Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 5 Farewell to yellow and black career with a red card

Ever since Tang Zheng scored the ice-breaking goal, the Bayern players had significantly strengthened his defense, to the point where he couldn't comfortably hold the ball to organize an attack for a long time to come.

Facing Bayern's tight defense, Tang Zheng did not give in, but patiently waited for the opportunity.

No, taking advantage of Harvey Martinez's decline in defensive concentration, he knocked the ball back with the heel of his right foot and passed it with a stop.

It was too late for Harvey Martinez to think about fouling, and Schweinsteiger's defense was considered timely, but it was a little bit reluctant for him, who was born as an attacking avant-garde, to complete the defense against Tang Zheng one-on-one.

And Tang Zheng's next actions also proved how colorful his personal abilities are.

Tang Zheng suddenly stopped on the spot and flicked the ball to the right, Schweinsteiger had to stop passively.

Because of inertia, he still took a small step forward.

Taking advantage of this time difference, Tang Zheng suddenly swung his right foot.

Reminiscent of Tang Zheng's excellent long-range shooting skills, Schweinsteiger lowered his body's center of gravity at the moment of a sudden stop, and at the same time stretched out his right foot, hoping to intercept Tang Zheng's long-range shots about 30 meters away from the door.

Central defender Boateng, who had been keeping an eye on Tang Zheng, also stepped forward, with his arms behind his back, trying to block it with his own flesh and blood.

If Tang Zheng chooses to shoot from a long distance, his shot will either be blocked by Schweinsteiger or blocked by Boateng.

But Tang Zheng didn't choose to shoot from a long distance, but used the toe of his right foot to pick the football at the moment of touching the ball.

The football soared into the air and fell right from the gap between Schweinsteiger and Boateng to the front of the penalty area.

The on-site director's camera suddenly switched,

"Dangerous!" exclaimed Michael Letty, a commentator for ZDF.

Bayern coach Heynckes was taken aback for a moment, because Dante was entangled with Lewandowski, and Tang Zheng chose to pass the ball to Royce, who exposed the loophole by crossing Boateng diagonally!

"Marco—"

exclaimed Marcel Leff.

Royce made a decisive oblique thrust from the attacking right rib, just in time to receive Tang Zheng's pick pass.

It was too late for Dante to fill in, and Neuer had to abandon the goal and attack.

"Aww-"

The Borussia Dortmund fans at the Olympiastadion in Berlin were instantly excited, creating a deafening roar of cheers.

Tang Zheng's pass and Royce's running position were at the right time, Neuer's attack was obviously half a beat late.

After Royce stopped the ball, he still had time to look up and observe the defensive loopholes in Neuer's attack. As teammates of the national team, they know the bottom line, so at this time, the test is who thinks further!

Obviously, Royce has the upper hand.

Facing Neuer who was attacking, he first made a fake move to hit the goal, tricking Neuer into jumping to the left side of his body according to the change of foot shape,

When Neuer made a save, he realized that he was cheated by Royce...

A second later, Royce turned around, opened his arms, and faced Tang Zheng, who sent an exquisite pass.

Accompanied by the loud cheers from the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Tang Zheng greeted Royce with a smile and hugged him: "Marco, you played so beautifully!"

"It's all because of your pass." Royce patted Tang Zheng's back vigorously, and sighed, "I don't know if I can receive your pass again in the future."

Tang Zheng laughed dryly, and didn't answer directly, but put his arms around Lewandowski and Gotze, celebrating the team's second goal of the game.

According to the current situation, the team has great hopes of winning Bayern!

At the same time, Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said emotionally: "It is really a pleasure to watch Tang Zheng play football. He has a tall figure but is not flexible. His realistic fake moves make it hard to tell the real from the fake, and he is full of aggressiveness. Passing the ball is often the panacea for Dortmund when they are incapable of scoring goals. Perhaps...for a long time to come, he will not be able to see his wonderful performance in the Bundesliga..."

Under the broadcast camera, Dortmund coach Klopp did not celebrate the goal as excitedly as before. He simply raised his fists, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and pursed his mouth. It feels like Dortmund lost. Ball instead of goal.

※※※

Half an hour into the game, Dortmund led by two goals, so that the Bayern star's desire to fight has dropped significantly.

Stars such as Robben, Ribery, Muller, Toni Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Ram and other stars are bleak at this time, because everyone's focus is on the most dazzling star in the 2012-2013 season body.

With two goals behind, Heynckes had no choice. He stood on the sidelines and quickly gave new instructions to the players on the field—attack!

Dortmund leads the score and has a certain advantage in the midfield, but they wisely choose to avoid their edge and put on a defensive posture to meet Bayern's indiscriminate bombing.

The lagging Bayern is very aggressive, but it always feels a little bit worse.

Possession time is constantly increasing, but the threatening shot has not come yet.

Loud thunder and little rain are taboos in football matches.

But for Bayern, luck is still pretty good, their Lewandowski and single-handed goals were resolved by Neuer, otherwise Bayern would have to face a 0:4 lag before the first half of the game was over.

The 15-minute intermission time passed quickly, and the second half changed sides to fight again. Before the start of the game, Bayern took the lead in making substitution adjustments, and they changed two people in a row.

Croatian striker Mandzukic replaced Gomez, and Shaqiri replaced Robben, who was in poor condition due to injury.

The purpose of Heynckes' substitutions is extremely strong, in order to refresh the offense and score goals as soon as possible to narrow the score.

Taking the six games he coached Bayern against Dortmund in the past as a reference, once there is no way to narrow the score, the probability of losing the game is infinitely close to 100%.

So in the last game of his coaching career, Heynckes had to go all out!

Winning and winning the German Cup will become the last fig leaf.

Whether it is against Heynckes or Bayern Munich, this is a battle of glory, and it is also a game that cannot be lost!

Two goals behind, it is tantamount to biking Bayern to the edge of a cliff.

Compared with the relentless attack at the end of the first half, the attack at the beginning of the second half was based on defense, so the Bayern fans at the scene and the Bayern fans in front of the TV no longer felt frightened.

Now it's Klopp's turn to have a headache, and Bayern's offensive and defensive transitions are normal, which means that the team is not putting enough pressure on Bayern.

So, he walked to the sidelines and made a gesture towards Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng nodded lightly, expressing his understanding.

In the first two or three minutes of the second half, it was indeed too easy for Bayern players to play the ball in the midfield. To reverse the unfavorable situation, it is necessary to strengthen the midfield press and reduce the pass success rate of Bayern's midfield.

Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos slowly discovered that they would always receive the attention of Dortmund players the moment before they got the ball. In order to avoid losing the ball, they basically took the ball and returned the football to the passer. player.

Harvey Martinez, Boateng and Dante all have a strong ability to play the ball, but their role has never been comparable to that of Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos and Ribery on the team's offense .

The headache came back to Heynckes, but there was really nothing he could do now.

It's not to say how strong Dortmund's defensive players are, but Tang Zheng's role on the defensive end is too great. As an attacking midfielder, he can often appear in the most critical position in the defensive stage, which leads to this Fangzhong will always encounter obstacles when he pours the ball in the frontcourt.

For this reason, the direction of attack had to be shifted frequently.

Although frequent shifting of the offensive direction can maintain control of the football, such an offensive method does not help the threat of offense except to increase the ball possession rate.

The purpose of shifting the offensive direction is to prepare for the cross, and Hummels and Subotic, a pair of central defenders who are over 1.9 meters tall, can control the high altitude very well. There is no way for Mandzukic to win with their cooperation. Little benefit.

The truly threatening offense still has to rely on the high-risk and low-yield offensive methods of through balls and oblique balls.

It's just that this method is easily intercepted by Dortmund's defensive players, and the consequence of the interception is the change of possession of the ball, from offense to defense.

The scariest thing about Dortmund is the transition from defense to offense. The tacit pass and the final pass in place are the core tactics of their quick counterattack.

Of course, the real core player was Tang Zheng.

As long as he organizes with the ball in the offense, he will be a threat.

Heynckes looked at Tang Zheng, who performed with ease, and he sighed. Such a good player was actually returned by the high-level in the summer of 2009...

Then, he sighed again.

The sigh this time is not because Bayern executives returned the goods to River Plate, but because Tang Zheng is likely to leave Dortmund to join Galacticos Real Madrid this summer.

It wasn't him Joseph Heynckes who benefited, but Josep Guardiola.

In the short time when Heynckes was too far away, Dortmund took advantage of the dead ball to request a substitution, and Kuba replaced Gundogan.

The intention of this substitution was quite obvious. Let Tang Zheng's retreating partner Sven Bender serve as the double defensive midfielder, Goetze was in the middle, and Royce and Kuba were separated on the two wings, using the speed of the two sides to fight Bayern's counterattack.

This set of tactics played handy when Tang Zheng played as a defensive midfielder. Whether it was the second round of the German national derby this season, or the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League, it played a vital role.

Less than half a minute after Kuba came off the bench, he received a long pass from Tang Zheng and played a quick counterattack. If it wasn't for Neuer's divine help, the current score would be Dortmund leading Bayern Munich 3-0.

Taking into account the strength of Dortmund's quick counterattack, Bayern's front and rear lines gradually became inconsistent.

The frontcourt wants to score goals to reduce the score, and the backcourt players hope not to seek merit but to seek no fault...

Heynckes still has the last card in his hand, but the game has not reached 70 minutes, he dare not use it, he is worried that the premature use of the three substitution adjustments will cause the follow-up game to lose control.

In the final analysis, Tang Zheng's Dortmund is quite invulnerable.

※※※

As Dortmund strengthened its midfield defense, Bayern's overall offensive quality declined significantly. In addition, Bayern's defensive players have been paying attention to Dortmund's quick counterattack, and the number of troops invested is still not enough.

Dortmund leads by two goals. The first thing they need to do is to ensure that they do not concede the ball, and the second is to attack, so the game has entered a stalemate.

In the 70th minute, Heynckes played the third card. Veteran Pizarro replaced left back Alaba, and the formation became three-five-two.

What Heynckes never expected was that within a minute after he made a substitution adjustment, Dortmund scored again!

The change from a four-back system to a three-back system is a great test for the overall defense. Ribery and Shaqiri, who served as wingbacks, did not understand defense enough, which led to reservations in the transition from offense to defense.

Tang Zheng took advantage of Ribery and left central defender Boateng's lack of protection for each other, and suddenly passed a long pass behind him from the backcourt. Then Kuba, who had not been on the bench for a long time, rode away like a wild horse, and then passed a pass from the right corner of the penalty area. Remember a very accurate cross to the ground.

Kuba's biography is very thieves. First, he bypassed Harvey Martinez at the front point, and the speed made Neuer dare not attack to get the ball.

Lewandowski, who outflanked and followed up in the middle, fell to the ground and stretched his legs to poke the ball towards the goal. The football passed between Neuer's legs and rolled into the goal...

"Wonderful quick counterattack!" Marcel Leff was ecstatic: "The game progressed to 71 and a half minutes, Dortmund led Bayern Munich 3:0! The victory is almost sealed! The first Bundesliga triple crown team Will be born here!!"

The Dortmund fans at the Olympiastadion in Berlin were happy like children, in stark contrast to the Bayern fans.

The goal had just been born, and many Bayern fans in the stands had chosen to leave early because they realized that it was impossible for Bayern to beat Dortmund.

Perhaps the best news for them is that next season Dortmund will not have Tang Zheng.

Although the game still has 20 minutes including injury time, there is no suspense for the audience.

The first Triple Crown team in the Bundesliga was born!

In the next game, neither team seemed to be very interested, until the 85th minute of the game, Toni Kroos suddenly caught the ball behind him, and then picked a pass behind him, the offside veteran Pizarro did not move, Franck Ribery slanted in from the wing to attack the left rib.

By the time Dortmund's defense realized that Bayern was offside, it was too late...

Tang Zheng focused and chased back immediately, but Toni Kroos' pass went straight to Ribery, and Tang Zheng was still a short distance away from Ribery.

"Ooh-oh--"

Accompanied by the loud exclamations erupting from the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Tang Zheng raised his right arm in the process of running back, like a volleyball player blocking a ball in the air.

Suddenly, the entire stadium was silent.

After completing this action, Tang Zheng did not plead with the referee. In the live broadcast, he was very calm. He first took off the captain's armband tied on his left arm and handed it to the goalkeeper Weidenfeller, then walked towards the referee Blüch with a smile on his face. , stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Shake hands, Mr. Referee."

Blüsch, who was about to give Tang Zheng a red card, was stunned for a moment, but his next reaction was quick, and he stretched out his hand to greet him.

Immediately, Tang Zheng held his head high, turned around and walked to the sidelines.

Blüsch looked at Tang Zheng's back, and it took about two seconds before he realized that he was going to show a red card.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng a long-range shot of his back, and Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, suddenly expressed his feelings: "We have thought of 10,000 ways to say goodbye, but we never thought that Tang Zheng would bid farewell to his yellow and black career with a red card... "
