Vol 5 Chapter 209: Fierce fire

Although they defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 4:2 away, Dortmund players still heard some criticism after returning to Germany. The criticism mainly focused on defense.
After all, in the face of the weak St. Petersburg Zenit, Dortmund even lost two goals and could not get zero seals.
This really shows that there is a big problem with their back line.
The absence of Humels and Subotic has a great impact on the team's defense.
Such Dortmund, even after crossing the Zenit St. Petersburg level, as the Champions League schedule deepens, I am afraid they will be difficult to go further. What if the more powerful team can't solve the problem by attacking and the defense can't keep it?
But now it seems that Dortmund's focus should be in the league, the Champions League behind the league.
Just when Dortmund returned to Germany, the Champions League match the next day also proceeded as scheduled. Two other Chinese players made their debut in the Champions League.
The results are different.
Sun Pan played for Chelsea and challenged Juventus away. In the end, the two teams played 1:1.
As an away game, this result is pretty good. He scored an away goal and remained undefeated. Chelsea's hopes of returning to home are higher than Juventus.
The Schalke 04 where Yang Muge is located is facing the powerful Real Madrid.
The strength gap between the two teams is indeed very large, although Yang Muge tried his best in the game, he failed to prevent the team's fiasco at home.
Schalke lost to Real Madrid 1:6 at home. Basically have already bid farewell to the Champions League this season.
Schalke 04 didn't get a goal back by Huntelaar until the ninetieth minute. Finally, he didn't get shaved by his opponent at home.
After this game, many fans in China felt that Yang Muge should seek a transfer and leave Schalke 04. He has already proven his ability in Schalke 04, and there are other teams interested in him in the European transfer market.
Staying in Schalke 04 will not help him in his career. Everyone hopes that Yang Muge can go to a better team and improve himself.
Yang Muge did not respond to the expectations of domestic fans.
He is as low-key as ever, uses social networks less, and appears less often in the media.

After the game of Zenit in St. Petersburg, Dortmund will welcome its opponent in the 23rd round-Nuremberg in the league.
Before this game, there was good news and bad news.
The good news is that Humels, who was injured before, can finally return to the lineup. He will play in this game.
The bad news is that Royce will be automatically suspended in this game because of the accumulation of five yellow cards.
And Nuremberg's recent performance is very good. In the last five rounds of the league, four wins and one loss escaped the relegation zone and only lost to Bayern Munich in good shape.
But Dortmund has also been in good shape recently...
Just five minutes into the opening, Schmelzer made a cross from the bottom to the left. Gross Kreuz shoveled and kicked at the front. Piszick followed the shot and the football missed the goal.
Although the goal was not scored, it set the tone for the game, basically Dortmund pressed Nuremberg.
In the sixteenth minute, Nuremberg goalkeeper Schaefer took the defender's back pass foul and Dortmund received an indirect free kick on the small penalty line.
Mark gave the football kick to Zhou Yi with his heel. Zhou Yi won the ball and volleyed, but the football was blocked by the wall.
Six minutes later, Schmelzer shot a long distance from the door 20 meters away and was saved by Schaefer.
In the twenty-fifth minute, Yan Min passed by on the left side of the penalty area and broke into the penalty area. He chose a small angle to shoot and the football missed the goal post and went out.
Dortmund's offensive was in full swing, and it wasn't until the 30th minute that Nuremberg got the chance. Papasthopoulos made a mistake when passing the pass to Humels in the backcourt, and Delmitch crossed the ball to Peikhart to form a single-shot. The latter faced Weidenfeller. !
As a result, the football hit the right column and popped up!
"Ah! Awesome! Nuremberg almost scored a goal! There was a serious mistake in Dortmund's back line!" Marcel Leff exclaimed. "This is what everyone has always worried about-Dortmund's offense didn't say that this can be seen from their performance in the first 30 minutes of the game. The injury has the lowest impact on their offense. But Dortmund's The back line...it is really not reassuring now..."
Shortly after this error, Klopp made a substitution adjustment. He replaced Friedrich Papadasopoulos with Friedrich.
This is of course not because of Papadasopoulos’ passing pass but because of the fact that after the match against Zenit St. Petersburg, Papastathopoulos was a bit hurt. With injuries.
It can also be seen from this mistake that the injury affected him.
"...Papasta Sopros was repaid in advance because of the injury, but for Dortmund fans, I am afraid that they will be accustomed to seeing their players replaced because of injuries? It's really a evil goal. Dortmund's injuries this season are basically defensive players. Offensive players are quite safe..." Duan Xin said that he felt very incredible.
※※※
After Papasta Sopros was replaced, Dortmund's offensive was not as violent as before, perhaps because Papasta Sopros' mistake made Dortmund's players have some scruples.
Until the 45th minute, after receiving a pass from Mark in the penalty area, Aubameyang shot hard, and the football was blocked by the defender.
This was the last shot of both sides in the first half.
The next half of the game ended with a score of 0:0.
"The Dortmund game started with a very good momentum, but unfortunately it was not possible to score. The thunder and rain were small during the offense. After Papasta Sopros was replaced, they slowed down the pace of the attack and threatened The offensive of course is not much more than before... But in general, Dortmund has the absolute advantage in the first half. It depends on how the two sides adjust during the halftime..."
As a result, there was no substitution on either side during the intermission.
After the start of the second half, Dortmund continued to press against Nuremberg, as at the beginning of the first half.
In this fierce offensive, in the 51st minute, Dortmund scored a free kick on the left and Zhou Yilai took the free kick. Among the skills that Zhou Yi is good at, free kick scoring must not be among them. However, this is not the kind of direct free kick, but indirect free kick.
It is not surprising that Zhou Yilai, who is good at passing, takes indirect free kicks.
He passed the football directly into the penalty area and sent it accurately to Mark's head!
Mark jumped high and headed to the top!
Nuremberg goalkeeper Schaefer flew to save, he put the football a bit, but did not throw away, the football went straight up and down, Hummels rushed up and jumped in front of the goal line, headed the football into the goal!
"Humels makes up the shot! The goal is in!"
Marcel Leif yelled.
"Dortmund finally broke the deadlock!" Duan Xin was also very happy.
Many people breathed out of their hearts.
If Dortmund has been besieging opponents, but cannot score goals, as time goes by, their mentality will always change, and maybe Nuremberg will have a chance.
After all, Dortmund's line of defense is not reassuring.
Now it's much better to lead a ball, the pressure is released, Dortmund can also play more easily and calmly.
Indeed, Dortmund played better after the lead, and threatened offense also increased.
In the fifty-fourth minute, three minutes after Humels scored, Mark received a cross from Yan Min in the penalty area and dived to head the goal. If it wasn’t for Nuremberg goalkeeper Schaefer magically blocked the football Out of the bottom line, could Dortmund still score...
After another four minutes~EbookFREE.me~ Dortmund got a free kick, this time Obameyan came to take the penalty, he shot directly, the football was slightly higher than the beam, and flew to the stands behind !
"Dortmund is really offensive! If you go on like this, Nuremberg will have to lose the ball..." Marcel Leif said.
He hadn't finished saying this. In the 64th minute, Dortmund got a great opportunity.
Zhou Yi received a sideline ball thrown by Schmelzer on the left in the frontcourt, stopped and turned, got rid of the defense, and then crossed the slash from the side to the penalty area.
Facing the Nuremberg players who came up to defend him, he decisively crossed the foot.
Mark kept up and took a shot on the line of the penalty area, kicking the ball calmly, the football rolled into the goal from the lower right corner.
"Mark Wagner -! Dortmund leads Nuremberg 2-0! What did I say before? What did I say before? Nuremberg still has to concede a goal! Dortmund's offensive firepower is really too fierce, Nuremberg has been passively defending It’s hard to resist..."
