Chapter 320: Synchronization
The final battle is close at hand, and there is news before the game, because Bayern Munich also has a theoretical possibility of winning the championship, so the Bundesliga has prepared two sets of plans and two championship plates. But one of the two championship trophies is genuine, and the other is a replica.
The authentic medal will be taken to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin and presented to Dortmund if it wins the prize.
The replica was taken to the Allianz Arena, and if Bayern Munich finally completed a miraculous comeback to win the title, the medal will appear at Bayern Munich's medal ceremony.
However, this makes many Bayern Munich fans unhappy - the real thing goes to Dortmund's game, and the replica comes to the Allianz Arena, doesn't this show that the Bundesliga official believes that Dortmund can win the championship? This is discrimination!
Others have sublimated it to conspiracy theories, arguing that it proves that the Bundesliga officials favor Dortmund and have already decided that Dortmund are league champions.
Dortmund fans and the media certainly have to fight back against this statement, they ridiculed Bayern Munich's side for not being able to afford to lose, and there have been many situations like this in history, so why haven't we seen Bayern Munich media and fans make a fuss?
I am still entangled in this kind of trivial problem, in fact, it is the mentality that I can't afford to lose.
And it highlights the desperation of Bayern Munich's side - if there is another way to send it, will they still care about such a small thing?
It is not uncommon to know that this kind of preparation of two sets of plans is not uncommon, and even Munich's own media have made two sets of reports before the final round of the competition.
Bayern Munich won the championship and reported using option 1, while Bayern Munich lost the championship and reported using option 2.

Finally, in anticipation, the final round of the Bundesliga is about to kick off.
Because the difference between the third-to-last Hamburg and the fourth-to-last Stuttgart is five points, the gap is too big, so in fact, the suspense of relegation is gone.
18th in the league, Braunschweig, and 17th in the league, Nuremberg, will be relegated directly to the Bundesliga.
Sixteenth-placed Hamburg will play a two-legged home-and-away relegation play-off against third-placed third place in the Second Division.
So now the league is left with the suspense of the championship and the suspense of Champions League qualification.
Champions League qualification is also a battle for Champions League qualification - Bayer Leverkusen have lost to Borussia Dortmund before that, so they are the same as Wolfsburg in terms of points, but they have a goal difference of seven more than Wolfsburg, so as long as they can win the last round of the league, and Wolfsburg do not beat Borussia Mönchengladbach at home by more than eight goals, Bayer Leverkusen will hold on to fourth place in the league and thus qualify for the Champions League play-offs.
Bayer Leverkusen's opponent in the final round is Werder Bremen.
Yang Muge's Schalke 04 has also locked in the qualification for next season's Champions League in advance. They now have 61 points, four ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who have 57 points, and have qualified for the Champions League one round earlier.
The biggest suspense is actually who will win the league title between Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Although Bayern Munich's odds of winning the tournament are low, and the odds offered by bookmakers are not favourable to them, the most attractive thing about football is that there are many miracles that can be created that they would never even dare to imagine.
Just like who would have thought that Dortmund could turn the tables after being completely suppressed by Bayern Munich for two consecutive seasons?
In addition, there is a suspense in the final round of the league, that is, the suspense of who will be the top scorer in the league.
Mark Wagner currently leads the scoring charts with 20 goals, with Robert Lewandowski second with 19 goals.
In the final round of the league, it's up to who gets the top scorer.
As for the battle for the assist king, there is no suspense.
Zhou Yi is currently well ahead of all other players with 23 assists. Second on the assist list is Zhou Yi's teammate Royce, who has only thirteen assists. Zhou Yi has ten more than him.
Some media ridiculed that in the case of Zhou Yi, don't discuss the assist list, it makes no sense.

At half past nine in the evening on May 10, Beijing time, all nine matches in the final round of the Bundesliga kicked off at the same time.
China's CCTV sports channel broadcast Borussia Dortmund's away game against Hertha Berlin, while Bayern Munich and Stuttgart played on the paid Fengyun football channel.
Since Zhou Yi joined Dortmund, as long as the two teams play at the same time, this is basically a fixed match.
There will never be a situation where Dortmund will be sent to a premium channel, so that the fans' saliva will drown the CCTV building......
After the start of the game, Dortmund, who were playing away, did not rush and attack as soon as they came up, and they played steadily according to the previous tactical arrangement.
On the other hand, Hertha Berlin is relegation-free, without any desire, but this is their home stadium after all, and they are not willing to let Dortmund easily lift the championship trophy at their home stadium, so it is impossible to surrender directly.
It won't be easy for Dortmund to beat them.
At the same time, Bayern Munich played against Stuttgart, and Bayern Munich bombarded Stuttgart's goal indiscriminately at the beginning of the game.
They will have to make sure they win first and then look at the results of the match between Borussia Dortmund and Hertha Berlin.
What about Stuttgart? They are also relegation-free and have no desires, but they also don't want to let themselves become the backdrop for Bayern Munich's ascent to the top.
In the face of Bayern Munich's indiscriminate bombardment, they tightened the fence and shrunk their defense.
For a while, Bayern Munich was unable to break through Stuttgart's goal.
Of course, what made them feel a little better was that on the other side, Borussia Dortmund were not able to score either.
※※※
This goalless situation didn't last long.
Twenty-one minutes into the game, Bayern, who was fighting at home and attacking with all their might, finally broke the deadlock on the field.
At that time, Gotze forced his way into the box with the ball and was tripped by Stuttgart's Japanese defender Takatoku Sakai.
The referee did not hesitate to award a penalty.
Similarly, Lewandowski did not hesitate to snatch the penalty spot.
Everyone also knew that he was competing with Mark for the top scorer, so no one came up to express his dissatisfaction.
Lewandowski set up the ball and then made it happen in one fell swoop.
The football flew into the Stuttgart goal, and the Allianz Arena resounded with a huge cheer.
In the midst of this cheer, the first thing that sounded in the Bayern Munich coach's box was the news about Dortmund: "There are no goals over there!"
That's when everyone began to celebrate and cheer.
"Bayern Munich has scored!" on the TV screen, and immediately played the instant league standings.
With this goal, Bayern Munich is now considered a victory, and if the games all end with the current scoreline, then Bayern Munich will return to the top of the league table by one point, and Bayern Munich will surpass Borussia Dortmund to become the league champions.
The entire Allianz Arena was cheered.
※※※
The news of the Allianz Arena quickly reached Dortmund, and someone in the Dortmund coaching staff immediately received the news, and assistant coach Bouache wanted to relay it to Klopp, and he called: "Hey, Jürgen. ”
Klopp didn't respond to him, but stared at the pitch.
Now on the pitch, Borussia Dortmund are on the offensive and have reached the edge of the Hertha Berlin penalty area.
Because this is not Dortmund's home stadium, when Bayern Munich scored, there was no sound from the stands to remind them.
Borussia Dortmund's players can play with their full focus and without interruption.
Everyone was running and adapting, and the situation on the pitch was changing rapidly.
Zhou Yi was able to find an opportunity in it.
Now he saw an opportunity.
Yan Min tried to cut inside from the left and he caught the attention of the Hertha Berlin players, while Mark quietly switched positions with him and moved to the left flank.
Because of Yan Min's inward cut, he took away Hertha Berlin right-back Peter Pecarrick, who was already following him, and he also attracted central defender Lankamp, who was defending in this area.
And Mark's side is a vacancy.
Observation and thinking are only a matter of a moment, Zhou Yi did not stop at his feet, and after adjusting it, he directly sent out an over-the-top pick-up pass!
The football went straight to Mark on the left side!
And Mark was there, and with almost no one marking, he calmly padded the football with his chest, and then directly volleyed it with his foot!
The ball went straight to the top corner, and Hertha Berlin's goalkeeper Kraft made a save, but Mark's back-volley from his chest was so fluid that Kraft had a very, very short reaction time and he couldn't save the ball......
The ball flew into the goal almost grazing the lower edge of the goalpost!
Klopp jumped from his seat, raised his arms and shouted.
Then he turned around and asked Bouács, "Hey, Gerlico, what did you just want to say to me?"
"Uh...... It doesn't matter. Bwach spread his hands, then stood up and high-fived the person next to him in celebration.
Behind Jurgen Klopp were the Borussia Dortmund players running towards Mark with their arms raised to celebrate the goal.

Pep Guardiola had just finished his celebrations as he sat down and the Bayern Munich players returned to their own half.
At this time, Hermann Grande's face sank and he hesitated, but he still leaned into Guardiola's ear and whispered: "Dortmund also scored, just ...... just now"
Because the Allianz Arena was still very noisy at this time, Guardiola did not hear Grande's words clearly, and he asked again: "What did you say, Herman?"
"I mean, damn Borussia Dortmund scored too!" Herrmann had to raise his voice to answer Guardiola. "Sync with us!"
Now, Guardiola heard clearly.
Instead of swearing, he froze there, like a deflated ball......
