Grass roots glory

Chapter 607 Club World Cup

The focus of the entire Bundesliga ended in a draw. Bayern and Borussia Dortmund had to continue to compete for the hegemony. The Munich media praised Heynckes' employment.The old coach is still the old coach. He used extreme tactics to arouse Bayern's dominance at the last moment, and also retained the possibility of winning the championship. At least for now, the two teams still have the same points.Bayern still has a psychological advantage. After all, Dortmund is fighting on the third front, and they can't even come up with two lineups of similar strength. In the second half of the season, they don't believe that Dortmund will not collapse.

Although Klopp has done everything possible to rotate the lineup, after all, the schedule is intensive, and Manchester City will be played in the last round of the Champions League group stage. Can this be handled with a set of substitutes?Obviously not.Although the result is not important, but the loss is too ugly, the fans will not agree.

In the final match against Manchester City in the group stage, Dortmund had nothing they wanted, and they had secured the first place in the group.But despite this, Dortmund still showed enough respect for the Premier League champions, and the pace of the game remained at the intensity everyone expected.

Mancini's team also came with a goal. They don't want to be double-killed both home and away. This is unacceptable for the Premier League champions.The English media has always firmly believed that the Premier League is the number one league in the world—whether it is the construction of the league system, competitiveness or commercial development, it is the undisputed leader in the world. Although Manchester City is an upstart in the league, but as such A "World's No. [-] League" champion should be competitive in the UEFA Champions League-the English media's expectations are not low, the quarter-finals are only the minimum goal, and the Manchester media even called the goal to the final.

In this case, if Mancini fails to win the game, it is not difficult to guess what kind of public opinion situation he will face. Even if he is Italian, he will inevitably encounter a public opinion storm.

In fact, Manchester City has played at a super level. Although Dortmund has the ball possession advantage, Manchester City has created as many opportunities as they do. At the Westfalen Stadium, there are few teams in Europe that can play against Dortmund. The home atmosphere and mad dog-style pressing are evenly divided with them.

But in the end, it is the ability to seize opportunities. Dortmund's ability to seize opportunities is even better.

In the 7th minute, Zhou Tiancheng made a direct pass from Kuba to the bottom of the goal. Seaber, who played Lewandowski in front of the goal, got a chance and scored the only winning goal.

Dortmund eventually became the seventh team in Europe since the restructuring of the Champions League and the second team in the Bundesliga to win the group stage. The other team is Schalke 04, and Zhou Tiancheng is the biggest contributor.

After the Champions League group stage, before the start of the European winter break, Dortmund will be very relaxed. There is still one league game against Wolfsburg, and then the entire Bundesliga schedule began to give way.Dortmund will have one more game task, as last season's Champions League champion, to participate in the upcoming 2012 Club World Cup in Japan, which is the FIFA Club World Cup.

Of course, in terms of Dortmund's strength, participating in this game is just a formality, which is actually the case for previous Champions League champions.

Compared with the World Cup, which is attended by 32 top national teams every four years and has attracted worldwide attention, the entry standard of the Club World Cup seems to be higher and higher. Team participation is ostensibly a championship event, but from the perspective of influence, even the Confederations Cup of the same nature at the national team level is far better than the Club World Cup.

This event was founded by FIFA in 2000. After the first session, it was suspended for several years due to sponsor reasons, and it was not resumed until 2005.In the eight competitions that have been held, Corinthians and Sao Paulo from South America have won two championships, and the rest have been monopolized by the Champions League without exception.Although it is based on the predecessor of the Toyota Cup, the scale of the competition has been expanded, but the other teams are basically studying with the prince, and the Champions League champion won the championship without much effort.

So this kind of game does not require Klopp to deliberately prepare at all, playing this kind of game with Dortmund's lineup configuration and state, it is clear that this is bullying.Almost all giants know this, but every game, without exception, these giants play with all their main players.

What this kind of game wants is the star effect.To put it bluntly, commercial considerations go far beyond the competitive level.

2012年世俱杯12月6日开赛，揭幕战东道主日本J联赛冠军1:0击败来自大洋洲的冠军奥克兰城，来自亚洲冠军联赛的冠军蔚山现代1:3负于来自北美的冠军墨西哥超级联赛球队蒙特雷。

During Zhou Tiancheng's time at Schalke, he missed a chance to play in the Club World Cup because of the Asian Cup. Before that, he thought about whether he could have a chance to play a game with Guangzhou Evergrande, a Chinese Super League team, and a group of teammates from his national team. And former Dortmund teammate Barrios had a head-on touch.He knows that this team has the top level in Asia.But in the end it didn't work out.Guangzhou Evergrande was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League this year by Ittihad from Saudi Arabia 5:4 in two rounds.

According to the rules of the Club World Cup, the Champions League champion and the Copa Libertadores champion will advance directly in the first two rounds, which means that Dortmund only needs to start from the semi-finals.

According to the results of the draw, what they need to meet is the winner between the AFC champion and the North American champion.

Mexico's Monterrey eliminated Ulsan Hyundai, meaning they will run into Borussia Dortmund.

……

In the league with Wolfsburg, Dortmund lost 2:3 in an away game to their opponents. Before going to the Club World Cup, they handed over the top position in the Bundesliga standings.It was a blow to the head, so when the whole team set off for Japan, they were not very interested, including Zhou Tiancheng. He didn't like to lose, let alone handed over the top spot in the league before the end of the half.

Although he doesn't really believe in the [-]% rule that the Bundesliga half-time champion will aspire to the final league championship, but who is willing to hand over the top spot?
It is better to let the opponent see his own face than to see the face of others.

The only nervous person on the plane was probably Gross Kreutz, a big flower, he joked with Zhou Tiancheng: "Zhou, don't make a bitter face, this is going to Japan, what a trip... …Anyway, the Christmas holiday is coming after this game, and you, Uncle Kevin, are going to experience the legendary island country porn site, do you want to come together?”

"Screw you, Kevin." This time Zhou Tiancheng was not polite at all, he was sure that this guy came here to kick his nose on purpose.

Gross Kreutz was not angry at all, but instead smiled evilly: "Zhou, don't blame me for not reminding you, you have to be mentally prepared later, with your reputation, maybe some fans will rush towards you... Japan likes strong men, and your type fits their style very well."

Zhou Tiancheng didn't bother to talk to him at all, what he was thinking about now was how to get this champion to be happy, no matter how small a mosquito is, it was meat, in Zhou Tiancheng's place, as long as it was a competition, there was nothing wrong with it.

PS: I arrived in Xi'an in the afternoon and settled down.It will start to explode tomorrow.

If you have time, go see the Holy Suzaku~
