Start from 1999

Chapter 272 The overall situation has been decided
After winning three consecutive victories in the Champions League, major European media have put forward their own views on the situation of the "group of death".

"Bild" said that Borussia Mönchengladbach will appear soon. Two weeks later, as long as Borussia Mönchengladbach beats Juventus at home, they will directly qualify from this group and be able to break out of the "group of death" again. Borussia Mönchengladbach already has the strength to hit the Champions League.

"Kicker" is titled "Mönchengladbach achieves a great recovery", and describes Mönchengladbach's history in the UEFA Champions League in detail this season, and proposes that Nick is the key to Mönchengladbach's recovery, and it is Nick who allows Mönchengladbach to have multiple sets of tactics.

"L'Equipe" expressed regret for the tragic three-game losing streak of the national team Paris Saint-Germain, and at the same time praised Borussia Mönchengladbach. The newspaper believes that Borussia Mönchengladbach has the strength to win the championship. The bookmakers and underground casinos should adjust the odds of winning the Champions League.

The "Guardian" also agreed with Borussia Mönchengladbach's strength, and expressed concern about whether Manchester United, Arsenal, and Leeds United in their own countries can withstand Borussia Mönchengladbach in the knockout round after they have won the right to qualify.

"Aspen" praised Nick for leading a Bundesliga team that is not considered a wealthy team to success. If he can win the championship, Nick will become the world's top star.

"Mundo Deportivo" expressed its gratitude for Barcelona's draw with Juventus in the away game, but it also believes that Borussia Mönchengladbach has already qualified in this group, and Barcelona and Juventus will compete for another qualifying place.

The praise from the media made Borussia Mönchengladbach feel a little light for a while. Everyone is human, so it is inevitable that they cannot stand up to the praise, so it is easy to understand.

So in the 27th round of the Bundesliga on the weekend, Borussia Mönchengladbach received a blow!
In the home game against Frankfurt, the 14th place in the league, Borussia Mönchengladbach scored a goal after being cut inside by Chinese star Yang Chen in less than 15 minutes.

Before that, Borussia Mönchengladbach was basically playing against Frankfurt, but the players seemed to have forgotten to bring their shooting boots today, and the two forwards, Illier and Huntelaar, wereted a lot of opportunities.

After falling behind by one goal, Borussia Mönchengladbach pressed across the board, putting Frankfurt in their own half-court brawl.

But as many as 19 shots have not knocked on the opponent's door, which is really evil.

On the surface, it seems that the team is unlucky. In fact, there is something wrong with the mentality of the players. After being praised by the media as a strong team, the players can't find their position.

Then, Yang Chen seized the opportunity of Borussia Mönchengladbach to get a one-handed goal in the 77th minute. After passing Irgner in the penalty area, he pushed the empty goal and rewritten the score to 0:2.
This is Yang Chen's 14 goals this season. The Chinese striker is in pretty good shape.But Yang Chen scored a goal, but Frankfurt lost consecutively. In the past 5 rounds, they lost 4 games, and they are already approaching the relegation zone.

Now Frankfurt leads by 2 goals, and there are only more than ten minutes left in the game. It seems that Borussia Mönchengladbach will encounter Waterloo in this game.

At the critical moment, Karl replaced Illie with the young player Nossa, then replaced Ronaldinho with the Japanese player Jun Inamoto, and Sinclair replaced Li Yihuan.

After changing three players in a row, Borussia Mönchengladbach suddenly found the feeling.

In the 83rd minute, Sinclair made a 45-degree cross from the left and was caught by Huntelaar. After the ball fell, it fell right at the feet of Noza.

This goal immediately stabilized the hearts of the Borussia Mönchengladbach players, and their confidence returned.

They began to tear through Frankfurt's defense with skillful passes, and the teenager Huntelaar was the center forward on the front line. His point became the best point for Borussia Mönchengladbach to hold the ball.

In the 88th minute, Nick made a long pass from the backcourt. It was still Huntelaar who topped the ball, and then made a pass back. Japanese player Junichi Inamoto made a long shot without making any adjustments. The ball slipped into the upper left corner of Frankfurt's goal. 2:2, Borussia Mönchengladbach equalized the score.

Inamoto Junichi excitedly rushed to the sidelines to take off his clothes to celebrate, which caused him a yellow card. It seems that his first Bundesliga goal made him very excited, and it was a goal for the team to equalize the score. Inamoto Junichi felt that a yellow card was worth it.

After the score was equalized by Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Frankfurt players panicked. In the final analysis, Frankfurt's strength is still not enough. If it weren't for Yang Chen's 14 goals, they might have already been lying in the relegation zone.After letting go of Schneider, Shure, Warnes and others in a row, they are also at the level of the relegation zone team.

This gave Borussia Mönchengladbach a chance to stage a big reversal.

At 92 minutes and 55 seconds of stoppage time, Nick dribbled the ball in at high speed and made a pass through Frankfurt's penalty area. Frankfurt defender Bindwald made a mistake in his busy schedule and shoveled the ball into his own gate!

Super big oolong!
Bindwald collapsed on the grass, while Yang Chen who came over had a displeased expression on his face. His two goals were scored with all his might, but now they are all in vain.

The Borussia Mönchengladbach players celebrated together excitedly, and the Baucaberg Stadium became a sea of ​​carnival for the home team fans.

Afterwards, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Frankfurt took the lead for 77 minutes, and lost three goals in the last 15 minutes. Borussia Mönchengladbach staged a great reversal.

In the whole game, Borussia Mönchengladbach shot as many as 28 shots, which made the opponent feel scared. Only 28 shots were scored in 3 shots. This is far from enough for Borussia Mönchengladbach, which is known for its high efficiency.

Eintracht Frankfurt players went home sad, Borussia Mönchengladbach players had a reason to go to the bar for a night of partying.

Because the second-ranked Bayern lost 2:3 at home to Werder Bremen, which made the points gap between them and Borussia Mönchengladbach widen to 17 points!
With 7 rounds left in the league, Borussia Mönchengladbach has truly entered the championship moment!
The big picture is set!

Borussia Mönchengladbach, with the joy of a huge point difference, beat Borussia Dortmund by 2 goals at the Westfalenstadion in the third round of the German Cup midweek. Ronaldinho recovered and scored two goals for Borussia Mönchengladbach alone.

However, Dortmund did not do their best in this game. They are now competing for the critical moment of the Champions League qualification, and they are obviously saving their strength for the league.

After the 27th round of the league, Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen and Hertha Berlin have the same 51 points, and the points gap from Bayern is only 3 points. Dortmund will have a direct confrontation with Bayern in the next round.

This is nothing to do with Borussia Mönchengladbach, you guys had better kick your ass, and it would be even better if the league championship is automatically given to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Although the German Cup champion is now a tasteless one, it is better than nothing. If the triple crown can be collected at the end of the season, it will definitely be a kind of enjoyment.
