[Football] Crown of Thorns

9月28日晚20：45分，2011-2012赛季欧冠小组赛展开了第二轮争夺。

Group F, Marseille vs Dortmund at home.

Gama stared at the TV, watching his teammates standing on the lawn, their heads held high, ready to fight.

He felt a little unhappy, more envious.

As a professional player, who wouldn't want to play in the Champions League, especially in such a big scene, the feeling of being able to score an opponent's goal under the gaze of tens of thousands of people must be like a flying fairy!

Touching the bag on his head, he didn't feel dizzy in the past two days, but under the doctor's bed observation order, it is impossible for the team doctor to prescribe a small note for him to resume training or play, alas, the national team The same is true for Bian, because it is a head problem, even if he had an MRI head examination, the team doctor of the national team is the same as the team doctor of the club, and dare not easily issue a medical certificate to allow him to play.

"what happened?"

Agostinho, who ate one fruit after another, kept his mouth open, asking questions with spittle flying from the fruit in his mouth.

Gama was completely helpless to the manager who was always vulgar in front of him, "I just think I'm fine, and I should be able to play."

"Hehe," the manager uncle hummed, "You want to abolish yourself?"

"It's not that serious."

"Don't even think about it," Agostinho rolled his eyes, "I don't feel relieved if you don't pay attention to your body. Besides, the opponent is Marseille, and Dortmund should not fail to play. Anyway, there will be another game when we return to home. After all, it’s not a big problem whether you make it today or not.”

"...That's the big problem, okay?"

Gama muttered something in a low voice, then turned his attention back to the TV.

In the first round of the Group F group stage, Borussia Dortmund defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home, while Marseille won Olympiacos 1-0 away.

Today's game is also the first confrontation between Dortmund and Marseille in history, but both of them seemed to be in poor condition before the Champions League match. As the defending Bundesliga champion, Dortmund is currently only ranked 8th in the Bundesliga, Marseille is even worse. They are currently only ranked 13th in Ligue [-], so this game has also been dubbed "a confrontation between down-and-out giants" by the outside world.

Although it is only a group match, it is also a game that determines whether the two sides can take the initiative to qualify for the group. Therefore, both sides of the game sent their main teams to play today.

"Speaking of which, Marseille has Luis Gonzalez in the lineup, and it is not so easy to beat them."

Gama stared at the players on the TV screen. The game had just started when Dortmund's Shinji Kagawa fouled Marseille's Diarra. Marseille won the first free kick.

Agostinho, who was eating happily, looked up at the TV, "Luis Gonzalez, he is pretty good. Although he is not very well-known among Argentine players, his skills Very delicate and beautiful, he is a striker with a very good scoring efficiency."

Hearing his manager's comment, Jia Ma was taken aback for a moment, "You know him?"

Agostinho rolled his eyes at him, "You just said that Marseille has him in the lineup."

Gama coughed, "Actually, Mr. Klopp said that."

"Hehe~"

The uncle manager curled his lips mockingly, "I knew it was impossible for you to understand him."

"Come on, talk like you know him well."

Gama who was being ridiculed retorted angrily.

Agostinho said twice, "Luis Gonzalez transferred from Argentina to Porto in Portugal in 2005. He played in Porto for four years before moving to Marseille. Do you think I know? By the way Let me just say, you are the Black Panther youth training!"

What he said made Jia Ma scratch his head, and he smirked awkwardly.

Although his fat uncle is a black-hearted agent, he can't tell it usually, but Agostinho is indeed a fan of Boavista, a loyal fan who is a registered member. For Porto, the club's rival in the same city, of course It is also quite understanding, the so-called knowing the other!

Agostinho, who was chatting, stared at the picture on the TV for a few seconds, and then sighed with emotion.

"He's aged a lot!"

"Who?"

"Luis Gonzalez," memories flashed in the fat man's eyes, "I remember he was called the club's top scorer when he was in Porto. Speaking of which, I still remember that it was in the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League. , in the group match against Hamburg, he scored a goal which was regarded as one of the best goals in the group match. Later I heard that many European clubs wanted him, but he turned them all down instead. Moved to Marseille in Ligue [-]..." Having said this, Agostinho frowned, "But I seem to have heard a rumor recently that he is planning to return to Porto."

"Huh, really?"

Gama turned around curiously.

Agostinho thought for a while and nodded, "I've heard it mentioned by friends in the industry, but the specific situation is still unclear."

"It's not long since the season started!"

"So it may be the winter break to transfer, but," Agostinho looked up at the TV, "Dortmund had a bad start!"

Jia Ma quickly turned his head to look over.

In the 7th minute of the opening, Balbuena won a corner kick for Marseille.

For a corner kick in the middle, Ayou leaped high and headed for the goal, but unfortunately the ball failed to control the direction and went higher than the goal.

Judging from the few minutes of playing, Marseille, which has home court advantage, is quite aggressive in attacking, faintly suppressing Dortmund.

In the next few minutes, it was always Marseille's offense, and Dortmund was pressed to halftime and could not attack.

The game went on until the 18th minute of the first half before Dortmund finally launched a counterattack.

Get it from the backcourt and pass it to Goetze's feet. Goetze turned around and gave the ball to Schmelzer. Schmelzer kept up with the long shot and the ball missed the post.

One minute later, Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda blocked the ball after Gotze's anti-offside was successful.

Gama slapped his leg in disappointment, "Mario is an idiot, the angle of the shot is too straight."

"No, it should be said that the opponent blocked the angle, and he can only choose this angle to shoot."

"In short, Mario is too stupid."

Gama said seriously.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard the sharp shout of the commentator from the TV, "No, this ball is dangerous!!!"

The two quickly looked over and saw the beautiful cooperation of Marseille's Balbuena and Luis Gonzalez on the screen, and then Remy transferred the ball to Ayew's feet. The Ghanaian shot with his left foot and the ball went into the bottom corner of the goal. Marseille 1 Leading to 0.

"Marseille scored, and at the same time it was the first Champions League goal for the Ghanaian Ayew..."

The narrator began to interpret the barabala of the ball there, and the two people watching the ball here were already dumbfounded.

"It actually went in."

Gamaduran.

Agostinho rested his fat hand on his chin, "Just now Dortmund made a mistake in defense and got out of position."

"Well, the replacement was not in time."

"It looks like Dortmund didn't play well today!"

Jia Ma ignored the fat man's teasing. He shook hands nervously and watched his teammates play.

In the 28th minute, Dortmund got a free kick. Schmelzer's corner kick was not cleared away. Hummels made a long shot from the front of the penalty area to meet the ball, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher.

In the 36th minute, Marseille launched an attack, and Ayew tried to shoot again near the goal point just now, but this time the ball was firmly saved by Weidenfeller.

In the 41st minute, Nkuru tried to grab a header, but was whistled for a foul by goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

At the end of the first half, with Ayew's goal, Marseille temporarily leads Dortmund 1-0.

I didn't feel anything during the game, but watching my teammates on TV was really nervous. It wasn't until the whistle sounded at the end of the first half that Gama let out a long breath.

"very nervous?"

The uncle manager on the side also asked in a joking tone.

Gama rubbed his forehead, "I'm really nervous."

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 50th minute, after Lewandowski intercepted the ball from Diarra, he passed it to Gross Kreuz, who then passed it to Gotze, whose shot in the penalty area had already swayed Mandanda. , but his shot was blocked by the post.

"Damn it, Mario's shooting skills are too bad!"

Gama yelled.

"Hey, don't be so excited, the doctor wants you to rest."

Agostinho hastened to reassure him.

One minute later, it was Gotze's shot again. He shot a long shot in the center of the penalty area, but the ball was blocked by Mandanda with his foot.

"Depend on……"

Jia Ma beat the bed speechlessly.

Lewandowski misses the goal.

Hummels received a yellow card for a foul.

"It's too messy, the midfield adjustment is not in place..."

Agostinho criticized.

Jia Ma heheed twice, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, it's just that they don't seem to know how to play football without you on the field."

"I really have a big face when I say that."

Gama complained.

Agostinho was very serious, "Don't underestimate yourself, there is really a big difference between having you on the court and not having you on the court."

"Hehe~"

Gama ignored his flattery.

Looking at the disapproving expression of Gama, the biggest player under his banner, Agoshti was speechless—where did the arrogant kid who dared to bargain with me go? Why did he not understand his current status in the arena? Woolen cloth!

In the final analysis, the pool here in Dortmund is too shallow, so that Gama can't feel how high his level is.

Agostinho thought it was time to change Gama's place.

However, he glanced at Jia Ma, who was watching the game seriously, so it's better not to tell him yet, let's talk about it when the time comes!

In the 62nd minute, Hummels made a header error and the ball was caught by Remy. After taking the ball, the French striker quickly and powerfully shot towards the goal post.

Marseille lead 2-0.

Gama bit his lower lip involuntarily.

In the 69th minute, Remy was tripped by Kyle in the penalty area, and the referee took a penalty kick. Ayew easily tricked the goalkeeper and scored.

Marseille lead 3-0.

In the 70th minute, Gotze's shot in the penalty area was once again resolved by Mandanda.

In the 76th minute, Gotze took a corner kick, and Kuba shot from the edge of the penalty area, but it was too high.

In the 88th minute, Barrios scored a header and was cleared.

In the 90th minute, Ayou accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.

With the whistle of the referee, the game ended. With Ayew's brace, Marseille beat Dortmund 3-0 at home and won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.

Jia Ma stared blankly at the frustrated teammates on TV, he couldn't believe such a result at all.

"I just said they played too messily."

Agostinho muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Gama became a little irritable.

Looking at his face, the fat man shrugged, "Okay, I'll shut up."

Throwing himself on the bed, Gama covered his eyes and remained silent.

Seeing his dejected look, Agostinho shook his head, turned to look at Joanna who pushed the door, and made a quiet gesture to her.

Joanna nodded, and quietly backed out.
