Chapter 124: Can't keep a low profile

In fact, Dortmund is not just a draw by Dusseldorf. In this game, they went to captain Kyle.

Kyle was injured in the 68th minute of the game and was unable to hold on to the game and was replaced.

After inspection after the game, he had already said goodbye to the first half of the Bundesliga in advance, and he had to wait until the second half to recover from injury.

As a veteran, Kyle's performance this season has surprised many people. He has not been troubled by injuries before and is in good condition. During the time when Gundogan was injured, he and Sven Cade provided protection behind Zhou Yi, so that he could organize the offense in the front with peace of mind.

It can be said that Dortmund can fight on both sides in the Champions League and the league this season, and his role cannot be ignored.

He was so in good condition that after Gundogan recovered from his injury, he could not regain the main position from him for a while, so he could only play as a substitute first. Fortunately, Klopp had a rotation, so Gundogan did not fall into a situation where he had no ball to play.

But as a veteran who is almost thirty-three years old, he still came to him with injuries.

His injury was believed by the media to have a great impact on Dortmund. Before the match against Bayern Munich, Kyle's injury was definitely not irrelevant news.

Dortmund was unexpectedly tied by Dusseldorf, while Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg 2-0 away, and the gap between the two teams was further widened to four points.

In the next round of the league, the two teams will have a direct dialogue, with Dortmund challenging Bayern Munich away.

If Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich away, the gap between five points can be narrowed to two points.

If Bayern Munich beat Dortmund at home, they can take advantage of the opportunity to expand the four-point gap to seven points, and they can win the Bundesliga half-time championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

Winning the winter break championship is of great significance to the competition for the Bundesliga championship.

After this round of strong dialogue, both teams will usher in their UEFA Champions League group stage.

The last round of the Champions League group stage was to face Manchester City at home. This game was meaningless. Dortmund had already qualified first in the group in advance, while Manchester City was eliminated early. The only suspense was in the match between Real Madrid and Ajax. In the last round, Real Madrid was tied by Manchester City and scored only seven points, and Ajax was defeated by Dortmund and scored four points. If Ajax could defeat Real Madrid by a big score in the last round of group stage, then they would surpass Real Madrid with the same score as Real Madrid and become the second in the group.

But honestly, the chances of this happening are very, very low.

Real Madrid cannot capsize in the gutter.

Bayern Munich's final round of group matches against their weakest team in their group at home.

Although they are competing for the first place in the group with Atletico Madrid, the suspense should not be very high. Bayern Munich will not lose to the weakest team in the group at home.

So in fact, the next Champions League group stage will not have much impact on both teams in the league.

They can send out the strongest lineup except players on the injury roster.

This time, Klopp did not choose to rotate.

The match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich is the most eye-catching contest in this round of the Bundesliga, and the whole world is paying attention to this game.

For Bayern Munich, this is a battle of revenge, and they must defeat Dortmund at home. In the first two seasons in the league, they were firmly suppressed by Dortmund and had missed the league championship for two consecutive seasons. Their momentum was already pretty good this season, with eight consecutive wins in the league and taking the lead.

As a result, Dortmund is now catching up little by little. It seems that Dortmund doesn't want to give up the league championship this season.

However, Bayern Munich has more confidence in himself this season. Since Dortmund is unwilling to give up, use his grades to let them learn to let go.

As long as they can defeat them in a direct dialogue with Dortmund, Bayern Munich will have the lead on the journey to the league championship.

So before the game, the soldiers of Bayern Munich spoke through various channels to express their determination.

Schweinsteiger said in an interview that in his opinion, Dortmund's strength this season is no longer as good as the previous two seasons. If you want to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, you must learn to give up some games.

"...For a team like Dortmund that lacks bench thickness, the Champions League and the League cannot have both. In my personal experience, if Klopp wants the team to achieve better results in the Champions League, they have to give up the league. If both want them, the final result is likely to be that they have not achieved good results in either game... I said that it is not that Dortmund deliberately gave up the league, but that it is just that as a player with rich experience in fighting on both sides, giving them some small experience..."

This is a very superior feeling. However, they do have such qualifications. As a player of Bayern Munich, this kind of double-front battle was very rich at that time. Moreover, in Germany, only Bayern Munich could achieve good results in a double-front battle. In front of Dortmund, it is normal for Bayern Munich to have a superior feeling.

In response, Dortmund's number one big mouth Groschlouitz retorted: "Thanks to Bayern Munich players for their advice, but it's hard for me to believe whether their experience is effective. Because they 'gived' the league championship last season and were still defeated by Chelsea in the Champions League final. I really can't believe the experience of the loser..."

This is simply sprinkling salt on Bayern Munich's wounds.

Last season, Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final held at the Allianz Stadium, and the whole team vowed to win the championship at their doorstep. Before the game, the media, bookmakers and fans were also optimistic about Bayern Munich, who has more experience.

What's the result?

Bayern Munich lost to Chelsea in the penalty shootout under the noses of tens of thousands of home fans, missed the championship.

This is a bigger blow to Bayern Munich than being snatched away by Dortmund for two consecutive seasons.

...

Now, Groschloitz will naturally anger Bayern and Munich if he takes this matter.

In the tense atmosphere, Zhou Yi did not participate in the war of words. A reporter came to him and wanted to hear his opinions.

"I have no objection. The 15th round of the league is only now, and there are nineteen rounds left before the end of the league. The victory or defeat of a game cannot explain any problem. Don't make it seem like this game can determine the league championship. It's better to pay attention to the game itself."

He was very calm.

※※※

Although Zhou Yi is very low-key and calm, after the game started, he was not low-key at all. As the core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi is naturally a player that Bayern Munich focuses on.

Harvey Martinez followed him without hesitation, limiting his range of movement.

The others were ready to force him up at any time and double-team him.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhou Yi be low-key?

However, Zhou Yi was not surprised by such a situation, and he did not feel a headache. He had encountered such a situation countless times, whether in virtual space competitions or in real competitions. If he was surprised at this time, it would be too pretentious.

He has accumulated rich experience in dealing with such situations.

This season, his physical fitness is much better than before. But it is not because of his special training before this season, but because of his persistent physical training in the previous few seasons, his foundation has finally been consolidated.

With physical support, just run against this annoying defense. Run constantly, run from the left to the right, from the back to the front, don't stay on the court, don't stop, and keep changing your position, so sooner or later, then the defensive players will not be able to keep up with his rhythm.

That's what Zhou Yi did.

Facing Bayern Munich's targeted defense, he also made a targeted response. He can appear almost anywhere on the court, whether in the corner flag area of ​​his own or in the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich.

Even if he doesn't get the ball, as long as others appear in that position, it will be a trouble and a threat to Bayern Munich.

Although Xavi Martinez is responsible for defending Zhou Yi, he has no way to throw his position and just follow Zhou Yi. In that case, Zhou Yi goes to the side and Martinez also pulls out. Wouldn't it be empty in the middle? Let other Bayern Munich players come to the middle to make up for defense, so won't there be no one in the area where the defender originally was?

Defense is a whole, one link after another. If a problem occurs in a place, it will inevitably affect the whole body. It is really appropriate to use it to defence with one move.

So Zhou Yi ran like this and made Harvey Martinez feel very painful. Should he follow him or not?

If you follow, your position will be gone. If you don’t follow, you can’t ignore it when you watch him create threats and troubles elsewhere, right?

Faced with Zhou Yi who can run so much, not only Xavi Martinez is in a dilemma, but Bayern Munich's head coach Heinx is also very troubled.

During Zhou Yi's poor physical fitness, he can force him to run by pressing his body, allowing him to consume a lot of physical strength during running, and eventually he performs abnormally due to lack of physical strength.

But now, after Zhou Yi has significantly improved his physical fitness of his shortcomings, he doesn't even need the defense to force him to run, and he starts running all over the field! (To be continued.)
