But he replaced not only goalkeeper Weidenfeller, but also right back Owo Moyela!
In fact, Dortmund had already been discussing the transfer of Reus with Borussia Monchengladbach. The price agreed upon by the two parties was around 17 million euros, but there were still some details that had not been finalized.
Originally Reus would not play in this game, but he strongly requested to play and Favre relented and allowed him to play.
If nothing unexpected happens, Royce will join Dortmund in this winter transfer window.
It is precisely because he gave most of the money to Reus that Klopp was unable to do anything.
But in fact Dortmund is still short of people.
After all, they will have to fight on three fronts in the second half of the season...
Should we give up the German Cup?
But it still depends on what happens in the last Champions League game.
If they finish third, they can give up the Europa League.
After all, the Europa League games are not only intensive, but many teams are also very remote... living and working all day long is a huge test for the players' bodies.
Let’s think about it then!
Owomoyela looked depressed when he saw that he was replaced...
But he couldn't help it. Who would let him be sieved?
If a 33-year-old man wants to guard against a young man in his early 20s, let alone him, Maicon can't do it either!
The game starts again.
Corner kick for Borussia Monchengladbach.
Langerak, who had just come on the field, was gearing up. He wanted to use his good performance in this game to win the coach's attention.
The main thing is that Weidenfeller will be injured for a few more days, so that he can take the opportunity to become the main player, get called up by the national team, and secure his position as the main goalkeeper of the national team!
By the way, this guy is from Australia!
Although he is not from Asia, he can still represent Australia in the Asian Cup or qualifiers!
Langerak thought very well, and quickly gathered his thoughts, focusing on the football.
"Bang!"
Herman directly passed the ball to the center of the penalty area with an inswinging ball.
There's Dante in the crowd again!
Obviously, although the first goal was not counted as his own goal, he felt that it was his fault.
So I will work extra hard in the next game!
Now that there is such a good chance for a header, Dante leaps high and swings his head towards the goal!
"Bang!"
The football was hit hard directly into the lower left corner!
Before Langerak in front of the goal could react, the ball was scored!
Dante, who scored the goal, could no longer suppress his excitement and kissed the team logo while running!
The audience at the scene also applauded them excitedly!
This goal is so crucial!
Take advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing when they make substitutions, and catch the opponent off guard!
Langerak in front of the goal picked the ball out of the goal in frustration...
This goal is really not my fault. I was forced to play without even warming up. What can I do?
Of course, when he has such thoughts, it means that he does not have the mental attributes to become a top goalkeeper...
A truly strong person will not make excuses.
They will only think of ways to improve themselves and respond to doubts with actions!
When this goal appeared, Clopton immediately regretted it...
How can I have the idea of keeping a tie in the away game?
If he loses this game and Piszczek's physical energy is still exhausted, wouldn't that be a blood loss?
The game will soon resume.
Dortmund lost the ball and pushed forward a little further.
Borussia Monchengladbach, who had scored two goals in a row, were no longer in a hurry. They directly placed Nordvitta in the midfield on the back line and started a five-back tactic!
That defense is impregnable.
No wonder they are the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the Bundesliga right now.
After Ye Chen used the long-range shot must-go card, he was more willing to send the ball into the penalty area.
It's just that there is no high point in the middle of Dortmund, even if the ball is passed to the middle, there is no high point!
As time passed by, the Borussia fans became more and more excited.
Stier was also overjoyed, "What did I say? Dortmund has nothing to do in front of Borussia Monchengladbach's defense! Of course, Borussia Monchengladbach does not only know how to defend. This season, Borussia Monchengladbach has scored eight goals by relying on counterattacks.
The team with the highest counterattack efficiency in the Bundesliga!”
How is this Borussia? It looks like Mourinho’s Chelsea!
As long as I'm ahead, I'll play turtle with you.
Ye Chen also hit two long-range shots from the outside, but the ball couldn't even threaten the goal.
These central defenders stood inside, and there was nothing Duote could do!
"Beep!"
At the end of two minutes of stoppage time in the first half, the referee stopped the game with one short call and one long call.
At halftime, Borussia leads Dortmund 2-1 at home.
The Internet has completely exploded.
The Dote Bar in China is also very lively.
"Ye Chen has already scored a goal this time, you can go down and rest! There is no chance anyway!"
"It's over, it's really Barbie's Q! The main goalkeeper is injured!"
"Are the tail lights okay? Don't affect the Champions League!"
"I can't wait to see Ye Chen play in the Champions League, please don't make any mistakes!"
"If Dortmund goes to the Europa League, I will really scold Klopp for the rest of my life!"
"If you want to give up this game, give up completely. Why replace Piszczek?"
"I don't understand. Isn't this Royce coming to Dortmund? Why is he kicking Dortmund to death?"
"..."
In the locker room, Klopp looked very serious, "Guys, let me ask you a question, do you want to win, or do you want this game to end?"
"I want to win!" Ye Chen stood up immediately and said decisively.
"Where are the others?" Klopp glanced at everyone, but many people lowered their heads.
"Boss, I want to win too!"
"Me too!" Piszczek nodded.
"I...I want to win too!" Even Langerak, who had just been substituted, raised his hand!
"Boss, let me play instead! I can be the fulcrum!" Barrios also stood up at this time.
There was no one with the ball in the frontcourt, which directly caused the team to be very passive!
And the first goal conceded was for this reason.
Klopp nodded, "We changed our style of play in the second half..."
Time passed quickly as he began to explain the new play style for the second half.
Before playing, Klopp said to Ye Chen, "Ye, please say a few words to the players!"
Ye Chen was a little surprised.
Could it be that he can no longer hide his leadership qualities that he has hidden so deeply?
"Everyone must have watched the news, right? From three days before the game, everyone looked down on us!"
"Their unified evaluation is that Dortmund's substitute can't do this or that!"
"I'm fine. They will say that I can't do anything on my own, but what about you? They don't even want to mention your names, so they just deny you! Can you bear this?"
"Or do you think you are not good enough and are you willing to be a substitute for the rest of your life?"
"I don't know what you think, but I know I can do it!"
"I scored one goal in the first half, and I will score more goals in the second half!"
Ye Chen's voice became louder, "It's not enough to score one, I'm going to score two! I'm going to try my best to overtake the score! Let everyone know that their views are wrong!"
"If you think you can do it and want to prove yourself, you don't need to answer me, just go all out!" Ye Chen scanned the crowd, "Let me see your actions!"
During the whole speaking process, Ye Chen's voice was not particularly loud, but every sentence was sonorous and powerful!
His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the players' hearts hard!
Yes!
If everyone thinks they can’t do it, then prove to everyone that you are wrong!
