May 30, 7 p.m., Olympic Stadium Berlin, German Cup final, Borussia Dortmund vs. Wolfsburg.

Despite being a neutral stadium, Dortmund were drawn at home, so they wore the familiar yellow jersey.

This is the fifth time Shen Peng has been to the stadium, two of the first four were away to Hertha Berlin in the league, and the other two were the first two German Cup finals he participated in.

Although he has played in the final of the German Cup for the third time, he has yet to win the German Cup, which is a small regret and he is here today to make up for it.

However, Wolfsburg has been very strong this season, and is the only team to beat Borussia Dortmund in the league, so Klopp did not dare to underestimate it, and the whole team also did targeted training before the game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also started this game, and Klopp asked him to find a feeling of working with Shen Peng and Mbappe.

After the start of the game, something happened that Klopp did not expect: the Wolfsburg players played fiercely and moved a lot in the game.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but if they did it too hard, they just waited for a red card and they didn't want to win the game.

But now it's different, because Borussia Dortmund will play Barcelona in the Champions League in a week, and the venue happens to be the Olympic Stadium in Berlin!

If Dortmund has a main player accidentally injured in this game, then he will definitely miss the Champions League final!

Neither the players nor the coach want that to happen.

For players, missing the Champions League final would be a big shame in life, although the Champions League is held every year, but apart from the top teams, how many teams have a chance to reach the Champions League final? Throughout Dortmund's entire history, it is only the third time that they have reached the Champions League final, so no player wants to miss this game.

For Klopp, now this lineup is the strongest squad of Dortmund, if one or two of them are missing, the combat effectiveness will definitely decline, if you miss the Champions League, then whether it is Klopp, or these players, there is one less top honor in the football world second only to the World Cup champion!

Even, some people now think that the competitive level of the Champions League final has surpassed the World Cup final, just because the World Cup is once every four years and the Champions League is once a year, so it seems that the Champions League is a little lower!

In this way, Dortmund's side, whether it is the coach or the players, are a little timid, Wolfsburg is up for the German Cup title this year, and they are not afraid of hard work at all.

Although he understood the other party's plan, Klopp was a little helpless, this is an unsolvable "conspiracy": if you want to win the German Cup, you must be prepared to lose the main force in the Champions League; If they want to go all out in the Champions League, this German Cup winner is equivalent to giving them up.

At this time, Klopp hoped that in the other semi-final of the German Cup, Bielefeld would defeat Wolfsburg, and if the current opponent was the "German team", even if they used the same tactics, Dortmund would not be afraid and could completely avoid physical confrontation and defeat the opponent.

But now, the opponent is Wolfsburg, an opponent that Dortmund will have to give almost all their best to win, and if Dortmund are tied up any longer, then all that awaits them is a loss.

Wolfsburg manager Heijin smiled smugly when he saw that his team had the advantage on the field, and sure enough, everything was as he expected, Dortmund are aiming for the Champions League this year, and they will definitely do their best to deal with Barcelona.

Now he is a little grateful to Real Madrid in his heart, if in the Champions League, Real Madrid eliminated Dortmund, then Borussia Dortmund will definitely go all out to play this German Cup final, with the current strength of Dortmund, they will be really difficult to play.

"Jurgen Klopp, if you want to compete for the St. Bride Cup, then give us this German Cup." Black and gold looked at Klopp across the pitch and muttered to himself smugly.

Klopp was holding his chin in one hand at this time, frowning and pondering, he was thinking about whether to strategically abandon this German Cup, after all, Wolfsburg looked like they were bound to win this game.

If you give up this game and win the Champions League, then everything is good; But if you give up this game and lose the Champions League again, there will be only one Bundesliga champion this year, and the double "runners-up" of the Champions League and the German Cup will also be talked about.

Just as he was thinking, Wolfsburg scored first.

It was Gustavo who scored the goal, receiving a pass from a team-mate in front of the box and rolling a hidden bocce ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

In fact, a large part of this goal is related to Wolfsburg's tactics, it is their ferocious scramble in the midfield to find opportunities, and then instigate the attack in the front, if the midfielders on Dortmund's side are a little more "hard", this goal will not be conceded.

Sighing, the Champions League final may be more common for teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, but for him, for Dortmund, it is a rare opportunity, so he decided to give up this German Cup, he doesn't want Aubameyang to be injured again.

The depth of Dortmund's squad at the moment has allowed them to achieve these results this season, and the dream of a treble is indeed good, but how many trebles are there in history? Winning the Champions League and league double is already a remarkable achievement, and Dortmund may not have the means to win the treble yet.

Thinking of this, he had to tell his players to protect themselves - which meant that he had strategically given up on the game.

However, as soon as he came to the sidelines, he found that Shen Peng was waving his hands at this time, clapping his hands and signaling to his teammates, as if he was ...... Are you encouraging your teammates?

Shen Peng also saw the situation in this game, so he signaled his teammates to cheer up and not be suppressed by the opponent.

After Klopp saw this scene, his heart was slightly touched, and he stood on the sidelines, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

Admittedly, the Champions League is indeed important, but is it worth it to lose a heart to compete for the title for the sake of the Champions League?

Only those who strive to win every game, no matter what difficulties they encounter, deserve to win the championship.

It's not impossible to strategically give up some games, for example, they won the league championship in advance, and the last two rounds can be used for training, but if they have to give up even the current final, then when it comes to the Champions League final, what will they compete with their opponents?

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted at the players on the sidelines: "Be serious for me!" Let me see who doesn't contribute again, and I don't have to play in the Champions League final! ”
