Although he defeated St. Petersburg Zenit 4:2 away, after returning to Germany, the Dortmund players still heard some criticism, and the criticism was mainly focused on defense.

After all, facing the weak St. Petersburg Zenit, Dortmund lost two goals and could not score a clean sheet.

This does show that there are big problems with their defense line.

Hummels and Subotic's absence has a great impact on the team's defense.

Even if Dortmund passes the level of Zenit in St. Petersburg, with the deepening of the Champions League schedule, it is probably difficult for them to go further. What if they encounter a more powerful team that cannot solve the problem by offense and cannot defend the defense, what should they do then?

However, it seems that Dortmund's focus should be in the league, and the Champions League is behind the league.

Just when Dortmund returned to Germany, the next day's Champions League match was also scheduled. Two other Chinese players made their debut in the Champions League.

The results are different.

Sun Pan played for Chelsea and challenged Juventus away. In the end, the two teams tied 1:1.

As a away game, this result is pretty good. I got a away goal and remained unbeaten. Chelsea, who returned to home, hoped to advance was greater than Juventus.

Schalke 04, where Yang Muge is located, faces the powerful Real Madrid.

The strength gap between the two teams is indeed very big. Although Yang Muge tried his best in the game, he failed to stop the team from losing at home.

Schalke lost 1:6 to Real Madrid at home. He has basically bid farewell to this season's Champions League in advance.

Schalke 04 didn't score a goal until the 90th minute, and finally he was not shaved by the opponent at home.

After this game, many domestic fans felt that Yang Muge should seek a transfer and leave Schalke 04. He has proved his ability in Schalke 04, and other teams in the European transfer market are also interested in him.

Staying at Schalke 04 has not helped his career. Everyone hopes that Yang Muge can go to a better team and improve himself.

Yang Muge did not respond to the expectations of domestic fans.

He is as low-key as ever, uses less social networks and appears in the media very rarely.

After the game in Zenit in St. Petersburg, Dortmund will usher in the 23rd round of the league - Nuremberg.

Before this game, there was good news and bad news.

The good news is that Hummels, who was injured before, can finally return to the lineup, and he will be on the game in this game.

The bad news is that Reus will be automatically suspended for one game in this game because of accumulating five yellow cards.

Nuremberg has performed very well recently. In the last five rounds of the league, he has escaped from the relegation zone with four wins and one loss, and has only lost to Bayern Munich, who is in good shape.

But Dortmund is in good shape recently...

Just five minutes into the opening game, Schmelzer made a cross from the bottom of the bottom from the left, Groskreuz's front shot missed, Piszczek followed up and pushed the ball, and the football missed the goal.

Although the ball was not scored, it set the tone for this game. Basically, Dortmund played against Nuremberg.

In the 16th minute, Nuremberg goalkeeper Schefel used his hand to catch the defender's return pass and made a foul, and Dortmund won an indirect free kick on the small penalty area line.

Mark used his heel to knock the football to Zhou Yi behind him. Zhou Yi shot with a shot, but the football was blocked by a wall.

Six minutes later, Schmelzer shot a long shot from twenty meters away from the goal, but was saved by Schefel.

In the 25th minute, Yan Min broke through from the left side of the penalty area. After entering the penalty area, he chose to shoot at a small angle, and the football missed the post and went out.

Dortmund's offensive was thrilling, and Nuremberg didn't get a chance until the 30th minute. Papastasopoulos made a mistake when passing the ball to Hummels in the backcourt. Delmic intercepted the ball and passed it across to Peckhart to form a single shot, who pushed the ball against Weidenfeller!

As a result, the football hit the right post and popped up!

"Ahhhhh! It's so dangerous! Nuremberg almost scored! Dortmund's defense line made a serious mistake!" Marcel Leif exclaimed. "This is what everyone has always been worried about - Dortmund's offense is not said. This can be seen from their performance in the first thirty minutes of this game that the impact of the injury wave on their offense is the lowest. But Dortmund's defense line...it is really not reassuring now..."

Not long after this mistake, Klopp made a substitution adjustment, and he replaced Papastasopoulos with Friedrich.

Of course, this is not because of Papastasopoulos' pass mistake, but because in fact, after the game against St. Petersburg Zenit, Papastasopoulos was a little injured, and he was on the court with an injury.

It can also be seen from this mistake that the injury has had an impact on him.

"...Papastsopoulos was returned early because his injury has not healed... For Dortmund fans, I'm afraid they'll get used to seeing his players being replaced due to injuries? It's really weird to say that Dortmund is basically defensive players this season, and offensive players are quite safe..." Duan Xin felt it was incredible when she said that.

After Papastasopoulos was substituted, Dortmund's offensive was not as fierce as before. Perhaps it was because Papastasopoulos' mistake that made Dortmund's players feel some concerns.

It was not until the 45th minute that Aubameyang received a pass from Mark in the penalty area and shot hard, but the football was blocked by the defender and went out of the baseline.

This is the last shot of both sides in the first half.

The next half ended, and the score was 0:0.

"The momentum of Dortmund's game was very good at the beginning, but unfortunately he was unable to score. The attack was thunder and rainy. After Papastasopoulos was substituted, they slowed down the offense. Of course, there were more threatening attacks than before... But in general, Dortmund had an absolute advantage in the first half. It depends on how both sides adjusted during the break..."

As a result, there were no substitutions on either side during the intermission.

After the start of the second half, Dortmund continued to attack Nuremberg, just like at the beginning of the first half.
Chapter completed!
