Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 343 Champions League 9th Ball

Tang Zheng shot angrily 26 meters away from the goal. The head coach Klopp didn't feel any dissatisfaction. Instead, he stood in the coach's command area of ​​the visiting team full of expectations.

Because Tang Zheng's scoring rate in this position is very high, so that the Dortmund Expeditionary Army raised their arms high to welcome the goal.

"Ooh-oh--"

At the same time, deafening loud exclamations suddenly erupted from the sky above the Rose Garden Stadium, and even many Malaga fans behind the goal chose to hold their heads in pain, as if they were not greeted by a shot but a missed goal.

Goalkeeper Caballero looked up at the football coming, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked.

However, his reaction speed was very fast, and his feet quickly moved to the right side of his body...

Central defender Demichelis moved forward to block Tang Zheng's shot, and his eyes followed the football to the goal. If you look carefully, you can see a trace of pain and despair in his eyes.

Tang Zheng's shooting angle is very tricky and full of strength. According to Demichelis's many years of game experience, such a shot is very difficult to stop.

as predicted!

Caballero struggled to take off while moving, his body stretched extremely in mid-air, his right arm like a roc spread its wings as far as possible, but there was still a small distance from the football...

"Shit!"

Caballero felt that his body began to descend, but his outstretched right arm hadn't touched the football, and he couldn't help venting in his heart.

In fact, the moment he moved, he already felt that the ball was difficult to catch, and the vent in his heart was more because he was not reconciled.

A football game is a man's battlefield, never give up.

With a strong whistling sound, the football brushed Caballero's outstretched right arm and continued to fly towards the goal, and then hit the snow-white net against the inner edge of the left goal post.

At the same time, the frenzy at the Rose Garden dropped to freezing point.

After scoring the goal, Tang Zheng opened his arms excitedly, and ran to the corner flag area on the right, where the 3,000 Dortmund Expeditionary Army that came with the team sat.

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—"

The Dortmund fans at the scene saw Tang Zheng approaching with open arms,

They raised their voices and chanted collectively in tacit understanding.

"Beautiful! It's Tang Zheng again!! Wonderful world wave! This is Tang Zheng's ninth goal in the Champions League this season!! Incredible achievement! His goal helped Dortmund lead Malaga 1-0 in the away game!"

Accompanied by the huge cheers from Dortmund fans at the scene, He Wei, the central 5 commentator in the commentary seat, jumped up and shouted.

Sitting not far away, the German sky commentator Marcel Leif did not give in. He roared almost crazily: "Ohhhhh-My-God!! The Great Wall of China became an oriental dragon, and Tang's long-range shot helped Dortmund Pierced through Willy Caballero's goal! 1:0!! Dortmund scored a valuable away goal in the away game! At the same time, this is Tang's ninth goal in the Champions League this season, he will tie Cristiano Ronaldo again, tied Top scorer in the Champions League!"

The facial expression of the commentator on Spanish National Television was completely opposite to that of Hevey and Marcel Leif. He said in pain: "This is a disaster! How can Don pass by easily? The beast is old! Old! Pellet Greene should consider replacing him with a younger player..."

Tang Zheng, who ran to the Dortmund fan area, raised his arms and shouted, almost frantically shouting: "We are going to Wembley!!"

The Dortmund fans were stunned for a moment, and then the net responded hysterically, and the explosive momentum almost broke through the sky.

The other Dortmund players who followed immediately slid and knelt beside Tang Zheng, then waved their arms up and down towards the excited fans of the visiting team, inciting them to erupt into louder waves.

Immediately, the on-site director gave a slow-motion replay of the entire goal as usual.

Tang Zheng's persevering spirit was amazing, he took down almost nothing in the center twice in a row, and then chose to shoot decisively!

※※※

The players on the field celebrated the goal excitedly. How can Klopp, the coach of the visiting team, be in a daze at this time?

He was as ostentatious as in the past, facing the broadcast camera looking directly at him, he punched a set of combination punches with a hideous face, fully inciting the emotions of Dortmund fans in front of the TV.

Not far away, Pellegrini is different from the calmness of the past. He is holding his head in his painful hands, obviously in pain.

Strictly speaking, Malaga has not conceded a goal at home in the Champions League this season.

Conceded five goals in the six rounds of the group stage and two goals at home, but the two goals at home are based on the fact that they have secured the first place in the group in advance. Pellegrini considered the two-line battle and made a large-scale rotation of the team in the last round .

It is mainly to temper the substitute players and young players, and there is no burden in my heart. It is normal to concede the ball.

Before this match, Pellegrini had repeatedly told the players not to relax their vigilance towards Tang Zheng.

But what?

The double defensive midfielders were first lured out by Tang Zheng, and then the defensive midfielder Baptista and central defender Demichelis were half a beat behind.

Perhaps, these old players are really unbearable?

The use of old players has a double edge. It is a blessing if it is used well, but it is a curse if it is not used well.

But in the final analysis, Tang Zheng's personal ability is too strong.

Many times the flashes of stars are unsolvable, as Marcel Leff said calmly: "Caballero has no need to be depressed. I believe that even the best midfielder, central defender, Goalkeepers, believe they can't stop Don's goal!"

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng close-up shots for a long time. Apart from his earth-shattering goal, he also scored nine goals in nine games as a midfielder, and also had three assists.

The entire team only scored 17 goals, and Tang Zheng personally contributed 12 goals. What kind of statistic is this?

It's scary to think about it.

The game restarted. Isco, the Spanish golden boy who received the pass, had a strong desire for meritorious service. After taking the ball, he used his skillful foot skills to pass Goetze and Gundogan. Just when he was about to make an emergency stop and change direction to break through Don When I was in trouble, I ran into trouble.

Isco, who was nimble at Tang Zheng's defensive feet, cleverly moved his upper body to the right ahead of time. Isco thought that Tang Zheng was shaking, so he hurriedly stopped and dialed the ball to the right.

It turned out that Tang Zheng's early movement was an illusion, and then he stopped abruptly on the spot while Isco was pulling the ball, and then stretched his long left leg.

Isco was shocked, it was too late to stretch his right foot to pull the ball back, the football hit Tang Zheng's stretched left foot.

Fortunately, the French midfielder Tulalan was full of attention in the game. He was keenly aware that Isco might miss the ball, so he was able to protect the football when Isco lost the ball.

Even if there is no way to counterattack on the spot, Dortmund's quick counterattack can be resolved.

※※※

"Hey, Isco!!"

Dortmund got the ball from the touchline, and Pellegrini yelled at Isco from the touchline. After Isco turned his head and looked towards the sidelines, he made a 'steady' gesture and gestured to change to the second tactic.

Isco realized that he was a little impulsive just now, so he nodded slightly towards coach Pellegrini, indicating that he knew.

Pellegrini returned to the coach's bench and sat down.

It's not that his arrangement is over, but that he has to discuss with his assistants how to play the next game.

According to his pre-match plan, it is best for the team to draw with Dortmund at halftime.

Now the plan can't keep up with the changes, and the way of conceding the ball is also very demoralizing. We must think of a good way to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Although Malaga's promotion to the quarter-finals of the Champions League has already made history, but Pellegrini once coached Villarreal to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. He wants to take Malaga to at least go one step further and prove himself!

In the 2009-2010 season, he led Real Madrid to a club-high 96 points but was fired. It can be said to be the biggest shame of his coaching career!

So beating Dortmund to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League is the best way to prove him!

Isco, who returned his attention to the court, didn't run to his own position to catch the ball immediately, he turned his head to look at Tang Zheng.

Just when Tang Zheng looked over, the two looked at each other.

Tang Zheng has long been used to the eyes of his opponents, but Isco is a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to find a sense of struggle, but he became a little at a loss when he saw Tang Zheng's playful smile.

So much so that the next defense against Tang Zheng seemed a little lacking in confidence, almost allowing Dortmund to launch a quick counterattack.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour into the game, Dortmund's tactical play has changed a lot compared to before scoring. They are no longer full of aggressiveness, but more about controlling positions and using their strong midfield control to consume the game time.

Even though Isco really wanted to make contributions, he was helpless because of the obvious gap in the overall strength of the team...

Malaga, who sits at the Rose Garden Stadium, played quite passively. Pellegrini frequently came to the coach's command area of ​​the home team to remind the players on the field to concentrate on the game.

It is worth mentioning that the home fans did not give up cheering and cheering because of Malaga's passivity. They released their passion as always and waited for the moment when the team equalized the score.

I just waited until the regular 45 minutes and didn't get a goal, the score was still 0:1

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

※※※

The live broadcast camera showed the players on both sides of the game. The facial expressions of the leading Dortmund players were obviously better than those of the lagging Malaga players.

The golden boy Isco, who has high hopes from Malaga fans, frowned and looked sad.

The mood of the other Malaga players was not much better, and it was somewhat unreasonable to be "beaten" at halftime after falling behind at home.

Players from both sides entered the locker room, fans from both sides chatted in twos and threes at the Rose Garden Stadium, or went to the shopping center of the stadium to buy food and drinks to replenish the energy consumed.

Their contribution is no less than that of the players on the field, especially their voices, which have been severely damaged.

The frenzied atmosphere on the scene has declined, and the TV stations that have live broadcast rights have not been idle, and the commentators at the TV station headquarters have to give an analysis of the end of the first half.

There is no surprise. Everyone's analysis point of view is that the role of stars has changed the trend of the game.

Although Dortmund is superior in strength, they have not found a good way under Malaga's solid defense system.

Without Tang Zheng's sudden flash, the score might still be 0:0.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another, making a final struggle for the remaining 45 minutes.

"Aww-"

Accompanied by the huge cheers erupting from the fans, the Swedish referee Eriksson blew his whistle, signaling the official start of the second half of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals!

Easy side to fight again, neither side has made adjustments to the existing personnel.

However, both sides have made some changes to the team's formation position, especially in Malaga at home.

They have changed from a four-two-three formation to a parallel midfield position in a four-four-two formation.

Obviously, Pellegrini's team wants to regain the balance of offense and defense.

The past forty-five minutes have fully proved that his change of formation has failed.

For Dortmund, the main change is Tang Zheng's position. Compared with the first half, his position is further back.

Gotze, Reus and Lewandowski retreated accordingly.

It's not that Klopp asked the team to retreat to half-court defense, but because Gotze, Lewandowski and Royce all need sprint space, and proper formation recovery can increase counterattack opportunities.

Whether it's Tang Zheng, Pirlo, or Gundogan, they all have a strong ability to pass the ball. Once Malaga has problems in transitioning from offense to defense, it will be time for Dortmund to expand the score!

In addition, it cannot be ignored that Dortmund, who finished the quarter-finals of the Champions League, has to take into account the weekend's domestic league.

At present, the league is still two points behind Bayern Munich. The first problem in wanting to reverse the points is to ensure that you do not make mistakes.

It is good to be able to take away more goal difference at the Rose Garden Stadium, but the most important thing to do at the moment is to save energy and save energy for the weekend league and the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week.

The tactics and formation changes of the two teams affected the different trends of the game. Dortmund, who still had an absolute advantage in the first half, seemed to have lost control of the game.

The Malaga fans in the stands saw that the team they supported was gradually gaining the upper hand, and the cheers broke out wave after wave.

Pellegrini standing on the sidelines was more worried than the excited home fans.

Everything happens for a reason, and there must be a demon.

Even if Pellegrini thinks with his toes, he can guess that Klopp must have ulterior motives in giving up the initiative of the game.

So, he turned his head to look at the visiting coach's command area.

But he didn't see Klopp, but sat leisurely on the coach's bench, crossing his legs.

Very comfortable, as if everything is under control.

It didn't take long for Pellegrini to realize what medicine Klopp's gourd was selling.

First of all, Tang Zheng's recovery can enhance Dortmund's overall defensive ability, and strive to not concede a goal in the away game.

Secondly, you can make full use of the super individual combat capabilities of the midfielders Gotze, Royce and Lewandowski.

A few minutes later in the game, Malaga's possession time slowly recovered, but the actual threat did not increase.

Isco's ball possession area was limited to outside the 30-meter defensive area, and Joaquin was too old to rush.

Baptista's body is still there, but his flexibility is not as good as before. He can only rely on long shots to test Weidenfeller.
