Midfielder Ruler

In the second half, Borussia Dortmund used their housekeeping skills. Their high-position pressing tactics defeated the home team at the San Siro Stadium; looking at the lineup of A Milan, the youngest player turned out to be K. Boateng in 1987. Originally the oldest player It was Seedorf in the end, and now it is Abbiati and Van Bommel in 1977. .

Dortmund is different. The youngest is Gotze, who was under 20 years old in 1992, and the oldest is Weidenfeller in 1980.

But considering that the goalkeeper's peak period is relatively long, and most goalkeepers who perform well are in this age group, in fact, the oldest player in Dortmund is the right back Piszczek, who is 26 years old.

Twenty-six years old is the golden age in career, with body, technology and experience.

The average age of Dortmund's players is 229 years old, 221 years old if goalkeeper Weidenfeller is not included.

In contrast, Milan, the average age on the field is 281 years old.

The average age difference between the two teams is 52 years.

Although it seems that the gap is not particularly large, even in terms of average age, A Milan is more important, but in terms of running ability, they are more than a star and a half behind.

Moreover, Serie A teams have never been good at their feet, they are better at defensive counterattacks.

The most typical one is AC Milan in the 2006-207 season. It was with this tactic that they won the last Champions League championship of the Serie A team.

With the development of world football, and based on Barcelona winning the Champions League twice in three years and Spain winning the European Cup and World Cup one after another, technical play is the future, and Milan's tactical play is slightly outdated.

Now this Dortmund team not only has strong running ability, but also has strong midfield technical ability, and the small-scale cooperation is better than Barcelona.

a Milan wanted to play their quick counterattack, but Dortmund's high pressure forced them to have no extra time to observe and think about the counterattack, and even if they moved slower, they would lose control of the football.

The narrator on Italian National Television shook his head and said, "Perhaps... this is tactical suppression!"

Ibrahimovic's tactics of pulling the side to control the football through his excellent body are quite effective at the beginning, but with the help of central defender Hummels or Sven Bender, Ibrahimovic wants to It is very difficult to control the football and wait for teammates to support.

And his most ideal result is to use his rich experience in the game to get a free kick in the frontcourt and alleviate the team's troubles.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic in trouble, Robinho was the hope at the San Siro.

Robinho's technique is very delicate, but his shortcoming is very obvious, that is, his poor confrontation ability, as long as there is a slight physical contact, it is difficult for him to maintain control of the football.

a Milan did not play their own characteristics under the cheers of the home fans. On the contrary, Dortmund, who was a guest, played like a duck to water.

In the 54th minute, the broadcaster showed the ball possession ratio of both sides of the game. Dortmund as a guest led with 58% and the home team a Milan with 42%, which was infinitely close to 40-60.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray is very helpless about this data: "The aging of Milan's players on the field restricts them from achieving better results, especially Van Bommel. His running ability increases and decreases too obviously with age... ..."

Allegri naturally saw this,

It seemed that he didn't have a better card in his hand, so he had to make do with it.

Flamini is younger and more athletic, but Van Bommel has more experience.

This is even more important with Seedorf's unforced end.

An old house where a treasure.

Just as important as Pirlo was in Dortmund.

However, in the second half of Dortmund, as Tang Zheng adapted to the original b2b style of play, Milan's defensive pressure became more and more intense.

※※※

a Milan's defensive pressure has increased, and dangers frequently occur in front of the goal.

Allegri was thinking, how about stabilizing the defensive situation before considering scoring?

This idea was automatically denied as soon as it appeared in his mind, because this is the San Siro Stadium, the home court of Milan, how can the visiting team be allowed to show off their power here?

Dortmund's offensive was quite fierce during this period, and the fans in the stands were very dissatisfied with this. They no longer booed the visiting team.

They didn't even make any noise when the home team was attacking. They used this to express their dissatisfaction with the team.

The only thing that satisfies the fans of the home team is that Dortmund has the advantage but has not expanded the score for a long time.

In the 63rd minute of the game, a Milan made the second substitution adjustment of the game, and Shalawi, who had a certain breakthrough ability on the wing, replaced K Boateng.

Allegri's substitution idea is obvious, that is, he hopes that Robinho and Shalawi can create opportunities on the wing, and then the Swedish god Taibrahimovic will make the final decision.

Three minutes later, Shalawi, who lost to Götze in last year's European Golden Boy Awards, found a chance on the left side of the attack. He was violated by the defending Sven Bender in the inside cut and helped Milan get a direct free kick in a good position. Chance.

The distance given by the broadcaster is 28 meters, and the position is slightly to the left, which is suitable for right-footed players.

Immediately, the commentator of the Italian National TV had expectations: "Zlatan, Mark and Robinho all have a good set kick. I think... this is a great opportunity to turn passive into active!"

After discussing, Van Bommel left the penalty area, leaving only Robinho and Ibrahimovic standing at the foul spot.

Before the game, Weidenfeller learned from the goalkeeper coach Kopke that Ibrahimovic had a direct free kick about 30 meters away from the goal.

As for Robinho standing next to Ibrahimovic, he is not worried, because Ibrahimovic has a higher status in the team. In this kind of direct free kick with a chance of scoring, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who claims to be God, will not give up easily.

Therefore, goalkeeper Weidenfeller feels pressure. After all, the team gains power at this time and does not score.

Very troublesome.

Even if the free kick was 28 meters away from the goal, Weidenfeller didn't dare to neglect, he completely pushed out the five-man wall!

The fans of the home team at the San Siro Stadium slowly began to react, especially when the referee blew his whistle, they looked intently at Ibrahimovic who was about to take a set kick.

When the team is in trouble, the most reliable thing is not the team's offense, but the individual performance of the stars.

In the entire Milan team, only Zlatan Ibrahimovic can change the situation with his personal ability.

Tang Zheng didn't become a wall, he had a more important task, which was to prevent Robinho from passing the ball.

Mexes and Van Bommel are both tall and have a strong ability to grab points, so they have to be defended.

In terms of the human wall, there are Lewandowski, Royce, Sven Bender, Piszczek and Subotic, which is quite reassuring.

However, what Tang Zheng didn't expect was that the quality of Ibrahimovic's direct free kick was too high.

After the football flew over Piszczek's head, there was an obvious drop. Even though the goalkeeper Weidenfeller moved at the first time, compared with the speed at which the football flew, his movement speed was still slow...

With the football hanging straight to the upper left corner of the goal, the San Siro stadium boiled instantly!

"goooooooooooooooooooa1—"

The Italian national TV commentator followed the loud shouts from the fans and elongated his voice excitedly.

※※※

From an objective point of view, Ibrahimovic's direct free kick is very beautiful, a typical Ibrahimovic goal.

Big power, tricky angle!

The epee has no front!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored a goal, fully released the pleasure brought by the goal when the audience was passive. He ran to the stands holding up his huge poster and took off his shirt excitedly, revealing his strong muscles .

"Zlatan! Zlatan! Zlatan!!"

The Milan fans in the stands chanted Zlatan Ibrahimovic's name tacitly.

Of course, Ibrahimovic's undressing celebration also got him a yellow card.

The relevant rules and regulations of FIFA clearly stipulate that players are not allowed to take off their clothes to celebrate after scoring a goal, otherwise they will be served with a yellow card.

The referee's approach was in line with the relevant FIFA system, but it aroused strong dissatisfaction from the fans at the scene. He was booed by all Milan fans.

Dortmund was equalized by the home team a Milan under the excellent situation, and the players on the field felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller hammered the turf angrily, while expressing his dissatisfaction with himself, he also vented that the frontcourt players did not seize the opportunity.

As the field captain, Tang Zheng perfectly demonstrated his value at this time.

Facing his teammates who were relatively depressed, he first slapped his palms hard, and then shouted at them: "Brothers, this is just our round of competition in the Champions League 1/8 finals, a draw, and not without a loss, besides... …They are so passive and can score goals, so why can't we come back again when we are extremely superior? We are Dortmund! Dortmund is invincible!"

After all, Tang Zheng took advantage of the fact that the Milan players were excitedly celebrating the goal and quickly grabbed Gundogan, Gotze, Reus and Lewandowski.

"Let's kick off later, that's it..."

a Milan's celebratory goal didn't last long. As a giant, they can't just pursue this point. Taking advantage of the victory and chasing the score is the kingly way!

Allegri is very satisfied with his substitutions and adjustments, and the substitutions are like changing knives, with immediate results.

Shalawi's playing helped the team create good opportunities. If the last substitution adjustment is made, will it reverse the score?

Sitting at the San Siro Stadium and drawing against Dortmund is a bit ugly. Only by winning can we make a difference!

However, the last substitution adjustment cannot be used too early, otherwise, once Seedorf's accidental injury occurs, it will be troublesome...

The 1:1 score was maintained until 80 minutes, and it was the last time!

The game was announced to resume under the referee's whistle, and Lewandowski kicked the football to Reus.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had just scored and rushed to Royce like he was on steroids.

But Royce didn't stick the ball, he directly hit Tang Zheng outside the center circle, and then ran to the right according to Tang Zheng's request before kick-off, without looking back.

In addition, Shalawi, who made an outstanding contribution to the team when he was on the field, rushed towards Tang Zheng on the spot, trying to form a circle with Zlatan Ibrahimovic who had completed the change of direction.

However, in the live broadcast, the corner of Tang Zheng's mouth curved into an arc, and at the same time, he slammed the ball to the left with his right foot, opening up space.

Ibrahimovic is tall, long-legged and strong, so mobility is a problem, and he has been running for more than an hour, which consumes a lot of energy. His aggressive arrogance appears to be foolhardy in Tang Zheng's light smash.

Shalawi had just entered the stage, full of energy, turned a corner and rushed towards Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng noticed Shalawi impulsively approaching from the corner of his eye, but he didn't look up directly.

This created an illusion for Shalawi, Tang Zheng was observing the positions of his teammates and ignored his own approach.

With a bright vision for the future, Shalawi stretched out his right foot to break the ball under Tang Zheng's feet while running.

At this moment, Tang Zheng moved, and the toe of his right foot tapped lightly.

It seemed very light, but Shalawi's face changed drastically.

Because...the football slipped between his legs.

"Little—" He Wei, the narrator of Central 5, was about to say "be careful", but Tang Zheng completed a wonderful pass through the crotch, and his voice rose an octave: "Beautiful!!"

Emmanuel Sen was at the front, and he rushed towards Tang Zheng without hesitation.

Tang Zheng, who started on the spot, made an illusion that he was going to cooperate with Götze in the left front. Emmanuelsen's body center of gravity obviously shifted to the left ahead of time, and Tang Zheng flicked the football to the right with the outer instep of his right foot , Emmanuelsen wanted to stretch out his feet to kick the ball again, but his legs seemed to be too short to use up, and he watched Tang Zheng make a breakthrough.

At this time, Tang Zheng also crossed the center line and came to Nocerino's defense zone.

He didn't know what to choose, Tang Zheng helped him, and the football passed to Goetze's feet.

Lewandowski moved forward to take away the attention of Mexes and Thiago Silva, which is tantamount to saying that only Nocerino and the late Van Bommel are left before the central defender.

Abate pays attention to Gotze's dynamics, Van Bommel sticks to the defense zone and has no intention of going forward, and Nocerino has to get stuck in Gotze's inside angle.

The situation is changing rapidly, especially in the top competitions of the Champions League, there is no extra time for thinking.

Moreover, Gotze didn't give Nocerino a chance to get close. He swung his upper body forward and pulled the football back with the sole of his right foot to open up the passing space. The football reached Tang Zheng's feet again.

Tang Zheng didn't take the ball in a straight line, but used the outside of his instep to stride the ball forward to the right.

In this case, Van Bommel had to pay attention to Tang Zheng.

Because Nocerino has a certain space distance from Tang Zheng, and this distance needs time to make up, but Tang Zheng does not give him this opportunity.

As the last midfielder, Van Bommel had to leave the defense zone and defend Tang Zheng.

Considering Tang Zheng's speed, Van Bommel didn't dare to rush forward. He was humiliated by Tang Zheng when he was playing for Bayern in the past, and his memory is still fresh!

Therefore, the chosen defensive strategy is to fight and retreat.

Royce's forward drive forced Antonini to be unable to move forward. Van Bommel was isolated and helpless. Left center back Mexes and Thiago Silva looked at each other and stepped forward to assist Van Bommel.

Seeing that Tang Zheng was about to enter the 30-meter zone, there was a loud exclamation from the San Siro Stadium.

From the perspective of the home fans, Dortmund actually played four against six!

They suddenly had an ominous premonition, could it be... Dortmund is going to counterattack in a flash?
