"Mathias, can you tell us your opinion on Arsenal's starting list?"

"Judging from the list, today Arsenal is a typical 451 formation," Summer said, "For Arsenal, player injuries have a great impact on them, such as Rosicky, Ramsey, Vermaelen And Wilshere are both absent due to injury, I think this is also the biggest problem for coach Wenger to adjust the players used in today's game, of course, it is good that Alexander Song, Benayoun and Gervinho can play this pair of Arsenal It’s a great addition to the lineup…”

"Hello, audience friends, fans, what you are watching now is the first round of the 2011-2012 Champions League group stage group F, between Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, and we will broadcast the game live for you at the Westfalenstadion... ..."

"My partner just now, today's guest Sammer talked about the situation of the visiting team Arsenal, so let's take a look at the starting team of the home team Dortmund——

Goalkeeper: 1- Weidenfeller

Defenders: 26-Pishcheck, 4-Subotic, 15-Hummels, 29-Schmelzer

中场：5-凯尔、22-斯文-本德、11-格策、8-加马、19-格罗斯克罗伊茨

Forward: 9- Lewandowski

Judging from the list, it seems that Dortmund is also 451? "

"Well, it does seem so. Dortmund also have a lineup of 451."

"Then Mathias, can you tell me?"

This question made Sammer pause for a moment before speaking, "In this game, Gotze, who was suspended for Dortmund in the league, returned, and their captain Kyle also returned to the starting list. From my personal point of view, I think It's nice to see them..."

The players have already walked out of the channel, and the TV screen has turned to the scene. The referee took the ball for the game from the tee where the football was placed, and the referee team led the players from both sides into the field.

After the brief ceremony before and after the game, the players from both sides were already standing on the court, waiting for the game to start.

"The game is on!"

As the referee sounded the opening whistle, the visiting team kicked off in the middle circle immediately launched an attack.

Arteta dribbled the ball forward quickly, and then passed the ball to the wing. Walcott received the ball and advanced very quickly, but then he was tackled by Dortmund's Hummels with a strong tackle. And blocked successfully.

The little tiger lost his center of gravity due to inertia and fell to the ground. The Arsenal players raised their hands to signal their opponents to foul, but the referee ignored their protest, and the fans booed wildly, and some fans even shouted loudly. The sound of 'diving and flopping'.

The goalkeeper Weidenfeller took the tackled ball. He walked to the goal line with the ball and shouted loudly, signaling his teammates to pay attention to his position. Then he threw the ball into the middle of the road.

Dortmund launched a counterattack. Gama gently pushed the falling football forward with his chest, and then picked up the football with his right foot to change the line. Ross Kreutz caught the ball on the left side of the penalty area and hit the goal directly, but his shot went over the bar.

Although they failed to score a goal, the fans of the home team gave their players warm applause.

Gross Kreutz was slightly disappointed, but luckily the game had just started and there was still a long time, so he turned his head and gave Gama a thumbs up.

Jia Ma smiled and immediately backed away.

But then Arsenal also had a great opportunity.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Arsenal quickly passed the ball to the Dortmund half. The Dortmund players, who were alarmed by the opponent's extremely fast counterattack, made a major defensive mistake in the penalty area. The defender kicked the ball to the Arsenal player when he intercepted. At Gervinho's feet, Gervinho immediately kicked and shot, but the goalkeeper Weidenfeller he faced reacted very quickly and threw forward to interfere with his kick. Gervinho was about to change direction and shoot again At the time, the ball was stabbed away by Dortmund defender Piszczek and the siege was successfully cleared, while Gervinho missed an excellent shot opportunity.

Gervinho shook his head in disappointment.

The fans of the home team let out an exclamation followed by a sigh of relief.

"Only 6 minutes into the game, the two sides have already entered into a fierce confrontation!"

"Yes, judging from the few minutes of the game, although it was an away game, the Arsenal players were very active after the opening game, especially Walcott and Gervinho were very active on the two wings..."

"Fast counterattack from Dortmund!!!"

Gama, who took the ball, advanced the ball into the visiting team's half and then distributed the ball to the left space. Lewandowski, who inserted from behind, lifted his leg and shot. Unfortunately, his ball was still high.

Lewandowski rubbed his face and also gave Gama a thumbs up.

"Gama's performance is really getting better and better."

"Yeah, I think that when he first transferred, many people wondered why Mr. Klopp spent a lot of money to buy him with a small transfer fee, especially because he did not perform well in the warm-up match. On the contrary, Kagawa Shinji, who was transferred at the same time and played the same position as him, performed better, but Gama's performance as the season started was impressive."

"Yes, Gama is a player. I remember I commented on him before. He is talented and willing to train hard. He is a young man who works hard on the court and is quiet off the court. I personally admire him very much..."

On the pitch, it was Dortmund's offense.

Svenbender and Gama played a two-for-one match, and then Gama passed the ball back to the captain Kyle, but Kyle, who had been out of battle for a long time, made a mistake when receiving the ball and was almost intercepted by his opponent. Fortunately, Schmelzer behind him took the first step to block the ball and then passed the ball to the front. After receiving the ball, Gama turned around and passed it.

The football flew to Gotze's feet.

Gotze dribbled the ball forward a few steps to bypass the opponent and then cut in. It was Lewandowski who grabbed the point again, and then broke into the right side of the penalty area to hit the goal.

However, his shot was cleared by Arsenal's Sagna on the goal line.

Szesny's goal-line kick flew out and was stopped by Gama halfway and then returned immediately. Gross Kreutz shot from a long distance and the ball went above the crossbar.

Next came Arsenal's quick counterattack.

The winger Walcott dribbled the ball and changed the line and was knocked down by Hummels in the penalty area. The referee signaled the game to continue because the football flew to the other side and was picked up by the Arsenal players. The attack continued .Arteta made another pass, Van Persie received the ball, and he collided with Dortmund defender Subotic.

Dortmund scuffled in the restricted area, Van Persie and Subotic fell to the ground at the same time.

However, the referee did not think that the action of the two sides was a foul. Some angrily Van Persie thumped the ground and then got up.

The game lasted less than 10 minutes in the first half, but the players from both sides were already fighting fiercely on the court.

Although dissatisfied with the referee's decision, Van Persie just lowered his head and muttered a few words in a low voice before turning and walking away.

At this time, the referee stopped him.

It can be seen from the pulled-in camera that Van Persie had a look of surprise on his face, and then he had a strange expression on his face and looked sideways at his arm-it turned out that his captain's armband was missing.

The referee returned Van Persie's captain's armband which he had picked up from the ground.

Hahaha laughter sounded in the stadium.

Van Persie couldn't help but smile while tying the armband on his originally sullen face.

"This is the game, intense and fun, isn't it?"

"Yes."

In the 32nd minute of the first half, when Arsenal attacked, Gibbs hit the football in the hands of Dortmund player Piszczek when passing the ball in the penalty area. Although he raised his hand to signal the opponent's handball, the referee indicated that it was unintentional. Handball, the game continues.

After the ball was intercepted by Arsenal, Benayoun made a clever pass to Van Persie. The Dutchman volleyed the goal from the left side of the penalty area, and his shot was saved by Weidenfeller.

This save was so beautiful, the fans in the stadium screamed, thankful and happy.

Not to be outdone, Dortmund also launched a counterattack immediately, but the football was headed out by Mersacker. Koscielny handed the football to the frontcourt with a long pass. Erce blocked it with his body.

The flying ball landed in front of Gama. Gama quickly grabbed the ball and hooked it with his back foot. He ran an arc and broke forward from the right and then made a pass from the bottom. The ball was caught by Lewandoffs. When Kee got it, he saw no chance. He passed the ball to the back point. Gama volleyed forward. The ball hit the Arsenal goalkeeper Szesny and bounced off. The ball, Gervinho who was holding the ball, rushed towards Dortmund's half, and he passed the ball after half time, the football was flying in the air, and Piszczek, who was running from the middle, intercepted the football halfway and passed it immediately. Gama pushed his chest forward one meter and then kicked his legs. The football flew over Lewandowski again, and his header was embraced by Szczesny.

The attack of this period was temporarily over, and the tense atmosphere made everyone's suffocated breath finally spit out, and the exclamation of wow finally came out.

"Wow, I'm so nervous~~~"

"I can't breathe~~"

"Yeah, yeah, the coming and going between the two sides in the past few minutes is really too intense, I can't even breathe..."

"Yes, yes, it is true that Arsenal and Dortmund are the main technical players. I don't know what to say when the game is so tense..."

Jia Ma, who was standing near the middle circle, put his hands on his waist, panting heavily.

The game against Arsenal made him feel completely different from the Bundesliga style. He was nervous, fierce, and the counterattack was so fast that it was too late to react. He could only stare at the ball instinctively. Can't keep up.

"I rely on!"

Gama let out a breath silently.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he stared at his opponent in red and white pants. Well, I admit that you guys are really good, but I won't give up so easily.

The game continues.

With less than 3 minutes before the end of the first half, Dortmund captain Kyle made another coordination error. Van Persie tackled Kyle's cross in the midfield and quickly got up and strode forward. Ercott ran a beautiful through ball with the ball, and Van Persie succeeded in countering offside against the attacking Weidenfeller on the edge of the penalty area with a rubbing shot with his right foot and scored.

0 to 1, Arsenal broke the deadlock and temporarily took the lead with one goal.

Gama sighed, and looked back at Kyle. Kyle, who was standing over there, looked at the Arsenal players who were celebrating a goal with a serious face. The cooperation didn't seem to have a tacit understanding. The ball just now was indeed Kyle's mistake.

But... Just when Gama was about to go over and say something, Weidenfeller ran over and hugged Kyle's shoulder comfortingly, whispered a few words to him, and then ran back to the goal.

Jia Ma couldn't help smiling, and glanced sideways at Svend, who was standing not far from him.

Sven, who noticed Jia Ma's gaze, grinned at Jia Ma, and opened his mouth to make a 'no problem'.

Smiling softly, Gama looked up at the sky, then turned to look at the opposite goal.
