Champion’s Heart

"Hey, Mark, if someone interviews you, can you not say that the interview is an award speech..." After taking a day off and seeing Mark again, Zhou Yi vomited to Mark.

He later saw Mark's performance in an interview.

"I am telling the truth..."

"But at that time you were the protagonist, did you still lift me out and show me the limelight?"

"It's not bad for you to be in the limelight, ha!" Mark smiled.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.

But his heart was still very gratifying. This kid did not deteriorate because of outstanding performance in two consecutive games. He was still the mark.

The next round of the league, Dortmund challenged St Pauli away.

Judging from the strength of both sides, there is no suspense in this game.

At the same time, Klopp made some adjustments to the team's starting lineup because of the consideration of the Champions League group stage next week.

Mark, who has performed well in two consecutive games, appeared in the starting lineup again.

However, Zhou Yi did not start.

The man who replaced him was Lewandowski.

As a reward for scoring a goal in the last game and conscientiously working hard during the training, Klopp also put Lewandowski on the starting list. This is also the first time the Polish starter this season.

Dortmund played 442 away, and Sven Bender was a midfielder in the midfield.

And let Klopp do this naturally because of the last game, saw Lewandowski can coexist with Mark. So he intends to give the pair more time to experiment.

Anyway, the opponents in this game are not very strong. If you don’t try this game, will you use the next UEFA Champions League group match?

In the end, Dortmund defeated St. Pauli 3-1 on the road with half of the main lineup.

Neither Mark nor Lewandowski scored.

But Mark had an assist.

He assisted Kagawa Shinji to score a goal.

GrossKreuz scored the remaining two goals.

After defeating St. Pauli 3:1, Dortmund started preparing for the second round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week.

For Dortmund, the Champions League is more important.

In the second group match, Dortmund faced Twente at home-the champion of the Dutch League last season.

In the first round of the group stage, the upset in this group was not Dortmund defeating Valencia away, but Twente even tied the defending champion Inter Milan at home 2:2

That game was really unexpected.

After the game started Inter Milan's advanced ball, but after six minutes Twente equalized the score.

Then Inter Milan striker Milito scored another goal. Inter Milan actually fell behind in the score.

Before the end of the first half. Eto'o helped the team to equalize the score.

Then in the second half, neither side scored, the score of 2:2 was maintained until the end, the defending champion Inter Milan's first group match did not win.

Although Twente is a third-grade team. But everyone thinks that they are the weakest team in this group, Inter Milan defeated them for granted. The key is to get a few more goal difference on them.

In the face of the weakest opponent, Inter Milan did not win!

After this game, Inter coach Benitez was criticized.

So Dortmund did not dare to underestimate Twente's opponent. In case they are following Inter Milan's footsteps, isn't it wrong?

Although the opponent is not strong in terms of paper strength. Klopp also asked the team to be prepared.

Mark, who performed well in the league, got the opportunity to start in this game, this is his first time to participate in the Champions League. It is also the first time in the Champions League to start.

Because of Inter Milan's lesson, Dortmund played cautiously at home after the game started. I'm afraid of losing the ball first.

And Twente played very sloppy, they ran tirelessly. Especially in the midfield and the frontcourt, it really makes Dortmund a bit uncomfortable.

In the first half, the two sides played together.

In order to be able to get points on the road, Twente is also extremely useful. As long as the rules allow...

Their goalkeeper Nikolai Mikhailov even got a yellow card for delaying time.

It was already forty minutes at that time, and five minutes before the end of the first half, Dortmund's offensive was gradually becoming fierce. Mikhailov worried that the team would lose the ball at the last minute. If so, it would have confidence in the team's morale. It was a huge blow, so the strategy of delaying time was adopted. Of course, this approach also brought him a yellow card.

At the end of the first half, neither team was able to score a goal, the score was 0:0.

Marcel Leif also thinks that Twente's team is really a bit different: "In the last game, they played 2:2 with defending champion Inter Milan at the end of the first half, and this In the first game, they still had a draw and did not concede a goal. Their defense does have a set..."

※※※

There was no goal in the first half, and the team was unable to open the offense, making Mark anxious, but in the locker room he found Zhou Yi was calm, so he was very strange: "Zhou Yi, don't you worry?"

"What are you worried about?" Zhou Yi asked strangely.

"We haven't been able to break Twente's door for 45 minutes!"

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "Then we still have 45 minutes."

It seemed that he was not in a hurry. Mark shook Zhou Yi's arm: "How can you be so calm, Zhou Yi?"

"Because this is the Champions League, Mark. This is the Champions League." Zhou Yi said while shaking his head. "You think, which of the teams that can come to the Champions League is fish-fed? Which one should have some skill? So it's only 45 minutes without scoring, so there's nothing to fuss about?"

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Mark was stunned. He slowly released his hand and looked at Zhou Yi. After a while, he reacted.

"You're right, Zhou Yi... this is the Champions League!" He said, clenching his fists and looking up.

This is his first Champions League. In addition to the different music at the entrance, the Champions League is actually different from the league...

※※※

Although the first half did not play well, Klopp did not adjust his tactics. There is no substitution.

Just leave it as it is. The team returned to the court.

After the second half started, Dortmund continued to control the situation, while Twente retreated to his own half.

Everyone knows that the first five minutes of the game and the five minutes before the end are the easiest to lose the ball.

Twente is not stupid here either. They certainly don't have to press out and attack each other.

In this game, they have a very realistic desire. That is to fight for peace, if there is a particularly good opportunity, then consider winning.

Twente is pretty good. It did indeed recover the defense.

But their goal was still broken in the 48th minute-just three minutes from the second half!

"Mario Goetze!!!" Live broadcast Norbert Decor held the microphone and looked up at the sky.

The cheering in the stands was even more deafening.

In their cheers, Goetze ran to the corner banner area.

His teammates chased him behind. And hugged him in Jiaoqi District.

"Goetze scored the first goal for Dortmund! This is his second goal in the Champions League! Both consecutive Champions League group goals have been scored, Goetze really deserves a lot of attention! Leif made every effort to praise Goetze.

Last week Zhou Yi showed his limelight, and Geze was less conspicuous by comparison. More often, it comes off the bench. But this season, with the transfer of Sahin left. Zhou Yi withdrew from his position, and Geze also ushered in his own moment.

This genius of German football naturally entrusts the expectations of more Germans. Everyone hopes he can play well, his condition is getting better and better, and he will bring his status in the club to the national team.

Although Zhou Yi is good, it is a pity that he is a Chinese...

※※※

Goetze's goal helped Dortmund to take the lead, and also made Dortmund's team find the feeling.

Just three minutes after he scored a goal, Mark received a pass from Zhou Yi in the penalty area and was tripped to the ground by Twente's player. The referee did not hesitate to punish Twente for a foul and gave Dortmund A penalty!

There was no controversy about this penalty. Mark did not show any signs of falling, and there was no way for Twente players to appeal.

Dortmund has an unwritten rule, that is, unlike other teams, they do not have a fixed order of penalty players, such as the first penalty player, the second penalty player.

No, Klopp did not make such an arrangement at all.

So what happens when Dortmund gets a penalty?

It depends on whoever feels good and who gets the penalty. If he gets the penalty, then if he gets a penalty next time, it will still be him until the person doesn’t want to take a penalty or loses the penalty.

Before the Dortmund penalty kick was taken by Shahin, do you still remember the penalty kick in the Ruhr Derby Zhou Yi who fell in the Schalke 04 penalty zone last season?

The penalty player is Sahin.

But this season Sahin left the team and Dortmund has yet to score a penalty.

So who will punish?

Goetze has just scored a goal and is in perfect condition. Everyone wants him to take a penalty.

But Geze didn't want to kick this penalty, he asked Zhou Yi: "Will you come?"

As a result, Zhou Yi shook his head and refused: "My first Champions League goal is not like a penalty."

"Hey, don't look at the starting ball!" Gotze couldn't help shouting.

"I don't mean to ignore the kick, but I think such a memorable goal. If it's a penalty...it's boring to say..." Zhou Yi shook his head and refused to take the penalty.

At the same time he asked Mark: "Will you come?"

Mark looked at the football and shook his head: "I don't want the first UEFA Champions League goal to be scored with a penalty. I think I should be able to score more beautifully with my own strength..."

Goetze, Zhou Yi and Mark didn't take penalty kicks, which really surprised everyone.

Originally, they all thought that they should be stealing the penalty kick.

But I didn't expect that Zhou Yi and Mark both seemed quite ambitious.

Seeing that all three young teammates didn't punish, Hummels couldn't help but stood out from the crowd: "I'll do it."

No one commented, so Hummels stepped forward and put the football on the penalty spot.

Others withdrew from the restricted area.

When only Humels and the goalkeeper Mikhailov were in the penalty area, the referee blew his whistle.

Hummels runs up and then shoots!

The football flew into the goal, 2: 0!
