Arsene Wenger praised Tang Hong, who scored a hat-trick after the game, and he also expressed his regret that he could not bring in Tang Hong in the summer for two consecutive years.

Fortunately, Dortmund's other players did not score, otherwise Wenger's statement that the difference in strength between the two teams is just a Tang Hong, I am afraid that it is untenable.

There was an embarrassing result for Arsenal in the other game.

Napoli beat Marseille 2-1 away!

This means that if Napoli beat Marseille at home in the next round and Arsenal also lose away to Borussia Dortmund, Napoli will be level on points with Arsenal!

Borussia Dortmund are just one win away from qualifying, and if they win at home to Arsenal in the next round, they will be two rounds ahead of schedule in the last 16 of the Champions League!

Back in Germany, a big game awaits them in the league.

Ruhr derby!

In the early years, the Ruhr derby was still very hot and interesting because of the small gap between Dortmund and Schalke 04, but in the past two years, the strength of the two teams is one or the other, Schalke 04's operation is similar to that of Hamburg, and the recruitment is not successful, the team has structural problems, plus the frequent change of manager, and the tactical play cannot be stable and continue, so that the team's record is erratic.

Tang Hong had played against Schalke 04 when he represented Braga, when Schalke 04 performed well in the Bundesliga, accompanied by Raul to go to the Middle East to pan for gold, Huntelaar and Farfan recuperated from injuries this season, and Schalke 04 performed well in the league in the new season.

Just being left behind by the first group early has also laid the foundation for the ultimate goal of the season, which is only to finish fourth and fight for a Champions League qualification, and if the results drop before the second half of the season, I am afraid that I can only compete for a place in the Europa League.

The battle between the sworn enemies was very popular, and the fans of both sides were in battle outside the Schalke stadium on the day of the match, and the strengthening of security forces heralded the smell of gunpowder from both sides, which forced people to be on high alert.

The strong side between the sworn enemies is of course dismissive of the other, and if Dortmund really take Schalke 04 in their eyes, they will be exalting the other side's performance.

Just run over the enemy when you encounter it.

Tang Hong specially instructed Sun Rou and Chen Manhong not to go to the scene to watch the game, not because they were afraid of accidents in the stadium, but because they were worried that outside the stadium before and after the game, in case there was a small-scale riot due to the derby between sworn enemies, it would be easy to have potential safety hazards at that time.

Before the game, Klopp asked the players in the dressing room to cheer up and beat Schalke 04 to death, and specially emphasized that a good performance in this game will give them extra points!

No matter how you listen to this, it is like saying it to Lewandowski.

Since the last negotiation with Borussia Dortmund failed to reach an agreement, and it was also announced that Dortmund had failed to renew Lewandowski's contract, Lewandowski has failed to perform well in the league and the Champions League.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, and I don't know if he hasn't recovered from the fatigue of FIFA matchday.

The starters of the two teams came to the players' tunnel to line up, Tang Hong met the Japanese player Atsuto Uchida, and the two shook hands and said hello, which can be regarded as old rivals.

The Schalke Stadium was packed, and the derby also attracted many celebrities from Germany, as Dortmund started the new season in the Bundesliga with nine consecutive wins, and so far Dortmund has stolen the limelight from Bayern Munich on home soil.

Everyone wants to see how long Dortmund's strength can last.

If Borussia Dortmund win today's league, they will not only set a record of 10 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga, but will also equal the record of 16 consecutive wins in all competitions set by Bayer Leverkusen in 1978.

It's no surprise that they're in the spotlight.

The cheering on the scene was particularly frenetic? The flags of both teams fluttering in their respective camps in the stands? The scene is spectacular!

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, the Bundesliga finale of the 10th round of the Ruhr derby is about to take place at the Schalke Stadium.

Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, bitter rivals, have continued to perform in the same way as in the previous two years this season? Dortmund is better? Or that this year's Borussia Dortmund is better than in previous seasons.

In the first 9 rounds of the league, Schalke 04 won 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses? Earn 14 points.

Dortmund's record in the first 9 rounds is to win all of them, accumulating 27 points!

With Dortmund's improvement in the past few years? Are they also increasing their investment in summer reinforcements? The most important signing this summer is the addition of super striker Tang Hong, who has contributed 25 goals for Dortmund in all competitions in the new season, including 18 goals in the league? 5 goals in the Champions League? 2 goals in the German Super Cup.

Tang Hong, who currently dominates the top scorer list, is expected to break the Bundesliga record of 40 goals in a single season set by Gerd Muller.

Schalke 04's biggest addition in the summer was the introduction of Kevin Boateng from AC Milan, and the performance of the new signings was naturally better on the side of Dortmund.

What will happen in the Ruhr derby today, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams.

Schalke 04 starting 451.

Goalkeeper: Hildebrand.

Defenders: Atsuto Uchida, Hevedes, Kolasinac? Ogo.

Midfielders: Draxler, Matip? Neustadt, Forchs? Kevin Boateng.

Forward: Sholoy.

Schalke 04 missed the squad due to Farfan and Huntelaar due to injury, and their attacking power was seriously damaged? So in the starting line-up in addition to Draxler? Kevin Boateng? With the exception of Sholoy, the rest of the players are more defensive than offensive, including central midfielder Neustadt.

Borussia Dortmund started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Grosskloitz, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.

Midfielders: Sven Bender, Mkhitaryan, Gundogan.

Forwards: Reuss, Lewandowski, Tang Hong.

Piszczek was injured in training yesterday and missed the derby, which was not much of an impact for Borussia Dortmund given Schalke 04's limited attacking ability.

The game starts soon, let's see if Dortmund can win the first ten consecutive wins of the Bundesliga today! ”

After the referee blew the whistle to signal the start of the game, the Ruhr derby was full of gunpowder.

Lewandowski was fouled by Matip when he touched the ball for the first time, because the action was not obvious, the referee blew the opponent for the foul but did not give a card, but Lewandowski was kicked a little painfully.

2 minutes later, Tang Hong and Gundogan pinched together when he grabbed Draxler and put the opponent directly to the ground, and Draxler, who fell to the ground in embarrassment, was also angry, and the referee still didn't give a card.

Schalke 04 placed 7 sappers in the midfield and backfield, of which Matip from the back line to the back line to the back line is specifically to contain Tang Hong's play.

Atsuto Uchida was obviously using his brains to defend and limit Tang Hong, while Matip was surging with a sledgehammer and hitting the black foot.

Since it is a derby between mortal enemies, even if the action is bigger, it will not be unknown to your own fans, but will be supported!

Therefore, the players themselves do not have too much psychological burden.

When Tang Hong just stopped the ball on the side of the front court and retreated to dodge the counter-robbery from Neustadt, the opponent had obviously been shaken, but he still took a step back and swept Tang Hong to the ground!

Tang Hong fell to the ground and gritted his teeth to endure the pain, he didn't scream, but there was already sweat on his forehead.

Dortmund generals rushed to besiege Neustadt, which was in the middle of the hand, Schalke 04 players also rushed over, seeing that the conflict was about to break out, the referee directly took out the card to warn Neustadt, not only to calm the anger of Dortmund's side, but also to warn others!

After simple treatment and pain relief from the team doctor, Tang Hong continued to devote himself to the game.

Schalke 04's attack has no good routines, simple passes and cuts up front and individual breakthroughs to create threats, it is basically difficult to penetrate Dortmund's wide defense to form a deep threat, and can only try their luck with long-range shots from the perimeter.

Kevin Boateng had a reliable shot saved by Weidenfeller in the 20th minute.

Tang Hong was served by Schalke 04's lethal tactics in this game, and he had to reduce his possession in the game, frequently kicking the ball to divert the attack, and then looking for opportunities by running.

Even so, he was swept to the ground from behind by Joel Matip when he had already played the ball in the 31st minute.

Tang Hong fell to the ground again, unable to get up for the first time.

Schalke 04 fans think he's acting, but Tang Hong's fans all know that if he doesn't need a break or is really injured, he will definitely get up quickly!

He never creates an image on the court that he can be easily knocked down.

The referee also showed Matip a yellow card.

Schalke 04's fans were very dissatisfied and greeted the referee with boos.

Dortmund's attack in the front court lost its offensive continuity due to frequent fouls by the opponent, and there was no rhythm at all.

However, Schalke 04 already had three players with yellow cards in the 35th minute of the game.

Ogo's foul on Reus also resulted in a yellow card.

The derby between sworn enemies was a bit ugly, Schalke 04 couldn't fight and could only limit Dortmund's attack with a brutal defence.

Just as children distinguish between right and wrong, adults only look at the pros and cons.

There is no point in simply accusing Schalke 04 of being too rough, Dortmund can win the game is the last word.

Can't win, the accusation is more like the groan of the weak.

In the 42nd minute of the game, seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, Matip and Forges temporarily switched positions, because Matip had a yellow card, and replaced Forges to limit Tang Hong.

Tang Hong took the initiative to retreat and open the distance between him and the opponent, and then stopped the ball in place when he received Gundogan's pass, and turned forward directly after stopping the ball.

Forges first followed Tang Hong, but saw that the football was in place and stopped and wanted to control the ball, but this movement not only lost Tang Hong, Schmelzer stepped forward to pick the ball behind Atsuto Uchida, and Fuches failed to intercept.

Tang Hong quickly rushed to the front area of the bottom line to stop the ball and then pulled the ball back and retreated a step, Atsuto Uchida returned to the defense and chased in place, and immediately stopped and planned to grab, but he didn't expect Tang Hong to smash the ball and change direction to accelerate in the direction of the bottom line.

Tang Hong dribbled and cut into the penalty area to face the defender Kolasinac's defensive possession, and immediately after slowing down, he continued to knock the ball at his feet and changed to the croquettes to complete the change of direction breakthrough, Kolasinac, who was only 3 months older than Tang Hong, was still slightly lacking in experience, and turned around and shoveled after being deceived by the center of gravity, Tang Hong adjusted the ball and was just about to shoot but was tripped by the opponent in the penalty area.

The referee decisively whistles and points to the penalty spot in the penalty area!

Borussia Dortmund get a penalty!
