Chapter 150 The first place in the group stage

After leading two goals, Dortmund relaxed slightly, but in the 57th minute, Twente's forward Nasser Shadley scored a goal.

Then Groschloitz shoveled people behind the scenes in the battle, causing him to get a red card and was sent off directly!

In fact, when Twente scored, Dortmund didn't think it was a big deal. With their strength, it was easy to gain the lead again.

However, when Groschloitz was sent off with a red card, they really felt nervous.

Twente is very happy with his support. Now the score is only one goal away, and the number of players is one more than the opponent. If we work hard, we may be able to tie a strong opponent again!

Some people think more radically and think they can look forward to a victory.

But what the Twentes thought was obviously a bit too beautiful.

Even if Dortmund is missing one person, as long as they get serious, they will still be enough to crush them at their home court.

Just four minutes after Groschloitz was sent off, Dortmund organized an attack.

After Zhou Yi got the ball in the midfield, he passed the football to Gotze and then ran forward.

Because Groschloitz was sent off, Shinji Kagawa, who was supposed to play the front midfielder, went to the wing and started the winger.

In this way, there was no one in the area in front of the midfield, and Zhou Yi was just in time to insert it.

While running forward, Zhou Yi was already observing and imprinting the running positions of the players on both sides in his mind.

When Gotze passed the football back to him, he didn't even need to stop the ball and observe anything. He picked the football and passed it with one kick!

The football went over the Twente defenders' heads and fell behind them.

The defender Twente, who was picked over his head, turned around and saw Dortmund's No. 45 appear in front of him!

He raised his arms and signaled that the opponent was offside.

But I didn't hear the whistle of the referee, but I heard the overwhelming cheers.

Amid the cheers, the No. 45 player stretched out his foot to stop the football, and then kicked the other foot to the football!

"Mark Wagner-!!" Marcel Lef shouted in a long voice.

The football kicked by Mark flew past Twente goalkeeper Mikhailov and then hit the net behind him!

"The ball is in! Mark Wagner!! Dortmund's beautiful cooperation! No offside! He is not offside!"

After scoring the goal, Mark lay on the ground for about half a second before getting up from the ground, and then turned around to celebrate the goal.

As a result, he just turned around and ran into Gotze who was rushing up.

The two hugged each other, and Zhou Yi quickly came up to join in the fun.

"3:1! Mark scored his first Champions League goal this season! This young man is simply the hottest player in Dortmund recently... No, he is the hottest player in Germany! Since he came on the bench in the Ruhr area, he has performed well continuously, not only in the league, but also in the Champions League! Dortmund's youth training camp has finally received a lot of results!"

※※※

Scoring in the Champions League is a very happy thing for Mark, but now he will not feel as unreal as scoring in the league.

After several consecutive games, he has gradually become accustomed to his role changes, from an unknown substitute player to a highly anticipated and eye-catching starter.

He had to bear all kinds of gazes, and his confidence was increasing little by little. He began to feel that he was lucky to score goals. He thought it was the result of his hard training and active performance on the court. In other words, it was all his due, and it was his strength.

Thinking of this, Mark felt much less suspicious.

※※※

Originally, Dortmund was missing one person, which made Twente's confidence suddenly increase.

But four minutes after Groschloitz received a red card, Mark scored a goal, helping Dortmund expand the score again. This was like pouring a basin of cold water on Twente's players.

Twente players realize the huge gap in strength between them and Dortmund, even if they have one more person, it cannot be compensated.

With this idea, Twente's offensive threatened much less.

Dortmund's offense is not over yet. Facing such a weak opponent, victory is no longer the first pursuit, but to get more goal difference. In this way, when you need to make a goal difference in the future, you will not regret it.

So Dortmund's offensive remains unabated.

And in the 85th minute, Lewandowski, who came on the bench, added icing on the cake to expand the score to 4:1.

However, this ball has nothing to do with Zhou Yi, because Zhou Yi has already ended, and the person who replaced him was Lewandowski.

The reason why Zhou Yi ended early is that there will be a very important league for Dortmund next.

The importance is no less than the Ruhr derby of Schalke 04.

That is the seventh round of the league, where they face Bayern Munich at home.

In order to ensure that Zhou Yi has a better rest and ensure that his physical fitness is fine, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi in advance in two consecutive Champions League group matches.

※※※

In the end, Dortmund defeated Twente, who was not very strong at home 4-1, and won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.

After two rounds of group stages, the team ranked first in this group is Dortmund, not Inter Milan, which is definitely something that no one expected before the group stage.

This is because Dortmund is the only team in this group that has won completely.

However, no one can say that Dortmund will definitely get the right to qualify in the group or win the first place in the group. Because they only played two games in the group stage, there were a total of six games.

Besides, Dortmund has not played with Inter Milan yet, so this is probably the game that determines where Dortmund will eventually be.

Inter Milan tied by Twente in the first round of the group stage, which was a dislike.

In this round of group stage, their performance was finally normal, and they beat Valencia 4-0 at home.

Their performance in this game also restored supporters' confidence in them.

If Inter Milan can continue this state, the two games against Dortmund will definitely be interesting.

And what about Dortmund?

After playing against Twente, they did not focus on the Champions League.

Because I said before, the opponent they will challenge next is Bayern Munich, the overlord of German football.

Although Bayern Munich has habitually slowed down and started poorly in the new season, Dortmund dared not slacken.

In fact, after the start of the new season, the teams Dortmund encountered in the schedule are basically mid- and upper-level teams with great strength. If Dortmund started last season, they would probably be ranked last at this time.

But now, they rank second, three points behind Mainz, who won six games and six games.

As for Bayern Munich...

In the last round of the league, they lost 1:2 at home to Mainz, who is currently ranked first.

Mainz's start of the season really made everyone unexpected that Tuchel's team uses young players more often, but instead plays fiercely and has maintained a complete victory so far, which even Dortmund has not done.

Bayern Munich is not in good shape at the moment, which gives Dortmund a chance to take revenge.

At the beginning of the league last season, both Dortmund and Bayern Munich were not in good shape. At that time, Bayern Munich even scored the worst start in 40 years under the leadership of new coach Van Gaal.

Dortmund is not much better either.

However, Bayern Munich later defeated Juventus 4-1 in the Champions League group stage, and also won nine consecutive victories in the league, unbeaten for more than a dozen consecutive games. With such outstanding performance, they regained the top spot in the league and reached the final in the Champions League.

In the end that season, Bayern Munich won the double championship in the league and the German Cup, and coupled with the runner-up in the Champions League, this was the best season after Bayern Munich won the Champions League in 2001.

Dortmund lost all of his two matches against Bayern Munich last season, especially in the first leg of the league. Bayern Munich beat Dortmund 5-0 away, which was a shame for Dortmund. In the second half of the season, Dortmund's form also recovered, but when he challenged Bayern Munich away, he still lost to the opponent.

One season he was double-killed by Bayern Munich.

For any team that wants to look forward to the Bundesliga championship, Bayern Munich is a hurdle they can never avoid.

If you can't beat Bayern Munich, don't want to win the league championship.

Although even if you beat Bayern Munich twice, it only has six points, the symbolic significance is obviously greater than the actual significance. Being able to defeat Bayern Munich can enhance your players' great confidence, and confidence is the most important quality in the road to championship.

Where a person believes that he can go determines where his ultimate destination is.

The same goes for a team.
