Vol 3 Chapter 297: Bad luck


The failure of the first round of the Champions League semi-finals allowed Dortmund to completely shift its focus to the second round of the semi-finals. As for the weekend league, Klopp sent almost all reserve players.
So it was not surprising that the team drew Royce's Monchengladbach at 2:2 at home. Now including Dortmund players and fans, the media, everyone's mind is not in the league. Anyway, they are already league champions.
The next decisive battle with Chelsea is the most important.
Before the match, Dortmund fan organizations claimed that they were going to play West Stadium as a frightening home.
During the game, they did. The South Stand was like a burning wall. Dortmund fans also specially made giant TIFO to create home momentum.
In the second round of the game, Hummels and Klopp both lifted the ban and returned, and the players tried their best.
But Chelsea are more tenacious than they thought, with a two-ball lead in hand, Chelsea played a defensive counterattack on the road, which is actually their best style.
In the face of Chelsea's contracting defense, Dortmund bombed around their half. In the 40th minute, Zhou Yi made a sudden long shot outside the penalty area and blasted Chelsea's goal.
When the goal was scored, huge cheers rang out from the stands. Zhou Yi did not celebrate the goal, but greeted Lewandowski, who was at the forefront, to pick up the football and quickly kick off.
It’s a little too late to score in 40 minutes...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought back, and while Dortmund was desperate to attack, their backyard was on fire.
Chelsea used a quick counterattack and Torres went to the meeting with a single shot. After slamming the attacking goalkeeper Weidenfeller on the line, he scored the football.
This ball silenced Wester Stadium.
The total score gap was pulled to two goals, and the key is that Chelsea have an away goal. Even if Dortmund defeated Chelsea at their home 3-1, the total score will be tied. The disadvantage of scoring away was eliminated. So if they want to eliminate Chelsea and enter the final, they will have to defeat Chelsea 4:1 at home so that they can advance to the final with a total score advantage.
But after Chelsea scored, Dortmund was left with only half an hour. Thirty minutes to score three more goals, while ensuring that Chelsea no longer score... This is not impossible, but the chance is really very very small.
The silence in the stands is also for this reason.
Marcel Leif sighed and said: "Although he didn't want to admit it, Dortmund has almost been eliminated... Of course, it can still reach this point when the wounded soldiers are full. . After returning to the Champions League seven years after last season, they reached the quarterfinals, and this season they went further and reached the quarterfinals. They have done well enough..."

After the game restarted, the Dortmund players did not give up, and continued to seek opportunities to score, hoping to complete this impossible task.
But with the passage of time, this hope is getting slimmer.
Chelsea put a bus in front of his goal after scoring a goal. Even if Zhou Yi and his teammates worked hard, it would be difficult to find Chelsea's defensive loopholes.
In fact, Zhou Yi has already realized in advance in the virtual game. In the case of Chelsea's defensive focus, it is really difficult for Dortmund to score goals.
No matter how you say it is the team led by Mourinho, the defense is integrated into the blood and genes.
Facing Chelsea's copper walls and iron walls, Dortmund scored another goal until the 88th minute.
Zhou Yi suddenly pulled to the side to pass, Chelsea's defense was a little loose, his cross ball accurately found Lewandowski, and Lewandowski responded in front of the goal to push the football into the cut. He guarded the goal.
The total score is only one ball away, but there is not much time left for Dortmund.
In the end Dortmund defeated Chelsea 2-1 at home, but was eliminated by a total score of 2:3.
They failed to reach the final.
Dortmund's players were extremely frustrated after the game, and some people burst into tears.
Their momentum in the league and the Champions League this season was originally excellent. In the end, the league won the championship four rounds in advance, but the Champions League was eliminated.
Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone after the game.
For being eliminated, Zhou Yi gave his answer.
"Our luck is too bad..." He shook his head, his voice was low, and his mood was not high. Although this result may not be unexpected for him-because in the virtual game, he has simulated many times, almost all of Dortmund was eliminated, but when this moment comes in the real world, he will still have a huge Sense of loss.
Then he did not want to say more, bid farewell to the reporters, and went to the dressing room.
A Chinese reporter watched him looking down at the back of the dressing room, and suddenly wanted to comfort him, so he shouted at him: "Actually, you are already very good! Every season has improved!"
Zhou Yitou didn't return, he just waved his hand, and didn't know whether it was thanks to the reporter's comfort, or he felt it was useless... In short, he just walked back to the locker room.
Leave a group of reporters to sigh for this.
Last season, after being eliminated in the quarter-finals, the reporters thought that Zhou Yi had some objectively established excuses to defend the team’s failure, but Zhou Yi just said that he was eliminated because of their strength. Not strong enough.
Dortmund at that time was really not strong enough and was beaten by Real Madrid.
This season, in the face of Barcelona, ​​which is as powerful as Real Madrid, Dortmund eliminated its opponents, which should explain that their strength has become stronger. But he was eliminated.
It's really bad luck.
If Hummels and Klopp were suspended, if Sven Bender was injured, many Tmunds could really make it to the final at the Allianz Arena.
Because on the other side, Bayern Munich has eliminated Real Madrid and reached the final. So some people think that if Dortmund can reach the final, against Bayern Munich, perhaps because of the psychological advantage, they can beat Bayern Munich and win the championship.
But now, all this can only stay on the imagination.
bad luck……
When Zhou Yi said this, what kind of mood should be in his heart?
Seeing that he just waved his hand and didn't stop, he could guess how much.
I feel bitter.
Zhou Yi also tried his best in this game, one goal and one assist to help the team beat Chelsea at home, but helplessly lost the first round too badly, even if he also lack of skill.
In the face of such a defeat, no one will actually blame Zhou Yi. His performance is good enough... In fact, with his performance in the Champions League in these two seasons, Zhou Yi can already be regarded as inferior to those. The master midfielder is out. There may still be many problems to be solved by Dortmund's loss of the ball. There are many short boards to make up, but Zhou Yi is definitely not their problem and short board.
After the game, all media commented that Dortmund was eliminated this time, and they all used the reason of "bad luck". However, different people have different interpretations of this "bad luck". Some people think that the suspension and injury of the main players are a manifestation of bad luck. Others think that the draw is drawn with Barcelona even if it is bad luck.
But no matter how it is interpreted, it cannot change the reality that Dortmund has been eliminated.
Dortmund media believes that the most important thing is not to analyze why Dortmund will be eliminated, but to face the next game.
Although the league has won the championship in advance, Dortmund has a German Cup final to play.
When the team retrained after the game, Klopp also mentioned this point. It is regrettable to be eliminated from the Champions League, but the team does not have to pay attention to this point all the time, more importantly, the next game.
As long as Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich in the German Cup final, they will become the double crown of the season. In this way, Dortmund is still a great and glorious season and will not be defeated by the Champions League semi-finals. Eliminate and lose out.
The next two leagues have no meaning for Dortmund. Klopp considered that the physical fitness of the players has reached the limit during this time, but there is a German Cup final next, so he let fight the main force of a season The players all rest and give the bench players more playing time.
Substitute players did not reduce the combat effectiveness of Dortmund. Although they were eliminated in the Champions League, Dortmund's dominance in the Bundesliga is still very strong. In the 33rd round of the league, Dortmund challenged Kaiserslautern away, not the main player. Dortmund defeated Kaiserslautern 3-1 away.
Then in the 34th round of the league, the last round of the game, Klopp continued the starting lineup of the previous game. The only difference was the adjustment on the bench. More main players returned to the bench, such as Zhou Yi.
This is obviously in preparation for the next German Cup final, so that they are on the bench in order to change their appearance in the final stage of this game to find the feeling of the game.
Zhou Yi was replaced with fifteen minutes remaining in the game~EbookFREE.me~ Then he assisted Lewandowski who also came off the bench in the last minute of the game to help the team defeat at home 4:0 With Freiburg, the season ended with a full stop.
After the match, Dortmund entered the preparations for the German Cup final. They will face Bayern Munich at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on May 13 a week later.
As their opponent, Bayern Munich is absent.
Because Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final, which of the German Cup final and the Champions League final is important?
Needless to say?
Now Bayern Munich club is full of brains to beat Chelsea, who is not strong at home, to win the Champions League.
Is it better to have a cup at home and climb to the top? (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. )
