Champion’s Heart

After Royce scored, Mainz's morale was completely vented.

You know, Royce's goal occurred in the 88th minute of the game. They also know that no matter what, it is difficult to score two goals in the remaining minutes to tie the score. .

The narrator is already preparing to summarize the speech.

"...This game looks like Dortmund will win with a 3-1 score. But it is worth noting that Dortmund's three goals have all appeared after Zhou Yi played. Zhou Yi has brought great changes to the team. Yes, Klopp might have to think carefully about whether Zhou Yi will be rotated next time..."

"Dortmund is at a disadvantage in the league this season, and the Champions League has not yet determined whether the group will qualify, and the team has suffered a lot of injuries... Dortmund, which has been smooth sailing before, has suffered a lot this season. Zhou Yi may be The key person to get out of this dilemma..."

"Dortmund is so seriously injured this season. It is understandable that Klopp is so conservative when using Zhouyi in this game. After all, so many players are injured. Dortmund really can't have any new wounded people, especially Zhou Yi...The most important thing Klopp should pray now is that Zhou Yi is safe and healthy in the next game. If he suffers any serious injuries again, Dortmund will be completely finished this season..."

...

As the commentators summed up their speeches, the referee also sounded the whistle at the end of the game.

In the last few minutes, Mainz did not create any threatening killings, Dortmund easily held the victory.

Despite some ups and downs, in the end it was a good result. Beating Mainz allowed Dortmund to continue to chase the top two in the league standings.

In this round of the league, Bayern Munich defeated Braunschweig 2-0 at home and continued to lead the standings. The second-ranked Leverkusen also defeated Nuremberg 3-0 at home. Looking at this result, if Dortmund is tied by Mainz on the road or lost to Mainz, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Because the fourth-ranked Monchengladbach also won in this round of the league, they beat Freiburg 1-0 at home and made their points reach 28 points. If Dortmund lost the game, they It is only one point away from Mönchengladbach and may be surpassed at any time.

Of course, even if this game is won, the situation is not necessarily good for Dortmund.

In the next round of the league, Dortmund will face the challenge of second place Leverkusen at home, this is a very important game. If Dortmund lost to Leverkusen at home, they will be thrown farther away, and wanting to compete for the league title has become a fool's dream.

But it is not so easy to beat Leverkusen, because after the game with Leverkusen, Dortmund will usher in the final game of the UEFA Champions League group stage, they will go to challenge Galatasaray away, This game is a decisive battle with only wins and no losses.

To prepare for this game, Dortmund will be more or less distracted against Leverkusen.

In the Champions League and the league, there is always a trade-off.

At the press conference after the game, Klopp was asked by reporters about Zhou Yi's replacement. Facing the reporters, Klopp was very calm, or he pretended to be calm: "Zhou Yi needs a rest, he is not an iron man... Dortmund has'Zhou Yi Dependence Disorder'? I don't know, I heard this word for the first time. Of course, he is indeed very important to us, but I think the more important thing is this team, not someone. I believe Zhou Yi also I will agree with me... Zhou Yi performed very well in this game, and I do not regret putting him on the bench... I have no contradiction with him. In fact, the relationship between us is like a honeymoon... …"

How does Zhou Yi think about his lack of starting?

"I obey the coaching arrangements, I don't think I am an indispensable figure of the team..." Zhou Yi shook his head. "Substitute? I don't think I'm a substitute. Dortmund has no main force and no substitute. Everyone is a rotation player."

After listening to Zhou Yi's answer, the reporters could only shake their heads in their hearts-it was really Zhou Yi's style, correct but boring.

Compared to other Dortmund players' answers, reporters felt more expected-all Dortmund players interviewed talked about the importance of Zhou Yi to the team and their admiration for Zhou Yi.

Although such reports are all touted on one side, it is better than boring talk in a stable manner?

At least the media can also hype the status of Zhou Yi in Dortmund...

After the game against Mainz, everyone's focus shifted to the next round of opponents Leverkusen.

In the past few seasons, everyone's eyes have been on the double hegemony of Dortmund and Bayern Munich, but in fact Leverkusen is also a force in the Bundesliga that cannot be ignored.

Leverkusen had a very successful years at the beginning of this century, but maybe they are more willing to think of them as "dark years." That is the famous "Sanya King".

In the 2001-2002 season, Leverkusen lost to Bayern Munich in the battle for the league title and lost to defending champion Schalke 04 in the German Cup final. The most terrible defeat was of course the loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Glasgow, which allowed Real Madrid to win the ninth Champions League championship. At the same time, Zidane also scored a wonderful achievement before the ancients and the non-comer. The ball was named the best goal in the history of the Champions League, and Leverkusen has become an eternal background...

It stands to reason that Leverkusen is able to achieve "above 10,000 people in one person" in all three events, but this glorious season has left them with the nickname "Sanya King". This nickname It was created not to commend Leverkusen's brilliant record, but to mock Leverkusen's hard work for a season, but in the end the bamboo basket drew nothing and got nothing.

Subsequent facts also proved that the King of Sanya is definitely not a proud achievement for Leverkusen, but a huge blow.

After the end of the season, the main player Ze Roberto switched to Bayern Munich, the domestic rival of the team at that time, and the team's performance has also been declining. The entire season has been hovering on the edge of relegation, and eventually relegated.

In the 2009-2010 season, Heinks began to coach Leverkusen, and the team also ushered in a stable time.

In the 2010-2011 season, they even defeated Bayern Munich in the league and won the league runner-up.

Last season, Leverkusen was also third in the league and qualified for the Champions League this season.

In the league this season, when everyone is paying attention to the grudges of Dortmund and Bayern Munich, Leverkusen has quietly surpassed the recently poor Dortmund and became the second in the league.

This league is a contest between the second place in the league and the third place in the league.

And both teams also face the impact of the Champions League.

Both Dortmund and Leverkusen have to fight for the qualifying group in the final round of the Champions League. Leverkusen is currently ranked third in their group. Their last round is to challenge the Royal Society away, and their The rival and second-ranked Donetsk miners are also away, the opponent is Manchester United. If Leverkusen wants to qualify for the group, they must first defeat Royal Society and then look forward to the FC Shakhtar Donetsk losing to Manchester United on the road.

But the home of the Royal Society is not easy to play. In the group stage, Leverkusen played Royal Society at home, but it was a 2-1 victory. Although Royal Society said that it had been eliminated early, Leverkusen did not dare to take it lightly. So they also face the situation faced by Dortmund-it is impossible not to consider the life and death battle of the Champions League group stage next week, which will affect their mentality and performance in the weekend league.

This game is not only a contest between the second and third league, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is related to the ranking of the respective teams in the league, but also a contest between two excellent Asian players.

The excellent Asian players in Dortmund are of course not referring to Yan Min, who only made his mark in Dortmund, but Zhou Yi, who has been famous for a long time.

Leverkusen also has a long-famous outstanding Asian player-striker Sun Xingming from South Korea.

This is certainly not the first time Sun Xingming and Zhou Yi have faced each other, but before Sun Xingming was in Hamburg, Hamburg was not a very slow team. He was almost relegated in one season. Sun Xingming’s reputation and achievements in Hamburg were far from Zhou Yi. You know that Sun Xingming's three seasons in Hamburg, the best result is only the seventh last season.

Dortmund, where Zhou Yi is, is the Bundesliga champion for three consecutive seasons and won the Champions League last season. Zhou Yi is already a hot star in Europe and won the European Player of the Year award last season.

In fact, the comparability between the two is not high.

But with the transfer of Sun Xingming to Leverkusen this season with a record transfer fee of 10 million euros, coupled with Leverkusen's current performance and ranking in the league. The two seem to have the qualification to compete in the same field, and the possibility of being compared with...

The Korean media, in particular, is particularly enthusiastic and enthusiastic on this issue.

After Park Chi-sung moved away from the mainstream perspective of European football, Korean football seemed to be missing a character who could carry the big flag. Sun Xingming was born at this time, reinvigorating the Koreans. From the relegation team Hamburg, to Leverkusen, who can participate in the European War every year, Sun Xingming has also become more mature and growing quickly.

This naturally made Korean fans and the media have high hopes for him.

This time, under a comparable environment, what performance can he and Zhou Yi play?

Worth looking forward to.
