In the 64th minute, we took a two-goal lead. Looking at the game, everyone thought that the outcome of this game was no longer suspense. Dortmund will win the game at home, and they will continue to chase Bayern Munich by four points.

But Nuremberg certainly didn't think so.

After the game started again, they were more proactive in seeking opportunities to score goals.

It seemed as if I was awakened by Dortmund's second goal.

They created a murderous intent after the fourth minute of conceding the ball. In the 68th minute, Nuremberg won a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, Franz headed the ball six meters in front of the goal, but the top was off. This was the closest attack to the goal in the second half of Nuremberg...

However, Nuremberg's counterattack attempt was soon suppressed by Dortmund's even more fierce offensive.

In the 73rd minute, Zhou Yi gave the football to Mark who was on the left side of the penalty area, and then he quickly inserted into the penalty area. After he just followed in, Mark passed the football to him and shot before the Nuremberg defender!

"Zhou Yi!!"

As a result, the football was swept out by Schefel!

"Ah! What a pity! Zhou Yi almost scored a goal!" Duan Xin shouted regretfully, as if he was more regretful than Zhou Yi who had not scored...

Zhou Yi did not regret him for too long, nor did he disappoint his supporters in front of the TV for too long.

In the 80th minute, Yan Min received a long pass from Sven Bend on the left side of the penalty area. When he stopped the ball, he completed a turn, shook the defensive player beautifully, and then made a cross.

Both Mark and Aubameyang attracted Nuremberg's defensive attention in the penalty area. In this case, Zhou Yi decisively stepped forward again and then fell to the ground to shoot!

The football flew into the lower left corner of the goal!

"Zhou Yi!! Good! Good!" Duan Xin cheered happily. "3:0! He locked the victory for Dortmund!!"

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi did not celebrate the goal excitedly, but just a simple hug with his teammates.

The Dortmund fans in the stands were more excited than the Dortmund players, and the joy was thunderous.

Marcel Leif said in cheers: "Dortmond won this game, probably not a problem... It's really interesting. Dortmund's defense line is facing a huge crisis this season, and the number of goals conceded in the league is also more than in the same period in previous seasons... But in sharp contrast, Dortmund's offense has set off a frenzy this season. The strong attack firepower is the main reason why Dortmund can still rank second this season... I just don't know how long can Dortmund last in such an excellent offense? It can be said that now they rely on attack. If their offense can't be played, Dortmund will be really dangerous..."

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi was quickly replaced by Klopp with Mkhitaryan.

This is a fixed routine. Everyone knows that as long as Dortmund can ensure victory, Zhou Yi will be replaced in advance.

Klopp's protection for Zhou Yi is almost the same as that of a giant panda - it's not bad, both come from China.

After Zhou Yi left the court, both sides never scored another goal.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Nuremberg 3-0 at home and continued to catch up with Bayern Munich.

After the game, Zhou Yi released a photo of the team celebrating victory in the locker room on social networks, and the picture was also included: "Full firepower, win the championship with offense!"

Dortmund players already know why Zhou Yi did this, but people outside still don’t understand. There are even rumors on the Internet that Zhou Yi’s social network account has been entrusted to a special public relations company to operate. Otherwise, how can such a big style change be explained?

Not long after the match between Dortmund and Nuremberg, Bayern Munich's home match against Schalke 04 also began.

In this game, Schalke 04, Yang Muge was naturally the first.

Many Dortmund fans and Zhou Yi supporters in China hope that Schalke 04 can be more powerful and compete for a little bit. Not to mention defeating Bayern Munich away, if they can tie Bayern Munich, it will be considered a chance for Dortmund.

But to be honest, this requirement has been raised for Schalke 04.

The gap in strength between the two sides is very obvious.

Schalke, who just lost 1:6 at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League, lost 1:5 to Bayern Munich away.

He suffered two crushing defeats within three days.

After the game, the TV broadcast gave Yang Muge a close-up shot, and he was shaking his head gently in the camera.

He was the best player in Schalke 04 in this game, but his other teammates were not good enough. Even if he worked hard, he would not be able to change the situation.

During the game, Marcel Leif also said that if Yang Muge had not been hard-working in the midfield, Schalke 04 would have lost even worse.

After this game, a new round of discussions on China's Internet that Yang Muge should leave Schalke 04.

Many Chinese fans felt heartbroken by Yang Muge, believing that Schalke's performance 04 is not worthy of Yang Muge's efforts.

After the game, a Chinese reporter also asked Yang Muge whether he was considering leaving Schalke 04.

Yang Muge denied this: "No, I don't think about this issue now. I just want to play the next game."

After this round of the game, although Schalke lost to Bayern Munich in 04, he still ranks fourth in the Bundesliga and is in the Champions League.

For Schalke 04, it is absolutely impossible to let them compete for the league championship. Facing Real Madrid in the Champions League basically means being eliminated early. Then the most important task this season is naturally to get the top four in the league and strive to qualify for the Champions League next season, which is more important than anything else.

Yang Muge has a very clear understanding of himself and the team's strength.

After Dortmund defeated Nuremberg 3:0, Bayern Munich defeated Schalke 04 5:1, which seems to be a response to Dortmund's victory - no matter how you win, we are all four points ahead of you anyway. As long as you continue to win like this, you will have no chance!

Today, Bayern Munich does have the confidence to "mainly me".

In the 24th round of the league a week later, Bayern Munich swept Wolfsburg 6-1 away, showing its terrifying strength again. It caused German media to exclaim that the league championship competition has lost its suspense. No matter how hard Dortmund works, they cannot defeat the powerful "cosmic team".

Some media even said that Guardiola should transfer the team's main energy from the league to the Champions League and lead Bayern Munich to the Champions League. In addition, in the German Cup, Bayern Munich also has the hope of winning the championship, so that Bayern led by Guardiola will have the possibility of winning the triple crown and completing Heinx's unfinished career last season.

As their competitor, Dortmund also won in the 24th round, but it was difficult to win.

They only scored one goal against Freiburg away, and they did not have the advantage in the field, with only 42% possession rate.

The previous offensive frenzy that had been continuously in succession stopped in this game.

This made many people feel that it was a signal, which meant that Dortmund's firepower was over.

Everyone originally thought that with Dortmund's current situation, their "explosive" offensive performance could not be continued at all, and they always have to have a head. Therefore, it is a fantasy to win the championship by attacking and it is impossible to achieve.

Now this game seems to prove their point.

Why do people say "offense wins the audience, defense wins the championship"? Because the process of competing for the championship is very long, and various accidents are easily encountered in the game. At this time, only a stable defense can resist those accidents. Whether a team's defense is good or not is directly related to whether their performance is stable. Only a team with stable performance can have a good defense in the long season. There is too much uncertainty in offense. There is one sentence that can briefly summarize the difference between defense and offense: offense depends on inspiration, and defense depends on discipline.

Defense can be controlled, while offense is difficult to control.

You can use strict tactical discipline to increase defense stability and achieve good results.

But it is difficult for you to strictly require the offense to follow the pre-match training routine in the game, because there are too many uncertainties.

Therefore, offense represents passion, and it also represents instability...

In the eyes of those who understand football, Zhou Yi’s so-called “winning the championship with offense” is a ridiculous saying.

If it is a cup game, offense may still win the championship, but in the long league, it is not that easy to rely on offense.

One recent example is Bayern Munich.

Although Bayern Munich has many big wins this season, their best performance is defense - so far, they have only conceded ten goals in the 24-round league games.

This number of goals conceded is not only the least in the Bundesliga, but also among the other four major leagues: Atletico Madrid also conceded the least in the twenty-four rounds of the league, and they also conceded sixteen goals.

Roma conceded the least goals after the 24th round of the Serie A league. They conceded thirteen goals - although they performed well, they still had three more goals than Bayern Munich.

Chelsea conceded the least goals in the 24th round of the Premier League. With Sun Pan guarding the goal, they conceded twenty goals.

Therefore, the reason why Bayern Munich is able to stand out in the Bundesliga this season has a lot to do with their excellent defense.

With such a stable defensive performance, how can Dortmund compete with them for the championship?
