PETERSBURG,

ST. Nike Air Max 90 Womens Uk . PETERSBURG, Russia -- Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Borussia Dortmund took a big step toward the Champions League quarterfinals with a 4-2 victory at Zenit St. Petersburg on Tuesday. Losing finalists last year, Dortmund made a blistering start with Henrikh Mkhitaryan scoring in the fourth minute and Marco Reus doubling the visitors lead a minute later. Zenit, which hadnt played a competitive game since Dec. 11 due to the Russian winter break, looked rusty, but pulled one back through Oleg Shatov in the 57th. Lewandowski replied four minutes later, after playing a one-two with Poland teammate Lukasz Piszczek. Then Piszczek conceded a penalty and Hulk scored emphatically from the spot in the 69th. Lewandowski responded by scoring his sides fourth away goal two minutes later to leave Dortmund firmly in control before the second-leg of the round-of-16 tie on March 19. "We were close to optimal this evening," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "It was a great game, no question." After more than two months without competitive football, the home side buckled early on under the visitors pressure and struggled to keep up with their quick passing game. The tactics quickly paid off for Dortmund when Reus ran at the Zenit defence, staying on his feet when he might have been awarded a penalty, before Mkhitaryan swept the loose ball past Yuri Lodygin. The visiting fans were still celebrating when Kevin Grosskreutz knocked Mkhitaryans cross back for Reus to volley inside the right post. "We stayed compact. We wanted to pressure them to win back the ball. That was very important," Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl said. "We brought the game in the right direction and made Zenit uncertain." Zenits attacking midfielder Andrey Arshavin went off with what looked a hamstring injury in the 15th minute, and last-gasp defending from its captain Nicolas Lombaerts prevented Lewandowski from getting Dortmunds third shortly afterward. Zenit was let down by sloppy play and nervous defending, with Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, who came on for the injured Arshavin, giving the ball away cheaply to highlight his sides travails. Hulk was fired up but his shot failed to trouble Roman Weidenfeller and his only reward for taking on three Dortmund defenders was a corner, which came to nothing. Lodygin pulled off a good save to deny Lewandowski three minutes after the interval, before Zenit responded with a period of pressure. It finally paid off when Shatov scored in fortuitous fashion. Marcel Schmelzer cleared Hulks effort off the line and Jose Rondon struck the post from the rebound, before the loose ball fell kindly for Shatov to blast home. Dortmund soon replied, with Lewandowski playing a one-two with Poland teammate Lukasz Piszczek and firing beyond Lodygin, who got a touch to the ball. The home side was given a lifeline when Piszczek was adjudged to have fouled Viktor Fayzulin. Hulk duly obliged with his penalty. But Lewandowski provided another immediate response after Tymoshchuk lost possession. Reus sent the ball into the Poland strikers path and he fired inside the far corner for his sixth of the campaign. "I dont have the feeling that it was easy," Klopp said in response to a question from a Russian journalist. "I think we had to work very hard." The game was played with the section normally occupied by Zenits ultra fans closed due to racist behaviour, fireworks and crowd disturbances during a group stage loss at Austria Vienna on Dec. 11. There was also tight security in place around the Petrovsky Stadium to prevent any further trouble. Zenits Italian coach Luciano Spalletti said the tie was not yet decided and that his side still has a chance of going through. "In football theres always a chance of coming back," Spalletti said. "Everything depends on what kind of performance you deliver. It all depends on what you put into it, how much youre prepared to run. It depends on your effort." Nike Air Max 95 Mens Trainers .

I talked to Gabriel: Why do you go fight boxing? He said to me, Why do you go fight MMA? My heart, oh my God. I say, Go play soccer. Its easier, more money. But this is his dream.Silva had every right and reason to take his own advice 13 months ago. The Brazilian fighter who made 10 straight title defences during seven years as the UFCs dominant middleweight champion ended 2013 on his back in the MGM Grand Garden octagon, his lower left leg grotesquely shattered from his kick to new champion Chris Weidmans knee.Yet after roughly nine months of recovery and three more months of training, the 39-year-old Silva will step back into that same octagon in Las Vegas to keep fighting Saturday against Nick Diaz in the pay-per-view main event at UFC 183.The fighter known as the Spider is already widely considered the greatest competitor in his sports history, yet he wants and needs more.Although Silva says the belt no longer motivates him, UFC President Dana White has said a win over the always-entertaining Diaz would likely land Silva another title shot against Weidman or Vitor Belfort, who meet next month in Los Angeles.When I broke my leg, the first thing I said is, I need to go back, Silva said.Indeed, Silva began asking his medical team how quickly he could return to training while he was still in the hospital waiting for surgery on his broken leg. When he was finally cleared to work on his punishing sport, he worried his leg wouldnt have the strength to kick with the brutality necessary to win in the UFC.But he did it anyway, gradually rebuilding his form in his own gym. Nike Air Max 2015 Mens Shoes. His video-game athleticism and topflight boxing skill gradually re-emerged, persuading the UFC to keep Silva in contention.When I start three months ago, my focus is my leg, to get strong, more powerful, Silva said. Now when I train for the fight, its normal. Its the same kick, the same training. Its all normal.Silvas camp says he looks dangerous in training, and he moves with his usual grace whenever the public can see him.He said his challenge has been mostly mental, because when I start the training for balance, my leg (did) not have power, he added. When I not have power, Im scared. But now, everything is good.Silva readily acknowledges the hypocrisy in his determination to fight and his distaste for his sons growing interest in physical sports. After all, the discrepancy has already been pointed out to him by another son, Kalyl.When I go to fight, Kalyl says, Dad, stop, Silva said. You dont need more of this. You fight for a long time. Why? I say, Because this is me. This is my life. I love fighting. I dont fight for money. I fight for the UFC for a long time. I have money for my family. But I fight because I love it.Although he has a comfortable life with his wife and five children in their homes in Brazil and Los Angeles South Bay suburbs, Silva sees his meeting with Diaz as my first fight in the UFC. No matter the result, he intends to keep training and fighting into his 40s, focused on goals that only he can see.And if he gets another shot at the middleweight title, hell take it.The last time I got the belt, I (kept) it for seven years, Silva said. Now, Im working for the UFC. The UFC is my family. After Nick, Ill go and train for my next fight. I dont know if Ill have another chance for the belt, but Dana gives me the chance for the belt, I go fight. I dont know. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale JerseysCheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
