Chapter 8 Substitutes are still not powerful

In Dortmund's squad, there are still a lot of powerful players.

In addition to star players such as Aubameyang, Shinji Kagawa, and Sven Bender, Little Rocket Reus is still recovering from injury and has not followed the whole team of Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund have brought in a number of new signings early this season, including French talented youngsters Dembele and Bartra are also in the squad, while Portugal international Guerreiro has not yet joined Dort.

Despite the fact that former manager Jurgen Klopp was in charge of Dortmund in his last season, Dortmund fell off a cliff and forced the decorated manager Jurgen Klopp to leave Dortmund.

Tuchel then took over, and the German head coach quickly stabilized Dortmund's situation, and in the 2015-2016 season, Dortmund picked up 78 points in the Bundesliga, finishing second in the league despite being ten points behind Bayern Munich.

Even if Li Qingshan's factor is excluded, the match between Dortmund and Manchester United is an eye-catching strong conversation.

Tuchel sat in the dugout with his hands on his chest, his expression serious and somewhat cautious.

Indeed, for Borussia Dortmund, they missed the Champions League last season, and despite their good performance in the league, Dortmund will have to re-compete in the Champions League this season.

After all, unlike Manchester United, which has deep pockets, Dortmund is not too high in terms of transfer budget, and even sometimes their main players are often poached by Bayern Munich very easily, in fact, even if they are not poached by Bayern Munich, other big teams are eyeing Dortmund's players.

Mkhitaryan was last season's Bundesliga Player of the Year, but the Armenian star did not come to China with the team as Mkhitaryan was dealing with his transfer.

Tuchel glanced at Carlo Ancelotti on the other side with some envy.

Compared with a rich club like Manchester United, although Dortmund is also a Bundesliga giant, they are not so confident in the transfer market.

However, football is definitely not just a game of money, and although Dortmund are not as strong as Manchester United in the transfer market, Tuchel does not think Dortmund will be too far behind Manchester United when it comes to the game.

Tuchel's confidence is well founded.

Borussia Dortmund fielded a 442 starting line-up.

The goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, the defenders are presented, and Paslak, Swind, Socrates, and Schmelzer form a back four; The four midfielders are Dembele, Rhodes, Castro and Shinji Kagawa; The forward combination is Gabonese sports car Aubameyang and Ramos.

Despite the 80,000-man stadium in Shanghai, most of the fans were pro-United – or rather Li Qingshan. But Borussia Dortmund were undoubtedly the first to get into the groove of this game.

In the eighth minute of the game, the score was rewritten.

Compared with Borussia Dortmund, Ancelotti sent a semi-main and semi-substitute starting lineup in this game, and in the central defender position, Smalling and Phil Jones started the game.

And this time Manchester United's conceded goal was also due to a mistake in the back line, Smalling passed back to the goalkeeper after taking the ball, and as a result, the goalkeeper Johnstone took the ball and then Aubameyang's pressure to clear the ball, but the football was not kicked, and the football was directly won by Shinji Kagawa.

Shinji Kagawa took the ball and took a few steps forward to volley, the ball was saved by Johnstone, only to be scored by the young player Dembele.

1 to 0!!

Borussia Dortmund had an early lead over Manchester United.

After taking the lead, Dortmund's attack went more and more smoothly, and they continued to get attacking opportunities, putting a lot of pressure on United's defence.

In the twelfth minute, Castro crossed from the right, Aubameyang kicked with a barb, but the ball hit Valencia's left arm, the referee awarded a penalty, and Aubameyang took the penalty and shot with his right foot to break the goal, 2-0! Borussia Dortmund extend their lead.

Tuchel proudly crossed his legs in the dugout, and his side were so good against last season's treble that he would be proud, and he couldn't help but put a smug look in front of Carlo Ancelotti to make it easier for the Italians to see better.

Yes, your team can pay a lot of money for people, but under my tutelage Tuchel, Dortmund can still beat last season's treble team so badly.

At least from this match, I'm the winner and Carlo Ancelotti ........ It can only be a loser.

Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti certainly have no grudges, it's just that in the arena, there is only the difference between winners and losers, and Tuchel doesn't want to be a loser, so he tries to make Ancelotti a loser.

From such a distance, Ancelotti certainly couldn't see Tuchel's expression clearly, but he knew that the other party must be very proud now, and if this kind of thing was his own, it was estimated that he would be even more proud.

Ancelotti frowned, this is just a pre-season warm-up game, even if it loses, it won't affect anything, but the performance of this back line is really worrying.

The centre-back combination of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones was so terrifying that Carlo Ancelotti didn't even dare to put them on the bench – judging by their performances in the first ten minutes of the game, the two England internationals were not even qualified to be substitutes for Manchester United.

On top of that, United are missing a second goalkeeper with enough quality.

The current youngster Johnstone is obviously not qualified as the second goalkeeper, a good goalkeeper is the top half of the team, if there is no reassuring goalkeeper on the bench, in case De Gea has any injuries, then the impact on the team is too great.

Ancelotti shook his head, it seems that he was still optimistic about his team's lineup.

Fortunately, there is still time, and I hope Edwardwood's work can be more powerful.

Carlo Ancelotti can only hope that in the transfer market, Sandezi can successfully complete the personnel reinforcements he has requested.

The first half of the game was not good for Manchester United, and after Dortmund took a 2-0 lead, they began to deliberately experiment with more tactical routines, and the pace of the game continued to change.

However, in the first half, neither side could get too good chances, and the score remained at 2-0, with Dortmund taking the lead.

"At the end of the first half, the two sides went into the dressing room and Dortmund temporarily led 2-0. Treble winners Manchester United were sleepwalking in the first half, so what adjustments will Carlo Ancelotti make in the second half? The narrator said.
