Reus joined Dortmund at a high price, and the fans were very satisfied, because Reus originally had Dortmund blood, but the club had no way to sell it at that time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And Tang Zheng's worries about the locker room problems were also exposed in the following recovery training, Perisic, who joined the team last summer, has long been dissatisfied with his time in the team, and now there is another Reus, he feels that the team has no future.

However, only the young and energetic Perisic was dissatisfied with his situation, and the rest of the team did not have any unnecessary emotions.

Borussia Dortmund's first official match in the second half of the 2011-2012 season was away to Hamburg, and before this game, Dortmund had a warm-up match against Karlsruhe from the Bundesliga.

In addition to testing the state recovery of the players, this game is more to test whether the newly recruited Royce is suitable for the team's tactical play.

After 60 minutes of play, Klopp was satisfied with Reus's performance in the team, he played smarter than he thought.

Five days later, Borussia Dortmund challenged Hamburg at the Intrine Arena.

The match did not attract much attention in Germany, but Borussia Mönchengladbach's home game against Bayern Munich was more appealing.

But this game is not the case for the good Chinese and Korean media, South Korean genius Son Heung-min quickly became an indispensable main player of the Hamburg team this season, he was called by the Korean media as a player with stronger talent than Park Ji-sung, and the future development potential is even stronger than Tang Zheng!

So the Chinese media disagree with the South Korean media, with Chinese journalists believing that Son is at best a mainstay in the middle of the Bundesliga, while Tang Zheng is the core player of the Bundesliga title.

Can there be a comparison with such a huge contrast?

Without contrast, there is no harm.

This sentence makes a lot of sense.

After the game, South Korean reporters scrambled to comfort Son Heung-min, who was crying after losing.

Cause?

In this game, Tang Zheng and Piszczek did not let Son Xingmin complete even one pass, and Hamburg's 1:5 defeat at home was also directly related to Son Xingmin's inaction on the wing.

In the 90-minute game, Tang Zheng handed over one goal and two assists, while Sun Xingmin's only statistic was a yellow card.

Before the game, the South Korean media, which also said that Sun Xingmin's strength far surpassed Tang Zheng's, was silent, for fear of being slapped in the face in public.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, who lost Reuss, beat Bayern Munich 3-1 at home, indirectly consolidating Dortmund's position at the top of the table.

After 18 rounds of league play, Dortmund ranks first in the league with 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss with 43 points, Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 are second and third in the league with 37 points, and Borussia Mönchengladbach is fourth in the league with 36 points.

Hamburg, who suffered a heavy defeat in this round, fell into the relegation zone, and they are only four points above the league's vice-leaders Augsburg.

With just one game left for the remaining January, Borussia Dortmund play Hoffenheim at home.

Borussia Dortmund hit the league at the beginning of this season without 40 consecutive rounds of unbeaten but unexpectedly lost to Hoffenheim away.

3：1

With goals from new signings Reus, Gotze and Robert Lewandowski, Dortmund won the game.

※※※

The following February, Dortmund had six games, one in less than five days.

Four league games, one German Cup and one Champions League knockout round.

Among them, the Champions League 1/8 final away to AC Milan has become the top priority, and Dortmund, who are away and then home, must get away goals at the San Siro Stadium.

After the league match, there is another international break.

Although the 2012 European Cup qualifiers have long ended, the feet of various countries do not need to work hard, only need to deal with the warm-up matches, but Tang Zheng and Barrios have to leap half the world, especially Tang Zheng, which is the guarantee of Dortmund's results, and Klopp is somewhat worried.

Of course, there is still a month to go before the international break, and the job he needs to do now is to play those six games with Borussia Dortmund.

The 2011 FIFA Awards Ceremony not only gave Tang Zheng ambitions, but also manager Jurgen Klopp.

He knew that in the 2010-2011 season, he was better than Mourinho's team.

But why wasn't it shortlisted?

Isn't it because Real Madrid has more exposure?

If Borussia Dortmund can go far in the Champions League this season, will there be no place for the 2012 FIFA Awards Ceremony?

Borussia Dortmund were in excellent form in the first four matches of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, winning four in a row.

Three league games and one German Cup quarter-final.

Nuremberg 2-0 away, Kirsten 4-0 away, Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at home and Hertha Berlin 1-0 away.

Tang Zheng has been instrumental in these four games, scoring three goals and providing two assists, the most crucial of which was undoubtedly a narrow home win over Bayer Leverkusen, where it was his injury-time long-range strike that secured the three points for Borussia Dortmund.

Starting with a 4-1 away win over Freiburg in the 17th round of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season to a narrow one-goal away win over Hertha Berlin at the weekend, Dortmund has completed a six-game winning streak in the league.

With this wave of six consecutive wins, Dortmund has also extended its advantage in the league points to nine points.

With twelve rounds left in the league, they have a good chance of defending their league title.

However, at this time, most eyes are on the Champions League fixture that will be back in action in the middle of next week.

In the 2011-2012 Champions League 1/8 finals, only two games can be regarded as strong dialogues.

AC Milan vs Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal vs Inter Milan.

AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund were both league champions in the 2010-2011 season, and the direct dialogue between the two league winners naturally attracts a lot of attention.

AC Milan is the second team with the second most titles in the history of the Champions League, Dortmund has risen strongly in the past two seasons, and even defeated Barcelona 3:1 in the European Super Cup.

Although AC Milan is a big change from the same AC Milan team that won the Champions League in 2007, most of the players in the squad are very good.

Like Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Thiago Silva, Pato, Gattuso, Seedorf......

In addition to the competitive factor, the off-field factor is also enough to attract media attention.

Andrea Pirlo returned to San Siro, Tang Zheng and Pato's direct confrontation with the 2009 European Golden Boy Contest, and Shaarawy and Götze's direct confrontation with the 2011 European Golden Boy, Tang Zheng and Van Bommel ......

These gimmicks can cause a huge sensation.

After a day of training, Pirlo took the initiative to practice.

Tang Zheng was curious about this, he remembered that Pirlo hadn't practiced for a long time last time.

But he quickly figured out why, and Pirlo will return to the San Siro in midweek after a decade.

Returning to your hometown and performing at your best is the best reward for the fans who support you.

At the same time, you have to prove that your performance on the field has not decreased because of age!

The entire Dortmund squad arrived at Milan International Airport at 5pm on Monday, and there were many AC Milan fans and Dortmund fans who had arrived in Milan early at the international exit gate.

Naturally, AC Milan fans came here to boo the Dortmund players, while the Dortmund fans came to greet their heroes.

But Borussia Dortmund still have one player who has been warmly welcomed by AC Milan fans: Andrea Pirlo, who has been with AC Milan for a decade.

Since joining AC Milan in 2001, Andrea Pirlo has helped the team win two league titles, one Coppa Italia, one Italian Super Cup, two Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and one Club World Cup.

These honors, Pirlo has obtained as the core.

So no AC Milan will forget Pirlo's contribution to the team, so most of the AC Milan fans in attendance wore the former red and black striped No. 21 jersey and collectively chanted: "Andrea!!"

Pirlo was so impressed by the Milan fans' behaviour that he responded by raising his arms above his head and clapping his palms vigorously.

Tang Zheng watched from a distance behind him.

He knew that it was homecoming.

The meaning of coming home.

Less than a season later, Andrea Pirlo returned to San Siro wearing another shirt, something that all AC Milan fans did not expect.

The visiting Borussia Dortmund players could boo as hard as they could, but they couldn't do it against Andrea Pirlo.

The day before the game, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp attended the regular press conference before the game, and did not bring captain Kyle or vice-captain Tang Zheng, but brought former AC Milan player Andrea Pirlo to participate.

Klopp's choice also played into the hands of media reporters.

In the past few days, the whole team of Dortmund has tacitly not accepted interviews with the outside world, so there is almost no news about Dortmund in the preparation period for the Champions League, and most of the AC Milan players who are playing at home seem to be relaxed.

The biggest star Ibrahimovic said in an interview with the media: "On the day of the game, the San Siro Stadium can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, and the crowd of fans in the stadium on the Champions League match day is even more than the Signal Idona Park Stadium, many people say that the Signal Idona Park Stadium is the first devil stadium in Europe, I think...... Tomorrow night at the San Siro Stadium for the Champions League quarter-finals, we fans will tell the visiting visiting team what the devil's home is!"

Cyclist Robinho also said: "We have been preparing for this race for more than two months and our goal is only to win!"

Brazilian international Thiago Silva, who played against Tang Zheng at the 2009 Copa Libertadores, told local media: "We won the game three years ago, and it will be the same three years later. ”

Thiago Silva has the confidence to do so, as three years later he has grown into one of the top centre-backs in Europe.

AC Milan's ability to win the Serie A title last season is directly related to Thiago Silva's excellent performance.

The media questions that came to the visitors' regular pre-match press conference basically revolved around how Andrea Pirlo thinks about the Champions League 1/8 final starting tomorrow.

Andrea Pirlo put it bluntly: "There's no denying that Milan has always been my home, but I'm not part of Milan anymore and I'm going to do my best tomorrow to tell all the Milan fans that I'm still the best Andre." ”

It is not difficult to hear Pirlo's complaints about AC Milan, and what he wants to do most now is to kill his old boss and prove himself.

Pirlo's youth and peak were all dedicated to AC Milan, but in the end, he was ruthlessly swept away, which is the greatest insult to a hero.

Pirlo's free transfer to Dortmund surprised the media and football pundits as they did not only not decline, but also showed a tendency to play more and more.

Dortmund's success in the last six league games is directly related to Pirlo's gradual improvement.

Of course, in an interview with the media, Pirlo also spoke about the goal, saying: "If I have the luck to score, I will not celebrate, Milan...... Forever my home. ”

From Pirlo's words, it is not difficult to hear his love for Milan.

On the night of the Champions League matchday, the first leg of the two 2011-2012 Champions League quarter-finals kicked off in Lyon, France and Bayer Leverkusen, Germany.

Lyon beat Atletico Greeks 1-0 thanks to a home advantage.

In the other match at the Bayer Arena, Bayer Leverkusen lost 3-1 to the mighty Barcelona.

Overall, neither match was a surprise, with the favourites winning the matches.

The next day, the European media's attention shifted to Milan, Italy, and St. Petersburg, Russia.

One of the most watched battles is undoubtedly AC Milan's home match against Borussia Dortmund, last season's Serie A champion vs last season's Bundesliga winner!

It is no exaggeration to say that this game is the most exciting Champions League 1/8 final of the week.

At 8:45 p.m. local time in Europe, the first leg of the 2011-2012 Champions League quarterfinals between AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund kicked off on time at the San Siro Stadium.

The San Siro Stadium was full of atmosphere, and many Milan fans around the stadium unfurled banners: "Andre, welcome home." ”

In this way, they welcomed Pirlo.

Andrea Pirlo deserved to be welcomed by the home fans, as he delivered a dangerous through ball less than three minutes into the game, but Lewandowski was a little too slow to run and was tackled off the touchline by the well-defended Thiago Silva.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei commented: "Pirlo's form is so good!

A minute later, Tang Zheng's breakthrough gave Borussia Dortmund a direct free-kick in excellent position up front.

Suddenly, the fans held their breath.

Milan fans at the San Siro are familiar with Andrea Pirlo, and his set-piece skills are among the best in the world!

"Milan is in danger!"

The Italian national television announcer began to worry.

But...... Pirlo's power was a little too much, high above the crossbar, but he was often in a cold sweat from the fans at the scene.
