Chapter 162
On the evening of August 14, Westfalenstadion.
In the sea of yellow and black, Dortmund fans waved flags, looking forward to the first championship battle before the start of the new season.
The Super Cup champion will be between Dortmund and Bayern. This is the fifth time that the two teams have met in the Super Cup.
If Bayern wins this game, they will win the fifth Super Cup.
Dortmund has won six Super Cups before, which is far higher than Bayern.
As the new head coach of Bayern, Ancelotti's first game is the highlight.
This is also the first time that former Dortmund captain Hummels has returned to Westfalenstadion, wearing the No. 5 jersey to represent Bayern in the duel with Dortmund.
Players from both sides came on the field. When the DJ on the scene called Hummels' name, the Dortmund fans on the scene booed directly.
In their eyes, Hummels is still a traitor. Even Gotze, who had just returned, just sat on the bench.
As the first championship trophy before the start of the new season, Dortmund players seemed very excited.
During the pre-match warm-up, Dortmund players would show off their skills from time to time, causing the fans to applaud and scream.
There were many pre-match speculations about the outcome of this game, but there were more expectations, especially from Dortmund fans, who hoped that the trophy could remain in Dortmund instead of being taken away by Bayern.
Since you are here, stay, Dortmund needs a good start.
In the PP live broadcast room, Lu Ming was very excited, not only because the new season has started, but also because he has a new partner Shi Qing.
Shi Qing is also a very down-to-earth commentator. At the beginning of the new season, he, who has just been in PP for two years, has the opportunity to partner with Lu Ming.
"Friends, today I would like to introduce a new friend to you, Shi Qing! He will be my partner and will take you into the world of Bundesliga with me."
"Hello everyone, I am your new friend, Shi Qing!"
Shi Qing, who is chubby and wearing glasses, waved to the camera and greeted the audience in front of the screen.
Lu:"Tonight we will broadcast the most important game before the start of the new season, the Super Cup final. This is a focus battle and the German derby we are familiar with."
Shi:"Yes, tonight is the focus battle between the German Cup champion Dortmund and the Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich at home."
Lu:"From the pre-match warm-up match, Bayern's performance is obviously stronger than Dortmund. Dortmund needs a period of running-in due to the addition of a large number of new players after the summer window."
Shi:"I don't think so. Bayern also has a lot of new players, and they have also changed their new head coach. Ancelotti's tactical philosophy can quickly integrate with Bayern. It can be seen that this old coach came with the confidence of winning."
Lu:"What you said is also reasonable, but I am more looking forward to Dortmund's new atmosphere. The players of both sides have already played. Let us first introduce the starting lineups of both sides."
Shi:"Okay, Dortmund are wearing their home yellow jerseys and have lined up in a 433 formation. Goalkeeper: Burki; Defenders: Paslak, Papastathopoulos, Bartra, Schmelzer: Midfielders: Rod, Castro, Ramos; Forwards: Miyuan, Aubameyang, Dembele."
Lu:"Bayern are wearing red jerseys and the starting lineup is also 433. Goalkeeper: Neuer; Defenders: Lahm, Hummels, Martinez, Alaba; Midfielders: Vidal, Alonso, Thiago; Forwards: Muller, Lewandowski, Ribery."
Shi:"Both sides have finished selecting their sides. Dortmund will attack from the left side of the screen to the right, and Bayern will kick off first."Lu
:"The players from both sides have taken their positions. Let us wait for the referee's whistle and watch the game together."
On the court, the players of both sides were ready. The head coaches of both sides were watching the court from the sidelines, waiting for the game to begin.
As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Lewandowski passed the ball to Alonso.
Aubameyang rushed directly to the hinterland of Bayern's half like a black cheetah to steal the ball.
Alonso saw Aubameyang rushing up quickly and passed the ball back to Hummels. As soon as the latter touched the ball, the bees on the scene began to boo.
Such behavior disturbed Hummels. He saw Aubameyang rushing up and hurriedly passed the ball to goalkeeper Neuer.
Neuer pushed the ball to Lahm, and Miyuan immediately rushed up to intercept.
Dembele also rushed up at the same time to interfere with Bayern's players.
Dortmund started high pressure at the beginning of the game. He grabbed the ball and gave Bayern a warning.
Lahm protected the ball and made a long pass to the midfield. When the midfielder passed the ball to Muller, the ball was intercepted by Dortmund and they launched an attack directly from the left.
Bayern's defense on the right was very tight. Rod had no good chance to push forward and moved towards the center circle while protecting the ball.
After he opened up space with Bayern, he passed the ball directly back to Bartra, who made a long pass to find Dembele who was on the right.
Unfortunately, the pass was not strong enough and was intercepted by Alaba and driven directly to the midfield.
After Thiago got the ball, he dodged the Dortmund players and passed the ball to Ribery.
When Ribery got the ball, Castro chased back and fell to the ground to clear the ball. His toes barely touched the ball, affecting Ribery's shot. The ball was caught easily.
Papastathopoulos kept pressing Ribery, and when the two were fighting on the wing, Ribery got stuck, but Papastathopoulos still leaned on Ribery with his body, stretched out his long arms, and forced Ribery behind him with his body advantage.
Although Papastathopoulos intercepted the ball, the referee's whistle also sounded.
Bayern won a free kick, they quickly kicked the ball out and reorganized the attack.
Less than a minute into the game, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the fans of both sides at the scene were also roaring and beating drums to cheer for the players on the field.
The two sides fought fiercely after the opening, and both sides had the opportunity to dribble into the penalty area and shoot.
Unfortunately, they were both blocked by the defensive ball The players cleared the ball in time and did not threaten the goal.
In the fourth minute, Bayern made a cross from Dortmund's right bottom, but the ball was destroyed by the defensive player and cleared out of the penalty area.
After Mi Yuan got the ball outside the penalty area, he rushed to the front court with the ball, and before the opponent's player came forward to intercept, he passed it to Dembele on the right.
Unfortunately, Dembele stopped the ball too far and missed a good single-handed opportunity.
However, Dembele's return was very active. With the cooperation of his teammates, Bayern failed to bring the ball through the midfield, and the ball was returned to Dortmund's feet.
Dortmund almost pressed to the front court to launch a new round of attack. Unfortunately, when Dembele passed the ball to Aubameyang in front of the goal, the ball was destroyed by Bayern's players who fell to the ground in time. The football flew to the midfield, was caught by Muller who retreated, and handed to Ribery.
