Chapter 15: Knock Your Horse, Come Again?
had a relatively happy Christmas, and many of Dort's diehard Christmas wishes probably thought that the team could win more games and win more championships.
Superstition is not advisable, but at least I saw the improvement of the team - the last game was won.
This game, against Augsburg, which is not very strong, has a high probability of winning, and even in the eyes of many Hornets fans, this is a game that must be won.
However, this game is still insignificant for the overall league situation, because Bayern have too much to lead.
But there is still a lot to see in this competition.
For example, in the early morning of January 5, Bayern Munich announced on its official website that the team had signed Polish striker Robert Lewandowski on a free transfer.
Knock you horse!
Again?!
"Quadruple winners Bayern Munich are one step closer to perfection. Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who has only six months left on his contract with Borussia Dortmund, arrived in Munich on Saturday (January 4) for a medical examination and passed the medical examination, and then signed a contract with Bayern Munich for the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2019. One of the best goalscorers in the Bundesliga and Europe is set to move on a free transfer this summer. ”
When I saw this news, everyone felt a sense of helplessness in their hearts that they had finally arrived, and then there was anger.
In fact, it is no secret that Lewandowski is not Bayern and does not marry. Now, with only half a year left on his contract, the 25-year-old Pole is free to approach his new club and quickly finalise a transfer.
Last season's Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid shocked the world of football.
And now, it's the shock of Westphalia.
Boo, when Lewandowski's name rang out at the scene, many fans booed.
Since joining Borussia Dortmund from Lech Poznań in the summer of 2010, Lewandowski has scored 65 goals in 115 Bundesliga games and has been a hero for the Hornets over the years.
In the end, the two sides tore their faces, which is really a matter of people.
Previously, Götze defected to Bayern, and in the eyes of Dort fans, this move dealt a big blow to the revival of his own team, and also broke the plan of Dort's top management.
According to the original plan, Dortmund wanted to sell Lewandowski after the 12-13 season, hoping to go to a bigger club.
At that time, the senior management did not want to break the salary balance, and rejected Lewandowski's request for a salary increase under the condition of erecting Gotze as the core, and Bayern offered 30 million to buy Lewandowski, who only had one year left on his contract, which was intended to be sold.
However, Bayern directly smashed the liquidated damages to sign Götze, which is a bit benevolent... After all, when it was announced, it wasn't even the Champions League final...
Unexpectedly, the final was really a battle between two teams, and the rout of the Champions League final was a great blow to Dortmund.
And because Götze left, he had to force Lewandowski to stay... It even made Dort and Chelsea bad to a certain extent. Because Chelsea also wanted to buy Lewandowski and did not succeed, they refused to sell De Bruyne to Dortmund when they sold him, and according to the grapevine of The Sun, De Bruyne still preferred to join Dortmund.
But all of this doesn't matter.
After all, soap operas will blow up one day, and the important thing is to look forward!
After all these years, Hornet fans have long been accustomed to the people of Westphalia.
What about a Lewandowski?
We're here for Mkhitaryan, we're here for Aubameyang!
Oh...
In the last game, there was a Xiao Wen!
What about Xiao Qianren?
Fill someone's shoes?
In this game, Dortmund's defense was still unorganized, and Klopp used Sven Bender to partner Papastathopoulos.
The midfield is also stretched, but thanks to a trio of them, Shaheen, Kyle and Bouszcitchows still have Klopp's trust.
The only thing that displeased fans was that Aubameyang and Reus actually had to partner with Lewandowski.
But the problem is, the ideas of the top management and the head coach should be a little more rational, why did I give Lewandowski a salary increase, and I don't need it, stupid?
No one will have trouble with money, and few people will not care about the money spent, after all, it was once a piece of meat on their body.
Therefore, it is a fact that Lewandowski left, but the capitalists still need to squeeze out the last bit of juice from him.
Augsburg continued with the starting 11 from the 1-1 draw away to Eintracht Frankfurt in the last round.
The Augsburg coach on the sidelines has been in high spirits lately.
After leading Augsburg through the first half of the most successful Bundesliga campaign in history, the 39-year-old coach Weinzier received an early Christmas gift.
Augsburg announced on Sunday that it had renewed its contract with Weinzier, whose original contract expired in 2015, until 30 June 2017.
In fact, Augsburg has played really well this half season.
They are now in eighth place, the highest ranking since the team went to the Bundesliga. You must know that in the past two seasons, Augsburg was in the direct relegation zone during the winter break, and it was only with the help of the late stage that it was magically relegated.
After taking over from Lühkey at the helm of Augsburg last season, Weinzier endured a painful half-season run-in. After learning from experience, he led the team to work hard from the beginning this season, creating a series of good results, including the first Bundesliga 3 consecutive wins, the first Bundesliga single game to score 4 goals, etc., and entered the winter break with a five-game unbeaten streak to stay away from the relegation zone.
In this game, they are not here to travel.
However, after the last reversal, Dort's momentum is still there.
Less than four minutes into the game, Błaszczykowski sprained his right knee while trying to tackle Osterrowek and collapsed on the sidelines for treatment. Just when it was 10 to 11, Dortmund opened the scoring: Reuss quickly hoisted a free kick diagonally into the penalty area on the left side of the midfield, Bender quickly stepped forward, and ran 6 meters away at the back point to grab a header in front of the attacking Hitz and the defending Osterzoleck, 1-0.
It's just this bump that makes Bwaszczykowski look a little uncomfortable since then, which makes Xiao Wen keep watching Klopp.
The game then goes into a white-knuckle battle, you stab me, and I return you a sword.
Reus missed a one-on-one and Lewandowski hit the crossbar.
On Augsburg's side, Timo Werner collapsed in the penalty area, the referee turned a blind eye, and Weinzier was furious, yelling at the fourth official to take the initiative to apply for a Topaz card.
At halftime, Klopp asked Boułaszczykowski if he was okay, and Boupan patted his chest, of course he was a man.
However, Dort's lack of concentration this season is not good.
In the 56th minute, Augsburg finally played a smooth match, Verhag's right rib broke through the outside instep straight plug, Hahn crossed on the right, and Bender put a shovel 6 meters away from the front point, 1-1.
Klopp was stunned for a few seconds. Looking at Bwaszchikovsky, who was clutching his right knee, he shook his head and turned to look at the bench.
Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed, and his liver was pounding.
