Vol 5 Chapter 37: Honor or pressure?

Hoffman's goal opened the situation for Dortmund players at once. In the 86th minute, Dortmund added another goal.
This time after Royce drove the ball into the penalty area, he was tripped to the ground and the referee sentenced Brunswick to capital punishment.
The Westerly Stadium thundered.
Penalty!
This goal must be scored, and the victory will be locked in! This game was won, and Dortmund will top the league standings with the victory of this game!
Then Royce personally took the penalty and kicked the penalty kick into Brunswick's goal. Dortmund led Brunswick at 2:0 at home.
Including the players, everyone's heart for more than 80 minutes finally fell into his stomach.
But God doesn't seem to want Dortmund to win the game so easily.
In the eighty-ninth minute, Brunswick won a corner kick. This is Brunswick's third corner kick in the game.
The kick kicked out and flew to the goal. Mark, who went back to the defense and jumped up, wanted a header, but he accidentally pushed the football into his goal!
"Ah! Ah! Ah... the goal scored! Mark... Own goal! Mark Wagner scored an own goal! This is bad!"
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller was caught off guard by Mark's header, and could only watch the football fly from the near corner to score the goal, but was helpless.
The Brunswick players are celebrating the goal.
Mark hugged his head, looking frustrated.
Originally, the two-ball lead was quite stable, and his own own goal suddenly put the team into a dangerous situation...
He was very guilty, guilty, and a little panicked.
Mark’s fear is justified. This own goal immediately made the atmosphere on the scene tense again-counting the injury time and stoppage time, there are still a few minutes until the game is actually over. If the opponents enter another one in a few minutes... …The cooked duck can fly!
After entering stoppage time, Klopp used his last substitution in the game. He replaced Mkhitaryan with Malvin Duke.
In this game, Mkhitaryan who had an ankle injury before got the chance, but maybe it was because he had been injured before, and he didn’t have a good practice with the team. In the game, Mkhitaryan did not perform very well. Okay, so to speak.
And Malvern Dukes is a 19-year-old striker, produced by Dortmund Youth Camp. With Lewandowski gone, he may have more opportunities to play this season, but whether he can really gain a foothold in the first team and become a useful addition to the lineup depends on whether he can Seize the opportunity.
Klopp replaced Mkhitaryan with Duke, not only to spend a little time with a substitution in the last few minutes of the game, but he also hoped to use this substitution to pressure Brunswick and let them The Dortmund goal cannot be counterattacked in the remaining time.
If they really want to do this, Dortmund's counterattack is not vegetarian.
This is how he reminded Brunswick that when they wanted to equalize the score, think about them behind...
This substitution is still somewhat effective. In the last few minutes, Brunswick did not cause any trouble for Dortmund’s goal. In fact, if the goal was not Mark’s own goal, Brunswick did not have a chance to score. of.
In the end, at the end of the game, Dortmund defeated the newly promoted Brunswick 2-1 at home.
Although this game won, it was not easy for Dortmund to win.
The Bundesliga in the new season will never be smooth sailing, and even the newly promoted team can cause them such a big trouble. If they are replaced by a midfield team with a slightly stronger victory, they will really beat Dortmund at Wester Stadium.
After the game, Klopp admitted at the press conference that his team did not perform well, but he also believed that victory was more important to Dortmund than anything.
With the victory of this game, Dortmund scored six points in a row, ranking first in the league standings.
However, there are as many as six teams with six points. Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Mainz and Werder Bremen all have six points, ranking two to five.
Dortmund is also ranked first only by virtue of the goal difference, this first is very unstable.
Of course, for a football game, the result is more than everything. As long as you win the game, it does not matter how you win or how difficult it is to win.
This ranking illustrates this point.
At the same time, Dortmund's 2-1 home defeat to Braunschweig is also the 20th consecutive victory for Dortmund.
Last season they crossed Inter Milan's seventeen consecutive victories with eighteen consecutive victories and became the team with the longest winning streak among the five major leagues in Europe.
And this season, they have made persistent efforts and won two consecutive rounds, allowing this new record to be expanded to 20 games.
Klopp's team, while winning the championship, is still creating a record that is difficult for future generations to match.
In the third round of the league, Dortmund ushered in Werder Bremen at home. After this game, it will take five or six days to wait for the fourth round of the league, but Dortmund is different. They are on August 27th. Three days after the league game, the fourth round of the league will be played ahead of time, because on August 30, they have a game in Prague, Czech Republic-there is a European Cup with Chelsea, the Champions League last season. Contest.
This season is really a new and severe test for Dortmund.
Because the Brazil World Cup next summer, the league schedule is very dense, the schedule of the Champions League and domestic cups will also be adjusted accordingly, the players will have a greater load than usual season. And in December, the Dortmund team will also go to Japan to participate in the World Club Cup. For this reason, they will miss several domestic leagues. The missed games will be arranged in the next time. If you reach the semifinals of the Champions League, this will result in Dortmund's new season schedule is very dense and compact.
Such an intensive schedule is a severe test for the players' physical fitness, as well as a severe test for the team's injury control.
Now that the league has just begun, the team has suffered injuries. Gundogan suffered a back injury, Mkhitaryan suffered an ankle injury, and Pishcek was also injured...
After winning the league title for three consecutive years, Dortmund's champion division seems to be a bit of a crossbow.
After setting a historical record of twenty victories, Dortmund's glorious surface also hides such a crisis.
Dortmund continued to rotate against Werder Bremen, and Svend and Obameyan sat on the bench.
Because Pishcek's injury was not good, Gross Kreuz once again wielded his golden skills. In this game, he played a right back.
Dortmund also played hard at home in this game, and neither side scored in the first half.
Ten minutes after the start of the second half, Mark Wagner broke the deadlock for the team.
This ball came from Gros Kreuz's passing assist.
But after a one-goal lead, Dortmund did not chase after the victory.
The two sides began to transfer troops and condemn continuously from the 66th minute. Werder Bremen naturally lost the game by just one goal. They also wanted to equalize or beat Dortmund on the road.
The narrator Marcel Leif kept mentioning the streak record created by Dortmund. He thinks it may be that this record has caused Dortmund players to carry a burden, some do not know how to kick, and think about things in the game. Think too much.
Fortunately, Dortmund finally withstood Werder Bremen's crazy counterattack at the last moment, and won another victory at 1:0 at home.
"The game is over! Dortmund has won again! Regardless of the scene and the process, Dortmund has always won the game. The 21st consecutive league victory! While they are breaking records, they are constantly accumulating backs The weight of the baggage...Looking at the tired looks of the Dortmund players, the league has just started and they have also won three straight games, but the players' expressions are not easy..."
There are some close-up shots of Dortmund players in the broadcast screen~EbookFREE.me~ Indeed, there is no excitement after 21 consecutive victories, on the contrary, many people have a face...how to say? When you say something nice, you will be calm, and you will not be surprised. It's dazed to say that it's awkward. It seems that I can't know whether I can win like this in the future.
At the press conference after the game, Klopp did not admit that the record of 21 consecutive victories put pressure on the team.
"No, no one would think of winning too much. We are pursuing victory in every game, so we have the same record. It will not increase the pressure because of too many wins and consecutive wins. The players are just a little tired..."
A reporter soon asked: "But the season has just begun, and it has not been a two-week match recently. Does this mean that Dortmund's pre-season training to go to China to play a commercial tour has led to the team's physical reserves not being done?
Klopp refused to answer this question.
