432 World Cup winners?
Borussia Dortmund began their Champions League campaign for the new season.
In the first round of the group stage, they host Arsenal.
On the night of the matchday, in the players' tunnel at the West** Stadium, Tang Hong met his former team-mate at Manchester United, Welbeck, who is now wearing an Arsenal shirt, Van Gaal joined Old Trafford after the World Cup, and Welbeck ended his Red Devils career in north London.
Welbeck nodded to Tang Hong, who just smiled.
Arsenal are basically familiar faces, except for new signing Alexis Sanchez.
Arsenal brought in 272 last year and Sanchez this year, and it looks like the team is getting stronger, and with the rising full-back star Bellerin, the strength should be a little stronger than last year.
Dortmund fans created an atmosphere of terror at home, and when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Arsenal, who were the first to attack, were met with a frenzied counterattack from Dortmund.
Tang Hong tripped 272 when he broke the ball from the back leg in the return defense, a normal offensive and defensive confrontation, but 272's reaction was a little intense.
The other party stood up and said to Tang Hong: "Why do you always want to target me?" Don't go too far, bastard! β
Tang Hong asked inexplicably, "Why are you getting more and more fragile?" It used to be weak, but now why has it become a glass heart? Is the mentality about to explode if you just fall like this? β
272 said-for-tat: "You think you're very good? Do you think you can do whatever you want on the pitch? You'll never win the World Cup! β
The corners of Tang Hong's mouth raised a cruel smile.
"You're right, but I can beat a World Cup winner and it does make me feel good to see a World Cup winner like you embarrassed! Soft eggs! β
Tang Hong can't say that he has any deep hatred with 272, from the confrontation on the field when he played for Manchester United and Real Madrid, to the friction with him when he was in the Champions League group stage with Arsenal last year, and they met on the field for the third year in a row, which is really incompatible.
In fact, even if Tang Hong actively counter-robs, the opponent basically kicks the ball, Tang Hong has no chance to foul, but it is 272 who likes to control the ball at his feet, plus he is the core of the organization, Tang Hong just had the opportunity, on behalf of Manchester United to play Real Madrid, on behalf of Dortmund to play Arsenal.
It's not that Tang Hong is targeting 272, but 272 is a soft persimmon that is clear at a glance.
Arsenal played relatively aggressively at the West** Stadium, but they had limited opportunities to intercept Dortmund's strong encirclement, especially Welbeck's ability to grasp opportunities as a center forward, and the threat that Dortmund's defense could create was very pitiful.
Borussia Dortmund's midfield was quick and responsive.
In the 18th minute of the game, Tang Hong led the ball on the left side of the front field and quickly rushed forward, in the face of Bellerin's active grabbing, Tang Hong saw the opportunity to knock the ball behind him CHOP to complete the cross-cutting to get rid of, and when Arteta rushed to press, Tang Hong passed the ball diagonally to the left front.
Mandzukic took the initiative to pick up the ball and smash it to the left side of the box, Koscielny immediately ran to block it head-on, and Mandzukic smoothly knocked the ball across the middle of the box.
Tang Hong just ran the ball and cut inward, just into the penalty area to see Mertesacker in front, right foot stop the ball after the gesture to buckle the opponent, in the moment of Mertesacker's center of gravity moved, Tang Hong left foot smash the ball back cut and the opponent staggered head-on, and then a step forward to form a single chance!
Facing goalkeeper Szczesny, Tang Hong calmly pushed the ball from a small angle and sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal!
The deafening cheers at West** Stadium resounded in all directions.
Tang Hong pointed at Mandzukic as he ran to the sideline with a smile on his face, high-fived his opponent fiercely, and then jumped up in the corner flag area to make a trademark uppercut celebration!

The Dortmund fans shouted his name like thunder!
Wenger looked helpless on the sidelines, Dortmund's fast pass and fast play combined with Tang Hong's personal ability are simply incomprehensible!
Otherwise they wouldn't be European champions!
Klopp has actually been paying more attention to Mandzukic's performance since the new season.
The reason why the introduction of Immobile was finally abandoned was because of the simple comparison of individual abilities, Inmobile and Mandzukic have their own strengths, and it is difficult to distinguish which is stronger and which is weaker, but in terms of tactics that can further stimulate Tang Hong's threat, Mandzukic is obviously better.
The β¬20 million investment has not been in vain, with Mandzukic being both low-key and willing to submit to a technical and tactical style of play, and is now starting to develop good positive chemistry with the team.
Tang Hong staggered two meters away from 272 on the way back to his own half, and he smiled at 272: "World Cup champion, it's your turn to perform, Arsenal fans must be eager to see the plot of the soft egg's counterattack staged, and I am also looking forward to it." β
272 was expressionless, but couldn't help but clench his fists.
Arsenal didn't rise to the top of the pitch because they were behind, and the organisational ability of the midfield but the fatal flaw of weak defence still limited their performance at the top level.
Borussia Dortmund were ferocious, with Piszczek and Schmelzer taking turns to provide assists and create chances on the flanks, and Dortmund formed a bombardment trend.
Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez occasionally threatened on the counter-attack, but was unable to find the ball inside Borussia Dortmund's goal under the constraints of Hummels and Subotic.
Towards the end of the first half, Piszczek went down the right and turned the ball back into the triangle.
Mkhitaryan took the initiative to receive a diagonal pass to the ground and sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Mandzukic pulled to the left side of the penalty area, and when Koscielny rushed to press, he met the ball and slid it straight into the middle of the box.
Koscielny turned around and was about to release the tackle to clear the ball, but Tang Hong swept in front of him and swept the ball away.
This time, Mertesacker didn't have time to move the defense, so Tang Hong suddenly volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal in the middle of the penalty area!
Brace!
Dortmund fans can't help but start to make a gesture of worship!
Now that Tang Hong is in their eyes, he is definitely going to slaughter the list!
Bundesliga scorer list, Champions League scorer list!
The Arsenal crowd looked ugly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their defense can't stop Dortmund's indiscriminate bombardment!
Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, has no intention of strengthening the defence, and it seems that Wenger has completely abandoned the iron-clad defence of reshaping the team since 2004.
Vieira's departure also took the gunman's Iron Soul with him.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Wenger was anxious, and met Dortmund in the group stage for two consecutive years, but the opponent was quite aggrieved, if you only look at the strength on paper, it seems that the gap is not big, but in the technical and tactical battle, Dortmund's overall defensive counter-robbery strength is obviously stronger than Arsenal.
This may be the gap.
Borussia Dortmund's frantic pressing made it difficult for Arsenal to play with their fluid ground crossings in the past.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, control the ball after every successful counter-attack or attack, and can continue to play attacking threats.
In the 62nd minute of the game, when Tang Hong was attacked by Bellerin, Koscielny, and Arteta on the left side in front of the penalty area, Tang Hong made the last move in the same place and pulled the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area.
The ball rolled between Koscielny and Arteta and they were visibly caught off guard.
Turning his head, Mandzukic successfully met the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area.
Mertesacker scrambled to press, but Mandzukic took a lateral move to widen the distance from Mertesacker and fired a left-footed volley into the far corner.
Szczesny made a flying save to keep the ball out, but in the blink of an eye, Reus made a follow-up shot and sent the ball into the net in the six-yard box in front of goal.
Dortmund fans carnival win!
Tang Hong showed off a comical operation, and did hope to create opportunities for Mandzukic, but the opponent's shot was denied.
Reuss scored to extend the lead to three goals.
Arsenal also exposed their lack of quality in defence.
Borussia Dortmund began to slow down slightly, with Shinji Kagawa and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang coming on one after another.
In the 76th minute of the game, just when Klopp was already about to replace Tang Hong with Adrian Ramos, Tang Hong was pushed to the ground from behind by 272 when he received a pass from Shinji Kagawa in the middle of the front.
When Tang Hong got up and saw that it was 272 fouls, he didn't laugh angrily.
"What? Did the World Cup champion start jumping off the wall in a hurry? β
272's face was pale.
Tang Hong took this direct free kick, and the curling ball shot with his right foot bypassed the human wall and hung in the upper left corner of the goal!
Szczesny didn't even make a save, standing in front of the goal line and smiling bitterly.
Tang Hong scored a hat trick!
Arsene Wenger spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines, disappointed with his team's performance.
Borussia Dortmund 4:0 Arsenal.
Ramos came on to replace Tang Hong, and the Dortmund fans greeted him with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
In the end, Borussia Dortmund swept Arsenal at home to get off to a good start in the Champions League group stage.
After the game, Tang Hong took away the game ball, and when interviewed by reporters, the media obviously noticed the friction between Tang Hong and 272 on the field, so they asked Tang Hong what he said about it.
Tang Hong said lightly: "I don't want to talk about the loser, it doesn't make any sense, the important thing is that we won a win today, which is a good start on our way to defending the Champions League."
As for how the other teams are doing, I don't care, and I don't care.
There's inevitably friction on the pitch and if I lost today or suffered an unfair penalty I'd have had a good chat with you, but today I'm in a good mood and I'd rather celebrate with my team-mates and take stock of my own performance than talk about things that don't matter to me.
You can use your imagination to write gossip for your audience and readers.
I'm going to enjoy the win with my teammates, bye-bye. β
