In any case, it is quite a pleasure to win continuously and rank at the top of the standings.

But Dortmund fans were not happy for long.

On Tuesday, the Dortmund Club announced on its official website that Gundogan's injury was not optimistic. He originally only needed two weeks of rest and would have to rest for another month.

This is absolutely bad news for Dortmund fans.

The previous national team's forced recruitment of Gundogan caused his injury to worsen. When he only needed two weeks of rest, the fans felt that there was no need to make trouble and regarded Gundogan as a resumption.

I didn’t expect that my injury has worsened and I still need a month to rest?!

Is this a joke?

It seems that the injury suffered in the national team is not as light as expected...

Dortmund's statement mentioned: "...Gundogan will still be unusable in the next few weeks. Gundogan went to the hospital for an MRI test on Monday to determine his injury. Dortmund club doctor Marcus Braun believes that due to the heavy load below Gundogan's spine, it will take about a month to recover..."

This means that Gundogan will definitely not be able to participate in the next German national team matches and miss Dortmund's several rounds of league and Champions League matches. It may not be possible to return until October 5th with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Soon, news was disclosed in detail about Gundogan's injury. According to the examination, Gundogan's back compression caused by the displacement of spondylolisthesis, and his injury recovered slowly. Two weeks passed without any sign of improvement.

Dortmund is facing a multi-line battle this season, with intensive matches, which tests the thickness of the team's bench. It is not known how huge the injury of Gundogan will have on Dortmund, but the anger of fans can no longer be curbed.

Angry Dortmund fans left a message on Twitter: "Is this what Loeve wants to see?!" And they also @Loeve, the German Football Association, and the official accounts of the German national team.

Dortmund fans also launched an event on Twitter to "request Love to apologize to Dortmund fans" and quickly received 10,000 likes and support.

Dortmund's media also went to interview Lov and asked him to talk about his views on this matter in fact, to embarrass Lov in person.

Lof also seemed helpless: "No one wants to encounter such a thing, I can only say it's a pity..."

Dortmund's reporters were reluctant to give in: "If you had asked Gundogan to rest, wouldn't this result be there today?"

"I don't know." Lov shook his head and shrugged, giving a very vague answer.

Dortmund Club and head coach Klopp remained silent in this matter.

Now they are not good at saying it. From the perspective of the club, they will inevitably find excuses for other clubs to attack them, believing that they have no overall view and will harm the interests of the German national team for their own selfish interests. But if they help Löw speak, they will offend the financial and fans.

Klopp was asked by the reporters before saying, "We will pay close attention to Gundogan's injury. This is a very sad thing... Fortunately, Zhou Yi is healthy..."

This statement was interpreted by Chinese media as "stand flag", which scared many Chinese fans to pray for Zhou Yi online, for fear that he would be "cursed" by Klopp...

Gundogan's injury upset the fans, but in fact, what upsets Dortmund's club is not the injured Gundogan, but Gundogan in the renewal.

Before the pre-season training camp began, I said that one of the important tasks of the club's senior management this season is to sign new contracts with important players of those teams.

Of course, this includes the outstanding performance of Kindogan Kindogan originally bought it as a backup for Zhou Yi, but after Kagawa Shinji left the club, Zhou Yi's position premise, Gindogan partnered with Sven Bend in the midfielder position very well, and performed well, which made Shahin, who was bought out by the club, only play as a substitute.

However, the contract renewal with Gundogan was not smooth.

Among the many transfer rumors about the departure of Dortmund players, there are many related to Gundogan, and they are all giant-level interests, such as Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The contract renewal negotiations were going very badly, but now Gundogan is injured again. Gundogan's agent told the club that since he still needs to rest for a month, the players of course hope to recover and recover first. Their mood will also be remembered that their injuries will be recovered. They will renew their contract after the injury is healed.

The club is not good forcing Gundogan to renew his contract when he is injured, which will give people the impression of taking advantage of the situation. After Lewandowski's transfer storm, the club's image is not very good. Tolewandowski's agent's "fortune" is now many people think that Dortmund is a club without trust. After all, their ceo, Votsk can refuse to admit it when he agrees...

So the Dortmund Club had to temporarily stop the contract renewal negotiations with Gundoan's agent.

But Gundogan's contract expired in June 2015, and there are less than two years left. These two years are too long for players and clubs, and it is enough for a lot of things to happen.

If they don't agree to renew the contract, Kandagan might follow Shinji Kagawa, Gotze and Lewandowski...

It’s okay to go to Real Madrid and Manchester United, what if they are poached by Bayern Munich again?

So when Gundogan's injury was suspended, the senior executives of Dortmund Club were a little bit waxed.

In the fourth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Frankfurt away. Since there is another important game next, Klopp naturally also rotated in this league.

Dortmund's performance this time is better than the previous two games. At least in the tenth minute of the game, Mkhitaryan took the lead for Dortmund and helped Dortmund lead 1:0 on the road. The star who missed most of the previous games due to injury finally seized the opportunity in this game.

So Chinese fans began to worry about Yan Min's future again... But in fact, the positions and technical styles of Mkhitaryan and Yan Min were different, and there was no possibility of direct competition...

If there is a competitive relationship as long as you play in the midfield, Yan Min will basically have no way to survive...

In fact, Mkhitaryan's competitor should be Zhou Yi, because Mkhitaryan played as a midfielder, and he also replaced Zhou Yi in this game. But everyone seems to be worried about Zhou Yi's position. They believe that as long as Klopp's mind has not yet been in the water, it is impossible for Mkhitaryan to completely replace Zhou Yi. In the conception of Chinese fans, the Armenian midfielder star should be introduced as a rotation substitute for Zhou Yi.

Besides, even if Klopp really got into his mind, with Zhou Yi's current status, is he still missing somewhere to go? So Chinese fans are not worried about Zhou Yi, but only Yan Min, who has just arrived in Dortmund and has not yet gained a foothold.

Frankfurt, who played at home, was not a vegetarian. In the 36th minute, the forward Kadletz equalized the score.

In the last minute of the first half, Hummels received a yellow card. Before the second half began, the fourth official signaled Dortmund to substitution on the sidelines, and Klopp replaced Hummels with Papastatopoulos.

This substitution is not a punishment for Klopp to receive a yellow card for Hummels. Klopp did this because he considered that there would be the European Super Cup with Chelsea next, so the main central defender should rest more. A normal rotation.

Ten minutes into the second half, ten minutes, Mkhitaryan scored twice. This time it was Groskreuz who helped him.

"Mkhitaryan scored twice! He finally showed his value! Since he transferred to Dortmund, he has been troubled by injuries! And this game made everyone realize why he was favored by so many European giants! Fortunately, Dortmund was the one who got him in the end... Seeing the state shown by Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan one after another, I believe Klopp should be more relaxed, right? Even if Gundogan cannot come back for the time being, everyone doesn't have to worry so much..."

Duan Xin was worried: "Aubameyang, Jonas Hoffman, Mkhitaryan... Yan Min's competitors are all very strong..."

In this game, Yan Min did not appear in Dortmund's 18-man roster at all, and he stayed in Dortmund. This is also his four consecutive league games. Chinese media is not asking Yan Min publicly when he will be included in the roster, but it does not mean that they are not in a hurry.

Do you know when Yan Min will get the opportunity?

After Mkhitaryan regained the lead for Dortmund, Frankfurt significantly strengthened the offensive. They changed two players in the 66th and 71st minutes to strengthen the offensive, hoping to equalize the score and reverse the defeat of Dortmund at home. They didn't think much about it.

Klopp also made a substitution. He replaced Kuba with Aubameyang and asked Zhou Yi to replace Mkhitaryan.

These two substitutions are very targeted. Zhou Yi's appearance and Aubameyang can fight back. With Zhou Yi's straight pass, he can use Aubameyang's speed advantage. If Frankfurt is unwilling to fail like this, they will definitely invest more troops in the offense, and there will definitely be a lot of space behind him. This is a good opportunity to make Aubameyang attack.

At the same time, Zhou Yi's appearance can also strengthen the control of the midfield. With him, Dortmund can also stabilize his position in the face of the crazy impact that Frankfurt may have. This is something Mkhitaryan cannot do at present.

After Zhou Yi was replaced, he immediately used excellent passes and running positions to help the team withstand the counterattack in Frankfurt.

Faced with the fierce snatch of Frankfurt players, Zhou Yi seemed calm and composed, with a general style in every move.

Duan Xin was very happy: "Although Mkhitaryan scored twice, you should know that the real core of Dortmund can only be Zhou Yi. Looking at his performance like this, even if there is no goal or assist, who can ignore his importance to Dortmund?"

In the end, under the control of Zhou Yi and the threat of Aubameyang's speed, Frankfurt's offense failed to break through Dortmund's goal.

Dortmund beat Frankfurt 2-1 away and won their 22 consecutive league wins.

The score was the same as the previous game, but the scene was different. The process of this game made people who had doubts about Dortmund before see the positive side of people. At least Klopp insisted on rotation, allowing every first-team player to get the training of the game as much as possible and integrate into the team. When it is mid-to-late season, such rotation can reflect the value it deserves...

With four consecutive league wins in the new season, Dortmund's entire team is ready to welcome their strong opponents in the European Super Cup.
Chapter completed!
