Sven Bender knows Boujellab.
Nope!
I can't say the two of them knew each other, I should say they were familiar.
Boujellab was on the field last season when FC Schalke 04 were doubled up by Dortmund home and away.
This guy is still a bit of a threat to Sven Bender overall.
Sort of one of Bundesliga's better classical attacking midfielder after all.
But there is only a slight threat.
With a penchant for stuttering out of his feet, he has long been Sven Bender's ace assistant in swiping snaps.
However, this game is different.
Boujellab, who was once robbed by his own parents, has the audacity to actively bring the ball to him?
Is this drifting?
Boujellab dribbles quickly with the ball!
Facing Sven Bender, Boujellab didn't blindly choose to go raw with speed either.
After getting close to Sven Bender, Boujellab flicked the ball to the right with his right paw, bah, right foot.
The pivot was clearly an attempt to wobble Sven Bender's centre of gravity, but unfortunately for him, Sven Bender was completely unfazed.
In desperation, all Boujellab could do was prepare to pull the ball back and seek support from his teammates.
But Sven Bender was waiting for him to make that pull.
Sven Bender tips his toe as Boujellab pulls back with his right foot outstretched.
Stole the football straight from Boujellab's feet.
"That goal was a bit of a given! He's facing the Bundesliga's steals leader this season!"
"Even Su didn't choose to go hard with Sven Bender's choice!"
"FC Schalke 04's offence just came to a screeching halt!"
Inside the broadcast room, Duan and Wang sighed helplessly as they watched Boujellab's botched performance.
Magath on the sidelines has some regrets at the moment!
Why did he change this guy up?
Although he promised the man FC Schalke 04 still had a place for him.
But that's to say that Boujellab could still be used to transition for a while after Su leaves.
I didn't realise this man really thought of himself as the odd man out.
Not only did he steal possession from Su, but he started playing solo dash?
On the field!
Sven Bender's steal gives Dortmund a morale boost!
G?tze in the centre, Gro? on the right.
And Nuri ?ahin who rushed up on the left.
Dortmund, even with fewer men, played with the swagger they deserve.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Boujellab looks at Sven Bender, who is also embarrassed, and hurriedly turns round to catch up with him.
Su has just been right on Boujellab's right side, but this Boujellab guy has absolutely no intention of giving him the ball.
In desperation, he pulled back early, ready to fill the guy's shoes.
Sure enough, the self-confidence was a little too much Boujellab did not play twice before playing.
Sven Bender, who was carrying the ball at high speed, was the first to meet Su, who was fully loaded.
However, perhaps Su was too intimidating with that performance, Sven Bender didn't dare to go head-to-head against Su, and just sidestepped and handed the ball to Nuri ?ahin.
Nuri ?ahin picked up the ball, took a couple of steps, and pushed it straight out with a diagonal kick before Baby Baumann came up with another cross!
G?tze in the centre picks up the ball.
At this point!
Dortmund's entire formation begins to press forward.
They're so far behind, they're already planning to break.
Receiving the ball, G?tze began to sprint down the middle.
Gro? on the right then pulls a quick edge to take away Smits.
The only thing left in front of G?tze were the double - central - backs of FC Schalke 04.
And double - central - backs in which Metzelder is still defending Lewandowski.
Looking at G?tze, who had pushed his way to the front of the box, H?wedes could only do nothing but rush out of the box to get on the ball.
Just as H?wedes closed in on G?tze, G?tze moved.
Extremely nimble on his feet, his right foot without looking at the ball, he points the ball to the left!
That position!
Nuri ?ahin came from behind and blasted a shot straight at him unmarked!
It was Dortmund's first shot on goal of the game.
Nuri ?ahin with a powerful shot on goal.
With a popping sound it flew directly towards the gate guarded by Neuer.
That was a beautiful shot by Nuri ?ahin, even if Neuer was prepared for it.
The football grazed the goal post and flew into the net!
1:5!
"Oops! That's a goal!"
"Dortmund equalised in the twenty-fourth minute of the game!"
"Dortmund, playing with one man less, used a quick counterattack through the back of the net to score a goal by #8 Nuri ?ahin!"
"That's a really high quality shot!"
"It was a bit too sudden just now with FC Schalke 04's attack."
"Boujellab was too slow against Sven Bender, he was like a vintage car on the motorway, hindering the FC Schalke 04 attack!"
"Perhaps, for FC Schalke 04 fans, they should miss Hao at this moment!"
Dortmund didn't celebrate when he got a goal back.
Nuri ?ahin rushes into the ballgoalkeeper ball picks it up and puts it right in the Midfielder.
There is still hope for them.
After all, even with six goals scored by both sides in a back-and-forth affair, the game was only twenty minutes old!
...........
"I'm going to replace this idiot!"
"Damn it!"
"Gaffer, don't be impulsive, it's too harsh on Boujellab to just switch up and then switch right back down! Let him hang on for dear life!"
On the sidelines, watching Boujellab's clown-like play, Magath is already wanting to just replace him.
But Magath it's all talk.
After all, he had just replaced this man, and to replace him so quickly was not to give himself a slap in the face?
"Damn! Give the ball to Su!!! give it to Su!!!"
Having no choice, Magath started shouting towards the field.
Boujellab on the field nods hurriedly.
He wouldn't dare go head-to-head with the devilish Magath.
Magath's stubbornness is such that he might even punch him, not to mention replacing him!
And so it was.
A magical scene occurred on the field.
After Magath's prodding and the lessons learnt from conceding a goal.
The formerly self-centred Boujellab starts kicking up around Su.
Thirty-first minute of play!
Boujellab and Su played a two-on-two in THE attacking third.
I have to say, to be the core of FC Schalke 04's Midfielder last season, this guy can really be something!
Much better than Hao with his passing and all sorts of offensive awareness than Hao with no card bonus!
So Boujellab, who had started to play with Su in tandem, was really kicking like a champ!
Finally, Su poked the ball just in time to Boujellab, who was unmarked on the left, after facing a huddle from Sven Bender and Nuri ?ahin.
This time, Boujellab didn't hesitate!
The right foot smacked hard on the football.
Boujellab, who was supposed to have a shot from distance, hit a quality burst when he was left untouched!
The football whistled without a trace of arc and drilled straight into the upper right corner of the goal!
1:6!
Dortmund's newly recovered morale was just mercilessly rekilled by Boujellab.
After watching the football fly into the net.
Boujellab went crazy!
He took off his jersey, held it in his right hand and made a mad dash for the South Stand.
This is Westfalenstadion!
Here is Westfalenstadion who blooded their FC Schalke 04 4:0 last season!
Boujellab arrogantly waved his jersey and hissed wildly at the Dortmund fans!
It was as if he had found his own music at the moment!
That madness, that arrogance, that hysterical roar, has all the Dortmund fans switching targets!
The guy in front of you who scored one goal looks more excited than the one who scored five?
Is that an insult to Dortmund?
And Boujellab's frantic celebrations had the Dortmund players looking at him one by one!
