"This is Xia Han!"

"He killed the game! He had a cool head and a big fearless heart!"

"It is worth mentioning that Xia Han is not only very good at taking advantage of single shots, but his penalty success rate is 100%!"

"Three goals in the first half! Stuttgart may not be able to recover! But the ball is round, and you never know when a miracle will happen!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[It’s exactly what I thought! When I saw Xia Han’s single-handed attack, two words came to my mind: Steady and hot! ]
-
[A player with a big heart! And he is also very calm! Let’s bang! Let’s bang! ]
-
[The suspense of the game has been killed! Xia Han has never seen a three-goal lead be overturned in a game! ]
-
[Strong! Strong! ]

Xia Han did not make any special celebration moves. While jogging to the corner flag area, he was surrounded by Dortmund teammates.

On the sidelines, Kramny was also helpless and could only hope that Dortmund would not launch any more offensives in the second half.

"If we lose the German Cup, we lose! Everything has two sides. We should rotate the yellow card players in the second half and focus on the Bundesliga! After all, we still have the difficult task of relegation this season!"

On the other side, Tuchel adjusted his hat while sitting in the coaching seat, applauded Michels next to him, and then began to discuss the 21st round of the Bundesliga in a few days with the members of the coaching staff.

The match of the 21st round of the Bundesliga is between the current second-to-last team of the Bundesliga: Hannover 96!

Four wins, two draws and sixteen losses, with 14 points.

Facing such a relegation team, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

So Tuchel and the coaching staff were constantly discussing the personnel arrangements and tactical adjustments three days later.

With the encouragement from the Stuttgart members, the competition was restarted!

The ball had just been kicked off and passed around for a while.

The referee glanced at the time and blew the whistle!
Beep! ! !
Accompanied by the whistle!

The first half of this German Cup game is over!
Both sides entered the halftime break.

Langerak and Grosskreutz, two former Dortmund players, greeted the current players warmly.

"Don't play so aggressively in the second half! Score fewer goals and give me some face." Langerak patted Xia Han's shoulder in a friendly manner and whispered.

"I'll try my best." Xia Han expressed his understanding.

Inside the Stuttgart dressing room.

There was no intense tactical arrangement. Kramny patted each player on the shoulder and told them to take the time to rest.

He also called on the players who were to come on as substitutes in the second half and asked them to commit fouls when necessary so as to prevent Dortmund from seizing the opportunity to score goals again.

Dortmund's dressing room.

Michels made some simple tactical arrangements for Tuchel and also asked them to take a good rest.

"Xia! Your physical fitness is a bit too strong!" Jintel said to Xia Han who was full of energy.

"It's natural. It's like my body is activated!" Xia Han replied while recuperating.

The fifteen minutes of halftime passed quickly.

Players from both teams met in the player tunnel and were led onto the pitch by the referee team.

"Viewers, welcome back!"

"Now we are broadcasting live the second half of the German Cup quarter-final match between Stuttgart and Dortmund at home!"

"Dortmund took a three-goal lead in the first half! Xia Han was undoubtedly the best player in the first half with two shots and one assist!"

"The suspense of the game is decreasing, unless a miracle happens! After all, the ball is round! We also believe that with the encouragement of the home fans, Stuttgart can unleash its offensive firepower!"

"We can see that after the halftime, Kramny made two substitutions! Both were for players with yellow cards!" "Didawi was replaced by Maxim! Die was replaced by Tassi! Stuttgart has strengthened the protection of the midfield! From the position, we can see that Gentner's position has also moved back a bit!"

"Dortmund also made substitutions!"

"Tuchel used all three substitutions at once! It looks like he is already preparing for the Bundesliga game three days later!"

"Ginter was replaced by Moritz Motner! Gundogan was replaced by Shinji Kagawa! Reus was replaced by Pulisic!"

"The overall formation is still 4-3-3, but compared to the first half, this position is a bit more aggressive! The defense will be under greater pressure!"

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle!
The second half of the game officially begins!
After both coaches made substitutions, the game did not change much.

Dortmund maintained strong suppression as in the first half.

Stuttgart defended better than in the first half, but not much.

Stuttgart's defense began to break down amid Dortmund's wave of attacks.

The sixty-fifth minute of the game.

Dortmund's offensive was effective. The crazy forward attacks of the players in the midfield and frontcourt made it difficult for Stuttgart's defense to cope with.

"Stuttgart is in trouble!"

"Dortmund's combined punch is coming! The attack is too fast! In the blink of an eye, it has advanced to the 30-meter area!"

Dortmund's fan-shaped attack unfolded in an instant!
Pulisic, Shaq and Mkhitaryan fired three arrows at the same time!
Shinji Kagawa received the pass from Piszczek in the 30-meter area, looked up for a moment, and then kicked the football directly!
"Kagawa Shinji catches the ball!"

"A lob pass after observation!"

The football took off from the ground and drew a beautiful arc in the air!

It passed Grosskreutz and Sunilch and fell straight towards Pulisic.

"The quality of this lob pass is very good!"

"Pulisic! There's a brief unmarked moment! Can you take advantage of it?"

There were waves of cheers coming from the away stands!
Amid the cheers, Pulisic raised his foot and steadily took the ball off the court.

“Nice stop!”

"But Insua is coming!"

"Press Pulisic directly to minimize the trouble!"

Langerak's expression was very calm, and as Insua successfully blocked the shooting angle, he was able to save the shot more easily.

Langerak kept adjusting his position, and was very focused. He not only kept his eyes on Pulisic, but also kept an eye on Xia Han who kept running back and forth in the middle.

"Eh?"

"Insua is being too reckless!"

While Langerak was constantly adjusting his movements, Pulisic forced himself to adjust his body and dunk the ball at the moment of cycling, creating space for a breakthrough!
Just as he was about to break into the penalty area and make a direct shot or an inverted triangle pass to assist, Insua forcefully rushed towards him.

The young Pulisic was completely unable to withstand the impact from Insua and fell directly onto the grass.

Beep! ! !
When Pulisic fell to the ground, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation!

Point your finger to number twelve!
