Midfielder Ruler

Although Tang Zheng is tall, his movement frequency is not slow, and growing up in Argentina, he is very skilled at his feet, can pass and shoot, and has gorgeous statistics in all aspects. Even if Garcia is close to him, it is difficult to restrain Tang Zheng. Zheng's offensive attributes.

Aimar got consecutive good shots at the front of the penalty area. It can only be said that the Europa League final made Shaheen a little nervous. In addition, Aimar's game state is really good. It can also be understood that Benfica's threatening offenses all come from Aimar.

The first ten minutes of the game were spectacular, with a total of seven shots from both sides, three from Dortmund and two from Benfica.

But if you look at the problem in detail, you will find that Dortmund's offense is more comprehensive. Forward Lewandowski took two shots, Tang Zheng and Kuba each completed one shot.

And Benfica's threatening shots all come from Aimar, which is too monotonous.

As the offensive rhythm slowed down, Dortmund's midfield defense gradually increased restrictions on Aimar.

Aimar, who is 32 years old this year, is not as physically fit as he was back then, and both Shaheen and Kyle are playing in the Bundesliga, which emphasizes physical confrontation. The physical confrontation ability is stronger, and it is difficult for Aimar, who is neither tall nor strong, to play again. As star-studded as the first ten minutes of the game.

Tang Zheng was different, he was young and strong, with abundant physical strength, able to attack and defend well.

One of Dortmund's core exclusives is high-position pressing. Tang Zheng, who has a strong defensive ability, is like a defensive midfielder with a forward midfielder during the team's transition from offense to defense. become normal.

In the face of Dortmund's high pressure, the Benfica players can only pass one continuous kick or clear the siege in order to avoid conceding the ball.

But no matter the choice, football will soon fall to the feet of Dortmund players.

Continuous one-foot pass is a test of the player's basic skills and vision, and not all Benfica players have good foot skills and vision, so continuous one-foot pass and big-foot clearance are tantamount to the ball actively changing hands.

In the seventeenth minute, football came to Gaitan again.

After receiving the football, Gaitan noticed from the corner of his eye that Shaheen hadn't made up his defense yet, and he wanted to make a breakthrough.

"Be careful!"

However, at this moment, Aimar, who was about to respond, suddenly shouted.

Gaitan subconsciously stretched his feet to pull the ball backwards,

The action rate is fast.

But in the end, it was half a beat too late, Tang Zheng fell to the ground and shoveled, even with the ball and others.

The chief referee on duty blew his whistle after a little hesitation, signaling Tang Zheng to foul.

"NONONO!!" Tang Zheng didn't even look at Gaitan, but stood up and faced the referee with his hands outstretched and innocent face: "Mr. Referee, I obviously scored the football first."

The referee was very patient, and he explained: "According to the latest rules issued by FIFA, shoveling from the side to the rear is very likely to cause huge injuries to the players, so I hope your actions will be restrained."

"Okay." Tang Zheng could only shrug his shoulders and agree with the referee.

Gaitan, who fell to the ground, covered his right foot with both hands, grinning in pain.

He thought Tang Zheng did it on purpose!

Actually?

Tang Zheng did it on purpose.

He remembered that Gaitan had a very bad temper two years ago. This time, the defensive action between fouling and non-fouling was to leave a seed of anger in Gaitan's heart...

In the case that multiple main players cannot appear on the field, it is necessary to use the rules as much as possible to increase the team's chances of winning.

Although Dortmund's actual combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Benfica, the game is often full of variables. In order to ensure victory, this is the only way to go.

※※※

Aimar drove a direct free kick on the left side of the attack. The football was pushed out by Subotic, but the football was taken by Martins who was protecting the front of the penalty area.

Forced by Shaheen's forward pressure, Martins, one of the double midfielders, did not dare to control the ball. He directly swung his kick towards the incoming ball.

Martins was not originally the kind of organizational midfielder known for handling the ball. Naturally, his shooting was not flattering, and he directly fired an anti-aircraft gun.

The game continued, and the atmosphere of the Europa League final at the Dublin Stadium was still frenetic. Dortmund fans, Benfica fans and neutral fans chanted almost crazily, which made the players on both sides of the game show their better selves.

The scouts from various giants who came to the scene nodded their heads, especially Tang Zheng, No. 10 of Dortmund, whose performance was amazing.

As a midfielder, he can not only complete the important task of organization well, but also can complete the tasks assigned by Klopp well when defending.

British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray has commented on high-level games all the year round, and he also has a certain understanding of Tang Zheng. He shook his head and said: "It is undeniable that Tang's personal ability is very good, but Jurgen Klopp has given him both offensive and defensive ends." Too many responsibilities make it impossible for him to focus more on offense. After all, human energy is limited, and his position is an attacking midfielder rather than a central midfielder..."

In fact, it was not the case. Klopp's strict demands on Tang Zheng were entirely because Tang Zheng's abilities were too comprehensive. Considering the scene factors and the lack of personnel, it was understandable to make such a choice.

If possible, Klopp even hopes that all players can be as comprehensive as Tang Zheng, which can enrich the team's tactics.

As the competition progressed, Tang Zheng's excellent ability to read the competition gradually showed its power.

It's just because Garcia's continuous close defense hasn't fully shown.

However, Tang Zheng's continuous large-scale running has already made Garcia feel a lot of pressure. The game was only twenty-five minutes into the game, and he seemed to have played for an hour.

If that continues for the rest of the first half, he's concerned about how he will hold up in the second half.

Although the Europa League final is not as good as the UEFA Champions League final, it is still the top European league after all, with a high gold content.

Besides, many players can't participate in this final after working hard all their lives. Now that he has such an opportunity, he hopes to put in all his efforts to help the team win the game.

He clearly remembered that before the game, the head coach Jesús pulled his arm and said seriously: "Andre, your task is very important! It is not an exaggeration to say that if you complete the task perfectly, you will be the team's champion. The biggest hero!!"

Before the start of the game, he didn't think much of Tang Zheng, and he didn't know until now that the best player in the Bundesliga this season really deserved his reputation!

Gaitan wants to show himself in front of Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng's ability has grown beyond imagination. Whenever he tries to do one or two, Tang Zheng always predicts and prepares to make a key defense.

So much so that Gaitan didn't dare to try to break through, so when he received the football again, he didn't choose to break through, but passed the ball to Aimar who responded, but his pass was once again predicted accurately by Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng fell to the ground the moment Gaitan passed the ball and kicked the ball to Piszczek.

Piszczek immediately handed it over to Tang Zheng, who got up, that Gaitan was responsible for the wrong pass. Without hesitation, he stretched out his foot from the side and rear and knocked down Tang Zheng who was turning around to meet the ball.

Tang Zheng, who was violated, took advantage of the opportunity and rolled two laps on the green grass, giving the referee a visual impact.

"beep~"

The referee on duty blew his whistle decisively, and then gave Gaitan a yellow card.

Seeing Gaitan get a yellow card, Tang Zheng, who was clutching his ankle just now, immediately stood up, jumping up and down.

Where is the pain from just now?

"Oh shit!!"

Gaitan spit out a mouthful of saliva.

Captain Luisson almost frightened his soul when he saw Gaitan's action, he quickly pushed Gaitan away.

If the referee thinks this is disrespect to himself, he will definitely make up a yellow card.

When two yellows turn into one red, there will be a turning point in the game!

But the referee didn't see this, he lowered his head and wrote Gaitan's number '20' on one side of the yellow card to avoid mistakes at that time.

A bad pen is worse than a good memory.

But this scene was seen by Tang Zheng, he felt a little pity.

Immediately, he also noticed Gaitan's gaze and sneered in his heart.

Just you scum?

So stunned!

※※※

Gaitan's yellow card is the first yellow card of Benfica, but also the first yellow card of the game.

Soon, Benfica received another yellow card.

The defensive champion Garcia had to hug Tang Zheng behind him after being broken through by Tang Zheng using the 'Marseille Manoeuvre'. Tang Zheng froze because of this, and opened his arms to face the referee.

Since Garcia is already the last defensive player in Benfica's central defense, Tang Zheng used to face the central defender directly. Garcia's defense is not allowed by the progress of world football rules.

So the referee on duty immediately showed a yellow card and gave it to Garcia.

In just two minutes, Benfica received two yellow cards. Coach Jesús was very dissatisfied. He came to complain next to the fourth official.

He believes that the referee's penalty scale is not fair enough.

Actually?

it's not true.

Dortmund's defense is mainly based on high-position oppression, and the defense is completed by maintaining a good position between each other. In the defensive stage, it also uses active running to form a multi-defense, and never easily shoots.

Coupled with Tang Zheng's active oppression of the midfielder and front, combined with Kyle and Shaheen, the defensive stage can be said to be watertight.

After being active in the first ten minutes, Aimar was greatly suppressed in the next game time, so that Benfica's offense was greatly suppressed.

Forward Cardoso is the kind who needs two kick-offs from the wing to support, and Aimar's restrictions make it impossible for Benfica's offense to start smoothly.

Dortmund began to take the initiative, and Benfica became dangerous and jittery in front of the goal.

"Before the game, I thought that the lack of Mario Gotze and Lucas Barrios would have a great impact on Dortmund's offensive, but Don's performance was world-class, and his presence made up for the lack of the team. " Marcel Leif looked at Tang Zheng in the camera and said excitedly.

In a blink of an eye, the game entered half an hour.

Benfica was forced by Dortmund's targeted tactics, and they had to defend passively.

The head coach Jesus stood on the sidelines and walked back and forth, looking nervously at the court from time to time, directing the players to change their tactics.

It just doesn't look good.

In the 39th minute, Dortmund turned from defense to offense.

The Benfica players took into account Dortmund's quick counterattack. Except for the forward players stretching their feet at will, the other players filed back to their own half to organize the defense.

Tang Zheng didn't signal his teammates to pass the ball forward, but pressed down with both hands, signaling to slow down the attacking rhythm and advance slowly.

After passing by multiple feet, the football advances to the 30-meter offensive area in the front field.

Tang Zheng raised his left elbow, pushed Garcia away reasonably, and then motioned for Kuba to pass the ball across.

Garcia wanted to stretch out his foot to steal the ball, but Tang Zheng's reasonable raising of his left elbow made him farther away from the football. He could only use his hands to pull towards Tang Zheng's jersey by his side, preventing him from gaining speed.

However, after running with Tang Zheng for most of the first half, there were some problems with his physical fitness, which brought about a decline in physical confrontation.

Tang Zheng raised his right foot to step on the ball, while Garcia tried his best behind him.

Suddenly, after passing the football, Kuba ran to the attacking right rib, which is Benfica's defensive left rib.

Kuba's speed is fast and explosive. It is unrealistic for the left back Coentraang to chase after Kuba after being half a beat behind. Garcia's midfielder.

Garcia's defensive awareness is very strong, and his field of vision can be regarded as wide. When Tang Zheng crossed his elbows and Kuba passed Tang Zheng's body at high speed, even if he used his toes to think about the problem, he knew that Tang Zheng and Kuba were the same. I want to make a match.

So Garcia gave up marking Tang Zheng, and pulled Tang Zheng's jersey to borrow strength, and then stepped forward to block Kuba to catch Tang Zheng's foot stepping forward.

But at this moment, an accident occurred.

Kuba, running forward, stretched his left foot forward and missed the football.

Of course, it wasn't that Kuba did it deliberately, but Tang Zheng had a flash of inspiration, he pulled the ball back suddenly with the sole of his right foot, and Kuba, who was about to cooperate with Tang Zheng, was stunned for a moment.

Fuck?

Even the head coach Klopp standing on the sidelines is like this. In the team tactical drill before the game, Tang Zheng used his good body to interfere, and then Kuba or other players stepped forward to kill the ball. Bleed out.

But……

Tang Zheng pulled the football back with the soles of his feet, just like playing with a defensive player's interception.

But Klopp was just surprised, he knew Tang Zheng very well.

There must be a reason for doing so!

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng took advantage of the moment Garcia took a step, and slammed the football forward, tantamount to using Kuba as a cover to widen the shooting angle and adjust the pace.

At a distance of about 26 meters from the goal, Tang Zheng swung his right foot without hesitation.

"Don!" Marcel Lev raised his voice: "Shoot directly!!"

"Aww-"

At the same time, the Dublin Stadium burst into loud cheers.

Tang Zheng's right foot was like a rounded bowstring, and he shot it with a 'swish'.

Because Tang Zheng adjusted his pace forward, he gave the goalkeeper Cesar and the defensive players some time to prepare.

The moment Tang Zheng finished shooting, Cesar moved two steps towards the near corner, then saw the football coming, and threw it sideways.

But in his prediction, he didn't expect that there would suddenly be captain Luisong in Tang Zheng's shooting route.

The moment Tang Zheng adjusted his steps and swung his right foot to shoot, Luisson gave up helping to defend Lewandowski, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest, and jumped up sideways, wanting to use his flesh and blood Block Tang Zheng's shot.

Louison's block did indeed act as a block, as the football hit the upper edge of his left thigh.

The contact area is so thin that the football doesn't fly high, but changes direction slightly...

The football, which was supposed to fly towards the near corner, turned into the middle.

"refraction!"
