When Shahin landed from the air and then fell to the ground, Klopp felt his heart stop beating. He stared blankly at the helpless ankles, the pain and helpless Shahin. A sound suddenly appeared in his mind, and the voice was murmuring and repeating the same sentence: "It's time, it's time to end..."

This voice caused Klopp to silence.

What should be over?

Is it time for Dortmund's championship cycle to end?

In fact, after Dortmund won the Champions League last season, whether Dortmund will decline is a question that many people are discussing. According to general rules, winning the Champions League is the peak of a team. After reaching the peak, it will naturally go downhill.

Therefore, Dortmund will inevitably step down from the throne, and if nothing unexpected happens, Bayern Munich will replace it and complete the handover of an era.

But Klopp was unwilling to give up. He didn't want to accept his fate and act according to the general rules.

Who said I would go down the mountain if I climbed up the mountain? Can't I stay on the top of the mountain? The scenery on the top of the mountain is so short, can't I enjoy it for a while?

But now Klopp feels how ridiculous he was at the beginning.

The reason why natural laws are laws means that they cannot be stopped by one person.

There is some destiny here, but there are also reasons that can be understood.

Injury.

After the start of the new season, frequent injuries were something that Dortmund had never seen before when he won consecutive championships.

Is this some kind of foreshadowing?

Or from a certain perspective, does this mean that Dortmund's team is aging and something goes wrong?

The season is almost halfway through, and Dortmund's injury situation not only has not improved, but has been getting deeper and deeper in the quagmire of injuries... It will be difficult for any team to achieve such an injury wave.

Take this game for example. After Zhou Yi equalized the score, Dortmund's momentum was actually very good. But with Sven Bend's injury, the good momentum came to an abrupt end. At the end of the game, Dortmund regained his strength and made a comeback. At this critical moment, Shahin was injured again...

Is it a sign that the player was injured at a critical moment twice in a row, reminding Klopp that Dortmund is destined to not win this game?

Klopp didn't want to think so, but reality forced him to think so.

Now it seems that this game can maintain a draw at home, which is a good result for Dortmund...

"Oh, Shahin... Shahin... Shahin sprained his ankle, he definitely couldn't hold on. Dortmund's luck in this game is so bad!" The Korean commentator also sighed. His subtext was "This is simply God wants Leverkusen to win! Such a good opportunity, how can Leverkusen be satisfied with the draw? Of course, he has to take Dortmund's life while Dortmund is sick!"

In the TV screen, Shahin slowly walked off the court with the help of two Dortmund team doctors. He lowered his head and looked very depressed.

Klopp no ​​longer cares about swearing. He is warming up Piszczek and preparing to replace Shahin.

Why replace a defender instead of Mkhitaryan?

Because Klopp knew very well that when the game started again, Leverkusen would definitely launch a fierce attack on Dortmund, and of course they hoped to defeat Dortmund, which was unfavorable in the past year, on the road.

At this time, you need to stabilize the defense, so you can replace a defender and strengthen the defense to avoid the tragedy of losing the ball at the last moment.

Klopp already thinks that as long as he doesn't lose at home, it will be a good result.

This is helpless, but reality is better than people. In the face of a strong fate, you have to bow your head even if you don’t bow your head. It’s better to draw at home than to lose the game, and it’s better to be pulled further and further by Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Piszczek completed the warm-up as fast as possible and was replaced. On the court, Leverkusen was launching a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal. As Klopp expected, Leverkusen was unwilling to win a draw away. Now Dortmund is almost the weakest time. If Leverkusen still can't win, it would be a pity.

Dortmund's entire team contracted its defense and resisted Leverkusen's offensive in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

After seeing Dortmund's embarrassment, everyone thought it would be nice if Dortmund could win a draw in this game. After all, they were injured and substituted twice in the game. The game was no longer a test of the team's arrangement, nor was it a test of Klopp's on-site command... The "force majeure factor" made the above meaningless.

Zhou Yi was still waving his head around during the game and observing the situation.

But this time, he was not observing the space and running positions, he was observing the expressions of his teammates.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, some people have a painful expression, some have a hideous expression, and some have a little confused...

From their expressions, Zhou Yi could see what they were thinking in their hearts.

He turned his gaze to Yan Min. Yan Min, who had frequently threatened his opponents before, has now returned to the third zone of defense and participated in the defense, almost becoming a full-back.

Son Heung-min pulled to the side and planned to break through, but was destroyed by Yan Min's very, very fierce tackle.

Yan Min was very decisive and fierce when he stepped on the ground. He flew out with his feet, making people think that he was going to destroy Son Heung-min... Son Heung-min was also scared and jumped up quickly, so the ball under his feet was shoveled out of the sideline by Yan Min...

"What are you doing!" The Korean commentator exclaimed when he saw this scene and shouted at Yan Min. "This action is too dangerous! This is a totally bad foul! He should be sent off directly! Dortmund players have lost their normal emotions. Now they are like powder barrels, which may explode at any time. I hope the referee can strictly enforce the law..."

He was very worried that Son Heung-min would be injured. Seeing Yan Min's actions just now, he was so scared that he was so scared.

Yan Min's move was indeed very scary. Seeing this, the players around Leverkusen immediately surrounded him and stood up for his teammates.

Yan Min is deeply surrounded by Leverkusen players.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi hurriedly ran up, forced himself into the crowd, and protected Yan Min behind him: "What are you doing? Be calm and calm!"

Zhou Yi has been famous for a long time. Even if he is an opponent, he still has to give him some face. It is impossible to ask Zhou Yi for trouble.

Immediately afterwards, other Dortmund players also ran up, especially Groskreuz, who rushed up to protect his teammates, so the firepower of Leverkusen was attracted by him.

A huge boo sounded at the West* stadium, which were given to Leverkusen players by Dortmund fans. Originally at a disadvantage, it was enough to not win the ball at home to make Dortmund fans unhappy. Now Leverkusen players are actually going to make Dortmund players trouble under their noses. How can Dortmund fans endure it?

The players on both sides were entangled, and a conflict seemed inevitable under the huge boo.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle and rushed up, cooperating with the lineman to separate the players from both sides.

Then he turned around and gave Yan Min a yellow card!

This penalty naturally attracted booing in the stands. Other Dortmund players were also dissatisfied and protested around the referee. They believed that Yan Min had tackled the ball and did not meet Son Heung-min at all. Son Heung-min's jumping action was too exaggerated. Even if it was a foul, it would be enough to give a verbal warning. Give the yellow card too strict...

Yan Min did not go up to the referee to argue. Of course, this was not because he had a good mentality, but because he was pulled away by Zhou Yi.

"here you go."

Yan Min thought Zhou Yi was going to teach him a lesson. His actions just now were too rash and he wasted the game time. Unexpectedly, after Zhou Yi pulled him aside, he opened his mouth and praised him. He was stunned - what's the best job? What's the best job!

Zhou Yi continued to smile and said, "Look at them a little bit, don't let them think we just accept our fate... Have you accepted your fate? Do you think you can just get a draw in this situation?" he asked again.

"What a joke, this is our home court!" Yan Min said loudly, the implication was that in our home court, how could he be at ease to win a draw?

Hearing Yan Min's answer, Zhou Yi put his hand on his shoulder: "Yes, this is our home court. If you have the chance, you still have to move forward. You can't just be pushed by them in the half. Try to lead the football forward, I will follow you. If you feel that the resistance is too great, pass the football to me... Remember, after passing the ball, you should continue running forward. Don't consider how I handle the ball, anyway, you will run forward. You run forward, and it's mine if you don't receive the ball. But if you don't run forward, it's your responsibility."

Zhou Yi said, Yan Min nodded: "No problem!"

Although the game was less than ten minutes left and the situation was extremely unfavorable to Dortmund, the young man still did not lose his fighting spirit.
Chapter completed!
