Perfect Center

Chapter 118 The strongest debut!

Borussia Mönchengladbach found opportunities to counterattack amid Dortmund's wave of attacks.

Shinji Kagawa was double-teamed by Johnson and Nordveit while dribbling the ball in the frontcourt, but he managed to intercept the ball.

Johnson poked the ball out, and Nordveit made a diagonal pass in the first place!
Traore raised his foot to stop the ball. Facing the average defense of Gundogan, he broke away and drove straight into the goal!

"The ball was intercepted!"

"Borussia Mönchengladbach's counterattack opportunity! Pass the ball! The ball comes to Traore's feet!"

“Any chance of scoring a goal?”

Traore looked up and observed for a moment, then sent a pass to Hoffman who was sharp enough to run to the wing!

Hoffman made a passing gesture and shook off Park Joo-ho who was pressing him.

He pushed the ball forward with force again, and with his full energy he shook off Park Joo-ho's pull.

"Oh! That's a beautiful breakthrough!"

"Hoffman is very familiar with Park Joo-ho's defensive habits! He showed his sharp ability against his old club Dortmund!"

"Hoffman performed well in Dortmund in the first half of the Bundesliga! He transferred to Monchengladbach for 8 million this winter! This is also his first game for Monchengladbach!"

"Will he be a surprise player for Monchengladbach when he comes on as a substitute?"

Hoffman dribbled the ball near the baseline, and Hummels pressed forward decisively!

Hoffmann pretended to cross the ball, but actually dribbled the ball, trying to shake Hummels' center of gravity.

As the captain of Dortmund and an experienced central defender, Hummels did not lose his balance rashly.

With the cheers of the whole audience!

Hoffman pretended to break through to the inside, then suddenly pushed his right foot outward to speed up!
He opened his arms to hold off Hummels, sped up again, and broke into the penalty area!

The whole audience burst into applause!

"It's so good!"

"While Hummels was stunned, Hoffman rushed over!"

"Hummels reacted quickly and pressed Hoffman, but he didn't dare to move too much because he was in the penalty area after all!"

Hoffman knew that if he dragged on, he would lose the ball sooner or later.

So he chose to pass the ball directly.

"No feints, just kick the ball and pass it!"

"The angle of the football was not very good, it went towards the goal!"

"The trajectory of this cross ball looks like Burki can pick it up directly!"

"Eh?? Burki made a mistake! He jumped high but failed to catch the ball! Now the back post is empty!"

Burki looked at the football coming towards him, and he jumped lightly trying to pick it up!
However, he didn't expect that the path of the football changed slightly, making him unable to catch the football!
"Schjendel is stuck by Papa!"

"But Monchengladbach's other striker! Rafael! is making a fierce run at the back post!"

“Not offside at all!”

"Facing the football coming towards him! Will Rafael stop the ball before shooting? Piszczek is already chasing behind him!"

"Now or never!"

"Raphael! Just fall to the ground and shoot!"

Facing the slowly falling football, Rafael's eyes were focused. He threw his whole body out and shot the ball on the ground!

With a bang, Raphael hit the target!
The football is like a bullet fired from a gun!
It bounced straight into the upper corner near the goal!
Burki adjusted quickly after his mistake, but he was still powerless in the face of this bullet-like shot!
He raised his hands and watched the football rush into the net!
1-5! ! !

Borussia Mönchengladbach fought hard to score a goal!
"Beautiful! Hoffman's cross! The quality is not very high, but it accidentally caused goalkeeper Burki to make a mistake!"

"Rafael rushed in from the back and was not offside this time! He scored with a direct shovel shot! He tenaciously pulled one back!"

"You can hear the entire Borussia Park Stadium encouraging every player on the field with the high-spirited and passionate team song!"
-
【A very beautiful goal! 】
-
[Assist from Hoffman! He just transferred from Dortmund to Monchengladbach in the winter window and performed very well as a substitute! I suggest buying him back! ]
-
[Hamburg lost to Bayern 1-2 yesterday! Longo scored an own goal! Dortmund scored a lot of goals in this game! ]
-
[Lewandowski, the former Polish striker of the Hornets, seems to be able to kill anyone who stands in his way at Bayern Munich! ]
-
[Dortmund has a lot of points behind Bayern, so they can’t miss any of the games in the second half! ]

After Rafael and Hoffmann high-fived, they ran back to the center circle with Schyendel who picked up the football, and waved their hands towards the Borussia Mönchengladbach goal in the stands around them.

As the game was coming to an end, they were still hoping to score another goal.

Borussia Mönchengladbach fans looked at the time on the big screen and lamented that time always passes quickly.

However, although they hope the team will continue to score goals, they are also afraid of conceding another goal at the last minute!
On the side of the court, Schubert took a big gulp of mineral water and shouted to the players on the green field: "Don't let Dortmund catch the opportunity of a fast break! You did a good job on this ball! Great job!" Tuchel on the other side remained expressionless. It was just one goal, not a big problem. He gestured towards the field, signaling the players not to take it to heart and focus on the next time.

The game continues.

Weigl controlled the court in the backcourt, calmly passing the ball to the players in the midfield and backcourt, while the players in the frontcourt kept running and creating space.

Ninety minutes into the game.

The fourth official had already raised the injury time sign near the center circle: "Three minutes!"

Weigl made several key long passes in this game.

“Excellent long pass!”

"Weigel once again seized the gap left by Monchengladbach's backcourt! Hinteregger and Christensen didn't work well together!"

Snapped!
The football took off from the ground!

Accurately found Mkhitaryan!

Mkhitaryan is not slow and has excellent footwork.

Facing the veteran Stranzl who came on as a substitute, Mkhitaryan changed direction and accelerated without any moral ethics, eating Stranzl alive!

"Mkhitaryan! He broke through Stranzl's defense directly and forcefully!"

"A skillful wall pass! And Shinji Kagawa's one-two!"

"Mkhitaryan! Cut inside!"

"Get out of the way! Xia Han is pulling at Monchengladbach's defense! Mkhitaryan! Is he going to shoot himself?"

"A flash of cold light!"

Bang!
Mkhitaryan shoots hard!
The football rushed straight into Borussia Mönchengladbach’s goal with gusts of wind!

Swiss goalkeeper Sommer is very focused!

"right!"

His eyes moved and he leaped sideways with all his might!
The white gloves were like a giant hand covering the sky, directly strangling Mkhitaryan's shot!

After Sommer saved the shot, he had no time to encourage his teammates and entered combat readiness mode again!
"Sommer! Door God!"

"Super save! The ball was blocked! But it didn't fly far!"

"Ginter, who keeps running on the right side, controls the ball!"

"This season, he was transformed by Tuchel and placed at the right back position! He has strong offensive attributes! He is a very typical full-back who is strong in attack but weak in defense!"

"He played as a midfielder in this game. He is a versatile player!"

Ginter stopped the ball steadily. Although the ball was lost because of the interception by Shinji Kagawa, his failure to stop the opponent's advancement was also one of the reasons for the goal.

He wants to help the team score another goal!
Without hesitation, Ginter kicked the football hard with his right foot!
"Kick the ball and pass it!"

"The quality of the cross is very high! This route! The goalkeeper can't get it! And it's very difficult for the defenders to clear it! It can easily lead to an own goal!"

"Aubameyang's fierce forward run! Can he score his first goal of the game?"

The eyes of the audience were all fixed on the flight path of the football. The hearts of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans were in their throats, and Dortmund fans were not to be outdone, hoping to score another goal!
"Aubameyang! Failed to get to the front point!"

"Hintereg leaped high! Eh? Misjudgment! He missed the top!"

“A familiar plot!”

"Later point!"

"Xia Han!"

Xia Han’s figure appeared in the camera!
Christensen failed to block Xia Han, but was blocked by Xia Han instead. Xia Han kicked the grass hard and it was like pulling an onion out of dry land!

boom!
Accurately judge the moment when the football falls!

Xia Han headed the ball heavily!

Sommer clenched his white gloves into fists!
Jump sideways!
I failed to block it again this time!

The football flew over the white barrier and rushed into the goal, lifting the net high!
1-6! ! !

Xia Han's big four!!!
