Chapter 0010: Heaven to Hell (Ask for Subscription, Ask for Tickets!)
Borussia Dortmund's home win over Cologne was a planned result of Klopp's plan, so he quickly adjusted to prepare for the away league game against Hamburg. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Last season's impressive performance for Hamburg finished fifth in the league ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who were also impressive, and thus qualified for this season's Europa League, which also meant that Dortmund only had the league and German Cup to play this season.
However, this is the best thing for Klopp, who is aiming to run in this season, if he plays in the third line, it will be a huge test for the existing squad, and the weakness of insufficient bench depth will be infinitely expanded in the third line.
Tang Zheng's daily arrangement is very fulfilling now, the team is one training day, but he will choose two training a day.
If the team is training in a group in the morning, he will come to the gym in the training center in the afternoon to practice, and if the team is training together in the afternoon, he will come to the gym in the morning to practice.
In the evening, he and Zhao Lina studied German with He Mengdi.
After a few days of studying together, Tang Zheng admired Zhao Lina even more, or felt more.
This feeling comes from the fact that Zhao Lina is really not a vase, her life used to be nothing more than football and drums and guitar, and even self-study modeling courses, just like Nana, the protagonist of her favorite comic "Nana".
As for Tang Zheng's previous plan to get a driver's license and buy a car, he had to move back, after all, he now has to integrate into the team.
Besides, Chen Jia has also taken on a lot of reliable business in China and has no time to deal with it, let alone taking a driver's license and buying a car?
I don't care about the money, everything else is a floating cloud.
With this attitude in learning German, Tang Zheng made very rapid progress.
He had only been learning German for about ten days, and he knew all the everyday phrases and football terminology by heart.
Language communication also made Tang Zheng's integration into the team faster.
Privately, he could already joke with Hummels and Sven Bender in simple German.
Basically, Tang Zheng can get along with his teammates at this age, but Shahin from Turkey doesn't seem to be interested in him, and he is not happy to chat several times.
Slowly, Tang Zheng realized that Sha Xin had an inexplicable hostility towards him.
He had also felt that in River Plate, it was a hostility that threatened his survival.
Ay......
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and there is no way.
Tang Zheng said this.
※※※
Klopp has been coaching Mainz since he started, and his usual tactical system is the 4231 formation, and he has not changed when he came to Dortmund, still choosing this classic formation.
In preparation for the league game in Hamburg, he tried to move Tang Zheng to the forward position, allowing Shaheen to partner with Kyle, who had returned to training, in the back two.
Last season, Shaheen and Kyle partnered with two backs, and they trained more tacitly in the team, but Tang Zheng in the middle of the formation 'three' was a little uncomfortable, too close to the striker was equivalent to letting him come to the No. 10 position, and this position made him a little uncomfortable.
As a result, Klopp's hypothetical death was in practice, and he had to reconsider the coexistence of Tang Zheng and Shahin.
Although Tang Zheng has not yet met the requirements for starting the game, he believes that Tang Zheng has super adaptability.
Being able to contribute three effective interceptions, two shots and 23 passes in a limited 13 minutes shows that he is actively integrating into the team.
I believe that with the increase in time with the players, I will definitely be able to integrate into the team as a whole.
However, before Tang Zheng could integrate into the team, Dortmund, who had invested heavily in the new season, suffered a blow to the head.
4:1
The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.
Hamburg at home beat Borussia Dortmund with ambition for the new season at home.
Of course, this score has little to do with Tang Zheng.
The score had already become 3-1 before he came off the bench, and the goal he conceded had little to do with him, it was Weidenfeller's mistake and the football was sent into the empty net by the veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Despite this, the media still blamed Tang Zheng for not being integrated into the team.
Because they thought that Klopp's replacement of Tang Zheng when the team was behind was to hope that he would shoulder the heavy responsibility, but he did not help in attacking in the effective 30 minutes except for defense.
The next day, the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" publicly judged Tang Zheng, as if Dortmund's away defeat was caused by him: "Dortmund spent a lot of money to bring in River Plate midfielders this summer, definitely to improve the results of the new season, but his addition did not increase Dortmund's strength, and the away defeat was not the responsibility of Jürgen Krupp, nor the responsibility of Nuri Shahin, nor the responsibility of goalkeeper Weidenfeller, coincidentally...... His poor form led directly to Dortmund's defeat on the road, because Jurgen Klopp wanted him to be a good helper rather than a nice-to-have......
At first, the German media did not criticize Tang Zheng with such sharp words, but with the publication of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", they seem to have found another news source that can create public opinion.
Twelve million euros may not be worth mentioning on Bayern, but it is different on Dortmund, they almost declared bankruptcy four years ago, and now they are still recovering, buying Tang Zheng is for the great revival, if his ability is not enough to help Dortmund, isn't it equivalent to spending a lot of money to buy it?
What Klopp didn't expect was that Tang Zheng had played in the Bundesliga for less than half of the time, and he was labeled as a parallel import by the media.
Since Tang Zheng returned to Dortmund, he has focused all his attention on training, but he has no time to pay attention to news trends, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
※※※
Dortmund's heavy defeat on the road has nothing to do with Tang Zheng, but as a member of Dortmund, he has a responsibility to help the team.
For half an hour, he did not threaten the ball, only two long-range attempts, one with an anti-aircraft gun, and the other was saved by the opposition goalkeeper.
The defense was good, but it was difficult to save the team.
So Tang Zheng blamed himself very much, he hated himself for not being strong enough, hating himself for not being able to integrate into the team faster, otherwise there would be no away defeat.
With this mood, Tang Zheng devoted himself to training and running-in.
But the team suffered a heavy defeat away from home, the players were in a bad mood, the training atmosphere was not going up, and even an ordinary physical confrontation would lead to a conflict.
Tang Zheng glanced at Sha Xin very depressed, just now he subconsciously fell to the ground to tackle the ball and kicked the football away, but Sha Xin didn't have time to dodge and was kicked to the ground.
Shahin's reaction was very violent, and he got up and yelled at Tang Zheng.
Fortunately, the captain next to him, Dede, reacted quickly and pulled Shaheen aside, and the training was suspended.
Jurgen Klopp sighed, the next round will be at home to last season's Stuttgart, another difficult opponent.
Now there is a big problem in the atmosphere in the team, and it will be difficult to win the opponent even if you sit at home in the next round.
Really!
Borussia Dortmund's third-round home league game against Stuttgart did not come out of the gloom as they drew a thrilling home draw thanks to an own goal from Khedira.
However, Tang Zheng's playing time increased significantly, and he replaced Hainaur at the beginning of the second half.
But the problem is that the run-in is not enough, and the atmosphere in the team is not very harmonious during the preparation for Stuttgart, and the preparation effect is partially discounted.
Tang Zheng worked hard to assist his teammates and sort out the attack, but his and Shahin's functions on the court overlapped.
In order for the team's offensive and defensive transitions to be normal, he had to take a back seat and give up the opportunity to cut in to Shahin.
So, after the game, not only did the media say that Tang Zheng was a parallel import, but even some Dortmund fans thought that Tang Zheng was a parallel import.
However, manager Klopp chose to protect Tang Zheng as before: "It's unfair for you to judge like this, he hasn't been in the team for a month, please give him a little more time!"
Dortmund in the new season has gone from a good start to one draw and one loss, which is simply heaven to hell.
Tang Zheng did not deliberately pay attention to the news, but the transmission of news in the information age is pervasive.
In the evening, Tang Zheng, who returned home, turned on the TV, and German TV 2 was broadcasting today's "Bundesliga Essence": "Dortmund drew 1:1 at home against Stuttgart, and the core of the River Plate midfield that Dortmund spent a lot of money on this season did not play a role in strengthening the team's lineup, but made Dortmund's offensive and defensive conversion fall into chaos......
The female announcer's voice was very good, but Tang Zheng didn't have the slightest heart to taste it, his hands were naturally clenched, and his nails almost pinched into the flesh.
It wasn't until two minutes later that the doorbell rang.
Tang Zheng realized that it was time to learn German.
"Well, my brother, why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"
He Mengdi finished preparing the German materials for today's class and glanced at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng's attention was still on TV, and German TV 2 was still criticizing him, so he almost said that Dortmund bought a parallel goods back.
Zhao Lina stopped her best friend with her eyes, and then pressed the remote control shutdown button on the coffee table.
Tang Zheng frowned dissatisfiedly, but Zhao Lina said with a serious face: "Actually, you don't have to think too much about you in the accident world, because in our eyes you are great, the champion of the A-League, the champion of the Copa Libertadores, the best player, the past glory is proving your ability, your lack of performance is just not enough running-in, and then ...... You should also know that the media likes nothing more than to take it out of context, as the Dortmund Morning Post reported last time......
"But they weren't wrong, I didn't help the team. ”
Tang Zheng shook his head and said dejectedly.
"This is not like the Tang Zheng we know. Zhao Lina shook her head, looking disappointed.
"Then tell me what kind of me you know?" Tang Zheng looked at Zhao Lina self-deprecatingly.
"The Tang Zheng we know is a responsible, responsible, dare to fight, face difficulties, never know what setbacks and difficulties are for the sake of dreams, and you look at yourself now? I only know self-blame, and even doubt my own ability, to be honest, I am really disappointed, this is not the real you. Zhao Lina pursed her mouth and said seriously.
Maybe the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Tang Zheng, who frowned, suddenly brightened his eyes, although this post-90s girl is not very old, she has a very unique view, just like the meaning of 'death crawling'.
He did doubt his ability to establish himself in the Bundesliga, so Zhao Lina's words made him pause.
