October 29th, German Cup second round.
Borussia Dortmund will host Paderborn at home!
Given the strength of the opponent and the upcoming schedule, Tuchel fielded a reserve lineup.
Park Joo-ho gets a starting spot!
Although he got a starting opportunity, he also completely lost the right to compete with Andy for a place in the first team!
Unless Schmelzer and Andy are injured at the same time.
But that's simply impossible!
In the end, Dortmund secured a resounding 7-1 victory over Paderborn!
Andy came on as a substitute in the 70th minute and provided an assist.
Two days later, Dortmund will play Werder Bremen away from home.
Andy started and played for 65 minutes, spending almost all of that time practicing in the attacking third.
They failed to score a single goal or provide an assist!
Werder Bremen, the home team, had 29% possession throughout the match.
0 shots on target!
Thanks to a brace from Reus, and goals from Mkhitaryan and Hummels.
Dortmund ultimately won the game 3-1 away from home!
Captain Hummels scores an own goal!
Two days later, the DM formal wear advertisement featuring Andy was officially released!
In the shot, Andy is wearing a suit and has his hair slicked back.
Anyone would think he's a gangster!
As a result, many fans left comments under DM's official tweet:
[Isn't this the Italian Mafia?]
[I suggest thoroughly investigating Andy; he might have gang connections.]
[This guy's lips are so sexy!]
[If I see him on the street, I'll avoid him!]
I really want to touch his bulging pectoral muscles.
[I can't even imagine how many women he'll attract in the future!]
[Placing an order!I love it!I'll buy more!]
The fourth round of the Europa League group stage will be held in five days.
Borussia Dortmund will host Kabarra, a team they have just faced.
Andy has finally earned his first assist in the Europa League!
In the 30th minute of the match, Andy intercepted the ball in the backfield!
Sprint at top speed along the side road!
A precise cross found Aubameyang, who was making a run into the middle!
The latter easily scored with a header!
After scoring, Aubameyang ran towards Andy.
The two recreated the fusion pose of Gohan and Trunks from Dragon Ball!
This idea was obviously Aubameyang's.
That's his favorite anime!
The match ended 4-0, with Dortmund keeping a clean sheet against their opponents!
To make matters worse, both Reus and Schmelzer were injured in the second half while battling for the ball.
It's worth noting that Dortmund has won six consecutive matches after losing to Bayern!
Morale is high!
Reus' injury has had a huge impact on Dortmund!
Moreover, in two days, they will face the most important match of the season in the 12th round of the Bundesliga!
They will host their derby rivals Schalke 04 at home!
This is a true "Ruhr derby"!
For Dortmund fans, it's no less important than the Champions League final!
Therefore, Tuchel needs to readjust his tactics and the players he will field.
He wasn't worried about Schmelzer's absence, because Andy was perfectly capable of starting!
(Park Joo-ho: So love will disappear, right?)
Post-match media reports were filled with news about Dortmund!
Barcelona aims to poach Dortmund's top players!Five key players targeted, with the club's management personally involved!
This is a feature article from Bild!
Barcelona's sporting director in charge of transfers, Braida, has watched two consecutive Borussia Dortmund matches!
The report states that Barcelona's primary target for scouting is Aubameyang!
Besides him, the list also includes: Gündoğan, Hummels, Reus, Weigl, and Andy.
Even before the Europa League, during a UEFA fan interaction session, Aubameyang expressed his desire to play in Spain.
Reus also said that he wants to play with players like Ronaldo and Messi.
The most surprising players were the two young players, Weigl and Andy!
The report states that the two players' current estimated market value is approximately €7 million and €5 million respectively.
He has already secured a place in Dortmund's starting lineup!
When Andy saw this news, he burst out laughing!
Barcelona is interested in every player who performs well in the league!
But who doesn't know that their salaries are already fully saturated?
Even a young player like myself would be loaned out if I went there!
Where can you find the best starting position at Borussia Dortmund?
Go play football at Camp Nou?
No way!
I wouldn't go no matter how much money you offered!
Unless a starting position and playing time are guaranteed!
The club's CEO also addressed this matter in a media interview!
Watzke stated that all players are not for sale!
They are the cornerstone of the team's continued development.
Andy didn't believe a single punctuation mark of this statement!
For Borussia Dortmund, buying our players is not out of the question.
But it will cost extra!
Once a player is sold, Watzke will definitely say:
"Everything is for the development of the club."
The Ruhr region became lively over the next two days!
Not only local residents, but also Chinese students and tourists who came from afar!
Many travel agencies include Dortmund in their European travel itineraries.
And Andy's noodle shop has become a must-visit spot!
To this end, Comrade Lao An specially created a giant group photo of Dortmund players.
It has the signatures of all the Dortmund players and the manager!
To make it easier for tourists to take photos.
The team of nine, including the chef, was incredibly busy!

[Meituan vs.Ele.me!A major battle is about to begin!]

Schalke has actually performed quite well this season; Dortmund needs to be careful.
[Hunter's efficiency is quite high, not to mention there's the promising young Sane on the right flank!]
[If Andy were on the left wing, he would directly challenge Sané, as their market value is roughly equal.]
[That's great!Andy must be the most valuable Chinese player in Europe.]
[That's true in Europe, but not in China.There are countless people in China with a net worth exceeding ten million!]
[What you're talking about is the transfer fee; we're talking about the transfer value, they're not the same thing!]
