Chapter 19: It's finally here
Lewandowski is the main striker of Dortmund's iron play, so he didn't want to hurt himself in a warm-up game, because the opponent's multiple fouls caused his mentality to change, he began to try to avoid some entanglements, and even didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for the ball.
As soon as an opposing player approaches, he will immediately give up the ball and protect himself as the primary goal.
He did this, in fact, there is nothing to blame, if he injured himself for a warm-up game, then he really picked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, and the gain outweighed the loss.
Dortmund had plenty of chances, Lewandowski received another pass from Reus, he could have had a shot like he had done before, but when he spotted the defender's leg reaching for him, he immediately jumped away and the ball was taken away.
PSG launched a quick counter-attack, with Pastore receiving the ball and driving in for a long drive before a through ball was delivered to Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic may be over 1.95 meters tall, but he is very skilled at his feet, he deftly shook off the onrushing Subotic and volleyed the ball into the Borussia Dortmund goal from a tight angle.
With the completion of this goal, the first half of the game with a strong smell of gunpowder is over, Dortmund fans are scolding Paris Saint-Germain's defenders for being too black, but what can be done, they are not referees, nor are they players on the field, it is impossible to retaliate.
"Chloe, aren't you going to make a substitution? The opponent is obviously targeting Lewandowski, and if he continues to stay on the field, it will not be good if he is injured. At half-time, Lawpin said to Jurgen Klopp.
"It's not time yet, if I replace Lewandowski now, it is equivalent to telling the players to give up this game, they will not play so hard, and my goal will not be achieved, not to mention that I just want the main players to experience in such a game, Lewandowski must pass this hurdle, otherwise he will have a shadow when he encounters fouls in the future." Klopp shook his head, he had no intention of substitution, and his reasons seemed to be very reasonable.
At the beginning of the second half, the situation was almost exactly the same as in the first half, and the players of Paris Saint-Germain seemed to have discovered Lewandowski's mentality, so they seized this and frequently made foul moves, but finally suddenly stopped, which annoyed Lewandowski.
The game was deadlocked, with both sides looking to feel that a 1-1 draw was acceptable, and such a draw would not be a defeat for anyone.
The fans in the stands were drowsy, some stood up impatiently and muttered, and sometimes even when the players got the ball, huge boos would spread throughout the stadium.
The fans have reason not to be happy, they are here to see the game, not to see a clumsy friendship matchup.
Jurgen Klopp had an impatient look on his face, he didn't like such a negative attitude towards the game, his team should be energetic, it should be indomitable.
Need to change! Change now!
He suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Yu and said, "China Yu, go warm up, ready to play at any time!" ”
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, there was no movement for a long time, he thought he had heard it wrong.
"Asked you to warm up, don't you want to play?" Klopp repeated.
This time Lin Yu heard clearly, Klopp did let him warm up, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for, what he needed was a stage to show himself.
Now that the stage is there, what awaits his performance.
When Lin Yu stood up from the bench, many eyes were on this side, including those sports reporters, who looked at the Asian man with a strong body and a height of about 1.85 meters, and they didn't even know when Klopp signed this person.
Lin Yu's signing is a bit of a joke, it was Klopp who made the decision, and then negotiated with the club, strictly speaking, it was actually a precedent for cultivating young stars, but fortunately Klopp had a precedent for cultivating young stars, so the club did not object and agreed to this contract.
There was no press conference, and no reporter even knew that Lin Yu's arrival was completely carried out in silence.
When he was on the bench, people didn't pay much attention to him, and even thought he might be Klopp's new assistant.
But now he took off his coat and revealed the shirt of the Dortmund club.
Number 13!
This is the number of the Lin Badminton jersey.
"What's going on with that number 13? Is it another Japanese who came to Dortmund after Shinji Kagawa? ”
"It may also be Korean, I heard that in Asia, Japan and South Korea have a high level of football!"
"What about China?"
"Chinese? Don't laugh, remember that Barrios? He just went to China to play, such an unstable player, actually treated as a baby, do you think our head coach Mr. will introduce a Chinese? ”
This is the discussion of the fans, and the reporters are even more excited, they are speculating about the origin of Lin Yu, the identity of Lin Yu, if Lin Yu is really Chinese, then they have news to write.
Sitting in the back stands are several Chinese, one of whom is the owner of the snack bar, although he does not make much money, but he likes football games very much, basically Dortmund games, he will come to watch, especially this time he has greater hope that he can see Chinese standing on the field of Dortmund to play.
The owner of the snack bar saw Lin Yu standing up from the bench, his eyes were actually moist, he stood up excitedly and shouted, and he proudly declared to his friends next to him, "That is my fellow from Shaanxi, an authentic Chinese young man!" ”
Lin Yu listened to the noise behind him, he felt like a star in the spotlight, he thought he would be nervous, but he found that he was very calm, very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him at all, although he was excited, but these excitement would not affect his movements, would not affect his thinking.
He warmed up on the sidelines, pressing his legs and jogging to get himself used to the rhythm of the game.
He looked at the giant LCD screen on the pitch, which showed 20 minutes into the second half, just over 20 minutes before the end of the game.
Klopp seemed to be waiting for something and didn't let Lin Yu play.
Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded on the court, and Lin Yu saw Lewandowski fall to the ground in pain.
Lewandowski overcame his fears, and he finally dared to fight with the opponent's defender, but he was tackled to the ground and looked like he was injured.
"Chinese feather! Come here! ”
Klopp was finally willing to make a substitution, and he looked at Lewandowski on the field with some anxiety, hoping that Lewandowski would not be too seriously injured.
Thankfully, when Lewandowski limped off the field, the team doctor's diagnosis was "just skin trauma".
Klopp finally breathed a sigh of relief, he told Lewandowski to have a good rest, and then replaced Lin Yu, he didn't even ask Lin Yu if he would play center, he just wanted to see the young man's ability to adapt to the situation.
