Chapter 203 Return to the League

In China, what everyone is most concerned about is Zhou Yi's "Wizard" ability, while in Germany, what everyone is most concerned about is the results of the two Champions League semi-finals. Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 4:0, and Dortmund defeated them 4:1. real Madrid.

Both teams scored two goals in the game and their opponents were unable to fight back. This score basically means that the two Bundesliga teams have reached the Champions League final, and there is no big suspense.

But why is this happening? This is what everyone is most interested in.

You know, the Bundesliga was once inferior to the French Ligue 1 and was considered an unattractive competition that was on the way to decline... The reason people gave was that the financial health policy pursued by the Bundesliga left Bundesliga clubs with not many Using money to buy famous stars is not attractive to the stars, nor is it attractive to sponsors and fans.

Moreover, in the European war, the competitiveness of the Bundesliga teams is also very weak. Only Bayern Munich can carry the banner of the Bundesliga. But what if it’s just Bayern Munich? Every time in the European war, what everyone sees is Bayern Munich, a Bundesliga team being besieged by other countries.

For a few years, Bayern Munich even managed to compete in the UEFA Cup, and the Bundesliga team that replaced him in the Champions League did not perform well enough in the Champions League.

Everyone is discussing which of the Premier League and La Liga is the best league in Europe today, while the Bundesliga has long been ignored.

But now, it is really surprising that the two teams of the Spanish Super League were beaten so badly by the two top teams of the Bundesliga.

Looking back now, the financial health policy pursued by the Bundesliga may have made them less attractive to big-name stars, but it has given young players in Germany room to grow.

Take Dortmund as an example. They are the youngest team in the Bundesliga. Such a young team has performed well in both the league and the Champions League, which does not seem to match their youthful characteristics.

The results speak for themselves. Today's Bundesliga has quietly grown into a towering tree when no one is paying attention.

Today's Champions League semi-finals are just the time for their results.

The German media are cheering for the progress of German football and believe that the success of the Bundesliga will be reflected at the national team level. They have reason to expect more from next year's World Cup in Brazil.

Although the German media, especially the Dortmund media, reported a lot about the victory against Real Madrid.

But for Dortmund's players, it would be best if they forget about this game for now.

So in the first training session after the game, Klopp spent twenty minutes giving everyone an "ideological and political lesson", asking them to erase all memories of the game from their brains, and then pay attention Focus on the next league game.

In the league, Dortmund has to catch up with Bayern Munich and cannot make mistakes in any game. In the next round of the league, they will challenge Dusseldorf away from home. Of course, they must win this game.

For Dortmund today, no event needs to be compromised for another event.

Especially after the victory against Real Madrid, Klopp was even more unwilling to give up a certain game.

Because after Gotze's transfer incident, Dortmund's players became united again through their victory against Real Madrid.

After experiencing such twists and turns, the current situation is even more valuable. How can we easily give up the hope of competing for the championship in a certain event?

Having just experienced a game against Real Madrid, the players were very excited in this game. Klopp was worried about exhaustion after the excitement. In the game against Dusseldorf, the players would not be able to perform at their normal level.

He must make the players take this game seriously from the bottom of their hearts.

※※※

The thirty-first round of the league is coming soon. Dortmund challenges Dusseldorf away. Before this game, Bayern Munich plays Freiburg at home.

In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg 1:0 at home. The scene was not pretty. After Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 4:0, it seemed that it was a little out of strength. This should arouse Dortmund's vigilance.

But no matter what, they won after all, got the crucial three points, and temporarily led Dortmund by five points despite playing one more game than Dortmund.

If Dortmund cannot win Dusseldorf on the road, whether it is a draw or a defeat, they will be widened by Bayern Munich.

Although this game is very important, Klopp still rotated the starting lineup to a certain extent, but the extent was not very large. He retained many players who started the previous game and only rotated in certain positions.

For example, Lewandowski, who was in great form in the last game and scored four goals, was on the bench in this game, and Mark Wagner started in his place.

Of course, Zhou Yi was not rotated.

Dortmund took the lead in the 20th minute of the game.

The person who scored the goal was Zhou Yi, and the person who assisted him was...Mark Wagner.

Mark, who was moving outside the penalty area, passed a good ball to Zhou Yi who was advancing forward. Zhou Yi calmly fired the shot in the penalty area, and the football ran into the far corner of the goal against the turf. Dusseldorf goalkeeper Giffel was unable to save the ball.

"Zhou Yi! This is his tenth goal in the league this season! This season is the season with the most goals since his debut! Zhou Yi, who not only assists but also scores, is getting better and better!" Duan Xin introduced excitedly.

Everyone said before that Zhou Yi had a lot of assists but not many goals. On the one hand, it shows that he is indeed selfless, but does it also mean that he is not good at scoring?

This season, Zhou Yi has significantly improved his number of goals, which at least temporarily silenced some people who questioned his low scoring ability.

While Zhou Yi is increasing his number of goals, he has not relaxed his statistics on assists. So far this season, he has contributed as many as 18 assists in the league. Seeing that this season, he must not only improve the number of goals, but also improve the number of assists. It becomes his personal all-time high, and he may also set a record in terms of assists.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi took the initiative to run to hug Mark, not only to thank him for the assist, but also to give him encouragement and support. After Lewandowski performed four goals, everyone was discussing Lewandowski. Zhou Yi wanted Mark to know that as his good friend, he would always be by his side.

※※※

Neither side scored again in the first half, and Dortmund went into the break with a one-goal lead.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the 69th minute, Klopp made his first substitution adjustment. He replaced the starting midfielder Leitner with Lewandowski. , instead of replacing Mark Wagner, which may also show that Klopp is satisfied with Mark's performance in this game, and at the same time wants to try to reunite Lewandowski and Mark.

If these two people can perform well and make one plus one greater than two, it will definitely be a great help to Dortmund's offense.

Dortmund fans and the media believe that the striker formed by these two people will definitely help the team continue to advance in the domestic league and Champions League next season.

Also substituted was Kuba, who replaced the 20-year-old Bittencourt who started the game.

As a result, Kuba received an assist from Zhou Yi and scored a goal as soon as he came on the field, helping the team take a two-goal lead!

Zhou Yi's number of assists has also increased to 19th, only one away from 20 assists. The number of twenty assists is the Bundesliga single-season assist record. This record was created by Wolfsburg player Misimovich in the 2008-2009 season.

And now it is only the 30th round of the league, Zhou Yi has already provided 19 assists, and there are still three rounds left in the league. As long as he can complete one assist, he will tie Misimovic and share this record with him. But if he can assist one more, he can create his own record!

※※※

After taking a two-goal lead, Klopp used up his last substitution and replaced Zhou Yi with Royce. It's clear that after taking a two-goal lead, he's already thinking about next Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg. He did not feel that beating Real Madrid 4:1 at home would allow Dortmund to rest easy. In order not to fall behind at the Bernabeu next Tuesday, he wanted Zhou Yi to get more rest opportunities. Zhou Yi's attendance rate this season has been greatly improved compared to previous seasons. In previous games, he was always replaced early, but this season, he persisted in playing until the end of many games.

This shows that Zhou Yi's physical fitness has been greatly improved compared to before. This is naturally due to the physical training plan formulated by the Dortmund coaching staff for Zhou Yi.

But it is now the end of the league, and no matter how physically fit a player is, he may become physically exhausted at the last moment. For the purpose of protection, of course Zhou Yi must be replaced.

Besides, they were already two goals ahead, which was a relatively safe score.

"Ah... Zhou Yi was replaced. It seems that we have to wait a little longer to see him tie Misimovich's record..." Marcel Leif was a little regretful. But he can also understand Klopp's substitution.

Dortmund's midfield control, replaced by Zhou Yi, has declined.

At the last moment, Dusseldorf, unwilling to lose at home, launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal, and Adam Bozek scored a goal in the 88th minute to tie the score. 1:2.

This goal greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the Dusseldorf players. Counting three minutes of injury time, there are still five minutes left before the end of the game. If they are lucky, it is still possible to score another goal. Ball!

So at the last moment, they completely ignored the defense and launched a desperate attack on Dortmund's goal.

Under such circumstances, I believe Bayern Munich fans will definitely cheer for Dusseldorf.

Klopp made targeted adjustments. Although he no longer had a substitution quota, he could make adjustments to the players currently on the court. He called everyone back to defend and held on until the last second.

His adjustment worked.

Until the end of the game, Dusseldorf failed to score.

In the end, Dortmund won Dusseldorf 2:1 away from home with a goal and an assist from Zhou Yi.

Continue to chase Bayern Munich with a two-point gap.

However, the suspense of the league championship cannot last long, because the next round is Dortmund's home game against Bayern Munich.

In this game, as long as there is a winner, the suspense of the championship is basically over.

If Dortmund wins, they will overtake Bayern Munich by one point. In the remaining two rounds of the league, they can win the championship if they maintain a complete victory.

If Bayern Munich wins, they will lead Dortmund by five points. As long as they win one more game in the remaining two rounds of the league, they can win the championship in advance.

The most important thing is that the victory of this kind of direct dialogue is a huge spiritual incentive for the winning team. There is almost no possibility of making mistakes and losing the advantage in the next game.

Fortunately, both Dortmund and Bayern Munich have established a large enough advantage in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals to prevent them from being too anxious and distracted.

Now as long as they finish their respective second round semi-finals with a normal mentality, they can devote all their energy to the competition for the league championship. (To be continued)).
