18 April 2009.

Bundesliga 27th round.

There was silence at the Ruhr Stadium, Bochum's home stadium.

The score on the big screen showed why the Bochum fans at the scene had such desperate expressions on their faces.

The score was three to zero.

However, the game only went to the 39th minute of the first half.

Even if the Bochum team tried desperately to defend, they held a draw in exchange for a point.

Even in order to be able to successfully defend the whole game.

Marcel Kohler, the decorated coach who led Bochum to the first division, lined up with a 541 formation.

But it still couldn't stop Dortmund's attack.

It can be said that after a season of running-in, Dortmund's attack has become more and more complete and sharp.

However, the Dortmund players and fans did not feel much joy.

Winning a Bochum team is not something to be particularly happy about.

The most important thing is that Bayern Munich returned to the Bundesliga without being affected by the defeat in the Champions League.

They also won 4-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The difference between the two sides is still 3 points.

This also made Dortmund's players even more anxious.

The vast majority of the players in this young squad have never won any titles in the top flight.

Everyone is desperate to win the first title of their career in the top flight this season!

Even the most anxious are not the young players such as Han Ning, Gotze and Kante.

It's the veteran players who are about to enter the end of their careers, or even retire soon.

This season should be the closest they have come to winning the top flight!

Only winning this season will give them the greatest glory of their careers.

I have to say that in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich's dominance is not a good phenomenon for the entire Bundesliga.

The competitiveness of the league as a whole has taken a certain impact, and it has also made the possibility of most players wanting to win the glory much lower.

Time passed, and the league was also carried out round by round.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are on a winning streak.

At this most critical moment, neither side dropped the chain.

Dortmund fans don't know how to describe their mood at this point.

Borussia Dortmund's performance this season has already surprised them.

I thought that this season, if I could get a place in Europe, it would be a perfect ending.

However, with the final rounds of the tournament remaining, Dortmund still have the possibility of winning the title!

This makes them feel satisfied and expectant, and at the same time a little worried.

If Dortmund can really win the league title this season, it will be their first top-flight title in seven years.

It also represents the beginning of Dortmund's rise.

But if you don't win the league championship this season, although I am very satisfied, it seems that there is a thorn in it.

There's no one who doesn't love a happy ending.

The most important thing is that in the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich did not come back to win.

It can even be said that it is the abandonment of the Champions League.

A semi-main and semi-substitute lineup was dispatched, and Barcelona, who also sent a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, played a 1-1 scoreline.

While Bayern Munich was eliminated, it also means that the focus of their next games will be all in the Bundesliga.

This is not good news for Borussia Dortmund.

................

Bundesliga 33rd round.

This round of matches is the one that all Dortmund fans are most concerned about.

The reason is simple.

In this game, Bayern Munich's opponent is Dortmund's sworn enemy Schalke 04!

There has never been a moment when Dortmund fans wished their arch-rivals Schalke 04 a win.

At the end of the league, with the exception of the final round, Borussia Dortmund faced Bayern Munich.

None of Bayern Munich's remaining league opponents have the quality to have a chance of beating Bayern Munich.

Moreover, this season, Schalke 04 is third in the league standings, and according to the Bundesliga's points in European competition, only the top three will qualify for the Champions League.

If you want to catch up with second place, it is impossible to catch up with Dortmund.

The difference in points between the two teams is already more than nine points.

But it's hard to keep the third place.

Schalke 04 is just one point away from fourth-placed Hamburg!

In other words, if you want to keep this third place, you must win all three games.

Fortunately, Dortmund fans don't need to worry about whether Schalke 04 will release water to Bayern Munich, so that Dortmund will not win the league title.

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The Dortmund fans were nervous from this moment on.

In the 4th minute of the first half, Bayern Munich attacked, Ribery forced a breakthrough with speed on the side, and was knocked to the ground by Schalke 04's player Krstadzic with a sliding tackle, and Krstaddzic received a yellow card.

After this yellow card, Bayern Munich's attack became unusually fierce.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, Schalke 04 was almost pressed into his own half, and he couldn't even take a step.

It wasn't until the twenty-first minute of the game that the situation took a turn!

Bayern Munich's Schweinsteiger's long-range shot in front of the penalty line was held by Schalke 04's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer with both hands due to the angle being too square, and then he threw the ball with a strong hand near the halfway line.

Schalke 04's three frontcourt players, Rakitic, Kuranyi and Hao Junmin, started a quick counter-attack.

After receiving Neuer's pass, Kuranyi passed it directly back to Hao Junmin.

Then Hao Junmin broke through quickly with the ball, and at the moment when the Bayern Munich defender was in front of him, he passed the ball directly to Rakitic in front of him.

Rakitic held the ball and continued to sprint forward.

Due to the previous Bayern Munich offensive was too fierce, most of the players were near the Schalke 04 penalty area, and it was too late to return to the defense.

Now Bayern Munich has only two defenders defending in the half.

With a three-on-three situation at half-time, it can be said that Schalke 04's counterattack opportunity is quite good!

Rakitic took the ball to the right side of the road about six or seven meters in front of Bayern Munich's penalty line, and suddenly reversed and rushed towards the middle.

Then a through ball was passed to Kuranyi.

Kuranyi faced Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Bout, stood up against the defenders around him, and shot directly at the goal.

"Bang!"

"Huh!"

The ball scurried out from under Bout's open arms and straight into the door of Bayern Munich!
