Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 193: True Despair

While the Dortmund team celebrated the score, the fourth official came to the edge of the middle of the field, holding up the electronic card of five minutes of stoppage time.

Seeing this stoppage time, Guardiola, who was pulling Vilanova to discuss the last substitution adjustment, was a little dissatisfied.

How can I make up five minutes?

At least ten minutes to start, right?

Of course, he didn't have time to complain about too little stoppage time.

There are still five minutes left in the game, and the team must seize the opportunity to tie the score!

Klopp, who finished his signature combination punch, noticed in the stands that the fourth official was very dissatisfied with the five-minute stoppage time. Why did it take so long?

The game went on so smoothly, is it necessary to add time?

But there is nothing he can do while sitting on the ball...

The Dortmund players celebrated for a long time. If it weren't for the intervention of the on-duty referee Born Kuipers, it is estimated that they would have lasted until the end of stoppage time.

The on-site director's camera returned to Tang Zheng after the whole scoring process, and saw him frowned after being pulled up from the grass by Pirlo, and then sat back on the grass, pointing at his calf.

"how?"

Pirlo asked with concern.

"I'm going to cramp!"

Pirlo reacted very quickly, and quickly pressed hard on the calf of the right foot that Tang Zheng pointed to just now.

Central 5 commentator He Wei has recovered from extreme excitement to a normal state of excitement. He saw Pirlo pressing on the bottom of Tang Zheng's right foot, and suddenly changed his voice: "Oh? Tang Zheng has cramps?"

As soon as the words fell, he added: "We remember that Tang Zheng's running distance exceeded 14,000 meters in the 80 minutes of the game, and he shouldered more defensive responsibilities after Gundogan was sent off. , I think even an iron man will not be able to endure it..."

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—"

Seeing Tang Zheng's calf cramp, the Dortmund fans behind the goal chanted almost subconsciously, supporting and cheering him on.

From the summer of 2009 until the summer of 2011,

No one knows Tang Zheng's great contribution to the team better than them.

Countless Dortmunds sitting in front of the TV looked at Tang Zheng who was enduring the pain, feeling very emotional in his heart.

What is a hero?

The mission Tang Zheng completed tonight was a perfect interpretation of what a hero is!

The referee Bonn Kuipers also came over and bowed to greet with concern: "Hey, do you need to call the team doctor?"

"No, no, no need." Tang Zheng said almost subconsciously: "Just press it."

Because the latest rules mentioned that once the team doctor is on the field, the player has to temporarily leave the field in the next wave of offense.

The team has lost one player, if Tang Zheng, the captain, stands outside the field again, then Dortmund will be nine against eleven.

There are two general types of player cramp.

One is the inability to persist in the game after cramps, and the other is that after the cramps are squeezed, the calf muscles can continue to compete.

It happened that Tang Zheng was the latter, so he stood up after passing Pirlo's leg press, and then tried to jump twice.

feel good!

However, a player with excellent physical fitness like Tang Zheng rarely suffers from cramps, so German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said emotionally: "I don't know if Tang has had cramps before, but in my As far as I can remember, this is his first cramp... It can be easily seen from here, how hard he is in this game..."

I don't know if the broadcaster did it on purpose, but the running distance of both parties is displayed on the TV screen.

Tang Zheng ran a distance of 15,564 meters, and the distance of 16,000 meters is only a short 400 meters.

Looking at the running distance of Barcelona players, Xavi and Iniesta ran the most, but they were only a little over 10,000 meters, while the star Messi only ran less than 9,000 meters, which is equivalent to running the Tang Dynasty. Zheng's half distance.

Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said: "This is why Dortmund was able to equalize with Barcelona with one less player. Captain Tang Zheng paid too much."

Speaking of this, Duan Xuan frowned and said: "The 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be held next month. I don't know what some people think. How can such an outstanding talent turn a blind eye? We in China Where have the thousands of years of respect to corporals and the spirit of Sangu Maolu gone? Is personal face important? More important than national glory? If this is the case, I really have nothing to say!"

The game was broadcast live and played in real time, so even if the leaders of BJ Studio were a little dissatisfied, there was no way to stop it...

Moreover, the relationship between Central 5 and the Football Association has never been very good, but it did not stop it.

Listening to Duan Xuan's blunt words, not only the famous hacker Xiao Linzi was filled with righteous indignation, countless hackers joined in the attack on the Football Association's official website, and even social network accounts were not spared...

※※※

The frenetic atmosphere at the Louis II Stadium continued to run high, with Dortmund fans dancing and dancing excitedly, looking forward to the end of the game.

It's just that the five minutes of stoppage time held high by the fourth official made them very dissatisfied.

Isn't the standard stoppage time all three minutes?

But Tang Zheng, who just got up, was not surprised. Gundogan was sent off and a penalty kick took a lot of time, and UEFA has always taken care of Barcelona. It is normal to have five minutes of stoppage time.

Tang Zheng walked back to the middle circle, and he said loudly to his teammates in the noisy environment: "Brothers, the game is not over yet! We can't let up any slack! Taking the lead is naturally something to be happy about, but there are countless cases in world football where extreme joy turns into sorrow." , Don’t forget that we still have one less player! There are still four minutes left in the game, no matter how hard and tired you are, you must persevere! If you really can’t run anymore, think about the fans who came from afar, their efforts are no more than ours Less, so the biggest reward for them is the championship! The king of Europe belongs to Dortmund!"

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot of his face, and Marcel Leff said happily: "Although Tang is only twenty-two years old, he is a very qualified captain. Stabilize the morale of the army! Dortmund has dug a treasure."

At the same time, Barcelona made the last substitution adjustment, Keita replaced left back Adriano.

Guardiola's adjustment is naturally not for defense, but for offense.

With Pique missing the European Super Cup due to injury, only two defensive players, Keita and Abidal, remained at the high point.

At the time of life and death, Barcelona also gave up their usual tactical routines and chose to pass directly from two sides.

Hummels and Subotic are both over 1.9 meters tall, plus Tang Zheng who came to the penalty area, the three 1.9 meters tall, raised Dortmund's air defense capability to another level.

As the god in the hearts of Barcelona fans, Messi worked very hard, but he met Tang Zheng, who was in a state of disbelief.

In the regular time of 90 minutes of this game, the number of times Messi broke through Tang Zheng is still zero so far!

This can create a new record in Messi's career...

In a blink of an eye, the game time entered ninety-three minutes, which means that there is only more than one minute left in the game.

Messi swayed the angle on the right and directly swung his left foot to hit the goal.

Tang Zheng made a flying block from the side, and the football bounced off his back.

Harvey regained possession of the ball, Iniesta, Fabregas, Villa, and Messi crossed positions, and Harvey suddenly passed through.

Pirlo, who was not on the passing route, suddenly came up from the side and stretched his feet to stop Harvey's pass to Iniesta.

Pirlo didn't have time to look up, as Barcelona's high press was so quick, he kicked the ball hastily across the touchline.

Half a minute after the game, the Dortmund fans at the Louis II Stadium became more and more excited. Even though their voices were hoarse, they excitedly made loud noises to interfere with the Barcelona players who organized the attack.

Why can the Westfalenstadion become the home of the first devil in Europe?

In addition to the fact that the stadium is big enough, the personal quality of Dortmund fans is very high, and they don't know what it means to stop shouting until the end of the game.

"The game time is getting shorter and shorter, and the championship is getting closer and closer to Dortmund." Central 5 commentator He Wei's words were brief, but his voice was full of worry and uneasiness.

The Catalan commentator walked on thin ice and said: "Barcelona's offensive is surging, and they are very hopeful to equalize the score in the remaining one minute or so!"

If there are careful Barcelona fans, they must know that this is the line that the commentator said the most when the game entered overtime.

"Cesc Fabregas direct cross from 45 degrees!"

The Dortmund penalty area was instantly messed up, and all the players were entangled together, but the Barcelona players were generally short. Except for Abidal and Keita, they were all less than 1.8 meters tall, so the football was easily pushed out by Hummels .

But Barcelona's offense was not over, they received the football on the outside and continued to attack.

The nervous Marcel Leif glanced at the game time: "There is still the last minute!"

At this moment, the Barcelona players are fortunate that their offense is facing their own fans, so they don't need to face boos, and the offense can be wave after wave.

But it didn't work.

With little time left, Harvey sent the football to Alves on the right. He looked up at the penalty area and then crossed from the side.

Subotic felt a lot of pressure under the interference of Abidal. In order to ensure the safety of the goal, he chose to push the ball out of the bottom line relatively safely.

"Victor! Go up, go up!!"

With less than a minute left in the game, coach Guardiola roared at Valdez who was standing in the 40-meter zone!

※※※

"It seems that ... the backward Barcelona is going to be completely desperate!" British Sky commentator Andy Gray said.

Harvey, ready to take a corner kick, was not in a hurry to kick off, but waited until goalkeeper Valdes came to Dortmund's restricted area.

"Sven, watch him!" Tang Zheng wanted to defend Keita, who had just come off the bench, and he quickly called Sven Bender to defend the Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes who suddenly came to the penalty area.

Harvey saw his teammates choose their positions, and he stretched out his right index finger to make a signal.

Tang Zheng, who was defending Keita from a corner kick, frowned. He noticed Harvey's usual hand signals.

It's just that I don't know what this code means.

But from the corner of Tang Zheng's eyes, he noticed that Messi, who was waiting outside the penalty area, seemed to be ready to move...

Could it be?

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng chose to give up defending Keita like a gamble, bypassing the players from both sides gathered near the penalty spot, and rushing towards Messi.

really!

Xavi took a corner kick, and all the Barcelona players in the penalty area feinted, forcing the Dortmund players to rush in and cover for Messi outside the penalty area.

Football is not fast, but flat.

Messi looked at the flying football and adjusted his footsteps, and was shocked just when he was about to swing his left foot.

He...how did he appear here?

As the football got closer, Messi chose to put the extra thoughts behind him and swung his left foot.

"Boom~"

At the same time, Tang Zheng put his hands behind his back and used his flesh and blood to block Messi's non-stop volley.

The football hit Tang Zheng's chest firmly, then changed direction and bounced back.

Alves, who was protecting in front of the penalty area, adjusted slightly and shot with his right foot.

"Oh~ the quality is really high!"

At the moment when the Catalan commentator chanted, Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller flew to save the ball and saved the ball from the bottom line.

Another corner kick for Barcelona!

"It's dangerous!" Marcel Leff let out a long breath: "There is still the last half minute!"

Tang Zheng was lying on the ground gasping for breath after being hit by Messi's shot, but he quickly stood up and reminded his teammates loudly: "The game is not over yet! Focus on me!"

"What a man!"

With a shout from British Sky commentator Andy Gray, Harvey took another corner.

Time was running out, and almost all Barcelona players flooded into Dortmund's penalty area.

There was endless physical contact between the players on both sides, and the referee Born Kuipers didn't bother to stop the game.

Harvey gritted his teeth and took a corner kick.

Dortmund's height advantage is very obvious, Lewandowski overwhelmed Fabregas and Valdes to push the football out.

Alves, who was protecting from outside the penalty area, looked at the ball and prepared to repeat the old trick.

But at the critical moment, a fatal mistake occurred!

Kuba's forward pressure was extremely fast, which caused Alves' stoppage to be a bit big!

Alves had no choice but to poke the ball to Iniesta next to him, but he obviously underestimated Kuba's explosive power.

Kuba stretched his left leg to reach the ball, and the football rolled toward Dortmund's penalty area by accident. Mascherano and Piszczek rushed at the same time, but Piszczek, who had longer legs, kicked it. football.

The football rolled to Dortmund's defensive right, and it wasn't long before Kuba came off the bench. He had plenty of energy and was much faster than Alves, who had run for 90 minutes.

Valdez started on the spot and ran towards his goal.

At the same time, Tang Zheng moved towards Kuba.

With little time left in the game, Kuba prepares to run out of game time.

Tang Zheng, who was pressing out of the penalty area, suddenly noticed the back of the goalkeeper Valdes...

Is running out of game time more important than securing the victory?

Do not!

So Tang Zheng ran towards Kuba and shouted at the same time: "Yakubu, pass the ball to me!"

Kuba, who originally wanted to control the football, heard Tang Zheng's voice, he immediately pulled the ball to an emergency stop.

Alves wanted to foul but was half a beat too late, Kuba poked his toe, and the football naturally rolled towards Tang Zheng.

"It's over!"

This is the word that pops into the minds of all Barcelona people.

However, the next moment is the real despair!
