After fifteen days of training in the warm southern Spain, Dortmund's team returned to Dortmund, which was still drifting with heavy snow.

It feels like coming to a completely different parallel world.

On the evening of January 19, Dortmund will challenge Werder Bremen away, which is a game in the 18th round of the league.

Now Dortmund and Bayern Munich are only two points apart, which is a very suspenseful point difference. Klopp has formulated a strategy for the team to try to catch up with Bayern Munich before the start of the Champions League knockout stage. It would be even better if he could overtake them in points.

Dortmund's first Champions League knockout match was on the night of February 13, less than a month away.

During this time, Dortmund had four league games to play.

They are the 18th round away challenge Werder Bremen, the 19th round home against Nuremberg, the 20th round away challenge Leverkusen, and the 11th round home against Hamburg.

These four games may be related to the situation of Dortmund's winning of the league this season. Because when the Champions League knockout starts, Dortmund will inevitably be distracted, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the final sprint stage of the league.

During the same period, Bayern Munich's opponents were Fert, Stuttgart, Mainz and Schalke 04. The home and away order are home, away, away and home.

It is hard to say whose opponent is harder to deal with, and it is hard to say whose schedule is more advantageous.

Instead of paying attention to your opponent, it is better to work hard to be yourself and play your own game.

Coincidentally, after the 18th round of the Bundesliga, the 21st round of the Ligue 1 league will start on the evening of January 20. This is likely to be He Ying's first game since joining Paris Saint-Germain.

It can even be said that He Ying's game is more concerned in the mainland than that in Dortmund. Because everyone knows that Zhou Yi cannot play as a substitute, but He Ying's fate has touched the hearts of many people. Everyone wants to see what kind of performance He Ying can perform after experiencing such an accident.

On the evening of January 19, Dortmund's away challenge to Werder Bremen began in the snow. Shahin, who was loaned, sat on the bench and did not enter the starting lineup. This arrangement shows that Klopp did not intend to let Shahin be the main player. His positioning of Shahin is a rotation player.

Shahin did not have any objection to this. He knew very well that after he had experienced so many things, it would be good if he could still play in the game when he returned to Dortmund. As for the main core, don’t even think about it, just be more at ease.

Both Real Madrid and Liverpool have encountered setbacks, making this former genius boy seem more low-key and pragmatic, and seems to have become indifferent to fame and fortune.

In this game, Klopp sent almost the strongest lineup at home. The attacking lineup composed of Lewandowski, Mark, Reus, Zhou Yi and Gotze all appeared.

The powerful offensive firepower made Dortmund turn the door as soon as it came out. In the ninth minute, Reus seized the opportunity to score the first record for Dortmund.

Ten minutes later, Gotze received a goal from Mark and scored a close shot. Dortmund led Werder Bremen 2:0.

"In less than 20 minutes of the game, Dortmund won the advantage of two goals! And it was on the away game, which fully demonstrates the strength of Dortmund in the Bundesliga. If nothing unexpected happens this season, the championship competition will continue between the two teams, Dortmund and Bayern Munich." Duan Xin commented.

"Thanks to the geothermal facilities, we can see the green grass, but unfortunately, this heat cannot seem to be transmitted to the Werder Bremen players. Their movements seem to be frozen on this cold winter night. On the other hand, Dortmund players are much more flexible than Werder Bremen. Perhaps because Dortmund players have been running all the time, they don't feel cold at all, nor are they affected by the weather..." Marcel Leif commented on the performance of the players of the two teams (complaints).

In this game, Werder Bremen's performance was indeed not very good. Their players seemed to have not recovered from the winter break, and the players seemed to be still celebrating Christmas.

The second half of the game was changed again. After just three minutes, Zhou Yi sent a curve ball with his right instep outside the penalty area. The football bypassed Werder Bremen's defender and landed accurately at Mark's feet. Facing the football sent by Zhou Yi, Mark did not stop the ball, but chose to push and shoot directly, with a very clever angle. The football brushed the far post and rolled into the goal.

"3:0! Mark Wagner! The suspense of this game has completely ended 1" Marcel Lef shouted. "Just the beginning of the second half, Dortmund scored again with a fast break. Werder Bremen was three goals behind his home court. It was difficult to score back!"

Of course, Werder Bremen was unwilling to admit defeat at his home court. Their head coach Schaff changed two people in one breath, replaced defender Pleder with young Turkey's midfielder Ozkan Ildelin, and replaced another striker Peterson with Nigerian striker Joseph Akpara.

Hopefully improve the offense.

However, Dortmund had already led by three goals, so there was no need for them to continue to take risks and let Werder Bremen make a sneak attack. So under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Dortmund began to control the ball and consciously slowed down the pace.

Under such circumstances, Klopp also made adjustments, replacing Reus with Kuba and Sahin with Gotze.

Shahin is back on the court and will take the lead in the midfield and help Zhou Yi control the rhythm together.

The game gradually went on in the 80th minute, and neither side scored a goal. Dortmund was not in a hurry. Anyway, they were leading three goals, while Werder Bremen seemed very impatient.

At this time, Zhou Yi realized that Dortmund would no longer have to slow down the pace. Because there were three minutes left in the game, it might be that Werder Bremen would have to equalize the score by three goals in these ten minutes, but the probability was really low. In this case, Dortmund did not need to continue to delay time, but instead tried to attack, and maybe there would be more gains?

The Bundesliga is different from the Champions League. When the two teams score at the same time, they do not compare the win-loss relationship between each other. The goal difference is first, so being able to get more goal difference in the game is also adding more winning weight to possible future situations.

So he found a chance to die, ran to Shahin, covered his mouth with his hands and told him his plan in Shahin's ear.

Shahin had no objection to this, and everything was done according to Zhou Yi's ideas, and he just helped.

When the game resumed, Zhou Yi quickly instigated a successful offensive, and finally, full-back Pisczek, who had assisted Lewandowski, scored, and Dortmund led Werder Bremen 4:0!

Lewandowski's goal completely killed the game's victory and loss suspense. Now Werder Bremen has only one choice, which is to score a goal that saves face. If someone is shaved at home, it would be too ugly...

So in the last ten minutes, Werder Bremen's offensive became even more crazy.

Of course, facing Werder Bremen's crazy counterattack, Zhou Yi was not weak either. In the 86th minute, he assisted Kuba to score the last goal of Dortmund in this game.

"5:0! Kuba!! Dortmund actually led Werder Bremen with such a big score away!" Marcel Leif was a little surprised, "Werder Bremen started the second half of the league in the league, and it seems that their relegation path this season is not easy!"

In the end, Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 5-0 away, achieving a good start in the second half of the league.

In the ending game between Bayern Munich and Firt at home, Bayern Munich beat Firt with a score of 2:0, and the two teams still have a two-point difference.

However, in the league, the outcome of a game is not that important. Compared with the Champions League, the league is a marathon, and inner and stability are the most important. As long as Dortmund keeps winning and be patient, you will always get opportunities.

After the Zhouyi game, the game that Chinese fans are paying the most is coming.

Not long after the Dortmund game ended, Paris Saint-Germain announced their next roster. Head coach Ancelotti put He Ying on the roster, which means he will have a chance to play.

This game is not only concerned by domestic fans, but also by Zhou Yi and others.

After returning to Dortmund from the away game, Zhou Yi got a day off. In the evening, he sat in front of the TV in the living room early, swiping his cell phone to wait for the game to begin.

Cortana passed behind him and found that he was watching the French League One. He was a little surprised: "You can watch the French game too?"

"I have my friends." Zhou Yi briefly introduced the situation.

"Oh, okay." Cortana nodded, walked into her room, and closed the door, not disturbing Zhou Yi's viewing.

In the starting list announced before the start of the game, He Ying did not appear, and he sat on the bench.

After the game started, although He Ying did not start, Zhou Yi was still watching the game very seriously because he wanted to help He Ying analyze the situation after the game and see how to play the game faster and play steadily.

This game is Paris Saint-Germain's away challenge to Bordeaux.

Zhou Yi also specifically learned about the previous situation of the two teams. As of the 20th round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain won 11 wins, 6 draws and three losses, accumulated 39, ranking second with a two-point advantage.

Bordeaux ranked fourth with seven wins, eleven draws and two losses.

In their home court, Bordeaux did not perform well. They only won three games in nine home games and drew six games. Although they were the only team among all Ligue 1 teams that remained unbeaten at home, it was meaningless to have so many draws at home. In these nine home games, they only scored nine goals, conceded six goals, and averaged only one goal per game, which fully demonstrated their weak offensive firepower at home. Bordeaux ranked 14th among the twenty Ligue 1 teams at home and sixth last.

So home court may not be Bordeaux's advantage.

If He Ying has the chance to play, he can actually take advantage of this to impact Bordeaux's defense line.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi actually communicated directly with He Ying over the phone before the game.

Most of the first half, both sides played calmly, and neither side shot a lot, Bordeaux was slightly higher than Paris Saint-Germain - after all, this is their home court.

However, although the number of shots in Bordeaux is higher than that of Paris Saint-Germain, their shooting quality is not high, with only one shot hitting the goal frame.

The forward is powerless... Zhou Yi saw this and felt that He Ying should actually go to Bordeaux. Maybe he doesn't have to sit on the bench in this game and can start directly.

On Paris Saint-Germain, He Ying's competitive pressure on the front line is still greater than in Bordeaux. The two starting strikers are famous, Ibrahimovic and Ravic.

In the 43rd minute, the first half was about to end. The famous Ibrahimovic seized the opportunity and scored, opening the first record for Paris Saint-Germain and also broke the deadlock.
