In the 1st minute, Dortmund midfielder Kyle fouled. De Bruyne took a free kick from the frontcourt, but Kjaer's header went wide.

In the 13th minute, Carvajal made a high-speed breakthrough from the right and sent a cross. Son Heung-min, who was outflanking in the middle, shot an overhead shot before Santana blocked it. Unfortunately, the angle was too high and was confiscated by Weidenfeller.

In the 14th minute, Dortmund responded with a pass from Piszczek. Gotze caught the ball and broke into the penalty area after being offside, but his shot went slightly wide.

The pace of both sides is getting faster and faster.

That's how the game is, sometimes you want to control the rhythm, but you just can't.

Because the game is played by both sides together, if the opponent gets up faster, you will suffer a loss if you don't keep up, so in the end you can only keep up.

Most of the Dortmund players themselves were young men with high spirits, and their usual style of play was to press the whole court and attack quickly. So as they kicked, they began to fight fiercely with Hamburg, and both sides began to see red bayonets.

And the goals came quickly, and two at once!

In the 16th minute, Dortmund broke the deadlock. Hummels' clearance ball in the backcourt was passed directly to the opponent's penalty area. Lewandowski received the ball and got rid of the defender and calmly shot it. Dortmund led 1-0 at home!

But just 2 minutes later, Hamburg equalized the score.

Robertson made a cross from the left, and Vardy took advantage of Dortmund's defensive line to gain a foothold and score.

After the goal, the two sides fought even more intensely, and the two sides continued to go back and forth. The fans in the stands and in front of the TV were also dizzy and cheering.

In the 19th minute, Blaszczykovsky missed the ball after receiving a pass from Royce.

In the 20th minute, Son Heung-min took advantage of Dortmund's midfielder's error in returning the ball and broke into the penalty area. However, after dunking Weidenfeller, his shot from a small angle hit the post and bounced off the post.

In the 21st minute, Paulinho tackled Blaszczykovsky in the Dortmund penalty area and received a yellow card.

In the 25th minute, Hamburg counterattacked from the left. After receiving Robertson's pass, Sun Xingmin dunked the defender and shot a long shot with his left foot from outside the penalty area.

The ball drew a strange arc and went straight to the far corner of the goal. Weidenfeller had no reaction, and Hamburg went ahead 2-1!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL..."

Amidst the passionate shouts of the TV commentator, Klopp's face was dull for a while in the TV camera.

He did not expect that Hamburg's offensive would be so fierce, scoring two goals in just 25 minutes of the game.

What he didn't even expect was that Hamburg's two goals were both launched from the left!

In this game, Klopp made a defensive deployment specifically for Hamburg's right-side attack. His original intention was to focus on the right and let go of the left.

Although Robertson, the left back that Hamburg introduced in the winter window, performed well in the last round of games, he is only 18 years old after all, and he only started for the first time in the last game, so his condition is definitely unstable.

So Klopp still focuses on the right wing.

But what I didn't expect is that the current burger is really so difficult to deal with?

The attack on the left is also so sharp, not even much worse than the right.

So how can we prevent this?

The double midfielder composed of Paulinho and Casemiro, plus the midfield formed by De Bruyne, seems to be stronger than in the first round in terms of defensive hardness and offensive organization.

Although Dortmund also scored a goal, it was scored by Lewandowski's personal ability, which is a bit different from Hamburg who mostly used exquisite coordination to score goals.

Klopp realized for the first time, is Hamburg really stronger than Dortmund now?

So what Pan Yi said in the pre-match press conference was all true, because he already had the confidence to have a real offensive battle with Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion.

This time, it seems that Pan Yi didn't think so much about which floor he was on, he was really just on the first floor!...

Soon, Dortmund suffered another blow.

In the 28th minute, Lewandowski turned around and shot in the penalty area but Navas confiscated it.

In the subsequent attack, Lewandowski raised his foot too high during the fight and directly kicked Rudiger down. De Bruyne, who was nearest, stepped forward to reason and caused a conflict between the two sides.

Lewandowski and De Bruyne got into a push, and the referee eventually sent Lewandowski off with a direct red card, while De Bruyne received a yellow card.

This is how young people kick themselves in the head.

Especially the Dortmund players, who were playing at home today, but fell behind despite the cheers of 80,000 fans, and their mentality could easily lose balance.

Although Lewandowski scored a goal, the next few attacks were blocked by Hamburg defenders, and his footwork became more and more unsatisfactory, which made the Polish forward start to become impatient.

So it finally led to such an ending, and he was sent off early!

Pan Yi was very happy to see this scene.

The original intention of the tactics he adopted tonight was to attack fiercely. He took advantage of Dortmund's two-line fighting mentality that was a bit concerned about one thing and the other, and took advantage of their weakness of not adjusting their positions enough to run in. The opening was a fierce attack!

Only a fierce attack will give them the opportunity to slowly adapt and adjust on the field, and they will be killed with one axe!

But Dortmund is capable after all, especially a star like Lewandowski, who will seize the opportunity to score a goal if he is not careful.

Fortunately, the Hamburg players' mentality and technical performance were not greatly affected by losing the ball, and they quickly equalized the score and took the lead.

After bringing the game into their own rhythm, Hamburg played better and better, while Dortmund played more and more anxiously, and had long forgotten the tactics ordered by the head coach.

This is of course what Pan Yi is happy to see, and Lewandowski's red card is even more unexpected.

Who would have expected that the other party would give such a big gift?

Football matches are inherently composed of many accidents and surprises.

One goal ahead, one more player to beat, and the one missing was the opponent's number one star. The game seemed stable...

But on the other side, in front of the home team's bench, it was a different scene.

Lewandowski's red card almost made Klopp go berserk.

He rushed straight to the sideline and yelled at his players and the referee.

In his opinion, Lewandowski's raised foot was unintentional in this ball, and it was De Bruyne's provocation that deserved a red card.

But the matter has come to this, and Klopp's yelling is of no use, and he even received a yellow card for it.

"This bastard!"

Klopp glanced at the visiting team's coach's command area. At this time, Pan Yi was smiling, obviously satisfied with the penalty.

This made Klopp roar angrily.

But what can he do now?

Comparing his feelings, if it was a Hamburg player who was sent off, he would also be happy.

It’s only because our players don’t control their emotions as well as the other team’s that they made such a big move...

The rest of the first half was an offensive display for Hamburg.

In the 30th minute, Casemiro's long shot from outside the penalty area was saved by Weidenfeller.

In the 35th minute, Paulinho broke into the penalty area and his shot was blocked by the defender.

In the 39th minute, De Bruyne brought the ball into the penalty area and was tackled by Santana. Since he tackled the ball first, the referee ignored it.

In the 42nd minute, there was a vacuum in Dortmund's defense on the right. Robertson made a cross pass, but Vardy, who was grabbing the ball in the middle, missed the shot.

In the 44th minute, Dortmund's rare corner kick created a murderous opportunity. Shaheen headed the ball into the penalty area. Hummels countered offside and shot over.

In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Carvajal broke through from the right and crossed to create chaos. Wu Lei passed back to Paulinho from an offside position. Although the latter scored, the ball was invalid.

Before the half ended, Pan Yi and the coaching staff around him had already almost figured out the basic strategy for the second half.

After Lewandowski left the field, Hamburg's ball possession rate increased significantly, about 70% to 30%.

So, with such a huge advantage, Hamburg can win the game as long as it continues to play steadily and not make rash advances.

"Paulinho played really well." Nagelsmann praised.

The screen on the tablet in his hand shows that whether it is interception success rate, pass success rate, performance activity and other data, Paulinho can be called Hamburg's midfield pillar.

Even so far, he has made zero mistakes in passing, which is very rare.

What's even more rare is that he won all the head-to-head confrontations, made some threatening passes, and even almost scored a goal.

It can be said that he, a hexagonal warrior, made Hamburg's midfield both offensive and defensive, allowing the team to organize wave after wave of offense.

"Although I have said it many times, I still want to say..." Inzaghi shook his head and said, "Coach Pan Yi has such a vicious eye when buying people."

"Basically, don't sit still." Pan Yi said with a smile.

"If we continue to play like this, our physical fitness will not have big problems." Pintus is concerned about his professional field. "On the contrary, Dortmund will reach a small limit of physical fitness in about 75 minutes. At that time, we can

Consider letting the players rush."

Pan Yi nodded.

He also made adequate plans for this.

Hamburg is now ahead, which gives him more room to adjust his tactics in the second half.

If Klopp doesn't make any big changes in the second half of the game, Pan Yi will of course consider Pintus's suggestion and take advantage of the opponent's significant decline in physical strength to widen the score gap and establish the victory in one fell swoop.

…

During the halftime break, Pan Yi was very satisfied with the player's performance.

He highlighted one player by name and that was Paulinho.

"Although there was no goal, I think this was the best game you played since joining Hamburg. You and Casemiro completely controlled the midfield..."
