As of the 11th round, Bayern Munich have only lost one game, reaching 30 points.

Dortmund, on the other hand, was in poor form for a period of time, resulting in two losses and two draws, resulting in only 23 points now, half a season has not ended, and there is already a 7-point gap with Bayern Munich.

For this situation, Dortmund's senior management, and even Klopp have discussed, they feel that the focus of this year's game can be put on the Champions League, and the domestic league as long as it can maintain the second place is enough, after all, this year's Bayern momentum is too strong, it is really difficult to catch up.

Although the whole team is full of confidence, they must also recognize the reality.

Since the focus is on the Champions League, then the league can be adjusted appropriately, so in the 12th round of the Bundesliga against the weak team Fürth, Lin Yu, Gotze, and Reus were all hidden, even so, Dortmund won 3:1 at home.

However, to the surprise of many, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich overturned in the gutter in this round of matches and were held to a 1-1 draw away by Nuremberg.

In this way, Dortmund chased two more points, bringing the difference between the two teams closer to five points.

The two teams have not played each other this season, and according to the previous meeting results, Dortmund still has an advantage, so the enthusiasm for winning the league that has been extinguished is burning again at this time.

But that doesn't affect the Champions League.

Five days after the twelfth round of the league, the Champions League group stage ushered in the fifth round of matchups, this time Dortmund will travel to the Netherlands to face Ajax away.

In order to ensure the first place in the group, Klopp did his best, and all the front four started to leave a hearty victory at Ajax's home stadium.

And the result was as expected, Dortmund beat Ajax 4-1 away, this game Reuss and Gotze each scored a goal, Lewandowski scored twice, Lin Yu did not score.

But after the game, no reporter questioned Lin Yu's performance, because on the field, Lin Yu not only contained many Ajax defenders, but also contributed two assists, which is definitely a satisfactory answer for a midfielder, not only the media can't find fault, but the club's senior management is also very satisfied.

It's just that Lin Yu himself is not very satisfied, he is eager to score, and only scoring goals can quench his thirst.

After this game, Dortmund has advanced in advance, although Lin Yu also scored when Dortmund played Real Madrid away in the last round of the Champions League group stage, but because it was only a draw, the media did not report much, but took the domestic league winning streak as the key news.

So far, Lin Yu has scored 5 goals in the Champions League, which is probably a number that many strikers will not reach in their lifetime, but he has only done it in his first year in the Champions League, and most importantly, Dortmund has advanced ahead of schedule, and the road ahead continues.

As long as Dortmund is still on the Champions League road, Lin Yu has a chance to continue to refresh his goalscoring path.

After qualifying for the Champions League, the team's attention has once again shifted to the domestic league, and as for the final game against Manchester City in the Champions League group stage, of course, it will not give up, but it is not as nervous as before.

At this stage of the game, the positions of each team in the league have basically been determined, Bayern Munich is in first place, Dortmund is close behind, and Bayer Leverkusen is also biting hard.

In order to catch up with Bayern, Klopp has been putting the main team together to ensure that he can win the game.

In the thirteenth round of the game against Mainz, Lin Yu scored twice away to help the team win 2:1, at this time it can be seen that the team's physical strength is wrong, except for Lin Yu and a very small number of players who can still maintain strong physical strength, most of the players are starting to be a little unable to play.

It's just that it's helpless, Dortmund's bench thickness is really not enough, even if he knows that there is a problem with his physical strength, Klopp doesn't have many cards to play.

In the 14th round, Dortmund hosted the little-known Fortuna Dusseldorf, and the result was a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes.

It wasn't until stoppage time that Lin Yu's ultra-long-distance heavy artillery opened the door of Fortuna Dusseldorf again, scoring the winning goal, which also allowed Dortmund to barely keep up with Bayern's pace and not widen the difference again.

By the end of this round of matches, Lin Yu had scored eight goals for Dortmund in the league, in addition to several assists, such a result, for a player who has just embarked on a professional path, it is not as simple as passing, even if it is perfect.

What's even more pleasing is that most of Lin Yu's goals are precious goals in the snow, and there are few icing on the cake and insignificant goals, which shows that Lin Yu played a crucial role in Dortmund's victory.

The top management of the Dortmund club, who was originally worried that the contract would be lost, has now begun to steal fun, such an efficient player, with an annual salary of one million, is difficult to find with a lantern.

However, after the end of the 14th round of the game, Dortmund's players did not have the slightest sense of joy, this game was played very hard, relying on Lin Yu's god to lock the victory, although it is worth being happy, but it also clearly exposes the problem of this team, that is, the bench thickness is too poor, and in the case of third-line combat, it cannot be compared with Bayern Munich at all.

There is a joke in the market that even if Bayern Munich's bench players form a team, they can definitely achieve very good results in the league, although this is a joke, but it is actually very true, in fact, Bayern Munich has made a lot of efforts to buy players this season, just to be able to cope with the third-line battle.

Dort can't compete with Bayern, Dort's finances are a big problem in the first place, so they can only rely on the perseverance and hard work of the players.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Klopp: "In the next round of the game, Dortmund will play away to Bayern Munich, who has been in excellent form this season, are you confident of winning this game?" ”

Jurgen Klopp replied cautiously: "We have good players and good tactical thinking, but there are a lot of unpredictable things in football, I can only say that you can try to win the game, but whether you can win or not depends on luck." ”

In fact, Klopp also has a hard time saying this, if he is given a physical Dortmund, he will definitely claim that there is no problem in winning Bayern Munich, but now, he really does not have so much confidence.

Away challenge Bayern, will become a turning point in the Dortmund league this season, if you win, then the gap with Bayern will be narrowed to two points, and the gap of two points, it is really easy to catch up, the most important thing is that once this game wins, Dortmund's morale will be greatly improved, which is crucial for the team's future games.

Unlike Klopp's cautiousness, Lin Yu does not like this pessimistic mood, and when the reporter interviewed him, he boldly declared: "We are not afraid of Bayern Munich, we are going to the Allianz Arena to get three points!" ”

In response to Lin Yu's words, Bayern coach Heynckes responded with a smile: "Young people, always a little arrogant, but we will teach him how to play football!" ”

Heynckes' words were relatively gentle, but Bayern owner Rummenigge was not so polite, he sneered and said: "I hope that kid doesn't cry when he is kicked at the Allianz Arena!" ”
