The German national team ultimately drew 3-3 with Uruguay in Leverkusen. After the match, the German national team was fiercely bombarded by Dortmund media.

"...I don't understand what's the point of Löw insisting on letting Gündoğan play? Now look, Gündoğan was substituted off after only twenty-seven minutes because his old injury relapsed! It's simply incomprehensible! Bayern Munich players can skip national team matches because of childbirth, while Dortmund players, even if injured, have to start and persist in playing a meaningless friendly!"

"We always say that the national team should protect the club's players because they are mutual assets, but I only see the national team overusing the club's players. And if a player gets injured in a club match, the club often has to face criticism... What happened in Leverkusen yesterday was truly ugly!"

"Now I understand what the media meant before the season when they said Dortmund wouldn't be able to win the championship again this season..."

Gündoğan's injury made the Dortmund media particularly angry, and they even brought up conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories are of course nonsense, but this also shows how angry the people of Dortmund are now.

If this were an important World Cup qualifier, they might have accepted Gündoğan's injury while playing for the country.

But now it is just an ordinary warm-up match with Paraguay, not even a formal match, and Gündoğan was injured for this, which inevitably makes people feel that it is not worth it.

Moreover, this happened after the Dortmund media repeatedly advised the national team, which makes the Dortmund people feel even more unable to forgive easily.

After the match, when Löw, as the head coach of the national team, was interviewed, he was already asked about Gündoğan's issue by the angry Dortmund reporters: "What made you insist on sending Gündoğan, who was already injured, onto the field? Didn't you know he was injured in the match against Augsburg?"

Löw could only say: "We assessed his physical condition, and we believed he could play. The injury is indeed unfortunate, but that doesn't mean we intentionally wanted the player to get injured. No one wants to see this..."

Löw's answer, of course, could not satisfy the people of Dortmund.

This time, Gündoğan's injury reminded people of Mark Wagner's serious injury before. A rising superstar suffered the most serious injury of his career after participating in a national team match. And that injury also brought a turning point to Mark's career. Since then, he has never recovered to the state he was in before the injury.

For a national team match, Dortmund lost a star of hope.

Now, for the sake of the national team's match, Dortmund has lost another midfielder.

How could the people of Dortmund be happy?

After Götze and Lewandowski left, Gündoğan performed well in the new season, which could give Dortmund fans some psychological comfort.

Who would have thought that Gündoğan, who was just in excellent form, would be injured in a national team match? No one knows how long he will be out, and what if the injury is serious?

It was clearly a national team match, so why should the club pay the bill in the end?

Many Dortmund fans were unhappy.

A day later, the Dortmund club officially issued an announcement stating that after Dr. Braun, the head of the team's medical team, examined Gündoğan's injury, he believed that he might have to rest for two weeks.

After this announcement came out, many Dortmund supporters breathed a sigh of relief. Two weeks, that's good.

Because Klopp originally planned to arrange for Gündoğan to rest in the match against promoted team Eintracht Braunschweig this weekend. After all, he was injured in the first round of the match, and it was normal to rest. Unfortunately, the club arranged for him to rest, but the national team did not let him rest, so in the national team match, the injury worsened...

After Gündoğan's injury, Nuri Şahin and Sven Bender should be the two players to form the defensive midfielder position. And it is still uncertain whether Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a new signing who has been resting for four weeks due to an ankle injury, will be able to make his debut in Saturday's match.

The season has just begun, and people have been added to the injury list one after another, which is not a good sign.

Everyone knows that injuries are the most likely enemy to defeat Dortmund.

When Bayern Munich can't do anything about Dortmund, only injuries can stop them...

Two days after the national team match, the second round of the league began.

So how could the Dortmund media not complain about the national team? With such a dense schedule and not letting Gündoğan rest, everyone really couldn't think of any other answer besides conspiracy theories.

The German media paid close attention to Gündoğan's injury, but the Chinese media did not pay so much attention. They just followed up a little, and they still cared more about their own players.

In the second round of the league, Guardiola's Bayern Munich narrowly defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 away. Hertha Berlin was forced to a 2-2 draw by Nuremberg away.

As long as Dortmund can win, they can become the top of the league.

On the afternoon of August 18, Dortmund welcomed promoted team Eintracht Braunschweig at home.

Logically speaking, this is not a very strong opponent, and Dortmund, who is playing at home, should easily defeat them.

But the fact is that after the game started for a long time, Dortmund couldn't score.

Eintracht Braunschweig was very tenacious. The tactics they chose away from home were also very appropriate. They shrank back across the board to defend, not giving Dortmund too much space and time in the thirty-meter area. In addition, their desperate style made it difficult for Dortmund's players to control the ball well, and naturally it was also difficult to organize effective attacks.

After the first half, Dortmund had eleven shots, but no goals.

Eintracht Braunschweig defended with all their strength, so naturally they had no way to attack, so they didn't score either.

0:0.

"...This score is really a bit surprising. Before the game, many people would never have imagined that forty-five minutes had passed, and Dortmund had not broken through the goal of Eintracht Braunschweig, this promoted team..."

Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich 4-2 in the Super Cup, and defeated Augsburg 4-0 in the first round of the league. Dortmund seemed to prove how fierce their attacking firepower was with practical actions.

But when facing Eintracht Braunschweig, Dortmund's attackers collectively misfired.

During the half-time break, Klopp criticized the players' performance. In his opinion, the failure to open up the situation against Eintracht Braunschweig's dense defense was not a tactical problem, but a problem with the players' ideological attitude.

To put it bluntly, they didn't pay enough attention to their opponents and were a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Dortmund's state has indeed been good during this period. Before the Super Cup, they were not favored, but the Super Cup played a beautiful game, defeating Bayern Munich 4-2, slapping the faces of those who didn't favor them, but at the same time, it also made Dortmund's players' confidence explode, to the point of being a little arrogant.

In the first round of the league, they played very well against Augsburg, who was not very strong, winning 4-0, leaving the opponent no chance at all. In that game, Dortmund's players performed well from beginning to end, and each player's post-match average score was not lower than three points, and the worst was three points.

This game's performance deepened the players' arrogance. They thought that when they returned to the home court to face promoted team Eintracht Braunschweig, what could they not win?

The only suspense was not how many goals they would win, but how many goals each of them could score...

This kind of thinking was too arrogant. Dortmund's players didn't study this opponent well at all. What the coach said didn't go into their minds at all. Anyway, they could win by kicking around on the field, so what's the point of wasting effort?

Of course, it wasn't that there were no players who performed normally. Zhou Yi was the player that Klopp didn't criticize. The reason why he didn't underestimate the enemy was because he had already seen the various situations that might occur in the virtual game. In the virtual world, the virtual Eintracht Braunschweig and the virtual Dortmund played many games, and they would almost always adopt a dense defense tactic in every game, because this was an away game, and their strength was not as good as Dortmund, so only a fool would choose to attack Dortmund head-on.

But it was useless for Zhou Yi to perform normally alone. The balls he sent to his teammates would always be carelessly wasted by his teammates.

Zhou Yi was also very helpless about this, but he rarely, or almost never, publicly criticized his teammates in the game, so he didn't say anything.

At the same time, in the Eintracht Braunschweig's locker room, head coach Torsten Lieberknecht was clapping his hands to encourage his players: "Good job, lads! You did a great job in the first half! Continue to do so in the second half! Of course, we are not as good as Dortmund in terms of strength, but we have the fighting spirit and fighting spirit that they don't have! I believe that with these, we can completely create a miracle in the Westfalenstadion!"

These words made the young and simple Eintracht Braunschweig's players even more excited, high-spirited and full of confidence.

Looking at the players, Lieberknecht nodded with satisfaction. This was the state he wanted. He didn't think about taking a victory back from this game. He was very satisfied with being able to force a draw with Dortmund away from home. If they could force a draw with Dortmund, it would be a very significant boost to the team's confidence. On the road to the team's relegation, confidence is very important.
