The 2011-2012 Champions League season drew two groups of death, somewhat surprising the media, especially Manchester City, who have been at odds with UEFA's new policy, with Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Napoli in the same group. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The four teams drawn to Group A all have the strength to qualify, a veritable super group of death.

Borussia Dortmund, the 2010-2011 Bundesliga winners, are no better, as they are in Group F, alongside Arsenal, Marseille and Olympiacos.

Except for Olympiacos, who has been playing the belly team in the group stage of the Champions League all year round, it is difficult to compete for a qualifying place, whether it is Dortmund, Arsenal, or Marseille, they all have the strength to qualify.

What makes the German media not very reassuring is that except for Pirlo and Kell, the Bundesliga champions Dortmund have no experience in the Champions League, and the same is true for manager Jurgen Klopp.

And Kyle's participation in the Champions League also dates back to nine years ago, it was his second season with Dortmund, and he, like Dortmund, has been away from such a top European league for nine years, which means that the only player with Champions League experience is Pirlo!

After the draw results were all in, UEFA official Gianni Infantino also announced the exact dates of the six rounds of group stage, the first round on 13/14 September, the second round on 27/28 September, the third round on 18/19 October, the fourth round on 1/2 November, the fifth round on 22/23 November and the final round on 6/7 December.

Borussia Dortmund's first group game after nine years of absence in the Champions League is at 8.45pm local time in Germany on September 13 when they take on Gunners Arsenal in Westfalun.

Dortmund fans sitting in front of the TV can't wait for the Champions League to come, and as former Champions League winners, they want the team's second peak to come again!

Meanwhile, the heads of the top 10 organisations in the South Stand at Westphalun Stadium have come together to discuss a return to the Champions League for their first home pitch after the group stage opponents have been confirmed.

On the second day, the European mainstream media focused on two places, the first was the two groups of death, and the second was the prospect of qualifying for the domestic league teams.

Of course, there is also a lot of media focus on the upcoming European Super Cup.

Borussia Dortmund have been an impressive performer in the past 2010-2011 season, unbeaten all season, and would have gone unbeaten in many more league games had it not been for the 2011-2012 Bundesliga second round away to Hoffenheim.

In the 2010-2011 season, Borussia Dortmund may not have been the top scorer in Europe's top five leagues, but they were definitely the best defensive, conceding just 17 goals in 34 league games.

Eighteen of those league games were clean sheets, meaning that Dortmund's clean sheet rate is as high as 52 per cent.

And their attacking prowess should not be underestimated, scoring a staggering 72 goals in 34 league games, averaging 2.11 goals per game, just 0.39 fewer than the 2.5 goals per game of Cosmos Barcelona.

Considering the peculiarities of La Liga, the Bundesliga, where the gap between rich and poor is not particularly obvious, is obviously more convincing.

Despite the difference in fame between the two teams, the 2011 UEFA Super Cup was a match between the Bundesliga and La Liga, both of which were champions of their respective leagues.

Tang Zheng's performance in the 2010-2011 season was extremely eye-catching, and he was the number one contributor to Dortmund's winning of all competitions, and he was naturally the player most talked about by the media.

The Catalan media "Le Monde Sport" said of Tang Zheng: "Josep's team was invincible last season, but they can't be taken lightly, last season's Bundesliga championship is menacing, and it is the team that conceded the fewest goals in Europe's five major leagues last season, which should not be underestimated......

In fact, most European media set the tone of this European Super Cup as the strongest spear and shield.

In the end, it was Barcelona's strong attacking ability that won the final victory, or Dortmund's leaky defense that had the last laugh.

However, there are some concerns in the German media that this season's Dortmund is a little different from last season.

With Shahin out in both attack and defence, his replacement veteran Andrea Pirlo will struggle to play the role that Shaheen played last season, which means that the strongest shield in the 2011 UEFA Super Cup is a little watery and cannot be as watertight as last season.

Borussia Dortmund fans are not worried, they are confident about the upcoming European Super Cup.

※※※

Even before the 2011-2012 Champions League group draw, there was a lot of media attention on the UEFA Super Cup, especially in Germany, Spain and China.

Although the UEFA Super Cup is as suspicious as every country's Super Cup, it is also an honor in the end, and no one will say no.

Since its restructuring in 1998, the Bundesliga side has not been involved in the so-called European Super Cup.

The last Bundesliga side played in the UEFA Super Cup was back a decade ago, when Champions League champions Bayern Munich lost 3-2 to UEFA Cup winners Liverpool.

Looking further up, it's a bit shocking!

Because the Bundesliga team has not won a European Super Cup yet!

Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, Hamburg all failed......

The two teams met 14 years ago, when then Champions League champions Borussia Dortmund lost 3-1 on aggregate to Barcelona home and away.

This is a great disgrace for the Bundesliga, so Dortmund must take on the responsibility of defending the dignity of the Bundesliga in this UEFA Super Cup.

But in the past three seasons, Barcelona has been called the Cosmos team, and the pass-and-control style of play has swept across Europe.

However, there are also media who are very optimistic about Dortmund, and they also have high pressure that makes the attackers feel helpless.

Dortmund is high pressure + high counterattack, while Guardiola is high pressure + ball control, but the ultimate goal is to send the ball into the opponent's goal, which is the same.

The next advantage is the confidence of the German media, as Dortmund conceded the fewest goals in the entire top five European leagues last season.

Dortmund is not afraid of the opponent's attack, as long as the middle led by Tang Zheng can resist the penetration of Barcelona, plus Pirlo's strategy behind him, why is it difficult to win?

Perhaps feeling the confidence of the German media, the Catalan media led by "Daily Sport" and "World Sports" said that the success rate of high pressing lies in the technical ability of the opponent, and the individual skills of Barcelona players are among the best in the world, even if Dortmund swept the entire Bundesliga with high pressing, there is no way to deter Barcelona.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are not particularly technically capable of their players, and it is likely that they will be educated by Barcelona in the next UEFA Super Cup......

The local media in Dortmund were not happy about this, and they fought back.

The players on both sides are very restrained, and Sanchez, who has just joined Barcelona, is even tweeting Aite Tang Zheng, looking forward to the first matchup between each other!

The Chinese media did not pay much attention to the results, they only focused on Tang Zheng's performance in the first UEFA Super Cup game of the Chinese players.

On the day of the match, exactly four hours before the start of the match, a large number of fans gathered outside the square of the Louis II stadium.

Monaco fans, Dortmund fans and Barcelona fans, as well as many fans who are dedicated to supporting their own players.

Because of the large base, Chinese fans are particularly dazzling outside the square.

Coupled with the five-star red flag on the red background they draped over their shoulders, it can be said that it is the most dazzling existence.

The cooperation between Yang 5 and UEFA has been very solid, they firmly control the exclusive broadcast rights in Chinese mainland, and there are many CCTV reporters who came to Monaco this time.

The two ace commentators, He Wei and Duan Huo, both came to Monaco to make live comments on this European Super Cup.

With two hours to go, both sides will be transported by bus to their designated location at the Louis II Stadium.

The capacity of the Louis II Stadium is only 18,500 people, and the capacity of the Westphalian Lun Stadium and the Camp Nou Stadium has reached more than 80,000, so it is destined that many die-hard fans on both sides will not be able to enter the stadium.

So, before the players arrived at the stadium by bus, it was the last time these fans who had come from afar but did not have tickets to see the players with their own eyes.

Borussia Dortmund fans have always been known for their fanaticism, and they are no different when they come to Monaco this time.

"Whew-"

A large number of die-hard fans erupted in a tsunami of shouts in front of Dortmund's bus ride.

Jurgen Klopp was the first to get off the bus, followed by assistant coaches Jelliko Bwach and Peter Kravitz, who gave a thumbs up to the fanatical fans.

One by one, the players stepped out of the bus, smiling and waving at the fanatic, shoulder bags and headphones.

"Don—"

When Tang Zheng walked out of the bus, the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis had the meaning of shaking the earth.

Tang Zheng waved to the Dortmund fans and the Chinese fans from afar with a smile on his face, while patting his left chest.

It means that you are there, and you have the chance to win!

A large number of reporters surrounded by stadium security personnel kept pressing the shutter button to shoot valuable footage that could be used in the future.

As all the Dortmund players entered the stadium, the fans slowly dispersed and went to the huge LCD screen outside the square to wait for the game to begin.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the pitch, Barcelona arrives at the pitch by bus......

"It's a small pitch. ”

Lewandowski had just come out of the passage of the Stade Louis II and blurted out as he looked at the stands on all sides.

Tang Zheng bent down to tie his shoelaces, looked up at the stadium that hosted the European Super Cup, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This stadium is indeed small.

But...... Small courses also have the advantage of small courts.

Barcelona are good at passing and are fond of playing with the width of the pitch.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng patted Lewandowski and Gotze on the shoulders respectively and said: "Don't be impressed by the size of the stadium, our task is to beat Barcelona, and the small stadium is not necessarily a bad thing for us." ”

"Don't be in a daze, guys! warm up! GOGOGO-"

Oliver Bartletla, the strength and conditioning coach who had just come out of the players' tunnel, raised his voice and clapped his palms vigorously.

The Dortmund players are like piglets that have been driven and start to warm up.

At this time, the starting lists of both sides of the game were announced.

Barcelona fielded the strongest squad, goalkeeper Valdés, four defenders Alves, Mascherano, Abidal and Adriano, three midfielders Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, and three forwards MVP Messi, Villa and Pedro.

Dortmund took into account that the Louis II stadium is too small and the Barcelona players have delicate skills at their feet, and the technical and tactical aspects of this game have changed, and it is not as full of strategy as the Bundesliga and last season's Europa League.

For this reason, Pirlo can only sit on the bench.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, four defenders Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels and Piszczek, double midfielder Gundogan partnered Sven Bender, Tang Zheng stood slightly forward, the two wing-backs were Gotze and Grosskreutz, and Lewandowski was in front.

Barcelona's starting line-up did not surprise everyone, but it was Dortmund's starting line-up that surprised everyone.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif expressed his understanding: "Andre Pirlo on the bench? Is Jurgen Klopp ready to replicate last season's technical and tactical play? Ilkaj Gundogan's characteristics are indeed similar to Nuri Shahin, except that the switch to Real Madrid Nuri Shaheen has more experience......

The Catalan TV commentator saw Dortmund's starting line-up and gave a verdict: "Claro-que!"

The Chinese basically is: look for death!

Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at the starting list in his hand and talked about his concerns: "Barcelona's starting lineup has only made one adjustment, that is, Adriano replaced the central defender Pique who was absent due to injury, and the other positions are exactly the same as the Champions League final at the new Wembley Stadium this summer, such a cosmic team, it is really terrifying, Dortmund's starting lineup is bold and heroic, but youth is their biggest problem......"

Compared with the experienced Barcelona, Dortmund's squad is indeed too young, with an average age of only 23 years old.

In Barcelona, on the other hand, the average age is 27 years old.

In the eyes of football experts, the age of twenty-seven is at the peak of his career, both in terms of physical fitness and game experience.

Can the young Borussia Dortmund beat the experienced Barcelona?

The game did not start, and the result was naturally unknown.

But in the eyes of many, Barcelona has already won half the way.

Tang Zheng doesn't think so, and Dortmund fans don't think so either.

In China, although there is a saying that ginger is still old and spicy, there are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers and punch the master to death......

He instilled these ideas in his teammates long before the game.

Besides, they didn't play against Barcelona, more from the news and videos!

You say you're Team Cosmos, but there are also quite a few people who call us Youth Storm!

The warm-up lasted about 40 minutes, and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room in batches to prepare for the next Super Cup.
