Chapter 117: Robben Wants to Leave (Fourth Watch)
From the standings, Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen and Hannover constitute the "second group" for Europa League qualification.
On the road, facing Cologne, who lacked the number one star Podolski, the pharmaceutical factory controlled the tempo of the game, and the youngster Lars Bender, who has been selected for the German team's squad, was full of spirit and scored two goals to help the team overcome the opponent, so that the points reached 37 points, surpassing Bremen by one point and rising to fifth place.
Bremen suffered a "Waterloo" at home, in front of Nuremberg, their attacking power could not be exerted, but was only 21-year-old Esvein sneak attack, only to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.
In the league, Dort has won 7 consecutive victories, averaging nearly 3 goals per game, and such an astonishing form also makes it difficult for competitors to approach quickly.
With full commitment to the league, they have made it more and more uncomfortable for Bayern and Schalke 04, who are fighting on two fronts.
Borussia Dortmund continue to lead the Bundesliga standings by four points while winning seven consecutive league games.
Borussia Dortmund had another piece of good news after the game, as their midfielder Gotze was also on the verge of returning from injury.
The 19-year-old Germany international became a regular for Borussia Dortmund last season and has developed into the heart of the team's attack this season after the departure of Shahin.
However, he was previously absent for a long time due to pubic inflammation, which had a big impact on Dortmund's line-up.
However, Gotze said in an interview with Dortmund's official website on the 26th: "I am very happy that my injury has recovered smoothly and my inflammation has subsided. ”
According to Götze's attending doctor, Dr. Wolfatt, Götze is expected to fully recover from his injury and return to training within two weeks.
Götze's comeback is undoubtedly excellent news for Klopp, his dual-core tactics can finally be used again, and Guan Peng no longer has to be strictly guarded by the opponent.
In addition, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hamburg drew 1-1, although Reuss did not score in this game but still assisted his teammate Hank's header, Reuss is also very good, in the Bundesliga is also 12 goals and six attacks, it can be said that the current Reuss is the biggest obstacle for Guan Peng to compete for the best player in the Bundesliga this season.
In the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund defeated Mainz 2-1 away thanks to goals from Blaszczykowski and Grosskloitz.
He extended his winning streak to eight and continued to maintain the lead over Bayern Munich to a seventeen-game unbeaten streak.
At the same time, the three teams that have been threatening Dortmund, Schalke 04, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich have all lost.
Starting this weekend, Bayern will enter a devilish schedule of 6 games in 21 days, with an average of one game every three and a half days, including several high-intensity league games and decisive matches such as the Champions League and the German Cup.
Six games in the next 21 days may determine Bayern's final win this season, and Bayern coach Heynckes is also in danger of being sacked.
The first leg of Bayern's devil's schedule is this weekend's away challenge to Bayer Leverkusen, but before the big game, Bayern have suffered from the FIFA virus.
A number of Bayern players played in the national team in midweek and were also injured.
Franck Ribery suffered a bruise on his thigh during the game and may not be available for this round.
In addition, Muller, Bard and Boateng have all suffered minor injuries and will not be fit even when they play at the weekend.
This is undoubtedly a big blow to Bayern, Bayern's original lineup is not thick, once these four big players are out, it is really unaffordable.
As a result, Bayern Munich lost away to Bayer Leverkusen, and the gap between them and Borussia Dortmund reached seven points.
In the friendly match between the Netherlands and England in midweek, "Peter Pan" Robben was unstoppable, scoring two goals alone, especially the winning goal in stoppage time.
However, his goalscoring luck seemed to run out in the national team, and back in the Bundesliga, against Bayer Leverkusen, he did his best but lacked efficiency and could only watch his side lose 2-0 away.
Back then, when he was in the Eredivisie, the Premier League and La Liga, Robben was not known for scoring goals, scoring only 12 goals at most in a single season, and he was still in the Eredivisie, where the defensive level was weak.
In the 2009-2010 season, he scored 16 goals in 24 Bundesliga games, and last season, he played only 14 Bundesliga games due to injury, but he scored 12 goals.
At critical moments, it is not uncommon for Robben to save Bayern with an almost inexplicable inward shot, especially in the 09-10 Champions League knockout round, his goals against Fiorentina and Manchester United can be called "life-saving goals".
However, Robben's shooting sensation has gradually lost this season amid injuries, with just five goals in his 15 Bundesliga games so far.
After scoring against Wolfsburg in the 19th round, he has not scored in five consecutive rounds, and as a superstar in the team, he did not get enough help from Bayern at the lowest point, no wonder he has been under more and more criticism recently, and he has also lost his initial "king halo" in Munich.
Arjen Robben enjoyed three successful seasons in the Premier League and helped Chelsea to two Premier League titles, but this season he has been in a slump with Bayern Munich and has been criticised for being too aloof and unsociable.
After returning to London and scoring twice at Wembley to help the Netherlands beat England, Robben regained a rare feeling of happiness and hinted that he would consider leaving Bayern Munich this summer: "My situation in Germany is not ideal, I am now thinking about all possible options. ”
The 28-year-old has only one year left on his contract with Bayern, which the Mirror notes means it only takes £10 million to take the Peter Pan away, with former clubs Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all interested in him.
Robben is still good friends with a number of Chelsea players, including John Terry, Frank Lampard and Petr Cech, with Robben saying: 'It's great to play at Wembley and to see a lot of people I know, since the World Cup was over, it's only my second international game and it's a great feeling to play at Wembley in London. ”
Arjen Robben hinted he needed to leave Bayern this summer: "I can try to be a little bit stronger against everything at Bayern Munich and make sure it doesn't affect me, but of course that's a bit unsettling for me, I just need this game against England and I'm very happy to be playing my best again. ”
