The Champions League quarter-finals are no longer like the quarter-finals, with two weeks apart, and the first and second rounds of the quarter-finals are close together, with only one league in between.

The rest adjustment time is less than the eighth finals.

The physical requirements for players to fight continuously are also higher.

At this time, it has to be rotated.

If Dortmund insists on not rotating, then at this time, the team will basically collapse. It was eliminated in the previous two seasons, which is somewhat related to this.

From the beginning of this season, Klopp insisted on rotation. Even if the team's performance was unstable in the early stages of the league, he did not change his plan, so that at the end of the season, the team still had enough energy to sprint on both fronts.

Back in Germany, facing his opponent Augsburg in the weekend league, Klopp adopted a rotation policy, allowing most players who played in the mid-week Champions League games to rest, but several people cannot rest, such as goalkeeper Weidenfeller, central defender Subotic, and Zhou Yi and Lewandowski.

The reason why they can't rest is not because they are very physically good, but just to ensure the team's victory.

Weidenfeller and Subotic ensured the stability of the team's defense line, Zhou Yi was an important figure in inheriting the past and opening up the future, and Lewandowski was the team's arrowhead to attack the city and the team relied on him to score points.

Dortmund, who took the rotation, finally defeated Augsburg 4:2 at his home court. Augsburg once led Dortmund 2:1 and maintained its break until the break.

In the second half, Dortmund counterattacked with all his might, winning three consecutive games, and finally reversed 4:2.

It maintained a trend of continuing to catch up with Bayern Munich.

As for Bayern Munich, they beat Frankfurt 1-0 away. Although the winning was not very convincing, they still won and got a three-pointer.

Their situation is a little better than Dortmund, leading the league standings, and in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, they also defeated Juventus 2-0. Even if the second leg was a away game, Bayern Munich's hope of advancing was much greater than Juventus.

After the game against Augsburg, everyone turned their attention to the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week.

As their opponent, Atletico Madrid scored 0:0 with Getafe in the weekend's La Liga, and Sun Pan did not conced. In this game, it can be clearly seen that Atletico Madrid was in a fatigued manner in coping with the two-line battle. Most of the players were not in the form. Of course, it can also be said that Atletico Madrid's team was not in this league, but in the next Champions League. Facing Getafe, who was obviously weaker than theirs, Atletico Madrid could not win it. With Sun Pan's outstanding performance, they were able to escape from the opponent's Alfonso Stadium.

After the league was over, Atletico Madrid took a day off at its training base and flew to Germany, three days earlier than the competition time.

During these three days, they will use Schalke 04's training base to carry out special training specifically for Dortmund.

Adapt to German weather, venues and food in advance.

Sun Pan was able to reminisce about the old relationship with Yang Muge, and they had a meal together. Of course, Zhou Yi was not invited to this meal, mainly to avoid suspicion.

Everyone is now public figures. Before such an important game, their every move will be the focus of media attention, so if you get together for a meal in private, you will definitely be photographed by the media. Although everyone is friends off the court, hostility on the court does not hinder friendship off the court, it is better not to have any troubles when it is so sensitive.

We are all friends, so we don’t want to cause trouble for our friends.

In the quarterfinals of the first leg, Dortmund was the last team to play, and in the second leg, they became the first team to play, which gave them a day less rest than the first leg.

At 2:45 am on April 10th, Beijing time, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals started, Real Madrid challenged Galatasaray away, and Dortmund faced Atletico Madrid at home.

In China, the match between Dortmund and Atletico Madrid has been listed as a national live broadcast on the free channel.

There were many excited Chinese fans who didn't sleep at all, so they just stayed up until 2:30 and turned on the TV.

Some people set alarm clocks and get up to watch the football.

Before the game started, everyone was discussing how this game would develop, and what kind of performance would be like for Zhou Yi and Sun Pan in their respective teams...

The fans who support Sun Pan and Zhou Yi fought against each other online, making it very lively.

It was not until the off-site signal came from the TV that the network became a little quieter.

Zhou Yi and Sun Pan met again in the player channel. This time, Sun Pan did not attack Zhou Yi anymore, but walked directly to Zhou Yi and said to him: "This time, I will not let you score a goal!"

Zhou Yi smiled: "Hehe, Panpan, do you still remember what I said before? If you don't allow one goal, then you can score two or three goals."

Sun Pan also smiled: "Tanji, everyone sees your performance in the last game. Not to mention two or three, you can get one, you can be patient."

"Then let's make a bet, Panpan."

"Go and bet!" The Northeastern people were the most overwhelmed, and Sun Pan agreed very simply.

"If we scored three of you, you have to post a 140-word 'Wang' on Weibo!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Damn, are you childish? Are you naive? Learning to bark online?" Sun Pan rolled his eyes.

"Just tell me if you scream, right?" Zhou Yi looked at Sun Pan with a smile.

"Damn, what's there to be afraid of? But if you didn't score three goals... no, if you didn't score a goal, you'll learn to bark online!" Sun Pan said.

"I won't bully you, Panpan. As long as we don't score three goals, even if we score two goals, I will say one hundred and forty words." Zhou Yi waved his hand and said.

"Okay, this is what you said! I didn't force you!" Sun Pan pointed to Zhou Yi and said, "Don't be afraid then!"

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse, and I may not lose if I say it."

"Then let's see!" Sun Pan clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled. "This game is even more interesting, hey!"

After saying that, he shook his head and walked away.

He had just left, and Reus, who had been beside him, came over: "Hey, Zhou Yi, what are you talking about with him?"

Zhou Yi and Sun Pan communicated in Chinese, and Reus couldn't understand at all.

Zhou Yi smiled and told Reus the bet he and Sun Pan had just made, and explained to him what "Weibo" means.

Reus opened his mouth wide: "Scoring three goals for him? This..."

He thought of the scene when Sun Pan saved the ball directly from his feet in the last game. Will Zhou Yi be overconfident?

It is difficult to score one goal for Sun Pan, let alone three goals... And even if it is not Sun Pan guarding the goal, it is not easy to score three goals when facing any team. Why does it feel so easy to say it from Zhou Yi's mouth?

However, Reus did not tell Zhou Yi about his worries, but just secretly cheered himself up in his heart - he must not let Zhou Yi learn to bark in front of so many people, how embarrassing it would be! He must not miss the opportunity in this game! Not to mention winning three yuan alone, at least he has to score one goal and one goal, which can be regarded as helping Zhou Yi fulfill one-third of his promise...

On the other side, Sun Pan greeted Zhou Yi for a while, so when he came back, everyone was curious about what he said to Zhou Yi. Usually everyone knows that Sun Pan and Zhou Yi are friends. When Dortmund came to Madrid to challenge Real Madrid's group stage, Sun Pan specially invited him to dinner. He was photographed and posted online, and there was a big and small storm.

Now that the two are enemies, what will they talk about?

"Nothing, he made a bet with me."

"Betting?" Everyone got excited when they heard the bet, and they wanted to hear what kind of bet they made.

"Well, he said they could score three of us in this game. If he couldn't, he would learn to bark online." Sun Pan said briefly.

"Three balls?!" Tulan was surprised and thought he had heard it wrong.

"God, he is too crazy, right?" Falcao also widened his eyes.

Although the team's captain and central defender Godin did not say anything, he could also see from his expression that Zhou Yi's "crazy words" made him feel uncomfortable.

Atletico Madrid's defense is also excellent in La Liga. Not only the goalkeeper Sun Pan, but all defensive players, including Godin, have a share.

Zhou Yi actually said he wanted to score three goals for them?

Isn’t this naked look down on you?

Another central defender Miranda patted Sun Pan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Sun, we will definitely help you win this bet!"

Obviously, it was not just Godin who was angry. All Atletico Madrid defenders had a sense of hatred for the enemy.

Of course, there are Atletico Madrid players who are also surprised. For example, Gabi is very confused: "Is it good for them to say this? Can anger Dortmund benefit Dortmund before the game?"

He couldn't understand this problem, and his teammates might not understand it either, but at this time there was no need to understand it.
