Chapter 315: Qualifying early and locking the top spot

Australia scored another goal at home, and Sydney's Allianz Stadium was in absolute frenzy, with Chinese fans who were studying, working or travelling from all over Australia looking very disappointed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They thought that the Chinese team led by Tang Zheng would at least draw with Australia and then occupy a good qualifying situation.

However, judging from the course of the game, Australia's two-goal lead still seemed a little late.

"Hey, it turns out that the overall strength of our national team is still far from the top Asian teams, and the overall football level of a country can never be compensated for by the strength of individual players, and the development of youth training is the king. The Chinese team fell behind by two goals, and He Wei, the central 5 commentator, sighed.

Immediately, he added: "Tang Zheng's strong ability is based on good physical condition, two high-intensity competitions in just five days, and one day in the middle of the plane, the iron man ......can't stand it."

In the last ten minutes of regular time, Tang Zheng played hard, but he felt that his teammates in the national team seemed to have given up the game.

Although Tang Zheng was not in good shape due to physical fatigue and other reasons, he worked diligently on the defensive end, and even sent one or two key straight stoppers on the offensive end.

It's a pity that his teammates have limited abilities and can't take advantage of opportunities.

As time passed, Tang Zheng's physical fitness also had problems, and his efforts were more like useless work.

However, his efforts paid off in the final stages of stoppage time when substitute Zhang Xizhe drove a corner from the right and he pressed Cahill to head the ball into the net.

2:1

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

It was also the final goal of the game as Australia beat Group A winners China at home.

However, the losing Chinese team did not change its ranking with Tang Zheng's goal at the last moment, and they had two wins, two draws and one loss in one of the six rounds of the group, with two wins, two draws and one loss, and two goal difference, one more than Australia, which won.

In addition, due to the bye of the South Korean team in this round, China beat Australia by goal difference to continue to rank first in the group.

This result also gave the losing Chinese team a little more comfort, at least the ranking has not changed.

It is worth mentioning that in the other game in the same group, Qatar defeated Lebanon 1:0 at home, which means that Qatar's points have also come to seven points.

So the situation in Group A is very complicated right now, with all five teams having a chance of qualifying with three rounds left in the qualifiers.

China and Australia are tied on eight points, South Korea and Qatar have byes on seven points, and Lebanon is at the bottom with three points.

Losing away, Tang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable, he was a player who hated defeat very much, and quickly returned to the locker room to take a shower after thanking his teammates, and then went directly to Sydney International Airport to take a flight back to Germany.

In three days' time, Borussia Dortmund will host their opponents in the 13th round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season, Gretelhoff.

Perhaps manager Jurgen Klopp has reservations about participating in World Cup qualifiers and long-distance flights, but he must play in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage next week or it will affect the overall functioning of the team.

※※※

Tang Zheng took the earliest flight to Germany, and the domestic media conducted an in-depth review of the World Cup qualifiers for the Chinese team.

Most media believe that Australia's overall strength is stronger than the Chinese team, and the day before the game, Hao Junmin missed the game due to a soleus injury, which had a great impact on the Chinese team's attack.

Judging from the running distance between the two sides given by the broadcaster after the game, Tang Zheng's running range is significantly less than that of the past four World Cup qualifiers, which is obviously the physical fatigue caused by the long journey.

However, a small number of media ignored this, and they sensationalized the public, believing that Tang Zheng did not contribute to the national team, and the responsibility for the loss lay with him.

Of course, a lot of fans laughed and didn't say anything.

If Tang Zheng can't do anything, then how did the Chinese team rank first in the group in the past four World Cup qualifiers?

If it hadn't been for Tang Zheng's goal in the final stages of injury time, the first place in the group would not have been guaranteed.

This kind of performance still can't work?

Do you have to run all over the field to make a difference?

Then you can try to play a fierce game and then take a day on a plane!

What an international joke!

Tang Zheng didn't pay attention to the domestic media reports, and he didn't even have time to log in to his personal social networking sites.

The time to return to Dortmund is 4 p.m. local time on November 16, which means that the next day is Dortmund's home match against Greterhof in the Bundesliga.

There was only one day off but manager Jurgen Klopp informed him in advance that he was not part of the plans for the next round of home league games.

After receiving Klopp's call, Tang Zheng did not force it, not to mention that Gretelhoff's strength is limited, and his physical and mental fatigue can only be deeply experienced by himself, if he has to play a long arc tomorrow, he is likely to be injured.

The biggest enemy of a professional player is injury, he still has too many championships to win, and his heart is too obsessed, there is no need to fight hard to face the second-to-last team in the league at home.

Next week's Champions League group stage is the most important thing!

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon of November 17, local time in Germany, the 12th round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga league played six games.

Borussia Dortmund host Greterhof and Nuremberg host Bayern Munich are the two most watched games for Bundesliga fans.

Tang Zheng, who finished a World Cup qualifier in midweek, was not in the 18-man squad for Borussia Dortmund and was on the sidelines for the first time this season in the VIP box at the Westfal Stadium.

Due to the limited quality of their opponents, Dortmund have not been tested much in attack.

Lewandowski headed in less than 10 minutes from his international team-mate Piszczek to give Borussia Dortmund a dream start to the home game.

Just before the end of the first half, Gotze scored another goal to extend the score.

In the second half, Borussia Dortmund, who were playing at home, began to play possession, using passes to drain their opponents' energy as much as possible in preparation for the away Champions League group stage in the middle of next week.

Twenty minutes into the second half, both sides scored a goal as Dortmund beat promoted Magretthoff 3-1 at home.

As soon as the game was over, there was a deafening shout at Westfala Stadium.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the VIP seat, was a little strange, obviously not knowing why the fans suddenly became so happy.

It didn't take long for him to know why.

In the other match played at the same time, Nuremberg drew 1-1 at home to Bayern Munich!

※※※

The twelfth round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season ended at the weekend, with Bayern Munich drawing 1-1 away at Nuremberg.

Because Borussia Dortmund won at home in this round, the difference between the two teams narrowed from six points to four.

In other words, the German national derby after two rounds will be more interesting!

The German media and some mainstream European media began to speculate about whether the German national derby at the beginning of next month will be whether Dortmund can continue its winning streak or Bayern Munich will strengthen the league position this season.

Of course, there is still half a month to go, and everyone's attention is focused on the Champions League in the following week.

Borussia Dortmund travel to Amsterdam to take on Group D third-placed Ajax, and whether they can qualify early will depend on the outcome of this game.

Tang Zheng was given a two-day break after returning to Dortmund, and the team was in a particularly good mood as Bayern lost points away while the team won at home.

The most direct manifestation is that the overall atmosphere of the team is good, and the personal physical condition is recovering at a high speed.

Before the team left for Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Tang Zheng felt that his physical condition had returned to his best.

The German and Chinese media have been worried about whether Tang Zheng can play in the Champions League group stage, and they have begun to look forward to whether Tang Zheng can continue to perform well in the fifth round of the group stage, leading Dortmund to win away games and qualify for the group ahead of schedule.

At the visitors' regular press conference before the game, Klopp's mood changed positively, and he made a rare joke when he appeared in the press room with Pirlo.

I don't know if it was the positive attitude before the game that brought a positive change to the next day's game, and Dortmund, who visited the Amsterdam Stadium, got off to a dream start in the eighth minute of the game.

Gotze crossed the penalty area from the right, Lewandowski passed with his heel, and Tang Zheng followed up with a low shot to shoot the ball into the net.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's tone was quite excited: "Beautiful! Tang Zheng's goal helped Dortmund take the lead away from home! This goal is also his fifth goal in the Champions League this season! Dortmund's top scorer in the league is Lewandowski! The top scorer in the Champions League is Tang Zheng!"

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, looked very excited, and he raised his arms and shouted to the live broadcast camera on the sidelines, as if he was venting something.

Ajax, who were trailing at home, knew that the only thing to do was to concede no more goals, and their first priority was not to score but to defend, so Dortmund, who dominated the midfield, failed to create any more chances to score.

It wasn't until the 36th minute of the first half that Pirlo took a free-kick in front of the field, and the football was pushed out by Alderweireld, and Schmelzer, who was protecting at the edge of the box, distributed it to Gotze on the left side of the box in time.

Gotze opted for a low shot in the face of a frontal block from Eriksen and Frenkie de Jong, the ball flew between Eriksen's legs, goalkeeper Vermeer was clearly ill-prepared, and the ball drilled into the net from the near corner.

Three minutes later, Tang Zheng received a direct pass from Pirlo at the front of the penalty area and decisively chose to shoot from a distance, and the shot was full of power, but unfortunately the angle was a little positive.

However, Ajax goalkeeper Vermeer was unprepared and barely managed to save in the face of Tang Zheng's obviously falling football.

Lewandowski was alert and scrambled to Alderweireld on the right edge of the six-yard box.

0:3

Home team in front, away team in the back!

With this goal in place, most of the commentators have already begun to conclude that the game is out of suspense.

Indeed, the score remained unchanged when the referee blew the full-time whistle.

Borussia Dortmund took home a win away from home with three points.

In the other match played at the same time, Real Madrid was stubbornly resisted by Manchester City away and the two sides drew 1-1.

Dortmund has 11 points from five games, and Real Madrid has 8 points, but because of the superior home and away records, they locked up the first place in the group after qualifying early.
