The so-called death penalty can be avoided and life crime cannot be escaped. It means that the Bundesliga has entered the winter break. If Tang Zheng has no other plans, he will return to China with Zhao Lina.

To this, Tang Zheng did not refuse.

Because if there is no other task this winter, he is also planning to return to China.

Last year, because of signing with Nike and going to Uruguay to receive the South American Footballer of the Year trophy, New Year's Day was not too pleasant, and it just happened to be able to make up for it this time.

In terms of competition, although Tang Zheng does not need to prepare for the final round of the Bundesliga, he still needs to stay in Dortmund's last two cup matches in 2010 - the sixth round of the Europa League group and the third round of the German Cup.

At present, Dortmund is only ahead of Paris Saint-Germain in group j with a goal difference advantage, ranking first in the group. If they lose to Sevilla, who has already been eliminated, at the Pisjuan Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain, who is a guest in distant Ukraine, will If they remain unbeaten, they will be relegated to second place in the group.

That would be quite detrimental to the draw for the Europa League 1/16 finals!

In order to ensure the first place in the group, even if the group has already qualified ahead of schedule, Dortmund must try to win the away game to ensure the first place in the group.

Dortmund is not very far from Seville, but it is not close either, nearly two thousand kilometers away.

But fortunately, Sevilla has been out early, and they are meaningless in the next last group match.

So they had some reservations in this meaningless game. Dortmund, who was a guest, beat the home team 1:0 under Tang Zheng's leadership.

In addition, Paris Saint-Germain, who traveled to distant Ukraine, did not beat Kapati, and their unexpected 1-1 draw with their opponents.

In the 2010-2011 Europa League season, all six rounds of Group J were over. Dortmund ranked first in the group with six games, four wins, two draws and 14 points. Paris Saint-Germain ranked second in the group with a difference of two points.

Before the final round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage is also over. The clubs that entered the top 32 of the UEFA Europa League as the third in the group are Twente, Benfica, Glasgow Rangers, Cameroon. Mountain Ruby, Basel, Spartak, Ajax and Braga.

On the second day after the Europa League group stage was fully concluded, UEFA held the European knockout draw ceremony at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The draw for the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Champions League will take place first, followed by the draw for the 1/16 finals of the Europa League.

The UEFA Champions League 1/8 final draw has only two strong dialogues, namely Arsenal vs Barcelona and Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich, the opponents of last season's Champions League final.

The Chinese media are most concerned about the opponents drawn by Schalke 04. Schalke 04, who won the first place in the group, will face La Liga's lonely giants Valencia first.

This season's Schalke 04 did not perform well in the league, but Hao Junmin, a Chinese national footballer, got a lot of opportunities to play, and he made contributions in the Champions League and the league, which was recognized by Magath.

Subsequently, the focus of the Chinese media was on the 1/16 draw ceremony of the Europa League.

I don't know if it's because of bad luck, Tang Zheng played for Dortmund and even got the Portuguese giants Porto!

The game time of the two sides is 8:00 pm on February 17, 2011 and 5:00 pm on February 23, 2011 European time respectively.

When the results were drawn, the German, Portuguese and Chinese media were in an uproar.

This lottery is poisonous!

On the contrary, Tang Zheng looked very excited after seeing the lottery in front of the TV. He immediately picked up the phone and flipped through the phone's address book, then found a familiar number and dialed it directly.

"Huh? Busy?"

After dialing Falcao's mobile phone number, there was a busy tone.

After about half a minute, Tang Zheng's cell phone on the sofa rang.

Tang Zheng, who was listening to the lottery analysis of German Sky TV, picked up his mobile phone,

The name note displayed on the screen is Falcao!

"Hey, long time no see." Just after connecting, Tang Zheng heard a familiar tone.

"Yes, but we will meet soon." Tang Zheng said playfully.

"I'm really looking forward to our first match."

"Really?" Tang Zheng joked, "But I don't think it will be a good memory for you."

"Who said that?" Falcao emphasized his tone, and snorted, "I must shoot your goal into a sieve!"

"Then wait and see! My tiger~"

Good friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, the two chatted for half an hour before hanging up reluctantly.

However, what Tang Zheng didn't know was that Falcao, who had hung up the phone, clenched his fists and gave himself strength in his heart. He hoped to give Tang Zheng some color in the next Europa League 1/16 finals.

However, he doesn't seem to have much self-confidence.

At the same time, James Rodriguez, who watched the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League 1/16 final draw, is also working hard to defeat Dortmund led by Tang Zheng in the match in February next year!

Every year when December comes, various awards ceremonies come as scheduled.

The first award awarded by Ouzhou was the European Golden Boy Award. Since Tang Zheng, the previous winner of the European Golden Boy Award, was already 21 years old before the award was presented, this award was not for him, and it was also not for other Chinese players.

The winner of the 2010 European Golden Boy Award is Super Mario Balotelli, who followed Inter Milan to win the UEFA Champions League in the 2009-2010 season!

In addition to the selection of the best players for young players under the age of 21 in Europe in December, the 2010 European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year will also have results.

However, there are some changes to these two trophies this year. This year, the European Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year are combined into one and called the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Tang Zheng performed very well throughout 2010, and he was also shortlisted for the 23-person shortlist for the FIFA Golden Globe Award.

The day before Dortmund's away game to Frankfurt, the merged fifa Golden Globe announced the top three nominees for the award at the headquarters of L'Equipe in Paris, France.

What is surprising is that the top three are all from Barcelona, ​​namely Messi, Iniesta and Xavi.

The Dutch midfielder Sneijder, who had been favored by countless football experts before, did not enter the top three.

This result came out, causing an uproar again.

There is no surprise that Harvey and Iniesta entered the top three. 2010 is the year of the big game. They helped Spain win the World Cup. As the heroes of the championship, they should be included.

It's just that Messi's entry into the top three is incredible. In the past 2010, apart from his excellent performance at the club, the national team competition can only be described as bad.

He represented Argentina in the World Cup five games, zero goals, is the number one player out of Argentina.

With this kind of background, the ability to push Sneijder into the top three of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or is really not convincing.

Because Sneijder was perfect in 2010. He not only represented Inter Milan to win the first Triple Crown in Italian history, but also helped the Dutch national team win the World Cup runner-up.

So many media complained about Sneijder, and Tang Zheng also talked about the final three-man list of the FIFA Golden Globe Awards on Twitter and Weibo.

Of course, Tang Zheng only talked about this matter and didn't pay too much attention to it.

In the seventeenth round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga, Dortmund's away game to Frankfurt, where Tang Zheng was suspended due to accumulative yellow cards, did not go to Frankfurt with the team, but stayed at the club to prepare for the third round of the DFB-Pokal before the winter break.

Before the game, the German media and mainstream European media focused on Hesse.

Most of the media are very optimistic about Dortmund scoring away points, thus surpassing the Bundesliga half point record created by Bayern in the 2005-2006 season.

Of course, if there are supportive media, there will naturally be media that question it.

"Süddeutsche Zeitung" has been consciously targeting Dortmund since the 2009-2010 season with Tang Zheng and Dortmund.

This time when Dortmund was very close to the record, their doubts were naturally indispensable.

They believed that Dortmund lacked the absolute core Tang Zheng in this campaign, and would be greatly restricted on the offensive side, and the impact on the defensive end would also be considerable.

Plus no one in this world would willingly become a stepping stone!

Such is the case with Frankfurt, which has a long history!

Although their overall strength is not as good as Dortmund, they will definitely do everything possible to defend their dignity!

"Süddeutsche Zeitung" obviously took pains, they successfully used public opinion to ignite the fighting spirit of Frankfurt players.

Frankfurt, which sits at the Forest Stadium, is fully prepared. They have targeted deployments against Dortmund, which lacks Tang Zheng, so that Dortmund's offense is helpless in the away game.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said during the intermission of the game: "Dortmund without Don feels like a tiger without teeth. There is no way to give the opponent a direct threat!"

Marcel Leff naturally has his reasons for saying this, and even in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency alone, Frankfurt has done even better.

If it weren't for Hummels and Weidenfeller's outstanding performance in the first half, it is estimated that Dortmund would have conceded a goal at the Forest Stadium.

Sitting in front of the TV watching the game, Tang Zheng was in a bad mood, as if he saw the results of the 30th round of the league in the 2009-2010 season.

That league game was also suspended because of his accumulated yellow cards. Dortmund lost 0:1 to Mainz in the away game, otherwise the team will participate in the UEFA Champions League this season instead of the Europa League.

Fortunately, the ending of this game is different from the suspension game last season. After 90 minutes, the two sides stood at 0:0

In the end, Dortmund took away a point at the Forest Stadium, creating the highest half-time score since the founding of the Bundesliga.

Even so, for Tang Zheng, this is an imperfect record.

So Tang Zheng made up his mind to become more stable in the second half of the season, try to use patience to complete defense instead of tactical fouls.
