Chapter 208 Dialogue Between the Championship Group

In this game, Klopp arranged for Zize to start. When arranging the lineup this season, Zize rested in games where he could rest, but this time he intends to let Zize play with young players and substitutes. .

It is also an opportunity for Zitzer himself to experience the different style differences between the various leagues.

The Dutch league advocates offense and is very open. Many teams don't care about defense. This is a style.

The Premier League pays attention to confrontation, speed, and efficiency. It is like an enhanced version of the Dutch League.

The style of play in the Russian league is relatively rough, but what Dortmund encountered was a Russian team that paid attention to technology and was relatively delicate, but it can also be seen that Maozi has a good fighting ability and a very strong spirit.

Now also experience the team from Belgium. Belgium is located between Germany, France and the Netherlands. Their football style has also been influenced by the surrounding countries. In fact, the Belgian national team has a Dutch-speaking team and a French-speaking team. The two major factions, the European Red Devils are very much influenced by the Orange Tulip and the Gallic Rooster.

The Belgian league has two major characteristics of Ligue 1 and Eredivisie. One is that there are many players of African descent, and the other is that they are very offensive.

At the West ** Stadium, Standard Liege also caused a little trouble for the home team.

The European war old fritters are very clear about their own strength in front of the five major league teams. In the country, the vigorous and vigorous style has been slightly restrained, and they have changed to a more secure defensive counterattack. This momentum seems to be like the last round of waves. Hong played against Dortmund.

But Dortmund proved that games like that were just a normal accident.

In the 40th minute, with five minutes left in the first half, Dortmund broke the deadlock. Zize showed his ability to break the deadlock and scored a goal in an unguarded position near the penalty area. The goal was very clever. It can be said that the goal came in exchange for keen awareness. Hajnal passed the ball into the penalty area to create chaos.

Then in the second half, Dortmund seemed to have found the essence of breaking through the dense defense, and found a good chance to score in 53 minutes.

It was a free kick from the sideline of the front court. Brazilian left-back Dede took the penalty. His compatriot Santana's header was blocked by a standard Liege player on the goal line.

Then Qi Ce made a follow-up shot, which was not weak, but it was too straight and was blocked by the goalkeeper, causing confusion, but in the end it still failed to score.

But it's not over yet!

In the 60th minute, Bender blasted a long-range shot from outside the penalty area and hit the crossbar. Shortly thereafter, the young player Jingchek, who had a chance to come off the bench in this game, fell to the ground in the penalty area and almost scored!

I don't know if Dortmund is getting more and more comfortable with this kind of defense or if Standard Liege lost the fighting spirit after falling behind by two goals in total.

In the second half of the game, although Standard Liege faithfully implemented defensive counterattack tactics, Dortmund had many opportunities.

Finally, in the 69th minute, he broke the opponent's goal again. It was Rangilov who scored the goal. This was a Dortmund counterattack. Bender intercepted the ball, and then Dortmund played a counterattack, and Rangeilov made the final decision.

As soon as the goal was scored, Klopp immediately replaced Zize with Gotze for a rest, and Rangeilov went to the striker.

The final result of the game was 3:1. Not long after Zize left the field, Standard Liege scored. This was Standard Liege’s midfielder Defour’s long-range shot from outside the penalty area. Many home fans were taken aback.

Fortunately, shortly thereafter, Subotic scored a header from a free kick in the frontcourt and sealed the victory.

Klopp can't help but sigh, breaking the dense defense, the set ball is still effective!

The result of this game reassured the fans a lot, at least the team's response was very positive.

It will be important for their next game against Bayer Leverkusen, one of the title rivals this season.

It may be an exaggeration to use the term title rival. After all, Bayern Munich is already the champion in the eyes of many media fans. Not to mention Leverkusen, Dortmund, who is two points away, is not taken seriously by many people. .

But at least as opponents for the Champions League qualification, Leverkusen's performance this season is still quite satisfactory for them. After 26 league rounds, they rank fourth in the league, and there is only one point difference between Schalke 04 and third place.

The previous match against Bayern Munich was a key match for the championship, so this game is a key match for the qualification for the Champions League.

Can't lose again!

If they overturned in key battles one after another, this must be unacceptable to the fans. There are not many losses this season, but every time is very important. The first time I lost to Schalke 04, I lost the Ruhr Derby, and then He lost directly to the championship rivals Bayern Munich and then Bochum, which led to the loss of the top position in the league.

If you lose this game, it is the same as losing to Bayern.

Dortmund scored 59 points, behind Schalke 04 and Leverkusen were 54 and 53 points respectively. If they lose in a direct dialogue, the gap will be close at once, and then they will be overtaken again if they lose to any opponent in the back. !

Once this kind of thing is a lesson, one after another is a problem with the mentality of the team. They have played against opponents this season. In terms of strength, there will not be much change before this season.

Bayern Munich is an exception. In the first half of the season, they adjusted themselves and adapted to the new coach. It is difficult for such a strong team to be used as a reference.

At 8:00 pm on March 21st, the match between the two sides officially started at the Westerly Stadium. The twenty-seventh round of the Bundesliga between Borussia Dortmund and the pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen at home.

It's also a battle of focus.

Theoretically speaking, Leverkusen, Schalke 04, Dortmund and Bayern Munich still have a theoretical possibility of winning the championship. The next level of these four teams is the Hamburg team with 43 points. It is impossible for Hamburg, which has widened the gap between the crown group and the championship group, to discuss the possibility of competing for the championship.

It can even be said that these four teams have basically secured the Champions League and Europa League places for next season. Unless there is a big crash, with only eight rounds left in the league, a ten-point gap can be described as a gap.

Dortmund's game against Leverkusen is a contest between Champions League qualifications.

Leverkusen defeated Hamburg in a key battle with a score of 4:2 in the last round, establishing the gap between the first group and the second group, and then they will face Dortmund.

West ** Stadium, the two sides of the game have been waiting for the battle, and the fans have made preparations early. They once again played a huge TIFO to express their support for the team with practical actions.

The fans were disappointed when they lost to Bochum in the last round, but they still bought tickets to come to the scene in the next round. The fans will spontaneously organize corresponding support items and wait for the match to start.

The performance against Standard Liege made the fans more confident. When the Leverkusen players stepped into the stadium, they turned their heads and saw a huge TIFO slowly rising on the South Stand. This is 2002 Dortmund held up a portrait of the Bundesliga salad plate in 1999, with a cartoon bumblebee on top, and the character on the portrait is the current captain of Dortmund, Sebastian Kell.

He was also a champion member of that team. Seeing this scene, Kyle waved to the South Stand.

This is the second time Qi Ce has seen a giant TIFO at the Westfield Stadium. Of course, it is not as shocking as the first time. It was a giant TIFO played by all three stands in the audience. The imagery and impact are too strong!

But this time it wasn't bad at all.

This is the attitude of Dortmund fans to support the team today. Everyone is not optimistic about us, but we are still willing to support the team!

To their delight, the team did not feel discouraged by being behind in the league, and with the support of the whole audience, the team showed their strength from the first minute.

Less than three minutes into the game, Dortmund had already completed two shots. Zize led Zidane, Kuba rushed into the frontcourt, seeing that there was no chance to pass back to the middle, Shaheen aimed at the goal and kicked directly!

The ball hit the post and flew out of bounds, but Dortmund's offense was far from over. Leverkusen kicked the goal kick, and Subotic directly pushed it back to the midfield. Zidan, who retreated to catch the ball, cleverly unloaded the ball , a through plug!

Zize retreated, took the ball in the penalty area, held Friedrich on his shoulders, and knocked the opponent away with all his strength, then turned around and shot!

Zize's shot was very cunning. He aimed at the far corner, but drew directly to the near corner. Adler threw himself in another direction, but was blocked by Schwab standing in front of the goal!

Just as the fans were sighing, Shinji Kagawa in the penalty area burst out from the crowd and kicked the ball into the net!

1:0, Dortmund easily took the lead, but it's not over yet.

In the 27th minute, Leverkusen had to use a tactical foul in Dortmund's quick counterattack to stop Zize from advancing, and then Zize took a direct free kick. A free kick with a fast foot and a large arc directly scores the goal!
