Chapter 126: Eight consecutive wins at the beginning, a new league record!

Tang Zheng wanted to make his left foot as natural as his right foot, but he knew that it could not be completed overnight, so he was not in a hurry, and he started practicing with simple long passes and long passes with his left foot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the plan, Tang Zheng waited until he was familiar with the middle and long passes with his left foot before practicing his left-footed long-range shot.

Because you can only fully exert force until you are familiar with your right foot as a supporting foot, otherwise it will be like running without learning to walk.

It's so ambitious, and nothing can be accomplished.

Tang Zheng's hard work at the Stobelari training center was seen by the coaching staff, as were the staff.

Weidenfeller, who was stripped of his position as third captain for no reason this season, also saw it, and he had a lot of complaints at the time, but he didn't show it because of his introverted personality, so he felt very uncomfortable.

However, as Tang Zheng led the team to play a wave of seven consecutive wins in the new season, it won eleven consecutive victories in all competitions.

And in the game, he will protect the interests of his teammates for the first time, and he will work hard during the international break.

Let him be the captain, it's very suitable!

The two international breaks passed quickly, and Tang Zheng's left foot mastery was still limited to accurate mid-to-long passes without interference, and long passes of more than 30 meters would have some errors, unlike the right foot.

With the international break over, the national leagues will be back in action.

The first match of the eighth round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season was Dortmund away to Cologne, while Mainz, the biggest dark horse who also won the opening seven consecutive league games, was played in the afternoon of the second day.

In other words, if Dortmund beat Cologne away from home, they will be the first team to start the league with eight consecutive wins.

And in this situation, Mainz, who have won seven consecutive league games, will likely be under pressure to play abnormally, allowing Dortmund to dominate the record.

Most of the players who participated in the international break returned to the club two days before the league and due to the long distance between Barrios and the European continent, the away league trip to Cologne was not on Klopp's plans.

And the first thing to do when I returned to the team was to revolve around the word 'recovery'.

The international break is short, but it often requires two high-intensity games, which is very physically taxing on the players, and even if the Dortmund players have a very good physical reserve, they can't afford to squander.

Media attention has also returned to the league from the international break, especially the two Bundesliga games that are about to set records.

Cologne and Borussia Dortmund, both from North Rhine-Westphalia, are a bit different in strength, so the media is generally optimistic that Dortmund will win away from home, but some media have expressed concern.

Small teams like Cologne have basically no international players leaving the team to prepare for national team competitions, and their physical reserves are obviously better than Dortmund, which have many international players.

And the media favorism also caused dissatisfaction among Cologne players, especially Cologne Prince Podolski.

Speaking to the media after returning from the national team, he said: "Setting records will make everyone admire, but we will definitely not be the team that achieves others!

The statements of the Prince of Cologne Podolski were absolutely supported by the local media and fans in Cologne.

Their opponents, Borussia Dortmund, were rather low-key and did not give any interviews before the game.

Meanwhile, Mainz's league match at home to Hamburg is in the spotlight.

In the 2009-2010 Bundesliga, Mainz finished ninth in the league and finished one point ahead of 10th-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.

So Mainz, who have won seven consecutive league games in the new 2010-2011 season, is particularly strange.

In just one summer, there have been such a big changes!

If it weren't for Borussia Dortmund's more aggressive attack, they would even be top of the league.

Next, they will face a stronger opponent than Borussia Dortmund's Cologne.

In the Bundesliga, which has rekindled the fire, the whole Hamburg team is full of strength, and it is resolute not to let the biggest dark horse in the Bundesliga this season get three points at home.

As a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga, Hamburg has its own pride.

However, considering that there have been many strong teams like Stuttgart, Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim who have been defeated by Mainz since the beginning of this season, the local media in Mainz are still quite optimistic about the home team winning Hamburg and completing the first eight consecutive wins!

Against this backdrop, Borussia Dortmund are the first to challenge Cologne away from home.

“…… Hello viewers, the first game of the eighth round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season is now broadcast for you, this game is also the highlight of this round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund has won the first seven consecutive games, equaling the record of seven consecutive wins in the opening of the Bundesliga set by Bayern Munich and Kaiserslautern in the 1995-1996 and 2001-2002 seasons......"

Accompanied by the standard CCTV lines of CCTV 5 commentator Duan Huo, Dortmund's away challenge to Cologne's North Rhine-Westphalun derby kicked off.

Borussia Dortmund has not changed much from the league squad that beat Bayern Munich in the previous round.

Grosskreutz replaced Gotze, who had some minor injuries, and Barrios, who had crossed most of the continent, was replaced by Lewandowski.

The rest of the positions remain unchanged, with Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels and Piszczek at the back.

The double midfield partners are Shaheen and Sven Bender, Tang Zheng plays in the front midfield, and Kuba is still on the right.

Cologne, who were under-qualified at home, opted to hold on in the early stages of the game, and they used wide runs to neutralise Dortmund's organised and disciplined attack.

As the source of Dortmund's attack, Tang Zheng was closely guarded by the Cologne team.

From the first second of the match, there was a player who restricted him.

As a result, his contribution to the team was limited to over-the-top and opening up attacking space, with Gotze's injury leaving Dortmund's attacking playmaking entirely in the hands of Shaheen.

In the past 20 minutes or so, Cologne's tactics have been very targeted.

They were brave under the roar of the home fans.

Had it not been for Weidenfeller's divine help, Podolski would have taken the lead at the Rheinenergy Stadium.

Klopp, who was still sitting in the coach's box, couldn't sit anymore, and he came to the sidelines to incite the players to play.

Tang Zheng was a little depressed during this time, and he was very closely watched.

Of course, while Tang Zheng felt the hardship, so did Clemens, who defended him.

Taking advantage of the football out of bounds, he took a hard breath of fresh air.

During this time, Dortmund was unable to organize an attack because Tang Zheng was unable to organize, which led to Cologne getting a lot of opportunities, but Clemens paid a huge physical price.

Forty minutes into the game, he felt like it was overtime.

Fortunately, his efforts were still rewarded, and the score was still 0:0 when the whistle blew at the end of the first half

The Cologne fans at the Rheinenergy Stadium were quite excited, hysterically chanting the team anthem and shouting the names of the players, hoping that the players would win Dortmund at home.

At the end of the first half, Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif said: "Cologne's strategy in the first half was very successful, the Dortmund players who had gone through the international break did not find their own rhythm of the game, and Lewandowski, who started for the first time for the team, lacked some chemistry with his team-mates......"

'Borussia Dortmund, who have won eight consecutive league games, are in big trouble and if that form continues until the end of the game, I think it will be difficult for Dortmund to win the game. ”

In the second half, Cologne's game strategy still chose to defend steadily, and even sacrificed the offensive ability of striker Podolski to make up for the space problems in the defense.

As the second half wore on, Cologne coach Fisher felt more and more nervous.

He had already noticed that Clemens, who was defending Tang Zheng, had significantly reduced his physical fitness, and there was definitely no way to play full in the second half.

But here's the problem, the strongest defensive ability of the team at the moment is Clemens, and the other players are simply embarrassed.

Really!

In the 10th minute of the second half, Clemens suffered from cramps.

"That's not a good situation!"

German TV 2 Michael Reti said with a frown at the situation on the field.

Due to the rules of the game, once the team doctor is on the field, the players on the field must go out of the field for medical treatment and wait for the referee to signal that they will return to the field.

In this wave of attacks waiting for Clemens to play on the sidelines, Tang Zheng showed the power of the core.

In addition, Cologne temporarily has one less man to fight, and the protection of the defensive space is insufficient.

Tang Zheng's participation in the attack caused the Cologne defenders to take care of each other, and Shahin and Tang Zheng, who were inserted in the back, came to a cross position, and then Tang Zheng, who got the ball, did not stop the ball and directly found Grosskreutz who was inserted at high speed on the left rib of the attack.

Grosskreutz kept the ball and crossed directly, and substitute Barrios fell to the ground and kicked the ball into the goal.

Borussia Dortmund took a 1-0 lead at the Rheinenergy Stadium.

Due to the FIFA virus, Dortmund did not score in the rest of the attack, so Barrios' goal was the only goal of the game.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Dortmund fans who came to the Rheinenergy Stadium were extremely excited, and the cheers of the only 4,000 people swept the stadium.

Borussia Dortmund's victory set a new record - the first team to win eight consecutive league games since the Bundesliga was founded.

That is to say, from today onwards, there will be such a record in the history of the Bundesliga: at the beginning of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, Dortmund won eight consecutive victories, setting a new Bundesliga opening record!

Although Tang Zheng did not score and did not have a direct assist, the goal came from his key through-the-ball plan, so the Chinese media and fans were very happy.

Not to mention the local media and fans in Dortmund, the shouts that erupted at the Rheinenergy Stadium illustrate it.
