Chapter 292: Klopp Loses Control of the Locker Room?

In the past seven rounds of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season, Bayern ranked first in the league with 21 points from seven consecutive wins in the opening game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Borussia Dortmund, who won the Bundesliga in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, managed a measly 12 points.

Just past 1/5 in the league, the huge point difference has already been reflected, which has somewhat disappointed the media supporting Dortmund.

The pressure on Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp is very high, and there have been "big revelations" in the media recently that he has lost control of the dressing room, and at the same time, the factions in the dressing room are in disarray, and no one is convinced by each other.

For example, the German local gang led by Gotze and Hummels, the Polish gang led by Lewandowski, and the neutral gang led by Tang Zheng, that is, the supporters of head coach Klopp.

At the end of the international break, Tang Zheng led the Chinese team to defeat Qatar away from home, thus ranking first in Group A of the Asian zone of the World Preliminaries.

Tang Zheng, who returned to the team quickly, was in a very good mood, his competitive form was even better than the amazing performance at the beginning of the season, and manager Jurgen Klopp was relieved while feeling the pressure.

Tang Zheng was the first player he insisted on buying from the team, but in the summer of 2009 he was under great pressure, knowing that Dortmund's financial situation at that time was not very good, and it was necessary to make a great determination to come up with a transfer fee of 12 million euros and a budget of more than 2 million euros in annual salary.

At that time, Klopp struggled to persuade Zolke to join CEO Watzke in issuing a military order, saying that he would resign if he did not win the league title within two years.

Watzke thought about it for a long time before finally pulling out the checkbook......

These things are unknown to the outside world.

Jurgen Klopp retracted his thoughts and returned his attention to the footage of Schalke 04 this season, which he did during the two international breaks, with training handed over to Gerliko Bouácz and the tactical side of the game being studied by him and Peter Kravitz.

With the international break in October over and the attention of the European media returning to their home leagues, there is an undercurrent in German football.

Tang Zheng has a clear goal of helping the team beat Schalke 04 in the league at the weekend and take three points.

At present, the team is a full nine points behind Bayern Munich, and with such a large gap in points, the only way to keep themselves from making mistakes is to wait for the opponent to make mistakes, otherwise closing the gap between them is tantamount to a dream.

As a result, in the one-day training session, Tang Zheng did not practice at the training ground, but walked to the footbonaut training room for additional training.

The effect of the footbonaut training room is really very good, Tang Zheng felt it especially in the away game in Qatar, all kinds of irregular balls are handled in an orderly manner, and the shooting has improved significantly.

With the Ruhr derby getting closer, it is necessary to consolidate the final goal.

However, this Ruhr derby has lost a lot of excitement for Chinese fans, and Chinese international Hao Junmin is in a recovery period, which means that the Ruhr Chinese derby is likely to not be staged.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon of October 20, local time in Germany, the eighth round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season was staged at the Lun Stadium in Westfa, and Dortmund hosted Schalke 04.

On the other side, Bayern Munich travels to Fortuna Dusseldorf.

The two matches are played at the same time, whether it is CCTV 5 or other TV stations that have purchased the Bundesliga broadcast rights, they will give priority to the broadcast of the 141st Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 in this round.

※※※

Schalke 04 suffered a tumultuous 2010-2011 season, recovered last season and reached the Champions League, and have been doing well so far this season, even two points more than defending champions Borussia Dortmund in seven league games.

Therefore, the Ruhr derby at the Lun Stadium in Westphafranca has a lot more to see.

Can Dortmund, who dominated the Bundesliga last two seasons, regain their glory, and Schalke 04 can win their first Ruhr derby win in the last four seasons.

Borussia Dortmund, who play at home, have made some changes to their line-up, as left-backs Schmelzer and Gotze have been plagued by injuries of varying degrees during the international break, which directly affects the attack on the left flank.

Of course, this has something to do with Borussia Dortmund's Champions League group stage challenge for Real Madrid next week.

Compared with the league championship that is getting farther and farther away, the breakthrough of the Champions League is particularly important.

The only consolation for Borussia Dortmund fans is the return of veteran Andrea Pirlo to the starting line-up for this Ruhr derby.

Klopp's solution was to switch formations, and they changed from the usual four-two-three-one formation to a variant of the three-five-two formation.

Sven Bender played in central defence alongside Hummels and Subotic, while Andrea Pirlo partnered Gundogan in a double midfield, with Tang Zheng in the middle.

On the left is the physical maniac Grosskreutz, on the right is Piszczek, Reus plays as a second striker, and Lewandowski is up front.

For Dortmund's sudden change of formation, Schalke 04 coach Jens Keller, who got the starting lineup, vaguely felt a little bad.

At the beginning of the game, Dortmund launched a wave of dangerous attacks under the cheering and shouting of 80,000 fans at home, Pirlo received Tang Zheng's cross without stopping, and passed diagonally to Piszczek on the right side at high speed, who crossed directly without stopping.

Lewandowski pressed Matip to the football, and Unesthal, who was standing in front of the goal, subconsciously reached out to block the football that was not too tricky, and the Westphasco Lun stadium resounded with the first deafening regret.

Lewandowski, who missed the great opportunity, pulled his hair with both hands, looking quite regretful.

The next corner was still won by the Borussia Dortmund players, and Hummels did not adjust his crosshair under the interference of Hevedes and went wide of the post.

Before the game restarted, Schalke 04 coach Jens Keller stood on the sidelines and signaled the players to pay attention to the quick crosses from the two wings, and at the same time pay attention to the protection in the penalty area.

Jens Keller proved to be very forward-looking, and the emphasis on the use of the two wings in the 352 formation, whether it was offensive or defensive, was the use of the two wings.

With the premise deployment, the defense has also become handy, and it is no longer as worrying Schalke 04 fans as it was at the beginning.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Westphalia Lun Stadium is still the same, and the home fans are happy to create a terrifying atmosphere and disrupt the visiting Schalke 04.

However, the first team to score was the visiting Schalke 04......

In the 14th minute, Farfan received a return pass from Atsuto Uchida on the right and sent a direct cross, Sven Bender, who has been playing in the back since his debut, had a serious misunderstanding with central defender Hummels, and he pushed back hard but did not push the ball out of the box.

Ambushed on the left side of the penalty area, former Barcelona player Afele met the ball and shot angrily, although the shot did not eat the right part, but the victory was tricky at the angle, and there was a bounce in front of the goal, goalkeeper Weidenfeller could not save the team, and the visiting Schalke 04 took the lead.

The visitors did not allow a large number of fans to enter the stadium due to safety concerns, leaving only 3,000 tickets, so the Schalke fans who came to watch the game were the elite of the elite who showed their presence in the slump at the Westphalun Stadium.

The 80,000 home fans were indifferent at this moment in the face of the ostentatious display of their sworn enemies.

The live director switched cameras to the Schalke fan area in the Northeast Stands, where they held up Smurfs posters and extreme fans hung upside-down banners with the Dortmund name to show off their team's ability to surpass Dortmund in the league this season.

Immediately, the camera switched again, this time it was Dortmund captain Tang Zheng on the field, he clapped his palms hard, and after his teammates looked at it, he shouted vigorously: "This is the Iduna Signal Park Stadium, our territory! I don't know what you are worried about! The game has only started a quarter of an hour, and there is time to equalize and overtake! What is the reason why the defeated army will have enough teeth? Just beat them!"

With Tang Zheng's morale boosted, manager Jurgen Klopp, who was still a little worried on the sidelines, returned to the dugout to discuss with his assistants Gerliko Bouquez and Peter Kravitz what changes should be made in the next game to equalise as soon as possible.

However, Klopp's worries were completely unfounded, and just two minutes after the game restarted, Tang Zheng, who was in good form, helped Dortmund equalise under the noses of 80,000 home fans.

He received a back-heel pass from Reuss outside the penalty area without making any adjustments, and directly picked up his right foot in an exaggerated manner.

Neustadt, who stood at the top of the arc of the big penalty area to protect himself, was instinctive, with his hands behind his back, ready to block Tang Zheng's long-range shot with his flesh and blood.

"Long shot? a little ......reckless" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was just about to say that Tang Zheng's choice was a bit 'reckless', but he saw that Tang Zheng's right foot in the broadcast shot was just a false shot, and the whole killing move was behind.

I saw that the inside of his right foot pushed the football to the left, and Neustadt had not yet landed at this time, which means that the back line of Schalke 04 could not do anything about Tang Zheng's next choice.

At the beginning of October, Tang Zheng scored a wonderful left-footed long-range shot at the Etihad Stadium, so Schalke 04 goalkeeper Unestal was very prepared, but when he saw the quality of Tang Zheng's long-range shot, he gave up making a save and chose to look at the 'save'.

Tang Zheng's left-footed long-range shot is of extremely high quality, and the angle is tricky even when he is full of power.

The ball almost grabs the inside of the left post of the goal and rolls into the goal until it encounters a snow-white net, and then slowly rolls back into the field.

"Whew-"

The Westphalen stadium finally rang out with a long-lost shout, deafening.

Live announcer Norbert Darkel shouted in a frenzied frenzy: "The player who scored a goal for the great Borussia Dortmund is—"

"--Tang !!"

The 80,000 fans raised their hysterical voices, and the whole stadium resounded with a deafening loud sound, so much so that those fans who came to the scene to watch the Dortmund game for the first time wrote a big 'bewildered' word on their faces.

At the critical moment, it depends on Tang Zheng!
