Dortmund's 5:0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Westphalia 1un Stadium did not satisfy the media, because the victory in this game came from home, and Dortmund's poor results this season came from away games.

Therefore, Dortmund's challenge to Manchester City in the second round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week is considered a challenge.

In the past six rounds of the Bundesliga in the 2o12-2o13 season, Bayern Munich ranked in the league table with 18 points in six games, and Dortmund ranked third in the league with 11 points in six games, three wins, two draws and one loss.

However, Dortmund is already seven points away from Bayern Munich in the rankings. Judging from the current situation, the probability of Bayern Munich making mistakes is very low. It is somewhat difficult for Dortmund to achieve three consecutive league titles.

However, as the Champions League match day approaches, the focus of the German media has also shifted to the mid-week Champions League match.

The three teams representing the Bundesliga performed well in the round of the group stage. Bayern beat Valencia 2:1 at home, Schalke beat Olympiakos 2:1 away at O4, and Dortmund beat Ajax 1:0 at home.

In this campaign, the three teams representing the Bundesliga, except Dortmund, will face the terror of the death group. The opponents Schalke O4 and Bayern Munich are not strong, especially Bayern will challenge Borisov in the away game. .

Reminiscent of Bayern's eight consecutive victories in all competitions since the league, even if they are a guest in Borisov, Belarus, it is not a problem, after all, the opponent is recognized as a big team.

But... an accident happened.

As a guest, Bayern Munich lost 1:3 to Borisov. It is worth mentioning that Ribery and Kroos each hit the post with a shot.

Borisov's home defeat against Bayern quickly became the biggest upset in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2o12-2o13 season, while other strong teams that played that day won one after another.

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke o4 are on the second match day for the team from the Ruhr area.

In the 2012-2013 season, the British League and the Bundesliga have also passed the past six rounds. The defending champion Manchester City started the new season in a mediocre way, with six games, three wins and three draws, accumulating 12 points, ranking fourth in the league, scoring 12 goals, and averaging 2 goals per game.

At the same time, the defense conceded eight goals, which is considered the team with the most conceded goals in the first group.

Dortmund conceded the same number of goals in six rounds as Manchester City, but scored more goals, scoring 16 goals.

In the just-concluded league, they beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 5:0 at home, while Manchester City only beat West Ham 2:1.

Of course, these data cannot represent the future process and results of the game, and can only be used as a reference.

In the routine press conference before the game, the head coaches of both sides were full of confidence in the upcoming group stage.

Klopp said that it is impossible to bring the poor league away results to the Champions League. At the same time, he said that the atmosphere in the team is good, so the winning team at the Etihad Stadium will be Dortmund!

Mancini, the head coach of the home team Manchester City, is also full of confidence in the next home game. They still remain unbeaten at home this season. In the eighteenth round of the 2o1o-2o11 season, they lost to Everton 1:2 at home.

Manchester City has been unbeaten in 33 league games at the Etihad Stadium. How could it be possible to lose at home?

Moreover, Dortmund's poor away record this season, conceding six goals in the last two away games, Mancini has enough reasons to believe that Manchester City will win Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium!

Balotelli, who was thinking about life in the European Cup this summer, said in an interview with the media: "With Dortmund's defense, I can score three goals in a single game!"

The pre-match atmosphere between the two sides was quite good, but Balotelli's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Dortmund's main defender Hummels. He said: "Three goals? I think one goal is enough!"

Transcripted by the media, Balotelli responded on Twitter: "Shut up! Only complainers."

In the World Cup qualifiers on the last international match day, Germany narrowly beat Austria 2:1 at home. After the game, Hummels expressed his dissatisfaction with the captain Lahm. After the game, he was beaten by the team leader Bierhoff.

So Balotelli's words are tantamount to exposing scars.

Hummels is not a good stubble either. On his personal social network Twitter, he reposted Balotelli's thinking about life in the European Cup group match against Spain.

So, a good show was staged.

Manchester City's 2:3 loss to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu is equivalent to saying that they have a bad start to the Champions League in the new season. If they fail to win the next home group match, it will be unfavorable for the third and fourth rounds of home and away group matches.

The head coach Mancini understands this, and the fans naturally understand this, so the atmosphere of the second round focus match of Group D of the UEFA Champions League in the 2o12-2o13 season at the Etihad Stadium was very enthusiastic, and the visiting Dortmund players were warmly welcomed.

Of course, enthusiasm is to be put in double quotation marks. The home fans are not so enthusiastic. They started from the warm-up of Dortmund players entering the field and did not stop until they returned to the locker room to prepare.

In the locker room of the visiting team, head coach Klopp gave a very serious lecture: "Except for the away game against Oberniland in the German Cup this season, we have not won an away game in the league. I think everyone has also felt great pressure these days. The best way to shut up An Xie's swaying media is to win! Manchester City is under more pressure than us. They lost to Real Madrid in rounds, but we won at home..."

At the same time, Mancini is also doing the final mobilization, inciting the emotions of the players: "...As I said in the regular press conference before the game, we have remained unbeaten in the past 33 home games, Twenty-six of those games were victories, Dortmund have had a tough time away from home and they definitely want to score points at home, so this is our chance."

Speaking of which, Mancini's attention was on David Silva and Aguero: "David, Sergio."

Mancini explained the tactics above, and Balotelli shook his head and sneered below. He thought that the head coach of this crucial battle would send him to play, but he was still on the substitute list.

unlucky!

Yesterday he had a "hot fight" with Hummels on the social networking site, but today he played as a substitute, which made him somewhat uncomfortable, so he secretly cursed that the team conceded the first goal, and then Mancini would think of himself...

In a blink of an eye, the players in the locker rooms of both sides of the game were reminded by UEFA staff that they should go to the player channel and wait to play.

The UEFA Champions League group match between Dortmund and Manchester City kicked off on time at 8:45 p.m. local time on October 3rd in Europe. The referee on duty was the famous Italian referee Rizzoli.

With Rizzoli's whistle, the 2o12-2o13 UEFA Champions League Group D battle started.

Central 5 commentator He Weifang gave a standard line: "CCTV, CCTV, the game you are watching now is the second round of the 2o12-2o13 UEFA Champions League Group D round. Dortmund..."

In this game, the two sides sent the current strongest lineup.

Home team goalkeeper Joe Hart, back four Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic and Clichy.

Midfielders Javi Garcia, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Nasri, with Aguero and Dzeko up front.

Although the official formation submitted by Manchester City is 442, it looks more like 4231 which is quite popular in international football from the position after the start of the game. Yaya Toure and Xavi Garcia partner double queens Waist, David Silva is in the center, Nasri and Aguero are on the left and right, and Dzeko is at the front.

Dortmund continues to use a four-two-three formation, goalkeeper Weidenfeller, four defenders Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek, the double midfielders are Tang Zheng and Gundogan, Ge Ce is in the center, Royce and Kuba are on the left and right, and Lewandowski is at the forefront.

Manchester City's first attack in the frontcourt, as soon as the football reached David Silva's feet, Tang Zheng threw it out.

David Silva is the kind of player who works very finely on his feet, and has a strong vision and ability to read the game, and he plays very quickly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed an opponent player wearing a yellow jersey rushing over, and quickly kicked the ball back.

Tang Zheng didn't have time to brake, and directly bumped into David Silva, the referee Rizzoli's whistle sounded, but Tang Zheng was not given a yellow card, not even a warning.

Manchester City captain Kompany was dissatisfied. He appealed forward, but the result was also unsatisfactory.

David Silva, who was knocked to the ground by Tang Zheng, spit out the grass clippings in his mouth, rubbed his aching right arm, and looked at Tang Zheng.

Just in time, Tang Zheng raised a wicked smile and looked at David Silva.

David Silva frowned, he knew that this game would not be easy.

At the same time, British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray commented on the second confrontation between Tang Zheng and David Silva: "If I guess correctly, Tang's foul this time has a very strong mental deterrent effect. , in this game, he will face David Silva directly in the position of the defensive midfielder."

"In the past 2o11-2o12 season, David Silva was the English assist king, and Don was the Bundesliga assist king." Guest commentator Martin Taylor continued: "In a sense, who performed better in this game? , whose team has a better chance of winning.”

Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "In less than a minute of the game, Tang Zheng used a foul to disrupt an attack of Manchester City, but I always feel that this foul is a bit unnecessary."

As soon as the voice fell, the guest commentator Xu Yang said: "From the perspective of defense, it is indeed unnecessary, but from the perspective of tactical suppression, it is very necessary. The effect Tang Zheng wants to achieve is to tell David Silva, If you want to find a breakthrough from me, there is no door!"

"David Silva was the English assist leader last season. Manchester City's offense was basically started by him. Tang Zheng's doing so is reasonable. Dortmund's recent away results have not been satisfactory. They want to play in the Ittiha The German stadium takes away points, and the first solution is defense!"
