Midfielder Ruler

Before the start of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, all Barcelona members vowed that they will surely achieve a big reversal when they sit at the Nou Camp.

Their remarks were also supported by the majority of Barcelona fans, so Barcelona fans from all over Spain and other parts of Europe flocked to cheer for their beloved team at the scene.

At the beginning of the game, it is indeed not difficult to see the unity of the Barcelona soldiers.

The offensive is swift and fierce, and he spares no effort, as if he is unwilling to score a goal.

However, as the visiting Dortmund players gained a firm foothold, even the ordinary offensive organization of Barcelona at home was seriously affected.

Messi had bright spots, and even forced Yan Junling, who represented Dortmund in an official game for the first time, to make many thrilling saves, but Messi's bright spots could not continue. He was ignored by Tang Zheng and other Dortmund defensive players.

No one expected that Dortmund would take the lead in breaking the deadlock with a quick counterattack in less than ten minutes of the game.

Before that, Tang Zheng picked the ball and passed many Barcelona players, and then sent a long pass as accurate as a cruise missile.

No matter from the point of view of appreciation or practicality, Tang Zheng's performance can be called a classic, it is difficult to copy, even if he compares it with former Barcelona king Ronaldinho, it is even worse.

Thirty minutes into the game, Barcelona created only a handful of threats. On the other hand, Dortmund, who was a guest, played brilliantly under the leadership of Tang Zheng, and did not show any ambiguity because of being a guest.

Quick counterattacks have not been Dortmund's main tactics in the past two seasons, but they are still very threatening to play.

Especially in the presence of Royce and Cuba, their absolute speed is the fear of Barcelona's defense.

It is not difficult to see from the commentators in the on-site commentary that the players on both ends of Barcelona's offense and defense have different opinions.

The frontcourt players want to score goals as soon as possible to keep a glimmer of hope, and the backcourt players do not seek merit but hope for nothing. The 0:4 loss in the away game hit them too hard.

In addition, the goal lost at home was caused by paying too much attention to offense and ignoring defense, so that defensive players did not dare to lean too much, for fear that Dortmund would use it in a counterattack if they were careless.

Guardiola stood helpless on the sidelines. After all, no matter how amazing the tactics are, they need the active cooperation of the players to realize them.

This season is his last season in charge of Barcelona, ​​which means that next season's Barcelona head coach will be someone else. Will the players cooperate with the "former" head coach to take risks and be cast aside by the "current" head coach?

So Guardiola was in a hurry standing on the sidelines, and the only effective way was to wait until the intermission.

It's just halftime. Is there enough time?

Six goals in 45 minutes, during which Dortmund were not allowed to score.

A bit, unrealistic...

The coach command area of ​​the visiting team, about ten meters away, was empty.

Logically speaking, the head coaches of both teams in the Champions League semi-finals are under tremendous pressure. Only by standing on the sidelines and constantly commanding can the overwhelming pressure be relieved. However, Dortmund is currently quite safe, with five goal difference and one away goal, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

So Klopp sat on the coach's bench with his legs crossed, looking very comfortable.

Occasionally, when a problem is discovered, he walks to the command area and makes a few gestures with obvious tactical intentions towards the players on the field.

Then he returned to the coach's bench, with his hands behind his head, without any sense of tension.

The live broadcast is also very interesting. From time to time, taking advantage of the dead ball state or the boring stage of organizing the offense, the close-up shots of the two head coaches are switched out for comparison.

The game entered a stalemate, and Barcelona's offensive organization was very cautious, so the process seemed boring.

Dortmund, who was a guest, was not in a hurry. Anyway, the total score was five goals ahead, and the game was leading again. They were not in a hurry. They followed the tactics arranged by Klopp before the game and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Of course, if there is no chance to counterattack quickly, Tang Zheng will deliberately control the rhythm of the game and consume the game time reasonably.

Dortmund players are patient enough, Barcelona players are not.

Thirty-nine minutes into the game, Messi took the ball and encountered Sven Bender's frontal defense. Just as he was about to break through, Tang Zheng stabbed the football away from behind.

Jing Duoan, who chose a good position, returned the football that Tang Zheng poked out to Tang Zheng, and let him choose the attack method.

Seeing that Dortmund's quick counterattack was imminent, Messi who lost the ball was very dissatisfied, he turned around and kicked Tang Zheng's supporting foot directly.

Regarding Messi's sudden stretching of his feet, Tang Zheng obviously didn't think about it, he didn't grasp the center of gravity of his body for a while, and fell to the ground.

The whistle of the referee Kupels sounded, but the Nou Camp responded with huge boos. The home fans thought that the referee was too partial to the visiting team and whistled whenever there was physical contact, which was obviously unfair!

However, the penalty that made the home fans even more angry was still to come. Kupels believed that Messi had obvious intentions of revenge, so he gave a yellow card.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Suddenly, there were deafening boos over the Camp Nou stadium.

The home fans reacted strongly. On the contrary, Messi did not say much. Facing the referee Kupels' penalty, he did not complain. After all, the action just now was caused by emotion.

At the same time, the commentator commented on Messi's foul action.

Central 5 commentator He Wei shook his head and said: "Messi is in a hurry for this ball, he should wait more patiently for the next opportunity to attack."

Marcel Leff's comment was more direct: "Even if there is still nearly an hour in the game, I think Leo Messi should accept the reality. The total score is 0:5 behind, and Barcelona has no possibility of any reversal."

The mood of the Catalan TV commentator was obviously at the lowest level. He said lightly: "Leo's foul should not have been done, but the referee's yellow card is questionable."

British Sky TV commentator Martin Taile criticized Messi: "It is undeniable that Leo Messi is one of the best players on the planet, but his gentlemanly demeanor needs to be strengthened..."

Tang Zheng sat on the ground looking at the sorrow and joy left behind, shrugged his shoulders, and stood up following Sven Bender's outstretched right hand.

The home fans were obviously very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng. They thought that without Tang Zheng's 'exaggerated' fall to the ground, it would have been impossible for the referee Kupels to give Messi a yellow card.

Therefore, as long as Tang Zheng got the ball in the following game time, the fans on the scene would boo him.

Now Tang Zheng was used to big scenes, even if more than 90,000 Barcelona fans booed overwhelmingly, it still couldn't affect his state of mind.

Before the end of the first half, Tang Zheng also fully showed off his excellent foot skills, ignoring the negative sound effects erupting from the Camp Nou stadium.

At the same time, Central 5 commentator He Wei once again praised Tang Zheng: "If anyone is the most disliked player in the Barcelona stadium, I think they will definitely vote for Tang Zheng. In the first round of the Champions League, he scored a goal and assisted three times. Another counterattack plan in the round, and Tang Zheng at the Camp Nou happily showed off his superb skills, which is a pain for the home fans."

Although Chinese Barcelona fans sound unhappy, facts are facts, except for those trolls.

Tang Zheng's performance is good, that is to win glory for the country, as a Chinese, he should be proud of it.

A total of 180 minutes in the two rounds of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. At halftime, it means that the time has now passed 135 minutes. Now the total score is 5:0, and there is an away goal. Dortmund is 15 years away It's only a matter of time before they qualify for the Champions League final again.

The Dortmund fans at the Nou Camp are far away from the stadium, but it doesn't affect the catharsis of their dancing.

Just one minute into stoppage time, Kupels blew the whistle to end the first half.

The live director's close-up shots were first shown to Tang Zheng, who performed very well in the first half, and then to Messi, who was also wearing the No. 10 jersey.

The contrast between the two is quite obvious, the former is excellent and the latter is sluggish.

"Dortmund is still 45 minutes away from qualifying for this season's Champions League final!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said excitedly: "However, there are still some suspense in the remaining 45 minutes. Can Barcelona score a goal? , Can Dortmund continue to score... I believe that 90% of the fans sitting in front of the TV want Dortmund to continue to score and slaughter Barcelona."

Players from both sides entered the player channel one after another, and the atmosphere at the Camp Nou declined significantly.

The local Catalan media reporter shook his head and sighed. After 135 minutes, the total score was still 0:5 behind.

Still have a chance to reverse the promotion?

To be honest, with Barcelona's current competitive state, let alone 45 minutes, even 450 minutes may not be able to win back.

Moreover, the Young Guard Dortmund started from the 2009-2010 season to the 2012-2013 season, really step by step, down-to-earth.

While the personal strength of the players is increasing, the overall strength is also strengthening, and it can even be said to be rising geometrically.

Players who have been famous in the Bundesliga for two or three seasons are now well-known in Europe, especially Tang Zheng.

Since it landed in Europe in 2009, it has made remarkable progress.

He has grown from a young talent in South America to a top five midfielder in Europe...

Closer to home, the Barcelona players in the home team's locker room are generally not in a good mood.

Coach Guardiola shook his head lightly. He didn't know how to solve the current difficulties the team encountered, so he didn't know how to boost morale.

Go with the flow!

The atmosphere in the visiting team's dressing room was particularly frenzied, with hugs among the players.

Klopp and his assistant Jelico Buvac also had a deep smile on their faces. Even though he knew that the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals were not completely over, but thinking that there were still 45 minutes left in the Champions League semi-finals, The only self-control has disappeared without a trace.

Only Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, watched his teammates celebrate their promotion to the Champions League final and shook his head.

But he didn't stop it. After all, everyone has the right to celebrate, and he just needs to mention his teammates at the right time.

Klopp naturally noticed Tang Zheng's serious expression, and felt relieved a lot.

It is Dortmund's blessing to have such a captain in the team.

The 12 million euros that year was really worth the money!

At the same time, the Dortmund executives sitting in the VIP seats at Camp Nou were quite calm, because they knew that it was only a matter of time before the team advanced.

The final of the Champions League after 15 years is coming!

Both Zorc and Watzke are proud of the decisions they made in the summer of 2009.

Just now, the chairman of Barcelona, ​​Rosell, just asked about the possibility of Tang Zheng moving to Barcelona this summer.

The tentative price is as high as 70 million Champions League. If Dortmund enters the Champions League final, I believe the offer will be even higher.

If Dortmund can win various championships this season, the value of the absolute core will become even higher!

When his teammates were about to celebrate, Tang Zheng took the initiative to walk towards his compatriot Yan Junling, who represented Dortmund in an official game for the first time, and stretched out his right hand: "Junling, you performed very well!"

When other teammates saw Tang Zheng shaking hands and hugging goalkeeper Yan Junling, they instantly understood and followed suit.

Yan Junling represented Dortmund in an official game for the first time. Not only did he perform steadily, but he also saved Messi's consecutive must-go goals. With such an excellent goalkeeper in front of the goal, the frontcourt players are more at ease in attacking.

Besides, Tang Zheng is the absolute leader of Dortmund's locker room at present, many teammates have to change to please Tang Zheng.

The atmosphere in the team is good, and Klopp can see it.

He was thinking, winning the Champions League is not as difficult as he imagined.

The 15-minute intermission time passed quickly, and the second half changed sides to fight again.

Both sides of the game did not make adjustments to the personnel in the first half. Obviously, the head coaches of both sides have great trust in the existing targets.

No one noticed that Sanchez, who was sitting on the home team's bench, was very unhappy, frowning.

As the best player in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, he didn't understand why the coach Guardiola didn't let himself start.

It is understandable if Pedro and Villa performed well, but the two of them performed very poorly, why do they still choose to trust them?

Dortmund, who took the lead in kicking off, did not quickly organize the attack, but slowed down the attack rhythm under the control of Tang Zheng and Gundogan.

What surprised the Dortmund players was that the Barcelona players did not show the resignation they should have in the second half, but instead gave people a feeling of abandonment.

Guardiola no longer stood in the coach's command area like in the first half. In the second half, he was very comfortable and sat calmly in front of the coach's bench.

Klopp saw it in his eyes, and the hanging heart sank.

In the second half, Barcelona did not play actively enough, and the Catalan TV commentator was a little unhappy: "Maybe there is no hope of qualifying for the Champions League final this season, but this kind of Barcelona is not what we want to see. Is this worthy of the more than 90,000 fans present? "

Central 5 commentator He Wei said indifferently: "We don't know what happened to Barcelona during the intermission, but judging from the performance in the second half, they seem to have given up the final struggle. There will be no surprises for Dortmund to advance to the Champions League final this season!"

Marcel Leff is passionate and eloquent: "Barcelona give up the struggle and the suspense ends? No! Not enough!!"
