Chapter 132: An Imperfect Record

The so-called capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable, saying that the Bundesliga has entered a winter break, and if Tang Zheng has no other plans, he will accompany Zhao Lina to return to China together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

In this regard, Tang Zheng did not refuse.

Because if he has no other tasks this winter, he is also preparing to return to China.

Last year, because of the signing of Nike and the trip to Uruguay to receive the South American Footballer of the Year trophy, the New Year's Day was not too happy, and it just happened that this time I was able to make up for it.

In terms of competition, although Tang Zheng does not have to prepare for the final round of the Bundesliga, he still needs to stay in Dortmund's last two cup games in 2010 - the sixth round of the Europa League group and the third round of the German Cup.

Borussia Dortmund currently top of Group J by just one goal difference over Paris Saint-Germain, and if they lose to an already exited Sevilla side at the Estadio Pizjuán and PSG remain unbeaten in faraway Ukraine, they will drop to second place.

That would be quite bad for the draw for the 1/16 final of the Europa League!

In order to secure top the group, even if the group has already qualified, Dortmund must try to win away from home to secure top of the group.

Dortmund is not very far from Seville, but it is not close, almost two thousand kilometers away.

However, Sevilla FC are already out of the tournament ahead of schedule and their final group game is out of content.

So they had reservations in this meaningless game, and the visiting Dortmund beat the home team 1-0 under the leadership of Tang Zheng.

In addition, Paris Saint-Germain, who travelled to distant Ukraine, did not beat Capati as they drew 1-1 with their opponents.

In the 2010-2011 Europa League Group J, all six rounds were completed, with Borussia Dortmund topping the group with 14 points from six games, four wins and two draws, and Paris Saint-Germain finishing second with two points behind.

The 2010-2011 Champions League group stage was also completed before the final round of the Europa League group stage, with FC Twente, Benfica, Glasgow Rangers, Kazan Ruby Ruby, Basel, Spartak, Ajax and Braga finishing third in the group.

On the second day of the Europa League group stage, UEFA held a draw for the knockout rounds of European competitions at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The draw for the 1/8 final of the Champions League was held first, followed by the draw for the 1/16 final of the Europa League.

There are only two strong matches in the draw for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, namely Arsenal vs Barcelona and Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich, the opponents in last season's Champions League final.

The Chinese media is most concerned about the opponent drawn by Schalke 04, who won the first place in the group, and will face the lonely La Liga giants Valencia first.

Schalke 04 did not perform at the level they should have in the league this season, but Hao Junmin, who is a Chinese international, has been given a lot of appearances, and his contribution in the Champions League and the league has been recognized by Magath.

Subsequently, the focus of the Chinese media was on the 1/16 draw ceremony of the Europa League.

I don't know if it's bad luck, Dortmund, where Tang Zheng plays, actually drew the Portuguese giants Porto!

The matches were played on 17 February 2011 at 8pm and on 23 February 2011 at 5pm European time, with Borussia Dortmund playing away and then home.

When the results were drawn, the German, Portuguese and Chinese media were in an uproar.

This lottery is poisonous!

However, Tang Zheng was very excited after seeing this lottery in front of the TV, he picked up his mobile phone for the first time and flipped to the mobile phone address book, and then found a familiar number and dialed directly.

"Huh?"

After dialing Falcao's mobile number, there was a busy sound.

After about half a minute, Tang Zheng's mobile phone on the sofa rang.

Tang Zheng, who was listening to Sky Germany's signing analysis, picked up his mobile phone, and the name remark displayed on the screen was Falcao!

"Hey, long time no see. As soon as he connected, Tang Zheng heard a familiar tone.

"Yes, but we'll meet soon. Tang Zheng said playfully.

"I'm looking forward to our first meeting. ”

"Really?" Tang Zheng joked, "But I don't think it will be a good memory for you." ”

"Who said that?" Falcao snorted in an accentuated tone, "I'm going to make your goal a sieve!"

"Then wait and see!My tiger~"

A good friend who hadn't seen each other for a long time, the two chatted for more than half an hour before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

However, what Tang Zheng didn't know was that Falco, who hung up the phone, clenched his fists and gave himself strength in his heart, he hoped to give Tang Zheng a little color in the next Europa League 1/16 final.

However, he doesn't seem to have much confidence.

At the same time, James Rodriguez, who watched the draw for the 1/16 finals of the 2010-2011 Europa League, is also full of energy to beat Dortmund led by Tang Zheng in the meeting in February next year!

Every year in December, the awards ceremonies are held as scheduled.

The first award presented by Europe was the European Golden Boy Award, because the previous winner of the European Golden Boy Award, Tang Zheng, had reached the age of 21 before the award, so this award did not have a chance for him, and also did not have a chance for other Chinese players.

The winner of the 2010 European Golden Boy Award was Super Mario Balotelli, who won the Champions League with Inter Milan in the 2009-2010 season!

In addition to the European Under-21 Player of the Year awards, which will be decided in December, the results of the 2010 European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year will also be available.

But there are some changes to these two trophies this year, and this year's European Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Footballer of the Year have been combined into one, which is called the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Tang Zheng performed very well throughout 2010, and he was also shortlisted for the 23 FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

The day before Borussia Dortmund's away game against Eintracht Frankfurt, the combined FIFA Ballon d'Or was announced at the headquarters of the newspaper Les Les Société de la Ville in Paris, France.

Surprisingly, the top three are all from Barcelona, namely Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi.

And Dutch midfielder Sneijder, who was previously favored by countless football experts, did not enter the top three.

This result once again caused an uproar.

Xavi and Andres Iniesta finished in the top three, as 2010 was a tournament year and they helped Spain to World Cup triumph and they deserved to be in the title.

It's just that Messi's entry into the top three is incredible, and in the past 2010, in addition to his outstanding performance at the club, the national team can only be described as bad in two words.

He has scored zero goals in five games for Argentina in the World Cup, and is Argentina's top player out of the tournament.

With this background, it is really not very convincing to be able to beat Sneijder to enter the top three of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Because Sneijder was perfect in 2010, he not only won the first treble in Italy's history for Inter Milan, but also helped the Dutch national team to a World Cup runner-up.

So many media outlets complained about Sneijder, and Tang Zheng also talked about the final three-person list of the FIFA Golden Globe Awards on Twitter and meager terms.

Of course, Tang Zheng only talked about this matter and didn't pay too much attention to it.

In the 17th round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga, Tang Zheng was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, and he did not go to Frankfurt with the team, but stayed at the club to prepare for the third round of the German Cup before the winter break.

In the run-up to the race, the focus of the German media and the European mainstream was on Hesse.

Most of the media are optimistic that Dortmund will take points away from home, surpassing Bayern's record for points in the Bundesliga halfway through the 2005-2006 season.

Of course, there are supporting media, and naturally there will be skeptical media.

Since the 2009-2010 season, the Süddeutsche Zeitung has consciously targeted Dortmund since it fell out with Tang Zheng and Dortmund.

This time, at the moment when Dortmund was extremely close to the record, it was natural that their doubts were indispensable.

They believe that Dortmund will be greatly limited in attack without the absolute core Tang Zheng in this game, and the impact on the defensive end will not be small.

Plus no one in this world will willingly become a stepping stone!

That's the case in Frankfurt, which has a long history!

Although their overall strength is not as good as Dortmund, they will definitely do everything to defend their dignity!

The Süddeutsche Zeitung apparently took great pains to use public opinion to ignite the morale of the Eintracht Frankfurt players.

Eintracht Frankfurt at the Forest Stadium were well prepared to target Dortmund's lack of Tang Zheng, so much so that Dortmund's attack could not be done on the road.

Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif said during the break: "Dortmund without Don feels like a toothless tiger, and there is no way to give the opponent a direct threat!"

Marcel Leif has a point, and even in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency alone, Eintracht Frankfurt have done a better job.

If it weren't for the excellent performances of Hummels and Weidenfeller in the first half, it is estimated that Dortmund would have conceded a goal first at the Forest Stadium.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, was in a bad mood, as if he saw the results of the thirtieth round of the 2009-2010 season.

That league game was also suspended for his accumulation of yellow cards, and Borussia Dortmund lost 1-0 away to Mainz, otherwise the team would have played in the Champions League rather than the Europa League this season.

Fortunately, the outcome of this game was different from the suspension last season, and the two sides were tied at 0:0 after 90 minutes

In the end, Borussia Dortmund took a point away at the Forest Stadium, setting the highest half-time point since the Bundesliga began.

Still, for Tang Zheng, it's an imperfect record.

Therefore, Tang Zheng made up his mind to become more stable in the second half of the season, and try to use patience to complete the defense instead of tactical fouls.
