Players from both sides walked down the tunnel to their dressing rooms to make final preparations for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Zheng was the last to walk to the players' tunnel, he looked around in place, feeling the deafening huge cheers, and at the same time adjusting his emotions to make the excitement more violent.

“Taaaaaaaaaaaang――”

At this time, the Dortmund fans, led by the main stand, took the lead in raising their voices and collectively chanting Tang Zheng's surname.

Tang Zheng, who was walking towards the players' tunnel, paused, listened to the chanting of the audience, he raised his arms high, responded with his thumb, and then clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped his left chest continuously.

Sky Deutschland received the live broadcast signal in advance, and the intoxicated voice of Marcel Leif, the commentator of the live commentary seat, was transmitted to the ears of every fan who watched Sky Deutschland: "Listen...... This was a huge cheer from the Signal Iduna Park Stadium, before the game, the fans at the stadium called out to their gods, the Great Wall of China! Don! Last season's Dortmund was misjudged by the referee and missed the promotion, this season the two teams drew together again, which team finally advanced to the final? I think...... The Dortmund fans already knew it!"

All the players made their way to the dressing room, the pitch entered the turf sprinkling maintenance phase, and the fans in the stands were not idle, they were actively adjusting their form or refueling to make final preparations for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final in half an hour.

The game is not just for the players, but also for the fans in the stands, who have to serve as a deterrent to the away players.

What is home field advantage?

Home field advantage is all about scaring the away players!

As the last player, Tang Zheng, entered the home team's dressing room, assistant coach Gerliko Bouist closed the locker room door, and the noise from the scene came to an abrupt end.

Klopp did not pull the players to explain the game techniques and tactics for the first time, he handed over the time to the players first.

Just after the warm-up, the players were covered in sweat and uncomfortable, and now it was time to enjoy a simple shower.

For about ten minutes, the players changed into a pair of dry jerseys, then walked up to manager Jurgen Klopp and listened respectfully.

Jurgen Klopp glanced at all the players present, the main players and the substitutes.

In fact, there is not much to talk about before the game, and there is a detailed explanation of the routine tactics every day before the game, in order to let the players understand the tactics thoroughly, and now it is more suitable to guide the players' mentality.

Captain Kell missed the rest of the season due to injury, while Andrea Pirlo also strained a ligament in his right knee in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and missed the rest of the season, which means that Dortmund now have to rely on young players......

The biggest advantage of young players is their energy, but the disadvantages are just as obvious.

This season's Champions League quarter-finals second leg lacked a veteran player after the equalizer, so that the game fell into a long stalemate, if it wasn't for Tang Zheng to turn the tide, it would not be Dortmund who advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.

That's what Jurgen Klopp was very worried about, so he was targeting the spirit of the players before the game, which meant a provocative rhetoric.

Jurgen Klopp is a manager with a lot of personality, he treats his players very well, and he is a brother to the players, and everyone is convinced of him.

After some emotional remarks, the spirit of the Dortmund players has changed significantly.

In the visiting dressing room, Pep Guardiola didn't say much to motivate him due to his personality, and he was relatively modest, repeating the tactical deployment he had been telling for the past few days.

At the same time, the commentators began to analyze the starting line-ups of both sides of the match.

Borussia Dortmund made two changes to their starting line-up compared to the Champions League quarter-finals, with Subotic replacing Santana after returning from injury and Sven Bender replacing Andrea Pirlo, who missed the rest of the season due to injury.

Barcelona made only one change in the field, with Bartra replacing Mascherano and the rest of the positions unchanged.

Goalkeeper Valdés, the two full-backs are Alba and Alves, the central defenders are Pique and Baltra, the midfield three are Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta, and Sanchez, Messi and Pedro are at the front.

Noting Baltra's replacement for Mascherano by Sky commentator Andy Gray, he laughed: "It's clear that Josep Guardiola is very jealous of the height advantage of Dortmund's players, and last season's clash seems to be in front of him. ”

"Mario Gotze is the shortest player in Dortmund, 1.76 meters, the other players are over 1.8 meters, and there are several players over 1.85 meters, maybe Barcelona can beat Real Madrid with their good Tiki-Taka, but in the face of Dortmund, who is also good at high pressing, Barcelona has not many ways to ......"

Martin Taylor continued: "In the end, Pep Guardiola's most worried Dortmund player is still Don, last season's Champions League quarter-finals, Don almost directed Dortmund's away comeback, this game at the Signal Park Iduna stadium, Don's play is crucial, if I guess wrong, Barcelona's first priority on the road trip is to limit Don." ”

He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 who was also in the on-site commentary seat, was also connecting with colleagues in the domestic live broadcast room to discuss topics such as the pre-match preparations between the two sides, the possible strong dialogue in the game, and whether Tang Zheng can continue his success rate of 100% defense of Messi.

※※※

"Barcelona's recent record has not been great, but let's not forget that they are already 14 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid in the domestic league, and no opponent should be underestimated, and the thrilling 3-2 win over Malaga in stoppage time was a unique miracle......

Jurgen Klopp said this, and assistant coach Gerliko Bvacchi whispered next to him: "Jurgen, ten minutes to go." ”

Immediately, Klopp's voice changed: "The rest of the time is left to everyone here, tidy up your image, this is a competition, and it is also a stage for you to show your most perfect self, my goal has never been high, you know." ”

"Win pretty!"

The players responded tacitly.

The home team's dressing room erupted in cheerful laughter and the tension shifted.

As the captain, Tang Zheng also took the lead in tidying up his hair.

In the Dortmund team, except for Weidenfeller who is in 80 and Piszczek in 85, the other players are all in the 88 or 89 age group, and there are even post-90s such as Gundogan and Gotze.

Since they are all young people, it is normal to care about personal image.

As Jurgen Klopp said, it's a game, and it's also a stage to show yourself perfectly.

Even Weidenfeller, a veteran in his thirties, smeared hairspray on his head.

And what about other young people?

Shortly after, the starters had their hairstyles straightened and UEFA staff knocked on the door of the home team's dressing room, reminding them that they should head to the players' tunnel to get ready for the game.

At this moment, Tang Zheng suddenly called out to the No. 2 goalkeepers Yan Junling and Sha Xin, who walked out of the locker room door in German: "Yan Junling, Nuri." ”

Yan Junling and Sha Xin turned their heads at the same time, a little puzzled.

Tang Zheng clapped his palms and said loudly: "Brothers, come here and cheer together." ”

With that, take the lead in extending your right hand with your palm downward.

Hummels and Lewandowski, who were standing next to him, understood in seconds, and hurriedly folded them on the back of Tang Zheng's hand.

The other teammates immediately followed suit, until Shahin, who was the farthest away, was stacked on top of him, and Tang Zheng said loudly again: "Bayern, which has been defeated by us repeatedly, can beat Real Madrid 4:1, do you have the confidence to beat Barcelona with the same big score?"

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Tang Zheng tacitly.

Tang Zheng coughed awkwardly, and while repeating it, he secretly kicked Hummels: "Do you have the confidence to beat Barcelona by a big score?"

Suddenly, Hummels reacted and roared: "Of course I have confidence!!"

"What about you?" Tang Zheng looked at his teammates.

"Of course, it must!!"

The other teammates blurted out without hesitation.

……

As the players left the dressing room one by one, Klopp and his assistants Gerliko Bouácz and Peter Kravitz smiled at each other, feeling more confident about the upcoming Champions League semi-finals!

※※※

As players from both sides appeared in the tunnel one after another, the TV stations with the rights to broadcast the Champions League also took over the broadcast signal, which means that fans around the world who watched the Champions League semi-finals on live TV could clearly see everything in the players' tunnel.

Barcelona are dominated by Spanish domestic players and have no overlap with Borussia Dortmund's players.

However, captain Tang Zheng and Sanchez had a relationship, and they tacitly walked towards each other after seeing each other.

Tang Zheng stretched out his arms, hugged Sanchez, patted his back, and habitually complained: "Alexis, you finally made the start, congratulations." ”

"You guy. Sanchez replied angrily.

"This is my home turf, you give me honesty, be careful that I shovel your legs!"

Tang Zheng let go of Sanchez and said viciously.

"Cut!" Sanchez shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "Be careful that I shake so that you can't find North." ”

"I hope you don't disappoint me. Tang Zheng still had the same expression that made people can't help but go up and punch twice.

"We'll see. ”

Sanchez raised his right fist and held his head high.

"Good. ”

Tang Zheng and Sanchez tacitly picked up their fists and lightly struck each other's fists, and then returned to their respective camps, ready to play.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei saw this, and he gave the fans in front of the TV popular science knowledge: "I think the fans in front of the TV must be very curious about Tang Zheng's excellent foot skills, which has a lot to do with Sanchez, who plays for Barcelona, according to Tang Zheng, during his time at River Plate, it was Sanchez who taught him how to master the rhythm and dribbling skills, which means that Sanchez is Tang Zheng's teacher......"

Many Chinese fans know about Tang Zheng after Tang Zheng played for Dortmund, and they don't know anything about his deeds in River Plate, so in this short period of time, He Wei has also popularized some knowledge to many pseudo-fans.

The core players of this game are also within the scope of the live broadcast to capture the wonderful footage, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Lewandowski, Reus, Gotze, etc......

Tang Zheng and Messi are the core figures of both sides of the game, and they are the key targets of the live director.

What is surprising is that Tang Zheng and Messi did not have any communication in the player tunnel, not even a look.

After a while, the referee from Hungary, Kaushoi, stepped forward with the football in his arms.

The players from both sides followed their captains to the pitch while the Westphalic Stadium radio played the Champions League theme song "Champions-League"

At the same time, a large poster slowly rose from the south stand of Westfalfa Stadium.

This huge poster is not a picture of a Dortmund cartoon fan holding a telescope looking down on the Champions League trophy, but an animated version of the heroic Tang Zheng, who holds the Champions League trophy high with both arms and an animated version of Barcelona No. 10 Messi with his right foot.

There is a letter below, to the effect that in Chinese: We have the omnipotent Tang, and it is useless for you to have Messi!

The players from both sides slowly walked to the referee team as the group, and each half of the court, Tang Zheng and Messi also saw the huge TIFO show in the south stand as they walked.

No one in this world can ignore what concerns them, especially this Champions League semi-final.

Tang Zheng sincerely felt the excitement from his heart, and the other party, Messi, felt a stark contrast to it, he was very angry!

Yang 5 commentator He Wei smiled: "Dortmund fans are really well-intentioned, they take the lead and give the visiting Messi a dismissal! I don't know if Messi's mentality will be affected next, I personally hope he can play at the best level......

Immediately, it was a handshake session between the two sides and a guessing session for the captain.

Tang Zheng lost the right to pick the edge and automatically won the right to kick off.

The referee Kaushoi signaled Xavi to choose a side, Xavi looked at the north and south stands, and the Dortmund fans on both sides showed a strong presence, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xavi didn't deliberately pick a side, but chose according to the half of his team-mates.

Borussia Dortmund in front of the South Stand and Barcelona in front of the North Stand.

As the game approaches, the frenetic atmosphere at Westphal Lun Stadium has decreased, but this does not mean that the mood of the home fans has decreased, on the contrary, it can also indicate that they are gathering energy and waiting for the moment of the game to start before exploding.

"Beep~"

Just then, referee Kaushoi blew the whistle to announce the start of Borussia Dortmund's 2012-2013 Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

"Whew-"

Lewandowski had just kicked the ball to Reuss when a deafening cheer rang out at the Westphalia Lun Stadium.

It was so loud that the fans who didn't lower the volume were taken aback.

The players on the field were not affected, Sanchez, Messi and Pedro stabbed at Dortmund's defensive half like three sharp swords, trying to break the ball at the first time to counterattack.

Reus didn't give them a chance, and he handed over the football to Tang Zheng in strict accordance with Klopp's tactical requirements.

Tang Zheng stepped on the football with his right foot and paused, until Pedro stepped forward to try to steal before handing the ball to Gundogan.

Dortmund's overall formation gradually unfolded, using the strength of the team to deal with the pressure from Barcelona in the first round of the start.
