Dortmund's failure to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium made fans feel a pity, because the team they supported missed at least four absolute opportunities in the game, so many media described it as "bad away trip" Dortmund this season.

Apart from winning the away game in the German Cup at the beginning of the season, Dortmund has not won even a game so far this season.

Either flat or negative.

In addition, the German media also talked about Dortmund's scoring ability in the Champions League. They only scored two poor goals in the past two Champions League games, only more than Ajax, who ranked bottom in the same group.

It is worth mentioning that the two goals scored were all due to Tang Zheng's contribution, so Lewandowski, who has scored six goals in the league, has been questioned by the media to some extent, saying that he is in charge of the "wo liheng".

Of course, Tang Zheng was under the greatest pressure, he was the captain and the core.

On the weekend, Dortmund challenged Hannover 96 away, this is the seventh round of the Bundesliga in the 2012-2013 season.

Dortmund has performed poorly in the past six rounds of the league, with only three wins, two draws and one loss, accumulating 11 points, and is already seven points behind the leader Bayern Munich.

I don't know whether it is the curse of the consecutive away games, or the huge pressure of being seven points behind Bayern in the league. Dortmund drew 1:1 with Hannover 96 in the away game, and still has not opened the account of away wins this season.

Since Bayern defeated Hoffenheim 2-0 at home at the same time, it means that after seven rounds of the league, Bayern has led defending champion Dortmund by a full nine points...

You must know that the league has only started eight rounds!

Surprisingly, Frankfurt ranks second in the league. They have seven games, five wins, one draw and one loss with 16 points. Twelve points ranked fourth.

No one thought,

In the new season, Bayern Munich will win seven consecutive victories in one fell swoop. It seems that people can see the Dortmund team in the 2010-2011 season, and the league began to ride the dust.

From the end of August to the beginning of October, Dortmund failed to win a game in five away games in various competitions. As a result, head coach Klopp was pushed to the forefront by the media and became the target of public criticism.

Because no matter what happens to the team, the head coach is fully responsible.

Now whether it is the German local media or the European media, their focus is on Klopp, and some media even claim that Klopp has lost control of the locker room...

Fortunately, the two international match days are approaching, and the media's attention is no longer on Dortmund and coach Klopp. They pay more attention to the latest preparations of the national team.

But Klopp is not necessarily without pressure. The league at the end of the international match day is the Ruhr Derby. It is a game that must be won!

The opponent of the league leader Bayern is the newly promoted Dusseldorf. In the eyes of many media, the newly promoted is completely equal to three points.

If Dortmund can't beat Schalke O4 at home, the league points will be stretched to double digits.

If you want to defend the league championship, the probability is infinitely close to zero.

Bayern's performance this season is very eye-catching, and the overall state is full. After holding back for a whole season, it finally exploded!

Therefore, Klopp had to work overtime during the international match day to study the defensive loopholes of Schalke O4, which is currently third in the league, with his assistants.

The end of the 2012 European Cup also means that the European qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have begun.

During the international match day, the Chinese team had a World Cup qualifier and challenged Qatar away. It was considered by the Chinese media and mainstream Asian media that the Chinese team must win the opponent if they want to stand out from Group A.

However, Hao Junmin strained his soleus muscle in the seventh round of the league against Wolfsburg at home. After the team doctor's diagnosis and official confirmation, he will miss at least half a month of the game, which means that the next World Cup qualifiers Tang Zheng is the only thigh that the Chinese team relies on!

Injured before the key World Cup qualifiers, how many Chinese fans feel sorry, after all, the Ruhr Derby will be after the international match day.

Looking back at the World Cup preliminaries, the match between Qatar and the Chinese team will be at 8:25 pm on October 16th, Beijing time, which is 3:25 pm local time in Qatar.

The situation in Group A of the Asian Top Ten is more complicated. Except for Lebanon, which has a bye in this round, played four group games, the other four teams only played three games.

The South Korean team ranked first with seven points in three games, two wins and one draw, China ranked second with five points in three games, one win and two draws, and Qatar ranked third with four points in one win, one draw and one loss. What is surprising is the state of Australia In the downturn, there is no record of victory in three games, two draws and one loss, with two points at the bottom.

The reason is that Australia lost 0:1 to the original bottom team Lebanon in the last round of away games, which broke out a big upset in the top ten Asian games.

In this campaign, Australia, which is at the bottom of the group, played at home against South Korea, which made the Chinese media see the hope of the Chinese team ranking first in the group.

Because Australia, which has only two points in the past three rounds of the group, has no way out, they must beat South Korea at home, otherwise they will be out!

After finishing the league, Tang Zheng flew directly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Chinese team played a warm-up match with Saudi Arabia as a warm-up for the away game against Qatar.

When the Chinese team was preparing for the World Cup qualifiers in Riyadh, the domestic media reported that the current situation was extremely beneficial to the Chinese team. As long as they beat Qatar in an away game, they could directly qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by the domestic media, seemed quite low-key. Facing the poisonous milk presented by the media reporters, he said lightly: "Any game will have risks. There is no 100% sure-win game. It is true that beating Qatar away It will increase our points, but it is only an increase in points, there are half of the group stage, everything is possible."

On October 11th, the Chinese team played a friendly match with Saudi Arabia at the Prince Abdullah Stadium. After 90 minutes, the Chinese team, which drank the poisonous milk of the media, lost to Saudi Arabia 1:2. Zheng came off the bench in the second half. He took advantage of an opportunity to grab points in the penalty area to help the Chinese team regain a victory.

The Chinese team lost in the away game, and the domestic media looked very ugly. They made hype about the Chinese team before the game, thinking that the victory against Saudi Arabia was effortless.

The results of it?

If it wasn't for Tang Zheng's substitute savior, it is very likely that the away game would be 0:2.

But head coach Camacho did not complain about the team's loss. Instead, he said in an interview with the media that the loss of the game was more like a timely rain.

Why?

The Chinese team is currently ranked second in Group A of the Asian Top Ten Tournament, which has somewhat boosted the confidence of the international football team.

Having confidence is often a good thing, but sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing.

Everyone knows that if you lose the warm-up match, you will lose, but if you lose the official game, the problem will be big...

Australia and South Korea are the favorite teams to advance from the group stage. The direct competitors of the Chinese team are Qatar and Lebanon. The current situation in Group A is stalemate, and the Chinese team should beat their biggest competitors.

Otherwise, the loss will bring about a reversal in the ranking of the competitor Qatar, and it will be very difficult to wait until the second half to catch up.

Moreover, in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team will lack the right wing general Hao Junmin. Tang Zheng's swing alone is far from enough, so it is very important for other players to maintain confidence while maintaining a normal mind.

The away loss to Saudi Arabia made the careless internationals realize that any opponent should not be underestimated.

Australia, which lost 0:1 to Lebanon in the last round of away games, is the best example for reference.

Moreover, the Chinese team has not yet reached the point of suspiciously underestimating their opponents.

The focus of the fifth round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten Tournament Group A kicked off at the Al Sadd Stadium in Qatar. Qatar hosted the Chinese team, which is currently ranked second in the group.

The two teams have played against each other 12 times in history except for the Asian Games, which has little reference value. China has the upper hand with five wins, four draws and three losses. However, in the past three games, the Chinese team has no wins, two draws and one loss.

The last confrontation between the two teams was at the Qatar Asian Cup at the beginning of last year. The Chinese team lost 0:2 to Qatar.

Head coach Camacho didn't pay attention to historical records. He was more concerned about the bad weather in Qatar. Therefore, the team focused on defensive counterattacks. Tang Zheng, the only player who played in the top five European leagues, played double midfielder with Zheng Zhi.

This time Tang Zheng didn't feel any unhappiness in his heart, the away game was supposed to be low-key, especially the consecutive away games he encountered in Dortmund this season made him realize the importance of low-key.

Moreover, the current Qatar team is no longer the previous Qatar team. Their midfield core No. 10 Haidos is very capable and can pass suddenly.

Coupled with the naturalized Uruguayan player Sebastian, it is always safe to base on defense first.

It is worth mentioning that Sebastian was once a student of the Real Madrid youth training camp, that is, Castilla, and did not return to Uruguay until he was 20 years old.

But only one year later, he joined Al Garafa and Qatar SC successively, especially in Qatar SC, where he stayed for eight years.

Playing in the Qatar League for a long time also allowed Sebastian to be eligible to join the Qatar national team. Qatar's ability to enter the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup last year had a lot to do with him.

The reason why Camacho chose Tang Zheng to partner with Zheng Zhi was to limit Haydos and Sebastian, and prevent them from being too much tested against Feng Xiaoting and Liu Jian's central defender combination.

Judging from the first half of the game, the effect was not bad.

Qatar's attack from the center has been filtered by Tang Zheng, and it is already equivalent to no threat.

They also thought about finding Sebastian with a cross from the side, but Tang Zheng's position selection is often very good, often in Qatar with the intention of kicking the ball from the side, he quickly receives it into the penalty area.

Sebastian was even annoyed by Tang Zheng's consecutive clearances. The Malaysian referee Muhammad decisively gave him a yellow card.

In addition, Qatar's core midfielder Haidos has been unable to find his form under Tang Zheng's defense.

Throughout the first half, Qatar had very few chances, but the Chinese team's counterattack was impressive.

It's a pity that Gao Lin and Yu made mistakes one after another, so that the score was still 0:0 at the end of the first half
