Vol 5 Chapter 196: Best effort

Dortmund, who beat Augsburg at home, is now ranked second in the league.
Since losing to Dortmund on the road, Leverkusen has suffered a losing streak.
A wave of three consecutive losses, let them directly fell from the second position in the league.
Although Dortmund is missing one game, it is still second in the league.
Everyone thinks that Klopp is more practical, and it is better to set the goal of the team to get next season and qualify for the Champions League. The team will not have too much pressure, you can play with your ordinary heart.
On the 29th of January, midweek, the other Bundesliga teams were training as usual, but Dortmund ushered in a home opponent, Hertha Berlin. This is the 17th round of the league.
At that time, Dortmund went to participate in the World Club Cup, so the game that should have been played on December 21st was moved to this day.
In the main scene against Hertha Berlin, after a bitter fight, Dortmund defeated the opponent 2-1 and scored three points.
In the same game, they are only four points away from Bayern Munich!
When many people think of it, they have forgotten that before Dortmund was seven points behind Bayern Munich, Dortmund had one less game than Bayern Munich...
Now the two sides are playing the same number of times, four points behind, it seems that it is not so insurmountable.
Dortmund's media naturally appreciated Dortmund's performance, saying that Dortmund won Hertha Berlin, and the suspense of the league's championship is back.
The majority of neutral melon-eating people are also happy to watch the show of the two males fighting for hegemony, followed by noise.
Overnight, as if Dortmund, the king in Germany, came back...
But in fact Dortmund has not escaped their crisis.
Due to Kuba’s injury, Dortmund wanted to introduce Holtby to replace Kuba.
Holtby used to be a player of Schalke 04, but was sold to Tottenham a year ago by the club for 1.75 million euros. Dortmund wants to buy the former Schalke 04 player from Tottenham Hotspur.
Unfortunately, this plan was not successfully implemented.
During the winter break, Holtby was loaned to Fulham by Tottenham Hotspur.
In the end, Dortmund was almost nothing in this winter break transfer market.
There is no new aid for the positions that need reinforcement, and none of the problems that need to be solved.
Under such circumstances, it is whimsical to want to catch up with Bayern Munich.

"Even if it is considered to be whimsical, I still want to give it a try." Lying in bed at night, Zhou Yi told Cortana about the current difficulties facing the team.
"But the problem is that even if we all win, we can only count on Bayern Munich to make mistakes themselves." Cortana pointed out the problem with Zhou Yi's idea.
"Of course, but first of all we must do our own thing well. If we can't even do our own thing well, how can we expect our opponent to give us a chance?" Zhou Yi pouted. If it is pressured, maybe Bayern Munich will make a mistake? The pressure to lead in the marathon is great."
"I don't think the story of last season can be repeated..." Cortana shook her head.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Cortana did not speak this time, indeed, how can you make a conclusion in advance without trying?
Last season Dortmund faced the same situation as this season, no one believes that Dortmund can finally reverse Bayern Munich to win the championship.
Unexpectedly, on the two fronts of the Champions League, Dortmund has completed a great reversal.
"What if I still tried and still didn't get the desired result?"
Zhou Yi waved his hand: "I don't want that much now, so I will do my best."

Three days later, in the nineteenth round of the league, Zhou Yi did his best to help Dortmund, who lacked the on-site coaching command, on the road away from the relegation team Brunswick 2-1. He dedicated a goal and an assist in this game. It can be said that the reason why Dortmund can win this game is all due to Zhou Yi.
Compared with Dortmund's stumble, Bayern Munich defeated Frankfurt 5-0 at home and won the game without any effort.
The German media exclaimed that Guardiola's team was unbeatable.
Dortmund's media didn't care about this. They were more concerned that in the game against Brunswick, the main center defender Humels finally came back from injury, he played, and played the whole game.
At this juncture, the return of any wounded soldier is good news for Dortmund.
Now Dortmund's backline is not as tight as before.
Schmelzer, Piscek and Humels have all come back, and only Subotic is completely reimbursed this season.
This is great news for Dortmund, whose schedule is intensive.
On February 7, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, they will challenge Werder Bremen away.
Two days after the game, on February 9, Dortmund had another quarter-final to play in the German Cup.
It is certainly impossible to maintain a lineup. So for these two games, Klopp made some adjustments.
The so-called adjustment is of course to give up the German Cup.
Klopp decided to play in Werder Bremen, and when the German Cup is played, as many substitute players and second-tier players as possible will be sent to allow the main players to get a chance to rest, thereby reducing the chance of injury. .
If you have to give up an event, then the German Cup must be no suspense.
This event is the most tasteless, the lowest gold content.
This event will only be considered if the other events have no hope of winning.
Last season Klopp gave up the German Cup decisively, so that the team maintained a good upward momentum in the league and the Champions League, and finally won the double crown in one fell swoop.
This season, when the team encountered difficulties and could not fight on multiple lines, the German Cup must be the first to be abandoned.
Klopp thought very well, but just before a warm-up match against Werder Bremen, Humels, who had just recovered from injury, was injured again!
When Humels was lifted off the court, Klopp's expression was... a numb expression.
Yes, after so many injuries this season, Klopp couldn't do without numbness.
Even if there is no sickness on the team in any month, he will feel strange and uncomfortable.
Soon, the media reported that Hummels had just recovered and was injured.
In addition to pro-Dortmund's media, other media are sneering at Dortmund, exclaiming that they must be cursed by the devil this season.
In other words, they should not reverse the championship last season. Both the league and the Champions League have reversed their championship. They have seriously overdrawn their luck, and now it is time for them to repay their debt for crazy overdraft.
The latest news is that Hummels will be in a truce for two weeks because of this injury.
"...Good news, Hummels only needs a two-week break! It's better than a two-month truce, isn't it?" This is the self-deprecation of the Dortmund media.

Humels' injury before the game cast a shadow over Dortmund's away game against Werder Bremen.
Klopp is on the strongest lineup he can.
But this lineup makes people look at it and only feels sad. This set of remnants is Dortmund's current strongest lineup. It is really the same as Dortmund last season...
But when the game started, the situation on the court was a bit different from what everyone expected...
From the beginning of the game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Dortmund was firmly in control of the situation.
Why is this happening?
Because Zhou Yi's performance today is very positive. From the first minute of the game, he ran nonstop and appeared in every corner of the court. No matter who the Dortmund player takes the ball, as long as he looks up, he can definitely see Zhou Yi for the first time.
Driven by Zhou Yi, Dortmund's team was like a high-speed machine, dragging Werder Bremen into it, and then crushed and roasted.
In the twenty-sixth minute, Mark Wagner received a cross from Yan Min and scored a header for Dortmund. Yan Min received the pass from Zhou Yi before the pass.
After leading, Dortmund continued to maintain the original oppression situation, so that Werder Bremen could not organize an effective attack at all, and could only be beaten by Dortmund.
This made the commentator Marcel Leff a little surprised: "Whose home is this..."
