17. Bottoming out

On 22 October, a day after the UEFA referees' press conference, Borussia Dortmund hosted their opponents in the 10th round of the league, Cologne.

Cologne are tied with Wolfsburg on 13 points after nine rounds and are tied for seventh in the table, a full 10 points more than at the same time last season......

"Cologne's main striker Podolski has made eight league appearances so far, including six starts, and has already scored six goals and provided two assists, and his form is on a hot spot, Dortmund may need to focus on Prince Porti." McKena, who is now a first-line anchor on ZDF, flipped through the pre-match number provided to him by his colleagues, and then patted his mouth in surprise, "Uh, Gudzhin from Dortmund...... His efficiency was even more terrifying, scoring six goals and providing four assists in just three starts and three substitute games, and three days earlier in the Champions League group stage, he scored twice in five minutes to almost help the team turn around...... Shinji Kagawa, the Bundesliga Semi-Player of the Year last season, looked a little overshadowed in front of him. ”

The guest who partnered with him also talked eloquently: "I noticed that Dortmund's starting XI today was almost exactly the same as in the Champions League game three days ago, only one thing changed, that is, Gudqin you just mentioned, replaced Mario Gotze, maybe Klopp wants to show his trust in the player with such practical actions, but can the fitness of the other players really support it?" You know, Dortmund's fast play is the most physically exhausting......"

Then he was immediately slapped in the face until he couldn't take care of himself.

Just under three minutes into the opening period, Grosskreutz's inverted triangle pass down the left flank set up Shinji Kagawa's goal, and then Dortmund's attack was nothing short of how it could have been - exactly what the young man was looking for.

In the past two days, Dort's players, who had had enough of the manager's trash talk, took all their evil fire out on the game, and after taking the lead, they almost gave up the defense, and pressed all the way to the Cologne goal.

Jurgen Klopp crossed his hands over his chest, calmly watching them, not showing a hint of joy at the goal.

This made Dort's players attack even more fiercely.

Robert Lewandowski scored a brace within half an hour, while veteran captain Kyle also blossomed and scored a goal with a snatch from inside the box. At the end of the upper half, the score on the field had become 4-0, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the Cologne players, who were completely pressed back into the penalty area, did not have a single shot on goal in the first half.

After the start of the second half, Dort's players did have a slight fitness problem, and most of them chose to be merciless at their feet and not continue to attack.

But Qin Gude didn't agree.

Throughout the first half, he was a little uncomfortable with the crazy attacking of his team-mates - after only three months of training together, during which he played for the national team, and until now he could not fully keep up with the speed at which Dortmund were running at full speed - so once his team-mates played the crazy pace of last season, it was difficult for him to get too many touches without running-in.

Now that the tempo had finally slowed down, the game had suddenly entered his solo showtime.

In the 55th minute, central defender Hummels cleared the ball at the back and fell into the right area, Qin Goode successfully rubbed the football in the direction he wanted in the header scramble with the defensive opponent, he started to accelerate as soon as he landed, and then took the ball diagonally to the penalty area.

The Cologne team's makeshift back-back partnership today has been beaten into a sieve, and when they saw Qin Goode rushing out of the penalty area and swinging his thighs as if he had entered no one's land, the two central defenders actually took a step back to the sides at the same time with great tacit understanding - they completely gave up the passage in the middle!

Even so, Qin Gude did not choose to continue to break through from the middle, he stood at the front of the penalty area with the door wide open, and used his right foot to pull out a powerful burst.

The distance of 15 meters gave the Cologne goalkeeper no time to react, and he stood firmly in front of the goal with a horse step, without moving his feet for half a minute.

5-0!

Eight minutes later, it was Hummels who launched a long pass over the top from the back, and the ball flew more than 40 meters before finding Lewandowski in front, and the Polish shooter leaned on the opposing defender with his back, jumped up and fought for the top, and then successfully rubbed the ball to the right.

Ready to attack, Qin Goode took his pace to the top in an instant, eating the left wing-back who had just been replaced by Cologne with an unreasonable stride, and blasting the ball into the back of the net before the centre-backs rushed to make up for it.

6-0!

The Cologne goalkeeper had completely given up on the block, and he didn't even make a save, just rolling to the ground on all fours.

Three minutes later, Borussia Dortmund made a comeback, with Kehl cutting off a careless pass from Cologne and taking the ball himself into the attack.

But the 31-year-old was too slow to dribble the ball, and by the time he crossed the centre circle, Cologne had already set up three lines of defence inside and outside the box, completely blocking his way forward.

The captain of Dortmund is not the kind of midfielder who is good at organising and passing, he looked left and right, but still couldn't find any gaps, so he had to hand the ball to his partner Gundogan.

Gundogan's playmaking skills were far better than the former, and after receiving the ball, he just took a diagonal step to the left, and with a hard push of the arch of his right foot, the ball flew to the left on the turf. Grosskreutz received the ball effortlessly, and the Polish Grand Cross, which started at full speed, was like a majestic bull that immediately stirred up a storm on the right side of the Cologne team - and at least three defenders subconsciously moved towards him.

Grand Cross didn't force a breakthrough with a hot head, and seeing that he was already surrounded by a heavy circle, he immediately turned the football under his feet back to Shinji Kagawa, who was in the middle.

The distance of more than 30 meters was a bit out of range for the Japanese core, but he didn't make much adjustment and passed the football directly to Lewandowski, who was fighting with the Cologne central defender, and then went around the back of the guard to continue forward.

"Lewandowski didn't force a turn to shoot, oh! Oh, my God! Heel pass! It's like a divine help! Shinji Kagawa catches the ball and shoots! 7-0! McKenna hasn't stopped this rhythm since the second half, and his throat is now dry and almost torn," Dortmund's two frontcourt players came to an extremely wonderful small-scale one-two, and the tacit understanding between Lewandowski and Kagawa was full! ”

Qin Good, who did not participate in this attack, shrugged his shoulders on the right side: Kagawa Shinji's off-ball running position is indeed very elegant and agile, quite elusive, and that feeling is probably an innate talent, I am afraid it will be difficult to learn.

McKenna previously said that Shinji Kagawa was overshadowed by Qin Goode, but the truth of the matter is by no means like this: Shinji Kagawa has scored two goals and three assists in eight league starts, plus two goals in this game, the number of goals and three passes and efficiency will not be lacking in attention for any team.

It's just that now he has a more efficient and better reversed Chinese by his side, which makes his aura slightly dim.

After 7-0, Dortmund erupted in cheers for two minutes, and manager Jurgen Klopp finally threw away the mask he had worn for 70 minutes and rushed straight into the pitch to celebrate with his players.

Qin Gude clearly saw that the wild and uninhibited coach used the inertia of the rush to push Lewandowski to the ground - the tall and burly Polish striker directly knocked over the billboard outside the stadium.

This was no accident, as Klopp approached Grosskreutz again and viciously slapped Big Cross in both mouths with his large, rough hands......

Then he celebrated with Shinji Kagawa, and the Japanese king's handsome long hair was photographed into a chicken nest by the head coach in an instant......

As for the four big players in the back: Hummels, Subotic, Piszczek, and Schmelzer, none of them escaped this catastrophe, either by Klopp, by him with a combination of punches in the chest, or simply by his big slap to the breath......

Qin Goode found that he was the only one who survived. Even the captain Kyle was held by the head coach and shook from side to side for a long time.

Could this be...... Is Klopp's unique punishment for a player who didn't play well in the last game?
