Chapter 66: Naples
Lin Zhijian's goal was very excited by the commentator of Hong Kong TV.
Because Lin Zhijian's father is from Hong Kong, Hong Kong media have been paying great attention since Lin Zhijian debuted in Hamburg, and the attention is no less than that of the mainland Chinese media paying attention to Zhou Yi.
Now, as long as there is a Hamburg team game, Hong Kong TV stations will choose to broadcast it.
Now they have witnessed Lin Zhijian's first league goal in his career.
"Lin Zhijian's wave shot beautifully! A real world wave! I hope this ball can bring more good luck to Lin Zhijian!"
They also hope that Lin Zhijian can play for the Hong Kong team. If there is a player in Hong Kong who can firmly play in the main team in the Bundesliga team, it will be of great help to improve its strength.
Lin Zhijian's goal also made the lagging Hamburg excited.
In the next game, although Dortmund's offensive was very strong, Hamburg did not concede any more goals. Of course, the result was also obtained by those two yellow cards - in order to curb Dortmund's attack, it was impossible for Hamburg to not foul.
They ended the first half with a score of 1:2.
As soon as the second half began, Hamburg's central defender Westerman equalized the score with a header in a corner kick.
"Treacherous Hamburger! They equalized the score!"
"It seems that the national team match day has indeed had a great impact on Dortmund..."
After Hamburg equalized the score, Dortmund's offensive became even stronger.
They seemed to be angry with the burger.
The entire Hamburg team had to face Dortmund's anger.
After the game, there were statistics. In that game, Dortmund's team shot a total of 28 goals, including thirteen of which were shot within the range of the goal frame...
In the 65th minute, Hamburg finally failed to withstand the stormy attack of Dortmund.
Zhou Yi suddenly stepped forward outside the penalty area and inserted into the penalty area. When he received a pass from Shibel, he exerted force on the spot and directly imagined the football in the far corner.
Hamburg goalkeeper Adler failed to save and the football flew into the goal!
"Zhou Yi! He has regained the lead for Dortmund! This is also the first league goal he scored in the new season! No one in rotation will not rotate Zhou Yi's approach is correct!"
※※※
Zhou Yi's goal was like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of Hamburg players... disintegrating the will of Hamburg players to resist.
At the same time, Klopp also took the opportunity to make a substitution. He replaced Kuba with Aubameyang and replaced Schibbet with Mark.
In the 73rd minute, Mark, who had just been on the court, took advantage of a counter-offside opportunity to take Zhou Yi's straight pass and broke through Hamburg's goal.
4:2! Dortmund turned the lead into two goals again!
Just one minute later, while the Hamburg players were restless and were not focused because of the goal, Reus won another goal for Dortmund, 5:2!
With the game ending with more than ten minutes left, leading the opponent by three goals can basically mean that Dortmund is sure to win, and the result of this game is no suspense.
But Dortmund doesn't seem to stop there.
At the 81st minute, Mark scored a header and scored twice!
Amid the deafening cheers of West** Stadium, Dortmund's offensive frenzy finally ended.
Zhou Yi was also substituted after this. Klopp wanted to give Zhou Yi more rest when the victory was decided.
In the end, Dortmund defeated Hamburg 6:2 at his home court.
Although there have been twists and turns in the game, the final victory is still very brilliant.
Dortmund won their 23rd consecutive league victory with a big win at home.
The European King Dortmund, who just won the European Super Cup, now seems no one can beat it. Although they lost two main core players before the start of the new season, they soon found two outstanding successors, Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, in the transfer market.
After the results of the Champions League group draw came out, according to the championship odds given by the bookmaker to each team, although Dortmund is not the highest odds for the championship, it is also in the No. 1 group.
These fully demonstrate the strength of Dortmund. They are no longer just regional teams that can stand in Germany, but are top European teams that are comparable to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona. No one can ignore them.
Dortmund's bright future is like cooking oil with bright fire and blooming flowers.
But there may be some people who are not convinced of this.
For example, Dortmund's first opponent will be welcomed in the Champions League group stage next, Napoli in the Serie A.
※※※
Naples is no stranger to a little older Chinese fans, because they will remember the Serie A championship team led by Maradona.
Napoli was once brilliant. Under the leadership of Maradona, the team defeated strong opponents such as AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus in the league and won the league championship. In the years when they did not win the league championship, they have always been strong contenders and disruptors for the championship. In Serie A, they are absolutely first-class teams. They are not the same as those relegated later and those before Maradona came.
Naples was founded in 1926. In the fifty-eight years before Maradona came to the team, Naples won only two Cups of Italian titles and once reached the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners. At other times, the team's history was unremarkable.
They had the best time of Maradona's career since the club set a world transfer fee record for $4 million in 1984.
In seven years, Maradona helped Naples become a powerful force in Italian football. From obscurity to being able to compete with the three northern heroes, Naples' changes are no exaggeration to describe them as earth-shaking.
Third in Serie A in 1986, won the Serie A in 1987, won the Italian Cup, second in Serie A in 1988, second in UEFA Cup in 1989, second in the league, and won the Serie A championship again in 1990.
These championships are not just something that Naples has never had before, but other Italian Southern teams have no honor in history.
However, this legend ended in 1991. Maradona was found to be drug-taking and was banned for fifteen months. After the ban expired, he was unable to return to Italy due to tax evasion. He left Naples and joined the La Liga team Sevilla.
The crazy legend between the King of Football and Naples ended.
Since then, Maradona's career has come to an end and was banned again for drug use in 1994.
The Naples club was also trapped in a quagmire after losing Maradona, and was even ordered to be demoted due to bankruptcy in 2004.
Today's Naples was rebuilt after the acquisition of Italian film tycoon De Laurentis.
After a lot of ups and downs, this Naples has now returned to everyone's sight.
Since winning the third place in the Serie A season in 2010-2011, Napoli has returned to the Champions League stage.
Now this Naples has no Diego Maradona, but New Naples hopes to surpass the legend's achievements in the Champions League.
Maradona won the Serie A championship twice in Naples and participated in the Champions League twice. At that time, it was not called the "UEFA Champions League" but the "UEFA Champions League".
And unlike now, the top few leagues can all participate. At that time, the European Champions League was the real "Champion" Cup - only the champions of each league and the defending champions of the Champions League can participate. And there is no so-called group stage, but a single-round home and away elimination system.
After winning the Serie A championship in the 1986-1987 season, Napoli participated in the 1987-1988 season, which was the first time in their club's history to participate in the Champions League. As a result, the ambitious Serie A champion met the La Liga overlord Real Madrid in the first round. In the first round at Real Madrid, Maradona was mediocre and lost 0:2 away to Real Madrid. After returning to his home court, he was unable to turn things around. He participated in the Champions League for the first time in history and ended their journey with a "one round tour".
In 1990, Napoli defeated AC Milan in Serie A and won the championship. Napoli participated in the Champions League for the second time in the 1990-1991 season. This time, Napoli met the Hungarian team Uypester in the first round. In the two rounds of home and away games, Maradona scored two goals and assisted the team to eliminate their opponents with a total score of 5:0, and entered the second round of the Champions League. Then in the eighth-finals, they met the Russian powerhouse Sparta Moscow. Neither side scored a goal in two rounds. In the penalty shootout, Napoli players missed a penalty, and the King of Football's Champions League journey ended.
Without Maradona, Napoli, who was reborn, participated in the Champions League for the third time in history in the 2011-2012 season. This time they performed well, broke out from the group stage, entered the Champions League quarterfinals, and once again came to the height Maradona once led Napoli to lead Napoli in the Champions League - the quarterfinals.
This time they almost surpassed the best result of the Napoli Champions League created by the senior football king. They defeated Chelsea 3:1 at home, which directly led to the dismissal of Chelsea coach Boas. Unfortunately, in the second leg, they also won 3:1 away by Chelsea. Both sides played overtime. In overtime, Chelsea scored another goal and eliminated Napoli with a total score of 5:4.
In the end, Napoli was not able to surpass the Maradona era team's best results in the Champions League.
