361 Fighting the Premier League again
With Tang Hong's final victory, Dortmund defeated Hannover 1-0 at home and won 9 consecutive league wins, continuing to beat Bayern Munich to lead the standings with 4 points.
In the same round, Bayern Munich swept Mainz 4:1, and the Bundesliga giants gradually got better.
The German media sang hymns to Tang Hong, but Klopp couldn't be happy.
The overall decline of the team after the Fifa game day is obvious to all. It is still unknown how long Tang Hong, who was not affected by the Fifa virus, can continue to turn the tide alone.
After a short rest, Dortmund set off for London, England to challenge Arsenal.
The third round of the Champions League group stage arrived as scheduled.
After leaving the Premier League, Tang Hong was naturally the focus of Fleet Street's attention.
When he got off the Dortmund bus, reporters kept asking him questions on both sides, asking whether he regretted leaving Manchester United and whether he had considered the feelings of Manchester United fans.
Tang Hong walked into the Emirates Stadium with a backpack as usual.
Arsenal is actually one of Tang Hong's contenders in the summer, but Tang Hong left Manchester United and reached an agreement with the club and would not return to the Premier League within three years. Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal's offer to him was naturally ignored.
Arsenal spent money to bring in 272 from Real Madrid.
It seems that the strength has improved.
Wenger said that he could not understand his choice when talking about Tang Hong before the game.
"It is obvious that the Premier League is his best choice. The fierce competition in the Premier League will help the players grow better. He is already a superstar, but he can still become the top star here. However, he chose the Bundesliga. I am not saying that Dortmund is not good. The pressure to play for Dortmund is much smaller than that in the Premier League. He cannot score 18 league goals in 9 rounds of the Premier League."
Wenger's words sound reasonable, but Tang Hong once thought about this. He will indeed experience more tough battles in the Premier League, but if we talk about championship competition, there are actually only one opponent, or two teams. The Premier League has not seen any situation where 3 or more teams compete for championships at the end of the season.
In the Bundesliga championship, Bayern Munich is the only opponent to compete for the championship, but this opponent will give Dortmund no room tolerate mistakes, and losing points in one or two games may lead to failure in the championship.
This is the difficulty and test of the Bundesliga championship. As for the Champions League, there is not much difference. It can even be said that the Bundesliga team will be in a better state than the Premier League team. On the one hand, the Bundesliga teams value the benefits of the Champions League more, and on the other hand, the Bundesliga teams do not have such frequent schedules to distract their energy.
Only children can see right or wrong, while adults can only see pros and cons.
After consideration, Tang Hong came to Dortmund and needed a better growth environment. Dortmund's tactical environment is one of the top choices in European football, whether it is Serie A or Chelsea?
Or Atletico Madrid?
That means Tang Hong is going to play for a team that plays defensive counterattacks.
Before he was 23 years old, he would rather try more technical and tactical styles, which is also a very important part of his growth.
Stepping onto the turf of Emirates Stadium again?
How much does Tang Hong feel like returning to the Premier League?
Because the atmosphere on the scene really made him familiar and excited.
The starters of the two teams held a kickoff ceremony on the court, and the cheering of the explosion on the scene made people excited.
"Good evening, everyone, everyone?
Welcome to the third round of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage Arsenal will face Dortmund at home.
The showdown between these two teams is the highlight of this group. Both teams achieved two consecutive victories in the first two rounds and tied for the top spot?
The team that won the advantageous results in the next two rounds of the game is likely to advance to the Champions League round 16 two rounds ahead of schedule?
And in order to compete for the top spot in the group, they will naturally do their best!
Arsenal, who is in the Emirates Stadium, started 4231 today.
Goalkeeper: Szczesni.
Defenders: Sania, Koscheerny, Mertesacker?
Gibbs.
Midfielder: 272?
Arteta, Willsheer, Ramsey, Rosici.
Forward: Giroud.
Dortmund starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.
Defender: Piszczek, Hummels?
Subotic, Schmelzer.
Midfielder: Sven Bend?
Mkhitaryan, Gundoan.
Forward: Reus?
Lewandowski, Tang Hong.
Both teams basically have the strongest lineup?
It seems that there will inevitably be a battle for the Emirates Stadium today!”
Wenger and Klopp both stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle?
The game officially started with the referee's whistle.
Arsenal, who played at home, took the lead in launching the offensive?
The three passes in the middle and front court still showed a delicate and tacit side of the technical cooperation. Then, 272 gave Giroud a wonderful pass on the right side.
But Giroud, who was diagonally inserted into the right side of the penalty area, wanted to shoot after receiving the ball, was broken by Subotic before breaking the ball out of the baseline.
It is naturally very difficult for Arsenal to break through Dortmund's defense line head-on. After all, there is no single player who has particularly strong raiding ability among their players.
In the 4th minute of the game, Dortmund attacked in the frontcourt. Tang Hong sought cooperation with his teammates in the situation of Arteta and Sarnia. He had just passed and cut with Mkhitaryan and then found Lewandowski in the middle of the penalty area. Tang Hong cut inwardly, but Lewandowski tried to turn around and pass the ball while taking the initiative to respond and was intercepted by Koscheerny.
It seems that his condition has not recovered.
Arsenal naturally did not stand Dortmund at all at home, and they played quickly in the middle and frontcourt, which made them very successful. After all, Arsenal's midfielders have organizational abilities. Arteta, Ramsey, Willshere, and Rosici and 272 are almost all players who can play the role of the organization in the midfield. The passing cooperation is really dazzling.
But it just played fancy but no substantial threat.
Giroud's speed was not enough in the penalty area, and fighting for a header could pose a threat, but Arsenal was about to hit the ground.
Sven Bend and Gundogan were a little dizzy. Fortunately, Hummels and Subotic were not moving and performed steadily. In addition, Weidenfeller did not make any mistakes, so Arsenal could only play around the outside world, and ended the attack with a long shot.
Lewandowski's fulcrum role on Dortmund has been declining since the last league game, and he failed to rebound in this game. Dortmund's local cooperation was very unsatisfactory under the strong attack.
After 30 minutes of the game, Dortmund began to try direct medium- and long-distance connections.
Rosici dribbled in the left side of the frontcourt and cut in. After cooperating with Willsheer, he also planned to pass the ball back to Willsheer who was in front. Arsenal obviously hoped to perform a fairy ball cooperation that would continuously hit the wall and pass through. After all, he had previously sent threatening balls to Giroud in the past and failed to make a shot.
But this time Hummels intercepted the ball in the penalty area very steadily, and then passed the ball diagonally to Piszczek on the right.
Piszczek quickly dribbled along the right and fought all the way through the half, but there was no Arsenal player to intercept!
Ramsey didn't assist in the defense of the wings until he entered the dangerous area of the offensive.
At this time, Piszczek shortly passed the ball to the right in front of the penalty area. Reus cut across from the wing and threw away Gibbs. When he was pulling the ball, he spiked the ball and broke into the right rib of the penalty area.
The national teammate Mertsak's slow turn is reflected again.
So when Mertesack returned to defense at full speed to block his cross and shooting line, Reus stopped and spiked back and easily got rid of it.
Before Gibbs arrived, Reus passed the ball away from the left rib of the penalty area.
Koscheerny defended Lewandowski in the middle, but the football flew over his head and turned around and saw Tang Hong who was quickly approaching.
Szchensny abandoned the goal and Tang Hong swung his left leg towards the falling football and shot directly!
Szczesni saved halfway through the attack and blocked the angle. The target was right in front of Tang Hong's left foot, so that he could maximize the blockade of his shooting angle.
But what caught him off guard was that Tang Hong's left foot slowed down when the football fell, and the shot turned into a spike and changed direction!
Tang Hong splashed the ball to the right side of his body with his left foot. After moving one step, he was already staggering the angle with Szczesni. He pushed the ball with his right foot and shot it into the middle of the goal from Szczesni.
The moment the football rolled into the goal, Arsenal fans were particularly depressed.
The top Premier League scorers have left the Premier League last season, but they still have to bully them!
Tang Hong ran to the visiting team fan stands with a confident smile and jumped in front of the stands, then made an uppercut in the air.
Wenger had no choice but to spread his hands, and Klopp clapped and applauded.
"Tang Hong spiked the ball beautifully over Szczesny and pushed the ball into the empty goal!
Arsenal fans should not be surprised at all. Fleet Street praised this super scorer throughout the Premier League season. Tang Hong dimmed the stars of other strikers in the Premier League. Now he represents Dortmund to break through the Premier League team's goal again!
Reus' assists are also very exciting. Dortmund's attack firepower is amazing in the new season, and it is inseparable from the tacit understanding of the forward cooperation!
Such a team, Dortmund, will inevitably be one of the popular teams to win the Champions League this season.
Before this game, Arsenal's qualifying situation should be very optimistic. They won both games, but now they were first to break the goal at home. So they might have to consider what would happen if the worst result in these two rounds appeared?
If he is double-killed by Dortmund at home and away, then Arsenal will have to fight Napoli and Marseille in the last two rounds. Unless Napoli and Marseille have two draws during the same period, Arsenal will not be able to get comfortable at all.
Instead of waiting until the situation becomes bad, it is better to take the initiative and try to equalize the score at home or even take the lead!
Arsenal has no problem with the offensive organization, but they lack players who can turn their chances into goals for them. The threat of just one Giroud is probably not enough.
Chapter completed!
