Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 147 Know shame and be brave?

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, huge cheers erupted above the Westfalen Stadium, and the whole stadium seemed to form a small earthquake at that moment.

The Dortmund players faced the stands and raised their fists, venting the thrill of victory.

Some Porto players who lost the game had their hands on their hips, some covered their faces with their hands, some held their heads, and some simply lay on the grass, looking at the night sky in Germany.

The winner Klopp took the initiative to walk towards Boas and stretched out his right hand: "You played very well."

"You played better." Boas didn't feel bad because of the loss. He reached out to meet him and gave Klopp a hug.

"Next season you guys will be even better!"

"thanks."

The two returned to their respective camps after a few shabby sentences.

Klopp wants to enjoy the joy of victory with the players, and Villas-Boas has to appease his players.

But at this time, Tang Zheng played the role that Boas should play.

Tang Zheng clapped hands and hugged his teammates until he walked in front of Falcao. He extended his right hand towards Falcao who was sitting on the ground, and said with a smile, "Romedal, this is not your style."

Falcao looked up, it was Tang Zheng, the disappointment on his face was instantly replaced by a smile, he stood up facing Tang Zheng's outstretched right hand, and his left hand clenched into a fist towards Tang Zheng's left chest.

"Take it lightly, it will hurt." Tang Zheng looked at Falcao resentfully, and said jokingly, "You don't need to take revenge like this if you lose, right?"

"Hey~" Falcao hugged Tang Zheng on tiptoe, and said seriously: "I will definitely win back next season."

"Let's talk about it when you draw us." Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders habitually, blinking his eyes and said, "But even if we are drawn, you will lose, heh~"

"Then let's wait and see." Falcao stretched out his right hand again to hit Tang Zheng's outstretched right hand.

"Okay!" Tang Zheng went up to greet him: "Waiting for you!"

Tang Zheng turned and walked towards his teammates, and Falcao did the same.

He walked up to national team-mate James Rodriguez and pulled him up from the grass: "James,

You did a great job, don't forget... you're still young and we'll keep working hard next season. "

James Rodriguez looked at Falcao, the big brother of the national team who has been taking good care of him. He nodded firmly and said: "Work hard next season!"

One day later, the 2010-2011 Europa League 1/8 final draw was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Dortmund's draw this season seems to be very unlucky. In the 1/16 finals, they got the leader of the Portuguese Super League this season, and in the 1/8 finals, they got the runner-up of the Russian Super League CSKA Moscow.

The game time is 6:00 pm on March 10th and 8:00 pm on March 17th, European time.

There may be a huge gap between the Russian Super League and the Bundesliga, but there is one thing that must be focused on, and that is the weather in Moscow in March.

Very bad!

After seeing the results of the draw, Klopp immediately checked the weather in Moscow in March, with an average of two degrees Celsius to minus five degrees Celsius.

This is enough to kill!

But it is not without good news for Dortmund. In order to keep up with the rhythm of European competitions, the Russian Super League has changed their league system from a single-year league to a multi-year league.

2010 is the last single-year league since the establishment of the Russian Super League, which ended completely in November last year.

European cross-year competitions have always been from the second half of the year to the first half of the next year, which means that there will be a period of time between November and June or July of the following year.

Obviously, letting the players rest for more than half a year is definitely not enough.

Not to mention that the half-year vacation will bring about a decline in physical function, fans of the Russian Super League will not easily agree.

Therefore, the Russian Football Association regards 2011 as a transitional season. The league still starts in March and ends in November, just like the single-year system in previous years.

When all 30 rounds of the one-year league are over, the 16 teams in the Russian Super League will be divided into two groups, with the top eight entering the championship group and the bottom eight entering the relegation group.

The top two in the championship group will participate in the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League, the third will participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, the fourth and fifth will participate in the Europa League, and the last two in the relegation group will enter the Russian League One.

Regardless of the competition system of the Russian Super League, the new season of the Russian Super League starts on March 13, 2011.

In other words, the first round of the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League 1/8 finals will be played before the start of the new season of the Russian Super League. At that time, the status of CSKA Moscow players will need to be marked with a big question mark.

The two rounds of CSKA Moscow's 1/16 final also showed something. If the Greek team Zaroniki hadn't given an own goal at home, they might not have been able to advance to the top 16 of the Europa League.

Of course, there is still half a month before the Europa League 1/8 finals, and Klopp has no extra thoughts on future games. He now needs to lead the team to prepare for the next two consecutive national derbies.

※※※

In fact, when Dortmund took away two away goals at the Dragon Stadium, many media believed that Dortmund had entered the Europa League round of 16 ahead of schedule.

Therefore, the 2-0 home defeat of Porto did not come as any surprise. The German media and mainstream European media began to divert their attention to Munich, the capital of Bavaria.

Bayern Munich will take on current Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund in four days at the Allianz Arena.

Twenty-three rounds of the league have passed, and Dortmund leads Bayern Munich by 15 points. With 11 rounds left in the league, it means that the defending champion Bayern Munich has basically lost the chance to win the league championship.

There is no absolute in everything. In theory, they still have some chances, but the chances are a little low.

At present, Bayern has entered the top sixteen of the Champions League. They defeated Inter Milan 1-0 away in the first leg of the 1/8 final, and have a great chance to enter the top eight of the Champions League.

Last year's Champions League final was bitter, and this season's league championship is basically hopeless. For coach Van Gaal, it seems to be a more cost-effective choice to focus on the Champions League.

Moreover, there will be a German Cup semi-final contest after the league. Reminiscent of the two sides in another semi-final match, Bayern coach Van Gaal has reason to be more inclined to the German Cup.

Again, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

However, the pressure of public opinion is very unfavorable to Van Gaal. Although Bayern executives expressed their support for Van Gaal when they were interviewed by the media, they turned 180 degrees when the media talked about the successive games against Dortmund, saying that they could not lose again.

On Bayern's official website, there are also many fans leaving messages, hoping that the team can double-kill Dortmund in two home games and revive the peerless style of the Bundesliga giants.

All of this makes it impossible for Van Gaal to choose single or multiple choices, but must choose all.

At 6:30 pm on February 26th local time in Germany, the 24th round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season was held at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich sits at home against Borussia Dortmund, who are currently unbeaten in the league.

The main players of both sides in the game were all out, but Bayern's defense was a little strange. Gustavo and Tymoshchuk, who had been playing midfielders, were placed in the positions of left back and center back respectively.

Schweinsteiger and Planic partnered with double defensive midfielders, using the usual four-two-three-one formation.

Compared with Bayern's strange employment, Dortmund has sent the strongest lineup that can be offered.

Perhaps Van Gaal made a mistake in employing people. In the ninth minute of the game, Dortmund, who was a guest, scored the first goal.

Under Tang Zheng's pressure, Schweinsteiger made a mistake in stopping the ball in the backcourt. Tang Zheng took advantage of his starting position to get stuck and dribbled the ball all the way to the top of the penalty area.

Facing Gustavo's forward defense, Tang Zheng went straight to the right rib immediately, and Barrios then inserted a low shot from the far corner and succeeded.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Immediately, there were boos all over the Allianz Arena.

Marcel Leif, a commentator for Sky Germany, said: "At this moment it is really difficult to understand whether the booing of the home fans is for the away team who scored or the home team for the poor performance."

The camera of the live broadcast showed the serious face of Bayern coach Van Gaal, and there were even louder boos in the sky above the Allianz Arena.

"I think... this is the strong dissatisfaction expressed by Bayern fans towards Van Gaal." Duan Xuan, commentator of Central 5, said: "After the honeymoon period between Bayern fans and Van Gaal last season, the relationship between Bayern fans and Van Gaal has declined sharply this season. Bayern fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Van Gaal at home when his coaching performance was not ideal."

Van Gaal's expression was ugly, but he knew that Bayern fans did nothing wrong. Bayern's performance this season has dropped a lot compared to last season.

Looking at the Dortmund players celebrating the goal, the Bayern stars looked at each other.

Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben felt particularly ashamed. Dortmund took the lead in less than ten minutes of the game, which was directly linked to their sluggish performance.

If they can show amazing form at the Allianz Arena, it should be Bayern Munich who are celebrating goals now...

I don't know if it's because the Bayern Munich players who played at home knew their shame and acted bravely. Gustavo, who joined Bayern this winter, received a corner kick from Ribery in the 16th minute of the game to help the team equalize!

"The goal is scored! The goal is scored!" German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti said excitedly: "Bayern evened the score seven minutes after conceding the goal! I believe they will turn defeat into victory at home!!"

Ribery, who assisted his teammates to score, raised his arms and shouted, because the goal came too timely!

Dortmund's offensive at the Allianz Arena continued unabated. The continuous offensive made Bayern Munich very passive at home. The equalizer in the corner kick formed by the defense turned into an offense is a kind of confidence increase for the team.

You must know that they have already suffered a three-game losing streak against Dortmund in all competitions. If they lose another game, it will be a four-game losing streak.
