Vol 4 Chapter 153: Strategic abandonment

The injured Mark's task now is to recuperate and recuperate, and strive for an early recovery.
The task of Zhou Yi is to lead the team to victory.
After the match with the FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Dortmund will usher in their league. In the league they played against Frankfurt at home.
Because the game of playing the Donetsk Miners on the road is too difficult and the players are extremely expensive, Klopp continued to use his rotation in this game.
Most of the players who have played in the Champions League have been replaced.
Only a handful of people started in a row.
Zhou Yi is one of them.
Today's Zhou Yi's physical fitness is no longer a big problem, so Klopp can't rotate him if he can't.
Dortmund is now two points away from Bayern Munich in the league. It seems that the gap is very small, but it can't catch up, and if it loses, it will be pulled farther and farther away-another league that ended yesterday In the game, Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg 2-0 away, temporarily leading Dortmund by five points in one less game.
At this time, Klopp did not dare to let Zhou Yi take a rest. As the absolute core of the team, he can play and can greatly increase the chances of Dortmund winning.
In the end, with the help of a goal by Zhou Yi, Dortmund defeated Frankfurt 3-0 at home. The gap between them and Bayern Munich has been reduced to two points.
Zhou Yi took off his jersey after scoring a goal, revealing the white T-shirt with the words "Mark cheering" on it. He cheered Mark by cheering in this way, and wish him a speedy recovery.
Of course, he also received a yellow card for this celebration.
When the referee Brich showed him this yellow card, Dortmund fans booed the audience, and the commentator Marcel Leif also thought that the penalty of Brich although the rules were okay, but But it is a bit uncomfortable, just give a verbal warning, there is no need to give a yellow card.
Zhou Yideng does not care whether the yellow card is not yellow card, anyway, he rarely eats cards, because the accumulation of yellow cards suspended this kind of things may not happen to him once a season. In exchange for this yellow card for his blessing to Mark, it is totally worth it.

The following week, Bayern Munich met Arsenal in the Champions League. Somewhat surprisingly, Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 3-1 away. Everyone thought it would be an evenly matched game, and Arsenal are at home again. They definitely have an advantage. I didn't expect Bayern Munich to win so smoothly. With three away goals and a total score of two goals ahead, Bayern Munich can almost advance to the quarterfinals.
This is not good news for Dortmund. They certainly hope that Arsenal will cause Bayern Munich a little trouble, so that Bayern Munich will put more thoughts in the Champions League, thus affecting their play in the league.
But now, Bayern Munich has played only one UEFA Champions League and can refocus on the league to deal with Dortmund...
On the second day of the Bayern Munich match, the last Chinese player also appeared in the Champions League.
Yang Muge's Schalke 04 challenged Galatasaray away. In the end, the two sides scored 1:1. This result was not bad. There was no loss, and there was an away goal. After returning to the home court, Sha As long as Erke 04 can maintain a 0:0 draw, he can eliminate his opponents.
Yang Muge also has great hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
In this way, there will be three Chinese players appearing in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which is also the first time in history.
Chinese media and fans are all excited about the situation of three Chinese players entering the quarterfinals.
The only suspense is who can enter the quarter-finals, He Ying and Sun Pan.
Fans of He Ying and Sun Pan were quarreling on the Internet again...

In the 23rd round of the league, Bayern Munich swept Werder Bremen 6:1 at home, showing their super good status and super strength. The German media, especially the media in Munich, exclaimed that Bayern Munich in Heincks has been supernatural. What makes everyone wonder why the Bayern Munich broke out after announcing the change of coaching in advance next season They showed a huge amount of energy and performed better than the first half of the season. After the second half of the season, they have been winning streak.
There are also media criticisms of the Bayern Munich club’s sloppy coaching decision. They believe that Bayern Munich should continue to lead Heincks. The performance of Bayern Munich now shows that Heincks is the most suitable for Bayern Munich. Head coach.
Some media ridiculed: "I don't know if Hernes has begun to regret the decision to change coaches?"
Everyone was applauding Bayern Munich for their strong performance, but they forgot that Bayern Munich is the only one who has maintained a winning streak since the start of the second half of the season...
There is another team that has maintained a winning streak since the start of the second half of the season, that is Bayern Munich opponent Dortmund!
In the 23rd round of the league, they challenged Mönchengladbach away.
In the first half of the game, they scored a 1-0 lead. Although Mönchengladbach pulled a goal back in the second half, they ended up with a goal by Zhou Yi assisting Lewandowski, 2: 1 won the game.
Although it is not easy to win, anyway it is won. After the second half of the season, Dortmund and Bayern Munich have completely different styles. Bayern Munich are all kinds of crazy bully wins. What 4-0 wins Schalke 04, what 6:1 sweeps Yunda not Laime, they scored nineteen goals in the six rounds of the league and only lost one goal, which is a huge advantage.
By comparison, Dortmund is going to be a bit bumpy. Nineteen goals were also scored, but four goals were lost. The number of goals conceded was more than Bayern Munich. In specific matches, they also experienced a 3:2 win over Leverkusen and a 2:1 win over Mönchengladbach. Such a game.
This can also be seen as a manifestation of the strength gap between the two teams.
According to this embodiment, some media believe that Bayern Munich has great hopes of winning the championship, and Dortmund is likely to fall into a crash with the deepening of the Champions League schedule.
"...You know, Dortmund has to face not only the Champions League and the League, but also the German Cup!"
The media said so.
Four days later, Dortmund will welcome their opponent Bayern Munich in the German Cup...

Last season, Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich 5:2 in the German Cup final. It was a very obvious advantage. You can simply use "Dortmund slaughtered Bayern Munich" as the headline report.
That game allowed Bayern Munich to win the "Sanya King" in the season-the league lost to Dortmund, ranking second; the Champions League final lost to Chelsea at home, and the runner-up; the German Cup final was defeated by Dortmund. A runner-up. They reproduced the tragedy of Leverkusen in the 2001-2002 season.
This is a huge shame for Bayern Munich such a long-established giants team.
Now that the two teams meet again in the German Cup, it will inevitably cause a lot of reverie.
For Bayern Munich, this is a battle of revenge. The battle for the league is not yet clear, but the German Cup is a single elimination system. As long as Bayern Munich can beat Dortmund, you can kick Dortmund out of the German Cup. Beat them completely so that they can never defend the German Cup.
According to this principle, Bayern Munich should go all out in this game, trying to beat Dortmund.
But the actual situation is somewhat different from what everyone thinks.
In this game, the two teams coincidentally took turns...
In other words, neither team is doing their best.
Bayern Munich's rotation is still limited, and Dortmund's rotation is greater, because even Zhou Yi has been put on the bench by Klopp.
what does this mean?
If Bayern Munich's rotation is a normal personnel adjustment, then the rotation on Dortmund's side is a bit doubtful whether Klopp has any other purpose...
Because he even replaced Zhou Yi, the guarantee of Dortmund's victory, does that mean he doesn't care about the result?
For an opponent like Bayern Munich, he dare to keep Zhou Yi from playing, and certainly not for the victory.
Sure enough, in the last strong conversation that everyone was looking forward to, defeated Dortmund 1-0 at home at Bayern Munich~EbookFREE.me~ The game was not exciting, intense, but wonderful, both players There is a lot of physical contact, there are four players on the Bayern Munich side who have received yellow cards, and there are also three yellow cards on the Dortmund side.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi sat on the bench for ninety minutes and did not get the chance to play.

After the game, Chinese reporters took hold of Zhou Yi one after another, wanting him to talk about his views on the defeat of the game.
"I don't have any opinion. We and Bayern Munich are normal to lose and win."
Zhou Yi shook off the next scene and wanted to go, but how could the reporters make him do what he wanted, pulling him to ask: "What is the reason why you did not play in this game?"
"Continuous combat, player fatigue, rotation is normal. It is normal for me to be rotated. The head coach has his considerations, but it is normal."
Zhou Yi used three "normals" repeatedly, but instead made reporters feel that these failures were abnormal.
A reporter simply asked:
Is the loss to Bayern Munich intentional? Is it to save energy for the league and the Champions League?

Zhou Yi shook his head and said with a serious face: "Absolutely not!"
Then he slipped away, and this time the reporter wanted to stop it, because it had been stopped once, and it was a bit ridiculous to stop it again.
But everyone thinks that Zhou Yi's answer is basically nonsense, every sentence can be trusted, and there is no one that can be used.
In the end they decided to report Dortmund's failure according to their understanding.
"Klopp gave up the German Cup, focusing on the league and the Champions League."
"Klopp: A gambler." (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. )
