Borussia Dortmund stumbled to win the game, and after nine rounds of league games, they have won seven, drawn one and lost one, scored 22 goals, conceded seven goals, and have a goal difference of 15, accumulating 22 points and ranking second. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They have been overtaken in the standings by Bayern, who have been consistent since the new season.

At the same time, he was chased by Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen are now tied with them on 22 points, but they have less goal difference, so they are in third place. But if Dortmund are not consistent, it may only be a matter of time before they are overtaken by Bayer Leverkusen.

Chinese fans are very dissatisfied with Klopp's lack of use of Yan Min in such a situation. They thought that since the team was having problems, they should try more solutions. The media has said that Yan Min is very hard in training, why not give Yan Min a chance?

That Jonas Hoffman, because he scored a goal off the bench before, is now almost every time he comes off the bench. He has made seven substitute appearances.

But apart from that goal, he never put in a convincing performance.

This makes the Chinese fans very unhappy -- does Klopp trust that Hoffman so much? What can he trust?

Everyone was upset for Yan Min.

In addition, I care about when Zhou Yi will be able to make a comeback.

Zhou Yi was injured in the Champions League group stage against Napoli on September 18. According to official Dortmund sources, it is said that Zhou Yi will miss a month of competition.

So now after the ninth round of the league, it is September 19, exactly one month.

Borussia Dortmund will be away to Arsenal in the Champions League group stage next week, will Zhou Yi be able to make a comeback?

In fact, this is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, not only the fans in China, but also the media fans in Germany and England.

If Zhou Yi can make a successful comeback, Dortmund will not have a chance to win even if they challenge Arsenal away. This is definitely a shot in the arm for the team.

After a month of Zhou Yi's absence, everyone has seen that Zhou Yi's importance to Dortmund is not only reflected in tactics, but also in terms of mental importance. Dortmund can win without Zhou Yi, but it feels like a stroke of luck, if you are lucky, you win, and if you are unlucky, you lose.

When Zhou Yi was there, Dortmund's game didn't give people this feeling.

With Zhou Yi on the field, everyone is very relieved, whether it is a Dortmund fan watching the game, or a Dortmund player playing football, everyone is very relieved.

Zhou Yi was absent, and everyone suddenly lost their backbone. When you play well, you think that the good form can be continued in the next game, right? No, Dortmund will be able to slap those people in the face with an embarrassing victory or defeat. If there are difficulties, then basically the defeat is irretrievable.

Although Zhou Yi has only been absent for a month, everyone already misses him very, very much, and it is very unlikely that he will be able to come back soon.

Since Dortmund officially announced that he needs to be out for a month, it has been a month now, is it possible to come back?

Everyone is looking forward to Zhou Yi's comeback.

Dortmund's coaching staff is actually the same, even more urgent than those on the outside.

But no matter how urgent it is, it must be done in accordance with the laws of science.

Whether Zhou Yi can play or not, Zhou Yi himself doesn't count, and Klopp, the head coach, doesn't count.

The most authoritative of these are the results of the physical examination.

Zhou Yi underwent a very rigorous physical examination at the training base to determine if he would be able to play against Arsenal.

Now Klopp, Zolke and Dr. Braun have come together to study the results.

"So what does this result mean is that Zhou Yi can play against Arsenal?" Zork asked Dr Braun with the results of the report.

"Theoretically, that's true. Dr. Braun nodded, emphasizing "theoretically."

"But?" Zolke waited for him to turn.

'But I don't recommend him playing the day after tomorrow. Dr. Braun said. 'I think he's just in the right fit to play, but it's still a long way from his best fitness. And the midweek game is going to be intense and I'm worried that I'm going to get him injured again in the confrontation. ”

Dr. Braun stated his reasoning.

After listening to this, Zolke hesitated: "Shall we let him come on as a substitute in the second half?

He still hopes that Zhou Yi will be able to play, and now Dortmund are suffering from injuries and a slump in form. If Zhou Yi can return, it will be great news.

"But what's the point of that? Don't you want him to play, not to win?" Dr. Braun asked.

"This ...... If I can win, of course, it would be good, but I don't force it, I don't force it...... "Zork really doesn't force it to take over now, he thinks that if Zhou Yi can play safely for a while, even if he loses the game in the end, the pressure on Dortmund will be reduced a lot, and it will be exciting news for the media and fans.

"Since it's not about winning, there's no need to let him play, rest for a while, let him get back to his best condition, or a little better than now...... Dr. Braun insisted on his opinion, that is, not to let Zhou Yi play in this game, not even for a minute. 'If you want to feel like a game, there's a better fit than the Champions League group stage, and there's no need to test the waters with a game that's important for Borussia Dortmund. ”

"Then it's always okay to get him in the squad, right? You don't have to play, or whether you can play or not depends on Jurgen's opinion......" Zorke still wanted to fight for it.

But his words kicked the ball to Klopp's side, and both he and Dr. Braun looked at Klopp to hear his opinion.

Klopp shook his head: "I don't plan to let Zhou Yi go to London. ”

Dr. Braun laughed, and Zolke was a little disappointed, but instead of arguing with Klopp, he chose to respect: "Okay, you have the final say, Jurgen." ”

"Thank you. Klopp smiled at Zolke and thanked him for his understanding and support.

The matter was settled, and Klopp did not explain why he didn't take Zhou Yi to London.

Although Zhou Yi has been practicing with the whole team, he has only practiced together for less than a week, and he feels that even if he takes it to London, it is useless, and he still occupies a place.

※※※

Since you have decided not to take Zhou Yi to London, who exactly should you bring to London?

Basically, as long as there are no injuries, the main players must all be brought.

The good news is that Weidenfeller can return to the main line-up, in addition to him, Hummels and Subotic are both there, and Schmelzer has also returned to London. But Piszczek was not able to do so, so Grosskreutz had to continue playing at right-back on the pitch.

In midfield, Sven Bender has long since recovered from injury and will partner Shaheen in a central midfield position.

Zhou Yi's original position belonged to Mkhitaryan, and he was in the center. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reus split between left and right, with Mark at the front.

That's the starting line-up for Borussia Dortmund.

This is not difficult to arrange, if Dortmund can't even get a starting lineup, then the problem is big.

Mainly on the bench.

Some time ago, when the manpower was at its tightest, Klopp could only put one defender on the bench every game, and if there was a change in the back line, there were very few means to respond. It's a little better now, Schmelzer is back, Doom can be back on the bench. Another defender who has been on the bench for a long time is Greek centre-back Papastatopoulos.

Now that Weidenfeller is back in the main line-up, Langerak will continue to be his back-up goalkeeper.

In midfield, the usual set-ups were Kuba, Hofmann and Kirsch. Somewhere between a starter and a substitute, Kouba has started four times in the league this season, making four substitute appearances and scoring one goal. He is currently the best and strongest player on the bench in Dortmund's midfield.

Hofmann has always been trusted by the coaching staff because of his good performances in the early stages of the season, but there has been a trend of mediocre performances in recent games, and he has been inconsistent and less able to withstand pressure under great pressure.

Kirsch has a slightly less presence, having been named in the squad four times but only made one substitute appearance.

There's a substitute up front, Sheebel. He has been in the squad six times in the league, but has only made one appearance.

Although Klopp wants to rotate, after the start of the league, the team has been on the injured list, so Klopp can't rotate, so the lineup is relatively fixed.

In addition, the reason why Hofmann has been able to stay in the squad and come off the bench many times is also related to the fact that Dortmund's current midfielders are too injured. If Kyle and Gundogan were both healthy, Hoffman would not have been on the 18-man squad.

There is no controversy about the defenders and striker substitutes, because there is no option at all.

All eyes fell on the midfield substitutes.

Of course, Kuba is going to be on the squad.

But Hoffman and Kirsch ......

Do you want to continue to take them to London?

"Who else is there if you don't take them?" said the coaching staff arguing about who should be in the squad. In fact, the coaching staff is also dissatisfied with the performance of Hoffman and Kirsch. But there is no better person to use. If Zhou Yi is not injured, if Gundogan is not injured, if Kyle is not injured...... How did it take the turn of these two young men to be in the squad every game?

"Actually, there are still people. Assistant coach Bwach said suddenly. "Yan Min's training during this period is quite positive. ”

"He's always been positive......"

"Of course, and he's doing pretty well in training. I think it was possible to replace Kirsch with him. Bwach looked at Klopp.

"Hmm...... I'm okay with that. Klopp was noncommittal.

"That's it!" Bucci finally decided. No one from the coaching staff objected, and they didn't expect these youngsters to do anything anyway, and Hofmann was okay with the youngsters, but it was difficult to do anything in the face of the team's current predicament.

Borussia Dortmund have won the league title for three consecutive seasons and the European Championship last season. You can't just rely on young people, after so many years of training, what this team needs is the middle generation, they are the mainstay, those young people who have just been transferred from the youth team, the second team to the first team, are ready for the future, not the present.
