Legendary Road

If you only look at the cards, assuming that the Stuttgart team in front of you is put in a few years, then their strength is definitely not inferior to any powerful team in the Bundesliga.

Stuttgart's starting lineup was finally released, and Yan Jing couldn't wait to read it carefully, and circled a few people who needed a lot of attention in this game - first of all, their leading shooter this season, Kai Wen. Kuranyi, the German has contributed 13 goals and 5 assists to Stuttgart in the Bundesliga that has ended this season. He is the absolute hero of Stuttgart's top ranking.

On the back line, they have the right back Lahm, who is on loan from Bayern Munich. Although the 21-year-old is young, he has a general style in the game. His stable and excellent performance this season has attracted many parties. Attention, including Bayern Munich who rented him out for training.

"Lars, how long does it take for the game to start?" Kyle put on the jersey three times, five times and two times. Seeing Yan Jing analyzing Stuttgart's starting list on the other side, he leaned into Riken's ear next to him. Asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't Yan announced the starting list? I saw him submit the list just now."

Rickon turned around and picked up the mobile phone in the closet with the spare jersey and glanced at the bright screen.

"There are still more than 30 minutes." Rickon threw the phone back into the closet, closed the closet door and leaned against it, closing his eyes and whispering, "I think it will be announced soon, after he finishes researching the list of Stuttgart."

Yan Jing’s eyes were attracted by a person on Stuttgart’s substitute list. He is also called Mario, but his surname is Gomez. He is only 19 years old. It is still unclear whether he will come off the bench in this game. Know.

The head coach of Stuttgart is Sammer, who was fired by Dortmund's top management last season.

Putting away the roster, Yan Jing's voice immediately shut up some players who were discussing quietly: "Okay, guys, now announce the starting lineup for this game."

"Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, defense Dede, Fernandez, Warnes and Metzelder, midfielder Otto, Rosicky, Kyle, Klinger, Regambino... Center Jan Kohler."

As soon as the list came out, Kyle subconsciously glanced at Rickon, who was not selected. There was some disappointment, but he didn't see any injustice in Rickon's eyes. He just quietly accepted Yan Jing's deployment.

"Before I have carefully informed each of you about the tactical deployment, I don't think I need to repeat it again?"

Yan Jing's attire is not much different from the past, except that the original light apricot tie has been replaced by a yellow and black tie with horizontal stripes and diagonal stripes - this is a gift from Gotze on Christmas Eve, saying it is to thank He took himself to London to play in return, by the way as a Christmas present.

Yan Jing did not wear this tie in the previous games, but Gotze expressed his dissatisfaction after the game, and said that this tie was specially customized by him, and it cost him a full month of pocket money.

Yan Jing immediately appeased the little fat man, saying that he would definitely live up to his wishes in the next game and would wear this tie to play.

Time flies by, the originally empty Westfalenstadion has been packed full of Dortmund fans, and all kinds of slogans and flags supporting the team have also been hung, written on the 1934th anniversary of the club in 25 The team song Wirhaltenfestundtreuzusammen (We are firm and loyal together) is a regular warm-up song for Dortmund before the game. Nearly [-] fans in the stadium have already begun to sing this cheerful team song.

Yan Jing took the lead from the locker room to the player tunnel, and the players from Stuttgart had already arrived on the other side. Yan Jing glanced casually, and their main goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand was standing with Lahm and whispering. talking about something.

Dortmund's players also appeared under the leadership of captain Metzelder, which aroused the attention of the Stuttgart players. They secretly glanced at Yan Jing who passed by him-hey, this head coach is really young talk!

There was not much chatter between the players of the two teams. The enthusiastic atmosphere in the stadium had already put their emotions into the upcoming game. With the high-pitched triumphant march, the referee group standing at the front of the team began to lead the two teams Team members enter.

Dicker is still in charge of the live commentary for this game. His partner Feyer had to rest for a few weeks because of a sore throat: "From the perspective of the starting list, Dortmund's formation for this game is 4-5-1, played by Jan. Kohler as lone striker... let's see the ball first!"

Dicker's introduction hadn't finished when Kuranyi from Stuttgart interrupted him with a light pass.

Before Yan Jing's chair was warmed up, he had to get up and go to the sidelines to direct the unsteady back line: "Dede! Pay attention to the players they are pressing up on!"

Dede, who was acting as the left back, took a look, and the small right back from Stuttgart, who looked like a high school student, had quickly pressed up. Uh, this guy seems to be called Ram or something?

Looking at Ram's figure, Dede didn't think the opponent's explosive power and absolute speed were strong. He focused on intercepting Kuranyi who was forward with the ball. After all, this guy is the biggest threat to Dortmund.

There are more and more defensive players concentrated in the middle in front of him. Kuranyi, who does not intend to do it alone, passes the ball to Ram who is on the top. Dede turned his head and saw that there was a large gap on the side where Ram was, and immediately gave up on Kuranyi. Lan Yi's pincer attack quickly rushed back to the wing.

Highball?Bottom cross?

Yan Jing on the sidelines couldn't judge Lahm's next move in an instant, and Dede, who was in the game, couldn't make a decision immediately. It was just this momentary hesitation that directly led to Dede's decision. The shovel was a step slower, and Lahm had already sent the ball to the penalty area one step ahead of him.

"Ram chose to pass the ground ball!" Dicker sounded more nervous than anyone else, "Oh, Kuranyi has plugged in..."

Metzelder, who was in charge of marking Kuranyi, did not dare to stretch his feet rashly, which allowed Kuranyi in the penalty area to have space to kick the ball towards the goal.

Stuttgart's No. [-] striker, the Brazilian Cacao, was already near the goal and ready to fight for points. Although Warnes was paying attention to Cacao's actions, he couldn't get stuck in any position, and he couldn't compete for the top when he took off. to the first landing point.

Facing the flying ball, Kakao shook his head vigorously and attacked the goal. The ball changed its flight trajectory and accelerated to the far corner of the goal. Although Dortmund's young goalkeeper Weidenfeller had predicted the direction of the ball and tried his best to reach it , but helplessly the ball rubbed his glove and escaped from his control, and fell straight into the net.

"Stuttgart's Kakau scored, the score is 0-1." Dicker's voice was muffled, as if someone put a knife on his neck and forced him to say, "Let's look at the replay, Stuttgart's right back Lahm The ground ball finds Kuranyi in the penalty area, Kuranyi kicks in a cross, and Kakau in front of the goal beats Vaughan and shakes his head... oh, what the hell."

The Stuttgart players were celebrating the goals they scored shortly after the start of the game, while Yan Jing from the sidelines looked up at the big screen. It was only the 15th minute of the opening. 0-1 is a delicate score, which is not enough at all To kill the suspense of the game, they still have a lot of opportunities.

The most important thing at present is to get the players who lost the ball to put their minds in order, and don't be in a mess just because of this goal. Yan Jing shouted at the field: "Warnes, concentrate on marking!"

The loud cheers in the Westfalenstadion made it impossible for Warnes to hear what Yan Jing was saying to him, but Yan Jing only needed to let him know what he really said to him, and the rest depended on He understands it himself.

The U16 players who formed a team in the South Stand to watch the game were beating their chests and feet because they lost the ball. The most exaggerated one was Thomas Muller. Lars Bender leaned against him like a fish, looking as if he was dying.

Sven Bender on the other side saw Müller lying on his brother's shoulder, leaned over and whispered softly in Müller's ear with a smile: "Thomas, didn't you say that you have always been a Bayern Munich fan? "

Sven Bender's voice made Muller, who had closed his eyes and enjoyed it, tremble suddenly. He opened his eyes and looked at the other party, thinking to himself, "Sven, a guy who loves brothers, will definitely be black when cut." Seriously: "Ahem, now I find that Dortmund's football is also very good, eh!"

However, Lars Bender, who was one of the parties involved, did not pay attention to the two around him at all. A quick counterattack by Dortmund had already attracted all his attention.

Fernandez steals the ball from Andres Sikor in the backcourt, and quickly kicks the ball to find the midfielder Kyle who is rushing to meet him. At this time, Jan Kohler, who was dangling near the center line, suddenly turned around and started towards Stuttgart at high speed. Run at halftime.

Stuttgart's defense naturally couldn't let Jan Kohler do whatever he wanted, they ran up to intercept, but Kyle did not choose to make a long pass from the backcourt to find Jan Kohler, but handed the ball to Rosicky in front.

"Rosicky took the ball and rushed forward! Jan Kohler's run just now has opened up a large area for him!" Dicker's voice immediately became energetic when he saw Dortmund had a good chance to counterattack, "Stuttgart's defenders still Not in place, this is a good opportunity!"

Dribbling has always been Rosicky's forte, as he dribbled the ball while watching Jan Kohler running around in the penalty area and driving defenders to interfere with their positioning.

There were not many people in the penalty area. When Rosicky ran to the front of the penalty area, he did not choose the previous cross, but swung his legs and slammed the ball with the back of his foot.

"Rosicky chose to shoot directly!"

Yan Jing's heart accelerated along with the tens of thousands of Dortmund fans, and the ball hit the goal at high speed.

"boom!"

His own door frame refused to let the ball in.
