Champion’s Heart

Although three substitutions were used up in the 70th minute, the situation on the field has not changed.

Inter Milan is still weak in scoring, and they are helpless in the face of Dortmund's controlled midfielder.

But Dortmund made another victory in the 80th minute!

Pishchek!! Beautiful long-range shot! The goal is scored! Dortmund leads Inter Milan with three goals at home! They have won this game! Marcel Leff excitedly raised his arms and shouted.

This is the first time Dortmund has played in the Champions League after seven seasons. Unexpectedly, Dortmund, a team with young people as its main force, performed far beyond what people imagined.

The performance of Inter Milan really surprised us. In the last game, they were equalized by Dortmund at the last minute. They can be said to have underestimated the enemy. So how to explain this game? They underestimated the enemy? I don’t think they are so stupid? The Italian commentator was very dissatisfied with Inter Milan's performance. As the defending champion, he represented the image of Italian football, and he played like this?

After the four rounds of the group stage, Inter Milan had one win, two draws and one loss, and they might not even qualify for the group stage.

Isn't it a little too fast for the defending champion's airs to collapse?

Dortmund's players were celebrating a goal, and Inter Milan's players looked blankly frustrated.

What a great contrast.

With a three-goal lead, Klopp can finally breathe a sigh of relief. And he can see that Inter Milan has been beaten by Dortmund and lost their fighting spirit.

At this time, Zhou Yi can be let off early to rest.

So, at the eighty-fourth minute, Zhou Yi was replaced by Kyle.

Dortmund deployed two defensive midfielders in the midfield to ensure that these three goals could be defended in the last few minutes-after the last game against Inter Milan, Klopp is also very cautious now. Inter Milan can be equalized even with a lead of four goals. Now that they are three goals ahead, they can't take it lightly...

But Klopp still overestimated Inter Milan.

Until the end of the game, Inter Milan did not have a goal that could threaten Dortmund.

In the end, they lost 3 in the away game.

This result really surprised many people.

What about going all out to win?

As long as you don't underestimate the enemy and win Dortmund, it will be fine?

after the game. Zhou Yi said this in an interview in the mixed zone: They said before the game that as long as they don't underestimate the enemy, they can win the game... Isn't this the biggest underestimation of the enemy? Which team dares to say so definitely that as long as they play Okay, so you're sure to win the game?

Faced with Zhou Yi's open arms and rhetorical questions, the reporters were also speechless.

It's like...it's true!

While trying to repeat not to underestimate the enemy nor to underestimate the enemy, the result is still to underestimate the enemy...

So think about it this way. Inter Milan really deserved to lose this game!

Inter Milan, who returned with a defeat, fell into deeper infighting, and head coach Benitez once again faced the crisis of dismissing get out of class.

But this is not Zhou Yi's concern.

What he should care about is which opponents Dortmund will face in the knockout round.

Because Valencia unexpectedly lost to Twente at their home court. So now they only have one point in four games, ranking bottom. And Twente has one win, two draws and one loss, with five points, and Inter Milan also has two draws and one loss with five points, but they still have a bit of an advantage in the number of goals, so they rank second, while Twente ranks third.

Dortmund remained unbeaten with three wins and one draw, with a total of ten points and ranking first.

With two rounds left in the group stage, Dortmund has already won the group qualifying place ahead of schedule.

And still won the first place in the group ahead of schedule!

This result came out after the group draw. It is absolutely unexpected to many people.

The fourth-tier team actually won the first place in the group two rounds ahead of schedule, qualifying from this group!

Dortmund's performance simply slapped everyone who was not optimistic about their performance in the Champions League!

※※※

After the game, the whole city of Dortmund reveled, celebrating their advance to the Champions League round of 16 two rounds ahead of schedule.

In the next two rounds of group matches, they can sit back and watch the tigers fight.

The fans did not expect that the team returning to the Champions League for the first time in seven years would perform so well.

Every tavern is praising Klopp, praising Zhou Yi, praising Gotze, praising Mark... praising every Dortmund player.

Cortana was dragged to the bar by Hannah to celebrate together.

I know Zhou Yi! I have his phone number. Which of you wants to know him?! Hannah, who had drunk too much, raised her glass and yelled wildly in the crowd. He's still single—!

Cortana quickly pulled her aside: Hannah!

Her tone was stern.

What are you doing, Cortana... Hannah was drunk.

You can't do that!

Why? I introduced some beautiful and lovely girls for Zhou Yi. Is there any problem? Hannah laughed.

You drank too much. Zhou Yi doesn't like you introducing women to him.

How do you know he doesn't want to? Oh, Chinese boys are all sullen. They really want to, but they are embarrassed to say...

Zhou Yi is not that kind of person. Cortana said seriously.

Hannah stared at Cortana.

what?

You seem to know him well, Cortana?

I've lived with him for so long, how could I not understand?

I have lived with him for so long, but I think you know more than me...

You stay out at night most of the time.

Okay...but why are you thinking about that kid all of a sudden? Don't you always look down on him? So what would he want you to care about so much, huh? Cortana? Hannah narrowed her eyes . Looking at her friend with a playful look on her face.

... Cortana was at a loss for words.

At this moment, three coquettish and sexy women suddenly came up to Hannah, and they said to Hannah, Hi, you really know Zhou Yi, do you have his phone number?

Hannah looked back at the three of them, and just about to open her mouth, she hiccupped. The smell made the three women who often hang out in nightclubs frown.

Hannah didn't seem to see the disgust on the other person's face at all. She narrowed her eyes and grinned and said, I'm joking! Ha! I want to meet that handsome guy too! Does anyone of you have his phone number?

Tch! The three women made no secret of their disappointment, then turned around and left, no longer entangled with Hannah who was obviously drunk.

When they were gone, Hannah turned to look at Cortana and smiled.

That smile didn't look like a simple smile from drinking too much and unable to control the facial muscles.

And don't have a deep meaning in it.

Cortana gave her a blank look, then turned away, ignoring her.

Although he played a game with Inter Milan in the middle of the week, Klopp did not rotate in the away game against Hannover 96 on the weekend.

Because the game against Inter Milan did not consume much energy for Dortmund, and the players are in excellent condition and physical condition. Under such circumstances, why is there any need for rotation?

Dortmund, who played with all the main players, also played in the away game 4: easily defeated Hannover 96.

Mark and Lewandowski each scored a goal, and Shinji Kagawa also scored a goal. And Zhou Yi also scored a goal.

In the twelfth round of the league, Dortmund played against Hamburg at home.

Also playing with all the main players, Dortmund defeated Hamburg 2 at home, Mark scored twice, and Zhou Yi contributed a wonderful assist.

Mainz have lost both this round of the league and the last round of the league, plus their loss to Dortmund, in the league, Tuchel's team has lost three consecutive games.

Mainz appear to have lost the mojo they had at the start of the season after being dropped from the league table by Dortmund...

Instead, Dortmund is the best in the league standings-after twelve league rounds, Dortmund ranks first in the standings with 31 points.

Second-ranked Leverkusen has 24 points, and third-ranked Mainz also has 24 points.

The difference is as much as seven points.

And what about Dortmund's old rival Bayern Munich?

Ranked sixth with 19 points...

Van Gaal is also caught in the crisis of getting out of class.

In the thirteenth round of the league, Dortmund will challenge Freiburg away.

Although there will be a Champions League group stage next, Klopp still has no rotation in this game, because they have already qualified from the Champions League group stage ahead of time, so why is it necessary to invest more energy in the Champions League group stage?

Now we should seize the opportunity and time to expand our advantage in the league standings and prepare for the Champions League knockout in February next year.

In the end Dortmund defeated Freiburg 2:1.

Mainz also relied on a 3:2 away victory to stop the losing streak and make Dortmund's plan to further expand its advantage in the standings fell through.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Dortmund played against Valencia at home. Klopp is still the main force without rotation.

The imposing Dortmund once again played a beautiful game at home, 3: victory over Valencia!

Back in the league, in the fourteenth round, Dortmund defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 4:1 at home, and Mainz also defeated Nuremberg 3:1. The two teams are still separated by seven points in the standings.

With three rounds remaining in the first half of the league, Dortmund lead by seven points and are within striking distance of the half-time champions before the winter break.

The German media exclaimed that Klopp's team is already unstoppable! (To be continued.)
