Chapter 175
After Dortmund adjusted its tactics in the second half, the offensive line played more and more smoothly, but unfortunately no effective goal was scored.
Mainz was eager to equalize the score, and the offense was mainly concentrated in the middle, and the two wings gave Dortmund more room to play.
Every time Dortmund attacked, they seemed very passive.
Mainz's head coach Martin Schmidt finally began to deploy troops and replaced striker Oztunali to strengthen the offensive on the front line.
After the substitution, Mainz's formation changed to a 442 formation, with two forwards rushing to the front court, and the offense became more active.
After a round of attack, it was resolved by Dortmund's defense and returned without success.
Young player Paslack ran all over the field in the high temperature, and his physical fitness dropped sharply. Tuchel sent veteran Piszczek to the court and replaced Paslack.
After veteran Piszczek came on the court, the defense line became more stable, and Mainz's offense was constantly blocked. Head coach Martin made another substitution.
Clemens was replaced by striker Muto, and the formation changed to 433 again, and it was bound to equalize the score.���After this substitution, Mainz's frontcourt attack blossomed from all three points, and they began to attack the front of Dortmund's penalty area.
Five minutes later, Rode broke the ball out of the baseline while defending, and consumed the last of his physical strength.
Tuchel decisively used up the last substitution quota and replaced Rode with Guerrero.
Guerrero is not very tall, but his personal ability is more comprehensive than Rode. Tuchel took advantage of his ability to protect the ball, control the ball and intercept. At the last moment, Dortmund must defend the three points.
Mainz coach also replaced Malle with De Blasis. The small De Blasis has a strong passing ability. Martin hopes that he can make a key pass to help the team reverse the situation.
After both sides used up the last substitution quota in the 86th minute, the rest of the time could only depend on the performance of the players on the field. After the substitution, Mainz took a corner kick, and Oztunali jumped high to compete for the header, but did not touch the ball.
The football flew past the goal and flew directly out of the baseline.
Burki sent the goal kick to Piszczek, who advanced with the ball and moved the entire back line forward, looking for an attacking opportunity.
After Piszczek dribbled the ball to the midfield, he observed that the Mainz players were all approaching the right side. He pretended to dribble the ball to break through the midfield, but actually kicked a long pass and transferred the ball to the empty space on the right side of the front penalty area.
Mi Yuan understood and rushed forward at high speed. He unloaded the ball with the outside of his foot and cut directly into the penalty area with the ball.
When Mainz striker Onisiwo saw Mi Yuan starting near the center circle, he also started to return to defense instantly.
At the same time, Mainz's defenders also returned to defense. Mi Yuan made an emergency stop to get rid of Donati's block.
He quickly touched the ball with two feet and rushed directly to the front of the penalty area. Leon and Gbamin double-teamed him. Mi Yuan picked up the ball and rushed out directly from the gap between the two.
He headed the ball lightly, unloaded the ball in front of him, and cut directly into the penalty area with a right foot.
At this time, Onisiwo also rushed back. In a panic, he stretched his foot from behind and touched the ball from Miyuan's crotch.
When Miyuan forced his way through the double-team of Leon and Gbamin, his center of gravity was somewhat unstable. Onisiwo kicked from behind, causing Miyuan to lose his center of gravity and fall directly into the penalty area.
After falling to the ground, Miyuan was about to get up to protect the ball, but the referee Hartman blew the whistle, pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation, and showed Onisiwo a yellow card.
Onisiwo stepped forward to explain, but Hartman shook his head and upheld the original decision.
Aubameyang, the first penalty taker of Dortmund, threw the ball to Miyuan, signaling him to take the penalty.
Miyuan threw the ball back, shook his head, and said with a smile:"Don't waste the chance to score twice."
Aubameyang gave Miyuan a thumbs up and walked to the penalty spot with the ball.
The referee blew the whistle, Aubameyang took a run-up, paused before kicking the ball, successfully deceived goalkeeper Lossl, and easily pushed the ball in the opposite direction.
The score was rewritten as 2:0. After scoring the goal, Aubameyang rushed to the sidelines and did a handsome backflip to celebrate.
The Dortmund fans at the scene also shouted excitedly. They only had the last three minutes to win this victory, which still included the injury time.
There were only three minutes left for Mainz, and they could only complete one attack at most.
After the Dortmund players finished celebrating, the players of both sides returned to their positions. Mainz kicked the ball out and organized the last attack.
Mainz passed the ball in the backcourt, and all the Dortmund players returned to the half court to defend their attack this time.
Under Dortmund's airtight defense, Mainz tried several times but failed to break through the opponent's midfield.
As the time left was getting less and less, De Blasis tried to break through after getting the ball but failed, and directly chose to pick the ball behind Dortmund.
Muto rushed up quickly, but did not touch the ball when competing with Schmelzer for the header.
Schmelzer headed the ball to Papastathopoulos, who protected the ball and quickly pushed forward with the ball.
At this time, the referee Hartmann blew the whistle to end the game. Dortmund won the first game and got off to a good start.
The Dortmund fans on the field sang the war song in unison, and the players also lined up to go to the stands to thank the fans.
Yonemoto was named the best player of the game, and Aubameyang temporarily topped the scorer list with two goals.
Lu:"Friends, Dortmund has won its first victory. I wonder if they will break the winning streak of last season in the new season."
Shi:"Now that you say that, I am also looking forward to it. Dortmund's current situation looks good!"
Lu:"Yes! There will be a small award ceremony after the game. Let's continue to focus on the field together."
Grindel, the chairman of the Football Association, appeared in the camera, and he will present the individual awards of last season.
The Professional Football Association selected the best players of the last season: Best Player: Aubameyang; Best Newcomer: Yvonne Mundo; Best Coach: Tuchel.
The President of the Football Association, Grindel, presented the small trophies to the three people in the comprehensive interview area. The Dortmund fans were very excited at the award ceremony, screaming and shouting, sending the best wishes to the winners.
Lu:"Let's congratulate Yvonne Mundo for winning the Best Newcomer Award last season!"
Shi:"Congratulations to Tuchel and Aubameyang too! Although Dortmund did not win the salad bowl last season, these three trophies are also the best testimony to their performance last season."
Lu:"That's right, the live broadcast is about to end here. Let's look forward to Dortmund's second round of games after the international match day!"
Shi:"Good night, friends!"
Lu Ming and Shi Qing finished their live broadcast work. After the brief award ceremony on the court, reporters surrounded them.
They would not miss this opportunity for an interview. As soon as Grindel left, they surrounded the three people and held out the microphone.
