Chapter 254: The Last Stand

After Paris Saint-Germain defeated Lance 3-0, the official announced that Ibrahimovic would miss three games. Including the one that has been missed, it means that it will miss four games in total.

This has a great impact on Paris Saint-Germain.

French media have been talking about this these days. The score of the first round of 3:1 seemed quite safe, but now it seems that there is some suspense.

It makes sense that everyone attaches so much importance to the role of Ibrahimovic.

This season, Ibrahimovic played forty-two games in various competitions, contributing forty goals and seventeen assists. Paris Saint-Germain played a total of 46 games in each county this season and scored 113 goals. This means that Ibrahimovic had only missed four games in total, and the goals he participated in account for 50.4% of the team's total goals this season, which is usually a little more!

His absence means that Paris Saint-Germain lost the most confident offensive point and the most threatening pass, which made Paris Saint-Germain's last four tickets that were almost obtained by Paris Saint-Germain became uncertain.

However, there are also Paris media cheering and comforting the Paris Saint-Germain fans.

Although Ibrahimovic was absent, Paris Saint-Germain still has He Ying, who is in good shape recently.

He Ying is in very good shape. He scored twice in the Champions League against Dortmund. In the weekend's match against Lance, he was arranged to rest, but he immediately scored a goal after he came on the bench. Such a hot feeling of feet naturally makes everyone have high hopes for him.

No one asks for more. As long as He Ying can score even one goal in the away game against Dortmund, he can break the balance and tilt the advantage to Paris Saint-Germain.

Moreover, Dortmund is facing a game against Bayern Munich, which will definitely distract the players. In addition, their main right-back Pisczek is unable to play in this game because of accumulating yellow cards.

These are all opportunities for Paris Saint-Germain.

Besides, if Paris Saint-Germain really has the ambition to become a team that dominates Europe, it should not be a "one-man team". If Paris Saint-Germain can eliminate Dortmund without Ibrahimovic and pass this level, it will be very beneficial for the entire team. They can accumulate valuable experience and mature quickly at the same time.

In the group that excluded Lao Guo, Zhou Yi was saying to He Ying: "Lao He, I won't show mercy this time, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Sun Pan sneered beside him: "It seems like you are merciless in the first round..."

Zhou Yi smiled and said to Sun Pan: "Panpan, don't laugh. It's not easy to play Real Madrid at home, so you'd better think about your affairs first."

Sun Pan snorted: "What's the point of thinking about? I'll stop the soldiers and flood the water!"

"You drowned?"

"How do you talk! What is drowning?"

"Aren't you 'I'm flooding the water'?"

"I just used the idiom 'water to flood the soil'!"

"Yoyo, I can use idioms, which is not bad. But I'm sorry to inform you that it is 'water from soil cover', not 'water from soil flood'. At first it was 'water from soil dam', but later it gradually became 'water from soil cover'. Do you know what the 'weat' means? 'Land dam that lets the water end and stops to rest', have you heard of Dujiangyan? The dam built by Li Bing and his son is just the word 'weat'. So people mean to use soil to block the water and block it, not to drown the soil... Hey, why don't you talk? Panpan, have you been offline? @百度"

Guo angry exuded a look of laughing to tears while covering his face.

Sun Pan finally jumped out: "Goun Bang!"

Yang Muge beat the ground and laughed, and He Ying couldn't help but say "Haha".

"Okay, Panpan, I really hope you can eliminate Real Madrid. Maybe we can meet in the finals..." Zhou Yi said.

"When you said this, He Ying was right next to you." Sun Pan wanted to provoke the disagreement.

"So I said 'maybe'." Zhou Yi was not fooled. "I didn't say 'must'. So it's possible that I met you in the final, or it may be Lao He. But I still think our chances are higher..."

"Oh, He Ying, I'm not a troublemaker, but if I had said this, I would never be able to bear it! If I were you, I would have a hat trick in the game and kill Zhou Yi!" Sun Pan said viciously.

Zhou Yi: "Haha."

He Ying: "I really don't show mercy, Zhou Yi, I hope you are ready too."

He finally responded positively to Zhou Yi.

"I have murderous intent!" Sun Pan fanned the flames next to him.

Zhou Yi: "Hmph, ha, use nunchakra!"

Sun Pan: "Damn it, the murderous aura is gone..."

Guo Nu: "2333333"

He Ying: "..."

Yang Muge: “…”

That day finally came.

On April 8, on the Champions League day, Dortmund faces Paris Saint-Germain at home and Chelsea faces Real Madrid at home.

In fact, Dortmund media have always had a lot of complaints about this schedule - our first round of the game last week was one day later than Bayern Munich, but the second round of this week actually played one day earlier than Bayern Munich. What is the reason?

By doing this, Dortmund had a day off less than Bayern Munich.

Shouldn’t it be someone who played the first day of last week, and this week is also the first day of the week, everyone’s rest time is the same?

Why is there such a strange schedule in the Champions League?

It's not just the Champions League.

In the last round of the league, Bayern Munich had to kick off the ball earlier than Dortmund. Even if it only kicked off one game earlier, Dortmund media also believed that Bayern Munich had taken advantage of it.

Of course, the media in Munich naturally mocked Dortmund's chick-hearted behavior.

"...I have won three league titles, but I still can't change the rusticity of a country bumpkin entering the city..."

"This is the courage to defend the champion? So you can know why in Germany, only Bayern Munich is a real wealthy family, right?"

"If I were Klopp, I would be ashamed of the ignorant and fearless remarks of the Dortmund media!"

Of course, Klopp couldn't say anything about such a small thing. Two hours before the game started, Dortmund announced the starting list.

Compared with the last game against Wolfsburg, Dortmund really played all the main players in this game and sent out the strongest lineup.

Just from this starting lineup, we can see Dortmund's determination - they will never allow Paris Saint-Germain to escape unscathed from here.

Except for Piszczek, who was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Dortmund is the same starting lineup that challenged Paris Saint-Germain in the last leg away.

The replacement of Piszczek as the starting right back was Groskreuz.

The same goes for Paris Saint-Germain, but Lucas was allowed to replace Ibrahimovic, who was injured and unable to participate in the game.

Before the game began, the atmosphere in West** Stadium was already boiling. Dortmund fans made a huge TIFO to demonstrate to the visiting team.

TIFO is a picture of Dortmund players holding the Champions League trophy last season, with a line of words below: "Welcome to West**!"

West** Stadium is a famous Hell Stadium in Europe, and many strong teams have failed here one after another.

It can be said that West** Stadium is the last fortress that Dortmund can stand.

If Paris Saint-Germain can break through this fortress, it can easily defeat Dortmund.

But how easy is it to do this?

※※※

Before the game started, players on both sides stayed in their respective locker rooms.

Klopp is making the final pre-war mobilization for the players.

"...What are our weapons? It is speed! So after the game begins, you must first raise the speed and rhythm, and don't consider physical fitness first. If we can't score goals in the first half, then no matter how much physical fitness we have, it will be useless! The earlier the goal, the better, the earlier it will make the opponent panic!"

Klopp yelled at the players while knocking on the tactical board.

"Don't think about the next game, that's not what you should consider, but the coaching staff. You just need to play the game in front of you!"

In this game, Klopp made some arrangements and deployments for Paris Saint-Germain, especially against He Ying. Pishczek could not play in this game, and Gros Kreuz had a heavy task. For this reason, Klopp redeemed Yan Min and Reus in this game, allowing Yan Min, who had always played on the left side, to go to the right side, and let Reus go to the left side.

He mainly used Yan Min's speed and physical strength, as well as his unique fighting spirit, to curb He Ying with Groskreuz.

Yan Min's task in this game was very heavy. Not only did he have to attack, but he also had to return to defense frequently. However, Yan Min did not frown. On the contrary, he was full of expectations, and his eagerness to try made people think of his appearance on the training ground.

The requirement in offense is to improve the pace and use fast passes and runs to tear open the Paris Saint-Germain's defense line.

The specific details depend on Zhou Yi's command and the cooperation of his teammates.

Regarding this, Dortmund has been practicing for the past few days, and Klopp still believes in his team members.
