Losing to Barcelona may not be a problem, but to everyone's surprise, in the 29th round of the league, against Hoffenheim, Dortmund, who completely suppressed the opponent in the first half, was forced to draw 2-2 by the opponent.

Borussia Dortmund seemed to be trying to keep the ball in midfield a lot, but unfortunately the quality of possession was not very high.

Kyle, whose performance has been praised so far this season, was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

Many people speculate that it was the pressure brought by Barcelona that made the mentality of Kyle, who had just suffered his first defeat since taking over the team, collapse directly.

Indeed, since Kyle took charge of Dortmund, it seems that everything has gone a little too smoothly, maybe that's it?

Except for those who have this idea of watching the joke, everyone else is staring at Bayern Munich.

Because this round of Bayern matches is played behind Dortmund, Guardiola has a great opportunity at the moment.

As long as they can win, they can extend the gap to five points, so that the Bundesliga's already confusing situation may suddenly become clear.

But there are many times when fate likes to play tricks on those who think they know him well.

Just when people were waiting to see Guardiola, who never dropped the chain, completely broke Kyle, Guardiola also seemed to have a problem. In their home game against Schalke 04, they also suffered a draw.

As soon as this result came out, there were actually many people who were more devastated than Kyle.

Whether it's Bayern fans, or Schalke 04 fans.

After all, as a sworn enemy of the Ruhr area, Schalke 04 does not want to help Dortmund stop Bayern Munich at all.

But in this game, I can't lose easily, and Bayern actually consumed a lot of vitality in the match with Atletico Madrid, so all the factors combined became such an ending in the end.

For Bayern Munich, it may be Schalke 04 who played a big joke with them.

But for Borussia Dortmund, who are not in great form at the moment, this opponent's draw can only be said to be like a divine help.

After the game, Pep Guardiola, who was on the scene, looked up and stared blankly at the scoreboard marked 1-1 on the field.

And this photo has also become a very classic memento of Guardiola at Bayern Munich, although it is not sweet.

The Dortmund players were still coming together to watch the game, but this time not in the media room at the base, but in a very private bar.

Lin Yi sent out beer, and greeted everyone warmly, "Drink as much as you want, drink more, it's all mine." ”

Royce came to Lin Yi's side with a bottle, "You kid can, when did you get it?" I don't even know. ”

Lin Yi shook his head, "I don't know, Arthur got it for me, this kid has been cheating me for a year, and he finally started to do personnel." ”

"Pit you? Why do you always say he cheated on you? "Royce actually didn't know about the grievances between Lin Yi and his agent.

"It's very simple, he is my dad's subordinate, he wants to force me to be unable to mix in Europe, and then go home to take over, and then maybe my parents figured it out, so they don't force me, and then he starts to do normal things, probably that's it."

Royce was speechless about Lin Yi's explanation, but these were not important.

He's playing with us anyway, and when we draw, the opponent draws, so what's more fun than that?

If Lin Yi hears this, Lin Yi will definitely answer him, and what is even cooler is that the Champions League can be reversed and promoted.

Kyle, who was sitting on the sidelines, was silent at the moment, gulping down his beer.

Lin Yi and Royce both understood that the reason why Kyle was like this was entirely because he had put too much pressure on himself.

"Actually, it looks like we're really lucky."

"Of course. Schalke 04 actually drew with Bayern Munich at home, and I didn't dare to think that this kind of thing would happen. ”

"Bayern isn't that strong, right?"

"But neither does Schalke." Lin Yi replied very wittily.

"But it's precisely this that shows that we are lucky."

The televised game was over, and Kyle, who had put down his glass, stood up.

"Alright. I took it away, rested tomorrow, and resumed training the day after tomorrow. Since God has given us opportunities, we must cherish them. ”

"Did he think Guardiola was God?" Lin Yi lowered his voice and joked with Royce.

"Anyway, it won't be Schalke 04."

"You two! Don't mumble there, if you're late for training the day after tomorrow, you'll run 20 laps more. Kyle tossed a cork over and turned to leave the tavern.

Pep Guardiola sat on the interview bench with mixed feelings, originally he was still thinking that his last season in the Bundesliga would be able to win a title as a commemoration anyway.

Who would have thought that the German Cup was unexpectedly lost to RB Leipzig, and at the most critical moment, Dortmund's sworn enemies actually did Dortmund such a big favor.

In fact, many things on the court are not as easy as one plus one, and there are many things that cannot be seen or touched, but they can affect the game.

"Will the unexpected draw have any impact on your layout this season?"

"I don't think so, after all, this draw didn't have any serious consequences."

"Are you talking about serious consequences of being chased by Borussia Dortmund in the standings?"

"That's right. Borussia Dortmund are the closest team to us right now and under Sebastian they have been very good and have created a great threat for us. If it weren't for the opponents, I would have wished Sebastian such a good debut season as a manager. ”

"So, you have a good personal training with Coach Kyle?"

"Of course, not every pair of opponents will extend the grievances on the court to the court, and if I can, I would like to be good friends with any of my opponents, because we are the same kind of people."

"Are you referring to Mourinho?" Suddenly, a troublesome reporter stood up and immediately took the topic even more crookedly.

"Of course not, we've been friends for a long time, when I was a player, don't you remember?"

Journalists can't do much about Guardiola's perfunctory behavior, after all, it's not a game-related issue.

But when it comes to game-related questions, they don't seem to be able to ask anything, why Lewandowski's three-legged solo shot was bravely blocked by the Schalke goalkeeper? Or ask why a game hits a six-legged post?

In this game, anyone who has watched the whole game will probably make the same evaluation.

"Bad luck."

Pep Guardiola's side dominated the game and there were no tactical mistakes.

But the outrageous luck seems to make any tactics seem so pale and weak, so ...... It's a draw.

To be reasonable, if Lewandowski hadn't scored the penalty he made, Guardiola probably wouldn't have been sitting here for an interview.

At the end of the press conference, a reporter said something to Guardiola with some deep meaning.

"The season has come to this point, so I wish you the best of luck in the future."

Pep Guardiola smiled at him, "Thank you, I think I need some luck right now." ”

For Atletico Madrid's Champions League, in fact, the pressure on Guardiola is not great, don't forget that he came out of La Liga before, and when he was in Barcelona, he also maintained a super high win rate against Atletico Madrid.

Not to mention the fact that at the Allianz Arena, his team had already beaten Simeone's team a 3-0.

To say that they have already stepped into the last four of the Champions League with one foot is not an exaggeration.

But what about after reaching the last four of the Champions League? Whether it is Dortmund, who may face him, or Barcelona, who now seem to have a better chance of encountering, it is not what Guardiola wants to encounter.

Barcelona won the title of the five major leagues last season, including a drop of Bayern's blood.

As for Borussia Dortmund, Guardiola finds himself now increasingly unable to think of a way to deal with Lin Yi.

While Guardiola is distressed here, Kyle, who has returned home alone, is frantically entangled.

He wanted to make a bold decision, but he didn't know if his team could afford it.

In the end, Kyle gritted his teeth and did it, if it was three years ago, I would definitely not dare to do this, but now is not three years ago, we have Lin Yi, but you no longer have Harvey and Iniesta who is at the peak.

Lin Yi didn't drink too much, but he still sat in the passenger seat with great love for his life.

Eva, who was driving the car, turned her head to look at Lin Yi and found that although Lin Yi was smiling at herself, there was a tiredness in her smile that could not be concealed.

Eva held one of Lin Yi's hands, "Aren't you tired?" ”

"Yes."

Eva was stunned, she thought that Lin Yi would deny it without hesitation as before, and then patted her head with a smile.

"But even if you are so tired, at this time, you can only grit your teeth."

"Actually, after a season, sometimes it's like a wait. This kind of waiting does not necessarily wait for an outcome, but everyone thinks that the longer they wait, the closer they will get to that outcome. I can see through this, but I'm still deceiving myself. ”

Eva listened to Lin Yi speak like a tongue twister for a long time, and finally she just said calmly, "Well, I support you." ”

Lin Yi smiled, "I know. ”

Eva didn't ask Lin Yi how he knew, so she drove into the night.

Lin Yi no longer practiced on his rest day now, because he really couldn't stand it.

In Eva's words, combining work and rest is also one of the ways to train. And when there are some bottlenecks, the improvement is even greater.

So on the day off, Lin Yi slept until noon.

By this time of the season, the players were already tired, and even Royce, who used to go out and toss around on his days off, was now honestly staying at home.

In recent days, Lin Yi has turned off all the relevant sports software on his mobile phone, because he really doesn't want to see those nonsense about their team.

Although the league is still three points apart, many people are already singing condolences to Dortmund.

In their opinion, Dort could not have won more than one German Cup title this season.

Even worse, he wrote a lengthy analysis in a matter-of-fact manner.

"The Process of Kyle's Psychological Breakdown: See How Dortmund Came to Nothing. 》

It's not that Lin Yi is worried about what will happen to him when he sees these things, it's just that he is afraid that he will laugh so much that it will affect his body.

But Kyle's attitude is completely different from Lin Yi, he is very idle to do a lot of newspaper clippings, and sort out those arguments that the media think are very spicy, and circulate them to the players.

Lin Yi was the first to take one as the captain, and after seeing the content, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Kyle.

"What? Sebastian, do you think we're under too much pressure and need to watch some jokes to relax? ”

"If you think it works, then I won't refuse you."

When everyone had seen it, Kyle took it, lit it with a lighter, and burned it.

Lin Yi turned his head to look at the camera, "Sebastian, if Michelle sees it, he will deduct your money." ”

Kyle also smiled at Lin, "At first glance, you are a newcomer, and your mastery of camera blind spots and blind spots is far worse than mine." ”

"Okay, I've seen it all, but what I actually want to tell you is that it doesn't matter what they say, because we do it ourselves. So, whether my mentality has exploded or not, the team will not get anything from time to time, and we have to show them. I won't say anything else. Everyone knows the results of the last round of the league, but we don't have God's help. With Pep Guardiola's brilliant draw, we can't end the season as they thought. Okay, start training, in this game, Lin Yi played the front midfield, let's change the formation. ”

Speaking of which, Kyle couldn't help but feel extremely glad.

They brought in two players during the winter break, not to mention Ousmane Dembele, and Rennes' team itself cannot play any European competitions. But the luckiest thing is Baltra, when Barcelona reported the Champions League squad, Bartra was injured for a long time, and just in case, Barcelona did not report him. In fact, when he bought Baltra, Kyle even forgot to observe this. But after arriving at the team, he realized that in the Champions League, he had another experienced strong player at the back.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but sigh again, my current situation is really a bit like divine help.

"Next game, Osman, you start, replace Pierre on the right, Pierre you play as a central striker. We can't just sit still, so in the next game, we're going to fight Barcelona for the ball, around Lin, to play passing, to look for opportunities. ”
