Borussia Dortmund's failure to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium was somewhat unfortunate for fans because their side missed at least four outright chances throughout the game, which led to a lot of media describing Dortmund this season as a "bad road trip". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Apart from an away win in the first round of the German Cup at the start of the season, Dortmund have not won a single game so far.

Either flat or negative.

In addition, the German media also talked about Dortmund's scoring ability in the Champions League, with only two goals scored in their last two Champions League games, just more than Ajax, who are bottom of the group.

It is worth mentioning that the two goals scored came from Tang Zheng's contribution, so Lewandowski, who has scored six goals in the league, has been questioned by the media, saying that he commands 'Wo Li Heng'.

Of course, Tang Zheng is under the most pressure, he is the captain and the core.

Borussia Dortmund travel to Hannover 96 at the weekend, the seventh round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season.

Borussia Dortmund have struggled in the last six league games, with just three wins, two draws and one defeat to accumulate 11 points, seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

I don't know if it was under the curse of a winless streak away from home, or under the huge pressure of being seven points behind Bayern in the league, Dortmund drew 1-1 away at Hannover 96 and still did not open an away win account this season.

Since Bayern beat Hoffenheim 2:0 at home at the same time, it is equivalent to saying that after seven rounds of league games, Bayern has a full nine points ahead of defending champion Dortmund......

You know, the league has only started eight rounds!

Unexpectedly, Eintracht Frankfurt is second in the league, they have 16 points from 7 games, 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, Schalke 04 is third with 40 points from 7 games, 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and Dortmund is 4th with 12 points from 7 games, 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.

No one expected that Bayern Munich would win seven consecutive victories in one fell swoop in the new season, as if people saw 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 did not win a single game on the road in all competitions, and manager Jurgen Klopp was pushed into the limelight by the media.

Because no matter what goes wrong with the team, the manager is fully responsible.

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

Thankfully, with the two international breaks just around the corner, the media's attention is no longer on Borussia Dortmund and manager Jurgen Klopp, but on the latest preparations for the national team.

But Jurgen Klopp is not necessarily without pressure, the league at the end of the international break is the Ruhr derby, and it is a game that must be won!

The league leader Bayern's opponent is the promoted horse Dusseldorf, and in the eyes of many media, the promoted horse is completely equal to three points.

If Borussia Dortmund are unable to beat Schalke 04 at home, the league points will be stretched to double digits.

If you want to defend the league title, the odds are infinitely close to zero.

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

As a result, Jurgen Klopp had to work overtime during the international break to study the defensive holes of Schalke 04, who are currently third in the league.

The end of Euro 2012 also means the start of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

During the international break, the Chinese team had a World Cup qualifier away to Qatar, which was considered by the Chinese media and the mainstream Asian media to be an opponent that the Chinese team must win if they want to emerge from Group A.

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

The injury before the crucial World Cup qualifiers was somewhat regrettable for Chinese fans, after all, the Ruhr derby after the international break.

Looking back at the World Preliminaries, Qatar's home match against the Chinese team was at 8:25 p.m. Beijing time on October 16, that is, at 3:25 p.m. local time in Qatar.

Group A of the Asian Top 10 is more complicated, with the exception of Lebanon, who has a bye in this round, which played four group games, and the other four teams have only played three.

The South Korean team ranks first with seven points from three games, two wins and one draw, the Chinese team ranks second with five points from three games, one win and two draws, and Qatar ranks third with four points with one win, one draw and one loss.

The reason is that Australia lost 0:1 to the original bottom team Lebanon in the last round, which broke a big upset in the top 10 of Asia.

Australia, who finished at the bottom of the group, hosted the top team South Korea, which gave the Chinese media hope of winning the group.

With only two points from the last three rounds of the group, Australia have no way back, and they must beat South Korea at home or face an exit!

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

During the preparation of the Chinese team for the World Cup qualifiers in Riyadh, the domestic media reported that the current situation was extremely favorable to the Chinese team, as long as they beat Qatar away to directly qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by the domestic media, seemed quite low-key, he faced the poisoned milk sent by the media reporters, and said lightly: "Any game will be risky, there is no 100% sure game, beating Qatar away will indeed increase our points, but it is only an increase in points, there is still half of the group stage, everything is possible." ”

On October 11, the Chinese team and Saudi Arabia played a friendly match at the Prince Abdullah Stadium, and after 90 minutes, the Chinese team, which drank the poisoned milk of the media, lost to Saudi Arabia 1:2.

The Chinese team lost away from home, and the faces of the domestic media were quite ugly, and they blew the Chinese team to the sky before the game, believing that it would be effortless to win against Saudi Arabia.

The result?

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's substitute, it was very likely that he would lose 0:2 away.

However, head coach Camacho did not complain about the team's loss, but said in an interview with the media that the loss was more like a timely rain.

Why?

The Chinese team is currently ranked second in Group A of the Asian Top 10, which has somewhat made the international players full of confidence.

Having faith is a good thing a lot, but sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing.

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

Australia and South Korea are favourites to qualify from the group, while China's direct rivals are Qatar and Lebanon, and with Group A currently in a stalemate, China should beat their biggest rivals.

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

And in the next World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team will lack the right-sided big player Hao Junmin, and it is far from enough to rely on Tang Zheng's play alone, so it is very important for other players to maintain a calm heart while having confidence.

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

Australia, who lost 1-0 to Lebanon in the last round, is the best example to learn from.

Moreover, the Chinese team has not yet reached the point where they suspiciously underestimate their opponents.

The fifth round of Group A of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top 10 kicked off at the Al Sadd Stadium in Qatar, where Qatar hosted the Chinese team, which is currently ranked second in the group.

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

The last time the two teams met was in the Qatar Asian Cup at the beginning of last year, when the Chinese team lost 0:2 to Qatar.

Head coach Camacho did not pay attention to historical records, he was more concerned about the bad weather in Qatar, so the team mainly defended and counterattacked, and Tang Zheng, the only player who played in the five major European leagues, played with Zheng Zhi at the back.

This time, Tang Zheng did not feel any unhappiness in his heart, and the away games were supposed to be low-key, especially the consecutive away winless games he suffered in Dortmund this season, which made him realize the importance of being low-key.

Moreover, the current Qatar is no longer the Qatar of the past, and their midfield core No. 10 Haydos is very capable and can pass suddenly.

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

It is worth mentioning that Sebastian used to study under the academy of Real Madrid, that is, Castile, until he returned to Uruguay at the age of 20.

But just a year later, he joined Algarafa and then Qatar SC, especially Qatar SC, where he stayed for eight years.

Playing in the Qatari league for a long time also allowed Sebastian to choose to join the Qatari national team, and Qatar's ability to reach the quarterfinals of last year's Asian Cup had a lot to do with him.

Camacho's reason for partnering Tang Zheng with Zheng Zhi was to limit Haydos and Sebastian and not let them test the central defender combination of Feng Xiaoting and Liu Jian too much.

Judging by the first half, the effect was not bad.

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

They also thought about finding Sebastian with a cross from the wing, but Tang Zheng's position selection is often very good, and he often receives the ball in the box quickly when he has the intention of starting the ball from the side in Qatar.

Sebastian was even annoyed and angry because he was cleared by Tang Zheng in a row, and Malaysian referee Mohammed decisively gave him a yellow card.

In addition, the core of Qatar's midfield, Haidos, has not been able to find his form under Tang Zheng's defense.

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

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