Chapter 98

After winning the league game against Hannover 96, coach Klopp also praised the team after the game, especially the two backup defenders who can already play their own roles. Uncle Zha said in an interview:
"We won the game today without all the main players, but our opponents once caused us too much trouble, especially Yaconan, who came off the bench. So here I would like to give special praise to our defense. Before the game, I told them to prepare for this battle. I also saw their confidence in the game. They also proved their strength. Felipe Santana and Chris Lowe grew up very fast. I am looking forward to their future."

"I didn't give them any special tactical arrangements. All the people got an instruction, that is, the whole team needs to participate in defense together on the field, and press on the spot in every position on the field. They trust each other in the game and will not act alone. Everyone is making their own contribution, which is very important. And those crucial saves are also quite exciting. So we won the final victory."

"If I have to point out our shortcomings, I can only say that we gave the opponent too many opportunities. We conceded a goal, but this is not to blame the players. Yakonan's goal is indeed too tricky. Although we did not play our best performance, the most important thing is that we won the game and did not relax until the end."

The joy of winning the game made Uncle Zha talk a lot in the interview.

……

After a 3-1 victory, the Bundesliga's February schedule is all over, and the Dortmund players began to prepare for the next round after being excited.

A week of training and preparation is neither long nor short, but it passed quickly. The No.20 round of the Bundesliga is about to start. All members of Dortmund's first team are always preparing for this league game against Mainz.

The Yellow and Black Legion still sits at the Westfalenstadion to face Mainz in this round of the league, which also allows the fans of the home team to continue to enjoy the opportunity to cheer for the team.

In terms of lineup, Bender was suspended due to a yellow card in the last round of the game, so captain Kyle returned to the starting lineup after a round of rest, and the other main players of the team also returned.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels, Piszczek.

Back midfielder: Kyle.

Midfielder: Gundogan, Gotze.

Front waist: Shinji Kagawa.

Forwards: Lewandowski, Lin Tian.

For Mainz, captain Nowitzki replaced Kirchhoff, who was also suspended due to accumulative yellow cards, as the starting defender. In addition, the team changed to 4-1-4-1, with Szaloy at the forward position returning to the bench, Fati as the left back, and "Egyptian Zidane" Zidan starting against his old club.

This game is also a direct dialogue between Tuchel and Klopp, the old and new coaches of Mainz.In Lin Tian's memory, there are too many similarities in the coaching trajectories of the two. Both of them came to Dortmund after coaching Mainz.Klopp spent seven years in charge at Mainz before moving to Dortmund in 2008.And Tuchel also coached in Mainz for five years. After Klopp left Dortmund, Tuchel went to Dortmund to coach in the Yellow and Black Army for two years.

After the start of the game, Dortmund still continued its good form this season, and the yellow and black army with all the main players was naturally full of offensive.

After the initial trials, Dortmund also began to change the rhythm. The whole team pressed up to control the midfield and then put enough pressure on Mainz in the midfield and looked for opportunities to score.

After changing the rhythm, the Hornets soon scored the first goal. No. In 207 minutes, Gundogan passed the overhead ball in midfield. Shinji Kagawa unloaded the ball from his chest, turned around and got rid of the defender, inserted into the front of the penalty area on the right, and then volleyed the goal with his left foot. The ball was blocked by Nowitzki in the penalty area.

1-0!

The powerful striker combination is working again!
Lewandowski and Lin Tian high-five to celebrate!
Five minutes later, the Yellow and Black Army got another good chance.Shinji Kagawa succeeded on the spot in the frontcourt. After stealing the ball, Shinji Kagawa gave the ball to Goetze who was plugged in. Goetze dribbled the ball into the penalty area quickly from the right, and then crossed it to Lin Tian who was plugged in next to him.

No. 401 minutes, Mainz played a wonderful counterattack.The team's former Dortmund midfielder Zidan and forward Choupo Moting completed a wonderful two-for-one cooperation and then dribbled the ball to the right side of the small penalty area. After arriving in the penalty area, Zidan faced Weidenfeller who attacked directly.

After the intermission, Dortmund continued to start the second half with a score of 1-0.

After the game restarted, Mainz was also witty and wanted to catch Dortmund off guard for the last time. Choupo Moting kicked off the ball in the middle circle. Polanski passed it back to Zidan. With a strong left foot and a low shot, the goalkeeper Weidenfeller once again saved the day for the yellow and black army in front of the goal.

But only 3 minutes later, Dortmund retaliated. Perisic, who came off the bench after the intermission, made a breakthrough from the right and was intercepted by Nowitzki. Fortunately, Hummels next to him did not know when he got in. Perisic gave the ball to Hummels, and Hummels crossed to Shinji Kagawa who was unguarded. Kagawa rubbed his right foot lightly. A good chance to break.

As the field continued to come and go, the time also came to No. 805 minutes. Lin Tian was violated by a Mainz player in front of the right penalty area and fell to the ground. Dortmund won a free kick in an excellent position. This position was also within the range of Shinji Kagawa who took the free kick.

"Kagawa, can I try it?" Lin Tian picked up the ball and said to Shinji Kagawa who came forward.

"Will you come?"

"Ah."

"Okay then, try it."

"Thank you."

The team was in the lead, and Shinji Kagawa generously gave up the opportunity to take the penalty to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian unceremoniously picked up the ball and placed it on the penalty spot indicated by the referee, which was about 23 meters away from the goal.

After putting the ball away, Lin Tian took six steps back, took a deep breath and waited for the referee to indicate that he could make a free throw.

"beep!"

After the referee blew the whistle, Lin Tian ran up on tiptoe, concentrated all his strength on his right foot, and then touched the ball on the inside of the right instep. The ball drew an arc in the air, just like Lin Tian practiced on the system training ground every day.

2-0!

Lin Tian's direct free kick scored!

The perfect elevator ball!

Lin Tian also ran across the court with open arms to celebrate his first free kick in his life.
