Grass roots glory

Chapter 634 The Second Round

Dortmund won by one goal and Malaga lost by one goal, which made the reporters in these two cities very delicate. The Dortmund media now feel that the small victory is not enough, and the 1:0 did not meet their expectations at all.It's really not that they are not greedy enough, but that they are all worried about some kind of "what if"...

Once the opponent steals one in Westphalia, the advantage of the score and away goals will be wiped out in an instant, so that Dortmund is standing on the edge of a cliff.

Therefore, after the game, the media that really maintains rationality, such as the "Dortmund Youth Daily", will not brag about it like a small newspaper. Such a question was posed directly to Klopp in the post-press conference.They feel that they are kind and should remind Klopp to pay attention.

But Klopp, as always, never said any soft words in front of the media, his face collapsed by two points, and he asked the reporter who asked the question: "When was the last time we lost at the Westphalon Stadium?" matter? May I ask if you still remember?"

When Klopp started to ask such rhetorical questions, many reporters showed a look of optimism.

Well... this style is very Klopp!

The Chinese reporters all laughed: Uncle Zha is going to start teasing people again, really disrespecting the little girl!

The interviewer for Klopp was a young reporter in his early twenties who probably didn't have much industry experience. When he heard Uncle Zha's rhetorical question, he immediately became a little nervous and cramped.Obviously it hasn't been mixed into old fritters, otherwise it will immediately reply with a sentence of "there has been and has not happened, and of course we have reason to worry"...

Fortunately, Klopp did not let her answer, but went on to state: "I only know that we won. In Westphalia, everyone will see a normal Dortmund... I think you should be able to Get what I mean."

Klopp has always been confident, but what's interesting is that not only he is confident, but Malaga, who has lost a small goal, is also full of confidence.

When Pellegrini's post-match press conference said "go to Westphalia to make trouble", the next day the slogan "go to Dortmund to create a miracle" has already appeared in Malaga's large and small media superior.

In the final analysis, the one-goal advantage is not thorough enough, and Malaga still has illusions.

……

Back in the league, Dortmund reversed Augsburg 4:2 at home on the weekend, and it was not easy to win. They even fell behind 1:2 in the first half, which gave the Dortmund media a reason to worry about the second round a week later.

However, scoring three goals in a row in the second half was still Klopp's words: They won, and that was enough.

The second round will be played three days later. Klopp was actually preparing for the second round when he played against Augsburg in the league.Hummels and Piszczek took turns, otherwise they would not give a relegation team a chance to score two goals.

……

At the pre-match press conference for the second round, Pellegrini took Isco to attend. His appearance still aroused a lot of media interest. After all, he is a rumored figure that Real Madrid is eyeing.

But Isco knew exactly what he should say now. He just smiled at the reporters: "Real Madrid has nothing to do with this game. I haven't had time to think about my future. Because I am still from Malaga. I hope this The game can be as perfect as we want it to be."

Isco's expression was considered polite and quite satisfactory, at least the media did not find any abnormalities.But when he turned to interview Zhou Tiancheng, Zhou Tiancheng leaked the "secret".

"Everyone wants to win. It's not surprising that Malaga have such a goal. Hehe, they are a team with big goals. I know from Isco. He asked me for the last game. We had a very good time. comminicate."

Now the reporters are more interested. They didn't expect that there were off-court tidbits between Jintong and Jinqiu. The live footage of the last game didn't capture it, and most of them went to squeeze the mix after the game. The location of the interview area is gone, I didn't expect this to happen at all.

Facing the curiosity of the reporters, Zhou Tiancheng said casually: "It's nothing, he just said that he will definitely beat me, and he also gave me a jersey... Well, let's not talk about it, maybe he has already done it now." I’m ready, and I have to prepare too.”

Zhou Tiancheng said nothing, but in fact he said everything.

Now there are always fans going to find trouble in front of the hotel where Malaga is staying, and this has nothing to do with Zhou Tiancheng!
The teammates had a consensus in the locker room in private, Gross Kreutz said: "Zhou, in fact, you are the last person to be messed with. You are smiling on the surface, but in fact you have deeper routines than you, Uncle Kevin, and you have a wicked heart." .”

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "Kevin, this is called tactics, as long as it can cause trouble for the opponent, any strategy can be used, why not?"

……

In this game, Pellegrini is destined to be more troublesome than Klopp.Captain Willigton's accumulative yellow card suspension is a blow at first, and this time he must strive for goals.

So this time he changed to 4-2-3-1 after weighing the balance, with the midfielder as the axis and the main offensive. Sergio Sanchez replaced Willigton, and the former Sevilla midfielder Duda was put in the starting lineup. .

Malaga no longer arranged two defensive midfielders like the previous game. Pellegrini's goal this time is to try his best to activate Isco.

When Isco is surrounded, Duda can immediately step up to ensure the continuity of Malaga's attack.

After the opening, Malaga's scene was not much different from the previous one. It was a bit anti-customer, but Marcel Leif was still in the mood to joke: "Last time at home, this intensity lasted for half an hour. This time Can you hold on for 10 minutes at a time? Haha! Zhou hasn’t exerted strength yet, and Malaga better pray that their backcourt is strong enough.”

When the camera was shown on Pellegrini, his expression was not very good. CCTV commentator Duan Xuan interpreted: "Perhaps only Malaga's promotion can give Pellegrini some comfort. His father just passed away. He is He rushed back to Chile to attend the funeral after the league weekend (see note), and flew directly to Germany to join the team. It can be seen that he values ​​​​this game very much... But whether Zhou Tiancheng is willing to give him this opportunity is another matter .”

Duan Xuan, the CCTV commentator for this game, had just finished speaking. Isco received a pass from Santa Cruz outside the penalty area, broke through and dunked Subotic, and released a long shot. Fortunately, Weidenfeller responded Fast enough, the finger rubbed a little bit, almost touching the goal line and changing the running route of the ball.

"My God, it's so hanging!"

"Malaga is not weak. After all, it is the knockout round of the Champions League. Dortmund must play [-] points."

Xu Yang hurriedly helped to smooth things over, and almost overblown.

PS: There was a clerical error in the last chapter. Pellegrini was from Chile, so he wrote it as Italy out of excitement.

Edited, sorry.
