On August 24, the new season of the Bundesliga officially kicked off.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the German Football Association or an unintentional move.

The two teams that opened were the two opponents in the Telecom Cup final not long ago, Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen.

This is the second meeting between the two teams in 20 days, and even more unfortunately, it is the second time that Werder Bremen have faced Borussia Dortmund on the road.

Therefore, when the schedule came out, the whole team felt very speechless.

"The Football Association is really going to make gimmicks!"

Seeing that the media on Dortmund's side played the slogan of revenge, their players also stated on social media that they would play Werder Bremen with 120 percent form and win this game.

This made Werder Bremen feel arranged, and in the face of Dortmund, who were full of anger and recuperated for 20 days, they really didn't have much confidence to win.

"It's just an ordinary league, don't think too much, just play well, win or lose is not so important!"

Coach Schaaf stepped up at the right time to relieve the pressure on the players.

The league is not a cup competition, and in a long year-long season, the win or loss of a game is important, but it is not to the extent that it determines life and death.

"That's right, the coach is right, this is just a very ordinary game, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself, just play the game in the same state as you usually train!"

The team's veterans also stepped up and began to comfort the younger players.

With the reassurance of the coaches and the veteran players, the nervousness of the young players has eased a lot.

At 19:30 in the evening, the players of Werder Bremen stepped onto the lawn of the Westphalian Stadium for the first time in 20 days.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in China, CCTV is also broadcasting the game live.

As the first five major leagues to obtain the broadcast rights, in the early years, before CCTV won the broadcast rights of the Premier League and La Liga, the Bundesliga was the most broadcast.

At that time, there were still many Chinese players who stayed here, and later with the decline of the national football team, there were fewer and fewer players staying abroad.

Last year, when Shao Jiayi announced that he would end his stay abroad and return to China to play, there were no Chinese players on the field of the German league.

But in this context, Lin Quan, an Asian player with yellow skin and black glasses, was born, giving a shot in the arm to the Bundesliga, which has begun to lose audiences in China, and re-attracted many audiences.

This opening match between Dortmund and Werder Bremen has set a new high in the ratings of CCTV's opening match of the Bundesliga in the past three years.

And the commentators are Tao Wei and Duan Xuan.

Many viewers are looking forward to seeing Lin Quan dashing and scoring easily on the field.

However, the moment the starting lists of the two teams came out, they were dumbfounded!

"What kind of hammer is Werder Bremen doing, Lin Quan didn't make it to the starting list?"

"I once wondered if there was something wrong with my eyes, but there was really no Lin Quan on the starting list!"

"Shady, this must be shady, it is the discrimination and suppression of Western whites against us yellow people!"

For a while, the posts in the post bar were refreshed quickly, and many people said that they couldn't understand the arrangement of the Werder Bremen coaching staff.

It's not just that they can't read it, but Dortmund's manager Jurgen Klopp can't either.

"Scharaf has given up resistance?"

"Or is this old boy playing some kind of conspiracy?"

Klopp, who had been fooled once, became a lot more vigilant this time.

So, he asked the team to stabilize the opening and not rush to attack, so as not to be attacked by the opponent like last time.

Borussia Dortmund's players were also apprehensive about conceding two goals in the first five minutes of the previous game, so after kick-off, they deliberately controlled the tempo of the game and did not rush to attack.

"Did Borussia Dortmund change their tactics today? They play very cautiously, this is not like their usual style! ”

Seeing that Dortmund's players actually fell in the backfield, CCTV's commentators Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun were both very confused.

The slow-paced game lasted for five or six minutes, and it wasn't until Dortmund was sure that they weren't going to play against them today that they were relieved and started to launch a full-scale attack!

As it turned out, Werder Bremen, without Lin Quan, dropped almost a notch in the attacking threat.

Kevin De Bruyne was still in good form this game, with a couple of dangerous passes up front.

But his teammate's ability is limited, and his second passes are either not received or wasted after receiving the ball.

All in all, Werder Bremen were passive in their attacking side up front and struggled to open up the situation.

Dortmund, on the other hand, they don't have this problem.

Reus has integrated perfectly into the team, and he has become more and more fluid with Lewandowski up front.

In the 11th minute of the game, Reuss broke through and split the ball, Lewandowski received the ball and passed it back to him, and the two completed a two-two in the box of Werder Bremen.

By the time Reus received Lewandowski's pass, he had already gotten rid of the defenders and was on his own.

Reuss certainly didn't waste such a great opportunity as he blasted the ball into the top right corner of the net.

Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Militz couldn't save it, although he jumped in time and touched the ball with his fingertips.

The score became 1-0, and Dortmund, who were playing at home, took the lead in the opening 11 minutes only.

After the goal, Reus ran to the corner and kissed the crest on his shirt.

This move attracted cheers and applause from the audience, who gradually fell in love with this new handsome guy and forgot Shinji Kagawa, who went to England.

Schaff was a little unhappy with the goal he conceded, and he began to shout at the players on the pitch to step up their scrambling and not to be so timid.

After receiving instructions from their coach, Werder Bremen's players increased the intensity of their confrontation in the following matches.

As a result, the number of fouls on both sides increased.

In the 21st minute of the game, Gundogan, who had been violated many times in the previous game, couldn't hold back any longer, and when Werder Bremen's defender Igniowski held the ball, he retaliated and shoveled the opponent to the ground.

After being tackled, Igniovsky let out a pig-killing scream and rolled back and forth on the ground holding his legs.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the players of both teams, and the players of Werder Bremen immediately rushed up and surrounded Gundogan in the middle.

And Dortmund's players also rushed to protect Gundogan, seeing that the two sides were about to stage a group fight.

The referee immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, picked up a yellow card and showed Gundogan a yellow card, quelling the riot.

However, this did not seem to quell the anger of the players on both sides, and the ensuing match saw both sides move more and more.

In the 28th minute, Werder Bremen's Yunuzovic tackled Reuss and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Two minutes later, Igniowski also bumped into Lewandowski on the edge of the box and also received a yellow card.

Subsequently, Dortmund's Kyle was not to be outdone, and when he tackled, he flashed a spike at Arnautovic and was shown a yellow card.

Before the end of the half, the players on both sides have already received four yellow cards combined, and if the two sides continue to play this way, the number of yellow cards in this game will not be a double.
