Chapter 66: Naples
Lam's goal made the Hong Kong TV commentator very excited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because Lin Zhijian's father is a Hong Kong person, since Lin Zhijian's debut in Hamburg, the Hong Kong media have paid great attention, and the degree of attention is no less than the original Chinese mainland media attention to Zhou Yi.
Now, whenever there is a game of the Hamburg team, Hong Kong TV stations will choose to broadcast it.
Now they have witnessed the first league goal of Lim's career.
"Lin Zhijian's wave is beautiful! A real world wave! I hope this ball can bring Lin Zhijian more good luck!"
They also hope that Lin Zhijian can play for the Hong Kong team, and if Hong Kong has a player who can sit firmly in the Bundesliga team, it will be of great help to improve the strength.
Lin Zhijian's goal also lifted the spirits of the backward Hamburg.
In the following games, although Dortmund attacked fiercely, Hamburg did not concede another goal. Of course, this result was also the result of those two yellow cards - in order to contain Dortmund's attack, it is impossible for Hamburg not to foul.
They ended the first half with a score of 1:2.
At the start of the second half, Hamburg's centre-back Westermann equalised with a header from a corner.
"Stubborn hamburgers!"
"It seems that the international break day does have a big impact on Dortmund......"
After Hamburg equalised, Dortmund attacked even harder.
They seem to be enraged by the burger.
The whole Hamburg team had to face the wrath of Borussia Dortmund.
According to the statistics after the game, Dortmund had a total of 28 shots in that game, 13 of which were in the woodwork......
In the 65th minute, Hamburg was unable to withstand Dortmund's stormy attack.
Zhou Yi suddenly stepped forward outside the penalty area, inserted into the penalty area, received a pass from Siebel, he exerted his strength on the spot, and directly imagined the football into the far corner.
Hamburg goalkeeper Adler couldn't make a save, and the ball flew into the goal!
"Zhou Yi! He regained the lead for Borussia Dortmund! This is also his first league goal in the new season! No matter who rotates, Zhou Yi will not rotate, and he is right!"
※※※
Zhou Yi's goal was like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the Hamburg players...... Broke the will of the Hamburg players to resist.
At the same time, Jurgen Klopp also took the opportunity to make a substitution, replacing Kuba with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and replacing Schiebert with Mark.
In the seventy-third minute, Mark, who had just been on the field for a short time, took advantage of an anti-offside opportunity to take Zhou Yi's straight plug and break through Hamburg's goal.
4:2! Borussia Dortmund revert the lead to two goals!
Just a minute later, while the Hamburg players were distracted and inattentive by conceding a goal, Reus scored another goal for Dortmund, 5:2!
With a three-goal lead with more than ten minutes left in the game, it could basically mean that Dortmund had won, and the outcome of the game was no suspense.
But Dortmund doesn't seem to stop there.
In the 81st minute, Mark scored twice with a header!
Amid the deafening cheers at the Wester, Dortmund's attacking frenzy finally came to an end.
Zhou Yi was also substituted after this, and Klopp wanted to let Zhou Yi rest more when the victory was decided.
In the end, Dortmund beat Hamburg 6-2 on their home turf.
Although there were twists and turns in the game, the final victory was still brilliant.
Borussia Dortmund sealed their 23rd consecutive league win with a big win at home stadium.
Borussia Dortmund, the king of Europe, who had just won the UEFA Super Cup, now looks like no one can beat them. Although they lost two key players before the start of the new season. However, they soon found two excellent successors in the transfer market, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan.
After the results of the Champions League group draw came out, according to the odds offered by the bookmaker to each team to win the championship, although Dortmund is not the highest odds to win the championship, it is also in the first group.
These all fully show that Dortmund is strong at present, they are no longer just a regional powerhouse that can be in the nest in Germany, but a top European team on a par with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, and no one can ignore them.
Dortmund's bright future is like a fire cooking oil, full of flowers.
However, some people may not be convinced.
For example, Dortmund's first opponent in the Champions League group stage is Napoli from Serie A.
※※※
Napoli is no stranger to older Chinese fans, as they will remember the Serie A champions led by Maradona.
Napoli had a glorious past, and under the leadership of Maradona, the team defeated strong opponents such as AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus in the league and won the league title. In the years when they didn't win the league championship, they have always been a strong contender and spoiler for the championship, and they are an absolute first-class team in Serie A. It is not the same concept as Napoli, who was relegated later, and Napoli before Maradona came.
Napoli was founded in 1926 and, in the 58 years before Maradona arrived, Napoli had won the Coppa Italia twice and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup once. The rest of the time, the team's history is lackluster.
They had the best period of Maradona's career since 1984, when the club brought Diego Maradona from Barcelona to Naples for a record transfer fee of $4 million, a record amount in the world.
For seven years, Maradona helped Napoli become a formidable force in Italian football. From obscurity to being able to compete with the three northern heroes for the title, it is not an exaggeration to describe the changes in Napoli as earth-shattering.
Third in Serie A in 1986, Serie A champion and Coppa Italia winner in 1987, Serie A runners-up in 1988, UEFA Cup winner and league runner-up in 1989, and Serie A again in 1990.
These titles are not only unprecedentedly unattainable for Napoli, but also unrivalled by other southern Italian teams in their history.
However, this saga ended in 1991, when Maradona was found to be a drug addict and was banned for 15 months. After the ban expired, he was unable to return to Italy due to tax evasion. He left Napoli to join La Liga side Sevilla.
This is the end of the crazy saga between the king of the ball and Napoli.
From there, Maradona's career came to an end, and in 1994 he was again banned for drug use.
Napoli also bogged down after losing Maradona and was even relegated in 2004 due to bankruptcy.
Today's Naples was rebuilt after being bought by Italian film magnate De Laurentiis.
After some ups and downs, this Napoli team is now back in everyone's sight.
Starting with finishing third in Serie A in the 2010-2011 season, Napoli also returned to the big stage of the Champions League.
Now this Napoli team is without Diego Maradona, but the new Napoli wants to surpass the legend's achievements in the Champions League.
At that time, Maradona won the Serie A championship twice in Napoli and participated in the Champions League twice, which was not called the "UEFA Champions League" at that time, but the "European Champions Cup".
And unlike now, when the top teams in the league could participate, the European Champions Cup, which was a true "champion" cup - only the champions of the respective leagues, as well as the defending champions of the Champions League, could participate. And there is no so-called group stage, but a single-round home-and-away elimination system.
After winning the Serie A title in 1986-1987, Napoli competed in the 1987-1988 Champions League, the first time in their club's history. As a result, the aspiring Serie A champions met La Liga overlord Real Madrid in the first round. In the first leg at Real Madrid's home stadium, Maradona did nothing and lost 0:2 away to Real Madrid. After returning to their home stadium, they were unable to return to the sky, and for the first time in history, they participated in the Champions League for the first time and ended their journey with a "round trip".
In 1990, Napoli defeated AC Milan in Serie A to win the title. In the 1990-1991 season, Napoli played in the Champions League for the second time. This time, Napoli met Hungarian side Ujpest in the first round, and in the two-legged home and away match, Maradona sent two goals and an assist, helping the team eliminate the opponent with an aggregate score of 5:0 and enter the second round of the Champions League in history. Then in the quarter-finals, they met Russian powerhouse Spartak Moscow, and the two legs were played without a goal. In the penalty shootout, the Napoli player missed a penalty, and the Champions League journey of the football king came to an end.
Without Maradona, Napoli regained their life in the 2011-2012 season, the third time in their history to participate in the Champions League. This time they performed well, breaking out of the group stage to reach the last 16 of the Champions League and once again reaching the level that Maradona once led Napoli to in the Champions League - the quarter-finals.
This time they came close to surpassing Napoli's best Champions League result set by their predecessors. They beat Chelsea 3-1 at home, which led directly to the sacking of Chelsea boss Villas-Boas. Unfortunately, in the second leg, they were also beaten 3-1 away from home by Chelsea, and the two sides played extra time, in which Chelsea scored another goal to eliminate Napoli with an aggregate score of 5-4.
In the end, Napoli were also unable to surpass the best result of the Maradona era in the Champions League.
And now, after bringing in strong reinforcements, Napoli is starting again. However, this time they were a little unlucky, and they were placed in the group of death......
