Borussia Dortmund have just finished a do-or-die battle and are on the verge of another do-or-die battle – the Champions League group stage, where they host Napoli. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last Champions League group game, Dortmund defeated Arsenal at home, retaining a hope for them to qualify from the group, but after all, it is only hope, whether they can qualify from the group depends on the next games. And their match against Napoli is the key.

Because Borussia Dortmund and Napoli are direct rivals for group progress.

After four rounds of the group stage, Arsenal and Napoli are tied on nine points and are in the top two of the group. Borussia Dortmund have six points from their home win over Arsenal in the last round, which is not too far from the top two.

Galatasaray have not won a game, accumulated zero points, and have been eliminated from the tournament early.

If Borussia Dortmund are to qualify from the group, they will have to beat Napoli at home, so that the number of points is the same as Napoli, and the win-loss relationship is also one win and one loss, and the number of goals scored and conceded against each other needs to be compared.

Borussia Dortmund lost to Napoli in the first Champions League group game, with a score of 0:3. If Dortmund can't win at home by at least three goals, then even if they win against Napoli, they will still be pressed by Napoli in the rankings.

So this game is a big task for Dortmund - they have to beat Napoli not only by a big margin, but also by a big score, preferably without conceding a goal.

This is no less difficult for Dortmund, who are full of injuries, especially the entire main backline, than they draw with Bayern Munich at home......

Some pessimists even believe that the defending champions will be out of the group stage early this time. Because Dortmund can't even draw in this game, if they draw with Napoli, they can only hope that Galatasaray can hold Arsenal back, but the probability of such a situation is not high, and the danger of putting their fate in someone else's hands is too high.

But it's not entirely out of the question.

Because Napoli's recent form has not been very good either.

At the start of the league, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund were in perfect form, leading the table in their respective leagues. Napoli, in particular, beat the defending champions 3-0 in the Champions League. However, Napoli's form has not been great lately, as they have lost back-to-back league fixtures, first to Juventus and then to Parma, to sit still in third place in Serie A.

Napoli are also in poor form, with Borussia Dortmund at home hoping to beat Napoli.

But if Napoli just want to get a draw away from home, a draw will allow them to qualify for the first round early. They could have been a little more conservative and defended stubbornly away from home to hold Borussia Dortmund to a draw.

A draw is perfectly acceptable for Napoli but not for Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund will definitely attack with all their might, and that's the condition for Napoli to play counter-attack. If they can steal one on the counter-attack, Napoli will not have a chance to take all three points and exit from the Stadio West, the devil's home stadium.

Because there are so many variations in a game, and the advantages and disadvantages can be transferred to each other, this game is in the spotlight.

At the time of the draw for the Champions League group stage, Group F was called the "Group of Death". But now, for the first time, the group has really shown the hideousness of "death".

Because there was such a game ahead, the match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich was quickly revealed, and everyone no longer focused on the game that had already ended, but put all their energy into the Champions League game.

Borussia Dortmund's injury problems at the back have not been completely resolved.

Napoli's poor performance in the last game against Bayern Munich will surely be noticed by Napoli, and it will not be difficult to find a strategy to break down the defense if you take a closer look at the footage of this game.

However, Napoli's midfield core Hamsik was injured in the last league game and will not be able to participate in this Champions League game.

Both sides have losses in strength.

But what everyone cares about the most is that Zhou Yi will face Napoli again.

The last time the two sides met, Zhou Yi was injured by the opposing player in Napoli's away game and missed more than a month of games, which led to a sharp decline in Dortmund's situation, the Champions League group stage was in danger, and Bayern Munich was also surpassed in the league.

If you want to say that Napoli is Zhou Yi's "enemy", it's no problem, everyone wants to see how Zhou Yi will "take revenge" when facing Napoli.

So before the game, Zhou Yi was asked the most by reporters about "revenge".

Zhou Yi said very differently: "There is no such thing as 'revenge', the injury was just an accident, and I didn't blame Inle or Napoli for it." We must fight for victory in this game, not for revenge, but for our own survival. If we are to qualify from the group, we have to beat Napoli at home. ”

"It is necessary to win by at least three goals or more...... a reporter reminded Zhou Yi of the difficulty.

But Zhou Yi corrected the reporter's statement:

"No, it's a goal difference of more than four goals. ”

He compared four fingers.

A three-goal difference would at best give Dortmund and Napoli the same win-loss relationship when they are on the same score, while a four-goal difference would allow Dortmund to outperform Napoli on the same number of points, and thus surpass Napoli in the rankings.

Zhou Yi said this, obviously the goal is to directly surpass Naples.

He said this with confidence.

But media reporters will wonder how Zhou Yi's confidence came from.

With Dortmund's current situation, even if they can score four goals against Napoli, there is no guarantee that Napoli will not score......

If you concede a goal, the goal of four goals is very difficult to achieve - Napoli will score one goal and Dortmund will have to score five, Napoli will score two goals and Dortmund will have to score six...... Even if it's on your home turf, the advantage isn't so big.

“...... Dortmund star Zhou Yi said in an interview with reporters that he wanted to beat Napoli by four goals, which is really surprising that his confidence comes from...... "In the Italian TV show, the host is talking and laughing with the guests, and the most eye-catching thing this week is of course the Champions League match between Dortmund and Napoli.

And everything before the game can be used as a talking point for everyone, not to mention that Zhou Yi also provided such a big "topic".

"Although he said that it was not revenge, he actually hated Naples to death in his heart, right?" the guest laughed. "That's why I say things like this......"

Another guest said: "I think maybe Zhou Yi has to say that, right?"

His point of view sparked everyone's interest, and the moderator asked him why he said that.

"It's very simple, with the current state of Dortmund, even if you play Napoli at home, you can't necessarily win. Their problems at the back are too serious, but they can't surrender early. So Zhou Yi said this, he should have cheered up his teammates......"

The guest talked eloquently, and the people around him nodded frequently - thinking about it, it was really like this.

What Dortmund lacks is confidence, and in the face of strong opponents and unfavorable situations, there will inevitably be some fear, as the core player of the team, of course, at this time to stand up and boost morale.

The Italian media believes that Dortmund is facing Napoli at home and has low confidence.

There is a slight deviation between their understanding and the reality.

Contrary to what they had imagined, Dortmund's interior is gearing up for the match against Napoli.

If before the game against Bayern Munich, Dortmund was a little lacking in self-confidence, then after this game with Bayern Munich, the problem of Dortmund's players' lack of self-confidence has been solved. Because they fell behind Bayern Munich three times in the game, and finally came back.

After such a game, how can the Dortmund players still lack confidence?

In the training that is not open to the public, the first-team training ground at the Bracker training base is full of enthusiasm and the atmosphere is enthusiastic, and every player is sweating on the training ground, although it is training, but the intensity is no less than that of the official game.

If you just look at this scene, you will be surprised - is this the same Dortmund team that was beaten in the game against Bayern Munich?

Jurgen Klopp was also very pleased with the morale of the team, and both he and assistant coach Bwach couldn't help but talk about it outside of training.

"It's amazing, just a draw and so much of a difference...... Buvac said.

'It wasn't any ordinary draw, it was a draw against Bayern Munich when the back line was almost scrapped, and it was a draw with three leads and three equalisers. Although the game is over, Klopp still can't hide the pride and pride in his tone when he talks about the game - he is not proud of the result, but proud of his team for being able to put up such a performance in the face of adversity.

"Gelico, I have a hunch. We'll get out of the group this time, and we'll be top of the group!' Klopp said in the end.

Bwach muttered: "Forget about the first place in the group or something, as long as I can qualify, I am very satisfied......"

Klopp smiled and said nothing.

The sun shone on the grassy training ground, and the sweat on the players' bodies was glistening.
