Perfect Center

Chapter 123 Ingolstadt is coming!

A blink of an eye.

Bundesliga match day is here.

Dortmund will face Ingolstadt at the Westfalenstadion.

Ingolstadt's club bus slowly drove into the Westfalenstadion.

As a newly promoted team, Ingolstadt has performed well in the Bundesliga this season. In the last round, they won Mainz 1-0 and moved up to tenth place in the standings.

During the winter transfer window, the team made signings, bringing in Paraguayan international striker Lescano for a transfer fee of 250 million euros.

Bild said that Lescano has become famous for his header, and Bundesliga referees should be careful. Lescano gave the referee a red card in the Swiss Super League 3-3 draw with Grasshoppers, and was eventually suspended for eight games.

The team's defensive stalwart Huebner was also rated by Kicker as an international-level central defender in the first half of the Bundesliga.

They will use active running during the game to make up for the shortcomings of the defense.

At the pre-match press conference.

The head coaches of both teams, Tuchel and Hasenhüttl, greeted each other politely.

Hasenhüttl answered questions from media reporters actively.

"We will face a strong opponent who are in great form, as we can see from the 6-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the last round!"

"In this game, we will try our best to get a point! We must do better on the defensive end!"

"Our performance in the first half of this season exceeded many people's expectations, and our victory over Mainz in the second half also gave the players confidence!"

"Lescano has integrated into the team, Roger and Huebner have performed well and will contribute in this game!"

On the other side, Tuchel also began to answer questions from media reporters.

"Ingolstadt is a tough opponent!"

"They are already in tenth place in the standings, but we will not be afraid, we will face this game with a serious attitude!"

In the players tunnel.

The players from both sides greeted each other in a friendly manner.

Xia Han and Weigl were still discussing the tactics arranged by Tuchel.

On the other side, Paraguayan international Lescano looked at the green field with eager eyes, looking forward to scoring his first goal in Ingolstadt against Dortmund.

Inside the Westfalen Stadium at this moment.

Dortmund fans gathered into a yellow and black ocean, with a huge roar and flying flags!
The South Stand is the largest single-sided stand in Europe.

The cheers of the Hornets fans completely suppressed the cheers of Ingolstadt's away fans.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!!"

“Welcome to watch the 2015th round of the Bundesliga in the 16/19 season!”

"Dortmund vs. Ingolstadt at home!"

"This is also Xia Han's first game at home! It will attract a lot of attention!"

“You can see that the Westfalenstadion is packed with people, the attendance is very high!”

"When the players from both teams came out of the tunnel, the fans of the Hornets instantly erupted in cheers like an avalanche and tsunami!"

“After a good start in the second half, Ingolstadt came to the Westfalenstadion with great momentum to challenge!”

"And Dortmund was on a killing spree in the last round! Let's wait and see whether they can continue their hot form in this game!"

The queue moved slowly.

The referee team led the players from both teams out of the tunnel.

The hot air balloon with the Bundesliga logo printed on it soared into the sky, as if it was frightened by the terrifying momentum. The magnificent devil's home stadium suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying momentum.

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"

"The team wearing the yellow home jersey is Dortmund, and Tuchel has deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Burki!"

"Defenders: Durm, Hummels, Papastathopoulos, Piszczek!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Weigl, Ginter!"

"Central midfielders: Aubameyang, Shinji Kagawa, Mkhitaryan!"

"Forward: Xia Han!"

"Xia Han is the single striker! Aubameyang is the left winger! Ginter and Weigl are the double defensive midfielders!"

"Let's look at the formation of Ingolstadt on the other side wearing the white away jersey. Hasenhüttl has deployed a 4-3-3 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Ozcan!"

"Defenders: Robert Ball, Hubner, Marvin Matip, Danny da Costa!"

"Midfield: Morales, Roger Bernardo, Christiansen!"

"Forwards: Matthew Leckie, Lescano, Hartman!"

"Marvin Matip on the back line is Schalke's Matip's brother!"

"Let's look forward to a great offensive and defensive battle between the two teams!"
-
[If Mkhitaryan continues to start, he will hopefully become the Bundesliga assist king! His performance in the first half of the season was excellent! ]
-
[Schalke's Matip likes to charge forward and was rated as an intercontinental defender by Kickers. I wonder if his brother is stronger! ]
-
[Both teams' defenses are average! Although Dortmund's back line is a bit stretched, it's still easy to defend the opponent's forward line! ]
-
[This Ingolstadt home jersey is red and black sword stripes, it looks pretty good! ]

On the sidelines, Hasenhüttl stood in the command area from the beginning of the game and began to observe the situation on the field carefully.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle!
The game officially begins!
The visiting team Ingolstadt has the ball!
Lescano knocked it across to Hartman.

Dortmund's midfielders and forward players immediately began to press frantically!

Xia Han rushed towards Hartman immediately.

"Hartmann passed the ball back to Bernardo behind him, and Xia Han continued to press. Dortmund's pressing was very smart, allowing the players to cut off the opponent's space and passing routes!"

"Ingolstadt's right-back Da Costa had to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper!"

"Ozcan has been rated as a national team-level goalkeeper! He is quite capable!"

"Hehe! Borussia Mönchengladbach's Swiss goalkeeper Sommer in the last game can be rated as intercontinental level!"

"What a wasted opportunity to kick off!"

"Ozcan's long pass was completely off target! It flew out of the sideline!"

Dortmund quickly kicked the ball out of bounds and launched an attack!
Ginter lifted his foot to take the ball off the ground, easily got rid of left winger Lecky, and continued to dribble the ball forward.

Morales pressed forward immediately.

Ginter and Shinji Kagawa's wall pass got past Morales' defense and broke through Ingolstadt's defense.

Dortmund players were sprinting at high speed on the other side, ready to receive the pass and create shooting opportunities at any time!
Facing the interception by left-back Ball, Ginter performed a series of bicycle kicks and moved inwards, creating space and directly chose to kick the ball and cross!

"Dortmund's offensive wave is sweeping over!"

"The pace is fast! The coordination is very skillful!"

"Ginter! Great at passing the ball!"

"A cross after getting rid of the defense!"

"Dortmund! Any chance?"
