Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 170: Two Number 10s

When the Dortmund team warmed up with fitness coach Oliver Bartlett, judging from the broadcast camera, there were no vacant seats.

The Dublin Stadium is basically divided into two camps, namely Dortmund fans who occupy the south stand of the stadium and wear yellow and black jerseys on both halves, and Benfica fans who occupy the north stand and wear red jerseys on both halves.

The fans of both sides also showed their sense of presence at this time.

Dortmund fans chanted hysterically, while Benfica fans booed almost crazily.

It didn't take long for the situation to change when the Benfica players came out to warm up, the Dortmund fans booed and the Benfica fans chanted.

This is a small tidbit before the game, and it did not have any impact on the warm-up players of both sides. They warmed up seriously under the leadership of their respective physical coaches.

"Hey guys! Get serious about warming up!"

"To pull the ligament, you must use your heart, strength and care!"

"Hurry up, run! Yes... that's it."

The 41-year-old Oliver Bartlett is the most athletic player in Dortmund's team and the loudest. players' ears.

In the other half, the Benfica fitness coach asked the players to warm up carefully.

The on-site director has already started working at this time, frequently switching the rebroadcast camera.

Central 5 does not have the right to broadcast the UEFA Europa League, but Central 5 negotiated with the senior management of New Wolf Sports before the final and purchased the secondary broadcast rights in mainland China. Therefore, fans who are used to watching the live broadcast of Central 5 can watch Tang Zheng’s Europa League through Central 5. Cup final!

In the 2010-2011 Europa League final, Central 5 was broadcast live by He Wei and Xu Yang in the Beijing studio.

After receiving the signal from the game site through the satellite, Yang 5 appropriately cut into the game site, even though the players on both sides were still warming up at this time.

As Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, the on-site director will definitely take care of him.

He Wei looked at Tang Zheng in the camera and said: "It looks like Tang Zheng's mental outlook is very good, tonight's UEFA Europa League final will be interesting!"

Later, Xu Yang talked about the injuries encountered by Dortmund and the situation they will encounter in future games: "The absence of Barrios and Gross Kreutz has a great impact on Dortmund.

Fortunately, Gotze came back in time and appeared on the substitute list..."

Just when the two sides were about to finish warming up, the on-site director switched to the VIP seats of the stadium and gave Eusebio, a famous player in the history of Portuguese football.

Commentator He Wei talked about yesterday's "Sports Weekly" reprinted the content of the European media "Telegraph": "Twenty-one years ago, Eusebio went to Bella Gutman's grave before the 1989-1990 Champions League final. The previous prayer was 21 years later. Eusebio, who is 68 years old this year, once again went to pray at the grave of the legendary Benfica coach Bela Gutman. He did not know that he had lost all five Champions League finals and one UEFA Cup. Will Benfica change their fortunes in the next Europa League final..."

In the live broadcast, Eusebio was talking and laughing with UEFA officials, but he was a little nervous.

Losing all the past six finals of European competitions, he thinks it's the damn "Gutmann's Curse"!

Twenty-one years ago, he went to the grave to pray for the team, and he went there again after twenty-one years. He didn't know if the damn curse would stay away from Benfica, otherwise he would have to wait until his death and then intercede in person...

As early as Dortmund entered the Europa League final, coach Klopp made targeted deployments based on the team's strengths and weaknesses, but later had to make some adjustments as Barrios, Gross Kreutz and Gotze were injured. Change.

But the theme framework of tactics has not changed, so the head coach Klopp in the locker room only strengthens the players' tactical memory and understanding.

Seven or eight minutes before the game, UEFA staff reminded the players of both sides to go to the player channel and prepare to enter the field.

Captain Kyle clapped his palms vigorously: "Brothers, come on!"

"come on!"

Immediately, the other team members shouted tacitly.

The competition is about technology and tactics, as well as the fighting spirit and spirit of the players on both sides.

Klopp stood there, looked at the energetic and fighting disciples, and nodded with satisfaction.

Players from both sides meet in the player tunnel and line up in two rows.

The on-site director also switched to the player channel to show key players from both sides.

Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, and Aimar is the absolute core of Benfica, so the two of them received the most attention from the live broadcast.

Through the broadcast signal, the fans sitting in front of the TV can see that the players on both sides did not communicate with each other. They were all chatting with their teammates to relieve the pressure brought by the final.

But there are exceptions to everything. Benfica core Aimar saw Tang Zheng and walked over.

"Huh?" Tang Zheng looked down at Aimar, who was almost a head shorter than him, with some doubts.

Tang Zheng had a certain understanding of Aimar.

Of course, the understanding here is not about Aimar's personal abilities and characteristics, but that Aimar and Tang Zheng also came from the River Plate youth training camp, and they are outstanding products of the River Plate youth training camp.

"You are very strong, I hope you will be merciful in the next game." Aimar stretched out his right hand and said jokingly.

Tang Zheng stretched out his hand instinctively to win, and patted Aimar's shoulder with his left hand: "You are joking, you are an old senior, you should be the one to show mercy."

"Martin is indeed right. He is excellent in every aspect, but..." Aimar suppressed his smile, looked at Gaitan from the corner of his eye, and said seriously, "You have to be careful."

How does Tang Zheng have the same name?

Through Aimar's eyes, he saw Gaitan, smiled, and did not speak.

Gaitan can be taught a lesson in the Argentine domestic league, let alone the Europa League final?

"I think you should be careful, Pablo." Tang Zheng laughed.

"You kid." Just when Aimar was about to say something, the referee reminded the players on both sides that they were going to enter the field, so he made a long story short: "See you in the game."

"See you at the game."

Tang Zheng and Aimar, who represented their respective teams in the UEFA Europa League final, were from the same division, so the live director had a keen insight into the preciousness of this shot.

British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said: "Judging from the rebroadcast footage, Don and Pablo Aimar don't look like mortal enemies who are about to start a decisive battle at all. "

As the two returned to their respective queues, Andy Gray changed the subject and said excitedly: "The 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League is about to kick off! The Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund won the game, or the Portuguese Super League runner-up. Benfica? Let's wait and see..."

"CCTV CCTV, what you are watching is the live broadcast of the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League final. Tang Zheng led Dortmund to face Benfica. Dortmund are wearing traditional yellow and black jerseys and black trousers. They look from the left side of the camera. Attacking from the right side, Benfica in the red jersey and white shorts, attacking from the right to the left of the camera..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei has a set of standard commentary lines.

"Hello viewers, this is the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League final broadcasted by New Wolf Sports. Dortmund and Benfica. Before that, Dortmund had already won the league championship and entered the German Cup final. Dortmund this season is very likely to win the Triple Crown..."

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang said.

"The 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League final has already begun. The first kick-off is Dortmund, which has been drawn by the home team. This season, Dortmund has gone smoothly in the Bundesliga. They won the league championship early and the German Cup also entered the final. It is a pity that the main striker Lucas Barrios missed this game due to injury..."

German sky commentator Marcel Leif said.

As Gotze's soleus muscle injury has not completely healed, he can only sit in front of the bench and wait for orders. In order to ensure the creativity of the offensive line, Tang Zheng plays the front midfielder, and Kyle and Shaheen partner as double midfielders.

Japanese international Shinji Kagawa played on the left, Kuba on the right, and Lewandowski at the front of the striker.

The back line is still standard in the Bundesliga this season, Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels and Pischek, and the goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller.

Benfica also ranked their strongest lineup. The goalkeeper is Brazilian Cesar, the four defenders are Coentrao, Luizon, Faria and Amori, and the double midfielder partners are Garcia and Martins. Marr played the attacking midfielder, and the two full-backs were Gaitan and Saviola.

Considering that Dortmund's double central defenders are Subotic and Hummels, the striker sent by Benfica coach Jesús is the tall Paraguay striker Oscar Cardoso.

Judging from Benfica's formation, they obviously came prepared.

In the absence of Gotze, Tang Zheng will take on greater responsibility for organizing the offense, so Garcia, who is physically strong and flexible, is a targeted defense against Tang Zheng.

In order to organize more attacks with the ball, Tang Zheng had to retreat to the 40-meter area to get the ball, and sometimes even returned to the midfield.

However, Tang Zheng is not very unfamiliar with this kind of attack with the ball. In the 2009-2010 German Cup final, he played like this, which caused Bayern Munich to complain and finally lost the game.

Obviously, Jesús studied Dortmund's rogue tactics before the game, so when Tang Zheng retreated to a deep position, the rear midfielders had to stick to the defensive area, and the pressing work was handed over to forward Cardoso and two Edge.

Even so, Tang Zheng completed Dortmund's first shot.

He sent the football to the right side of the attack through active running. Kuba and Piszczek sent a precise cross before the football crossed the baseline.

After entering the penalty area, Tang Zheng overwhelmed Garcia and Benfica captain Luisson to complete the header. What made Dortmund fans feel sorry was that Tang Zheng's header was at a straight angle. Goalkeeper Cesar subconsciously reached out to block it. The crossbar did not fly out of the bottom line.

So Benfica coach Jesús felt very nervous. He walked back and forth on the sidelines, and from time to time, he used rich body movements to indicate that the players should pay more attention to the game.

And Benfica's first shot also came from No. 10. Aimar received a pass from Gaitan in a very comfortable position. Tang Zheng couldn't block it, and Aimar got a long-range shot.

Fortunately, Weidenfeller was full of attention and made a wonderful save in the face of the football emerging from the crowd.

Both Dortmund and Benfica's shots were completed by their respective No. 10s. He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, said: "The products produced by the River Plate must be high-quality products. This sentence may not be controversial. Tang Zheng and Aimar, who are also from the River Plate Youth Academy Playing for a team with a very dangerous shot..."

Next, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game suddenly accelerated.

Tang Zheng and Aimar contributed a very penetrating through ball to the game, which caused a burst of exclamation in the Dublin Stadium.

After receiving Tang Zheng's exquisite pass, Lewandowski didn't adjust his pace, and directly fired the anti-aircraft gun.

Benfica striker Cardoso is tall, but his turning speed is slow and his movements are slow. His shot was resolved by Hummels' sliding tackle.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray commented: "No one thought that the 2010-2011 Europa League final would be so open. The two sides did not hold back at all. Their offense was extremely threatening!"

As soon as Andy Gray finished speaking, Kuba used his speed to force Coentrao on the right, and then completed the cross. Lewandowski missed the opportunity again, causing lingering exclamations from the Benfica fans area.

It was Benfica's turn to attack, and the football reached Aimar's feet again through continuous passing.

Tang Zheng didn't have the chance to fight Aimar directly due to his position. Shaheen, who was facing up against Aimar, struggled defensively. The 32-year-old Aimar lifted his foot and shot after finishing the breakthrough, and the football went slightly wide of the goal.

This time it was the turn of the Dortmund fans to burst into loud exclamations.

The cheers and exclamations erupting from the sky above the Dublin Stadium continued, like two intertwined opposing energies, which continued to impact.

It was not until the tenth minute that the two sides of the game slowed down their offensive rhythm.

In this regard, the fans of both sides let out a sigh of relief.

If the game keeps going at this fast pace, those fans with heart disease are likely to die...

Tang Zheng and Aimar, also from the River Plate youth training camp, dominated the first ten minutes of the game, making the Europa League final frenetic atmosphere at the Dublin Stadium continue to be high.

The pace of the game slowed down, and those supporting actors slowly had a chance to play.

Especially Benfica's Gaitan, he was very upset that Tang Zheng's performance in the past ten minutes was eye-catching, so after ten minutes the football came to his feet and started a breakthrough mode.

In the initial stage, Gaitan's dribbling advantage showed an advantage, but with Tang Zheng's side defense, Gaitan's breakthrough success rate dropped to the lowest.

So much so that the head coach Jesús had to go to the sidelines to signal Gaitan to pass the ball.

The meaning of Aimar's existence can only be reflected when there are more passes in the game.

The same is true for Dortmund. In the final, the two No. 10s of both sides organized the offense through their own understanding of the game, striving to break through the opponent's goal.
