Another Goal, the Real Trump Card Was Lin Quan!

Dortmund's players were a little stunned, staring blankly at their own goal as if they could not accept the cruel reality of conceding so quickly.

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, erupted after the goal. Their players sprinted all over the pitch, chasing Füllkrug down and tackling him hard to the ground before piling onto him one after another, shouting as they formed a human stack.

On the sidelines, Head Coach Schaaf clenched his fists excitedly when he saw the goal, rushing out to embrace and celebrate with his coaching staff.

On the other side, Klopp's expression turned extremely grim when he saw his team concede so quickly.

"Damn it, what bullshit luck!"

They had only launched one attack, and it had resulted in a goal. That was absurdly lucky.

Of course, that did not mean Dortmund had been completely blameless in their defending just now.

When Füllkrug shook off his marker and burst forward for the shot, Dortmund's players had failed to get back into position in time, leaving him unmarked and allowing the goal to happen.

Could this young player from Werder Bremen's academy be the secret weapon that old Schaaf had specially prepared for this match?

Klopp was not so sure. His gaze moved back and forth between Lin Quan and Füllkrug.

He could not tell which of them was actually Werder Bremen's main attacking threat today!

Or perhaps both of them were their secret weapons?

With that thought, he called Hummels over and gave him a few instructions.

After the match restarted, Füllkrug noticed that the opposition's marking had become much tighter.

Dortmund had not assigned anyone to mark him specifically, but there were always one or two Dortmund players near him, staying very close.

Under those circumstances, the moment a teammate passed him the ball, the opposition would immediately press him and try to win it from his feet.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Schaaf's face, and he finally relaxed a little.

Young Füllkrug was not Werder Bremen's true secret weapon. Their real trump card was Lin Quan, a winger with terrifying one-on-one breaking ability.

Füllkrug's main purpose on the pitch was actually to provide cover for his teammates, lay the ball off, support them, and incidentally draw some of the defenders' attention so they could not focus all their energy on stopping Lin Quan.

And Füllkrug's goal just now had reinforced that impression, making Dortmund believe that he was the most dangerous threat and forcing them to commit more defensive resources to him.

That was exactly what Schaaf wanted.

"Now then, it's your turn to perform!"

Schaaf's gaze crossed the crowd and settled on the Number 10 Jersey player on the right side of his team.

The unexpected goal conceded in the fourth minute did not directly crush Dortmund's fighting spirit.

Although conceding just four minutes into the match was difficult for them to accept mentally, leaving them with the stifled frustration of having been ambushed by their opponents.

That frustration, however, was transformed directly into anger, igniting an even fiercer fighting spirit within them.

They began using more active movement and more ferocious challenges to speed up the game, hoping to crush their opponents, equalize, and even overturn the score!

This was Westfalen, the most terrifying home ground in the entire Bundesliga!

They would not allow this bunch to run wild here!

But Werder Bremen, having just scored and with every player's morale soaring, was not afraid of Dortmund's pressing.

Thus, the two sides once again fought fiercely in midfield, leaving players sprawled everywhere.

In the fifth minute, Dortmund worked the ball into Werder Bremen's penalty area through quick passing combinations.

Lewandowski received the ball in the box. With no good passing options available, he chose to shoot himself.

The shot lacked power and was comfortably gathered by the goalkeeper.

Mielitz knew that the window for the early attacking push their Head Coach had arranged was running out. If they could not score another goal now, Dortmund would soon pin them in their own half and lay siege to them.

So he sprang up from the ground and launched a long kick toward the front.

Dortmund had just completed an attack, and most of their players were still in the opposition's half, with no time to get back and defend.

At that moment, their backfield was so open that horses could have galloped through it.

It was Arnautovic again. The tall center forward once more used his excellent heading ability to win the aerial ball and nod it on to Füllkrug.

There was a Dortmund defender beside Füllkrug, pressing him before he could even bring the ball under control.

But surprisingly, Werder Bremen's number 41 did not go for the ball at all. Instead, he cleverly let it run for another teammate charging up from behind—Lin Quan, wearing the Number 10 Jersey!

With a swish, Klopp shot to his feet from his seat.

His expression became extremely solemn!

Wasn't that guy operating on the right flank?

When had he moved into the middle?

Füllkrug was 1.9 meters tall. After letting the ball go, he happened to block the defender's path, preventing Dortmund's players from interfering with or stopping Lin Quan, who now had possession, immediately.

And that gave Lin Quan the time and space to accelerate!

Countless matches had proven just how dangerous it was once Messi got up to speed!

And now, Dortmund's players were facing that very test!

With his speed fully unleashed, Lin Quan used no flashy tricks at all. He simply changed his rhythm, cut the ball back, shifted direction, and easily dribbled past Dortmund's central defender Kirch.

The opponent wanted to grab his shirt, but feared conceding a penalty.

In that moment of hesitation, Lin Quan had already pulled the trigger.

Seeing Lin Quan dribble into the penalty area, Dortmund goalkeeper Langerak immediately shifted toward the near post.

But the shot was aimed at the far corner, and it was a curling effort.

Faced with such a shot, Langerak could only make a token dive. He could not touch the ball at all.

As he fell to the ground, he heard a bang and felt a surge of joy, thinking the shot had gone wide.

But when he turned around, he saw that the ball had still bounced into the goal.

In the sixth minute, Werder Bremen once again pierced Dortmund's goal with a swift counterattack.

The score became 2:0!

This goal was almost identical to the first, both coming from rapid counterattacks that caught Dortmund completely off guard.

Before their defenders had even fully gotten back into position, Werder Bremen had already completed the attack.

In such circumstances, it did not matter how hard Dortmund's players could run!

They simply could not outrun the ball!

This left Dortmund's players collectively bewildered, and they even began questioning whether the team's tactical setup had been correct.

If things continued like this, they had no idea how many more goals they would concede in this match.

This was Westfalen, their home ground.

If they suffered a heavy home defeat, or even a complete humiliation, the players did not know how they would face their fans.

So after the match restarted, Dortmund's players became somewhat hesitant, seemingly no longer daring to keep attacking.

On the sidelines, Schaaf felt much more at ease when he saw Dortmund's players' performance.

Just as I expected. Young players' strengths are obvious, but so are their weaknesses. Their mentality is far too easily affected.

So now, Head Coach Klopp, did he have any way to resolve the crisis before him?
