Hannover 96 are newly promoted in the Bundesliga, but it does not mean that they will not pose a threat to Dortmund. Klopp reminded the players not to underestimate the enemy more than once during the run-in training, and the away game must be taken seriously. http://www.lnwow.net Pinshu
The team members naturally nodded repeatedly, and so did Tang Zheng.
Dortmund is only more than 200 kilometers away from Hannover. It only takes two hours to drive, and it is faster to take a train. Therefore, the afternoon before the game, the Dortmund team took the train to Hannover to prepare for the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season at the AWD Arena on the second day. The sixth round of the league.
Before boarding the bus to the train station, Tang Zheng sent a text message to Zhao Lina: First of all, I would like to say a sincere 'Happy Birthday' to you, and secondly, I want to apologize to you, as one of your two good friends in Germany, please forgive me I couldn't attend your coming-of-age ceremony, so I hope you like this small gift, by the way...don't forget to work hard! For this dream!
After the message was sent, Tang Zheng took out the MP3 earphones from his bag and plugged them into his ears, listening to lyrical music, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
However, what Tang Zheng didn't expect was that Zhao Lina from Frankfurt was moved to tears by his small gift...
Even He Mengdi couldn't control her tears, she was so touched.
In fact, the gift Tang Zheng gave was not something particularly expensive, but a very ordinary postcard with a message.
Of course, Zhao Lina and He Mengdi would not be moved so much if it was just an ordinary postcard message. What moved them was the words written in the message.
The handwriting on the postcard that Zhao Lina held on her chest was ugly, and it could even be said that the handwriting written by elementary school students was as beautiful as Tang Zheng's handwriting, but this is not important, what is important is the meaning inside.
It read: The first time I heard you say that your childhood dream was actually to hold a concert of your own at the Hongkou Football Stadium. In order to express the great regret of not being able to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, I hereby solemnly promise that as long as you want to hold a concert in Hongkou someday The football stadium holds a concert of its own, and I will do everything.
It was signed by Tang Zhengli on September 18, 2009.
This day happened to be Zhao Lina's eighteenth birthday, a coming-of-age ceremony.
It's not so much an "IOU" as a promise.
Tang Zheng was careless, with a low EQ, maybe he didn't think about men and women, but girls were different, they were precocious and prone to overthinking, or...she was willing to think that way.
An eighteen-year-old gift is a promise to realize a dream.
※※※
Just as Zhao Lina thought, Tang Zheng didn't think in the direction of men and women, he just wanted to express his apology.
Otherwise, I wouldn't calmly close my eyes and recharge my batteries after sending a text message.
Because the coming-of-age ceremony only happens once in a lifetime, as one of Zhao Lina's two friends in Germany, this is a great regret, and there is no way to make up for it forever.
Tang Zheng had also been eighteen years old, and he knew that regrets in his heart would never be healed.
So this gift is not expensive.

Dortmund challenged Hannover 96 at the AWD Arena. Both the media and the fans believed that Dortmund could easily win the away game, but the result was very surprising. They led for nearly 90 minutes but suffered a lore.
1:1
The two sides fought to a draw, and Dortmund had two consecutive draws in the league.
After the game, Klopp, who was interviewed by the media, did not blame the players, but took the initiative to take responsibility.
But when he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he cursed fiercely. He had given important instructions before the game.
It's all right now, the three points in the plan have become one point, and it's hard not to get angry.
The player who made the mistake knew that he was indeed relaxed at the end of the game, which allowed the home team to take the opportunity to tie the score, so he did not refute.
Of course, they still didn't dare to refute, including the well-behaved Tang Zheng.
Returning to Dortmund, the team is preparing for the second round of the German Cup in Karlsruhe.
However, considering that Karlsruhe is a second-tier team, Klopp doesn't particularly care about it. He is already formulating corresponding skills and tactics around the next round of the league against Schalke 04 at home.
The German Cup is more used to train substitutes and youth team players, but Tang Zheng, who is indispensable to Dortmund's future main frame, has no rotation, and he needs more games to adapt to the team's style of play and the habits of his teammates.
For example, in the away game against Hannover 96, if Tang Zheng and his teammates cooperated well enough, then the draw would not happen, because Dortmund killed the match early.
With the accident in Hannover on the weekend, Dortmund, who was a guest in Karlsruhe in this campaign, did not have any accidents. They beat the home team 3-0 away and advanced to the next round, which is also the top 16.
At the end of the second round of the German Cup, the German media and mainstream European media focused their attention on North Rhine-Westphalia.
This weekend, there will be a thrilling Ruhr at the Westfalenstadion.
Borussia Dortmund hosts Schalke 04.
It can be called virtue, and it is often not low in popularity.
Like the Argentine national virtues and German national virtues that Tang Zheng experienced in the past, but the German national virtues are much inferior to the Argentine national virtues.
After all, in the eyes of most fans, the current Dortmund has not yet reached the level of Bayern Munich, and there is nothing comparable in terms of fame or strength, so the national virtue is just a public opinion deliberately created by the media.
Dortmund and Schalke 04 are different. First of all, they are both located in the Ruhr industrial zone, which is an important part of Germany's economic take-off. The distance between the two places is only 40 kilometers.
Moreover, the fans of the two teams are all miners or miners' descendants, so neither side accepts each other. Well, in the 1996-1997 season, Schalke 04 just won the UEFA Cup, but a week later, Dortmund defeated Jutus and won the even more Influential European Champions Cup champion.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, which describes the two teams in the Ruhr area.
In fact, the source of hatred between the two teams comes from different classes.
Schalke 04 is a typical "coal mine team". Back then, some people in the Ruhr area even proudly called Schalke 04 the German Ruhr Coal Miners Team, so in the hearts of Schalke 04 fans, only Schalke 04 They are pure blood of Ruhr coal miners. They are simple, diligent, tolerant, and positive, representing the bottom of the miners.
Dortmund, the new trading center in the east of the Ruhr area, was a gathering place for a group of bankers and trading merchants from Munich.
In the age of great industry, these Dortmunds who settled later were called "blood-sucking worms" by the people of Gelsenkirchen. They not only squeezed out the value of every piece of hard coal, but also peeled off a layer of their skin.
Therefore, in the traditional eyes of the Gelsenkirchen people, the Dortmund people are frivolous and insufficiently settled traders, and they are not qualified to represent the Ruhr area at all.
Even to the eyes of the older generation of Gelsenkirchen, the Dortmund figures are like impurities in hard coal.
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of living standards, the concept of globalization caused by this class difference has been preserved and cannot be changed.
Due to the class and cultural conflicts derived from regions, this phenomenon has been infinitely magnified in special fields, especially the world's number one sport-football.
A few days before preparing for the home game against Schalke 04, the captain Dede and the vice-captain respectively instilled the meaning of this virtue into the new players.
To put it simply, this match is a match that cannot be lost, just like the Argentine National Germany that Tang Zheng participated in in the past.
But Tang Zheng knows that the conflicts derived from class and culture are more popular in Argentina, because what River Plate and Boca Youth have is only class conflicts, not culture conflicts.
Thinking of the fiery Ruhr, Tang Zheng felt more and more excited, wishing that the horse race would come.
※※※
The Ruhr district does not need the media to deliberately guide it at all. The players and fans of both sides will compete in the air.
The second round of the German Cup between Dortmund and Schalke 04 is over, and they have their own fans attacking each other's official station.
Therefore, in the past two days in the Ruhr area, the officials of Dortmund and Schalke 04 were not able to visit normally, or what they saw when they visited was the team logo of the other party.
Tang Zheng, as Dortmund's biggest signing this season, is the target of Schalke 04 fans.
Because the media suddenly broke the news that Schalke 04 sports director Helter had contacted Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng's agent Rodrigo thought Schalke 04 was not good enough, so Schalke 04 fans who knew the reason were very excited. Displeased, they thought Tang Zheng was not qualified to join Schalke at all.
Still disgusted?
Get out!
Tang Zheng was very innocent, he didn't want to join the war of words, but was forced to join the war of words.
His Twitter account verified in Dortmund encountered many insults and even death threats from Schalke 04 fans who were brainless.
In this regard, when he was interviewed by the media, he first expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the behavior of Schalke 04 fans, and then expressed his strong desire to win against Ruhr.
Dortmund fans saw Schalke 04 fans bullying Tang Zheng, how could they ignore it?
Schalke 04 captain Rakiti has always wanted to leave Schalke 04, so he became a breakthrough for Dortmund fans, deliberately creating that Rakiti left Schalke 04 to join the great Dortmund.
Rakiti, who can shoot while lying down, seems very helpless, but he really wants to leave Schalke 04...
And Dortmund also mentioned the penultimate round of the 2006-2007 season. At that time, Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 in an away game, which made them miss the league championship.
Last summer, Dortmund fans even held a special fiftieth anniversary for Schalke 04.
However, this anniversary is not a serious anniversary, but a celebration of Schalke 04's failure to win the Bundesliga championship for 50 years.
So many Schalke 04 fans are very upset, especially the older generation of Schalke 04 fans who experienced 1997...
It's all tears.
As the distance from the Ruhr area gets closer and closer, the security in the two cities of Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen has been upgraded a lot, and the number of police patrolling the streets has increased significantly. To act out of nature.
In the past, there have been many scenes of fans from both sides fighting in the Ruhr area, and there have even been bloody incidents, so that we can see the popularity of the Ruhr area.
