Chapter 117 Europa League

Dortmund has shown a good competitive state since the German Cup. Counting the warm-up match and the Europa League, they have already won seven consecutive victories in all competitions after the Ruhr Derby. ??

It is also understandable why Schalke O4, who won the Telecom Cup this summer, lost so uselessly at home.

Facing such a strong Dortmund, it is normal for Schalke, who has been sluggish recently, to lose in O4.

However, this rivalry in the Ruhr area is polarized at the beginning of the new season, and will inevitably become the focus of the media.

The first round of the Ruhr Derby in the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season ended. Tang Zheng became the biggest contributor to Dortmund's victory with two goals and one assist. He was once again undisputedly the man of the match.

In the mixed area after the match, a large number of media flocked to Tang Zheng.

There is no doubt that Dortmund's outstanding performance at the beginning of the new season is inseparable from Tang Zheng's outstanding performance.

Compared with the German media and European mainstream media with pure purpose, the questions from the Chinese media made it difficult for Tang Zheng to answer.

Because Tang Zheng's first celebratory goal was to celebrate Zhao Lina's birthday, so it was a headache for him.

But he didn't avoid answering, and said with a smile: "You also know that Nana and I are very good friends. Today I have a competition task. I couldn't go to her birthday party yesterday. This is my respect for her." A kind of compensation, nothing more..."

This reason is acceptable to Chinese journalists. Although the answer is not what they imagined, it is better than nothing.

They firmly believe that one day... the golden couple of Chinese football will walk together.

The focus of the German media and mainstream European media is how long Dortmund's winning streak will last, because their next league opponents are not very strong.

Before the start of the next Europa League match day, Dortmund's league opponents are all newly promoted, namely Kaiserslautern and St. Pauli.

Kaiserslautern, who won two consecutive victories at the beginning of the league, became mediocre after losing to Mainz, the biggest dark horse so far this season. Not to mention St. Pauli, they have won one, drawn and one in the past four rounds of the league. Five goals lost five goals.

Dortmund, whose data is quite gorgeous, is really not one and a half stars, because the difference is too far.

At this time, even the Dortmund media set their sights on the Europa League match day, when Dortmund played against Sevilla at home.

Of course, this game is still a bit far away from Dortmund. What they should do now is to win Kaiserslautern and St. Pauli and stabilize their position in the ranking.

Although both Kaiserslautern and St. Pauli are newly promoted, they are not easy to deal with. As a newly promoted Kaiserslautern, after four league rounds, they ranked sixth in the league, even higher than the defending champion Bayern Munich.

However, this has a lot to do with the sluggish start of many teams this season. As the runner-up of the Bundesliga last season, Schalke O4 ranked bottom, and the Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg in the 2oo8-2oo9 season was second to last.

Bundesliga powerhouses like Werder Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart had a sluggish start, and almost all of them ranked outside the tenth place in the league.

The previously mentioned Mainz performed very well in the first four rounds of the league this season. They are the only team other than Dortmund that can maintain a complete victory. If it is not for the goal difference, they can even be ranked ahead of Dortmund. .

※※※

Schalke lost four games in a row at the start of the O4 league. The coach Magath, who has attracted much attention, was not fired by the club. The club chairman Tenis publicly stated that the atmosphere in the team is good, and he still maintains trust in Magath, who currently has the highest annual salary in the Bundesliga.

The trusted Magath did not disappoint the Schalke fans. He led the team to beat Freiburg 2:1 in the away game on the weekend and achieved the first victory of the new season.

Another focus battle is between Hoffenheim, who is third in the league, and defending champion Bayern, who is ninth in the league.

After 90 minutes, Bayern, which still had a sluggish start to the season, defeated Hoffenheim 2:1.

Keep the pressure on the upstream teams.

One day later, in the fifth round of the Bundesliga in the 2010-2011 season, Borussia Dortmund defeated Kaiserslautern with five goals at home at the Westfalenstadion and won five consecutive league victories.

Although Tang Zheng didn't score a goal, he contributed a direct assist and effectively attracted Kaiserslautern's defensive attention, allowing Barrios, Lewandowski, Grosskreuz Get a good chance to break the door.

Mainz, the biggest dark horse in the Bundesliga this season, also won the league against Cologne at home. They ranked second in the league with a goal difference of four.

Next, Dortmund started a week of double-match mode.

After they played away at St. Pauli, they returned home to start the second match day of the Europa League, sitting at the Westfalen Stadium against La Liga powerhouse Sevilla.

And Dortmund's away game against the newly promoted league is also their last league game in September. If they successfully win their opponents, they can hit the Bundesliga record of seven consecutive victories at the beginning of the league jointly created by Kaiserslautern and Bayern Munich.

Dortmund's last league game in September ended with a score of 3:1. They won the league's opening six consecutive victories as they wished, and they are only one victory away from the record of seven consecutive victories in the Bundesliga.

What's interesting is that Dortmund's opponent in the seventh round of the league is Bayern Munich, which jointly owns the record.

However, both sides have a European game before that, Bayern Munich will travel to Switzerland to challenge Basel, and Dortmund will face Sevilla at home.

But for Bayern Munich, they still have a league game before the start of the European war.

Sitting at the Allianz Arena, they face Mainz, which has won five consecutive victories at the start of the league, and this game is also the focus of this round of the Bundesliga.

Perhaps considering the UEFA Champions League match in the middle of next week, Van Gaal's team had reservations. They even lost 1:2 to Mainz as a guest at home, giving the opponent a six-game winning streak at the beginning.

Everyone thinks that it is normal for Dortmund to win the league's first six consecutive victories. After all, their team from last season is still there, and it is normal to perform well this season.

Mainz is different. There are no star players in their team. The current results are directly related to their overall performance.

If you have to talk about star players, you can only say that Schurrle, who is only 20 years old this year, has star quality. It was his goal that helped Mainz beat Bayern Munich in the away game, breaking the start of the Bundesliga this season. Biggest upset ever.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with their luck.

Ending the league away game against St. Pauli, Dortmund entered emergency preparations.

Because they have two fierce battles next, facing Sevilla and Bayern Munich respectively.

Fortunately, these two games are played at home, so there is no need to travel.

But both opponents are difficult to deal with. Compared with Bayern Munich, which is very familiar with the domestic league, Sevilla has a sense of strangeness and lack of understanding for Dortmund.

But this strangeness is also true for Sevilla, Dortmund is very strong and mysterious.

In the final analysis, Seville is still more optimistic about the European media.

Dortmund has been away from the European arena for eight years. The head coach Klopp has not led the team to the European war before, and he does not know the rhythm of the European war. Therefore, many European media are not optimistic about Dortmund's next Europa League group. game.

However, Dortmund's local media and fans believe that Dortmund will continue the league well in the next European war and beat Sevilla.

Similarly, the Chinese media are also optimistic about Dortmund. After all, Dortmund's recent state is really too hot.

Especially when Tang Zheng was in good form, how could he lose?

Dortmund coach Klopp, who was interviewed by the media, talked about this game. He said: "We are in good shape and we are playing at home. I think there will only be one result, and that is victory!"

The Sevilla coach Antonio Alvarez, who arrived in Dortmund, was not to be outdone: "Anyone can say big things, but I don't want to say more, because the game is decided by both feet."

In fact, Antonio Alvarez has a certain reason for saying this. Sevilla consumed too much energy in the Spanish Cup before the season, so that they failed to pass the Champions League qualifying round, and the club lost at least five million euros in revenue.

In the Europa League round, they lost to Paris Saint-Germain at home. If they lose to Dortmund away in the second round, it will be extremely difficult to advance to the Europa League knockout round...

In this regard, Klopp did not accept media interviews, but concentrated on preparing for the next Europa League match.

European competitions and domestic leagues have different competition systems, and the teams they face are also different. The style of play can only be understood from the video, lacking real cognition.

In addition, the rhythm of the European war is different from that of the domestic league. Instead of wasting time in the war of words, it is better to prepare wholeheartedly for the group match against Sevilla at home.

They used to play very hard against the little-known Kapati as a guest, but now they are facing the stronger Sevilla, even if they sit in Westphalia, it is difficult to win their opponents.

So Klopp is ready for both hands, first defending, and then fighting to win.

The league is a long season, and the Europa League group stage lasted only six group matches, of which the top two advanced to the top 32, and the bottom two went home directly.

The second round of the 2o1o-2o11 Europa League Group J group match will be held at 1 am on October 1, BJ time, which is 6 pm local time in Germany.

Since captain Kyle was still recovering from his injuries, Tang Zheng still appeared at the Westfalen Stadium wearing the captain's armband.

Before the match started, Tang Zheng focused on Navas.

The extremely fast wide player is Sevilla's star player who has repeatedly created excellent chances. Cutting off his connection with Brazilian striker Fabiano is the key to victory at home.

At this moment, the referee on duty blew his whistle.
