As the champions of the Bundesliga and La Liga in the 2011-2012 season, the league results of the two teams this season are not satisfactory, and Dortmund has won four wins, three draws and one loss in eight rounds of the league, accumulating 15 points.
Real Madrid's performance is even worse, with one win, one draw and two defeats at the start of the league, and they are currently one point less than Borussia Dortmund and fourth in the league, eight points away from Barcelona who are in first place in the league.
However, the Spanish media are still quite optimistic about the prospects of Real Madrid, after all, their strength is here, and the results are also affected by the early stage of the league, and now they are back on the right path.
What worries the Spanish media is Real Madrid's results on the road.
And this is what the German media are most comfortable about.
Borussia Dortmund's poor record this season has been confined to away results, winning all of their home games so far this season, scoring 14 goals and conceding just two.
Such a performance has worried Real Madrid fans and the Spanish media somewhat.
Real Madrid have lost two league games this season to Celta Vigo and Sevilla, and the biggest feature of both teams is the emphasis on ground attack and pressing defense, which happens to be good at Borussia Dortmund, and even in terms of impact, Dortmund is stronger than Celta and Sevilla.
In particular, captain Tang Zheng has been in excellent form during this period, including the national team competitions, and has scored in five consecutive games.
In addition, Dortmund's goals in this season's Champions League were all scored by Tang Zheng.
In the regular press conference before the game, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho did not skimp on his praise, he praised Tang Zheng's super performance during this period, and it is a pity that he could not bring him to the Bernabeu this summer......
Through the media, Tang Zheng learned about Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho's relevant remarks, he smiled and did not respond, but said that he would do his best in the Champions League group stage at Westfala Stadium tomorrow night and win the Galaxy Battleship with his teammates.
It can be said that Dortmund's preparations for the Champions League at home have been very low-key.
It is easy to hear from Klopp's answer to the media interview at the regular pre-match press conference that his answer is not even as sharp as Tang Zheng's.
"A home win doesn't mean we can easily win the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid, we are against one of the best teams in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most expensive player in the world, Real Madrid has too many players to change the game, Mesut Ozil knows us very well......"
At the same time, Chinese media is quite active, both physical and online.
Of course, most of the media is on the side of Dortmund, and they think that Dortmund with Tang Zheng is invincible.
Only a small number of neutral media believe that Real Madrid is not a Raptors, and it is not a problem to win away from Borussia Dortmund, who have only begun to recover in recent form.
In this campaign, Ozil represented Real Madrid in Westphalen to challenge Dortmund, and the German media described Tang Zheng and Ozil as "the peak duel of the two tens".
Among them, there are also British media who join in the excitement and deliberately use Tang Zheng's stand-in to describe Modric.
It's just that to the disappointment of the media, Modric did not respond, and the same style of play he played, unpretentious.
In short, Borussia Dortmund's home game against Real Madrid has so much to talk about.
※※※
Nike's contract renewal talks with Tang Zheng completely collapsed this summer, which also means that there is no possibility of the two working together again, so Nike has given football signing brother Cristiano Ronaldo a task, if Real Madrid beat Dortmund away, he will have a million euros in bonuses.
A two-legged win over Borussia Dortmund in the group stage at home and away would give Nike a total of €3 million.
Three million euros is not a lot for Cristiano Ronaldo's current wealth, but it is not a small amount either.
Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo's quest for victory has almost reached the point of blindness.
Since winning is what you're after, why not if you have an extra bonus in the event of a win?
At the same time, Modric and Mesut Ozil are also full of energy to give Tang Zheng a little color in the focus battle at Westfal Stadium.
They want the media and fans to know that they are no worse than Tang Zheng!
Tang Zheng, who was in the whirlpool, stayed at home and enjoyed a rare warmth with his girlfriend Zhao Lina like a nobody.
On the day of the Champions League match, the city of Dortmund was filled with a frenzied football atmosphere, and Dortmund fans began to gather around the Westlun Stadium, who sat together in groups of three or five, chatting about the Champions League group stage tonight.
They are confident in the Champions League group stage, even against a mighty Real Madrid.
Although the two teams have met five times in the past, Real Madrid are unbeaten with three wins and two draws, but Real Madrid has only won one of their 23 visits to Germany in the past Champions League matches, which has somewhat emboldened die-hard fans.
In the evening, Dortmund fans from all over Germany come to Germany's seventh-largest city by train, flight, and self-drive to cheer on their team.
Among these supporters of Dortmund are some Chinese fans.
Their purpose is relatively simple, in order to cheer for Tang Zheng.
Chinese fans who watched the highlights of TV all sighed that more people are advantages, and there are compatriots everywhere.
Of course, even if there are no Chinese fans to support Tang Zheng, there will be many local German fans who like Tang Zheng to hold high the Chinese flag to show their love and support for Tang Zheng.
So since 2010, there have always been one or two Chinese flags flying high over Westphalia Stadium......
Two hours before the game, players from both sides arrived at Westphalun Stadium by bus.
As in the past, Tang Zheng saw through the glass that a large number of Dortmund fans had gathered in the square outside the stadium, most of them did not have tickets, but in order to support their favorite team, they came to Westfallun Stadium on purpose.
Tang Zheng retracted his thoughts, took off his headphones, followed his teammates in front of him, and lined up to get off the bus.

By the time the entire Dortmund squad showed up to warm up, the Westphalen Stadium was almost full.
At every entrance to the stadium, there were still many fans waiting in line to enter, and as the players from both sides entered the warm-up sprint, the stadium that hosted the Champions League highlight battle was finally filled.
With half an hour to go before the start of the game, players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another, waiting for the game time to come.
At this time, the managers of both sides also got the starting line-up of the other team.
Real Madrid's main left-back Marcelo is out injured, and if nothing else, the position will be replaced by Essien.
Jurgen Klopp saw that the opportunity was Real Madrid's partner in central defence, Pepe and 19-year-old French teenager Raphael Varane.
The tacit understanding between these two people is likely to become a breakthrough point for the team.
Elsewhere, there were no changes, with Xavi Alonso in the back two alongside Khedira, and the three defenders being Di Maria, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo, with Karim Benzema up front.
Mourinho's eyes lit up as he looked at the Dortmund starting list handed over by his assistant Faria.
Borussia Dortmund's main left wing-back Schmelzer is back in the fire line, and he did not play in the league last weekend, which is likely to be the team's breakthrough point!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria could take turns attacking Schmelzer in the game and could find their way.
Ten minutes before the game, UEFA staff knocked on the door of the dressing rooms of both sides, and Mourinho and Klopp quickened the pace to explain the tactical content.
Shortly after, the starters from both sides came out of the dressing rooms in two different directions and converged in the tunnel of the players.
Borussia Dortmund has a number of German internationals in the team, and Real Madrid also has two active German internationals, Mesut Ozil and Khedira, so it is normal for several people to communicate.
Captain Tang Zheng stood at the forefront of the team, unable to take his eyes off it.
The on-site broadcast camera switches to the player's tunnel, and the camera is switched one after another, giving the starting players of the game between the two sides.
Luka Modric was not a starter, he didn't linger in the tunnel and walked straight away.
Naturally, his eyes were attracted by the tall Tang Zheng.
Also looking at Tang Zheng was Ozil, who was wearing a white No. 10 shirt.
Tang Zheng, who didn't squint, felt that someone was looking at him from behind the right side, and instinctively turned his head to look.
He saw Modric and Ozil, with their mid-length hair tied in a headband, and the baby-faced Ozil, the corners of their mouths raised, revealing a smile that seemed to be contemptuous and defiant.
This scene happened to be captured by the live director, and Shen Fangjian, the central 5 commentator in the Beijing live broadcast room, said with a smile: "Tang Zheng's smile is really meaningful, whether it is Ozil or Modric, a large number of European media will call them a substitute for Tang Zheng, this time in the Westphalen stadium staged the focus of the battle, I think they are the most want to prove their Real Madrid players......"
Looking at Tang Zheng's smile, Modric and Ozil didn't know what was wrong, they always felt very angry and wanted to vent.
When they wanted to stare back, Tang Zheng's attention returned to the front, not squinting.
It didn't take long for the Hungarian referee Kaushoi to receive a notification from UEFA's control center that both sides were signaling the game to enter the stadium.
"Whew-"
Suddenly, there was a deafening cheer at Westphalen Stadium.
The two teams stood in a column centered on the referee group at the center of the court.
Immediately, the Champions League theme song "Champions-League" sounded on the live radio, and Tang Zheng's heart adjusted with this passionate song.
In the middle of the stadium, more than a dozen teenagers waved the Champions League logo flag, giving a huge visual impact to the fans on the scene and the fans in front of the TV.
The 2012-2013 Champions League group stage is about to kick off!
