[Football] Crown of Thorns

Then, Gama discovered that the second official game of the Dortmund club in the new season is still not the league, but the Europa League play-off schedule.

According to Dortmund's league points last season, the Dortmund team participating in the Europa League will start from the fourth round of qualifying for the play-offs. As long as they win this game, they will be eligible to enter the next round of the group stage.

"But where is this football club called Qarabag?"

Because the qualifying match is on August 8th, and three days later, on the 19nd, they will face the first game of the league. Therefore, this game must be won but the main force cannot be played. They all muttered.

"Qarabag Football Club is from Azerbaijan."

Captain Kyle answered the doubts of his teammates with a smile.

"Azerbaijan?"

"What's that place?"

Many players showed blank expressions - don't blame them for not knowing, for small countries that live far away from them, most players will not remember unless they are the kind of students who have studied well in school Anyway, if something happens, the club, the coaches, or the agents or assistants will help them pay attention to these issues.

Gama knew this country well, but he really didn't expect to play against a team from that distant place. Although this is a team from a European country, they are closer to Asia, aren't they?

"Okay, don't worry about this, we are home for this game, everyone, come on!"

As the captain, Kyle encourages his teammates, and they all pay more attention to the league opener in their hearts.

"But what I want to emphasize is," coach Klopp looked at the boys in front of him, the youthful young people are very energetic, "Football is round, for any opponent..."

"Don't underestimate it, go all out!"

The boys shouted.

"very good!"

Knocking on the board in his hand, Klopp smiled and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The Signal Iduna Park (Signal Iduna Park), which has been silent for a long time, is once again lively. The team's home stadium can accommodate 2005 people including seats and standing seats in the domestic league, and can accommodate 12 people in full seats when the international game is held. It is the largest stadium in Germany.

Except for the warm-up match against Manchester City last time, the fans of the home team who have survived Xiaxie can finally cheer for their beloved team on their home court, so the flags and slogans spread all over the stadium and the clubs painted Just like that, the macho and beautiful women with the logo broke into the eyes of Jia Ma who came out to warm up in a yellow and black color.

"What a frenzy!"

Looking around the stadium, Gama muttered.

"Are you nervous?"

Captain Kyle asked, putting his arm around Gama's shoulder.

"Fortunately."

Gama smiled.

"Our fans are the best fans."

Kyle looked proud.

Jia Ma laughed again, "It's not bad."

Chatted casually with the captain, waited for the group to warm up and returned to the locker room, Gama packed his equipment, turned his head and saw the rookie who also started the game with him——Shinji Kagawa from Japan, and There is Piszczek from Poland.

It seems that although he said that he should pay attention to his opponents, the coach still puts the inspection of newcomers in the first place.

In the last DFB Cup game, Shinji Kagawa started the game. As the same midfielder, Gama still feels a little envious of him after thinking about it!

As the time came, the Dortmund players who played at home wore yellow-bottomed jerseys and led the ball boys into the stadium with their opponents.

There were thunderous cheers in the stadium.

The images of the players scrolled on the screen, and the live DJ kept shouting to arouse the enthusiasm of the fans.

Azerbaijan starting lineup:

1-Veliev, 2-Andreoli, 3-Campagnaro, 4-Vidic, 6-Mbaye, 8-Obi, 10-Korsin, 17-Mwe pull,

7-Osvaldo, 9-Bonazoli, 11-Baldini.

Compared with Dortmund's lineup, which defeated Burghausen in the German Cup last game, the starting lineup of this game has changed: the newly joined Polish Piszczek replaced Owo Moyela as the right back. Ma also started, as did Lewandowski, another Polish player.

Dortmund starting lineup:

1-Weidenfeller, 2-Sobiech, 5-Kel, 26-Pishcheck, 29 Schmelzer, 8-Gama, 22-Bender, 23-Kagawa Shinji,

7-Lewandowski, 10-Zidan, 19 Gross Kreutz.

"Mr. Klopp's formation today is an offensive formation!"

"There are a lot of newcomers, and more importantly the average age of the players on the field is really young."

"Haha, it is said that Mr. Klopp has been creating a youth storm in the past two years, and it does seem a bit~~"

In the home commentary room, the commentators happily chatted about all kinds of gossip about the home team, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

No matter how you look at it, in terms of strength, the Qarabag team should not cause too much trouble for the Dortmund team.

Game start.

It can be seen that the Qarabag team's formation seems to be 433, but it is actually a defensive formation.

"Mr. Vogts looked wary of the game..."

"The Qarabag team plays conservatively, but this cannot effectively control the progress of the game..."

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, the midfielder Gama got the ball, and he dribbled the ball forward and easily passed the opponent's player.

Gama's relaxed passing skills won warm applause from the audience.

"Portuguese players are indeed outstanding technically. As the current No. 2010 midfielder in the Portuguese national team, Gama's ability to control the game in the [-] World Cup in South Africa is really good."

"Gama is the most valuable transfer player in Dortmund's new season, but judging from the season warm-up match and starting game, his performance is very average. I don't know what Mr. Klopp thinks. A midfielder, Shinji Kagawa - his name is a bit difficult to pronounce - he did quite well."

"Personally I think Mr Klopp... ah, look at this goal!"

The commentator in the commentary room chatted and suddenly shouted.

On the court, it was Gama who was dribbling the ball.

There were two players in front of him who were double-teaming. Gama didn't hesitate. He pushed the ball lightly with his feet, and the ball flew out between the opponent's legs. The spinning football made another pick, and the football flew lightly past the waist of another defensive player. Gama stepped forward and turned around to block the opponent, and caught the spinning football again.

"God, this is a pass to yourself!!!"

There was an uproar at the scene, the fans of the home team opened their mouths in surprise, and many people immediately looked up at the big screen on the sidelines.

The on-site director was also very humane and immediately began to replay Gama's extraordinary action just now.

From the slow motion, you can clearly see the force exerted on the football by Gama when pushing, provoking, and dialing, and then use the rebound force of the ground to make the football circle in the air. Like the elves on his feet, he is freely controlled between his feet.

"I think, no matter how mediocre his previous performance is, just this shot, I admit that he is an excellent player."

The live commentator shouted excitedly.

The professional sitting beside him smiled, "In any case, Gama, who can control the ball in an instant and make such a roundabout catch, is indeed worthy of the opinion of him in Portugal. As long as nothing happens, he He can really control the Portuguese national team's midfield for the next ten years."

The commentary outside the stadium Gama didn't know, he only knew that the most important thing for him now was to mobilize the effective running positions of the frontcourt players of Party B, and then score goals.

After passing the opponent, Gama didn't stick to the ball again. He kicked the ball straight and handed it to Lewandowski who ran out of space.

Lewandovs, who was active in running, took a pick with his feet, and the football flew straight from the opponent's defender's head to the goal.

Karabaks goalkeeper Veliyev flew to save the ball, and the football hit his arm and bounced off the baseline.

Dortmund's corner kick.

Gama ran over and he was about to take a corner kick.

Lewandowski gestured to him.

Gama nodded, and kicked the ball directly to Lewandowski who was squeezed in the penalty area.

Lewandowski jumped up and headed home.

The ball hit the crossbar and flew out as team-mate Schmelzer headed home with another header.

But this time, the opponent goalkeeper Veliev failed to touch the ball again, and the football flew into the net.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Dortmund took the lead by one goal.

The players who scored the goal formed a circle happily, and Gama ran over just in time to pat Schmelzer on the head.

However, Gama also noticed that Shinji Kagawa stood aside and smiled a little shyly, Japanese, Gama muttered and waved to him.

Shinji Kagawa is currently ignorant of German, and his English is poor, but he can still understand what his teammates waving means, but he is a little cautious by nature, but he just nodded slightly.

Jia Ma shrugged slightly, well, he probably won't get along with the Japanese, so forget it.

Despite Qarabag's defensive formation, they could not prevent Dortmund from pressing aggressively in their half, and soon Dortmund had another excellent opportunity.

Shinji Kagawa steals the ball in the frontcourt, takes a step and then shoots with his left foot 22 meters away. The ball is saved by Veliyev, who flies to save it, and then hits the inside of the right post and enters the net, 2-0.

His teammates celebrated with him in the past, but his performance was still a bit jerky.

"The Japanese are so strange."

Lewandowski said this to Gama in a low voice.

Gama shrugged, "The Japanese are like that, stingy and stingy."

Is the relationship between Tian + Chaoren and the Japanese considered good or not?

Gama pouted.

Anyway, with Leizi's memory, he doesn't like the Japanese. Although the Japanese player's skills are not bad, he can't like it.

With the home team already leading 2-0, the fans at the scene became even more excited. The fireworks flying all over the sky quickly plunged the entire stadium into fog. Under the warning of the referee, the situation of waving fireworks was better.

The game continued. In the 29th minute of the first half, Piszczek made a 45-degree cross from the right. The unguarded Barrios shook his head on the spot near the penalty spot and headed to the left of the goal. The ball was saved by Veliyev It still flew into the goal, 3 to 0.

Seeing that Dortmund scored three goals easily, the expression on the commentator's face showed that he no longer focused on the game. Instead, he chatted with his partner about the three-goal lead in the first half and the second half. A few games of the stunning comeback that were reversed.

(Moumi: It feels like I hit a lot of arrows!)

While everyone was chatting easily, in the 40th minute, Schmelzer dunked the defender from the left and made a cross with his right foot. Shinji Kagawa jumped up from the penalty spot and shook his head to the lower left corner of the goal, 4-0.

"I think there should be no possibility of a reversal in the second half!"

The commentator himself laughed when he said this.

In the end, the Europa League play-off match between Dortmund and Qarabag ended 4-0.

The home team beat the visiting team.

The best player of the game was won by Kagawa Shinji, after all, did he score two goals!

…………

Gama: I hate it, I hate it!
