Chapter 0080: Abuse the Twin Castles?
In the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season, the 29th round of the Bundesliga season was all over, and Bayern Munich's performance continued to be strong, ranking first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Schalke 04, who were previously third in the league, have been in excellent form in March since losing to city rivals Borussia Dortmund at the end of February, beating a scarcity Bayer Leverkusen to move into second place in the league and even just three points away from Bayern Munich at the top of the table.
Borussia Dortmund currently ranks fourth in the league with 57 points from 29 games, 15 wins, 12 draws and 2 losses, only three points away from Bayer Leverkusen in third place in the league and seven points away from Bayern Munich at the top of the table.
With five rounds left in the league, anything is possible.
However, Tang Zheng received a yellow card in Dortmund's home league win over Werder Bremen, so much so that he accumulated five yellow cards and was suspended, so he missed the next crucial game away to Mainz.
Because Bayern will face a challenge from Bayer Leverkusen at home.
The first and third place in the league will affect the rest of the league.
If Borussia Dortmund can beat Mainz away and Bayern Munich draw with Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table, then Dortmund can close the gap on points.
If you're lucky enough, not to mention the top three in the league, even the league title is hopeful.
But it just so happened that in this good situation, Tang Zheng, who has gradually become the soul of Dortmund, has accumulated five yellow cards and is suspended......
This...... Blow, quite big.
When Klopp took the suspension fax sent by the Football Association, he smiled helplessly.
Recently, the league has not won a row, which has caused him to pay too much attention to the league preparation, and he did not pay attention to the players' cards at all, so that Tang Zheng accumulated four yellow cards and did not pay attention.
But then again, Tang Zheng's suspension against Mainz in the next round is better than Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg in the back.
Tang Zheng, who was automatically suspended for one game, did not go with the team to Mainz, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, and stayed in Dortmund to continue to enrich himself.
Before the start of the 30th round of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season, Mainz ranked 10th in the league with 10 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, accumulating 38 points, 19 points away from Borussia Dortmund, who finished fourth in the league.
But when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the scoreboard showed a score of 0:1
The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.
Borussia Dortmund are now unbeaten in 21 league games from their win over Bochum in the ninth round of the league to their home win over Werder Bremen in the last round, and if you count five more German Cup games, they are unbeaten in 26 games in all competitions.
With an away defeat to Mainz, Dortmund's unbeaten league run came to an end.
Like Bayer Leverkusen, the visitors were expected to beat Nuremberg, only to lose to a relegation-threatening side instead.
The heat will die, and the name is well deserved.
Borussia Dortmund lost by one goal away from home, and manager Jurgen Klopp took all the blame and blame, believing that the team's defeat was due to his own tactical mistakes.
Klopp originally thought that Shaheen could lead the team's overall attack, so he gave Shaheen a lot of authority, but Shaheen is Shahin after all, he is not Tang Zheng.
Shahin's ability to read the game is not as good as Tang Zheng's, which means that he does not know what he should do without tactical restrictions, which causes the team's offensive chaos and has no rules.
If the league can be repeated, Klopp will certainly limit Shaheen's space to organise his team's attack.
Ay......
It's all tears.
Perhaps, this is the gap between a star and a superstar, right?
At least that's what Klopp thinks.
※※※
Dortmund's away league loss to Mainz Tang Zheng watched the live broadcast at home, and he had only one evaluation of the team's attack, that is, there were no bright spots!
And when switching from offense to defense, the core players who didn't pay attention to the opponent at all, and it was normal to be scored by a counterattack.
However, it was not bad luck for Dortmund, Schalke 04 lost 2:4 to Hannover 96 in the league later, and Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek also failed to beat Bayer Leverkusen, which means that Dortmund, who lost away, was not pulled away by the top three.
However, with only four rounds of the league remaining, it is unlikely that they will be able to win the league title, so they will have to try to finish in the top three and qualify for next season's Champions League.
Dortmund's next four league opponents are Hoffenheim, Nuremberg, Wolfsburg and Freiburg.
Of the four league opponents, except for Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg, who have no hope of European competition and are worried about relegation, the remaining Nuremberg and Freiburg will need to fight to stay in the Bundesliga, so these two opponents should not be underestimated, otherwise there is a risk of capsizing in the gutter.
Dying, the potential to burst out is enormous.
However, as the top three in the league have lost points one after another, the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", which has always been unhappy with Tang Zheng, blamed Tang Zheng for Dortmund's away defeat, if it were not for his defensive action too much in the league against Werder Bremen, then Dortmund would have been likely to beat Mainz away from home, thus catching up with Bayer Leverkusen, who ranked third in the league.
So Tang Zheng was very speechless, tactical fouls were originally part of the professional league, how did they change when it came to themselves?
Fortunately, he doesn't particularly care about public opinion, and Dortmund fans still support him as always, but they don't care about the relevant judgments of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
At this time, head coach Klopp took the initiative to accept the media to talk about Tang Zheng's suspension, he said: "Tang Zai's league has made us unbeaten in 26 games in all competitions, ranked fourth in the league, only eight points from the top of the table, I don't know what the intention of a certain media to create public opinion, but what I want to say is that Don's position determines his card rate, which is nothing to say......"
With the support of the fans and the manager, Tang Zheng was in excellent league performance at home to Hoffenheim, first taking advantage of a corner to head the ball into the goal, and then directly assisting Barrios to score the goal to help the team beat Hoffenheim 2-0 at the Westfalfa Stadium.
Nuremberg, who are next away to the possibility of relegation, had problems, and Nuremberg, who had the advantage of being at home, played very tenacious.
They knew that the source of Dortmund's attack was Tang Zheng, so the defense imitated the tactics of Augsburg and Werder Bremen, and defended Tang Zheng in a targeted area throughout the game.
Tang Zheng's fitness was so good that he could almost guarantee that he could run all the time, but Nuremberg, who were on the brink of relegation, burst into a super fight, just like they had won at home to Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table, and they had the advantage of being at home, and Dortmund didn't have much to do.
It's not that Tang Zheng's performance is sluggish, it's that Nuremberg's players are working too hard.
When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and they burst out with super-first-class strength in the face of worrying about survival.
Moreover, Tang Zheng also planned the equalizing goal, otherwise the visiting Dortmund would have ushered in two consecutive defeats away.
They drew 1-1 with Nuremberg, and Tang Zheng also maintained the fine tradition of trying to ensure that the team did not lose in his first appearance.

With Borussia Dortmund's draw at Nuremberg, their April campaign was over and the 2009-2010 season was left with just three games left, two league games and a German Cup final.
With two league games remaining, Borussia Dortmund are eight points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the league table, and their theoretical hope of winning the title is gone.
Borussia Dortmund are four points clear of third-placed Bayer Leverkusen, meaning they still have hopes of finishing third.
It's just that the odds are not high.
They will have to win their remaining two league games while also relying on Bayer Leverkusen's two consecutive defeats.
Bayer Leverkusen's next league opponents are Hertha Berlin and Borussia Mönchengladbach, the former has been relegated early, and the latter has no hope of relegation in Europe, which means that the remaining two games have no desire, and they can only train their newcomers for next season, hoping that next season's results can be improved.
With four points and only two rounds left in the league, the chances of a reversal can be said to be slim.
So Klopp wondered if he should focus on the German Cup final at the end of the season.
Bayern have already beaten Lyon 4-0 on aggregate in the two-legged Champions League semi-finals and can fully turn their attention back to the contention for the league title.
They will not be easy to play against against the next opponents, namely Bochum, who are at risk of relegation, and Hertha Berlin, who are already relegated.
And Bayern are only two points ahead of second-placed Schalke 04, so the next two league games will be very important for them.
If you're not careful, you could lose the league title at the end of the league.
In such a situation, it is unlikely that Bayern Munich will be able to focus on the German Cup final.
Compared to the league title and the Champions League title, the German Cup is like a chicken rib.
However, Borussia Dortmund cannot afford to lose the league as they are just four points clear of fifth-placed Werder Bremen and should at least remain unbeaten in the league at home to Wolfsburg.
At the same time, the Japanese/local media began to pay attention to the upcoming round of the league.
The Japanese/This media remembers that Tang Zheng led Dortmund to defeat Wolfsburg before the winter break, and the Japanese/This media, who visited Westfalun this game, are full of confidence in Makoto Hasebe, and they believe that Makoto Hasebe, who is in good form, can stop Dortmund led by Tang Zheng in the last minute of the league.
The South Korean media are also paying attention to this match, not because they are with the Japanese/local media, but because Dortmund will travel to Baden-Württemberg to face Freiburg after their home league game against Wolfsburg.
The game before the winter break was a big regret for the South Korean media, when Cha Duri was substituted early due to injury, resulting in the East Asian derby not being played in its entirety.
Therefore, many Korean media believe that if Cheuduri was not injured in that game, then Freiburg would have a good chance to beat Dortmund!
Naturally, the Chinese media will not admit it, so they pat their chests and say that Dortmund will abuse the double castle!
