Chapter 0076 Advance to the German Cup Final
While the mainstream media in Europe were crusading against Schalke 04 and Raphinha, the other focus of the Ruhr derby was undoubtedly Tang Zheng, whose brilliant lob and assist helped Dortmund beat Schalke 04 in the final moments. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In particular, the 53-meter long-distance hanging shot he scored became a goal repeated by football programs around the world.
The focus of the Chinese media is naturally the 'Ruhr China Derby' that appeared for the first time in the history of the Bundesliga, and the two have faced each other directly at the end of the game a few times.
Some small newspapers for the so-called sales, even have a serious sensationalism, originally Artemisia Junmin's performance can only be said to be average, but they insist that Artemisia Junmin through their own efforts to help Schalke 04 suppress Dortmund led by Tang Zheng for a period of time, if it is not for luck, it is estimated that Schalke 04 can force Dortmund under the leadership of Artemisia Junmin......
What a good plot, if you haven't watched the game, you probably will take it seriously.
Defeating Schalke 04 away is equivalent to Dortmund's double kill in the season, so manager Klopp is very happy, he once again waved his big hand and took a day off!
And Dortmund won three consecutive games in this league to overtake the third-ranked rival Schalke 04 with 48 points.
If this league qualification can last until the end of the season, then Dortmund can play in next season's Champions League qualifiers.
The news made Dortmund fans excited......
The last time I played in the Champions League was in the 2002-2003 season, so it's been a long time!
The 24th round of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season has ended, and Tang Zheng, who has performed well, once again entered the best team of the league, and his goal was also named the best goal of the week by the Bundesliga official.
German international Manuel Neuer was speechless and became Tang Zheng's background emperor, especially when his whole person was still tied by a snow-white net, which looked extremely embarrassing!
In addition, the German Football Association issued a fine, and Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who had a red card in the Ruhr derby, was suspended for two games, citing the fact that Klopp's celebratory goal caused a clash between the two sides.
As for Schalke 04's Raphinha, who also received a fine, the German Football Association imposed a four-game suspension and a fine of 20,000 marks on Raphinha based on the referee's referee report and video analysis given by referee Kim Herschel after the game.
When the Chinese media saw the fine issued by the German Football Association, their brains were opened, and they said that the opportunity for Artemisia Junmin had come!
In the league against Wolfsburg and Dortmund successively, Hao Junmin played at right-back, and his performance was okay, so the Chinese media believe that Raphinha will get a lot of opportunities for the four games he has been suspended!
Thinking of Tang Zheng, who succeeded in Dortmund, there is now another Artemisia Junmin of Schalke 04.
Is the spring of Chinese football coming?
Although no one has given an answer, it is undeniable that Chinese players can still gain a foothold in European teams......
※※※
Jurgen Klopp was banned for two games by the Football Association, and Borussia Dortmund tried to appeal, but both were dismissed, which means that Klopp will not be able to direct the team on the spot in the next two league games......
Although Dortmund will face two lower league opponents in the league respectively, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bochum, Dortmund, who lack the manager's on-site command, have been somewhat affected.
The next league win at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach was only a problem away to Bochum.
The away team can arrange the best angle for Klopp to watch the game from the sidelines, but they don't have that treatment when they are away.
It takes time for the poorly placed Klopp to convey his latest tactics to the coaching staff, but Bochum at home does not, they can make changes as soon as possible, so Bochum at home is taking advantage of the time difference caused by the away team's slow adjustment, and finally forced a draw with Dortmund.
3:3
It's another goal shootout.
After the away league game, Klopp returned from suspension and returned to the dugout.
However, Dortmund face a tricky league opponent next and have to consider the midweek German Cup semi-finals after the league.
The league and the cup are very important for Dortmund right now.
The unfortunate draw against Bochum in the last round of the league led to the third place in the league being snatched back by Schalke 04, and if you want to qualify for next season's Champions League, you must maintain pressure on the first group in the standings, otherwise you will have to play in the Europa League once you fall behind......
The greatest pain in life is being hit mercilessly as soon as you touch your dreams.
Not to mention the German Cup, now they are all in the semi-finals, and the opponent is Augsburg from the Bundesliga, so a fool will not pay attention to it.
So Klopp had no choice but to go hand in hand.
In this case, Borussia Dortmund at home welcomed Bayer Leverkusen, who were second in the league, at the weekend.
Considering the upset defeat to Nuremberg two rounds ago, Bayer Leverkusen, who came to Westphalia to look very low-key and defence-oriented.
As the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the Bundesliga this season, Borussia Dortmund looked lackluster against the steady-oriented Bayer Leverkusen.
Tang Zheng's game form is as good as ever, but the form of his teammates is a little sluggish, especially the striker.
Whether it was Barrios, who started the game, or Zidan, who came off the bench, they failed to take their chances.
In the end, Dortmund, who played at home, drew 0:0 with Bayer Leverkusen, who finished second in the league.
Borussia Dortmund's three wins in a row since the draw at Bayern Munich and now two draws in a row have put them back to square one after a chance to compete for the top three in the league.
The draw between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen undoubtedly benefited the most from Schalke 04, who not only returned to third in the league, but also closed the gap on Bayer Leverkusen in second place.
After 27 rounds of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich, which rebounded strongly, ranked first in the league with 59 points, Bayer Leverkusen ranked second in the league with a difference of two points, Schalke 04 ranked third with 55 points, and Dortmund ranked fourth in the league with 53 points.
Of course, a home draw against Bayer Leverkusen is also an acceptable result for Klopp, after all, Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is too eye-catching, and if it wasn't for the upset defeat to Nuremberg two rounds ago, Bayer Leverkusen would be at the top of the league table now......

The league is drawn, life goes on, and there is another crucial German Cup semi-final in midweek, and manager Jurgen Klopp will not dare to slack off, even if the opponent is from the Bundesliga.
Really!
Augsburg's ability to reach the semi-finals of Germany as a team in the upper middle of the Bundesliga is a testament to their qualities.
Tacit defence and sharp counter-attacks are Augsburg's biggest magic weapon in qualifying for the semi-finals of the German Cup this season.
In this home game, they once again showed Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga a highly disciplined defensive tactics and iron will.
They set up the bus from the first second of the game, but it has to be said that their defense was extremely targeted and they were super efficient on the counter-attack.
Just before half-time, it was a passing error from Shaheen who scored a goal.
In the second half, the home team Augsburg gave up the so-called dignity, directly gave up the initiative in the game, and put the bus with all its might.
In the defensive 30-meter area of Augsburg, it is all people, and football simply cannot go to the heart.
There are two major magic weapons to break down the dense defence, long-range shots and set-pieces.
The edge of the penalty area was full of people, and long-range shots could not threaten the opposing goalkeeper at all, and they were targeted at set-pieces......
It wasn't until the 80th minute that Dortmund relied on Tang Zheng's header in the box to assist Hummels to equalize.
Klopp stood on the sidelines and frequently deployed troops, but the results achieved can be said to be negligible.
Before the game, everyone thought that Dortmund's draw to Augsburg was a dog and luck, but those who watched the game knew that Augsburg was not so easy to deal with on the surface, and the defensive counterattack tactics were very good, especially the defense, which almost made Dortmund from the Bundesliga hate.
In the first half of extra time, both sides still did not achieve anything, and in the second half of extra time, the physical decline of the players on both sides was obvious.
In the game, the defender often consumes a lot more energy than the attacker, so the home team players basically can't run in the second half of extra time.
Fortunately, the visiting Dortmund players are similar, and the home team players can use their super willpower to grit their teeth and persevere, after all, the Germans are not inferior to anyone in terms of will!
As his fitness declined, his concentration gradually decreased, and Augsburg coach Lu Xukai stood on the sidelines a little anxious, and he kept looking down at the time on his wrist.
If he could, he would even like the game to be over immediately and head into the penalty shoot-out that he had already prepared.
Borussia Dortmund came from the Bundesliga and they certainly didn't think Augsburg from the Bundesliga would cause them problems, so there was extra time of 15 minutes each half.
But many times, plans don't keep up with change.
Tang Zheng is full of physical fitness and is famous in the A-League and the Bundesliga, even if the game time is seventeen minutes into the second half of extra time, he still walks like flying.
Lu Xukai kept directing the players to continue to limit Tang Zheng, just like 90 minutes of regular time.
The reason why they were able to limit Dortmund's attack in regular time was largely due to the strength of the team that limited Tang Zheng's play.
However, at this stage of the game, no one has extra energy, even if they only replace the players on the field in the second half.
In the 29th minute of injury time, Tang Zheng received a diagonal pass from Gotze at the edge of the penalty area and unexpectedly turned around and wiped into the penalty area, Augsburg central defender Mohle stretched his leg half a point slowly, he kicked down Tang Zheng who entered the penalty area, and the referee on duty decisively awarded a penalty.
In the final stages of stoppage time, Borussia Dortmund were awarded a penalty!
Tang Zheng, who took the penalty, withstood the pressure and sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal......
The visiting Dortmund entered this season's German Cup final with Tang Zheng's penalty in the final stage of injury time.
