Midfielder Ruler

Dortmund broke the deadlock in less than 20 minutes of the game, and the fans of the visiting team who came with the team were particularly excited. Their explosive momentum once suppressed the Villarreal fans who were ten times their size.

Looking at the situation on the field, Villarreal coach Garrido paced back and forth in the technical area of ​​the home team coach, standing still and looking at the far end of the field from time to time.

Because after two minutes of consideration, he finally chose to hold on first.

Dortmund, who took the lead, was not satisfied with an away goal. They were majestic and wanted to win the game in one go!

Forced to helplessness, Villarreal, who played at home, had to base themselves on defense, and their counterattack momentum had to play by ear.

The Valencia TV commentator frowned and said: "Juan Carlos Garrido must find a way to reverse the defeat, otherwise his team is likely to lose at home!"

Klopp leisurely returned to the visiting team's coaching bench with his legs crossed, only occasionally stretching his neck to look at the field, or turning his head to exchange views with his assistant Zeliko Buvac.

Dortmund, who took the lead, controlled the game at their own pace as always.

However, the Love Song Stadium is one of those typical small stadiums, which is not wide enough, which is not conducive to Dortmund's two-wing attack. The home team Villarreal, which is based on defense, can easily complete the defensive task.

"It seems... a small stadium is more suitable for defensive counterattack." Looking at the game situation, Klopp's mouth curved into an arc, and he said to himself.

What Tang Zheng did during the time when the score was behind was very simple, that was to protect the football, split the ball and shoot from long distances.

Due to Diego Lopez's excellent condition, Tang Zheng's long-range shots were all rejected by him.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang shook his head and said: "Diego Lopez, who is nicknamed 'Octopus', really deserves his reputation. His goal line skills are excellent, and he tries to keep the goal! Otherwise, Dortmund will score at least twice as a guest."

German sky commentator Marcel Leff nodded and praised Villarreal's defense: "Such a choice is understandable. Facing the unreasonable Dortmund this season, it is the most shrewd to take advantage of the small space to deal slowly. choose."

Musacchio was very tired from playing during this period, defending Barrios was already troublesome enough, and Tang Zheng stepped in from time to time to participate in the attack, making him overwhelmed.

Fortunately, through the concerted efforts of teammates, the score did not open.

In a blink of an eye,

Half an hour into the game, the situation is still dominated by Dortmund's anti-guest attitude.

No one wants to let the visiting team show off at their home court, and the same is true for the home team Villarreal.

Their current defense is not to admit defeat, but to endure, like a spring that is gradually squeezed, and when it is pressed to the extreme, it is when they explode.

Tang Zheng was going to take a long shot, but Senna was too tight, he couldn't find the space for the long shot. Just at this moment, he saw Kuba running towards the penalty area, so he chose to rub the pass to the penalty area.

However, under Senna's interference, his sight was not adjusted properly, and Musacchio's position was good. He was stuck in the position and he boldly headed the ball back to goalkeeper Diego Lopez.

Diego Lopez was fully prepared to hold the ball in his arms and defuse Dortmund's attack.

"Aww-"

The Villarreal fans shouted for Musacchio and Diego Lopez's chemistry.

At the same time, almost all Dortmund players fell into the habit of thinking that Diego Lopez would reasonably consume some game time, so the retreat speed was a bit slow.

One is to prevent Diego Lopez from throwing the ball to the defenders, and then he can press high in the first place. Second, he thinks that the home team Villarreal is just a monkey in the hands of Buddha, and there is no big trouble.

After all, it is a little lax.

The continuous attack in the past made them overconfident, thinking that Villarreal was a toothless tiger.

But Diego Lopez had a better view and he noticed Italian-American striker Giuseppe Rossi rushing towards the defensive halfway between Subotic and Schmelzer.

You must know that Schmelzer rushed even closer to the forward line than Gross Kreutz during this period. He has a huge space behind him, which is similar to Villarreal's first goal conceded.

At this moment, Tang Zheng seemed to realize that something was wrong, he saw that Diego Lopez did not have the habit of pressing the ball under him.

This……

Oops!

However, before Tang Zheng could take a step, Diego Lopez bypassed the central defender Marchena in front of him, let go of the football with his left hand, and the football fell freely.

"Boom"

Diego Lopez's right foot made a muffled sound as the instep hit the football.

The football was forced to fly out.

What's interesting is that the flight trajectory of the football is not high, it is flat and fast.

Seeing this, Klopp, who was sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team, had a 'thump' in his heart and stood up abruptly.

"Aww-"

The fans who came to the scene to watch the game were the ones who understood the game. They immediately realized that the situation was in their favor, and they reflexively erupted into loud cheers, which were deafening.

Villarreal coach Garrido naturally clenched his hands when he saw that the flight path of the football was exactly the same as that of Giuseppe Rossi.

If you can listen carefully, you can hear the crisp joint sound.

This shows how much pressure Garrido is under...

※※※

Giuseppe Rossi, like Dongfang Zhuo, was a Manchester United player. As a result, his growth failed to meet Ferguson's expectations, so he failed to get a contract from Manchester United.

Although he has not been recognized by Ferguson, it is only for top giants like Manchester United, otherwise he will not become the main player of Villarreal.

He didn't stop the ball while running, but directly ended the ball in Dortmund's defensive 30-meter area.

Nierma accelerated to throw off Hummels' defense and stood out from the entire back line of Dortmund.

Hummels, who consciously wanted to cause offside, raised his right arm subconsciously, signaling Nierma to be offside.

As a result, the assistant referee did not stop in place, but accelerated forward following Nierma's running, which means that Nierma was not offside!

"Aww-"

The shouting at the Love Song Stadium officially transformed from deafening to a tsunami, and the whole stadium seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.

Who says small stadiums can't create breathtaking sound?

Villarreal fans tell everyone with their actions that it is man-made!

Hummels, who failed to create an offside, seemed to have difficulty catching up with Nierma, so goalkeeper Weidenfeller had to abandon the goal.

However, Nierma's waving rhythm is very good, and he waded the ball to attack the right rib, preventing Hummels who was running empty from narrowing the distance.

In the blink of an eye, Nierma and Weidenfeller met on a narrow road.

"Will you throw it out?" Looking at Weidenfeller in the live broadcast, Marcel Leif's breathing became short of breath.

The answer is revealed in a second.

Nierma used the change in the center of gravity of his body to trick Weidenfeller into an emergency stop, and then slammed the ball to the right. After gaining the shooting space, he completed the shot immediately, and the football rolled to the near corner.

Hummels, who failed to catch up with Nierma, made a desperate leap and jumped up, avoiding the collision between the two and causing injuries.

As the football entered the net, the Villarreal fans at the El Estadio erupted even more vigorously, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more frenzied.

Villarreal's quick counterattack was more direct and deadly than Dortmund's, making Tang Zheng, who was watching the whole quick counterattack, shake his head.

※※※

Musacchio didn't run all the way from the backcourt to hug and celebrate the goal with the attacking players, but looked at Tang Zheng.

He had a certain awareness of the restricted area of ​​Tang Zheng's rubbing pass just now. You must know that he played with Tang Zheng on the riverbed for a whole year and a half. He knew Tang Zheng somewhat, so he had an accurate prediction.

Tang Zheng, who was standing on the spot with his hands on his hips, felt that someone was looking at him, so he frowned and turned his head to look.

He saw Musazio's half-smile expression.

Obviously, Musacchio meant some sarcasm.

In the final analysis, Dortmund's conceded the ball was caused by Tang Zheng's sloppy pass, otherwise Musacchio would not have the opportunity to easily return the ball to the goalkeeper.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng gave Musacchio, who was more than twenty meters away, a meaningful smile.

Then he stretched out his right hand again, with only his index finger exposed, shaking from side to side.

Suddenly, Musacchio's expression became ugly and he gritted his teeth.

Just when he also extended his right hand, ready to return the middle finger, Tang Zheng turned and walked back with a triumphant smile.

Looking at Tang Zheng's back, he thought of Tang Zheng's meaningful smile, and felt a little uneasy.

Although they only spent a year and a half together in the River Plate youth team and the first team, they knew Musacchio and Tang Zheng very well.

A confident smile does not mean self-confidence, but a strong desire to win.

Tang Zheng's success until now is inseparable from his strong desire to win.

Otherwise, Dortmund will not remain unbeaten in all competitions so far this season...

Of course, this is related to Dortmund's overall excellent performance this season, but it is undeniable that Tang Zheng's existence allows Dortmund to display the strongest combat effectiveness.

※※※

The game restarted, and Villarreal, who equalized the score, gained momentum. They hope to overtake the score in a short time!

However, Tang Zheng, who controls Dortmund's offensive rhythm, did not choose to drive the ball forward with a big foot. Instead, he used the perfect combination of body and technique to evade Nierma and Carney's tackles, and then passed the ball to Georgie calmly. Policy.

When Cazorla saw Gotze was holding the ball with his back, he immediately blocked it. As a result, Gotze didn't stick the ball, but passed it back to Tang Zheng who came to open up the receiving space.

In this way, Tang Zheng linked up the attacks of the midfielders by running, while ensuring the control of the football, it also dissipated the strong momentum brought by the home team to equalize the score.

"It's not easy!"

In a luxurious villa area in Madrid, a handsome middle-aged man with gray hair nodded and said.

"What's the matter, Jose?" His wife sat beside him and asked with raised eyebrows.

Mourinho still had that unsmiling expression, and said with a smile: "At a young age, you can have the ability to read the game no less than Xavi Alonso, and you can also have Lampard's ability to insert behind, I think... If there is a chance, I hope he will come to the Bernabeu, with him, it is easy to fight against Barcelona who are in full swing."

Matilde Faria was very surprised. It was the first time she heard her husband Mourinho give such a high evaluation at home. You must know that Barcelona, ​​known as the Cosmic Team, completely suppressed Real Madrid.

Just need this Chinese to be able to fight against the thriving Barcelona?

Incredible!

Mourinho turned his head and glanced at the surprised wife, and was not surprised.

In fact, when he himself said this sentence, he felt unbelievable, but after thinking about it deeply, it seemed that this possibility was really possible.

Harvey Alonso is very capable, but hesitating in coverage, speed, timing and post-insertion.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, was very decisive in these respects.

Just like Tang Zheng's pass error caused Villarreal's quick counterattack to form a goal, he was able to quickly calm down and organize the attack.

How much emotional control does this have?

The first leg of the Europa League semi-final at the Love Song Stadium continued, and the rhythm was developing in a direction that favored Dortmund under Tang Zheng's conscious control.

Villarreal coach Garrido, who thought that the team would be able to control the rhythm of the game in one fell swoop, shook his head.

He knew that he underestimated Tang Zheng's ability.

This player is not easy!

The division of labor between Tang Zheng and Shaxin is very clear.

Tang Zheng is in charge of running, connecting and distributing the ball, while Shaheen is in charge of defense and transition.

Sometimes the two take turns going forward to support the attack.

However, Villarreal coach Garrido made a decisive decision. He signaled the players not to rush to attack and overtake the score. The most urgent thing to do now is to stabilize the defense.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif once again praised Garrido: "It is no loss that this season is an excellent coach who can bring Villarreal to the top four in the league and the semi-finals of the Europa League. He knows that the team should When to attack, know when to defend and wait for your opportunity."

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang looked at Tang Zheng in the live broadcast and suggested: "Villarreal has obviously strengthened their defense, Tang Zheng should be more cautious in his choices."

Actually?

Tang Zheng had a plan long ago.

Senna and Cazorla consciously protect the top of the arc in the penalty area, and the two full-backs are also severely withdrawn to protect the space, and long-range shots will not work.

So Tang Zheng is going to use another way to break the density - set the ball.

The lack of height of Villarreal's defensive players is their disadvantage.

On the other hand, in Dortmund, Hummels, Subotic, and Tang Zheng are all big men over 1.9 meters, especially Tang Zheng. His jumping ability and accurate judgment of the landing point are the best for Villarreal. Yar's great threat.

In the 39th minute, Gotze took a corner kick on the right side of the attack. Tang Zheng beat Marchena and Musacchio and leaped high, but his header was too angled, and the football rubbed against the outer edge of the goal post and crashed into the back The billboard made a crisp crashing sound.

Musacchio panted heavily, propped his hands on his knees, looked up at Tang Zheng who was full of regret, and the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.
