Chapter 366: The Fifth Yellow Card
"Whew-"
With the whistle of referee Kaushoi, the first leg of the 2012-2013 Champions League semi-finals came to an end, and finally ended with Dortmund's 4-0 home victory over Barcelona. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Dortmund fans in the stands were so excited that they could not contain their emotions and created a deafening loud cheer.
The camera of the live broadcast switched back and forth between Tang Zheng and Lewandowski one after another.
The meaning is very obvious, who is the best player in this game?
Tang Zheng contributed one goal and three assists.
Lewandowski has three goals and was the key point for Borussia Dortmund to crush Barcelona.
Regardless of the starting point, both of them have a good chance of being the best on the spot.
Of course, these things are a headache for the UEFA working group, Tang Zheng and Lewandowski did not pay attention to these at all, and they are now only left to vent.
The last time Barcelona lost by four goals was 20 years ago, when Barcelona lost the Champions League 0:4 to AC Milan, so many fans wondered if Barcelona's defeat would mean that Dortmund would have a good chance of winning the Champions League this season.
At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei was ecstatic: "The game is over! Dortmund sat at the Iduna Signal Park Stadium with a goal and three assists from Chinese international Tang Zheng 4:0 beat Barcelona, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals will be played at the Camp Nou next Tuesday, but the first leg score difference is too big, I think the suspense of the second leg at the Camp Nou will not be very large......"
Perhaps realizing that the second leg of the game was a bit far, He Wei changed his voice and focused on Tang Zheng: "Tang Zheng's play in this game can be said to be very rebellious, it is not too much to describe him beating Barcelona alone, one goal, three assists, and his role on the defensive end is also obvious, if there is no amazing play of Tang Zheng on the defensive end, I think Messi and other Barcelona stars are likely to play their own rhythm, and the game should develop in another direction......"
The frenetic atmosphere at Westphapha-Lun Stadium is full of excitement, and every home fan in attendance has their share of the action.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
The same can be said here, where each individual fan gathers as a whole, and the sound they make is very powerful.
However, Tang Zheng's celebration did not last long, and as the captain, he had other things to do.
For example, to appease the opponent.
Sanchez had a great influence on Tang Zheng's career, and if it had not been for Sanchez's unremitting teaching during the River Plate period, Tang Zheng's personal family would not have been as skilled as they are now.
Football is a very cruel sport, and there are winners and losers.
Tang Zheng won, Sanchez lost.
Tang Zheng walked to Sanchez, who was lying on the grass, stretched out his hand and shook it: "Hey~ Do you want to get up?"
"Huh?" Sanchez saw that it was Tang Zheng, his depressed expression changed, and he stood up along Tang Zheng's outstretched right hand.
"You guy, you've won again. Sanchez said helplessly.
"! Don't look at whose home turf it is. ”
Tang Zheng still had that very unbeaten expression, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, raising a good-looking arc.
Sanchez was speechless and gave a roll of his eyes.
Immediately, Tang Zheng's right hand put on Sanchez's right shoulder and rubbed Sanchez's hair.
And the reporters on the sidelines also picked up their cameras and took wild pictures of the two of them.
Tang Zheng is 1.94 meters tall, Sanchez is 1.68 meters, the difference between the two is a full 26 centimeters, and the first feeling is the height difference between Meng.

The on-site director also entrusted the camera to Barcelona's star Messi, but Messi did not appear in the camera for a long time, not that the director did not give Messi time to appear, but not long after the game, Messi walked to the player tunnel by himself.
If it is placed in normal times, Dortmund fans will definitely boo Messi, but now Dortmund fans have a higher pattern, and winning Barcelona 4-0 at home is equivalent to saying that the pressure of the second leg is minimized, and it is only a matter of time before they qualify for this season's Champions League final.
The general of the defeated army, why worry about it?
Visiting manager Pep Guardiola was in a bad mood but still had to take the lead, as he walked out onto the pitch after completing the necessary handshake with Jurgen Klopp and pulling up the players who had fallen to the ground as if they had been eliminated.
This scene touched many fans in front of the TV.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei shook his head and sighed: "This is Guardiola's last season in charge of Barcelona, last season stopped in the Champions League semi-finals, this season is very likely not to be in the footsteps of the season, as an excellent manager, he does not allow his coaching resume to be flawed, so before parting, he hopes to leave a heavy Champions League trophy, but Tang Zheng's performance is really good......

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona ended at 10.40pm local time in Germany, but not many fans left the stadium early and enjoyed the hard-earned victory.
It wasn't until around half past eleven in the evening that the fanatical Dortmund fans slowly left the pitch under the persuasion of the players on the field.
Therefore, Tang Zheng followed head coach Jurgen Klopp to attend the regular post-match press conference at nearly 12 p.m. local time in Germany......
But as the saying goes, good food is not afraid of being late.
Borussia Dortmund's 4-0 win at home to Barcelona almost meant they had half of their feet in the Champions League final this season.
But Klopp's answer was still relatively conservative, completely lacking the momentum of the game, and his posture was very low: "We have a second leg, Barcelona have won the Champions League twice in three years, their overall strength is very strong, and there is still suspense about qualification, and we are still interested in the German national derby next weekend......
Many reporters rolled their eyes at Klopp's gesture.
Is there still suspense at home 4:0?
If you don't pretend to force you, you'll die?
Of course, Jurgen Klopp is right, as Borussia Dortmund face league leaders Bayern Munich next weekend.
The crucialness of this game is arguably the most important game of the season for Borussia Dortmund!
According to their respective league status, as long as there is no winner or loser in this German national derby, there will be no suspense about the Bundesliga title this season.
Borussia Dortmund must beat Bayern Munich at home if they want to win the league three times!
The 4-0 win at home to Barcelona is certainly welcome, but there is no room for relaxation, otherwise they will be beaten by the mighty Barcelona at home......
Not to mention the loss of face, it will also affect the mental state of the German national derby next weekend.
Klopp's questions were decent, not the 'explosive' answers that media reporters wanted to hear, so they focused their attention on Tang Zheng.
The German newspaper "Bild" took the lead in asking Tang Zheng: "Does the big win over Barcelona in the home semi-finals mean that you will get a break in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals?"
Tang Zheng first turned his head to look at Klopp, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then faced the middle-aged reporter who asked the question, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Rest? No, even if Jurgen asks me to sit on the bench to prepare for next weekend's Bundesliga, I will take the initiative to ask for it, don't ask why, because we haven't confirmed our Champions League final!"
Tang Zheng's answer to reporters' questions looked very comfortable and relaxed, but in fact, when it came to the end, he was murderous.
He was eliminated by Barcelona last season, but he has been haunted by it!
Immediately afterwards, a reporter asked Tang Zheng about the Champions League championship that he talked about in an interview with the media earlier.
Tang Zheng said bluntly: "Why not?"

The following day, the focus of the World Football media coverage revolved around the two Champions League semi-finals that ended in midweek.
The direct clash between the Bundesliga and La Liga ended with the Bundesliga winning perfectly!
First, Bayern beat Real Madrid 4-1 on Tuesday night, and then Borussia Dortmund played even more neatly on Wednesday night, slaughtering Barcelona 4-0.
Many industry insiders believe that as long as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund ensure that they are not underestimated, the chances of meeting in this season's Champions League final are infinitely close to 100%.
However, some German media talked about the German national derby after the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, and they were a little worried that the two teams would be distracted.
Winning by a big score is sometimes a double sharp blade, and it's okay to use it well, but it's a big problem if it's not used well.
While criticising Real Madrid's poor away results and Barcelona's poor results, the Spanish media deliberately created an atmosphere of a big comeback at home, especially in Madrid, who insisted that Real Madrid had the possibility of a comeback.
Although Real Madrid lost 1-4 away, Real Madrid got a precious away goal, which meant that they only needed to win 3-0 to reverse the promotion when they returned to the Bernabeu.
The Catalan media naturally wanted Barcelona to come back to advance, but the pressure of four goal difference can be imagined, and Alves will accumulate yellow cards and be suspended for the second leg of the home game, which means that Barcelona are missing a very important attacking point.
The Chinese media and fans have been very happy in the past few days, and Tang Zheng's excellent performance has made the media reporters arouse the enthusiasm of the fans no matter how they blow Tang Zheng.
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, one goal, three assists.
Of course, there is also the horse joint venture that Tang Zheng helped Dortmund open the scoring.
Tang Zheng, who is 1.94 meters tall, has completed several people who can only be completed by Maradona and Messi, and is a unique existence in world football, even Zidane, who has infinitely reached the height of the third generation of football kings, has not completed it.
Media coverage has abounded, and the attention of the entire Borussia Dortmund squad has quickly shifted from the Champions League back to the domestic league.
In the past 30 rounds of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season, the leader Bayern Munich is only two points ahead of Dortmund, and after one round, the two teams will play the second leg of the German national derby at the Westphalun Stadium.
The same can be said of Heynckes' Bayern Munich players, who have turned a deaf ear to media reports and are focused on their upcoming league opponents.
Borussia Dortmund's opponents are North Rhine-Westphalun capital side Fortuna Dusseldorf and Bayern Munich's opponents are Freiburg.
In terms of league standings, Freiburg have played reasonably well this season, and after 30 rounds of the league, they are fifth in the league on goal difference, just one point away from next season's Champions League qualification.
Champions League qualification is a coveted one for a perennial team that has been aiming for relegation all year round.
The opportunity is in front of us, and we must fight!
Fortuna Dusseldorf, as a promoted horse, is the relegation favorite offered by major bookmakers in Europe, and is now deep in the relegation circle, but the explosiveness of the relegation team is often not to be underestimated.
Moreover, Dortmund play away from home, while Bayern play at home.
Both teams are at risk in their respective leagues, as they are still handing out the second leg of next week's Champions League semi-final.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are not fish belly teams, even if they win the first leg, they can't take the second leg lightly, otherwise they will become the laughing stock of everyone.
At half past four p.m. local time on Saturday, Bayern Munich faced Freiburg at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern were a bit passive in the opening stages, but the leaders were the leaders after all, and Thomas Muller seized a chance that was not a chance to help Bayern take the lead and maintain the score 1-0 until the end of the game.
At 7:30 p.m., Esprit Arena, Fortuna Dusseldorf hosts Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund made just four changes to their midweek line-up, with Grosskreutz and Kuba replacing Gotze and Reuss respectively, Saheen replacing Gundogan and Santana replacing Hummels.
To the disappointment of the Chinese media and fans, Chinese goalkeeper Yan Junling, who moved to Borussia Dortmund this winter, did not make the start, and the healthy Weidenfeller continued to guard the door of Dortmund.
Considering the particularity of the goalkeeper position, it is not surprising that Yan Junling did not become a rotation player.
With four rounds of the league remaining, Werder Bremen, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Augsburg and Hoffenheim are all relegated in addition to Gretelhof's early relegation.
Fortuna Dusseldorf are fourth from bottom in the league, six points ahead of second-placed Hoffenheim and three points ahead of third-from-bottom Augsburg, but the opposition ahead is strong, so the desire to play at home is very strong.
So much so that Borussia Dortmund, who slaughtered Barcelona at home in midweek, played rather passively at the Esprit Arena and didn't even have a shot on goal in the first ten minutes.
In the first half hour, the ratio of shots on goal between the two sides was 7:2, and Fortuna Dusseldorf was far ahead at home.
However, football is a sport that cannot be compared with statistics, and the performance of strong teams lies in the control of opportunities.
Before the end of the first half, Tang Zheng took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to help Dortmund break the deadlock.
In the second half, Fortuna Dusseldorf fought hard to increase their attack, but the defensive line was full of holes, with substitutes Reus and Schiebert scoring two goals in quick succession.
A slight shortcoming was goalkeeper Weidenfeller tripping the opposition striker and conceding a penalty.
The referee gave a yellow card and a penalty package, and Fortuna Dusseldorf saved face with the penalty here.
After the game, Duan Huo, the central 5 commentator, suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "If I am not mistaken, the yellow card Weidenfeller received is his fifth yellow card this season, that is, the next round of the national derby away from Bayern will not be in the squad for the game......"
