Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng fouled David Silva less than a minute after the start, somewhat dissatisfied the home fans.

Therefore, as long as Tang Zheng gets the ball in the next game, the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium will boo deafeningly.

But Tang Zheng's performance was as stable as ever, and he was not disturbed by the fans at all. On the contrary, he almost assisted Lewandowski to break the deadlock!

David Silva, who was ousted by Tang Zheng at the beginning of the game, performed relatively sluggishly. He seldom received the ball in the 30-meter offensive area, and more often he connected the team to attack from 30 meters away.

In the third minute, Tang Zheng stepped forward in anticipation, intercepted Yaya Touré's pass to David Silva, and then directly played a long pass, Royce's long shot after a long-distance attack on the left Weak and weak, it was easily confiscated by England goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Two minutes later, it was Tang Zheng's early attack again. He intercepted the ball passed to Aguero by David Silva.

This time he didn't pass the ball, but took it forward.

Yaya Toure's shovel on the ground was divided by Tang Zheng's man. Harvey Garcia, who was behind to defend, did not dare to lose his position. Following Tang Zheng's dribbling, he chose to fight and retreat, waiting for his teammates to support.

Originally, Tang Zheng wanted to wait for Xavi Garcia to step forward to defend before passing to Gotze, but Xavi Garcia has a strong sense of position, which made his delivery speed a little too slow. In order to ensure that the football was not lost, he had no choice but to Spike the ball 360 degrees on the spot and escape the entanglement of Nasri who is actively returning to the defense.

Just such a 360-degree smash on the spot, the chance to quickly counterattack from defense to offense was lost, and it turned into a positional offense.

Tough battles require the active passing and running of the midfielders. Now Pirlo has been exempted due to injury, and Tang Zheng's position is a defensive midfielder. If he keeps pressing very high, the pressure on Gundogan will be very high. .

As the captain of the team, Tang Zheng couldn't let his teammates bear too much pressure.

If he had to choose one person to bear the pressure, he hoped it was himself.

What's more, before the game, the head coach Klopp's request was to defend first and then attack.

Compared with Manchester City last season, Manchester City this season has undergone some changes on the offensive end. Their offense is no longer sharp, and their defense is full of loopholes.

Both central defenders Kolo Toure and Lescott were unable to participate in the game due to injuries, so the choice of central defenders seemed to be stretched. Captain Kompany played with the 19-year-old teenager Nastasic.

It's worth mentioning that Dortmund's second quick counterattack was Tang Zheng's use of Nastasic's inexperience in the game to almost break the deadlock.

There is no doubt that central defender Nastasic is Manchester City's weakest link. Tang Zheng believes that as the game progresses, the nineteen-year-old is likely to make a fatal mistake!

When the time comes, it will be our team's chance!

The home team Manchester City's first shot was completed by Sergio Aguero, but unfortunately, under the interference of Tang Zheng's body, he didn't make full effort, and the football was easily confiscated by Weidenfeller.

In the twinkling of an eye, ten minutes into the first half, the two sides were attacking and defending each other, but the shots that really threatened the other side hadn't happened yet.

The head coaches of the two sides were relatively calm. Instead of standing nervously in the coaching area to direct the game as usual, they sat on the coach's bench with their legs crossed to watch the game.

The atmosphere of the full Etihad Stadium was frenzied. Whether it was the fans of the home team or the fans of the visiting team, they all tried their best to cheer wildly and cheer for the team they supported.

Of course, when Tang Zheng got the ball, there would be deafening boos at the Etihad Stadium.

Not to mention that Tang Zheng gave David Silva a blow in less than a minute, just because he is the core of Dortmund's attack, he must be booed!

The home fans knew that if Manchester City wanted to beat Dortmund at home, the best way was to prevent Tang Zheng from showing his full strength.

The controversial Champions League quarter-final second-leg match last season was still fresh in their memory, because they were afraid of Tang Zheng's performance.

Otherwise, the home game is also very hanging.

※※※

After the two sides tested each other in the first ten minutes, Manchester City, who was playing at home, took the lead in launching the offensive.

David Silva is no longer far away from attacking the 30-meter zone as he was in the first ten minutes. His current series organization offense is more in the attacking 30-meter zone.

Tang Zheng has a strong sense of position, he was not attracted by David Silva, he only based himself on the area at the top of the restricted area.

Facts proved that Tang Zheng's choice was correct. Yaya Toure, who plays as a midfielder, has a strong long-range shooting ability, and the same is true for Nasri and Aguero.

When their attack was fruitless, they had no choice but to shoot long shots, and Tang Zheng's timely blocking could often interfere with the quality of their long shots.

Fifteen minutes into the game, David Silva's offensive organization no longer favored the center, but focused on both sides, using Dzeko's top fight in the penalty area to create opportunities.

But the effect is also not good. Dzeko, who once won the Bundesliga top scorer in the 2009-2010 season, faced his old Bundesliga rivals Hummels and Subotic. Confiscated by Weidenfeller, or pushed out by double central defenders.

Neither the penetration in the center nor the cross from the side was effective. Finally, the head coach Mancini couldn't sit still. He came to the sidelines and blew his own whistle.

After David Silva looked over, he made a gesture that only his team members could understand.

Manchester City's formation was withdrawn, and Dortmund, who was a guest, had no choice but to choose a formation premise when he had to.

Because the consequences of not following the premise of the formation are very serious, it is tantamount to allowing players with strong breakthrough ability such as Nasri and Aguero to gain sprint space.

Of course, the premise of the formation will also be left to the sprint attack of Manchester City's offensive players.

However, risks and opportunities coexist. Dortmund's housekeeping skill is high pressure. The result of shrinking the formation too far is that there is not enough protection between each other, which can easily lead to one-on-one opportunities for Manchester City players.

Therefore, in order not to give Manchester City players a chance, Klopp's requirement for the team is to shrink the formation, so as not to change.

As the overall formation of Manchester City shrank, Klopp also came to the sidelines and made a gesture to Tang Zheng.

This gesture is very obvious, that is to restart the housekeeping skills-high oppression!

As a result, Dortmund players launched a siege at the Etihad Stadium.

Yaya Toure's pass rolled to David Silva. The latter's brain was still analyzing whether to pass it back or pass it to Aguero. Out of the corner of his eye, Tang Zheng, Gotze and Reus rushed In the past, I was taken aback, and subconsciously chose not to stop the ball and return it to Yaya Toure.

However, the subconscious passing power was not well controlled, the passing power was a bit strong, and the position was also a bit shifted. Yaya Toure had to bend his left foot and stretch his right foot to reach the ball.

The football stopped, but it was a little far from the body.

Tang Zheng focused his eyes, kicked the sole of his right foot to the ground, then stretched his right foot violently, competing with Yaya Toure for 50% of the ball under his feet this time.

Seeing Tang Zheng extend his left foot to grab the ball, Yaya Toure's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously chose to step out with his right foot, pull the ball back, and wanted to complete a wonderful Marseille roundabout.

"Aww-"

Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium chanted deafeningly.

But the next moment, the shouting stopped abruptly, and was replaced by deafening boos.

Tang Zheng's outstretched left foot exceeded Yaya Toure's imagination, and Tang Zheng's left foot also rushed towards the football while he was pulling it.

※※※

Yaya Toure's Marseille gyration was half completed, Tang Zheng stepped in, and the football was stabbed out by him. Yaya Toure's left foot did not step on the ball, and the result was that he lost his center of gravity and fell backwards. go.

Tang Zheng's movements were clean and neat, and the referee Rizzoli's position was very good. He clearly saw that Tang Zheng's outstretched left foot kicked a football.

Yaya Toure's fall to the ground was entirely due to being slapped in the face...

The home fans don't think so, they think the referee Rizzoli is protecting Tang Zheng.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Deafening boos poured down from the Etihad Stadium and quickly swept the entire stadium.

Tang Zheng has always developed the habit of not stopping his movements when he heard the referee's whistle. He pushed hard with his left palm and stepped forward with his left foot at the same time. He quickly got up from the ground and ran forward.

Because the football that was poked out happened to fall into Gotze's activity space.

Xavi Garcia rushed to Goetze, trying to counter the ball, Goetze kicked the ball directly to the left of his side without stopping the ball, and Royce stepped across the center line and put it high.

Zabaleta pressed the assist and hadn't returned yet, but central defender Kompany made up for it.

After receiving the ball, Royce wanted to forcefully pass Kompany, but Kompany's body was not slow.

Kompany did not foul, just squeezed Royce to the side.

Seeing that there was no opportunity to break through, Royce simply kicked the ball back with his left foot at a distance of 30 meters from the bottom line. Just in time, he saw Tang Zheng coming to meet him, and passed it without thinking.

Tang Zheng received the football, and Xavi Garcia, who was back on defense, instantly became nervous,

Besides Tang Zheng who was in possession of the ball, there was also Gotze running!

The other Manchester City players were defending high, Tang Zheng naturally knew that time is money, so he directed Gotze to run to the right flank.

The moment Gotze ran past him, Tang Zheng's right instep made a movement to pass the ball.

Xavi Garcia's center of gravity was subconsciously close to Gotze to prevent Tang Zheng from passing the ball.

But Tang Zheng didn't pass the ball, his right foot used the flexibility of his ankle to slam the football to the front left, making a breakthrough!

Lewandowski, who was at the forefront, caught the attention of central defender Nastasic. Kompany hadn't returned to his position yet, and Yaya Toure was returning to the defense, which meant that Tang Zheng's left front That area is temporarily unmarked.

Of course, he didn't mean to break forward, because Kompany was about to return to his position.

So Tang Zheng adjusted his steps in small steps, the last step was a little too big, his right foot was used as a supporting foot, and he swung his left foot.

Goalkeeper Hart had fully studied Tang Zheng before the game and knew that his right foot had a strong long-range shooting ability.

As for the left foot, he hasn't scored a long-range shot yet, so he is a bit slack.

However, there are no absolutes.

Tang Zheng had also practiced his left foot during training, but he didn't shoot it in the official competition.

Moreover, Hart forgot that he has a halo on his body, and this halo often makes the opponent's offensive players come up with such a kick.
