Midfielder Ruler

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and neither side made any adjustments to the game personnel in the first half.

"With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League final officially begins!" Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Tang Zheng who suddenly appeared in the broadcast camera and was excited: "Beautiful! Tang Zheng, Sha Xin A sudden attack with Cuba led to a bad pass by Aimar."

Dortmund's aggressiveness in the second half was even stronger. They put a high pressure on the Benfica players at the first moment of the opening, so that it was difficult for experienced players like Aimar to adapt.

Possession changed hands, and Dortmund grabbed the ball and organized the attack in less than ten seconds of the second half.

Fortunately, the Benfica players did not press hard at this time, and the defense ended in a foul by Coentrao.

Dortmund's offensive direct free kick on the right did not form an effective shot, and Benfica switched from defense to offense.

Gaitan and Saviola switched positions, and Schmelzer was a little uncomfortable. Previously, Saviola chose to pass from the side, while Gaitan could cut inside, or kick the ball back from the bottom to pass. middle.

Jesús hoped that the offensive tactics played by the team in the first ten minutes of the second half were played out. The first kick in the second half hit the goal range. Gaitan suddenly kicked back the ball with his right foot after the breakthrough and formed a direct pass with his left foot. , Paraguayan center Cardoso overwhelmed the underprepared Hummels to complete the header.

"Beautiful!" The Portuguese commentator said excitedly: "This is the attack that Benfica should have! Come on Benfica!!"

The Portuguese legend Eusebio, who was sitting in the VIP seat, nodded. Although the attack just now was not the ground transmission that Benfica is used to, Jesús' flexible tactical adjustment made his eyes shine.

Immediately, he looked at Gaitan who sent a wonderful cross, and said in a voice only he could hear: "Not bad, he is a good player."

However, Dortmund's offense was also somewhat different from the first half. Shinji Kagawa, who almost disappeared in the first half, frequently came to the middle of the pitch, sharing Tang Zheng's offensive pressure like Gotze.

Shinji Kagawa, who has a strong sense of cross-cutting and cooperation, is like a fish in water. While Benfica's offense has improved, Dortmund's usual tactics this season have also been played out.

The Japanese commentator praised Kagawa Shinji's performance in the second half very much. He said that he was elated, and he almost said that Kagawa Shinji was the best player in Dortmund this season.

The two sides are attacking and defending each other, but because the input of troops is not very large, there is no threat to the goalkeeper's attack.

The game then entered a stalemate.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray, based on his rich experience in watching football, gave his opinion: "If this state continues, scoring can only rely on luck, just like the goal in the first half."

In a blink of an eye, ten minutes passed in the second half of the game. Although the two sides attacked, they failed to score.

Klopp turned his head and glanced at the bench, and found that there was no player with the ability to change possession except Gotze.

Until then, he realized that the team's lineup was not thick enough.

Dortmund will return to the Champions League next season, and if they want to go further, they must have a thicker bench.

He said in a voice that only he could hear: "It seems that I should go to Michelle's office if I have time."

During the time when Klopp was wandering too far, the two sides of the game switched offense and defense, and Dortmund switched from defense to offense.

This time Benfica's defense was a little different. While maintaining their retreat speed, they also sent a single person to restrict Tang Zheng's activities during the transition from offense to defense.

For Garcia's marking, Tang Zheng didn't have any surprises, instead he ignored Garcia's existence and signaled Shaheen to pass the ball over.

The football rolled towards Tang Zheng, Garcia became nervous for a moment, but Tang Zheng didn't intend to stop the ball, but got stuck in the position, and then with his back to Shinji Kagawa, he used his left foot to arch the right back and force one end.

Benfica right back Amaury saw the football reach Shinji Kagawa's feet, he did not continue to run back, but suddenly pressed forward.

Kagawa Shinji and Tang Zheng's cooperation is naturally far inferior to that of Gross Kreutz and Shaheen, after all, they have too little time to play together and lack a sense of tacit understanding.

So Shinji Kagawa was a little underprepared for Tang Zheng's pass, and his stop on the wing was a little too big.

Originally, he only needed to put the ball well, and then send the ball to Tang Zheng, who was close to Garcia to complete the turn, to form a beautiful two-two.

But Shinji Kagawa stopped the ball too much, causing him to run back an extra step to control the ball.

"This pass is a bit amateurish." Central 5 commentator He Wei said firmly.

Amori, who was staring at Shinji Kagawa, his eyes lit up, and rushed towards Shinji Kagawa like a cheetah.

Amaury's attack was too sudden, Kagawa Shinji was unexpected, it was too late to get a position, the football was poked off by Amaury's foot behind him!

Shinji Kagawa, who was intercepted behind Amaury, stopped on the spot and raised his hand to complain to the referee for a foul, but the referee ignored it.

Schmelzer reacted quickly, and immediately grabbed Gaitan's jersey who was about to turn around and run behind him.

Amaury had no choice but to pass the football to Garcia who was marking Tang Zheng forward but was left behind by Tang Zheng.

However, this pass is currently the most suitable Benfica player on the field to receive the ball.

Tang Zheng didn't complain to the referee like Kagawa Shinji did, he followed the football rolling towards Garcia to complete the turn, and then rushed out like a wild horse, catching up with Garcia.

He saw the timing right behind Garcia's right, and a very precise sliding tackle kept the ball in place.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif chanted: "Beautiful tackling!"

"beep~"

But the referee blew his whistle, signaling Tang Zheng to foul.

Just when he heard the whistle, Tang Zheng thought it was a wild whistle from the stands, so he got up and prepared to launch a counterattack horn.

Grab the counterattack of the opponent's counterattack, but the best time to score a goal!

However, the referee blew his whistle continuously.

In other words, Tang Zheng really committed a foul.

Tang Zheng couldn't understand the referee's penalty. His tackle was obviously clean, so why did he commit a foul?

So he turned to face the referee and defended himself with his hands spread out: "My tackle was very beautiful, as can be seen from the fact that the linesman didn't wave the flag, because his angle is more suitable for judging my defensive action..."

Just when Tang Zheng tried to defend himself, Garcia who was sitting on the ground just now quickly got up.

"Don't let him take the free kick!"

Kyle's sudden yell served as a reminder, Tang Zheng gave up trying to defend himself with the referee, and rushed towards Garcia.

The results of it?

It's still too late.

After Garcia pressed the football in place to form a dead ball, he directly mentioned it to the right. Gaitan, who had improved in the second half, received the ball.

"Damn it!"

Tang Zheng was more than ten meters away from Gaitan, so it was obviously unrealistic to defend himself, so he chose to run to the middle.

When Tang Zheng passed the ball to Shinji Kagawa, Dortmund was in the transition from defense to offense, and the midfielders all ran forward.

Shinji Kagawa lost the ball, and the Dortmund players were nervous.

But when Tang Zheng fell to the ground with a sliding shovel and broke the ball again, they stopped and moved forward slowly.

Even though the referee blew the whistle, the Dortmund players did not run back quickly. They thought that Benfica would make good use of this good set-piece.

After all, I still fall into inertial thinking.

The football reached Gaitan's feet, and there were only three defenders near the Dortmund penalty area: Kyle, Subotic and Hummels.

Benfica has center Cardoso and Gaitan with the ball.

Two against three, there is still great hope!

Especially this attack was very sudden, Dortmund's defensive players were not ready, their positions were disorganized, and they were full of loopholes!

"Aww-"

So the Benfica fans present burst into loud cheers, looking forward to the team's attack.

The Dortmund fans booed wildly and sent it to the referee on duty - in their eyes, Tang Zheng's tackle was very beautiful.

After receiving the ball, Gaitan quickly shook off Schmelzer who had just turned around, and the left center back Subotic had to pull out to defend.

Hummels defends Cardoso alone, and captain Kyle prepares to defend Subotic.

Gaitan's ability is very good, and he is skilled at his feet. Kyle is afraid that Subotic will be shaken.

as predicted!

When Subotic was fighting and retreating, his center of gravity was shaken by Gaitan's fake move to break through to the bottom line. Kyle's role was reflected, and he was in front of Gaitan again.

Because he was in the penalty area, Kyle didn't dare to make too many moves, and he waited for Subotic's pincer attack.

However Gaitan did not give him this chance.

About thirteen yards away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, Gaitan looked up, then suddenly swung his left foot.

Out of defensive instinct, Kyle shoveled to expand the defensive area.

But Gaitan raised his left foot just to confuse him. He quickly lowered his left foot and raised the ball with his toe, preparing to pass Kyle and hit the goal.

But the Kyle is tall and burly, and has a lot of inertia, so Gaitan can't dodge it.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the left index finger pointed to the penalty spot.

"The referee blows his whistle, it's a penalty kick!"

"Oh-my-god!! Not good news for Dortmund."

"The referee seems to have the intention of drawing a card. You know... Sebastian Kyle has already received a yellow card."

Moreover, his right hand was still reaching for his trouser pocket.

This is……

The action of drawing cards!

Kyle didn't get up excitedly and protest loudly, he did kick Gaitan.

He didn't stand up excitedly until he caught sight of the referee making a move to draw a card from his trouser pocket from the corner of his eye.

However, Tang Zheng was one step ahead of Kyle. He surrounded the referee and appealed loudly in English: "Dear referee, I think you should first judge whether my previous tackle constituted a foul. I can be 100% sure. , absolutely no fouls! You can't let mistakes continue!"

The referee ignored Tang Zheng's appeal, but insisted on taking out the yellow card.

At the same time, Dortmund coach Klopp waved his arm angrily on the sidelines, and then rushed to the fourth official, complaining about the referee's penalty: "Don's tackle was very beautiful just now! No foul at all! So Benfica The counter attack is untenable!"

"The referee must have his basis for the penalty, but... I suggest you calm down, otherwise the referee will not talk to you like me when he comes over." The fourth official said with a shrug.

On the court, Gaitan raised his arms excitedly when he saw the referee pointing to the penalty kick.

The other players were almost the same, some of them ran towards Gaitan, and some went directly to the principle, hugging and celebrating with their teammates nearby.

Only Dortmund players surrounded the referee, they didn't deny Kyle's foul, but whether Tang Zheng's tackle really constituted a foul.

In the end, the referee had no choice but to show a yellow card to Tang Zheng, who was the most emotional, as a warning.

Tang Zheng, who was about to say something, was suddenly pushed away by captain Kyle, and Hummels directly grabbed Tang Zheng's neck: "You can't be impulsive anymore, or we will be finished!"

The referee showed a yellow card to Tang Zheng, and then showed another yellow card to captain Kyle.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another red card to face Kyle, and then pointed his finger out of the field.

Penalty and red card!

This is nothing short of a disaster!

Seeing the penalty, Klopp, who had just calmed down, dragged the fourth official again and protested loudly: "We can count the foul on Don, and we can count the penalty for Benfica, but why do we still have to deal with my players? A yellow card for a yellow card? It's not fair!"

The fourth official continued to shrug his shoulders, but this time instead of speaking, he gave a helpless expression.

Logically speaking, considering the excitement of the final, as long as the foul is not particularly serious, it should be treated with caution.

Just like the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa, many people said that the British Webber was too loose in fouling De Jong, but if you consider the excitement of the game, the degree of balance is also a compulsory course for the referee.

Therefore, in the case of Kyle's foul, the referee should think carefully.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The Dortmund fans in the stands broke out hysterically and booed loudly, which was sent to the referee on duty.

Benfica fans danced with excitement.

Penalties were the closest means of scoring, and Dortmund had one less man to play.

The future trend of the game seems to be beckoning towards Benfica.

"This referee's level is rubbish." Tang Zheng spat out angrily.

Fortunately, the atmosphere at the scene was frenzied at this time, and the momentum erupted was so loud that the referee couldn't hear Tang Zheng's curse words at all.

As soon as the words fell, Tang Zheng felt someone pull his left arm.

He turned his head and saw that it was Captain Kyle who put the captain's armband on his left arm. He was very serious.

After putting on the captain's armband, Kyle patted Tang Zheng's shoulder: "Tang, the game depends on you."

After all, he walked towards the scene, the player tunnel, without looking back.

The matter has come to this point, the penalty has become a settlement, and the Dortmund players no longer appeal to the referee and choose to accept it.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Benfica won a penalty and played one more player on the field.

In the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League final, a major turning point occurred because of this penalty!

Commentators at the commentary booth had different comments on the referee’s penalty. Some thought that there was a penalty kick but the yellow card should not have been given, and some said that Tang Zheng’s previous tackle was beautiful and there was no foul, and the next game would be invalid. ...

ps: Happy Lantern Festival!
