readx;? After Zhou Yi's goal, it was not only Ajax's defense that was dismantled, but also their fighting spirit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With only a few minutes remaining, it was possible that they would have scored again to equalise, but the Ajax players did not show such fighting spirit.

However, Klopp's side made frequent substitutions, replacing Gotze with striker Shibel in the 90th minute, and Gundogan with Reitner in the 91st minute.

The two substitutions took some time.

Although Frank de Boer replaced midfielder Sana with striker Soleimani in the 88th minute, it didn't help.

Eventually, referee Tagliavento blew the whistle for the end of the match.

After a hard battle, evaluating Zhou Yi's quasi-stunner in the 87th minute, Dortmund defeated Ajax 1-0 at home!

After the game, Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone.

He was asked if Dortmund's tough game had something to do with his contempt for his opponent.

Zhou Yi shook his head and denied it: "How is it possible? This is the group of death, every game in this group is difficult to play, it is normal to play hard, right." We didn't underestimate the opponents, Ajax are a strong team and the way the game played like this is a reflection of their quality. ”

In his post-match press conference, Frank de Boer lamented the result: "I think a draw is fair, but that's football. We're no worse than Borussia Dortmund, and if there's a gap, I don't think we have a gap, that's the gap. Borussia Dortmund's final goal was a reflection of Zhou Yi's personal ability......"

Jurgen Klopp agrees that it would be nice to win at home, and that there is no need to think about goal difference: "It's the group of death, in this group, it's hard to play against any opponent, it's not easy to win any game. So I'm happy with the three points, goal difference? that's not something to think about in this group. ”

There is a corroboration that can more or less prove the correctness of Zhou Yi and Klopp's views - in another group stage at the same time, Real Madrid faced Champions League upstart Manchester City at their home stadium, and finally won only 3:2.

The first half was the same 0-0 draw as Dortmund's.

It wasn't until the 69th minute of the second half that City broke the deadlock through Dzeko and gave City the lead at Real Madrid's home stadium.

Real Madrid then made a series of substitutions, with Jose Mourinho making two substitutions in one go in the 73rd minute, using up all the substitutions. Manchester City's Mancini also replaced McCone with Zabaleta in the 74th minute, which was also the last substitution of the game.

In the 76th minute, Real Madrid equalized through Marcelo.

In the 85th minute, Kararov gave City the lead again.

In the 87th minute, Karim Benzema equalized again for Real Madrid.

In the 90th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo finally got the Bernabeu boiling – and his goal at the time beat Manchester City.

It's the same game as Borussia Dortmund, but it was a game with five goals, so it looks better.

But the difficulty of the game is all the same.

These two games are worthy of the adjective "the most terrifying group of deaths after 199".

The next game of the Champions League will be on October 3, Dortmund away to Manchester City, watching Manchester City's away game against Real Madrid, I am afraid no one will think that Dortmund's road trip is easy.

Perhaps it was too much energy to spend in the Champions League, and Dortmund, who returned to the league, lost 2-3 away to Hamburg. Although Zhou Yi had an assist, it didn't help.

However, after this game, Wagner, who has been injured, can finally train with the team, which is good news.

Dortmund has been fighting on two fronts this season, and if Wagner can make a comeback, it will definitely be a blessing for Dortmund.

In the fifth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Eintracht Frankfurt away, and finally Dortmund defeated the opponent 3:2 away.

Borussia Dortmund host Borussia Mönchengladbach in the sixth round of the league, and after this game, the team will prepare for the second game of the Champions League group stage against Manchester City.

In this game, Klopp rotated, and many of the main players, including Zhou Yi, were not able to appear in the starting list, or even in the squad.

Jurgen Klopp was intent on abandoning the league outright, but to his surprise, Borussia Dortmund, who had a rotating lineup, beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-0 at their home stadium.

After this game, Dortmund threw themselves into the preparation for Manchester City, and in training, Klopp increased the proportion of AUT in training.

This is because in the Champions League, the passing speed is generally 15% faster than in the Bundesliga, and if you play in the Champions League according to the Bundesliga's habits, you will lose badly. AUT can improve the speed of the players' passing and receiving of the ball, and Dortmund's ability to reach the semi-finals in the Champions League last season is related to AUT training.

But last season Dortmund only used AUT to sharpen their guns, and they didn't want to use AUT this season, so they have been training with AUT since the pre-season training camp.

Zhou Yi has a greater advantage, he can not only train AUT in reality, but also in his dreams, he can also carry out an upgraded version of AUT special training.

In addition, he can play Manchester City in a virtual space in advance and get a feel for the game.

With a 3-2 defeat away to Real Madrid in their first game, Manchester City will have to win this game against Borussia Dortmund if they are to qualify from this group.

Even though it was a game in a virtual space, Zhou Yi could still feel the energy that Manchester City burst out at his home stadium.

Borussia DortmundIn the virtual match against Manchester City away, Dortmund has always lost more than wins.

However, it is true that Dortmund will not necessarily have to beat Manchester City away from home if they win one game - it would be nice to win, but if they can't, a draw is perfectly acceptable. Just like Ajax were hoping to draw at Borussia Dortmund away.

In the Group of Death, a draw is often the best value for money outcome, especially when playing away from home.

Borussia Dortmund flew to Manchester the day after their match against Borussia Mönchengladbach. And this is three days before the Champions League game in midweek.

Why go so early?

Of course, it's because of having to get used to everything in Manchester, including the weather, food and venues.

As for where the squad will train, Borussia Dortmund have agreed with Manchester United to allow Dortmund to use their Carrington training base for free in preparation for the game against Manchester City.

As a four-time pair of city peers, Manchester City's enemies are friends of Manchester United.

Of course, if Dortmund and Manchester United meet in the Champions League next time, then Manchester City will certainly be happy to lend their training base to Dortmund, even if they fight to the death in this Champions League group stage.

Moreover, Dortmund has a player deal with Manchester United this summer, and Shinji Kagawa went to Manchester United from Dortmund.

When Dortmund was training at the Carrington training base, Shinji Kagawa also came to Dortmund's training ground to chat with his former teammates and coaches and catch up with old feelings. Although he complained to Dortmund's management because of the contract renewal issue when he left Dortmund, his relationship with his teammates and coaches was still very good.

Since his move to Manchester United, Shinji Kagawa has started four of the six league games, missing one and scoring a goal.

This performance can't be said to be very good, but it's not too bad, it can only be said to be decent.

Of course, it certainly wasn't as impressive as his performance at Borussia Dortmund. In Borussia Dortmund's midfield, his role was outstanding. But at Manchester United, he's more of a role player.

After meeting Shinji Kagawa, everyone asked him if he was used to living at Manchester United.

"Everything but the weather was used to it. Shinji Kagawa said with a smile.

"Are you used to eating?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

"You don't want to black British food, Zhou Sang. Shinji Kagawa knew what Zhou Yi was going to say. "Besides, Manchester is not without Japanese restaurants, and occasionally you can improve the food. ”

"You said it improved, it seems that you don't usually eat well. Zhou Yi pouted.

Everyone laughed.

Shinji Kagawa has only been away for a short time, and he is certainly more familiar with Borussia Dortmund than Manchester United, and no one feels like an outsider.

It's a sense of intimacy that Kagawa hasn't felt at Manchester United so far.

Compared to Borussia Dortmund's dressing room, Manchester United's dressing room is a bit more complicated. If you want to compare, Manchester United is a bit like Bayern Munich in the Premier League, a well-deserved hegemon, and the focus of everyone's attention, there are more superstars in the dressing room than Dortmund, and it is normal for interpersonal relationships to be complicated.

In the end, Shinji Kagawa and Klopp chatted separately for a while, although Manchester United and Manchester City have not met in the new season, but the two teams even have training bases next to each other, and in the same city, there will always be various channels to learn about the opponent's news.

Therefore, Shinji Kagawa told Klopp everything he learned about Manchester City, hoping to play a certain role in Klopp's tactical arrangement. (To be continued.) )
