In the match against Ott, Tuchel arranged a strange lineup again.

Yonemoto was included in the 18-man roster, but he sat on the bench with Pierre.

The main striker this time was Mark, who rushed to the front alone.

Hofmann and Mkhitaryan supported from the left and right behind him, and Kagawa and Gundogan were responsible for the connection between the front and back fields.

Weigl cut off the middle and became the fulcrum of the back field, controlling the rhythm of the game.

The back line is still Mats, Ginter, Papastathopoulos and Schmelzer.

This 41221 formation is a deformation of the 433 formation, and the requirements for the players' positions on the field are clearer.

This formation is mainly based on control. The 41221 formation targets the midfield defense defects of the 433 formation, and pulls the two wingers back to become shadow strikers, who share the responsibility of controlling the ball in the midfield with the forwards.

The two midfielders are required to pass accurately, have strong ball control and organizational skills, be able to control the rhythm on the field, and have certain defensive capabilities.

Tuchel obviously wants to make Weigl an iron waist, mainly defensive.

Weigl is just 20 years old. As a midfielder, he has good strength and outstanding passing ability.

At the beginning of the season, Tuchel needs to find a suitable lineup for Dortmund through different changes.

Tuchel is a coach who dares to innovate. Only through constant attempts can Dortmund develop steadily.

The game started on time at 19:30 on the evening of August 27 at the Westfalen Stadium. Dortmund's lineup also surprised the commentator on the scene.

"The lineup Tuchel arranged this time is really strange!"

"I don't know how effective this lineup will be, let's wait and see"

"The most interesting thing is that the opponent's head coach Fagermo also arranged the same 41221 lineup. Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh in this match."

After the game started, Dortmund was obviously not fully adapted to the new tactics and played very cautiously.

In the 18th minute of the game, Ott seized the opportunity and took the lead in breaking through the gate guarded by Weidengler. The first goal lost at home naturally caused a sigh from the Dortmund fans at the scene, but soon, Dortmund's attack made them nervous again.

After Dortmund's attack reached the front of the penalty area, Mkhitaryan and Reus made a wall-to-wall cooperation and prepared to continue to break into the penalty area.

As a result, Ott did not hesitate to get a card and fouled Mkhitaryan.

Mkhitaryan fell heavily on the grass, Dort got a chance to make a free kick in the previous game. Erus quickly adjusted and sent a plug directly, and the football flew into the penalty area again. This goal completely awakened Domo. After the goal

, Jing Duo'an was successfully steal in the midfield.

"Return to defense!

" Reus's speed is not slow, especially when he is running without the ball.

Before the opponent's defender catches up, Reus volleys the ball, and the ball flies directly from Rossbach's side into the goal like a cannonball.

2:1!

Only two minutes later, Dortmund overtook the score.

After the game resumed, Dortmund resisted a fierce counterattack from Ott, and Reus received an assist from Mkhitaryan and scored twice.

3:1!

The two-goal lead ignited the little bees in the south stand.

They shouted Reus' name to cheer for him and Dortmund.

The Otto players who were two goals behind were obviously impatient and counterattacked frantically.

Dortmund 's midfield and backcourt were very stable.

Their offense was quickly disrupted and posed no threat to Dortmund's defense.

Then, after a steal in the backcourt, Ginter quickly ran to the midfield with the ball, and then passed it to Kagawa with a straight pass.

After receiving the ball, Kagawa chose to dribble and break through himself.

He ignored Hoffman who was asking for the ball in the frontcourt and strode directly to the baseline.

Dortmund is already in the lead, he does not need to focus on defense, he has to show his offensive ability.

In this game, he has to prove his ability.

His breathing disorder has healed, and there is no problem with his right knee injury.

He is fully capable of becoming The main force on the field.

Although Kagawa's speed is average, his ball control and long-range shooting abilities are not weak.

Since he didn't pass the ball, Hoffman was on the side, ready to assist at any time.

Reus saw Kagawa sprinting with the ball, and he also played his role, rushing to the penalty area to interfere with Ott's defense.

Mkhitaryan also rushed to the penalty area quickly, not only to interfere with the opponent's defense, but also to assist this attack.

Dortmund's attack on the right, as well as the outflanking on the left and the center, completely disrupted Dortmund's already not very stable defense line.

When Kagawa was about 28 meters outside the penalty area, Reus had already run away from the space and raised his hand for the ball.

Kagawa didn't even look at it, and he kicked a long shot directly!

This ball was a low ball, it flew at high speed at the tip of the grass, and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

The angle was extremely tricky and the ball was fast.

The opponent's goalkeeper made a save, but didn't touch the ball.

4:1!

Yes, Kagawa scored.

He used this very unique way to score Dortmund's fourth goal.

Kagawa was very happy, and of course Ginter was also very happy, as there was a bonus for assists.

Kagawa cheered and happily hugged his teammates to celebrate.

Tuchel on the sidelines frowned, as football is a sport of teamwork, and his team does not like maverick players.

Although the goal was scored, he did not pass the ball to Reus, who was in a better position, which made Tuchel very unhappy.

Tuchel also began to reposition Kagawa.

Tuchel was clear about the latter's targeting of Yonemoto, so after determining Yonemoto's main position, he would basically not let the two play at the same time.

Klopp had told him that Kagawa was a good player and that he could play a crucial role on the court.

Tuchel certainly trusted Klopp's evaluation, but for some reason, Kagawa's performance had been...

After many games, Tuchel already had the outline of this season's lineup in his mind. Now he just wants to train the players to adapt to different tactics.

Kagawa's performance this time was very good and eye-catching, but this was not what Tuchel wanted.

Tuchel wrote a few words in the notebook and returned his eyes to the field.

After this goal, the first half of the game was almost over.

Ott did not give up. After the restart, he launched another attack.

Still unable to tear through Dortmund's defense, when the referee from Ukraine blew the whistle to end the game, the players of both sides returned to the locker room.
