Chapter 124: You can't keep a low profile

In fact, Dortmund was not just forced to draw by Fortuna Dusseldorf, in this game, they still went to captain Kehl. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kyle was injured in the 68th minute of the game and was unable to continue the game and was substituted.

After the examination, he has bid farewell to the first half of the Bundesliga in advance, and he will have to wait until the second half to return from injury.

Kyle as a veteran, this season has surprised many, he has not been bothered by injuries before, and he has maintained good form, during the period of Gundogan's injury, he and Sven Caeder formed a double midfield, providing him with protection behind Zhou Yi, so that he can organize attacks in front of him with peace of mind.

It can be said that Dortmund can play on both fronts in the Champions League and the league this season, and his role cannot be ignored.

He was in such good condition that after Gundogan recovered from injury, he couldn't regain the main position from him for a while, so he could only play as a substitute first. Fortunately, Klopp rotated and did not let Gundogan fall into a situation where he had no ball to play.

But as a veteran who is almost thirty-three years old, injuries still found him.

His injury is considered by the media to have a great impact on Dortmund. Before the game against Bayern Munich, Kyle's injury was definitely not inconsequential news.

Borussia Dortmund were held to a somewhat unexpected draw by Fortuna Dusseldorf, while Bayern Munich beat Freiburg 2-0 away to stretch the gap back to four points.

In the next round of the league, there will be a direct meeting between the two teams, with Borussia Dortmund away to Bayern Munich.

If Borussia Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich away from home, they can close the five-point gap to two.

And if Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund at home, they could take advantage of the situation to extend the four-point gap to seven points and win the Bundesliga halfway two rounds ahead of schedule.

Winning the Winter Break title is a huge part of the Bundesliga title race.

After this round of strong talks, both teams will face their Champions League group stage.

Borussia Dortmund's final round of the Champions League group stage was against Manchester City at their home stadium, and there was little point in this game, as Dortmund had already qualified for the top of the group and Manchester City had been eliminated early. The only suspense was in that match between Real Madrid and Ajax. Real Madrid were held to a draw by Manchester City in the last round and have only seven points, while Ajax were beaten by Borussia Dortmund with four points. If Ajax can beat Real Madrid by a big score in the final group stage, then they will surpass Real Madrid and become second in the group with Real Madrid on the same points.

But to be honest, the likelihood of that happening is very, very low.

There's no way Real Madrid will capsize in the gutter.

Bayern Munich's final group stage is at home to Borisov, the weakest team in their group.

Although they are fighting Atletico Madrid for the top spot in the group, the suspense should not be too great. Bayern Munich can't afford to lose at home to the weakest team in this group anyway.

So in fact, the next Champions League group stage will not have much impact on both teams in the league.

They can field the strongest squad other than those who are on the injury list.

This time, Klopp didn't opt for rotation.

The match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich is the most high-profile match of this round of the Bundesliga, and the whole world is watching this game.

It's a revenge game for Bayern Munich, who are sure to beat Borussia Dortmund at home. In the first two seasons in the league, they were firmly suppressed by Borussia Dortmund, and they have missed out on the league title for two consecutive seasons. Their momentum this season would have been good, with eight consecutive league wins and a lead.

As a result, he is now being chased by Dortmund little by little. It seems that Dortmund do not want to give up the league title this season either.

However, Bayern Munich have more confidence in themselves this season, and since Dortmund are not willing to give up, they will use results to learn to let go.

As long as they can beat them in direct dialogue with Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich will have the upper hand on the road to the league title.

Therefore, before the game, all the soldiers of Bayern Munich spoke through various channels to express their determination.

Schweinsteiger said in an interview that in his opinion, Dortmund this season is not as strong as the previous two seasons, and if you want to break through in the Champions League, you must learn to give up some games.

“...... For a team like Borussia Dortmund that lacks bench depth, the Champions League and the league are incompatible. My personal experience is that if Jurgen Klopp wants to get a better result in the Champions League, they have to give up the league. If you want both, the end result is likely to be a bad result in either race...... I'm not saying this to make Dortmund deliberately abandon the league, but just to give them a little experience as a two-way player......"

This is said with a sense of superiority. However, people do have such qualifications, as a Bayern Munich player, this kind of two-front battle was very rich at that time. And in the whole of Germany, only Bayern Munich can achieve good results in the case of fighting on two fronts. In front of Borussia Dortmund, it is normal for Bayern Munich to have a sense of superiority.

In response, Dortmund's number one big mouth, Grosskloyz, retorted: "Thanks to the Bayern Munich players for their advice, but I have a hard time believing that their experience is valid. Because they 'gave up' the league title last season and were beaten by Chelsea in the Champions League final, I can't believe the experience of the underdogs......

It's nothing short of rubbing salt in Bayern Munich's wounds.

Last season, Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena and the whole team vowed to win the title on their home turf. The media, bookmakers and fans were also bullish on the more experienced Bayern Munich before the game.

The result?

Bayern Munich lost to Chelsea on penalties in front of tens of thousands of home fans, missing out on the title.

This is simply a bigger blow to Bayern Munich than being robbed of the league title by Borussia Dortmund for two consecutive seasons

......

Now Grosskloitz will naturally anger Bayern Munich with this matter.

In a tense atmosphere, Zhou Yi did not participate in the war of words, and a reporter came to him to hear his opinion.

"I don't have a problem with that. This is only the fifteenth round of the league, and there are still nineteen rounds before the end of the league, and the victory or defeat of one game does not say anything. Don't act like this one game will decide the league title. It's better to focus on the game itself. ”

He was indifferent.

Although Zhou Yi is very low-key and calm, but after the start of the game, he can't be low-key at all, as the core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi is naturally a player that Bayern Munich focuses on.

Javi Martinez followed him every step of the way, limiting his range of motion.

The others were ready to press him in and trap him.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhou Yi be low-key?

However, Zhou Yi was not surprised by such a battle, and he did not feel a headache. Whether it is in the virtual space competition or in the real competition, he has encountered such a situation countless times, and it would be too hypocritical if he would be surprised at this time.

He has accumulated a wealth of experience to deal with such situations.

This season, his fitness is much better than before. But not because of any special training he did before this season, but because of his unremitting physical training in previous seasons, the foundation was finally solidified.

With physical support, to deal with this annoying defense, just run. Keep running, running from left to right, running from back to front, don't stay on the pitch, don't stop, keep changing your position, then sooner or later the defender will not be able to keep up with his rhythm.

That's what Zhou Yi did.

In the face of Bayern Munich's targeted defense, he also made a targeted response. He can be seen almost anywhere on the pitch, whether in his own corner flag or in the Bayern Munich penalty area.

Even if he doesn't have the ball, as long as someone else is in that position, it will be a problem and a threat for Bayern Munich.

Although Javi Martinez was responsible for defending Zhou Yi, he couldn't throw away his position and just follow Zhou Yi. In that case, Zhou Yi went to the side, Martinez also pulled out, wouldn't the middle be empty? Let other Bayern Munich players come to the middle to make up the defense, then the area where the supplementary defender was originally located will not be empty?

Defense is a whole, it is a link, a problem, will inevitably affect the whole, the so-called pull a hair and move the whole body to use in defense is really suitable.

So Zhou Yi ran like this, which made Javi Martinez very painful, to follow or not to follow?

If you follow, your place will be gone, and if you don't, you can't turn a blind eye to watching him create threats and troubles elsewhere, right?

In the face of such a running Zhou Yi, not only Javi Martinez is in a dilemma, but Bayern Munich's head coach Heynckes is also a headache.

During the period when Zhou Yi's physical fitness was not good, he could force him to run by pressing closely, so that he would consume a lot of physical strength during the run, and finally play abnormally because of physical exhaustion.

But now, after Zhou Yi obviously improved his short physical fitness, he didn't even need the defender to force him to run anymore, he himself began to run all over the field! )
