Hoffman's goal opened the situation for Dortmund's players all at once. In the 86th minute, Dortmund added another goal.

This time, after Reus dribbled into the penalty area, he was tripped to the ground, and the referee sentenced Brunswick to death.

West** Stadium was thunderous.

Penalty!

This goal will definitely be entered, and if you enter, you will be sure to win! This game was won, and Dortmund will top the league standings with the victory of this game!

Then Reus took the penalty and lived up to expectations to kick the penalty into Brunswick's goal. Dortmund led Brunswick 2:0 at home.

Including the players, everyone's heart, which had been hanging for more than 80 minutes, finally fell back into their stomachs.

But God doesn't seem to want Dortmund to win the game so easily.

In the 89th minute, Brunswick got a corner kick opportunity. This was Brunswick's third corner kick in the whole game.

The corner kick he kicked flew to the goal, and Mark, who returned to the defense in front of the goal, jumped up to head the ball to clear the ball, but he accidentally pushed the ball into his own goal!

"Ah! Ah! Ah... the ball went in! Mark... own goal! Mark Wagner scored an own goal! This is bad!"

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller caught Mark's header off guard and could only watch the football fly into the goal from the closest corner, and was powerless.

Brunswick players are celebrating the goal.

Mark, however, held his head, looking very depressed.

Originally, he was quite stable in leading two goals, but his own own goal immediately put the team in a dangerous situation...

He blames himself and feels guilty, and is also a little scared.

Mark's panic makes sense. This own goal immediately made the atmosphere tense again on the scene. If the injury stoppage time is included, there are still a few minutes before the game is really over. If the opponent enters another... the cooked duck can fly!

After entering injury stoppage time, Klopp used his last substitution spot in the game. He replaced Mkhitaryan with Malvin Dukesch.

In this game, Mkhitaryan, who had an ankle injury before, got the chance to start, but perhaps because he had been injured before and had not practiced well with the team. In the game, Mkhitaryan's performance was not very good, so it can only be said that it was average.

Malvin Dukesch is a nineteen-year-old striker, produced by Dortmund youth training camp. With Lewandowski leaving, he may have more opportunities to play this season, but whether he can truly gain a foothold in the first team and become a useful supplement to the lineup depends on whether he can seize the opportunity.

Klopp replaced Mkhitaryan with Dukesch, not only to spend some time with substitutions in the last few minutes of the game, but also hopes to use this substitution to put pressure on Brunswick so that they cannot launch a large counterattack against Dortmund's goal for the rest of the time.

If they really want to do this, then many Tymond's counterattacks are not vegetarians.

This is how he reminded Brunswick to think about behind them when they want to equalize the score...

※※※

This substitution was effective. In the last few minutes, Brunswick did not cause any trouble for Dortmund's goal. In fact, if it weren't for Mark's own own goal, Brunswick would have no chance to score.

Finally, at the end of the game, Dortmund defeated the newly promoted Brunswick 2-1 at home.

Although this game was won, it was not easy for Dortmund to win.

The Bundesliga will never be smooth sailing in the new season. Even the promoted team can cause such a big trouble for them. If it is replaced by a mid-range team with a slightly stronger victory, it may be that it will really defeat Dortmund at West** Stadium.

After the game, Klopp admitted at a press conference that his team did not perform well, but he also believed that victory was more important than anything else for Dortmund.

With the victory of this game, Dortmund won two consecutive victories and ranked first in the league standings.

However, as many as four teams with six points like them, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Mainz, and Werder Bremen all have six points, ranking second to fifth.

Dortmund is ranked first only by relying on his goal difference, which is very unstable.

Of course, for football games, the result is more than anything else. As long as you win the game, no matter how hard you win it, it doesn’t matter how difficult it is.

This ranking shows this.

At the same time, Dortmund's 2-1 victory over Brunswick at home was also Dortmund's 20th consecutive victory.

Last season, they surpassed Inter Milan's 17 consecutive victories with 18 consecutive victories, becoming the team with the longest winning streak among the top five European leagues.

And this season, they continued to work hard and won two consecutive rounds, which expanded the new record to twenty games.

While winning the championship, Klopp's team is also setting a record that is difficult for future generations to reach.

※※※

In the third round of the league, Dortmund welcomed Werder Bremen at home. After this game, it will take five or six days to make the fourth round of the league. However, Dortmund is different. They will play the fourth round of the league in advance on August 27th, which is three days after this league, because on August 30th, they still have another game in Prague, the Czech capital, where they will have a European Super Cup battle with Chelsea, the champion of the UEFA Cup last season.

This season is indeed a new and severe test for Dortmund.

Because next summer's Brazil World Cup, the league schedule will be very intensive, and the schedules of the Champions League and domestic cups will be adjusted accordingly, and the players' load will be greater than usual seasons. In December, the entire Dortmund team will go to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup. For this reason, they will miss several domestic league games. The absent games will take advantage of the situation in the next time. If they can reach the Champions League semi-finals again, this will lead to the very intensive and compact schedule of Dortmund's new season.

Such a intensive schedule is a severe test for the players' physical fitness and a severe test for the team's injury control.

Now that the league has just begun, the team has suffered injuries one after another. Gundoan is injured, Mkhitaryan is injured in an ankle, and Piszczek is also injured...

After winning the league championship for three consecutive years, Dortmund's championship team seems to be a bit over the last.

After setting a historical record of twenty consecutive victories, Dortmund also hides such a crisis under the glorious surface.

※※※

In the game against Werder Bremen, Dortmund continued to rotate, with Sven Bend and Aubameyang sitting on the bench.

Because Piszczek's injury has not healed yet, Groskreuz once again used his panacea skills and started in this game, playing a guest appearance as a right-back.

Dortmund also played hard at home in this game, and neither side scored a goal in the first half.

It was only ten minutes after the second half that Mark Wagner broke the deadlock for the team.

The ball comes from Groskreuz's cross assist.

But after taking the lead with one goal, Dortmund did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he was a little helpless.

Both sides started to transfer troops to condemn the generals in the 66th minute. Werder Bremen was naturally unwilling to accept it and lost the game by just one goal. They also thought of being able to equalize or defeat Dortmund away.

Commentator Marcel Leif kept mentioning the winning streak set by Dortmund. He believed that perhaps this record had put Dortmund players on the burden, some of whom did not know how to play, and they were thinking too much during the game.

Fortunately, Dortmund finally withstood Werder Bremen's crazy counterattack in the last moment and won another victory 1:0 at home.

"The game ends! Dortmund wins again! No matter what the scene or the process is, Dortmund and others have won the game. The 21 consecutive league wins! While they set the record, they are also constantly accumulating the weight of the burden they are carrying... Look at the tired expressions of the Dortmund players, the league has just begun, and they have won three consecutive victories, but the expressions of the players are not easy..."

There were some close-up shots of Dortmund players in the broadcast screen. This was true. There was no excitement after twenty-one consecutive victories. On the contrary, many people looked... How to say it? To put it nicely, it would be calm, and it would be unscathing. To put it bluntly, it would be confused, as if you have no idea whether you can continue to win like this in the future.

However, Klopp did not admit that the record of 21 consecutive victories had put pressure on the team at the post-match press conference.

"No, no one will think there are too many victories. We are pursuing victory in every game, so there are no records. There is no pressure to win continuously because there are too many victories. The players are just a little tired..."

A reporter immediately asked: "But the season has just begun, and it has not been a weekly double game recently. Does this mean that Dortmund's pre-season training camp in China to play business tour games have caused the team's physical reserves to be not done well?"
