Ball king grower

As of the eleventh round, Bayern Munich had only lost one game and reached 30 points.

Dortmund, on the other hand, was in a bad state for a period of time, resulting in two losses and two draws. As a result, it now only has 23 points. Half the season is not over yet, and there is already a 7-point gap with Bayern Munich.

Regarding this situation, Dortmund's senior management and even Klopp have discussed it. They feel that the focus of this year's competition can be entirely on the Champions League, and it is enough for the domestic league to maintain second place. After all, this year

Bayern's momentum is so strong that it is really difficult to catch up.

Although the whole team is very confident, they still have to recognize the reality.

Now that the focus is on the Champions League, the league can make appropriate adjustments. Therefore, in the twelfth round of the Bundesliga against the underdog Fürth, Lin Yu, Gotze, and Reus were all hidden. Even so

, Dortmund still won 3:1 at home.

However, to the surprise of many people, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich capsized in the gutter in this round and was tied 1:1 by Nuremberg in the away game.

As a result, Dortmund chased two more points, bringing the point difference between the two teams to 5 points.

The two teams have not yet played against each other this season. According to the previous match results, Dortmund still has an advantage, so the enthusiasm for winning the league that had been extinguished is now burning again.

But this does not affect the progress of the Champions League matches.

Five days after the twelfth round of the league, the Champions League group stage ushered in the fifth round of the showdown. This time Dortmund will go to the Netherlands to challenge Ajax away.

In order to ensure that he qualified first in the group, Klopp used all his main players and all four players in the frontcourt to start, in order to leave a hearty victory at Ajax's home court.

The result was as expected. Dortmund defeated Ajax 4:1 in an away game. In this game, Reus and Gotze each scored a goal, Lewandowski scored twice, and Lin Yu

Didn't score a goal.

But after the game, no reporter questioned Lin Yu's performance, because on the court, Lin Yu not only contained many Ajax defenders, but also contributed two assists, which is definitely considered for a midfielder.

It was a satisfactory answer. Not only could the media find no fault with it, but the club's top management was also very satisfied.

It's just that Lin Yu himself is not satisfied. He is eager to score goals, and only scoring goals can quench his thirst.

After this game, Dortmund has advanced ahead of schedule. Although Lin Yu also scored when Dortmund played Real Madrid away from home in the last round of the Champions League group stage, because it was only a draw, the media did not report much. Instead, the domestic league was

’s winning streak became key news.

So far, Lin Yu has scored 5 goals in the Champions League. This is probably a number that many forwards cannot reach in their lifetime. However, he has achieved it in only his first year participating in the Champions League, and most importantly,

Dortmund has advanced ahead of schedule and the road ahead continues.

As long as Dortmund is still advancing on the road to the Champions League, Lin Yu will have the opportunity to continue to refresh his scoring path.

After qualifying from the Champions League group stage, the team's attention has once again shifted to the domestic league. As for the last game of the Champions League group stage against Manchester City, of course they will not give up, but they are not as nervous as before.

At this stage of the competition, the positions of each team in the league have basically been determined. Bayern Munich ranks first, followed by Dortmund, and Leverkusen is also very tight.

In order to catch up with Bayern, Klopp has always brought the main players together to ensure that he can win the game.

In the thirteenth round of the match against Mainz, Lin Yu scored twice in an away game, helping the team win 2:1. At this time, it was actually possible to see that there was something wrong with the team's physical strength. Except for Lin Yu and Ji Ji

Except for a few players who can still maintain strong physical strength, most players are starting to feel a little unable to play.

It's just helpless that Dortmund's bench is really not thick enough. Even though he knows that there is a physical problem, Klopp doesn't have many cards to play.

With such reluctance, it reached the fourteenth round, when Dortmund faced the unknown Dusseldorf at home, and the result was a draw of 1:1 in 90 minutes.

It wasn't until the stoppage time that Lin Yu opened the door to Dusseldorf again with a super-long-distance heavy artillery shot and scored the winning goal, which also allowed Dortmund to barely keep up with Bayern and not be defeated.

The score difference widened again.

By the end of this round, Lin Yu had scored eight goals for Dortmund in the league, as well as several assists. Such results, for a player who has just embarked on his career path, are already more than just

It's so simple to pass, even if it's perfect, it's not an exaggeration.

What's even more gratifying is that most of Lin Yu's goals are precious goals that provide help in times of need. There are very few icing on the cake and insignificant goals. This shows that Lin Yu played a vital role in Dortmund's victory.

The senior management of the Dortmund club, who were originally worried about losing money on the contract, have now begun to secretly enjoy themselves. Such an efficient player with an annual salary of one million is hard to find even with a lantern job.

However, after the fourteenth round of the game, Dortmund's players were not happy at all. This game was very hard. Lin Yu's magical kick sealed the victory. Although it was worth being happy, it was also obviously exposed.

The problem with this team is that the thickness of the bench is too poor. When fighting on the third line, there is no way to compare with Bayern Munich.

There is a joke circulating in the market that even if Bayern Munich's bench players form a team, they can definitely achieve very good results in the league. Although this is a joke, it is actually very true. In fact, Bayern Munich has fallen behind this season.

The purpose of investing heavily in purchasing players is to be able to cope with third-line operations.

Dortmund cannot compare with Bayern. Dortmund's finances are a big problem first of all, so they can only rely on the perseverance and hard work of the players.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Klopp: "In the next round, Dortmund will challenge Bayern Munich away from home, who are in very good form this season. Are you confident in winning this game?"

Klopp answered very cautiously: "We have excellent players and excellent tactical ideas, but there are many unpredictable aspects in football matches. I can only say that we can try to win the game, but whether we can win or not depends on luck.

.”

In fact, Klopp has his own reasons for saying this. If he is given a strong Dortmund team, he will definitely claim that there is no problem in winning Bayern Munich. But now, he really doesn't have that much confidence.

The away challenge to Bayern will be a turning point in the Dortmund League this season. If we win, the several-point gap with Bayern will be narrowed to two points, and the two-point gap is really easy to catch up with.

The most important thing is that once this game is won, Dortmund's morale will be greatly improved, which is crucial for the team's future games.

Different from Klopp's caution, Lin Yu didn't like this pessimistic mood. When reporters interviewed him, he boldly declared, "We are not afraid of Bayern Munich. We just want to go to the Allianz Arena to win three games."

Share it!"

Regarding Lin Yu's words, Bayern coach Heynckes responded with a smile: "Young people are always a little arrogant, but we will teach him how to play football!"

Heynckes' words were quite gentle, but Bayern's boss Rummenigge was not so polite. He sneered and said: "I hope that kid won't be kicked to tears at the Allianz Arena!"
