Chapter 30: Dismissing Guardiola
Although his goal was almost broken by continuous fierce attacks just now, Guardiola quickly made adjustments to continue to strengthen the offense, and he replaced central defender Van Biten with Mandzukic.
This is a very bold substitution, but Bayern Munich can only do this. He can't replace a defender and hope to keep a goal behind, right?
Similarly, Dortmund did not reclaim the defense in the last few minutes of the game because they only led one goal. For other teams, they might do this, but for Bayern Munich, they would not do this. At least for Bayern Munich this summer, they would not be so conservative.
So when the game started again, the two teams were still fighting.
Such a game is naturally very satisfying, but it also hides a huge crisis.
Bayern Munich may seize Dortmund's defensive loopholes and equalize the score. Conversely, Dortmund may also seize Bayern Munich's defensive loopholes and completely lock in the victory. It depends on who has a stronger ability to seize the opportunity.
In the 86th minute, Bayern Munich organized an offensive. According to Guardiola's coaching style, they fell back and forth in the midfield, looking for opportunities.
Dortmund, on the other hand, competed in the midfield in a tit-for-tat way.
The encirclement was gradually narrowing. When Thiago finally got the ball down, he had no teammates around him, but instead had three Dortmund players wearing yellow jerseys.
Thiago, who was surrounded in the center, was a little panicked. From the corner of his eyes, he seemed to have a teammate who was supporting him on his right. So he quickly passed the football over.
However, the football was not passed to his teammates, but was destroyed by Zhou Yi's tackle just now!
The football that was poked by Zhou Yi fell to Mark's feet in front.
Mark turned around and did not pass the ball immediately, but resisted Alaba's steal behind him, and then led the football forward, attracting Bayern Munich's central defender Boateng to him. At this time, on the left side of Bayern Munich's defense, Dortmund's attacking right side was completely empty, and Aubameyang quickly pushed forward.
Boateng also saw this, but he couldn't let go of Mark in front of him and ran to defend Aubameyang. Not to mention whether this is right or not, even if he rushed over, it would be too late to go. So he could only take a step forward, hoping to create an offside and let Mark pass the ball to Aubameyang, the latter was in the offside position. As for whether he could succeed... it was only for fate. In fact, every time the team created an offside, there was a certain gambling element in it...
Mark indeed passed the football.
It reached the space and reached the feet of Aubameyang!
"Mark passes straight, good ball! No offside!"
Boateng failed to make an offside, because at the far end, Ram followed Reus back and dragged him at the end...
"The opportunity is here! Aubameyang!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
Aubameyang ran away from the ball, attracting all the defenders.
At the same time, Reus was quickly inserted into the goal. He took advantage of his speed and the advantage of starting first to press Bayern Munich's captain Ram behind him.
Seeing this, Neuer decisively abandoned the goal and launched an attack, hoping to block Aubameyang's shot.
But Aubameyang was very clear-headed and was not greedy for merit. When Neuer was about to block his angle, he passed the ball with a shovel and passed the ball to the middle.
Reus, who kept up, shot with a kick!
The football rolled into the empty gate behind Neuer without any suspense...
"The ball is in! 4:2! Dortmund completely locked in the victory!! This game is over! Dortmund will win the Super Cup this season! They won the first championship of the new season!"
Although this was the 87th minute goal, Marcel Leif can indeed announce the final result.
If Bayern Munich is just behind with one goal, it is hard to say that they will fall behind with two goals. Moreover, the concealment of the ball at this time has a huge blow to Bayern Munich's morale. After the game restarts, it is unknown how much fighting spirit the Bayern Munich players can have...
※※※
After scoring the goal, Reus ran towards Aubameyang, and he wanted to give the team's newcomers a big hug, just below the South Stand.
For the newcomer, there is no better chance to be recognized by Dortmund fans than this game - he defeated his arch rival Bayern Munich in the Super Cup, and scored four goals in Bayern Munich with a score of 4:2!
"...Before the start of the game, Bayern Munich, who was in excellent form in the warm-up match, was a favorite to win the championship, while Dortmund was criticized for his trip to China. As a result, the reality gave many people a loud slap..." Marcel Lef sighed. "Bortmond was not optimistic before the game but performed very positively in the game... We cannot say that Bayern Munich performed poorly in this game, but at least at the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich's performance was indeed not good enough. Guardiola's team was a bit slow. Perhaps when facing other opponents who were not as strong as theirs, such slow heat would not hurt. But when facing Dortmund, which is known for its fast speed and fast pace, it would be fatal to enter the game..."
After the TV broadcast of Dortmund players' celebration and Klopp's celebration, the video gave Guardiola a close-up shot. Guardiola in the camera sat on the coach's seat, picked up the mineral water bottle and took a sip of water. Apart from that, there was no movement, no expression on his face, and it could even be described as "sluggish".
Before the Bundesliga began, Dortmund gave him a warning to coach at Bayern Munich - telling the young coach who won all the honors a club coach can get in Barcelona. Although the Bundesliga is not as famous as the Premier League and La Liga, it is definitely not a place that can allow him to walk sideways.
"This is the first time Guardiola has conceded four goals in a single game in 207 official matches since Barcelona lost 3:4 to Atletico Madrid on March 1, 2009. Bayern Munich's last four goals were also against Dortmund, which was the 2012 German Cup final. Bayern Munich lost 2:5 to Dortmund... After Dortmund achieved unprecedented results last season, we can still see that in some media, there are statements similar to Dortmund's defeat of Bayern Munich by luck. I want to say that this is simply self-deception... At least from this game, we can see that Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich is convincing!"
Marcel Leif criticized some Munich media. After suffering failures in the Champions League and the league last season, some Munich media said irresponsibly that Dortmund was lucky to win - they blamed Zhou Yi's two wins against Bayern Munich and Mark equalized the score in the Champions League final for Dortmund's good luck.
This statement may still be in some markets in Munich, but no one cares about it when it comes to Munich.

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich launched a very hasty and ineffective attack, and Mandzukic's long shot was effortlessly obtained by Weidenfeller.
Next, Klopp substitution, he replaced Zhou Yi with central defender Papastasopoulos.
"Zhou Yi was replaced. After locking in the victory, he didn't have to worry about losing control in the midfield and conceding the ball. This was not something that had happened in the previous two seasons. Zhou Yi's performance in this game was also very outstanding. He scored a goal just at the beginning of the game and scored the first record for Dortmund. That goal also set the tone for Dortmund's performance in this game..." Marcel Leif made the final conclusion for Zhou Yi's performance in this game.
When Zhou Yi was over, all Dortmund fans stood up to give him applause.
Zhou Yi also raised his hands and applauded and thanked the fans.
Yan Min couldn't help but look forward to it in his mind when he looked at this scene - what would it be like if he could enjoy such treatment in Dortmund in the future?
※※※
Zhou Yi's end also means that the game can basically be declared over, and the rest is garbage time.
Although Boateng fouled Mark in the subsequent game and received a yellow card, nothing changed.
In the end, Bayern Munich lost 2:4 away.
Of course, after the game, the Munich media can also argue that this is because Bayern and Munich played away, and Dortmund's home advantage was too big. However, they forgot that Bayern and Munich also defeated Dortmund at their home court last season and won the Super Cup. So if you want to talk about home advantage, Bayern and Munich also have the advantage of home court...
※※※
After Dortmund won the cup, they returned to the locker room. Yan Min also came to the locker room with his agent and celebrated with the team. Although he has not played any game on behalf of the first team, and even the training is not systematic or specific, he is a member of the Dortmund first team after all. He transferred to Dortmund in this capacity, not as a youth team player. Otherwise, he would not have the qualification to enter the locker room to celebrate.
As soon as he stepped into the locker room door, Yan Min was poured on her body with champagne...
He was dressed in casual clothes and turned into a chicken.
The agent Li Jicheng was unfortunately affected and his suit was half wet.
However, when Li Jicheng was still stunned, Yan Min was already yelling and rushed in.
Zhou Yi gave him a bottle of champagne, then pointed at Groskreuz who ran into the crowd and said to him: "There are faults and debts, and you have the right to fight him!"
Yan Min shook the champagne and rushed up, screaming and laughing, making a fuss with his new teammates.
Li Jicheng, who was at the door, was stunned when he saw this scene. He thought that with Yan Min's bad temper, it should be a very long and painful process to integrate into the new team. Unexpectedly, now it seems that Yan Min has a little bit of a seamless integration?
