11. The first match of the Champions League

September 28, 2011.

"Audience friends, today is bringing you a key battle in the second round of Group F of the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League, last season's Ligue 1 runner-up Marseille played at home against the defending Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund, I am Duan Yixuan, and today I am commenting with my old partner Zhang Luzhang guidance."

"Good evening, everyone."

"Everyone can wait in front of the TV at 2:45 in the morning, there must be a considerable number of people to see Qin Gude's appearance, I am happy to tell you that in the list we just got, the Chinese teenager has confirmed the starter." Duan Yixuan's voice was already full of joy.

"Is he the first Chinese player to start in the Champions League?"

"Well, he should be second, the first is Sun Xiang, it was March 8, 2007, Sun Xiang represented PSV Eindhoven in the Emirates Stadium 1-1 draw with Arsenal, Sun Xiang, who played the whole game, made a free kick in front of the field in the 82nd minute, and it was with this free kick that Eindhoven equalized," Duan Yixuan was obviously prepared, "In addition to the two of them, Dong Fangzhuo and Hao Jun both played as substitutes in the Champions League for Manchester United and Schalke 04 respectively. ”

He turned a new page of information and continued to analyze: "Dortmund lost to Arsenal by one goal in the first round of the group stage, and this game against Marseille, who had a bad start to the league, should not be missed. Zhang Zhi, what do you think? ”

"If you look at the quality of the players alone, Dortmund should be better, and their main scorer Barrios has also returned to the team, the attack has been strengthened, and the last two league games have won big games, and morale is high; Marseille, on the other hand, have only won one of their opening eight league games, and the morale of the army is sluggish, and from these aspects, it should be said that Dort's chances of winning are greater. Although Zhang Lu is more familiar with Serie A, combined with the preparations he has done in advance, he has also analyzed the shape of the two sides.

Duan Yixuan nodded: "Haha, Zhang Zhi, I think the audience is more concerned about whether we can expect the first goal of the Chinese players in the Champions League?" ”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then replied to him with laughter: "Hey, hey, hey." ”-

Marseille's home stadium, the Stade Velodrome, is the largest stadium in France, with a total capacity of more than 67,000 people, and the facilities are second to none in Europe.

On the one hand, it was due to a light rain in the sky, but the bigger reason was that the home team's recent results were so poor.

Marseille, the runner-up of Ligue 1 last season, is definitely not a weak team despite its poor recent form, and its strength is known only by looking at the players in the team: under the command of the legendary French legend Didier Deschamps, there are two brothers, including the French national team's No. 1 goalkeeper Mandanda, the main international Valbuena, the "successor of Henry" and the team's top scorer last season, Cameroon's 90-year-old genius Nkoulu, the rising Spanish defensive star Azpilicueta, and the two brothers of Ghana twin stars Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew...... In some ways, the multi-nation team is even more star-stellar than the Bundesliga champions – as even their defender Cesar Azpilicueta is worth more than $6 million.

Dortmund attacked aggressively after the opening tentative, intending to turn against the guest and fall into the ground. And their attacking group in the front court did create two threatening attacks: the first was Qin Gude receiving a diagonal pass from Shinji Kagawa, and the powerful shot from outside the penalty area grazed the goalpost; The second time was Schmelzer's wonderful pass over the top from the left side of the midfield, Gotze unloaded the ball into the left side of the penalty area in an offside position, and then pushed it from close range after deducting the chasing Nkoulu, but was firmly held by the French goalkeeper Mandanda, who was close at hand.

Just when Götze was still sighing for a single knife, Mandanda had already launched a quick counterattack, he waved his long arm hard, and threw the ball directly to the midfielder Arau Diarra thirty meters away, who did not hesitate to hang directly to Dort's backfield, Subotic slipped with both feet at the same time in the face of Remy's breakthrough, and the "Henry's successor" easily bypassed him, and then the Grand Duke selflessly divided the ball on the left side, and Andre Ayew, who responded to the horse, smiled and accepted the gift in the face of the empty goal, with one against two, Weidenfeller, who lacked skills, could only beat his chest.

Then the rain became heavier, and the movements of the players on both sides were greatly affected, and the game entered a stalemate.

In the 42nd minute, Qin Goode received a pass from Gundogan at the front of the penalty area, and bent his bow and arrows to prepare for a kick, but was pushed to the supporting leg by Marseille midfielder Diarra from behind, and his left foot was not stable under the collision, and the whole person fell directly on the slippery turf.

Diarra's foul earned him a yellow card, but Marseille escaped a dangerous bombardment and the manager even gave him a thumbs up.

Qin Gude could only punch the grass dissatisfied, and was about to get up from the ground, but he felt a slight pain in his left ankle, and he suddenly didn't dare to make any more movements, so he could only stand up slowly while trying.

"Oops, alas!" Duan Yixuan shouted.

Zhang Lu looked at the picture intently, hesitated and did not speak.

Qin Gude tried to take two steps, but the pain in his left foot still did not subside, but it should not have hurt his bones, but he no longer dared to run on such a bad field.

He could only shake his head and make a request for a substitution to the head coach outside the field.

"Damn it!" Klopp's crisp suit had already been soaked in the rain, and he could only tell the assistant coach to arrange for the substitutes to warm up.

The referee didn't give the time for the dead ball, so Qin Goode had to hold on until after halftime.

After examination by the team doctor, his ankle was only slightly sprained, and the treatment was very simple, but it took at least one to two weeks to recover.

He sadly said goodbye to his first Champions League game.

At the start of the second half, his place was taken by his teammates.

"Ah...... Qin Gude was replaced by Barrios...... "Duan Yixuan, who didn't know the situation, was disappointed, "Although Qin Gude didn't score, his table in the first half was quite active, is Klopp's substitution a little lacking in consideration?" ”

"This substitution should have been a last resort," Zhang Lu explained to him, "I am afraid that Qin Gude was injured by the previous collision and fall, and he barely ran for the three minutes before the end of the first half. ”

At some point, the dark clouds over the stadium were almost nowhere to be seen, and even a few rays of sunlight were gently sprinkled on the players and spectators.

The pouring rain just now seemed to be just a dream, Qin Gude looked at the sky that was beginning to turn blue, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Lao Tzu has just practiced dribbling on the water for a few days, and you let me sprain my foot on a rainy day?

Goddamn it! -

Maybe the turf was still wet after the rain, or maybe it was infected by a team-mate, but Dortmund almost became a skating team in the second half: Götze rushed too hard to shoot at the goal, and Grosskreutz also hit the plane with a volley.

And that's not even the scariest of all. In the 62nd minute, Marseille made a long pass in the backfield, Hummels made a mistake in clearing the header, and Remy stopped the ball on his chest and inserted it into the right side of the penalty area 13 meters away with his right foot volley into the lower right corner of the goal, 2-0.

In the 69th minute, it was Piszczek's turn to stop the ball too much in the penalty area, Valvuena steals and crosses the bottom, and Remy, who responds, is knocked down by Kyle from behind to win a penalty, and Andre Ayew hits it, 3-0.

The Dortmund players did not lose their fighting spirit, and in the last 20 minutes they still mustered all the courage to launch attacks on the home team's goal, but they could not get a goal.

Jurgen Klopp stood quietly in his command area, his new shirt at halftime unbuttoned, revealing his broad, shaggy chest, and the cold wind after the rain poured inward, unaware of it.

After three short whistles, Klopp finally closed his eyes.

Then he immediately reopened his eyes and walked briskly onto the court—he wanted to comfort his beloved disciples one by one.

Qin Gude also closed his eyes.

There was a dull pain in the ankle of the left foot with an ice pack.

That was the end of his first Champions League game.

Dortmund, who lost two games and did not score a goal, became the laughing stock of all Europe for the first time after the game.

"The Bundesliga is falling! Ligue 1 runners-up teach Bundesliga champions how to behave with three goals! ”

"Dort will only be in the nest! The European competition still depends on Bayern! ”

"There have been no changes to the squad for two weeks, and the depth of the bench has left Klopp with nothing to do!"

"This is the end of the storm of youth! The Hornets will face a two-line rout! ”

"Unable to return to the sky! China's core loses its own anti-heaven attributes! ”

"The four are empty! The Dortmund supermarket is about to open! ”
