Vol 4 Chapter 82: UEFA Champions League Game 2

After Zhou Yi scored, it was not only Ajax's defense that was disintegrated, but also their fighting spirit.
With only a few minutes left in the game, it is actually possible that they want to score another goal to equalize the score, but the Ajax players have not shown such a fighting spirit.
On the other hand, Klopp made frequent substitutions. In the ninetieth minute, he replaced Goetze with striker Schieber. In the ninety-first minute, he replaced Rattoan with Reitner.
The two substitutions took some time.
Although Frank de Boer replaced midfielder Sana with striker Sulaymani in the 88th minute, it didn't help.
In the end, the referee Talia Vento blew the whistle at the end of the game.
"The whole game is over! After a hard fight, evaluating Zhou Yi's quasi lore in the 87th minute, Dortmund defeated Ajax 1:0 at home! This is really a difficult three point!"
After the game, Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone.
I was asked if Dortmund played so hard in this game and it was related to despising his opponents.
Zhou Yi shook his head and denied: "How is it possible? This is the death team. Every game in this group is very difficult to play. The difficulty of playing is normal and right. We did not despise our opponents, Ajax. It’s a strong team, and it’s their strength as a result of the game."
Frank de Boer regretted the result at the post-match press conference: "I think a draw is fair, but this is football. We are not worse than Dortmund, if there must be a gap, I think we have not Zhou Yi, this is the gap. Dortmund's last goal is a manifestation of Zhou Yi's personal ability..."
Klopp also believes that it is good to win at home. As for the goal difference, it is not necessary to consider: "This is the group of death. In this group, no opponent is easy to deal with, no game. It's good to win. So I'm very satisfied with being able to score three points, goal difference? That's not something that should be considered in this group."
There is a supporting evidence that can prove the correctness of the views of Zhou Yi and Klopp-another group match at the same time. Real Madrid faced the Champions League upstart Manchester City at their own home, and finally only won 3:2.
In the first half, the two sides played 0-0 like Dortmund.
In the second half until the sixty-ninth minute, Manchester City was broken by Zheke, Manchester City even led Real Madrid at home.
Real Madrid then made consecutive substitutions. Mourinho made two quick changes in the 73rd minute, using all the substitutions. Manchester City side Mancini also replaced Sabcon with Sabaletta in the 74th minute, which is also the last substitution for Manchester City in this game.
In the 76th minute, Real Madrid equalized by Marcelo.
In the 85th minute Carlarov took the lead for Manchester City again.
In the 87th minute Benzema equalized again for Real Madrid.
In the 90th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo finally caused Bernabeu to boil-he scored a goal to kill Manchester City at this time.
It was difficult to get the same points as the Dortmund game, but this game scored five goals, so it looks better.
But the difficulty of the game is the same.
These two games are worthy of adjectives like "the most terrifying group of deaths after 199".
The next game of the Champions League will be on October 3, Dortmund will challenge Manchester City away. After seeing Manchester City playing Real Madrid away, no one would think that Dortmund's road trip is easy.
※※※
Perhaps it took too much energy in the Champions League, Dortmund returned to the league lost to Hamburg 2:3 away. Although Zhou Yi had an assist, it did not help.
However, after this game, Wagner, who has been injured, can finally practice together with the team. This is good news.
This season's Dortmund double battle, if Wagner can come back, it is definitely a blessing for Dortmund.
In the fifth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Frankfurt away, and finally Dortmund defeated their opponents 3:2 away.
In the sixth round of the league, Dortmund faced Mönchengladbach at home. After this game, the team will prepare for the second game of the UEFA Champions League group match against Manchester City.
In this game, Klopp has rotated, and many of the main players, including Zhou Yi, have not been able to appear on the starting list or even on the roster.
Klopp intends to give up this league directly, but to his surprise, Dortmund used a roster instead to defeat Monchengladbach 5:0 at home.
After playing this game, Dortmund invested in preparations for Manchester City. In the training, Klopp increased the proportion of Footbonaut in the training.
This is because in the Champions League, the passing speed is generally 15% faster than the Bundesliga. If you follow the habits of the Bundesliga, you will lose miserably. Footbonaut can improve the speed of players' passing and receiving. Last season Dortmund was able to reach the semifinals in the Champions League in one fell swoop, which is related to Footbonaut training.
But Dortmund just used Footbonaut to grind the gun last season. They didn't want this season. They started training with Footbonaut from the pre-season training.
Zhou Yi has a greater advantage. Not only can he train Footbonaut in reality, he can also carry an upgraded version of Footbonaut training in dreams.
In addition, he can play against Manchester City ahead of time in the virtual space and feel the game.
Because the first game lost to Real Madrid 2:3 away, if Manchester City want to qualify from this group, this match against Dortmund must win, so that they can take the initiative in the next schedule.
Despite the game in the virtual space, Zhou Yi can still feel the kind of energy that Manchester City burst out at home.
In the virtual match between Dortmund and Manchester City, Dortmund has always lost more and less.
However, Dortmund who won a game does not necessarily need to beat Manchester City on the road-it is good if it can be won, but if it cannot be won, a draw is completely acceptable. Just like Ajax wanted to draw Dortmund on the road.
In the death group, a draw is often the most cost-effective result, especially in an away game.

After Dortmund ended the game with Mönchengladbach, he flew to Manchester on the second day of the game. And this time is still three days away from the Champions League match in midweek.
Why should we pass so early in advance?
Of course, it is because we have to adapt to Manchester in advance, including the weather, food and venue.
As for where to train the team, the Dortmund club has negotiated with the Manchester United club. The Manchester United club allows Dortmund to use their Carrington training base for free in preparation for the match against Manchester City.
As a pair of four times in the same city, the enemy of Manchester City is a friend of Manchester United.
Of course, if Dortmund and Manchester United meet in the Champions League next time, then Manchester City will definitely be happy to lend the training base to Dortmund, even if they fight for your life in this Champions League group match.
In addition, Dortmund and Manchester United also traded players this summer. Kagawa Majiro went to Manchester United from Dortmund.
When Dortmund was training at the Carrington training base, Kagawa Kajikawa also came to Dortmund's training ground to chat with his former teammates and coaches and tell old feelings. Although he had some complaints about Dortmund's management because of renewal issues when he left Dortmund, but his relationship with teammates and coaches is still very good.
Since Kagawa’s transfer to Manchester United, he has played four times in the first six league games, absent once and scored a goal.
This performance cannot be said to be very good, but it is not too bad, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Certainly not as eye-catching as his performance in Dortmund. In Dortmund's midfield, his role is very prominent. But at Manchester United, he is more of a role player.
After seeing Shinji Kagawa, everyone asked if he was used to at Manchester United.
"Except for the weather, others are used to it." Shinji Kagawa said with a smile.
"Are you used to eating?" Zhou Yi was surprised.
"You don't want to black British food, Zhou Sang." Kagawa knows what Zhou Yi said. "Besides, Manchester is not without a Japanese food store, and occasionally it can be improved and improved."
"You all said it has improved, it seems that what you usually eat is not really good." Zhou Yi pouted.
Everyone laughed~EbookFREE.me~Jiang Kagawa didn't leave long before. He was more familiar with Dortmund than Manchester United. Everyone did not think he was like an outsider.
This kind of intimacy is not yet felt by Kagawa Shinji at Manchester United.
Compared with Dortmund's locker room, Manchester United's real giant locker room is more complicated. If you want to compare, Manchester United is a bit like Bayern Munich in the Premier League. It is a well-deserved overlord and the focus of everyone's attention. There are more superstars in the locker room than Dortmund, and the relationship is complicated and normal.
In the end, Kagawa Kaji and Klopp had a separate conversation. Although Manchester United have not met Manchester City in the new season, the two teams are even close to the training base. In the same city, there will always be various The channel learned the news of the opponent.
So Kagawa Shinji told Klopp what he had learned about Manchester City, hoping to play a role in Klopp's tactical arrangements. (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please read. )
