Chapter 61 Home vs. Russia
After fighting Frankfurt with 2-1 without any danger, Hoffenheim returned to the second place in the league, ending this game. Hoffenheim had time to revise. And Gong Zheng was going to run to Dortmund and the German national team to gather, because the German national team will have two very important games to play next.
After Gong Zheng arrived at the hotel for the German national team training, most of the players of the German national team had arrived, and Gong Zheng was considered to be relatively late. This time, the German national team's roster attracted strong attention from the German media. [..com]
Because Michel Barack, the former German national team core who was previously ranked outside by Ralph Rangnick, was re-selected to the German national team. After the finals were thrilling to tie the Finnish team three to three, Lov's selection of materials was strongly questioned and condemned by the German media.
In fact, when Michel Barak was out of the German national team roster, the German media criticized Loew frantically. However, in the first game, the German national team defeated Liechtenstein 6-0, and the doubts of the German media were slightly weakened.
However, after the thrilling draw of Finland in the later three to three, this question reached a high level, and they questioned Lov and called for Michel Barak to be selected for the German national team again. Perhaps after careful consideration, Lov really recruited Michel Barak to the German national team.
After Michel Barack was re-elected into the German national team, media reporters also did not let Löw go, and seized on the fact that Barack had not been selected before and continued to mock Löw.
In addition to Barack's selection, Werder Bremen's young midfielder Mesut Ozil was also selected for the German national team for the first time and has also received widespread attention. In the recent Bundesliga, Mesut Ozil's performance was quite exciting, and their selection for the German national team has received good reviews.
Of course, the thing that everyone is most concerned about now is Gong Zheng. Although this guy did not score in the last round of the game, his performance in the last round was also very good, but his luck was a little worse. In addition, Gong Zheng scored four goals alone in the last game, which was very glorious. They all hope that Gong Zheng can continue his good momentum in the German national team and score more goals for the German national team.
After coming to the German national team, the first day of training is still mainly about recovery. After the baptism of the league, players must have a recovery period, and the first day of training is just one practice.
It was not until the next day that the German national team conducted tactical training. During the training these days, Gong Zheng's performance was still good, and he could win in one training game. He scored two or three goals, which shows that Gong Zheng is in very good shape now.
On October 8, Russian players came to Germany to adapt to Germany's weather, climate and stadium. The Russian national team also valued this game. They hoped to score points at Germany's home court so that the subsequent games would be easier.
This game is a confrontation between the two strongest teams in this group, so it attracted a lot of attention. A fan of the German national team is talking about this game and looking forward to this game.
In the first round, he defeated Liechtenstein 6-0, and in the second round, he fought with Finland three-to-three. Germany is now ranked first in the group with four points with two points. Russia only played in one round, defeating Wales 2-1, and is now ranked second in the group. The last time the two sides met was in the friendly match in 2005, where Germany and Russia shook hands and made peace. The winner of this game will also have the opportunity to become the leader in Group D.
The German team's lineup is still quite complete, with the main goalkeeper Enke having a broken arm with a broken arm, but young player Adler has shown in the past two seasons, in addition to outstanding abilities, the Germans never need to worry too much about the goalkeeper position. More importantly, the return of midfielders Flins and Barak will make the German midfielder appear thicker and more controllable. The Russian team has no record of defeating the Germans in history. In this game, under the leadership of the new Tsar Arshavin, the Russian team is looking forward to creating history in Dortmund. Last season, Zenit St. Petersburg had an outstanding performance against Bayern Munich. Although Zenit lost to Real Madrid in the last round of the Champions League, it created the most embarrassing situation on the field in recent years. Alshavin's performance is particularly outstanding. Whether the Russian team can bring back victory on the Germans' land is worth looking forward to.
The performance of the Russian national team in the European Cup was eye-catching. The magical coach Hiddink was very successful in the training of Russia. The football they played was like Dutch football. In the European Cup, Russia's fake Dutch football made the Dutch team look shameless. Löv dared not take this Russian team lightly.
The German national team has been preparing for the Russian national team. The German national team hopes to get enough points in the front so that they can have time and opportunities to adjust their tactics and run-in lineups later to prepare for their trip to South Africa.
In the 2006th domestic World Cup, the German national team won third place, and in the 2008th European Cup, the German national team won second place. Now the Germans really hope that the German national team can win the championship in the 2010 South Africa World Cup, so they must prepare carefully for this.
The World Cup qualifiers between the German national team and the Russian national team will be played in the Westfalen Stadium, home court in Dortmund, Germany.

In the 2005 season, the 1.4 million spectators set a new record for European football entry.
On October 10th, the Westfaren Stadium in Dortmund was full, and there were crowds of people inside.
This game is also broadcast live on China's CCTV fifth program. The commentators who commented on this game are Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu.
"Hello everyone, everyone, this is CCTV Channel 5. Today we are bringing you a focus battle in the fourth group of the European Qualifiers in the 2010 South Africa World Cup. The German national team will face the Russian national team at its own home court." Liu Jianhong made his opening remarks on his routine.
"This game is a highlight. Whoever wins this game will become the top spot in the group, so it will be easy for both sides to play in the subsequent games. After all, the next round of their two teams will be a year later. This game is likely to be a key battle for who will win the first place in the group!" Zhang Lu explained in detail the importance of this game.
"Although today is away, I think Hiddink must have come for victory. Their current Russian national team has this strength!" Liu Jianhong also sighed, "There are many powerful players in the Russian national team, especially Alshaven and Pavlyuchenko. These two are the main attacking forces of the Russian national team. If the German national team stops these two, then they will win this game."
While CCTV commentators were commenting, the players from both sides listened to the tactical arrangements of their respective coaches in the locker room.
In the locker room of the German national team.
"I won't say much about the importance of this game. I only have one requirement, which is to win the victory of this game at any cost, because this is our home court, and we cannot let them make ground on our heads. We must win this game!" Head coach Löw issued a dead order to the players of the German national team before the game, and they must win it.
"It must be won, it must be won, it must be won!!" The players of the German national team raised their fists, roared wildly, and roared wildly.
On the other side, in the Russian national team locker room, Hiddink is also making the final mobilization.
"The German national team is very strong, but they have one weakness, that is, they are young. Youth will make mistakes, and this is our opportunity. I hope that when the opponent makes mistakes, you must seize the opportunity, send football into their goal, and win the game!" The team's head coach Hiddink.
None of the Russian players spoke, but they could see from their firm eyes how strong their determination to win the game was.
"Hello everyone, audience friends! This is CCTV Channel No. 1. Now the players from both sides are in the player channel and are waiting to appear. The game is about to start." CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong said with great excitement.
"Yes, the battle of Tianwang Mountain in this group competition is about to begin. This is an exciting moment!" CCTV commentator Zhang Lu also said excitedly.
"Okay, amid the crazy cheers of fans on both sides, the players from both sides have appeared, and the game is about to begin." Liu Jianhong was extremely excited.
"Okay, use this time to introduce to you the starting list of both sides in this game!" Zhang Lu seized this gap and said.
"I will introduce to you the starting list of the home team's German national team!" Liu Jianhong took Zhang Lu's words and said, "The German team today is a 442-team lineup, and Adler starts in the goalkeeper position. The four defenders are Friedrich, Mertsacker, Westman, and Ram. Metzeld did not start today, which is somewhat unexpected."
"In the midfield midfielder, Flins and Barak, the left forward is Schweinsteiger, the right forward is Trosovsky, and the new national team Mesut Ozil did not start, but sat on the bench. The double forwards are Gong Zheng and Podolsky." Liu Jianhong continued.
Seeing Liu Jianhong finishing his words, Zhang Lu immediately said: "The Russian national team is also lined up with a 442 lineup today. The goalkeeper is still his No. 1 goalkeeper Akinfeyev, the four defenders are Ahnukov, Ignashevich, v. Berezusky, and Jerkov. The players in the four midfielders are Villaretinov, Semak, Jiryanov, and Sayanko, and the double strikers are Arshavin and Pogrebniak."
"The Russian national team's starting roster today surprised all the fans, that is, their top scorer in the European Cup, Pavlyuchenko, did not start, but sat on the bench. I don't know what magic coach Hiddink is selling in the gourd today." Zhang Lu said in confusion.
"Yes, why not let Pavlyuchenko go? This is the striker that Real Madrid had been optimistic about before. Does Hiddink still want to use him as a surprise?" Liu Jianhong said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
