Chapter 161: Resignation and Stubbornness
When Shahin landed in the air and then fell to the ground immediately after, Klopp felt his heart stop beating, and he stared blankly at the helpless ankle, the pain and helplessness of Shahin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info A voice popped into his head, and the voice was repeating the same sentence in a whisper: "It's time, it's time to end......"
The voice silenced Klopp.
What should it be over?
Is it time for Dortmund's championship cycle to end?
In fact, as early as after Dortmund won the Champions League last season, whether Dortmund will flourish and decline is a question that many people are discussing.
So Dortmund will inevitably step down from the throne, and then, if nothing else, Bayern Munich will take their place, thus completing the transition of an era.
But Klopp was not reconciled, he didn't want to just accept his fate and act according to the general rules.
Who said I was going to go down if I climbed the mountain? Can't I just stay on the top of the mountain? The scenery at the top of the mountain is so lacking, can't I enjoy it for a while?
But now Klopp feels how ...... he was in the first place Amusing.
The reason why the laws of nature are laws shows that it is not something that can be stopped by one person.
There's some fatalism in it, but there's also understandable reasons.
Injury.
Since the start of the new season, there have been frequent injuries that have never been seen in Dortmund's previous consecutive titles.
Is this some kind of harbinger?
Or in a way, does it mean that the Dortmund team is aging and having problems?
Towards the halfway point of the season, Dortmund's injury situation not only did not improve, but instead sank deeper and deeper into the quagmire of injuries...... It's hard for any team to make a difference with this kind of injury wave.
Take this game as an example, after Zhou Yi equalized, Dortmund's momentum was actually very good. But with Sven Bender's injury, the momentum came to an abrupt halt. As the game drew to a close, Dortmund bounced back and made a comeback, at which point Shaheen was injured again......
Is it a sign that two consecutive key player injuries are a sign that Jurgen Klopp is not destined to win this game?
Klopp didn't want to think so, but reality forced him to think so.
Now it seems that a draw at home would be a good result for Borussia Dortmund......

"Oh, Shahin...... Shaheen ...... Shaheen sprained his ankle and he certainly couldn't hold on. Dortmund's luck in this game is really bad!" the South Korean commentator also sighed. The subtext in his heart was: "This is simply God wants Leverkusen to win! With such a good opportunity, how can Leverkusen be satisfied with a draw? Of course, he wants Dortmund to die while Dortmund is sick!"
The TV footage shows Shaheen slowly walking off the pitch with his head bowed and looking very frustrated, supported by two Dortmund team doctors.
Jurgen Klopp is no longer concerned with swearing, and he is warming up Piszczek to replace Shahin.
Why switch to a defender instead of Mkhitaryan?
Because Jurgen Klopp is well aware that Bayer Leverkusen will be on the back burner against Borussia Dortmund when the game resumes, and they will certainly be hoping to beat a disadvantaged Borussia Dortmund on the road.
At this time, you need to be solid in defense, so you need to replace a defender to strengthen the defense and avoid the tragedy of conceding a goal in the last moments.
Jurgen Klopp already feels that as long as he doesn't lose at home, it's a good result.
This is very helpless, but reality is stronger than people, and in the face of a strong fate, you have to bow your head if you don't bow your head. It's better to draw at home than to lose and be pulled further away by Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.
ā»ā»ā»
Piszczek warmed up as fast as he could, and then was substituted. On the pitch, Bayer Leverkusen are onslaught towards Borussia Dortmund's goal. As Klopp predicted, Bayer Leverkusen are not willing to settle for a draw on the road, and now Dortmund is almost at its weakest, and it would be a shame if Bayer Leverkusen can't win yet.
Borussia Dortmund shrank their whole team and fended off Bayer Leverkusen's attack with some embarrassment.
Looking at Dortmund's embarrassment, everyone thinks that it would be good for Dortmund to get a draw in this game. After all, they had two accidental injuries and substitutions in the game, and the game was no longer a test of the team's line-up, nor was it a test of Klopp's on-the-spot command...... "force majeure factors" made all of the above meaningless.
Zhou Yi was still waving his head around during the game, observing the situation.
But this time, he's not looking at the openings and the runs, he's watching the expressions of his teammates.
In the face of such an unfavorable situation, some people have painful expressions, some people have hideous expressions, and some people are slightly confused......
From their expressions, Zhou Yi could see what was going on in their hearts.
He set his sights on Yan Min, who used to frequently pose a threat to the opponent, but now he has also returned to the defensive third zone, participated in the defense, and almost became a fullback.
Sun Xingmin pulled to the side, intending to break through, but was destroyed by Yan Min with a very, very fierce tackle.
Yan Min was very decisive and fierce when he got off the ground, and his feet flew out, which even made people think that he was going to abolish Sun Xingmin...... Sun Xingmin was also so frightened that he hurriedly jumped up, so the ball at his feet was shoveled out of the sideline by Yan Min......
"What the hell!" the Korean commentator exclaimed when he saw this scene and loudly rebuked Yan Min. "It's too dangerous! It's a bad foul! It should be sent off! The Dortmund players have lost their normal mood, and now they are like powder kegs, ready to explode. I hope the referee can strictly enforce the ......"
He was very worried about Sun Xingmin's injury, and seeing Yan Min's action just now really scared him enough.
Yan Min's action was indeed scary, and the surrounding Leverkusen players immediately surrounded him when they saw this, fighting for their teammates.
Yan Min, on the other hand, is deeply surrounded by Bayer Leverkusen's players.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi hurriedly ran up, forcibly intervened in the crowd, and protected Yan Min behind him: "What are you doing, calm down!"
Zhou Yi has been famous for a long time, even if he is an opponent, he has to give him a little face, and it is impossible to say that he is in trouble with Zhou Yi.
Immediately afterwards, other Dortmund players also ran up, especially Grosskreutz, rushing up to protect their teammates, so the firepower of the Leverkusen players was attracted to him.
There was a huge boo at the Wester** stadium, which was given to the Leverkusen players by Dortmund fans. was originally at a disadvantage, and not being able to win at their home stadium was enough to make Dortmund fans unhappy, and now Leverkusen's players are going to find trouble for Dortmund players under their noses, how can Dortmund fans endure it?
Players from both sides were entangled, and with huge boos, a clash seemed inevitable.
At this time, the referee rushed up with a whistle and cooperated with the linesman to separate the players from both sides.
Then he turned around and gave Yan Min a yellow card!
This penalty naturally attracted a burst of boos from the stands, and other players at Dortmund were also dissatisfied, protesting around the referee, they thought that Yan Min had tackled the ball and did not touch Son Xingmin at all, Son Xingmin's action of jumping up was too exaggerated, even if it was a foul, it was enough to give a verbal warning, and it was too harsh to give a yellow card......
Yan Min didn't go up to the referee to theorize, of course, not because he had a good mentality, but because he was pulled away by Zhou Yi.
"Well done. ā
Yan Min thought that Zhou Yi pulled him away to teach him a lesson, and his actions just now were too reckless, and he also delayed the game time. Unexpectedly, after Zhou Yi pulled him aside, he opened his mouth to praise him? He was stunned - this is still a good job? Where is it a good job!
Zhou Yi continued to smile and said: "Look at their color a little, don't let them think that we are so resigned to our fate...... Do you think you can get a draw in this situation?" he asked again.
"What are you kidding, this is our home stadium!" Yan Min said loudly, implying that in our home stadium, how could we get a draw with peace of mind?
Hearing Yan Min's answer, Zhou Yi put his hand on his shoulder: "That's right, this is our home field." You have to move forward if you have a chance, and you can't just be pressed in the half by them all the time. You try to take the ball forward, I'll follow you, and if you feel too much resistance, pass the ball to me...... Remember, after passing the ball, keep running, you don't have to think about what I do with the ball, you just run forward. You run forward and don't catch the ball, it's mine. But if you don't run forward, it's your responsibility. ā
Zhou Yi said, Yan Min nodded: "No problem!"
Despite the fact that there were only ten minutes left in the game, the situation was extremely unfavorable for Dortmund, but the young man did not lose his fighting spirit.
It's like that tackle, it's a kind of stubbornness.
