Many golf courses are built with some ingenuity.
The standing stands of Westfalenstadion have the function of gathering sound.
The stands of La Liga's Twin Giants are so steep. In addition to increasing the capacity, it is also for the purpose of collecting sound.
For the same stadium with 60,000 people, differences in design, whether or not there is a track, etc. have a huge impact.
The most suitable design plus the most ardent fans.
This created the reputation of Westfalenstadion as the devil's home stadium.
Although Ruhr Giants has a good reputation, Schalke 04 is inferior in all aspects.
The stadium design, team management, and even the source of youth training are not as good as Dortmund.
Schalke 04 Backed by Turkish immigrants, the team will have many talents, but loyalty is a problem.
Mark S Meyer, Sané, and Goretzka are a group of talented young people who were transferred at low prices or on free transfers, which severely damaged Schalke 04's vitality.
Originally, the poor ability of the board of directors meant that the sale price could not be obtained, and the contract was delayed until the end of the contract.
Losing tens of millions in revenue is a big blow to the Bundesliga teams.
There is such a gap between local talent and foreign talent.
Lars Ricken is not Dortmund's best player. After all, they have the so-called New Beckenbauer - Andre Yas·Müller.
But as a local young person, Ricken is more popular than Müller.
Westfalenstadion The number Ricken can be seen everywhere.
"These fans are really fanatical."
Totti couldn't help but sigh.
Before, he thought that Rome fans were the most enthusiastic.
"Industrial cities all have similar personalities." Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Many famous football cities are industrial towns.
After all, football used to be a workers' sport.
"It's different. I feel like Italy fans are not so enthusiastic." Paolo·Paolo Maldini said after passing the ball.
"Italy people lack passion."
Redondo joked.
You live such a casual life and would rather watch football in a bar instead of the stadium. How can you talk about enthusiasm?
However, Bundesliga tickets are indeed cheaper than Serie A tickets.
It's not too outrageous for a person to spend around 200 euros a season to support a local team.
Milan players warm up to the cheers of Dortmund fans.
Although it feels shocking, the impact is not great.
Most of the big names in Milan have a big heart.
Even if it were a stadium like a local chicken that threatens the safety of players with open mouths, it would not scare the Milan players.
Many famous German celebrities were present today.
The situation of the German national team is not bad, but the development of the Bundesliga in recent years does not satisfy them.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hamburg and Bayern took turns reaching the top of Europe, and Borussia Monchengladbach and other teams also finished second. That was considered the heyday of German football.
The German national team is not weak now, but it has been 14 years since the last time a German team reached the top.
After English football, the strength of the Italy team is visible to the naked eye.
In recent years, most of the Ballon d'Or players have come from Serie A.
The Germans still have high hopes for this Dortmund team.
The two sides did not do anything fancy in the warm-up. Milan's side mainly focused on passing and receiving. After all, they are a team that cooperates on the ground.
Totti pointed at the opponent's court after catching the ball and said, "That kid always looks towards us. He looks like he deserves a beating."
"Are you going to beat the opponent's No. 10 every game?"
Dejan Lu smiled and complained, "If this goes on, you will be suspended every once in a while, and then exchange money with the opponent? In this era, there are not many No. 10s worthy of you giving a red card in exchange for his injury."
"That's true."
Baggio nodded and said.
It would be worthwhile to use such a dirty method to redeem your money. At least the other party's strength must be one level higher than Totti.
Most bald guys are only half a grade higher than Totti, and one grade is a player of Pelé's level.
Totti giggled around the back of his head.
This should be regarded as a compliment to him.
"Going back."
Dejan Lu then walked towards the passage with his teammates.
Westfalenstadion is boiling, Dortmund fans can't wait.
Players from both sides stood in the tunnel, and Champions League Anthem sounded.
This song was only born 4 years ago, but it has been widely circulated.
Many players have reported that this song makes people feel the importance of the Champions League game.
Players from both sides walked out of the tunnel with serious expressions as Russian referee Nikolai Levnikov walked out of the tunnel.
Boom——
A huge TIFO slowly rose from the stands.
The figures on the back are all players that Dortmund fans love.
They looked very impressive holding trophies such as Bundesliga salad bowl and German Super Cup.
However, in front of a wealthy club like Milan, showing off the trophy makes him look weak.
A TIFO that is as wide as one side of the stands still needs to be filled with a lot of background and players to make the trophy look less obtrusive. If Milan had made the trophies the same size and lined them up one by one, the width of the side of the stand would not fit.
With this level of demonstration, the fans in the away stands showed disdain.
It's like Arsenal fans and Liverpool fans compare to the Champions League.
"Beckenbauer and Müller appeared in the stands again. It can be seen that they are paying close attention to this game. The German national team has been very strong in recent years, but the performance of German clubs in the European competition is indeed not convincing."
"This Dortmund team has gained momentum in the past two years, completely suppressing Bayern Munich. It is normal for German celebrities to be optimistic about Dortmund. However, the last time Dortmund met Dejan, they were kicked out in two rounds. I believe they still remember this."
"Dortmund The important player Sammer is absent due to injury, which has a great impact on them. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Dortmund 352 double central midfielder and single attacking midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Stefan·Kroos,
Defenders: Kohler, Martin·Kerry, Reuter,
Midfielder: Heinrich, Paolo Sosa, Andre Yas Müller, Paul Lambert, Lars Ricken,
Forwards: Herrlich, Chapuisat.
Milan 442 double midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Sebastian Rossi,
Defenders: Paolo Maldini, Baresi, Verchowod, Panucci,
Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Albertini, Baggio,
Forwards: Van Basten, Totti.
"The most surprising thing is that young player Buffon did not appear in the starting lineup. It is said that he seems to have acute gastroenteritis and suffered a stomachache after eating in the hotel."
"Rossi's level is reassuring, but his physical condition is still a little worse than Buffon. Gianluigi·Buffon is a genius among geniuses. There are few goalkeepers as tall as him who can get off the ground so fast. Buffon has the best physical condition for a goalkeeper. Maybe this is a family inheritance."
"The referee is already looking at his watch."
At 7:30 pm, referee Nikolay Levnikov blew the whistle to start the game.
Milan took the lead.
Totti took the ball and knocked it horizontally to Van Basten. Van Basten received the ball and immediately passed it back to Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu moved the ball forward without stopping, then passed the ball with his right foot and broke out.
Ricken rushed towards Dejan Lu immediately upon seeing this.
Dejan Lu had no intention of sticking to the ball. He pushed forward and passed the ball to Van Basten.
Van Basten knocked the ball horizontally at the first time and once again gave the ball to Dejan Lu who was penetrating forward.
The two began to frequently kick against the wall on the left side.
With a simple pass, Dejan Lu left Ricken behind and quickly advanced with the ball on the wing.
Reuter tries to press from the side.
Van Basten, who was running behind Reuter, began to slowly move to the middle to take advantage of the width of the field.
Snap——
Feeling that it was almost done, Dejan Lu kicked the ball horizontally, trying to rush from Reuter into the penalty area.
Ricken, which was chasing back, also started to accelerate.
But I didn't expect Dejan Lu to simply cut in from the wing of the penalty area instead of running directly into the penalty area.
Such a small change still distracted him and Reuter's attention for a short time. Van Basten, who noticed this, decisively sent a through ball on his toes.
Reuter stretched out his foot and failed to stop the ball.
Ricken, who was chasing after, started to pull Dejan Lu in the penalty area. Dejan Lu turned sideways to protect the ball, and his left arm was held in Ricken's arms, making him unable to turn around.
Dejan Lu, who was facing the goal with his back to the goal, moved his right foot and continued to drive the ball to the center.
At this time, see the right moment and hit back with an inverted triangle.
Snap——
He accurately passed the ball to Totti in front of the top of the arc. Totti turned around and shot. However, the ball was blocked by Martin·Kerry's sliding tackle as he fell to the ground. Albertini followed up with a long shot that went over the crossbar.
Dortmund fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Milan's attack was very fierce in the opening stage."
"After Dejan moved to Milan, the biggest change in Milan was the pace of the opening phase. AC Milan has never been a fast-paced team. Many teams will slowly warm up at the beginning and use low-intensity games to allow the players on both sides to slowly integrate into the game. But after Dejan arrived in Milan, Milan often focused on direct and threatening attacks from the beginning. At this time, the opponent was not focused enough and Milan easily broke the goal."
"Just this time, the cooperation of Milan's three offensive players almost resulted in a goal. This attack also reminded Dortmund."
Hitzfeld didn't expect that AC Milan would rush into the penalty area at the beginning.
The coach, who likes solid defense, slapped the back of his right hand vigorously with his left hand and shouted to the court to remind his players that the key to defensive counterattacks is to defend first.
Your mother, if you lose the ball within a few dozen seconds of the opening game, you're still having fun.
Don't look at it as two rounds.
But being given an away goal, Dortmund will be very, very passive in the future.
The schedule of two rounds, first home and then away, is very exciting.
It is far from comparable to a competition system without away goals.
This method of encouraging offense also makes the game more exciting.
After all, if you equalize and score fewer away goals, you will be eliminated. You must win the game with a total score or score more away goals.
Milan's high-quality attack at the beginning directly shocked the Dortmund players.
Westfalenstadion also heard huge boos.
This opponent is really fucking outrageous.
Many fans are still in a daze and want to steal one directly.
Van Basten walked back with some regret and said, "I almost scored a goal, but it would have been possible if you had shot."
"I have no way of knowing that someone is blocking me behind me."
Dejan Lu waved his hand and said.
The Little Prince's shooting skills are already very good, mainly because he has too little reaction time after turning around.
If he got the ball head-on, he might just hit the goal.
However, Van Basten's passing is a bit sharp.
He has very good timing on running or not running after getting the ball, and when to pass the ball.
Even if a top player's body declines, his game reading ability is still top-notch.
Andy Müller put his hands on his hips and licked his lips, feeling a little irritated.
He is more accustomed to being the brightest presence on the court. If his opponent performs too well, it will put a lot of pressure on him.
This is also the reason why he sometimes behaves abnormally during strong conversations.
Being able to dodge and move past several people in front of the penalty area is definitely a good skill.
But the same technology exerts different strengths in the hands of different people.
Some players prefer to play downwind.
Once you start to get anxious, you won't be able to show your strength.
Not to mention the Dejan Lu he faced before, even Dejan Lu's younger brother Totti now puts a lot of pressure on him.
Totti didn't hold the ball today.
But averaging nearly 2 goals per game, what the hell is this number 10's data?
When the ball kicked off in the backcourt, Müller was waving for the ball.
Reuter saw this and took a step forward, sending a diagonal pass from the instep to Sosa.
Paolo Sosa started to advance with the ball on the left side.
"Give it to me, man."
Müller shouted again.
Sosa felt that he was a little anxious, so he passed the ball anyway.
Originally, he wanted to continue to take a distance to attract the defense before passing the ball.
Müller caught the ball sideways, and Redondo went up and shoveled the ball behind Müller.
Such an obvious action of asking for the ball while still waiting for the ball makes him somewhat look down on the defensive players.
Lambert went back to get the ball and gave it to Sosa again.
The Portugal people did not dare to continue to give Müller and advanced on the right side with Lars Ricken.
Paolo Maldini rushed forward without even looking at Redondo.
Having been a teammate for such a long time, he had already guessed what Redondo would do.
Redondo chose to stand between the two people instead of blocking the passing route.
The best situation is that it can prevent the two people from cooperating, and can quickly stretch out their feet to block the pass to the center.
But it tests the players' reaction speed.
If the reaction is slower, it will become Joker by itself.
Paolo Maldini rushed towards Lars Ricken who was currently holding the ball without hesitation at all.
Ricken didn't dare to continue dribbling the ball. He was already slowing down to observe and consider how to deal with it.
Müller moved forward to the penalty area and waved again.
Ricken secretly cursed an idiot in his heart and deliberately made a pass to the penalty area. However, he knocked the ball horizontally with his left foot and then drove forward himself.
Sosa reacted a step too slowly and failed to pass the ball out immediately to complete the wall-kicking coordination. Dejan Lu had already chased him back, and there was no need for Redondo to defend.
Seeing that there was no chance, Sosa simply turned around and passed the ball back, allowing his teammates to reorganize the offense.
Martin·Kerry obviously cannot replace Sammer's position.
That is Germany's best free agent since Beckenbauer.
Kerry was not so calm in the high post. He just received the ball and immediately gave it to Reuter, allowing Reuter to continue dribbling the ball forward.
In other words, Reuter is a versatile player who can play from center back to full back, from center midfielder to winger.
Otherwise, touching the ball in the backcourt today will be a problem.
Reuter accelerated and broke through Baggio, and then quickly passed the ball to Paul Lambert.
Lambert didn't dare to wait where he was, and took the initiative to greet him.
But after taking the ball, Albertini still blocked his position and prevented him from turning around.
Lambert, who was sideways, quickly passed to Ricken.
Paolo Maldini saw the right opportunity and made a sliding tackle to knock the ball down behind Ricken.
This wide player was also very decisive. He didn't let Paolo Maldini get the ball when he got up, and directly fouled Paolo Maldini.
The Rossoneris in the away fans' stands were quite dissatisfied.
Damn it, getting the ball means counterattacking.
In the live broadcast room, Cruyff shook his head and said, "There are more and more fouls in the frontcourt, because this kind of tactical foul often does not even lead to a card, but it can directly interrupt the opponent's counterattack and use the minimum cost to get the maximum benefit. FIFA and UEFA should put more effort in this aspect. There must be some restrictions on this tactic."
The game is being interrupted more and more often, which also shows that this kind of foul is very profitable, and most teams have begun to use it.
Paolo Maldini stood up, held down the ball, bent down and kicked it quickly.
Bang——
Almost all Dortmund players returned to half-court.
Dejan Lu ran towards the ball with his back turned, and Ricken followed Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu did not choose to use speed to throw away the opponent, but kept the distance between Ricken and Ricken relatively close.
The moment he waited for the ball to come over, Dejan Lu chose to stand on his right foot and turned counterclockwise to move his left foot.
Such a move made Ricken think that he had caught the ball and turned around, and immediately followed suit.
Click——
The ball passed between Dejan Lu's feet, and then passed through Ricken's wicket.
Dejan Lu just started. In panic, Ricken stretched out his hand to catch something empty. Instead, he lost his center of gravity and fell heavily.
"Beautiful!!!"
"Dejan, it can only be Dejan. He turned around with his feet planted and tricked his opponent into spreading his legs to let the ball pass. This action is so beautiful!"
Dortmund fans were speechless.
Their genius seemed to have lost half of their IQ in front of Dejan Lu.
Lambert came over quickly to cover up the defense, but the frequency of Dejan Lu's feet made Lambert dare not stretch his feet.
Taking small steps to move the ball, Lambert was afraid of stretching his foot and directly committing a foul.
He could only retreat slowly while pressing his center of gravity.
Dejan Lu suddenly raised his right foot, and Lambert quickly stepped sideways to block it.
Unexpectedly, Dejan Lu dropped his right leg slightly and just pushed the ball forward, then lifted it up again and pulled out the outside instep to pass the ball.
Snap——
Lambert, who had just landed, could not do anything at all. He could only watch the ball go around him and go straight to the penalty area.
Reuter, who came up to help, couldn't catch up, so he turned around and ran back.
Fortunately, Martin·Kerry reacted quickly this time, rushed out of the top of the key and shook his head, pushing the ball out of the danger zone.
Dortmund fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Hitzfeld stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and his teeth bared.
It's really an indescribable feeling.
Dejan Lu obviously has sufficient technical and physical conditions, but he always plays with his brains. This makes his players stupid.
Even if you perform well, why are you embarrassing my players?
What a shame for a Bundesliga champion team.
But he immediately became nervous again.
Sosa took the ball and was shoveled out by Redondo just after passing the midfield.
Baggio, who retreated this time, immediately moved in a wide range after receiving the ball, and accurately found Dejan Lu on the left.
Reuter didn't dare to step back, just waiting for Dejan Lu to rush forward with the ball.
The moment the two people met, Dejan Lu put a little force on his feet and let the ball pass through Reuter's wicket.
Lambert, who returned to the penalty area, rushed to grab it.
Dejan Lu, who was dribbling the ball laterally, suddenly accelerated, rushed in front of him and took the ball to the top of the penalty area, turned around and volleyed on the left side of the arc.
Bang——
The quality of this kick was very high. Kroos took off and misjudged the position and failed to touch the ball, which shocked the Dortmund goalkeeper.
Duang——
The next second there was the sound of the ball hitting the post.
Kroos looked back and saw that the ball was not in the goal. It probably hit the crossbar and went out of the baseline. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Too dangerous!
In the first ten minutes, AC Milan launched one wave after another.
It's only a matter of time before we lose the ball at this rate.
"You're not having much luck today, Dejan."
Van Basten said with some regret.
"The next shot will definitely score."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"Okay, I hope so." Van Basten nodded.
Kroos threw the ball to Reuter.
Reuter didn't push forward in a hurry, wanting to get the ball and stabilize the rhythm.
But Totti rushed forward immediately.
The Little Prince was not too active offensively today, but the pressing intensity was still there.
Dejan Lu thinks he probably ate too many sausages, which affected his condition.
Reuter didn't dare to gamble and passed the ball forward immediately.
When Ricken was waiting for the ball, he saw that Lambert's expression was not right.
Before he could think about it, the ball was shoveled away by one foot as soon as it reached his feet.
Paolo Maldini!
It's Paolo Maldini again.
Paolo Maldini got up very quickly, but this time Lambert was prepared and quickly came up to get the ball.
The two people arrived near the ball almost at the same time. Paolo Maldini bent down and stretched his legs, while Lambert took a step forward to get one step ahead.
But Paolo Maldini is still faster. As a top defender, Paolo Maldini is very experienced in protecting the ball.
After getting the ball on the wing, he faced the sideline, turned around and took a kick at the first moment.
The ball hit Lambert's thigh and bounced off the sideline.
Hiss,
Lambert quickly rubbed his thighs.
This time it was really powerful.
Paolo Maldini took the ball and took a step back, then threw the ball hard towards Dejan Lu.
He believed that with such power, Dejan Lu could also stop it.
On the contrary, the opponent is not very good at stealing.
Dejan Lu stuck Reuter behind him and prepared to unload the ball with his chest.
But this time Reuter directly hugged Dejan Lu's waist, and Dejan Lu lost his center of gravity and fell down just as he ran forward.
Beep——
The Russian referee finally gave the first yellow card of the day.
"This position, a free kick on the wing of the penalty area, should not be a problem for Dejan. Diego Maradona is also very good at taking free kicks in this position."
Already on the side line of the penalty area.
It's not very far from the goal either.
As for the near angle or the far angle, Dejan Lu has no choice at all.
You still want to hit the short corner at such a close distance, unless the ball goes directly at a right angle, it's almost the same.
He only had one option in the far corner.
Stefan·Kroos obviously realized this and stood at the far end of the goal.
There is only a wall of two defensive players in front of Dejan Lu. The focus of the players on both sides is still the fight in the penalty area.
Beep——
As the whistle sounded, Dejan Lu rubbed his thighs and insteps after his approach.
Bang——
The ball quickly climbed up and went straight to the far corner of the goal with strong spin. Kroos hesitated for a second before he was sure that the ball would not go out of the baseline, but when he took off, it was already too late.
Duang——
The ball hit the inside of the upper right post and bounced into the goal.
