Vol 2 Chapter 184: Yellow and Black Youth Storm vs. Space Team

In the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League, two death teams were selected, which surprised the media to a certain extent, especially Manchester City, which has always been antagonizing the UEFA New Deal. They have Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Naples in the same group.
The four teams drawn to Group A all have the strength to qualify, a veritable super death group.
The 2010-2011 season Bundesliga champion Dortmund is not much better. They are in Group F, with Arsenal, Marseille and Olympiacos in the same group.
Except for Olympiacos, who served as a fish-belly team in the UEFA Champions League group stage all year round, it is difficult to compete for a qualifying place. Others, whether it is Dortmund, Arsenal, or Marseille, have the strength to obtain qualifications.
What makes the German media less reassuring is that the Bundesliga champion Dortmund has no UEFA experience except Pirlo and Kyle in the UEFA Champions League. Head coach Klopp does the same.
And Kyle's participation in the Champions League is also traced back to nine years ago, that is his second season in Dortmund, he and Dortmund, apart from this European top league for nine years, it means that the only player with Champions League experience is Pirlo !
After the draw results were all out, UEFA officials Infantino also announced the specific time of the six rounds of the group stage. The first round of the group stage was held on September 13/14, and the second round was held on September 27/28. The third round is on October 18/19, the fourth round is on November 1/2, the fifth round is on November 22/23, and the final round is on December 6/7.
Dortmund ’s first group match nine years after the Champions League is at 8:45 p.m. local time in Germany on September 13th, they face Arsenal in Westfalun.
Dortmund fans sitting in front of the TV can't wait for the UEFA Champions League to come. As the winner of the Champions League, they hope the team's second peak will come again!
At the same time, the heads of the top ten organizations in the South Stand of Westphalun Stadium gathered together. After determining their opponents in the group stage, they intensively discussed the return to the first home layout of the Champions League.
The next day, the focus of the mainstream European media was basically on two places, the first was the two death groups, and the second was the prospects of the national league teams.
Of course, there is also a lot of media focus on the upcoming European Super Cup.
Dortmund's performance in the past 2010-2011 season was eye-catching and unbeaten throughout the season. If it were not for the second round away from the Bundesliga 2011-2012 season to Hoffenheim, they will create more league unbeaten records.
In the past 2010-2011 season, Dortmund may not be the team with the most goals in the top five leagues in Europe, but it is definitely the best defensive team. They only lost 17 goals in the 34-round league.
Among them, eighteen league zero-match opponents, which means that Dortmund's zero-block rate is as high as 52%.
And their offensive ability should not be underestimated. In the 34th round of the league, they scored an astonishing 72 goals, averaging 2.11 goals per game, which is only 0.39 fewer than the 2.5 goals per game of the Universe Barcelona.
Considering the particularity of La Liga, the gap between rich and poor is not particularly obvious. Bundesliga is obviously more convincing.
Regardless of the difference in fame between the two teams, the opponents of the 2011 European Super Cup are their respective league champions, the pinnacle of the Bundesliga and La Liga, so the degree of attention is very high.
Tang Zheng's performance in the 2010-2011 season was extremely eye-catching. It was Dortmund's number one contributor to various championships and was naturally the player most talked about by the media.
The Catalan media "World Sports News" talked about Tang Zheng: "Josep's team was unprecedented last season, but they can't be taken lightly. The Bundesliga champions last season were menacing, and they were the top five European leagues last season The team with the fewest goals conceded cannot be underestimated ... "
In fact, most European media set the tone of the European Super Cup as the strongest spear and shield.
Whether it was Barcelona's strong offensive ability to win the final victory, or Dortmund's watertight defense laughed to the end.
However, the German media has some concerns. This season's Dortmund is slightly different from last season.
Shaxin, who has both offense and defense, runs away, and his veteran Pirlo is difficult to play the role of Shahin last season. That is to say, the strongest shield of the European Super Cup in 2011 is a bit watery, not like last season. That's dripping.
Dortmund fans are not worried, they are full of confidence in the next European Super Cup.
※※※
As early as the 2011-2012 season UEFA Champions League draw, there are many media concerned about the European Super Cup, especially the German media, Spanish media and Chinese media.
Although the European Super Cup is as tasteless as the Super Cup in every country, it is also an honor in the final analysis, and no one will refuse.
Since the restructuring in 1998, the Bundesliga team has not touched the so-called tasteless European Super Cup.
The last time the Bundesliga team participated in the European Super Cup dates back to ten years ago, when the Champions League champion Bayern Munich lost to the UEFA Champions League Liverpool 2: 3.
Looking up again, it's shocking!
Because the Bundesliga team has not won the European Super Cup!
Bayern, Dortmund, Hamburg all collapsed ...
Among them, the two teams fought 14 years ago. At the time, the Champions League champion Dortmund lost to Barcelona at home and away with a total score of 1: 3.
This is a huge shame for the Bundesliga, so playing in this European Super Cup Dortmund must bear the dignity of defending the Bundesliga.
But in the past three seasons, Barcelona has been called the Cosmos team, and the spread of control has swept across Europe.
However, there are media that are very optimistic about Dortmund, they also have a high position of oppression that makes the offensive feel helpless.
Dortmund is high pressure + high counterattack, and Guardiola is high pressure + ball control, but the ultimate goal is to send the ball into the opponent's goal, it is a kind of the same thing.
The next advantage is the self-confidence of the German media, because Dortmund lost the ball last season is the team with the least goals in the five major leagues in Europe.
Dortmund is not afraid of the opponent's offense, as long as the middle road led by Tang Zheng can withstand the penetration of Barcelona, ​​plus Pirlo's strategy behind him, how difficult is it to win?
Perhaps feeling the confidence of the German media, the Catalan media led by "Daily Sports" and "World Sports" said that the success rate of high oppression lies in the opponent's technical ability, and the personal skills of the Barcelona players can be called Top, even Dortmund's high pressure to sweep the entire Bundesliga, there is no way to deter Barcelona.
In contrast to Dortmund, the technical ability of the players at the foot of the team is not particularly good, it is likely to be educated by Barcelona in the next European Super Cup ...
In response, the local media in Dortmund was not happy, and they fought back.
The players on both sides are very restrained. Sanchez, who has just joined Barcelona, ​​is even tweeting at Ai Tang Zheng, looking forward to each other's first matchup!
※※※
The Chinese media are not very concerned about the results of the game, they only focus on Tang Zheng's performance in the first European Super Cup of Chinese players.
On the day of the game, four hours before the start of the game, a large number of fans gathered outside the square of Louis II Stadium.
Local Monaco fans, Dortmund fans across the ocean and Barcelona fans also have many fans who specifically support their national players.
Because of the large base, Chinese fans are particularly dazzling outside the square.
Coupled with the five-star red flag on their shoulders on the red background, it is arguably the most dazzling presence.
The cooperation between CC5 and UEFA has been very stable. They firmly control the exclusive broadcast rights in mainland China. There are many CCTV reporters who came to Monaco this time.
Both ace commentaries He Wei and Duan Xuan both came to Monaco to comment on the European Super Cup.
Two hours before the start of the game, the two sides of the game took the bus to the designated location of the Louis II stadium.
The capacity of the Louis II stadium is only 18,500 people, and the capacity of the Westfa Lun stadium and the Camp Nou stadium has reached more than 80,000, so many fans on both sides are destined not to enter the stadium.
So, when the players arrived on the court by bus, it was these fans who had come from afar but had no tickets to see the players with their own eyes.
Dortmund fans have always been known for their enthusiasm, and they are also the same when they come to Monaco this time.
"Aoao--"
A large number of loyal fans broke out in the tsunami-like roar before Dortmund took the bus.
The first to get down from the bus was Klopp, followed by assistant coaches Jericho Bovac and Peter Kravitz, who gave thumbs up to the fans.
The players walked out of the bus one by one. They were carrying shoulder bags and wearing headphones, and waved to the fanatic fans with a smile.
"Tang--"
When Tang Zheng came out of the bus, the high voice of the mountain tsunami had the meaning of shaking the mountain.
Tang Zheng smiled and waved towards Dortmund fans and Chinese fans coming from afar, while patting his left chest.
Indicate that you are there and the winning ticket is in your hands!
A large number of journalists surrounded by stadium security staff kept pressing the shutter button to shoot valuable materials that will be available in the future.
As all Dortmund players entered the stadium, the fans slowly dispersed and headed to the huge LCD screen outside the square, waiting for the game to begin.
At the same time, on the other side of the stadium, Barcelona took the bus to the stadium ...

"This stadium is really small."
Lewandowski had just emerged from the passageway of the Louis II stadium and watched the four stands blurting out.
Tang Zheng bent over to tie his shoelaces and looked up at the stadium that hosted the European Super Cup. His eyebrows slightly raised.
This stadium is really small.
However ... the small stadium also has the advantage of a small stadium.
Barcelona is good at passing and likes to use the width of the stadium.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng patted Lewandowski and Goetze on the shoulders and said, "Don't sigh with the size of the stadium. Our task is to beat Barcelona, ​​and the small stadium is not necessarily a bad thing for us."
"Don't be dazed, guys! Warm up! GOGOGO--"
The physical coach Oliver Bartlett, who just came out of the player's channel, raised his voice and clapped his hands hard.
Dortmund players, like the piglet being driven, started to warm up.
At this time, the starting list of both sides of the game was announced.
Barcelona sent the strongest team, goalkeeper Valdes, four defenders Alves, Mascherano, Abidal and Adriano, three midfielders are Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, three The strikers are MVP combinations Messi, Villa and Pedro.
Dortmund considers that the stadium of Louis II is too small, the skills of Barcelona players are delicate, the technical and tactics of this game have changed, and it is not as full of ambiguity as the Bundesliga and the Europa League last season.
For this reason, Pirlo can only sit on the bench.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, four defenders Schmeltzer, Subotic, Humels and Piszick, double backs Gondoan partner Sven Bend, Tang Zheng is slightly ahead, two The famous wingers are Goetze and Gross Kreuz, with Lewandowski at the top.
Barcelona's starting lineup didn't surprise everyone, what surprised people was Dortmund's starting lineup.
German Sky commentator Marcel Leif expressed his understanding: "Andre Pirlo is on the bench? Is Jurgen Klopp preparing to replicate the technical and tactical play of last season? Ilka The characteristics of Yi Gondoan are indeed similar to Nuri Sahin, but the experience of switching to Real Madrid Nuri Sahin is more rich ... "
The Catalan TV commentator saw Dortmund's starting lineup and gave a judgment: "-que!"
The Chinese meaning is: find death!
Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at the starting list in his hand and talked about his concerns: "Barcelona's starting lineup has only been adjusted in one place, that is, Adriano replaced the central defender Pike who was missing due to injury. Just like the Champions League final at the New Wembley Stadium this summer, such a cosmic team is really frightening. Dortmund's starting lineup is bold and strong, but youth is their biggest problem ... "
Compared to experienced Barcelona, ​​Dortmund's lineup is indeed too young, with an average age of only 23 years.
In contrast, Barcelona, ​​the average age is 27 years old.
In the eyes of football experts, the 27-year-old is at the peak of his career.
Can young Dortmund beat experienced Barcelona?
The game didn't start, and the result was naturally unknown.
But in the eyes of many people, Barcelona has already won half.
Tang Zheng doesn't think so, and Dortmund fans don't think so.
In China, although there is a sentence called or old spicy, there are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers and chaotic punches.
Long before the game, he instilled these ideas into his teammates.
Moreover, they did not play against Barcelona, ​​more from news and video!
You say you are a space team, but many people call us a youth storm!
The warm-up time will continue to be controlled at forty minutes, and players from both sides will return to the locker room in batches to prepare for the next Super Cup.
