Chapter 93 Expedition to Russia

Although the result of the draw seems to be imperfect, but in terms of the team's current situation of more than a week of games, the head coach Klopp can still accept it with pleasure.

At the same time, after the match against Leverkusen, Uncle Zha led the whole team to the airport directly, and they were going to Kazan, Russia to play away against Rubin Kazan in the first round of the Europa League knockout round.

As a strong team in the Russian Super League, the rise of Ruby Kazan in Russia can be said to be very fast.Ruby Kazan only started to compete in the Russian Super League in 2003, but the team won the league No.3 in the first season of the Russian Super League, thus qualifying for the UEFA Cup for the first time.

In 2005, Rubin Kazan's record in the European arena was even better. They broke into the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

In 2008, their 7-game winning streak at the beginning of the season also laid the foundation for the league championship. In the end, they also won the Russian Super League championship 3 rounds ahead of schedule that season, which was also the first Russian Super League championship for Ruby Kazan.

Even though the club will have various results in the league, in the European arena, Rubin Kazan has always maintained a very good performance in foreign wars.

In the 2009-10 season, at Camp Nou, Barcelona's home stadium, Bergiev led the Rubin Kazan team to a 2-1 victory over last season's European Triple Crown and also the defending champion Barcelona team. The biggest upset since the start of the UEFA Champions League that season broke out. This victory has also become one of the most classic games in team history.

Ruby Kazan has the gene of extraordinary performance in the European arena, plus it is playing at its own home court. The home court of the Russian team has always been a place where other European clubs have difficulty retreating.

Uncle Zha also vaccinated the players on the plane to Russia. If Dortmund wants to win a victory at the Kazan Stadium, they must use their full strength.

After a few hours of flight, all members of the team arrived in Kazan and got off the plane, so everyone began to understand what Russia's home field advantage is.

"It's so cold!" Lin Tian shrank his neck suddenly when he got out of the plane.

"Wow! It's so cold, colder than Germany." Perisic complained while clutching his down jacket tightly.

"We are going to play in this kind of weather. It's a bit scary to think about it." Gotze also complained behind him.

"At that time, the warm-up intensity should be increased, otherwise it will be easy to cramp, and if you are unlucky, you will be injured." Assistant coach Buvac reminded everyone.

Uncle Zha also said after this: "Let's go, we'll go to the hotel to put our luggage in a while, we still have to step on the field, after all, the team doesn't have enough training time."

……

Two days passed quickly. On Valentine's Day, the European war was once again in full swing, and the major clubs in the Europa League also ushered in the first round of the knockout round.

In the Kazan Arena in Russia, Rubin Kazan and Borussia Dortmund are also undergoing the final pre-match ceremony, and fans are also waiting for the start of the game.

Thanks to the rotation in the previous game, Uncle Zha was able to send all of his main players to play against the strong teams of the Russian Super League today, and Perisic still started in place of Gotze.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels, Piszczek.

Back midfielder: Kyle.

Midfield: Gundogan, Perisic.

Front waist: Shinji Kagawa.

Forwards: Lewandowski, Lin Tian.

After the start of the game, Dortmund did not launch an attack quickly. The ball was slowly advancing under the control of the midfielder. In order to adapt to the weather conditions in Russia, the team planned to be more cautious.

Adaptation is for the Yellow and Black Army, and Ruby Kazan does not need to adapt. The game in Russia's weather is what they have to face at any time, and they have long been used to it.

Therefore, the first attack on the field is the Ruby Kazan at home.In the 8th minute, perhaps due to the cold, Schmelzer did not maintain enough attention. Schmelzer made a mistake in the backcourt. The ball was snatched by Kazan Ruby striker Nemov, and then went forward to adjust the ball and hit the goal directly. The ball was blocked by Subotic with his body.

"Don't be fooled by the cold, concentrate!" Captain Kyle also reminded Schmelzer after the re-kick-off.

"Ok!"

It was not until the No.20 two minutes of the game that the slow Dortmund had an excellent chance to score.After Lin Tian received a direct pass from Perisic, he broke through from the right and knocked the ball across the goal. Lewandowski immediately stood up and shot.

Gradually adapting to the cold weather in Russia, the yellow and black army is also becoming more and more threatening to Rubin Kazan's goal.

In the 404th minute of the game, after Perisic and Lin Tian on the right side cooperated again, Perisic moved the ball horizontally to Shinji Kagawa's feet.

After 2 minutes, the deadlock on the field was finally broken.Kyle launched a counterattack in the backcourt. Gundogan received Kyle's through ball and then dribbled forward from the left. Lin Tian, ​​who switched to the left, outflanked Gundogan's left side.

1-0!

Dortmund break the deadlock!

After scoring the goal, Lewandowski also celebrated with his hands together, and it was also a Valentine's Day gift to his wife.

After the intermission, the second half continued.

Rubin Kazan also started a full-scale counterattack after falling behind by one goal, and the two sides also played very well against each other.In the back-and-forth attack on both sides, the game came to 10 and [-] minutes. Rubin Kazan used the steals in the frontcourt to launch a counterattack. Midfielder Ryazantsev sent a long pass from the left to the back point. Forward Nemov headed the ball to teammate Nelson Valdes in the middle. The latter jumped up and looked back at the moon.

1-1!

Ruby Kazan tenaciously equalized the score!

The big Russian brothers in the stands were also extremely excited, and there were even fans who took off their clothes to celebrate in this kind of weather.

But the game is not over, and the big Russian brothers are obviously happy too early.

A few minutes before the time to equalize the score, Dortmund opened the score again. Perisic broke through from the right and made a pass from the bottom.

2-1!

Dortmund continue to lead!

After another lead, Klopp also replaced Lewandowski and Shinji Kagawa, and then replaced Gross Kreuz and Goetze. Uncle Zha planned to consume the game time by holding the ball in the following time.

Although Rubin Kazan counterattacked tenaciously and tried to equalize the score again, but under the control of Dortmund's strong midfielder, they could only watch the time pass by.

In the end, the Yellow and Black Legion who went to Russia relied on the goals of Lewandowski and Lin Tian to win a small away game against the Kazan Rubin, whose strength should not be underestimated.
