When the Borussia Dortmund players walked into the Allianz Arena, they were greeted by thunderous cheers.

But these cheers were not for them, of course, but for the Bayern Munich players beside them.

Bayern Munich fans were using this method to put pressure on the Borussia Dortmund players, letting them know whose territory they were on.

In fact, when the starting lineups of both sides were announced earlier, the Borussia Dortmund players had already felt the "enthusiasm" of the Bayern Munich fans.

This was nothing new for the Borussia Dortmund players. Now, entering the Allianz Arena, they would probably feel uncomfortable if they didn't hear the sounds made by the opposing fans.

Before the players of both teams stepped onto the field, the head coaches of the two teams had already shaken hands on the sidelines.

This was not the first time Klopp and Guardiola had faced each other. Not counting the first round of this season, this wasn't even the first time they'd met.

As early as the 2011-2012 Champions League season, Klopp and Guardiola had already crossed swords.

"...Klopp has actually remained unbeaten in the three matches he has played against Guardiola, which is something that few coaches in the world of football can achieve..." Marcel Reif introduced to everyone. "Let's not talk about the first match between the two sides this season. The situation was terrible, but Borussia Dortmund managed to draw 3-3 with Guardiola's Bayern Munich at home. In the 2011-2012 Champions League, Klopp also had a record of playing against Guardiola. At that time, Borussia Dortmund tied Barcelona 0-0 at home, and Barcelona was tied 2-2 by Borussia Dortmund after returning to their home stadium, and as a result, they were eliminated because they did not have an advantage in away goals..."

"So you can't say that Klopp has never lost to Guardiola, you have to say that Guardiola has never won against Klopp until now... In addition, in the history of Bundesliga clashes between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, although Bayern Munich has the upper hand with thirty-eight wins, twenty-nine draws and twenty-two losses, in recent years, Borussia Dortmund has completely suppressed Bayern Munich. Starting from the 2010-2011 season, the two teams have played against each other seven times in the league, with Borussia Dortmund maintaining an unbeaten record of five wins and two draws. Which team can do this when facing the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich? There is no second team besides Borussia Dortmund."

It would be fine if this history wasn't reviewed, but a review can be really shocking - everyone knows that Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have been a pair of bitter rivals in recent years, with Borussia Dortmund winning the Bundesliga title for three consecutive seasons, but Bayern Munich has also performed very well. The two teams should have won and lost against each other, right?

Actually, that's not the case. Looking at the statistics, Borussia Dortmund actually has a complete upper hand, and can be said to have "dominated" Bayern Munich.

In the 2010-2011 season, Borussia Dortmund won 2-0 at home and 3-1 away, defeating Bayern Munich twice.

In the 2011-2012 season, Borussia Dortmund used two 1-0 victories to defeat Bayern Munich twice again.

In the 2012-2013 season, Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 away and defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 at home. This 2-1 victory was particularly crucial, as it was this victory that allowed Borussia Dortmund to surpass Bayern Munich, who had been leading for a season, on the standings, and then they did not come down from there until the end of the season.

The situation is very similar to this season.

This season, the first match between the two sides was in the thirteenth round of the league. At that time, Borussia Dortmund was in a very bad situation, with many main players injured and almost the entire defense line destroyed. Although they were playing at home, no one was optimistic about them. The result of the match was no longer in doubt, and the only suspense was how many goals Bayern Munich could win away from home.

As a result, the entire Borussia Dortmund team was like they had been injected with chicken blood. They fought with their backs to the wall and stubbornly tied Bayern Munich 3-3 at home.

It was also that draw that made the championship battle this season so intense, and it still remains suspenseful until now.

It's not to say that the one point from that draw can determine the league champion. The significance of that match for Borussia Dortmund was that it allowed them to regain their confidence when they were at their lowest point - we don't even have a complete defense line, and we are full of injured soldiers, but despite this, we can still maintain an unbeaten record against Bayern Munich, so what is there to be afraid of and worried about?

Once this idea is planted as a seed in the hearts of the Borussia Dortmund players, it may sprout as long as it encounters a suitable opportunity.

Originally, this Borussia Dortmund team had maintained an unbeaten record against Bayern Munich for three consecutive seasons before, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Borussia Dortmund has a psychological advantage when facing Bayern Munich.

As mentioned before, almost no team in the Bundesliga this season has not collapsed after sparring with Bayern Munich for sixty minutes.

Why emphasize "almost"?

Because before Hoffenheim tied Bayern Munich in the league round before last, only Borussia Dortmund had done it.

Before the first match between the two sides this season, Borussia Dortmund's confidence and morale had fallen to the bottom. That period was very difficult for Borussia Dortmund, and they heard predictions of Borussia Dortmund's imminent collapse every day, as well as various confident voices that were not optimistic about them.

But after half a season of fighting, the situation is completely different.

Although Borussia Dortmund is still plagued by injuries, the team's morale and confidence are completely different from what they were at the beginning.

They just eliminated Paris Saint-Germain and entered the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons.

They have gone from falling behind Bayern Munich in the league to catching up to only two points behind, making Bayern Munich embarrassed. In the league round before last, they were even tied by Hoffenheim at home, ending Bayern Munich's winning streak at home this season.

Klopp really has a way to deal with Bayern Munich, and he also has a way to deal with Guardiola.

So Klopp and Bayern Munich combined, Klopp has a way to deal with them.

Everyone is also very curious about how he will deal with Bayern Munich and Guardiola this time in this crucial match.

※※※

After Klopp shook hands with Guardiola, he returned to his position. If he could know how everyone was commenting on him, he would definitely have a different opinion - it's not that I have a way to deal with Guardiola and Bayern Munich, it's that Zhou Yi has a way to deal with them...

Every time Bayern Munich's good deeds are ruined, it's basically Zhou Yi. Either Zhou Yi delivers a key assist, or he personally takes the field to score a goal.

Especially last season, Zhou Yi's performance against Bayern Munich was simply amazing.

He scored a last-minute goal in the league to help Borussia Dortmund regain the top spot in the league.

In the Champions League final, it was also Zhou Yi's last-minute goal that helped Borussia Dortmund defeat Bayern Munich and win the Champions League title for the second time in history.

It can be said that Zhou Yi played a very important role in Borussia Dortmund's ability to become a double champion last season.

The TV broadcast is actually very clear about this, so when the players from both sides entered the field, Zhou Yi's close-up shots were the longest among the Borussia Dortmund players.

Of course, when the starting lineups of both sides were announced before the match, Zhou Yi received the most boos among the Borussia Dortmund players.

On the one hand, it is because Zhou Yi has continuously opposed Bayern Munich for so many years and can be called a true "Bayern Munich nemesis", making Bayern Munich fans both hate and fear him.

On the other hand, of course, it is because of Zhou Yi's "arrogant remarks" before the match. The match hasn't even started yet, and he has already determined that Borussia Dortmund is the winner, which makes Bayern Munich fans very unhappy.

Zhou Yi's kind of arrogance is not as direct as Grosskreutz's. His "arrogance" is very hidden, but in a sense, he is even more arrogant than Grosskreutz's kind of bluffing "arrogance", because not taking you seriously in a nonchalant manner makes people feel more despised and more annoying.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich did not hold back in this match, and sent out all their main players. After all, there is nothing to hold back, and it is basically the final battle of the league. Whoever wins is the champion. If you still have to hold back at this time, I don't know what you are holding back for.

The premise of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger is to eat the tiger. If you are eaten by the tiger instead, then you will become a real pig.

After all the necessary pre-match procedures were carried out, the match officially began.

Because this match is so important, both sides did not play very aggressively after the start of the match, but were very cautious.

It wasn't until the tenth minute that there were some changes in the match.

In the tenth minute, Borussia Dortmund organized an attack in the frontcourt. Zhou Yi passed the ball to Aubameyang, and Aubameyang gave full play to his speed advantage. It looked like he was about to use his speed to force a breakthrough against Bayern Munich's starting center back, Martinez.

Helplessly, Martinez had to reach out and pull Aubameyang, stopping Borussia Dortmund's fast attack.

But his foul also earned him a yellow card just ten minutes after the start of the match!

"Martinez's foul..." Marcel Reif sighed. "His turning around is really slow in front of Aubameyang. If there is any weakness in Bayern Munich's lineup in this match, I think the center back combination of Martinez and Dante must be... Now it's only ten minutes into the match, and as a center back, he already has a yellow card. How are they going to play the next match?"

Guardiola on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied with this yellow card, but he was not dissatisfied with Martinez's foul, but with the referee of this match, Felix Zwayer. He believed that the first foul by a Bayern Munich player at the beginning of the match was actually directly shown a yellow card, which was really not in line with normal procedures...

After all, this is Bayern Munich's home stadium. Even if there is a foul, shouldn't there be a verbal warning first? How can you show the home team's center back a yellow card as soon as you come up?

If this wasn't really a match in the Allianz Arena, he would even have thought that this was Borussia Dortmund's home stadium.
