317: Europa League semi-final opponents

The game is over. Munich 1860 defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 at home and scored three points.

Meanwhile, Dortmund's game was over.

Dortmund unexpectedly lost to goalkeeper Gladbach 0-1 away from home.

This surprised many people.

At such a critical moment, the Dortmund people made a mistake themselves. Don't they want to win the Bundesliga title this season? How could a mistake happen at this time?

Dortmund fans couldn't accept it. .??.

After the game, Klopp took all the responsibility for the loss on himself at the post-match press conference. He said, "I'm very sorry to my fans. We should have won this game. And we also had a chance to win during the game. Unfortunately, it was because of me. My tactical layout was relatively conservative. I was too I want to be stable, but I want to win but I am afraid of losing. Therefore, this affects my players and my judgment. I am really sorry for everyone. The loss in this game also made me realize my problem. , so please rest assured that we in Dortmund will not have the same problem again in the following games."

At this time, Klopp was right to do this.

The players must be relieved.

If the players are allowed to bear so much pressure to play in the next league, something will definitely happen. Moreover, Dortmund's players are mainly young players. Putting so much pressure on them at this time is likely to crush them.

Klopp must step up and take overall responsibility.

Klopp continued, "Moreover, losing this game is not the end of the world. Although there are only three rounds left, I think we still have a chance. At least in the last round, we will face Munich 1860. We still have a chance to overtake. And I also believe in my players, they will definitely be able to defeat Munich 1860."

Yes, the reason Klopp is not panicking now is because in the last round of the league, Dortmund will face off against 1860 Munich. As long as they can win that game, they can reverse it.

Now, Klopp is pinning all his hopes on this duel.

Of course, the premise is that Dortmund cannot lose in the next few rounds.

If they make another mistake, Dortmund will really fall short this season.

Now, the pressure on Klopp is very high.

However, Klopp acted very calmly and calmly at this time, and he spoke slowly and steadily, very steadily. This left a very deep impression on the media reporters at the scene, and of course gave a boost to the Dortmund players.

Dortmund's young players are no longer as panicked and at a loss as they were when they lost.

They also all know that Klopp is right, they Dortmund still have a chance. As long as they win the battle with Munich 1860 in the last round of the league, the Bundesliga championship this season will still be theirs.

Dortmund's players came back with confidence.

Klopp is such a good coach.

And at this time, his speech was also full of passion and confidence, which infected the Dortmund players and fans. So what if they fall behind now? They have a chance to reverse it, and they themselves think the chance is great.

After seeing Klopp's post-match interview, Tong Yi nodded slightly. He finally understood why Klopp was able to succeed. Because he is always full of passion and positive energy, and he can also infect his players...

Looking at Klopp, Tong Yi didn't feel proud or relaxed at all.

He knows that Klopp has the ability to create miracles. Moreover, this Dortmund club is also very strong, and their players can also create miracles.

So, the real showdown has just begun.

After the game, Tong Yi said at the press conference, "Yes, Dortmund's loss was beyond my expectation. I thought they would win easily. But we all know the result. What I want to say is, It is difficult for any relegation team to play. They can always burst out with amazing energy at the end of the league. Dortmund's loss is actually reasonable."

The media reporters nodded one after another, this is indeed the case.

Every time it comes to the end of the league, there will always be a lot of upsets. Which teams that are relegated are able to explode into the championship and shock everyone.

If these teams show such strength from the beginning, they will really be a championship contending team.

Tong Yi continued, "Although we are ahead of Dortmund now, we cannot relax yet. Both Dortmund and Jurgen can create miracles. If we are careless at this time, it will obviously be us who swallow the bitter pill in the end." .Leading is not important, the most important thing is to lead until the end.”

After a pause, Tong Yi added, "Now, we have not won the league championship, so what right do we have to underestimate our opponents? Next, we must go all out. Otherwise, we will have problems. And We now have the distraction of the UEFA Cup, and our burden is heavier. So, we must be cautious!"

The media reporters were all very surprised. This guy Tong Yi didn't look like a young man at all.

At this time, young and energetic people should not shout too much

That's bullshit. Isn't the league title already within our grasp at Munich 1860? Why is this guy so sensible, cautious and humble?

This guy is acting very mature.

At this time, it is difficult for media reporters to judge who can win the Bundesliga championship this season. After all, these two head coaches are very good, and it is possible for either one to win the championship.

However, media reporters are still more optimistic about Dortmund.

First, Klopp is a native of Germany, so they naturally support their compatriots.

Secondly, although Klopp is also very young, he is still more experienced and mature than Tong Yi. At critical moments, Klopp should perform better than Tong Yi.

Thirdly, Munich 1860 is still distracted by the Europa League. After all, the Europa League has reached the semi-final stage and is equally important. Perhaps even more important than the league, 1860 Munich will certainly be a distraction. And Dortmund only has the league. If they devote themselves wholeheartedly, Dortmund will naturally have the advantage.

Therefore, media reporters and fans are more optimistic about Dortmund.

Munich 1860 will definitely go all out in the Europa League. ??

In this way, the players of Munich 1860 will consume more physical energy and energy, which is not good for them.

At this time, Munich 1860 had already reached the semi-finals of the 2010-2011 Europa League. Their opponent was Sporting Braga from the Portuguese Super League.

To be honest, this team is not actually a traditional strong team in Portugal. They have not even won the Portuguese Super League championship. Their best result in the Portuguese Super League was the runner-up in the Portuguese Super League last season, and this season, they are currently ranked third in the Portuguese Super League.

However, Braga lost hope of winning the title early on.

Because Porto is really abnormal this season, and their results are amazing.

Porto, under the leadership of young coach Villas-Boas, achieved an astonishing unbeaten record of 25 wins and 2 draws in 27 rounds. After the 25th round of the league, they won the 20102011 Portuguese Super League championship 5 rounds ahead of schedule.

At present, 27 rounds of the Portuguese Super League have ended. Porto has 77 points, ranking first; Benfica has 58 points, ranking second in the league with a difference of 19 points; and Braga has 44 points, ranking 33 points behind the league. third.

This shows how terrifying Porto led by Villas-Boas, who is only 33 years old, is.

Braga lost the chance to compete for the league championship early, and even lost the chance to finish second in the league.

So, at this time

At this time, Braga put all its attention on the Europa League. In this case, Braga going all out will definitely delay the pace of Munich 1860. Braga will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Munich 1860. This is Dortmund's opportunity.

When Sporting Braga head coach Paciencia was interviewed by media reporters at this time, he said, "We gave up on the league early because we had a giant that we couldn't beat in the league. So. , we put all our attention into the Europa League. We hope to go to the end of the Europa League and win the championship."

Paciencia is really impressed by Porto this season.

Paciencia played for Porto twice as a player, and also coached the Porto B team. More importantly, he was the idol of the young Villas-Boas. Now, he is very pleased to see Villas-Boas leading Porto to achieve such good results.

He said, "Porto has been very successful this season, and Luis is also very good. They are invincible in Portugal this season. But in the Europa League, not necessarily! We have a chance in Braga, and our goal is the Europa League." Cup champion!”

These words made the German media reporters very dissatisfied. You mean that you don't take Munich 1860 seriously, as you have already reached the Europa League final.

They all think that Paciencia is a bit pretentious, and Braga is actually not very strong. Look at your results and data in the league. What reason do you have to be so crazy? Do you look down on Munich 1860 so much? Munich 1860 is currently at the top of the Bundesliga and has reached the final of the German Cup. Such a team is no worse than Porto, right? How dare you ignore them like this?

Too arrogant, too arrogant!

Yes, Porto's results this season have been amazing. But Porto didn't win half the game, right? Porto had 13 wins and 2 draws in the first half of the season. Our Munich 1860 maintained a complete victory in the Bundesliga in the middle half of the season and never lost a game.

You can't even handle Porto, how can you possibly handle our Munich 1860?

joke!

German media reporters all feel that Braga's head coach is really too arrogant. Braga will definitely suffer in this game. There is no way they can defeat Munich 1860. The one who will advance to the Europa League final will definitely be Munich 1860.

At this time, Paciencia led the players of Sporting Braga to Germany and to Munich. They are here to participate in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final against 1860 Munich, and they are playing away from home.

At this time, Tong Yi was also fully prepared to face Sporting Braga from the Portuguese Super League.
