A day after Borussia Dortmund's 2-0 home win over Schalke 04, Bayer Leverkusen travelled to Nuremberg. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bayer Leverkusen suffered a somewhat surprising defeat to their opponents in this game, and as a result, they missed a golden opportunity to catch up with Borussia Dortmund. Now the gap between the two teams has widened to six points.

This is good news for Borussia Dortmund as the Champions League knockout rounds are soon to come and Dortmund need a lead in the league to allow them to focus on the Champions League for the time being.

Meanwhile, after the defeat to Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04 FC announced Magath's dismissal.

The club's chairman, Tonys, explained to reporters: "From the club's point of view, there are good reasons for this breakup, but we won't make it public, and I think it's a good result for Schalke. ”

Although he said that he would not disclose the reason, fools know that it must be because of the poor record, especially the Ruhr derby defeat to Dortmund, which became the last straw that crushed Magath.

Magath came to Schalke 04 after winning the league title at VfL Wolfsburg, when he received the highest annual salary of 5.4 million euros in the Bundesliga, but did not reach the heights that people had hoped for.

However, although Schalke 04 Club announced Magath's resignation, it did not announce who his successor would be.

There is currently media speculation that Rangnick, who left Hoffenheim this season, could be Magath's successor at Schalke 04.

was really said by Zhou Yi, and within a week, Magath resigned.

So is this a good thing for Yang Muge?

Then no one can know......

In the 22nd round of the league, the last league game before the start of the Champions League quarter-finals, Dortmund challenged Kaiserslautern away from home.

It was clear that the whole squad was affected by the preparations for the Champions League quarter-finals, and not only did Jurgen Klopp rotate but the players on the pitch also looked a little absent-minded.

As a result, they were held to a 1-1 draw away from Kaiserslautern.

Zhou Yi didn't play at all in this game.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 away and regained their grip on Borussia Dortmund, just four points separating them from Borussia Dortmund.

However, Dortmund had no choice but to do so, because the opponent they had to face in the quarterfinals was not easy to deal with, it was the giants of the Champions League - AC Milan!

Jurgen Klopp certainly doesn't want his side to be knocked out of the tournament just after reaching the knockout stages. So he values this game so much that he's willing to sacrifice the league.

Then again, isn't building that big of a lead in the league just about creating some wiggle room for the team in the Champions League?

Trading the points advantage of the league for results in the Champions League is Klopp's idea. This guarantees both the league results and the Champions League results. It's not like Schalke 04, who reached the knockout rounds in the Champions League and finished outside the top 10 in the league, only to have the manager sacked......

In fact, AC Milan's performance in the group stage of this season's Champions League is not good, with two wins, two draws and two losses in six group games, scoring only seven goals, accumulating eight points, and ranking second in the group. Just one point more than Ajax, who finished third in the group.

But Klopp still doesn't dare to take it lightly.

Because the group stage and the knockout stage are two completely different worlds, playing well in the group stage does not mean that the knockout stage is also good, and playing well in the group stage does not mean that the knockout stage is necessarily bad. It's always a good idea to be cautious, especially for a team like Borussia Dortmund who haven't played in the knockout stages of the Champions League for years......

Speaking of which, how many years has it been since Borussia Dortmund played in the knockout rounds of the Champions League?

I'm afraid even Klopp doesn't know this very well, because it's been so long......

In fact, since Borussia Dortmund won the Champions League in 1997, they have only reached the knockout stages of the Champions League in the following 1997-1998 season, when they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League but were knocked out by Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Real Madrid, who eliminated them, eventually defeated Juventus and lifted the Champions League.

Since then, Borussia Dortmund have not been able to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.

In the 2002-2003 season, Dortmund made it past the first round of the group stage, but at that time there were two rounds of the Champions League group stage, and they finished third in the second round of the group stage and failed to reach the real knockout stage.

So now, Duo Jie has not played in the knockout round of the Champions League for 13 years.

They have absolutely no experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Klopp can't be careless.

What's more, in the quarterfinals of the first leg, as the group leader, Dortmund will go to challenge AC Milan away.

The San Siro stadium is unlikely to be too friendly to Dortmund in terms of its atmosphere and turf......

Because of the preparation for this game, Dortmund arrived in Milan two days early.

Because of this, he was able to meet Guo Nu.

Among the four friends, he had only seen Yang Muge in Europe, and Guo Nu was the second person he had seen.

At the beginning, when Guo Nu took the initiative to invite Zhou Yi to come out for a gathering in the group, Zhou Yi still didn't go: "Don't go!" I'm afraid you will beat me, I can't beat you!"

"Damn, why should I hit you?"

"Because I won Inter!"

“...... Damn, you don't want the heart of a villain!" Guo was speechless.

Jokes are jokes, and in the end, Zhou Yi still came out to have dinner with Guo Nu.

Compared with when everyone met in the reality show before, Guo Nu was much more lively and cheerful than at that time, but compared with the group, he talked a lot less.

Zhou Yi understands this very well, because the group chat is typed and will not stutter......

The changes that occurred in Guo Nu's body also made Zhou Yi very curious, he stared at the top of Guo Nu's head for a long time and said, "Old Guo, you should use less nod balls, you see that the hair on the top of your head is getting less and less......"

"Damn!" Guo said angrily, "I, I...... It's a centre-back, no, how can you mix it without heading?"

Zhou Yi smiled.

In addition to the loss of hair, Guo Nu's height has increased slightly, but it is still not high, at least Zhou Yi can now be at eye level with Guo Nu. It's stronger, and under the clothes that aren't tights, the contours of the muscles are looming.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but go up and pinch it with his hand: "It's so hard!"

"You, you're a man...... Can...... Don't say this or this word to me!" Guo shuddered angrily, and goosebumps appeared on his arm that had been pinched by Zhou Yi.

"Lao Guo, your thoughts are so dirty!"

"Phew, phew!"

Although Guo Nu is not tall, only 1.78 meters. But that didn't stop him from playing as a regular centre-back for Inter Milan's youth team.

His physical prowess made up for his lack of height, while his ferocious defensive style, combined with the defensive awareness and technique he learned in Italy, made him the "Great Wall of China" for Inter Milan's youth team.

"This, this is the nickname given to me by the local media in Milan, how, how?"

"The Great Wall, which is less than one meter and eight meters high, doesn't seem to be able to stop the southern invasion of the Huns?" Zhou Yi said with a frown.

"Get out!" Guo Nu knew that Zhou Yi was hacking him again.

But he soon grinned, "I'm not stammering!"

He didn't care much about talking about his stuttering anymore, it was supposed to be a physical defect for him, but he could already take it lightly.

It is because of the person in front of him.

In this world, I'm afraid that only Zhou Yi hacked him so unscrupulously, and he still felt happy.

Because Zhou Yi really helped him a lot, if there was no Zhou Yi, how could he make a one-meter-seven-eight "short Great Wall" in Inter Milan?

"Lao Guo, I actually like to chat with you offline. Zhou Yi said.

"Why?"

"As soon as you speak, you can ask the author to make up the word count. Zhou Yi said seriously.

"Hack me again!" Guo angrily pointed at Zhou Yi and smiled.

Zhou Yi also smiled, Lao Guo's mentality was really much better than before.

After blackening Lao Guo, they chatted about business.

“...... AC Milan are number one at the moment, but I don't think it's a big deal, they are worth noting that there are two people, one is Ibrahimovic and the other is Thiago Silva, one in front and one behind, one in the middle...... As long as you pay attention to these two people, AC Milan has nothing to worry about......"

Guo Nu began to provide information to Zhou Yi, these words were processed technically, if the scene was truly reproduced, the author would probably be really scolded for making up the number of words......

Zhou Yi listened carefully to Guo Nu's stammering information offering, but he didn't interrupt him, nor did he show impatience.

Although Zhou Yi may know more about the situation of AC Milan than Guo Nu, after all, he has a virtual space to simulate the game in advance, but this is Guo Nu's intention, and he can't shirk it.

After listening to Guo Nu's information, Zhou Yicai said: "Lao Guo, you are working so hard to provide information, you don't want to make Inter Milan fishermen profitable, right?"

Guo Nu glanced at Zhou Yi: "My heart, my heart is not as dirty as you, you!"

Although Inter Milan was beaten a bit badly by Borussia Dortmund in the group stage this season, they finally qualified from the group and finished second in the group. They drew Bayern Munich in the knockout round.

"Okay, do you need me to provide you with information about Bayern Munich?" Zhou Yi asked.

"It's useless for you to provide me. I'm not in the first team, I can't play, I can't play in the Champions League!" Guo Nu said regretfully.

"Ah, well, then I wish Inter the best of luck. Zhou Yi said.

Then the two stopped talking about business, and began to talk about some idle days again. From reminiscing about their past during the reality show, to how everyone is mixing in their respective teams now.

Express the feelings of the teenager and feel the fate.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yi and Guo Nu finished the meal, and he said goodbye to Lao Guo and was about to return to the hotel.

Although the game is the day after tomorrow, Klopp has demanded that every player must return to the hotel by 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Will you go to the scene to watch the game?" Zhou Yi asked Guo Nu while waiting for the bus outside the restaurant.

"No, no, no, no ticket. But I'll be watching and watching the game live in front of the TV. Guo shook his head angrily.

"Okay, let's go back and talk in the group. The taxi called by Zhou Yi arrived, and he waved goodbye to Guo Nu.

"Let's talk about it. Guo waved his hand angrily and watched Zhou Yi get into the car.

Looking at the direction in which the car was leaving, he was a little distracted.

When everyone met in a reality show, they each had their own origins and their own way to go.

It's best to mix it now. But Guo Nu was not jealous of him, because that was what he deserved.

Among the five people at the beginning, he was the core of this small group, so he became the core of Dortmund so quickly, Guo Nu felt that it was normal.

In the future, everyone goes to the national team, and he will still be the core......
