Midfielder Ruler

The Chinese team defeated Lebanon 1-0 at the Changsha Helong Sports Center at home, and scored an astonishing eleven points after six games.

Although the group points lead is only one point, under the rule that the top two in the group qualify directly, even one point is very important!

However, at this time, "Sports Weekly" talked about the three games of the Chinese team.

The first was last year's World Cup qualifier against South Korea at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, the second was a 1:2 away loss to Australia, and the third was the just-concluded World Cup qualifier at the Helong Sports Center.

During the three games, Tang Zheng expressed his dissatisfaction with head coach Camacho in two ways.

At the regular press conference after the game, Lebanese coach Rust Emeler expressed regret for the loss of the game. The Chinese team's defensive halftime once gave him hope of an equalizer.

But Tang Zheng's performance was really outstanding, and he tried his best to turn the tide.

Not to mention the goal breaking the situation, the defensive end has appeared in key defensive positions many times.

The Chinese reporters who came to the regular post-match press conference of the visiting team were very excited. Rust Aimler's direct praise of Tang Zheng was tantamount to smearing their faces.

Rust Emiler was not wrong or exaggerated. The media and fans reviewed the six group matches of the Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten matches that the Chinese team participated in. They found that all seven goals scored by the Chinese team came from Tang Zheng.

Players such as Gao Lin, Yang Xu, and Yu Chao who performed well in the warm-up match made people shine, but once it came to the crucial World Cup qualifiers, their tacit understanding collectively misfired, and only Tang Zheng, a big-time player, stepped forward repeatedly.

Many Chinese and foreign media said that if the Chinese team did not have Tang Zhengcun, they would have been eliminated early.

Why?

The data speaks for itself.

When it was the home team's turn to participate in the regular post-match press conference, there were also some clues. It was not Tang Zheng who was the best player in the game, but the captain Zheng Zhi who followed the head coach Camacho.

In addition, head coach Camacho deliberately avoided talking about Tang Zheng in the media.

Relating to Tang Zheng's "possibility to score more goals" in an interview with the domestic media in the mixed zone after the game, the domestic media reports on the second day almost all revolved around the "China team's qualifying crisis".

The Chinese team is currently ranked first in the group, yes,

But an internal crisis is enough to affect the final qualifying situation of the Chinese team.

Tang Zheng, who returned to Dortmund to prepare for the first round of the league match and the quarter-finals of the Champions League, has always been ambiguous in his interviews with the domestic media, which always gives people a feeling of imagination.

The Chinese team will have a bye in the next round. Once Australia and South Korea win both games, the Chinese team is likely to fall from the first place in the group to the third place in the group.

Thinking of the Chinese fans here are all depressed, so the media and fans slowly divided into two groups over time.

Some people think that Camacho's tactics are indeed too conservative and not suitable for the current Chinese team, and some people think that Tang Zheng's temper has returned as his fame has grown.

Xu Wei, a reporter from "Sports Weekly" who had a good relationship with Tang Zheng in private, asked Tang Zheng if something happened with the head coach Camacho.

To this, Tang Zheng just gave a meaningful smile.

In fact, there is no such thing as Tang Zheng, and there are many media in China who are quite critical of head coach Camacho's tactics.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's full state, scoring all the goals in the national team's official game, how could the Chinese team rank first in the group?

If you don't come to the bottom, you will be honored by your ancestors.

Chinese domestic media conducted various analyzes on whether Tang Zheng and national team head coach Camacho had conflicts, but Tang Zheng's attention had already shifted to the upcoming first round of the Bundesliga and Champions League quarter-finals.

After all, the Chinese team has a bye in the next round of the group stage, and the remaining two games are very humane, and they are scheduled to be played after the European League ends.

In fact, the conflict between Tang Zheng and Camacho is not that big, but there is some disagreement on the rational arrangement of tactics. Tang Zheng thinks that in many games, the game should be bolder. Maggio's enhanced defensive tactics were counterproductive, causing the team to lose the ball in the end.

The same is true for the World Cup qualifier against Lebanon at home. He could have scored more goals to seal the victory, but Camacho just gave up his offense and chose to strengthen his defense.

Fortunately, there was no draw in the end, otherwise something might happen.

Closer to home, after returning to Dortmund, Tang Zheng's focus automatically shifted to the Bundesliga and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

There were three injuries in Dortmund on this international match day. Kuba, Subotic and Sven Bender were all injured to varying degrees while representing their respective national teams in the World Cup qualifiers.

The luck in the misfortune is that the injuries are not serious, they are all ordinary muscle injuries, and only need a simple rest.

The Dortmund team is undergoing recovery training at the Stobelari Training Center.

As the defending champions of the Bundesliga, they contributed a considerable number of international players. Among the regular starters, except for goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who did not get the chance to play, players in other positions all got the chance to play in the World Cup qualifiers.

In the second half of the league, it is no longer a matter of testing the ability of the players, but the physical recovery of the players should be more concerned.

Physical fitness is the basis of football games. Without physical fitness, even a player with the strength of the world champion cannot help the team win the game.

This situation is more obvious in the Premier League. The giant teams that are often on international match days will be crushed by the mid-lower teams.

Why?

Is it because of physical fitness?

The Premier League is the fastest-paced league in the world. Coupled with the long journey brought about by the international match day, one can imagine what the giants have experienced.

At the weekend, Dortmund traveled to Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, to challenge Stuttgart.

The game, the Chinese media and Japanese media are particularly concerned.

Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, while Stuttgart has a Japanese international, Shinji Okazaki.

Since joining Stuttgart in early 2011, Okazaki Shinji has gradually gained a stable chance to play in Stuttgart. Due to various reasons in the past, Tang Zheng and Okazaki Shinji have never been able to compete together.

Both of them are confirmed to start this time. As representatives of Asian football, they naturally attracted the attention of the media of the two countries.

Even many Asian media have expressed concern about this and made targeted reports on it.

Of course, Tang Zheng's performance has always been stable, and he has been favored by many media.

Among these Asian media, there are still many Japanese media who are optimistic about Tang Zheng.

Before the international match, Dortmund had won ten consecutive victories. Tang Zheng had made outstanding contributions in these ten games, with four goals and seven assists.

As a striker, Shinji Okazaki has only contributed two goals and one assist in the past ten games.

Compared with Tang Zheng, there is really too much difference, no wonder some Japanese media are more optimistic about Tang Zheng's performance.

The process and results of the competition also verified that Tang Zheng's overall strength was an entire nine streets ahead of Shinji Okazaki.

During the game, Shinji Okazaki was obviously influenced by public opinion, he tried to find Tang Zheng deliberately after he got the ball.

Facing Tang Zheng who was in full condition, the result can be imagined.

Dortmund's goal came from Shinji Okazaki's unsuccessful breakthrough. After Tang Zheng stole the ball, he directly passed a long pass to attack the left side. Gross Kreutz inserted at high speed, and then moved in a wide range. Ski feinted and Royce scored from the far end.

The on-site director also specially gave Okazaki Shinji and Tang Zheng a close-up shot.

It is clear at a glance which of the two Asian players is strong and which is weak.

In the second half, Tang Zheng also scored an iconic long-range shot, helping Dortmund lead Stuttgart 2-0 away.

If it weren't for the central defender Santana to send points during stoppage time, Dortmund is likely to take away a complete victory at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Borussia Dortmund defeated Stuttgart 2:1 away and climbed to the top of the league table with one more game.

However, Dortmund, as in the past, did not sit at the top of the standings for too long.

Four hours later, Bayern Munich reached the top again.

It is worth mentioning that Bayern and Hamburg, who sit at the Allianz Arena, played a super high score.

9:2

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Veteran Pizarro scored four goals, Robben scored twice, and Shaqiri, Schweinsteiger and Ribery each scored a goal.

Showing such a state at the end of the league somewhat worried the media in North Rhine-Westphalia.

If Bayern Munich's state continues until the end of the season, and Dortmund has no way to beat Bayern Munich in the second round of the German national derby in the 2012-2013 season, then Dortmund will most likely miss the three consecutive league championships by two points.

Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg 9:2 at home. They created the record for the most goals scored in an official game since the new century.

The creator of the last record is also from Bayern Munich, who beat Freiburg 7-0 at home last season.

The Peruvian veteran Pizarro, who staged a big four, refreshed his scoring data with four goals in a single game, and also ranked tenth in the Bundesliga's historical scorer list.

In fact, it is not Dortmund who is most worried about Bayern at this time, but the opponents Juventus, who are about to usher in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the middle of the week.

none of them.

Bayern Munich's return to the top of the league table did not exceed the expectations of the Borussia Dortmund team.

Leaving aside Bayern's performance this season has been very strong, just sitting at the Allianz Arena already has an advantage, coupled with the fact that Hamburg's performance this season is not satisfactory, it is surprising that they scored a big score.

At this time, the South Korean media felt very depressed. Sun Xingmin, as the starter of Hamburg, may have nothing to do with him conceding the ball, but his lack of scoring skills has a direct relationship with him.

The responsibility of a striker is to score goals. A striker who does not score a goal often suffers endless abuse.

In particular, Hamburg lost a 2:9 to Bayern as a guest, which will somewhat make the local media in Hamburg quite critical.

Tang Zheng only paid a little attention to the disparity in the score of this game, and did not pay too much attention to the public doubts Sun Xingmin suffered. All his attention is now on the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at the Rose Garden Stadium in the middle of next week. The first round of the contest.

Last season's Champions League quarter-finals first leg missed the crucial home game against Barcelona due to a suspension of accumulative yellow cards. Tang Zheng has learned enough lessons this season. He has only received one yellow card in the last eight games of the Champions League.

Of course, this has something to do with the position he is playing now.

The positions of the defensive midfielders are basically rotated between Pirlo, Sven Bender, Gundogan and Kyle. Tang Zheng is more often played as a central midfielder or a midfielder.

The eight teams that have advanced to the UEFA Champions League this season have entered the preparations for the UEFA Champions League, and the focus of mainstream European media has shifted to the upcoming knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.

German media and Chinese media helped Dortmund analyze its opponent Malaga. It is the first time in history that Malaga participated in the Champions League this season, and Dortmund, which has entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, has a great advantage.

Malaga's historic entry into the quarter-finals of the Champions League is directly related to their midfielder Isco.

The winner of the European Golden Boy Award in 2012 had an eye-catching performance, so many European media said that the contest between the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season is a contest between the Golden Boys.

Gotze won the European Golden Boy Award in 2011, and Tang Zheng also won the European Golden Boy Award in 2009, which means Dortmund has two golden boys.

Almost no one can calculate the arithmetic of 1+1, so the German media and Chinese media are not worried about Dortmund's promotion path.

Besides, Tang Zheng's recent form is hot, so he might show his might again in the Champions League, just like the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals this season.

Some media talked about Dortmund's performance in the first round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals this season, and it is easy to think of Tang Zheng, who went into battle with an illness, scored twice.

Could it be that a healthy Tang Zheng can't compare to Tang Zheng who is suffering from a high fever?

Facing the poisonous milk from the media, Tang Zheng chose to turn a deaf ear to it.

As an experienced football player, he should not hear anything outside the field before the game, otherwise it is likely to affect the next key battle.

Dortmund's 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg match at Rose Garden Stadium was held on Wednesday local time in Europe. The whole team flew to Malaga at noon on Tuesday and then adapted to the venue in the afternoon.

Tang Zheng circled the Rose Garden Stadium in place, shaking his head.

The stadium is small, only able to accommodate 30,000 fans, which is smaller than many Bundesliga stadiums.

But in many cases, a small stadium has the advantage of a small stadium. It is this stadium that Malaga has historically advanced to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

After an hour of adapting to the venue, Tang Zheng followed the head coach Klopp to the press conference hall of the stadium to accept routine interviews with media reporters before the match.

At 8:45 that night, the first round of the two UEFA Champions League quarter-finals began as scheduled.

Paris Saint-Germain hosts Barcelona and Bayern Munich hosts Juventus.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Paris Saint-Germain drew 2:2 with Barcelona at home, while Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena defeated Juventus 2:0.

Tang Zheng watched Bayern Munich's home game against Juventus on live TV, and he was full of worries about the future Clasico...
