As the home stadium of Mainz, Opel Arena can accommodate 34,034 spectators and was officially put into use on July 3, 2011.

It is a very modern stadium!

Since being promoted to the Bundesliga five years ago, Mainz has unexpectedly gained a foothold here!

At the same time, the coaching of Tuchel and Klopp has also given the club a legendary atmosphere.

The next day, the sky gradually darkened.

The fans at the scene were already full!

Mainz fans were mainly red, and Dortmund fans were mainly yellow, with each side occupying half of the stadium.

Andy walked into the stadium with his teammates and coaching staff.

He was surprised that there were so many Dortmund fans here!

Although the two cities are not far apart, how did Dortmund fans get tickets?

...

"Welcome to watch the 9th round of the Bundesliga, Mainz vs. Dortmund, brought to you by PP Sports."

"In the first 8 rounds, Dortmund has 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 17 points, ranking 2nd in the standings."

There are still many active fans in the live broadcast room.

During this period of time, the attention of the Bundesliga in China has risen sharply!

Especially for the Dortmund club, the number of fans has increased exponentially!

This also made CEO Watzke and sports manager Zorc speak very tough at the shareholders' meeting!

[Brothers, can Andy play in this game? ! ]

[If he can play, he can play. I hope you don't force him. After all, he is only 18 years old. It's good to have playing time. ]

[If he is really a genius, he must be starting now. Look at those players of the same age in Europe who can start! ]

[No, bro, do you watch football? Have you seen any Asian player who can start in the first team of a big club at the age of 18? ! ]

[Shinji Kagawa, Yoshinori Muto... When will the Chinese national football team have one! Even a substitute is fine! ]

[Oh~! I stay up late at my age just to watch Andy. ]

[No, I want to see my ex-girlfriend...]

...

"Beep~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

A whistle sounded!

The game officially started!

The players on both sides immediately got into the game!

After Dortmund kicked off, the Mainz players instantly formed a full-court press!

Andy was stunned on the sidelines!

The intensity at the beginning was higher than that of Bayern...

Facing the backcourt pressure, Hummels kicked the ball forward!

Mkhitaryan fell down and swept the ball to the middle!

Reus received the ball horizontally!

Then he knocked it back to Ginter who came in from behind!

The latter entered the penalty area! !

At the critical moment!

Mainz midfielder Omgartlinger chased back to intercept!

Sliding tackle after full sprint!

Tackle Ginter on the penalty area line!

"Beep~!!!"

The referee immediately stopped the game!

"Oh~! Baumgartlinger fouled this ball! Ginter seems to be injured!"

"The referee gave a penalty!!!"

"Dortmund got a penalty just one minute after the start!"

"But Ginter seems to be seriously injured..."

...

In the penalty area, Mainz and Dortmund players surrounded the referee.

Ginter covered his knees and put on a mask of pain...

The team doctor rushed into the field!

Tuchel, who was on the sidelines, came to the bench as soon as possible!

He hesitated between Piszczek and Andy for 10 seconds, then looked at Andy!

"Change clothes! Quick!"

Andy looked up and pointed at his face...

"Me?"

The next second, Tuchel's hand had already patted his shoulder!

The opportunity came and it couldn't be stopped!

Piszczek and Ginter both participated in the national team.With the game...

Andy is currently the best choice!

Moreover, Tuchel also wants to take this opportunity to see Andy's performance as a right back.

When the dominant foot is the left foot, what kind of game can be played without relying on the right foot to cross!

"Oh?! Andy is on the sidelines!"

"Is he going to play? This is a dramatic start!"

"Our player Andy is about to come on the bench... It is very rare to be a substitute two minutes into the game!"

"I hope Ginter's problem is not big..."

...

Ginter was carried out of the stadium on a stretcher. In addition to the pain, there was also unwillingness in his eyes!

Andy gave him a firm look when he passed by him.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of everything!"

Andy ran to Mainz's half under the gaze of all the fans!

In the penalty area, Reus stood in front of the penalty spot!

Boos were heard everywhere!

Especially behind the goal in this half, there were loyal fans of Mainz!

Goalkeeper Karius was calm in the penalty area, jumping up and down and left and right...

A whistle sounded!

Reus moved!

He circled half a circle in front of the penalty spot and kicked the ball with his right foot!

Karius stretched his whole body in front of the goal and flew to save the ball!

"Shoot! The ball was saved again!"

"Why do you say it was saved again? That's because Karius has saved three penalties this season!"

"This is a goalkeeper who is very good at saving penalties!"

...

[Scared to death! I bet on 0:0, and the sky fell when the penalty was awarded just now! ]

[Aubameyang and Reus have a really good relationship, and they gave up the opportunity to break the record! ? ]

[Reus didn't play well under Tuchel, and his current season comprehensive score is only 6.8! ]

[Andy is on! I didn't expect this kid to be able to play both ways! ]

[We have to continue to observe whether it is a mule or a horse, and we may not know what's going on. ]

[My favorite manager is Karius, with a good model and high potential! ]

...

When the dream start turns into a bubble, the opponent's morale will definitely be greatly improved!

Mainz's attack is not particularly sharp, but the counterattack is very well executed!

In the 8th minute, Park Zhuhao faced a press and passed the ball back to Hummels who was also trapped.

The latter could only pass the ball forward without stopping!

In the end, Mkhitaryan was intercepted by the opponent before retreating to meet the ball!

The intercepted ball was rushed all the way to the Dortmund penalty area!

Mkhitaryan chased closely and pulled the opponent to the ground in front of the penalty area!

The referee decisively showed a yellow card!

And gave a free kick one meter in front of the penalty area line!

Andy in the distance was willing but unable to do anything...

I haven't touched the ball once!

Why is the game in full swing over there? !
