Chapter 136: Double Race in a Week (Subscription Requested!)
In the 2010-2011 season, the German winter transfer market was still relatively lively, Bayern cleared out veterans such as Bluffhead, Demichelis and Van Bommel, and at the same time spent 17 million euros to buy Gustavo from Hoffenheim. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Borussia Dortmund's arch-rival Schalke 04 also made a move, Rakitic moved to Sevilla for ā¬2.5 million, and Jones moved to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League.
Similarly, Borussia Dortmund have also had personnel transferred and sold, and Hungarian midfielder Hajnaul, who was able to play semi-regular last season, completely lost his position after his return to the new season and was loaned to Stuttgart.
In terms of recruitment, he only spent 800,000 euros to buy Lightnair from Munich for 1860, but Lightnair was loaned back to the Bundesliga to join Augsburg before he could enjoy the treatment of Dortmund's first team.
La Liga, which has been relatively crazy in the past two summer transfer windows, has not made any high-profile transfers, but the Premier League has made a big move this winter, the most notable of which is Manchester City, who are not short of money, who spent £27 million to bring Dzeko from Wolfsburg.
The entire Borussia Dortmund squad was officially assembled on the fifth day to prepare for the second half of the 2010-2011 season.
From the fifteenth, Dortmund have four games.
Three league games and one German Cup quarter-final.
These four games are a test for Borussia Dortmund.
If they don't perform well, the advantage they built up in the first half will be lost.
Because their three league games are Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, the opponent in the quarter-finals of the German Cup is the Ruhr arch-rival Schalke 04.
At the beginning of February, however, the schedule was more scattered, but by the end of February, Dortmund's competition will be dense and very important.
Of course, the first thing they should face is the January event.
As for the February race, we will have to wait until January is over to give a countermeasure.
On the 5th, all the first team except for the injured players and the Japanese international Shinji Kagawa, who participated in the Asian Cup, returned to the Stobelari training center.
Jurgen Klopp looked at the stats given by the team doctor and was very pleased with the players' physical condition during the short break.
At the moment, the team's style of play is very mature, and Klopp's focus is on the physical reserves of the players.
The reason why Dortmund has been able to blow a storm of yellow and black youth in the Bundesliga this season is entirely due to the high press, and the basis of high pressure is to have abundant physical fitness.
So in order for the team to remain competitive in the second half of the season, he has to focus on the fitness of his players.
During Borussia Dortmund's preparations for the second half of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, the 15th Asian Cup kicked off in Qatar.
In addition to training, Tang Zheng will also pay attention to the situation of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.
The first round of the Chinese team was played on the 8th, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Chinese team finally defeated Kuwait 2:0.
It can be described as playing at a level and playing in style.
But the good times did not last long, and the Chinese team was completely exposed when they faced the host Qatar in the second round.
0ļ¼2
In the third round, the Chinese team will face Uzbekistan, a Central Asian wolf.
Tang Zheng, who was sitting in front of the TV, vaguely remembered the scene of the 2007 Asian Cup, where the Chinese team with one win and one draw could appear as long as it was a draw, and the result was ...... They lost.
In the past two rounds of the group, the Chinese team has one win and one loss, and has the same three points as the host Qatar, but the opponent they faced in the final round is very different.
Qatar faced Kuwait, who had been eliminated from the group early, and the Chinese team faced a strong Uzbekistan.
Tang Zheng, who is preparing for the 18th round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, said publicly in an interview with CCTV: "This is not the first time this situation has occurred, I am not targeting the national team, but the national team is now lacking a fighting spirit! Because I only see a few players working hard for the glory of the national team." ā
Indeed, what Tang Zheng said is reasonable and well-founded, and the media is not blind, it can see which players are really desperate.
I have to say that Zhang Linpeng, who once had conflicts with Tang Zheng in the U19 national youth, still has a sense of national glory, and his desperateness is no less than that of Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin.
At the same time, the 2010 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony began at the headquarters in Zurich.
Unlike previous years, the 2010 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony was held in mid-January due to the merger of FIFA and the European Ballon d'Or.
Undoubtedly, the biggest focus will undoubtedly be on the first combined FIFA Ballon d'Or winners.
Before the award ceremony, most of the media were optimistic about Xavi and Andres Iniesta, who won the World Cup with Spain, especially the latter, whose stunning goal in the World Cup final was the key to Spain's victory!
Coupled with the fact that the biggest contender, Sneijder, was not shortlisted for the final three, the mainstream media in Europe is very optimistic about Iniesta.
But what people didn't expect was that many things would be unexpected, and the favored Iniesta and Xavi were not selected for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, but only Messi won the La Liga title in the whole of 2010.
Tang Zheng saw that it was Messi who won the Golden Ball, and he shook his head in disappointment.
In his mind, the 2010 Golden Globe winner should be Sneijder's.
No matter how bad it is, it should be by Xavi or Iniesta.
Messi is just the most striking player in Barcelona's system, Xavi and Iniesta are the core of the system, and with them having World Cup titles, the tournament should be selected for team glory in the tournament!
Not surprisingly, on the second day, almost all the media were questioning the combined FIFA Ballon d'Or selection.
However, Tang Zheng did not pay attention to this, and his attention was completely focused on the upcoming North Rhine-Westphalia Lun derby in the 18th round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season.
ā»ā»ā»
Although Dortmund faced strong opponents at the start of the second half of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, they still had a certain advantage.
They started the first half of the season with two consecutive away games, and the second half of the season will naturally start with two consecutive home games, so fans expect Borussia Dortmund to start the season at the Lun Stadium in Westfa.
Really!
Borussia Dortmund, who sit in Westfa, won the game 3-1 at home, and captain Tang Zheng contributed a goal and an assist respectively, making a good start to 2011.
Immediately, the focus of the German media was on Wolfsburg's home game against Bayern Munich.
Now that Borussia Dortmund have won the North Rhine-Westphalia derby, the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 Bundesliga title contests are particularly eye-catching.
After 90 minutes of intense play, the two sides ended in a draw.
This result is the best result for Borussia Dortmund!
After 18 league rounds, Dortmund has 48 points, Bayern has only 30 points, a full 18 points behind, and six wins.
Even though the second half of the league season has just begun, the German media is no longer optimistic that Bayern will be able to achieve a big comeback in the second half.
As is customary, the team wins, and Klopp gives the team a day off.
Tang Zheng did not go out to relax, in addition to training, he was concerned about the final game of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.
I don't know if the national team players were stimulated by Tang Zheng, they showed amazing combat effectiveness in the final battle.
In less than six minutes of the opening game, China's Robben Yuhai helped the Chinese team break the deadlock.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and Uzbekistan scored one goal each in the second half to overtake the score.
The score then became 1:2
The Chinese team is behind.
In the 56th minute of the game, the Chinese team got a free kick opportunity on the left side in front of the penalty area, and Hao Junmin scored a wonderful world wave to equalize.
Unfortunately, it was the last goal of the game.
With hosts Qatar beating Kuwait in another match at the same time, they joined Uzbekistan in qualifying.
The Chinese team fell in the group stage for two consecutive Asian Cups, and the media and fans were very dissatisfied.
Not long after taking over as the president of the Football Association, Wei Di was greeted by the fans and the whole family.
Before the Qatar Asian Cup, the national media and fans across the country insisted that the Football Association call Tang Zheng and strive to take the national team to further progress in the Asian Cup under the condition of Tang Zheng's radiant appearance.
Besides, Tang Zheng has also publicly stated countless times that he hopes to wear the national team jersey, but Wei Di, who has just taken office, chooses to play official with the media and fans and practice Tai Chi.
Now, all right, anticlimactic, the group goes home.
Being sprayed and questioned is the most normal result.
Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by a reporter from the Central 5 in Germany, no longer had the anger at the end of the game, and he said lightly: "There is nothing to say about this, if you lose, you lose." ā

After the North Rhine-Westphalia derby, Borussia Dortmund began a two-game week format.
Perhaps fearful of the German Cup quarter-final tie away to Schalke 04 in midweek, Borussia Dortmund's home to Stuttgart at the weekend held back with a points lead.
In the end, Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 at home to Stuttgart.
The draw left many Dortmund fans speechless, and Dortmund's performance this season can be described as flawless, with 15 wins and 4 draws in 19 league games.
It's just a shame to get a good result, as three of the four draws have come at home.
If they win all three games at home, Dortmund's results will be even more dazzling this season.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and you can only accept the reality after the game.
Manager Jurgen Klopp's focus quickly shifted to the German Cup quarter-final away to Schalke 04 in midweek.
Similarly, Schalke 04's attention is also on this German Cup quarter-final.
Now in the past 19 rounds of the league, Schalke 04 is as many as 21 points behind the leader Dortmund, and there is only a theoretical possibility left to win the championship.
There are even media speculations that they will not even be able to make it to the European stage next season.
So in this case, Magath had no choice but to change direction and specialize in the Champions League and the German Cup.
