Champion’s Heart

Zhou Yi's waiting continues. After the national team match day, the league continues.

The fifth round of the league is a highlight, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Bayern Munich.

The contest between Bayern Munich and Dortmund is called the German National Derby. In terms of intensity and importance, it is no less than the Spanish National Derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the England National Derby between Liverpool and Manchester United. Such a national derby.

However, Dortmund's mix has not been satisfactory in recent years, and their results are far less stable than Bayern Munich. Although Bayern Munich also lost the league championship last season, they are also second in the league. Dortmund was sixth in the league last season, and fell to thirteenth last season. Since Dortmund won the league title last time, they have been in trouble. The overly optimistic expansion has plunged them into an economic crisis. The stars who paid a lot of money have performed mediocrely. The team's performance is lurking. Munich is far behind, even surpassed by teams like Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen, and Stuttgart.

So in the matches between Dortmund and Bayern Munich in these years, Bayern Munich has the upper hand. Since the 2007-2008 season, Dortmund has not won when facing Bayern Munich. At home they can only draw with Bayern Munich, but when they go away, they all lose.

The most recent confrontation between the two teams was the nineteenth round of the league last season. Dortmund challenged Bayern Munich away and lost 1:3 away.

In the last ten encounters, Dortmund only won two games.

Nine of these ten meetings have been in the league, and there is also a DFB-Pokal match.

Dortmund won two, drew two and lost the rest.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the winning rate of such a confrontation as bleak.

Judging from the recent state of the game, Dortmund is far inferior to Bayern Munich. Perhaps all they can rely on is the advantage of playing at home.

After all, the West **** Stadium is hell for any visiting team.

In this game, Zhou Yi took it for granted to watch from the sidelines in the South Stand.

Ten minutes into the game, central defender Hummels, who had moved from Bayern Munich to Borussia Dortmund, took advantage of a corner kick to break the deadlock for Dortmund.

When Hummels scored, the cheers in the South Stand were almost heart-stopping.

Mats! Mats! Dortmund is your home! Dortmund fans shouted Hummels' name.

Hummels completed a wonderful revenge against Bayern Munich! The live commentator Norbert Dikor also shouted excitedly.

Hummels is a player trained by Bayern Munich's youth training. He was promoted to the Bayern Munich first team in 2007. But in the first team, he still couldn't get too many opportunities to play, so he was loaned to Dortmund by the club for one and a half seasons.

In the one and a half seasons when he was loaned to Dortmund, Hummels performed very well, making Klopp determined to buy out Hummels no matter what the price. Finally, this summer, Dortmund spent 4.2 million euros to completely buy out Hummels. And Hummels is also willing to stay in Dortmund. After all, he is the main force here, but when he returns to Bayern Munich, he will be a substitute. A fool knows what choice to make.

At this time, the feelings cultivated by the youth training may not be worth the consideration of actual interests.

As a player trained by Bayern Munich, Hummels scored in this game against Bayern Munich. It was a very dramatic scene. It also made Dortmund fans even more excited-we not only dug the corner of Bayern Munich, but also scored a goal against Bayern Munich!

And it is the core of the team's midfielder, the young Turkish talent Nuri Sahin, who assisted Hummels. In a sense, he is also Zhou Yi's competitor.

The lead boosted Dortmund's morale, and the players performed well, suppressing Bayern Munich from the scene.

But the team still conceded the goal in the 36th minute.

The equalizer for Bayern Munich was center Mario Gomez, bought by Bayern Munich from Stuttgart.

This conceded goal caused a lot of sighs in the South Stand.

Some people are scolding Gomez who scored the goal: **** Luck!!

Zhou Yi also held his head in his hands, feeling sorry and unwilling for the team's loss.

During the intermission, the fans in the South Stand got together to discuss the first half and look forward to the second half.

It's a pity to concede the goal, but we still have the upper hand. Bayern Munich didn't have too many opportunities! Daddy Bruno was still full of confidence when talking about the second half.

Others also agreed.

Zhou Yi didn't say anything.

Hey, Zhou Yi, what do you think? Mark next to him noticed that Zhou Yi's mood was not very high, so he asked.

Upon hearing his words, everyone also turned their attention to Zhou Yi.

Uh... Zhou Yi saw that everyone's emotions were so high, he hesitated to speak.

Just say what you think, Chinese boy. Father Bruno encouraged Zhou Yi.

I'd better not pour cold water on everyone... Zhou Yi shook his head.

Do you think our situation in the second half was not good? Someone asked Zhou Yi.

Yeah. Zhou Yi nodded.

Why? I know Gomez's goal was a bit frustrating, but after conceding the goal, didn't the team's defense make adjustments? Another person said. Besides, in the whole first half, Gomez didn't get any decent chances. He was just lucky for that one ball...

And our central defender is not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Gomez. Whether it is Hummels or Subotic, they are not at a disadvantage physically! Someone echoed.

Zhou Yi said: Yes, our two central defenders performed well when defending Gomez. Gomez was restricted by us very well. But have you ever thought about it, if Van Gaal replaced Gomez in the second half? How about going down?

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, but then Bruno laughed loudly: How is it possible, a Chinese boy? Gomez scored the goal in the first half, so replace him in advance? What would Gomez think?

Yeah yeah, Van Gaal replaced Gomez who just scored? Is he crazy?

Mrs. Wagner also felt that Zhou Yi's idea was incredible.

Zhou Yi shook his head: I don't know what Gomez will think, but Van Gaal is that kind of tough head coach. He has the final say in the locker room. If he thinks it is necessary, he will not consider what the players are doing. I thought about it. Since Gomez has been restricted by Matz and Nevin and has no chance to shoot, why do you keep him on the court? You have said it yourself, Gomez's goal has a lot of luck ...I don't think Van Gaal can't see that. Keeping Gomez on the pitch is not a threat to our defense. Can we expect him to have another **** luck in the second half?

When a group of people heard Zhou Yi's analysis, they all became quiet, and before they knew it, they couldn't ask any questions.

Everyone, don't forget that Ribéry is still sitting on the bench in Bayern Munich. And there is also Arjen Robben on the court. Both of them are players with fast speed, flexible feet and outstanding personal abilities. And we What about the central defender? Whether it is Matz or Nevin, they are tall, clumsy, and slow to turn around. What will they do when they encounter two players who are short but fast and flexible?

Zhou Yi's series of rhetorical questions left everyone else speechless and speechless.

Because they do realize the problem.

What if Van Gaal replaces Gomez with Ribéry? How do we respond?

Zhou Yi finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and no one could answer his question.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that they have a very good young man on the bench, Thomas Müller. He is not as strong as Gomez, but he is flexible on his feet and has excellent awareness. If he plays, he can effectively cooperate with Ronaldo. Ben and Ribery. Together with their other starting striker Olic, Olic is a striker with excellent ball handling ability. He may not have strong scoring ability personally, but he is good at making wedding dresses for his teammates. In this way A set of frontcourt offensive combinations cannot be prevented by building a frontal wall. Zhou Yi added.

Chinese boy, how do you know so much about Bayern Munich? Father Bruno asked curiously.

Although I can't play, I still need to know my opponent. Zhou Yi spread his hands.

He has played against this Bayern Munich team in the virtual world for several days, so he naturally knows this opponent.

Is this also part of the first team? Mark asked from the sidelines.

No, this is a little interest of mine. Zhou Yi smiled slightly.

※※※

The second half had just begun, and Zhou Yi caught everyone's attention.

Because during the intermission, Van Gaal really made a series of substitutions.

He replaced Hamid Altintop with Thomas Müller and Mario Gomez with Ribéry - who was Bayern Munich's first-half goal scorer. up! (to be continued)【 】
