After playing against Fert, Dortmund will face Mainz in six days.

Then came the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Dortmund's opponent in the semi-finals was Real Madrid, who eliminated Galatasaray in the quarterfinals.

For this opponent, Dortmund's media is very happy to meet.

Because in the group stage, the two teams were once divided into a group. Dortmund achieved a good double-killing record when he played against Real Madrid at home and away in the group stage - he won both home and away games.

Again facing Real Madrid, it can be said that Dortmund and others should have psychological advantages.

Dortmund's championship rival Bayern Munich in the league, and Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

The Champions League semi-finals this season are the "Double German Super League" and the "Double Spanish Super League".

Such a neat match is really rare.

I wonder if the enemies in their respective leagues can meet in the final and turn the Champions League final into a civil war?

In the game against Mainz, Klopp continued his rotation, and many players who played against Felter in the last game did not appear in the starting lineup, instead they were players who played as a substitute in the last game or did not even make the roster.

Mark Wagner replaced Lewandowski to start.

Gotze, who sat on the bench for ninety minutes in the last game, also started. From this point of view, it can be seen that it was not because Klopp did not appear in the last game.

Zhou Yi is also the starter, who is not on the rotation list.

After several years of special training, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is no longer a problem.

But today's game is not the same as the last Dortmund beat Fert 6-1.

Facing Tuchel's team, Dortmund did not play easily.

Just one minute into the game, Reus scored his first record for the team, and many people were looking forward to Dortmund's repeated victory like Dortmund in the last game.

But the next game did not develop very smoothly.

The reason is related to the performance of the arrow character Mark.

Today, Mark was very active and active, but some... were too active and he seemed a little anxious.

When the football reaches his feet, he always can't wait to try a shot, and seems to care very much about whether he can score.

Marcel Leif also saw Mark's abnormal performance: "Marke's desire to shoot today is very strong. Perhaps the foot frame in the last game stimulated him?"

Because Mark always rushes to shoot, Dortmund's offense is not very smooth, because the football reaches Mark's feet, which basically means the offense is over.

Even if Zhou Yi raised his hand to ask for the ball, Mark still insisted on shooting himself.

In addition, Mainz was very tenacious in his away game, which made Dortmund difficult and could not expand his lead again for a long time.

In the first half, Hummels and Reus received yellow cards.

In the second half, Dortmund strengthened the offensive, but Mark, as the arrowhead, was still in poor form.

As a last resort, Klopp replaced Mark in 67 minutes and allowed Lewandowski to play.

Mark seemed a little dissatisfied with being replaced in advance. He pointed at himself and asked repeatedly in disbelief: "Is it me? Is it me?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, he waved his arm in annoyance and walked down.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Yi frowned.

Today's Mark is a bit abnormal. In the past, he rarely showed such intense emotions in public...

After the game, Mark simply shook hands with Klopp, sat in his seat, put a towel on his shoulder, and did not say hello to anyone, staring at the court in a daze.

After Lewandowski appeared, Dortmund's offense improved significantly, and at least more passes near the penalty area were allowed to pass more balls.

In fact, in terms of ability, Lewandowski is indeed better than Mark, and he is more comprehensive than Mark. But before he was seriously injured, he was in a good state. He was in an upward period and could do whatever he wanted. At that time, he won a lot of favor in the whole of Europe, which was not something Lewandowski could shake.

But the injury that professional players fear the most is to find Mark. If they are not injured, then Lewandowski may not have the chance to exert his full ability.

The reason why some players can succeed is not only because of their strong strength, but also because of the favor of the goddess of luck.

Mark's injury gave Lewandowski a chance to show himself, and Lewandowski also made great efforts and seized this opportunity. During the year when Mark was seriously injured, he became Dortmund's number one scorer.

Mark's performance after he suffered from injury was actually OK. If it could continue, he would definitely compete with Lewandowski directly, which would make Lewandowski feel tremendous pressure.

If Lewandowski is the representative of being favored by the goddess of luck at a critical moment, then Mark is the representative of luck and arrears.

Mark, who had just had a good momentum, was injured in the Champions League, and was injured for another month.

When he came back again, he encountered the Gotze transfer incident again, and the team's morale was unstable, and he himself was also affected.

Sometimes, I really have to sigh that good fortune is so good...

Finally, in the 84th minute, Lewandowski received a cross from Kuba and headed the ball to the top, scoring a goal to lock the victory for Dortmund.

After he scored, deafening cheers rang out throughout the court.

He has always been leading by one goal before, which really makes Dortmund fans worried.

Now, Lewandowski helped the team secure the victory.

On the bench, Dortmund players all jumped out of their seats to celebrate the goal, and Mark was among them.

He slapped his teammates, hugged and celebrated the goal, which was completely different from his performance of being in a daze when he just left the court.

The TV broadcast also gave him a shot. If Mark sat on the bench at this time and was indifferent to Lewandowski's goal, then the media would have some hype after the game.

But unfortunately, Mark did not show the emotions the media wanted to see.

You know, when Mark was replaced, his series of reactions really made many people think that he was unwilling to be replaced in advance due to competition with Lewandowski.

Many media have made a good decision about the disagreement between Mark and Lewandowski...

※※※

Dortmund relied on goals from Reus and Lewandowski to beat Mainz 2-0 at home.

At the same time, in another stadium, Bayern Munich's away game against Hannover 96 was also over. Although Bayern Munich played away, he still had a big victory - 6:! Sweeping the home team Hannover 96, he really didn't leave anyone with any face.

In the last game, Dortmund won 6:1, and Bayern Munich's big victory score was also 6:! The two teams are more powerful...

※※※

Although he won the game, Mark was criticized by the media.

Some media even think that Mark is too whimsical to compete with Lewandowski now. The continuous injuries have made Mark no longer qualified to compete with Lewandowski. They are no longer players of the same level and level.

This is very mean, and Zhou Yi was very upset when he read it.

Mark's performance in the game was indeed not very good, but who has not had any ups and downs?

Zhou Yi decided to talk to Mark and enlighten him, so that he would not care too much about the competition with Lewandowski. After all, he had just returned from injury and needed time to find the feeling and rhythm of the game again.

But when he found Mark and chatted with him privately, Mark's reaction was different from what he expected.

"Do you think I'm going to compete with Robert for the starting position, Zhou Yi?"

"Huh?" Zhou Yi didn't expect Mark to ask himself in this way. He didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Zhou Yi who was confused, Mark smiled: "Robert did a good job. How could I compete with him now? I know very well what my position is. At present, just be a substitute."

Zhou Yi became more and more confused as he listened: "Since you understand everything, why did you play against Mainz in the game..."

Mark knew why Zhou Yi was looking for him, but when it came to this topic, his expression changed and his smile disappeared.

"Are you okay, Mark?" Zhou Yi also noticed something strange about his good friend.

"I'm very good, Zhou Yi. Actually... my performance was a bit bad and impatient in that game. I also saw the criticism of me in the media. I think they were right... But at that time I just couldn't control my emotions. I wanted to prove in front of Mario that we Dortmund are not worse than Bayern Munich. I want to use my performance to help the team win. I want... Mario regrets his decision..."

Mark murmured.

Only then did Zhou Yi understand what the problem was...

After the news that Gotze was about to transfer spread within the team, Mark did not have any special reaction. Groskreutz and Gotze broke up, but Mark was so calm that it was not eye-catching.

Now Zhou Yi understands what's strange about this.

With Mark's character, he should not be calm.

It seems that Mark is indeed not calm now, but he hides the storm in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, Mark seems to have worked harder in training since the incident of Gotze came out.

He was also filled with anger...

Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder: "Don't think so much, Mark. Everyone has their own ambitions, no need to force it. Just do our own things well."

Mark nodded: "Later I figured it out too. I guess no matter what I do or what Dortmund is like, Mario will not regret this transfer decision. After all, he likes Bayern Munich so much..."

Speaking of this, Mark smiled: "He is completely different from me."

Then he looked at Zhou Yi and said seriously: "Actually, it's not that I can't accept his transfer, I just can't accept that he chose to leave at this time... When the season is over, no one will complain about where he wants to go. But at this time, his approach really affects the team too much... Zhou Yi, if you want to leave in the future, don't learn from Mario."

Zhou Yi was startled and waved his hand quickly: "I haven't wanted to leave yet..."

"You are completely different from me, too." Mark shook his head and said. "Even if I were to play a substitute in Dortmund for the rest of my life, I would do it. But I can feel that you will not stay in Dortmund all the time. That's nothing, you should go to a bigger stage."

Faced with such an open-minded Mark, Zhou Yi was silent and didn't know what to say.

He really never thought of staying in Dortmund for the rest of his life, even if he was always the core.

The world is so big that he doesn't want to live his life in one place.
