Chapter 301 Season Opening
On August 8, BJ time, and August 23, local time in Germany, the opening game of the Bundesliga kicked off at Bayern Munich's home court, the Allianz Arena.
In the end, Bayern's "Müller" and "Roben" scored a goal in the first half, while "Wolfsburg" scored a goal in the second half from Bayern's old player "Olic". Finally, in the opening game, Bayern defeated Wolfsburg 2-1.
In the opening game, although Klopp did not ask everyone to watch it together, the Dortmund players consciously watched it at home.
Li Qiao watched it with his father Li Shan.
"Bayern had an absolute advantage in the first half, but they were a bit loose in the second half, which shouldn't be the case," said Li Shan.
Li Qiao took a sip of the German stout and said: "The important thing is that they won and got the 3 points. In professional football, this is the most important thing."
Li Shan has never played football, but after watching football for 30 years, he has seen countless football games. He nodded, "Yes, just like Juventus. Everyone says they play like old women, but they can still win."
"Tomorrow's game, I will help the team win the first game," Li Qiao said.
"Son, can you play"?
"No, but I'm in the 18-man roster, so it should be fine to come off the bench."
"That's good, don't be impatient, that..." Li Shan hesitated to speak.
Li Qiao knew that his father had a lot of football knowledge, so he probably thought of something, "Dad, there is no need to hesitate, there are only two of us in this huge house, what else can you say."
Li Shan smiled and said: "When Yang Chen came to Germany, he was too anxious, coupled with cultural barriers, and finally had an unpleasant fight with the head coach "Magat".
Li Shan looked at Li Qiaoyu and said earnestly: "Germany is different from China. In China, Stan can take care of you. Here you can only rely on yourself."
Li Qiao burst into laughter suddenly, "Dad, you really look like Stan. I'm 20, not 12. I know what to do as a professional player."
Li Shan also smiled, as if he realized what was wrong with him, "Okay, I'm going back to my room, you adults can do what you want."
"Good night, don't forget to call mom before going to bed."

On the second day of the match, the 8 seats at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium were all filled. After a three-month summer truce, the fans of the Yellow and Black Legion were already itching.
Dortmund's opponent in this game is the old Bundesliga team-"Leverkusen". Many fans should still remember Zidane's flying fairy in the 2002 Champions League final. At that time, Real Madrid's opponent in the final was "Leverkusen".
In its heyday, Leverkusen had a group of top players such as "Barack", "Zero Roberto", "Neuville", "Lucio", "Bout", and "Sebetzen". Their most brilliant time was when they reached the Champions League final in 2002.
Although Leverkusen has lost its former glory, its strength is still top-notch in the Bundesliga. They are also one of the four teams representing the Bundesliga in the Champions League this season.
The first game is a direct confrontation between two teams representing the Bundesliga in the Champions League, which is a highlight.
The commentary of this game is more interesting. At a glance, many people are afraid that the two commentators will fight in the middle of the commentary, because one side is Dortmund’s legendary "Lars` Ricken", that is, the 1997 Champions League final. The young man who scored the winning goal from outside the penalty area.
And the other is Leverkusen's exploits, and also a former German international player - Neuville (Neuville), everyone is most impressed by him in the final of the "Korea-Japan World Cup", when he hit the post with a free kick outside the penalty area.
German football is like this. It’s not a big deal to watch the excitement. The more popular the better, Bayern’s captain "Effenberg" used to swear during the live broadcast when he was a commentator, but the fans also liked to watch it.
No, before the game started, the two started to quarrel. Ricken satirized that Leverkusen had never won the Bundesliga championship, and "Neuville" was not to be outdone. He satirized that when he was in the German national team, Ricken would always be his substitute, and he was the main force.
When it comes to the key players in this game, Ricken said it was Dortmund's "Royce", and Neuville said it was Leverkusen's free kick king "Chalhanoglu".
In short, German football is like this. There are many stories before the game. Decades of league history, kindness and resentment, constant cuts and chaos.
*****
For Dortmund in this game, Klopp's starting lineup is:
Goalkeeper: Langerak.
The defense line from left to right is: Schmelzer, Subotic, Ginter, Piszczek.
The double defensive midfielders are: Kyle and Bender.

The single striker is: Immobile.
4231 formation.
In this game, Dortmund captain "Hummels" had a little injury before the game. To be on the safe side, Klopp did not let him play. The other position, the defensive midfielder, was originally chosen as "Gündogan".
Dortmund was unable to play the first Bundesliga game with its full main force. It can be said that the sequelae of the World Cup are still plagued by the team.
Leverkusen is basically not troubled by injuries, and their starting lineup is also their strongest lineup.
The goalkeeper is the German national goal: Leno.
The back line from right to left is: Jedvaj, Toprak, Spasic, Bernisch.
The double midfielders are: Castro, Rolfes.
The forward line is: Bella Rabi, Charhanoglu, Sun Xingmin.
Single striker: Keasling.
It is also a 4231 formation, and the head coach is "Schmidt".

Before the game started, Klopp was chatting with the manager "Zorc" on the bench. Judging by the expressions on their faces, the two were in a good mood. It is very common for Bundesliga teams and team managers to sit on the bench.
And "Sammer", who is in charge of the transfer of Bayern Munich, supervises every game on the bench, so in the Bundesliga, the person next to the head coach is not the assistant coach, but the person in charge of the club's transfer.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, Wolfsburg's head coach "Magat" a few years ago, he is the coach and also the team manager, but this situation only happened once, which can be said to be a special case.
After the game started, Klopp was still chatting with Zorc, probably talking about how many wins this game can have.
But not long after the referee's opening whistle, the Dortmund players had already kicked off in the midfield. At this moment, Klopp couldn't sit still. He only realized what happened just now by watching the big screen.
It turned out that after Dortmund kicked off, the ball was passed in the midfield several times, and then it was at the feet of the young defender "Ginter" born in 1994. The young player who accidentally appeared to replace "Hummels" might have been too nervous.
1 to 0, Leverkusen scored a goal in the opening minute.
*****
Conceding the ball so quickly, Klopp was furious. 99% of the responsibility for the ball was "Ginter", but this cannot be completely blamed on him. The first game of such an important game for a 20-year-old young man is inevitable.
The reason why Klopp uses "Ginter" is that there is really no one in his hands. Dortmund has 4 central defenders-Subotic, Hummels, Papastatopoulos (hereinafter referred to as Papa), and Ginter.
The Greek international "Papa" has been injured. Hummels has not felt well after the World Cup, and he had a slight muscle strain before the game, so Klopp can only use the teenager "Ginter", otherwise he can only use "Bender" as the away center back.
But it was so unlucky. Before the game, Gundogan relapsed from an old injury, so Bender could only play as a midfielder.
Klopp's angry beard was almost erected, and his already stubbled face looked even more terrifying, but instead of blaming "Ginter", he called the veteran "Kyle" over and told him to protect Gentle.
Just when Klopp was about to stabilize, Leverkusen didn't think so. In the 5th minute of the game, the Turkish free kick master "Charhanoglu" took a direct long-range shot from 35 meters away.
Klopp suddenly felt that history was repeating itself. The ball shot by Calhanoglu was very fast and accompanied by irregular rhythms. It is difficult for you to tell that it is a pure deciduous ball.
Dortmund goalkeeper "Langerak" pounced, but it was too late, but the ball did not go in, and it was a little bit wide.
Li Qiao, who was sitting on the bench, saw this ball clearly. The football shot by Charhanoglu was unprecedented in terms of speed and drop.
"If the ball is within the range of the goal, it will undoubtedly be scored," Li Qiao thought.
Although the goal was missed, the home court was beaten like this. Uncle Klopp couldn't help it anyway. He called Bender over and blamed him for not restraining "Chalhanoglu" just now.
"There's nothing to say, that's the defensive zone," Klopp said.
Bender knew he was in the wrong and did not make any defenses, but in fact he was dissatisfied in his heart, because Kyle was old and his running distance was greatly reduced. It seemed that Dortmund had two midfielders, but in fact most of the work was done by him alone.
Klopp calmed down and comforted Bender, "Gundoğan is injured, and this is the only way to go."
Bender nodded and ran back to the field.
