Chapter 355: Champions League semifinals, opponent Barcelona

Dortmund's final home win over Malaga became the focus of the European mainstream media on the second Champions League matchday, and Tang Zheng, who cleared the ball against the sky and scored a direct free kick, became the god of reporters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The whole Dortmund team had a half-day holiday on this day and resumed training in the afternoon.

In the evening, the remaining two Champions League quarter-finals second legs kicked off at Camp Nou and Juventus Arena respectively.

At the end of 90 minutes, Bayern Munich defeated Juventus 2:0 away and advanced with an aggregate score of 4:0, and the surprise first leg drew 2:2 with Paris Saint-Germain's Barcelona and returned to the Camp Nou to draw 1:1, with an aggregate score of 3:3, and advanced with more away goals.

With these two matches over, all four teams that have advanced to the semi-finals of the 2012-2013 Champions League have been announced, two in the Bundesliga and two in La Liga, namely Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The draw for the semi-finals of the 2012-2013 Champions League season took place at 12 p.m. local time on April 12 at UEFA headquarters.

It is worth mentioning that the draw for the semi-finals is the first time in the history of the Champions League, and in the past the semi-finals were automatically paired according to the upper and lower halves.

The semi-final draw was still chaired by UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had never won the Champions League in his career, was the guest of honour.

Prior to this, the mainstream European media and the Chinese media conducted a detailed analysis of the possible outcome of the draw.

The draw results of the two semi-finals are nothing more than six results, Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Dortmund vs Real Madrid, Bayern Munich vs Barcelona, Dortmund vs Barcelona, Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich.

The only difference is who hosts and who is the guest.

According to the nature of the UEFA draw, the Chinese media believe that Dortmund may draw Barcelona in the end, followed by Bayern Munich.

Why?

First of all, Dortmund was eliminated in the quarter-finals, against Barcelona, and the process was full of controversy.

Secondly, Dortmund faced Real Madrid and Malaga in the group stage and knockout rounds, and it is likely that the semi-finals will meet Barcelona again, who have not played in the Champions League this season.

In addition, Messi, who was interviewed by the media after Barcelona's thrilling draw with Paris Saint-Germain, once said: "Who to touch? Dortmund, of course." ”

In the face of the reporter's 'why', Messi gave a smile and did not continue to answer.

Borussia Dortmund captain Kehl, who is recovering from an injury, openly supported the draw for Barcelona in an interview with Bild, based on the principle of 'where you fall, where you get up.' ’

Tang Zheng, the biggest contributor to Dortmund's promotion to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, was interviewed by media reporters and did not particularly want to meet the team, he said: "The Champions League has entered the semi-finals, no matter which team you meet, you must put in 100% or even 200 concentration, so it is the same for whoever is drawn." ”

Dortmund's local reporters hope that Dortmund can draw Bayern Munich, who have had amazing results against Bayern Munich in the past three seasons.

If the Champions League semi-finals are drawn to Bayern Munich, it will undoubtedly get a ticket to the final of the new Wembley Stadium in advance.

Coincidentally, the local media in Munich said that the last opponent Bayern Munich wanted to meet was Borussia Dortmund.

Of course, they have a high-sounding reason – they hope that the Champions League semi-finals will feature two Bundesliga teams for the first time and that they will continue into the Champions League final.

Before the draw for the Champions League semi-finals at UEFA headquarters, the host Gianni Infantino explained the relevant rules of the draw ceremony in accordance with the regulations, and then reviewed the highlights of the four quarter-finals.

The match between Borussia Dortmund and Malaga was not the focus of journalists, fans and experts, but it was full of ups and downs and magic.

At the critical moment of the broadcast, the sports director Zorke, who attended the draw on behalf of Dortmund, had a naturally straight waist.

Immediately, the draw for the semi-finals of the 2012-2013 Champions League season officially began.

The first team drawn by the lottery guest Van Nisteloney was Bayern Munich, and the atmosphere of the whole draw scene became very weird.

The live director kept capturing the draw representatives of the other three teams, but the Dortmund legend star and current sports director Zorke was very calm, he pinched his chin with his right hand, and even nodded repeatedly.

However, the next team to be drawn is not Borussia Dortmund, but ...... Real madrid!

Of the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals, two of them were drawn, and the remaining two teams were automatically paired up, and Dortmund drew Barcelona!

However, the draw still needs to continue, according to the Champions League semi-final draw rules, the first team to draw will be home and away.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's third draw was Borussia Dortmund, which means that Dortmund and Barcelona will play home and away in the 2012-2013 Champions League semi-finals.

The draw for the 2012-2013 Champions League semi-finals took place on Friday at 12 p.m. local time in Europe, and the entire Dortmund squad watched live from the tactical hall of the Stoberari training centre as usual.

When Bayern Munich drew Real Madrid, everyone's expressions changed significantly.

After all, their ideal opponent is Bayern Munich.

Not to mention the comprehensive suppression of Bayern Munich in the past three seasons or so, the long distance from Germany to Spain alone has affected physical fitness.

At the height of the competition for the league title, better physical reserves can ensure an advantage, otherwise many skills and tactics will be difficult to play.

The draw for the Champions League semi-finals has just come out, and the global media here have fully analysed the next four Champions League semi-finals.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid were drawn together in the semi-finals of last season's Champions League, and after two semi-finals, Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid on penalties to reach the final.

Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona were drawn together in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, and if it weren't for the referee's fault, it is estimated that the team that advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season would have been Dortmund rather than Barcelona.

This time, the two teams will be drawn together again, and there will definitely be highlights at that time.

Of course, Dortmund are more favored this season than last season.

At the beginning of this season, FC Barcelona officially held a press conference to announce that he and manager Pep Guardiola would not renew his contract at the end of his contract, and in January this year, Bayern Munich officially announced that Pep Guardiola will be their manager next season.

Therefore, some media want to see Bayern Munich and Barcelona 'fighting' to see whether Guardiola is showing favor to the new club or proving himself.

However, Dortmund and Barcelona are drawn together again, and they are equally full of highlights, but they lack some highlights compared to Bayern Munich and Barcelona drawn together.

At the same time, Messi posted a meaningful message on his personal social networking site Twitter: "I have been waiting for a long time, I yearn for the championship!"

There is also a Champions League five-star logo logo on the back.

Messi's message is very obvious, the match with Dortmund has been awaited for a long time, and then beat them, the goal is to win the championship!

These topics are naturally covered by the media, and Dortmund and Barcelona are facing the domestic league.

The four Champions League semi-finals over two legs will be played at 20:45 local time on April 23/24 and kick-off at 8:45 local time on April 30 and May 1.

At the weekend, Borussia Dortmund were a guest to challenge promoted Magreeterhof.

This game can be said to be no difficult for Dortmund, as Gretelhof has not adapted well to the Bundesliga as a promoted horse, with only 15 points from 28 league games, a whopping 14 points from fourth-bottom Dusseldorf and nine points from third-bottom Augsburg.

With six rounds of the league remaining, it is unlikely that they will be relegated.

Coupled with Borussia Dortmund's comeback in midweek, morale was high as a whole, and even a large rotation of personnel took home side Gretthoff lightly.

1:6

With the home team in front and the away team behind, Dortmund was the away team to bloody opponents.

In the other game played at the same time, Bayern beat Nuremberg 4-0 at home, so the gap between Dortmund and Bayern is still two points in the league.

Perhaps it is true that the 2012-2013 Bundesliga title race will continue into the second leg of the German national derby, as the German media has claimed.

※※※

In the past 29 rounds of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have 77 and 75 points respectively.

It can be said that the two teams have been fighting each other since the first leg of the national derby, with Dortmund losing 2:3 at home to Wolfsburg and winning 13 consecutive league games since the 17th round.

Bayern Munich is not far behind, winning 12 in a row.

It is worth mentioning that both teams set a new record at the same time - the longest winning streak in the second half of the league.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have a record for the longest winning streak in the Bundesliga.

In this regard, the German media is quite crazy, at this time they automatically ignore the Champions League semi-finals and put the records set by the two teams to see how long their records can be extended......

Of course, the entire Borussia Dortmund team, who reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, did not bother to focus too much on these unrelated titles, and they had to play a double game in a row.

We host Freiburg in the semi-finals of the German Cup in midweek and Mainz at home at the weekend.

Immediately, the home stadium will usher in Barcelona's adjustment.

There is no doubt that the most important of the three games is the Champions League semi-finals, but the home games against Freiburg and Mainz should not let our guard down.

The German Cup is in the semi-finals and then the final.

With five games remaining in the league and two points behind leaders Bayern Munich, any mistake could lead to a title race and even a Champions League semi-final form.

Although Borussia Dortmund have some injuries at the moment, Klopp has made a reasonable use of his bench players, and the 6-1 win away to Gretehof proved that substitutes can also be responsible for winning.

Borussia Dortmund take on Freiburg at the Lun Stadium in Westphafa in midweek.

With the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at home to Barcelona in midweek, Jurgen Klopp has made a lot of changes to his starting line-up, with Shahin, Sheibel and Santana, who rarely play games, all getting their chance to play.

And they did not fail to live up to Klopp's trust, 2:0, Borussia Dortmund beat Freiburg, the first to qualify for this season's German Cup final, and this is also the fourth consecutive season that they have reached the final of this competition.

They have won all three seasons in the past three seasons, creating the most consecutive German Cup titles, so many media outlets are optimistic that Dortmund will achieve a fourth consecutive title in this competition.

Four days later, Borussia Dortmund continue to face league rivals Mainz at the Westfalum Stadium.

With four days to go until the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Jurgen Klopp has made no further changes to his line-up, sending a large number of key players in order to get his players to get their groove as quickly as possible.

During the game, the on-site director had sharp eyes, and he took advantage of the gap between the games to give Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who came to watch the game.

Interestingly, when the camera showed Pep Guardiola, there was a deafening loud boo from the scene, which was given to the current Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who will become the head coach of Bayern Munich next season.

Tang Zheng, who was wearing the captain's armband, also saw Guardiola from the LCD screen at the scene, and he grinned.

Perhaps it was Pep Guardiola's arrival at the Westphalen Stadium that Tang Zheng used a long-range shot to break the deadlock in the next attack.

Three minutes later, it was Tang Zheng again, and he scored again with Lewandowski's connection.

2:0

This is the score of the game to half an hour.

Considering the Champions League semi-final at home to Barcelona in the middle of next week, Tang Zheng, who controlled the pace of the game with Shahin, deliberately slowed down the pace of the game, and at this stage of the league, Mainz, who did not qualify for Europe this season and had no relegation pressure, did not bring much pressure to Dortmund.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Mainz 2-0 at home to prepare for Barcelona with 14 consecutive league wins.

In the other game that kicked off at the same time, the visiting Bayern Munich were very strong, beating the home team Hannover 96 6-1 to maintain a two-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund.

However, neither team paid much attention to the points issue, and their first concern was not to make mistakes in the league.

In addition, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will have to divert their attention from the league to prepare for the next Champions League semi-finals.

Borussia Dortmund hosts Barcelona and Bayern Munich hosts Real Madrid.

This season's Champions League semi-finals are from the Bundesliga and La Liga, with two places each, and avoiding the same league opponent in the draw, which means that there is a good chance of a derby in this season's Champions League final.

The Champions League La Liga derby was played in the 1999-2000 season, Real Madrid vs Valencia.

If Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich lose to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, this season's Champions League final will be the fourth Champions League final derby after La Liga derby, Serie A derby and Premier League derby.

With this possibility in mind, the German media took the lead and collected tactical holes from Real Madrid and Barcelona from the start of the Champions League semi-final draw.

The same is true of the Spanish media.

In order to make this season's Champions League final a Spanish derby, they searched everywhere.
