Champion’s Heart

After leading by two goals, Dortmund slackened a bit, but was pulled back by Twente striker Nasser Shadli in the 57th minute.

Then Gross Kreutz shoveled someone behind the back during the scramble, which caused him to get a red card and was sent off directly!

In fact, when Twente scored, Dortmund didn't think it was a big deal. With their strength, it is very easy to take the lead again.

However, when Gross Kreutz was sent off, they really felt the tension.

I am very happy with the support of Twente. Now the score is only one goal away, and the number of people is one more than the opponent. If we work harder, we may be able to draw with a strong opponent again!

Some people think more radically, thinking that they can look forward to a victory.

But the Twente people obviously think a bit too good.

Even if Dortmund has one less player, as long as they are serious, they are still enough to crush them at home.

Just four minutes after Gross Kreuz was sent off, Dortmund organized an attack.

After Zhou Yi got the ball in midfield, he passed the football to Gotze, and then ran forward.

Because Gross Kreutz was sent off, Shinji Kagawa, who was supposed to play the midfielder, went to the wing and played as a winger.

In this way, there were no people in the area in front of the midfield, just in time for Zhou Yiqian to step in.

In the process of running forward, Zhou Yi was already observing, imprinting all the running positions of the players on both sides in his mind.

When Gotze passed the football back to him, he didn't even need to stop the ball to observe or anything.

The football passed over the heads of the Twente defenders and fell behind them.

The Twente defender who was picked over his head saw Dortmund's No. 45 appearing in front of him as soon as he turned his head!

He raised his arm to signal offside.

But he didn't hear the referee's whistle, but he heard the overwhelming cheers.

Amidst the cheers, the No. 45 player stretched out his foot to stop the football, and then raised his other foot to kick the football!

Mark Wagner—!!! Marcel Levra called out in a long voice.

The football kicked by Mark flew past Twente goalkeeper Mikhailov and hit the net behind him!

Goal in! Marc Wagner!! Beautiful play by Dortmund! Onside! He's onside!

After scoring the goal, Mark lay on the ground in a daze for about half a second. Just got up from the ground. Then turn around and want to celebrate the goal.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he collided with Gotze who rushed forward.

The two embraced together, and Zhou Yi quickly came up to join in the fun.

3:1! Mark scored his first Champions League goal of the season! This young man is simply the hottest player in Dortmund lately... no, the hottest player in the whole of Germany! Since coming off the bench in the Ruhr area Afterwards, he continued to perform well. Not only in the league, but now in the Champions League too! Dortmund's youth training camp has finally received fruitful results!

Scoring goals in the Champions League is a very happy thing for Mark. But now he doesn't feel as unreal as scoring goals in the league.

After playing several games in a row, he has gradually gotten used to the change of his role, from an unknown marginal player on the bench. Become a much-anticipated and high-profile starter.

He has to bear all kinds of eyes, and his confidence is also increasing a little bit. He began to not feel that it was a good thing that he was able to score goals. He thought it was the result of his hard training and active performance on the court. In other words, he deserved it all. It is his strength.

Thinking about it this way, Mark felt much less suspicious in his heart.

Originally, Dortmund had one less person. Let Twente's confidence increase sharply.

But four minutes after Gross Kreuz received a red card, Mark scored to help Dortmund expand the score again. This is tantamount to pouring cold water on the players of Twente.

Let the Twente players realize the huge gap in strength between them and Dortmund. Even if they have one more person, it cannot make up for it.

With this in mind, Twente is much less of an offensive threat.

Dortmund's offense is not yet over. Facing such a weak opponent, victory is not the first pursuit, but to get more goal difference, so that when the goal difference needs to be compared later, there will be no regrets.

So Dortmund's offensive continued unabated.

And in the 85th minute, Lewandowski, who came off the bench, added to the cake, expanding the score to 4:1.

But this ball has nothing to do with Zhou Yi, because Zhou Yi has already left the field, and the person who replaced him is Lewandowski.

Let Zhou Yi leave early because there will be a very important league game for Dortmund next.

The importance is no less than the Ruhr Derby against Schalke 04.

That was the seventh round of the league, and they played against Bayern Munich at home.

In order to ensure that Zhou Yi can get a better rest and ensure that his physical fitness is fine, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi early in two consecutive Champions League group matches.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Twente, who was not very strong, 4:1 at home, and won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.

After two rounds of the group stage, the No. 1 team in this group is Dortmund, not Inter Milan. This must have been unexpected before the start of the group stage.

That's because Dortmund are the only team in this group with a clean sheet.

But no one can say that Dortmund will definitely get the right to qualify for the group, or get the first place in the group. Because only two games were played in the group stage, and there are six games in total.

Besides, Dortmund has not played against Inter Milan yet, this is probably the game that will determine where Dortmund will end up.

Inter Milan was tied by Twente in the first round of the group stage, which was an upset.

In this round of the group stage, their performance was finally normal, and they beat Valencia 4-0 at home.

Their performance in this game also allowed supporters to regain their confidence in them.

If Inter Milan can continue this state, the two games against Dortmund will definitely be very interesting.

And what about Dortmund?

After the game against Twente, they did not continue to focus on the Champions League.

Because as I said before, the opponent they will challenge next is not bad, and it is the overlord of German football Bayern Munich.

Although Bayern Munich's new season is habitually slow and has a poor start, Dortmund dare not slack off.

In fact, after the start of the new season, the teams encountered by Dortmund in the schedule are basically mid-upstream teams with good strength. If it was the start of Dortmund last season, it may be ranked last at this time.

Now, though, they are second, three points behind Mainz, who have won six of their six games.

As for Bayern Munich...

In the last round of the league, they lost 1:2 at home to Mainz, which is currently ranked top.

The state of Mainz at the beginning of this season really made everyone unexpected. Tuchel's team used more young players, but they played vigorously and maintained a complete victory so far. Even Dortmund failed to do this.

The current state of Bayern Munich is not very good, which gives Dortmund a chance to revenge.

At the beginning of the league last season, neither Dortmund nor Bayern Munich were in very good condition. At that time, Bayern Munich even had its worst start in 40 years under the leadership of the new coach Louis van Gaal.

Dortmund are not much better.

However, Bayern Munich defeated Juventus 4:1 in the UEFA Champions League group stage. They also won nine consecutive victories in the league and were unbeaten in more than a dozen consecutive games. With such an outstanding performance, they regained the top position in the league. In the Champions League, he also reached the final in one breath.

In the final season, Bayern Munich won the double championship of the league and the German Cup, plus the runner-up of the Champions League. This is the best season for Bayern Munich after winning the Champions League in 2001.

Dortmund lost all their two games against Bayern Munich last season, especially in the first round of the league. Bayern Munich beat Dortmund 5-0 away, which is simply a shame for Dortmund. In the second half of the season, Dortmund's state also recovered, but when they challenged Bayern Munich away, they still lost to the opponent.

Double-killed by Bayern Munich in one season.

For any team that wants to look forward to the Bundesliga championship, Bayern Munich is a hurdle they can never get around.

If you can't beat Bayern Munich, don't think about winning the league title.

Although even if the double kill Bayern Munich is only six points, the symbolic meaning is obviously greater than the actual meaning. Beating Bayern Munich can give your players great confidence, and confidence is the most important thing in the championship. a quality of
