Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 3-1 at home. In addition to winning another Ruhr derby, he also successfully squeezed Schalke 04 out of it and became the third in the league.

Now they have five wins, two draws and one loss in eight league games, with seventeen points and rank third.

Bayern Munich ranked first with eight wins and 24 points. This season, the momentum of Bayern Munich's re-emergence is indeed very strong, which seems to be in line with everyone's prediction of the league championship this season in the season's preview. In today's German football, except for Bayern Munich, no team can win the championship for three consecutive years, so this year's league championship must be from Bayern Munich. Dortmund still wants to win the league without a chance, so it's better to consider how to make a historic breakthrough in the Champions League.

The second-ranked team was somewhat unexpected, and it was a name Frankfurt that Chinese fans were once very familiar with.

Frankfurt has won six wins, draws and lost this season, with 19 points. He has put Schalke 04, Dortmund, Leverkusen and other strong teams under the influence.

But experts are not optimistic that they will be in this position in the end. In fact, Frankfurt itself also knows that they cannot hope to be second in the league and qualify for the Champions League next season. After their head coach Amin Fei defeated Hannover 96 3:1, he told reporters that Frankfurt's goal this season is to "relegation". For Frankfurt, who was still in the Bundesliga last season and just returned to the First Division this season, this goal is very practical and sincere.

After the Ruhr derby, another game was waiting for Zhou Yi and his Dortmund teammates.

That is the Champions League group stage. In this game, Dortmund will face the seed team of this group at home, Real Madrid, the strongest.

The Champions League group stage has been played for two rounds, and Real Madrid and Dortmund are now maintaining a complete victory. Dortmund defeated Ajax 1-0 at home and beat Manchester City 2-1 away. These two wins are not considered big wins, and it is not easy for Manchester City to win.

In comparison, Real Madrid only encountered trouble when facing Manchester City in the first game. They narrowly defeated Manchester City 3:2 at home and defeated Ajax 4:1 away in the second game. Mourinho's Real Madrid showed strong strength and completely ignored the opponent's home advantage. For the same opponent, Dortmund played very hard at home, and finally won the victory with Zhou Yi's goal in the 87th minute, while Real Madrid defeated three goals at Ajax's home game, which is obvious.

The whole world believes that Mourinho's Real Madrid will be the favorite for the Champions League championship this season. It can be seen from his performance in the group stage that critics are saying it well.

And this time, the teams with the best performance in this group are about to meet. This game is regarded as a decision to decide who can play the battle for the boss of this group. Whoever wins is the first in the group.

In terms of strength, Mourinho's Real Madrid is stronger than Dortmund. But Dortmund is not completely at a disadvantage, they also have an advantage, that is, they are at home in this game.

Yes, Dortmund has a home advantage, but this home advantage is different from the home advantage in the general sense. For Real Madrid, the German team's home court is like hell.

Yes, it is not Dortmund's home court West** Stadium, but the home court of all German teams. No matter what the team achieves when other teams meet, as long as they meet Real Madrid, they will be like a big hit at their home court.

In the previous Champions League history, Real Madrid met German teams away 24 times, and his historical record cannot even be described as "not having an advantage", but it has to be "terrible". In these 24 away games, Real Madrid only won a pitiful game, and there is no shortage of such a shameful game as losing 0:5 to Kaiserslautern, humiliated by Borussia Mönchengladbach 1:5, and bloodbathed by Hamburg 1:5.

The only away game they won was on September 20, 2000, when they defeated Leverkusen 3:2 away. In the twelve years since then, Real Madrid's away challenge to the German team was 9 games, three draws and six losses. It has to be said that going to Germany is simply a nightmare for Real Madrid, and this nightmare has been twelve years and cannot be broken.

In addition to being hard to win, Real Madrid, with strong offensive firepower, scored at most three goals in a single game when they went to Germany.

All aspects show that Real Madrid is not adaptable to the local environment in Germany.

Specifically for opponent Dortmund, Real Madrid and Dortmund met three times in the Champions League. Although Real Madrid beat Dortmund in the total score in these three times, they challenged Dortmund three times away, and the powerful Real Madrid did not win once.

In the 1998-1999 season, Real Madrid and Dortmund met in the Champions League. Real Madrid tied with Dortmund 0:0 away, but did not win.

In the 2002-2003 season, Real Madrid and Dortmund met again in the Champions League. Dortmund tied Real Madrid 1:1 at home, but Real Madrid still didn't win.

In the 2010-2011 season, this is the closest encounter now. This game may be more valuable for reference, because the players of the two teams have not changed much at that time. They can be regarded as the same team as they are now, and the two Real Madrid and Dortmund teams more than ten years ago have long since disappeared.

In this confrontation, Real Madrid first defeated Dortmund, who entered the Champions League for the first time after seven years, almost ending the suspense of the two rounds.

However, after returning to his home court, Dortmund performed very tenaciously. They tied Real Madrid 1:1, making Real Madrid still unable to conquer the German stadium.

Of course, in the second round, some people may say that this is because Real Madrid has advanced early, so the players are too relaxed and do not pay much attention to it. It is different from the current situation in the group stage. Real Madrid will definitely not have any underestimation of the enemy this time. They will take the game more seriously. In this way, the last confrontation will have no reference value.

But no matter what, the reason why the curse is called a curse is naturally reasonable.

Real Madrid cannot win against the German team away, this is a curse. Before this game, the concept of hype that the media has laid the world will definitely affect the mentality of Real Madrid players.

If they are anxious to prove that they are not affected by the spell, they will be impatient during the game.

If they do believe in the curse and have some concerns in their hearts, it will make them shrink during the game.

Although Mourinho said in an interview that he and his team would not care about any "curse", who knows what Real Madrid players really think? I'm afraid he doesn't even know...

So how did Tymond see this problem?

In an interview, Klopp said that he didn't care about any curse or not. He believed that the only thing that determines the outcome of the game is the performance of the players on both sides in the game, which has nothing to do with the curse or something.

As the core of the team, Zhou Yi will naturally be asked this question by the media.

Outside the training ground, he said seriously: "Curse? Nonsense, I can't understand it. It's the 21st century. Why do anyone still believe in the same excuse as the Middle Ages? I don't believe in the existence of a curse, this is nonsense."

He said it very firmly, making some of the reporters unable to help but ask: "But the fact is that Real Madrid only won once in Germany... How can this be explained?"

Zhou Yi looked at him and said seriously: "There is a very scientific word called 'Murphy'. I think this should explain your question."

After saying that, he said goodbye to the reporters.

A group of reporters stood there and were still recalling what Zhou Yi had just said.

"Murphy's Law?" Some reporters don't quite understand.

But some reporters understand very well: "Damn, this guy Zhou Yi is doing something bad!"

Those who don’t understand will ask those who understand to explain: “How to say it? Why is it bad?”

"You know this statement? If you drop a slice of bread with jam on the ground, then the side with jam must have hit the ground." The person who understands it asked.

"Yes, I've heard of it..." The person who didn't understand nodded repeatedly.

"This is Murphy's law. That is to say, if something may go wrong, then it will definitely go wrong."

As soon as he explained this, those who don’t understand it will understand it.

"So Zhou Yi is saying that if Real Madrid may lose to Dortmund, then it will definitely lose to Dortmund?"

"Yes! Otherwise, what if you say that Zhou Yi is a kid who is full of bad water! He is so damaging that he is so damned! Haha!" The Chinese reporter laughed happily when he said this. Obviously, he didn't seem to think that this was Zhou Yi's shortcomings...

"Murphy's Law" is not well known in China, but it has become a popular slang in the Western world. When Zhou Yi said this, the eyes of German journalists lit up.

The next day, the German "Kicker" used the title: "Zhou Yi: There is no 'curse', only 'Murphy'."

Without further explanation, just by looking at this title, everyone will know what Zhou Yi means.

Murphy's Law is actually a psychological effect, where "things that will go wrong will always go wrong" and "if you worry about something happening, it is more likely to happen" are the main contents of Murphy's Law.

Zhou Yi is actually only using psychology to explain why there is a "curse". Since it is considered a curse, it means that such bad things happen frequently, which of course falls within the scope of explanation of "Murphy's Law".

At the same time, the media also used Zhou Yi's words to detoxify Weikang's provocation to Real Madrid, and announced in advance that Real Madrid would definitely lose away.

His words were naturally criticized by the Spanish media, who believed that Zhou Yi was arrogant and did not respect his opponents enough.

In response, Zhou Yi said in the "Exclusion of Lao Guo" group: "I'm so fucking wronged. I just told them that the saying of the curse is unscientific. If you want to be scientific, you have to use the statement of 'Murphy', which can be interpreted as intentional provoking and arrogant. Why do you think the reporter's brains are so big?"

"Pretending, keep on pretending." Sun Pan watched coldly.

"Pret, go ahead."

"Pret, go ahead."

...

The others below followed and maintained the team shape. Even Yang Muge and He Ying were among them.
