Chapter 130: Lock the Halfway Champion in Advance!
"Whew-"
After Götze broke through Holtby with his brilliant footwork, the sky above the Coface Arena erupted in the air with the long-lost chanting of Dortmund fans. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Countless Mainz fans chose to close their eyes and pray to God while appearing alone, hoping that God would stand up and resolve this disaster.
However, God seems to have abandoned its followers at this time.
Gotze broke through Holtby and goalkeeper Wittkolo chose to abandon the goal when there was no way to do so.
Dortmund fans in front of the TV were expecting Götze to score his second goal of the game, but instead of taking credit this time, he played the ball into the middle with Lewandowski running into position.
"Pretty!!"
With a chant from Marcel Leif, Lewandowski picked up his left foot as he ran.
With goalkeeper Wittkolo already on the back of the net, he could do nothing about Lewandowski who was kicking up the middle of the goal, and the ball flew into the unguarded empty goal.
Lewandowski, who scored the goal, was so happy that he gestured to the smiling Gotze as he ran and gestured to celebrate the goal together.
The Mainz fans at the Coface Arena slowly sat back in their seats, looking at the Dortmund players celebrating their goals with sad expressions.
At the same time, they have to endure the bursts of cheers from the Dortmund fans.
There is nothing more painful in the world than this.
They thought of a lot of scripts before the game, and the one that got the most recognition was Mainz's narrow home win over Borussia Dortmund to reach the top of the league table.
Of course, they also know that Mainz will not be able to win the league title with their current ability and depth on the bench, but they will like to see their side top of the league by the end of 2010.
Alas ~ tears!
Head coach Thomas Tuchel is not as sad as the fans, having thought about this result before the game.
One goal down is certainly not convincing, but two goals down is different.
This means that there is a certain gap between them, so I am convinced now.
He turned his head to look at Klopp, the former Mainz manager with a calm expression, and said to himself: "Predecessor, it's really powerful." ”
In the end, Dortmund won the game with Gotze's shot and pass in the second half!
And Gotze also won the first full match of his career with one shot and one pass in this game.
In his regular post-match press conference, Mainz legend Jurgen Klopp didn't say much about Borussia Dortmund's away victory, but instead focused on the earth-shaking changes that have taken place under Thomas Tuchel.
The local media from Mainz had mixed feelings, but unfortunately the days that had passed could never be returned.
Next up was the home coach Thomas Tuchel's regular post-match press conference, where he was comfortable accepting the defeat and said he was very happy with the results he has achieved.
Borussia Dortmund are strong and a home defeat is not a surprise.
※※※
With an away win over Mainz, Dortmund are unbeaten in the last ten rounds of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season with nine wins and one draw, and are top of the table with 28 points!
Four points ahead of second-placed Mainz and ten points ahead of joint-third Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen.
Defending champions Bayern Munich have just won four, drawn three and lost three of their ten league games, and are 13 points behind Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table with almost one-third of the league fixtures in place.
Many German media believe that the defending champions have withdrawn from the competition for the league title ahead of schedule.
In addition, Borussia Dortmund's arch-rivals Schalke 04 have an even worse league record.
With just one win in 10 league games, they are in 17th place on goal difference.
As a sworn enemy of the Ruhr area, one is at the top of the league and the other is almost at the bottom of the league.
The contrast is huge, and Dortmund fans are very proud.
After playing away league games, Dortmund have all finished their October campaign and will head on to November's fixtures.
In November, Borussia Dortmund don't have many fixtures, and the task is much easier than in October, when there is an international break and six games.
Four league games and one Europa League match.
Borussia Dortmund take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in midweek.
Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain have won two and drawn one in the last three Europa League group stages, so no one wants to lose this game.
So both sides of the game worked defense, Paris Saint-Germain had a targeted defense against Tang Zheng again, and Dortmund did not play much effective attack.
Paris Saint-Germain also paid too much attention to Tang Zheng, so that their attack failed to play.
At the end of the ninety minutes, the two sides exchanged blank papers, and each won one point.
After four rounds of the Europa League group stage, Group J has a delicate form.
Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain are in the top two of Group J with two wins and two draws respectively, while Sevilla, who have lost two consecutive games in the first two rounds, performed well in the third and fourth rounds, beating Capati home and away, and ranking third with six points from four games, two wins and two losses.
With two rounds left in the group stage, there is still a chance to compete for a qualifying spot.
The final two rounds of the group stage will be played in December, just before the winter break.
According to the 2010-2011 Bundesliga schedule, Dortmund has a lot to do before the winter break.
In addition to the two crucial Europa League group games, they have three league games and a German Cup third round fixture.
In other words, Dortmund will play six games in 22 days in December, an average of three and a half days.
The physical demands on his players will be extremely demanding, so Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp quickly adjusted his focus after playing away to Paris Saint-Germain in the fourth round of the Europa League group stage, returning all his attention to the league.
Grab points!!
Throughout November, Borussia Dortmund have been in excellent form.
After a brief slump at the end of October and the beginning of November, Tang Zheng, the core of the attack, delivered a very perfect answer.
Two goals, five assists!
Four wins in a row is the result of Dortmund's four league games in November!
It is worth mentioning that in these four games, they have scored a staggering twelve goals and conceded just one.
※※※
The German media noticed Dortmund's excellent form as early as Dortmund's opening eight consecutive wins, but they did not expect Dortmund's excellent form to continue into 14 rounds.
Thirteen wins, one draw and 40 points, high in the league table.
And this result also set a new Bundesliga points record!
In addition, the 40 points in 14 rounds also give Dortmund a full 10 points ahead of second-placed Mainz, 14 points ahead of third-placed Bayer Leverkusen, and 965 points ahead of fourth-placed Hannover.
Defending champions Bayern Munich have just six wins, five draws and three defeats after 14 rounds of matches, accumulating 23 points, a full 17 points away from Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.
With the end of the 14th round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, Dortmund won the league halfway championship three rounds ahead of schedule!
At this time, the focus of the German media and the mainstream European media was once again on Dortmund.
The Bundesliga half-way points record is 44 points set by German overlord Bayern Munich in the 2005-2006 season, and Dortmund scored 40 points after 14 rounds, which means that they only need one win and one draw in three league games in December to tie Bayern Munich's Bundesliga half-point record!
Judging by the fixtures, Dortmund seem to have a good chance of setting a points record.
Because their remaining three opponents are not strong, they are away to Nuremberg, home to Werder Bremen and away to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Interestingly, Borussia Dortmund face very close league opponents in December, with Eintracht Frankfurt in ninth place with 20 points, Nuremberg in 10th place with 18 points, and Werder Bremen in 11th place on goal difference after losing their core Mesut Ozil.
Many media predict that as long as Dortmund does not make mistakes in the next league, it is even very likely to win three consecutive victories according to the terrifying state from the beginning of the league to the present!
The headline of the 14th round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season in Bild said: "This season's Bundesliga season is destined to be Dortmund's! They have won a crazy thirteen games in the league and have sealed the halfway championship ahead of schedule! The storm of youth is unstoppable!"
"I believe Borussia Dortmund will win the league title this season without any doubt! Because they are so good! Thirteen wins and one draw in 14 league games, scoring 37 goals and conceding only seven! Performances at both ends of the Bundesliga are the best in the Bundesliga this season! What reason is there to doubt that Dortmund will not win the league title in 2010-2011?" the sports section of Le Monde headlined.
"Absolute core, Chinese Tang led Dortmund to blow a yellow youth storm! Seven goals and eleven assists! Who would have thought? At this time, there are still people who doubt that Dortmund will not win the league championship under his leadership? What is the defending champion Bayern Munich doing? Six wins, five draws and three losses! Twenty-three points! Whether a Champions League place can be guaranteed at the end of next season is a question!!" The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung headline reported.
Germany's largest football newspaper and two major general newspapers are praising Dortmund's excellent performance this season, and as Dortmund's local media, it is natural that it cannot be left behind.
But considering that there are still 20 rounds left in the league, everything will be variable, in order to be undefeated, they simply gave the corresponding data, and did not shout ironclad to win the championship.
At this time, Dortmund fans are very excited, first the team has performed well in the league, and the last 14 rounds of the league alone have sealed the league halfway point in advance.
Then there's their arch-rivals Schalke 04, who sit 15th in the past fourteen rounds, just one point above the relegation zone.
If it weren't for their good performance in the Champions League group stage, it is estimated that Magath, who has the highest annual salary in the Bundesliga, would have been sacked......
