Chapter 173
Today, Miyuan is no longer the white man who only knew how to charge hard last season. He jumped up directly and avoided Clemens's tackle, and the ball was destroyed out of the sideline.
The opponent defended so hard at the beginning of the game. The intensity of this game is not low, Miyuan thought to himself.
But he was not afraid. There was plenty of time. As long as there was a chance, it was only a matter of time to defeat the opponent.
It was just before the game that Tuchel had implicitly told them to be merciful.
In the first ten minutes of the game, Mainz's defense was still very successful. Miyuan and Aubameyang tried two long shots respectively, both of which hit the defenders and were destroyed out of bounds by the players who followed.
Such reckless behavior is not Miyuan's style. He observed the opponent's defensive formation and looked for the weak links.
In the 12th minute, Mainz's attack was blocked by Castro, who passed the ball to the young player Paslak.
After receiving the ball, the latter quickly pushed forward with the ball, faked past Marler, and passed the ball to Dembele.
After receiving the ball, Dembele burst into speed and dribbled the ball to the bottom line at high speed.
Brozinski chased hard, but his speed was no advantage and he could only tackle Dembele from the side.
The referee Hartmann blew the whistle and showed Brozinski a yellow card directly.
Mainz received the first yellow card of the game.
Dortmund won a free kick on the left side of the penalty area, but unfortunately the position was relatively biased.
Castro lifted the ball to the back point, but the ball was not pressed.
Although Miyuan jumped high, he still couldn't touch the ball.
At that moment, he really wanted to get his hands on it and hit the ball into the goal, but unfortunately he couldn't, and could only watch the ball fly out of the baseline.
Then Mainz launched an attack. When Fry passed the ball to Clemens, the force was too great, and Rod got stuck and escorted the ball out of the sideline.
Schmelzer threw the ball out of bounds. After Bartra received the ball, he made a long pass and passed it directly to the empty space on the right side of the front court.
Mi Yuan instantly accelerated and rushed to the landing point of the football. He unloaded the ball in front of him and saw that Aubameyang and Dembele had already surrounded the front of the penalty area.
He directly lifted the ball to the penalty area with his left foot. At this time, the speed of passing the ball must be fast, otherwise he would miss the opportunity.
Aubameyang deserved to have a full understanding with him. When he saw the ball flying into the penalty area, he rushed up quickly. When the ball arrived, he swung his right leg and kicked the ball towards the goal. Mainz defender Leon was half a beat slower. When he flew over to clear the ball, Aubameyang just retracted his legs and narrowly avoided the opponent's studs with his toes.
Mi Yuan was also shocked by this scene, but when he saw the football fly into the net, he ran directly to Aubameyang to celebrate the goal.
Dortmund scored first, and the Dortmund fans in the stadium were boiling. There were more than 80,000 fans present today.
When the football fell into the net, the referee's whistle could no longer be heard on the court.
The shouts of tens of thousands of fans celebrating almost overturned the entire stadium, and the scorching sun baked the enthusiasm of the fans.
After the players hugged and celebrated on the sidelines, the game soon resumed.
Mainz, who was behind, directly launched a counterattack, and Dortmund retreated to the half-court to defend.
The strength gap between the two teams this season is still very large. No matter how Mainz attacked, they could not break through Dortmund's defense.
However, Mainz did not have no chance at all. Onisiwo's long shot outside the penalty area was saved by Burki, and Schmelzer broke the ball out of the sideline.
Then Malle made a cross from the bottom, and Fry followed up with a shot, which was confiscated by Burki.
Both shots were wonderful, but unfortunately Burki has grown up now, taking over Weidenfeller's banner and stabilizing the position of the main goalkeeper.
Even though Mainz's attack was lively, it did not have much possession of the ball. This was the case when Dortmund did not try its best. After all, the three players in the frontcourt did not come back to defend and walked around the center circle.
The temperature was really too high, and from time to time, some players would take water to pour on their heads when they were free.
Mainz's offensive looked very fierce, but the rhythm of the game was firmly controlled by Dortmund. They only had the upper hand, but failed to make threatening shots.
When the boring game reached the 31st minute, the game was suspended and the players of both sides went to the sidelines to replenish water.
After replenishing water, Dortmund players seemed to have finally regained their vitality and began to tentatively reorganize the attack. After replenishing water, Dortmund suddenly accelerated the pace. Mainz could not keep up with the rhythm for a while, and looked very embarrassed when defending.
After Dembele got the ball, he looked up and looked around, then pushed the ball to the middle and passed it to Rod who was advancing.
After Rod got the ball, he dribbled past the Mainz player and passed the ball directly to Miyuan.
Donati, who was back to defense, saw Miyuan approaching him with the ball, and subconsciously approached him while calling his teammates to help defend and tried to block Miyuan.
At the same time, the defensive midfielder Gbamin also came up to block, and Zelda also quickly returned to defense to form a three-man double team.
A season has passed, and all teams have analyzed Miyuan. Before, Bayern's Lahm could defend Miyuan, but now Lahm is in front of Miyuan and has no advantage.
To defend Miyuan, you either have to foul or have multiple people double-team him.
Miyuan rested for nearly 20 minutes. He was in good condition at this time. He analyzed the situation on the field before receiving the ball.
Although that mysterious feeling did not appear, Miyuan was still very confident in breaking through Donati and Gbamin's blockade.
When the two forced him to the sideline, he slowed down, lifted the ball forward slightly, and the football jumped high and passed between the two.
He accelerated from the tall and strong Gbamin and wiped past him.
He just observed that Gbamin's turning speed was relatively slow, and it was easier to break through from Gbamin's side than from the flexible Donati's side.
After easily breaking through, he dribbled the ball with his right foot and cut into the penalty area.
Seeing Mi Yuan rushing towards the penalty area, goalkeeper Lesl immediately moved to block the angle of his shot.
Zelda, who caught up with him, also hurriedly stretched out his feet to try to intercept Mi Yuan's pass.
Mi Yuan had already seen Zelda sticking to him from the corner of his eye. Before his swinging calf touched the football, his ankle shook and sent a straight pass to Aubameyang and Dembele who were inserted in the middle.
Before Aubameyang touched the ball, he directly passed the ball to Dembele who was inserted on the side.
Dembele followed up and volleyed the ball, and the ball hit the goal post with a bang and flew out of the bottom line.
Dembele looked at Mi Yuan and Aubameyang with a face full of grievance. He felt very sad that the ball didn't go in.
Aubameyang stepped forward and patted him and comforted him. Mi Yuan also gave him a thumbs up from a distance to encourage him.
No one can guarantee that a shot while running can hit 100%, so it's hard not to score in a football match.
Although the ball did not go in, the Dortmund fans at the scene still burst into warm cheers.
