Tuchel's timely arrival prevented a farce in the locker room.
Although Aubameyang's actions violated the rules, the head coach was happy today!
The Ruhr derby is his second test since taking charge of Borussia Dortmund.
Now that the first half is over, how can the opponent turn the tide with a 4-goal advantage?
Could the miracle of Istanbul be repeated?
Inside the away team's locker room, head coach Bretten looked extremely somber!
In such a serious atmosphere, Sané and the substitutes beside him were quietly chirping crickets in a corner.
"You mean, the guy who got you hospitalized is this Andy?"
"Yes!He has incredibly strong legs!You have to be careful!"
The speaker was none other than Valdocchi, the center-back who had been promoted from the reserve team!
Like Andy, he was promoted to the first team.
The difference is that Andy has become a starter, while he was only the team's third option.
In that Ruhr derby, Waldoch took a powerful free kick from Andy with his face, thus leaving the field early!
Sané recalled the first half and nodded in deep agreement.
"Your performance has greatly disappointed me!"
"Head coach Bretten said in a deep voice."
"This is the most important match!What kind of awful play are you guys doing?"
"Think about your families, think about your fans!How can you play like this and do that to them?"
"I must see results in the second half!"
"I cannot accept such a humiliating score!"
"In a little while."
During halftime, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu analyzed the game situation in the live broadcast room.
"In the first half, Dortmund completely controlled the game."
"Andy plays a very important role for the current Dortmund team!"
"On the one hand, he limited the opponent's attack on the right flank; on the other hand, his late runs into the box were also very effective for the team's attack!"
"That's right, Andy's tireless sprints are a great example for us Asian players to learn from!"
Zhang Lu showed an appreciative expression, unable to resist reminiscing about the goal in the first half.
"Traditionally, Asian players don't have a physical advantage, but look at Andy, he's not only fast, he always wins in physical duels, that's his unique strength."
Meanwhile, the official live stream also invited Schalke legend Haito and Borussia Dortmund legend Floyd.
Trailing by 4 goals at halftime, Hajto pointed the finger directly at Huntelaar!
"His form is not good enough to make him a starting striker for this team!"
"Rather than that, I might as well retire."
Many fans in live streams both domestically and internationally share the same sentiment!
[Schalke's true colors were revealed in one match!]
Huntelaar is old; he's lost his impact!
[32 years old?Have some decency!He barely touched the ball in the first half!]
[The main issue is that Sané, who plays alongside him, is completely neutralized by Andy, which is quite normal.]
[Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; let's see how the coach adjusts things.]
[I bought a 3:2 version, turned off the TV, you guys watch it.]
Both teams re-entered the field and switched sides to resume play!
Schalke 04 requests a substitution!
Choupo-Moting came on as a substitute, replacing the underperforming Marcosmayer.
Højbjerg replaced Kolasinac.
It's clear that Schalke's target in the second half is the left flank!
Their first wave of attack reached the corner flag area!
Ginter held his position firmly, but was forced out of bounds by the two opponents!
The referee immediately blew his whistle to indicate a foul!
Schalke's attacking momentum remained undiminished after the restart!
In the 50th minute, Højbjerg dribbled past one player in the middle and sprinted forward with the ball!
Papastathopoulos tackled him to the ground from behind!
The referee did not hesitate to issue a yellow card!
Højbjerg then took the free kick himself!
The ball was smoothly lobbed into the penalty area!
Matip, unmarked at the far post, unleashed a powerful header!
"Whoosh!"
Goal!
Goalkeeper Bürki was powerless!
Schalke pulls one back!
"Shortly after the start of the second half, they scored from a set piece with a header by center-back Matip."
"Dortmund's defense missed a player on that play!"
After scoring, Matip immediately rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, and ran towards the center!
Schalke players were energized!
The blue figure in the corner raised its flag again when the home team finally scored!
On the other hand, Dortmund.
Hummels apologized to the goalkeeper for missing his man, while signaling to his players to continue their attacking stance!
Andy scratched his head.
His attention was completely focused on Huntelaar.
Veteran players are very experienced in how to attract opposing players!
With so many people in the penalty area just now, Huntelaar attracted the attention of at least three people through his running and talking!
This includes Hummels and Andy!
Old ginger is spicier!
Dortmund kicks off from the center circle!
Schalke's goal should serve as a wake-up call for everyone!
This shows that the opponent is not prepared to surrender!
Since you dare to fight back, don't blame us for being impolite!
Aubameyang is the first to be affected!
55th minute!
Aubameyang receives a pass from Gundogan on the right wing and goes down the byline!
His speed completely outpaced Ogo, who was guarding him!
The latter could only watch as he sent the ball into the penalty area!
But Shinji Kagawa failed to contest the header.
Castro then won the second ball and continued to pass it into the penalty area!
The ball was intercepted by Matip and changed direction, but by some twist of fate it ended up at Aubameyang's feet!
Just barely not offside!
As a result, when facing the goalkeeper, the latter went down to block him, leaving Aubameyang with the ball at a zero-degree angle.
A hasty move!
The ball hit the post and bounced out of bounds.
Meanwhile, Aubameyang also received a yellow card for kicking goalkeeper Fährmann in the head!
Just as Dortmund launched a major offensive!
sandErke's sneak attack came silently.
In the 61st minute, Choupo-Moting assisted his teammate in successfully winning the ball back!
He spun half a circle with the ball, spotted his teammate on the field, and decisively launched a long pass!
Huntelaar had already started making his run!
Goalkeeper Bürki rushed out of his goal, trying to gain control of the ball.
The ball bounces after landing!
Huntelaar practically carried Hummels as he headed the ball into the goal!
The ball flew past the onrushing goalkeeper and into the goal!
Schalke scores again!
4:2!
"Hentral!Look back at the moon!"
Schalke have scored two goals in quick succession!
"The game is going to be exciting!"
Zhang Lu was also caught up in Zhan Jun's excitement: "Hehe!Huntelaar handled that ball perfectly!Hummels had absolutely no chance."
The saying goes, "An army driven by desperation is bound to win!"
The words of our ancestors are full of wisdom!
The Dortmund players were visibly stunned at this moment!
Including Andy!
He didn't know what was wrong with the team, why they suddenly conceded two goals!
In the live stream, Dutch fans were flooding the chat with messages!
[Who just said Huntelaar is no good?Come out and face the consequences!]
[It's just scoring a goal, it's not that difficult!]
[I'm telling you this: if Schalke manages to turn things around, I'll eat five tons of manure!]
[Don't you dare freeload here!I bet you 100 bucks!]
[I'm betting 5000!I'm betting Schalke can turn things around!]
I now strongly suspect that Dortmund popped champagne at halftime.
[Who says Huntelaar is old?Huntelaar is fantastic!]
