429 Dream Start
The German Super Cup is coming, but Klopp puts Tang Hong, Reus and Mkhitaryan on the bench.
New aid Adrian Ramos and return Shinji Kagawa became the starters, and Aubameyang also made the starter.
Bayern Munich led by Guardiola for a summer and led the team to Dortmund's home court, West* Stadium, obviously hoping to beat the prestige of the defending champion here.
The upcoming new season is a bit special for Dortmund and Tang Hong.
First, they will compete in the Club World Cup at the end of the year, and then in January next year, Tang Hong and Shinji Kagawa will return to Asia to compete in the Asian Cup, which may become a variable on the road to defending the title in the Dortmund League.
Klopp did not want to overdraw Tang Hong, so he would still take some irrelevant games.
I thought that two main players, Dortmund, would be very passive at home, but Bayern Munich did not show such a good competitive state at West* Stadium.
After all, German players like Ram, Schweinsteiger, Boateng, Neuer and others competed all the way to the finals and won the cup smoothly. There is relatively little time to rest and prepare for the summer.
In addition to Hummels, Dortmund's starting lineup, Weidenfeller, Gundogan and Sven Bend were with the German team as spectators until the end of the World Cup.
The overall state is not greatly affected.
Bayern Munich still has the advantage in the field at West** Stadium, but he still seems panicked when facing Dortmund's premeditated counterattack.
Adrian Ramos and Aubameyang flew together, while Shinji Kagawa and Shahin kept sending straight passes in the middle and backcourt to try to threaten Bayern Munich's defense.
Although not every time can create a threatening shot, seizing one opportunity is a fatal murderous intent.
Before the end of the first half, Aubameyang received Ramos' cross and headed the ball in the counterattack!
The scene of him playing Spider-Man celebrating further increased the atmosphere.
Guardiola was a little embarrassed and angry at the team's backwardness in the half.
In the second half, Bayern Munich's offensive was even more like a wolf, but Dortmund should have played with Bayern Munich and allowed Bayern Munich to control the ball on the outside. They shrank their defense line and remained unmoved, and patiently sought opportunities to counterattack.
Until the 80th minute of the game, Bayern Munich was weak in strength and Dortmund suddenly attacked. The team's continuous fast breaks made Bayern Munich's defense unable to withstand it. Mandzukic responded to Shahin's wonderful pass and shot in the penalty area to score and stage a good show of killing the old master.
Dortmund eventually defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 at home to defend the German Super Cup.
This result surprised the outside world. Many people believe that after the failure of last season, Bayern Munich will definitely make a comeback in the new season. Although the German Super Cup is not important and optional, Bayern Munich must psychologically reverse the disadvantage of fighting against Dortmund, so even in a friendly match, they must do their best to win!
Bayern Munich worked very hard in the game, but unfortunately the team seemed to be used to the situation where they were in a position to win but not score.
Lewandowski did not make a appearance in this game, and Bayern Munich's forward did not show the greatest threat.
But just as Dortmund also hid two main players, there is no excuse for Bayern Munich's defeat.
Dortmund won the European Super Cup and the German Super Cup before the new season officially began, giving the team a high morale to usher in the new season!
In terms of the odds of winning the Bundesliga in the new season offered by the bookmaker, Dortmund surpassed Bayern Munich and became the biggest favorite!
When German media looks forward to the new season and pre-season tours of various teams, most voices are questioning whether Guardiola can lead Bayern Munich to overthrow Dortmund's rule!
If you don’t look at the championship, only the win, draw and lose, Guardiola led the team last season to close to the gods, including the record of winning streaks in the Bundesliga.
But in the end, he only won two runner-ups, and the results of the Champions League semi-finals are quite meaningful: "Why do you have a good luck when you have a good luck?"
In the opening match of the new season, defending champion Dortmund faced the challenge of Leverkusen at West** Stadium.
As Leverkusen's main winger, Son Heung-min looked at Tang Hong's back in the player channel and thoughtfully. When he tried to chase Tang Hong, he found that the gap between the two seemed to be getting bigger and bigger!
When they met for the second time last season, Tang Hong had not been crowned the Bundesliga championship at least, nor had he won the Champions League for the second time.
But now, Tang Hong, who has become a popular candidate for the Golden Ball Awards this year, holds two Champions League champions, one UEFA Cup champion, the top league best scorer, best player, European Golden Boot Award and other awards for three consecutive years. Tang Hong's height is hard to reach for Asian players. There are only two stars on this planet who can be on the same level as him, one plays for Real Madrid and the other plays for Barcelona.
Only when the gap is close will the followers be more motivated.
The far gap will only make the pursuers behind you feel desperate!
Son Heung-min now has some despair, and he irresistible to have the idea that he will never catch up with Tang Hong in this life.
But he quickly swept away this idea.
He is still young, and Tang Hong is still young. No one can predict what changes will happen in their respective journeys in the next ten years.
The West** stadium was hustle and bustle. When Leverkusen took the lead in the away game, Dortmund unexpectedly, his opponent passed by only three feet and then Son Heung-min gave an assist on the side. Another winger, Bellarabi, crossed the ball in the penalty area and sent the ball into Dortmund's goal!
It seemed that the referee's whistle was still echoing in his ears, and the ball entered!
Bellabia set the fastest goal scorer in the Bundesliga and completed a goal against Dortmund in just 9 seconds!
The Dortmund players were quite caught off guard, and Klopp looked serious on the sidelines. This was not a good start.
Did Dortmund relax? Careless?
Or is it just that Leverkusen's lightning fast break had an unparalleled efficiency at that moment?
Leverkusen's fantastic start was really unexpected by them.
But since you are already ahead of the score, you should maintain the advantage as much as possible!
Dortmund kicked off and the crazy attack swept away!
After the success of last season, Dortmund's midfield operation became more efficient and tacit. Even though he knew that his opponent would focus on blocking Tang Hong, the team still made Leverkusen's defense tremble through dazzling quick passes and cuts.
Tang Hong's long shot outside the penalty area, Mandzukic's steal in the penalty area, Reus's surprise attack on the right, Mkhitaryan's back insertion from time to time, and Dortmund actually paid more attention to creating opportunities for Tang Hong under the seemingly coordinated offensive.
Leverkusen made a difficult counterattack attack. Son Heung-min performed well, but there was less support in the counterattack, and the individual soldiers still lacked the opportunity to advance. Some of the obvious good opportunities ultimately failed to turn into a fatal blow due to one or another problems.
In the 24th minute of the game, Dortmund's continuous attacks were blocked by the opponent. It was the third fast attack in a short period of time. Gundogan passed the ball diagonally to the side. Schmelzer quickly sent the ball to the side and received the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Tang Hong took the ball and waved the ball inside, but pulled the ball across the crossbar while shaking the bicycle. After getting rid of the defense, he shot a heavy cannon with his right foot. The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal!
Unlike his former favorite to hit the inside of his right foot and shoot the arc, this long shot was simply powerful and powerful, and it did a miracle!
People remember that the German team brutally massacred the host Brazil team in the Brazil World Cup, remember that the German team won Argentina back to the top of the world after 24 years, and remember that Messi missed the Hercules Cup and conceded the crown of the crown.
Not many people still remember the scene where Tang Hong hit the goal post and missed the final shot in the group stage.
But Tang Hong will not forget that when he recalled it thousands of times, he would be unable to help but assume that if he shot directly, the result might be different.
He has not given up on the habit of shooting tricks, but he needs to try more direct shots by himself. After repeated training, the technical circuit will allow him to instinctively take the best way when facing different opportunities.
Sometimes simple and crude is the purest aesthetic of football.
The deafening cheers sounded at the West** Stadium. Tang Hong's signature celebration move, and after taking off, he jumped up the uppercut in the air, which caused the audience to sniff out "hong!" "hong!"
It seems like the earth is shaking!
The scene was extremely shocking.
Dortmund's offensive became more vigorous after equalizing the score.
The fast running, passing and cutting cooperation of the frontcourt attack group and the oppression of counter-attack made the whole team run in the midfield and backcourt.
When Mandzukic missed a chance to head the ball from a close distance in front of the goal, Leverkusen suddenly launched a fast attack.
Piszczek hurried back to defense, but unexpectedly, Son Heung-min, who was running, stopped and dribbled back, causing him to lose. Then Son Heung-min transferred the offensive, and Bellarabi rushed into the right and sent a cross.
Kislin made a roundabout way and stopped and got rid of Hummels, then shot through Weidenfell's ten fingers.
Leverkusen leads Dortmund 2:1 away!
Klopp couldn't help but smile bitterly on the sidelines.
The situation in the new season seems to be somewhat similar to last season.
If Dortmund adopts defensive counterattack tactics in strong dialogues, almost no team can stop their counterattack.
But on the other hand, except for facing the top opponents, Dortmund will not be able to play defensive counterattacks against other teams, either first-tier or mid- and lower-level teams. At this time, Dortmund will be very passive to deal with the opponent's counterattack attack.
As long as the opponent can play a speed advantage in long-term advancement, it is likely that the Dortmund defense line will suffer from joint defense breaks during full retreat.
This is not a new situation. It is hard to say that Barcelona, facing counterattack experts at the peak, kills their opponents' counterattack every time.
The limit of defense can never guarantee zero goals conceded in every game!
But the limit of the offense may be that there are more goals than the opponent.
Therefore, in this context, what tests Dortmund is not defense. As long as the defense is not given heads for no reason, it is acceptable.
All that is tested is Dortmund's attack.
Klopp hopes that the team can do better, and he also starts his new "cultivation" as the head coach.
Chapter completed!
