Dortmund stumbled and won the game. After nine rounds of the league, he has won seven wins, draw and lost, scored twenty-two goals, conceded seven goals, and had 15 goals in goal difference, and accumulated twenty-two points, ranking second.

They have been surpassed by Bayern, who has performed stably in the standings after the new season.

At the same time, Leverkusen was caught up. Now Leverkusen and they have 22 points, but they only have few goals, so they rank third. But if Dortmund can't play stably, it may be a matter of time before Leverkusen is surpassed.

Chinese fans are very dissatisfied with Klopp's uselessness in such a situation. They believe that since the team encounters problems, they should try more solutions. The media said that Yan Min is very hardworking in training, so why not give Yan Min a chance?

That Jonas Hoffman has scored a goal before and now he has played almost every game. He has played seven times on the bench.

But apart from that goal, he never showed any convincing performance.

This made Chinese fans very upset - does Klopp trust that Hoffman so much? What is he trusting?

Everyone was unfair for Yan Min.

In addition, I care about when Zhou Yi will come back.

Zhou Yi was injured in the Champions League group stage against Naples, and it was September 18th. According to official news from Dortmund, Zhou Yi would miss the game for one month.

So now it's September 19th, which is exactly one month after the ninth round of the league.

Can Zhou Yi come back if Dortmund challenges Arsenal's UEFA Champions League group stage away next week?

In fact, this is the most concerned issue for everyone. It is not only the Chinese fans and media concerns, but also the German and English media fans.

If Zhou Yi can make a successful comeback, even if Dortmund challenges Arsenal away, it will not be without a chance of winning. This is definitely a shot of a heart attack for the team.

After Zhou Yi’s absence, everyone understood that Zhou Yi’s importance to Dortmund is not only reflected in tacticality, but may be more spiritual. Dortmund without Zhou Yi can win, but it makes people feel like they are trying their luck. If they are lucky, they will win, and if they are not lucky, they will lose.

When Zhou Yi was there, Dortmund's game never gave people this feeling.

With Zhou Yi on the court, everyone was relieved. Whether it was Dortmund fans watching the football or Dortmund players playing football, everyone was relieved.

Zhou Yi was absent, and everyone suddenly lost their backbone. They performed well when they were hitting blood. In the next game, everyone thought that a good state could continue? No, Dortmund could immediately use a embarrassed victory or failure to slap those people in the face. If they encounter difficulties, the defeat will basically be irreversible.

Although Zhou Yi was only absent for a month, everyone missed him very much, and he would not be able to make a comeback immediately.

Since Dortmund officially announced that he would be absent for one month, it has been one month now, can he make a comeback?

Everyone is looking forward to Zhou Yi's comeback.

Dortmund's coaching staff are actually the same, and they are even more urgent than those outside.

But no matter how urgent it is, we must follow scientific laws.

Whether Zhou Yi can appear is not the final word for this matter, and that is not the final word for Klopp, the head coach.

The most authoritative thing here is the results of physical examination.

Zhou Yi conducted a very rigorous physical examination at the training base to determine whether he could play against Arsenal.

Now Klopp, Zorke and Dr. Braun are gathering together to study the results.

"So what this result means is that Zhou Yi can play in the game against Arsenal?" Zorke asked Dr. Braun with the report result.

"In theory, that's the case." Dr. Braun nodded, and he emphasized "theory".

"But?" Zorke was waiting for him to turn.

"But I don't recommend letting him play in the day after tomorrow," said Dr. Braun. "I think his physical condition is just the basic conditions for playing games, but it's still a long way from his best physical condition. And the mid-week game will be very intense, and I'm worried that he will hurt him again in the confrontation."

Dr. Braun stated his reasons.

After hearing this, Zorke hesitated: "Where should we let him play in the second half of the bench? We always have to find the feeling of the game, right?"

He still hopes that Zhou Yi can play. Dortmund is suffering from injuries and sluggish state. If Zhou Yi can return, that is great news.

"But what's the point? Do you want him to play, not to win?" asked Dr. Braun.

"This...it's good if I can win, but I don't force it, don't force it..." Zorke really doesn't force it to take over now. He believes that if Zhou Yi can play safely for a while, even if he loses the game in the end, Dortmund's pressure will be greatly reduced, which is also exciting news for the media and fans.

"Since it's not for winning, there is no need to let him play. Take a rest for a while and let him return to his best condition, or a better condition than he is now..." Dr. Braun insisted on his opinion, that is, he would not let Zhou Yi play in this game, even if it's not a minute. "If you want to find a game, there is something more suitable than the Champions League group stage. There is no need to try the waters when you try it out."

"Then it's okay to let him on the roster? You don't have to play, or whether you want to play will see Jurgen's opinion..." Zorke still wanted to fight for it.

However, his words kicked the ball to Klopp. He and Dr. Braun both looked at Klopp, wanting to hear his opinions.

Klopp shook his head: "I don't plan to let Zhou Yi go to London."

Dr. Braun laughed, Zorke was a little disappointed, but instead of arguing with Klopp, he chose to respect: "Okay, you have the final say, Jurgen."

"Thank you." Klopp smiled at Zorke, thanking him for his understanding and support.

This matter was settled, and Klopp did not explain why he didn't take Zhou Yi to London.

Although Zhou Yi has been practicing with the whole team, he has only been practicing for less than a week. He feels that it is useless even if he takes it to London, and he still has one place.

※※※

Since I decided not to take Zhou Yi to London, who should I take to London specifically?

Basically, as long as there are no injuries, the main players will definitely bring them with you.

The good news is that Weidenfell can return to the main lineup. In addition to him, Hummels and Subotic are both here, and Schmelzer has also made a comeback and can go to London. But Piszczek is not good yet, so Groskreuz will continue to serve as the right back on the court.

In the midfield, Sven Bend has recovered from injury long ago, and he will partner with Shahin to take the position of the midfielder.

Zhou Yi's original position belongs to Mkhitaryan, and he is in the center. Aubameyang and Reus are separated from each other, and Mark is in the front.

This is Dortmund's starting lineup.

This is not difficult to rank. If Dortmund can't even get a starting lineup, then the problem will be big.

Mainly on the bench lineup.

Some time ago, when the manpower was the most tight, Klopp could only put one defender on the bench in every game. If there were personnel changes on the back line, there were very few ways to respond. Now it was better. Schmelzer was back and Doom could return to the bench. Another defender who had been on the bench for a long time was Greek central defender Papastatopoulos.

Since Weidenfeller has returned to the main lineup, Langgrak will continue to be his substitute goalkeeper.

The commonly used configurations in the midfield are Kuba, Hoffman and Kilch. Kuba is between the main player and the substitute. He started four times in the league this season, played four times on the bench, and scored one goal. He is currently the best player and strongest on the bench on the Dortmund midfield.

Hoffman has always been trusted by the coaching staff because of his good performance at the beginning of the season, but he has a tendency to perform mediocrely in recent games. Under tremendous pressure, his performance is not stable enough and his ability to withstand pressure is a little weak.

Kilch had a slightly worse presence and was selected into the roster four times, but only appeared once on the bench.

There is only one substitute on the front line now, and Schiber has made it to the roster six times in the league, but there is only one record of appearance.

Although Klopp wanted to rotate, after the start of the league, there were constant people on the team's injury list, which made Klopp unable to rotate, so the lineup was relatively fixed.

In addition, the reason why Hoffman has been on the roster and has been able to play on the bench many times is also related to the excessive injuries of Dortmund's current midfielders. If Kyle and Gundogan are both healthy, Hoffman will not be able to enter the 18-man roster at all.

There is no controversy over the candidates for defenders and forwards, because there is no choice at all.

Everyone's attention was on the midfield substitute.

Of course, Kuba is going to be on the big list.

But Hoffman and Kirch…

Do you still want to take them to London?

"Who else can I go if I don't take them there?" Everyone in the coaching staff are arguing about who should be on the roster. In fact, the coaching staff is also dissatisfied with Hoffman and Kilch's performance. But they are worried that there is no better person to use it. If Zhou Yi is not injured, if Gundogan is not injured, if Kyle is not injured... How are these two young people turning to the roster in every game?

"In fact, there are still people." Assistant coach Buvac suddenly said. "Yan Min has been training very actively during this period."

“He has always been very active…”

"Of course, and he performed quite well in training. I think he can be used to replace Kilch." Bouvage looked at Klopp.

"Well... I have no objection." Klopp refused.

"That's it!" Buvac finally made the decision. No one in the coaching staff opposed it, and he didn't expect these young people to do anything. Hoffman could perform among young people, but it was difficult to achieve what the team was facing today's difficulties.
