Borussia Dortmund have three rivals in German football: historic Ruhr rivals Schalke 04, Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich and their close neighbours Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Some media outlets have excitedly likened the duel between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich to a national derby, and although the duo does not have the old past or regional flair of the mining derby, their duel will never lack drama and passion.

At the same time, this is also the propaganda needs of the German media, Serie A has the Italian national derby, La Liga has the Spanish national derby, and the Bundesliga also has it!

The rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich can be condensed into a classic picture. On April 19, 1997, Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich. Andres. Muller and Mathaus were at the centre of the confrontation, with the Bayern captain taunting his national team team-mate like a crying child, and he was immediately slapped in the face. Perhaps it was karma that Dortmund lifted the Champions League trophy in Munich that year.

The following year, Borussia Dortmund had the last laugh in their showdown with Bayern Munich, who knocked them out in the Champions League quarter-finals. But that was the last smile for the Yellow and Black when Heathfield jumped ship to Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund, a former maths teacher who was the architect of the Hornets' glory in the 90s. He went on to lead Bayern to five league titles, three German Cups and the 2001 Champions League.

……

What is embarrassing is that the most glorious memories of the two teams are cheering by stepping on each other's corpses.

Bayern's biggest win in the Bundesliga was an 11-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in 1971, and the 2001 duel between the two sides became the dirtiest game in the Bundesliga to date: the total number of red and yellow cards between the two teams reached 15 (10 yellow cards, 1 double yellow turned red, 2 straight red cards), of which 12 were given to Bayern players.

In the 2011/2012 season, Borussia Dortmund's dominance allowed Bayern to swallow the bitter fruit of the "King of Sanya" for the first time: the Hornets not only defended the Bundesliga title, but also defeated Bayern 5-2 in the German Cup final. But a season later, Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund at the new Wembley Stadium to be crowned treble-champions.

There is no friendship between the two teams anymore, and Bayern's two recent deals have made the situation even worse. Gotze's defection to Bavaria was a huge disappointment for Dortmund, with the Nerazzurri receiving a hefty transfer fee and losing an academy talent. And the farewell ceremony that was scheduled to be held was also canceled. The decision itself says it all.

As for Lewandowski's transfer to Bayern, the Pole almost joined Bayern after tearing his face with Dortmund, although now Dortmund has found a new leading goalscorer, however, Dortmund fans will not forgive the Pole.

……

Before the game, "Kicker" introduced the historical grievances, and listed the focus of the first German national derby of the season:

Will Dortmund lose three games in a row to Bayern?

In last season's Champions League final and the new season of the German Super Cup, Dortmund lost to Bayern Munich, especially the Champions League final, which is an unforgettable memory for the whole Dortmund team.

In addition, this match will be the first time in the Bundesliga since Gotze's 'defection' that he will return to the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna, and Dortmund fans will surely be 'warmly welcomed' for the return of the former prince.

Finally, the duel between Jiang Chenxi and Lewandowski, the competition between Chinese shooters and Polish strikers in the Bundesliga scorer list is unprecedentedly fierce.

At the time of this direct matchup, Jiang Chenxi scored 13 goals in this season's Bundesliga, while Lewandowski also scored 13 goals, and he worked very hard in the last round of the league, and finally scored twice to help Bayern Munich beat Augsburg. However, this did not win applause for the Poles, and the Ruhr media quipped that Lewandowski used his strength in the game, and the total number of goals scored in the two games was still not as good as Jiang's nine minutes......

……

Since Jiang Chenxi staged the miracle of '5 goals in 9 minutes' in the 11th round of the league, Bayern Munich's Polish goalscorer Lewandowski has 'disappeared'.

The Bayern Munich star is very low-key.

Except for training and competitions, he has come home to accompany his wife Anna, and you will hardly find him.

"Is it necessary to decompress the Poles?" Bayern Munich assistant coach Manuel. Estiyat asked.

"No, no, no." Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola shook his head and said, "It's good, it's good, you don't have to change anything." ”

In recent training and games, the Pole is very serious, and he is holding his breath, intending to compete with Jiang Chenxi in a direct confrontation with Dortmund.

Obviously, the previous '9 minutes 5 goals incident' hurt the Poles a lot.

Such a direct confrontation opportunity is the best opportunity for both sides to prove themselves (stronger than the opposite).

……

After the training session, Lewandowski drove away from Sebena Street.

He ignored the siege of reporters along the way.

However, he refused to be interviewed by the media, but he was more enthusiastic about the fans.

Near his doorstep, the Pole met two Bayern Munich fans, Lewandowski, to be exact.

Both fans, who were wearing Bayern Munich's number 9 shirt, asked Robert Lewandowski to sign their shirt.

"Robert, can we win Dortmund?"

Lewandowski asked as he wrote autographs to the fans.

"Of course." Lewandowski nodded.

"Come on, Robert, you're the best in our eyes." The fan said, giving him a thumbs up, "You Chinese are much more powerful." ”

Lewandowski was deeply moved, what a good fan, whether it is for them or for himself, he must help the team win Dortmund.

Seeing Lewandowski's back walking away, one of the fans clapped his hands, "Hurry up, let's go, Dortmund." ”

As he spoke, the two guys took off Bayern Munich's No. 9 jersey at once, revealing Dortmund's No. 10 jersey worn inside:

10-Jiang!

……

Dortmund training base.

"Your name is ......," Jiang Chenxi asked.

"Pete and Tosca."

"To dear Pete and Tosca." Jiang Chenxi signed on the jersey with a pen, and he signed for German fans in two ways together, one is English writing, and the other is a Chinese character signature, which is very popular with German fans, who believe that this square word has mysterious power.

Jiang Chenxi handed the pen back to the two.

"Jiang, come on, we support you." Pete took the pen and shouted with a fist.

"Yes, you are much better than that Pole!" Tosca gave a thumbs up.
