Vol 5 Chapter 112: Arsenal

Chapter 112 is Arsenal again
To say that the next match between Dortmund and Arsenal is related to whether Dortmund will qualify or not is definitely not alarmist.
Now the Champions League group stage has played three rounds, half of the schedule, currently ranked first is the three-game winning Arsenal, as the seed team, they defeated Galatasaray 2-1 in the first three games, respectively. They defeated Naples 2-0 at home and Dortmund 2-1 at home, leading the team with nine points.
The second place in the group is not the defending champion Dortmund, it is Naples. They defeated Dortmund in the first round of the group stage. Afterwards, although they lost to Arsenal in the second round, they beat Canada 2-1 Latasaray. Ranked second with six points.
Dortmund fell to third. In the past three group matches, they only won one game and lost the other two games.
As for Galatasaray, who had a total negative score of three games, there is no need to consider it.
If in the fourth round of the group stage, Dortmund lost to Arsenal at home and scored 12 points in Arsenal, you can qualify from this "death group" in advance. At the same time, once Naples defeated Galatasaray at home, the difference between Dortmund and second place Naples will widen to six points, which means that in the last two rounds of the group stage, Dortmund must win all, and Naples must lose all before they can. There is a possibility of qualifying. Moreover, it also needs to compare with Naples' win-loss relationship and the number of goals and net goals scored against each other. There are too many variables.
This is definitely not what Klopp wanted.
Counting Dortmund tied Arsenal at home, it also depends on the face of others.
Conversely, if Dortmund defeated Arsenal at home, not only will they chase Naples in points and approach Arsenal, but they will also tie the game with Arsenal.
Before this game with Arsenal, everyone no longer has to guess whether Zhou Yi will appear in the game. He has played twice in the league and has performed well. There are no new problems in his physical condition. Of course, it is impossible to be absent. This is crucial. It's a game.
However, the national media still noticed a special situation-Yan Min reappeared on the tournament list!
You know, since playing with Arsenal off the bench once and performing poorly, Yan Min has not been selected by Klopp for the second consecutive game.
To Ruerde of Schalke 04, it can be said that such an important game, it is impossible to choose a rookie rookie. Well, just after the game against Stuttgart, Yan Min was not included in the big list, and he had to let the national media speculate whether Yan Min was knocked into the cold palace by Klopp because of his poor performance against Arsenal.
Of course, Yan Min's performance was indeed not convincing. It was only normal to find a rebound of public opinion in the interview after the game.
But the national media is still very sorry. After all, everyone still has high hopes for Yan Min. I hope he can make a world of his own in Dortmund like Zhou Yi.
But no one expected that Klopp gave Yan Min another chance, and still playing against Arsenal!
This time Yan Min's entry into the Cold Palace is even more puzzling-Yan Min was performing poorly in the bench against Arsenal, and he is now selected to the Arsenal's big roster. This is why ?
In fact, not only the media was surprised by Klopp's choice, but Yan Min was also surprised.
After playing Arsenal, he did not make the list for two consecutive games. Yan Min believes that this should be the punishment of the head coach. He admits it, because he also feels that he is not performing well against Arsenal. There is nothing to say. The training is buried.
He believes that as long as he continues to work hard, he will return to the roster one day sooner or later.
But he did not expect that this day has come so fast, and he is still playing against Arsenal.
"What does this mean?" When driving from the training base to the hotel, Yan Min asked Zhou Yi who was sitting beside him.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yi said with a smile, "It implies Klopp's good intentions for you, Yan Min."
"For my...good intentions?" Yan Min was confused. He never felt that Klopp had any special care for himself.
"Of course. Think about it, why did you not get the chance to enter the roster in the previous two games, but you were selected in this game? Why is it against Arsenal again?"
Yan Min frowned, thinking hard.
He couldn't think of it.
Zhou Yi patted his back: "It's very simple, because Klopp wants you to get up from where you fell!"
Yan Min froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
Seeing Yan Min's performance, Zhou Yi showed a "little teachable" smile, but did not speak again.
The reason why he didn't speak was that he didn't want Yan Min to get to the bottom with this question. If he asked Zhou Yi how he knew Klopp's thoughts, would he ask Zhou Yi to say that he was guessing?
That was probably not the answer he wanted for Yan Min.
Zhou Yi did not know what Klopp thought. This answer was guessed by him. Klopp didn't talk to him again, how did he know what Klopp thought. The reason for saying this is to inspire Yan Min's fighting spirit. He does not know whether Yan Min has a chance to play, but if Yan Min really got the chance to play, Zhou Yi hopes that Yan Min will be more positive when facing Arsenal, and don’t let everyone treat him The appraisal, fearful, can not let go.
As for what Klopp thought, it didn't matter at all. Anyway, Yan Min couldn't run to ask Klopp...
When Yan Min entered the big list, only the national media was most interested. Others felt that this was a very common arrangement, and it was not worth mentioning. Their eyes are more on Zhou Yishen.
So far this season, Zhou Yi has played only seventy-one minutes in the Champions League and hasn't even played a complete game.
He hasn't played in the Champions League for a minute since he was hit by Naples and fell into a coma.
Dortmund challenged Arsenal in an away game. After returning, some media thought that Klopp was too conservative. If that game allowed Zhou Yi to play, Dortmund did not say that they beat Arsenal away, and it should be possible to tie Arsenal. of. If Zhou Yi appeared at the time, Dortmund's situation is not so bad now.
If it is a draw, Arsenal have seven points, Dortmund has four points, and the two sides are one point away. As long as Dortmund defeats Arsenal at home in this game, they can tie Arsenal’s points and will also win the advantage of both sides. Ranked in the group stage over Arsenal.
At that time, many people believed that Zhou Yi did not play, which was the key factor for Dortmund's away loss to Arsenal.
So this time, Zhou Yi will not be surprised, will play, can Dortmund beat Arsenal at home?
At the same time, this is the first time Zhou Yi and Arsenal met in the game after Arsenal failed to buy Zhou Yi this summer.
After the team arrived in Dortmund, Arsenal coach Wenger did not hide his regret that he did not win Zhou Yi, and also praised Zhou Yi's performance after his comeback: "I said a long time ago, Zhou Yi is one. It is really shocking that a world-class player has achieved such performance and success at his age. We have carefully studied the two games after his comeback, and he has shown a very good competitive state. There is no doubt that he will It’s a key player in this game. We will defend him strictly."
A reporter from a country asked:
Does this mean that Zhou Yi is contained, and Dortmund is contained?

"Of course not. Dortmund has many outstanding players besides Zhou Yi. But Zhou Yi's importance to Dortmund is indeed obvious and cannot be ignored."
At the same time, a reporter ran to ask Zhou Yi, after injury in the game against Naples, re-appeared in the Champions League, how do you feel.
"Nothing~EbookFREE.me~ is a UEFA Champions League group match. We will go all out to pursue victory, it has nothing to do with our opponents, just because we want to win." Zhou Yi answered very indifferently.
"What do you think of Wenger's evaluation of you?"
"I am very happy to get such a high rating. Wenger is a world-class head coach, and his praise is an honor for me."
"Will you consider joining Arsenal in the future?" a reporter from London, England asked impatiently.
Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "I'll talk about it later. I'm only focusing on the current game."
There is no room for the other party to play again.
