Chapter 261: The quarterfinals of the German Cup begin

The 21st round of the Bundesliga is over, and Borussia Dortmund deliberately return to the top of the league table.

Because in this round of matches, Bayer Leverkusen, who are at the top of the league, were held to a 1-1 draw away from Bochum and did not get three points. Bayer Leverkusen, who was only one point ahead of Dortmund, was instantly overtaken by Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund's points are at the top of the Bundesliga with 45 points.

In second place is Bayer Leverkusen, who now have 44 points, just one point less than Borussia Dortmund, who are still very precarious at the top of the table.

The third-placed team is Bayern Munich, who are now on 43 points, which is really coming from behind. Sure enough, they are worthy of being the dominant team in the Bundesliga, and once they find their rhythm, their momentum is really unstoppable.

In fourth place is Schalke 04, who are now on 42 points, just one win away from Borussia Dortmund at the top of the league, so they now have the strength to challenge for the Bundesliga title.

In fifth place is Hamburg, with 35 points, which is considered a team in the second group, and there is still a big gap between the teams in front of them, and it is almost impossible to hit the Bundesliga title, it is really impossible.

Behind them are Werder Bremen and Mainz, both of which have 30 points, which is really much worse than the front, and these teams will not affect Dortmund's results.

Borussia Dortmund are now concerned about the top four teams in the league, and these teams pose a very big threat to them.

Bayer Leverkusen's results this season are very good, although there are a little ups and downs, but this fluctuation is not big, it is relatively stable. If Dortmund has some problems in the future, they are really likely to be overtaken by Bayer Leverkusen.

Of course, Bayern Munich is a bigger opponent in the back, and this opponent is the one who should be more guarded against.

Bayern Munich have a lot of experience, and now they are the most feared team because they have a lot of experience.

Because now they've solved the problems within the team and now they're a very united team, which is a great thing. They have also found the right way to play, and their slogan now is to charge, for the championship.

Yes, Bayern Munich are now on the charge for the title, and they are going to make a push.

Dortmund fans are a little worried, Bayern Munich is very strong, if they really break out, they Dortmund can't make any mistakes in the next games.

At this time, Dortmund's manager Jurgen Klopp said to his players: "We are at the top of the Bundesliga now, but it's not a good thing. The more we are at this time, the more we can't take it lightly, we can't be impetuous, because there are many, many super teams behind us, and if I don't care, I'm going to fall off the top of the table, and I may never have a chance to climb up again, you know? ”

Gu Zhen and the Borussia Dortmund players are serious and they understand this.

The next two teams put a lot of pressure on them, and they were all a little nervous at this point.

Klopp continued: "Of course, you don't have to bear some unnecessary pressure, you all play well, show your strength and form, I believe we can maintain the advantage until the end and win the final Bundesliga title!" ”

The Dortmund players bowed their heads and said they understood!

Seeing the players like this, Klopp was a little relieved.

Next, Jurgen Klopp signaled that the Dortmund players were turning their attention to the upcoming German Cup.

Now in the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Borussia Dortmund will take on Hoffenheim in midweek as they battle it out for a place in the last four.

Yes, from now on, Dortmund's schedule is going to be intense.

Borussia Dortmund have a double game this week, with a German Cup game against Hoffenheim in midweek and a trip to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich at the weekend. Then next week is another double fixture, and next week we have the first leg of the Europa League last-32 knockout tie in midweek, which is also very important, with PSV Eindhoven and Hannover 96 in the league at the weekend.

To be honest, these games have not been easy, the only one that was a little easier was against Hannover 96. The other three opponents are difficult to deal with.

Now Klopp just wants the Dortmund players to prepare for me, take it seriously, and play well in the next few key battles.

Yes, these games are very crucial.

First of all, Klopp doesn't want to give up in the German Cup, he wants to win the German Cup, and now that they have reached the quarterfinals, they will naturally not give up.

The weekend's clash with Bayern Munich can be said to be the battle of the Bundesliga this season, and this battle is about the change of the top position in the Bundesliga. At this time, Dortmund naturally do not want to lose to Bayern Munich, they want to get three points, so that they can get a six-point advantage.

Yes, it's a game worth six points.

The knockout rounds of the Europa League next week are also very important, and the first leg is even more important. If the first leg is not played well, then the second leg will become garbage time.

Therefore, this Europa League game is also very difficult to play.

None of these three games for Dortmund can afford to lose, and Klopp is hoping that all three games can be won and won.

Of course, he also knows that this is very stressful for the players, and he asked the team's psychologists to relieve the pressure on the Dortmund players and let them prepare well for these games.

Klopp also found Gu Zhen and asked, "How is it?" Is there a lot of pressure on your body? ”

Gu Zhen shook his head slightly and said: "Actually, it's okay, it's just some ordinary games, what we have to do is to do our best and show our best state, that's it." Because there's more, we can't do it anymore! ”

Klopp bowed slightly, feeling that Gu Zhen's mentality was still very good, and he had a spectrum in his heart.

Jurgen Klopp continued: "It's probably going to be a bit harder because you're going to have to play these games and hopefully you'll be able to get fit, you know? ”

Gu Zhen is now a very important presence in the Dortmund formation, and it is normal for Klopp to ask Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen bowed slightly, indicating that he knew.

Klopp patted Gu Zhen on the shoulder, and then let Gu Zhen go to rest.

After Gu Zhen left, Klopp's brows were still furrowed, and the pressure on the recent schedule was really great. Although he has done everything he needs to prepare now, he will inevitably be a little nervous because these games are so important.

Very, very important.

However, Klopp is not the kind of person who feels sorry for himself.

Now that everything is ready, just wait for the start of the game and don't think about the rest!

Soon, midweek time came, and Borussia Dortmund welcomed Hoffenheim on their home turf.

This is the second time that Dortmund have faced Hoffenheim this season, and they still know Hoffenheim well, this is a team with a lot of potential, and it is also a difficult team to deal with.

There are some players in the opposing team who are still very good and very distinctive, and Dortmund must pay attention to them.

In this game, Klopp naturally lined up the strongest lineup, and Gu Zhen also started.

Hoffenheim can clearly feel the rise of Dortmund people who want to win this game, and they also have some suddenness in their hearts.

Dortmund were expected to focus on the league after all, after all, they will be toiling with their direct rivals Bayern Munich at the weekend. At this time, they shouldn't have to fight with them Hoffenheim.

Therefore, the Hoffenheim came with hope in this game, believing that they would have a chance to beat the substitute Borussia Dortmund and then advance to the last four of the German competition, and even have a chance to challenge for the German Cup title.

Now Dortmund has the strongest lineup here, and it seems that this game is relatively difficult. Yes, Hoffenheim was wrong about the project.

Regardless of the fact that this game is about to come to this point, the Hoffenheim people will naturally not give up.

At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim dominated the game and attacked frantically.

Hoffenheim showed their attitude in this way, they are going to fight Dortmund in this game, and they also attach great importance to the victory of this game, and they must win!

Klopp frowned slightly on the sidelines, he had expected this. But when this meeting really came, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

The Hoffenheim people really want to fight them to the end!

As soon as the game started, the Hoffenheim had a very, very good chance. Eduardo, who broke through on the wing, suddenly crossed the ball directly into the Dortmund penalty area.

In the box, Ibisevic's header almost broke Borussia Dortmund's goal.

Ibisevic is really at a certain level, even if his strength has been greatly affected after his injury, but now there is still a threat from him.

Klopp was also slightly staggered, if this guy wasn't hurt, how powerful it was!

After the start of the game, Dortmund was completely at the bottom of the peak, and the Hoffenheim people were really prepared, and Dortmund couldn't breathe.

Jurgen Klopp kept raising his hand on the sidelines, reminding the Dortmund players to hold on.

At this time, the Dortmund players didn't look very excited, so they didn't play very well in this game, which gave Hoffenheim a lot of opportunities.

The fans at the scene were very nervous, as if their goal was about to be breached in the next moment.

Sure enough, in the 21st minute of the first half, Dortmund scored a goal.

Hoffenheim were given a direct free-kick in front of the goal, and Salihovic, a free-kick master, stood in front of the ball, looked up at the Dortmund goal, and then made an acceleration run, rushed to the front of the ball, and blasted the ball towards the goal.

It was a bocce ball that surprised the wall, and then the ball scurried into the Borussia Dortmund goal to make it 1-0 and Hoffenheim took the lead.
