Borussia Dortmund's 5-0 thrashing of Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Westphalad Stadium did not please the media, as the victory came at home, while Dortmund's poor results this season have come on the road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, Dortmund will only be challenged in the second round of the Champions League group stage when they challenge Manchester City in midweek.

In the past six rounds of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga, Bayern Munich ranked first in the league with 18 points from six wins, and Dortmund ranked third in the league with three wins, two draws and one loss in six games.

However, Dortmund is already seven points away from Bayern Munich at the top of the table, and from the current situation, Bayern Munich's probability of making mistakes is very low, and it will be difficult for Dortmund to achieve a third consecutive league title.

However, as the Champions League matchday approaches, the focus of the German media has shifted to the Champions League in midweek.

The three teams representing the Bundesliga had an impressive first round of group stage performances, with Bayern beating Valencia 2-1 at home, Schalke 04 beating Olympiacos 2-1 away and Borussia Dortmund beating Ajax 1-0 at home.

In this campaign, the three teams representing the Bundesliga, except for Dortmund, who will face the horror of the death group, Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich are not strong opponents, especially Bayern will challenge the fish belly team Borisov away from home.

Considering that Bayern have won eight consecutive games in all competitions since the league, even if they win against Belarusian Borisov, after all, the opponent is a recognized fish belly team.

But...... The unexpected appeared.

The visiting Bayern Munich lost 3-1 to Borisov, and it is worth mentioning that Ribery and Kroos each had a shot on the post.

Borisov's home win over Bayern Munich quickly became the biggest upset in the second round of the 2012-2013 Champions League group stage, while the other strong teams won the day.

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 match the Ruhr side on matchday.

The 2012-2013 Premier League and Bundesliga seasons have also gone through six rounds, and the defending Premier League champion Manchester City has a general start to the new season, with three wins and three draws in six games, accumulating 12 points, ranking fourth in the league, scoring 12 goals, an average of two goals per game.

At the same time, the backline conceded eight goals, which is the most of any team in Group 1.

Borussia Dortmund have conceded eight goals in six games like Manchester City, but have scored 16 goals.

The just-concluded league game was a 5-0 home win over Borussia Mönchengladbach, while Manchester City only beat West Ham 2-1.

Of course, these data are not representative of the future process and results of the game, and can only be used as a reference.

In the regular press conference before the game, the managers of both sides of the game were full of confidence in the upcoming group stage.

Jurgen Klopp said that a poor away league result would not be carried over to the Champions League, and said that the atmosphere in the team is good, so the team that wins at the Etihad Stadium will be Borussia Dortmund!

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is also confident of the upcoming home games, they are still unbeaten at home this season, with a horrific unbeaten record of 18 wins and one draw at home in the league last season, and the last home defeat was a 2-1 defeat at home to Everton in the 18th round of the 2010-2011 season.

Manchester City are unbeaten in 33 league games at the Etihad Stadium, so how can they lose at home?

Moreover, Dortmund have a poor away record this season, conceding six goals in the last two away games, and Mancini has enough reason to believe that Manchester City will win Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium!

Balotelli, who was thinking about life at the European Championships this summer, said in an interview with the media: "With a defense like Dortmund, I can score three goals in a single game!"

Originally, the atmosphere between the two sides was very good before the game, but Balotelli's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Dortmund's main central defender Hummels, saying: "Three goals?

Balotelli responded via Twitter: "Shut up! ”

In the World Cup qualifiers of the last international break, Germany narrowly beat Austria 2-1 at home, and after the game, Hummels expressed his dissatisfaction with captain Lahm, only to be beaten by team leader Bierhoff after the game.

So Balotelli's words are tantamount to revealing a scar.

Hummels is also not good at stubble, retweeting Balotelli's reflections on the group stage of the European Championship against Spain on his personal social network Twitter.

So, the show was staged.

Manchester City's 2-3 defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the first round is tantamount to a bad start to the Champions League season, and if they fail to win the next home group stage, it will be unfavorable for the home and away group stage in the third and fourth rounds.

Coach Roberto Mancini knows this, and the fans know this, so the 2012-2013 Champions League Group D second round at the Etihad Stadium was a frenzied affair with the visiting Borussia Dortmund players receiving a warm welcome.

Of course, the enthusiasm is to put double quotation marks, and the home fans are not so enthusiastic, starting with the warm-up of the Dortmund players and not stopping until they return to the dressing room to prepare.

In the dressing room of the away team, manager Jurgen Klopp said very seriously: "We have not won the league away this season, except for the first round of the German Cup, we have not won away from home, I think everyone is also feeling a lot of pressure these days, and the best way to silence the media who want to silence the rest is to win! Manchester City is under more pressure than us, they lost to Real Madrid in the first round, but we won at home......"

At the same time, Mancini is also making a final mobilization, inciting the emotions of the players: "...... As I said in my regular pre-match press conference, we are unbeaten in our last 33 home games, 26 of which have been victories, and Borussia Dortmund have had a rough run on the road lately and will definitely want to pick up points at our home stadium, so this is our chance. ”

Speaking of which, Mancini's attention is on David Silva and Sergio Aguero: "David, Sergio. ”

Roberto Mancini explained the tactics at the top, and Balotelli shook his head and sneered below, he thought the manager would send himself out for the crucial game, but it turned out to be on the bench.

Bad luck!

Yesterday he was 'hot' with Hummels on social networking sites, but today he played as a substitute, which made him feel a little unhappy, so he secretly cursed the team for conceding the first goal, and then Mancini would think of himself......

In the blink of an eye, the players in the dressing rooms of both sides of the game were reminded by UEFA staff that they should go to the players' tunnel and wait for the game.

Borussia Dortmund's Champions League group stage away from home to Manchester City kicked off at 8:45 p.m. local time on October 3, and the referee on duty was the famous Italian referee Rizzoli.

With Rizzoli's whistle, the 2012-2013 Champions League Group D was announced.

CCTV 5 commentator He Weifang gave the standard line: "CCTV, CCTV, the game you are watching now is the second round of the 2012-2013 Champions League Group D, the English Premier League team Manchester City sits at the Etihad Stadium to face Dortmund from the Bundesliga......"

In this game, both sides fielded the strongest lineups at the moment.

The home team has goalkeeper Joe Hart and a back four of Sabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic and Klich.

Midfielders Xavi Garcia, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Nasri, with Sergio Aguero and Dzeko up front.

Although Manchester City submitted the official formation of 442, it is more like the current popular 4231 in international football from the position after the start of the game, Yaya Toure and Xavi Garcia are paired in the back, David Silva is in the middle, Nasri and Aguero are left and right, and Dzeko is in the front.

Dortmund followed the 423 formation, goalkeeper Weidenfeller, four defenders Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek, the two midfielders are Tang Zheng and Gundogan, Gotze is in the middle, Reus and Kuba are left and right, and Lewandowski is in the front.

Manchester City's first attack in front, as soon as the football reached the feet of David Silva, Tang Zheng pounced.

David Silva is the kind of player who has a lot of vision and a good reading of the game, and he is very quick on his feet.

He noticed an opposing player in a yellow jersey rushing towards him, and quickly kicked the ball back.

Tang Zheng didn't have time to brake and hit David Silva directly, and the referee Rizzoli's whistle also sounded, but Tang Zheng was not given a yellow card, not even a warning.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany was not satisfied, he appealed forward, and the result was equally unsatisfactory.

David Silva, who was knocked to the ground by Tang Zheng, spat out the grass clippings in his mouth, rubbing his aching right arm while looking at Tang Zheng.

Just then, the corners of Tang Zheng's mouth raised an evil smile and looked at David Silva.

David Silva frowned, knowing it was going to be a tough match.

At the same time, Sky TV commentator Andy Gray commented on the first meeting between Tang Zheng and David Silva: "If I am not mistaken, Don's foul is a strong mental deterrent, and he will be directly opposite David Silva in the midfield position in this game." ”

"In the 2011-2012 season, David Silva was the Premier League assist leader and Don was the Bundesliga assist leader. Commentator Martin Taylor continued: "In a sense, whoever performs better in this game has a better chance of winning. ”

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said: "In less than a minute of the game, Tang Zheng used a foul to break up an attack of Manchester City, but I always felt that this foul was a bit unnecessary. ”

As soon as the words fell, the commentator Xu Yang said: "From a defensive point of view, it is indeed unnecessary, but from the perspective of tactical suppression, it is very necessary, Tang Zheng wants to have the effect of telling David Silva that if he wants to find a breakthrough from me, there is no door!"

"David Silva was the Premier League assist king last season, Manchester City's attack was basically initiated by him, Tang Zheng did this is also reasonable, Dortmund's recent away results are not satisfactory, if you want to take away points at the Etihad Stadium, the first place to solve is defense!"
