Later, Zhan Jun also reported on the starting lineups of both sides.

"It can be said that Leverkusen also has a considerable number of outstanding young players! Especially Wirtz!"

Zhan Jun also lamented the abundance of talents in the five major leagues. His own country is a country with a lack of talents. There was only one Lin Jie.

Then Zhan Jun changed his mind and thought that it was good to have Lin Jie. Then he quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to introduce Dortmund's starting lineup.

"Okay, then let's look at Dortmund's starting lineup!"

"It's still the lineup we are most familiar with, but Hummels, who was originally the main defender, was injured and was put on the bench in this game. In the list. "

"The four defenders are Rafael Guerrero, Manuel Akanji, Marin Pongracic, Thomas Meunier!"

"Lin Jie and Bellingham form Double defensive midfielder. "

"As for the right forward, Hazard was not included in the squad for this game due to injury. "

"So the forward line combination changed to Youssef Moukoko and Julian Brandt. "

"The attacking midfielder and forward positions are still the familiar Reus and Haaland!"

Just after Zhan Jun introduced the starting lineup, the referee blew the whistle on the field, and this focus game was already Start!

The first team to kick off was Leverkusen!

Obviously, the players of Leverkusen, who were playing at home, entered the game more quickly and launched an attack on Dortmund immediately.

Moussa Diaby on the right side successfully shook off the defense of Dortmund's left back by changing the rhythm. Rafael Guerrero.

Then, before Bellingham could make up for the gap, he made a left-foot shot from the top of the arc!

But unfortunately, the power of this shot was too great. This beautiful long shot, He fired a cannon directly and kicked the ball into the stands.

But obviously, Moussa Diaby's opening kick showed his excellent competitive state in this game!

Facing Dortmund's control of the ball, Leverkusen The Kusen team showed a very oppressive frontcourt pressing at the beginning of the game.

The ball possession change is also quite fast.

After Dortmund completed the steal, Leverkusen's players intercepted the ball again.

The pace of the game was quite fast.

In the 8th minute of the game, the situation on the field suddenly changed!

Originally on the right After Lin Jie made a sliding tackle and intercepted the ball, he passed the ball back to goalkeeper Cober, who then passed the ball to the left back. However, he made a mistake when passing the ball forward!

Left midfielder Mukoko did not notice the situation behind him. Jeremy Frimpong, the right-back of Leverkusen, made a steal!

After making the steal, Jeremy Frimpong made a straight pass without hesitation and found the forward Florian accurately. Ann Wirtz!

At this time, Dortmund's formation was changing from defense to offense, and the two defensive midfielders, Lin Jie and Bellingham, began to move forward.

There was no time to return to defense at the first time!

The problem is that the two central defenders, Manuel Akanji and Marin Pongracic, were too spread out!

Manuel Akanji was too distracted by the left midfielder Rafael Gray. Luo's forward run took a few more steps to the left.

When Florian Wirtz made his forward run, the two central defenders hadn't reacted yet!

"After Florian Wirtz scored this goal, his personal goal number also came to 4th, ranking 2nd in the scorer list, only below Lewandowski with 5 goals."

"Obviously, Florian Wirtz has played a phenomenal performance this season. The 18-year-old Wirtz has shown super personal strength!"

Zhan Jun, who was commentating in the Goose Factory Sports live broadcast room, was also disappointed after seeing Dortmund lose the ball at the beginning.

But he still showed his affirmation of Florian Wirtz's fiery performance in a very professional manner.

"Alas! I can only say that Dortmund has been slow to warm up in recent games! The players are very slow to enter the game! In the first half, Dortmund was evenly matched with everyone!"

"Plus, this is an away game. I didn't expect Leverkusen to adopt such a high-pressure pressing. The rhythm of both sides was very fast in the first few minutes. Obviously, Dortmund's players did not adapt to the rhythm of this game very quickly!"

"Especially as a newcomer, Moukoko obviously did not pay attention to the situation behind him when he received the ball, which led to Jeremy Frimpong easily stealing the ball!"

"It was originally an opportunity for Dortmund to attack, but it turned out that Dortmund lost the ball!"

Coach Zhang immediately pointed out the main reason for Dortmund's loss.

Sun Jihai on the side also echoed and added some of his own opinions.

"Coach Zhang is right, but the players on the Dortmund side are obviously not as focused as the players on the Leverkusen side. For this ball, the position of the central defender Manuel Akanji was too bad, and the two central defenders were too scattered!"

"This resulted in a huge space in the middle for Florian Wirtz to easily move forward! In addition, the two central defenders were not focused enough at the first time and did not choose to block it immediately!"

"In addition, the timing of this steal was too good. It happened to be when Lin Jie and Bellingham started to move forward, and there was no way to return to defense to help the two central defenders to block the leak."
