Chapter 224: FIFA Golden Globe Award Twenty-Three Candidates List

The scoreboard at the Emirates Stadium was 1-1, and it stimulated the Arsenal players at home, so they took advantage of the kick-off advantage to quickly attack the Dortmund goal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Borussia Dortmund's players were well positioned and kept at a reasonable distance from each other, failing to allow the lagging Arsenal to find space to create chances.

Manager Arsene Wenger returned to the dugout to discuss with his assistants how to make the next adjustments.

Although a draw at home to Borussia Dortmund is reluctantly acceptable, if you take into account the draw for the 1/8 finals, this game must be won, otherwise it is unrealistic to expect Dortmund to lose at home in the final round.

Arsenal's strong attack did not have the desired effect, but was almost overtaken by Dortmund by a quick counterattack.

This result almost scared Arsene Wenger, and if he had to choose between a loss and a draw, he would definitely choose a draw, after all, losing at home is a difficult result to accept, especially a Premier League giant like Arsenal, who cannot afford to lose at home!

Because losing would be very shameful!

With no choice but to ask his team to slow down the attacking tempo and create a threat through patient channeling.

Two minutes later, Borussia Dortmund made the second change of the game, with Gundogan coming on in place of captain Kehl.

The captain's armband was handed over to the left arm of the second captain Tang Zheng on the field, and Yang 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "Tang Zheng is not the first Chinese to log in the Champions League, but he is definitely the first Chinese player to wear the captain's armband to participate in the Champions League!"

Tang Zheng at the Emirates Stadium didn't have much mood swing, he just felt the responsibility of the captain's armband.

As the game entered the 75th minute, Arsenal were also ready to make a second substitution, with the more attacking Israeli international Benayoun replacing Ramsey, who was relatively balanced in attack and defence.

However, this substitution adjustment did not have a noticeable effect, and the attack was still the same as before, and there was no actual threat.

The same was true of Borussia Dortmund's attack, with Gundogan failing to play to his own characteristics with Tang Zheng and Andrea Pirlo under heavy defence.

However, he was still adapting to the rhythm of the game when he first came on the pitch, and Klopp did not show any dissatisfaction.

Besides, Gundogan's replacement is for the replacement of the old and the new in the future, and the draw away from home would have been acceptable, and there is no need to fight Arsenal to the death, after all, there is also a Ruhr derby opponent Schalke 04 at the Westfal Stadium at the weekend.

Weekend games are even more important than a game where a draw is acceptable.

Since the other game played at the same time is Olympiacos leading the home team Marseille, if the game ends according to the current score, even if Arsenal draw at home or even lose to Dortmund can advance to the round of 16, but the second place in the group is likely to draw in the 1/8 final draw.

If you can, win as much as you can.

If you want to go further on the road to the Champions League, it is necessary to avoid strong opponents in the 1/8 finals.

So Arsenal's last change was to use it up front, with Chamak replacing Alexander Song, who had a yellow card, to increase the number of attackers up front.

Borussia Dortmund, who were able to settle for a draw away from home, slowed down their attack and tightened their defence as they prepared for the Ruhr derby at home at the weekend.

Tang Zheng is more tasked with defending in the middle, and the attack is handed over to Lewandowski, Gotze and Perisic.

With the 88th minute of the game, Dortmund made the final change, replacing Götze, who had dropped significantly.

The Arsenal players at the Emirates Stadium worked very hard, but Dortmund did not leave them any space, and Wenger was also afraid of Dortmund's counter-attacking ability, and the score did not change until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.

1:1

Borussia Dortmund drew away at Arsenal.

In the other game in the same group, Olympiacos, who finished bottom of the group, beat Marseille 1-0 away.

As a result, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal joined hands to qualify from Group F.

Dortmund, with three wins and two draws in the group, with 11 points, are ranked first in the group, and Arsenal, with two wins and three draws in the group, and Arsenal, with nine points from five games, are ranked second in the group.

If nothing else, Borussia Dortmund will likely progress to the round of 16 as group winners, avoiding the top teams in the knockout rounds, while Arsenal, who are likely to finish second in the group, will face the likes of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

※※※

Borussia Dortmund's draw away at Arsenal was not expected by the media, after all, their performance in the first four rounds of the group is not a problem, but who is the first and second in the group will have to be ranked according to the actual situation.

After five rounds of group stage, from the perspective of the ranking, Dortmund is very likely to win the first place in the group.

However, they did not focus on the group standings, as their focus was on the Ruhr derby at the Westphasco Lun Stadium at the weekend.

Attention has also been diverted from the German and Chinese media.

The German media paid attention because of the traditional focus of this match in the German arena, which is the hottest derby in Germany.

The Chinese media attention is purely due to a gimmick - the Ruhr Zone Chinese Derby.

After adapting last season, Hao Junmin is now qualified for the main position of Schalke 04.

Tang Zheng is the core player of Dortmund, and the competition between the two in the Bundesliga club has naturally attracted great attention from Chinese fans.

With attention, there is naturally demand, and the Chinese media, as the porters of society, must always pay attention to the preparation of the two.

Tang Zheng, who had just returned to Dortmund with the team, was interviewed by a new Wolves sports reporter, and the main question he talked about was what he wanted to do about the upcoming Ruhr derby.

The same problem was also encountered by Artemisia Junmin from Gelsenkirchen.

There seems to be a tacit understanding between the two, and they agreed to answer in response to interviews with domestic media: "Victory!"

As the Chinese team's two consecutive victories in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil in the Asian round of 20, this Ruhr derby can be said to have attracted the attention of the whole country.

In fact, after the international break, Yang 5 began to build momentum for this Ruhr derby to attract the attention of fans.

Although Hao Junmin's status in the Schalke 04 team is not as good as Tang Zheng's in Dortmund, his tactical position in the team is still quite high, and he even beat Farfan and Draxler to occupy one of the starting positions through his outstanding performance.

While both sides were gearing up for Germany's hottest derby, Spanish newspaper El Munde Sport was the first to reveal a shortlist of 23 candidates for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Real Madrid and Barcelona occupy half of the places: Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Villa, Cesc Fabregas, Abidal, Alves, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Casillas, Alonso and Khedira.

The two giants of La Liga occupy thirteen places, and the remaining ten places are divided between the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ba Liga.

The Chinese media and fans are most concerned about the share of the Bundesliga, and Tang Zheng, who led Dortmund to the treble in the 2010-2011 season, is among them!

In fact, Tang Zheng's selection in the 2011 FIFA Golden Ball Award 23-man squad is not much of a surprise, after all, the game he played for Dortmund last season was too amazing, and the double 20+ data is not something that a professional player can play.

The Bundesliga is one of the highest leagues in world football.

If you can show this kind of performance, you will be elected.

Even in the 2010 first FIFA Golden Ball Award 23-member squad, there were many media for Tang Zheng to fight for him, you must know that he performed quite well in the 2009-2010 season, but because 2010 is a World Cup year, many places have been given to players with outstanding World Cup performances......

At the same time, it is a pity that Tang Zheng has also become the only Dortmund player selected for the 23-person shortlist.

The other Bundesliga players shortlisted for the 23 FIFA Ballon d'Or are Thomas Müller and Schweinsteiger.

In the Premier League, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Nani, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Liverpool's Suarez.

Only two players from Inter Milan were elected to Serie A: Sneijder and Diego Forlan.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the shortlist of 23 people, the talented teenager Neymar from Santos in the Brazilian Liga became the only player elected from non-European football.

The next day, the official FIFA website updated the list of 23 candidates for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or.

There is only one difference from the 23-person shortlist revealed by Le Monde Sport, and that is that French star Karim Benzema replaced German star Khedira.

However, this does not affect the overall situation, anyway, it is only a shortlist of 23 people, and the final list of three people is the focus of media attention around the world.

In particular, last year's inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or caused a huge controversy, making this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or more suspicious.

Last year's FIFA Ballon d'Or winner was expected to be Dutch star Sneijder, who led Inter Milan to their first treble in Serie A at club level and also led the Dutch national team to the World Cup final at national level.

Against this dual backdrop, no one would question Sneijder's election, but the results were often unexpected, and Sneijder didn't even make the final three-person shortlist, which caught people off guard.

In 2010, Messi, who only won La Liga at the club level, beat club teammates Andres Iniesta and Xavi to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or, becoming the biggest laughing stock in the history of the Ballon d'Or.

Of course, Barcelona fans and Argentine fans think that Messi deserves to be the best player in the world.

Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and those professional media reporters know who is the best in the world in 2010.

Getting back to the point, the world's media began to speculate about the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or shortlist of 23 candidates, and they analyzed who would be elected.

In this list, the last two qualified candidates are of course Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are currently called by the media as the peerless duo of world football, and considering that Barcelona won the 2010-2011 La Liga and Champions League doubles, the last place should also belong to Barcelona.

But at this time, the Chinese media had their analysis and speculation.

Tang Zheng had a flawless 2010-2011 season, helping Borussia Dortmund win the league, German Cup and Europa League, especially in the 2011-2012 season.

In the last thirteen rounds of the league, he helped Borussia Dortmund beat Bayern Munich in the national derby to return to the top of the league table.

After five rounds of the Champions League group stage, Dortmund, who returned to the Champions League for the first time in nine years, beat the Premier League giants Arsenal to the top of the table.

Isn't this kind of data enough to get into the eyes of FIFA?

On the Chinese Internet, there is such a hot topic in Meager : #唐铮入围FIFA金球奖二十三人候选名单#

In less than half a day, there were nearly a million posts, and even a noticeable increase in the speed of the naked eye, with more than 500 million views.

In fact, not only the Chinese media and fans have speculation about Tang Zheng, but even many German media believe that Tang Zheng is fully qualified to be shortlisted for the final three.

Why?

Data is everything!

It's just that in recent years, the attention of European football has been on Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, which has led to a great decline in the attention of the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and other venues.

This is the fundamental reason why Messi was able to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010.

Although Tang Zheng himself wants to win the FIFA Golden Ball, which symbolizes the best player in world football, he is also self-aware.

Even if he leads Dortmund to win the treble, there is no way to compare with Messi, who won the La Liga championship and the Champions League double, after all, the gold content of the Champions League is N grades higher than the Europa League champion.

So Tang Zheng's attention is only on the next Ruhr derby, and beating his arch-rival Schalke 04 again in the derby is what a qualified Dortmund man should do.

In the face of enthusiastic Chinese and foreign reporters, Tang Zheng smiled, saying: "For me, the top priority is to play the next Ruhr derby, because it is a game that cannot be lost." ”

Many media reporters were very speechless about Tang Zheng's answer, because their original intention was to hear Tang Zheng's true thoughts on his first FIFA Golden Ball Award 23-man squad.

But...... But he started tai chi.

But that's a good thing for fans who follow the Ruhr derby, especially for Borussia Dortmund.

Serious Tang Zheng, can't be provoked.

The first leg of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga Ruhr derby was played at the Westphalun Stadium, and considering that Dortmund played a Champions League match away from home in midweek, the DFB arranged for the league to start at 4 p.m. local time in Germany, which is 10 o'clock Beijing time.

It was also the 23-man shortlist for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or that put Tang Zheng under pressure, as he made a big splash at home to Schalke 04's Ruhr derby, giving Dortmund the lead in the first half with a low shot from behind.

In the second half, he directly assisted substitute Grosskreutz to score a goal to extend the score.

In the end, Dortmund beat Schalke 04, the rebuilding arch-rival, 2-0 at home.
