Travelling to Westphalia to take on Borussia Dortmund was not an easy task, not only because it was the home of the devils, but also because Arsenal's opponents were hungry to win, it was going to be a tough game and Arsenal were prepared.

Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga last season, Borussia Dortmund also made it back to the Champions League group stage after nine years, and Arsenal reached the Champions League for the 14th consecutive year. Nine years ago, the two sides were in a Champions League group, with Borussia Dortmund beating Arsenal 2-1 thanks to a brace from Rosicky after being scored by Thierry Henry at home. It's just that Rosicky is now wearing the Arsenal shirt, and Dortmund has finally burst into its glory after experiencing enough lows.

Returning to the Champions League after nine years, Dortmund is full of caution, especially in this game they met Arsenal, who have been thriving in the past two seasons, Dortmund naturally hopes to be able to perform in the Champions League group stage this time, and they certainly hope to get off to a good start in the Champions League. Although Arsenal is very competitive, Dortmund may not be so afraid of Arsenal. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and young Dott is full of energy.

goalkeeper Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer in the back line; midfielders Bender and Kyle; plus attackers Gotze, Shinji Kagawa and Grosskreutz; Lone striker Robert Lewandowski is at the front of the team.

Dortmund came prepared for this game, and what Dortmund needed was to play their own tactics, and they Jurgen. Under the leadership of Klopp, a dazzling storm of youth was played; Dort's style of play is gorgeous and rigorous. In the last season. The youthful Dortmund won the Bundesliga title with a pleasing style of play and a solid backline. For Borussia Dortmund. Now they don't have to worry about what the opponent's squad is like, they just need to do their own thing.

However, when Dort faces Arsenal, they also need to be cautious; Although Arsenal in the new season seems to be a little lacking in the number of goals, no one dares to underestimate Arsenal's terrifying offensive firepower. Klopp also targeted to strengthen the defense of the midfield and backfield, as much as possible to cut off the connection between Xiao Qing and Arsenal's midfield, which will be the most limiting way for Xiao Qing; As for wanting to rely on the individual ability of the players or the team's support, this is not necessarily a good choice, because Arsenal also has a super partner like Robin van Persie in the front line.

Arsenal chose their ideal best combination for their Champions League debut. goalkeeper Szczesny; Right to Left Sarnia, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Alaba; midfielders Alexander Song, Mikel Arteta, Cazorla and Theo Walcott; There is no doubt about the combination of double strikers Xiao Qing and Robin van Persie.

Both teams have fielded their strongest squads, and they are determined to get off to a good start in the Champions League; Although Dortmund's quality is very good, as the reigning Champions League champions, Arsenal have enough confidence to win. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, lost just one game at home and conceded just eight goals last season, but they lost to Hertha Berlin in the last round of the league to end an eighteen-game home unbeaten streak, but the Devils' home title is no joke, and Arsenal really need to work harder if they want to win the game here.

There wasn't much temptation for either team at all, at the fiery Westphalian Stadium. The two teams entered a frantic battle of bayonets just after the whistle blew, and both teams full of hunger for victory also started the game with full confidence in the pursuit of victory. Both teams are sticking to their own style of play. They all believe they can come out on top in this one.

In the third minute of the game, Walcott cut into the penalty area on the side and received Xiao Qing's return pass on his chest to stop the ball with his right foot, and Dort goalkeeper Weidenfeller flicked the ball with one hand, and Hummels cleared. Dortmund quickly counter-attacked with Shinji Kagawa breaking through the middle, Mertesacker tackled the ball to the left side of the box, and the outflanked Grosskreutz pushed high with his left foot.

In the seventh minute of the game, Gotze lightly stopped the ball in the middle and picked up a pass to find Lewandowski who was outflanked on the right side, and Mertesacker intercepted it with a header. Two minutes later, Dortmund attacked with a long pass from the back, and Shinji Kagawa stopped the ball on his chest at the edge of the penalty area against offside, and shot high with his left foot. In the twelfth minute, Gotze took the ball in the middle of the field and crossed the penalty area, Lewandowski dribbled horizontally from the left and shook down the attacking Szczesny to hit the empty goal, but fortunately, Arsenal fullback Sagna retreated to the goal line to clear!

The young Szczesny is still a little reckless, perhaps because he has been the main goalkeeper of the Champions League winning team for two consecutive seasons has made the young Szczesny underestimate the hero of the world, and he overestimates his own ability. Fortunately, Sagna on Arsenal's back line came to the rescue of the team in time, and Arsenal did not fall behind at the beginning of the game.

Luckily escaped, Arsenal's players also need to calm down more at this time; I have to admit that Dortmund's impact is far beyond Arsenal's imagination, and the Gunners did not expect that the young Dortmund would be able to temporarily gain the upper hand in this match-up. However, this also aroused the arrogance in the hearts of the Gunners, to say that they really do not worry about any opponent against Arsenal, the Gunners are the representatives of the best attacking team, they do not think that Dortmund can completely suppress themselves in the attacking end that Arsenal is most proud of. The Gunners will have a passionate offensive battle with Dort, Arsenal will let Dort understand that the best attacking team can only be Arsenal, and if you want to fight against Arsenal, Dortmund is good, but they still need to work harder, and now Dort is not Arsenal's opponent at all!

Xiao Qing is also starting to get excited, he likes to attack, he likes such a fast-paced constant transition between offense and defense; Although it would be very rewarding to break the iron bucket formation, in such a magnificent battle, Xiao Qing could feel more excited and hearty; As a striker, it's really something to be happy about enjoying attacking football like that. Xiao Qing now wants to score goals and score more goals in this game, and he wants to help Arsenal establish Arsenal's presence at the Westfalian Stadium, home of the Devils. Winning a game in a stadium like this is a great thing to enjoy and fulfill.

Dortmund, who had the advantage after the opening, then wanted to slow down the attacking tempo, but Arsenal simply couldn't let Dortmund sell immediately after taking advantage; The Gunners are not the ones who don't break out when they suffer, and Arsenal simply can't let the tempo of the game be controlled by Dort right now. So Dortmund wants to slow down the pace of the game, and for Arsenal, it is simply impossible for them to let Dortmund get their wish; Arsenal are a more mature team, and compared to the young Dort, Arsenal are confident that they will completely drag Dortmund down with their fast-paced games.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Xiao Qing smashed the ball to dodge Bender's tackle, and then instantly accelerated to the penalty area; The ball seemed to be stuck to Xiao Qing's feet, and Dort defender Subotic passively retreated in small steps, because he didn't dare to stretch out his feet to steal, and he didn't dare to foul in the penalty area. Seeing Subotic's passivity, Xiao Qing violently flicked the ball to the right, and then directly volleyed vigorously.

Although Dort goalkeeper Weidenfeller saved the ball from the bottom line, at Westphalen Stadium, Hornets fans felt a chill in their backs, because Xiao Qing's attack was too good; Xiao Qing went out of the Bundesliga, compared to three seasons ago, Xiao Qing at that time was terrifying enough, but now Xiao Qing is even better, Dortmund fans did not expect Xiao Qing to have such a growth rate, they know that it is really a very difficult thing to limit Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing squeezed in front of the goal and prepared to fight for the top, and Arteta's corner kick was obviously looking for Xiao Qing; Although Subotic and Hummels were close to Xiao Qing's side, Xiao Qing still pulled out the onion on dry land and hit the goal with a strong header; It's just that the Dort goalkeeper is in a very correct position, and Xiao Qing's header this time failed to get more opportunities.

Although Arsenal's attack seems to have been temporarily ended, Dortmund also knew Arsenal's strength at this time, and they also knew Xiao Qing's ability; Now Xiao Qing began to break out, although Xiao Qing has the vast majority of Dort's defensive attention, but Xiao Qing is still able to create opportunities to attack the goal with his super personal ability, for the current Dort, their challenge is also coming, because Xiao Qing is so terrifying, they dare not guarantee that they can have the opportunity to completely freeze Xiao Qing in this game.

Xiao Qing is very excited now, because he knows that in such a fast-paced offensive battle, it is the best time for the strikers to score goals; Xiao Qing also felt that the current rhythm of the game has been slowly mastered by Arsenal, Dortmund wants to slow down the pace of the game at this time, which the Gunners will not allow at all, and the Gunners will use faster speed to impact Dort's goal in this game. It's true that Westphalian is the home of the Devils, but the Arsenal players are more confident of a win at the Devils' home stadium, a thrilling victory!

Xiao Qing is ready, ready to continue to attack Dort's goal in the next game, and he is ready to celebrate the goal at the Westphalian Stadium! (To be continued......)
