Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich at home did not come as much of a surprise. After all, Bayern Munich will play a very important Champions League semi-final first-leg match in the middle of next week.

Compared with the illusory league championship, the Champions League championship is obviously more attractive.

Therefore, as a guest, Bayern Munich did not line up the full main lineup, but let the core players get a full rest and prepare for the first round of the Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena in the middle of next week.

After defeating Bayern Munich at home, Dortmund's league points reached 75 points. They are seven points away from the 82 points they created last season, which means that they only need to score eight points in the next four rounds of the league. .

According to the schedule, Dortmund is very likely to get eight points, and if the game goes well, it is very likely to get twelve points.

The remaining four league matches are away to Schalke 04, home to Borussia Mönchengladbach, away to Kaiserslautern and home to Freiburg.

After 30 rounds of the league, Schalke 04 ranks third in the league with 57 points, and Borussia Mönchengladbach ranks fourth in the league with 53 points.

Kaiserslautern is at the bottom of the league with 20 points, nine points away from Cologne, which is third from the bottom in the league. There should be no suspense about direct relegation this season.

Freiburg ranks fourteenth in the league with 35 points, five points ahead of Cologne, which is third to last in the league, and relegation is not a big problem.

Moreover, the league situation in the last two games between Dortmund, Kaiserslautern and Freiburg is basically clear. The teams that should be directly relegated have already been directly relegated, and those who should complete relegation should also complete relegation.

It is equivalent to saying that Kaiserslautern and Freiburg are likely to become Dortmund's point boy, with six points secured.

As for the remaining two points, it is not a problem to get them from Schalke 04 and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

If it goes well, six points are not too much.

Only the problem appeared in the next league clash, Dortmund challenged Schalke 04 at the Veltins Arena.

Interestingly, according to the calculation of the European War points so far this season, the Bundesliga European War points will surpass Serie A to reach the third place in the European League after the end of the season. The number of entries is 3+1.

The top three in the league will directly advance to the top 32 of the UEFA Champions League, and the fourth will play in the fourth qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

Currently ranked third in the league, Schalke 04 is four points ahead of fourth place Borussia Mönchengladbach. There are still four rounds left in the league, and there are still certain risks. A heavy game.

Because Borussia Mönchengladbach played at home against Cologne, the third last in the league at the same time, the chances of winning are very high.

To get a place in the Champions League next season, Schalke 04 must at least not lose at home.

But considering the particularity of the Ruhr Derby, Schalke 04, who are playing at home, cannot be discouraged.

While the German media is paying attention to the first-leg Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the middle of the week, they are also paying attention to the Ruhr Derby at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen on the weekend.

At the same time, the Chinese media also paid considerable attention to the Ruhr Derby.

However, the Chinese media paid attention to this game not only because of the direct confrontation between the two Chinese players, Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, but more importantly, after Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich at home, the head coach Klopp mentioned that he would promote young people.

Dortmund's defending league title has lost its suspense. Klopp only needs to pay attention to the German Cup final against Bayern Munich at the end of the season. The remaining four league games are not particularly important. Training new players has become his focus.

Young players such as Koch, Leitner, and Kinchek will be trained, but these players are not the focus of the Chinese media.

It was Lu Liang, a Chinese teenager who jumped into Dortmund's U19 youth team at the age of seventeen.

This monstrous winger who was discovered by Tang Zheng at his alma mater became a rising star that the Chinese media paid considerable attention to.

If nothing else, Borussia Dortmund will be on the bench in the 31st round of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season when they challenge rival Schalke 04 away, and experience the fanatical atmosphere of the Bundesliga for the first time.

During Dortmund's team training for the away game against Schalke 04, the 17-year-old Chinese winger Lu Liang appeared in the first team training ground.

Like all young players drawn to the first team, he was excited and overwhelmed.

Luckily, there was the big brother Tang Zheng in the team. Before Lu Liang's first training session started, Tang Zheng put Lu Liang's shoulders on the shoulders of Lu Liang, who was less than 1.8 meters tall, and half-jokingly said to his teammates: "This is my Little brother, take care of me."

Actually, Tang Zheng didn't need to say much.

Tang Zheng is the most important part of Dortmund, there are many things needless to say, Lu Liang who was discovered by Tang Zheng to Dortmund will naturally receive good treatment.

During training, Lu Liang had Tang Zheng, the big brother, constantly feeding the ball, and he integrated into the team very quickly.

His left foot with a strong sense of rhythm inside the dribble and even Piszczek had an illusion - this is Robben.

Head coach Klopp is very satisfied with the young Chinese player recommended by Ricken, the director of youth training. He really didn't expect that besides Tang Zheng, there would be a young player with such outstanding talent in China.

Only then did he realize that the football desert is not really a desert, and there are still many young talents in China who have not been discovered.

Klopp had some acquaintance with Tang Zheng, and Lu Liang was just an alumnus junior Tang Zheng discovered by accident.

China has a vast land and abundant resources, isn't there any other young players with outstanding talents?

impossible!

So Klopp decided that this summer he could promise CEO Watzke to let the team go to China to play commercial games, to see if he could find other talented young Chinese players.

It is worth mentioning that Barrios, who has been injured for a long time this season and has no way to play the starting position, has already had the idea of ​​leaving. It is said that the club most likely to become Barrios' next home is Guangzhou Kaiserslautern, known as the Chinese Super League. Evergrande.

The German media focused on the content of the competition, while the Chinese media focused on the performance of Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin.

In addition, it would be even more perfect if the 17-year-old Lu Liang could get a chance to come off the bench.

At the beginning of the game, Schalke 04, who played at home, was obviously more aggressive. They broke through Dortmund's high pressure through continuous passes, and then took the lead in completing the first goal with the super dribbling ability of the talented teenager Draxler. .

Afterwards, Tang Zheng stepped up his defense against Draxler, and this Schalke 04 outstanding youth player entered stealth mode.

However, it was Schalke 04 who took the lead at home. Hao Junmin got the ball from the right and made a 45-degree pass to accurately find Huntelaar, who was hidden in the penalty area. The latter completed a dive and broke the deadlock. .

But the Schalke 04 fans in the stands were not happy for a long time and fell silent.

Two minutes later, Tang Zheng cut the ball off Draxler's feet, and then accurately found Royce, who was plugging in at high speed from the left, with a long pass of more than 50 meters.

After Royce made a lateral cut inward, he decisively went straight to the left side of the penalty area. Lewandowski, who followed up, assumed a true pass, and Gotze was able to hit an empty goal before the penalty spot.

The 1:1 score remained unchanged until the end of the first half.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Dortmund made substitution adjustments on both lines. Pirlo replaced Kuba.

This substitution took effect very quickly, and the direct effect of Tang Zheng's positional premise was that the pressure on Schalke 04's defensive players in the midfield increased greatly.

Tang Zheng broke through and won a direct free kick from a good position. Pirlo, who came off the bench, showed off his free kick skills in the Bundesliga.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper Unesthal was beyond his reach, and Dortmund overtook Schalke 04 in the away game.
