Vol 2 Chapter 183: Champions League death group


"Congratulations! Obtained Mr. German Football, by the way ... any expression?"
"Don, you guys who were really elected German footballer, I don't care, I have to treat you!"
"If you don't invite you, you won't cooperate with you! If you don't cooperate with you, you can't perform! If you don't perform well, you will be laid off ..."
"..."
It was no surprise that Tang Zheng won the German footballer for the 2010-2011 season. His teammates congratulated him before the training started the next day.
In this regard, Tang Zheng gave a white eye.
Where are these guys congratulations?
Obviously it is through this gimmick to ‘extortion’!
Subsequently, the coaching team headed by Klopp also expressed congratulations, fully showing the brotherhood between the coach and the players.
However, the new season is coming, Klopp's attention is returned to the league preparations, as the defending champions they will start the 2011-2012 season Bundesliga opener at home.
The opener, which has received much attention, naturally needs to be performed well, otherwise the media's out-of-the-box pen skills are not a joke.
Moreover, the sooner the coexistence problem between Tang Zheng and Pirlo is solved, the better. Otherwise, once the Champions League comes next month, the impact on the team will become greater.
In fact, in Klopp's mind, Tang Zheng's comprehensiveness cannot be buried.
Pirlo's organizational and scheduling capabilities cannot be ignored either, which means that there is no bridge between the two.
And Dortmund's high position pressure formed last season can not be lost. In the case of Pirlo's physical fitness problems, the other two players in the middle of the road must have super physical reserves.
At the age of 31, Kyle has a good physical reserve, and there are also Sven Bender and Gundogan in the bench. They are young and strong guys. The average distance of running last season was close to 12,000 kilometers. Second only to Tang Zheng.
Coupled with the excellent young players such as Gros Kreuz, Kuba, Goetze, it is also possible to reproduce the glory of last season ...
What worries Klopp is the team's ability to break the goal of the new season. Barrios, who participated in the Copa America in Paraguay this summer, injured a muscle tear in the inner thigh.
For Barrios, the strain in this position is not the first time, so Klopp is worried whether he will have a muscle strain after his return.
After all, situations like muscle strains are prone to repeated attacks and affect the player's condition.
Dortmund in the 2011-2012 season but want to participate in the more influential Champions League, if the former main center can not guarantee the state, then Klopp should take the lead.
It's just that the current financial situation of the team is not ideal, and it is unrealistic to want to buy a strong center ...
So in Klopp's tactics, Tang Zheng's role becomes more important.
Last season, he was able to score 34 goals and 35 assists in various competitions. He believes that Tang Zheng can also get amazing data this season as long as there is a problem, and there is something like Pirlo behind him. Super cannonball output hand.
Of course, all tactics still exist only in theory, and the actual implementation still needs to wait for training to make up, otherwise everything is empty talk.
※※※
In Klopp's heart, Tang Zheng's absolute core position is unshakable. He is worried that Pirlo will produce dissatisfaction.
But as Klopp noticed that Tang Zheng and Pirlo often practiced together, this kind of worry slowly became redundant.
After two training sessions a day, Klopp stopped Pirlo: "Andrea, I have something to tell you."
In fact, Pirlo guessed a little bit of the intention of head coach Klopp.
Since resuming training last month, Klopp's tactical play has been a bit awkward, especially for players like Pirlo who have extremely experienced game experience and are very sensitive.
Tang Zheng's ability is comprehensive, and it is the kind of existence that is outstanding in all aspects. Even sometimes he will be envious and jealous.
However, Pirlo is no longer Pirlo a few years ago, and his heart has grown a lot, and he has also learned that serving teammates is the king after changing to the back. The so-called absolute core position is all floating clouds, otherwise he will not be in the beginning. Klopp promised to make up his mind for the main position.
Because he needs the main position, not the absolute core position.
Moreover, to his current age, playing Absolute Core in Dortmund will be somewhat overwhelming.
Recently, he has been training for physical strengthening, in order to be able to keep up with the overall rhythm of the team as soon as possible.
So when Klopp took the initiative to talk to Pirlo about his core position, he was very surprised. Pirlo did not mean to be an absolute core.
Klopp felt speechless for this.
If he knew this, he should have communicated with Pirlo.
If there is communication, the German Super Cup is not Leverkusen ...

At 7:40 pm on August 5th, local time in Germany, the 2011-2012 season Bundesliga kicked off.
The defending champion Dortmund faced the veteran powerhouse Hamburg at home at Westfalun Stadium, and this game is also the opener of the 2011-2012 season.
Before the game, the Korean media was a little excited.
South Korea ’s post-90s teenager Sun Xingmin will most likely start in the 2011-2012 season Bundesliga opener, because in the past 2010-2011 season, Sun Xingmin played 13 league games on behalf of Hamburg, scoring three goals, the performance can be Remarkable.
At the age of nineteen, he was optimistic about the Korean media. The Korean media considered Sun Xingmin to be a super player in Korean football in 50 years. His future achievements may not only surpass the legendary South Korean star Park Ji-sung, but also likely to replace Tang Zheng to become the first in Asia Star!
In fact?
Sun Xingmin didn't even appear in the 18-man roster in Hamburg, so the Korean media who came to Dortmund were ridiculed by the Chinese media, thinking they knew they were bragging.
Can a young player who can't even enter the big roster, replace Tang Zheng's status?
What international joke?
The Dortmund faction in Westfalun has the strongest lineup, with goalkeeper Weidenfeller, defenders Schmelzer, Santana, Humels and Piscek.
The combination of double back waist is Pirlo and Sven Bend, Tang Zheng takes the front waist.
On both sides were Goetze and Grosskreuz, with Lewandowski at the top.
It is worth mentioning that before the game started, Rena Holzshu, editor-in-chief of "Kicker" magazine, presented the trophy for the 2010-2011 season of the German footballer to the captain of Tang Zheng in Dortmund.
"Aoao--"
More than 70,000 Dortmund fans on the scene burst into cheers for Tang Zheng's selection in recognition of his contribution to the club.
Although Klopp's tactics have not been perfected in this game, Lidortmund still beat Hamburg 3-1 at home to win the first victory at the beginning of the season.
Tang Zheng didn't score a goal, but had an assist, and the penalty opportunity that should belong to him was given to Pirlo who joined the team, so Pirlo scored his first goal in Dortmund.
The next day, the 2011-2012 season Bundesliga kicked off.
Surprisingly, there were two upsets. The biggest dark horse Mainz at the beginning of the league last season was 2: 0 at home and last week the Bundesliga runner-up Leverkusen.
Another upset is Bayern Munich's 0: 1 home defeat to Monchengladbach, who stayed in the Bundesliga with the promotion and relegation last season.

With Dortmund winning Hamburg at home, they have increased the number of consecutive undefeated league games to thirty-nine, surpassing the thirty-eight long league unbeaten record set by the Royal Society from April 1979 to May 1980, becoming The third unbeaten record in the top five European leagues, second only to the unbeaten ac Milan in 58 league games and the unbeaten Arsenal in 49 league games.
Dortmund took Hamburg in the first round, causing many media and fans to have the illusion that Dortmund this season will be as good as last season.
As a result, in the second round of the away challenge to Hoffenheim, the league was a hit!
In the eighth minute of the game, Pirlo moved a little slower, kicking the Brazilian teenager Firmino who completed the breakthrough.
Salihović took the free kick to take a direct free kick in the upper left corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller was unreachable.
And this goal is the only goal in the game.
As the league champion last season, Dortmund lost to Hoffenheim away to stop the league's undefeated momentum, many media stand out to pick up.
Pirlo who sent a direct free kick was the most direct victim, followed by Klopp.
Of course, Klopp as the head coach is the first to bear the brunt.
After the regular press conference after the game, Klopp took the initiative to bear all the pressure again, saying: "It is my responsibility to lose the game. It has nothing to do with the players. The players in Hoffenheim performed well and the victory deservedly deserved ..."
Despite the pressure of losing the game on Pirlo and head coach Klopp, Tang Zheng also had some pressure. When Pirlo was restricted, he failed to connect the midfield and frontcourt offensively, so that the team was turned from defense to defense. There is no way to organize an effective attack.
In the final analysis, it is still not enough to bring in the new aid.
However, in Tang Zheng's mind, this is the direct reason for his lack of strength.
Pirlo, who did not perform well enough, also took a hit, trying to prove himself in the next round of the league!
Klopp knew the team's problem through this game.
Pirlo's playing style is soft, and the rate is slower with age. The team should start before he is oppressed. The tactics should be equipped with a bodyguard and a response point to solve the soft style and Problems exposed at a slow rate.
In this way, Tang Zheng's coverage area becomes wider and the responsibility is greater.

A week later, the third round of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season kicked off at Westfalun Stadium. Dortmund played at home against Nuremberg, currently ranked ninth in the league.
Although Dortmund lost to Hoffenheim in the last round to end the winning streak, the media is quite optimistic about the defending champions, and the three major European gaming companies also opened a half and a half, winning 1: 1.28, tying 1: 4.89, losing 1: 9.41 odds.
This shows how Dortmund is optimistic.
The final result also proved how good their vision was. In the ninety minute battle, the defending champion Dortmund defeated Nuremberg at home 3: 0. Tang Zheng scored the first goal of the new season through a corner attack and also contributed one time. Assists.
In the past three rounds of the league, defending champion Dortmund did not occupy the top position from the beginning as last season. They are now ranked sixth in the league with two wins and one loss.
Nuremberg in this game hopes to replicate Hoffenheim's success, but head coach Klopp is fully prepared to add a bodyguard and reception point next to Pirlo in the soft position.
In the offensive, coupled with Tang Zheng's retreat response, which formed the Iron Triangle combination of Pirlo, Kyle and Tang Zheng, making it difficult for Nuremberg's defensive system to play a limiting role.
Goetze and Lewandowski, who responded, both have certain organizational capabilities, especially the native Dortmund Goetze. His organizational capabilities are sufficient to cope with the offensive pressure brought about by Tang Zheng's retreat.
Once Tang Zheng was involved in the offensive, Dortmund's offensive was destroyed, making people unpredictable.
In the end, Dortmund beat Nuremberg at home.
Next, according to the schedule, Dortmund should challenge Leverkusen in the next round of the Bayer Arena in the next round, but due to the European Super Cup, they postponed the next round of the league and prepared ahead of schedule for the 2010-2011 season Champions League Barcelona ’s European Super cup.
Thinking of Barcelona, ​​Tang Zheng naturally clenched his fists.
Barcelona is not unreasonable to be called the Universe team. They created multiple La Liga records last season, the longest winning streak, the most goals scored in La Liga away, and five goals at home against Real Madrid, winning the Champions League in two years. ...
Two days before the European Super Cup, the Dortmund team flew to Monaco to prepare for the European Super Cup.
Before the European Super Cup started, the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League group draw was held at the Monaco International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Dortmund was the Bundesliga champion in the 2010-2011 season, but they were nine years away from the UEFA Champions League. Even if they won the UEFA Cup last season, their European points were limited, and the team ranked fourth.
Some media talked before the game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If you count the second grade ac Milan and the third grade Manchester City, this season's Champions League is very likely to form a super death group.
Of course, this possibility is very small.
Because once the draw result is in accordance with this situation, the group stage is certainly good-looking, but the elimination of two teams with the competitiveness of the Champions League will affect the wonderful level of the knockout stage, so this possibility is very small.
Captain Kyle had some minor injuries and did not come to Monaco with the team, so second captain Tang Zheng followed head coach Klopp to the Monaco International Convention and Exhibition Center to participate in the 2011-2012 season UEFA Champions League draw.
The 2011-2012 season UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony, defending champion Barcelona is undoubtedly the most shining presence, they won most of the awards.
In the subsequent group draw, Dortmund did not draw into the super death group, but did draw into the ordinary death group.
Dortmund and Arsenal, Marseille and Olympiacos were drawn to Group f.
In addition to Olympiacos being difficult to qualify, Arsenal, Marseille and Dortmund are all likely to qualify ...
