With the injury wave coming, Dortmund welcomed their second game in the Champions League group stage, facing Galatasaray at home.

Galatasaray lost 1:2 to Arsenal in the first round of the group stage.

This is a battle between two teams that lost the ball.

Therefore, neither team can lose.

Whoever loses, his prospects for qualifying will become much dimmer.

In this game, Dortmund also suffered from injuries and was unable to send out the strongest lineup.

Before the game, Mark was interviewed by a reporter. He talked about the team's current difficulties, but also showed confidence and fighting spirit.

"We all know that the team has not had a good life recently, but the more we do this, the more we need to unite. Only in this way can our fighting spirit be reflected. I am ready to contribute everything to the team's victory."

While his teammates were missing the game due to injuries, Mark missed most of the players last season due to injuries, but was lucky to be uninjured this season.

His recent condition is indeed good, making people temporarily forget Lewandowski who left.

When the team is in trouble, fans also hope that players like Mark can stand up bravely and take responsibility.

At home, Dortmund is facing a strong opponent Galatasaray.

In this game, Zhou Yi took his parents to West** Stadium to watch the game in the private room and cheer for his teammates.

In this game, the atmosphere on the court was also very lively and hot, and Dortmund fans showed their support for the team during this difficult time.

In the 19th minute of the game, Mark, who made a positive statement before the game, did what he said and set the first record for the team!

After Mark scored, the entire West** Stadium was like an earthquake.

The assist for Mark was the defender Dum who replaced the injured Schmelzer starting, and his performance was also very good.

In the 52nd minute, Reus expanded his lead for Dortmund.

In the 80th minute, Dortmund won a penalty. Mark, who had already scored a goal in this game, took the penalty and calmly shot the ball into the goal.

3:0!

Dortmund finally defeated his opponent at home and won this game that must be won.

Since Zhou Yi was injured, Dortmund fans have not seemed to have been so happy. Even the game against Freiburg 5-0 did not make them feel relaxed.

After the game, Mark, who scored twice, was interviewed, and he repeated that the team must overcome difficulties together.

"...We were able to win the league championship and the Champions League because we were a team and a whole!"

After the game, everyone was talking enthusiastically about Dortmund's complete victory at home.

Many people even think that this game may be a turning point, which means that the recent bad luck has ended.

But people who think so are obviously too naive.

In the next eighth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Borussia Mönchengladbach away.

In this game, Dortmund encountered a tenacious obstacle from his opponent.

And bad luck hit again.

In the 39th minute, when the main goalkeeper Weidenfeller took a high ball in the game, he sprained his ankle and was unable to hold on to the game and was replaced by Langrak.

Next, in the 80th minute, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the main central defender Hummels deliberately handed the ball in the penalty area. Not only was he sent off with a red card, but he also gave Borussia Mönchengladbach a penalty.

Borussia Mönchengladbach used this penalty to break the deadlock.

Dortmund, one goal behind, could only bombard the goal of Borussia Mönchengladbach in the last ten minutes, hoping to equalize the score.

As a result, Borussia Mönchengladbach seized the opportunity to fight back. He conceded another goal in the 86th minute, and the defeat was decided...

In the end, Dortmund lost 0:2 to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

This is not only their first league defeat in the new season, but also the end of their thirty-seven-round unbeaten record...

Since Dortmund lost to Hamburg 2:3 in the fourth round of the league last season, they have never lost in the next thirty-seven rounds of the league.

Although the unbeaten record was ended by Borussia Mönchengladbach, Klopp's Dortmund still set an unbeaten record in the Bundesliga.

The previous record of unbeaten belongs to Hamburg in the 1981-1982 season, when the Hamburg team set a 36 consecutive league unbeaten games.

Dortmund set a new record by defeating Freiburg 5-0 in the last game.

Unfortunately, everyone thinks that if Zhou Yi is here, Dortmund's unbeaten record can continue.

Klopp himself doesn't care about the record, or compared with the current injury problems, the undefeated record is nothing.

Weidenfeller was injured in the game and would definitely miss the next round of the game. Hummels was also suspended for receiving a red card.

Dortmund's already nervous first-team lineup is even more stretched.

※※※

Of course, this period is not the only bad news.

After losing to Mönchengladbach, the biggest good news came - Zhou Yi can finally start training with the ball.

Although there is still some way to go before the game is played, this is always good news, which means that Zhou Yi's injury is developing in a positive direction.

Zhou Yi is now the stabilizer that Dortmund needs most. Without his Dortmund, his performance is good and bad. He can beat Galatasaray 3:0 at home at the best, and when he is bad, he can be beaten by Borussia Mönchengladbach 0:2 away without any power to fight back.

Zhou Yi began to conduct ball training, which was the focus of Dortmund and Chinese media reporting in the past two days.

It even diluted the depression and sadness that Dortmund lost the game, ending the unbeaten record.

On Dortmund's official Twitter account, a short video of Zhou Yi doing ball training was posted. In the video, Zhou Yi was wearing a training vest and was dribbling the ball around the pile. The video was too short, only five seconds. But from these few seconds, everyone still saw some exciting things.

That is, Zhou Yi's movements were not stiff, and it was very natural. At least this shows that the impact of his cervical spine injury was not great.

Now just wait for him to find his feelings in the ball training, and it is not far from returning to the arena.

If Zhou Yi’s comeback is good news, then there are endless bad news around Gundo’an.

Just after Dortmund lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Spanish media "Punishment Point" exclusively revealed that Real Madrid has reached a preliminary agreement with Dortmund and will introduce Gundogan for a price of 2,000 to 30 million euros.

However, the Dortmund Club later denied the rumors, saying that the two sides had not reached any agreement.

But this rumor is not accepted, because Dortmund and Gundogan have not reached an agreement on renewal until now. As long as the two sides do not successfully renew the contract for one day, rumors about Gundogan's stay or stay will probably not disappear for a day.

From this point of view, it is correct to finalize the contract renewal with Zhou Yi in summer, otherwise they will still face the problem of Zhou Yi's stay or leave, and the senior executives may all be in a state of anxiety.

The future of Gundogan is uncertain, and it is uncertain when Gundogan will recover from injury.

Originally, he could make a comeback in mid-October, but the team doctor Dr. Braun conducted the latest inspection on him and found that the situation was still not optimistic. He still didn't know when he would make a comeback. Anyway, it would be impossible to return to the court in October.

No one expected that the injury that was not very serious would be delayed longer and worse. Now some people think that if Gundogan could come back after the winter break, it would be a good result...

※※※

The Dortmund's first-team is of course a bad thing for the team, but for the players themselves, it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

For example, Shahin, if it weren't for Gundogan's injury, it would have been difficult for him to get so many stable appearances this season. He himself performed well, partnering with Sven Bend in the midfielder position.

Another example is Yan Min.

In the ninth round of the league, Dortmund played against Hannover 96 at home. Because there were too few people in the midfield, Yan Min was selected for the team's roster.

This is his second appearance in the Dortmund League squad this season.

If the player hadn't been injured one after another, Yan Min might not have appeared on the roster.

The current wave of injuries also makes everyone look forward to Yan Min's appearance in the game. Since there is not enough staff, we must give others a chance, right?

But it didn't. Yan Min sat on the bench for 90 minutes, but still didn't get a chance to play.

In the fourth minute, Reus scored a penalty for Dortmund, helping Dortmund take the lead.

But in the next eighty-six minutes, Dortmund was unable to score again. Although he won as many as ten corner kicks in this game, none of them converted into goals.

In the 66th minute, Kuba was replaced by the goal-scoring hero Reus.

In the 80th minute, young player Jonas Hoffman came on as a substitute and replaced Mkhitaryan.

In the 90th minute, forward Siberia appeared and replaced Aubameyang.

In the 94th minute, goalkeeper Langerak mischievously delayed the time at the last moment of the game and was presented with a yellow card by the referee.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Dortmund still won the game.
Chapter completed!
