Chapter 0100: First Come, First Come?
As early as half a month ago, Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp informed the players one by one that they would return to the Stoberari training center on July 21 to resume training.
However, the training center was maintained a month ago and returned to service for all echelons. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
So Tang Zheng, who returned to Dortmund early, did not wait, he came to the Stoberari training center early the next day.
"Huh, isn't it the 21st to assemble?"
Uncle Michael, the doorman of the training center, asked Tang Zheng curiously.
Tang Zheng honestly explained: "I am idle at home, so I returned to the training center in advance to lose weight, although although I consciously avoided eating when I returned to China this time, I still weighed a little heavier." ”
After that, Tang Zheng waved to Uncle Michael and said, "I'll go in first, and we'll talk again when I have time." ”
Uncle Michael, the doorman, looked at Tang Zheng's back as he gradually moved away, and nodded with satisfaction.
This young man is very good!
In the strength room, Tang Zheng measured his height and weight.
The height is still unchanged, one meter ninety-four.
The weight has increased significantly, from 83 kg at the end of the season to 87.5 kg now.
Although this weight is not obvious for Tang Zheng's height, Tang Zheng always feels that he will always be disturbed when doing movements, and it is not as smooth as last season's league.
He knows that this is due to an increase in fat, which affects the coordination of the body.
Europeans treat football like a 9-to-5 job, few players will take the initiative to practice, South American players are naturally lazy and lack self-discipline, and now Dortmund only Tang Zheng returned to the training base early.
Therefore, until July 21, Tang Zheng completed aerobic training and anaerobic training alone.
After five days of training, Tang Zheng's weight was successfully reduced from the original 87.5 kilograms to 85 kilograms, but it was still one to two kilograms short of his ideal weight.
Tang Zheng is characterized by strong explosiveness and quick reactions, and it is not easy to achieve a balance between the two, especially a big man like Tang Zheng who is more than 1.9 meters tall.
Of course, he feels much better now than he did when he returned to Dortmund five days ago.
He believes that with continuous systematic training, that subtle feeling will come back.
July 21 is the time for all players in the Dortmund team to return to the team, except for those who are recovering from injuries.
Due to the World Cup, this holiday is as long as two months, and many players are a little blessed.
Head coach Klopp's expression was obviously not good-looking, but Tang Zheng's physical condition reassured him as always.
What is professionalism?
Tang Zheng is a good example.
Before the resumption of training, Jurgen Klopp introduced the new players as is customary.
Through the previous transfer window, Tang Zheng already knew that the team had only brought in four players in the summer, namely Poland Piszczek and Lewandowski.
The remaining two are Shinji Kagawa of Japan and Langerak of Australia.
In fact, to be honest, Tang Zheng doesn't have any good feelings for Shinji Kagawa, but he can't stand the other party's constant sycophancy.
In the summer transfer window, some people join and some leave.
Egyptian striker Zidan and German striker Langelof left the club to join a new club, after not playing much last season.
The next day, Borussia Dortmund held a press conference at the Westfalfa Stadium, where the club's sporting director Zorc was very excited to announce that Tang Zheng had successfully renewed his contract with Borussia Dortmund until the summer of 2014.
It was only then that the Chinese media and the German media knew why there were no transfer rumors of Tang Zheng this summer, and it turned out to be a salary increase.
Previously, some media revealed that Tang Zheng's annual salary was second only to Kyle, and now he has renewed his contract for one year on the basis of the original contract, which means that Tang Zheng's personal treatment has increased.
This news made the Chinese media excited!
Because this new contract will most likely make Tang Zheng the highest salary in Dortmund!
At the same time, manager Jurgen Klopp also announced that Tang Zheng will become the team's third captain in the new season.
But here comes the problem, Dortmund's first captain is Dede, the second captain is Kehl, and the third captain is goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
Now announcing Tang Zheng as Dortmund's third captain basically means that Tang Zheng replaces Weidenfeller......
Klopp explained the concerns raised by Dortmund's local media, saying that once Dede and Kehl were not on the field, goalkeeper Weidenfeller was too far away from the midfield and it was difficult to protect the team's rights and interests on the field, so Tang Zheng, who had excellent attendance and leadership, was promoted to the third captain.
In addition, the press conference also revealed that Tang Zheng will wear the No. 10 jersey left by Egyptian striker Zidan in the 2010-2011 season.
The number 10 is the core of the football world.
Tang Zheng, who was originally the core of Dortmund, now gets the No. 10 jersey and is a veritable core of the team.
Borussia Dortmund's decision upset the Japanese media, who believe that Zidan's departure of the number 10 shirt should be reserved for talented player Shinji Kagawa.
Of course, as long as the Chinese media is cool, it's OK.

During Borussia Dortmund's regrouping for next month's German Super Cup, the squad is focused on recovering in shape and fitness.
The German transfer market has been sluggish all summer.
Bayern, the boss of the Bundesliga, has not bought anyone so far, and several transfers have been returned on loan without spending a penny.
In fact, this is directly related to Dortmund's refusal to sell Tang Zheng.
According to Bild, Bayern's highest bid of €35 million was rejected by Borussia Dortmund, so they had to end their loan deal with Bayer Leverkusen and reclaim Toni Kroos.
Real Madrid, who have been the predators of the summer transfer window in recent years, have only paid 8 million euros for Canales and 25 million euros for Di Maria from Benfica.
Of course, with a month to go until the transfer market closes, Real Madrid have not stopped the pace of recruitment, and they must increase their reinforcements to fight against Barcelona.
Barcelona have already spent €40 million to bring Villa from Mestalla this summer, and they have the quality to bring in more players.
Real Madrid President Florentino expressed his love for Dortmund player Tang Zheng in many media interviews, but unfortunately the offer reached 35 million Dortmund and there was no idea of selling, so he had to give up looking for a replacement.
In this case, Ozil and Khedira, who have performed well in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, have become the prey of Real Madrid to replace Tang Zheng.
So far, the hottest performance in the transfer market is undoubtedly Manchester City, which is owned by UAE tycoons, who took David Silva from Mestalla for £24 million during the World Cup.
Now they have spent £28 million on Ivory Coast international Yaya Toure from Barcelona, 17 million pounds for Kolarov from Lazio and £10 million for Jerome Boateng from Hamburg.
There are also £24 million for England international James Milner and £26 million for problem boy Balotelli.
The other four giants of the Premier League have not made big moves, and only Manchester United spent 10 million pounds to buy the post-90s youngster Smalling from Fulham.
Arsenal spent £10 million on French centre-back Koscielny, Liverpool spent £11 million on Portugal international Merreles, and Chelsea are still only selling people, and the buying has not yet begun.

Jurgen Klopp has a lot of ideas for the new season, he wants to win the Bundesliga in 2010-2011 and go further in Europe.
Although Borussia Dortmund did not invest much in the transfer market this summer, and the players they bought were unknown, they were enough for Klopp.
Lewandowski was the top scorer in the Polish league last season and has a lot of potential and is a great addition to the forward line.
Piszczek, also from Poland, has been the main right-back during his time at Hertha Berlin, and his performances have been very good, attacking and defending, which is completely in line with Klopp's fast-paced tactical approach to attacking and defending.
Japanese player Shinji Kagawa, who is favored by chief scout Mislintat, is currently in the team without a definite position, but can appear as a substitute in the Bundesliga.
In addition, Mario Gotze, who performed very well at the end of last season, can play a heavy role this season and share the pressure of Tang Zheng's playmaking and attacking on the field.
Therefore, Klopp believes that Dortmund in the new season will definitely hang a storm of youth in the Bundesliga!
Before the start of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, Dortmund have two games, the first of which is at home to Bayern Munich, opponents of the German Super Cup, on the 7th of next month.
The second was a friendly in nature against a low-level team from Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalun.
However, the priority now is to restore the fitness of the players and try to achieve the best results before the start of the German Super Cup.
As August approaches, Dortmund's sworn enemy Schalke 04 has once again caused a stir in the German summer transfer market.
On the afternoon of July 28, local time in Germany, it was announced on the official website of Schalke 04 that Real Madrid's legendary captain Raul would join the team in the new season, and announced that the two sides signed a two-year work contract.
Raul will also wear the number seven jersey he is familiar with, and the original owner of the number seven jersey, Hao Junmin, had to change to the number eight jersey.
Tang Zheng did not have much emotional turmoil about Raul joining Schalke 04, and the three-year-old joined Schalke 04 at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve this year, in addition to having a generous annual salary, that is, Schalke 04 has a direct place to participate in the Champions League.
At the same time, he was a little dissatisfied with Raul holding the No. 7 jersey of Hao Junmin, even if you are a famous star, there is no need to take the jersey of your current teammates, right?
After a whole season of running-in, Tang Zheng also recognized Westphalic LUN's team culture, and had a kind of dissatisfaction with Schalke 04 from the heart, so in an interview with the local media in Dortmund, he bombarded Raul: "There has always been a tacit understanding in this world called first come, first come, I want to make it clear that even if he wears a familiar number, there will be no additional attribute increase, and next season it is still impossible to avoid being killed by us."
