Chapter 185 Underestimate the enemy?
After the game started, the crowded stadium was filled with cheering for Raja, but Dortmund was the first to threaten the goal.
In the fourth minute, Zhou Yi suddenly made a cold arrow outside the penalty area, causing Raja's goalkeeper Askerri to save the ball. Fortunately, he reacted quickly in his second time and immediately held the football in his arms...
Raja, with high morale, was not affected by Dortmund's attack. They immediately responded with their colors. One minute later, Mutuwari made a straight pass from the right, and Yaru shot twelve meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, and the football slightly missed the post.
Although there was no goal, Raja's attack won cheers and cheers from home team fans in the stands.
For a moment, Raja's players all had an illusion - as if a goal was right in front of them and might appear at any time.
I have to say that their hallucinations make sense, but the object was wrong...
After Raja's attack, it was Dortmund's turn to launch the attack. They hit Raja's goal and then got a corner kick.
Reus took a corner kick from the right, Papastasopoulos headed the ball in the penalty area, Mark cleverly stepped forward, stopped the ball with his left foot in front of the goal, and shot on his right heel!
Football enters the net with a sound.
"1:0! Dortmund took the lead! This start is amazing!" He Ping shouted.
It's not a match between Dortmund and the Chinese team, so he can support Dortmund without any scruples.
Moreover, the penalty kick that Raja won at the last moment in the semi-finals of the final was really controversial. Judging from the slow-motion replay from multiple angles after the game, the Raja player who fell in the penalty area of Atletico Minero was a fake fall.
This made He Ping complain about Raja who was able to advance to the finals, and he was more emotionally inclined to Dortmund.
Mark's goal made the home team fans in Marrakech Stadium quiet for a second or two.
They really didn't expect that Fei, Raja, who was highly morale, was one goal behind in less than ten minutes of the game...
"Oh no... Raja is behind, this is their first time in this Club World Cup..." The Moroccan narrator was disappointed.
Actually, there is nothing to be disappointed, because it is not normal to be scored by the European champion?
However, after finally reaching the Club World Cup final, it seems that Raja has some unrealistic fantasies, believing that they can beat Dortmund and win the championship, just like they beat Atletico Minero and enter the final.
In fact, this kind of thinking is fine. It is not impossible for the opponent to underestimate the enemy. After all, football is round.
And they all think Dortmund must have underestimated the enemy.
But the problem lies in their miscalculation of Dortmund...
Rotation of three starters is not called "understanding the enemy".
If they put Zhou Yi on the bench, there is still a possibility of "undermining the enemy"...
※※※
This Club World Cup fell behind for the first time, which made Raja a little overwhelmed.
Dortmund took this opportunity to launch a more fierce offensive towards Raja's goal.
The continuous battles in a short period of time have indeed consumed Dortmund's physical energy. How to solve this problem?
Klopp believes that the team should try to consume less physical strength in such irrelevant games. How to consume less physical strength? Of course, it is to win the game as fast as possible.
Raja was able to eliminate Atletico Minero, which actually helped Klopp a favor.
If the final opponent was Atletico Minero, he might not dare to do so. But now... well, to put it bluntly, Klopp really didn't take Raja seriously.
Of course, Dortmund also has the qualifications to not take his opponent seriously.
In the 16th minute, after Dortmund scored nine minutes, they scored another goal.
Groskreuz initiated an attack from the side, and he passed the football to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi passed it straight and Kuba knocked back. Groskreuz, who inserted into the penalty area, shot low twenty meters in front of the goal. The football leaked from under Raja goalkeeper Askerry and drilled into the goal.
"2:0! Dortmund won the advantage of two goals in the 16th minute! Although Raja was ambitious before the game and had a lot of expectations for the finals, in the face of a huge gap in strength, no matter how big the ambition is, it is meaningless..." He Ping criticized Raja without mercy, fully expressing his emotional tendencies.

Dortmund, who has already led two goals, did not stop their bombardment, because before the game, Klopp warned them that they must use the fastest speed to deal with their opponents in this game. On the one hand, they learned the lesson of Atletico Minero being eliminated in the semi-finals - if Atletico Minero can quickly establish a lead, how could they give Atletico Minero a chance to cheat a penalty at the last moment?
On the other hand, this is done for the sake of physical energy saving. The earlier the game enters garbage time, the more rest their players will get.
In the 22nd minute, Dortmund made a comeback, and this time it was Zhou Yi who sent a straight pass on the left rib. After Groskreuz broke into the penalty area and received the ball, he did not pass the ball to the front of the goal, but a reverse triangle pass, and passed the ball back.
The football rolled towards Zhou Yi who was inserted into the penalty area.
Zhou Yi rubbed the ball and shot it. The football drew an arc, bypassed goalkeeper Askerry's palm and flew into the goal from the near corner.
"Zhou Yi! Beautiful goal!!" He Ping shouted excitedly. "He is the first Chinese player to score in the Club World Cup final!!"
"Twenty-two minutes into the game, Dortmund was already leading by three goals, and this game has lost its suspense!" Marcel Leif also commented on this game.
With three goals leading, the voice in the Marrakech Stadium is much smaller than that at the opening. Many Raja fans sat in the stands with numb expressions. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, it is almost impossible for Raja to win the championship of this Club World Cup.

Dortmund, who leads three goals, still has no intention of slowing down the pace. Since the game is about to end early, we must ensure that the opponent does not have room for counterattack.
You have to beat the dog in the water and completely interrupt your breath.
It is not safe to lead by one goal or two goals, and it is not safe to lead by three goals. If you can score more goals, don't relax.
Under such a guiding ideology, Dortmund was led by Zhou Yi to continue to maintain a very high-speed race rhythm.
And in the 40th minute, they won their fourth goal in this game.
Kuba passed the ball at the front of the penalty area in the middle, and Schieber pushed the ball 14 meters away from the goal on the right, and the football rolled into the goal against the inside of the post.
4:0!
Chapter completed!
