1397 Borussia Dortmund Youth Storm
1397 Borussia Dortmund Youth Storm
On September 9, Qin Xiong left home neatly dressed with his travel bag on his back. He drove to the Melwood training base and prepared to go to Germany with the team today. In the first game of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool will challenge Dortmund away.
When he drove to the Melwood training ground, he was surrounded by a large number of reporters.
He lowered the car window to let the reporters out of the way, but the reporters kept taking pictures and asking questions.
"Do you want to respond to news that you may be one of the top star players suspected of doping?"
"Your form has been very good over the years. Is this related to taking doping?"
......
Qin Xiong laughed back angrily.
He smiled at the reporters outside the window: "You guys actually take the news from The Sun seriously? I don't believe it anyway. Don't block my way here. I'm really full and have nothing to do."
The security guards at the Melwood training base came out to maintain order and let Qin Xiong's car drive into the training base.
In fact, in addition to disclosing that a Premier League player had a positive urine test, the "Sun" also revealed other news.
According to the "Sun", the player completed a transfer between Premier League clubs this summer with a transfer fee of millions of pounds, but his new club did not disclose the results of his latest drug test. A Channel 4 show on Thursday night was revealed.
According to the staff of the program group, in fact not only the top star of the Premier League, but also dozens of football players were found to have problems in drug tests for drugs and marijuana, but the FA and these players Many clubs have blocked the news and don't want their names to be exposed.
According to an investigation document, three former England internationals and one former Scotland international were found to contain stimulants in their urine during a drug test, and all four were eventually condemned and punished.
Just because the content of the disclosed information expanded the scope of suspicion to the suspect, Qin Xiong would naturally be affected.
The first is that he is a foreigner, and the second is that he is the focus of news in the British media.
If something happened to him, maybe the news would become the top three news in the world that day!
Looking at it from another angle, many people actually hope that something will happen to Qin Xiong!
But Qin Xiong had a clear conscience, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the suspicion of the outside world.
After he arrived at the Melwood training ground, Freddie's call came.
"Do you need to be tough in front of the media?"
"No, they won't be stupid enough to accuse me by name, they will only insinuate and avoid legal responsibility. They are all old foxes and will not make low-level mistakes. It will certainly help to use this incident to attract me. Their newspapers are sold, and regardless of them, it will always be fine."
"Okay, then don't think too much about it and concentrate on your work."
"Of course, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's game."
"well, why?"
"Because the opponent is Dortmund."
"Well, good luck, I'll be cheering you on in front of the TV tomorrow."
"Thanks and good luck."
Qin Xiong ignored the doping scandal and embarked on a journey to Germany with the team.
Dortmund, which was revived in Germany, returned to the top of the Bundesliga last season after 9 years and overturned the rule of Bayern Munich. The Dortmund youth army led by Klopp blew up a youth storm in European football.
Therefore, the outside world is also looking forward to Dortmund's performance in the European war.
On the day before the game, Klopp said humbly at the pre-match press conference: "Liverpool is one of the strongest teams in European football. Dortmund is still very young. We need to accumulate experience in the Champions League to achieve greater success. The progress against Liverpool is a good learning opportunity, and we will strive to get out of the group stage."
Koeman's evaluation of Dortmund is completely admirable.
"It is very rare to be able to achieve success with young players. I have a deep understanding of this. Klopp's success is admirable. We will play a wonderful game at the West**** Stadium."
On September 9th, the defending champion Liverpool's new season's Champions League journey officially started, and the first game visited the West **** Stadium.
Before the game, Koeman and Dortmund coach Klopp had a good chat on the sidelines.
After the players of the two teams walked into the stadium, the magnificent cheers from the Dortmund fans at the Westfield Stadium really surprised the Liverpool players.
It's like walking into another Anfield.
But the sound of cheering and cheering is for their opponents, and the pressure will fall to the Red Army.
"Welcome to West**** Stadium, the European Champions Cup group stage of the new season officially starts today!
Defending champion Liverpool and Marseille, Borussia Dortmund and Olympiacos were assigned to the same group. On the first match day, Dortmund played against Liverpool at home.
Dortmund's signing luck was very bad. They met Liverpool in the group stage, which in the eyes of most people means that Liverpool will lock a qualifying spot.
The remaining one spot will be produced among the other three teams.
But this game still gave the outside world enough expectations.
People want to see how Klopp's Dortmund will perform in the Champions League.
They overthrew Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga, but returned to the Champions League after 7 years, and now the team's players have no experience in the Champions League. Can Dortmund compete in this more intense and difficult battlefield? It is really unknown how to achieve satisfactory results.
Liverpool has a strong team and has won the Champions League for two consecutive years. Although the captain Gerrard was unable to play today due to injury, Liverpool is still overwhelmingly optimistic.
Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.
Dortmund start 4231.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.
Defenders: Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer.
Midfield: Gotze, Kyle, Shinji Kagawa, Bender, Grosscruz.
Forward: Lewandowski.
Liverpool starting 4312.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baynes.
Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Qin Xiong, Lucas.
Forwards: Suarez, Raul.
The biggest change Liverpool made today is to withdraw Qin Xiong's position. The arrows on the front line are Suarez and Raul. Let's see if Koeman's changes will make our eyes shine. "
Although Liverpool's starting lineup is Qin Xiong playing the midfielder, but in fact, Liverpool still play three forwards.
It's just that Qin Xiong ambushed behind the two forwards.
This is another attempt by Koeman. After being drawn by Stoke City, he found that Qin Xiong is at the forefront of the striker and it is difficult to get opportunities in dense defensive areas.
He retreated Qin Xiong's position.
See how it works today in the Champions League. (to be continued~^~)
