After two months of quit, the Champions League finally rekindled, and it was a more intense and exciting knockout round!

The battle between defending champions Dortmund and Juventus is very interesting.

For example, who can lead the team to eliminate opponents, including superstars Pogba or Tang Hong?

Sometimes the European media's contempt for Tang Hong is obvious.

Just like Chinese fans always leave comments under such news: Why should Pogba compete with Tang Hong?

He is neither a forward nor a honor to show off.

Is it because they are the same age?

If it were C Ronaldo and Messi, European media would probably not put them together for discussion.

The invisible subtext is actually that Tang Hong has not reached the extraordinary category.

Tang Hong doesn't care about this.

If he retires now, he can at least take out one Europa League champion and two Champions League medals.

Although it is a little less, it is still an honorable achievement that is enviable and respectable compared to most players who play in the top European leagues in their careers.

On the evening of February 18, Juventus Stadium in Turin.

Tang Hong stood in the player channel and waited for the game to begin, casually glanced at Juventus' starting players. In addition to the legendary Buffon and Pirlo, all other players were familiar celebrities, as well as Tevez, who had once played in the Premier League.

Evra, who joined Juventus from Manchester United, greeted Tang Hong briefly.

The two once had a season of cooperation at Manchester United, and they were a combination of the same wing.

However, after Tang Hong walked on the Fleet Street, he had a negative public opinion evaluation of him, and Evra's relationship with Tang Hong was also very ordinary at Manchester United.

He also saw Pogba with a unique hairstyle. Compared to Tang Hong, who has maintained the same hairstyle for several years, Pogba is definitely a master in hairstyle replacement.

When Tang Hong joined Manchester United, Pogba signed with Juventus that summer and left Manchester United.

Two and a half years have passed in a flash, and Tang Hong has left Manchester United, leaving behind unprecedented glory and achievements, as well as team history scorer data. Pogba has also made a name for Juventus and is considered the next midfielder in European football.

With Manchester United sinking into the Premier League, Fleet Street often takes stock of some players that the Red Devils should not let go in recent years. Tang Hong is the first, and Pogba is the second.

So although the two of them have never met before, they often appear on the same topic.

I don't know if this is a special fate.

The starters of both teams appeared, and the Juventus Stadium was magnificent.

Klopp and Allegri stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle, with a serious expression.

Allegri lamented that he was not lucky and met the defending champion as soon as he entered the knockout round!

Klopp couldn't figure out the team's state.

Playing league and European games are completely different battlefields.

Whether it is Dortmund or Juventus, they actually have similar problems. If Juventus thinks that they are invincible in Europe when they walk sideways in Serie A, they will definitely not wake up.

Fortunately, as a veteran wealthy family, they are experienced and can clearly recognize reality.

Dortmund's record in the Bundesliga has fluctuated recently, and the team's overall condition fluctuates greatly. In addition, Sven Bend's injury is absent, the old captain Kyle, who will retire in a few months after the start of today.

If Klopp is not worried, he will be heartless.

Juventus lined up a 4312 formation at home.

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defenders: Lichsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra.

Midfielders: Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba.

Forward: Morata, Tevez.

Dortmund continued to start 433.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.

Midfielders: Shahin, Mkhitaryan, Kyle.

Forwards: Reus, Mandzukic, Tang Hong.

After the game started, Juventus quickly passed in the midfield, trying to open the situation in the middle.

Compared to Juventus's accumulation of tough guys in the midfield, Dortmund seems a bit softer in comparison.

In the third minute of the game, Vidal made a ball in the middle of the frontcourt to Pogba who was inserted into the back. The latter trolled the ball in front of Shahin and pulled the ball behind him to get rid of it, and then passed the ball out of the pass.

Teves shot at a small angle from the left rib of the penalty area, and Weidenfeller blocked the goal steadily and confiscated the ball.

It was Dortmund's turn to attack, and they mainly played on the wing.

Tang Hong just stopped the ball on the left side of the frontcourt and was attacked by Lichsteiner and Marchisio. He calmly passed the ball to Mkhitaryan who came to meet him, who made an overhead diagonal pass.

Lichsteiner looked back and saw Mandzukici's side response.

Mandzukic passed the ball across the wing after controlling the ball.

Tang Hong had cut inside and rushed to the left side of the penalty area.

When Bonucci stepped forward to intercept, Tang Hong stopped the ball and swung across the crosscut but changed direction and dribbled forward one step.

Bonucci was shaken directly and watched Tang Hong pass by.

Tang Hong also shot from a small angle in the penalty area!

The football shot from his left foot went straight to the far corner of the goal.

Although Buffon was old, he was still agile. He rushed out and hugged the ball with his hands firmly.

He stood up and was about to open the ball quickly, but Tang Hong blocked in front of him and then took a step to the side. Buffon did not dare to kick off the ball with his big foot. Looking at Tang Hong's serious expression, Buffon couldn't help but smile at Tang Hong.

Tang Hong retreated to defense after starting.

It delayed Buffon's kick-off time and won some time for Dortmund to adjust the defense.

Juventus can taste the sweetness in the middle offense, especially with Pirlo in the backcourt organization and dispatch. Dortmund's counter-attack initiated by the front line in the midfield is almost difficult to destroy Juventus' offensive organization.

In the 8th minute of the game, Pogba met Morata in the middle of the frontcourt and directly scored a goal!

This shot was very imposing, but unfortunately the angle was too straight. Weidenfeller blocked the ball with both palms in front of the goal, and Subotic headed the ball on the penalty area and resolved the danger.

Pogba's long-range shots test Dortmund.

Turning around, Tang Hong cut inside the front of the penalty area and responded to Shahin's pass and trolled the ball and cut in a direction and cross-cutting away from Marcisio, and kicked up next to Pirlo.

The football shot from the right foot was rubbed and shot through a pleasing inner arc and fell to the upper right corner of the goal!

Buffon fought his life to perform a world-class save and held the ball high above the crossbar with one hand.

All the fans applauded and cheered.

It's really exciting.

Buffon stood up and looked at Tang Hong from a distance.

This is a direct battle between top scorers and top goalkeepers!

After 15 minutes of the game, the two teams had an offensive against each other. Juventus focused on the strong firepower of the midfield, while Dortmund played well on the wing.

When Vidal suddenly passed the ball diagonally at the front of the penalty area, Morata quickly inserted the ball diagonally into the right side of the penalty area and turned around in the front half of the bottom line and knocked the ball back in front of the door.

Weidenfeller took the lead and swept the ball and cleared it out.

The football flew outside the penalty area but was controlled by Pogba. He shot directly from 30 yards away from the goal!

The football is hung directly on the upper left corner of the goal!

"Wow! Pogba scored a long shot! Juventus won the first goal at home!

Defending champion Dortmund is completely at a disadvantage in the midfield match against Juventus today!

Pogba is proving that he is the most watched superstar in the midfield of this era!

Juventus leads Dortmund 1:0.”

Pogba posed in a unique style to celebrate, and in layman's terms, he began to show off.

It's not an exaggeration to score a goal.

Dortmund's style of play has not changed after the kickoff.

Juventus began to be a little cautious.

The Serie A team can’t even get along well in the wind.

I have been very stable since I was a child, so how can I let him go?

In the 22nd minute of the game, Mandzukic brought a ball to Tang Hong at the front of the penalty area, and the latter shot and shot at the goal outside the penalty area.

Seeing that it was possible to become a world wave, the football flew out of the bottom line while rubbing the outside of the goal post.

The football almost flew into the goal similar to Pogba's long-range shooting trajectory.
