Chapter 99 The Final Battle of Westphalia

Kicker's 2. Bundesliga column—Goodman is very likely to transfer to Wolfsburg.

"Even if Wolfsburg loses to Leipzig in a head-to-head match, they are still Gudman's top transfer option (Wolfsburg is second in the Bundesliga this season)."

Summer transfer odds for "Mr. Goodman":

1. Borussia Dortmund, odds of 4.55 to 1.

2. Wolfsburg, odds of 5.0 to 1.

3. Stay with the team, odds of 8.25.

4. Others, 1 to 10.0

5. Hoffenheim, odds 14.35.

6. Ingolstadt, odds 275 to 1.

[Case solved, guys! Hao Ren's transfer to Atletico Madrid to thwart Messi and Ronaldo has been officially confirmed.]

[I'm laughing so hard, I don't believe Hao Ren won't go to Dortmund]

[I'm definitely not going to Wolfsburg. I, Mr. Goodman, dislike losers!]

[herewego! Leipzig's 17-year-old prodigy Goodman transfers to Chengdu No. 7 High School's second-year students]

Why didn't you tell me sooner? When does the Chengdu No. 7 High School competition start?

Dortmund, Germany, May 30.

With the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga seasons already over, today's German Cup final is the last match of the season for both Dortmund and Leipzig.

It's worth mentioning that this is also the last professional football match played in Germany this season!

Westphalia!

A massive crowd of fans, dressed in matching yellow and black uniforms, slowly made their way through the streets near the stadium.

There was even a drummer in each part of the team to lead the team's momentum!

Boom!

"BVB! (Borussia Dortmund)"

Boom!

-

"HejaBVB! (Go Dortmund!)"

Bang bang bang!

"Einer for alle, allefur einen! (One for all, all for one!)"

Leipzig's team bus passed in front of the Dortmund fans and was quickly met with boos from the opposing supporters.

"Holy crap—"

Hao Ren took a deep breath: "Actually, I thought today would be exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be this exaggerated."

"Hmm—I remember we should have come to Westfall to watch a match last year, around April?"

Kimmich recalled.

Strictly speaking, this is the second time the KFC team has come to Westphalia.

"That's different now."

Hao Ren shook his head, his expression serious: "Back then, we were mixed in with the team. Now we are their opponents, and the pressure is even greater."

"So you were so scared you peed your pants?"

"Ha ha!"

Hao Ren laughed: "Actually, I don't think Dortmund's performance this season has been very good. They're only in 6th place, and they've been eliminated from the Champions League, right?"

Kimmich pretended to pull back the curtains, "Come on, I'll open the window, and you shout out what you just said to them."

"Depend on!"

Hao Ren quickly grabbed Kimmich's hand: "Don't get Mr. Goodman in trouble."

"Ha ha!"

"Although Dortmund is only in 6th place, we still need to be careful."

The speaker wasn't Hao Ren or Kimmich, but Klostermann, who had been listening to them: "This is Dortmund's only chance to win the title this season. If they lose today, they won't have a single championship this season."

As Klostermann said, today's match is a matter of pride for Dortmund.

They are one of the top teams in the Bundesliga, and winning zero titles in a single season is an incredibly shameful thing!

"It's alright, Goodman will make them lose face."

Kimmich patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "Am I right, Goode?"

""

Hao Ren bit his lip, looked up, and said, "It depends on Mr. Goodman's mood!"

"Come on! What do you mean by 'depending on my mood'? Goode, you shouldn't be like this. Are you letting them win the championship because you're transferring to Dortmund?"

"How could that be? Brother Chicken, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"What I mean is that I can't guarantee a good performance, but I will definitely do my best. Why would I be a starter if I didn't try my best?"

Hao Ren punched Kimmich's arm with his hand: "You're rotten to the core."

"Haha! No, how come you know such rare vocabulary? Your German is pretty good!"

"The Chinese version was specially translated!"

With three hours remaining before the match, the press room at Westfalen Stadium was packed.

Because today is Klopp's farewell match at Dortmund!

"As I said, Gudman is a very good player. If I stay at Dortmund, I will ask the team to buy him, and I will include him in my plans for next season."

-

"But now that opportunity is gone. After this match, I will leave here and leave Dortmund."

""

Klopp's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, and he seemed filled with resentment.

"Would you recommend Tuchel to buy him? Considering that Goodman is the top scorer and assist provider in the 2. Bundesliga this season, his statistics are incredible."

The questioner was a Chinese journalist from Xinhua News Agency.

Judging from this, the reporter seems to really hope that Hao Ren can become a Dortmund player.

After all, Borussia Dortmund is a big club, and if the transfer goes through, it will be a new milestone for Chinese football.

"I don't know. Thomas (Tuchel) is a good enough coach; he'll have his own ideas. I just told the management that Goodman is a good player, but how to proceed depends on their thoughts."

Klopp flashed his bright white teeth, a smile tinged with embarrassment and regret on camera.

"So where are you planning to go next season, Jürgen? And will you still try to sign Gudmann after you move to your new club?"

"Where will we go next season? Oh, I don't know either."

Klopp shrugged: "No need to think about the future, just live in the present. As for Goodman, I personally want to work with him, but you know, there aren't many players with his talent. I don't think I'll have another chance after this one, haha!"

Klopp then made a self-deprecating joke.

He had his eye on Hao Ren back in January, but he never expected that he would make the decision not to renew the contract in April.

The main problem is that Dortmund's performance in the Champions League knockout stage was just too poor!

"So what's your outlook for today's match? Your opponents are a dark horse from the 2. Bundesliga, who have defeated—well, I don't think I need to elaborate further."

"Give it my all, that's all I can say."

Klopp adjusted his hat and stood up: "I think this will be my last title at Dortmund. It won't be too shameful to leave with one more title."

Click!

Click, click, click!

"Wir halten fest und treu zusammen! (We stand firmly and loyally together!)"

"Ball—Heil—Hurra! Borussia!" (Hooray for football! Long live Prussia!)

-

The starting players from both sides slowly walked out of the tunnel.

The scene was so breathtaking that Hao Ren kept looking around.

The last time I came to Westphalia, I was sitting in the stands.

Now, standing on the pitch, he can finally feel the pressure of this "devil's home ground".

"Leipzig!"

"Shhh!!!"

"Beep!!!!!"

Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Langerak; Defenders: Durm, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Midfielders: Gündoğan, Kagawa, Kehl; Forwards: Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Reus; Head Coach: Jürgen Klopp. Borussia Dortmund's starting lineup is very impressive.

At the beginning of the season, you simply couldn't imagine Leipzig facing a team like this.

"Damn, I feel like Leipzig's defenders are going to be under a lot of pressure today. Dortmund can attack from all three directions."

"Which side do you think is better, host? —"

"I've said it before, I bet at least 1000 yuan on any Leipzig match. Today is the final, so I'm betting 3000 yuan. That's almost four times the odds; if I win, I'll make a fortune!"

Wang Chao told the fans in the live broadcast room that if Leipzig wins this game, he will give Hao Ren a set of Huanggang Little Champions!

One copy for each subject!

Mr. Goodman is devastated to lose the top scorer in Huanggang!

[Hao Ren: Time to get going, for my free test papers!]

[Klopp, damn, I really hate to see Klopp go! Let him stay another season, please! Klopp + Hao Ren... I can't even imagine how exciting Dortmund's matches will be next season!]

[Go, go, go! Klopp, show Hao Ren what high-level offense really is!]

"Here, here!"

Reus started from the left wing.

!

Hao Ren reacted quickly and immediately signaled Kimmich to go find Kyle.

However, it was too late. Kehl delivered a through ball, accurately finding Reus.

Reus pulls the ball laterally, preparing to press Leipzig's baseline.

"Put it on!"

Rangnick sounded anxious, indicating he was somewhat nervous.

Tiger reacted quickly and rushed forward decisively.

Reus can't turn around right now!

"Come!"

Snapped!

The data was sent back to Schmelzer.

Schmelzer passes the ball to Shinji Kagawa at the top of the penalty area!

Hao Ren and Shinji Kagawa were stuck together, and the latter chose to pass back without hesitation.

"Leipzig's man-marking defense is very good, but I feel that Dortmund has not yet unleashed its full attacking potential."

"Hao Ren, nice! Let's take him down, just keep an eye on Shinji Kagawa!"

Snapped!

[Makelele Precision Steal Template (Reissue)]

Hao Ren kicked the ball away.

It's a bit of a pity, though, that Morris couldn't beat Subotic to the ball at the landing point.

Dortmund still have possession of the ball!

Snapped!

Subotic has returned the ball!

Mkhitaryan caught the ball before it went out of bounds and nutmegged Anthony Jung with a spike.

"Wow!!!"

"Shoot! Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

The stadium was in chaos. Mkhitaryan bypassed Anthony Jung and charged straight into the penalty area.

Aubameyang moved forward to the edge of the penalty area and received a pass from his teammate.

"Don't let him in!"

Leipzig players reacted quickly, with Klostermann decisively moving forward to block Dortmund's center forward's shooting route.

Snapped!

Aubameyang sent a powerful kick into the stands.

"Oh!!!"

Bellot and Klosterman clapped, while Aubameyang spat on the grass.

To be honest, Dortmund handled this attack too hastily.

Klopp, who was off the field, noticed the situation and promptly called Aubameyang over.

"Calm down and think carefully. Use your brain when you play football, okay?"

"If it's not a shooting opportunity, then don't shoot. Can you do that?"

Aubameyang and Klopp clapped hands.

Watching Aubameyang walk away, Klopp said seriously, "Come on, cheer up!"

11th minute!

From the start of the match until now, Leipzig has been under pressure the most.

The good news is that Leipzig's starting lineup has accumulated immeasurable experience and momentum over time.

Dortmund only managed two shots in total, and none of them were on target!

Leipzig's biggest problem right now is their lack of possession.

Without possession, there are no attacking opportunities!

Even so, Klopp's expression under his hat was still not very good.

boom!

coming!

Hao Ren and Sebastian combined to intercept the ball!

Give it to me!

Hao Ren immediately called for the ball, and after receiving it, he decisively took a step forward to begin his advance.

At the same time, Hao Ren subconsciously began a 10-second countdown.

Hurry, the faster the better!

【Speed: 66】

Knowing he was not faster, Hao Ren passed the ball away immediately after dribbling it forward for more than 10 meters.

The ball was delivered very high, and Rebic headed it to Forsberg.

Forsberry!

The rhythm changed, and Forsberg reached the top of the arc.

"Just attack!"

boom!

Forsberg's shot struck the six-yard box, bounced off the post, and went into the goal.

this----

"Holy crap?"

"Has it gone in?"

"This ball seems fine!"

The goal came too suddenly; some of the fans in the stadium hadn't even had time to react.

When the referee blew his whistle to confirm the goal, the home team's stands erupted in cheers.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

"Foul! Foul!"

"————"

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the ball; it's just that some Dortmund fans couldn't accept it.

In the 13th minute of the first half, the score was 1-0.

Leipzig is in the lead!

【? ? ? ? 】

What's going on?

Holy crap, Dortmund's sleepwalking.

The Leipzig players quickly gathered together, and Poulsen and Hao Ren jumped onto Forsberg's back one after the other.

sauber!!!!

Dongqiudi live match report: Hao Ren's long pass orchestrated a perfect counter-attack, Forsberg scored, and Leipzig led Dortmund 1-0.
