Dortmund's pre-season training camp is in full swing. [Full text reading. 】

For Borussia Dortmund's new signings, they are looking forward to doing well at Borussia, especially Arshavin, who was in the middle of the season when he was in Russia, and when his form began to come out, so he showed great form and ability in training soon after the start of the pre-season training camp.

Borowski was relatively quiet, but his running and receiving skills were recognized by everyone.

Although Owomoela is the oldest of the new players this time except for Fink, he is the least famous one - Donovan has played in the Bundesliga, Borowski was the main player of Bremen last season, Arshavin has a certain reputation in Russia, Fink is an old Bundesliga and a powerful faction, only he came out of the third division, no name, and he doesn't look powerful.

However, it didn't take long for the players to discover his characteristics - he was an absolute all-rounder who could play in two of the back three close to the wings, both as wing-backs and full-backs, and that he played in the same number of positions, if not at the top level, at least he could be trusted......

In a long season, such an all-rounder is indeed worth paying attention to.

For Dortmund's original players, the departure of the six main players, let them see their hope of playing the main team, although Dortmund won the double-line championship last season, but the substitute players did not have too many opportunities to show their faces, now the six main players left, they seem to have begun to get some main positions, such as Klinger was placed in the back position by Dick, and Olic has become more of Dortmund's main striker, which makes them train with great enthusiasm.

And for the two young players who entered the first team, they are very happy to see themselves in the first team, which means that they are very likely to play in the team, and there are no top stars in the team now, so whoever becomes the main team, it is possible!

In this mood, Dortmund's pre-season training camp was not only not lifeless because of last season's good results, but took on a more enthusiastic atmosphere.

"There are two sides to everything."

Dick told Marriner: "If we hadn't sold as many players in the summer, they might have continued their good form last season, but the pre-season training camp wouldn't have been as good. It's true that we are not as strong as before, but looking at these young people, they have the courage to take on the responsibility they have now, and they will work even harder to maintain the glory of last season...... This will be the starting point for Dortmund's success. ”

Time flies, and the time is fast on July 17, the Bundesliga Cup begins, Dortmund and Bayern Munich did not play in the first round, in this round, Stuttgart beat Bochum 2-1, Hamburg also beat the defending champion Hertha Berlin 2-1, in the semi-finals, Dortmund's opponent is Stuttgart, Bayern's opponent is Hamburg.

Borussia Dortmund had previously played against two local amateur teams, both of which were double-digit wins, and Dick's four-three-three tactics showed great attacking power in these two warm-up games, with the players up front almost taking turns and all the attackers scoring goals.

The tradition of warming up for Bundesliga teams is to play matches against amateur teams in the vicinity of their home country, which is also a way to expand their influence and improve the surrounding football atmosphere, so it is rare for Bundesliga teams to go abroad to train and play commercial games, which is also related to the fact that their league started very early - the first round of the Bundesliga this season starts on August 2, which is earlier than the start of the Premier League......

On July 22, in Westfa-Lun, Dortmund welcomed Stuttgart.

For the first match of the new season, Dortmund fans are very enthusiastic, because Dortmund has just announced that it has redeemed the remaining 49% of the ownership of the Westfa-Lun Stadium for 40 million euros, and now the Westpha-Lun Stadium is back in the hands of Dortmund FC, which makes the enthusiasm of Dortmund fans to watch the game again.

"Stuttgart ......" Dick laughed slightly, Stuttgart led by Magath this season is a standard youth army, and it just so happens that Dick's Dortmund is also a youth army, now let's see who is better in the youth players on both sides.

Dick sent four three starters in this game - goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the wings of the defenders were Dede and Alves, the middle was Warnes and Ismail, Metzelder did not play with some minor injuries, midfielders Kyle, Klinger and Borowski, and the forward partners were Arshavin, Olic and young Mario? Gomez!

"Eighteen-year-old Gomez became Dortmund's starting centre-forward for the game! After the departure of Cavinaghee, Dortmund did not buy a good center forward, and head coach Dick believes that there is already a top center forward in the team, and that is Mario? Gomez...... We hope what he says is true, and if Gomes can perform like Cavinaghi last season, it will undoubtedly be a huge help for the German national team, after a group of veterans have retired from the national team, the German national team now has only one reliable center forward, and Gomez may be able to become a pillar of the German national team's forward line. ”

The German commentator said with great interest, to say that this is what excites other Germans in Dortmund the most - it is clear that Dick intends to reuse Gomez, and if Gomez can really play, it will not only be a good thing for Dortmund, but a good thing for the whole of German football.

Stuttgart started with a four-four-two, with Hildebrand in goalkeeper and Hinkel, Meira, Boden and ...... in the back Philip, who just arrived on loan from Bayern? Ramsay! Lahm played right midfield at Bayern Munich, but Magath put him at left-back, so let's see what he will do. The midfield duo is veterans Sordo and Meissner, the two attacking midfielders are Belarusian Hleb and the new Cameroonian Blanco, and the forward partners are Kacau and the newly acquired German Kulanyi! Stuttgart has seven players under the age of 25, Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up is only 31 years old, and 10 players under the age of 25! What will the young players of both sides do? Let's wait and see! ”

For Magath he is also an ambitious manager, having done well in Stuttgart last season, finishing third and reaching the Champions League...... It's just that he was very unconvinced by two losses to Dortmund last season, and this time Dortmund has taken six players, which is also a good opportunity for him to take revenge.

Both sides are mostly young players, naturally they will not come up cautiously entangled, at the beginning of the game, the two sides are strangled together, to play fast, quickly into the rhythm!

In the shouts of nearly 70,000 fans at Dortmund's home stadium, Dortmund's young players soon continued to attack, Kele, Klinger and Borowski are not delicate players, but it is precisely because of this that Dortmund's midfield transmission has begun to become extremely concise compared to last season.

After receiving the ball in midfield, quickly distributing the ball to the wings, and then the full-backs on both wings began to create chances by cutting forward, passing quickly, and trying to tear through the opponent's defence, this is Dortmund's tactic.

Although the error rate of such a fast pass will be high, but Dortmund's players are young and very fast to defend, so they basically don't care about such a turnover rate.

Soon, they took the initiative, Stuttgart's two midfielders are not young, Sordo is thirty-five years old, Meissner is also thirty years old, in the face of such an impact they are difficult to quickly return to the defense in place, so that Stuttgart's defense is constantly under the impact of Dortmund.

Hildebrand's show begins.

He first saved Arshavin's long-range shot after breaking through the cross, and then blocked Olic and Gomez's close-range shots, and his excellent performance allowed Stuttgart to fend off Dortmund's attack, but also caused Dortmund to have some problems defensively - in the 37th minute, Stuttgart played a quick counter-attack, Hleb seized the gap after Dede's assist, broke through Borowski and burst into the box, and then distributed the ball to the back post. Kuranyi, who followed up at the back post, met the ball and pushed the ball to open the scoring for Stuttgart.

However, Dortmund were not impressed by such a goal, and in the second half they continued to attack quickly, gradually dragging down Stuttgart's defence.

In the 63rd minute, Klinger, who stepped forward to assist, sent a beautiful diagonal pass, Arshavin burst into the penalty area after receiving the ball, and faced Hildebran after getting rid of Mela's defense beautifully, when Hildebran attacked, Arshavin did not choose to shoot by himself, but passed the ball out, and the follow-up Gomez met the ball and pushed it directly, and the ball flew into the door of Stuttgart!

"The ball is in! Gomez scored his first competitive goal of the season for Borussia Dortmund! However, the goal was scored thanks to Arshavin's excellent performance, and the Russian showed his speed and technique to the fullest! Portugal national team centre-back Mela was shaken straight by him, and then he calmly provided the assist to Gomes...... Dick's summer transfer seems to be showing off gradually! ”

Dick shook his fist, and he was not surprised that Arshavin had such a performance, if there were many important players in Dortmund last season, then now, Arshavin's performance will largely determine Dortmund's results.

After the equalizer, Dortmund's players began to look at ease in attack, they continued to look for opportunities with fast passes, Stuttgart's defense began to show flaws, and finally in the 81st minute, Olic received a pass from substitute Odonko, beautifully got rid of Boden into the penalty area, and calmly pushed the bottom right corner of the goal in the face of the attacking Hildebrand, scoring the winning goal for Dortmund!

"Borussia Dortmund are the first team to reach the final of the Carabao Cup! They were knocked out of the Carabao Cup early last season, but will Dick be able to lift the Carabao Cup trophy for Borussia Dortmund this season? Let's wait and see! ”
