After Zhou Yi scored a goal, it was not only Ajax's defense line, but also their fighting spirit.

With only a few minutes left in the game, it is actually possible that they want to score another goal to equalize the score, but Ajax's players did not show such fighting spirit.

However, Klopp frequently made substitutions. In the 90th minute, he replaced Gotze with forward Schiber, and in the 91st minute, he replaced Gundogan with Retner.

It took some time for two substitutions.

Although Frank DeBol replaced midfielder Sanaa with forward Soleimani in the 88th minute, it was useless.

In the end, referee Taliavento blew the whistle to the end of the game.

"The whole game ended! After a hard battle, I evaluated Zhou Yi's quasi-final kill in the 87th minute, Dortmund defeated Ajax 1:0 at home! It was a really difficult three-pointer!"

After the game, Zhou Yi accepted an interview with reporters in the mixed area.

When asked whether Dortmund's game was so difficult, it was related to despising his opponent.

Zhou Yi shook his head and denied it: "How is this possible? This is the death group. Every game in this group is difficult to play. It is normal to play hard, and it is right. We did not underestimate our opponents. Ajax is a strong team. The game is like this. It is a reflection of their strength."

Frank DeBol regretted the result at the post-match press conference: "I think a draw is fair, but this is football. We are no worse than Dortmund. If there must be a gap, I think we don't have Zhou Yi, this is the gap. Dortmund's last goal is a reflection of Zhou Yi's personal ability..."

Klopp also believes that it is good to be able to win at home, so there is no need to consider any goal difference: "This is the death group. In this group, no opponent is easy to deal with, and no game is easy to win. So I am very satisfied with being able to get three points. Goal difference? That's not something you should consider in this group."

There is a proof that it can prove the correctness of Zhou Yi and Klopp's views in another group match. Real Madrid faced the Champions League rookie Manchester City at its own home court, and finally only narrowly won 3:2.

Both sides played 0:0 in the first half, just like Dortmund.

The second half was played until the 69th minute before Manchester City broke the deadlock with Dzeko, and Manchester City actually led at Real Madrid's home court.

Real Madrid then made consecutive substitutions. Mourinho replaced two players in one breath in the 73rd minute, using all substitutions. Manchester City's side also replaced Macon with Sabaretta in the 74th minute, which was also the last substitution for Manchester City in this game.

In the 76th minute, Real Madrid equalized the score with Marcelo.

In the 85th minute, Kalarov took the lead for Manchester City again.

In the 87th minute, Benzema tied again for Real Madrid.

In the 90th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo finally made the Bernabeu excited and his goal at this time defeated Manchester City.

Like Dortmund's game, it's hard to solve, but it scored five goals in this game, so it looks better.

But the difficulty of the game is the same.

These two games are worthy of adjectives like "the most terrifying death group after 199".

The next game of the Champions League will be on October 3, Dortmund will challenge Manchester City away. After seeing Manchester City away against Real Madrid, no one will think that Dortmund's away trip is easy.

※※※

Perhaps it was because he spent too much energy in the Champions League, and Dortmund, who returned to the league, lost to Hamburg 2:3 away. Although Zhou Yi had an assist, it was useless.

However, after this game, Wagner, who has been injured, can finally practice with the team, which is good news.

If Dortmund fights on two fronts this season, if Wagner can make a comeback, it will definitely be a blessing for Dortmund.

In the fifth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Frankfurt away, and Dortmund finally defeated his opponent 3:2 away.

In the next sixth round of the league, Dortmund will face Borussia Mönchengladbach at home. After this game, the team will prepare for the second game of the Champions League group stage against Manchester City.

Klopp was rotated in this game, and many main players, including Zhou Yi, were unable to appear on the roster, or even on the roster.

Klopp planned to give up this league directly, but what surprised him was that Dortmund, who used a rotation lineup, beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-0 at his home court.

After playing this game, Dortmund devoted himself to preparing for Manchester City. During training, Klopp increased the proportion of Aut in training.

This is because in the Champions League, the passing speed is generally 15% faster than the Bundesliga. If you play the Champions League according to the Bundesliga habits, you will lose a lot. Aut can just increase the speed of players' passes and receiving. Last season, Dortmund was able to reach the semi-finals in the Champions League, which is related to Aut training.

But last season, Dortmund just used AUT to sharpen his guns. I don't expect that this season, they have been using AUT to train since the pre-season training.

Zhou Yi has greater advantages. He can not only conduct AUT training in reality, but also conduct upgraded AUT special training in dreams.

In addition, he can also fight with Manchester City in advance in the virtual space to experience the game.

Because he lost to Real Madrid 2:3 away in the first game, if Manchester City wants to qualify from this group, they must win this game against Dortmund so that they can take the initiative in the next schedule.

Even though it was a game in the virtual space, Zhou Yi could still feel the energy that Manchester City burst out at his home court.

In the virtual matches between Dortmund and Manchester City, Dortmund has always lost more than he wins.

However, there is no need for Dortmund to win one game. It is indeed not necessary to beat Manchester City away. If it can win, it is good, but if it cannot win, it is completely acceptable to win a draw. Just like Ajax originally hoped to draw Dortmund away.

In the death group, the draw is often the most cost-effective result, especially in away games.

After Dortmund finished his match with Borussia Mönchengladbach, he flew to Manchester the next day of the game. At this time, there were three days left before the mid-week Champions League match.

Why should I go there so early in advance?

Of course it is because you have to go through ahead and adapt to everything in Manchester, including the weather, diet and venue.

As for where the team will train, Dortmund has negotiated with Manchester United. Manchester United club allows Dortmund to use their Carrington training base for free in preparation for matches with Manchester City.

As a pair of four times in the same city, Manchester City's enemy is Manchester United's friend.

Of course, if Dortmund and Manchester United meet in the Champions League next time, then Manchester City will definitely be happy to lend the training base to Dortmund for use, even if they fight to the death in this Champions League group stage.

Moreover, Dortmund has a player deal with Manchester United this summer, and Shinji Kagawa went to Manchester United from Dortmund.

When Dortmund was training at the Carrington training base, Shinji Kagawa also came to Dortmund's training ground to chat with his former teammates and coaches and reminisce about the old relationship. Although he had some complaints about Dortmund's management due to the renewal of the contract, his relationship with his teammates and coaches was still very good.

Since Shinji Kagawa transferred to Manchester United, he has played four times in six league games, missed once and scored a goal.

This performance cannot be said to be very good, but it is not too bad. It can only be said to be average.

Of course, it is definitely not as eye-catching as his performance at Dortmund. In Dortmund's midfield and frontcourt, his role is very outstanding. But at Manchester United, he is more like a role player.

After seeing Shinji Kagawa, everyone asked if he was used to it at Manchester United.

"Apart from the weather, everything else is very accustomed to it." Kagawa Shinji said with a smile.

"Are you used to eating?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

"Don't blackmail British food, Zhou Sang." Shinji Kagawa knew what Zhou Yi was going to say. "Besides, Manchester is not without Japanese food stores, so you can still improve the food occasionally."

"You said you have improved. It seems that your usual food is not very good." Zhou Yi curled his lips.

Everyone laughed.

Shinji Kagawa has just left for a while, and his familiarity with Dortmund must be even more familiar with Manchester United than with Manchester United. No one thinks he is like an outsider.

This kind of intimacy is something Shinji Kagawa has not felt at Manchester United yet.

Compared with Dortmund's locker room, Manchester United's truly giant's locker room is more complicated. If you want to compare, Manchester United is a bit like Bayern Munich in the Premier League. It is a well-deserved overlord and the focus of everyone's attention. There are more superstars in the locker room than Dortmund, and it is normal for complex interpersonal relationships to be complex.

Finally, Shinji Kagawa and Klopp chatted alone for a while. Although Manchester United has not met Manchester City in the new season, the two teams are even next to the training bases. In the same city, there will always be various channels to learn about the opponent's news.

So Shinji Kagawa told Klopp all the information he learned about Manchester City, hoping to play a certain role in Klopp's tactical arrangements. (To be continued.)
