Chapter 34 A good start
Because of Zhou Yi's words, domestic public opinion is not very concerned about whether Yan Min should be in the squad, or when he can play in Dortmund, and now everyone is concerned about a more high-level question, that is, the meaning expressed in the commentator's article in the "People's Daily" - Zhou Yi They have brought rare dividends to Chinese football, should we sit back and eat dividends, or should we invest these dividends in order to expect more dividends in the future?
This has generated discussion and attention from the media and fans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
And in this case, far away in Germany, the match between Dortmund and Augsburg also began.
Although it was away before the game, everyone is still generally optimistic about Dortmund, after all, the difference in strength between the two teams is too great, and Dortmund's recent form is very good.
This view turned out to be correct.
Just 24 minutes into the game, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who started the game, opened the scoring for Borussia Dortmund and scored his first Bundesliga goal.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was selected in the starting line-up for this league game because of his impressive performances after coming off the bench in the Super Cup.
Another new signing, Mkhitaryan, who came with him, did not even make the squad for this game because of an ankle injury in training.
In the first half, thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal, Dortmund led the home team Augsburg 1-0.
After the two sides changed places in the second half, Dortmund continued to control the situation on the field, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Dortmund's midfielders ran aggressively, passed the ball tacitly, and constantly threatened the Augsburg goal.
But in the 57th minute, Gundogan, who was playing on the pitch, suddenly made a gesture to the sidelines asking for a substitution, and at the same time he covered his back with his backhand, frowning, and his expression was not very normal.
Jurgen Klopp reacted quickly and replaced Gundogan with Kuba.
'Gundogan was substituted, he only played 57 minutes, it looked like he was injured, and Klopp replaced him with Kuba to protect him. You must know that five days later, the German national team has a friendly match against Paraguay, and Gundogan was recruited into the national team. The German team certainly doesn't want to see any ......mistakes in the midfield," said commentator Duan Xin.
No one takes Gundogan's fate too seriously, after all, as Duan Xin said, there is still a national team game in five days, and it is normal for Klopp to replace Gundogan out of caution, which does not mean that Gundogan's injury is too serious.
Moreover, after Gundogan's departure, Dortmund's offensive did not weaken, and they continued to control the situation.
In the 66th minute, Zhou Yi got rid of two players in a row near the center circle and sent a through ball, Aubameyang took advantage of his speed to enter the penalty area, single-handedly faced Augsburg's goalkeeper Amsif, and then fired a low shot!
The football flew into the goal again.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's brace also gave Zhou Yi his first assist of the season in the league.
As the Bundesliga's assist leader for three consecutive seasons, he will definitely have to defend that honour this season. Looking at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's performances, Borussia Dortmund's attackers are still alive and well, which will help him defend his title.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal gave Borussia Dortmund a comfortable 2-0 lead over Augsburg on the road, and the outcome of the game looked out of doubt.
However, Augsburg certainly did not want to be defeated on their home turf and made two substitutions in the 77th minute in the hope of strengthening the attack.
But just two minutes after they completed the substitution, Aubameyang received a pass from Mark in front of the goal, grabbed the point and scored, 3:0!
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang! hat-trick! This is his first league game for Borussia Dortmund! "It seems that after leaving Gotze and Lewandowski, Dortmund quickly found a suitable replacement!"
The club's sports director in the stands, Zorke, was very proud, and he picked it all up!
They did a great job, which shows that he has a good eye.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was in the limelight after completing his hat-trick, but the game's starting centre-forward, Mark Wagner, also did well, and after Lewandowski left, he stepped up front and became a centre-forward.
With his body, fighting with the strong centre-backs in the box is not the way he is good at playing, he is more agile in his movements, and sometimes he is not even in goal, not in the box. For example, the third goal scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang just now was assisted by Marka after going to the side and crossing.
And Mark's hard work in this game paid off at the last minute.
In the 86th minute, Zhou Yi once again went straight to Aubameyang, and Aubameyang burst into the penalty area with the ball and was brought down. Despite Dortmund already leading by three goals and running out of time, the referee was steadfast in blowing a foul on the Augsburg player and awarded Dortmund a penalty.
In this penalty, Aubameyang, who has already scored three goals, did not want to take it himself, and the person who took the penalty was Mark.
After setting up the football, he waited for the referee to blow the whistle, and then ran and shot, and it was all in one fell swoop.
The ball flew to the right, and the Augsburg goalkeeper pounced to the left.
The football flew into the goal without any suspense!
"Mark Wagner, his first league goal of the season, Borussia Dortmund lead Augsburg 4-0! The defending champions have taken a solid first step in their title defence this season! Pep Guardiola's side will face no less competition in the new season than last season......

In the end, Borussia Dortmund beat Augsburg 4-0 away to get the league season off to a flying start.
A day later, their rivals Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 at home. Pep Guardiola is off to a flying start. However, with Dortmund's 4:0 in front, Bayern Munich's 3:1 doesn't seem to be so worthy of boasting and praise.
Of course, some Munich media can also force gold on their faces, claiming that Bayern Munich have strong attacking firepower, and like Borussia Dortmund, they scored four goals in the game - Borussia Mönchengladbach's goal was also scored by Bayern Munich, and central defender Dante scored an own goal in the 40th minute of the game......
However, the Munich media is still a bit disciplined, and no media really says that.
After the first round of the league, Dortmund, who scored four goals, did not sit at the top of the league table because there were teams with more attacking firepower than them - in the first place was Hertha Berlin, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 in the game and ended up in first place with one more goal difference than Borussia Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are in second place.
Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are tied for third, both beating their respective opponents 3-1.
After this league game, the German national team has a warm-up match against Paraguay on the 14th.
Borussia Dortmund have Reuss, Ilkay Gundogan, Hummels and Sven Bender all named in the squad for the national team.
However, the Dortmund media are a little unhappy with the national team's move, because Gundogan was injured in the game against Augsburg, and they hope that the national team can give up on Gundogan's call-up and let Gundogan stay in Dortmund to recover from his injury.
However, the German Football Association was unmoved, and in the German national team squad announced after the first round of matches, Gundogan's name was prominently listed.
This caused discontent in the Dortmund media.
There are also people at Dortmund who are unhappy about this.
Because Bayern Munich, Götze and Schweinsteiger have recovered from injury, and it is normal for the national team not to be called up for insurance purposes. However, after Draxler, who played for Schalke 04, was injured in the first round of the league and asked for leave from the national team, the national team did not recruit him. You must know that Gundogan also left the field with an injury in the first round of the league, why did the national team insist on recruiting Gundogan?
“...... If we have to recruit Gundogan, we also hope that Loew and his team don't let Gundogan play in the game......"
With the fact that Gundogan was called up to the national team can no longer be changed, the Dortmund media have no choice but to make such a request.
However, judging from the actual game, it is clear that Loew and his coaching staff did not heed Dortmund's advice.
In the warm-up match against Paraguay, Gundogan started the game!
Just ten minutes into the game, Paraguay took the lead.
In the thirteenth minute, Paraguay changed the score to 2:0.
Gundogan stepped up and in the 19th minute, he latched on to Mesut Ozil's low cross from the left and fired a left-footed shot 19 metres in front of goal to push the ball into the back of the net.
The commentator excitedly shouted: "Gundogan's form is really very good! He had a very super performance in the German Super Cup, and when he returned to the national team, he continued his excellent form! In the absence of Schweinsteiger, Gotze, and Draxler due to injury, and Toni Kroos was absent as a father, Gundogan provoked the backbone of the German team's midfield! He is an indispensable figure! I believe that seeing Gundogan's outstanding performance in the national team, Dortmund fans and Klopp should also be happy, right? After all, after leaving Gotze this summer, Dortmund will need Gundogan's consistent performance even more......"
But Dortmund fans don't think so, they don't care how Gundogan performs in the national team, they have one wish now - hope Gundogan doesn't get hurt.
But the good times were short-lived, and in the 27th minute, Gundogan suddenly made a gesture to the sidelines, and he then covered his own midfield......
"Ah, Gundogan seems to have suffered another back injury, and he may not be able to keep playing......"
"Damn!" In front of the TV, Klopp couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.
The worst fears of all Dortmund people have happened......
