After returning from Milan's first-leg win and an away goal, Borussia Dortmund host their league rivals, modest St. Pauli. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because he had just played a Champions League knockout game, Klopp rotated for this game.

However, Zhou Yi did not enter the rotation lineup.

After the team doctor Dr. Braun examined and analyzed the physical condition of all the players, he decided that Zhou Yi was completely fit to play in the match against St. Pauli.

And because the points ahead of the opponent in the league are not too much, Klopp really does not want to rotate Zhou Yi.

In this way, Zhou Yi was able to play in the match against St. Pauli.

In this game, Mark and Shinji Kagawa both entered the rotation, with Lewandowski coming in for Mark.

And the Polish striker did not live up to Klopp's hopes for him, and in an indirect and a direct assist from Zhou Yi, Lewandowski scored twice to help Dortmund finally beat St. Pauli 2-0 at home.

Bayer Leverkusen won 4-2 at home to Stuttgart, so the two teams are still six points apart.

This point gap is not long, but it is not short. If you want to say long, it's a matter of two games. But to put it short, the gap of six points gets longer the further you go to the back of the league......

And Dortmund will also challenge Bayern Munich away in the next round of the league, if Dortmund loses to Bayern Munich away, it will give Bayer Leverkusen the opportunity to close the points gap.

There is no Champions League fixture after the game against Bayern Munich and Dortmund can put all their attention on this game.

For Borussia Dortmund, the away game against Bayern Munich is not only considered a mountain to climb on their way to the title, but also a battle for revenge.

Last season, Borussia Dortmund were beaten twice by Bayern Munich in the league. Especially after a rebound in form, they also lost away to Bayern Munich.

They have already beaten Bayern Munich at home this season, just one Allianz Arena yet to breach.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have not performed as well as before this season, but after the winter break, their performance has gradually improved.

Just look at the current league standings, Dortmund is first in the league with 52 points, Bayer Leverkusen is second in the league with 46 points, and Bayern Munich is third in the league with 42 points.

You must know that in the first half of the league, Bayern Munich was ranked outside the top ten......

Some data have analyzed that Bayern Munich's last six games are five wins and one loss, scoring seventeen goals and conceding five.

The last three games have been all wins, and in their home stadium they are 10 wins in a row.

This shows that they have a big advantage at home.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich have lost just two of their last sixteen games, and six of their last seven games have been big wins.

For example, Hoffenheim 4:0, Aachen 4:0 and Kaiserslautern 5:1.

The only thing that could affect them is the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, where, like Borussia Dortmund, they are heading to Milan to take on rivals Inter Milan.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have not been in great form of late, with two wins, three draws and one defeat in their last six matches. The 10-point lead in the league was reduced to four points at its lowest point.

Of course, analyzing data can only tell part of the story, not the whole story.

If you only look at the numbers, you will be deceived.

Because of the period when Dortmund did not perform well, Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa were not in the team. And when Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa returned to the team, the team's performance immediately improved.

In midweek, Bayern Munich beat defending champions Inter Milan 1-0 away to achieve the same result as Borussia Dortmund.

is almost half of his body about to squeeze into the quarterfinals.

After the game, Louis van Gaal was pleased with his team's performance. The team's recent succession of excellent performances has also made him speak with confidence.

"Who said we're going to give up the league? 10? Yes, I know, but so what?"

Van Gaal, who has always been outspoken, said this when asked by reporters about the next crucial battle with Dortmund.

Bayern Munich, who are in third place, and Borussia Dortmund, who are in first place, are exactly 10 points apart in the league.

In the eyes of many, it is almost an insurmountable barrier, but in Van Gaal's view, this is not the case.

"If we can beat Borussia Dortmund, the gap will be shortened by 10 points, and it will be a game worth six points. We won't give up on the league because league titles are a tradition for Bayern Munich. ”

This is really domineering, as if the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich's backyard, if they want to win the championship, others have to let it.

Klopp responded to Louis van Gaal's remarks: "I've never heard a manager who is so far from the top of the league say that. ”

"Do you think Bayern Munich still have a chance to win the league title?" the reporter asked.

"Of course, even Borussia Mönchengladbach have a chance to win the league!" Klopp shrugged, with obvious sarcasm in his tone.

Borussia Mönchengladbach are 18th in the league so far this season – that is, bottom of the table. They have only 19 points from 23 league games and are on the verge of relegation.

What Klopp meant by this, everyone knew it.

In response to Klopp's response, this time it was the turn of Bayern Munich's general manager Hoeness to stand up.

"I have to remind Jurgen Klopp that there are 11 games left in the league and Borussia Mönchengladbach only have 19 points, and if they are to win the league title, they will need at least 37 points of their own, in addition to hoping that the 17 teams ahead of them will lose all of their next league games. But with only 11 rounds left in the league and Borussia Mönchengladbach winning them all, they will only be able to get 33 points, so they have no chance of winning the title. I suggest that Klopp should go and brush up on math first. ”

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 are rivals in the Ruhr area, but in the whole of Germany, their opponents are, of course, Bayern Munich.

When Dortmund was doing well, every time they met Bayern Munich, it was like Mars hitting the Earth, which can be seen from the intensity of the war of words before the game.

The feud between the two teams is not only evident in the game, but also off the pitch. For example, Borussia Dortmund has been poached by Bayern Munich many times, and the club's general manager Zorc has accused Bayern Munich of being a cancer in German football, and their efforts to poach the hope stars of other clubs and become stars will eventually ruin the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, ridiculed each other and came up with data to show that Dortmund is the most powerful team in the Bundesliga.

In previous seasons, Dortmund had poor results and sluggish performances, unable to threaten Bayern Munich's supremacy, and the two teams met a little less gunpowder at that time.

Dortmund's strong performance this season directly threatened Bayern Munich's Bundesliga supremacy, and Bayern Munich certainly couldn't sit idly by, so the classic war of words between the two sides began.

In response to Hoeness's remarks, Dortmund's general manager Zorke couldn't sit still, and he ridiculed: "It seems that Hoeness is good at mathematics, I wonder if he would like to come to Dortmund to be our mathematics teacher? Anyone with a normal IQ should be able to hear that Klopp is just using Borussia Mönchengladbach as a metaphor, but Hoeness is so serious that he is obviously avoiding the crux of the question, that is, does Bayern Munich still have a chance of winning the championship? ”

The managers of the two teams are "insulting each other" here, and Borussia Mönchengladbach has fallen for eight lifetimes......

I don't know who they recruited and provoked, so they were constantly hanged and beaten.

It's really a fight between immortals, and mortals suffer.

In this regard, Borussia Mönchengladbach also expressed his opinion: "We have great respect for the two clubs of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, after all, they defended the dignity and honour of our German football in the Champions League. But we hope that both clubs will show us some respect as well. Please don't associate us with the league title anymore, we just want to be relegated now!"

Borussia Mönchengladbach's statement is so funny that many people want to laugh, but others find it pathetic.

Because Borussia Mönchengladbach is also a veteran powerhouse in the Bundesliga. In their most glorious seventies of the last century, they won the UEFA Cup twice, and reached the Champions League final in 1977, but unfortunately lost to Liverpool 1-3 in the final and missed out on the Champions League title. Domestically, he also has five league titles and three German Cup titles.

But after the end of the golden age, the team gradually degenerated into mediocrity, and only prestige remained.

They are at the bottom of the table this season, and if they don't do well, they will be relegated.

Nowadays, they really don't have the heart to think about any league titles, and Borussia Mönchengladbach's fans also think that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are too arrogant, and their ridicule of Borussia Mönchengladbach is simply vicious attack and injury.

Klopp quickly apologized and said that he did not mean to offend, he just gave a random example to illustrate that Bayern Munich's probability of winning the championship is low...... He apologised to Borussia Mönchengladbach and the fans for his inadvertent mistake.

Then Hoeness and Zolke also apologized.

It's just that Hoeness did not forget to continue to attack Dortmund in addition to apologizing, and he reminded the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach that Klopp pulled Borussia Mönchengladbach in first, so he was wronged and went out to find Klopp......

The management of the two clubs is jubilant, but what about the players?

Naturally, they also showed off their muscles to each other and spat on each other, fully indicating their position.

In the midst of the smell of gunpowder, only Zhou Yi was an exception, telling German and Chinese reporters: "I don't understand why Van Gaal thinks this game is important. This is just one of thirty-four league rounds. I don't think there's anything special about this game. ”

"But Bayern Munich is the ...... you can't get around winning the championship"

"There's nothing you can't get around, is it? We're ten points ahead of them. Even if we lose them in this game, we're still seven points ahead of them, and it's not the end of the world. ”

"So you think it doesn't matter if you win or lose?" a reporter asked.

"No, of course I'm going to try to win. I'm just saying there's no need to take this game too seriously – it's the kind of argument between the first and third in the league, have you ever asked the idea of second in the league?"

Finally, everyone stopped mentioning Borussia Mönchengladbach, and as a result, Bayer Leverkusen lay down again......
