Midfielder Ruler

European local time on May 4th, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Dortmund, Westphalia Stadium, the focus of football fans all over the world.

Borussia Dortmund will take on league leaders Bayern Munich at the Westfalenstadion.

This is a focus battle related to the Bundesliga title this season, and it is also a battle of glory for the Bayern players who have just been eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals, or the only remaining league title is their fig leaf.

The 4:1 first leg of the Champions League semi-final once made everyone think that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund would be in the Champions League final this season. As a result, Dortmund beat Barcelona 3:0 away, giving Barcelona the biggest shameful score since the team was established 114 years ago.

However, Bayern Munich was unexpectedly defeated by Real Madrid's Jedi counterattack at home 0:3 in the away game, reversing and advancing.

Coupled with Dortmund's 12 unbeaten games and 10 consecutive victories against Bayern Munich in all competitions, Bayern's pressure can be imagined.

It is against this background that the national derby in the second round of the Bundesliga in the 2012-2013 season has attracted more attention.

In addition, it cannot be ignored that the celebrities and fans of the two teams launched a large-scale war of words before the game, which brought great public opinion to this game.

It happened to be the weekend, and there were still four hours before the start of the game. The outer square of the Westfalenstadion was already overcrowded. Dortmund fans in yellow and black striped shirts almost occupied the entire square, creating a frenzied atmosphere at home.

Many Bayern fans also came to the scene to cheer and cheer for their beloved team, but they were not a bit worse than the deafening cheers produced by Dortmund fans.

They sang team songs and chanted slogans in an organized manner, and the atmosphere was extremely frenzied.

Aww-

About two hours later, when the Dortmund team took the bus to the main road outside the Westfalen Stadium, the Dortmund fans who had been waiting for a long time suddenly created a huge cheer that resounded through the sky.

Sitting on the bus, Tang Zheng didn't sit with his friend Hummels, but sat next to Yan Junling.

Yan Junling’s psychological pressure was limited in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final because of the 4-0 first leg, but this German national derby is different. Dortmund must win at home if they want to reverse Bayern Munich’s reversal and win the league championship. .

The position of the goalkeeper is very special.

As the saying goes, a good goalkeeper can be worth half of the team, and at the same time a bad player can destroy a team.

Heaven and hell are only in one thought.

It is conceivable how much pressure Yan Junling will have on representing Dortmund in a major game for the second time...

Hearing the loud cheers coming from outside the bus, Yan Junling's shoulders shook, Tang Zheng had a keen insight into this, he turned his head and said to Yan Junling, Nervous?

Yan Junling did not deny it, nodded lightly, and raised his right index finger: There is a little bit.

I can understand. Tang Zheng put his arms around his chest, turned his head to look at Yan Junling, very serious: However, I will not say more, because I believe that you can show a better performance than the Champions League semi-finals, and you will be doomed. Born to compete at a high level.

After all, without waiting for Yan Junling to reply, he stood up from his seat, followed the teammates in front of him to get off the bus, and left Yan Junling sitting there to adjust himself.

As Tang Zheng said, there is no need to say a lot, we are all adults, so we can just stop talking.

The cheers from outside the window became louder and louder, and Yan Junling's heart fluctuated more and more frequently, but at the same time, his heart seemed to become clearer and clearer, and he saw a bright road leading to his dream.

※※※

It is about the focus of this season's Bundesliga championship match. The relationship between the players on both sides of the game seems to have reached a freezing point. Even the national team teammates have no communication, not even a glance.

The importance of the game is needless to say. Compared with the uneasy Bayern fans, Dortmund fans are much more confident.

The Dortmund players who came to the stadium to warm up also showed a good competitive state, which gave the fans a lot of confidence.

If it is the most worrying part of the team, I believe that fans who know the ball know that the goalkeeper is a very special position, and a little carelessness may bring the team to the end.

However, judging from the warm-up situation, Yan Junling is in very good condition.

Although it can't be said how amazing it is, at least it can make people feel relieved and don't have to worry about it anymore.

In addition, the captain Tang Zheng's competitive state is very good. From the warm-up to passing the ball to the shot attempt, the state shown is so amazing that the Dortmund fans at the Westfalen Stadium can't help bursting into cheers Voice.

In the diehard stand, that is, the South Stand, the fans sang the familiar Song of Tang

As Bayern's nemesis, Tang Zheng is the root of Dortmund's defeat of Bayern, and it is also the hope.

Thinking of the past three seasons, Tang Zheng played an important role in the rise of Dortmund, so... even louder singing sounded from the stands.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was less than half an hour before the start of the game, and the commentators in the on-site commentary had already got the starting lists of both sides.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern, who sit at home, presented the strongest lineups they can currently use. The starting list given by Dortmund is almost exactly the same as most media guesses. Weidenfeller of the race.

The four defenders are Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek. The double defensive midfielder is not a regular partner in the second half, but Tang Zheng's partner Gundogan. The three forwards are Grosk. Reutz, Gotze and Reus, Lewandowski at the top.

For Bayern Munich, goalkeeper Neuer, four defenders Rafinha, Boateng, Van Buyten and Lahm, double defensive midfielders are Harvey Martinez and Schweinsteiger, three forwards are Robben, Thomas Muller and Ribery, Gomez as the center.

In the locker room of the home team, the players in Dortmund's 18-man roster are very relaxed. The same is true for the head coach Klopp. He sits on a comfortable sofa, crosses his legs comfortably, and watches his disciples carefully organize their personal images.

The German national derby is a game related to the team's league championship, and it is also a time for players to show their abilities.

According to the analysis of scientists, a good personal image is beneficial to their performance on the court.

As one of the four most beautiful men in Dortmund, Tang Zheng was also very concerned about his personal image, he squeezed the hairspray and rubbed it on his head over and over again.

Schmelzer and Yan Junling, who had never cared about their personal image, seemed to be influenced by Tang Zheng. They looked at the mirror in the dressing room and arranged their hairstyles, which were not much better than a bird's nest.

In Tang Zheng's words: You don't even care about your hairstyle? Do you still care about the competition?

Not long after, the head coach Klopp coughed lightly, and the players who finished sorting out their personal images focused on Klopp.

Yan Junling, who represented Dortmund in an official game for the second time, sat upright, like a student who is listening to the class seriously.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room seemed a bit weird, and there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable depression in the air.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. In the past two or three days, they have received too many doubts and criticisms.

Logically speaking, the team that advanced to the Champions League final this season should be Bayern Munich instead of Real Madrid.

The big score of 4:1 at home has inflated the confidence of many players in the team, especially seeing Dortmund beat the former Cosmos Barcelona 3:0 in the away game, Bayern players will try their best to score a higher score.

However, the result was cruel...

Dortmund was 0:3, with the home team in front and the visiting team behind.

Although Bayern's game was also 3:0, the home team was in front and the visiting team Bayern was behind.

The absolute advantage that they finally gained at home was wasted at the Bernabéu, and even became the laughing stock of the whole of Europe.

What's more terrible is that at this time, they have to prepare for the away game against Dortmund, a game where they will lose the league championship if they make a mistake.

The overall morale is sluggish, and the head coach Heynckes has nothing to do. He doesn't want the team to change the history of humiliation and beat Dortmund in the away game. He only needs to remain unbeaten in the away game.

After all, with three rounds left in the league, they still lead Dortmund by two points. As long as the next game does not lose, it is only a matter of time before Bayern wins the league championship.

The script has been written, whether the process can follow the plot depends on the hard work of the players on the field.

Just when Heynckes didn't know how to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players, captain Lahm stood up from his seat as if making up his mind...

※※※

The on-site director switched the camera to the player channel. Players from both sides appeared in the camera one after another. The substitute players did not stop and directly entered the field. The starting players lined up behind their respective captains, waiting to play.

Since the result of the game is crucial to the league championship of the two teams this season, even if there are many national team teammates on both sides, there is no communication, so they don't look sideways.

As in the past, Tang Zheng gave each teammate a hug and encouragement.

When it was the turn of compatriot Yan Junling, he added: You will always be the best.

Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, saw this scene, and said with a smile: It seems that the compatriots are the most important in Tang Zheng's mind, and he especially told Yan Junling.

Immediately, Tang Zheng returned to the front of the team, listening to the deafening cheers from the scene, waiting to enter.

About half a minute later, the German Golden Whistle Blüch led the two teams into the stadium.

Aww-

In an instant, even louder cheers sounded from the Westfalenstadion.

At the same time, the fans in the South Stand raised the mosaic boards and huge posters prepared in their hands.

Mosaic boards smashed into a salad plate, symbolizing the Bundesliga championship.

The huge poster is more interesting, with the animation version of Bayern executives wearing the Bayern jersey holding the animation version of Tang Zheng's right foot begging for mercy as the background, there is a group of German words on the lower edge of the poster, to the effect: self-inflicted crimes cannot live, the champions are ours !

Tang Zheng, who was wearing the captain's armband on his left arm, saw this from the corner of his eye and grinned, very satisfied with what the diehard fans did.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shook his head and said: The home fans are really enthusiastic. I think the Bayern fans who saw this scene must be blown up, I'm sure.

But this is not wrong. Bayern's performance in the middle of the week is really regrettable. They were overthrown by Real Madrid with a three-goal difference.

Dortmund is different. Except for the ups and downs in the early stages of the Bundesliga this season, the performance in the second half of the season is very stable.

Fifteen consecutive victories in the league, the only team in the Champions League without a loss, even in the semi-finals of the Champions League gave Barcelona the biggest humiliating score since the team was founded 114 years ago.

With such a huge contrast, it is no wonder that Dortmund fans are making trouble.

Besides, isn't it normal for this kind of highly targeted ridicule in a major derby match?

Otherwise, what is home field advantage?

Bayern's starting XI naturally also saw the targeted TIFO show in the south stand of the Westphalon Stadium, but they have nowhere to vent now. After all, the results are in front of them. Denying cannot change the reality. Defeating Dortmund in the next 90 minutes of the game completely blocked the disgusting face of Dortmund fans.

The atmosphere at the scene was very frenzied, Tang Zheng and Lahm came to the referee Blüch to challenge.

In terms of choice, Tang Zheng followed his feelings, so he got his wish and lost the right to pick the side and won the right to kick off.

Why do you say you got your wish?

Because this is the Westfalenstadion, it doesn't matter which half of the field it is.

Of course, Lahm's choice is also very helpless. It is the same in any half of the away game.

If you perform well, you will be booed by the home fans, and if you perform poorly, you will also be booed.

Dortmund won the kick-off, and the head coach Klopp was a little nervous standing in the command area. He was looking forward to the team's first attack.

Currently behind Bayern by two points, there are still three games in the league including this round. If you want to win the championship, you must beat Bayern, otherwise it is meaningless.

Whether they can open the door to victory at home depends on the offense.

Considering the diversification of offense and the stability of his heels, Klopp did not let Tang Zheng play in the midfielder, but unexpectedly appeared in the midfielder position, partnering with Gundogan.

What I have to mention is that Klopp's choice surprised Heynckes. He let Kroos sit on the bench purely to strengthen the defense of the midfielder, so as to increase the strength of defending Tang Zheng.

The results of it?

Tang Zheng unexpectedly hit the midfielder, which means that Heynckes' pre-match arrangements had to be overthrown and restarted.

Tang Zheng playing as a defensive midfielder is no different than playing as a midfielder. His position is deeper, and there will be many opportunities to handle the ball. It is obviously inappropriate to mark the midfielder as a defensive midfielder.

But Qian Wei stared at him, and it always felt unreassuring.

The position is different, the style of playing is also different.

How can an offensive player do the job of a defensive player well?

beep~

At this moment, Blüsch blew his whistle, announcing the official start of the 32nd round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season!

Lewandowski handed the ball to Royce, and the latter handed it to Tang Zheng, who was outside the center circle.

In the other half, the Bayern players Gomez, Robben and Ribery descended like tigers, crossed the center line, and rushed towards Tang Zheng...
