Dortmund challenged Stuttgart away, and the match against Bayern Munich to Hoffenheim at home was very coincidental, and it was scheduled to be held at the same time.

For those who care about the league championship situation, they have to hold the remote control in their hands and switch back and forth between the two channels.

And those fans of the two teams who watched the game on the spot had to prepare the radio and use it with all their hearts at any time.

Speaking of which, Dortmund is more difficult to play in the game. Although their opponent Stuttgart ranks lower than Bayern Munich's opponent Hoffenheim, it is precisely because of the low ranking that it is difficult to play.

As a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart performed poorly this season and was deeply trapped in the quagmire of relegation. You should know that just two seasons ago, Stuttgart ranked sixth in the Bundesliga and qualified for the UEFA Cup. Now he is about to fall to the second division, which is really sad.

Stuttgart has only won one game in the last ten games, only five points, ranking second to last, leading only three points to Brunswick, the last deputy squad leader.

At the beginning of the season, Stuttgart coach Labadia was dismissed due to three consecutive losses, and youth team head coach Schneider took over. Later, Schneider suffered an eight-game losing streak in the league. He was dismissed in the 24th round of the league, and Dutch coach Stevens then took over. Under Stevens' leadership, Stuttgart won one win, draw and one loss. At present, it is still very difficult for Stuttgart to succeed in relegation under Stevens.

When both sides accepted the first leg of the season, Dortmund beat the other 6:1 at home. Time flies, and the situation between the two sides was different when they were in the fight. Stuttgart, who was deeply trapped in the quagmire of relegation, would not easily let Dortmund go at his home court.

In addition, Dortmund himself also had some problems. After a period of calm, the team suffered another injury. Piszczek had muscle problems during training, and it was very likely that he would not be able to catch up with the weekend game. In addition, Aubameyang and Weidenfeller also missed the team's training due to a cold. It is questionable whether they can still play in the weekend game.

In addition, since there will be a Champions League match in the middle of next week, Dortmund will definitely be affected and distracted. Even if Klopp does not do this in his tactical arrangement, it is difficult to ensure that the players will not think too much about it.

Unlike Dortmund who wants to passively adjust the lineup, Bayern Munich will be much more calm. Because in the Champions League next week, they will also make some personnel adjustments to the weekend league, but this is all proactive. Moreover, with the thickness of Bayern Munich's bench, even if it is rotated, it will not affect the team's strength. It should be no problem to win a team like Hoffenheim at home.

Before going away, Dortmund announced the big roster for this game. Piszczek, who had muscle problems before, appeared on the big roster. In addition to him, Aubameyang and Weidenfeller were also on the big roster. But it is hard to say whether they can start.

The injuries are still the old faces, Subotic, Gundogan and Kuba, and a Schmelzer who was just injured.

This is the time when Dortmund has fewer casualties this season.

When the starting roster was announced two hours before the game started, it was discovered that neither Piszczek nor Aubameyang were in the starting lineup.

Weidenfeller seemed to have escaped the impact of injury and started.

At the beginning of the game, Stuttgart used active frontcourt pressing and long rushing to curb Dortmund, while also creating opportunities for themselves to score goals.

Under their fierce pressing, Dortmund's defense seemed a little embarrassed.

With no teammate in the frontcourt, Hummels took the ball and drove forward with a big foot. Naturally, no one could catch the ball, and the football flew straight out of Stuttgart's bottom line.

"What did Hummels think? There was no one in front of Dortmund, so why did you kick forward?" Marcel Leif didn't understand.

"Stuttgart's pressing made Hummels a little panicked. This ball was not a long pass to launch an attack, but a clearance, right?" Duan Xinze said.

This is Stevens' tactics specifically targeting Dortmund. Stevens coached twice at Schalke 04. In 1997, he led Schalke 04 to win the UEFA Cup championship, which is considered to be Schalke 04's meritorious coach.

The last time he taught Schalke 04 was from 2011 to 2012, and he happened to have a competition with Dortmund today, so he is not unfamiliar with this Dortmund, so he can naturally design targeted tactics.

In response to the problem of Dortmund's current uneven lineup of the defense, he asked Stuttgart players to keep pressing them in the frontcourt, forcing them to make any mistakes. On the one hand, it was to curb Dortmund's offense - the defense was unstable. Dortmund naturally could not do his best when attacking, and always had to look forward to it; on the other hand, it was to create opportunities for Stuttgart to counterattack on the spot.

I have to say that Stevens is indeed a head coach who knows Dortmund very well. His tactics are very effective for Dortmund today...

Continuous frontcourt pressing put a lot of pressure on Dortmund's defense.

Finally in the ninth minute, Stuttgart forced Dortmund players to pass back through a series of pressings in the frontcourt, but at the same time, the distance between people was compressed to the extreme. On the short distance, passing the ball became very difficult.

So when Sven Bend got the ball in the backcourt and faced the Stuttgart player pressing, there were Hummels and Papastasopoulos next to him, but these two people may be two or three meters away from him.

Sven Bend wanted to pass the football back to Hummels, but because the distance was too close, he didn't dare to use any force.

Under the interference of Stuttgart midfielder Gentner, his return pass was too small and he was cut off by Gentner before he could reach Hummels' feet!

“Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!”

Stuttgart's home court, Mercedes-Benz Arena, gave a huge cheer at the moment when Gentner intercepted the ball successfully.

Gentner's interception also caught Hummels off guard. Gentner only used a simple Xu Huang to change direction and threw Hummels aside.

Gentner, who had passed Hummels, broke into the penalty area and shot with a kick before the penalty spot.

The football passed the attacking goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and flew into the goal against the inside of the right post!

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Damn!" After seeing the goal lost, Klopp angrily punched the roof of the coach's seat.

He knew that the relegation team was difficult to play, but he didn't expect that he would concede the ball in less than ten minutes of the game.

I have to say that Stevens' tactical arrangement was indeed beyond his expectations. He did not expect Stuttgart to use this method to use crazy pressing in the frontcourt to deal with Dortmund, and it was quite useful...

Faced with such pressing, to be honest, he couldn't come up with any good solutions for the time being.

This made him even more angry.

Stevens was like a snake hitting him seven inches.

Klopp turned his head and looked at Stevens standing in front of Stuttgart coach's seat. They were old opponents and had fought in the Ruld Derby before.

At that time, in the Roul derby, Klopp had the last laugh every time. Stevens was also dismissed because of his poor grades in coach Schalke 04. It seems that although he left Schalke 04's coaching position, he did not give up on continuing to study Dortmund...

"Bortmond concedes the ball..." The news spread quickly in Bayern Munich's coaching bench.

Guardiola also heard from the whispers of her colleagues.

He didn't react at all. However, the coaches next to him were a little excited.

Before the game, everyone analyzed that although Dortmund passed Schalke 04, Stuttgart was not easy to deal with next. After all, it was a relegation team. At the last moment of the league, even if Bayern Munich encountered the combat effectiveness of the relegation team, they still had to be afraid.

The actual game development was indeed as they expected. At the beginning of the game, Dortmund was in a quagmire away game and now he has conceded the ball... It's great news!

Unlike Dortmund, who was in a very embarrassing game, Bayern Munich, who played at home, played freely and freely. Although they had not scored yet, they took the initiative and believed that it would be only a matter of time before they scored.

After Dortmund concedes the ball, he tried to counterattack. In the 12th minute, Groskreuz, who replaced Pisczek, made a comeback after the bottom of the right. Mark shot hard at the front of the penalty area, but was blocked by the Stuttgart defender and went out of the baseline.

Two minutes later, Reus shot from a long shot in front of the penalty area and was blocked by Stuttgart's goalkeeper Urreich.

However, Dortmund's counterattack did not achieve results, but instead allowed Stuttgart to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

In the 19th minute, Traore took the ball on the right side of the penalty area, facing Dortmund's left-back Dulm who came up to defend him, Traore accelerated and forced a breakthrough!

A dribble, then squeezed Dulm aside with his body and successfully broke into the penalty area!

"Traure! He's in, it's dangerous!" Duan Xin exclaimed.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Traore dribbled the ball towards the goal. After attracting Weidenfell, he decisively chose to cross.

The football slipped between the legs that Hummels had shoveled out of the defense and the legs that were stretched out from Weidenfeller's blocking angle, and passed to the Stuttgart player Hanick who had already responded to the goal. Hanick faced the empty goal that was close to him, and with a hooked foot, he kicked the football into the goal!

"2:0!!! Stuttgart leads two goals at home! Dortmund suffered a heavy blow!"

The entire Mercedes-Benz Arena was filled with cheers from Stuttgart fans.

At the critical moment of relegation, if Stuttgart can beat Dortmund at home, it will not only get a valuable three-pointer, but will also greatly improve the team's morale and confidence. This will be very helpful for Stuttgart's next relegation path.

The Mercedes-Benz Arena is like an erupting volcano, while Dortmund players are in the crater and are roasted on hot magma, as if they are in hell.
