Chapter 215 Everyone Has a Reason to Win
In response to Zhou Yi's answer in an interview that he would not go to Bayern Munich, some Munich media responded like this: "Remind Zhou Yi that although he won two Bundesliga titles in Dortmund, he has not won it yet. Champions League champion.”
The implication is that Bayern Munich can win the Champions League, but Dortmund cannot.
However, Zhou Yi no longer has time to quarrel with reporters in the media. The game with Bayern Munich is already close at hand.
At 0:30 a.m. on May 5th, Beijing time, Dortmund’s home match against Bayern Munich is about to kick off.
The time of this game is not considered prime time for Chinese TV viewers. It is a bit late. It was already two o'clock in the morning after watching the game. This time is not friendly to Chinese fans who have to go to work and school.
There were rumors before that the Bundesliga officials would take care of the time of Chinese TV viewers and move the game to 9:30 pm Beijing time. But in this case, the game time will become the afternoon of May 4th, Dortmund local time. This decision was firmly resisted by Bayern Munich. The rest time is not enough in the first place, and if the game time is increased, it will not be enough.
Dortmund may be willing to change the game time to take care of Chinese fans, because they have Chinese players in their team, but we at Bayern Munich don’t have Chinese players. Why do we need adult beauty?
Of course, this is just a rumor and has never been officially confirmed.
Although the time was not good, there were still a large number of Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV for this game, waiting for the game to start.
Anyway, La Liga, which often kicks off at 3:30 or 5 in the morning, is watched by many people in China. Compared with La Liga, Bundesliga, which kicks off at 0:30, is already very early...
On the Chinese Internet, more than ten hours before the start of the game, everyone was already discussing the game.
Bayern Munich's outstanding performance this season made the match between the two teams full of suspense. The first meeting between the two teams in the league ended in a 1:1 draw.
Bayern Munich led by one goal until the last five minutes of the game, but Zhou Yi equalized with a rub shot from outside the penalty area.
Although Bayern Munich still won the winter break championship after a draw, they have not been able to widen the points gap with Dortmund since then, which laid the foundation for the current decisive battle in Tianwang Mountain.
If Bayern Munich could beat Dortmund at home,
The lead now will definitely not be only two points, but five points. If there can really be a five-point gap, then this game will not be so important and critical now...
But there are no ifs in life, and there are no ifs in football.
No matter what, since all the coincidences have turned this game into such an important battle at Tianwang Mountain, let's have a good time fighting it.

In the dressing room of the Westminster Stadium, Dortmund head coach Klopp is making final preparations for his men.
"There are still ten minutes left and the game is about to start. No need for me to say anything more, I believe you all know the importance of this game. I will not deceive myself and tell you that this is just an ordinary league. Some people say that in today's world In Germany, except for Bayern Munich, no team has been able to achieve three consecutive league championships. The standings so far this season seem to prove that this statement is correct. But I want to say 'shit'! I know we are not afraid Bayern Munich, you also know this. It has been proven countless times in the past two seasons that Bayern Munich should be afraid of us! This season, when they performed so well, they failed to beat us at their own home court. , what does this mean?”
Klopp paused for a moment, and then continued: "This shows that the real situation is that Bayern Munich is afraid of us! After saying that Bayern Munich has not been able to win three consecutive league championships, then we will win three consecutive league championships and show them! Thank you to the league The schedule, with the last three games left, allows us to talk directly to Bayern Munich, and things become simple - as long as we can beat them, we will be top of the league! Use these ninety minutes to Prove to them that we, Dortmund, are the dominant players in the league today!"
Klopp's impassioned speech made the players excited and howling, like a herd of wild horses about to break free, ready to smash all obstacles in front of them at any time!
At the same time, in the Bayern Munich dressing room, Heynckes said to his players with a solemn face: "Just because we are two points ahead now, don't think that as long as we can draw with them away from home, we can win." Championship. This idea is very dangerous. Forget draws. In the football world, there is only victory or defeat. If you can't win, you will lose. In this game, everyone must show their best state and the most serious attitude. Treat. Remember, we have only one goal, and that is to beat them at their home court!"
The Bayern Munich players were also very excited. This season is the last season for coach Heynckes at Bayern Munich. He has been working with this team for two years. During these two years of working together, the players have respected the coach very much.
In fact, this is not the first time that the coach has coached Bayern Munich. After becoming the head coach, this is his third time coaching Bayern Munich.
From 1987 to 1988, Heynckes coached the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for the first time and led the team to win two league championships. But then he was dismissed midway through the season because he lost control of the team.
Since then, Heynckes has coached many teams and once led Real Madrid to the Champions League. No more involvement with Bayern Munich.
However, in the second half of the 2008-2009 season, due to Klinsmann's dismissal, Heynckes was already out of work at home. Heynckes, who was in retirement, was invited back by Bayern Munich as the interim head coach to help this team at the bottom win the championship. To the league runner-up.
The comeback at Bayern Munich seemed to make the old coach feel the passion of coaching a team again. After ending his job as the fire-fighting head coach at Bayern Munich, he turned to coach Bayer Leverkusen and helped this team win the league. runner up.
In 2011, due to the strong rise of Dortmund, Bayern Munich lost the league championship again. At the same time, Van Gaal also lost control of the locker room and was fired early by the Bayern Munich club executives. After firing Van Gaal, Bayern Munich chose to take over. When I was young, I thought of Heynckes.
The two parties signed a two-year contract in advance, which took effect in July 2011.
In this way, Heynckes coached Bayern Munich for the third time. However, from the beginning of his coaching, everyone felt that Heynckes was brought by Bayern Munich to put out the fire. They will never give up looking for a truly world-class coach to lead Bayern Munich against Dortmund, and he must be young.
As long as Bayern Munich finds the right person, Heynckes will leave again.
Bayern Munich announced the signing of Guardiola in advance in January this year, which seemed to prove this point.
The old coach also announced that the last half of the season at Bayern Munich will be the last half of his coaching career. After fulfilling the contract with Bayern Munich, he will retire completely and will no longer serve as the coach of any team. Head coach.
After announcing the signing of Guardiola, in fact, no one has any requirements for Heynckes' coaching performance. As for the task of fighting Dortmund, it was handed over to Guardiola. Everyone is relatively optimistic that as long as Guardiola comes to power, he can lead Bayern Munich back to the top and defeat Dortmund.
But who would have thought that in the last half of the league season, Bayern Munich's performance was very stable, winning consecutive games and always maintaining the lead over Dortmund in the league standings. Not only that, in the German Cup, the team he led also eliminated Dortmund and now reached the final of the German Cup. In the Champions League semi-finals, they eliminated Barcelona with an astonishing score of 7:0 and reached the Champions League final. As a result, this veteran coach whose coaching career is counting down by the day actually has the opportunity to lead Bayern Munich to achieve the first Triple Crown in the history of German football!
This really shocked many people.
But the Bayern Munich players probably won’t be surprised, because they have worked with Heynckes for two seasons. They are very aware of Heynckes’ ability and personality, as well as his stubbornness and poor communication skills with players. Compared with Gal, coach Heynckes is kinder and can better manage Bayern Munich's locker room, making the "Bundesliga Hollywood" united. This is probably the main reason why Bayern Munich can keep Dortmund behind this season. .
Regarding the veteran coach's dedicated work, Bayern Munich players all hope to bid farewell to their respected coach with three championship trophies.
This game against Dortmund is the first step towards achieving their goal.

Players from both sides had determination and reasons to win, so they met in the tunnel.
In the stadium outside, Dortmund fans were chanting Dortmund's lineup under the leadership of DJ Norbert Dicker. Every Dortmund player received cheers, even Gotze was no exception. Although the cheers The voice was obviously much smaller than that of his teammates - some Dortmund fans who were still upset about Gotze's transfer to Bayern Munich were unwilling to cheer for Gotze, but they also didn't want to boo and make their opponents laugh at their internal unity, so they Choose silence.
Although many people in both teams are teammates of the national team and even have good personal relationships with each other, at this time, everyone stood quietly in their own teams, not looking away, and no one went to compete with the other team. Say hello and chat with friends.
The referee team came out of the lounge, and under his leadership, the players from the two teams lined up into the West** Stadium.
The scene was filled with cheers.
