Midfielder Ruler

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

As Tang Zheng pulled the ball with his feet and turned around, the fans of the home team at the Love Song Stadium booed loudly.

While expressing their dissatisfaction with Tang Zheng in this way, they put pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee would blow his whistle to end Dortmund's attack.

But the referee had his own subjective judgment. He believed that both of them had hand movements, and Tang Zheng was just acting in self-defense, so he didn't blow the whistle.

"**!"

Villarreal coach Gary added a broken sentence.

It would be okay to say that it was other players who were knocked down, but it was Captain Senna who was knocked down!

Senna's role is extremely important for Villarreal. His scoring is very timely and his thinking is clear, his defense is not sloppy, and he can often obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum price!

In addition, Senna has rich game experience, strong ability to read the game, and knows where to appear in the defensive stage.

Now there is only one Cazorla who is strong and weak, how can he not feel worried?

In stark contrast, Dortmund coach Klopp, his excited upper body leaned forward half a step, with an exaggerated and hideous expression, looking very much looking forward to the next scene.

After Tang Zheng passed Senna, he didn't procrastinate at all, but directly made a long pass to his side to attack the right.

"Mario Gotze!!" Marcel Leif shouted as the live director switched shots.

Goetze, who was running at high speed, jumped up with his left foot, and extended his right foot to stop the ball half a meter in front of him.

Musacchio had to come to the left to attack and defend when Capdevila was not in the position. He was a little worried about the talented teenager Gotze who won the main position in Dortmund this season.

In other words, he was worried about Gotze's handling of the ball.

Gotze's foot skills are very good, his assault ability and one-on-one ability are particularly strong, he is one of the best in the Dortmund team, and the key is that he is calm when handling the ball and can pass a very threatening through pass.

It can be said to be a weakened version of Kaka.

So Musacchio just blocked Gotze's inward line and didn't take the initiative to grab it.

The current Gotze is no longer the one who first came to the green field. He now has a good timing of passing and controlling. He knows when to control the ball by himself and when to pass the ball.

No, he slowed down after attracting Musacchio, and then used the outside of his right foot to pass the ball to his side to attack the right rib at the moment Barrios advanced.

Quick counterattack is one of Dortmund's common tactics this season, and the players' running positions are very tacit.

Almost as soon as Gotze passed the ball, Barrios consciously ran to the space left by Musacchio's defense.

"pretty--"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif raised his voice an octave, shouting: "Dortmund's quick counterattack!"

Barrios's speed is not very fast, but wearing a black away jersey, he is like a black whirlwind passing at high speed from Dortmund's offensive right, startling countless grass clippings into the air.

Marchena's age has long passed the peak period, and his physical fitness has declined significantly. Whether it is explosive power or absolute speed, there is no way to compare with Barrios who is currently at his peak physical age.

The Villarreal players at the Love Song Stadium looked at the situation on the field and were very anxious, their hearts almost raised their throats.

From their visual point of view, Dortmund is in a three-on-four state.

Musacchio turned around to catch up with Gotze, and Cazorla chased back at high speed to fill the space left by Senna, that is, to act as a natural barrier in front of the central defender. Marchena was involved in the defense by Barrios left.

But now there is no need to act as a barrier. Since the two central defenders were pulled away from their defense zone, Cazorla's high-speed pursuit is to fill the vacancy of the central defender.

Gross Kreutz and Gonzalo fight for speed at the far end.

Villarreal's two central defenders are now involved in the defensive left by Gotze and Barrios, not in the central defensive area. Even if Cazorla fills the position, it will be difficult to reassure the home team fans in the stands.

As the head coach, Garrido knows best.

The Valencia TV commentator had to say frankly: "Villarreal's goal is going to be dangerous!"

※※※

"Ooh-oh--"

Suddenly, the fans of the home team on both sides of the center line of the Love Song Stadium burst into a tsunami-like exclamation.

Soon, exclamations quickly spread from these two sides to the entire stadium.

It wasn't that Barrios and Gotze pulled Villarreal's two central defenders out of their defense zone, but Tang Zheng, who was wearing a black jersey, swept across the center of the pitch at high speed like a black whirlwind.

Villarreal's two full-backs were very fast, gritting their teeth and chasing back at high speed.

But their absolute speed seemed to be much slower than Tang Zheng, because the distance they kept from Cazorla, who was chasing back at high speed, remained the same, while Tang Zheng was getting closer to Cazorla.

That's why the Villarreal players in the center of the field burst into almost hysterical exclamations.

After reporting for half a season, they are no strangers to Tang Zheng!

This third-line fighter got a double-double of 20+, and he is absolutely dangerous!

Gross Kreutz and Gonzalo battled wits and courage while running to the middle, fighting for every inch of ground!

Cazorla chased back at high speed, and his attention was all on making up for the loophole that the double central defender left, so he didn't have extra time to look back at the situation behind him.

At this moment, deafening exclamations suddenly sounded from the stands.

What the hell?

Cazorla felt a 'click' in his heart, and immediately realized that the situation was not good!

However, he couldn't help thinking about the situation on the court, because Barrios faced Marchena's one-on-one defense and used the shift of the center of gravity of his upper body to gain passing space. He vigorously swept the ball towards the arc top of the penalty area.

Seeing the football rolling towards the top of the arc of the penalty area, Cazorla had only one thought - to clear the siege!

With the camera cut of the live broadcast, the German sky commentator Marcel Leif suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted: "This is——"

"—Don!"

Cazorla, who was concentrating on preparing to clear the siege, didn't even notice Tang Zheng's approaching at high speed.

Diego Lopez, who was guarding the door, saw it clearly. Seeing that Cazorla was not guarded, he quickly shouted: "Santiago, pay attention behind you!!"

"Um?"

The sound produced by the Ballad Stadium was so loud that Cazorla couldn't hear Diego Lopez's words at all. He only saw the other party's expression, which seemed...very nervous.

Could it be?

Thinking of this, Cazorla hurriedly ran in the direction of the football, wanting to clear the siege ahead of time!

Tang Zheng's two powerful long legs were swinging so fast that he couldn't even see the swinging of his calf clearly!

Between lightning and flint, Tang Zheng and Cazorla were neck and neck.

And Cazorla also noticed Tang Zheng who appeared in the field of vision from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, there was such a question in his mind - how did he run so fast?

However, he didn't think about this question for too long in his mind. With a certain defensive awareness, he chose to shovel the incoming ball and wanted to complete the shovel.

"It must be successful!" Garrido, who was standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, clenched his fists, his brows dripped with sweat, and murmured in a voice only he could hear.

The results of it?

Tang Zheng took advantage of his height and long legs to rub the ball with the toe of his right foot while running, and the football was slightly lifted into the air by the obstacle.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Zheng kicked the toe of his left foot hard to the ground, and the whole person jumped up.

It was too late for Cazorla to stretch out his feet to trip someone, because... Tang Zheng took off by consciously clasping his knees and pulling them up, tightening his feet as much as possible.

Still the same sentence, when the legs are used up, they hate short legs!

Cazorla, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, had difficulty stretching his legs and tripping Tang Zheng, who was half a meter away from him.

※※※

"—it's over!"

Seeing Tang Zheng in the camera jump over Cazorla's defense, Marcel Leff roared almost crazily.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang continued to be passionate, propping up the commentary seat with his left hand, and leaning on the headset with his right hand, roaring loudly: "Tang Zheng picked up the ball before Cazorla completed the clearance, one-handed!!"

The Valencia TV commentator widened his eyes and exclaimed, "It's over!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

All the fans of the home team at the Love Song Stadium raised their voices hysterically, as if they were dying to see the last straw, hoping that their wild boos would interfere with the single-handed Tang Zheng.

Of course, there are also some devout fans who put their hands together and closed their eyes, praying to God, hoping that God will be with them at this moment!

And the Dortmund fans waved their fists excitedly, and did not forget to make a huge noise in their mouths to support Tang Zheng.

At the same time, Villarreal's main goalkeeper Diego Lopez abandoned the goal.

With a height of 1.96 meters, he covers a wide area. While attacking, he consciously spread his hands and swayed from side to side, like a moving octopus.

This move has been tried and tested in La Liga, and he has blocked countless Qian Feng's one-handed goals.

But Tang Zheng didn't take this move, he noticed Diego Lopez's attack the first time he landed, so he consciously used the toe of his right foot to pick towards the bottom of the football that fell back to the ground but bounced again.

Tang Zheng didn't have much power to pick the ball, but the effect was very good. The football instantly jumped high and flew towards the top of Diego Lopez's head.

Diego Lopez had thought that Tang Zheng would hit the far corner, the near corner, and even between the legs, so he paid special attention to the blocking of these three angles.

In the end, Tang Zheng chose a way he really didn't think of - lob shot!

It takes a certain amount of time for the human brain to mobilize the limbs to respond.

Even for professional goalkeepers who have undergone special training, their conditioned reflexes require the cooperation of local bodies.

Coupled with the fact that the distance between the two is not far, the reaction time left for Diego Lopez has been reduced by more than half.

By the time Diego Lopez stood on tiptoe, jumped, and reached out to touch the ball, it was already too late. His outstretched right hand didn’t even touch the shadow of the football. All he could do was as the enlightenment coach said—— Keep your eyes on the football.

The lucky Villarreal fans chose to close their eyes, they didn't want to see what happened next.

But many things will not happen if you don't want to see them. Objective facts cannot be changed!

The football flew past the outstretched right fingertips of Diego López to the highest point and began to fall, and then fell into the snow-white net in the far goal.

※※※

Seeing Tang Zheng break through Cazorla's last barrier in the middle lane, Marcel Leif looked forward to it: "What will Tang do?"

It wasn't until Tang Zheng chose to point the ball with his right foot that he said frantically, "Shoot!"

After about a second, Marcel Leff raised his arms and shouted: "The ball has been scored!"

At this time, the fanatical atmosphere at the Love Song Stadium dropped to its lowest point.

The Borussia Dortmund fans seized the opportunity to show themselves, roaring hysterically: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Hearing the sudden burst of shouts from the Dortmund fans, Tang Zheng opened his arms and turned a small corner, running towards his side to attack the left corner flag area.

He habitually clasped his knees, tensed his insteps back, and moved his knees forward, playing a sliding knee celebration.

"Go in, go in!" New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang said excitedly: "This is Tang Zheng's eighth goal in the Europa League this season. This goal also made him officially surpass Barrios and become the Dortmund's player with the most goals in the Europa League!"

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng a slow-motion replay of the entire goal after giving Tang Zheng the celebration, from the moment Tang Zheng pulled the ball under his feet and turned around to pass, until he picked the ball past Cazorla and scored the goal.

German TV Z2 commentator Michael Reti was excited: "This is a typical Down's goal. From the start of the attack to the end, he personally completed it!"

Not long after, the on-site director's footage was shown to Klopp, who was in command of the visiting team coach's area.

He once again showed his wild side to the fans, and his iconic combo made Dortmund, who was a guest, even more domineering.

After nearly ten seconds of buffer time, Marcel Leff's tone slowed down a bit. He said: "In the 19th minute of the game, Don's goal helped Dortmund break the deadlock. I think... the home team will face great difficulties Already!"

In fact, not much difference.

Due to Dortmund's counterattack and scoring, Cazorla had no time to participate in the offense because of his estimated defense.

You must know that Villarreal's offensive spirituality is entirely derived from Cazorla. His excessive attention to defense directly leads to the home team's lack of aura and aggression in offense.

The pressure on central defender Musacchio became more and more serious, especially when Dortmund got the set kicks and corner kicks in the frontcourt. Tang Zheng's terror was even more difficult to defend than he was in River Plate three years ago.

Strength, skill, better than ever!

Villarreal coach Garrido has a headache. He wants to strengthen the offense but dare not.

Dortmund's quick counterattack made him fearful, but if he doesn't strengthen the offense and let Dortmund get used to the current rhythm, then this game will really be difficult to play.

In other words, it will be more difficult to go further in the Europa League this season...

Dortmund coach Klopp was happy at this time and returned to the coaching bench, as if the game had nothing to do with him.
