Chapter 254: Players Not in the Rotation (2/10, Ask for Subscription!)
Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win at Barcelona came as a surprise to the media, fans and football pundits alike, but even more so from the course of the game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dortmund's three penalties were ignored by referee Kuppes on duty, and the penalty in the second half directly affected the final trend of the game.
Barcelona relied on fouls in the box to play a quick counterattack, and finally Messi scored the goal to narrow the score.
After the game, although Tang Zheng and Klopp did not express their dissatisfaction with the referee Kupes's problem, those players who gave 100% or even 12% could not bear it.
Gundogan, who received a red card in last year's UEFA Super Cup, said in an interview with the Munich Evening News: "We are the winners and we should have qualified for the last four of the Champions League, the referee ruined everything and stole our qualification, just like the 2008-2009 season when Chelsea was at home and Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals. ”
The captain Kyle, who did not travel with the team to Catalonia, was very angry, saying: "My brothers have done a great job! But there are always people who don't want us to go any further, there are too many clues in the first and second legs, and I don't want to say anything else, I just want to say that our semi-final four places have met robbers!
The veteran Andrea Pirlo came to Dortmund to continue to prove himself, and the semi-final qualification that originally belonged to Dortmund was misjudged by the referee in a row, and he was not happy: "I don't want to say anything else, go back and watch the video myself." ”
Barcelona was the team that eventually qualified for the semi-finals of the 2011-2012 Champions League, but the road to promotion was somewhat criticized by the media.
In particular, Madrid-based media outlets Marca and As, two pro-Real Madrid outlets that describe Barcelona's promotion as "disgraceful".
The headline in the German newspaper Bild said: "The referee stole the qualification that belonged to Borussia Dortmund!"
The French newspaper "Team" did not say it too bluntly, but said relatively objectively: "The ups and downs of classic matches are always accompanied by controversy, and this is football, an inevitable problem." ”
Dortmund had already been misjudged by the referee in the first leg, and three obvious penalties were not awarded in this game, which made the media and experts find a place to make news.
Referee Copes naturally bore the brunt, as did Barcelona, who benefited.
Although the process of the game was not what Barcelona wanted, as the Chinese saying goes, "I don't kill Bole, but Bole dies because of me." ”
The Borussia Dortmund players who flew back to Germany were treated like heroes, and even if many of the fans who came to the airport were not Dortmund fans, they cheered on the spirit of the night at Camp Nou.
Even, many fans who are not Dortmund fans became Dortmund fans last night.
Tang Zheng, as the biggest contributor to Dortmund's victory at Camp Nou last night, is naturally the player with the highest fan voice.
Among them, the screams of female fans are the loudest, and there are even many bold female fans who shout for the speechlessness theory of having children for him.
Tang Zheng was also ridiculed by his teammates because of this.
However, Hummels did not have the courage, and his past tragic experience told him that he could not do all sarcastic and mocking remarks and body movements of Tang Zheng.
Otherwise, Tang Zheng would definitely do something that made him doubt his life.

The Champions League semi-finals are all out, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Chelsea.
The semi-final matches are Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich and Barcelona vs Chelsea.
Many European media believe that the future Champions League final is likely to be the Spanish national derby, after all, judging from the overall strength of the squad, Real Madrid and Barcelona are indeed very likely to advance to the final Champions League final.
However, the specific final can only be won by trying to win two games, home and away.
Barcelona and Chelsea met again in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and many people thought of the 2008-2009 Champions League semi-finals, so many British media took the 'Stamford Bridge tragedy' and the unfair treatment of Borussia Dortmund.
They don't expect UEFA to investigate the possibility of Barcelona buying referees, at least hoping that the next two games will be treated fairly.
The 2011-2012 Champions League season is over for Borussia Dortmund, who are not paying attention to the Champions League anymore.
Life needs to go on, and the league is not over.
There are still six rounds left in the league, Dortmund has 21 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 69 points, only nine points ahead of Bayern Munich, which is second in the league, and the league is still in suspense.
Unless they win Bayern Munich at home in the next round and further extend their points advantage, they cannot be taken lightly.
And after the German national derby, there is also a Ruhr derby, which will involve Schalke 04 whether they can get a Champions League place next season, so the intensity goes without saying.
In addition to Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 in the remaining six league games, Dortmund also face Borussia Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg.
Among them, Wolfsburg is Dortmund's next league opponent, and it is an away challenge.
Jurgen Klopp made some changes to his starting line-up considering that the Champions League away game in midweek consumed too much energy from his main players.
Of course, as long as Tang Zheng is healthy, he is not within the scope of rotation adjustment.
Because the team with Tang Zheng and the team without Tang Zheng are completely equal to two teams.
The last two Champions League quarter-finals have been very obvious.
Even as a guest at the Volkswagen Arena, Dortmund led by Tang Zheng defeated the home team Wolfsburg 3:1 away.
Next up is the second leg of the 2011-2012 German national derby, with Borussia Dortmund taking on Bayern Munich at the Westfallun Stadium.
For this game, many media are quite optimistic about Dortmund.
Why?
Because Bayern Munich will start the first leg of the 2011-2012 Champions League semi-finals in midweek, hosting the galaxy Real Madrid.
Which is more important, the league or the Champions League, Bayern Munich, as a giant, knows better than anyone else.
Luckily, while Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were playing the German national derby, Real Madrid also had a Madrid derby.
It's just that compared to the Madrid derby, the German national derby is more gimmick and attractive.
Moreover, with the last five rounds of the league remaining, Dortmund is still nine points ahead of Bayern Munich, which means that even if Bayern Munich beat Dortmund, they will have no meaning except to narrow the gap between them.
If they want to win the league title, they also have to rely on Dortmund to have a back-to-back league defeat and their own back-to-back wins.
Will this be the case for Borussia Dortmund without Champions League pressure?
Yes.
It's just that the hope is negligible.
Bayern head coach Heynckes said ahead of the German national derby that they would not miss a single game and that the team would give it their all as long as there was any hope for the league.
The remarks of the old coach Heynckes were supported by many Bayern players and fans.
It's just that the line-up of the actual visitors to Westphalia makes people feel that Heynckes put a small smoke bomb before the game.
The heart of the midfield, Schweinsteiger, Franck Franck Ribery and Muller were all on the bench, apparently for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
On the day of the game, Westphalun Stadium was packed, the stadium was full of people, and the atmosphere was very frenetic.
Borussia Dortmund's home game against Bayern Munich was full of players, and they launched wave after wave of attacks amid the cheers of the Dortmund fans throughout the stadium.
Bayern Munich, which lacks three main players, is tired of defending most of the time, and the offensive end can only rely on Robben to break through after winning the ball on the wing.
As for the effect, half of the game was not seen in the past.
In the words of Sky Deutschland commentator Marcel Leif: "The taste of the German national derby has become so fast that it is almost like a half-time attack and defense drill for Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich is hanging in the air against Real Madrid in this position." ”
Fortunately, at the end of the half, the score was still 0:0
In the second half, Franck Franck Ribery, Schweinsteiger and Muller came off the bench to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at home in midweek.
From the beginning of the 2009-2010 season to the present, Bayern Munich has faced Dortmund without a win in eight games.
Except for the 2009-2010 season, the next six league games were all lost.
Tang Zheng is known as Bayern's nemesis by the media, and has scored a crazy eleven goals in the past eight games, which is the biggest contributor to Dortmund's six consecutive victories against Bayern Munich.
I don't know if Tang Zheng was not interested in facing a team and a half main Bayern Munich, and when Muller came on as a substitute for Olic in the 72nd minute of the game, he began to exert his power.
Two minutes later, Tang Zheng received a through ball from Andrea Pirlo in the 40-meter area and passed Schweinsteiger, and then played a one-two with Götze hitting the wall, and when he came to the 30-meter area, he suddenly took a long shot.
Goalkeeper Neuer was very well prepared, but he was still powerless in the face of Tang Zheng's violent long-range shot like a cannonball.
The football hung in the upper right corner of the goal, and Dortmund took a 1-0 lead at home!
"Whew-"
At the same time, the Westphalian Lun Field truly entered the seismic déjà vu of the earth, and the cheers were deafening.
Bayern Munich, who were behind the score, had to step up their attack, and Dortmund's counter-attacking opportunities began to increase.
However, in the ensuing game time, neither side was able to change the score, and the score of 1:0 continued until the end of the game.
The name of Bayern's nemesis, Tang Zheng has to continue again.
Nine games, seven wins, two draws, and 12 goals, well deserved.
Dortmund, who won the game, has opened 12 points with Bayern Munich, and with the final four rounds of the league remaining, Dortmund has 75 points to defend the league title.
The only suspense is how many points Dortmund can get this season and whether they can break last season's league points record.
