Chapter 111 Mark's Hat Trick
When Zhou Yi and Cortana's relationship was made public, it really attracted a lot of attention, which can be regarded as a big news in football, especially in Germany and China, which aroused heated discussions among everyone.
Many female fans were heartbroken, while many male fans were more concerned about the beautiful team doctor Kotana.
However, this craze did not last long. As Zhou Yi thought, this is not the mainstream of football, it is just gossip about the leftover materials. Everyone chats after dinner, and no one cares about it after a few days. Unless he makes news with Cortana all day long... But is that still a normal person?
After Zhou Yi made his relationship with Cortana straightforward, he left this matter behind.
The 11th round of the league that will play against Stuttgart at home is already close.
Now that the ten rounds of the league are over, Dortmund's score is eight wins, one draw and one loss, and twenty-five points, ranking second in the league standings.
The first is Dortmund's old rival, Bayern Munich.
The team led by Guardiola has not lost so far. They won eight wins and two draws in the new season in the ten league rounds, and remained unbeaten.
If I hadn't lost to Dortmund last season, I'd like to set a new record of unbeaten.
Of course, if they didn't lose to Dortmund last season, they would be the league champion...
Bayern Munich, who has switched to Guardiola this season, has only one goal, which is very simple, that is, to regain the position of Bundesliga overlord from Dortmund.
The coaching experience in Barcelona has made Guardiola a world-class head coach. The grudges and resentment between him and Mourinho for many years are also topics that everyone talks about.
During the four seasons coached by Barcelona, Guardiola led the team to drop its arch rival Real Madrid again and became the overlord of Spanish and domestic football. After four years of leadership, he played a total of 247 games, 179 wins, 47 draws and 21 losses, with an astonishing victory rate of 72.47%, and led the team to win fourteen championship trophys, including three La Liga titles, two Champions League titles, two Spanish Copa del Rey titles, three Spanish Super Cup titles, two European Super Cup titles and two Club World Cup titles.
He also led Barcelona to the first triple crown in La Liga history, the first triple crown in the 21st century, and the first six crown in the history of world football.
Barcelona led by him is called the "Dream Team Three" and is compared with Cruyff's "Dream Team One" and Rijcard's "Dream Two". However, some people believe that his achievements are greater than Cruyff and Rijcard. Barcelona played pleasing football under his command and also received amazing honors.
For a time, Guardiola became the leader among young European coaches, and even surpassed the previous "madman" Mourinho.
In Barcelona, Guardiola has fully demonstrated his ability as a head coach.
He coached Bayern Munich, which is considered the key to Bayern Munich's re-emergence. After being pushed by Dortmund for three seasons, Bayern Munich finally welcomed the best candidate to lead the team to compete with Klopp.
Bayern Munich did perform very well after Guardiola took over. The unbeaten in the league in ten rounds is the best evidence.
For Dortmund and Klopp, Guardiola is definitely the strongest opponent.
This can be seen from the performance of the two teams in the league standings. Although the league has just begun ten rounds, the two teams are biting very tightly.
Dortmund ranked second with 25 points, while Bayern Munich ranked first with 26 points, and only one point advantage.
No game can be lost.
In the 11th round of the league, the match between Dortmund and Stuttgart was the first game of this round of the league.
Although he had just participated in a very intense Ruhr derby and although he was in the Champions League group stage with Arsenal three days later, Klopp did not take the rotation in this game.
They are one point behind Bayern Munich. With such fierce competition, there is no such thing as a front that can be abandoned.
The game just started thirteen minutes, but Stuttgart, who played away, took the lead. Tunisian central defender Karim Haji used his height advantage to head the ball in a corner kick. Weidenfell could not react to the header that was close at hand. Although he made a save, it was already after the football flew into the goal...
"Karim Haji!!! He took the lead for Stuttgart!!"
Stuttgart players celebrated at West** Stadium, which made the noise of Dortmund fans stagnate.
But soon, boos from Dortmund fans rang over the court.
Stuttgart players seem to have not realized that their goals have angered Dortmund.
Just six minutes after they took the lead, Dortmund also won a corner kick. In this corner, Shahin kicked the ball towards the goal, and central defender Hummels pushed the ball into Stuttgart's goal to tie the score!
"After just six minutes, Dortmund equalized the score! It was also a header from the corner kick!"
Huge cheers rang out again at West** Stadium.
But the equalization is not the end, but just the beginning.
Just three minutes after equalizing the score, Zhou Yi sent a second pass in the frontcourt, Reus cut inward and shot in the far corner in the penalty area. The football flew into Stuttgart's goal for the second time!
"Royce! Dortmund led 2:1! It only took three minutes from equalization to leading!"
After leading, Dortmund's offensive was even more like a storm, and Stuttgart couldn't even lift his head. They could only shrink their defense to avoid losing more balls.
In the end, the first half ended with Dortmund leading Stuttgart 2-1 with one goal.
After a fifteen-minute intermission break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
In the 54th minute, Reus made a cross from the wing, and Mark scored a header in front of the goal, 3:1!
Two minutes later, Dortmund made a comeback. In the counterattack, Zhou Yi divided the football into the gap in the ribs. After receiving the ball there, Mark directly shot from a long shot. The football flew into Stuttgart's goal against the turf, 4:1!
"Mark!! Scored twice! In just two minutes, Dortmund rewritten the score of 2:1 to 4:1! The game has ended early!!"
As Marcel Leif said, the game has ended early. Although the game is more than 30 minutes away, Dortmund, who is three goals ahead and playing at home, can make Stuttgart turn the tables on their territory?
Considering that there will be a game with Arsenal in the future, Klopp also made substitution adjustments.
In the 59th minute, he replaced Reus with Aubameyang. This means giving Reus more rest. After all, the mid-week game against Arsenal is the most important game.
Ten minutes later, Schmelzer was also replaced by Dum.
However, the successive substitutions did not stop Dortmund's goal momentum, or did not stop Mark Wagner from being in extremely outstanding shape today.
In the 72nd minute, he grabbed the opponent's mistake and scored another goal!
"Mark!! Hat trick! Hat trick! This is his first hat trick this season!! After Lewandowski left the team, many people were worried about Dortmund's ability to score goals on the front line, but Mark's current performance has dispelled many people's concerns! People seem to have seen the rising star before he was seriously injured!"
Mark was also very excited after scoring the goal. He rushed to the coaching seat and bench and plunged into the crowd.
The past two seasons have been too difficult for Mark. It was just when he soared to the sky, but he suddenly suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament of his knee and had not played for a whole season. After his comeback, he had just performed well and suffered another injury. After that, he suffered minor injuries and played intermittently. His main position in the team had long been snatched away by Lewandowski. He lost everything from the club's hope star and the new national team's national team.
However, his key goal in the Champions League final helped Dortmund get the opportunity to reverse Bayern Munich. After Lewandowski left the team, he was entrusted with important tasks by Klopp and re-placed as the starting center. His performance was also excellent and he suddenly found his peak state that year.
When Lewandowski left the team, he filled the problem that many people were worried about...
※※※
Not long after Mark scored, Klopp used up the last substitution spot in the game. He replaced Zhou Yi with Mkhitaryan, so that Zhou Yi could also get a rest. After all, he had just recovered from a serious injury. The last Ruld derby against Schalke 04 was his first game after he recovered from injury.
Be more cautious.
Dortmund, who ended Zhou Yi, did not stop his offense.
In the 81st minute, Mark, who completed a hat-trick, gave an assist, and Aubameyang, who came on the bench, scored, and Dortmund completely defeated Stuttgart 6:1.
After this game, Dortmund temporarily surpassed Bayern Munich, who had not played against Hoffenheim, and became the first in the league with the advantage of one more game.
Bayern Munich's game will be played the next afternoon, and they will challenge Hoffenheim away.
