Midfielder Ruler

In the past seven rounds of the Bundesliga in the 2012-2013 season, Bayern ranked first in the league with 21 points in seven consecutive victories.

Dortmund, who won consecutive Bundesliga titles in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, only scored a poor twelve points.

Just after 1/5 of the league, a huge point difference has already been reflected, which somewhat disappointed the media supporting Dortmund.

The pressure on Dortmund coach Klopp is very high. Recently, the media with good things said that he got "major revelations", saying that he lost control of the locker room.

For example, the German local gang led by Gotze and Hummels, the Polish gang led by Lewandowski, and the neutral gang headed by Tang Zheng, which is the supporter of head coach Klopp.

At the end of the international match day, Tang Zheng led the Chinese team to defeat Qatar in an away game, and thus climbed to the first place in Group A of the World Preliminaries in Asia.

Tang Zheng, who quickly returned to the team, was in a very good mood. His competitive state was even better than his stunning performance at the beginning of the season. Head coach Klopp felt relieved while feeling the pressure.

Tang Zheng was the first player he urged the team to buy. In the summer of 2009, he was under tremendous pressure. You must know that Dortmund's financial situation was not good at that time. A budget of more than two million euros in annual salary requires great determination.

At that time, Klopp had difficulty persuading Zork to issue a military order with CEO Watzke, saying that if he could not win the league championship within two years, he would resign.

Watzke thought for a long time before finally pulling out the checkbook...

These things are unknown to the outside world.

Klopp withdrew his thoughts and returned his attention to the Schalke 04 game video this season. He did this on the two international match days. The training was handed over to Zelico Buvac. He and Peter Kravitz finished.

With the end of the international match day in October, the attention of the European media has returned to the domestic league, and there is an undercurrent in the German football world.

Tang Zheng has a clear goal, which is to help the team beat Schalke 04 in the weekend league and score three points.

At present, the team is nine points behind Bayern Munich. With such a large point gap, the only way to keep making mistakes is to wait for the opponent to make a mistake. Otherwise, narrowing the gap between them is nothing but a dream.

As a result, a day of training sessions,

Tang Zheng did not practice in the training ground, but went to the footbonaut training room for additional training.

The effect of the footbonaut training room is really good. Tang Zheng felt it especially in the away game in Qatar. He handled all kinds of irregular balls in an orderly manner, and his shooting improved significantly.

As the derby in the Ruhr area is getting closer and closer, it is very necessary to consolidate the finishing touch.

However, this derby in the Ruhr area has lost a lot of attention for Chinese fans. Chinese international Hao Junmin is in the recovery period, which means that the Chinese derby in the Ruhr area may not be able to be staged.

At 3:30 pm on October 20th, local time in Germany, the eighth round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season was staged at the Westfalen Stadium. Dortmund played against Schalke 04 at home.

On the other side, Bayern challenged Dusseldorf away.

The two games are played at the same time, whether it is Central 5 or other TV stations that have purchased the Bundesliga broadcast rights, they will give priority to broadcasting the 141st Ruhr Derby between Dortmund and Schalke 04 this round.

※※※

Schalke 04 experienced the team turmoil in the 2010-2011 season, recovered its vitality last season, and entered the UEFA Champions League. It has performed well since the beginning of this season. It even has two more points than the defending champion Dortmund in the seven rounds of the league.

Therefore, the Ruhr Derby at the Westfalenstadion in this campaign has a lot more things to watch.

Can Borussia Dortmund, which dominated the Bundesliga in the last two seasons, regain its glory, and can Schalke 04 win the first Ruhr Derby victory in the past four seasons.

Dortmund, who are playing at home, made some adjustments in the lineup. The reason is that the left backs Schmelzer and Gotze on the international match day were both plagued by injuries to varying degrees. The direct problem was that the left attack was greatly affected.

Of course, this is directly related to Dortmund's Champions League group stage challenge against Real Madrid in the middle of next week.

Compared with the league title that is getting further and further away, the breakthrough of the Champions League is particularly important.

The only thing that makes Dortmund fans feel gratified is that the veteran Pirlo made a comeback and entered the starting list of the Ruhr Derby.

The way Klopp thought of was to change the formation. They changed from the usual 423 formation to the variant 352 formation.

Sven Bender played as a central defender, partnered with Hummels and Subotic, Pirlo partnered with Gundogan as a double midfielder, and Tang Zheng was in the middle.

On the left is the physical madman Gross Kreutz, on the right is Piszczek, Royce plays as a second striker, and Lewandowski is at the forefront.

For Dortmund's sudden change of formation, Schalke 04 coach Jens Keller, who got the starting lineup, felt a little bad.

At the beginning of the game, Dortmund launched a wave of extremely threatening attacks under the cheers of the 80,000 fans at home. Pirlo received a cross pass from Tang Zheng and passed the ball diagonally from the right to Pische who inserted at high speed. Ke, the latter made a direct pass without stopping the ball.

Lewandowski pressed Matip to head towards the football. Unesthal, who was standing in front of the goal, subconsciously reached out to block the football, which was not at a tricky angle, and the Westfalenstadion rang. The first deafening sound of regret.

Lewandowski, who missed the great opportunity, pulled his hair with both hands, looking quite regretful.

The next corner kick was still grabbed by the Dortmund players. Hummels, under the interference of Hewedes, did not adjust the sight and missed the post.

Before the game restarted, Schalke 04 coach Jens Keller stood on the sidelines and signaled his players to pay attention to the fast crosses from the two wings, and also to pay attention to the protection in the penalty area. The attacking Royce and Tang Zheng are very dangerous characters.

Facts have proved that Jens Keller is very forward-looking. Whether the 352 formation is offensive or defensive, the emphasis is on the use of the two wings.

With the premise deployment, the defense has also become handy, and it no longer worries Schalke 04 fans as much as it did at the beginning.

The frenzied atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion is still there, and the home fans are happy to create a terrifying game atmosphere, which interferes with Schalke 04 who is a guest.

But the first team to score was Schalke 04 as a guest...

In the 14th minute, Farfan received a return pass from Uchida Atsuto from the right and made a direct pass. Sven Bender, who has been playing as a defensive midfielder since his debut, had a serious misunderstanding with central defender Hummels. The latter top did not top the ball out of the penalty area.

The former Barcelona player Afeilai, who was ambushing on the left side of the penalty area, shot angrily at the ball. Although the shot did not hit the right part, the victory was due to the tricky angle and a bounce in front of the goal. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller failed to save the team , the guest Schalke 04 took the lead.

Considering safety factors, the Ruhr Derby visiting team did not allow a large number of fans to enter the stadium, leaving only 3,000 tickets, so the Schalke fans who came to watch the game were the elite of the elite. In the downturn of the Tefarlun Stadium, he showed his presence.

The 80,000 home fans were unmoved at this moment in the face of the rivalry's show off.

The on-site director switched the camera and showed the Schalke fans area in the Northeast Stand. The season's league ranking surpassed Dortmund.

Immediately, the camera switched again, and this time it was Dortmund's captain Tang Zheng, who clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted after his teammates got their attention: "This is the Signal Iduna Park Stadium, our territory! I don't know what you are worried about! The game has only started for a quarter of an hour, and there is plenty of time to equalize and overtake! What's the point of losing the army? Just beat them!"

With Tang Zheng's morale boosted on the field, coach Klopp, who was still a little worried on the sidelines, returned to the coaching bench to discuss with his assistants Zeliko Buvac and Peter Kravitz what should be done in the next game. Make any changes to equalize the score as soon as possible.

However, Klopp's worries were completely unnecessary. Only two minutes after the game restarted, Tang Zheng, who was in excellent condition, helped Dortmund equalize the score in front of 80,000 home fans.

He received Royce's heel pass from outside the penalty area without making any adjustments, and directly swung his right foot exaggeratedly.

Neustadt, who was standing in front of the top of the restricted area to protect, was instinctive, with his hands behind his back, ready to block Tang Zheng's long-range shot with his flesh and blood.

"Long shot? A bit reckless..." German sky commentator Marcel Leif was just about to say that Tang Zheng's choice was a bit 'reckless', but when he saw Tang Zheng's raised right foot in the rebroadcast footage, he just feigned a shot. The whole killing move is behind.

I saw that the inside of the instep of his right foot kicked the football to the left. At this time, Neustadt hadn't landed yet, which meant that Schalke 04's defense was helpless against Tang Zheng's next choice.

At the beginning of October, Tang Zheng scored a wonderful left-footed long-range shot at the Etihad Stadium, so Schalke 04 goalkeeper Ernesthal was fully prepared, but when he saw the quality of Tang Zheng's long-range shot, he was confused. Instead of making a save, opt for a look 'save'.

Tang Zheng's long-range shot with his left foot was of extremely high quality, and under the condition of full strength, he still guaranteed a tricky angle.

The football almost rubbed against the inner edge of the left post of the goal and rolled into the goal. It didn't stop until it encountered the snow-white net, and then slowly rolled back into the field.

"Aww-"

The long-lost shouts finally sounded in the Westphalon Stadium, deafening.

Announcer Norbert Dicker instigated utter madness by shouting: "The player who scored for the great Dortmund was—"

"—Don!!!"

The 80,000 fans raised their voices hysterically, and the entire stadium was deafeningly loud, so that the fans who came to watch the Dortmund game for the first time had a big word "muddled" written on their faces.

At the critical moment, it still depends on Tang Zheng!
