"By the way, do you think that's the worst news?"

While Zhou Yi was pondering, the voice of the agent Schulze sounded again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

Injured two main defenders in a national team game, isn't that the worst?

"You know the Friedrich," Schulze asked.

Zhou Yi snorted.

Manuel Friedrich is the replacement that Borussia Dortmund are looking for after Subotic is out for the season.

At that time, if Dortmund wanted to bring in a central defender from another team, they would have to wait until after the transfer window opened in January at the earliest, but in that case, it would have to wait too long, and Dortmund would not have been able to wait that long, far from quenching their thirst.

According to the transfer rules, only free agents who do not have a contract are exempt from the transfer window.

Dortmund eventually set their sights on former international Manuel Friedrich, who was at home and had no ball to play.

Friedrich wasn't a good fit, as he hadn't played for a while, and there was no guarantee of his form.

But there is no better option for Dortmund, free agents are so many, and if they are really capable and in good form, they can't play without the ball.

Moreover, Manuel Friedrich used to play for Mainz, and Klopp also coached Mainz, so the two have a direct working relationship. Jurgen Klopp knows Friedrich well, and although Friedrich has now been reduced to the point of not having a ball to play, Klopp is more inclined to choose players who have worked with him and are familiar with him.

So after Subotic's injury, Friedrich, who had planned to play in Bangkok in January next year, came to Dortmund's training base to train with the team.

Zhou Yi knows this.

At that time, Friedrich came to Dortmund for a trial, and later, when Zhou Yi left Dortmund and returned to play in China, he heard that Dortmund had officially signed a contract with Friedrich.

The contract will expire at the end of the season for seven months.

This is obviously a firefighting contract.

Manuel Friedrich, 34, is a former German international who was named to the German national team in 2006 but did not play in the 2006 World Cup. Not trusted by Klinsmann's successor, Loew, Friedrich scored one goal in just nine appearances for the German national team.

"Friedrich, I just got injured in a warm-up match. Schulze said in a flat tone.

Zhou Yi opened his mouth wide and looked at the agent driving in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.

"Are you kidding?"

"How could it be a joke? Just as you were playing for the national team, Borussia Dortmund also had someone to play a warm-up match against Paderborn in the Bundesliga. Dortmund won 2-1, but Friedrich suffered a knee injury in the game...... At that time, it was said that Jurgen Klopp rushed directly into the pitch......"

Listening to Schulze's narration, Zhou Yi was able to conjure up such a picture.

He can understand Klopp's mood - he finally found a replacement for Subotic, but he was injured in the first warm-up game, which is almost damning, right?

"How's the injury?" Zhou Yi asked one of the most important questions.

"Rest assured, it's not a season reimbursement. Schulze joked.

"Oh, that's okay......" Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the next game against Bayern Munich is not going to be played well. Schulze added.

Zhou Yi frowned.

The game against Bayern Munich is very important, Friedrich can't play, Hummels and Subotic and Schmelzer are injured again, how can Dortmund compete with Bayern Munich......

Zhou Yi himself felt a headache, let alone Klopp.

Zhou Yi at least doesn't have to think about how to solve this problem, and if Klopp can't come up with a solution, he will watch Dortmund be blown up by Bayern Munich at home.

Borussia Dortmund now have only one Papastathopoulos available at centre-back.

In addition, there is also a teenager born in 1995, Marian Sarr, who plays at centre-back but has never made an appearance in the first team. In the game against Bayern Munich, it is impossible to expect him to perform well on the pitch and withstand Bayern Munich's attack. This is, after all, reality, not a movie that became famous by a single shot.

※※※

Dortmund's media are reporting on the wave of injuries that Dortmund have suffered, and the finger is naturally pointing the finger at the German team and conspiracy theories such as "favoring Bayern Munich".

And in this regard, the Munich media also gave a counterattack.

The clash between the two teams, although the game has not yet started, the war of words has begun.

The Munich media ridiculed Dortmund for making excuses for the defeat, so they kept exaggerating the injury crisis they had encountered, so that once they lost, they could also blame the loss on too many injured soldiers.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, never make a big deal about their injuries, even though they are very bad.

In this game, Bayern Munich's Schweinsteiger, Shaqiri, Ribery, Pizarro, and Bad Stuber have also confirmed that they will not be able to participate, while Robben, Boateng, Xavi Martinez, Contento and others have just returned from injury, and it is difficult to say what the state is.

So if you want to say that affected by injuries, Bayern Munich is no worse than Dortmund, but Bayern Munich has no complaints.

The Dortmund media ridiculed each other: "Aren't you complaining now?"

Of course, in fact, the most important gimmick of Germany's "national derby" this time is definitely not that the two teams are full of injuries, but that Gotze and Lewandowski met their old clubs again in the game after leaving Dortmund.

When the two left Dortmund this summer, they both had some unpleasant problems with their original club.

In the minds of many Dortmund fans, both of them can be equated with Judas.

Of course, Lewandowski is in a better situation, when he left Dortmund, for good reasons, and in the transfer farce, it was Dortmund's side that did not take advantage, so there were not many Dortmund fans against him.

Mainly for Götze.

The talent, who is regarded by Dortmund fans as Dortmund's leading figure for the next decade, resolutely betrayed his parent club that raised him, and there is no nostalgia for it.

Dortmund fans are said to be ready to boo Gotze home during the game.

There was an interview about Gotze on the streets of Dortmund, and in front of the TV camera lens, few Dortmund fans were friendly to Gotze.

Everyone gritted their teeth at the mention of Gotze.

And what does Götze himself think of this "trip home"?

'I'm going to play hard and things off the pitch don't distract me. "He deftly steered clear of overly sensitive issues.

After moving to Bayern Munich this season, Götze did not have a consistent game opportunity in the Bayern Munich team due to an initial injury.

He missed two games and spent 90 minutes on the bench in two games, making four starts and three coming off the bench to score just one goal.

Such a performance was a far cry from what he did when he was a regular at Borussia Dortmund.

The Dortmund media believe that Gotze's choice to leave Dortmund for Bayern Munich is doomed to be a failed transfer, and he has gone from a regular player in a Bundesliga champion team to a substitute for Dortmund's defeats in the past three seasons.

It is said that people go to higher places, but now Getze has done the opposite and gone to a lower place......

Dortmund fans are naturally gloating about Gotze's current situation at Bayern Munich. Thinking he deserves it is the end of betrayal of Dortmund.

Munich have high hopes for Gotze, believing that he is not doing well at the moment, mainly due to an injury at the beginning of the season that caused him to miss the team's pre-season training camp and the first two rounds of the league.

Now that he's back from injury, of course, he still needs to find his form slowly.

Once he finds his form, it will give Bayern Munich a boost!

What do Borussia Dortmund's players think of the reunion with Gotze?

Rather than forgiving his former teammates, Grosskreutz told the media viciously: "I don't know if he's going to play, but if he does, I'll make him regret his decision!"

Zhou Yi was also asked about Ge Zer, and his attitude was much gentler: "Everyone has their own choice, it's not a big deal, it's been so long, there's no point in saying anything." As long as you can take responsibility for your choices. ”

Another reporter asked Zhou Yi: "Dortmund's current situation is very bad, if it loses to Bayern Munich, will it shatter Dortmund's dream of four consecutive league titles?"

Zhou Yi smiled when he heard this: "The league is long, who said that if you lose a game, the league championship will be useless?" This statement is too irresponsible, otherwise, wouldn't it be that the winning team must be undefeated to win the championship, and as long as you lose one, you won't be able to win the championship?"

"Does that mean you think losing to Bayern Munich is also an acceptable result?" a reporter immediately asked, feeling as if he had caught a big news.

Zhou Yi glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and showed a gentle smile: "Hehe." ”
