2010年8月29日星期天17:00梅赛德斯?奔驰竞技球场

2010-2011 Bundesliga second round, Stuttgart VS Dortmund.

Because it is an away game, most of the audience seats are fans of the home team. Only the fans of the visiting team in the yellow and black jerseys of the Hornets sit on the north stand. On both sides of the stands of the visiting team fans, some seats are vacant. There are security guards and police patrolling there.

Stuttgart starting lineup:

1-Ulrich, 5-Tashche, 6-Nedmeier, 21-Bolarus, 35-Trasch, 8-Kuzmanovic, 16-Camoranesi,

20-C* Gentner, 7-Harnik, 9-Marica, 18-Kakao.

Today's Dortmund coach Klopp's lineup arrangement has not changed much from the starting 11 when he played against Leverkusen at home a week ago, except for Gama and Svenbender.

Gama finally got a starting spot in the league.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a Japanese player in the home team's lineup today!"

Probably because the age difference is not too big and they can communicate in language. Ge Xiaoce and Jia Ma can chat, but Jia Ma thinks it is mainly because he gave him a sandwich. As for the crowd sitting on the other side of Jia Ma Svenbender, purely soy sauce, hum.

Bender leaned on Gama bonelessly, "I can't understand the English he speaks."

This "he" refers to Kagawa Shinji. Speaking of which, the Japanese player Kagawa Shinji performed very well in the few games after the transfer, but he has a problem that he has too little communication with his teammates, not only because of The main reason for the personality lies in the language barrier between the two sides-the Dortmund team is mainly composed of German players, in addition, there are three Brazilians, two Poles, and one each from Serbia, Egypt, France, Australia, Turkey, Hungary and Portugal, so the main language in the team is German and English are the main ones, and there are four Portuguese speakers.Of course players who don't understand German can communicate in English.

So the only Japanese person - he doesn't understand German, and his English is not very good. Except for daily expressions and professional vocabulary in Japanese spoken English, everyone can't understand his English very well.

The communication between the teammates was not smooth. Although Kagawa performed well before, after Gama's outstanding performance, Gama, who was able to communicate smoothly with his teammates, naturally gained more trust from his teammates, and he had more passing cooperation. Therefore, when arranging midfielders, the coaching staff will also arrange more partners for Gama and the main team.

Therefore, this is the power of knowledge, knowledge can change destiny!

Gama thought.

"The game is about to start, so can Bobic talk about your opinion?"

In the on-site commentary room, apart from the host, today's special guest, Freddie Bobic, was sitting.

In a football game, one or two guests are usually specially invited to the home commentary to chat about the game or some gossip about the team players, which will be transmitted through radio waves to make up for the fans who cannot come to watch the game. Mood, and it is the host's ability to invite guests who can make the fans willing to listen to them.

"In the first round of the game, the team's defense had a big problem. I think Gross' lineup today should be adjusted to face the defense. From the list, the team played four times before. Tashche, who hadn't played in the game, started, moved Blaluz to the right, Tresch returned to the midfielder position, and Gentner changed to the left midfielder..."

Some low but deserted voices came from the current, not only the fans listening to the radio outside, but also the fans of the home team who heard this voice at the scene couldn't help being stunned.

"Hey, who is this person?"

The fans asked each other, and a fan from the home team's fan association looked up hesitantly to see the large transparent window above the stadium auditorium, "I seem to have heard Bayer (host) just call Bobic."

"Bobic?"

Many fans at the scene, especially many fans over 30 years old, exclaimed.

At this time, Gama, who was already standing on the fans, heard the voice from the sidelines. He turned his head and looked over strangely, and found that not only the South Stand, but also the fans of the visiting team who came with the team Buzzing discussion.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing the figure of the captain not far away from him, Jia Ma asked.

Kyle, who got the kick-off right because of coin guessing, also frowned, "It shouldn't be a big deal, it seems that some celebrity may have come to watch the game."

"Oh~"

Gama shrugged and turned around.

I didn't expect foreigners to be full of curiosity about celebrities, haha.

Following the referee's whistle, the football flew out.

Captain Kyle gently pushed the ball under his feet and handed it to Gama.

Jia Ma dribbled the ball from the middle to the opponent's half, passing the rushing opponent, because he didn't know the opponent - Jia Ma, like most Chinese people, couldn't remember the names of foreigners - face knew, the pre-match tactical analysis class I've seen it on the Internet, but I can't remember the name - I glanced at the number on the opponent's shorts, Gama flicked the ball under his feet, turned around and blocked the long pass.

Ge Xiaoce on the side didn't stop the ball after receiving the ball, and swept it in the air, and the football flew back.

Jia Ma, who swooped forward from the opponent's double-team, headed him, chased the ball and pushed again.

After another two-for-two with his teammates, Gama distributed the ball from the center to the left. Schmelzer received the ball and then made a cross with his left foot. This pass was originally intended to be sent from the rear Gotze outflanked the past, but what he didn't expect was that the ball hit Blaluz and changed its line and refracted into the goal.

Stuttgart goalkeeper Ulrich had nothing to do about it, he could only stare dumbfounded at the ball swirling in the net.

In the 5th minute of the first half, 0 to 1, the visiting team Dortmund took the lead.

The suddenness of the goal left many fans at home before they had time to react. The fans who were arguing about the guests at the scene today not only stared wide-eyed when they heard the sound of the away team taking the lead reported on the radio.

In fact, even the Dortmund players who scored the goal felt a little sudden. Schmelzer was stunned. After a few seconds, after the referee whistled that the goal was effective, he ran up in surprise and celebrated his goal. .

"Planting flowers will not bloom, planting willows unintentionally will make a shade."

Jia Ma, who stopped outside the restricted area, shrugged and muttered something in Chinese.

"What did you say?"

Ge Xiaoce who ran over asked.

Gama spread his hands, "It's nothing, it's a bit of a surprise."

"That's it."

Ge Xiaoce laughed and then rushed towards Schmelzer's back like a small cannonball.

Tsk tsk, that portion is not light!

Jia Ma thought for a while, and decided to see if anyone else went to suppress people's mountain.

It turned out that no one pressed it, which is really unscientific.

Gama muttered and walked away.

With Dortmund's goal, the visiting team's offense became sharper, and the home team was beaten for a while and lost its way.

"Bobic, it looks like the situation is not good!"

In the commentary room of the home team, the host Bayer said anxiously.

"Yes, our defense is really full of holes."

Freddy Bobic nodded.

The 39-year-old former professional player was once a meritorious player of the Stuttgart team and was a member of the most glorious era of the Stuttgart team.

So it is no wonder that the fans of the home team started talking after hearing his voice, which had not been seen for a long time, and even the fans of the away team curiously joined the ranks of gossip - the reason is naturally because the German top scorer became famous in the Stuttgart team , Not only did he form the forward line of the German chariot with Klinsmann, he made great contributions to the German team winning the 1996 European Cup, and was later poached by the Dortmund team. Yes, he was poached by the Hornets.

"The instability of the defense is the biggest problem."

"Yes, if I were Gross, I must let Tashche and Nedmeier stick to the defense and not lose their positions again..."

On the court, the game continues.

Borussia Dortmund's offensive continued, Svenbender dribbled the ball in from the wing, and Gross Kreutz received the ball and crossed it. Fortunately, this time Nedmeyer made up the defense in time and the football was blocked.

Ge Xiaoce ran to serve the sideline ball, and he threw the ball directly to Barrios.

Barrios raised his calf and the ball hit Lu Jiama's feet.

"The Dortmund midfielders are really young today!"

When he was a player, Bobic’s personality was very arrogant and aloof, and he was not good at getting along with others, but in the few years after retiring, in the process of managing the team and taking charge of the team’s development, Bobic was once cold and introverted. The man who had offended many of his colleagues in the industry also began to become more tactful, especially when facing the two teams he played for today, he paid more attention to his words.

The host Bayer who noticed this was not only a little emotional.

On the field at this time, the clock had just reached the 26th minute of the first half, and Dortmund, who had the advantage, once again expanded the score.

Dortmund's Gama made a long pass from the midfield to the opponent's penalty area. Stuttgart's Ned Meier headed the ball to the left. The right foot shot from 13 meters away was accurately sent to the lower right corner of the goal, 2 to 0.

The home team fans booed vigorously, but the Dortmund fans happily blew their horns.

Bobic in the commentary room shook his head helplessly. Although he has played for both clubs, if he likes it, his debut team Stuttgart is his favorite.

Facing his beloved team that is about to be bloodbathed, this calm former player can't sit still.

"Gross should have made some tactical changes, otherwise the team's situation will be worse."

Bobic watched the game, frowning.

However, things are always good and bad. Under the eyes of all the fans of the home team, Dortmund scored again.
