"Okay, Marko, I just want you to know that it's not impossible for you to be the core player of the team, but you have to show the recognition of the fans and your teammates and our coaches, so that you can be the core player of the team, come on!" Klopp tapped Royce on the shoulder and turned back to his office.

"I'll show you well!" Royce looked at Klopp who was walking away with a firm gaze, and said silently.

October 4th will be a big day for Borussia Dortmund fans as they travel to Manchester City, one of the rising giants of European football.

Manchester City is one of the representative teams of this century's golden dollar football, their owner is a famous oil tycoon, not bad money at all, they spent a lot of money to introduce Europe's first-class stars and top coaches, although Manchester City's Champions League record last season was not good, but this season's Manchester City's strength is still not to be underestimated, no team dares to ignore Manchester City, then he is simply looking for death.

And in the first round of the group stage, lost to Real Madrid 2-3, Manchester City was definitely in a bad mood by Ronaldo, facing Ajax and Dortmund, Manchester City must be trying to get points from these two teams, so as to join hands with Real Madrid to reach the round of 16, if Dortmund himself is not careful, he may sink in the sand on Manchester City.

Manchester City host reigning Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund and will be hoping to win 15 games at home in Europe and avoid a two-game losing streak in the Champions League group stage.

As the defending champions of the Premier League this season, Manchester City is unbeaten in the domestic league this season, with 3 wins and 3 draws in the first 6 rounds, temporarily ranking fourth in the standings, 4 points behind the leader Chelsea; Eliminated by Aston Villa in extra-time in the third round of the League Cup; And in the most crucial Champions League. Manchester City lost 2-3 to La Liga giants Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in their first game.

If Roberto Mancini's side don't want to repeat last season's group stage exit, they will have to try to win at home to Borussia Dortmund, who were in a narrow one-goal home win over Ajax in their opening game, and should be satisfied with a one-goal home win over Manchester.

Although the best result in the Champions League in the last four seasons was the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 2008-09, the team's home record in Europe can be called excellent. Unbeaten in their last 15 matches, the last time they lost at home in Europe was on 28 August 2008, when they lost 1-0 away to Denmark's Midtjylland in the second round of qualifying for the UEFA Cup.

Both teams battled for their respective leagues at the weekend, with Manchester City coming from a one-goal deficit at Craven Cottage to rely on gold medal substitute Dzeko to make a comeback before the break. In the end, 2-1 was involved.

The team's two right-wingers, McCone and Richards, are both injured, and Argentine Zabaleta may play in a row, and he is very likely to be the main attack direction of Dortmund in this game. Dortmund, on the other hand, swept away arch-rival Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-0 at home with a clear retention, showing excellent competitive form, and Klopp's team was basically in order, only defender Owomoyela was unable to travel with the team due to a calf injury.

"Goal.com" has revealed that after missing out on De Rossi this summer. Roberto Mancini has now found his replacement and has spotted Juventus midfielder Vidal. In order to successfully bring in the Chilean international, Mancini even personally persuaded the Manchester City owner to ask for funds to bring in Vidal.

Although Mancini wants to get Vidal, Juventus will certainly not let go of this key player easily, so if Manchester City really want to sign Vidal, then they may have to spend a lot of money to complete the plan, which is why Mancini needs to persuade the Manchester City owner to see it himself.

"Mancini loves Vidal to death. He also spoke to his boss about Vidal. "A source familiar with the matter told Goal.com that Mancini has identified Vidal as a number one target." In the summer, they talked about joining Tevez or Dzeko in a transfer, but Juve's asking price was insane. ”

Vidal only joined Juventus from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, but in his first season in Serie A. He helped the 'Old Lady' win the Serie A title, and with his excellent performances in the "Bianconeri", Vidal even attracted the interest of Real Madrid, which means that once Vidal does enter the transfer market, then Manchester City will have to pay a higher price to sign the Chilean international. In addition, Manchester United are also rumored to be interested in Vidal.

Roberto Mancini has been chasing Roma's De Rossi this summer, and the 'Blue Moon' has been ready for £31 million to get the Italian midfielder, but in the end, De Rossi's reluctance to play in the Premier League led to Mancini's failure to get De Rossi, who later signed Javier Garcia to strengthen the midfield before the summer transfer market closed.

However, Mancini is clearly not satisfied with the current midfield configuration, and he still hopes to bring in Vidal to strengthen the position at the back, Vidal is a very goalscoring midfielder, he has scored twice in five appearances in Serie A and the Champions League this season, Mancini believes that the signing of Vidal will improve City's attacking and defensive capabilities.

After all, the importance of the midfield to the team is self-evident, the so-called "midfielder wins the world", Mancini has always been eager to join a strong midfielder, Yaya Toure is more willing to play the position of midfielder in the midfield, so the team's midfield problem has always been Mancini's henchman.

The two sides have never met in a European competition for the first time in history, and this is the first time the two teams have met in a main competition, and Manchester City have held a proud 15-game unbeaten run at home in Europe. Dzeko finally found his starting role today, with Silva, Nasri and Sergio Aguero behind him.

The midfield double midfielder is still Yaya Toure with Garcia; At the back, Klich and Zabaleta split the wings, while young centre-back Nastasic started for Lescott for the second consecutive Champions League game.

Dortmund fans can be said to be the first in Europe, and even in the world, many media have rated them as "the world's number one fan", Dortmund's home stadium Ignasiduna Stadium is also the team with the highest average attendance per game, in Dortmund, watching football through TV signals is a thing that people look down on.

Away to Manchester City, Dortmund got 2,600 tickets, and it was these more than 2,000 Dortmund diehards who followed the team to the away road that turned Manchester City's home stadium into the home of the Yellow and Black. (To be continued.) )
