Chapter 250: Klopp was sent to the stands

Royce played with Klopp's latest tactical adjustments, and Dortmund's overall defensive formation shrank.

Tang Zheng partnered with Pirlo to play the midfielder, and Gundogan's position was premised to induce Barcelona to invest more troops in the attack, thus gaining a good opportunity to counterattack.

Where can Guardiola fail to see Klopp's tactical intentions?

Although the game ends with the current score, the team that advances to the semi-finals of the Champions League is still Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona at the Nou Camp can't afford to lose this man and must attack!

But after thinking about it, Dortmund's quick counterattack is extremely efficient. If they blindly increase their offensive strength, will they lose the ball again?

The two penalty kicks before the end of the first half were not awarded because of the referee's hesitation. After the intermission adjustment, no one can be sure of the referee's penalty scale.

After thinking about it, Guardiola decided to maintain the status quo.

It is good to be able to score goals, but there is no way to fail to score goals. After all, most of the players in this game are not in their best condition.

Besides, Dortmund should be anxious if this situation continues. When the time comes to catch the opponent to counterattack, there may be additional surprises.

Sixty minutes into the game, Dortmund coach Klopp standing on the sidelines seemed a little anxious.

The total score is tied, but there are few away goals.

If you want to advance, you must enter another one, otherwise all the previous efforts are useless.

After Royce, who came off the bench, got used to the rhythm of the game, Klopp took advantage of a dead ball and blew his own whistle with both hands. After Tang Zheng looked over, he gave a signal to strengthen the attack.

Immediately, Tang Zheng pulled Jing Duoan to explain a few words.

Dortmund's enhanced attack this time is different from the previous ones, Tang Zheng's forward pressure is very large, from the position of central midfielder to the midfielder.

The premise of Tang Zheng's position is that there is a lot of risk, and it was quickly reflected, because without Gotze's offensive organization, he had to increase his running coverage.

The forward Pirlo or Gundogan are more responsible for the transfer of the offensive direction and temporary support points, which means that Tang Zheng has to complete the offensive organization independently.

Piszczek, who was on the right, received a wide-range long pass from Pirlo. Tang Zheng and Lewandowski entered the penalty area one after the other. Piszczek passed directly to the penalty area without making any adjustments.

Due to the poor control of the power, the football was pushed out by Pique, who was ahead of the game.

Fabregas grabbed the second spot in front of the penalty area and Barcelona got a chance to counterattack.

Tang Zheng was still inside Barcelona's penalty area, and Kuba, who was actively counterattacking from a high position, had no choice but to pull down Harvey who was receiving the ball.

This time he received a yellow card for an obvious tactical foul, Klopp and Tang Zheng who were standing on the sidelines both smelled danger.

But they have no choice, they must attack if they want to advance!

Guardiola sweetly glanced at the scoreboard, and the game time was displayed directly below the 0:2 score.

66'35"

With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Dortmund has significantly increased its offensive force, which is an excellent opportunity for a counterattack.

Although Barcelona's tactics are mainly TIki-Taka, it is also handy to fight back quickly.

He asked his assistant Vilanova to call Villa, who had returned from injury, and wait to play.

Messi, Pedro and Iniesta are not strikers in the traditional sense. At this juncture where goals are needed, a strong striker like Villa is needed.

In the 69th minute, Barcelona made the second substitution adjustment of the game.

No. 7 Villa replaced the slightly tired No. 8 Iniesta.

Barcelona restarted the striker combination that won the Champions League last season-MVP!

Villa is at the top,

It is tantamount to liberating Pedro and Messi.

Their poor performance most of the time is entirely due to the fact that they have to take turns to fill the center position. Otherwise, the central defender combination of Hummels and Subotic can frequently supplement the defense, making it more difficult to launch the offense.

Now that Villa is in this position, they can return to their familiar position when attacking and concentrate on attacking.

Villa's play did bring great changes to Barcelona's offense, but after all, he has just returned from injury, and there is no way to play his best.

It was Dortmund's transition from defense to offense again. Barcelona's high pressure did not break the football, but it slowed down Dortmund's advance speed, and they were able to slowly retreat to the half.

Tang Zheng received a pass from Gundogan in the attacking 30-meter zone, with Cesc Fabregas and Pedro in front of him, one left and one right.

I saw that he pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot to open up the passing space, and then quickly handed the ball to Schmelzer on the outside of his right foot.

Schmelzer knocked Royce back without stopping the ball, and Royce saw that there was no good counter point, so he handed it to Tang Zheng.

In fact, Tang Zheng has no other way now. He received the ball and wanted to pass it back to Pirlo, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lewandowski pulled out to respond.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng decided to pass the ball to Lewandowski.

He made an illusion that he was going to pass the ball to Pirlo, then slammed the ball back with the instep of his right foot, and then flicked the outer instep of his right foot out.

After the pass, he started on the spot and ran laterally from the attacking left rib towards the center.

Lewandowski leaned against Pique, stepped on the football with his right foot, and passed the football towards Tang Zheng's running route.

Fabregas on the inside stretched out his foot and failed to block the football. Tang Zheng, who was running, flicked sideways towards the incoming ball, adjusting in small steps.

There is no good way to attack, but you can try a long shot.

Busquets, who was defending in the middle, saw Tang Zheng's posture subconsciously stepped forward to block, but Tang Zheng swung his right foot and didn't shoot. Si's second reaction was quick, and he stretched his right leg toes to try to clear the siege.

Tang Zheng's connecting movements were quick, and the outer instep of his right foot that had just been buckled back went around to the left side of the football and swiped outward, widening the distance.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Accompanied by the loud boos erupting from the Camp Nou, Tang Zheng continued his extraordinary action, and the inside of the instep of his right foot was thrown towards the football again, and the football rolled towards the space between Pique and Cesc Fabregas.

It is equivalent to saying that Tang Zheng's right foot touched the football three times and changed direction three times in a very short period of time.

One buckle, one dial, another buckle!

Then start on the spot and chase the football.

Fabregas knew that he couldn't let Tang Zheng move forward, so he slightly hooked his outstretched leg upwards, and kicked Tang Zheng's trailing leg.

Tang Zheng, who was running, suddenly lost his center of gravity and staggered forward, but he did not choose to fall to the ground, but used his hands and feet together to stabilize his body and chase after the football.

No one thought that Fabregas's obvious hook did not leave Tang Zheng, so that the Barcelona defense players were a little caught off guard.

Soon, Tang Zheng, who had adjusted his center of gravity, entered the penalty area, and Pique also made up his defense.

Facing Pique, Tang Zheng stepped on a bicycle with both feet.

Pique remained unmoved, Tang Zheng flicked the football to the right with the instep of his right foot, as if to hit the goal.

At this time, Tang Zheng noticed someone approaching from behind him from the corner of his eye, he swung his right foot down quickly, and flicked the ball to the right.

Busquets, who came to defend him, didn't have time to stop his foot, the toe of his right foot just kicked the heel of Tang Zheng's right foot that had just landed...

※※※

The sound of the Camp Nou stadium suddenly decreased, and everyone's attention was turned to the referee Kupes on duty.

"Penalty!!"

Marcel Leff, who was in the commentary on the spot, jumped up and shouted loudly.

The next moment, countless question marks appeared above his head.

Because the referee Kupez's whistle did not sound!

"What? Such an obvious foul and still not blowing?"

"Oh-My-God!! No foul?"

"Didn't the referee see it again? This is a very obvious foul from behind!"

...

The commentators at the live commentary said one after another.

Tang Zheng, who was kicked to the ground, angrily hammered the grass, then jumped up and ran towards the helpless referee Lopez.

At the same time, Pique, who reacted, quickly kicked the football in front of him to Harvey who returned to the top of the penalty area.

Barcelona quickly launched a quick counterattack!

The Nou Camp stadium with the sound lowered once again burst into loud cheers: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo—"

Tang Zheng, who originally wanted to ask the referee for an explanation, saw the football reach Harvey's feet, and he didn't have time to compete with the referee, so he stepped back to defend at full speed.

But how can a person's speed compare to football?

When Tang Zheng caught up with Harvey, he had passed the football to Messi who was in the middle circle.

Three against four!

The MVP combination faced Subotic, Hummels, Piszczek and Pirlo.

Villa's running position is very smart, he is running towards the attacking left rib space between Piszczek and Hummels, which means that he alone attracts the attention of two Dortmund defenders.

Messi with the ball forward and Pedro without the ball faced Pirlo and Subotic respectively.

Pirlo suddenly chose to shovel in the process of retreating, hoping to use a yellow card to alleviate the defensive crisis, but Messi's speed was too fast, and Pirlo shoveled into a cloud of air!

"Oops!"

The tense situation instantly became precarious, three against three!

Villa had already pulled to the left, and Pedro cleverly pulled to the right, making room for Messi.

Messi took the ball to the top of the penalty area, and Piszczek, Hummels and Subotic kept a safe distance and moved closer to the middle.

At this time, Messi passed the ball and passed it to Villa on the left.

Passing power and angles are good, and it's perfectly possible to shoot directly.

Villa swung his right foot towards the football while running, tricking Piszczek to fall to the ground and put a shovel to block it. However, the outer instep of his right foot pushed the football to the right, with a bit of force, and the football rolled To Messi.

Hummels made an emergency stop on the spot, and it was too late to block Messi's shot. He could only watch Messi complete a left-footed shot thirteen yards away.

Facing a shot from such a short distance, Weidenfeller had nothing to do. His fall to the ground did not save the football...

"Messi! Leo Messi!! His goal helped Barcelona narrow the score!"

The Catalan TV commentator shouted almost frantically.

"Barcelona's quick counterattack was very quick and caught Dortmund by surprise! Now the score is 1:2!"

"Messi is Messi! His dribbling, handling and shooting are the best in the world!"

There were commentators who praised Barcelona's attack, and naturally there were also dissatisfied commentators. They did not forget that Barcelona's quick counterattack came from an obvious penalty missed by Dortmund.

One positive and one negative, the gap is very large.

It's like heaven and hell.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was very dissatisfied: "The hesitation of the referee Kupes ruined the game! It may even ruin Dortmund!"

Marcel Leif said more directly: "This is not a fair game! One penalty is not awarded, two penalties are not awarded! It is understandable! Why is the third penalty not awarded? Very incomprehensible !Please tell me why??"

At the same time, Tang Zheng rushed towards the referee Kupes with a ferocious face. He counted the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his left hand in turn, almost roaring: "I need a reasonable explanation, why the one, two, and three obvious fouls in the penalty area are not A penalty? Why? Did you know it would ruin a game?"

Other Dortmund players also gathered around and asked the referee for an explanation.

Dortmund coach Klopp ran to the office of the fourth official. He yelled almost out of control, venting his dissatisfaction with the referee.

This catharsis is not only the lack of penalty for the three penalty kicks in this game, but also the red card and penalty kick at home in the first round. The dissatisfaction of the two games is not as simple as 1+1=2.

Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp don't care what happens before the goal, they just need to know that their team has scored!

The referee's face darkened when he heard Tang Zheng's words, and he took out a yellow card from his trouser pocket and pointed it at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng held his head in both hands, his face full of disbelief.

This yellow card not only did not calm down the Dortmund players, but caused greater dissatisfaction, especially the head coach Klopp.

There was chaos in front of the visiting team's bench, some threw jerseys, some kicked water bottles, venting their strong dissatisfaction with the referee.

Tang Zheng was about to say something to the referee, but he was pushed away by Pirlo and Lewandowski to avoid another yellow card.

If you get another yellow card, the game really has no chance to play.

The goal celebration of the Barcelona players has ended, and the Dortmund players are still surrounding the referee on duty to find an explanation. The Barcelona fans in the stands, fearing that the world will not be chaotic, burst into loud laughter and laughed at the incompetence of the Dortmund players.

Not long after, the referee Kupes received feedback from the fourth official on the sidelines. He bypassed the excited Dortmund players and ran to the fourth official.

After negotiating with the fourth official, he walked towards Dortmund coach Klopp with a sullen face. At the same time, he took out a red card from his trouser pocket with his right hand and showed it to Klopp.

"Oh-My-God!! Red card? The referee Kupes actually sent Dortmund coach Klopp to the stands with a red card!" Marcel Leif was full of disbelief and didn't understand.

"The Dutch referee Kupes was very decisive. He sent Klopp out! Regardless of the result of this game, he will become an indelible part of the history of the Champions League!" Hewe sarcastically said.

"The referee ignored three penalty kicks and now sent off Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp! I strongly recommend that Barcelona advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League!" This is the commentary of German TV station Michael Reti .

Klopp, who received a red card, saw it through. He turned his head and smiled mysteriously at the camera, and gave a high thumbs up. He walked in the direction pointed by the UEFA staff without looking back.
