Midfielder Ruler

"Hope your dreams come true!"

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked directly into Musacchio's eyes, his eyes were sharp and he didn't give in.

"Will do."

Musacchio also stared directly, without any thinking in his brain, and said with certainty.

"But I think if you want your dream to come true, you still have to do one thing." Tang Zheng's voice suddenly changed.

"What's the matter?" Musazio asked reflexively.

"go to sleep."

Hearing this, Musacchio realized that Tang Zheng had led him into a language trap again, so he rolled his eyes helplessly, pretending to be angry and said: "Wait and see, Tang!!"

"Hey~ I'm waiting!" Tang Zheng squinted his eyes and glanced at Musacchio, and suddenly said with a smile: "Wash your chrysanthemum, wait for your uncle to explode!"

"Get out! You fucking bastard!"

Musacchio couldn't help but scolded with a smile.

Afterwards, the two chattered a few more gossips before returning to their respective camps to prepare for the first round of the Europa League semi-finals in the 2010-2011 season.

Musacchio didn't walk away immediately after Tang Zheng turned around, but pursed his lips and looked at Tang Zheng's back.

His hands were clenched into fists, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "I will definitely defeat you! I believe it!!"

Although the Love Song stadium can only accommodate 23,000 people, the momentum that erupts is no less than those medium and large stadiums that can hold 30,000 to 40,000 people.

Through the efforts of double-handed fans, the atmosphere of this venue, which hosted the first round of the Europa League semi-finals of the 2010-2011 season, became extremely frenzied.

Hearing the voice from the stands, Cazorla patted Musazio's right shoulder, but his eyes followed Tang Zheng who had gone away.

Musacchio turned to look at Cazorla: "Santiago? Huh?"

"Believe me, we will definitely win the game." Casorla stretched out his right hand.

"Well, I believe." Musacchio also extended his right hand and clapped Cazorla's hands to encourage each other.

But when Musacchio looked at Tang Zheng who was going away from the corner of his eye, he always felt a little uneasy.

"Go, warm up."

Seeing that Musacchio was distracted, Cazorla pushed his elbow against the opponent's ribs.

"it is good."

With the whistle of the referee, Giuseppe Rossi kicked the ball to the striker partner Nierma, which means that the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals of the 2010-2011 season officially began.

The football was quickly passed to the central midfielder Cazorla, who chose the way to attack.

Barrios and Gotze rushed over from left to right, trying to delay the attack through high pressure or directly steal the ball to launch the attack.

But Cazorla's foot skills are very good, even if Barrios and Goetze are aggressive, he is not nervous at all, but just pulls, steps, and breaks through lightly.

At this moment, a long leg suddenly stopped in front of the football.

"Don—"

German sky commentator Marcel Leif, who was still announcing the starting lineups of the two sides, suddenly changed his voice and shouted.

Cazorla has a wide field of vision, but facing Tang Zheng's fierce and quick tackle, he has nothing to do. All he can do is to take off in advance to avoid injury.

Immediately, Tang Zheng threw the ball to Shaheen while falling to the ground.

Through Shaheen's handling, he passed quickly, and finally ended with a long shot from outside the penalty area by Barrios.

Villarreal goalkeeper Diego López is well positioned, holding the ball tightly in his arms.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang sighed: "Hey, it's a pity. If Barrios can handle it more calmly, I think the first wave of Dortmund's attack as a guest will not end so hastily..."

The German sky commentator Marcel Leif also shared the same opinion. He said: "Lucas Barrios is still too anxious. If the attack slows down a little bit and waits until Tang's back plugs in, I think it will The wave attack is more threatening!"

At the same time, Villarreal coach Garrido stood on the sidelines and yelled loudly at the players on the field: "Be careful, don't stick the ball too much! Pay attention to cooperation, cooperation! OK?"

Cazorla first waved to the head coach Garrido, indicating that he was careless just now, then looked at Tang Zheng with a satisfied face, clenched his hands, feeling very surprised.

Just now he had absolute confidence, that's why he chose to break through Barrios and Gotze.

The excitement at the beginning of the game was able to drive the team's state and the frenzied atmosphere at home, but what he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng would be so decisive in defending forward and boldly shoveling.

It was also Tang Zheng's decisive shoveling that caused Cazorla's improved state and atmosphere to have a counterproductive effect.

The more than 2,000 Dortmund fans who came with the team were very excited. They chanted almost crazily, showing their sense of presence.

Tang Zheng, who was running back, noticed that Youdao was looking at him, so he turned his head and looked over.

It is the core of Villarreal's midfield!

Santiago Cazorla!

Tang Zheng grinned, with a victorious expression on his face, he suddenly stopped and started to run towards Villarreal's defensive right flank, slid the tackle on the ground, and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Only then did Cazorla realize Tang Zheng's terror.

Unparalleled offensive talent, impeccable defensive skills!

Two successful defenses within one minute are Tang Zheng's representative works on the defensive end.

Excellent defensive awareness allows him to accurately predict the passing route of Villarreal.

For the team, even playing at home will be a very difficult game.

Feeling the same way was Musacchio, who tried his best to complete the clearance in the ensuing defense.

The commentator of the Valencia TV station said with lingering fear: "Villarreal, who sits at the Estadio de la Région, must find their own offensive rhythm as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be far from conceding the ball..."

※※※

Five minutes into the game, Villarreal head coach Garrido was pacing back and forth in his coach's technical command area, frowning, obviously considering new tactical changes.

The success rate of Dortmund's high pressure is beyond his imagination. If he fails to find a good way to attack, then the game will completely fall into Dortmund's offensive and defensive rhythm.

It would be excusable if this game was an away game, but the problem is that it is very aggrieved to be kicked by Dortmund at home now.

Even if the league hosts Real Madrid or Barcelona at home, there is no such sense of aggrievedness, so changes are imminent.

"beep~"

Musacchio was obviously at a loss when faced with Tang Zheng who was coming in from behind. He had no choice but to choose to start. The referee was good, caught him right, and blew his whistle.

As the team leader, Tang Zheng didn't have any scruples about his private friendship, he walked towards the referee with his hands outstretched, and at the same time made a gesture of drawing out cards.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

At the same time, huge boos broke out at the Love Song Stadium.

The fans of the home team expressed their strong dissatisfaction with Tang Zheng in this way.

Perhaps influenced by the home fans, the referee smiled and shook his head in the face of Tang Zheng's pressure, which meant that he was not going to give the card.

In fact, Tang Zheng was also mentally prepared. After all, Villarreal was playing at home, and it was normal for the referee to favor the home team a bit in terms of penalties.

The referee did not intend to give the card, and Garrido and Musacchio let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

If the main central defender receives a yellow card in less than ten minutes of the game, it will definitely have a profound impact on the next game.

Marchena has a comprehensive defense, but after all, he is a bit old, and his physical fitness has declined significantly compared to the previous few days, whether it is the speed of recovery or his jumping ability.

Therefore, Musacchio plays a very important role in Villarreal, and his existence can make up for the hidden dangers caused by Marchena's decline in physical fitness.

Likewise, Musacchio can make up for his shortcomings due to his youth and experience with Marchena.

Between the two, they are partners that make up for each other's shortcomings, and the two are indispensable.

Once anyone gets a yellow card, it will be a test for defense in the next game.

Fortunately, fortunately!

Villarreal's first shot came in the thirteenth minute when Cazorla made a cross from the right and was pushed out by Hummels. shoot.

As a result, an anti-aircraft gun was fired.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang said with a slightly ironic taste: "Is this really the Love Song Stadium? How do I feel that they are playing Dortmund as a guest? The first shot was completed in the 13th minute of the game..."

The reason why Huang Jianxiang said this is that Dortmund has completed three shots, two of which were within the range of the goal frame.

If it wasn't for goalkeeper Diego Lopez's excellent form, Gotze would have caught Tang Zheng's through ball and snatched a shot.

※※※

The frenetic atmosphere at the Estadio d'Or is still the same, they always go out of their way to make a lot of noise when Dortmund are on the ball, but when the home team is on the ball they erupt in loud cheers.

I don't know if the continuous shouts of the fans of the home team have infected the Villarreal players on the field. The center and front field offensive system with Cazorla as the core of the midfield has gradually developed a small-scale cooperation.

"This is the yellow submarine that shocked Europe!" The Valencia TV commentator felt elated.

Finally waited until this moment!

But the head coach Garrido didn't feel this way, and his eyes looked farther.

Villarreal's continuous offense did not make him feel safe, but he was worried about defense.

Both left-back Capdevila and right-back Gonzalo overwhelmed the midfielder. Capdevila, who is good at assisting, even entered the 30-meter area of ​​Dortmund's defense and used it as a left winger.

This situation is very bad. Dortmund's most successful tactic this season is not only a high press, but also a quick counterattack.

Whether it's Tang Zheng or Shaheen, even Hummels has the ability to pass the ball long.

If Dortmund seizes the opportunity, the chances of qualifying for the Europa League final this season will be much smaller.

So Garrido is going to remind the players to pay attention to Dortmund's counterattack when the ball is dead.

However, at this moment, Nierma took a weak shot in front of the goal and was embraced by Weidenfeller.

Villarreal from offense to defense, Dortmund from defense to offense!

"Oops!!"

Garrido felt a 'click' in his heart, feeling bad.

Weidenfeller threw the ball to Piszczek at the first time, and Carney, who was about to turn around and return to the defense, went straight up without any hesitation.

Piszczek didn't stop the ball, but kicked the ball to Tang Zheng.

Captain Senna has rich experience in the game, even without the special instructions from the head coach Garrido, he noticed Tang Zheng who deliberately retreated the moment he switched from offense to defense.

According to his research, this was the prelude for Tang Zheng to organize an attack with the ball.

as predicted! After receiving Weidenfeller's hand throw, Piszczek passed the ball directly to Tang Zheng.

Senna is the kind of defensive midfielder with strong defensive awareness and defensive ability. The defensive action is not big, but the effect is very good.

"Aww-"

When the fans of the home team saw the captain Cena rushing towards Tang Zheng, they immediately erupted into loud cheers, as if Cena's stepping forward to defend equaled a successful defense.

Tang Zheng has a wide field of vision, and before receiving the ball, he always likes to turn his head left and right to look at the opposing players around him.

So Cena's forward defense is within his detection range.

In the live broadcast, Tang Zheng didn't stand still and wait for the ball, but took the initiative to meet the football.

Senna had no choice but to move forward with Tang Zheng, striving to complete the defense.

Due to Tang Zheng's tall stature, Senna, who was only 1.77 meters tall, couldn't see football at all, he was aiming at people.

Tang Zheng who took the initiative to face the football stepped forward with his left foot while running, stepped on the football with the sole of his foot, and then pulled back hard.

Facing the football that suddenly appeared in sight, Senna subconsciously stretched out his left foot to reach the ball.

"It's over!" Senna, who had just stretched out his left foot, felt a little regretful and anxious.

I have to say that Senna's defensive awareness is really good, he chooses to foul when he can't touch the football with his feet.

But...would Tang Zheng, who is also a defensive midfielder, think otherwise?

Obviously, he was already prepared!

Otherwise, I will not take the initiative to meet football.

The purpose of facing football is to distance yourself from Senna!

At the same time, Tang Zheng raised his right arm consciously.

It takes time for Senna to go from an emergency stop to reach for the ball, and then to start to actively seek fouls.

Tang Zheng has a height of 1.94 meters, but his explosive power is very good. In addition, he was already prepared to raise his right elbow, and Senna capsized in the gutter!

He was a little unsteady and fell to the ground.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Huge boos immediately erupted in the air above the Love Song Stadium, and were given to Tang Zheng.

The referee's position was average, but from his point of view, both of them had hand movements, so they didn't whistle.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang subconsciously shouted when he saw Tang Zheng's wonderful move: "Beautiful! The goal is over! Tang Zheng swayed to Villarreal captain Senna!"

The German sky commentator Marcel Leif screamed almost crazy: "Brilliant way to pass! The Dortmund captain swayed to the Villarreal captain! Dortmund's chance!"

Tang Zheng caught up with the football that was pulled back with the sole of his left foot before, and then without stopping the ball, he directly swung the ball with his right foot and sent a long pass to his side to attack the left.

At the far end of the court, Gotze is accelerating towards the left space left by Capdevila!

Senna was knocked to the ground by Tang Zheng, Cazorla was too far away, and Capdevila's defense on the left had no one to defend.

In this case, the left central defender Mousacchio had to pull out to make up for the huge gap left by Capdevila.
