Chapter 266 The Devil's Schedule ([-])

Back in Germany, Borussia Mönchengladbach is about to meet the 25th round of the Bundesliga at home and the 'Bumblebee' Dortmund contest.

In the contest of the first half of the season, Borussia Mönchengladbach used Nick's corner kick to beat Dortmund directly at the last moment of the Westfalenstadion.

In this fight, Dortmund's strength has continued unabated.

Czech star Rosicky has fully integrated into Dortmund's system, and Dutch central defender Stam has added an insurance to Dortmund's gate.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have rotated several players.

Friedrich, who was suspended in the Champions League, replaced Metzelder, who was elbowed by Kavacevic, Madavikia replaced Romedal, Nossa replaced Illie, and Dex replaced Ronaldinho.

Borussia Mönchengladbach set up a 4-4-2 formation, with Nossa and Cui Yongzhu at the top, and Li Yihuan withdrew to the left midfielder position.

A week of double matches still has a considerable impact on the physical condition of the players, especially for Ronaldinho.

Karl has implicitly told Ronaldinho to be restrained. It is a good thing to be young, but that Japanese woman will drain his energy. If a football player cannot discipline himself, his career will be greatly affected.

In another time and space, Ronaldinho's career has not been able to last a longer period of peak state, in fact, it is also related to his frequent nightlife.

After the start of the game, the visiting team with obviously better physical condition had a slight advantage. Rosicky took the ball frequently and was in very good condition. He had completely sent Rickon to the bench.

In the 8th minute, Rosicky showed his strength in line with his main position.

He made a pass in the middle, and the ball went directly over Dimi Leiter's head. The young player Odongko quickly inserted a close-range shot, and the ball hit the post and popped out of the baseline.

Rosicky's pass was indeed accurate, which was a great threat. Nick quickly launched a close press on Rosicky.

Naturally, Rosicky would not engage in physical confrontation with Nick. He knew where his shortcomings were, so when Nick took the initiative to seek physical contact, Rosicky directly bypassed it, and it was impossible for Nick to press Rosicky all the way.

In the 18th minute, it was Rosicky again, who made a long diagonal pass in the middle circle. The ball accurately found the head of Jan Koller on the penalty area line of Borussia Mönchengladbach.

"Ouch!"

Odongko rushed towards Rosicky like howling ghosts and wolves, and Jan Koller also ran over. The three embraced and jumped and jumped. It is naturally good to be able to advance the ball of Borussia Mönchengladbach. Now Dortmund is also qualified to fight back.

Nick called his teammates over as usual and said: "The opponent played very well today and is very smart. We must pay attention to the protection of the second point. Arne, you should keep an eye on that tall guy and don't let him have a chance to shoot. Let's run, we lead them by nearly 20 points in the standings, and there is nothing to stop us."

"come on, come on, come on!"

After the game restarted, the leading Dortmund intends to withdraw. Their defensive strength in the backcourt is very strong. Koller, Warnes and Stam, these are simply three iron towers, plus Stevic, Ruyter, Dede and others, the defense is indeed very good.

This also put Borussia Mönchengladbach's two forwards, Nossa and Choi Yongsu, in a heavy siege. After several passes, they failed to run out of the opportunity, but gave Dortmund a chance to counterattack.

In the 29th minute, Cui Yongzhu made a mistake in stopping the ball. Stam immediately squeezed the ball away, and then passed it directly to Rosicky. Rosicky quickly passed it directly to Odongko.

Odongko got the ball directly and formed a one-handed situation. Although Ilgna attacked, Odongko passed Ilgna and the score was rewritten to 0:2.
In the stands, Dortmund fans roared crazily, being able to lead away from the leaders by 2 goals, they have reason to believe that Dortmund is no longer what it used to be!

Nick crossed his hips, and he couldn't intercept the ball. Rosicky was far away from him, and his pass was very accurate. Odonko handled the ball very well twice in a row. It can be said that there is nothing to say about scoring both goals.

"I can't help it, I have to attack from the front!"

Nick figured it out in his heart, Dortmund is playing smoothly now, or Borussia Mönchengladbach's threat in the frontcourt is not enough.

The passing opportunities of the two forwards are not good, and their own ability to get rid of the ball is only a C-level, and it is difficult to create opportunities with their personal abilities.

Coupled with the fact that Micoud's current state is not very good, it's no wonder that Borussia Mönchengladbach's offense can be so good.

Nick called Miku, the two muttered a few words, and then they switched places.

After the game restarted, Nick became the attacking midfielder. After a few passes from Monchengladbach, the ball was passed directly to Nick.

While Stević held tightly behind Nick, Ruyt also ran over, trying to pinch Nick and break the ball.

Nick leaned on Stewig and forced to turn around, but Stewig immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Nick to the ground.

The attack was disrupted and Borussia Mönchengladbach were awarded a free kick from 40 meters from the goal. There is no doubt that this free kick was a small threat.

The referee ran over to warn Stevic. He hoped that the game would not be interrupted, but Stevic did the opposite. It is foreseeable that if Stevic continues to use this tactic, he will be booked sooner or later.

The free kick was chosen to hang directly into the penalty area, but Cui Yongzhu was oppressed miserably by Stam like an eagle holding a chicken. Not only did he fail to hit the ball, but he sprained his foot when it landed.

Seeing this, the team doctor ran up. After simple treatment, Cui Yongzhu was still ready to continue the game.

Nick ran over and said, "Xiao Cui, can you hold on to your feet? If you can't, go down, or it will affect your career in the future."

"Captain, don't worry, I can persevere." Cui Yongzhu gritted his teeth and said.

Nick also saw that Choi Yong-soo was really holding on. Korean players are still very good in terms of willpower, but if Choi Yong-soo really does this, he will definitely regret it in the future.

But since Cui Yongzhu insisted, Nick couldn't say anything more.

The game continued, Borussia Mönchengladbach quickly took control of the ball through the midfielder's press, but facing the densely defended Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach really had no good way.

Nick's breakthrough did allow Stevic and Ruyt to receive a chapter of yellow cards each. Dortmund is obviously implementing Van Marwijk's tactic of not letting Nick get close to the penalty area.

The time of the game was quickly consumed until the end of the first half, Borussia Mönchengladbach trailed 0:2, and there were only 3 shots in the entire first half.

Cui Yongzhu also paid the price for his persistence. At the end of the half, his feet were already swollen, and he could not persist in the second half.

In the locker room, the atmosphere was a bit tense, but Carl suddenly asked Klopp to play music at this moment.

"Hey kids, relax and relax, don't be too tight!"

The music played for 10 minutes before it stopped, and everyone really relaxed at this time.

Karl said: "Everyone encountered trouble in the first half. Dortmund's defense was very strong. If we want to open up the situation, we have to pass the ball up. Everyone ran and opened up Dortmund's defense!"

"come on, come on, come on!"

After the intermission, players from both sides walked out of the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.

Huntelaar replaced the injured Cui Yongzhu, and the Dutch teenager is now very confident.

At the beginning of the second half, Borussia Mönchengladbach forced Stevic to miss the ball through a press. Nick stabbed decisively, and then forced a breakthrough to get the ball.
