Dortmund just ended a battle of life and death, then they will usher in another battle of life and death-the Champions League group stage, they play against Naples at home.
In the last UEFA Champions League group match, Dortmund defeated Arsenal at home to retain a hope for their group qualifying, but after all, it is only hope that whether they can qualify for the group depends on the next match. And this game between them and Naples is the key.
Because Dortmund and Naples can be regarded as direct competitors of the group.
Played four rounds in the group stage. Arsenal and Naples shared the same nine points, ranking first two in the group. Dortmund beat Arsenal at home in the last round and scored six points, not too far from the top two.
Galatasaray has not won a game, has zero points, has been eliminated early.
If Dortmund wants to qualify for the group, they must defeat Naples at home, so that the points are the same as Naples, and the win-loss relationship is also one win and one loss. What needs to be compared is the number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded against each other.
Dortmund lost to Naples in the first UEFA Champions League group stage, the score is 0:3. If Dortmund can't win at least three goals at home, it will be considered a win for Naples and will still be crushed by Naples in the rankings.
So this game for Dortmund, the task is very heavy-they not only have to defeat Naples, but also beat Naples by a big score, it is best not to lose the ball.
This is no less difficult for Dortmund, who is full of wounded soldiers, especially the entire main line of defense after the main line of defense has been abandoned.
Some pessimists even think that the defending champion will be eliminated early in the group stage. Because Dortmund was not even able to draw in this game, if they tied Naples, they can only count on Galatasaray to hold Arsenal’s pace, but this is unlikely to happen, and it’s destiny. The risk factor in the hands of others is too high.
But it is not that there is no chance.
Because Naples' recent situation is not very good.
At the beginning of the league, both Naples and Dortmund were in perfect condition, leading the standings in their respective leagues. Naples, in particular, defeated the defending champion 3-0 in the Champions League. But recently Napoli's situation is not very good. They have lost consecutively in the league, first losing to Juventus, then losing to Parma, and staying in the third place in Serie A.
Naples is also in a bad shape, and Dortmund at home has the hope of defeating Naples.
But if Naples just want to get a draw on the road, a tie can make it a round ahead. They can be more conservative, stubborn defense on the road, draw Dortmund.
A draw is completely acceptable for Naples, but not for Dortmund. By then Dortmund will definitely attack with all his strength, which is the condition for Naples to fight back. If they can steal one in the counterattack, Naples is not without a chance to take a three-pointer and retreat from the devil's home stadium in Westfield.
Because there are many changes in a game, the advantages and disadvantages can also be transformed into each other, so this game has attracted much attention.
At the beginning of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw, Group F was called the "Death Group". But now, for the first time, this group has shown the grim "death".
※※※
Because there is such a game in front, the match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich will soon be unveiled. Everyone no longer pays attention to this ended game, but puts all their energy into the Champions League.
Dortmund's back line injury problem has not been completely resolved.
And the poor performance of this back line in the last game against Bayern Munich will certainly be noticed by Naples. As long as you carefully study the video of this game, it is not difficult to find a targeted strategy to break the defense.
But Napoli’s midfielder Hamsik was injured in the last league match and he couldn’t participate in this Champions League game.
Both sides lost in strength.
But what people are most concerned about is that Zhou Yi will face Naples again.
The last time the two sides confronted each other, Zhou Yi was injured by the opponents in Naples away and missed the game for more than a month. It was this month that caused the situation in Dortmund to turn sharply. The UEFA Champions League group stage was dangerous. .
It is no problem to say that Naples is Zhou Yi's "enemy". Everyone would like to see how Zhou Yi "revenge" when facing Naples.
So before the game, Zhou Yi was asked most by the reporters about "revenge."
Zhou Yi is very different from this statement: "There is no "revenge" saying that the injury was just an accident. I did not blame Inle or Naples for this. We must fight for this game, not for revenge. But for our own survival. If we want to qualify for the group, we must defeat Naples at home."
"A net win of at least three goals..." A reporter reminded Zhou Yi of the difficulty.
But Zhou Yi corrected the reporter's statement:
"No, the goal difference is more than four goals."
He compared four fingers.
The goal difference of three goals is mostly to make Dortmund and Naples have the same win and loss relationship, and the goal difference of four goals can make Dortmund win the relationship with Naples under the same point, so the ranking also exceeds Naples.
Zhou Yi said so, obviously the goal was to go directly over Naples.
He was so confident.
But the media reporters will be very surprised, how did such confidence like Zhou Yi come about.
Depending on the current situation in Dortmund, even if they can score four goals for Naples, there is no guarantee that Naples will not score...
If the goal is lost, the goal of a goal difference of four goals will be difficult to accomplish-Naples will score one goal, Dortmund will score five goals, Naples will score two goals, Dortmund will score six goals... even in his own At home, the advantage is not so great.

"... Dortmund star Zhou Yi said in an interview with reporters that he wanted to beat Naples by four goals, which is really surprising. His confidence came from here..." On the Italian TV show, the host was talking with the guests Talking and laughing, the most striking thing this week is, of course, the Champions League match between Dortmund and Naples.
And everything before the game can be used as a resource for everyone to talk about, not to mention Zhou Yi also provided such a big "topic".
"Although he said in his mouth that it was not revenge, he actually hated Naples to his heart?" The guest laughed. "That's why I say this..."
Another guest said: "I think maybe Zhou Yi had to say that?"
His views attracted everyone's interest, and the host asked him why he said so.
"It's very simple. In the current state of Dortmund, even if they play Napoli at home, they may not win. The problem on their back line is too serious, but they can't surrender in advance. So Zhou Yi said that it should be to cheer his teammates. Right..."
The guest talked and talked, and the people around him nodded frequently - so thinking, it really is like this.
What Dortmund lacks is confidence. In the face of strong opponents and unfavorable situations, there will inevitably be some fear. As the core player of the team, of course it is necessary to stand up to encourage morale at this time.
※※※
The Italian media believes that Dortmund's main scene lacks confidence in Naples.
Their understanding and the actual situation have a little deviation.
Different from what they imagined, Dortmund's interior is eagerly anticipating this match against Naples.
If before the match against Bayern Munich, Dortmund had some lack of self-confidence, then after this match with Bayern Munich, the problem of Dortmund players' lack of confidence has been solved. Because they trailed Bayern Munich three times in the game, and they all came back in the end.
After such a game, how could Dortmund players still lack confidence?
In the training that is not publicly available, the first team of the Bracker training base is full of heat and the atmosphere is warm. Every player is sweating on the training field, although it is training ~EbookFREE.me~ but the intensity But it is no less than an official game.
If you only watch this scene, you will be amazed-is this the Dortmund that has been beaten in the match against Bayern Munich? They look like two teams before.
Klopp is also very satisfied with the morale of the team. In addition to training, he and assistant coach Bovac could not help but talk about this issue.
"It's really wonderful, it's a draw, but it has brought such a big change to the team..." Boiqi was surprised.
"That was not an ordinary draw. It was a draw that faced Bayern Munich with the back line almost abolished. It was a three-time lead and three draws." Although the game was over, Klopp said Pride and pride in the tone are still hard to conceal in the game-he is not proud of the result, but proud of his team's ability to show such performance in the face of adversity.
"Zelico, I have a hunch. This time we will make it out of the group smoothly, and as the group's first!" Klopp said firmly.
Bowaki muttered: "It's okay to be the first in the group, as long as I can qualify, I'm very satisfied..."
Klopp chuckled and said nothing more.
The sunshine shone on the green grassy training ground, and the sweat flowing from the players was shining.
