On September 27, in the sixth round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Schalke 04 away, and the match between these two teams was also known as the "Ruhr derby", which was extremely hot, so this game could be predicted before the game, and it must be quite intense.

And in this match, Shen Peng can also meet Gorezka in the game - his "bronze partner" when he was in Bochum.

During this period, Gorezka also occasionally talked to Shen Peng, and Shen Peng also knew that Gorezka's current state in Schalke 04 was worse than when he was in Bochum, and he also knew what the reason was, but he just couldn't say it, so Shen Peng just persuaded him to practice with peace of mind every time and slowly run in with his teammates.

Fortunately, Schalke 04's manager Kohler has been very tolerant of Gorezka, and until now, Gorezka has also been a starter, including the previous Champions League game against Chelsea; And Gorezka's performance now is indeed much better than when he first went to Schalke 04.

At Schalke 04's home stadium, the Wildings Stadium, the fans on both sides were extremely enthusiastic, and although there were few fans in Dortmund, the voice was not small at all, which also made Shen Peng feel the magic of the word "derby".

The game was very intense, both sides were very active, but in this way, it gave Shen Peng and Aubameyang a lot of room to play, under his two rapid impacts, Schalke 04 was a little overwhelmed, even if it followed the home advantage, it could not save a defeat, and finally Dortmund defeated the opponent 3-1, won five consecutive league wins, and the goal difference reached 14, two points more than the second Bayern Munich, and the goal difference was five more.

Shen Peng also scored two goals in this game, once again opening up a gap with other competitors in the scorer list.

……

After the end of this league, Dortmund also ushered in the second game of the Champions League group stage, away to Anderlecht, for this Belgian first division team, Dortmund led in the overall strength, and finally slaughtered the opponent 5-0 away, and also successfully sat in the top position of the group in this group.

In this game, Shen Peng scored one goal and one assist, and has a total of three goals and one assist in the Champions League, tied for first place with Real Madrid's Ronaldo, and is expected to compete for the Champions League Golden Boot.

……

Back in the league, in the seventh round of the Bundesliga on October 4, Borussia Dortmund hosted Hamburg.

Hamburg were bottom of the league with two draws and four defeats before this game, and were deep in the relegation zone, so they thought it would be another big slaughter, but the final result was somewhat unexpected, and the two sides were tied 2-2 in 90 minutes.

But many people understand this, because since the third round of the Bundesliga on September 13, Dortmund vs. Freiburg, a total of 17 days have passed until today, but a total of seven games have been played, including an away game to Belgium, which has made the players a little tired.

Although Klopp has tried his best to rotate the players in the midfield, in order to maintain the current offensive intensity of the team, Shen Peng and Aubameyang on the front line have not been rotated.

Shen Peng was in good physical condition and barely persevered, but Aubameyang was a little unbearable, and the game was replaced in the second half due to cramps.

Borussia Dortmund led 1-0 in the first half, but after Aubameyang came off the pitch, the pressure on the Hamburg back line was light, and the players attacked like crazy, and finally scored a goal each in the 62nd and 77th minutes to put the score in the lead.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Shen Peng found an opportunity to equalize the score with a thunder beast shot, allowing Dortmund to remain undefeated.

Even so, Borussia Dortmund are level on points with Bayern Munich in the standings, and Bayern Munich won 4-0 against Hannover 96 in this game, so the difference in goal difference between the two teams is only one point, and every goal they score in every game now could even determine the ranking of the two teams.

After this game, Dortmund's next game is thirteen days later, on October 18, so the players can finally get a good rest.

The club gave the players a few days off, but the coaching staff did not treat them so well, and Klopp and others still studied the team's lineup together.

"Although we look very attacking now, we still rely too much on the performance of Shen Peng and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, once one of them is not there, the speed impact formed by the two of them is gone, and the opponent can defend much easier. Just like the last game, in the second half, without Aubameyang, the opponent can boldly attack as long as he defends Shen Peng, although the other players are also very threatening, but they are not in the front position, and secondly, they can't crush the opponent's defenders at speed, and there is no mortal threat. ”

"That's the truth, but this year's introduction of Shen Peng has spent too much budget, and there are no more forwards with enough strength to be introduced, and now only the two of them can be used in the frontcourt."

"I really don't know how Bochum played so well last season, except for Shen Peng, the players in them look quite average."

"Football this thing, in addition to individual strength, a person's fighting spirit, plus teamwork is also essential, last season Bochum, although everyone's strength is not very strong, but they are playing with Shen Peng as the center, plus everyone in their team is very eager for the Bundesliga championship, so full of fighting spirit - this can be seen from their game, after the opening stage of the league, their results are okay, everyone sees the hope of winning the championship, so every game in the back is a very serious game, That's what made them successful in the end. ”

"I agree, although there were a few games between them because of the results of a little underdog, but they all adjusted quickly, so they have the results behind them."

"They've been much worse this season, and now they've won seven games in the league and they've won two, drawn three and lost two, ranking ninth in the league, which is much worse than the same period last season."

"If only we could find a top striker, preferably on the left wing, then we could form a front trident like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale at Real Madrid!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet, and now the team has a few substitute strikers in addition to Shen Peng, and Aubameyang himself is also a midfielder.

"I remember, did we sign a young striker this summer?" At this time, one of them suddenly asked.
