Dortmund's away game 2: Defeating Werder Bremen is both reasonable and unexpected to the German media. After all, Werder Bremen performed very well this season. Bayern Munich are two points short.

So it is somewhat surprising that such a team defeated Dortmund at home.

With this away victory, Dortmund surpassed Werder Bremen in one fell swoop, ranking second in the league.

Four days later, Dortmund will challenge last season's Greek champion Olympiakos in Athens, Greece.

Dortmund has been in good form recently. They won the home team Marseille in the second round of the UEFA Champions League away game 2:0, and returned to the domestic arena to win two consecutive victories. They scored eight goals in three games and did not concede a goal. It can be described as menacing.

On the other hand, Olympiacos has been in a mediocre state recently, losing streak to Marseille and Arsenal in the Champions League group stage, and last week's home draw with Athens in the league, so the European media are very optimistic about Dortmund's away trip.

In order to boost the morale of the home team, the Greek media checked the classics and finally found some confidence.

"In the second round of the UEFA Champions League in the 982-983 season, Olympiacos beat Hamburg 4: 1 at home. Twenty years later, in the UEFA Champions League group match in the 22-23 season, they also had a 6: 2 victory over North Rhine Westphalia. The record of another powerful team Leverkusen, we have enough reasons to believe that nine years later, they can still play a soul-stirring classic game and win the Bundesliga championship!"

From the sports headline of the Greek Newspaper.

At 8:45 p.m. on October 19th, European time, the third round of Group F of the UEFA Champions League in the 2-22 season was held at the Kareskaski Stadium. Olympiacos, who are at home, are indeed very confident. They took advantage of Dortmund Scored a goal without a firm foothold.

But as the game progressed, Dortmund gradually found the game state. First, Gotze shot a cold arrow from the outside to equalize the score, and then Tang Zheng's corner kick before the end of the first half caused the goalkeeper Costanzo to make a save. Barry ambushed in front of the goal. Oss poked a counter-score.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and Dortmund, who was in full swing, expanded the score.

This time it was the central defender Hummels who scored the goal. Tang Zheng made a fake shot from the right and made a real dunk to win the pass. The football almost hit Hummels on the head and then flew into the far corner of the goal.

This goal was also the last goal of the game, and Dortmund won Olympiacos in the away game 3:0.

Arsenal beat Marseille by one goal as a guest, but Dortmund won two consecutive Champions League victories and also scored four goal differences. They beat Arsenal to rank first in Group F with their goal difference advantage.

After finishing the Champions League group stage, Dortmund ushered in the domestic league and domestic cup.

Dortmund, who has won four consecutive victories in all competitions, sits at the Westphalia Stadium 5: a big victory over Cologne.

Due to Bayern Munich's unexpected loss to Hannover 96 in a league game later in the league, Dortmund, who won a big home victory, ranked first in the league with a goal difference advantage with one round less.

European mainstream media said that Dortmund, which was unbeaten in all competitions last season, is back!

Therefore, the German media began to look forward to the German national derby at the Allianz Arena a month later. If Bayern Munich at home cannot beat Dortmund, it will be difficult for them to regain the league championship.

At the same time, the Chinese media also frantically reported on Tang Zheng's performance in Dortmund during this period.

The media and fans who follow Dortmund matches know that the root cause of Dortmund's recent five-game winning streak in various competitions is Tang Zheng's full state, allowing them to see Tang Zheng who led Dortmund to win the Triple Crown last season.

On the international match day next month, the Chinese team will challenge Iraq as a guest. If the Chinese team loses to Iraq again, 99% of them will miss the 2024 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten. Therefore, the Chinese media is building momentum, hoping that China, which is under pressure The Football Association can put aside their prejudices and recruit Tang Zheng to participate in next month's World Cup qualifiers.

The closer media compares national glory and personal face,

He said that if the Chinese Football Association did not recruit Tang Zheng to participate in the World Cup qualifiers to be held in Doha next month, it would be putting his personal face above his family.

This is a big hat for the officials of the Football Association. If there is no suitable reason, then this hat must be worn.

Tang Zheng naturally didn't pay attention to the crazy reports of the Chinese media in the country, and now there is only the competition in front of him!

Dortmund continued to play at home, they ushered in the challenge of the Bundesliga team Tresden, this is the second round of the German Cup.

There is a big difference in strength between the two, and Klopp appropriately rotates the team.

Of course, this rotation has nothing to do with Tang Zheng. He has good physical reserves and is in full condition. As the team's top salary, he should play as long as he is not injured.

In this game, it was his pass and one shot that helped Dortmund beat Tresden at home.

On October 29th, Dortmund returned to the domestic league. They went to Baden-Württemberg to challenge the national team Stuttgart.

This game is called the Japanese Derby and the East Asian Derby by the Asian media. The Japanese Derby is Kagawa Shinji playing for Dortmund, while Stuttgart has two Japanese players, Sakai Kotoku and Okazaki Shinji.

However, more Asian media are still willing to call it the East Asian Derby, because Shinji Kagawa did not have many opportunities to play in Dortmund, and he had a very unpleasant dispute with the head coach Klopp. He is seeking to leave Dortmund when the winter transfer window opens.

Although Shinji Kagawa entered the squad for the 18-man competition, his chances of playing are negligible.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to call it the East Asian Derby. Tang Zheng is the main core of Dortmund. Shinji Okazaki has a stable chance to play in Stuttgart. He played in the away game against Nuremberg in the last round.

Considering that there will be Champions League matches in the middle of next week, Klopp has made some adjustments to the lineup, and Gotze, Pirlo and Piszczek take turns.

Shinji Okazaki, who has received much attention from the Japanese media, did not perform as expected by the domestic media. He did nothing in the limited playing time.

Regarding this, the Chinese media who came to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium were very excited, because Tang Zheng's super performance on both offensive and defensive ends left Shinji Okazaki with no bright spots to speak of.

Had it not been for Ibisevic's equalizer in the second half, Dortmund would have been on the road to a win.

Due to Bayern Munich's 4: victory over Nuremberg at the Allianz Arena this round, Dortmund had to retreat to the second place in the league after a draw. However, considering that Dortmund played one less game, many media believe that it is only time for Dortmund to return to the first place in the league. question.

※※※

Dortmund's winning streak ended in the away game, and the fans did not express any dissatisfaction. They knew that Dortmund should pay more attention to the Champions League this season.

There is nothing wrong with preparing for the midweek game at home against Olympiacos.

At present, Dortmund and Arsenal have accumulated seven points in the same three games in the Champions League. If the two teams also win the next group match, then the situation of qualifying for this group will be very clear.

The original group points will be Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal with 10 points, Marseille with 3 points, and Olympiacos with all four losses at the bottom of the group. That is to say, if Dortmund and Arsenal win the fourth round, they will join hands to qualify two rounds ahead of the group.

The script is written like this, as to whether it will develop like this, it depends on how the two games are played.

While Dortmund was preparing for the Champions League group match against Olympiacos in the middle of the week, such news appeared in China's political and current affairs circles.

"Vice President Xi Jinping paid a friendly visit to Germany. Accompanied by German Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economy and Energy Gabriel, he visited the Reichstag in Dublin, Germany. At the same time, officials from the Ministry of Information also revealed the itinerary of the next visit, Hamburg and Bavaria. and North Rhine-Westphalia..."

Originally, this news was only related to interviews on political and current affairs. However, according to the interview, the vice president of Germany, Xi Dada, is an avid football fan. Borussia Dortmund Football Club, Tefar n State Avenue.

So add two places to your itinerary visiting North Rhine-Westphalia: the Stobelari Training Center and the Westphalia Stadium.

As a result, the Chinese sports media is completely boiling, especially the media that mainly report football news...

The day before the fourth round of Group F of the UEFA Champions League in the 2-22 season, the Dortmund team routinely practiced skills and tactics.

But not long after the technical and tactical drills, the sports director Michel Zorc came to the first team training ground, and then walked to the head coach Klopp for a few words.

As early as the end of the domestic league, Klopp received news from the club's senior management that a senior Chinese official who likes football will visit the Stobelari training center.

In fact, there was only one person this football-loving official wanted to see, and that was Tang Zheng from China.

In the past two days, the Stobelari training center also declined fans to visit, and took sufficient safety measures.

At the same time, there is martial law at the Westphalia Stadium. According to the arrangement of North Rhine-Westphalia Governor Kraft, they will appear in the VIP seats of the stadium in the middle of the week to watch the Champions League match between Dortmund and Olympiacos at home.

At the end of the technical and tactical drill, the whole team carried out a simple pass and cut training. Hummels held Tang Zheng who was about to make a triangle pass with Gundogan and Pirlo: "Hey~ Tang, the vice president of your country is coming soon. Coming to the training center, are you nervous?"

"What's there to be nervous about?" Tang Zheng looked at Hummels speechlessly.

But when the club's c. Watzke brought the German vice president Gabriel, the governor of North Rhine-Westphan and Xi Jinping to Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng, who was fearless in the football field, was actually dumbfounded.

Or, get too excited.

Xi Da was very satisfied with Tang Zheng's reaction, he stretched out his right hand first, and said with a smile: "I know you, our country's current number one football star, you are great! By the way...I am also your fan."

From the far end, Tang Zheng's bewildered Hummels and the others could be seen laughing in good faith.

It was also this roar of laughter that brought Tang Zheng back to reality. He quickly stretched out his right hand to meet him, shrugging his shoulders: "To be honest, I don't like what you say."

The accompanying domestic senior officials shook their heads at Tang Zheng's performance.

Still too young.

But Xi Da was very satisfied with Tang Zheng, he patted Tang Zheng's strong shoulder to express his satisfaction.

Later, Watzke gave Xi a plus-size Dortmund No. 10 jersey.

Xi Jinping immediately chose to wear the Borussia Dortmund home jersey with the No. 10 fan on it, and then showed off his 'outstanding' footwork in leather shoes.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of accompanying him.

Finally, before leaving the Stobelari training center, Xi Jinping walked towards Tang Zheng with a smile on his face: "Very energetic guy, the great revival of Chinese football is at the feet of you young people, I am optimistic about you, come on! "

The next day, the day when Dortmund played against Olympiacos at home in the fourth round of Group F of the UEFA Champions League, the Westfalen Stadium was different from usual in that it was heavily guarded and the entry requirements became extremely demanding.

But this game made the Dortmund fans present very satisfied, because this is a game worthy of their commemoration.

In this match, Tang Zheng, who wore the captain's armband, used his head, left foot, and right foot to score goals in the first half, performing the first hat-trick in his career.

When Tang Zheng scored the third goal, he first incited the frenzied atmosphere of the scene and raised his arms and shouted, then ran to the camera position and took off the yellow and black home jersey, revealing the white bottoming short-sleeved shirt underneath.

There is an anime doll drawn on the front of the white bottoming short-sleeved shirt. If you look closely, it is the back of a player wearing the red jersey of the Chinese national team. On this doll player, there are two crooked lines written: I will My heart is toward the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was excited: "Aside from the objective fact that Tang Zheng is China's No. 1 star, from our understanding of the world, Tang Zheng is a patriotic young man. , Tell the world that there are people in China who can play football, and they can play very well! But because of the blind control of power by some officials, he cannot play for the country..."

At the same time, the on-site director cut a scene to the VIP seats. Vice President Xi Jinping, who was visiting Germany, stood up from his seat, raised his hands above his head, and clapped vigorously.

This shot is very ordinary, but it is meaningful to some people.

With Tang Zheng's hat-trick in the first half, Dortmund played very relaxed in the second half. They were scored by the visiting team to save face.

3:

Borussia Dortmund defeated visiting Olympiacos with Tang Zheng's career hat-trick.

At the same time, in another match of this group, Arsenal failed to beat Marseille at home. Dortmund unfortunately failed to qualify two rounds ahead of schedule, but with a goal difference of six, they still have a chance to lose in the remaining two rounds. It is very likely that the group will qualify.

It's just that the possibility is a little bit, Dortmund still has a home game in the last two games.
