Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 406 Surprise

Weidenfeller was sent off with a red card, and there must be a goalkeeper in front of the goal, so he was a little tangled in the choice of replacement players.

In order to ensure the stability of the defense, it is natural that the defenders cannot be removed. The double midfielders Sven Bender and Gundogan also cannot be replaced. Neither can Lewandowski, the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season, nor can captain Tang Zheng.

Therefore, the choice can only arise between Gotze or Reus.

Gotze is a wide player with midfielder attributes, but he has some problems with his physical fitness and body, and he has minor injuries.

Royce has good physical fitness, speed and technique.

In terms of offensive organization, Tang Zheng, who has comprehensive technical capabilities, can complete it on his behalf, which means that in this case, Goce seems to be dispensable.

Therefore, the decision of Klopp and the members of the coaching staff was to remove Gotze and replace him with Yan Junling.

It is not difficult for Gotze, who was substituted, to see emotions in his heart. He even wondered whether he should follow his father's advice and switch to Bayern Munich this summer.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

Gotze, who returned to the bench, took the drink handed over by the staff and sat down. When he looked into the field, he happened to see Tang Zheng talking to the substitute goalkeeper Yan Junling.

Yan Junling, who seemed to be mentally unsatisfactory before, suddenly seemed to have changed into another person, and now he was in high spirits.

Gotze looked at Tang Zheng who was running towards the penalty area again, and naturally recalled those words of Tang Zheng at the beginning of the season in his mind...

The No. 10 jersey, which symbolizes the absolute core, may be worn next season.

On-site commentary Xi Yang 5 commentator He Wei continued his worries: "Yan Junling just came off the bench,

The state is not known, and he had to face a direct free kick that threatened the goal when he first played. It has to be said that Weidenfeller's foul lacked thinking. "

The current He Wei has forgotten the series of firsts that Yan Junling came off the bench, and he is full of worries.

Guest commentator Zhang Lu said with a smile: "He Wei, you don't have to worry too much. It's not that Yan Junling has never participated in big games. Think about the second round of the Champions League semi-finals and the German national derby that is related to the Bundesliga championship. He has a commendable performance. , I believe that Yan Junling will prove himself, and at the same time prove to the whole world that China has not only produced a Tang Zheng, but also a Yan Junling!"

The fans sitting in front of the TV relaxed after He Wei and Zhang Lu sang together, because Yan Junling really had a very dazzling performance in the two games of the Champions League semi-finals and the German national derby.

The commentator can talk nonsense, but the past games will not lie.

The atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium became more frenzied with Weidenfeller's red card, and Real Madrid fans behind the Dortmund goal booed Yan Junling, who came off the bench, to put tremendous pressure on him. Help the team profit from the next free kick.

However, Yan Junling, who was walking towards the goal, was full of confidence and was not affected by off-court factors at all.

In the broadcast footage, he even took the initiative to hug his defensive teammates around him to encourage each other.

Yan Junling, who came to the door, frowned, concentrated his attention, and then began to arrange the human wall according to the requirements of past training.

Weidenfeller's foul was not far from the goal, about 23 meters, and the top of the penalty area was on the right.

A free kick at this distance has higher requirements on the kicker, and it is very difficult to pass over the wall and then fall.

But just because it is close to the goal, the kicker can choose to stick to the ground.

Yan Junling had considered both possibilities, but his priority was to block the upper three roads.

As for the kicker hitting the wall, let's talk...

So in terms of the human wall, Yan Junling arranged five teammates.

Coupled with Di Maria and Pepe who squeezed in desperately, there are seven people in the wall.

Di Maria and Pepe who squeezed in naturally didn't want to help Dortmund, they wanted to tear down the wall.

Due to one less game, Dortmund is stretched defensively. Naturally, they do not give up an inch of ground at the end of the wall. Players from both sides who have physical contact are prone to quarrels during the process of squeezing each other.

The referee Rizzoli had to blow his whistle continuously to signal the players on both sides to control their hand movements.

Facing the serious referee, it is natural to put on the appearance of a good baby, and when Rizzoli walks away, he will turn into a bear in an instant, and do whatever he wants.

Rizzoli shook his head, as long as his actions were not too outrageous, he was not going to blow the whistle again.

※※※

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil stand separately in front of the football, but no one knows who will take the direct free kick.

Logically speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo is the number one free kick taker in the Real Madrid team. As long as he wants, no one can grab him.

But then again, Ozil also has a kick in this position. Real Madrid's home draw with Dortmund in the Champions League group stage this season was scored by him in stoppage time.

So it's hard to say whether the ball was handled by Cristiano Ronaldo or Ozil.

Yan Junling, standing slightly to the right in the middle of the goal, naturally separated his legs and opened his hands slightly, like springs squeezed to the extreme. At the same time, he looked at Cristiano Ronaldo and Ozil through the gap in the wall .

He can't guess who will kick, but he is confident enough to reject this direct free kick!

"Aww-"

Behind the goal is the area of ​​​​the diehard Real Madrid fans. They spontaneously made deafening cheers, as if celebrating the goal in advance.

"beep~"

However, as the referee Rizzoli blew his whistle, the sound produced dropped significantly, because they didn't want the sound to be too loud and affect the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo or Ozil.

At the same time, the momentum at Wembley Stadium has dropped significantly, and the focus has been on Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil and the goals.

"Who is taking the punishment?"

Central 5 commentator He Wei swallowed, feeling very nervous.

Cristiano Ronaldo led the run with Ozil right behind.

One is right footed and the other is left footed. Yan Junling standing in front of the door began to take small steps on the spot, ready to make a save at any time.

The wall of five headed by Tang Zheng almost jumped subconsciously when they saw Cristiano Ronaldo swung his right foot and was about to kick the football, but Tang Zheng felt that Cristiano Ronaldo should not take the penalty, so his two Piszczek and Lewandowski were immediately pulled by one hand.

really!

Cristiano Ronaldo's swung right foot did not kick the ball, but ran forward quickly.

Royce and Gundogan picked it up immediately, and it was too late by the time they realized what was going on.

Ozil's last step was a bit too big, with his right foot on the right side of the football about 30 centimeters away, while his right arm was naturally opened to maintain his balance, and then he swung his left foot.

Originally, he wanted to use Cristiano Ronaldo as a cover to trick everyone in Dortmund into jumping off the wall and making another time difference.

As a result, the walls on both sides of Dortmund took off, but the three in the middle did not.

This can cause Ozil to be a little uncertain. If he wants to score a goal from such a close-range free kick, he must control his footwork to the extreme. If he jumps off the wall, the height of his original shooting plan will have to be raised again... …

Tang Zheng was 1.94 meters tall, Lewandowski was 1.84 meters tall, and Piszczek was 1.82 meters tall. Their jump height exceeded two meters.

This……

Xiasanlu?

Ozil was about to hit the ball with the inside of the instep of his left foot when he had an idea.

※※※

"Oops!!"

Tang Zheng guessed correctly that Cristiano Ronaldo was not the kicker, but he did not expect that Ozil would choose the next three.

Ozil's left foot hit the instep very accurately, and the football slid past the soles of Piszczek, Tang Zheng and Lewandowski against the turf.

To be exact, it was Tang Zheng who was in the middle and rushed past at a high speed.

Standing on the sidelines, Dortmund coach Klopp's eyes widened instantly, and he was stunned.

"Aww-"

Real Madrid fans behind the new Wembley Stadium erupted, creating a deafening roar of cheers.

The next moment, the loud cheers had to turn into loud regrets: "Ohhhh—"

Ozil's direct free kick hit the wall and caught him off guard, but Yan Junling was very focused. He saw the football jumping from the bottom of Tang Zheng's feet and moved a step to the left, then kicked hard on the ground while pressing his body down.

Yan Junling, who was subjected to a huge reaction force, suddenly dived to the left, stretched out his left arm, and rubbed the football with his fingertips.

It was precisely this slight rub that the trajectory of the football changed, rubbing against the outer edge of the left goal post and rolling out of the baseline.

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of Xi Yang 5, was full of enthusiasm: "Beautiful! Yan Junling!! He told everyone with his performance! He can do it! He successfully saved Ozil's direct free kick!"

"God-like reaction, Chinese Yan Weiwu!!"

German sky commentator Marcel Leif said excitedly.

"Yan Yan, the first Chinese goalkeeper to play in the Champions League final, did not disappoint the Dortmund fans in front of the TV. He did it! It was so competitive!" British Sky commentator Andy Gray praised loudly.

Schmelzer, who was the closest, stretched out his hand to hold the excited Yan Junling, and then yelled almost crazily: "Yan, you are so beautiful!"

Yan Junling, who made a wonderful save, looked a little shy and scratched the back of his head.

Other Dortmund players followed suit and gave Yan Junling a firm hug.

The coach Klopp, who was still very nervous before, hit a set of iconic combos on the sidelines as if the team had scored a goal.

Only the captain, Tang Zheng, was clear-headed at this time. He yelled loudly at his teammates: "Those who are optimistic about you, Real Madrid still has corner kicks to take! Stay focused! Concentrate!!"

Ozil held his head in his hands and looked at Yan Junling in the crowd. He really didn't expect the other party's reaction speed to be so fast...

The short distance and the fast ground ball can't score a goal.

Isn't there enough for China except Tang Zheng?

You must know that the goalkeeper sees the football when it passes under the wall...

This reaction?

Oh-My-God! !

Cristiano Ronaldo reached out and patted Ozil on the shoulder, saying: "Mesut, don't be discouraged, there are still opportunities."

"Um."

Ozil nodded slightly, then ran to the right corner flag area, ready to receive Modric's short corner.

※※※

Weidenfeller, who was sent off by a red card, sat in the locker room and watched the live broadcast nervously. While blaming himself, he did not forget to cheer for Yan Junling.

Yan Junling's poor performance will certainly not affect Weidenfeller's starting position in the team, but the direct free kick position he left is too dangerous, and the media will find criticism to some extent.

Although the two have a competitive relationship, everyone's goal now is the same, that is to beat Real Madrid!

When he saw that Özil's direct free kick rolled towards the goal against the turf, he broke into a cold sweat for Yan Junling.

Fortunately, Yan Junling's next reaction was quick and sensitive, and he kicked the ground with sufficient strength, blocking the ball out of the baseline with a single palm.

Seeing this scene, Weidenfeller really felt old.

If it was him who took a direct free kick against Ozil, he had a feeling that 90% of the time he would not be able to save the ball like Yan Junling.

There may even be no response.

Perhaps, the starting goalkeeper position next season will be handed over.

Immediately afterwards, Ozil received a short corner kick from Modric and prepared to pass it to Cristiano Ronaldo. The football was picked up by Yan Junling, who performed well.

Andy Gray's passionate voice from the British Sky TV came from the TV speakers: "Yan's performance is really unexpected. Just after Roman Weidenfeller was sent off, we thought he might be out of order. It turns out that His performance can stand the test! There is no problem with the goalkeeper, the next thing is to see whether Dortmund's overall defense can withstand the attack of Real Madrid playing one more man..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei was ecstatic: "The performance of the young player Yan Junling really surprised me! The young Lu Liang was born in Dortmund last season. This season it is the turn of the goalkeeper Yan Junling. I think as the confidence of Chinese players increases, In the future, there will definitely be batch after batch of professional players going to the top European stadiums!"

"The confidence that He Wei talked about is really very important, because only with confidence can he boldly express himself on the international stage, just like Yan Junling who was ordered in danger! Look at Dortmund captain Tang Zheng, they are very confident in themselves! The Champions League final? This Not at their peak."

During the speech, Yan Junling took two steps forward, then threw the ball to the right side of his own half, and Royce jumped in at high speed.

The hand throw is very accurate, and it is exactly the same as Royce's running direction. It is a pity that Royce failed to stop the football under Marcelo's marking.

However, Royce's second reaction was quick. He blocked the position first to protect the football. Marcelo failed to steal the ball behind him. Instead, he was fouled by the referee Rizzoli because of his excessive movement.

After playing one less player, Dortmund took advantage of this to gain a little respite.

The on-site director was not idle, he quickly switched the camera to the coach of the home team, Klopp was talking about something while pulling Tang Zheng.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif's mood returned to normal, and he talked about Dortmund's current situation: "Yan's performance is amazing, which is a surprise, but Dortmund needs to work harder on the offensive end if they want to win. I don't know Jurgen Will the latest adjustments made by you work, come on!"
