Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty The Final Round
Mark Wagner's goal helped Dortmund take the lead at the last moment, although the game could end almost ten minutes later. However, Dortmund, with strong morale, could no longer give Wolfsburg an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Wolfsburg also lacks enough motivation and fighting spirit, and its characteristics are reflected again without desire.
During the rest of the game, both sides were calm and unstable. Dortmund firmly controlled the football under his feet and passed it back and forth. The Wolfsburg players did not come forward to grab the ball, and they could not grab it if they grabbed it and were easily injured. Why bother?
In this way, the last moment of the game ended in this calm.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Dortmund's substitutes rushed into the stadium and hugged and celebrated with his teammates on the stadium.
"The game ends! Dortmund once again won the victory! Now they are only one game away from the three consecutive league championships, ninety minutes away!"
Marcel Leif said.
In another stadium, Bayern Munich scored another goal by Gustavo in the 87th minute, but it was meaningless.
Even if Bayern Munich beat Augsburg ten goals, they still cannot change the status quo where they are still ranked second by one point.
Now that Bayern Munich wants to win the championship, he can only place all hope in the last game. Hoffenheim, who must relegate, can defeat Dortmund away.
Hoffenheim lost to Hamburg 1:4 at home in the game that just ended, and is currently ranked second from the bottom in the league, with 28 points.
In addition to being relegated to Differt early, Hoffenheim's situation is also very dangerous, but there is still a possibility of relegation, because their competitor Augsburg, who was in relegation, lost 0:3 to Bayern Munich away, while the same relegation rival Dusseldorf also lost 1:2 to Nuremberg at home.
The situation is now like this. With one round left in the league, Werder Bremen, the 14th-ranked league, has scored 34 points and has successfully relegated ahead of schedule. Dusseldorf, the 15th-ranked team, has scored 30 points and Augsburg, the 16th-ranked team, and Hoffenheim, the 17th-ranked team, has scored 30 points.
In the last round of the league, Hoffenheim must win to have the possibility of relegation, so that twenty-eight points become thirty-one points, and then hope that Augsburg and Dusseldorf will lose at the same time, so that they can become the fifteenth place, successfully jump out of the three worlds, and stay in the first league.
This is the best solution.
The second-level plan is that they win, and then one of the teams in Dusseldorf or Augsburg loses. In that way, Hoffenheim is the sixteenth in the league, at least avoiding the direct relegation as the last two and qualifying for a relegation play-off, so that they can still struggle for their own destiny.
Augsburg faced Fert, who had been relegated early in the last round, and the possibility of winning was very high.
Dusseldorf challenged Hannover 96 away, and it is difficult to predict the result of this game.
But no matter which plan it is, Hoffenheim himself must win. If they lose, no matter how the opponent plays, it has nothing to do with them.
But their opponent Dortmund must also win this game, otherwise the league championship they won will fly, and Dortmund will never allow this situation to happen.
So in fact, the situation of Hoffenheim's relegation is very bad, and some media even asserted that Hoffenheim will definitely be relegated.
This is really a sad thing for Hoffenheim, who almost created the miracle of Kaiserslautern that year.

After the match against Wolfsburg, there is a whole week left before the next league game.
This week, Klopp and his coaching staff are trying to keep the team calm as much as possible, and they are still training and training every day, and the arrangements are very fulfilling.
The coaches don't want the players to think randomly or be distracted at the last moment.
They hope the team can stay focused.
Hoffenheim is not an easy opponent, especially since they have to win to relegate, so no one knows what they will do at that time.
On the evening of May 18th, Beijing time, in the afternoon of local time, the final finally came.
The last round of the Bundesliga league will kick off at the same time.
The West** Stadium is full, waiting to witness the birth of three consecutive championships.
Because the league championship was not completely confirmed, the Bundesliga also made preparations. They brought two Bundesliga championship prize plates, one was taken to West** Stadium, and the other was at the Prussian Park Stadium, home court at Mönchengladbach.
Some media reported that the real champion prize plates were taken to West** Stadium, while the replicas were taken to the Prussian Park Stadium.
Of course, the Bundesliga official did not explain.
This kind of thing is not easy to explain, because if it is true, it will definitely make Bayern Munich fans unhappy. You official think that Dortmund will win the championship. Is this the intention of the imperial examination?
Although the official did not explain, most people are more willing to believe this rumor.
There was no media report before the game that Dortmund had arranged a celebration after the championship.
Of course, Bayern Munich is a little low-key, after all, they are now behind.
Before the game, Hoffenheim's head coach Marcus Gistor said in an interview that they would fight for relegation: "...This has nothing to do with whether I have Schalke 04's background, it's only related to Hoffenheim. We need a victory to succeed in relegation, so we have to win. I'm not happy to see Dortmund lose the championship, but for Hoffenheim's survival, we have to sacrifice..."
Although he said this, everyone still didn't believe it. He thought that his fighting spirit was definitely related to his former assistant coach at Schalke 04.
He will definitely do his best to fight against Dortmund.
This is good news for Bayern Munich.
So before the game, Dortmund media tried hard to hype Gistor's Schalke 04 background, which is what it means, and wanted to put some public opinion pressure on Gistor.
But in fact, Marcus Gistor was born in Hoffenheim. From 2009 to 2011, he served as head coach at Hoffenheim U23 and also served as assistant coach of first-team head coach Rangnick.
Later he went to Schalke 04 and served as the assistant coach of Dutch coach Stevens.
However, at the end of last year, with Stevens's dismissal, he also left Schalke and returned to Hoffenheim to continue as his assistant coach.
Hoffenheim has been dismissed due to poor performance this season, coach Kurtz and club manager Andreyas Muller have been fired, and Gistor has become the firefighting coach. He is Hoffenheim's fourth head coach this season.
Such frequent coach changes are definitely one of the reasons why Hoffenheim performed poorly this season...

At 9:30 p.m. Beijing time, the stadium of the last nine games in the Bundesliga was also sounded.
The West** Stadium was thunderous, and the fans used this method to cheer for the team, hoping that there would be a good result that satisfies them in the end.
Bayern Munich is also paying close attention to this game, hoping that Hoffenheim can cause trouble for Bayern Munich.
But judging from the game scene, Hoffenheim does not seem to be able to cause any trouble for Dortmund.
Just six minutes into the opening game, Lewandowski scored in the middle, taking the lead for Dortmund!
"The person who scored the goal was Robert" host Norbert Dicole, holding the microphone, roared loudly.
"Lewandowski!!!" Tens of thousands of Dortmund fans responded to him with uniform roars.
"Beautiful! Lewandowski took the lead for Dortmund! Only six minutes of the game! Dortmund had a very good start! It seems that Hoffenheim is difficult to cause trouble for Dortmund in this game... Before the game, everyone is worried that the desire for a league championship will make Dortmund unable to concentrate and unable to enter the game. But now, they are entering the state earlier than Hoffenheim!" Marcel Lef said.
When Lewandowski scored, there seemed to be an earthquake on the West* Stadium, everyone was jumping and the camera lens kept shaking.
"1:0! Great! Dortmund has a fantastic start! As long as this momentum can be continued, they can win the league championship! No matter what the result of Bayern Munich is, it cannot be changed!"
Chapter completed!
