Chapter 60: Hummels

Not long after Guan Peng came on the field, the Schalke 04 team brewed an attack, after Jones cut off Gotze's return pass, he quickly handed it to Baumjohn in front, Baumjohn deftly erased Guan Peng's defense, I have to say that Guan Peng's current defense is still very poor, it seems that Guan Peng wants to become an all-round offensive and defensive midfielder in the future, and it is necessary to strengthen defense!

After Baumjohn wiped Guan Peng, Baumjohn distributed the football to Raul on the wing, the former Real Madrid legend - His Royal Highness the Prince of the Bernabeu, still so charming, I saw Raul easily pass Piszczek, facing Santana, who was making up the defense, and passed the football to Baumjohn with the outside instep.

"Shot!! Baumjohn receives a wonderful pass from teammate Raul! Will he be able to score this goal? Duan Xuan's voice raised a lot.

"WOW! Hummels' brave block! Hummels used his body to block Baumjohn's long-range shot! I have to say, Hummels is a man! Zhan Jun watched in surprise as Hummels jumped up and blocked Baumjohn's long-range shot with his body, and it would definitely hurt to die when such a powerful shot hit his body at close range.

"Mats, are you alright?" Weidenfeller, who was closest to Hummels, was the first to run over to see if Hummel was injured when he fell to the ground, but Hummels did him a great favor just now, otherwise the attack would have been dangerous.

Hummels slowly stood up with Weidenfeller's support, and although his body still seemed to be shaky, he shook his head at Klopp on the sidelines, signaling that he could still play.

Let's shout the name of our best defensive player in Borussia Dortmund! He is our hero! The live broadcast began to mobilize the Dortmund crowd in the stadium to chant Hummels' name and encourage the player who had just blocked the opponent's shot with his body.

"Mats!"

"Mats!"

Hummels slowly regained consciousness, the opponent's close-range shot just now hit him was really uncomfortable, and even for a moment he felt some pain in his back, Hummels stood firm and looked at Schalke 04's Raul, Huntelaar and others.

"With me, I wouldn't have let you score!" Hummels roared loudly, and the nearly 2-metre-tall German centre-back was the anchor in Dortmund's backline.

In the 43rd minute, Dortmund was inspired by Hummels who blocked the opponent's shot with his body just now, and also began to counterattack Schalke 04.

The wall-to-wall cooperation between the two passed Schalke's Jones's defense, Guan Peng sent a through ball, Gotze was activated at the moment of Guan Peng's pass, Schalke's central defender Papadopoulos had to pull Gotze down in order to stop Gotze, Papadopoulos received a yellow card, he also accumulated five yellow cards, and will be automatically suspended for the next round.

In this way, the first half of the game ended with Dortmund 1:0 Schalke 04 into the halftime break, the players between the two sides are ready to take advantage of the halftime to recover their strength, you must know that the first half of the game is much more physical than the game with other teams, this derby battle both sides are trying their best to press, high pressing is undoubtedly extremely physically demanding, so the players with full physical strength will undoubtedly have more room to play.

However, Schalke 04's Huntelaar did not play very well in this game, as the Dutchman, who has almost competed with Gomez for the Bundesliga Golden Boot so far this season, has not had a single shot on goal so far in this game, and has not shown much performance, but a player like Huntelaar may let him score once he is given the opportunity.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Klopp and Stevens had a tacit understanding that every time they made substitution adjustments, they were ready to see the performance of both sides in the second half and then make targeted substitution adjustments.

In the 49th minute, Schalke looked for an opportunity again, Holterby grabbed the ball from Guan Peng's long pass to Lewandowski, handed the football to Fox who was inserted on the side, Fox faced Schmelzer's defense, and after a one-two cooperation with his teammate Raul, he came to the bottom line, Fox made a low pass to Huntelaar, but unfortunately the football was cleared by Hummels' big foot in advance, and this good offensive opportunity was destroyed.

Guan Peng also began to run, after all, the system requires him to either score a goal or assist his teammates to score, and he needs to organize the team's attack, rather than passively defending.

"Hey, pass me the ball!" Guan Peng kept shouting like a teammate on the field, and Guan Peng kept transferring and passing to the players on the other side after receiving the ball, and the situation on the field was dominated by Dortmund for a while.

Slowly, the Schalke players seemed to be losing patience, after all, the current lead was Dortmund, and Schalke had to press out to play, looking for opportunities to score.

In the 53rd minute, the underdog Schalke took the lead to create a good chance, goalkeeper Ulreich drove the goal, the football was picked up by Huntelaar with his foot, and he turned past Dortmund's young defender Leitner at the same time, and sent a through ball, Holterby burst into the Dortmund penalty area, but Holtby's low shot hit the side netting.

"Oops! What a pity! Huntelaar's pick just now was very beautiful, and he also sent a precise through ball, but it's a pity that Holtby's shooting skills are so bad, if it was Raul just now, he would have basically scored! Zhan Jun couldn't help but sigh a little.

In the 54th minute, Schalke's coach Stevens made substitution adjustments, and Finnish teenager Pukki replaced Draxler, after all, Draxler's performance in this game was not good, basically there was no outstanding performance, and he was basically frozen by Dortmund's defenders.

In the 61st minute, Dortmund's Guan Peng received a pass from teammate Blaszczykowski, Guan Peng shot from the top of the penalty area, and Guan Peng's long-range shot hit the Schalke defender Atsuto Uchida.

"We can see that the Chinese kid is really bad at shooting, and he even maliciously kicked our international Atsushi Uchida, we seriously despise this player!" The commentator of the Japanese sports station said when he saw the football question played by Guan Peng, Atsuto Uchida.

Dortmund won a corner, Dortmund's first penalty taker Gotze stood in the corner area, and after putting the football away, Gotze waited for the referee's whistle while observing the position of his teammates.
