Chapter 35 Accident

In the end, the German national team drew 3:3 with Uruguay in Leverkusen. After the game, the German national team was violently bombarded by Dortmund media.

"...I don't understand what the meaning of Lou's insistence on letting Gundogan play? Now, after only twenty-seven minutes, Gundogan was replaced because of his old injury relapse! It's simply unreasonable! Bayern Munich players can not participate in the national team's game because of having children, while Dortmund players, even if they are injured, must start and insist on playing an irrelevant friendly match!"

"We always say that the national team should protect the players of the club because they are the common property of both sides, but I only see the national team overuse of the club players, and if there are players who are injured in club games, the club often suffers criticism... Everything that happened in Leverkusen yesterday was really ugly!"

"I now understand what happened before the season, some media thought that Dortmund would not be able to win the championship this season..."

Gundogan's injury made Dortmund's media particularly angry and even proposed conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories are certainly nonsense, but this also shows how angry the Dortmund are now.

If this important World Cup qualifier will be injured for Gundogan to play for the country, they may have accepted it.

But now it is just an ordinary warm-up match with Paraguay, not a formal match. Gundogan was injured because of this, so it is inevitable that it will make people feel that it is unworthy.

Moreover, this happened when Dortmund media repeatedly advised the national team, which made Dortmund people feel that they could not be forgiven easily.

After the game, as the head coach of the national team, Löw was asked by an angry Dortmund reporter from Gundogan: "What made you insist on sending Gundogan who is already sad? Don't you know that he was injured in the game against Augsburg?"

Lough can only say: "We evaluated his physical condition, we think he can play games, and it is really unfortunate to be injured, but it does not mean that we intend to get the player injured, and no one wants to see this..."

Of course, Löw's answer cannot satisfy Dortmund.

This time, Gundogan's injury reminds him of the serious injury of Mark Wagner before. A thriving superstar suffered the worst injury of his career after participating in a national team game. That injury also brought a turning point to Mark's career. Since then, he has never returned to his previous state.

For a national team game, Dortmund lost a star of hope.

Now for the national team game, Dortmund has lost another midfielder.

How could the Dortmund people feel good?

After Gotze and Lewandowski left, Gundogan performed well in the new season, which can somewhat comfort Dortmund fans.

Unexpectedly, Gundoan, who was in excellent form just now, was injured in the national team game. I don’t know how long it will take to be absent. What if the injury is serious?

It was clearly a national team game, why did the club pay in the end?

Many Dortmund fans are unhappy.

One day later, the Dortmund Club officially issued an announcement, which stated that the team doctor leader Dr. Braun, after examining Gundogan's injury, believed that he might have to take two weeks off.

After the announcement came out, many Dortmund supporters breathed a sigh of relief. After two weeks, it was a good thing.

Because when he was against the newly promoted Brunswick this weekend, Klopp originally planned to arrange for Gundoan to take a turnover. After all, he was injured in the first round, so it was normal to take a turnover. Unfortunately, the club arranged a turnover, but the national team did not allow him to take a turnover, so the injury worsened in the national team game...

After Gundogan was injured, he should have been composed of Shahin and Sven Bend in the midfield. The new player Mkhitaryan, who was resting for a week due to an ankle injury, was able to make his debut in Saturday's game, and it has not yet been confirmed.

As the season just started, some people have been on the injury list one after another, which is not a good sign.

Everyone knows that injuries are the enemy who is most likely to defeat Dortmund.

When Bayern Munich has no choice but to do with Dortmund, only injuries can stop them...

Two days after the national team competition, the second round of the league began.

So how could the Dortmund media not complain about the national team? Such intensive event arrangements have not allowed Gundogan to rest. Everyone can't think of any other answers besides conspiracy theories.

German media are very concerned about Gundogan's injury, but Chinese media are not so concerned. They just care about it for a while, and they still care more about their players.

In the second round of the league, Guardiola's Bayern Munich narrowly defeated Frankfurt 1-0 away, while Hertha Berlin was tied 2-2 away by Nuremberg.

As long as Dortmund can win, they can become the league's number one.

On the afternoon of August 18, Dortmund welcomed the newly promoted Brunswick at home.

Logically speaking, this is not a very powerful opponent, and Dortmund, who is fighting at home, should easily defeat the opponent.

But the fact is that long after the game began, Dortmund couldn't score.

Brunswick is very tenacious, and their tactics are very good at choosing away games. They shrink all the way to defend, so that Dortmund won't get too much space and time in the 30-meter area. In addition, their desperate style makes it difficult for Dortmund players to control the ball well, and naturally it is difficult to organize effective offenses.

After the first half, Dortmund scored eleven shots but no goals were scored.

Brunswick defended with all his strength, so they naturally had no way to attack, so they didn't score either.

0:0.

"...This score is really surprising. Before the game, many people would never have thought that forty-five minutes passed, and Dortmund did not break through the goal of the newly promoted Brunswick team..."

In the Super Cup, he defeated Bayern Munich 4:2 and defeated Augsburg 4:0 in the first round of the league. Dortmund seemed to prove how fierce their attack firepower was with practical actions.

However, facing Brunswick, Dortmund's attackers collectively became silent.

During the break, Klopp criticized the players' performance. In his opinion, it was not a tactical problem to face Brunswick's intensive defense, but a problem with the players' ideological attitude.

To put it bluntly, it just doesn’t pay enough attention to the opponent and is a little proud and underestimated.
