Chapter 089: Going to the wrong locker room

"Elcome-Home" is the main theme before the game at Borussia Dortmund's home stadium in Westfalun.

Tang Zheng looked up at the Dortmund fans in the stands of Westfalfa Stadium, and instantly felt that these fans were very cute, and then listened to the familiar "Song of Tang" from the south stand and the main stand, Tang Zheng pursed his mouth and desperately endured the excitement in his eyes.

In order not to be 'embarrassed' in front of more than 70,000 fans, Tang Zheng instantly turned his back, wiped his eyes with his jersey, and at the same time raised his hands above his head and patted hard to express his gratitude to the home fans.

“Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——”

Everyone is an adult and can read what Tang Zheng wants to say, so the Dortmund fans let out a deafening shout.

In the Beijing studio, CCTV 5 TV received the game signal from Westfal Stadium in advance, and the commentator Liu Jianhong sat on the left side of the studio, and the partner commentator was Gong Lei.

Liu Jianhong listened to the huge shouts from the game scene, and his emotions were instantly infected, and his passion was surging: "There is still more than an hour before the start of the game, and the Dortmund fans who are fighting at home have adjusted their emotions to the best, huh?"

Speaking of this, Liu Jianhong turned his head to look at Gong Lei: "Director Gong, have you heard the fans at the scene seem to be shouting Tang Zheng's name?"

The director subconsciously increased the volume of the scene, and the commentator Gong Lei heard it very clearly, and his emotions were the same as Liu Jianhong's, full of passion: "The frenetic atmosphere of Westfallun Stadium is world-famous, and Tang Zheng, as a player of the away team, can still be greatly welcomed by the home fans, which is enough to say that his past achievements in Dortmund can transcend any kind of game! As Tang Zheng said when he won the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball Award, the success of the 2012-2013 season is inseparable from the fanatical fans." ”

At the Westphal Lun Stadium, Tang Zheng turned around and did not interact with the home fans again, he had to devote himself to the warm-up of the whole team to prepare for the second leg of the next Champions League quarter-finals.

If you want to play at a normal level in the game, you must warm up in place, otherwise it is easy to have muscle discomfort, especially now that the third line is in a stalemate.

Not long after, the home team players entered the stadium to warm up, and suddenly erupted into a tsunami-like shout, which instantly swept the whole stadium and resounded in the sky.

With about 20 minutes to go before the start of the game, all the players and coaching staff on both sides of the game returned to their dressing rooms to make final preparations for the next Champions League quarter.

Tang Zheng walked to the players' tunnel, and the Dortmund fans in the stands enthusiastically chanted Tang Zheng's name.

Listening to the overwhelming shouts, Tang Zheng stopped and looked up.

Above the entrance of the players' tunnel, a large number of Dortmund fans held up the number '10' shirt, and the name on the number was not 'Mkhitaryan', but 'Tang', which means that the shirt held up by these fans was the same shirt worn by Tang Zheng last season.

Coupled with the sporadic sounding of the familiar "Song of Tang" from one stand to the entire stadium, Tang Zheng pursed his mouth, raised his hands above his head, and expressed his gratitude to the fans by applauding.

Wait until Tang Zheng finishes thanking the fans on the spot. Players and coaches from both sides entered the tunnel and returned to their respective locker rooms.

Entering the players' tunnel, Tang Zheng looked at the familiar staff of Westphal Lun Stadium, and he habitually waved hello.

The stadium staff also patted Tang Zheng's shoulder or other body parts affectionately as before, as a reminder.

Tang Zheng greeted the staff while habitually walking towards the left at the end of the players' tunnel.

Walking to the door of the locker room, he pushed his arms forward hard, and saw all the Dortmund people in the dressing room, and the whole person was stunned.

At the same time, assistant coach Bwach, who was preparing the pre-match tactical board, looked at Tang Zheng, who was wearing a white Real Madrid shirt, and was also stunned.

Klopp didn't wait for Bwach to hand over the tactical board for a long time, and turned his head to look, but the first thing he saw was Tang Zheng standing at the door......

At this time, Hummels, who was wiping his wet hair with a towel, looked at Tang Zheng and said playfully: "Hey~ I said Tang, are you here to investigate the enemy?"

The Dortmund players, who were busy with their own business, subconsciously looked at the door of the dressing room after hearing Hummels's words, and then after a second or so, there was a burst of laughter in the home team's dressing room.

Tang Zheng scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I greeted Tom (the stadium manager) just now, and I walked here habitually, uh...... You go on. ”

After that, Tang Zheng didn't give his former teammates a chance to speak again, and closed the door directly.

But the moment he closed the door, there was another playful laugh in the dressing room.

“……”

Tang Zheng's head instantly galloped past tens of millions of grass, mud, and horses.

But soon he shook his head and chuckled, apparently feeling warm about his former teammate's approach.

Tang Zheng walked to the away team's locker room, his teammates were still busy with their own affairs, and only assistant coach Zidane asked curiously: "Hey, Tang...... Why are you only coming in now?"

"No, just now. Tang Zheng's right index finger pointed upwards and said, "The fans are too enthusiastic, I delayed for a while." ”

Zidane tapped his head in understanding, and then threw himself back into his work, which was to cooperate with head coach Carlo Ancelotti in a pre-match tactical summary.

Immediately, Tang Zheng took off his wet jersey and walked to the bathroom with a new towel.

"The facilities in the away dressing room are really not comparable to the home team's dressing room. Tang Zheng thought while rubbing the shower gel.

After a short while, the players rinsed and changed into dry jerseys and equipment, and came to the ready-to-prepare manager Carlo Ancelotti to listen to the final analysis before the game.

After all, the pre-game tactical explanation is for the unknown starting lineup, and now that the game time is less than ten minutes, both sides have their opponents' starting lists, so the coach has to make corresponding tactical adjustments for the opponent's different starting lineups.

Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up has changed two positions from the first leg at the Bernabeu, with Luliang replacing Mkhitaryan and Sebastian Kyle replacing Sven Bender.

There was also a change in the position of Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was acclimatised to the field before the game yesterday, was feeling unwell, and the manager Jurgen Klopp used Isco for the game to be on the safe side, and Cristiano Ronaldo was on the bench.

Another change was at left-back, with Coentrão, who has been in excellent form in recent training, starting in rotation for Marcelo.

At the same time, Liu Jianhong, the commentator of the Beijing studio of the Central 5 Central 5, looked at the starting lineup and talked eloquently: "The starting lineup is already in my hands, I think the fans in front of the TV must be very excited, because there will be three players in this crucial 2013-2014 Champions League 1/4 final second leg at the same time, in addition to Tang Zheng and Yan Junling, the teenager Lu Liang replaced the Armenian footballer Mkhitaryan to start the game." ”

Commentator Gong Lei said with a smile: "More and more Chinese players appear in the top European arena, I think this year's World Cup in Brazil will definitely achieve a variety of zero breakthroughs, if the state can be stable, it is not impossible to qualify from the group......"

About five minutes later, the live broadcast camera switched to the players' tunnel, and at the end of the broadcast screen, a Dortmund player wearing a yellow and black jersey had already walked out on the left.

The commentary authority of the Beijing studio was transferred to He Wei, who was commentating the game at Westphalia Lun Stadium.

He Wei coughed lightly twice, and did not say 'players from both sides come to the players' tunnel', which are 'nonsense' that everyone can open, but said with a smile: "I heard a very funny thing from my German colleagues just now, Tang Zheng, a former Dortmund player who joined Real Madrid with a floating clause of 105 million euros and 20 million euros last summer, went to the wrong dressing room after the warm-up and walked directly into the home team's dressing room, and both sides were stunned at the time......"

Countless fans sitting in front of the TV or computer subconsciously laughed, obviously automatically making up the scene at that time.

With more and more players coming to the dressing room, the conversation returned to the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals: "The players on both sides looked friendly, there was no tension at all on the eve of the big game, maybe ...... This game will be more exciting than you can imagine. ”

For fans, quality is what they look for, but not for those who have subjective support, who want to support their team to be the first to score without conceding a goal.

“The-main-event”

“These-are-the-men”

“These-are-the-champions”

……

As the familiar Champions League theme song "Champions League" sounded over the Westphalic Lun Stadium, the players of both sides followed the referee on duty Clattenburg to the middle of the pitch.

In the hallowed South Stand, Dortmund die-hard fans are hanging a huge Tifo show in order for the team to make a comeback and qualify for this season's Champions League semi-finals.

Cartoon fans wearing the No. 2 Dortmund jersey hold the Champions League trophy high and step on the cartoon character wearing the No. 9 white Real Madrid jersey, implying that the two-time Champions League champion Dortmund will beat the nine-time Champions League champion Real Madrid to advance to the last four of this season's Champions League.

There is also a line of German letters on the bottom edge of the cartoon, to the effect that the team that finally advances to the semi-finals must be us, come on!

Tang Zheng naturally noticed these familiar German words, but he didn't pay too much attention to them, because he is now a Real Madrid player.

As the start time of the game got closer and closer, Dortmund, who were holding banners, slogans and flags in support of Tang Zheng in the stands, put down and replaced them with banners, slogans and flags in support of Dortmund.

For them, Tang Zheng is in the past tense.

It is a meritorious hero, and it must be respected, but now that the two armies are fighting, they must be on their side.

At the end of a series of pre-match etiquette, English referee Clattenburg blew the whistle and announced that the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals kicked off at Westfal Stadium: "Beep~"

As soon as Benzema kicked the ball to Di Maria, the Dortmund fans at the Westphera Lun Stadium created a deafening loud boo: "Shhhh

Even if the football passed to Tang Zheng's feet, the boos in the stands did not have any downward trend, but the momentum became bigger and bigger.

In the face of the huge boos from the home fans, Tang Zheng made an extremely rare mistake in passing and receiving the ball, and his diagonal pass went directly to Gundogan.

Gundogan didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, he was completely unprepared, and it was too late for him to control the ball again, and the football was stabbed out by Modric who suddenly stepped forward.

Xavi Alonso and Gotze ran towards the ball at the same time, but Xavi Alonso's kick was noticeably slower by half a beat, and the ball was kicked out by Gotze first.

Maybe it was because the power was too big, Piszczek on the side did not receive it, the football went out of the sideline, and Real Madrid won the touchline ball.

Tang Zheng waved to his teammates and apologized for the first time, if he hadn't made a mistake just now, the team's opening attack would definitely not have been full of twists and turns.

Soon, Tang Zheng threw himself into the game and did not slump because of mistakes.

As the winner of the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball, Tang Zheng is no longer a fledgling young player, he has experienced more than 100 battles, rich game experience, and excellent psychological quality.

Coupled with his special understanding, the louder the boos from the fans, the more scared they are.

In the same way, the more fans like to boo, the more they are afraid of whom.

Tang Zheng was an important force in Dortmund's siege of the city in the past, and now ...... A key player at the heart of Real Madrid, Dortmund fans hope they can influence Tang Zheng's on-field performance, just like the mistake before the opening.

For Borussia Dortmund fans, the more such mistakes, the better.

It's just that Tang Zheng adjusted quickly, and the mistakes before the opening did not appear again in the following games.

Instead, in the fourth minute of the game, he used a long-range shot opportunity to test Yan Junling......

Ancelotti, who was standing in front of the coach of the away team, saw that Tang Zheng's performance was becoming more and more stable, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The loss of Cristiano Ronaldo's forward knife before the game has greatly frustrated his strength, and if Tang Zheng performs poorly, it will really become a luxury to advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League......

In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo missing the starting lineup, Tang Zheng's responsibility is needless to say.

However, this responsibility is nothing for Tang Zheng, who has carried the team's attacking banner in many games during his time at Dortmund.

In particular, the quality of the Champions League was particularly stimulating.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed in the first half of the game, and the two sides went back and forth, contributing a total of six shots on goal, and both sides completed three shots each.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid's three shots were all completed by Tang Zheng, who threatened Yan Junling with long-range shots and set-piece attacks respectively.

Borussia Dortmund are clearly more attacking than Real Madrid, with Luliang and Reus both having strong breaking and scoring ability on the wings, and both contributed to the test of Casillas' shots when Carvajal and Coentrão were unheard.

But as time went on, the visiting Real Madrid began to pay attention to defensive details.

Lu Liang and Reus, who are good at breaking through on the wing and cutting inside, have a feeling that they are hard to beat with both feet, and one or two players who break through can no longer break through the third.

Jurgen Klopp was also worried about Real Madrid's quick counter-attack, signaling on the sidelines not to be too aggressive, after all, it was only ten minutes into the game, and Dortmund, who had scored away goals, only needed to beat Real Madrid 1-0 at home to qualify for the last four of this season's Champions League.
