Chapter 56 German Cup First Round

The Bumblebee started the new season with a victory. After the first round of the league, it was followed by the first round of the DFB-Pokal.

According to the normal schedule, the first round of the German Cup will be held on July 7 and 30.Because of the weather in Sandhausen, there will be a make-up match.This game was also placed in the middle of the week after the first round of the league, which also means that Dortmund will have a one-week double-match schedule in the second week of the new season.

Why is the German Cup game away?
Because this is the rules of the German Cup, of course, this is only for the first round of the rules.According to the rules, in the first round of the German Cup draw, no matter who is drawn first, the lower-level side will play at home.After the first round, the home game will be determined by drawing lots, and whoever is drawn first will be home.

On the fourth day after the end of the first round of the league, that is, on August 8, Dortmund will play against their first opponent in the German Cup today. They will play away against Sandhausen in the German third.

Considering that his opponent is weak, coach Klopp also carried out a large-scale rotation of the regular lineup of the game.

On the defense line, Le Wei rotated Schmelzer, Felipe Santana continued to replace Subotic, who was absent due to injury, as the central defender, the other central defender was still Hummels, and the right back was still Piszczek.

Bend rested in this game, captain Kyle played with his partner Kuba, and in the middle of the midfield was "Egyptian Zidane" Zidan who rotated Shinji Kagawa.

Lin Tian and Perisic started the game, separated on the two wings, and Lewandowski was the center.Because after the last German Super Cup, Barrios' old injury in this summer's Copa America recurred and he will be out for more than a month.

……

With the start of the game, Dortmund has been suppressing Sandhausen, controlling the rhythm of the field, and playing the game against the guest.

Dortmund passed the ball back and forth between the midfield and the frontcourt. This is also the arrangement of Uncle Zha. He wants to make the team play more cooperative and tacit games in this lineup.

As for the tacit understanding or not, Klopp takes these into his eyes. Anyway, he thinks that Lin Tian, ​​Perisic, and Lewandowski are very in harmony.

No. 17 minutes, Perisic dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area, knocked across the front of the penalty area to Lewandowski in the middle, the ball passed between the two Sandhausen defenders, Lewandowski touched the ball with his right foot and then swiped the ball behind him without stopping.

1-0!

It came from the connection between Perisic, Lewandowski and Lin Tian. This goal is also full of tacit understanding. Perisic sent the pass just right, Lewandowski's beautiful right foot kicked the ball in the opposite direction, and Lin Tian knew it.

Nice teamwork!
Full of tacit understanding!

This is Klopp's evaluation of the three in his heart, and it is also the unanimous opinion of the fans at the scene.

Lin Tian jumped up and raised his arms to celebrate. Since he came to Dortmund, his way of celebrating has also been led by Uncle Zha and his teammates to be bold and unrestrained.

Maybe even he himself is aware that he is subtly integrating into Dortmund created by Klopp.

After the game restarted, Dortmund's offense was still full of firepower, but it was always short of a goal.

No.20 In the second minute, Zidan transferred the ball to Perisic on the left in a wide range in front of the midfield. After passing Sandhausen defender Ulm in the frontcourt, Perisic came to the penalty area and continued to dribble forward and backward.

In the 209th minute, Dortmund got a free kick before the top of the arc. Zidan's direct free kick was saved again by Sandhausen's goalkeeper. Lewandowski kicked the ball into the side net.

No. In the 306th minute, Lin Tian entered the penalty area after receiving a goal from Lewandowski on the right side of the penalty area. The two consecutive bicycle movements in the penalty area also opened up the shooting angle for himself.

Constant attack can still be rewarded, but this time the reward is a bit late.

Goals may be late, but never absent. No. 403 minutes, Lin Tian started to attack from the right side. Facing Sandhausen player Miweni who was defending him, Lin Tian tried to smash the inside of his foot and turned around but failed to deceive the experienced Miweni.Accelerating forward, Miweni chased after him. Lin Tian suddenly stopped the ball with the inside of his foot, then turned around the ball to block the opponent with his body, and finally dialed the ball with the inside of his foot.After a 360-degree turn, Lin Tian accelerated to leave, leaving Miweni behind.

At a position of 45 degrees on the right, Lin Tian made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the back of the penalty area, and Lewandowski jumped high and scored with a header.

2-0!

Dortmund expand the score!

……

After the intermission, the second half continued.Sandhausen rarely found a threatening offensive opportunity. Kuba fouled Mivini in the frontcourt. Sandhausen got an excellent free kick in the frontcourt.

Halfa was also very annoyed when he saw the ball fly out which was almost a goal.

After Sandhausen missed this rare opportunity, Dortmund will not give them such a second chance. As long as the ball is always in the hands of Dortmund, then it is impossible for Sandhausen to have any ability to threaten the penalty area.

No.603 minutes, after Lin Tian lost the ball in the frontcourt, he quickly counterattacked successfully on the spot. Lin Tian distributed the ball to Lewandowski. After Lewandowski took two steps forward, he also distributed the ball.

3-0!

Dortmund basically sealed the victory!

The striker trio also scored goals!
Bloom at three o'clock!
……

After a one-sided game with a huge disparity in reality, Dortmund also defeated Sandhausen in the third division with a score of 3-0, and the Hornets also successfully advanced to the second round of the DFB-Pokal.

Lewandowski, who made two passes and one shot, was also named the best player of the game after the game, and Lin Tian also scored again after the German Super Cup, and now he is only short of opening the league scoring record.
