Perhaps having just finished a crucial game against Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund's players were a little tired, both physically and mentally. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Borussia Dortmund didn't play well enough in this game.

Towards the end of the first half, Reus opened the scoring for Borussia Dortmund and took the lead.

But this first half was not satisfying.

Because just a minute after Reuss scored, Dortmund's main centre-back Subotic fell from the air and landed on his knees in a scramble with Wolfsburg striker Olich. At that time, he was replaced, and Klopp's face turned black.

Subotic's departure had a detrimental impact on Dortmund's defensive stability.

Wolfsburg scored two goals in the 56th and 69th minutes of the second half, and reversed 2:1!

Yan Min, who put on a miraculous performance against Arsenal, did not play the role of the team's savior again this time, and although he worked hard, he always failed to be lucky.

By the time he was substituted in the 77th minute, he had a total of four shots on goal in the game, three of which hit the woodwork, but none of them scored. He also delivered three crosses, but none of his team-mates could take them.

In the 77th minute, he was replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

When he left the game, Duan Xin had some regrets: "Yan Min's luck in this game is not very good, he seems to have used all his good luck in the game against Arsenal......"

In his opinion, if Yan Min can put on a convincing performance in two consecutive games, then he can definitely put Aubameyang on the bench for the time being.

It's a pity that he seems to lack the aura of the protagonist......

From the 81st minute to the 85th minute, in just four minutes, Dortmund had three yellow cards, including Zhou Yi, Reus and Mark.

Basically, they were fouled when they tackled in the front court.

It can be seen that Dortmund are not willing to lose away from home.

They were separated by just one point from Bayern Munich, but a defeat away to Wolfsburg would have widened the gap to four points - Bayern Munich had already led Augsburg 2-0 at home in the other game at the same time, and if nothing else, they would have no chance of taking all three points at home.

However, Dortmund were unable to find the back of the net until the final moments, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, they had to reluctantly accept the result.

"At the end of the game, Dortmund lost 1-2 away to Wolfsburg......! However, Dortmund still have a chance, and the next round is their chance to speak directly with Bayern Munich, and if they can beat Bayern Munich at home, they can still narrow the gap to one point......" Marcel Leif comforted the disappointed Dortmund fans in front of the TV.

However, Dortmund fans have a different opinion - if Dortmund wins this game, then Dortmund only needs to beat Bayern Munich at home in the next game, won't they be able to overtake Bayern in the standings?

The bad news isn't just the away defeat to Wolfsburg.

After the game, it was reported that Subotic, who was injured in the game, was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament in his knee after an MRI, and he will need half a year to recover, which also means that Subotic's season has basically ended early......

It couldn't be worse, Dortmund have been plagued by injuries frequently this season, and now Subotic is out for another season, which makes Dortmund's prospects for this season even more unoptimistic.

After the match against Wolfsburg, the European leagues ushered in the national team break.

Borussia Dortmund's international players are returning to their respective national teams to play.

Yan Min was also selected for the Chinese national team squad because of his outstanding performance in the Champions League against Arsenal, and he will return to China from Germany with Zhou Yi and Yang Muge, and they will play two friendly matches with the team.

The friendly matches were played against Slovenia in Europe and Venezuela in South America.

Both of these teams have already been eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil, which has just ended, and both of them are missing out on the World Cup in Brazil. However, some of them are from Europe and South America, and they were invited by the Chinese Football Association to play friendly matches against the Chinese team. The Chinese team hopes to use the warm-up matches to increase their experience of playing against European and American teams.

You must know that in the group stage of next year's World Cup, the Chinese team will definitely be divided into a group with at least one team from Europe or South America. Playing against European and American teams will help players become more familiar with the playing style of European and American teams and gain experience. If you can still win, then you can accumulate confidence in European and American teams, so that in the World Cup, when you meet a similar team again, the Chinese players will not be stunned.

Slovenia were drawn in Group E in the European qualifiers, along with Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Albania and Cyprus. In the qualifiers, Slovenia finished with five wins and five losses and 15 points, ranking third in the group and missing out on the play-offs. That's why they have time to come to China to play this warm-up game now.

South American side Venezuela finished sixth in the final qualifiers and also missed out on the play-offs. They have won five of their sixteen games, drawn five and lost six, accumulating 20 points and five points less than fifth-placed Uruguay who qualified for the play-offs.

Neither team is the underdog, but they have a lot of quality, and although they didn't qualify for the qualifiers in their respective continents, that's because their divisions are too competitive, and if they are sent to Asia for the World Cup qualifiers, their chances of reaching the finals will be greatly improved.

But at the same time, their strength is not as outrageous as the old European and American powerhouses such as Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and Spain. And against a Chinese side with a large number of players playing for European clubs, these two teams are not likely to take their opponents lightly, and they will have to give it their all if they want to win.

They have just finished the World Cup qualifiers, and they lack high-quality games, but they also cherish the opportunity to play with the Chinese team, and there will be no situation where they will send a second-tier team to the Chinese team to go through the motions.

The Chinese team chose them as warm-up opponents, which not only ensured the quality of the warm-up, but also had the possibility of winning, which was a very smart choice.

Judging from the selection of opponents in the warm-up matches, today's Chinese football is indeed more professional than when it first entered the World Cup finals......

※※※

Because it is designed with the goal of next year's World Cup finals, even though it is a warm-up match, the Chinese national team internationals who play in Europe will all come back and participate in the competition.

Needless to say, the situation of Zhou Yi and Yan Min is not to be said.

Yang Muge is the main midfielder in Schalke 04, no matter what the team's results are, he is the main force that cannot be beaten.

After losing to Borussia Dortmund in the Ruhr derby, Schalke 04 ushered in a wave of two consecutive wins.

However, the team lost too much in the early stage, after 12 rounds of league battles, Schalke 04 won 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, scored 23 goals, conceded 23 goals, and had a goal difference of 0, ranking sixth in the Bundesliga standings with 20 points.

Sun Pan has conquered almost everyone at Chelsea and there is no discussion at all about who should start between him and Cech. There are rumours that Cech is considering leaving Chelsea and looking for another way. In the competition with Cech, it seems that Sun Pan has the last laugh.

He Ying formed a forward trident with Ibrahimovic and Cavani at Paris Saint-Germain, although the number of goals is not many, but in attack, his all-round attributes are indispensable for Paris Saint-Germain, he can not only shoot and score, but also break through and assist his teammates, and at the same time can connect the midfield, and his comprehensive skills have won the trust and respect of the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain Blanco.

Although PSG's Ligue 1 league is not at the highest level in Europe, he can get consistent playing time here, which will help him much more than he did as a substitute at Barcelona. He's been well-rounded at PSG and has more tactical versatility and is the kind of player any manager would want to coach.

And Guo Nu, who was originally the worst of the five dragons, has been playing for Inter Milan since he was taken back ownership by Inter Milan in the season. With his excellent physical fitness and tenacious fighting spirit, he also occupies a place in Inter Milan's main lineup. Although he did not play in the Champions League, in the Europa League, he also used to accumulate European experience, which also greatly improved him.

They have all continued to grow and improve in their respective clubs, and this progress is visible to everyone through the weekly broadcasts of major European leagues.

Every Chinese fan has high hopes for them, hoping that they can seize this year, grow more in their respective clubs, and then bring what they have learned in European football to the Chinese team, and play in next year's World Cup to win glory for the country.
