Chapter 355 Champions League semi-finals, opponent Barcelona

Dortmund's home game against Malaga in the final stage became the main news reported by the European mainstream media on the second UEFA Champions League match day. Tang Zheng, who was a sky-defying barb clearance and a direct free kick, became a god in the reporter's pen. Dust ↑ Fate ↓ Literature ↙ Literature? Net

The Dortmund team had a half-day holiday on this day and resumed training in the afternoon.

That night, the remaining two UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg contests kicked off at the Nou Camp Stadium and the Juventus Arena respectively.

After 90 minutes, Bayern Munich defeated Juventus 2-0 in the field and advanced with a total score of 4-0. It was surprising that Barcelona, ​​who drew Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 in the first leg, returned to the Camp Nou The draw was 1:1, the total score was 3:3, and the promotion was based on the number of away goals.

With the end of these two games, the four teams that advanced to the Champions League semi-finals in the 2012-2013 season are all released, with two seats in the Bundesliga and two seats in La Liga, namely Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League semi-final draw will be held at 12:00 noon local time on April 12th in Europe, at the UEFA headquarters.

It is worth mentioning that the semi-final draw is the first time in the history of the Champions League. In the past, the semi-finals were automatically matched according to the upper and lower halves.

The semi-final draw is still presided over by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has never won the Champions League in his career, is the guest of draw.

Prior to this, European mainstream media and Chinese media conducted a detailed analysis of the possible results of the draw.

The draw results of the two semi-finals are nothing more than six results, Dortmund VS Bayern Munich, Real Madrid VS Barcelona, ​​Dortmund VS Real Madrid, Bayern Munich VS Barcelona, ​​Dortmund VS Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid VS Bayern Munich.

The only difference is who is the host and who is the guest.

Judging from the nature of the UEFA draw, the Chinese media believes that Dortmund may eventually draw Barcelona, ​​followed by Bayern Munich.

Why?

First of all, Dortmund was eliminated in the quarter-finals. The opponent was Barcelona, ​​and the process was even more controversial.

Secondly, Dortmund faced Real Madrid and Malaga in the group stage and knockout stage successively. In the semi-finals, it is very likely to meet Barcelona, ​​which has not yet played in the Champions League this season.

In addition, Messi, who was interviewed by the media after Barcelona's thrilling draw with Paris Saint-Germain, once said: "Touch who? Of course Dortmund.

"

Facing the reporter's "why", Messi gave a smile and did not continue to answer.

Dortmund captain Kyle, who is recovering from injury, publicly supported the team's draw for Barcelona in an interview with "Bild". '

Tang Zheng, the biggest contributor to Dortmund's promotion to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, was interviewed by media reporters and did not particularly expect to meet a team. He said: "The UEFA Champions League has entered the semi-finals. No matter which team you meet, you must invest 100%. A concentration of one hundred or even two hundred, so it's the same for anyone drawn."

Dortmund local reporters hope that Dortmund can draw Bayern Munich. Dortmund has achieved amazing results against Bayern Munich in the past three seasons.

If Bayern Munich is drawn in the semi-finals of the Champions League, it will undoubtedly get a final ticket to the new Wembley Stadium in advance.

Coincidentally, the local media in Munich said that Bayern Munich's last opponent is Borussia Dortmund.

Of course, they have a high-sounding reason-the hope that the first two Bundesliga teams in the Champions League semi-finals can continue to the Champions League final.

Before the Champions League semi-final draw at the UEFA headquarters, the host Infantino first explained the relevant rules of the draw ceremony in accordance with the regulations, and then reviewed the highlights of the four quarter-finals.

The game between Dortmund and Malaga was not the focus of reporters, fans, and experts, but the process of the game was full of ups and downs and full of magic.

At the critical moment of the broadcast, Zorc, the sports director who represented Dortmund at the lottery scene, naturally straightened his waist.

Immediately, the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League semi-final draw ceremony officially began.

The first team drawn by guest Ruud van Nistelroony was Bayern Munich, and the atmosphere of the whole lottery scene became very weird immediately.

The on-site director kept capturing the representatives of the other three teams in the lottery. Only Dortmund's legendary star and current sports director Zorc was very calm. He held his chin with his right hand and even nodded repeatedly.

But the next team drawn is not Dortmund, but... Real Madrid!

Four teams in the Champions League semi-finals, two of which were drawn, and the remaining two teams were automatically matched. Dortmund drew Barcelona!

However, the results of the draw still need to continue. According to the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw rules, the first team drawn first will be home and then away.

The team that Ruud van Nistelrooy's golden finger drew for the third time was Dortmund, which means that the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League semi-finals between Dortmund and Barcelona were first host and then away.

※※※

The draw for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League semi-finals was held at 12:00 noon local time on Friday in Europe. The Dortmund team watched the live broadcast in the tactical hall of the Stobelari Training Center as in the past.

When Bayern Munich drew Real Madrid, everyone's expressions changed significantly.

After all, their ideal opponent is Bayern Munich.

Leaving aside the comprehensive suppression of Bayern Munich in the past three seasons, the long distance from Germany to Spain alone affects physical fitness.

When the competition for the league championship is the most intense, a better physical reserve can ensure an advantage, otherwise many skills and tactics will be difficult to play.

The results of the draw for the Champions League semi-finals over there have just come out, and the global media here have already fully analyzed the next four Champions League semi-finals.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid were drawn together in the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw last season. After the two semi-finals, Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid on penalties to advance to the final.

Dortmund and Barcelona were drawn together in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season. If it were not for the referee, it is estimated that Dortmund would be the team that advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season instead of Barcelona.

This time the two teams are drawn together again, and it will definitely be something to watch.

Of course, compared to last season, Dortmund this season is more optimistic.

At the beginning of this season, the Barcelona club officially held a press conference to announce that it would not renew the contract with coach Guardiola after the end of the contract. In January this year, Bayern Munich officially announced that Guardiola will become their team coach next season.

Therefore, some media hope to see Bayern Munich and Barcelona "rush" to see whether Guardiola is showing favor to the new club or proving himself.

However, Dortmund and Barcelona are drawn together again, which is also full of highlights, but it lacks some highlights compared to Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

At the same time, Messi posted a meaningful sentence on his personal social networking site Twitter: "Long-awaited, longing for the championship!"

A Champions League five-star logo was added to the back.

What Messi wants to express is very obvious, the long-awaited game against Dortmund, and then beat them, aiming for the championship!

These topics are naturally reported by the media. What is placed in front of Dortmund and Barcelona is the domestic league.

The time for the four UEFA Champions League semi-finals in two rounds is at 20:45 on April 23/24 local time in Europe and at 20:45 on April 30 and May 1.

Over the weekend, Dortmund was a guest to challenge the newly promoted Grethoff.

It can be said that this game is not difficult for Dortmund. As a newly promoted team, Greithof has not adapted to the Bundesliga very well. They only scored 15 points in the 28th round of the league. Selldorf has 14 points, and is also 9 points away from Augsburg, which is third from the bottom in the league.

It is unlikely to complete relegation with the last six rounds of the league remaining.

In addition, Dortmund achieved a big reversal in the middle of the week, and the overall morale of the team was high. Even if the personnel made a large-scale rotation, they still easily defeated the home team Gretelhof.

1:6

The home team is in front, the visiting team is behind, and Dortmund is a guest to wash their opponents.

In another game at the same time, Bayern defeated Nuremberg 4-0 at home, so the league points gap between Dortmund and Bayern is still two points.

Perhaps, as the German media said, the 2012-2013 Bundesliga title race will continue to the second round of the German national derby this season.

※※※

In the past 29 rounds of the Bundesliga in the 2012-2013 season, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have accumulated 77 points and 75 points respectively.

It can be said that the two teams have been fighting each other since the first round of the National Derby. Dortmund lost 2:3 to Wolfsburg except for the home accident. From the seventeenth round of the league to the present, it has won 13 consecutive victories.

Bayern Munich did not give up much, winning 12 consecutive victories.

It is worth mentioning that the two teams broke a record at the same time-the longest winning streak in the second half of the league.

And Dortmund can enjoy a record here-the longest winning streak in the Bundesliga.

Regarding this, the German media is quite crazy. At this time, they automatically ignore the Champions League semi-finals and put the records created by the two teams to see how long their records can last...

Of course, the Dortmund team, which entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, did not pay too much attention to these reports that have nothing to do with the championship. They will have to start a consecutive week of double matches.

In the middle of next week, they will play against Freiburg at home in the German Cup semi-finals, and they will have to play Mainz at home on the weekend.

Immediately, Barcelona will usher in an adjustment at home.

There is no doubt that the most important of the three games is the semi-finals of the Champions League, but the home games against Freiburg and Mainz should not let down their vigilance.

The German Cup has entered the semi-finals, and the next step is the final.

There are still five rounds left in the league, two points behind the leader Bayern, any mistakes will lead to the league championship, and may even affect the status of the Champions League semi-finals.

Although Dortmund has some injuries now, Klopp's use of bench players is very reasonable. The 6:1 victory over Greithof in the away game proved that substitute players can also shoulder the heavy responsibility of winning.

In the middle of the week, Dortmund played against Freiburg at the Westfalenstadion.

Considering the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at home against Barcelona in the middle of next week, Klopp still made a lot of adjustments to the starting lineup. Players who seldom play games such as Shaheen, Scibel and Santana all got the chance to appear.

And they did not live up to Klopp's trust. 2:0, Dortmund beat Freiburg and took the lead in advancing to the final of the German Cup this season. At the same time, this is the fourth consecutive season they have entered the final of this event.

They have all won the championship in the past three seasons, creating the team that has won the most consecutive German Cup championships, so many media are optimistic about Dortmund's four consecutive championships in this event.

Four days later, Borussia Dortmund continued to sit at the Westfalun Stadium against league rivals Mainz.

There are still four days before the first round of the Champions League semi-finals. Klopp did not make any adjustments to the lineup. He sent a large number of main players in order to let the players find the feeling of the game as soon as possible.

During the game, the on-site director had sharp eyes. He took advantage of the game's gap time to give Barcelona coach Guardiola who came to watch the game.

What's interesting is that when the camera was shown to Guardiola, there were deafening boos at the scene, and it was given to the current Barcelona coach Guardiola who will become Bayern Munich's coach next season.

Tang Zheng, who was wearing the captain's armband, also saw Guardiola from the large LCD screen at the scene, and he grinned.

Perhaps it was the reason why Guardiola came to the Westphalian Stadium, Tang Zheng took advantage of the long-range shot in the next attack to break the deadlock.

Three minutes later, it was Tang Zheng again, and the connection between him and Lewandowski scored again.

2:0

This is the score from the game to half an hour.

Taking into account the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Barcelona at home in the middle of next week, Tang Zheng, who controlled the rhythm of the game with Shaheen, deliberately slowed down the pace of the game. Moreover, at this stage of the league, Mainz, who missed the European competition this season and has no pressure to relegation, did not. How much pressure on Dortmund.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Mainz 2-0 at home and prepared for Barcelona with a 14-game winning streak in the league.

In the other game that kicked off at the same time, Bayern as a guest was very strong. They beat the home team Hannover 96 6:1, maintaining a two-point advantage over Dortmund.

However, neither team paid too much attention to the issue of points. The first thing they considered was not to make active mistakes in the league.

In addition, the attention of Dortmund and Bayern after the league must be diverted to prepare for the next Champions League semi-final.

Borussia Dortmund hosts Barcelona and Bayern Munich hosts Real Madrid.

This season's Champions League semi-finals come from the Bundesliga and La Liga respectively. The two leagues each occupy two seats, and avoid the same league opponents in the draw, which means that there is a high possibility of a derby in the Champions League final this season.

The Champions League La Liga derby once appeared in the 1999-2000 season, Real Madrid VS Valencia.

If Dortmund and Bayern Munich lose to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, there will be the fourth Champions League final derby after the La Liga derby, Serie A derby and Premier League derby this season.

Considering this possibility, the German media took the lead and collected the tactical loopholes of Real Madrid and Barcelona since the results of the Champions League semi-final draw.

Likewise, the Spanish media.

In order to make the Spanish national derby appear in the Champions League final this season, they collected information everywhere.
