Champion’s Heart

The game is over! Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 2:1 away from home! The victory in this game also allowed them to win the league championship this season four rounds in advance!

The league is over! Yes! The league is over! Duan Xin said, playing a little word game. Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 2:1 in the away game. They successfully defended their title! There are still three league rounds left in this season, but for Dortmund, it is meaningless!

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Dortmund's substitutes rushed onto the court and celebrated the championship crazily at Schalke 04's home court. Their craziness even exceeds the normal excitement. This is because they are at Schalke 04's home court and can celebrate the championship at their archenemy's home court. This will make them extra excited. At the same time, they are deliberately trying to piss off their enemies. Will exaggerate and magnify their emotions during celebrations.

Sure enough, their celebration was booed by Schalke 04 fans.

There were even conflicts between players from both sides on the court because of this matter, but they were quickly separated and the conflict did not expand.

Schalke 04 players and fans couldn't stand the Dortmund players celebrating the championship so unscrupulously on their turf.

Fortunately, there is no need to hold the award ceremony here, otherwise Schalke 04 would probably be furious.

Amid the boos that filled the Schalke Stadium, the Dortmund players finally left the stadium reluctantly and returned to their dressing room.

They continued to celebrate in the locker room, almost leaving the visiting team's locker room in a mess at the Schalke Arena.

After scratching for a long time, I left the stadium and took the bus back to Dortmund.

After arriving in Dortmund, few of us chose to go home, but all made an appointment to continue celebrating. They had already contacted the restaurant in the car and wanted to have a meal together.

This is even crazier than when they won the championship last season. After all, this is defending the title. Defending a title is much more difficult than winning it for the first time. Everyone knows that it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it.

Zhou Yi did not go home, but went out to play with his teammates.

Klopp and the coaching staff also attended the team's dinner back in Dortmund. After a season of hard work, he finally successfully defended his title. It is not a big deal to make a fuss at this time.

Fans in Dortmund also took to the streets to celebrate the defending championship in various ways.

The entire Dortmund seems to have become a city that never sleeps.

Tonight, and even tomorrow, the entire German sports media will only talk about Dortmund's defense of the championship.

Before the season, some media believed that it would be difficult and almost impossible for Dortmund to successfully defend the title. But now, these people's faces are swollen.

Except for the fact that the league has just started, Dortmund has always had a great advantage in the league.

To be fair, after Heynckes returned to coach Bayern Munich, the entire Bayern Munich team has improved a lot. Without Dortmund, they can still regain the league championship. After all, they are now ranked second.

But unfortunately they performed well, Dortmund's performance was more outstanding and stable, and they never gave Bayern Munich a chance to close the gap. Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga this season can be described in one word - dominance. Dortmund have been simply dominant in the Bundesliga this season.

The match time between Dortmund and Schalke 04 was in the evening local time. It was almost late at night after the game. The entire Dortmund team took the bus back overnight and celebrated so hard that it was almost impossible not to do it until the early morning. . So when Klopp saw this, he simply announced that there would be no training in the morning of the next day, and asked the players to repair themselves and train again in the afternoon.

Although there is a Champions League match against Chelsea in three days, there is no choice but to let the players rest.

At this time, everyone consciously or unconsciously ignored the following Champions League semi-finals. Winning the league championship is the goal of the season. Let them have a good time first.

The Dortmund players celebrated really wildly that night. After the dinner, many players went to the next game. Zhou Yi drank himself down in the first game, so he didn't make it to the second game. He didn't even know how he got back. Anyway, when he opened his eyes the next day, he found that he was already lying in the house, but not in his room, but on the sofa in the living room. He didn't even change his clothes, just dressed like that. And lying down.

Zhou Yi looked at Cortana's room, the door was closed. Since Mark was injured, he had never seen Cortana except occasionally at the team. She should always be with her brother.

He looked at Hannah's room again. The door was locked. Hannah came back to stay less and less now. She seemed to have a new boyfriend, and more often she lived with her own boyfriend.

Zhou Yi should be grateful that he was the only one in the room last night, otherwise it would be too embarrassing...

Getting up from the sofa, Zhou Yi felt that his whole body was sore, as if he had been beaten. He didn't know whether it was because he fought too hard in yesterday's game, or because he used too much force when celebrating the title defense, or because Wrong sleeping posture...

He sat on the sofa holding his forehead, feeling that yesterday was so crazy. Everyone had been suppressed for a whole season, and they used too much force when they finally released it.

Starting from the pre-season training camp, the training intensity has been very high. After the training camp, Dortmund's training volume is still relatively high compared to other Bundesliga teams. Everyone is very tired, but everyone is working hard for the championship.

Now that I have won the championship, I feel a little relaxed. We had been celebrating since the end of the game yesterday. There was no chance to treat Yang Muge to a meal. It seemed that we could only afford the meal for the time being...

Zhou Yi remembered that the Champions League semi-finals with Chelsea would be in three days... No, it was two days later... He quickly jumped off the sofa and went to wash up.

On the second day of the game, the German media were discussing Dortmund's successful defense of the league title.

Many media believe that Dortmund winning the league championship four rounds in advance is a good thing for themselves, because it means they can concentrate on the Champions League.

But for Dortmund's Champions League journey, this may be the only good thing, and the rest is not good news.

Hummels received a red card and was suspended, head coach Klopp was suspended, and now Sven Bender is injured again. The next Champions League semi-finals will definitely be a big deal. The first round is still an away game... The situation is really unfavorable for Dortmund.

The day after the Ruhr derby, the latest injury news about Sven Bender also came out.

Torn ankle ligaments and ended the season.

So there is one more bad news for Dortmund...

Sven Bender, as the iron gate of Dortmund's midfield this season, has contributed most to the team's ability to win the league championship and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. On the other hand, his absence will definitely have a very profound impact on Dortmund.

Although they defeated Schalke 04 away from home, they won the league championship four rounds ahead of schedule. But if Klopp had a choice, he would rather postpone the league for one round to win the championship than pay the price of Sven Bender's season reimbursement...

After the afternoon training, the players also knew about Sven Bender's injury, and the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit solemn.

The joy of defending the league title was diluted a lot.

One day later, the Dortmund team flew to London, England, to challenge their semi-final opponent Chelsea.

Speaking of this opponent, this season's performance is also a legend. Before the start of the new season, the club invited young coach Villas-Boas as head coach. This young Portuguese coach coached Porto before coming to Chelsea and led Porto to win the triple crown of league championship, domestic cup championship and UEFA Cup championship. , is regarded as the successor of Mourinho.

Chelsea invited him here, naturally because of this nickname. They hope that Villas-Boas can bring Chelsea a glorious period just like Mourinho did when he came to Chelsea from Porto.

And Boas is also very familiar with Chelsea, because when Mourinho was coaching at Chelsea, Boas once served as Mourinho's assistant at Chelsea.

Villas-Boas, the young coach who just led Porto to win the Triple Crown, is naturally very ambitious and looking forward to creating his own era at Chelsea. As a result, reality gave him a slap in the face, and he was completely unable to control the locker room. After losing 1:3 to Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Villas-Boas was dismissed.

At that time, everyone thought that Chelsea was destined to be eliminated. Unexpectedly, Di Matteo, who took office as the acting head coach, led the team to defeat Naples 4:1 at home and eliminated their opponent. Then they reached the Champions League semi-finals like a champ.

In fact, if we talk about dark horses, Chelsea can be considered a dark horse based on their performance in the Champions League this season. They almost failed to qualify in the group stage and were almost eliminated in the quarter-finals, but now they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Compared with them, Dortmund is not black at all...

However, with many injured soldiers, fatigue and away games, Dortmund lost to Chelsea 0:2 in the away game. It is difficult to say that the performance of the whole team is good. Although everyone is actively working hard, the sluggish state cannot be made up for by hard work. . At the same time, the absence of Hummels and Sven Bender has a great impact on Dortmund's defense. When encountering the tough Chelsea, their defense appears to be too weak.

The shortcomings of Klopp not commanding from the sidelines were also exposed. The assistant coach Zeljko Buvac who replaced Klopp was completely unable to compare with Klopp in terms of on-the-spot response...

In the end, Dortmund lost in the away game and had no way to fight back. They lost like this in the first round, without even scoring an away goal, which makes people worried about their prospects...
