Borussia Dortmund's narrow 1-0 win away to Cologne caused a huge sensation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Borussia Dortmund set a new league start, and it may be difficult to break for a long time to come.
Otherwise, the league opening records set in 1995-1996 and 2001-2002 would not have been broken until now.
Coupled with the fact that Dortmund created an eight-game winning streak in the league does not mean the end, but a new beginning.
Their next league opponents are not particularly strong, namely Hoffenheim and Mainz.
As long as the performance is normal, the winning streak will not be able to run.
At the end of the game, the Dortmund players at the Rheinenergy Stadium were very excited, especially the Paraguayan striker Barrios, who contributed to the stunner off the bench.
Speaking to Dortmund's local media, Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp was very happy at the post-match press conference, saying: "We thought before the game that we would break the league opening record, but when the record came out we couldn't believe it...... The Dortmund fans who came to the Rheinenergy Stadium are the most grateful, and we wouldn't have achieved this without their silent support!"
Fischer, who lost the game, was very gracious and sent his blessings to the victor Dortmund: "Judging from the performance of the game, Dortmund really deserved to win the game, because they played more patiently!
Speaking about Dortmund stepping on Cologne's shoulders to set a new Bundesliga record, Fischer said: "God is fair, it's just that we are very unfortunate to be Dortmund's eighth opponent in the new season, I think just like any team, Dortmund who performed well would win the game......"
The next day, the content of the German media and the main European media basically revolved around Dortmund to create a new opening league record in the Bundesliga.
Everyone knows that it is very difficult to win streaks in the new season, because often at the end of each season, new players come in and old players leave, and the tactical style of play will be affected to a certain extent.
As a result, many big teams often suffer from their results at the beginning of the season, so there is no way to get a winning streak in the opening stages.
Only as the league deepens will the winning streak of the big teams seem normal.
In the five major leagues in Europe, the longest winning streak at the beginning of the league was Tottenham, but at that time it was not called the Premier League, but called League One, and Tottenham Hotspur created an eleven consecutive wins at the beginning of the league.
In second place are Real Madrid's nine-game winning streak in the league in 1968-1969 and Juventus in 2005-2006.
Ligue 1 Lille had a record of eight consecutive league wins in the 1936-1937 season, which no Ligue 1 team has ever broken.
However, because the historical records of Lille, Tottenham and Real Madrid are too far away and lack the contrast of the times, the German media did not pay attention to La Liga, the Premier League and Ligue 1, and they expected Dortmund to hit a new Bundesliga opening streak record.
At the same time, the German media are also focusing on Mainz's home league game against Hamburg.
Judging from the past seven rounds of the league, Mainz also has a chance to share the Bundesliga winning streak with Dortmund.
Ahead of the game, Mainz manager Thomas Tuchel said his side were ready for a new record.
However, when the game began, the Mainz players playing at home did not play as well as they could have been beaten by Hamburg at the Coface Arena.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel is a passionate young manager who frequently stirs up emotions on the sidelines.
However, the results were not significant.
In the end, Mainz, who were at home, lost 0:1 to Hamburg, which had shown signs of rebounding recently, and the winning streak at the beginning of the league came to an end.
Mainz's home defeat also means that Dortmund have a winning streak in the Bundesliga with eight consecutive league wins.

It is also unknown if it was Borussia Dortmund's eight-game winning streak in the opening league that caused some players to have a problem with their mentality, and they played a bit arrogantly in the third group stage of the Europa League at home to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.
If it weren't for the header of the captain Tang Zheng at the end of the game, it is estimated that Dortmund at home would have suffered a defeat.
Borussia Dortmund's arrogance continued into the weekend, when they were unexpectedly blocked by Hoffenheim just when everyone was expecting them to make it nine wins in a row.
1:1
This is the score displayed by the referee on duty after blowing the whistle at the end of the match.
The Dortmund fans at the Westfalfa Stadium looked a little puzzled, and if the midweek draw with Paris Saint-Germain was excusable, the home draw at Hoffenheim was a bit incomprehensible.
In the past, the team has beaten super teams such as Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04 and Bayern in succession, how can they not beat Hoffenheim, who have not been in excellent form recently?
Of course, Dortmund fans just didn't understand and weren't disappointed.
They are very happy with the team's eight consecutive league wins, and it is normal for football matches to be won and lost.
Again...... Didn't the team lose either?
Hoffenheim are also not a belly team, as they are fourth in the league so far this season.
However, the ill-intentioned media have ulterior motives to make a fuss about Dortmund's successive home draws against Paris Saint-Germain and Hoffenheim.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung believes that Dortmund's successive home draws are due to conflicts within the team, which leads to problems with each other's cooperation.
At the same time, they have the so-called evidence.
As captain of the field, Tang Zheng has been a team-mate in both games, notably in the Europa League group stage at home to Paris Saint-Germain, where he was impatient during the long period of his team's lag and blamed Barrios for a random shot.
And the evidence of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" is the screenshot of the scene that the director of the scene pounced.
Although Tang Zheng and Barrios both refuted the rumors one after another in the post-match interview, many media were willing to believe that they had contradictions......
Next up in the league at home to Hoffenheim, the data from the Süddeutsche Zeitung is even more obvious.
They talked about Tang Zheng having fewer passes to Barrios than in previous games.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung is well-founded, accompanied by broadcast footage, the course of the game and actual data, as if what they say is true.
In this regard, there are really many fans who believe it.
Dortmund fans, who are looking forward to the team's revival, show great concern that if the team's top scorer and the core of the team are at a conflict when the team is playing at a high level and form, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the team.
Looking at the relevant report of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", Tang Zheng smiled.
Very speechless kind.
The home game against Paris Saint-Germain was nothing more than a passive and nervous state that didn't turn around, so it looked like a particularly big reaction.
As for the decrease in the number of passes to Barrios, it is due to Hoffenheim consciously cutting the connection between him and Barrios, resulting in a decrease in the number of passes.
Taking words out of context has always been the media's favorite thing to do.

Dortmund have gone from eight consecutive league wins to two draws in all competitions, and manager Jurgen Klopp's reaction to the outside world is normal.
But he behaved very seriously in the team, the team drew one after another, and it was at home, which was a little unacceptable!
Because it's not a problem with their right skills and tactics, it's a change in the attitude of some players to play.
So Klopp gave the team a political lesson before preparing for the second round of the German Cup.
Dortmund's goal is not to start the season on a winning streak, but to win the league title.
The league is a long season and it takes players to work together to achieve that glory.
During this time, the players who were a little fluttering in their hearts lowered their heads and listened to Klopp's criticism.
A player like Tang Zheng, who has always been conscientious, did not feel any guilt, and he listened with his head held high as the manager talked about the team's recent bad habits.
"Don, now that both Dede and Sebastian are in the recovery period, as captain on the field, I want to hear your thoughts and outlook on the team. ”
After Klopp criticized the mentality of the players, he suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Zheng.
The atmosphere in the tactics room was heavy, not only Tang Zheng was surprised, but the team members were also surprised.
However, they have more expectations than Tang Zheng's accident.
Feeling the expectation of his teammates, Tang Zheng was not the kind of person with stage fright, he coughed lightly and stood up.
But he didn't speak for the first time, but nodded in the direction of the coaching staff, and then slowly spoke: "Unknowingly, it has been one year and three months since I came to Dortmund, and I really enjoy the days of fighting for victory with everyone, and I will not say it anymore after a lot ......of words have been said."
Speaking of this, he paused and glanced at his dedicated teammates: "I think my goal is the same as many brothers, to win all the championships!"
"Don't be surprised, because this is not an impossible goal! Don't forget that the league is soaring, qualifying for the Europa League is not a problem, and we are the defending champions of the German Cup!" Tang Zheng became more and more excited, fanning the emotions of his teammates like a demagogue, and said passionately: "We have a saying in China that where there is a will, there is a way! There is also a saying that if a person has no goal, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"
If the previous words of the Dortmund players are full of fighting spirit, then the last sentence is tantamount to ridicule.
And Tang Zheng's level of Chinese-German translation is already very high, which can ensure that the original flavor is transmitted to the ears of his teammates, so everyone laughed, and the original heavy atmosphere disappeared completely.
In its place, there was the relaxed, cheerful atmosphere that had been present at the beginning of the season.
Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff looked at each other and they saw a sense of hope in each other's eyes.
Tang Zheng not only has the ability to decide the game, but also has great leadership skills.
This season, you can do a big ticket!
