0077 Efficiency is King
Before the first match of the semi-finals of the 2009-2010 German Cup, everyone thought that Dortmund would easily win Augsburg, but the game was unexpectedly full of twists and turns, and they conceded a goal in the first half before equalizing and going into extra time.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's flash at the last moment, it is estimated that there would be a big question mark over whether Dortmund could take the lead in entering the final of this season's German Cup.
A day later, Bayern beat Werder Bremen 2-0 at the Allianz Arena to meet Borussia Dortmund in this season's German Cup final.
When the two teams that reached the final of the German Cup came out, the German media was excited again.
The love-hate relationship between Tang Zheng and Bayern has been played out twice this season, and there is no need for the media to mention it anymore, so this season's German Cup final is destined to become the focus of everyone's attention again.
The match will be played at 7 p.m. local time on May 15, 2010 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
With the German Cup final taking place after the league end, there is no pressure on Dortmund to put all their attention on the league before the German Cup final begins.
However, after 120 minutes of the German Cup semi-finals in midweek, Dortmund did not show the quality they should have when they came to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin to challenge the league's vice-captain Hertha Berlin.
0:0
In the end, Borussia Dortmund drew a goalless draw with Hertha Berlin at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
And if Tang Zheng hadn't performed well on the defensive end in this game, it is estimated that it would be difficult for Dortmund to take away a point.
At the end of the day, it was the midweek German Cup semi-final against Augsburg that took on so much energy that they had not had time to recover from the away league game, which resulted in Hertha Berlin being suppressed at both ends of the pitch, especially on the left side of the defence, with Poland's Piszczek performing very well.
The away draw made Jurgen Klopp once again aware of the lack of depth on the bench.
Dortmund will definitely participate in European competitions next season, and if the bench depth is still the way it is now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to stand out in the third-line battle, and it may even be a third-line rout.
The next day, Klopp took the initiative to come to the office of sporting director Zolke.
In the Bundesliga, the head coach has always managed the team's games, and the sporting director has been in charge of player transfers.
Of course, the sporting director will communicate with the manager when it comes to transfers, otherwise there is a high risk that there will be problems within the team.

Borussia Dortmund have jumped from three consecutive league wins to third place in the league and now three straight draws, and they have also dropped from third to fourth place in the league.
If Borussia Dortmund had been able to maintain their winning streak, they would now be second in the league.
Bayern Munich is as strong as ever, and Bayer Leverkusen, who were unbeaten at the top of the table, have been in terrible form since their shock defeat to Nuremberg, drawing one and losing two in the last three league rounds, and the league ranking has dropped to third.
Schalke 04, who lost to Borussia Dortmund at home, caught up with Bayern Munich at the top of the table with a wave of three consecutive wins.
So when Dortmund won three draws in a row, Schalke 04 fans mocked Dortmund fans: "What if you win the derby? Only we can hope to win the league title!"
Dortmund fans have nowhere to refute this.
After three consecutive wins, there was a three-game draw, which was quite speechless.
But Borussia Dortmund are in the final of this year's German Cup, and considering their unbeaten record against Bayern Munich over two legs in the league, they are confident of the title again!
No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!
Next, Borussia Dortmund returned to Westphalia to welcome Werder Bremen, who had also been in a slump recently.
In the first half of the season, Werder Bremen were second in the league, and after half a season, Werder Bremen are now fifth, four points behind Borussia Dortmund.
The 3:3 score at Weser Stadium is impressive, especially during that period when Dortmund suffered a more serious injury impact, while Werder Bremen was in hot form, if it was not a strong contender for the European Golden Boy Award Tang Zheng held it alone, it is estimated that Dortmund will be difficult to take away a point away from home.
At home, Dortmund fans are full of confidence.
From three consecutive league wins to three consecutive draws in the league, Dortmund is also working hard internally, wanting to sweep away the haze in the next league and win Werder Bremen.
Werder Bremen have not been in good form lately, as coach Schaaf has spoken to the media, but he still says the away game to Westphalia will be won.
The return of Mesut Ozil and Marin will inevitably bring Werder Bremen's attack back to its best!
That's what Jurgen Klopp is most worried about, Ozil is a veritable attacking core for Werder Bremen, and the Weser Stadium meeting in the first half of the season has been proven, so he feels that playing at home should limit Ozil's play.
Meanwhile, Werder Bremen head coach Schaaf, who is preparing for the weekend league game, also studied Dortmund with his assistant, drawing a big circle on the '6' on the tactical board.
Tang Zheng, who joined Dortmund last summer, has performed amazingly this season, contributing ten goals and eleven assists in 27 league games, including three substitute appearances, and is currently the Bundesliga assist king, and in terms of the number of passes and pass success rate, Tang Zheng's statistics are very conspicuous.
Even the number of successful passes, interceptions, tackles, and clearances are in the top few of the major rankings in the Bundesliga.
It can be said that Tang Zheng is the most outstanding player in the Bundesliga this season.
If Dortmund's forward and defensive lines can play a notch better, they will not just be fourth in the league now, but at least a serious contender for the league title.
Bayern Glory Chairman Beckenbauer once said in an interview with the media after the German national derby: "Last summer's failed transfer was a very regrettable decision, fortunately Dortmund's forward line and back line this season are slightly insufficient, otherwise Bayern's strong contender in the league this season is not Bayer Leverkusen, but Dortmund!"
In fact, think about it, what Beckenbauer said is not without basis, in the 28th round of the league this season, Dortmund scored 49 goals, which is not much.
But the defence conceded twenty-seven goals, five more than the first group.
A lot of the time, you can't underestimate five goals, and if it's split into a draw, that's ten points!
In addition, Dortmund's attack relied too much on Tang Zheng, and the team only scored a total of 49 goals, and he personally contributed 21 of them, the absolute core of the attack.
Members of Werder Bremen's coaching staff believe that as long as Tang Zheng is restricted, it will not be a problem to win Borussia Dortmund in the league against Westphalia Lun.
I have participated in the Champions League in a row, and I am really not used to participating in the second-tier Europa League, and I must return to the top three in the league!

At the end of last year, Dortmund challenged Werder Bremen away The most dazzling star is undoubtedly Tang Zheng, Ozil, as the prince of Weser Stadium, was robbed of his role by others in his own field, and he was naturally very unhappy, so this time he came to Westphalen, he was full of energy to help Werder Bremen win three consecutive league victories away from home!
In this regard, the German international Mesut Ozil, who followed manager Schaf to the regular pre-match press conference, said: "Our goal is to win!"
Simple and straightforward!
Violent!
2009-2010 Bundesliga 29th round, Westphalun Stadium.
In the eighteenth minute, Mesut Ozil made good on his promise at his pre-match press conference when an assist from Pizarro found the back of the net for Weidenfeller.
During this time, Tang Zheng's performance was quite sluggish.
In addition to doing well in the defensive phase, the offense was particularly bad.
The defensive task assigned by Scharaf is to carry out targeted local defense against Tang Zheng - from offense to defense, as long as anyone is around Tang Zheng, he must go up to restrict him at the first time, even if it is a foul.
This extreme choice caught Dortmund at home a little off guard, so it was not possible to organize an effective attack after the opening, but Ozil took advantage of a mistake in Dortmund's back line to pass the ball to Pizarro who burst into the box and fired a low shot.
The Werder Bremen fans who came to Westphalia were particularly excited, and in the case of Tang Zheng's sluggish performance, Mesut Ozil's excellent performance meant that they could take away the three points!
Jurgen Klopp paced back and forth in the home team's coach's technical command area, and he really didn't expect Schaff to choose a local full-court marking for this game.
And in terms of effect, it is very good.
Tang Zheng has done almost nothing on the offensive end in the past eighteen minutes.
The game restarted, and the Dortmund players who kicked off looked a little anxious.
Originally, Tang Zheng hoped that the team could control the pace of the game and use the team's overall advancement to attack forward, but three consecutive draws in the past league made his teammates too aggrieved.
Now that you are behind at home, how can you not be in a hurry?
Besides, now Tang Zheng is very severely restricted, and there is no way to help the team in the team's offense, so he can only make the ball through active running, or make up for the gaps left by the offensive players.
It wasn't until half an hour into the game that the Dortmund players on the pitch realized that the attack should be gradual.
Why?
Because...... Borussia Dortmund have conceded again!
Half an hour
0:2
Home team in front, away team in the back!
Tang Zheng has nothing to do about this lost goal, Shaheen has not come back to organize the attack in the front, he can only step forward to defend Ozil, but the opponent passed a reverse corner, Subotic and Santana's central defender partner is obviously not tacit enough, Marin received Ozil's wonderful pass into the penalty area, attracted enough attention and suddenly crossed the middle, Portuguese center Almer scrambled to score.
From 0:1 to 0:2, Tang Zheng was not directly responsible, but as the core of the team, he failed to stand up when the team was in trouble, and he should be responsible.
Therefore, when his teammates were depressed, Tang Zheng reminded his teammates through words and body movements that the offense should endure loneliness.
Efficiency is king.
