The teams in the Bundesliga have changed a lot this season, and their strengths have been well supplemented.

In the opening game, Dortmund and Bielefeld were evenly matched, and the two sides finally shook hands 2:2. In terms of strength, Dortmund is superior, and it is playing at home.

However, the Turkish international Davala (the Turkish international with the Mohican hairstyle in the 500 World Cup) introduced by Bielefeld for 02 million euros in the new season scored twice in the opening 30 minutes, once pushing Dortmund to a dead end.

Fortunately, Odonko, who was promoted from Dortmund's youth team, came off the bench to save the team. After the star of hope came on the field, he used the anti-offside to successfully pull back a goal for Dortmund. In the second half, he assisted the Czech international Jan Kohler with a header.

The opening game dedicated 4 goals for the fans, which made all the teams that played on August 8 full of energy and ready to show their talents.

Borussia Mönchengladbach ushered in the challenge of Stuttgart at home.

A large number of young players of the Stuttgart team have started to represent the first team in the league this season. Apart from Hildebrand, who has become famous for a long time, Andres Hinkle, Alexander Hleb, Kevin Kuranyi and other players who became popular later also made their debuts. Veteran Balakov still played the game as the captain of the team.

When exchanging team flags with Balakov, Nick smiled and said, "Clavmir, you are still playing. Look at the kids behind you. You are now an uncle."

"Haha, Nick, why don't you hurry up and call him uncle?" Balakov joked cheerfully.

"Hehe, but to be honest, those boys are really good. If Stuttgart can endure for a few years, their future is limitless." Nick is very optimistic about Hinkle and others. These future German internationals are likely to become his right-hand men in the national team in the future.

Balakoff said with a smile: "That's right, Nick, Stuttgart will complete the blood exchange this year, I will take them with me, and when they grow up, I should also go to China for retirement."

Balakov received an invitation from China City Link this year, and his salary was higher than he was in Stuttgart, but Balakov still decided to stand on another shift and dedicate his last strength to his beloved team.

After the game started, Stuttgart's young lineup was quickly tested dizzy.

In the 5th minute, Ortega took two steps in the middle and then suddenly made a pass. Li Yihuan forcibly threw away Hinkle and then cut inside the penalty area. Facing the pressing Croatian defender Zivkovic, he suddenly hit the penalty spot horizontally. Trezeguet made it overnight.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal has been scored. Borussia Mönchengladbach opened up the situation so quickly. Their pass and cut cooperation is really sharp." German TV [-]'s Riddle shouted happily. Borussia Mönchengladbach still has the Champions League this season, so DF[-] will broadcast many games of Borussia Mönchengladbach live.

Borussia Mönchengladbach lead 1:0.

This is Borussia Mönchengladbach's typical tactic of splitting the ball from the center, breaking through from the side, and outflanking the center. Li Yihuan's speed advantage allows him to take the initiative when breaking through, while Trezeguet's outflanking is very good, and the shooting effect is good.

Trezeguet was very excited and ran to the sidelines to celebrate this goal. As a center forward, his task is to score goals. Obviously, he did a good job.

After Nick gave Trezeguet a bear hug, he said, "David, well done! You will become a legend like Joseph."

"Thank you, this is what I should do." Trezeguet said modestly.

The fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach in the stands were happy. Borussia Mönchengladbach had just shown its strength and had already shown the true qualities of a strong team. The fans stood up and applauded Trezeguet.

Murdoch in the box had a smile on his face. He originally planned to buy the Premier League overlord Manchester United, but now he finally enjoys the happiness brought by football, and Wendi Deng beside him is also very happy. As Murdoch's wife and the new chairman of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Wendi Deng is very satisfied with the team's performance, and she was also the one who made the decision to introduce Trezeguet, so when Trezeguet scored, Wendi Deng also applauded.

Conceding the goal so quickly made Stuttgart's young players a little impatient, and Stuttgart's offense was choked by Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Nick easily fixed on Balakov, which made the Bulgarian veteran complain.

"Hey, boy, why are you lingering, don't stick it so tight, okay?" Balakoff said a little uncomfortable after being stabbed by Nick with the ball in the 13th minute.

"Haha, old man, what's the matter with me being so arrogant? Haha, look at old man, our counterattack is coming again." Nick pointed out, and Balakov's face immediately changed.

I saw that the Iranian star Madavikia had received Ortega's wonderful pass and broke into the penalty area. Facing Hildebrand's attack, Madavikia tiptoed and the ball flew into the goal steadily. 2:0, Borussia Mönchengladbach expanded the score.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal has been scored again! Borussia Mönchengladbach's pass and cut cooperation is really well done, and the final shot is also very calm. The Iranian international helped the home team expand the lead to two goals." Riddle shook his head while talking. Stuttgart's defense is so weak that it is estimated that Borussia Mönchengladbach will be beaten into a sieve.

Madavikia also rushed to the sidelines to celebrate. Borussia Mönchengladbach's lineup this year will give wide players a lot of opportunities. Madavikia is very eager to make a breakthrough this season and become the number one star in Iran and even Asia.

"Haha, another goal, Stuttgarters, you surrender!"

"Good shot, Mehdi's penetration is really sharp this time."

"Wow, will there be a big score today? This rhythm is a bit similar."

Borussia Mönchengladbach fans have ridiculed, now is the time for them to be proud.

"Well, the two Asian players have performed well. It seems that the selection of the team should be relaxed in the future, and don't always focus on Europe and the Americas." Murdoch nodded and talked to Wendi Deng.

Wendi Deng smiled and nodded. As a Chinese, she is still happy to see Asian players rise to prominence in European football. The so-called racial theory of football degrades Asian football very badly.

After conceding two goals in a row, the Stuttgart players calmed down.

Balakoff began to retreat to the backcourt to get the ball. Facing Nick's defense, Balakoff really couldn't organize the attack smoothly, so he chose to retreat.

Nick didn't keep up either. Borussia Mönchengladbach's three lines were well maintained, and Balakoff was far away from the penalty area. What threat could there be?

But Nick still underestimated Balakov's role.

In the 22nd minute, Balakov suddenly sent a header from the backcourt. The ball seemed to float out of the bottom line, but it suddenly fell above the bottom line. The teenager Kuranyi inserted at high speed, spotted the ball's landing point and shook his head from a small angle to attack the goal. The ball flew straight to the near corner.

Although Butters threw the ball, he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited. There was a problem with his hand shape. After the ball hit his hand, it still bounced into the goal. 1:2, Stuttgart recovered a goal.

Kuranyi excitedly rushed to the sidelines and hugged coach Rangnick, and then rushed to the stands to celebrate the goal with hundreds of Stuttgart fans who came to the away game to cheer for the team.

After the striker who had been neglected in Augustsburg came to Stuttgart, he was immediately spotted by the Stuttgart youth team, and this year he was brought into the first team by the team coach Ralph Rangnick ahead of schedule.

This goal is undoubtedly the best reward for Rangnick, Kuranyi now feels really lucky.

Nick looked at Butters in a complicated way. The conceded goal was actually Butters' mistake. The angle of Kuranyi's header was so small. Butters had plenty of time to prepare, but in the end he sent the ball into the goal.

Considering that Butters is the double champion of the World Cup and the European Cup, Nick still didn't say it clearly. This has to save some face for Butters, and see if he can adjust in time.

After the game restarted, Nick stepped up his pressing on Balakov, not giving the midfield maestro any relief.

"Damn, don't you know how to pass the ball? Let me see how you pass it now!" Seeing Balakov panting heavily in front of him, Nick was quite proud. Balakov was so embarrassed by Nick that it was difficult to pass a threatening ball.

The other Stuttgart players were also well restricted by the Borussia Mönchengladbach players, and the scene was quickly fully controlled by Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Rangnick walked back and forth anxiously on the sidelines. Borussia Mönchengladbach had already hit the goal with 5 kicks within 8 minutes. If it weren't for Hildebrand's heroic performance, the score would have been rewritten long ago.

Trezeguet even hit the crossbar with a header in the 26th minute, and Stuttgart's gate was crumbling.

Lannick looked at the bench, gritted his teeth suddenly, pointed at Holleb and said, "Alexander, I'll give you 3 minutes to warm up and get ready to play."

Hleb was taken aback for a moment, he was Balakov's substitute, and he was going to be sent on the field so soon?
"Alexander, are you deaf?" Lannick shouted angrily when he saw that the Belarusian teenager didn't move.

"Oh, good coach, good." Hleb hurriedly stood up, took off his coat, and began to warm up.

But at this moment, Hleb heard a burst of cheers erupting from the audience, and hurriedly looked up, only to see Nick running towards him.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Beautiful goal, Nick's sudden long-range shot straight into the dead corner after stealing it! A ground-breaking goal, so violent and shocking, I'm a little drunk at the moment, oh, buy Karma, Nick is like a missile on the pitch, his shot is simply unstoppable."

Only then did Hleb see that the net was trembling, and Borussia Mönchengladbach scored again.

"Coach, let me play, I'm ready." Hleb looked at Balakov, who was out of breath, and Nick, who was blowing kisses to the stands, and said fiercely.
