Champion’s Heart

After fifteen days of training in the warm south of Spain, Dortmund's team returned to Dortmund, where the goose feathers and snow were still floating.

It feels like coming to a completely different parallel world.

On the evening of January 19th, Dortmund will challenge Werder Bremen on the road, this is the eighteenth round of the league.

Now the difference between Dortmund and Bayern Munich is only two points. This is a very suspenseful difference. Klopp’s strategy for the team is to catch up with Bayern Munich before the Champions League knockout begins. If they can overtake them in points Better.

And Dortmund's first Champions League knockout game was on the evening of February 13, less than a month away.

During this time, Dortmund has four league games to play.

They are the eighteenth round away against Werder Bremen, the nineteenth round against Nuremberg, the twentieth round against Leverkusen and the eleventh round against Hamburg.

These four games may be related to the situation of winning the Dortmund League this season. Because when the Champions League knockout begins, Dortmund will be distracted, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the final sprint of the league.

During the same period, Bayern Munich's opponents were Fürth, Stuttgart, Mainz and Schalke 04. The order of home and away is home, away, away, home.

It's hard to say who's opponent is more difficult to deal with, and it's hard to say who's schedule is cheaper.

Rather than focusing on the opponent, it is better to try to be a good player and to play well.

Coincidentally, after the eighteenth round of the Bundesliga, the twenty-first round of the Ligue 1 league will begin on the evening of January 20. This is probably the first game after He Ying joined Paris Saint-Germain.

It can even be said that He Ying's attention in the country is even higher than that of Dortmund. Because everyone knows that it is impossible for Zhou Yi to play the bench, but He Ying's fate has touched many people's hearts. Everyone wants to see what kind of performance He Ying can have after such a change.

On the evening of January 19th, Dortmund's away game against Werder Bremen started in the snow. The loaned Shahin sat on the bench and did not enter the starting list. This arrangement shows that Klopp did not intend to let Sahin take the lead. His positioning for Sahin is a rotation player.

And Sahin did not have any objections to this. He knew that after going through so many things, it would be nice to return to Dortmund to play. As for the main core, don't even think about it, let's be more at ease.

Both Real Madrid and Liverpool suffered setbacks, which made this once genius boy look more down-to-earth and pragmatic, and seemed to look down on a lot of fame and vanity.

In this game Klopp sent almost the strongest lineup at home. The attack lineup composed of Lewandowski, Mark, Royce, Zhou Yi and Goetze all appeared.

The strong offensive firepower made Dortmund anti-guest as soon as he came up. In the ninth minute, Royce seized the opportunity to set a record for Dortmund.

Ten minutes later, Goetze received Mark's goal and scored a close shot. Dortmund led Werder Bremen 2-0.

"Within less than 20 minutes of the opening, Dortmund has achieved a two-ball lead! And it is still on the road, which fully illustrates the strength of this Dortmund in the Bundesliga. If there is no accident this season, the championship will also be in Dortmund. And Bayern Munich between the two teams." Duan Xin commented.

"Thanks to the geothermal facility, which allows us to see the green turf, but unfortunately, this heat does not seem to be transmitted to the players of Werder Bremen, their movements are like the body is frozen on this cold winter night It's the same. In the case of Dortmund players, they are more flexible than Werder Bremen, perhaps because Dortmund players have been running all the time, they didn't feel cold at all, nor were they affected by too much weather..." Marseille Leif commented on the performance of the players of the two teams.

In this game, Werder Bremen did not perform very well. Their players did not seem to have recovered from the winter break, and the players seemed to be still at Christmas.

In the second half, he changed sides and played again. Just three minutes after the start, Zhou Yi sent a curve ball with the outside of his right foot outside the penalty area. The football bypassed the defender of Werder Bremen and accurately fell to Mark's foot Facing the football sent by Zhou Yi, instead of stopping the ball, he chose to push the shot directly. The angle was very tricky. The football rubbed the far post and rolled into the goal.

"3:0! Mark Wagner! The suspense in this game is completely over 1" Marcel Leff yelled. "As soon as the second half started, Dortmund scored again with a fast break. Werder Bremen trailed three goals at home, but it was difficult to pull it back!"

Werder Bremen is certainly not willing to admit defeat at their own home. Their coach Schaff replaced two people in one breath and replaced the defender Pryder with the young Turkish midfielder Ozkan Ildrin. And replaced another forward Peterson with Nigerian forward Joseph Akpara.

Hope to improve the offense.

However, Dortmund has led by three goals, and they do not need to continue to venture out, so that Werder Bremen sneak attack. So under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Dortmund began to play the control ball, consciously slowed down the pace.

In such a situation, Klopp also made adjustments, replaced Kouiba with Royce, and replaced with Shahin with Goze.

Sha Xin re-entered the court and will sit back to help Zhou Yi control the rhythm together.

The game gradually progressed for the 80th minute and neither side scored. Dortmund is not in a hurry, anyway they lead by three goals, Werder Bremen is very impatient.

At this time Zhou Yi realized that Dortmund could stop slowing down. Because there are three minutes left in the game anyway, it may be possible that Werder Bremen has to even three goals in the ten minutes to equalize the score, but the probability is really scary. Under such circumstances, Dortmund does not need to continue to delay the time, but can try to attack, maybe there will be more gains?

The Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League are different. When the two teams have the same points, they do not compare their winning and losing relationship, but first compare the goal difference, so they can get more goal difference in the game. The situation that may occur in the future will add more winning weights.

So he found a chance for a dead ball and ran to Sha Xin, covering his mouth with his hand and telling him his plan in Sha Xin's ear.

Sha Xin has no objection to this, everything should be done according to Zhou Yi's ideas, he only cares about assistance.

When the game resumed, Zhou Yi quickly mobilized a successful offensive. Finally, the assist was inserted by the full-back Pisceck to assist Lewandowski to score. Dortmund led Werder Bremen 4:0!

Lewandowski's goal completely killed the game's suspense. Now Werder Bremen has only one option left, which is to fight for a goal to save face. It would be too ugly if someone was shaved at home.

So in the last ten minutes, Werder Bremen's offensive was even more crazy.

Of course, in the face of crazy counterattack Werder Bremen, Zhou Yi also has no soft feet. In the 86th minute, he assisted Quba to score the last goal of Dortmund in this game.

"5:0! Kuba! Dortmund even led Werder Bremen with such a big score on the road!" Marcel Leff was a little surprised, "Werder Bremen started the second half of the league badly, see It seems that their road to relegation this season is not easy!"

In the end, Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 5:0 on the road and achieved their first start in the second half of the league.

At the end of the home game of Bayern Munich vs. Fürth earlier, Bayern Munich took a 2-0 win over Fürth. The two teams still have a two-point difference.

But in the league, winning or losing a game is not so important. Compared with the Champions League, the league is a marathon, and innermost and stable are the most important. As long as Dortmund continues to win, be patient and always get a chance.

After Zhou Yi's game, the most concerned game for Chinese fans is coming.

Not long after Dortmund’s game ended, Paris Saint-Germain announced their roster for the next match. Head coach Ancelotti put He Ying on the roster, which meant he would have a chance to play.

This game is not only concerned by domestic fans, they are also concerned about Zhou Yi.

Returning to Dortmund from the away, Zhou Yi got a day's rest. In the evening, he sat in front of the TV in the living room early, brushing his mobile phone and waiting for the game to start.

Cortana passed behind him and found that he was actually looking at the League One. He was a little surprised: "Do you also watch the game in France?"

"There is my friend." Zhou Yi briefly introduced the situation.

"Oh, okay." Cortana nodded, walked into her room, and then closed the door without disturbing Zhou Yi to watch the ball.

He Ying didn't show up in the starting list announced before the game, and he sat on the bench.

After the game started, although He Ying did not start, Zhou Yi was still watching the game very seriously, because he wanted to help He Ying analyze the situation after the game. See how you can play in this team faster, and play it steadily.

This game is Paris Saint-Germain away from Bordeaux.

Zhou Yi also went to understand the situation before the two teams. As of the twentieth round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain had 11 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, with a total of 39 points and ranked second with a two-point disadvantage.

Bordeaux ranked fourth with seven wins, eleven draws, two losses and 32 points.

On their own homes, Bordeaux did not play very well. They won only three of nine homes and tied six. Although it is the only team among all Ligue 1 teams that remains unbeaten at home, so many draws Unbeaten at home doesn't really make much sense. In these nine home games, they only scored nine goals and lost six goals, averaging only one goal, which fully demonstrates the weakness of their home offense. Bordeaux's home performance ranks 14th out of the 20 Ligue 1 teams, the sixth from the bottom.

So home is not necessarily Bordeaux's advantage.

If He Ying has a chance to play, he can actually use this point ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to impact Bordeaux's defense.

On this point, Zhou Yi actually communicated directly with He Ying by phone before the game.

For the most part of the first half, the two sides played without any surprises. Both sides did not have many shots. Bordeaux was slightly higher than Paris Saint-Germain-this is their home after all.

However, although Bordeaux had more shots than Paris Saint-Germain, the quality of their shots was not high. Only one shot hit the door frame.

The power is weak... Zhou Yi sees this and thinks that He Ying should actually go to Bordeaux. Maybe he doesn't have to sit on the bench for this game and can start directly.

On the side of Paris Saint-Germain, He Ying's competitive pressure on the front is still greater than in Bordeaux. Both starters are famous, Ibrahimovic and Ravich.

In the 43rd minute, the first half was about to end. The famous Ibrahimović seized the opportunity and scored a goal to open the record for Paris Saint-Germain and broke the deadlock.

In both games, the two visiting teams are mainly anti-guests, and have advanced the ball... (to be continued.)
