Chapter 642 Su Dong stole our victory!

Bayern reversed Dortmund [-]-[-], and Su Dong's hat-trick once again made him the cusp of the limelight.

Dortmund coach Klopp pointed out unwillingly after the game that Bayern fell behind Dortmund by more than 80 minutes in this game, but relied on the personal ability of the star to reverse the situation in the final stage.

He believes that such a result is unfair to Dortmund.

"Actually, I think we should have walked away with at least a draw instead of a one-three result."

Klopp said that he is satisfied with the performance of Dortmund's players. The team has basically performed at the expected level and caused considerable trouble for Bayern. If it is not for bad luck, Dortmund must have scored more than one goal.

As for the collapse in the final stage of the game, Klopp believes that this was because Su Dong seized the loophole in the physical decline of Dortmund players and stole the victory that should have belonged to Dortmund, not Bayern's overall victory.

"During the game, Su Dong showed the value and strength of No.1 in world football. When our players' physical fitness declined, it was difficult to effectively stop him. But what I want to say is that in the first 80 minutes, we did a good job of defending him and did not give him too many opportunities."

But Klopp's remarks were quickly refuted by Heynckes.

The old man Hai also said that he spoke highly of Bayern's overall performance tonight and believed that the team played quite well.

"Anyone who has watched the game should know that if it weren't for luck to be on the opponent's side tonight, we would have ended the game in the first half, and there was no need to drag it to the final stage. Su Dong alone had two center post, let alone other players."

Heynckes believes that Bayern's problem tonight is that their mentality is a little too anxious. This concentrated reaction in the first half. During the intermission, he had repeatedly reminded the players about this issue and achieved certain results.

"Dortmund is a very difficult team, and the improvement this season is also very obvious, but we use a victory to prove that we are the one that should win the most."

Regarding the league trend this season, Heynckes said that he firmly believes that Bayern can have the last laugh, and hopes that the team can continue to work hard on the three lines, strive to go hand in hand, and reproduce the glorious peak of last season.

……

Regarding the expectations raised by Heynckes, Kicker magazine believes that the problem of the Bundesliga is not very big.

Winning the second half of the championship with a complete victory record, Bayern's lead in the Bundesliga is very obvious, especially after Hoffenheim's main player Ibisevic was seriously injured and missed all the remaining games of the season, Hoffenheim's momentum was obviously contained.

Everyone basically believes that as long as Bayern plays normally, it will be difficult for anyone to challenge their dominance.

The German Cup has also reached the quarter-finals. With Bayern's strength, it is very likely to continue to defend the German Cup, because the advantage in the league is large enough, Bayern can concentrate more energy on the cup.

What is really suspenseful is the Champions League, especially after reaching the knockout rounds, Bayern has the strength to compete with the top European teams, but whether they can win or not still needs to be tested by the game.

The most powerful opponents in the Champions League come from the Premier League and La Liga.

Real Madrid in La Liga has declined, but Barcelona is superior, especially after Mourinho coached this season, the team's ability to fight tough battles has improved significantly.

In the words of the media, after the defense is good, Barcelona's results have also improved.

The Premier League is Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. The four giants of the Premier League are strong contenders for the Champions League. Even Arsenal, with the rise of young players such as Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie, and the joining of Arshavin, Arsenal's overall strength has improved significantly.

As for Liverpool, let alone, Benitez has always been regarded as a cup expert, but anyone who encounters this team will have a very headache.

Kicker magazine believes that Bayern’s biggest reliance is undoubtedly Su Dong. He is not only Bayern’s number one superstar, but also the core combat strength. As long as Su Dong can continue his outstanding performance this season, I believe it will not be difficult to lead Bayern to continue in the Champions League.

…………

After the [-]-[-] reversal of Dortmund, Bayern once again ushered in a week of rest.

This is undoubtedly a very valuable adjustment opportunity for Bayern, who is about to usher in a week of double matches.

In response to the problems exposed in the past two rounds, Heynckes adjusted the team's tactics, especially the defense.

A week later, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern went north to Berlin to challenge Hertha Berlin away.

The day before the Bayern game, Hoffenheim sat at home against Leverkusen.

As a result, this team, which ranked second in the standings, was humiliated by Leverkusen four to one at their home court.

Ibisevic's serious injury made Hoffenheim's offense a big blow. Instead, it was the pharmaceutical factory in the away game. Helmers opened the scoring for Leverkusen in the first 3 minutes of the game, and then Leverkusen scored three goals in a row.

Hoffenheim only held their face with a penalty kick in No. 301 minutes, and finally lost [-]-[-] at home.

This battle hit Hoffenheim very hard, especially for this team from the countryside to clearly see the gap in strength between itself and the Bundesliga powerhouses.

The ranking in the first half was just an accident. When the top Bundesliga teams reacted one after another, there was nothing wrong with Hoffenheim.

If Hoffenheim wants to achieve good results, they need to strengthen their strength again.

……

Bayern challenged Hertha Berlin a day after Hoffenheim was humiliated by Leverkusen.

Before this game, Hertha Berlin has won seven consecutive home games so far this season. In the ten home games this season, Hertha Berlin has only lost one game, which can be described as very strong.

After the winter break, although Bayern beat Stuttgart in the German Cup, their performance in two consecutive league games could not be considered outstanding.

The answer is that it was difficult for Bayern to get good scoring opportunities throughout the game.

Hertha Berlin's defense was very solid and tight, and did not give Bayern too much space. It was not until the No.701 minute of the second half that Su Dong received a through pass from Ribery. He stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed the central defender Simnic.

One to zero, Bayern narrowly beat Hertha Berlin away.

…………

…………

A week later, the Bundesliga ushered in the No.20 round.

Bayern sits at home against Cologne.

Due to the UEFA Champions League knockout match in the middle of the week and the particularity of the game, Heynckes arranged for Klose and Podolski to start at the same time, obviously also to give Podolski a chance.

The Prince of Cologne had a strong desire to fight before the game, because he will return to Cologne after the end of this season, so he naturally hopes to use this game to let everyone in Cologne see his strength.

Heynckes also clearly knew this, so he was arranged to start the game.

No. In the 13th minute, Klose headed the goal from close range with a pass from Lahm's right, opening the scoring for Bayern.

But then, Cologne launched a wave of fierce counterattacks against the home team, fighting against Bayern without fear.

Especially in the second minute of No.20, Vucicevic passed the ball, allowing teammate Eret to avoid Neuer who was attacking, and tried to push the empty goal, but Pepe did not let Eret avoid himself at the critical moment and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

But in the No. 304 minute, Vucicevic made a quick counterattack from the right and made a pass. The unguarded young player Brosinski scored in front of the goal, broke through Bayern's goal, and equalized the score.

After that, the two teams have never been able to score again.

Podolski continued his previous poor performance at Bayern.

This is also a very puzzling thing. He played very well in the German national team, but he performed very poorly in Bayern. This is not because Heynckes deliberately did not give him a chance, but because he really did not perform well.

Just like tonight, even Su Dong was hidden on the bench, let Podolski play, can you say that he won't be given a chance?
Is it enough to take care of local players?

But Podolski basically didn't perform well on the court.

So that in the No. 605 minute of the second half, Heynckes couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately asked Su Dong to replace him.

In just 3 minutes, Su Dong received a cross from the right from Lahm in the penalty area and headed the goal from close range.

Although it was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, the shot still boosted the morale of the team and aroused cheers from the entire Allianz Arena.

In the 804th minute, Robben dribbled the ball inside and made a diagonal pass with his left foot. Su Dong sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his left foot when there was no defense at the back point, and Bayern once again exceeded the score.

Two to one!

Bayern finally defeated the visiting Cologne [-]-[-] with a goal from substitute Su Dong.

……

In the locker room after the game, Podolski kept a dark face all the time, writing all his dissatisfaction on his face.

Anyone can see it, but only a few local players stepped forward to appease him.

The opportunity was given to him, but he didn't seize it. Who can blame him?

Could it be that Heynckes has to follow the example of Boloni at Sporting Lisbon, and continue to give him opportunities even when Nikule's performance is not good, believing that he can succeed?

If that was the case, then Heynckes would have dismissed get out of class long ago.

At least like Boloni, how many people in European football still remember this name?

If media reporters hadn't occasionally reported on Su Dong's past and mentioned him a few words, who would know him?
Professional football is cruel, but Podolski is like a flower in a greenhouse, very delicate and needs to be cared for.

Sometimes, Su Dong even felt that if he was not a German player, he might have been sold by Bayern a long time ago.

However, this has nothing to do with Su Dong.

……

After playing Cologne, Bayern quickly packed their bags.

In the middle of the week, the team set off for Lisbon, Portugal, to challenge Sporting Lisbon away.

This is also the first time that Su Dong returned to his old club as a visiting team after leaving Sporting Lisbon.
