Chapter 23 Hummels

At 7:45 p.m., the game officially began. CCTV's football commentator Duan Xuan is introducing the game to the audience in front of the TV: "Dear viewers, now we are broadcasting the third round of Group D of the UEFA Champions League group stage this season. The two sides are the defending champion Gosho and the runner-up of last season's Bundesliga Dotmund. Germany, this game was held at the Thunder Stadium, the home of Gosho.

"We can clearly see from the TV screen that the Wind and Thunder Stadium, which can accommodate 52,000 people, is now full. Most of the fans in the stands are fans of the Gosho team. They are all wearing the traditional blue jerseys of the Gosho team. About 2,000 Dortmund fans came, wearing the traditional yellow and black jerseys of Dortmund. The fans waved all kinds of flags and slogans and sang songs to cheer for their home team. Although it was drizzling and the weather was very cold, the enthusiasm of the fans did not diminish at all.

"These two teams are the first confrontation in history. There is no need to introduce Gosho. They have been one of the most eye-catching teams in Europe in the past few seasons. They have won two consecutive championships in the Champions League, and everyone is already very familiar with them. Dortmund is also a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga, and they have also won in history. In a European Cup, that was in 1997, they defeated Juventus in the final. Therefore, the collision between the two teams must be very wonderful.

"Today's home team Gosho's appearance lineup is goalkeeper cecarelli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Sampedero, central defender Salihovic and Chevali, midfielder Antunović, and Ivanovic in front of him. Now he is basically a midfield freeman in Goshao. Coach Lin Fenglei is not Limiting his position, left winger Avanzini, right winger Hollensten, and the two strikers are the combination of Egman and Esposito. In this starting lineup, Gugleman and Kauddinho both suffered minor injuries in the national team game and failed to play.

The starting lineup of the visiting team Dortmund is like this: goalkeeper Weidenfeller, left-back Schmelzer, right-back Pishcek, central defender is a combination of Hummels and Subotic, the double midfielder is Gündogan and Shahin, and in front of them are Royce, Götze and Blashkovsky, at the top of the front line. It's Siebel. This is also the main lineup of Dortmund at present.

"The referee on duty is the French referee Brue. He is asking the captains of the two teams to guess the edge of the coin. The result of guessing the coin is that the captain of the Gosau team won. He chose to kick off first, while Dortmund chose to attack from right to left in the first half. With Brue's whistle, the game officially began.

Lin Fenglei shook hands with Klopp before the game, greeted each other, and then returned to the coach's seat. In fact, he still has a good impression on the straightforward Klopp. Klopp is also a head coach known for training young players. Now Dortmund's average age is also very young, but like Gosho, he has achieved good results. It can be said that this is a youth duel.

It was raining in the sky, but it was not heavy, just a drizzle, but the temperature was a little low. Lin Fenglei sat in the coach's seat in a windbreaker and watched the game attentively.

Since the two teams played against each other for the first time in history, the two teams had a brief test after the start of the game. After the test, Gosho began to attack. Borussia Dortmund is playing away from home today, and they are facing the defending champion, so their formation is more defensive. They will only invest at most two to three players in the front court, and all of them will retreat as soon as they lose the ball.

Due to the light rain, the field is relatively slippery, and Dortmund's defense is also fierce, so I often see the players on both sides falling to the ground, and the game is also very unsmooth.

In the 5th minute, Ivanovic divided the ball to Avanzini on the left in the backcourt. Captain Gosho carried the ball at high speed. He made a bicycle step. After shaking Blashkovsky, he was about to accelerate forward, but he slipped under his feet and fell on the ground. Burashczkowski wanted to take the opportunity to serve the ball. He fought back, but he kicked hard under his feet and slipped on the ground. The funny appearance of the two made the fans in the stands laugh for a while.

Avazzini stood up from the ground with some embarrassment and rubbed his buttocks, which made the Gosho fans laugh again. Captain Goshao usually doesn't smile, and the captain is full of style. Now it's easy to have a look of embarrassment. Of course, the fans should seize the opportunity to laugh at him. Avazzini also knew that the fans' laughter was more kind, so he was not angry and ran back to his position.

In the 8th minute, someone fell down again on the court. This time, he was hit by Gosho's right-back Sampedero. When he inserted an assist, he also slipped when he accelerated and fell heavily on the ground, which also attracted a burst of laughter from the fans.

After several slips, the Gosho players took the initiative to adjust the way they played. They passed more and reduced the dribble. In this way, the scene where they slipped to the ground was greatly reduced, and the scene of the game was also better.

At the beginning of the game, Egman did not get any better opportunities because of his teammates' mistakes, but Dortmund's central defender Hummels still stared at Egman like a big enemy. Hummels is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He is about the same height and weight as Egman. He has always thought that his strength is very strong, but in several collisions with Egman, he found that his strength was still not enough compared with Egman.

When Hummels was with Egman several times, Egman easily squeezed Hummels away. It seemed that he had not done his best. Hummels was not convinced and tried his best to squeeze Egman, but he couldn't squeeze it. Only then did he know that the Golden Globe winner was not a false reputation, at least in the power. In terms of weight, he is the top.

Hummels then took out his unprecedented focus in the game and focused all his defensive attention on Egman.

In the 13th minute of the game, Egman got the ball for the first time in this game. He withdrew from the penalty area and stopped Ivanovic's long backcourt pass with his chest. Then, without waiting for the ball to land, he turned around and volleyed in the air. The ball roared and flew to the goal. Dortmund's goalkeeper Weiden Ferrer hit the shot. The goal did not respond. Fortunately, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, but it also scared Weidenfeller into a cold sweat.

In the process of Egman's action just now, Hummels has been pushing him behind Egman. The action is very hidden, but the force used is not small, but Egman does not move at all. Hummels feels like he is pushing an iron pillar. Egman's shot also shocked Hummels in a cold sweat. If this goal is scored, he will bear the primary responsibility.

Hummels couldn't help looking at Klopp on the sidelines. Sure enough, Klopp looked at this side with a bad face. Hummels withdrew his eyes with some modesty and followed up with Egman, who was waiting for Weidenfeller to kick off the goal. He was fierce in his heart. Next time if Egman gets such a ball again, even if he It's to stop Egman with a foul action. He can't get a chance to shoot so easily.

In the 18th minute, Egman received Avanzini's cross pass at the front of the penalty area again. When he turned around and wanted to break through Hummels, Hummels used a standard hug and fall in a hurry, but even if he used his full strength to hug and fall, it only made Egman hit. It stagged, but the ball left Egman's control and was kicked out of danger by Subotic's big foot.

Referee Brue fouled Hummels, but he showed mercy and did not show a yellow card. Ribeiro came forward to take the free kick. He shot directly. The ball bypassed the wall and ran straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Just when everyone thought that the ball was going to enter the goal, the ball hit the edge of the crossbar and popped up the bottom line.
