Vol 3 Chapter 74: UEFA Champions League against Dortmund

When Real Madrid and Barcelona prepared for the 29th round of the 2013-2014 La Liga national derby, the draw of the Champions League quarter-finals for the 2013-2014 season was held as scheduled at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Compared with the UEFA Champions League group stage and the 1/8 final draw, there is no evasion rule in the quarter-final draw, which means that the three La Liga teams that have advanced to the quarter-finals of this season are likely to have a civil war situation.

One of the most anticipated draw results is undoubtedly the Real Madrid VS Barcelona national derby, Real Madrid VS Atletico Madrid derby.

Of course, these two games are the results that neutral fans most want to see.

At 12 noon on March 21st, European local time, the 2013-2014 season Champions League quarter-final draw was held in Nyon, Switzerland. The draw ceremony was still hosted by UEFA Secretary General Infantino, and this season's Champions League final ambassador Figo Responsible for drawing lots.

The first team to be drawn was Barcelona, ​​which immediately caused an uproar on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the final ambassador pulled out Atletico Madrid.

At the scene, Barcelona officials and Atletico officials were black at the same time. Obviously, this lottery was difficult for them to accept.

The Atletico players sitting in front of the TV are the same as the Barcelona players, but there are also some people who are fortunate that they did not get Real Madrid, which is more difficult to deal with.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching the draw live, took a breath. Barcelona and Atletico were drawn together, which also means that the pressure on the next two teams in the Champions League will increase, and the attention of the league will decrease accordingly. The quarter-finals of the Champions League will be a key moment for Real Madrid to score points.

The draw ceremony continued, after all, Barcelona has drawn Atletico Madrid has become a fact, there are six teams in the quarter-final draw opponents have not settled, must follow the process.

Next, Real Madrid took a breath.

Barcelona VS Atletico has drawn, and now with Real Madrid, it means that the remaining five teams are possible.

Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, no matter which team they face, do not seem to be playing well.

However, the Champions League entered the quarter-finals, whichever team they play, they must work hard.

"Which team will you draw in the end?" Tang Zheng's brows narrowed, and he was uncertain among the five teams that might be drawn.

In fact, it is the same for Tang Zheng to choose which team, but he has a team in his heart who is not willing to touch.

That's right, Dortmund.

In the short period of time when Tang Zheng was so fictitious, the drawing guest Figo had already taken out a UEFA Champions League logo ball with the team's name from the drawing column.

He opened it, his expression was meaningful, and then turned over the white paper with the team's name on it and showed it in front of the TV.

Yang Xuan, Duan Xuan's eyes widened, exclaimed: "God, Real Madrid's Champions League 1/8 final draw to Schalke 04, unexpectedly in the quarter-finals even reached Dortmund, Tang Zheng will face the old Dortmund, and this game is also a direct confrontation of the Champions League final team last season. "

Real Madrid official Sanchez's facial expressions have not changed much. For him, as long as they don't draw Atletico and Barcelona.

It doesn't matter if you get to Dortmund!

Anyway, Dortmund's most threatening Tang Zheng has joined Real Madrid last summer, which means that Dortmund is not a basis.

Dortmund official Zoellke was very helpless. He thought of Dortmund touching Real Madrid, but he did not expect to meet in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Now this Dortmund is no longer the peak of Dortmund. In the season when Tang Zheng left, Dortmund's overall record has declined significantly, especially in the Bundesliga.

Now that the Champions League quarter-final draws a powerful Real Madrid, it means that the road of the Champions League this season is very bumpy.

Although not to say that Dortmund's Champions League road ends here, at least the difficulty level coefficient comes to the highest point.

If Real Madrid didn't have Tang Zheng, it would be better to say, but Real Madrid Zorke, who owns Tang Zheng, knows best, it is like a tiger.

Tang Zheng, sitting in front of the TV, shook his head and smiled bitterly. The opponent he was least willing to meet was finally drawn.

In fact, as early as before the start of the Champions League quarter-final draw, there was media speculation. Will the two sides draw together last season?

UEFA draws have always been gimmicks, aside from last season's Champions League reenactment, not to mention, Tang Zheng's return to Westfalun's Champions League knockout is also enough to attract attention, so that the Champions League brand can get the most advertising benefits.

But then again, face to face sooner or later.

Some things cannot be avoided.

Where the dream begins, it is worth recalling.

Real Madrid and Dortmund are drawn together and it is worthy of on-site commentary for the in-depth discussion of the narrator. However, there are four teams that have not been drawn in the Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony, so UEFA Secretary General Infantino and Final Ambassador Figo continued The draw of the Champions League quarter-finals allowed the remaining four teams to successfully pair.

Tang Zheng did not have any interest in the detailed analysis of the Spanish national television broadcaster Tiago. He turned off the TV and prepared to go to the gym at Valdebebas training base.

At this moment, his mobile phone placed on the luxurious mahogany table rang, but he didn't care too much. After all, it was a very common information prompt tone.

After just five seconds, the phone continuously sounded information prompts.

So Tang Zheng was very helpless to pick up the phone to see, it turned out that the Dortmund teammates sent 'compassionate message'.

In Dortmund, the best relationship with Tang Zheng is undoubtedly Martz Hummels, so the text message sent is the most direct, he said: "I know the characteristics of you most, want to score and assist? No way!"

Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled, then replied casually: "I see your defensive flaws in my eyes, waiting for you to become a pigman!"

The text message of Yan Junling, who has become Dortmund's first goalkeeper, said: "Brother Zheng, can you give me a face? Please be cruel."

Lewandowski's text messages are the most funny. He said: "According to the old rules, can you surrender by half?"

Even Dortmund head coach Klopp also sent a text message: "This is a new era. We are looking forward to the two Champions League quarter-final contests. We will let you know that Dortmund is still strong."

...

Tang Zheng slowly read each message, and then slowly reply.

The process of drawing the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals lottery on the TV broadcast was very fast. Paris Saint-Germain drew Chelsea, which also meant that the last two teams Manchester United and Bayern Munich were drawn together.

However, because the order of the Champions League quarter-final draw is related to the next home and away, the remaining two teams, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, also have to draw.

The first team to draw is Manchester United, which means Bayern Munich will come first.

After Tang Zheng fully replied, the 2013-2014 season UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony was over, but Spanish national television station broadcaster Thiago was still eager to analyze the just-finished UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw.

Tang Zheng turned off the TV after returning the text message, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, and then went to the gym to prepare for the afternoon training class.

It is crucial to play against Barcelona in the home league. There can be no slack, even in the Champions League quarter-finals.

At the same time, CCTV 5 commentator Duan Xuan is still explaining to the Chinese fans in front of the TV that the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw this season, in addition to Paris Saint-Germain VS Chelsea, the other three games have re-reviewed, especially Real Madrid The first draw is followed by the draw against Dortmund.

In addition to the origins of the two teams in the Champions League final last season, Dortmund meritorious player Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid with a record transfer fee in the world football last summer. There are also enough topics, so the commentator Duan Xuan and the commentary guest Xu Yang are talking endlessly. .

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was very helpless. He said: “Dortemund ’s events in this season are not only ideal for the German Cup, but the league and the Champions League are not very ideal. The league is pressed behind by Bayern Munich. The Champions League 1/8 final Relying solely on the advantage of scoring more goals away to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they are now drawn to the powerful Real Madrid. Perhaps ... their journey to the Champions League this season will be declared ahead of time ... "

Although Dortmund fans sitting in front of the TV seemed helpless, they did not lose confidence in the team. To survive in the environment.

Of course, at this time, more Dortmund fans are starting to look forward to and look forward to Tang Zheng coming home.

The next day, the outbreak of mainstream European media in addition to the upcoming Spanish national derby, as well as the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw at the UEFA headquarters Nyon yesterday at noon.

Every game has an endless story, especially the encounter between Real Madrid and Dortmund.

But the attention of Real Madrid players has not shifted, and it is still placed in the upcoming Spanish national derby.

Before the arrival of the Champions League quarter-finals, in addition to the Spanish national derby, there are two leagues, which means that Real Madrid has enough time to prepare for the two rounds of home and away against Dortmund's Champions League quarter-finals.

So the top priority is the Spanish national derby at the Bernabeu Stadium the day after tomorrow.

It was indeed a headache for Barcelona to draw Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but the current competition they need to focus on is still about to start the national derby.

In the two days of preparation, there were not many players on both sides of the game, but the fans on both sides were a bit lonely and used the online platform to fight each other.

In a blink of an eye, Real Madrid's national derby match against Barcelona came.

Several hours before the start of the game, the square around the Bernabéu Stadium has been filled with Real Madrid fans and some Barcelona fans wearing red and blue shirts.

However, compared to the crowd of Real Madrid fans, Barcelona has a poor number of fans.

Of course, it's not that Barcelona fans didn't come much, but that there are still hours before the game begins, and many Barcelona fans are recuperating.

Like the players, they need a good mental state to prepare for the next ninety minutes of battle.

In many cases, stand fans consume no less physical energy than players running on the field for 90 minutes.

When the two sides of the game took the bus to the designated parking place of Bernabeu, Andalusia's capital Seville came a news that was not very lucky for both sides of the national derby.

Real Betis, who is at home at the Lopera Stadium, lost to Atletico Madrid 0: 2, which means that the first match of Atletico Madrid is four points ahead of Real Madrid and five points ahead of Barcelona.

If the country has no way to win or lose, Atletico Madrid's points advantage will reach three and four points.

...

Players from both sides have appeared one after another at the Bernabeu Stadium to warm up. The stadium that can accommodate 81,000 fans is basically filled, and only scattered spots are empty.

But over time, these empty seats were filled with ticket fans until they were full.

The 2013-2014 season La Liga second round national derby is a must-see for every avid fan.

In a few moments, players from both sides of the game returned from the player aisles to their respective locker rooms to make final preparations for the next national derby.

Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 2-0 away, which is an ultimatum to both sides of the game.

In a tie, the points will be increased, and the winning side will shrink the points, but the losing side will be further increased.

In the home team's locker room, Ancelotti's tactical layout is quite rigorous. He took the Barcelona starting list handed over by assistant Clement, and the official formation was four, three, three.

The goalkeeper is still Valdes, the four defenders are Alba, Pique, Mascherano and Alves, the three midfielders are Xavi, Busquets and Fabregas, and the three forwards are Neymar , Messi and Iniesta.

According to the analysis of Ancelotti's coaching team, if there is no accident, Barcelona came to the Bernabeu stadium not to plan too much defense, but ... offensive!

In the midfield, besides Busquets is a professional defensive midfielder, Xavi and Fabregas are both offensive and weak, plus Iniesta in the frontcourt, Barcelona's midfield organization is very strong.

But then again, Barcelona want to play at the Bernabeu stadium, perhaps more beneficial to their own team.

In this game, Ancelotti does not plan to put Tang Zheng in the front waist, but partner Harvey Alonso to play the lower back, Modric with weak defense as the front waist.

Although only the positions of Tang Zheng and Modric were exchanged, the coaching team of Ancelotti believes that the role played by the time will be crucial ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ So in the key deployment before the game , Ancelotti focused on Tang Zheng.

In the visiting team's locker room, Martino's eyes swept over every Barcelona player and finally fixed on Messi.

Because ... the only player he can rely on is fellow Messi.

Harvey is old, and his ability and game experience are still there, that is, his physical fitness has declined significantly. The first round of this season the national Germans lost more because Harvey cannot control the overall situation.

In this campaign, as guest of Bernabeu, Martino finally decided to play against Real Madrid is Messi's recent competitive state.

A hot Messi is equivalent to an unsolved existence.

The time passed quickly, and in a flash, the staff knocked on the door of the main and away locker rooms, reminding them to go to the player channel and prepare for the next national derby.

Immediately, the live guide switched shots, from the Bernabeu stadium panorama to the player channel, the players on both sides gradually moved closer to the player channel from two different directions, and then lined up in two teams ...
