Chapter 116 - Chapter 117: A Preview of Klopp's Return to Dortmund

In the 65th minute, Werder Bremen took a corner kick from the left!

Gavis's shot deflected off Castro's foot and flew into the goal.

Werder Bremen have leveled the score at 1-1!

Less than 5 minutes had passed!

Öztunari broke past Sven Bender and crossed the ball!

Junuzovic scores!

Werder Bremen have taken the lead now, 2-1.

From taking the lead to falling behind, Dortmund's players are really anxious!

The gap in strength has finally become apparent!

In the 77th minute, Andy, facing multiple defenders, did not try to fight back but instead passed the ball to Schmelzer, who was making a run behind him!

The latter then crossed the ball!

Werder Bremen defender clears the ball!

But the ball didn't go far.

Shinji Kagawa made a run and scored!

2:2!

This match also marks Shinji Kagawa's 100th Bundesliga appearance!

That goal was absolutely the best gift!

Seeing that the score was tied, Tuchel waved his hand.

Reus and Schmelzer were substituted off.

Adrian Ramos and Pulisic are in action!

Andy has moved back to left-back on the field!

Two minutes later!

Mkhitaryan won a corner kick on the right and took it!

Ramos, having only touched the ball for the first time, leaped high and headed it into the net!

Borussia Dortmund pulled off an amazing comeback!

From then until the end of stoppage time, Werder Bremen did not create any better chances.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund came from behind to defeat their opponents 3-2 at home!

Mkhitaryan was named Man of the Match!

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich also finished their match against Eintracht Frankfurt.

In the last match, Lewandowski's penalty helped Bayern Munich secure a narrow 1-0 victory over Cologne.

It was Ribery's turn to shine again!

It was also 1-0.

Dortmund have only narrowed the gap by one goal.

In European competitions, Bayern Munich drew Porto as their opponent.

Not much pressure!

If both teams advance from the German Cup.

The most important trophy in the Bundesliga will be won by two teams!

It's hard to say whether it will be split equally or kept all by itself!

Whether it's the league or the cup, the people of Dortmund will temporarily forget about it!

Because that man is coming back!

Jürgen Klopp!

The die-hard supporters' union has begun preparations for Klopp's return to Westfalenstadion.

The giant tifo goes without saying!

Almost the entire city was filled with signs that read "Welcome home to Jürgen!"

This is the influence Klopp has at Borussia Dortmund!

He coached Borussia Dortmund for 7 seasons, helping the Black and Yellows win 2 league titles, 3 German Super Cups, and 1 German Cup!

In the 2012/13 season, he also led his team to eliminate Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals and reach the final.

The most intense and attacking final in Champions League history has been born!

It was because of this passionate period.

That's why the people of Dortmund will always be grateful to Klopp!

Before such a grand welcoming ceremony, one person remained remarkably clear-headed!

That's Tuchel!

As Klopp's successor, he is only one step away from continuing the glory and proving himself!

Therefore, Coach Tu paid special attention to the players' condition during the past two days of training!

Gündoğan's return to training has also boosted his confidence!

Of all the players, he showed particular concern for Andy, Park Joo-ho, and Pulisic!

Park Joo-ho is his old friend, so their relationship goes without saying.

Andy and Pulisic, on the other hand, were promoted by him as head coach and have remained so to this day.

The former has already set a record for the youngest player to join the Bundesliga!

The latter is also gradually developing and has a bright future!

In any case, Andy's achievements are Tuchel's achievements!

They share in each other's glory!

In the pre-match analysis meeting, Tuchel emphasized Liverpool's current form.

"Don't assume we'll have an advantage just because we're playing at home!"

"Although Liverpool are behind Tottenham in the league, their performance on the pitch will definitely be better than Tottenham's!"

"Jurgen knows you even better than his own players!"

"If we don't take our opponent seriously now, we will surely lose!"

After the main meeting, there will be a smaller meeting!

Tuchel gathered the backfield players together and emphasized Liverpool's attacking tactics.

"Although Benteke is injured, we still have Origi, Firmino, Sturridge."

"Even if you don't choose a high ball, long-range shots are still threatening!"

"If Benteke starts, your job might be a little easier."

(Benteke: Why are you swearing at me?)

After the meeting, Tuchel specifically called Andy to his side.

"Andy, I don't want to see you doing extra training these next few days."

"For you, the most important thing is to maintain your physical strength; everything else is secondary."

"You are an important part of my team!"

Andy nodded, making his promise.

"Understood, boss!"

"I will definitely maintain my best form before eliminating Liverpool!"

Tuchel nodded in satisfaction.

If Andy can be the one to deliver the final blow, then that will silence the voices that question him.

This is absolutely a game-changing attack!

The press conference for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on April 7.

Tuchel arrived right on time!

First, let's respond to the news of Klopp's return to Dortmund.

"Klopp will receive a warm welcome from us, nothing else will happen, and no one will forget his contributions here."

"However, once the match begins, both sides will fight for victory with all their might."

"It is precisely because of the work Klopp did at Dortmund that Dortmund has been successful this season."

"Similarly, Liverpool has improved significantly; their individual abilities are very strong, making this match very difficult."

His statement earned him applause from the media present.

In a sense, this is similar to "talking to your ex"."Nothing's different."

On the Liverpool side, Klopp also made a statement with high emotional intelligence.

"We don't have any players who can go one-on-one against Mkhitaryan or Aubameyang."

"Dortmund plays a very beautiful style of football, and they focus on attacking."

"We are not unaware of what Dortmund can do, but we are also prepared."

Klopp also has his own thoughts on the two teams being considered title favorites.

"I don't think we're the favorites to win!"

"We have to get past Dortmund first before we can even think about this."

"We will cause Dortmund as much trouble as possible tomorrow; that will be the real challenge."

In addition, Klopp also mentioned Andy!

"I left nine months ago and I'm back now.Dortmund has changed a lot."

"Some of the young players performed exceptionally well, which surprised me."

Upon hearing this, a reporter immediately stepped forward.

"What do you think of Andy's performance?After all, youth training is closely related to you!"

Klopp responded with a smile, as if joking:

"Andy's performance is bound to attract the attention of other teams."

"If I have any credit for this, then of course I should do it—take him away!"

"But in fact, it is no one's credit."
