Although their own goal had just been subjected to a continuous and fierce attack, almost being breached, Pep Guardiola quickly made adjustments to further strengthen the attack, replacing center-back Van Buyten with Mandzukic.

This was a very bold substitution, but Bayern Munich had no other choice. They couldn't possibly bring on a defender and hope to hold onto a one-goal deficit, could they?

Similarly, Borussia Dortmund didn't retreat into a full defensive line in the final few minutes of the game just because they were only leading by one goal. They might do that against other teams, but not against Bayern Munich. At least not against this summer's Bayern Munich; they wouldn't be so conservative.

So when the game restarted, the two teams continued to trade blows.

Such a game was naturally exciting to watch, but it also concealed a huge crisis.

Bayern Munich could seize Dortmund's defensive loopholes and equalize. Conversely, Dortmund could also seize Bayern Munich's defensive loopholes and completely seal the victory, depending on who had the stronger ability to seize opportunities.

In the eighty-sixth minute, Bayern Munich organized an attack. According to Guardiola's coaching style, they passed the ball back and forth in midfield, looking for opportunities.

Dortmund countered with aggressive pressing and encirclement in midfield.

The encirclement gradually narrowed, and when Thiago got the ball, he was surrounded by three Dortmund players in yellow jerseys, with no teammates nearby.

Thiago, surrounded, panicked a little. He seemed to glimpse a teammate to his right in the corner of his eye. So he quickly passed the ball over.

But the ball didn't reach his teammate; it was intercepted by Zhou Yi with a sliding tackle!

The ball, knocked away by Zhou Yi, landed at Mark's feet in front.

Mark turned around and didn't pass the ball immediately. Instead, he withstood Alaba's tackle from behind and dribbled the ball forward, attracting Bayern Munich's center-back Boateng to him. At this moment, on the left side of Bayern Munich's defense, Dortmund's right wing attack was completely open. Aubameyang quickly pushed forward.

Boateng also saw this, but he couldn't possibly let go of Mark in front of him and run to defend Aubameyang. Leaving aside whether doing so was right or wrong, even if he rushed over, he wouldn't make it in time. So he could only take another step forward, hoping to create an offside, so that when Mark passed the ball to Aubameyang, the latter would be in an offside position. As for whether he could succeed... that was up to fate. In fact, there was always a certain element of gambling involved in the team's offside traps...

Mark did pass the ball over.

Passed it into the open space, into Aubameyang's feet!

"Mark with a through ball, great pass! Not offside!"

Boateng's offside trap failed, because at the far end, Lahm followed Reus back, lagging behind...

"The opportunity has come! Aubameyang!" Marcel Reif shouted excitedly.

Aubameyang ran wildly with the ball, attracting the defenders.

At the same time, Reus was also quickly cutting in towards the goal. He used his speed and the advantage of starting first to keep Bayern Munich's captain Lahm behind him.

Seeing this, Neuer decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, hoping to block Aubameyang's shot.

But Aubameyang was very clear-headed and didn't try to take all the credit. Just as Neuer was about to block his angle, he slid a pass across to the center.

Reus followed up with a push!

The ball rolled into the empty net behind Neuer without any suspense...

"Goal! 4:2! Dortmund has completely locked in the victory! This game is over! Dortmund will win this season's Super Cup! They have won the first championship of the new season!"

Although this was a goal in the eighty-seventh minute, Marcel Reif could indeed announce the final result.

If they were only one goal behind, Bayern Munich could still fight. Being two goals behind was another story. And conceding a goal at this time was a huge blow to Bayern Munich's morale. It was unknown how much fighting spirit the Bayern Munich players would have after the game restarted...

※※※

After scoring, Reus ran to Aubameyang, wanting to give this new team member a big hug, right below the South Stand.

For a newcomer, there was no better opportunity to gain the approval of Dortmund fans than this game—defeating arch-rivals Bayern Munich in the Super Cup, and with a score of 4:2, scoring four goals against Bayern Munich!

"...Before the game started, Bayern Munich, who were in excellent form during the warm-up matches, were the favorites to win the championship, while Dortmund was heavily criticized for their trip to China. But reality gave many people a resounding slap in the face..." Marcel Reif sighed. "Dortmund, who were not favored before the game, performed very aggressively in the game... We can't say that Bayern Munich's performance in this game was bad, but at least in the early stages of the game, Bayern Munich's performance was indeed not good enough. Guardiola's team was a bit slow to warm up. Perhaps when facing other opponents who are not as strong as them, such a slow warm-up is harmless. But when facing Dortmund, who are known for their speed and pace, being slow to get into the game can be fatal..."

After the television broadcast finished showing the Dortmund players celebrating and Klopp celebrating, it cut to a close-up of Guardiola. In the shot, Guardiola was sitting on the coaching bench, picking up a bottle of mineral water and taking a sip. Apart from that, he didn't make any movements, and there was no expression on his face. It could even be described as "dazed."

The Bundesliga hadn't even started yet, and Dortmund had already given him a warning in his coaching career at Bayern Munich—telling this young manager who had won all the honors a club manager could win at Barcelona that although the Bundesliga's popularity was not as good as the English Premier League or La Liga, it was definitely not a place where he could walk all over everyone.

"This is the first time Guardiola has conceded four goals in a single game in 207 official matches since Barcelona lost 3:4 to Atletico Madrid on March 1, 2009. And the last time Bayern Munich conceded four goals in a single game was also against Dortmund, in the 2012 German Cup final, when Bayern Munich lost 2:5 to Dortmund... After Dortmund achieved unprecedented results last season, we can still see some media outlets saying that Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich was due to luck. I want to say that this is simply self-deception... At least from this game, we can see that Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich is convincing!"

Marcel Reif was criticizing some Munich media. After experiencing failures in the Champions League and league last season, some Munich media irresponsibly said that Dortmund was able to win entirely because of good luck—they attributed Zhou Yi's two game-winning goals against Bayern Munich and Mark's equalizing goal in the Champions League final to Dortmund's good luck.

Such a statement might still have some market in Munich, but outside of Munich, no one cared about it.

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich launched a very rushed and ineffective attack. Mandzukic's long shot was easily saved by Weidenfeller.

Next, Klopp made a substitution, replacing Zhou Yi with center-back Papastathopoulos.

"Zhou Yi is being substituted. After securing the victory, substituting Zhou Yi means there's no need to worry about losing control of the midfield and conceding goals—such things have happened before in the previous two seasons. Zhou Yi's performance in this game was also very good. At the very beginning of the game, he scored a rebound goal for Dortmund, which laid the foundation for Dortmund's performance in this game..." Marcel Reif gave his final verdict on Zhou Yi's performance in this game.

When Zhou Yi left the field, all the Dortmund fans stood up and applauded him.

Zhou Yi also raised his hands and applauded the fans in thanks.

Yan Min watched this scene and couldn't help but imagine in his mind—what would it be like if he could enjoy such treatment in Dortmund in the future?

※※※

Zhou Yi's substitution also meant that the game was basically over, and the remaining time was garbage time.

Although Boateng fouled Mark in the subsequent game and received a yellow card as a result, it didn't change anything.

In the end, Bayern Munich lost 2:4 away from home.

Of course, after the game, the Munich media could still argue that this was because Bayern Munich was playing away from home, and Dortmund's home advantage was too great. But they forgot that last season Bayern Munich also defeated Dortmund at their home ground and lifted the Super Cup. So if we're talking about home advantage, Bayern Munich has also benefited from it...

※※※

After Dortmund lifted the trophy, they returned to the locker room. And Yan Min also came to the locker room accompanied by his agent to celebrate with the team. Although he had not played in any games on behalf of the first team, and even his training was not systematic or specific, he was, after all, a member of the Dortmund first team. He transferred to Dortmund in this capacity, not as a youth team player. Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to enter the locker room to celebrate.

As soon as he stepped into the locker room door, Yan Min was drenched in champagne...

He, dressed in casual clothes, became a drowned rat.

His agent, Li Jicheng, was also unfortunately affected, and half of his suit was wet.

But while Li Jicheng was still stunned, Yan Min had already rushed in, yelling.

Zhou Yi handed him a bottle of champagne and pointed to Grosskreutz, who was running into the crowd, and said to him, "Get revenge on the right person, go after him!"

Yan Min shook the champagne and rushed up, shouting and laughing, and blended in with his new teammates.

Li Jicheng, who was at the door, was stunned when he saw this scene—he had thought that with Yan Min's bad temper, integrating into the new team would be a very long and painful process. He didn't expect that it seemed like Yan Min was about to seamlessly integrate?

He couldn't understand the young people of today, he couldn't understand this world...
