At the start of the second half, Dortmund continued to bombard Braunschweig's penalty area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, not only did Zhou Yi play well, but the other players gradually played normally, which can be seen from the details of their handling of the ball.

In the first half, the Dortmund players were inevitably a little absent-minded in handling the ball, and then a little impetuous.

In the second half, however, they looked much more composed.

It was a not-so-good sign, and it made Brunswick head coach Liebek Necht on the sidelines frown.

The Braunschweig players on the pitch were also feeling the pressure.

In the 60th minute, Dortmund launched an attack, Mark was pushed to the ground by Braunschweig defender Norman Toilkov when he tried to turn around with the ball on the edge of the box, and the referee blew the whistle to award Dortmund a free kick and also gave Toilkov a yellow card.

This was unseen in the first half, and for the full 45 minutes, no individual card was taken by any of the Braunschweig players who defended Dortmund.

The yellow card was a signal that it was impossible for the Braunschweig players to keep Borussia Dortmund at bay without paying a price.

But in fact, the most terrible thing is that even if they pay the price, they can't prevent it......

Jurgen Klopp saw the pressure Braunschweig was under in defence and decided to add fuel to the fire.

So just when Braunschweig received a yellow card and felt a lot of pressure on Dortmund's gradually intensifying offensive, Dortmund replaced Kuba with Reus and continued to strengthen the attack.

In this game, in fact, Dortmund played very hard, in addition to the players underestimating the enemy, there was also a rotation factor in it.

Many of the main players have been rotated and rested, and Dortmund did not start the strongest lineup.

But even so, in the face of the promoted Mabrunswick, whose strength is obviously weaker than itself, it should not be like this.

So in the final analysis, it's the reason why the players' mentality is not right.

Once Reuss came on, his pace and skill were able to cause problems for Braunschweig's backline.

As soon as he came on the field, he received a pass from Zhou Yi and burst into the penalty area and came to shoot.

The ball ended up going a little off, but it scared the Braunschweig players enough.

So in the 65th minute, Braunschweig head coach Lieberk-Necht also made a substitution.

He made a first counter-change in midfield and then replaced a midfielder with a defender, apparently trying to strengthen the defence at the back. As for midfield control...... Anyway, Braunschweig is shrinking in front of his penalty area to defend, and the midfield defense has long existed in name only, so it doesn't matter whether you want it or not.

※※※

The head coaches of the two teams are-for-tat, and they see the moves. Jurgen Klopp replaced Kuba with Reuss and after stepping up the attack, Liberknecht made two substitutions. And Klopp's adjustments are still continuing.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who scored a hat-trick in the last game, started this game, but I don't know if it was because he was in too good shape in the last game, which led to the sluggishness in this game, or because he was a little arrogant after scoring three goals in the last game, and he didn't pay enough attention to Braunschweig, in short, his performance in this game was lackluster.

Jurgen Klopp decided to make a risky substitution, replacing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with young winger Jonas Hofmann.

Jonas Hoffmann, born in 1992 and only 21 years old, played for Hoffenheim's youth team before being poached by Borussia Dortmund in 2011 and scored 15 goals in Borussia Dortmund's second team, making three Bundesliga appearances last season. This season is a natural fit to stay in the first team.

'Replacing Aubameyang with Hofmann is a gamble-like substitution. Marcel Leif said. 'Hofmann is a young player with a lot of top-flight experience, so Klopp will certainly not bring him on the pitch as he did against Hoffenheim last season, just to experience the atmosphere, but to help Dortmund break the deadlock...... But Klopp doesn't have a better man. On the bench, the only person who can be used is Hoffman. Kyle is a defensive midfielder who clearly doesn't fit into the current situation......"

No one pinned much hope on the young man.

But the turning point of events happened to this young man.

In the seventy-fifth minute, Zhou Yi made a long pass directly in the backfield, and the football flew past the crowd in the midfield and flew directly to the feet of Hoffman on the side.

Zhou Yi's long ball was comfortable, although it was far away and powerful, but Hoffman didn't have much trouble stopping it, he easily unloaded the ball and then dribbled into the Braunschweig penalty area.

At this time, he was basically single-handed!

In the face of the attacking Braunschweig goalkeeper Davari, Jonas calmly pushed the far corner, the ball rolled past Davari's feet, and then crashed into the net!

"The ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in! In the seventy-fifth minute, Dortmund finally broke the deadlock!"

The West** Stadium, which was still a little silent before, exploded everyone's emotions at this time.

Although they never thought before the game that their team would be held to a draw at home by the promoted horses, as the game progressed, this fear surfaced in the minds of many Dortmund fans, like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, not knowing when it would fall.

Well, now Hofmann's goal made that sword disappear – and they are convinced that with this lead, Dortmund will never be able to equalise at home again.

Hoffmann was also thrilled to score the goal, and the Brunswick goal in the second half was just below the South Stand, and he ran to the South Stand to celebrate the goal with the fans there through the billboard and barbed wire wall.

“...... It was Jonas Hoffmann's first Bundesliga goal of his career, congratulations! Borussia Dortmund will become the next Götze-like figure as Dortmund continues to pursue a youthful policy in the new season?

Marcel Leif, as a German commentator, was naturally concerned about Hoffmann's future.

But the Chinese commentator Duan Xin's focus is not quite the same as that of his German counterpart.

He is thinking about Yan Min, who is also a Chinese player, and Zhou Yi's status no longer has to worry about him, in front of the Dortmund team, Zhou Yi is the unshakable absolute core. And Yan Min, as a player who has just joined Dortmund, faces much more competition than Zhou Yi, and it is also more severe.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's hat-trick in the first round of the league made the Chinese media and fans nervous, and although the two men were in different positions, they had similar characteristics - both were fast wide players - so Aubameyang was naturally seen as a rival to Yan Min.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's performance in this game was average, but before the Chinese fans could breathe a sigh of relief, another Jonas Hoffman appeared in the air...... His goal also gave him the upper hand in the competition with Yan Min.

Will Hofmann's goal affect Yan Min's prospects at Borussia Dortmund?

At least for now, everyone's fears are justified, and after Hofmann's goal, his appearance at Borussia Dortmund will definitely be higher than Yan Min's.

'Hofmann scored and Dortmund took the lead. But I believe that this is not necessarily good news for many Chinese fans, because our Yan Min has another strong competitor......"

※※※

Yan Min did not go to the game to watch the game, he chose to watch it live at home, because it would be possible to practice German listening at the same time.

He also saw Hofmann's goal and he also thought Hofmann would be his rival.

But unlike other people's worries, Yan Min felt that it was no big deal. I'm in Dortmund, how can I be without competition? There must be, and it's only more intense than in China.

In this regard, Yan Min is mentally prepared.

For competition, Yan Min's thinking is also different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people feel that the more competitors there are, the more fierce the competition will be, and the more troublesome it will be.

But Yan Min doesn't see it that way, if his goal is to play, then as long as he is the best performer in this position, isn't it?

So Yan Min didn't think that Hofmann's appearance would make his situation in Dortmund worse.

It's better to go together than one by one, saving everyone time.

So when the domestic commentators and the Internet were worried about Yan Min, Yan Min himself didn't take it seriously.

He frowned, squinting at the TV screen, not worried about his future, but trying to listen to Marcel Leif's explanation, hoping to understand the few words......
