Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 220: The Hanging Door Outside the Great Restricted Area

When Gundogan handed Barrios's return ball to Pirlo who ran up from behind, Bayern players and fans realized that Dortmund was organizing a quick counterattack. ?

Schweinsteiger left the defense zone, Kroos had no choice but to step forward to defend Pirlo, maybe steal the ball?

After all, people have goals.

What if it comes true?

Kroos rushed to the 'old' Pirlo with this idea, hoping to complete the interception, organize a second attack, and complete the lore!

However, Pirlo had a wide vision and noticed that Schweinsteiger did not follow Gundogan closely, but came towards him, obviously trying to form a pincer attack with Kroos.

Pirlo stepped on the football with his right foot, and quickly passed the football back to Gundogan using the time difference.

Schweinsteiger had to turn around and go to defend Gundogan. At the same time, Olić rushed towards Gundogan.

Gundogan didn't panic, and while Pirlo ran forward to take away Kroos' defense, he slammed the football to the right and sideways, shaking Schweinsteiger and Olic.

Gundogan, who had gained space to handle the ball, was about to make a long pass to find Kuba, who was extremely fast, but he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears: "Hey, Ilkay, give it to me!"

Before Gundogan came on the field, head coach Klopp had explained that if Tang Zheng wanted the ball, he must give it to Tang Zheng first.

So Jing Duoan raised his right foot and put it down again, and quickly passed a low and flat ball.

Pirlo, who happened to be on the trajectory of the ball, ran towards the football, tricked Kroos into a forward, and then he cleverly let the football roll over his toes.

Although Pirlo's fake action seems ordinary, it has a vital effect on Dortmund's counterattack.

In the process of running forward, Tang Zheng used the arch of his right foot to push the ball forward with great force, because there was a large vacuum in front of him.

"—Opportunity!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said excitedly.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Don takes the ball forward! As Bayern's nemesis, will he help Dortmund complete the lore before the end of the game?"

Tang Zheng's stride made this fast counterattack extremely clear. Bayern left back Prasic didn't dare to step forward to defend, so he could only follow Kuba's running direction and run back.

Dortmund's current midfield combination is not generally capable of long passing, especially Tang Zheng and Pirlo.

Cross rate is already slow, Tang Zheng rate is fast, and he has a pair of big legs, the distance between the two will only increase, Schweinsteiger is still behind, and he is not good at speed.

In other words, Tang Zheng's big stride directly faced Bayern Munich's four-man defense.

No matter if it was Boateng or Budstuber defending Barrios, they didn't dare to defend Tang Zheng forward, because Tang Zheng's foot skills were very good, and reckless going forward would only leave a huge gap.

So Bayern Munich's entire defense line followed Dortmund's offensive line and fought and retreated. Tang Zheng, who was advancing with the ball, was temporarily unmarked.

Three against four! !

Barrios consciously pulled Boateng to run to the far end, and Kuba led Planic to run to the right, making room for Tang Zheng to dribble.

"Shhhhhhh—"

Deafening boos erupted from the sky above the Allianz Arena. The Bayern fans wanted to use this method to interfere with Tang Zheng's dribbling, forcing him to make undue mistakes.

But would Tang Zheng do this?

The answer is of course no!

As Bayern's nemesis, he scored 11 goals in eight games and averaged one goal per game. It can be said that he will have a feeling of exhaustion when playing Bayern.

How could it be wrong?

Tang Zheng dribbled the ball across the center line without anyone marking him.

Bayern head coach Heynckes stood on the sidelines and excitedly called the frontcourt players to actively return to the defense. At the same time, he stepped forward to put pressure on Tang Zheng, who had no defensive responsibilities for the time being.

He had a hunch that Dortmund's quick counterattack would pose a huge threat!

In Heynckes' heart, Tang Zheng is the kind of player who can pass, lead and attack. If he keeps fighting and retreating, the threat will definitely be greater. It is better to put more pressure on the defense line.

However, the idea is good, but it is a headache to implement.

Due to Barrios' ghostly running position, Boateng had no way to narrow the distance between him and Budstuber, so he couldn't complete an effective supplementary defense after Tang Zheng broke through.

With this in mind, Bud Stubel had no choice but to play a trick.

While approaching Tang Zheng, he kept a safe distance, no matter whether Tang Zheng broke through or passed the ball next, he had room to make up for it.

※※※

Soon, Tang Zheng crossed the center line, then dribbled the ball to the 45-meter area of ​​attack and lowered his speed. Budstuber chose to fight and retreat two meters away, keeping a safe distance.

Of course, it was impossible for Tang Zheng to go on at this speed, otherwise the chance to counterattack quickly would be gone.

He is waiting for his teammates to move.

Kuba suddenly made an emergency stop while running along the right sideline, and ran laterally one step ahead.

Tang Zheng's upper body shifted to the left, and Budstuber thought that Tang Zheng wanted to force a breakthrough, so there was an early shift in the center of gravity.

As a result, Tang Zheng snapped his right ankle, and the arch of his foot pushed the football to Kuba who opened up the inward cutting space on the right side.

Budstuber's slow turning rate was fully exposed at this time, while Tang Zheng's tall legs, long legs, strong explosive power and fast rate were fully reflected.

In addition, Tang Zheng was heading in the direction of Bayern's goal, so he didn't have time to turn around.

Budstuber, who has a high golf quotient, wanted to get close to Tang Zheng immediately, but Tang Zheng consciously distanced himself from each other, so he had to change his defensive strategy and chose to run towards the arc top of the penalty area.

Kuba is extremely fast, but he also has a fatal flaw, that is, the technique under his feet is not delicate enough.

In order to keep the football under his feet, his speed was forced to slow down.

Planic, who was not slow at all, chased back after losing the opportunity. Kuba had to use his body to isolate Planic and wait for his teammates to support him.

Barrios got stuck in front of Boateng with his experience, just at this time Kuba passed the ball over. Boateng, who had already carried a yellow card on his back, did not dare to make obvious movements behind him, so he could only rely on his body to stick to Barry Oss, don't let him take advantage of the opportunity to wipe into the penalty area.

But Barrios didn't mean to take the ball and wipe it inside, but poured the football back to Kuba who opened up the space.

Plinic put his left arm on Kuba's shoulder to prevent him from cutting into the penalty area with the ball, even if he paid a yellow card. After all, he is now worthless and has no yellow card pressure.

However, Kuba didn't take advantage of his speed to forcibly cut inside, he kicked the football back to Tang Zheng who was responding with the arch of his right foot.

"Oh~ how did Tang appear here?" Michael Reidy, a commentator of German TV 2, looked at Tang Zheng appearing in the rebroadcast camera, and said very surprised.

If the question in the stands hears this sentence, it will definitely be explained in this way.

Tang Zheng's running position was very concealed. He pretended to increase his running position towards the far end, forcing Budstuber to fill in the vacancy left by the movement of right center back Boateng.

At the moment Budstuber was running at full speed, Tang Zheng slammed on the spot and slammed on the brakes, and then ran in the opposite direction.

The problems of high inertia and slow turning speed caused by Budstuber's tall horse were fully exposed, he could only watch helplessly as Tang Zheng received the ball and stepped forward.

By this time, Boateng had no choice. He handed Barrios to the recovered captain Lahm, and then stepped forward to defend Tang Zheng.

At the same time, there were louder boos at the Allianz Arena, dying.

Dortmund coach Klopp leaned his entire upper body into the pitch, stood on tiptoes, and looked at Tang Zheng who was catching the ball.

Wenger in the stands was thinking, what would Tang Zheng do?

Goalkeeper Neuer lowered his body's center of gravity, took small steps with his feet on the spot, and was ready to make a save at any time.

In addition, considering that Tang Zheng scored a goal every season, Neuer's position was not as high as before, but was close to the right post on the small penalty area line, blocking the near corner.

The place where Tang Zheng caught the ball was only about twenty-five meters away from the goal, leaning to the right rib. He looked up at the goalkeeper Neuer's position, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, followed by an evil grin at the corner of his mouth.

The distance between the football and Tang Zheng was just right, Boateng didn't dare to pounce on him, but kept a certain distance.

This also happened to give Tang Zheng plenty of time to prepare, he made small adjustments in his running.

Seeing this action, who didn't know that Tang Zheng was about to shoot?

Boateng couldn't control that much anymore, he took steps to shorten the distance between them.

Neuer also lowered his body's center of gravity, pacing back and forth in place, like a spring squeezed to the extreme.

Seeing that the instep of Tang Zheng's right foot was about to touch the football, Boateng fell to the ground to block it, expanding the defensive area.

And Neuer stared wide-eyed, staring intently at Tang Zheng's right instep.

"Shoot!!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, almost roared with passion and indignation.

※※※

Neuer's eyes were fixed, he saw that Tang Zheng's right foot hit the ball on the instep, and the ball hit the middle of the football.

Is this... a ground ball?

Judging from the swinging direction of Tang Zheng's swinging legs, close angle?

Out of conditioned reflex, Neuer's body center of gravity naturally tilted to the left.

The next moment, Neuer's pupils shrank sharply, and the toes of his left foot tiptoed towards the grass, forcibly restraining the shift of the body's center of gravity to the left, and then used the bursting force to cooperate with his right foot to move to the right side of the body.

"Oh-my-god!!" German sky commentator Marcel Leif looked at the football slowly rising into the air, and exclaimed: "Again? A lob?"

The camera went back to one second before, Tang Zheng seemed to touch the ball on the instep of his right foot, but in fact he used the flexibility of his ankle to push the ball outwards, and the ball touched the ball from the instep to the inside of the instep.

In addition, the hitting part also kicks to the middle and lower part of the football with the change of the touching part.

Neuer deserves to be Germany's No. 1 national goalkeeper, with first-class physical fitness, top responsiveness, and top-level goal-line technology!

All attention is on the football in mid-air and on Neuer.

Another football and goalkeeper race.

Last time it was before the end of the first half, and this time it was before the end of the second half.

Neuer, who was on the move, felt extremely depressed and cursed secretly.

Tm.d is really addictive!

If Tang Zheng scored two goals in a game, Neuer could immediately think of how the reporters would write tomorrow's headlines after the game.

All kinds of doubts and pressure must come to my face!

So... this ball cannot be lost!

As Neuer was moving to the right back, his right foot tiptoed to the ground, and the whole person rose into the air, and his waist and abdomen were pushed upward at the same time, which made his right hand extend a few centimeters upward.

"Pounced!"

German TV 2 commentator Michael Letti watched Neuer, who jumped to the extreme in the broadcast camera, rubbed the football up with the fingertip of his right middle finger. It was just this way that the football deviated from the original track and hit the crossbar. , he roared excitedly.

The Allianz Arena suddenly burst into deafening shouts: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The chants lasted less than half a second, however, as the ball bounced off the crossbar again.

At this time, Neuer had just landed, and he had no way to make a second save, but Barrios, who was hiding in front of the door, rushed over like a shark smelling blood.

It was too late for Neuer to make a second save. Barrios kicked his feet to the ground while running, his upper body dived forward, and made a diving dive to the top of the bouncing football.

The football flew in the opposite direction from Neuer's attack. Barrios did not immediately celebrate the goal, but looked at the assistant referee.

Lahm, Neuer, and Planic all raised their hands to indicate that Barrios, who had completed a supplementary shot, was offside first, but the assistant referee did not raise the side flag to indicate that Barrios was offside, but raised his left hand horizontally towards the center line. Raise the side flag.

In other words... no offside!

For the offside penalty, the assistant referee has absolute authority, and the referee Stark whistles to indicate that the goal is valid.

Tang Zheng, who didn't directly score the goal, rushed towards Barrios who got up, and behind him was Kuba who rushed over...

At the same time, Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said excitedly: "No offside! The lore! Barrios' supplementary shot helped Dortmund turn the score before the end of the game! 2:1!!"

The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena lost all their voices in an instant, and the Dortmund fans who had been expecting the goal for a long time cheered hysterically. They waved their arms almost crazily, celebrating that the team scored again before the end of the game!

Klopp, who leaned over the sideline with his upper body, turned around and hugged his assistant Zelico Buvac excitedly, and then punched his signature combination.

Bayern coach Heynckes, who was already extremely nervous, kicked the water bottle at his feet angrily, venting his dissatisfaction with the team conceding the ball before the end of the game.

Although the goal was not scored by Bayern's nemesis Tang Zheng, if it weren't for his unrestrained lob shot from outside the penalty area that day, Neuer would not have made a mistake in catching the ball, and it is even more impossible for Barrios to get the chance to score an empty goal.

Marcel Leif gave Tang Zheng all the credit for Dortmund's goal. He said: "From intercepting Robben's shot in the penalty area in front of the goal to rushing all the way to Bayern's defensive half, every time it appears in the camera It's all critical to the extreme!"

Indeed, one in and one out is equivalent to two goals.

He... deserved it! 8
