Vol 2 Chapter 225: UEFA Champions League one / eight final opponent-AC Milan!

The home league defeat of Schalke o4 is Dortmund's last game in November. They can finally breathe and prepare for the December event.
In December, Dortmund did not have many events, only six games.
Of course, this is only relative to November.
Four leagues, one UEFA Champions League group stage and the German Cup 1/8 finals, one of which is the fourth round of the away match against Leverkusen.
These six opponents, except Marseille and Leverkusen are difficult to deal with, the other four opponents are very general.
Mönchengladbach, Freiburg, Kaiserslautern and Düsseldorf.
But there was a dark horse in these four pairs, Mönchengladbach.
Only stayed in Mönchengladbach through promotion and demotion last season. He even beat Bayern in the league's second throne in the last 14 rounds of the league. His dark horse is even stronger than Mainz last season.
Dortmund scored ten wins, two draws and one loss with 32 points in one round of the under-match. Mönchengladbach had nine wins, two draws and three losses with 29 points, more than the German national Derby lost to Bayern. one cent.
Mönchengladbach can be ranked second in the league and has a direct relationship with their absolute core Royce. Roundly defeated Bayern Munich and home victory over Werder Bremen are his outstanding works.
As European mainstream media analyzed the final list of the three FIFA Golden Globes in 2o11, Dortmund prepared for a low-key away game to challenge the Mönchengladbach league.
Head coach Klopp and assistant coach Jericho Bovach studied the absolute core Royce of Mönchengladbach after training, because Dortmund wanted to score at home in the new Mengchengladbach You must limit Royce's stunning performance this season.
German media also has a new look at the next round of the league-list battle.
Dortmund only has three more points than Mönchengladbach. If Mönchengladbach at home wins, they will tie Dortmund. If they win three, they will be able to reach the league table with a goal difference. position.
At 4:30 p.m. local time on December 3rd, Germany, the 15th round of the Bundesliga round of the 2o11-2o12 season between Dortmund and Mönchengladbach was played at the Prussian Park Stadium, which can accommodate 54,000 fans.
Menchengladbach fans thought that if they could beat Dortmund with three goals at home, they would be on the league table, so the atmosphere called Derby in North Rhine-Westphalia was very fanatical.
It was really surprising that the tepid games of the previous two seasons became so fanatical. After all, Mönchengladbach is no longer the one that won the league championship in the 1970s.
Mentioned the results of this era, the older fans of Mönchengladbach are very proud, they almost dominated the German stadium at that time.
The Rockets Royce, who was named by Dortmund's coaching team before the game, is very good. He is not only extremely fast, but also has strong foot skills and shooting ability.
Less than five minutes after the game started, Royce relied on his strong personal ability to find opportunities, but his shot was rejected by the full-fledged Weidenfeller.
Two minutes later, Tang Zheng cut off Royce's ball through the cooperation of Sven Bend, but soon his ball was kicked out of the line by Royce who actively returned to the defense.
Tang Zheng accidentally glanced at Royce. In the past two seasons, he has not shown how powerful Royce is.
At the same time, Dortmund coach Klopp looked at the eye-catching Royce's eyes.
He had an understanding of Royce, was a member of the Dortmund youth team, but at that time Dortmund financial very difficult, had to peddle some youth team players.
Perhaps, before the opening of the winter transfer window, you can advise Zorke to consider buying Royce to strengthen the team lineup.
The team's entry into the UEFA Champions League top 16 is a matter of finality, plus the entire Bundesliga team is improving, and it is urgent to make up for the overall lineup if you want to defend the league championship.
This idea became more intense when he was injured and fell to the ground in the subsequent fight of Gros Kreuz!
The game restarted, both sides played very hard, and the atmosphere was very fanatical.
The heroic character of North Rhine-Westphalia 1un fans in this game is most vividly reflected in this game. From the perspective of fanaticism, it is no less than the German national derby.
Under the fanatical atmosphere of the game, this Bundesliga list battle also played extremely gold.
In the thirty-fourth minute, Mönchengladbach ’s absolute core Royce faced Sven Bender and Kyle ’s defensive choice after Luke broke through Tang Zheng.
His explosive power and intensity were most vividly reflected at this time. Sven Bend and Kyle slowed down half a beat, and he just let him burst through.
It was too late for Hummels to come up for defense. He directly chose a long shot in front of the top of the penalty area.
Football rushed towards the bottom right corner of the goal, the goalkeeper Weidenfeller's vision was blocked by Hummels. When he saw the football and fell to the ground, it was too late.
Mönchengladbach scored a goal at the Prussian Park stadium at home. The home fans were excited to dance like a child.
Be aware that they were still fighting for relegation last season. This season they can even rank second in the league. If they can defeat the visiting Dortmund in this game, they will tie the points with the list team Dortmund ...
But before the end of the first half, Humels used a corner kick to equalize the score, so that the hope of Mönchengladbach fans to get a three-pointer at home was shattered.
Because Humels' goal was also the last goal of the match, the two sides had a draw at the Prussian Park Stadium.
Two dogs fight, play off.
Dortmund and Mönchengladbach ended in a draw, defeating Stuttgart's Bayern Munich 2-1 at Bayern Munich to return to the league second, only two points behind Dortmund.
Dortmund's draw at Mönchengladbach away disappointed Klopp a lot, because this season's points gap is very different from that of last season's ride, and if you are not careful, you may miss the league title.
However, the result was a foregone conclusion. Klopp did not delve into the game too much. Instead, he returned to Dortmund and immediately went to the office of the sports director Zolke, suggesting that the team won the Dortmund youth team once this winter. Royce!
Zork glanced unexpectedly at Klopp: "I have to say, you are really visionary! Recently I was negotiating with Mönchengladbach to see if I could sign Marco Roy at the winter transfer window S. "
Heard this, Klopp rejuvenated.
Both are fast-talkers, since the club is interested in Royce, then the next thing is left to Zork.
The thing Klopp needs to do is to lead Dortmund to play all the games before the start of the winter break, and to ensure that the team wins the Bundesliga half-time champion.
Mid week, Dortmund was in the Lord
The game ushered in the last opponent of the Champions League group stage, Marseille.
Marseille, who lost to Olympiacos in the last round at home, has lost the chance to advance to the UEFA Champions League this season, so this game at Westfalu n Stadium sent a large number of bench players and young players.
The same is true of Dortmund at home, allowing the main players to take a good rest to prepare for the remaining three league games and the German Cup finals in December.
Finally, Dortmund won Marseille at home 2: o.
In the 2o11-2o12 season of the Champions League six rounds of the group stage, Dortmund achieved an undefeated record of four wins and two draws. They beat the British giant Arsenal with 14 points and ranked first in group f.
Won the group first, allowing them to successfully avoid the top giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Inter Milan in the 1/8 finals.
Despite this, the team that won the second place in the other group should not be underestimated.
Like Naples, Lyon, Zenit, and AC Milan, who stand out in the death group, are not idlers. It takes 100% or even 120% of the effort to advance to the next round.
And the team's accidentally second place Arsenal is not so lucky, they will most likely draw to strong teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and so on.
It is worth mentioning that this season the UEFA Champions League group stage also broke a lot of upsets. Manchester United, who entered the Champions League final last season, lost to Basel 1-2 in the last round away, thus missing the Champions League.
Since the Mansour family stayed in Manchester City, the funds invested in each season have been calculated in billions of pounds, but this season they still have no way to stand out from the death group.
The other upset came from Group G. The Greeks originally thought to be from Cyprus were the fish team of this group. As a result, they beat Zenit and Porto and ranked first in the group, breaking out of Manchester United. The biggest upset in the UEFA Champions League.
Among these 16 teams, Serie A and Bundesliga are the most shortlisted, with three teams respectively.
There are two teams from England, La Liga and Russia, and the remaining four are from Russia, Switzerland, Ligue 1 and Cyprus League.
The 2o11-2o12 season UEFA Champions League group stage is all over, but the 1/8 final draw will have to wait until the UEFA Cup group stage is over, so each active UEFA Champions League top 16 team can temporarily put their attention back to the league.
Before Dortmund's home match against Kaiserslautern, at one o'clock in the afternoon on December 10th, German local time, the official website of the Italian authoritative newspaper "Turin Sports News" was updated with a prominent position of the 2o11 European Golden Boy winner.
Played for Dortmund's German international Mario Goetze, who was only 19 years old, won the award.
And Geze is also a Dortmund active player who won the honor again after Tang Zheng who won the European Golden Boy Award in 2oo9.
Perhaps it was the reason why he was successfully elected to the European Golden Boy Awards. Goetze was in the league against Kaiserslautern. He scored two goals alone, and one of the goals came from Tang Zheng ’s direct assists.
Finally, Dortmund beat Kaiserslautern 2-1 at home.
Four days later, Dortmund played the fourth round of the Bundesliga 2o11-2o12 season at Bayer Arena and Leverkusen.
After ninety minutes of fierce battle, Leverkusen, who was at home, made a controversial penalty kick with a 2: 2 draw against Dortmund with injury time.
However, Dortmund still ranked 11th in the league with 16 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss and 37 points. Bayern Munich ranked second with a three-point difference, and Schalke o4 ranked third with 31 points. Gladbach fell to fourth in the league because of a losing streak.
Penalties were extremely controversial, and the referee naturally became the focus of everyone, but Klopp ’s regular news conference after the game did not speak to reporters, but changed the topic, saying that he was more concerned about the UEFA headquarters in Nigeria tomorrow afternoon. Weng conducted the 1/8 finals of the Champions League in the 2o11-2o12 season.
Dortmund returned to the Champions League after nine years and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League as a group leader, paying more attention to the lottery ceremony.
Similarly, the mainstream European media is also very concerned about the draw tomorrow afternoon.
Chinese media have always been paying attention to the top European Champions League. Now that Dortmund, represented by Tang Zheng, is participating, they have become more enthusiastic.
According to the same group and the same football association avoidance rules, all six opponents that Dortmund may encounter were analyzed by the enthusiastic Chinese media.
There is no doubt that no matter which group is the first, I hope to meet Basel who won the group second.
According to their analysis, the chance of Dortmund drawing to Basel is not very big ...
At 12 noon on December 16, European local time, the 2o11-2o12 season Champions League 1/8 finals and the UEFA Cup 1/16 finals were played at UEFA headquarters Nyon.
The Dortmund club was attended by head coach Klopp and sports director Zork.
The UEFA Champions League 1/8 final draw ceremony was first addressed by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino as the host ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and then reviewed the wonderful highlights of the 16 UEFA Champions League promotion teams, followed by UEFA Competition Director Ma Kai Ti introduced the draw rules for the Champions League 1/8 finals.
Paul Brettner, a member of the West German championship team in 1974, came to the scene as a draw guest. Lyon was the first team to be drawn by him.
However, Lyon ’s luck was very good, they got all the Greeks that all the teams dreamed of drawing.
The second group drawn was Naples, and they reached the heroic Chelsea.
When the third group pulled out second, the lottery scene became obviously tense, because it was the Serie A giants; although ac Milan is not the ac Milan that the Champions League is desperate, but no team dare to underestimate them. , Even better than Real Madrid and Bayern.
At this time, the live director had a very meaningful switch scene and swept through the three giants of Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Obviously according to the UEFA lottery ‘rules’, these three teams are most likely to draw; as expected!
UEFA Secretary-General Infantino's mouth was slightly raised, turning over the plastic paper strip taken out of the small ball made by the UEFA Champions League five-star logo. At the same time, Hong Zhong said, "Dortmund!"
The camera was given to the Dortmund club staff again, and Klopp and Zork's expressions were obviously stiff.
Because one of the teams they are most reluctant to encounter is ac Milan!
