Chapter 53 The Bundesliga starts and meets a strong enemy again
On August 8, the new season of the Bundesliga officially kicked off.
I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement by the German Football Association or an unintentional move.
The two teams in the opening game were the two opponents in the Telecom Cup final not long ago, Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen.
This is the second confrontation between the two teams within 20 days, and what is even more unfortunate is that this is the second time Werder Bremen will face Dortmund on the road.
Therefore, after the schedule came out, the team felt very speechless.
"The Football Association really knows how to create gimmicks!"
Seeing Dortmund's media shouting slogans of revenge, their players also stated on social media that they will use 120% of their state to play Werder Bremen and win the game.
This made Werder Bremen feel that they were arranged. Facing Dortmund, who was full of anger and recharged their batteries for 20 days, they really didn't have the confidence to win.
"This is just an ordinary league game, don't think too much, just play well, winning or losing is not that important!"
Coach Scharf stepped forward at the right time to decompress the players.
The league is not a game of the nature of a cup match. In a long season that lasts for a year, winning or losing a game is important, but it is not to the extent that 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 according to the state you usually have in training!"
The old players of the team also stood up one after another and began to comfort the young players.
With the reassurance of the coach and the old players, the tension of the young players has eased a lot.
At 19:30 in the evening, the Werder Bremen players stepped onto the lawn of the Westfalenstadion for the first time in 20 days.
At the same time, in China, thousands of miles away, CCTV is also broadcasting the game live.
As the first five major leagues to obtain broadcasting rights, before CCTV obtained the broadcasting rights of the Premier League and La Liga in the early years, the Bundesliga was the most broadcasted.
At that time, there were still many Chinese players studying abroad here. Later, with the decline of the national football team, fewer and fewer players were studying abroad.
Last year, when Shao Jiayi announced that he would end his study abroad and return to China to play football, there were no Chinese players in the German league.
But in this context, Lin Quan, a player of Chinese origin, turned out to give a shot in the arm to the Bundesliga, which had begun to lose viewers in China, and re-attracted many viewers.
The opening game between Dortmund and Werder Bremen set a new high for CCTV's opening game of the Bundesliga in the past three years.
The commentators are Tao Wei and Duan Xuan.
Many spectators are looking forward to seeing Lin Quan's unrestrained and easy scoring scene on the field.
However, when the starting rosters of the two teams came out, they were dumbfounded!
"What the hell is Werder Bremen doing? Lin Quan didn't make it into the starting lineup?"
"I once wondered if there was something wrong with my eyes, but Lin Quan is indeed not on the starting list!"
"Shadow, this must be shady, it is the discrimination and suppression of us yellow people by Western white people!"
For a while, the posts in the post bar were refreshed quickly, and many people expressed that they could not understand the arrangement of the Werder Bremen coaching staff.
It's not just that they can't understand it, but Dortmund's coach Klopp can't understand it either.
"Shafu gave up resistance?"
"Or, what kind of conspiracy is this old boy playing?"
Klopp, who had been fooled once, became a lot more vigilant this time.
Therefore, he let the team stabilize the opening and not rush to attack, so as not to be attacked by the opponent like last time.
Dortmund's players also had lingering fears about conceding two consecutive goals 5 minutes before the start of the last game, so after the kick-off, they intentionally controlled the rhythm of the game and did not rush to launch an attack.
"Did Dortmund change their tactics today? They played very cautiously. This is not like their usual style!"
Tao Wei and Duan Xuan, CCTV's today's commentators, were both very confused when they saw Dortmund's players falling in the backcourt.
The slow-paced game lasted five or six minutes. It wasn't until Dortmund made sure that the opponent didn't plan to play against them today that they felt relieved and started a full-scale attack!
Facts have proved that without Lin Quan, Werder Bremen has dropped almost a notch in offensive threat.
De Bruyne's performance in this game is still outstanding, he made several threatening passes in the frontcourt.
But the ability of his teammates is limited. His quick passes were either missed or wasted after receiving the ball.
All in all, Werder Bremen has fallen into a passive offensive in the frontcourt and it is difficult to open the situation.
On the other hand, Dortmund, they don't have this problem.
Royce has been perfectly integrated into the team, and his cooperation with Lewandowski in the frontcourt has become smoother and smoother.
In the 11th minute of the game, Royce broke through and scored the ball. Lewandowski received the ball and passed it back to him. The two completed a two-for-two in Werder Bremen's penalty area.
When Royce received the pass from Lewandowski, he had already shaken off the defender and formed a one-handed one.
Faced with such an excellent opportunity, Royce certainly would not waste it. He shot the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.
Although Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Millitz took off in time and touched the football with his fingertips, he failed to save it.
The score became 1:0, and Dortmund, who played at home, took the lead only in the 11th minute of the opening.
After the goal, Reus ran to the corner and kissed the badge on his jersey.
This move drew cheers and applause from the audience. They gradually fell in love with this handsome new guy and forgot Shinji Kagawa who went to England.
Schaff was a little dissatisfied with the team's conceded goals, and he began to shout to the players on the court, telling them to strengthen their fight and not to play so timidly.
After receiving the coach's instructions, the Werder Bremen players increased their confrontational intensity in the next game.
The result of this is that the number of fouls on both sides is increasing.
In the 21st minute of the game, Gundogan, who had been violated many times in the previous game, couldn't bear it anymore. When Werder Bremen defender Igniovski held the ball, he retaliated with a shovel , Shovel the opponent to the ground.
After being shoveled, Igniowski screamed like a pig, rolling back and forth on the ground hugging his legs.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the players of the two teams, and the Werder Bremen players rushed up immediately, surrounding Gundogan in the middle.
And Dortmund's players immediately rushed to protect Gundogan, seeing that the two sides were about to stage a gang fight.
The referee rushed to the scene of the incident immediately, picked up the yellow card and showed Gundogan the yellow card, quelling the riot this time.
However, this did not seem to be able to calm the anger of the players on both sides. In the subsequent games, the action range of both sides became larger and larger.
In the 28th minute, Junuzovic of Werder Bremen tackled Royce and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
Two minutes later, Igniowski also bumped into Lewandowski outside the penalty area and also received a yellow card.
Subsequently, Dortmund's Kyle was not to be outdone, and when he tackled Arnautovic, he showed his studs and was directly shown a yellow card.
The halftime is not over yet, and the players from both sides have received four yellow cards in total. If the two sides continue to play like this, the number of yellow cards in this game may be in double figures.
