Chapter 224 FIFA Ballon d'Or 23-man shortlist

The scoreboard at the Emirates Stadium showed 1:1, which strongly stimulated the Arsenal players at home, so they took advantage of the kick-off to quickly attack Dortmund's goal. ???

However, Dortmund's players were well positioned and kept a reasonable distance between each other, failing to allow the lagging Arsenal to find space to create opportunities.

Head coach Wenger returned to the coaching bench and discussed with his assistants how to make adjustments next.

Although the home draw with Dortmund can be barely accepted, but considering the 1/8 final draw, this game must be won, otherwise it is very unrealistic to expect Dortmund, who is at home in the last round, to lose.

Arsenal's strong attack did not have the desired effect. On the contrary, Dortmund almost seized the opportunity to counterattack quickly and took the opportunity to reverse the score.

This result almost frightened Wenger. If he had to choose between a loss and a draw, he would definitely choose a draw. After all, losing at home is a difficult result to accept, especially for a giant like Arsenal. I can't afford to lose!

Because it would be embarrassing to lose!

With no other way, Wenger had to ask the team to slow down the offensive rhythm and create threats through patient transmission.

Two minutes later, Dortmund made the second substitution adjustment of the game, and Gundogan replaced captain Kyle on the field.

The captain's armband was handed over to the left arm of Tang Zheng, the second captain on the field. Central 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "Tang Zheng is not the first Chinese to enter the UEFA Champions League, but he is definitely the first to wear the captain's armband to participate in the Champions League. Chinese players in the Champions League!"

Tang Zheng at the Emirates Stadium didn't have much emotional fluctuations, he just felt the responsibility brought by the captain's armband.

Seventy-five minutes into the game, Arsenal is also preparing to make a second substitution adjustment. The Israeli international Benayoun, who has a stronger offensive ability, replaces Ramsey, who has a relatively balanced offense and defense.

However, this substitution adjustment did not have an obvious effect, and the offense was still the same as before, with no actual threat.

The same is true of Dortmund's offense. Gundogan failed to show his own characteristics when Tang Zheng and Pirlo were heavily marked.

However, he was still adapting to the rhythm of the game when he just played, and Klopp did not show any dissatisfaction.

Besides, the purpose of changing Gundogan is for the replacement of old and new in the future. The draw in the away game is acceptable. There is no need to fight Arsenal to the death. After all, we will face the Ruhr Derby opponent at the Westphalia 1un Stadium on the weekend. Schalke o4.

Compared with the game where the draw is acceptable, the weekend game is more important.

Since Olympiacos leads the home team Marseille in another game at the same time, if the game ends according to the current score, even if Arsenal draw at home or even lose to Dortmund, they can advance to the top 16 ahead of schedule, but they are second in the group. It is possible to draw the next lottery in the 1/8 final draw.

Win as much as you can.

If you want to go further in the Champions League, it is necessary to avoid strong enemies in the 1/8 finals.

So Arsenal's last adjustment is to use the striker. Chamark replaced Alexander Song, who had a yellow card on his back, to increase the number of offensive players in the frontcourt.

Dortmund, who were able to accept the draw in the away game, slowed down their offense and shrunk their defense. They were accumulating energy for the Ruhr Derby at home on the weekend.

Tang Zheng's more task is to defend in the middle, and the offense is handed over to Lewandowski, Gotze and Perisic.

When the game progressed to the 88th minute, Dortmund made the last adjustment, and Gross Kreutz replaced Gotze, who had a significant decline in physical fitness.

The Arsenal players sitting at the Emirates Stadium worked very hard, but Dortmund did not leave them any space. In addition, Wenger was also afraid of Dortmund's counterattack ability.

The score did not change until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

1:1

Dortmund drew with Arsenal away.

In another game in the same group, Olympiacos, who was at the bottom of the group, beat Marseille 1-0 in an away game.

As a result, Dortmund and Arsenal joined hands to qualify from Group F.

Dortmund ranked first in the group with five wins, three wins, two draws and 11 points in the group, and Arsenal ranked second in the group with nine points and two wins in five games.

If nothing else, Dortmund will most likely advance to the top 16 as the number one in the group. By that time, the knockout rounds will be able to avoid the first place in each group, and Arsenal, which is likely to be second in the group, will face Bayern, Real Madrid and A top club like Barcelona.

※※※

Dortmund's away draw against Arsenal was not expected by the media. After all, judging from their performance in the first four rounds of the group, it is not a problem to qualify, but who is the first in the group and who is the second in the group must be arranged according to the actual situation.

After five rounds of the group stage, Dortmund is very likely to win the first place in the group.

However, they did not focus on the specific group rankings, because their attention was on the Ruhr Derby at the Westfalenstadion at the weekend.

Also diverting attention are German and Chinese media.

The German media paid attention to this game because the traditional focus of the German arena is the most popular derby in Germany.

The attention of the Chinese media is purely because of a gimmick - the Chinese Derby in the Ruhr area.

After adapting last season, Hao Junmin is now qualified for the main position of Schalke O4.

And Tang Zheng is the core player of Dortmund, the contest between the two in the Bundesliga club naturally attracted great attention from Chinese fans.

With attention, there will naturally be demand. As the porters of society, the Chinese media must always pay attention to the preparations for the two.

Tang Zheng, who had just returned to Dortmund with the team, was interviewed by a reporter from New Wolves Sports. The main question he talked about was his outlook for the upcoming Ruhr Derby.

Hao Junmin from Gelsenkirchen also encountered the same problem.

There seems to be a tacit understanding between the two, and they agreed to answer when interviewed by domestic media: "Victory!"

As the heroes of the Chinese team's two-game winning streak in the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top 20, this Ruhr Derby can be said to have attracted the attention of the whole country.

In fact, after the end of the international match day, Central 5 began to build momentum for this Ruhr Derby, attracting the attention of fans.

Although Hao Junmin's status in the Schalke O4 team is not as good as Tang Zheng's in Dortmund, his tactical status in the team is still quite high. Through his outstanding performance, he even beat Farfan and Draxler to occupy the one of the locations.

When both sides of the game were actively preparing for the most popular derby in Germany, Spanish newspapers took the lead in disclosing the list of twenty-three candidates for the 2011 FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

Among them, Real Madrid and Barcelona occupy half of the places. They are: Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Villa, Fabregas, Abidal, Alves, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil, Casillas, Alonso and Khedira.

The two giants of La Liga occupy thirteen places, and the remaining ten places are divided among England, Bundesliga, Serie A and Brazil.

The Chinese media and fans are most concerned about the Bundesliga share. Tang Zheng, who led Dortmund to win the Triple Crown in the 2010-2011 season, is impressively listed!

In fact, Tang Zheng's inclusion in the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or 23-man squad was not much of a surprise. After all, the game he played on behalf of Dortmund last season was too amazing, and the double 20+ data is not something that professional players can achieve.

The Bundesliga is one of the highest-level leagues in world football.

Being able to show this kind of performance is inevitable.

Even in the 2010 first FIFA Golden Globe Awards 23-man roster, many media defended Tang Zheng. You must know that he performed quite well in the 209-2010 season, but because 2010 is the year of the World Cup, many The places are all given to the players who performed well in the World Cup...

At the same time, it is a pity that Tang Zheng also became the only Dortmund player selected for the 23-man candidate list.

In addition, the Bundesliga players shortlisted for the 23-man FIFA Golden Globe Award include Thomas Muller and Schweinsteiger.

On the British side, there are Manchester United's Rooney and Nani, Manchester City's Aguero, and Liverpool's Suarez.

In Serie A, only two players from Inter Milan were elected, they were Sneijder and Diego Forlan.

It is worth mentioning that the last place on the list of twenty-three candidates, Neymar, a talented teenager from Santos in Brazil, became the only non-European football player to be elected.

The next day, FIFA's official website updated the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or 23-man shortlist.

There is only one difference from the disclosed list of 23 candidates, that is, the French star Benzema replaced the German star Khedira.

However, this does not affect the overall situation. Anyway, it is only a list of 23 candidates, and the final list of three is the focus of media attention around the world.

Especially last year's FIFA Golden Globe Awards caused huge controversy, which made this year's FIFA Golden Globe Awards more suspicious.

Last year's FIFA Ballon d'Or winner everyone thought it would be the Dutch star Sneijder. After all, at the club level, he led Inter Milan to win the Serie A team's first treble. At the national team level, he also led the Dutch national team as a core player. team into the World Cup finals.

Under this dual background, no one will question Sneijder's election, but the results are often unexpected. Sneijder did not even enter the final list of three candidates, which caught people off guard.

In 2010, Messi, who was the only La Liga champion at the club level, overwhelmed his club teammates Iniesta and Xavi to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or, becoming the biggest laughing stock in the history of the Ballon d'Or.

Of course, Barcelona fans and Argentinian fans think Messi deserves it, he is the best player in the world.

It is fair and free, and those professional media reporters know who is the best in the world in 2010.

Closer to home, the world's media began to speculate on the 2011 FIFA Golden Globe Awards 23-man shortlist, and they analyzed who could be elected.

In this list, the two final candidates are naturally Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are currently called the peerless twins of world football by the media. The double crown, the last spot should also belong to Barcelona.

But at this time, the Chinese media had their analysis and speculation.

Tang Zheng performed perfectly in the 2o1o-2o11 season, helping Dortmund win the league championship, the German Cup championship and the Europa League championship, and the new season 2o11-2o12 season is even more so.

In the past thirteen rounds of the league, he helped Dortmund defeat Bayern Munich in the national derby and return to the league table.

Five rounds of the Champions League group stage have passed, and Dortmund, who returned to the Champions League after nine years, overwhelmed the heroic Arsenal rankings.

Isn't such data enough to get into the eyes of FIFA?

On the Chinese Internet, Weibo has a hot topic like this: #唐郑免费FIFA Golden Globe Award Twenty-Three Candidates#

In less than half a day, there were close to a million posts, and the speed was even visible to the naked eye, and the number of views exceeded 500 million.

In fact, not only the Chinese media and fans had speculation about Tang Zheng, even many German media believed that Tang Zheng was fully qualified to be included in the final three-man list.

Why?

Data is everything!

It's just that in recent years, European football has focused on Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, which has led to a great decline in the attention of the English, Bundesliga, Serie A and other venues.

This is also the fundamental reason why Messi will be able to win the FIFA Golden Globe in 2o1o.

Although Tang Zheng also wants to win the FIFA Golden Globe Award, which symbolizes the best player in world football, he also has self-knowledge.

Even if he leads Dortmund to win the Triple Crown, there is no way to compare with Messi who won the La Liga title and the Champions League double. After all, the gold content of the Champions League is n grades higher than that of the Europa League.

So Tang Zheng's attention was only on the next derby in the Ruhr area, and defeating the deadly enemy Schalke O4 in the derby again was what a qualified Dortmund person should do.

Facing the enthusiastic Chinese and foreign reporters, Tang Zheng smiled and said: "For me, the top priority is to play well in the next Ruhr Derby, because it is a game that cannot be lost."

Many media reporters were very speechless to Tang Zheng's answer, because their original intention was to hear Tang Zheng's true thoughts on his first 23-man shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

But...he practiced Tai Chi.

But this is a good thing for fans who follow the Ruhr Derby, especially Dortmund fans.

Seriously, Tang Zheng couldn't be offended.

In the 2o11-2o12 season, the first round of the Ruhr Derby in the Bundesliga was held at the Westphalia 1un Stadium. Considering that Dortmund played an away game in the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week, the German Football Association arranged for this league to be held at 4 pm local time in Germany. It starts at 10 o'clock, that is, ten o'clock Beijing time.

It was also the 23-man shortlist for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or that put Tang Zheng under pressure. He faced Schalke O4 at home in the Ruhr Derby Kamui. He passed once in the first half and then inserted a low shot to help Dortmund lead at home.

In the second half, he directly assisted Gross Kreutz, who came off the bench, to score a goal to expand the score.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund defeated Schalke, their rival Schalke, 4.8 at home 2:0
