On August 31, everyone was shocked by Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, and on the same day, Aachen began his journey in the German Cup.

In the first round of the German Cup, Aachen's opponent was a team from the German lower league.

Such a team can win even last season's Aachen.

As a result, Bernd and Ribery were on the bench, and Zhuo Cunzhi was not even selected for the squad.

Even Hach changed Aachen's on-field tactics, and it should be said that he reused Aachen's tactics from last season.

Even so, Aachen won a comfortable 3-1 victory over the team called Els Auer.

Of course, such a match did not attract everyone's attention as a matter of course, but some media in the Aachen region believed that Aachen should take advantage of his excellent form to focus on the league competition, abandon the German Cup and fight for a place in the European competition.

Hach didn't even bother with this, his attention was drawn to something more important—

In the fourth round of the Bundesliga, Aachen will play at home against Borussia Dortmund, the Bundesliga champions of last season.

As the only three teams in Germany to have won the Champions League, Dortmund's heritage in Germany surpasses Hamburg, which is also the European champion, and second only to the king Bayern Munich.

In the nineties of last season, Dortmund's momentum even suppressed Bayern, becoming the only Bundesliga team to win the Champions League in the 90s and 99s.

At that time, the Hornets were unrivaled and were a strong team in the whole of Europe.

However, after the beginning of the new century, with the meritorious coach Heathfield poached by Bayern, Dort entered a low ebb again, only two or three years before winning the Champions League in 97, Dortmund once fell to the point of needing to fight for relegation!

This is the fall! It's a real depravity!

Pulling Dortmund out of the quagmire again is the core of Dortmund during the 97 Champions League, and it is also the best German libero after Beckenbauer - Summer.

In the European Cup in 96, Germany, which was not valued by the lack of major generals, was stunned under the leadership of Summer, successfully broke through all the way, and finally defeated the Czech team and won the European Cup.

Summerer himself also managed to win the Ballon d'Or that year with his performance at the European Championship.

After retiring from the professional role, Summer's deep understanding of football quickly took up the whip of the Hornets.

When Summerr took over, Dortmund still had to fight for relegation, and when Summerer took over, Dortmund won the Bundesliga last season.

However, many people feel that Summer's coaching ability is actually not that strong.

First of all, because there is nothing special about his tactical attainments, which is not enough to make people shine.

The second and most important point is that Dortmund has spent a lot of money in recent years.

Not to mention anything else, during the winter break of the 00-01 season, Rosicky was brought in with 14.5 million euros.

Such a transfer fee was unbelievable in the Bundesliga at that time.

Thankfully, Summerer and Rosicky lived up to their promises, and Dortmund finished third in the league that season and managed to get out of the quagmire.

After tasting the sweetness, Dortmund spent the money, and it was even more out of control.

15.8 million euros to introduce Amorusso in Serie A Golden Boot, 10.5 million euros to introduce high school striker Jankoller, 8.5 million euros to introduce Frings, with the introduction of Metzeld and Sebastian at a low price. Kyle, as well as Dort's original Dede, Warnes, Ricken and many other players, Dortmund has once again become a strong team in the Bundesliga, and this season is also working hard to win the Bundesliga.

It's just that, perhaps because the novelty has passed, the current form of the Dortmund players is not as good as last season.

The results of one win and two draws in the first three rounds have been stretched by Aachen by four points.

Although the current score gap is not telling, it is enough to show that Dortmund's form this season is not so good.

Even so, the Aachen players were well rested before heading into the game against Borussia Dortmund.

Aachen, who is in super form, against the defending champion Dort, who is not in good form, makes the match between the two teams the focus of this round of matches.

Even Bayern's derby against Munich 1860 was relatively ignored.

All the players are looking forward to a battle to upset the situation in the Bundesliga, which they have long been tired of.

However, in the eyes of most fans, it will be Borussia Dortmund who will win in the end, even if Aachen only beat fellow Bayer Leverkusen in the previous round.

After all, when the two sides compare the heritage of their own clubs, Aachen is quite unmentionable.

And this kind of thing is usually intangible, but it does exist and has a huge role.

Rather, if it weren't for Aachen's performance too well before, then the question of who wins and who loses doesn't need to be discussed at all.

Dortmund will win, no need to explain, it's that simple and straightforward!

That's right, Dortmund won one and drew two in the first three rounds and are now four points behind Aachen.

But you must know that Dortmund faced the capital team Hertha Berlin, Sanya King Bayer Leverkusen, and the championship powerhouse Stuttgart in the first three rounds!

Aachen, on the other hand, defeated Bayer Leverkusen, but the opponent in the other two games was the team that was relegated last season.

If you switch the opponents of the first three rounds against each other, Aachen is not to mention three consecutive wins, and without three consecutive defeats, he is a good performance!

In addition, it may be because the home jerseys of both sides are yellow and black colors, and the fans of both teams look at each other very unpleasantly.

Dortmund fans feel that Aachen should be attached to them in the same way that Siena is attached to Juventus, and Aachen fans also feel that Dortmund will not be able to make any waves at Aachen's home stadium.

However, when it came time to actually play, the fans were depressed to find that the two sides were quite unprovoked. Feeling.

Aachen, who played at home, did not show the slightest pride of the so-called "Bundesliga leader", and was in his own half or even his own penalty area after the kick-off.

No matter how provocative the Dortmund fans were, the Aachen players just didn't take it.

In midfield, Zhuo Cunzhi and Joao are like mascots, and they are invisible a lot of the time.

Zhuo Cunzhi is because he wants to save his physical strength, and Joao is because he is always running blindly because he doesn't stare at people.

Ribery and Cajas have become a pair of midfielders, helping Bernd disrupt the opponent's midfield.

Rosicky, Ricken, Kyle, Frings......

It has to be said that Dortmund's midfield configuration may be second only to Bayern in the Bundesliga.

Even, after Effenberg's retirement and before Ballack joined, Dort's midfield was slightly better than Bayern.

Zhuo Cunzhi looked at it, Rosicky's ability value was 98, Ricken's ability value was 88, Kyle's ability value was 97, and Frings's ability value was 96.

emmmmmm……

I have to say that although everyone ridiculed Dortmund for spending money indiscriminately, their vision was indeed good.

Three high-level players, can't be provoked!

It's still defensively reliable!
