2-0, a very disappointing scoreline, despite Dortmund's second-half attack, there was still nothing to gain, but Leverkusen counterattacked to extend the score. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
2-0, a very embarrassing score, no one expected that Dortmund, who had just overturned Real Madrid, was actually led by Leverkusen by two goals and was on the verge of losing.
Even long-time fans who have watched the game for many years can't fully understand the game. After all, Dortmund had just beaten Real Madrid a few days ago, and their form was at its peak, so how could they play such a scoreline.
Fortunately, there are two commentators who have solved the puzzle and listed a lot of reasons that are not good for the team. For example, physical fitness, such as luck, and tactics, etc., let Dortmund fans understand that even if Dortmund wins against Real Madrid, it is possible to lose away to Bayer Leverkusen.
However, most fans agree with the two commentators' opinion that this is a game similar to RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen used the same tactics as RB Leipzig to suppress Dortmund's attack, and the Chinese boy's inability to play was the key to Dortmund's loss. But there are also some fans who feel it's a bit too early to talk about losing, as Dortmund still have a chance with ten minutes to go.
Equally unwilling to fail was the charismatic coach Tuchel, who was standing on the sidelines, shouting at the players like crazy. The excitement, the angry eyes, even if the players are far away, can feel it. Thomas Tuchel had to push his players to seize the final 10 minutes and try to equalise. He wants to prove to the media that his team can win even without relying on Chinese boys.
'Coach Tuchel is urging his players to launch the final counter-attack. Boris, we're already two goals down, do you think we'll have a chance to move back? Dicker asked quietly.
'If there's a fourth substitution, maybe we'll have a chance.' Rupert replied meaningfully.
"The fourth substitution? How could this be ......" Dicker was puzzled, but Dicker reacted quickly, "Oh, I see, Boris, you're actually trying to say Pong, right?" ”
"Against RB Leipzig, we lost; Is it a coincidence that we are going to lose against Bayer Leverkusen and that Pang did not play in both games? Rupert asked rhetorically, "I don't want to overstate the importance of a player, but without Poon's game, Dortmund sometimes really lack the means to score......
"Man, I know what you mean, change! The question you've been highlighting over and over again. Dicker replied, "We lost away to RB Leipzig and we had the advantage against Bayer Leverkusen this time, but we just didn't score because of the lack of change in the team's attack......
On the pitch, the Dortmund players felt the anger of their coach Tuchel and launched a final counter-attack. In the 85th minute of the game, Dembele broke through Leverkusen's left fullback No. 39 Enriquez on the right side and successfully crossed the bottom; The pass looked like a shot, and Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper No. 1 Leno saved the ball, but Aubameyang couldn't kick it when he was pressed by pharmaceutical centre-back No. 21 Toprak, and the ball slid past the goal.
“…… Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed his chance again and he was in really bad form today...... "Dikel suppressed his anger.
"Dortmund's reliance on Aubameyang in this game, and the fact that he was under the heavy care of Bayer Leverkusen, was a big reason why Dortmund's attack was repeatedly blocked...... Rubeer commented.
In the 87th minute of the game, Dortmund had another chance. This time it was Moore, who got rid of Bayer Leverkusen's right wing-back No. 18 Wendel on the left flank, cut directly into the box diagonally, sent a cross, and Aubameyang flanked the right side of the box and volleyed home.
"The ball is in ......" Dicker's shout was just out of the air, and suddenly there was no follow-up. It turned out that the linesman raised the flag of offside and blew the goal away, "Damn, the linesman signaled offside......"
'It was an offside goal indeed.' Rupert watched the slow-motion replay and said, "Aubameyang stepped forward too early this time, and the moment Moore passed the ball, he was indeed in an offside position......
"Aubameyang, Aubameyang, hey......" Dicker didn't know what to say, a great chance to score before, the kick was missed; This time it was another good chance, offside. Even Dicker, who had admired Aubameyang before, was quite unhappy with his performance in this game.
"It's like that, it's all about the form of a player. Success is also him, failure is also his ......," Rupert said depressedly
Aubameyang's two mistakes directly made the angry Tuchel coach depressed and returned to the coaching box, and Aubameyang, who Tuchel has always relied on very much, did not surprise him in the end.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was also very depressed, and he was taken care of by Bayer Leverkusen in this game and did not play at his normal level. Originally, this match was his proof battle, proving that he could lead the team to victory even without the Chinese boys. Now it seems that it is too difficult to lead the team to win by relying on his performance alone.
In fact, this is the dilemma that Dortmund is facing now, once the team loses speed in attack, Aubameyang will be greatly reduced and become a very average team. Last season, even though Aubameyang was not performing well, he had Mkhitaryan and Reus around him to share the pressure; This season, it became a fat man who shared the pressure on Aubameyang, but unfortunately the fat man could not play in this game, and it became Aubameyang struggling to support him alone.
In the end, Bayer Leverkusen won 2-0 and Borussia Dortmund lost their second game of the season.
'It was a really disappointing game. In the first 10 minutes I was disappointed with the first goal conceded and then for the next 80 minutes I was disappointed with the attack. Dicker concluded by commenting, "We weren't in shape for the whole game, is it because we played two games a week? So why Leverkusen wasn't affected by the two games in a week, I think it was the team's preparation that went wrong and we didn't pay enough attention to Bayer Leverkusen before the game. In addition, the team's tactics have gone wrong, and the double back has always been the key to Dortmund's victory, but why not stick to it this time? It was because of Weigel's problems that the team was dragged down on both offensive and defensive ends, not only did they concede two goals, but the team did not play with speed when attacking, which led to our attack being forced to play positional battles throughout the game, and it is not surprising to lose......
"First of all, I would like to apologize to the Dortmund fans and I admit that I was wrong in this game! Bayern's draw at home to Cologne should remind me that fitness is a big issue with Borussia Dortmund, but considering that Bayer Leverkusen are also in the Champions League, fitness is equal for both teams. "I think we lost for two reasons, one is that the players are not in good shape, especially the attacking players up front. Aubameyang wasted too many opportunities in this game, but as long as he can seize an opportunity, Dortmund will not be so passive, Aubameyang's poor performance In addition to his own poor state, his teammates did not give him enough support is also one of the reasons, the quality of today's crosses is very poor, and the attack of Dembele and others is not active enough, resulting in Aubameyang being taken care of by the opponent; The second is the absence of Pang, I have never dared to confirm Pang's status in Dortmund before, because Pang is too young and has not been in the team long enough, but after two away defeats, I finally understand the importance of Pang to Dortmund. As long as Pang plays, Pang can not only attract the opponent's defense, free up his teammates, but also create scoring opportunities, and Pang now has an irreplaceable role in the team......"
After losing this game, the gap between Dortmund and Bayern has widened to four points. This put the pressure on Thomas Tuchel, who was aiming to win the title. Even more pressure on Tuchel's coach was the post-match press conference, where he was bombarded with reporters. As a last resort, Tuchel only answered a few questions before leaving the press conference in embarrassment.
Thomas Tuchel's bad luck wasn't over yet, though, as the German media published articles in the days that followed, giving their views on the game.
"Dortmund have lost two of the six league games and are on the verge of winning the title", is the comment of the kicker of the famous football magazine. The article believes that if Dortmund wants to compete with Bayern for the championship this season, it is urgent to improve the away results. Because Dortmund have lost two of their first three away games. Whether the Chinese boys can play is a key factor in determining Dortmund's results. Because Dortmund won both the games in which the Chinese boys played, and Dortmund lost the two games that the Chinese boys missed, the Chinese boys have become an indispensable player for Dortmund.
Although this point of view has been put forward by the media before, most of the German media do not agree, after all, it will take time for Chinese boys to grow into the core of the team. The media is different from the fans, the fans are more emotional, to get the recognition of the fans, maybe the players only need one or two games to perform well; The media is more rational and they prefer to evaluate a player's performance over a period of time. Therefore, the kicker made such an early statement, which surprised many media outlets. Because the kicker is so influential, it is almost synonymous with authority.
Although some media did not agree with Kicker Magazine's opinion about fat people, they did not come out to refute it, because this review of Kicker Magazine used a lot of data. For example, the fat man has contributed 6 goals and 5 assists in the four league games he has participated in, 5 goals and 2 assists in two games in the Champions League, and 2 goals and one assist in 1 cup game, these statistics are too eye-catching.
Europeans have an incredible love for data, they like to use data to analyze, they also like to use data to demonstrate, and they trust and rely on data. These figures have already declared the status of the fat man in Dortmund.
'I really hope Coach Tuchel can take a good look at Kicker Magazine and write this article. All along, he was too stubborn, he didn't recognize Chinese boys, but the data did. Hopefully, coach Tuchel can think about it, does he want the title, or stick to his own tactics......" A fan commented on Dortmund's official website.
"I think the Chinese boys are the core of the team, more important than Aubameyang, because the Chinese boys play in the midfield, and in a team, the core of the midfield is the real core of the team...... "second floor
"In my mind, the Chinese boys have long been at the heart of the team. From the warm-up matches to the main matches, from the league to the Champions League, Dortmund won all the matches with Chinese boys, which has already explained everything......" third floor

The recognition of the media and fans has made the fat man's status in Dortmund rise day by day, but the fat man has no time to worry about these now, since the club Dortmund gave him two weeks of vacation, the fat man has been dedicated to taking care of Caroline. Three heat streams a day are essential, as this is Caroline's time to eat. The fat man also attended a seminar on Caroline's condition at Victoria Hospital, but was disappointed because even though many of Europe's top experts were involved in the consultation, there was still no way to find a cure.
Watching Caroline lying on the hospital bed lose weight day by day, the fat man's heart was like a knife. The fat man really regarded Caroline as his own relative this time. The fat man's infatuation touched many people in Victoria Hospital. After all, the fat man is just Caroline's boyfriend, and he is not married yet, and the fat man's move makes many Europeans feel incredible.
Fat people frequently use heat flow, which causes fat people to become thinner and thinner. However, the fat man's weight did not decrease, but the muscles became denser, and the fat man's body shape, which had always been slightly fat, finally returned to normal, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. However, the fat man didn't notice this at all, and it wasn't until the fat man put the jersey back on that he realized this fact, because the jersey that had been fitting well suddenly became wider.
The fat man took care of Caroline wholeheartedly, but he didn't know that the national football team had experienced two very painful defeats during this time. First lost 0:1 to Syria in Xi'an on October 6, and then lost 0:2 in the away game against Uzbekistan.
The fat man later took the time to watch these two games, and I have to say that it is a pity to lose these two games. Four games, four sets of main lineups, even the world-class strong team does not dare to rotate such a large area, the fat man does not know why Director Gao did this, but the fat man knows that this is the fundamental reason for the loss of the national football team. The fat man couldn't help but remember what Zhang Chengdong said to himself when he was training in the national team: Now the management of the national team is chaotic, and it is impossible to gather the strongest combat effectiveness at all.
Subsequently, Director Gao's voluntary resignation made the fat man more confirmed what he thought in his heart. 'The water for the national team is too deep! The fat man shook his head helplessly, and the idea of returning to the national team was even weaker.
