Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 252: 10 Centimeters

In stoppage time, Dortmund won a corner kick, and all players over 1.8 meters ran into the Barcelona penalty area, trying to score another goal at the last minute.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller was positioned very high and came to the center circle of his own side, but he did not dare to go to the Barcelona penalty area.

Because there are still more than two minutes before the end of the game time, if he directly participates in a direct corner kick, an unguarded goal is tantamount to being ravaged.

Messi stands in front of the arc top of his own penalty area, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Schmelzer, who has a certain speed but no obvious height advantage, cruises around Messi to prevent the fast counterattack of Barcelona's defensive corner kick.

The narrow Barcelona penalty area, a rectangle with a length of 40.3 meters and a width of 16.5 meters, is almost filled with all the players of the two teams.

Among them, the penalty area where Tang Zheng was located was like a pair of hugs in a boxing match. Before the corner kick was taken, the players from both sides were entangled.

Tang Zheng's ability to snatch points was very strong, and Pique took advantage of the angle that the referee couldn't see, from time to time he pushed his knees down on the muscles of the back of his thighs to interfere.

Tang Zheng couldn't help it, he turned around and gave Pique a hard look.

Pique didn't hesitate, he held his head high, staring straight into Tang Zheng's eyes.

His purpose was to irritate Tang Zheng, even if Tang Zheng couldn't get a yellow card, he would have to lose his composure.

Tang Zheng, who has no sense of normalcy, will continue to reduce his threat to Barcelona!

Immediately, Pirlo took a corner kick, and Tang Zheng was about to fight for the top.

But the referee's whistle sounded.

It turned out that Lewandowski and Keita had a quarrel, and the two were like angry bulls, head to head.

Dortmund players know that time is money, and quickly pulled Lewandowski away to calm him down quickly.

The referee Kupes had to follow the rules and regulations. He called Lewandowski and Keita aside and educated each other before releasing them back into the penalty area.

In the blink of an eye, half a minute passed.

Time is running out!

Chinese fans thousands of miles away can hear the nervousness of the central 5 commentator He Wei: "There are still two minutes left, and all Barcelona retreat. Whether Dortmund can retain the hope of advancing to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League depends on this corner kick attack……"

As soon as the words fell, Pirlo took a corner kick again.

The football flew to the middle, while Tang Zheng raised his head to observe the trajectory of the football, he took the initiative to lean towards Pique.

This will prevent Pique from playing tricks at close range, at most pulling a jersey or something.

Besides, Tang Zheng played two seasons in Ajia, and his understanding of small movements is much more thorough than that of Pique, and he has never been a player who is willing to suffer silently.

Before he bent his knees and took off, his left elbow used his body to cover Pique's left rib.

Pique, who was about to take off, was suddenly discouraged, and it was too late to try to take off.

Tang Zheng plucked the onion from the dry land and leaped high.

Pique, who was two years older, could only watch Tang Zheng complete the jump, and...

"Don—" Marcel Leif's voice suddenly increased: "You jumped really high!!"

At the same time, the Nou Camp Stadium also burst into a huge exclamation: "Whoa--"

In their eyes, Tang Zheng jumped really high!

The attention of more than 90,000 fans in the audience was all attracted by Tang Zheng, he jumped higher than all the jumping players! ! !

Immediately, the astonished Marcel Leif looked like a deflated ball.

Because Tang Zheng, who appeared in the lower left corner of the broadcast camera, seemed to jump too early, and the football hadn't flown over yet.

In the blink of an eye, Marcel Leif's mood changed again,

With his mouth half open, his face was full of disbelief.

The same feeling is shared by players from both sides in the penalty area, fans from both sides in the stands, fans in front of the TV...

That's all!

Even Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola, who was standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, widened his eyes in surprise.

Tang Zheng opened his arms naturally to maintain his balance, like a helicopter parked in mid-air, waiting for a football.

"Ooh-oh--"

A louder exclamation sounded from the sky above the Camp Nou.

※※※

Tang Zheng leaped high, and the corner kick from Pirlo arrived as planned, hitting Tang Zheng's forehead precisely.

Tang Zheng in the high-definition camera was holding his breath, his concentration was very concentrated, and his left knee drove his hips to twist upwards to exert force.

Twist your waist, shake your belly!

The textbook-like lion shook his head and pushed the football to the upper right corner of the goal.

Everyone's attention quickly shifted from Tang Zheng to the football with a certain parabola in midair.

Goalkeeper Valdez moves quickly, from the center of the goal to the left.

Catalan TV commentator exclaimed: "—Victor!!"

The exclamation erupting from the Nou Camp Stadium was instantly reduced to the minimum, because most of Barcelona's hearts were raised in their throats.

Tang Zheng's first scoring goal was almost at this position, and they were worried that history would repeat itself!

At this moment, Valdez's vigorous figure appeared in the middle of the camera. He stretched out his left arm and rubbed his fingertips upwards. The football that should have entered the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar was pushed out of the crossbar by him.

However, Valdés fell into the net because of his excessive charge, looking extremely embarrassed.

But he didn't feel any other unnecessary emotions, he just felt the excitement from his heart at this time.

He has done a good job!

Catalan TV commentator turned grief into joy: "Victor Valdez has done a good job!!"

Alves and Adriano pulled Valdes from the door.

After Valdez got up from the goal, he raised his arms and shouted, as if he had scored a goal!

"—Victor!"

There was a tidy chants at the Camp Nou as the Barcelona fans supported Valdés with their actions.

"Tang Zheng jumped high! Huh? It seemed to be jumping too early? No! Not too early! He was like a helicopter waiting for the football in mid-air! Headed the goal! The ball - didn't go in? Valdez will The ball came out! Unbelievable!" He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, seemed to have knocked over a five-flavored bottle.

The frenzied atmosphere at Camp Nou heated up quickly because of Valdés' god-level save. Tang Zheng, who hadn't scored a goal, pulled his hair tightly with both hands, his face full of disbelief.

The facial expressions of the Dortmund players in the penalty area were even more exaggerated than Tang Zheng. Some of them clasped their hands together, some were dumbfounded, some looked up at the sky, and some even doubted life...

Although the Dortmund fans in the third-tier stands couldn't see the situation in the Barcelona penalty area, they could feel the ecstasy of the Barcelona fans.

It is equivalent to saying that the goal missed Dortmund again.

"No! What a pity!!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray was also lamenting for Dortmund.

"Yeah, what a pity!"

There was no extra time for the Dortmund players to regret, and the on-site director did not have time to give a slow-motion replay. Pirlo took another offensive right corner kick.

With Tang Zheng's threatening header before, most of the attention of Barcelona's corner kick defense was on Tang Zheng, so that Hummels and Subotic, a pair of central defenders over 1.9 meters, could not people to defend.

Hummels leaped high without being marked, fully exerted his strength, and shook his head to attack the goal.

There was another loud exclamation at the scene.

But soon, the voice dropped again, and cheers sounded with lingering fear.

It was not Valdés who saved Barcelona this time, but Adriano, standing next to the right post, and he pushed the ball to the side of the penalty area.

Keita has a sharp eye and a quick head, taking the first step to push the football out of the bottom line.

Another corner kick!

※※※

The neutral fans sitting in front of the TV are thrilled because they have no position, but those who have a position are frightened from time to time.

Dortmund grabbed two consecutive corner kicks, which somewhat dissatisfied Guardiola, who stood on the sidelines and roared.

In fact, Busquets' red card end basically means that Barcelona's air defense capabilities have been minimized.

The atmosphere at Camp Nou is still frenetic, and the players' attention is all on the game, and there is no extra thought on the sidelines at all. It is tantamount to saying that Guardiola's venting has been useless.

At this time, the on-site director suddenly switched to the Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller standing in the middle circle.

It turned out that he had been instructed by acting head coach Zeliko Buvac to take part in a corner kick!

Two consecutive corner kicks took more than a minute, which means that there is not much time left in the game, and we must race against time!

Dortmund is still one goal away from renewing their lives. Since there is not much time left, there is no need to care about whether the goal is lost or not. Anyway, standing is waiting to die, why not give it a try?

Central 5 commentator He Wei was both excited and looking forward to it: "With the last minute left in the game, goalkeeper Weidenfeller also ran into the penalty area of ​​Barcelona. Can Dortmund create a miracle?"

At the same time, Tang Zheng made a gesture towards Pirlo that only his teammates could understand, and then pulled Lewandowski, Subotic, Hummels and Perisic towards the baseline .

The noise made at the scene was very loud, Tang Zheng raised his voice, and made a long story short: "Barcelona's attention is on me..."

Halfway through the speech, the referee Kupes blew his whistle to urge Tang Zheng to speak faster.

In the end, Tang Zheng glanced at everyone, then clapped his palms, and said provocatively: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared! The team that advances to the semi-finals must be our Dortmund team!"

Lewandowski and others did not yell, but the eyes that seemed to be on fire could explain something.

They... looking forward to the lore!

Weidenfeller came to the penalty area to participate in the corner kick competition, and Messi did not stay at the forefront.

There is still one minute left in the game, and the team itself has one less player. If the ball is lost due to insufficient defensive numbers, there is no place to cry.

The frenzied atmosphere at Camp Nou came to the most tense moment of the game. Fans on both sides subconsciously put down what they were doing, held their breath, and waited for Dortmund's corner kick.

The penalty area was originally that big, but now it is equivalent to squeezing in a full twenty people, blocking the middle of the goal.

Tang Zheng ran towards the penalty spot, and then consciously made a signal signal to Pirlo, meaning to let his corner kick go to the forward point.

The Barcelona players didn't know the meaning of the code, they simply thought that Tang Zheng wanted to finish the final blow.

In fact, thinking about it is also true, Tang Zheng is a Dortmund star-level star, and he should naturally step forward at critical moments, so the attention of many Barcelona players in the penalty area is on Tang Zheng.

Of course, it's just attention.

After all, there are so many Dortmund players in the penalty area, and they all went to defend Tang Zheng, what about the others?

Just now Hummels successfully competed for the top is a bloody lesson.

Just as Pirlo took two steps back, the players from both sides in the penalty area got entangled together, and they turned their backs.

The referee Kupes had to blow his whistle to warn both players.

More than ten seconds later, he hooked his finger towards Pirlo, indicating that he could take a corner kick.

Tang Zheng, Hummels, Subotic and Lewandowski are the four key targets for Barcelona to mark. At least two Barcelona players in the area have called in advance to watch each other.

But when Pirlo raised his right hand to reply to the signal, the Barcelona players in the penalty area became extremely panicked in an instant. How could they care about the previous greeting?

Don't ask for meritorious service, but ask for no faults!

Pirlo took the first step, and Tang Zheng, who was originally standing in the middle, took a step towards the small restricted area.

Pique hastily tugged towards Tang Zheng's jersey, and started it at the same time.

Immediately, Tang Zheng stopped abruptly on the spot, and then suddenly ran back with his outstanding explosive power.

Pique's heart thumped, and it was too late to grab Tang Zheng's jersey with his right hand.

Tang Zheng was the core player in Dortmund's set-piece attack. His running easily swayed Pique away, which shocked the surrounding Barcelona.

Mascherano, who was defending Lewandowski, and Keita, who was defending Hummels, all focused on Tang Zheng.

In their hearts, they all knew that Tang Zheng was the most dangerous person.

At this time, Pirlo took a corner kick.

Tang Zheng, who was thrown out of space, made another sudden stop, bypassed the two players from the middle, and ran forward.

And the football is flying forward!

The Camp Nou erupted in loud exclamations.

Mascherano and Keita were thankful that they had full attention and noticed Tang Zheng's escape.

But... they always feel that something is wrong.

The football landed too close to the side of the small penalty area, and there was almost no shooting angle, and Tang Zheng's running direction did not look like a direct header.

A second later, the answer was revealed.

Tang Zheng wasn't trying to compete for the header, but...the header kicked back.

Suddenly, the Barcelona defenders in the penalty area were overwhelmed and anxious.

Not to mention that Tang Zheng's running attracted Pique's attention, even the few high points Mascherano and Keita were attracted to the front point by him.

It is equivalent to saying that the middle is completely empty!

Think of Lewandowski, Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels and, finally, goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

Every high point can make Barcelona people feel desperate!

The Catalan TV commentator saw the football being touched from the front to the middle by Tang Zheng, and his heart sank a lot.

The Barcelona fans in the stands gasped and held their breath.

Valdez, standing in front of the goal line, watched Lewandowski face the football from back to front and complete the top run.

The football flies to the goal!

Instinctively, Valdés pounced on the football, but he missed it because it was too close.

"It's over!"

After a few tenths of a second, Valdes, who was flying in the air, seemed to hear the most beautiful crisp sound in the world: "Boom!"

Lewandowski's header hit the crossbar and the right column at the junction, and Messi, who was standing in the far corner of the goal, kicked the football out of the right sideline.

Tang Zheng, who was lying flat on the turf, felt unwilling...
