Borussia Dortmund, who beat Augsburg at home, are now second in the league. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bayer Leverkusen have suffered back-to-back defeats since losing away to Borussia Dortmund.

A wave of three consecutive defeats dropped them directly from the second place in the league.

Borussia Dortmund are second in the league despite having a game in hand.

Everyone felt that Jurgen Klopp was realistic and set the goal of qualifying for next season and the Champions League better. The team doesn't have too much pressure and can play with a normal mind.

On 29 January, in midweek, when the rest of the Bundesliga teams were training as usual, Borussia Dortmund hosted a league opponent, Hertha Berlin – a make-up match for the 17th round of the league.

At that time, Dortmund was going to participate in the Club World Cup, so the match that was supposed to be played on December 21 was moved to this day.

Facing Hertha Berlin at home, Dortmund defeated their opponents 2-1 after a hard-fought battle to get three points.

With the same number of games, they are only four points away from Bayern Munich!

Now many people remember that when they discussed before, they forgot that in fact, Dortmund is seven points behind Bayern Munich There is another premise, that is, Dortmund has one less game than Bayern Munich......

Now that both sides have played the same number of games and are four points behind, it doesn't look so insurmountable.

Dortmund's media naturally praised Dortmund's performance, saying that Dortmund's win over Hertha Berlin brought back the suspense of the league title.

The vast number of neutral melon-eating masses are also happy to watch the good show of the two heroes competing for hegemony, and they are following the noise below.

Overnight, it was as if Dortmund, who had reigned supreme in Germany, had returned......

But in fact, Dortmund is not out of their crisis.

Because of Kuba's injury, Dortmund want to bring in Holtby to replace Kuba.

Holtby was previously a Schalke 04 player, but was sold to Tottenham Hotspur a year ago for €1.75 million. Borussia Dortmund want to buy the former Schalke 04 player from Tottenham Hotspur.

It's just a pity that this plan was not successfully implemented.

During the winter break, Holtby was loaned to Fulham by Tottenham Hotspur.

At the end of the day, Dortmund have almost nothing to gain in this winter break transfer market.

There is not a single new recruit in the position that needs to be strengthened, and none of the problems that need to be solved have been solved.

In such a situation, it is simply whimsical to want to catch up with Bayern Munich.

"Even if it was considered fanciful, I still wanted to give it a try. Lying in bed at night, Zhou Yi spoke to Cortana about the current predicament facing the team.

"But the problem is that even if we win them all, we can only expect Bayern Munich to make mistakes themselves. Cortana pointed out the problem with Zhou Yi's idea.

"Of course, but first and foremost do your own thing. If you can't even do your own thing, how can you expect the opponent to give you a chance?" Zhou Yi pouted, "Moreover, if we can continue to win and put pressure on Bayern Munich, maybe Bayern Munich will make mistakes? ”

"I don't think last season's story can be repeated...... Cortana shook her head.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

This time Cortana didn't speak, indeed, how can you make conclusions in advance without trying?

Dortmund faced a similar situation last season as they did this season, and no one believed that Dortmund would be able to reverse Bayern Munich to win the title.

Unexpectedly, on both fronts of the Champions League in the league, Dortmund completed a great reversal.

"What if I try it and still don't get the results I want?"

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "I don't want to do so much now, go all out and do my best first." ”

Three days later, in the 19th round of the league, Zhou Yi did his best to help Dortmund, which lacked the on-site command of the head coach, narrowly defeat the relegation team Braunschweig 2:1 away. He contributed a goal in this game, as well as an assist. It can be said that the reason why Dortmund was able to win this game is all due to Zhou Yi alone.

Compared to Borussia Dortmund's stumble, Bayern Munich beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 at their home stadium and won the game without bloodshed.

The German media have exclaimed that Pep Guardiola's team is invincible.

Borussia Dortmund's media didn't care about that, they were more concerned about the start of the game against Braunschweig, where the main centre-back Hummels finally returned from injury, and played the whole game.

At this juncture, the return of any wounded soldier is good news for Dortmund.

Dortmund's backline is not as tight as it used to be.

Schmelzer, Piszczek and Hummels have all returned, with only Subotic completely out for the season.

This is great news for Borussia Dortmund, who have a busy schedule.

On 7 February, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, they will take on Werder Bremen away.

Two days after the game, on February 9, Borussia Dortmund have a German Cup quarter-final game to play.

It's definitely impossible to keep a lineup. So for the situation in these two games, Klopp made some adjustments.

The so-called adjustment, of course, is to abandon the German Cup.

Jurgen Klopp has decided to play all the time for Werder Bremen, and when it comes time to play the German Cup, he will send as many substitutes and second-tier players as possible to give the main players a chance to rest and reduce the chance of injury.

If you had to give up on one event, the German Cup would be a no-brainer.

This event is the most frivolous and has the lowest gold content.

This event will only be considered if there is no hope of winning several other events.

Jurgen Klopp gave up the German Cup last season, which allowed the team to maintain a good upward momentum in the league and the Champions League, and finally won the double in one fell swoop.

This season, when the team is in trouble and cannot fight on multiple fronts, the German Cup is certainly the first to be abandoned.

Klopp thought it was good, but in a warm-up match before the game against Werder Bremen, Hummels, who had just returned from injury, was injured again!

When Hummels was lifted off the pitch, Klopp's expression was ...... A numb face.

Yes, after so many injuries this season, Klopp can't think of it without being numb.

Even, if there is no sick number in the team for any month, he will feel strange and uncomfortable.

Soon, there were media reports that Hummels had just recovered from his injury and was injured again.

With the exception of the pro-Dortmund media, the rest of the media are sneering at Dortmund, exclaiming that they must have been cursed by the devil this season.

In other words, they shouldn't have come back to win the title last season, the league and the Champions League have been seriously overdrawn their luck, and now it's time for them to pay off their debts.

The latest news is that Hummels will be out for two weeks due to the injury.

“...... Good news, Hummels only needs to rest for two weeks! It's better than a two-month truce, isn't it?"

Hummels' pre-match injury cast a shadow over Borussia Dortmund's trip to Werder Bremen.

Jurgen Klopp put up the strongest squad he could.

However, this lineup makes people feel sad when they look at it - this set of remnants is Dortmund's current strongest lineup, and it is really like Dortmund last season......

However, when the game started, the situation on the field was a little different from what everyone expected......

From the very beginning of the game, Dortmund were firmly in control.

Why is this happening?

Because Zhou Yi's performance today is very positive. From the first minute of the game, he ran non-stop and appeared in every corner of the pitch. No matter who gets the ball or where the players of Dortmund are, as long as they look up, they will definitely be able to see Zhou Yi for the first time.

Driven by Zhou Yi, the whole Dortmund team was like a high-speed machine, dragging Werder Bremen into it, and then crushing and stirring it.

In the 26th minute, Mark Wagner received a cross from Yan Min and headed in the opener for Borussia Dortmund. And Yan Min received a pass from Zhou Yi before the cross.

After taking the lead, Dortmund continued to maintain the original pressing posture, so that Werder Bremen could not organize an effective attack at all, and could only be pressed and beaten by Dortmund.

This surprised the commentator Marcel Leif a little: "Whose home stadium is this......
