"Jiang's goal drought, Dortmund's injury crisis"!

This is the headline on the front page of the North Rhine Evening News, a heavy headline that weighs on the hearts of Dortmund fans, just as disturbing as Dortmund's continuous rainy days.

"The Poles are in a row of goals, Bayern continues to win and move forward"!

It was the headline on the front page of the Munich Evening News, and Bayern Munich fans were cheering and cheering on the team, and occasionally expressed concern for Lewandowski's goal drought.

Game by game, match day after match, the days passed quickly, and it was already the 22nd round of the league.

……

Step back in time.

January 30, Round 19 of the league:

Dortmund away 0:0 Braunschweig, Mkhitaryan left the field injured, Jiang Chenxi did not score; Bayern Munich beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 at home, however, Lewandowski did not score.

February 8, Round 20 of the League:

Dortmund away 1:1 Bremen, Jiang Chenxi had an assist, but still failed to score; Bayern Munich 2-0 away at Nuremberg, Muller and Arjen Robben scored, Lewandowski did not score.

11 February, German Cup quarterfinals:

Dortmund away 0:1 Eintracht Frankfurt, out of the cup, Klopp made a large rotation in this game, Jiang Chenxi sat in the stands, and finally chose to give up the cup Dortmund without an accident.

Bayern Munich beat Hamburg 5-0 away, Lewandowski started the game and provided two assists, but he couldn't score and still fell into a goal drought.

……

February 15, Bundesliga Round 21:

Dortmund 1:0 Eintracht Frankfurt at home, Jiang Chenxi assisted Aubameyang to score, but also continued his goal drought in 4 games in all competitions.

Bayern Munich 4-0 Freiburg at home, Mandzukic scored twice, Lewandowski came off the bench and did not score, and the Pole's goal drought in all competitions lasted for five games.

On February 18, the first leg of the 1/8 final of the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League was played twice.

Borussia Dortmund won 0:0 away at AC Milan and struggled to draw a draw from the San Siro Stadium.

Dortmund was passive throughout the game, and the camera looked to the stands from time to time, which seemed to explain the reason for the current predicament of last season's Champions League runners-up: Reus, Gundogan, Mkhitaryan, Subotic, the first three are still recovering from injuries, and the return date is undecided, and Subotic has confirmed the reimbursement of the season.

A day later, Bayern Munich defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 4-2 away in the first leg of the 1/8 final, and Lewandowski still failed to score.

……

Three days later, on February 22, the 22nd round of the Bundesliga.

Dortmund away 0:1 Hamburg, Jiang Chenxi got two shots in the whole game, which was the only two shots on goal, which was also quite threatening, but Hamburg goalkeeper Adler performed extremely bravely, saved the football and prevented Jiang Chenxi's goal from coming.

After the game, the media used a photo of the Chinese star looking up to the sky and sighing: "Tired and lonely Jiang ......"

Counting this game, Jiang Chenxi has not scored in six games in all competitions.

Some media began to criticize Jiang Chenxi, believing that the outstanding performance in the first half of the season was because the opponent team did not know him well enough, and now after the winter break, Jiang Chenxi, whose technical characteristics have been thoroughly studied by the opponent, has greatly reduced his threat.

"Munich Evening News" even asserted that Jiang Chenxi would even be difficult to score a goal in the second half of the season!

……

Putting aside the sunspot remarks such as the "Munich Evening News", there is still some truth in the statements of some media, after half a season, the head coach of the Bundesliga is more familiar with Jiang Chenxi's characteristics and has a more targeted defensive arrangement for him, which greatly increases the difficulty of Jiang Chenxi's goal.

However, this is not the most important reason.

"Kicker" analyzes the most objectively, "Jiang is very lonely and helpless on the field, he needs helpers, he needs someone to deliver him cannonballs, but what about the passer? Royce? in the stands; Mkhitaryan? also recuperating in the stands; Gundogan? He looks like he might be coming back soon, but who knows what the future holds? Now Dortmund, the offense is very monotonous, they can only rely on Jiang's ability to grab points, and frequently play high balls on the side, which means that Jiang often needs to grab points in a double package or even a tighter defensive situation...... Dortmund fell behind in the league, Jiang also continued to lack goals, however, the team's poor record, Jiang should not be responsible, Dortmund sporting director Zorge and club manager Watzger need to stand up and take responsibility, the transfer of Dortmund throughout the winter only brought in a player who could not play in the first team, did not make an injury resolution plan in advance, they should be held responsible......"

Yes, as "Kicker" said, Dortmund fell behind in the league, and at present, after 22 rounds of league games, Dortmund is still ranked second in the league, but it is already 14 points behind Bayern Munich, which is at the top of the table, and with 12 rounds left in the league, it is difficult to imagine how difficult it can be.

……

The North Rhine Evening News immediately supported the Kicker's argument that Borussia Dortmund's management should be held responsible for the team's sudden drop after the winter break, and that the team was so optimistic about the return of Reus and Gundogan that they did not bring in first-team reinforcements for the entire winter break. Reus was injured just after his return, Gundogan was repeatedly injured, and Mkhitaryan was also injured, which eventually led to Dortmund having the best point-grabbing scorer in the entire league, but because there was no passer, they fell into a goal crisis, and finally the league continued to lose points, and they were getting farther and farther away from the league championship.

At the same time, the "North Rhine Evening News" made a sharp counterattack against the "Munich Evening News" criticizing Jiang Chenxi's remarks: Jiang fell into a goal drought, which is inseparable from Dortmund's serious injury, and Jiang is lonely and helpless in front...... However, your Poles are not alone, Ribery, Robben, Muller, Schweinsteiger, Thiago, Bayern Munich is now more healthy than ever, but how many goals did the Poles score? Zero!

The meaning of "North Rhine Evening News" is very clear: Jiang Chenxi is obviously a goal shortage, not because of his own ability, but because of the general environment of Dortmund, and Lewandowski is in a goal drought, which is not to shake the pot, if Jiang Chenxi has such a helper configuration, the current number of goals would have been left behind the Poles.

Yes, Lewandowski, like Jiang Chenxi, still continues to score goals.

……

"The North Rhine Evening News is right." Su Xun comforted her boyfriend and said, "If you don't score now, it's really not your problem, you need a passing helper, but unfortunately you don't have it now." ”

Jiang Chenxi was silent, he knew that what Su Xun said had a certain truth, but he was still in a bad mood, for a shooter, he was not able to score, this is not what it should be, the shooter takes scoring goals as the criterion! This is the iron truth!

No reason!

No explanation!

Goals speak!

……

City of Munich.

"Nonsense!" Anna comforted her husband, "Don't listen to the of that Dortmund media, Robert, you're doing well right now, don't put pressure on yourself." ”

"No, dear." Lewandowski had a serious expression, "If you don't score, it's the shooter's responsibility." ”

"It was supposed to be my chance to surpass that kid in the scorer rankings, but unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of it." Lewandowski said with annoyance.

Lewandowski is not a person who does not have the courage to admit the problem, the newspaper has a certain truth, Jiang Chenxi is in a goal drought, which is related to the bad situation of the whole Dortmund team, but he is at Bayern Munich, there are too many top stars around him, and Bayern Munich is now on a winning streak and is soaring in the league, in this case, he has no reason not to score.

According to a news report from the Munich media, the Polish striker, who was in a goal drought, was not affected by the mood and was still entertaining the whole team to a big dinner at a famous restaurant in Munich.

……

Three days later.

The 23rd round of the Bundesliga is played first.

At the end of the ninety-minute game, the entire Bundesliga was shocked:

Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg 6:1 at home, and it is not big news that the Southern Kings won the game, the big news is that Lewandowski scored a goal, breaking the goal drought, and the most sensational thing is that from the 51st to the 60th minute of the game, Lewandowski scored five goals in a row!

After Jiang Chenxi's feat of five goals in nine minutes in the match with Stuttgart, the media exclaimed that this was a miracle that no one could create again, and no one thought that only a few months later, someone in the Bundesliga would do it again!

'I had a dream in which I scored five goals in nine minutes in a game and now it's a dream come true. After the game, the Pole, who broke the goal drought in the way of '95 Supreme', said very excitedly.

"Really, that dream is real...... said the Pole emotionally.

At the end of this campaign, in the Bundesliga scorer list, Lewandowski, who broke the goal drought with the feat of 95 Supreme, overtook Jiang Chenxi, his goal count was 24 goals, and the number of goals still stuck in the goal drought was still 20 goals.

……

The whole of German football is boiling.

The media went berserk.

It's crazy to have two players in a row to score five goals in nine minutes in a season.

The media praised Lewandowski.

Of course, this level of enthusiasm still can't be compared with the popularity and praise that Jiang Chenxi received at that time, after all, the first person to do it is not the same as the second person to do it.

This made Lewandowski a little unhappy in his excitement, but it didn't matter, what mattered: now he broke the goal drought in this way, and that kid is still in the goal drought.

The media also shifted their attention from Munich to Dortmund, Lewandowski broke the goal drought, and such a crazy operation, under such a stimulus, what kind of response will Jiang make?

Borussia Dortmund will be in a day from this round of the Bundesliga......
