Chapter 127: The battle of life and death in the League Cup

Media reporters flocked to Gu Zhen, but unfortunately they didn't interview Gu Zhen.

Not even Tang Yan!

At this time, the Dortmund club issued a ban on Gu Zhen, prohibiting Gu Zhen from being interviewed by any media reporters.

The team didn't want Gu Zhen to be implicated in these things.

The most important thing for Borussia Dortmund now is the game, the results of this season.

Dortmund now face the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Cup, where they take on Werder Bremen from the Bundesliga.

The relationship between the two teams is very complicated now, and the current situation between the two teams is one win and one draw, and the two teams are evenly divided.

Now the two teams are about to usher in a new battle at this time, and it is a very important battle, and everyone is naturally very concerned and serious.

Speaking ahead of the game, Jurgen Klopp said: "We at Borussia Dortmund will give it our all and will win this game, we are aiming for the UEFA Cup title!" ”

Yes, Klopp's ambition is out, he wants to win the UEFA Cup.

He was so strict with the Dortmund players before the game, and he very much hoped that the Dortmund players could show their best form and win these games.

Before the game, Klopp told him to be serious.

Meanwhile, Werder Bremen is also very serious, saying: "The opponent is actually very strong, but I would say that we have only one goal for this game, which is to win this game and then successfully reach the next round and win the UEFA Cup!" ”

Yes, Werder Bremen's head coach Schaff is also full of confidence in this game.

In the previous match with Dortmund, they learned about the strength of the Dortmund team, and Schaff thought that they were confident of defeating their opponents, so they gave the order to win this game.

For this match, Werder Bremen is more confident.

Before the game, the players of their team were full of confidence, and in various interviews before the game, they thought that they would win, and they really did not take the Dortmund team into account.

In particular, Werder Bremen's midfield core Brazilian Diego, he said: "The opponent's strength is indeed there, but it is really much worse than us, our attack is very strong. We are the strongest contenders for the Bundesliga title this season, so we will win against Borussia Dortmund and it will be easy! ”

Of course, media reporters also heard something about Gu Zhen, and Diego said: "Yes, the other party has Gu Zhen and has good potential. But we also have Mesut in the team, to be honest, the No. 11 star in our team is no worse than the opponent's No. 10 star, I believe that whether it is in the future or now, our Mesut is better than the Chinese player! ”

Yes, Ozil in the Werder Bremen team is also a famous young talent in German football, and now he is performing very well in the Bundesliga, and he is a frequent visitor to the German national team, so he is really better than Gu Zhen.

Now Mesut Ozil is really, really good, so far, he has provided 11 assists in the Bundesliga so far, and now he has scored three goals, which is really, really good.

He also had 4 assists in the UEFA Cup, which is really impressive.

Therefore, in Diego's opinion, Ozil is really much stronger than Gu Zhen. You have Gu Zhen, we have the more powerful Ozil, and we naturally have to win this game.

In this season's German Cup match between the two sides, Mesut Ozil performed very well, sending an assist to beat Dortmund and knock out Dortmund.

Gu Zhen didn't play in that game, so the two didn't meet much.

Now that this game is coming, everyone wants to see who is more powerful between Gu Zhen and Ozil.

Of course, for now, everyone is more optimistic about Ozil.

After all, Ozil is a German player and their star of hope, and Gu Zhen is just a genius in China, and they are more optimistic about Ozil.

The first leg between the two sides will be played at the home of Werder Bremen.

In this game, Ozil appeared in the starting list, while Gu Zhen did not appear in the starting list unexpectedly, but sat on the bench.

Everyone didn't understand what Klopp was thinking?

Why didn't you let Gu Zhen start, is Klopp really afraid that Gu Zhen is not as good as Ozil, or is there something wrong with Gu Zhen's side?

Everyone is speculating about this question.

And the game has begun, Werder Bremen team is a very obvious advantage, the opponent's midfield is a double core, Dortmund team is really difficult to defend, Diego and Ozil two take turns to control the team, send lethal passes to tear down the Dortmund team's defense.

Borussia Dortmund is really in jeopardy.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Werder Bremen tore apart the Dortmund defence. On the line of the penalty area, Ozil made a very casual backheel pass and passed the football into the box, and Almeida easily pushed it into the box, 1-0.

Five minutes later, however, Borussia Dortmund equalised from a corner.

It was Kyle who scored the goal, and he jumped high in the box to beat the opposition's Pledel and smashed the ball into the opposition goal to equalise.

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the first half.

After the start of the second half, the game changed dramatically, and it was a storm in an instant.

In the fourth minute of the second half, Werder Bremen was given a direct free-kick in a very good position, and Brazilian Diego stepped forward to take the lead and curled a ball past the Dortmund goal. In fact, Weidenfeller pounced on the football, but still couldn't prevent it from flying into the goal.

At one to two, Borussia Dortmund fell behind.

In the seventh minute of the second half, three minutes after conceding the previous goal, Werder Bremen made a comeback, and after linking up on the flanks, they suddenly sent a pinpoint cross that Almeida headed in the middle of the box that was saved by Weidenfeller.

Pizarro, who was quick to follow, pushed the ball into the empty net with a kick, three to one.

In this way, the Werder Bremen team directly eliminated the Dortmund team with a wave of offensive momentum and won the game.

After the game, the fans of Werder Bremen were very happy and very excited, they won against Borussia Dortmund again, and it was a big score.

Werder Bremen were two goals ahead and they had the advantage in the second leg.

Of course, the Werder Bremen team is not without its worries. Because they conceded a goal in this game, Dortmund also got an away goal, which still had some impact on the second leg.

That's the only thing that's bad about Werder Bremen.

In this game, Gu Zhen did not come off the bench, so he sat on the bench for 90 minutes.

This is something that everyone didn't expect, and it is not clear what happened, which makes everyone very curious.

Could it be that Gu Zhen has been too hot recently, and the people of Dortmund want to make Gu Zhen cold?

Anyway, everyone doesn't know, it's all speculation.

After this round of competition, the media reporters still did not interview Gu Zhen, they were all very annoyed and helpless.

Borussia Dortmund continue their away journey this weekend as they take on Bochum.

Bochum are now 15th in the Bundesliga, five points clear of the relegation zone. However, they have not been completely relegated either, so there is some danger of relegation now, and they are trying to get more chances so that they can ensure that they stay in the Bundesliga.

The strength of the Dortmund team is very strong, but the Bochum team is also very serious about this game, and they are also very confident, they firmly believe that they can win this game, after all, this is their home stadium.

Yes, these teams are confident before the game now.

Borussia Dortmund are a little bit better, they are very cautious and now they are aiming to get more three points and make sure every game is made, and there are no surprises.

In this game, Gu Zhen appeared in the starting list, and the fans of the Dortmund team cheered Gu Zhen's name and cheered for Gu Zhen. Of course, the eyes of all the media reporters at the scene were also focused on Gu Zhen, they wanted to see Gu Zhen's wonderful performance.

But what disappointed them was that Gu Zhen's performance in this game was not outstanding, and he was replaced by Klopp after about 60 minutes. Gu Zhen did not score or assist, which made the media reporters very disappointed.

Dortmund fans can say that no one can guarantee that they will always be in the highlight, and no one can guarantee that they will always score goals and assist. Gu Zhen's performance was decent and not bad, and the fans of the Dortmund team still gave Gu Zhen applause.

Without Gu Zhen in this game, the Dortmund team still won.

Yes, it's not that the Dortmund team can't win without Gu Zhen. They won this game very beautifully, easily winning 2-0.

In the 21st minute of the second half, Borussia Dortmund's full-back Owomoyela took the lead after checking a spot in the box and fired a low shot into the opposition goal.

In the 33rd minute of the second half, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Shahin had a good chance to shoot from the edge of the penalty area, and he seized the opportunity to smash the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

The ball had a bounce in front of the goalkeeper, but he didn't pounce on it, it flew right above his hand and into the goal.

2-0, Dortmund won so easily and got three points.

The current momentum is really good, Klopp is still quite satisfied, and now they are also maintaining an upward momentum in the league, and they still have a chance for next season's Champions League.

Jurgen Klopp will now have to consider the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-final against Werder Bremen, who will face their opponents on their home turf, and it will be a good time for them to turn the tables around.

Klopp attaches great importance to this game, and he hopes that the team can create a miracle and defeat Werder Bremen to advance to the semi-finals.

At this time, he was preparing carefully and carefully, and he wanted to catch the Werder Bremen team off guard.

Of course, now the outside world is reporting on this upcoming game, and they are all speculating whether Gu Zhen will play in this game? What about Gu Zhen's performance?
