Start from 1999

Chapter 123 Defeat like a mountain

The situation of the three teams with the same score made the media hooked.The media is naturally the master who is afraid of chaos in the world. The more chaos they have, the more explosive their news will be, and the more they will attract the attention of readers and audiences.

"Bild" believes that the Bundesliga has not seen such a lively scene for many years. Borussia Mönchengladbach is undoubtedly a new force.

"Kicker"'s point of view is that the top three stand side by side. Whoever wins the championship depends on who can reduce mistakes. The magazine is not optimistic about Borussia Mönchengladbach, because Nick's absence has a great impact on the team, and it can be seen from the last three rounds that Borussia Mönchengladbach is already on the decline.

"Munich Sports" is very excited about Bayern's great pursuit. The newspaper wrote an article to cheer for Bayern, saying that Bayern's championship background will definitely bless the team to win the championship.

Some foreign media are also optimistic that Bayern can catch up from behind. Judging from the performance in recent rounds, Bayern has indeed performed strongly.

The fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach were very anxious. They watched the 8-point lead being evened out, which made them anxious. Without captain Nick, the team would be mediocre.

All the fans are looking forward to Captain Nick's comeback, but it's still early. Half of the 15-game suspension is over, and it's already far away.

On February 2th, Borussia Mönchengladbach played against Dortmund at home. This is another tough nut to crack. Dortmund's league results are not good, but the UEFA Cup has entered the top 20.

But this team can play inextricably with their opponents in every game. Even if they play against Bayern and Leverkusen, the scene does not fall behind.Goalkeeper Lehmann is maturing, Koller and Warnes on the back line are old and strong, midfielder Ruyter is very strong, and Amoruso and Jan Koller in the frontcourt are high and fast. The whole lineup looks very competitive.

Since Leverkusen was tied 041:1 by Schalke in the first game yesterday, so as long as Mönchengladbach wins today, they can get rid of Leverkusen by 2 points, which makes Mönchengladbach full of fighting spirit.

Nick and Eto'o were still sitting in the stands, chatting and laughing with the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach beside them, still full of confidence in the team.

After the start of the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach still focused on Ortega at the beginning. After several rounds of practice, Ortega is now gradually adapting to the characteristics of his teammates. He is still very reassuring to hold the ball.

In the 4th minute of the opening, Ortega passed a through ball with a small angle to Larson. The latter's shot rubbed against the post and rolled out of the baseline.

But then Ruyt stepped up his marking on Ortega, and Ruyt quickly suppressed Ortega with his physical strength, making it uncomfortable for the 'little donkey' to hold the ball and pass the ball unsafely.

Li Yihuan immediately rushed over to switch positions with Ortega. Li Yihuan hadn't played as a midfielder in Borussia Mönchengladbach, but Nick told him before the game that if Ortega was closely marked by the opponent, he could switch positions with Ortega, using his own speed advantage to disrupt Dortmund's rhythm.

Li Yihuan did disrupt Dortmund's rhythm. He is actually a fake attacking midfielder, and it is Ortega who really controls the offensive rhythm of the team.

Ortega soon made troubles on the left side. Once his technical characteristics were brought into full play, he would kill the Buddha when he met the Buddha, and kill the god when he met the god.

In the 14th minute, Ortega broke through the defenses of Rickon, Evanilsen and Stević in a row, broke into the penalty area from the left and crossed the middle. Jankel missed a point before Larsson rushed up and kicked the ball into the net. 1:0, Borussia Mönchengladbach took the lead.

Nick and Eto'o high-fived. Ortega was so attractive that most people couldn't guard against him, and Yanker played very smartly. This omission shocked both Correll and Warnes, but Larson still had an excellent ability to grab points.

The fans of the home team stood up and applauded. This wonderful goal has high technical and tactical content and is pleasing to the eye.

Even Dortmund fans thought the goal was really wonderful, even though it was scored by the opponent.

However, Dortmund's players were also inspired by this goal, and the two Brazilians, Amoruso and Evan Nielsen, also started to perform.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense is also very fierce. Against such a skilled player, there is no way to stop it without some fouls.

In the 19th minute, Hausweiler directly shoveled Amoruso out of the sideline and gave Dortmund a free kick from the side.

Jan Koller, a Czech center with a height of more than two meters, immediately became excited. Set kicks are Jan Koller's favorite way of scoring, because he is tall enough and can easily grab the spot.

Friedrich and Jankel clamped Jankole back and forth. Although you are tall, I will not let you jump. It depends on what you do.

Ricken took a free kick, and Borussia Mönchengladbach turned their backs in the penalty area. Borussia Mönchengladbach went to mark Dortmund's tall men, but they didn't watch Amoruso. The Brazilian star hid in front of Jan Koller and raised his foot to volley. The ball rushed into the net. 1:1, Dortmund tied the score.

Nick couldn't help cursing: "Damn!"

Eto'o also couldn't help holding his head in his hands, feeling sorry for the team's loss of points.

Dortmund took advantage of such an opportunity to equalize the score, which made people feel useless. Enke picked up the ball from the goal and kicked it hard, venting his depression.

The two sides were back on the same starting line again. Karl stood on the sidelines and made a gesture of pressing forward to the players. At the critical moment of the league, Karl couldn't help being lonely. The standard of an excellent coach is obviously associated with the championship. Karl thinks he is an excellent coach, so he must ask the team to play at the championship level.

In fact, Borussia Mönchengladbach's advantage is indeed in offense. Both technology and speed can be used to compete with the Bundesliga strong teams.

Seeing Karl's gesture, both Malouda and Hausweiler couldn't help but rushed across the center line.

Facing Dortmund's pressing defense, Borussia Mönchengladbach continued to use wide players to suppress their opponents. In the 25th minute, Li Yihuan actually ran to the right and played a two-for-one match with Madavikia. Then the right side of the penalty area turned a curve ball directly from a small angle, and the ball spun straight to the back corner of Dortmund's goal.

The sudden shot made the Dortmund players helpless, but Lehmann was tall and long, and he lifted the ball out of the crossbar with a single backward punch.

Li Yihuan clapped his hands fiercely. The ball was so sudden that it was also hit by Lehman. This guy's level is no lower than that of Enke.

Nick also applauded such an offensive and defensive performance in the stands.

"Hey, captain, the opponent's goalkeeper just got lucky. It's not as good as Xiao Lizi's goal." Eto'o said a little unconvinced.

Nick naturally wouldn't tell Eto'o about Lehmann's later achievements, but said with a smile: "Haha, Samuel, the football field is always full of unpredictability. Jens' goalkeeping skills are very good, you can observe slowly."

"Really? I just see this guy is very tall." Eto'o muttered.

Lehmann on the field roared angrily. Not every goalkeeper can save such a goal. Lehmann also wanted to enter the national team, but Enke and Kahn blocked him. Lehmann knew that if he wanted to pass them, he had to show better performance.

The corner kick after Borussia Mönchengladbach was taken by Ortega, but the ball was directly taken by Lehmann.

Lehmann threw the ball directly to Amoruso, and the Brazilian quickly broke through with the ball. Borussia Mönchengladbach retreated a bit late, and Amoruso formed a one-on-one opportunity with Metzelder.

"Christopher, kill this damn Brazilian!"

"Stop him, get him out!"

"Damn! Don't let him pass!"

Borussia Mönchengladbach fans roared loudly, obviously very afraid of Amoruso.

The same is true for Metzelder. Although after more than half a season of training, Metzelder's ability has reached the level of a first-class central defender, but he is still far from the top.

Faced with Amoruso's fake action, Metzelder slipped and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"My sun! Is this guy Metzelder letting go?" Nick was taken aback. Metzelder joined Dortmund in history. Could it be that he really can't give gifts?

The fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach were also stunned, but Amoruso happily accepted such a great gift. He accelerated past Metzelder, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and faced Enke who attacked, Amoruso made a light pick. The ball slowly crossed an arc and fell into the net. 1:2, Dortmund overtook the score.

Karl stood on the sidelines, a little disappointed, Metzelder made such a mistake, is it really God's will?Borussia Mönchengladbach really not worthy of the Bundesliga title?

Metzelder stood on the field with a dejected look, obviously very remorseful for his performance.

If Nick had been on the court, he would have stepped forward to comfort Metzelder immediately, but his teammates seemed to have no intention of doing so. Captain Enke on the court roared angrily: "Christopher, what the hell are you doing? Sleepwalking?"

Metzelder is even more sad. The team needs 3 points, but now it is very likely that they will not get 1 point. The weakness of young players' emotional fluctuations is fully revealed at this moment, which makes the coach of the visiting team who only took office during the winter break.

The atmosphere in the Paul Cabage Stadium was so tense that it was about to explode. Nick thought to himself that the first half would end quickly, and maybe only the halftime break could save the team.

But less than 1 minute after the game restarted, Metzelder actually made a stop error when receiving a return pass from Edmilson, and the ball ran past his feet!

Amoruso, who was running to press Metzelder, almost didn't laugh out loud. There are all such mistakes. Borussia Mönchengladbach's central defender is too good, right?

Amoruso rushed forward to get the ball and rushed into the penalty area after lying down for two steps. Facing Enke, he pushed the far corner and the ball rolled into the goal again. 1:3, Dortmund expanded the score!
