Midfielder Ruler

In the 2011-2012 season, the fourth round of Group F of the UEFA Champions League ended almost at the same time. Since Arsenal failed to beat Marseille at home, there is still some suspense about the qualifying situation of Group F. update the fastest

Dortmund ranks first with four games, three wins and one draw with ten points, Arsenal four games with two wins and two draws with eight points, Marseille with four games, one win, one draw and two losses with four points and Olympiacos with no wins in four games. The zero-point group is at the bottom.

From the perspective of points, unless Dortmund takes the initiative to die and loses all the remaining two games, they will not lose their qualifications to advance to the top sixteen of the Champions League.

In addition, Marseille needs to meet the most important condition if they want to squeeze out Dortmund's reversal and advance to the top 16 of the Champions League, that is, they must win the remaining two games and get a goal difference that exceeds Dortmund's remaining net goal. Victory.

Considering the recent state of Marseille, this possibility can be said to be slim.

As for Marseille squeezing out Arsenal to advance to the top 16, it is more realistic, but it is also very difficult.

After all, Arsenal has advanced to the Champions League knockout stage for thirteen consecutive seasons, and they have rich experience in the Champions League. Therefore, the chances of them replacing Arsenal and advancing to the top 16 of the Champions League are not much higher than reversing Dortmund to advance to the top 16.

Therefore, the media believes that Marseille's third place in the group to participate in the top 32 of the Europa League this season is the kingly way.

Tang Zheng, who performed a hat-trick, naturally became the focus of this round, and he became one of the main reports of European mainstream media.

It is worth mentioning that there were two hat-tricks at the same time, that is, Argentine Lionel Messi and German international Gomez, who were elected to the FIFA Ballon d'Or last year.

But only Tang Zheng and Messi made the headlines in the European mainstream media, because they had a contest in the European Super Cup more than two months ago. At that time, Tang Zheng perfectly restrained Messi in the game and directly helped Dortmund play one less player. In the case of defeating Barcelona to become the king of Europe.

At the same time, the German media also reported on the rising stars who were shortlisted for the 2011 European Golden Boy Award.

Of course, the focus is on the German supernova international Mario Gotze.

Among the most popular players are Thiago who played for Barcelona, ​​Gotze who played for Dortmund, Hazard who played for Lille and Shalawi who played for AC Milan.

Compared with the focus of the European media on the game itself, the focus of the Chinese media is different.

Or to point to a different point.

Nine days later, the Chinese team will usher in the most critical group match of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil in Doha.

If the Chinese team cannot beat Iraq in a neutral position, then the Chinese team will have to bid farewell to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil in advance, so as to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia in advance.

At this time, the Chinese sports media took advantage of Xi Jinping's previous visit to Borussia Dortmund to create pressure on the Football Association.

"According to Dortmund staff, Vice President Xi Jinping expressed his admiration for Tang Zheng at the Stobelari training center, and he also bluntly stated that he is a fan of Tang Zheng. Xi Da and Tang Zheng in jersey numbers..."

People like Xi Da said that they are fans of Tang Zheng. They wore Tang Zheng's jersey on the training ground to compare their skills, and they stood up and applauded Tang Zheng for his hat-trick in the UEFA Champions League match the next day. You are a small football association. How dare the higher-ups ignore it?

Do not want to mix in the system?

In fact, the Football Association has been affected by Xi Jinping's visit to the Dortmund club, so the final 23-man squad for the national team's trip to Doha, Qatar has not been submitted to the AFC for a long time.

The national team is about to engage in a life-and-death battle, and as a Chinese, Tang Zheng is naturally very concerned.

If possible, he is willing to shed his blood.

It's just that in many cases, patriotism has a threshold.

At the same time, the head coach of the national team, Camacho, is very troubled. He is satisfied with the first game of coaching the Chinese team.

But the next two group stage losses put him under a lot of pressure.

The team's loss is inseparable from the players, but the head coach is always responsible.

In the past three rounds of the group stage, one win and two losses have been achieved. If they lose in the next away game, the only thing waiting for the Chinese team is to be eliminated early, and the head coach Camacho is not far away from get out of class.

As the head coach who once coached Real Madrid, he naturally didn't want the result of a price drop to happen.

The most obvious thing in the Chinese team's two consecutive losses is not only the lack of grasping ability of the forwards, but also the lack of control and creativity in the midfield.

May I ask that the defensive hardness of the midfielder is sufficient, and it has a super ability to transport projectiles forward, even if it is an amateur player, it will give me a chance or two.

Look at Dortmund again, how rough is Lewandowski who joined Dortmund last summer?

Hasn't he been sent to the top five in the Bundesliga scorer list by Tang Zheng, Gotze and others?

Among them, Tang Zheng contributed the most assists. His ability in the midfield is really too strong!

There is some reason for Tang Zheng's role in Dortmund and the European giants' interest in him. Not only does he have a strong ability to cover the midfield, but he also has a very strong ability to pass the ball forward.

Even the ability to get in behind and grasp the goal is top in Europe, belonging to b2b all-round players such as Lampard, Gerrard and Ballack.

If the Chinese team has Tang Zheng in charge, not to mention directly changing the weak attack, the hardness and creativity of the midfield will increase dramatically.

Thinking of this, Camacho decided to get on fire with the senior management of the Football Association who supervised the battle, and talk about the issue of the final 23-man roster.

Dortmund also have a domestic league game ahead of the international break, with a challenge at home to Wolfsburg.

In addition, Dortmund coach Klopp also has to consider the league game after the international break.

Opponent Bayern Munich, Allianz Arena, German national derby!

The first confrontation in the 2011-2012 season!

This season, Bayern Munich has swept away the haze of last season. Under the leadership of Heynckes, they ranked first in the league. The result will likely affect the ownership of the Bundesliga champion this season.

As for the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage after Bayern, Klopp is not particularly worried. Anyway, the team's qualifying is not a problem, and he is more worried about the long league.

Under the training of Heynckes, Bayern Munich has become more champion-like, so we have to pay attention.

So what worries Klopp is the international match day, whether the players participating in the national team match will be troubled by injuries. Last month's international match day injured two main players.

The day before Wolfsburg ushered in at home, Dortmund's fax room had an extra call-up list for the international match day.

This extra call-up list made Klopp a headache...

At the same time, the Chinese Football Association announced the 23-man roster for the fourth round of Group A of Group A of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Twenty.

In this list, the Chinese media and fans are most concerned about only one.

That is... Tang Zheng!

In fact, long before this list was announced, Tang Zheng received a call from the relevant staff of the Chinese Football Association, informing him that he was shortlisted for the 23-man squad for the World Cup qualifiers.

From the staff member's tone, Tang Zheng could feel the excitement and joy from the other party's heart.

May I ask, which fan does not want the best player in his country to be selected for the national team?

When the Chinese national team is in crisis, every Chinese fan hopes that a hero will step forward and turn the tide.

And Tang Zheng is the persistence and longing in the hearts of Chinese fans.

To put it in my heart, Tang Zheng's mood is complicated.

Both excited and aggrieved.

Excitement is finally being able to put on the jersey of the national team, aggrieved is being pushed to the fore in times of crisis.

Tang Zheng understands many things and reasons.

The bad thing about the receipt is that the Chinese Football Association pushed him out to resist the pressure.

At that time, if you lose in an away game, the Chinese Football Association can confidently say, isn't this what you most want to see? What does it matter to us if we lose?

With a wave of your sleeves, you won't take a single cloud away.

Of course, in Tang Zheng's heart, excitement was more than aggrieved.

His excitement was also reflected in the league game at home to Wolfsburg.

Following his hat-trick at home in the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week, Tang Zheng once again had a bright performance at the Westfalun Stadium this round. He scored twice in the first half with a long shot and a set kick, helping Dortmund score two goals leading.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leff even said excitedly: "Don's performance is really amazing! After scoring a hat-trick in the middle of the week, he faced the strong enemy Wolfsburg in the weekend league and completed the goal in the first half. Twice! I believe he has a good chance of scoring a hat-trick in the entire 90 minutes!"

However, in the second half, Tang Zheng consciously reduced his shots and strengthened his cooperation with his teammates.

In the 67th minute of the game, Tang Zheng completed an assist.

He sent an exquisite missile about 50 meters away from the goal, and Lewandowski volleyed and scored.

Three goals behind as a guest at the Westphalian Stadium, Wolfsburg players also realized that the general situation is over.

Piszczek and Gotze once again helped Dortmund score.

In the end, Dortmund beat Wolfsburg 5:1 at home, laying a solid foundation for the next round at the Allianz Arena, telling the Munich people that Dortmund is still the invincible Dortmund team!

The Chinese fans who watched this game were very excited. Tang Zheng's continued excellent form will mean that the next World Cup qualifiers will be in a guaranteed state!

And the last time many fans saw Tang Zheng wearing the national team jersey was back in 2008, when he represented the National Youth Team in the Asian Youth Championship...

Now that Tang Zheng is going to compete in the World Cup in the national team jersey soon, he feels very excited just thinking about it.

Many fans of the older generation think of the last time the national team participated in the World Cup, which dates back to the World Cup in Korea and Japan ten years ago...

The league match between Dortmund and Wolfsburg was held at 3:30 pm on November 4th. In the evening, they took a flight from Frankfurt International Airport directly to Doha, the capital of Qatar.

On the two international match days in November, the Chinese team has two World Cup qualifiers, and the slight disadvantage is that both games are away games.

Two games within five days, and a long-distance flight in the middle, is a great test of physical fitness.

Especially for Tang Zheng, it takes more than twelve hours for him to fly from Germany to Doha, and it takes half a day to play a game. After the away game in Singapore, it will take nearly 20 hours of long-distance flight from Singapore back to Germany, which is even more harmful to his physical fitness. harsh.

This is what Dortmund coach Klopp is worried about, but FIFA has clear regulations.

So what Klopp can do is to pray, hoping that Tang Zheng will play fewer games during the international break, and it is best to sit on the bench for 180 minutes, and then return to Germany safe and sound.

After Tang Zheng was shortlisted for the Chinese team's 23-man roster for the World Cup qualifiers, the domestic media and fans were buzzing.

When Tang Zheng arrived at Frankfurt International Airport by train, the media basically concluded that this was the rhythm of Tang Zheng flying to Doha, the capital of Qatar.

How many flights are there from Frankfurt to Doha?

Especially for international flights, the time difference between the same location is a bit long, so the media with great powers and fans with quick brains can determine the time when Tang Zheng arrives at Doha International Airport.

As China's No. 1 star and a world-class player, Tang Zheng's appeal in Asia is still very strong.

He is not only handsome, but also has good football skills.

Can people like it?

So at Doha International Airport, even though Tang Zheng was wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, he was immediately recognized by the long-awaited media and fans who had piercing eyes.

The passenger flow during this time period is already very large, but now the media and fans are so excited that there is chaos at the international airport.

Fortunately, the staff at relevant positions at Doha International Airport responded quickly and made corresponding controls to maintain order at the airport.

"Is there any difference in being selected as an adult country for the first time?"

"The current situation of the national team is very unfavorable. Are you confident to lead the national team out of the haze?"

"I heard that you have conflicts with the officials of the Chinese Football Association. Why are you shortlisted this time?"

"You are playing against Iraq in Doha, and then you are flying to Singapore. Will the long-distance flight affect your game status?"

...

While the airport was in control, countless media pointed at Tang Zheng with long guns and short cannons.

Among these media, there are Chinese, Iraqi, Korean, Japanese, and Qatari...

Tang Zheng looked down at the densely packed reporters and fans, his head was a bit big.

But as a public figure, he had to cooperate appropriately.

Randomly picked a few pleasing domestic reporters as the answer, and then signed a few names for the fans. In order to ensure the normal order of the airport, he left the airport under the escort of the airport security personnel.

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic fans and reporters, Tang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what he didn't expect was that there were a bunch of reporters and fans waiting for the Chinese team to stay in the hotel...

Maybe Tang Zheng could dismiss enthusiastic reporters, but he couldn't do that to enthusiastic fans.

Since the Chinese team only handed in the 23-man roster for the match and did not announce the specific numbers of the players, the fans who supported Tang Zheng were all wearing Dortmund's No. 10 jersey.

Hundreds of people are wearing yellow and black No. 10 jerseys. What a magnificent sight is that? rw
