Chapter 68 - Chapter 69 There are no absolutely dominant teams! That's football!

Goal!

Lucky zigzag ball!

Borussia Dortmund are leading 2-0 away from home!

A strong sense of honor welled up in my heart!

Andy stood still, arms outstretched!

He then casually patted the dust off his left leg.

The hem of my clothes is slightly dirty!

His teammates ran up to him and celebrated together!

"Kid, you're pretty good!"

"Hehe, once you're past the halfway line, you're in my shooting range!"

Tuchel celebrates with clenched fists on the sidelines!

With a two-goal lead at halftime, the three points are practically secured!

The substitutes on the bench all hugged each other!

Who doesn't want to deliver a satisfactory report card before the holiday?

This is similar to students' final exams!

At halftime, the Dortmund players returned to the locker room with joy.

After being informed by the staff, Andy confirmed that the goal was ultimately credited to him.

I'm so happy!

This performance can be considered perfect!

The situation with the home team is unknown, but Tuchel seems to be getting a bit cocky.

They substituted two players right after returning to the field in the second half!

Schmelzer and Sven Bender replaced Park Joo-ho and Hummels.

The captain's armband was transferred to Schmelzer, who has recovered from injury!

In the 48th minute of the match, Cologne took a corner kick from the left!

In the chaos, Svento received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and volleyed it with his left foot, but it went just wide of the far post.

Dortmund then once again took control of the game's tempo.

In the 55th minute, Mkhitaryan played a through ball, and Ginter, who had made a run down the right flank, crossed the ball from the byline!

Shinji Kagawa's header from close range went wide of the far post.

Four minutes later, Andy played a through ball!

Shinji Kagawa made a cross, and Gündoğan's low shot from the middle went just wide of the near post.

It's worth mentioning that Aubameyang's performance today was quite mediocre.

He is always being defended by at least two opposing players!

This made him very upset.

After 65 minutes, Andy was substituted off by Tuchel.

Weigl came on as a substitute!

Even though Andy repeatedly emphasized that his body was perfectly capable of continuing the game, Tuchel maintained the same view as the team doctor!

It's clear that the head coach is preparing to focus on defense.

I want to secure three points and then leave the game safely.

But it was precisely this decision that allowed Cologne to seize the opportunity!

In the 67th minute of the match, Cologne crossed from the left wing!

Zoller controlled the ball at the far post, turned, and shot, but Bender deflected it and the ball went over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Gerhardt, who had been sealed off by Andy, dribbled the ball straight in!

A powerful left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area was parried by Bürki and hit the post before going out of play!

At this moment, the situation on the field has undergone a subtle change!

Although Dortmund subsequently launched a counterattack.

Hofmann and Mkhitaryan combined with a one-two before Hofmann broke into the penalty area, but his beautiful dribble and shot were blocked by a defender who went down to the ground.

But Cologne's morale has improved!

83rd minute!

Bürki fumbled the ball in the six-yard box!

Cologne striker Zoller received the ball, adjusted his position, and unleashed a powerful shot that found the back of the net!

1:2!

The home team has pulled one back!

After the restart, Cologne's defense became even more aggressive!

For a time, Dortmund was unable to launch attacks or defend effectively.

Football, sometimes it's just that magical!

89th minute!

Cologne played a textbook teamwork game!

Substitute Modric controlled the ball and dribbled past his marker in the attacking third!

The ball has been moved to the left wing!

The attack failed!

Center-back Frederick, making a late run into the box, chipped the ball into the penalty area!

Modes leaped high into the air!

A header!

Burki was powerless to reverse the situation!

Cologne has equalized!

The roar of the home team's fans in the stadium was deafening!

Andy, who was already sitting on the bench, was dumbfounded!

Ah.this!

Are you kidding me?

So that's how tonics work!

The match has entered stoppage time!

Cologne is still on the attack!

Goalkeeper Bürki was clearly flustered!

Many shots that could have been saved were blocked out of bounds.

The continuous corner kick attacks made everyone on the Dortmund bench tremble with fear!

At this point, it's no longer a question of whether or not you can get points!

You might not even get a single point!

Fortunately, the players on the field withstood the pressure in the end.

With the final whistle, the match ended in a draw!

The Cologne players all wore expressions of regret.

Dortmund, on the other hand, survived a disaster!

Head coach Tuchel looked ashen-faced!

Because Bayern Munich, whose match had already concluded, narrowly defeated Hannover 96 1-0 on penalties.

The gap between the two sides has now reached 7 points!

Judging from Bayern's overall form, the league season is going to be tough.

Fans in the live stream lingered, bombarding Tuchel and Bürki with criticism:

[How could they not save a shot like that?They really need to bring Weidenfeller back!]

[That damn Tuchel!What kind of substitution is this?]

[Andy plays so well, why is he always substituted early?]

[Bürki's maturity requires lessons, and those lessons mean he can forget about the league this season.Hopefully, he'll do well in the Europa League.]

[Actually, it's not entirely anyone's fault; I think Tuchel underestimated his opponent.]

[It was more than just underestimating the opponent!Despite dominating the game, they immediately substituted two defenders, then even took off their key defensive player, Andy.Once the opponent unleashed their fury, they had no chance to react!]

[Unable to break through defenses, forced into numerous errors, and conceded a last-minute equalizer – sigh, the most tragic loss of the season!]

[Keep it up, Andy played exceptionally well, Aubameyang was completely outplayed today.]

[Aubameyang is on the field??]

Bayern Munich and their underdogs have maintained their composure and essentially secured the league title.

At the post-match press conference, Tuchel was surrounded by reporters.

Although he explained that the substitutions were made for the players' health.

But the reporterStill relentlessly.

On the other side, the Cologne coach seemed a little unsatisfied!

"We could have gotten three points, but that's football; we'll continue to work hard."

However, after returning from the winter break.

They handed Bayern Munich a resounding victory at home.

On the way back, Tuchel apologized to all the team members on the bus.

This is extremely rare for a head coach!

Since the leaders have taken the initiative to admit their mistakes, the players don't dare to argue any further.

Andy looked at the dejected Aubameyang and couldn't help but feel pity.

In the post-match media ratings, Pleasant Goat only received 6 points!

This is absolutely a failing grade for a striker.

Hopefully he can get some rest during the winter break!

Upon arrival at the training base, sports manager Zorc announced the plans for the friendly match to everyone.

Starting January 12th, Borussia Dortmund will play three matches.

They will face Eintracht Frankfurt, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, and Sparta Bugras!

For players, the 30-day winter break allows them to get sufficient rest and adjustment, and to spend Christmas and New Year with their families.

Bundesliga teams will choose different locations for their training camps!

Countries and regions with plenty of sunshine and warm climates, such as Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the United States, are preferred to avoid Germany's cold weather and conduct training in a more suitable manner.

For football fans, the winter break is a period of both anticipation and agonizing wait.

The expectation stems from the fact that the team will take advantage of the transfer window to make adjustments, bringing in or sending away some players.

The agony is the long, drawn-out wait for the Bundesliga to resume.

According to the club's schedule, Andy has also entered his period of seclusion for trainin ng
