Chapter 688: The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits
Four minutes into the second half, Schweinsteiger made a late run, received a cross from the left, and shot into Dortmund's goal, giving Bayern another goal, 4-0! After that, Bayern completely controlled the situation on the field, and the physical fitness of Dortmund players declined significantly.
In the 65th minute, Su Dong passed the ball back in the penalty area, and Ribery broke into the penalty area from the left side and shot low, scoring another goal for Bayern.
Five to zero! After the five-goal victory, Heynckes made decisive substitutions.
Su Dong was replaced by Klose and the team's formation also changed, from the original 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1. Thomas Muller came on as a substitute and roamed around behind Klose.
As a result, this substitution greatly activated Thomas Muller, allowing the young player to score two goals in a row.
In the end, Bayern beat Dortmund 7-0 away from home.
…
Bayern Munich defeated the Hornets away from home, and this battle showed their momentum.
Because of this crushing defeat, Dortmund's league ranking dropped directly to 14th place, and Klopp's position as coach began to be in crisis. After all, Dortmund was only one point away from the relegation zone.
This summer, the Hornets have made a lot of signings, but judging from the record of only winning one game in the first five rounds, it is indeed unsatisfactory, especially this round, where they lost 7-0 to Bayern at home, which made Dortmund lose face.
After the game, Klopp publicly praised Su Dong, believing that it was Su Dong's hat trick in the first half that completely defeated Dortmund, which led to a tragic defeat, but Klopp also said that he was still full of confidence in Dortmund.
"I firmly believe that this season's strength is better than last season and we will definitely be able to achieve satisfactory results."
No one will question this. The real suspense is, if Dortmund's performance does not improve, can Klopp stay as coach until the team's performance improves?
The answer is hard to say.
…
After five rounds of matches, Bayern is far ahead, followed by Hamburg, Leverkusen, Schalke 04 and other teams.
Werder Bremen's results are not very ideal, but the teams with the biggest decline in results are Wolfsburg and Stuttgart.
Among them, Wolfsburg had two wins and three losses in the first five rounds, while Stuttgart had one win, two draws and two losses.
It can be said that such a start is somewhat disappointing, after all, these two teams are both strong teams in the Bundesliga.
What’s more interesting is that after Cologne Prince Podolski transferred to Cologne, he only scored one goal in the first five rounds and his performance did not improve very well. After spending tens of millions of euros to introduce Podolski, his Cologne team is currently ranked at the bottom of the Bundesliga.
After only five rounds, the current rankings and results do not mean anything, but everyone knows that if the start is not good, it will be very unfavorable for the subsequent situation.

In the middle of the week, in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern will challenge Zurich away.
Su Dong's luck was recognized by the Bayern locker room.
This is the second of seven games in twenty-one days. If Bayern goes on a long journey, it will have a huge impact on them, especially in terms of physical energy consumption.
Everyone knows that the most terrifying thing about an away game is not the game, but the exhaustion during the journey.
When playing against Zurich, Bayern set out in the morning of the game and returned after the game in the evening.
On the road, Bayern easily defeated Zurich 5-0 without any bloodshed.
Su Dong scored a goal in each half, and opened the scoring in the first half, with Ribery, Robben and Toni Kroos each scoring a goal.
In the end, Bayern defeated Zurich 5-0 and won a big victory in their first Champions League match.
…
In another group match, Juventus was tied 1-1 by Bordeaux at home.
This is another very interesting matchup.
Juventus head coach Ferrara and Bordeaux head coach Laurent Blanc were once teammates in Napoli and were central defenders. Both players became head coaches after retiring.
After retiring, Ferrara joined the Italian national team as an assistant coach to Lippi. He witnessed Italy's victory in the 2006 World Cup in South Africa. After Lippi left, he continued to assist Donadoni until May 19 this year, when Juventus head coach Ranieri was sacked. Ferrara stepped in to coach the last two rounds of last season and stayed on this summer.
In comparison, Laurent Blanc's coaching record is more brilliant.
This legendary French central defender coached Bordeaux after retiring. In his first season, he led the team, which was originally ranked fifth in Ligue 1, to the runner-up in Ligue 1. Last season, he defeated Lyon and led the team to win the sixth Ligue 1 championship in the club's more than 120 years of history, which greatly boosted his reputation.
Everyone was looking forward to what kind of sparks would come out of this old Napoli partner who changed positions and competed again? As a result, neither side could break through the other's defense in the first hour. Then Iaquinta received an assist from Cannavaro and scored the first goal for Juventus, but Bordeaux soon scored a goal back.
In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace with a score of 1:1.
The entire competition was lackluster, with basically not many highlights.
What is more eye-catching is that the French midfielder Gourcuff, who has been performing poorly in AC Milan and is known as the second Zidane, performed very bravely after returning to Bordeaux in Ligue 1. This game was also a highlight.
However, the two major rivals drew, which allowed Bayern, who won a big victory over Zurich, to stand out.
As the saying goes: When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.

This weekend, in the sixth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will host Nuremberg at home.
In the third game of the devil's schedule, Heynckes also had to make drastic rotations.
In the 31st minute, after a cross from Toni Kroos, Su Dong volleyed the ball with his right foot from four meters in front of the goal and directly broke through Nuremberg's goal, scoring the first goal for Bayern.
Two minutes later, Olic made a cross from the left, Sudong followed up and shot from a small angle, scoring another goal for Bayern.
2-0! After the second half, Olic scored a goal first, and then Gundogan assisted Choupo-Moting to score. In the final stage of the game, Robben assisted Pepe to score with a header, which secured the victory for Bayern.
Four to one, Bayern won three points again.

Three days later, Bayern faced the second round of the German Cup.
In August, in the first round of the German Cup, Bayern defeated a lower-level team Neckareltz 4-0 away from home.
In that game, Su Dong still followed the team to the away game, but did not play.
This time, Bayern's opponent is Oberhausen of the German Second Division, and it is at home.
Heynckes still played with a lineup of all substitutes and young players, allowing main players such as Su Dong to have a good rest.
After all, this is the fourth of seven games in twenty-one days, and there are three more games to come, including an away game against Hamburg in the north at the weekend. This is a showdown between the top and second place in the Bundesliga.
Bayern's substitutes did not disappoint, as they beat Oberhausen 5-0 at home.
Thomas Muller scored twice, Toni Kroos made one assist and one goal, young players such as Hummels, Badstuber and Contento all performed well, and youth team player David Alaba was included in the squad but did not play for the team.

This weekend, in the seventh round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will challenge Hamburg away.
Hamburger SV has performed very well this season. Head coach Labbadia was fired after leading Bayer Leverkusen to only ninth place last season and turned to coach Hamburger SV.
The result was unexpected. Hamburg remained unbeaten with four wins and two draws in the first six games of the new season, while Leverkusen also remained unbeaten with four wins and two draws in the first six rounds. The results of both teams have improved significantly.
It is quite an interesting story that a head coach was fired and two teams were activated at the same time.
But before facing Bayern, Hamburg had just been eliminated by 2. Bundesliga side Osnabruck in the second round of the German Cup.
The two sides tied 2-2 in the regular game and 3-3 in overtime. In the end, the Bundesliga team performed better in the penalty shootout, and Hamburg was eliminated in the second round of the new season's German Cup.
After learning from the painful experience, Hamburg vowed before the game to wash away the shame of the German Cup at home.
But it was Bayern who scored the first goal in the game.
Less than two minutes into the game, Sudong threatened Hamburg's goal with a long shot, creating a corner kick opportunity for the team. Lucio headed in Ribery's corner kick to score the first goal for Bayern.
In the 11th minute, Bayern launched a quick counterattack after stealing the ball. Ribery made a direct pass from the left rib to the left side of the penalty area. Su Dong quickly followed up and shot into the far corner from a small angle, scoring the first goal for Bayern, 2-0!
Just two minutes later, Lahm made a straight pass from the right side of the penalty area and sent the ball into the penalty area.
Su Dong received the ball with his back to the goal, blocked Hamburg center back Mathijsen with his body, then turned around and shot with his left foot, scoring another goal for Bayern.
Three to zero! After scoring three goals in a row, the game completely entered the Hamburg team's performance time.
From the 25th minute, Hamburg took advantage of the field and had continuous chances, but they were still unable to break into Bayern's goal.
Everyone can see that Bayern's continuous fighting still has an impact, especially considering the upcoming match against Juventus in the middle of the week, Heynckes' team is obviously still holding back.
After the second half, Hamburg scored a goal in the 72nd minute with the assist from former Bayern midfielder Ze Roberto and Petric, helping Hamburg to win the game.
But in the end, Hamburg still lost to Bayern 1-3 at home and missed the opportunity to narrow the gap.
…
The long journey north to Hamburg will have a significant impact on Bayern.
Su Dong was substituted by Klose after only playing for 66 minutes. Because Hamburg's traditional lethal tactics were very brutal, De Jong kicked Su Dong directly in the calf during a defense, causing muscle injury, forcing him to leave the field early.
Heynckes and the Bayern giants both denounced Hamburg's tactical play after the game, especially De Jong's brutal foul, but the referee had already punished De Jong with a yellow card during the game.
This muscle injury also forced Su Dong to sit on the bench in the Champions League match against Juventus.
