Midfielder Ruler

The leagues of various European countries ended one after another on weekends, and the mainstream media gradually focused on the second round of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League group stage that started in the middle of the week.

In the first round of competition, many teams failed to find their best form, so they did not get the ideal score.

As the UEFA Champions League group stage enters the second round, the teams have become more prepared, so the mainstream media in Europe believe that the next second round will be even more exciting.

It is somewhat regrettable that Dortmund drew with Arsenal at home in the last round. They are determined to win this game as a guest at the Velodrome Stadium.

The last time Borussia Dortmund won the Champions League was nine years ago when they beat CSKA Moscow 3-0 at home.

The first victory in the Champions League after nine years is not only the goal of the Dortmund team, but also the expectation of Dortmund fans.

Dortmund, who is a guest, is determined to win the game, and Marseille, who sits at the Velodrome Stadium at home, is even more so.

However, the media are not very optimistic about Marseille, the main battle, because the Ligue 1 has played eight rounds, and Marseille's results are a bit horrible, with one win, four draws and three losses, only seven points, ranking thirteenth in the league.

And they were lucky enough to defeat Olympiacos as a guest in Greece in the group stage last round, otherwise it is very likely that Marseille will lose.

Coupled with the fact that Dortmund is strong and strong, striker Barrios, who was injured in the Copa America this summer, has returned from injury and is now able to enter the 18-man squad for the game. He is likely to come off the bench as a surprise player in the second half.

Of course, this is only the conclusion drawn by European media analysis.

The specific process and results of the game are determined by the players of both sides within 90 minutes of the game, so no conclusions can be made.

What's more, Marseille's home atmosphere is the best in France. Compared with the frenzied atmosphere of Dortmund's home stadium Westfalun, it is not inferior at all.

The Velodrome Stadium can accommodate 60,000 fans, and Marseille fans who play at home occupy more than 50,000 seats, leaving only a few thousand seats for the Dortmund Expeditionary Army.

On the day of the game, the Velodrome Stadium was packed before the time for the Champions League match, and the atmosphere was extremely frenzied.

If the stands were not made of white and sky blue as the main colors, otherwise Tang Zheng would have thought that he was fighting in the Westphalian Stadium.

As the only team in Ligue 1 that has won the UEFA Champions League, Marseille's home atmosphere should not be underestimated!

Before the game starts,

Tang Zheng knew the specific position through the photo sent by Zhao Lina, so if he can score a goal in this game, he will give it to Zhao Lina, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother who are present.

Judging from the warm-up situation before the match, Tang Zheng was in very good condition, and his performance was so exciting that the fitness coach Oliver Bartlett thought that Tang Zheng had taken stimulants.

Marseille, which sits at home, has sent a full main lineup. The starting formation submitted before the game is 4231, which is quite popular in world football. The goalkeeper is Mandanda, and the four defenders are Traore, Nkuru and Dia. Valla and Azpilicueta.

The double defensive midfielder Diarra partnered with Capo, the three midfielders were Valbuena, Sheru and Didi Ayew, and Remy was at the forefront.

Compared with Arsenal's starting lineup in the first round of the Champions League, Dortmund made two position adjustments. Sven Bender replaced captain Kyle and Pirlo, and Perisic replaced Kuba. The other positions remained unchanged.

Since captain Kyle missed the starting list, Tang Zheng put on the captain's armband, and he stood at the forefront of the team.

Zhao's father was very excited to watch the UEFA Champions League. He followed the Dortmund fans next to him and waved his arms with enthusiasm, and devoted himself to creating the atmosphere of the visiting team.

But the number of home fans is really too much, no matter how hard they try, there is no way to cover their bursting voices.

But soon, when the game was in the sixth minute, the Velodrome Stadium envied the first short suffocation, even if it was just a blink of an eye.

Pirlo took a direct free kick from the right, Tang Zheng jumped out from the crowd, and the lion with the logo shook his head and smashed the ball towards the goal.

Even the goalkeeper Mandanda gave up his resistance and was about to watch the football break through the net, and the Velodrome Stadium fell into a brief silence at this moment.

But a crisp "bang" brought him to reality, and then the scene erupted like a tsunami of exclamation.

"Ooh-oh--"

The football was pushed out of the baseline by the full-back Azpilicueta who reacted promptly, and Dortmund continued to take a corner kick.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said with great regret: "oh-my-god!! The door frame prevented Don's goal! It's so surprising! Otherwise, Dortmund, who is a guest, has already taken the lead in the away game! Legend has it that The home field advantage is not unwarranted..."

Tang Zheng, who didn't head the ball into the goal, looked very sorry, he pulled his hair with both hands, and grinned.

The head coach Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines directing the game, clapped his hands passionately, applauding the team's attack.

Tang Zheng won the header just now, so he was heavily marked for the next corner kick. The football was cleared by the 1.9-meter-high midfielder Diarra, and Schmelzer, who was protecting the outside, kicked the ball up. The second floor stands.

The game continued, and Dortmund, who was a guest, gradually took advantage of the field by virtue of their skills and high success rate of high pressure.

The Marseille team, which sits at home, had to implement the plan b arranged by the head coach before the game, and defended and counterattacked.

At home, seeing the team I support defend and counterattack, somewhat makes the home fans feel a little uncomfortable. After all, this is their own chassis, so why should the opponent have the advantage?

But thinking about Dortmund's defending Bundesliga champion, last season's Europa League champion, and this year's European Super Cup defeating the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League champion Barcelona in the case of one less player, it is not too pessimistic.

Judging from the technical and tactical abilities performed by Dortmund players, they do have an advantage. If they take advantage of the home court advantage to play against Dortmund, then Marseille will not be far from losing.

The atmosphere at the Velodrome Stadium is still fanatical, and the home fans spare no effort in cheering and cheering for Marseille.

It does seem a bit aggrieved to choose to defend and counterattack at home, but from the perspective of the game process, it is still very good.

They played two relatively successful quick counterattacks, one of which formed a shot. If the central defender Hummels blocked it in time, it is estimated that Marseille, who is at home, would have taken the lead.

The dangerous situation in front of the goal also made Klopp realize that in the away game, he must advance relatively safely and gradually slow down the offensive rhythm.

Pirlo's organization is more than flexible, Tang Zheng and Gotze are in the offensive organization of the midfield, Lewandowski and Perisic frequently move forward, and Dortmund's offensive layering is reflected.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Dortmund, who was a guest, took the lead in creating a murderous intention.

It was Tang Zheng wearing the captain's armband who helped Dortmund score.

Dortmund's sudden attack through the tacit understanding of the frontcourt caused Diarra, who was catching the ball and attacking in series, to find no point of exit. Sven Bender, Tang Zheng and Gotze formed a double-team for Diarra and successfully broke the football.

Since both midfielders were not in his position, Tang Zheng faced Marseille's incomplete defense directly after receiving the ball.

He chose to stride the ball forward. The double central defenders Nkuru and Diawara were attracted by Lewandowski's forward penetration, and Perisic's flexible running position on the right, did not dare to take it easy. step forward.

Azpilicueta made a decisive decision and chose to step forward to defend Tang Zheng.

However, Tang Zheng seemed to have eyes behind his back, and directly sent the football to his side's attacking left side, which was the defensive right side where Azpilicueta should be.

Getce, who had previously formed a siege, plugged in at high speed on the left!

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Huge boos suddenly broke out at the Velodrome Stadium. The home fans hoped to interfere with Gotze who was catching the ball forward in this way.

It's just that the current Getze is no longer a fledgling Getze. He didn't change his expression in the face of overwhelming boos, and directly cut into the inside line.

When Azpilicueta was not in the defensive position, the central defender Nkuru had to pull to the side to make up defenses. Diawara defended Lewandowski one-on-one, and Azpilicue lost his position. The tower defended Tang Zheng who advanced forward.

Successfully attracting central defender Nkuru, Gotze swung his left foot and passed a curve ball while running.

Lewandowski, who was running forward, looked at the ball and didn't even jump. Diawara, who was marking him, wanted to jump up to clear the siege, but the football didn't mean to fall when it came to his head.

Goalkeeper Mandanda looked at a curved ball that turned outward, and was anxious and fast, not daring to attack.

Azpilicueta, who was guarding Tang Zheng, panicked. Originally, he thought that Gotze would pass an inverted triangle, because Dortmund's usual attacking routine in the frontcourt was like this, so he chose to block Gotze's ground pass route to Tang Zheng.

But what happened?

Azpilicueta could only watch helplessly as Tang Zheng stood on tiptoe with his left foot while running, then stretched his long right leg and pushed it forward. Gone between the legs, then crashed into the snow-white net.

"Aww-"

Accompanied by the silence of the home fans, the Dortmund Expeditionary Army and the Chinese fans who worked and studied in France broke out in huge cheers, and quickly became the master of the Velodrome Stadium.

Tang Zheng, who scored a goal, opened his arms, turned a corner to the right, and ran towards the lower edge of the stand area where Zhao Lina was, and then made a heart shape with his hands.

The on-site director was obviously concerned about Tang Zheng's private life, so he quickly switched the camera, and the camera focused on Zhao Lina, who looked excited and embarrassed.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said with a smile: "Tang Zheng has always been a tough man in our impression, but today he let us see his tender side! I believe the fans in front of the TV can also learn from the news reports. On the birthday of Zhao Lina, who knows how to play for the Lyon women's football team, Tang Zheng spent a lot of money to buy a convertible Maserati as a birthday present. I have to say, a real man..."

Guest commentator Xu Yang changed his voice and said: "It's hard not to like Tang Zheng like this, but I have to say that the tens of thousands of female fans in front of the TV are very sad. Girlfriends spend money, the key is to play the ball so well."

During the time when He Wei and Xu Yang were chatting, the on-site director successively showed the whole process of scoring goals and passionate coach Klopp's signature combination punches to celebrate.

The game restarted, and the desire to attack with Marseille, who had a kick-off advantage, was very strong, and the two sides were heavily pressed.

Head coach Didier Deschamps has short, refined hair, and his face, which should have been extremely energetic, looked a little sluggish. He is very focused on the game on the field, and naturally knows the risks brought by the two sides being too high.

But he saw that the team continued to suppress Dortmund, causing Weidenfeller to keep the goal in danger, so he decided to take another look.

Maybe a goal is formed under high pressure?

However, the high pressure did cause the goal, but it was not Marseille who scored the goal...

While running, Tang Zheng made a precise sliding tackle, successfully stealing the ball from the sticky Valbuena, and before he got up, he stretched out his foot and stabbed Pirlo who was ready to catch the ball.

Pirlo didn't stick the ball, he made a long pass directly, and Perisic on the right was extremely fast, and he was the best when the Marseille left back was still defending the half of Dortmund.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Mandanda, Perisic unselfishly crossed the ball to Lewandowski who ran out of position.

Just to be safe, Lewandowski stretched out his foot and kicked the ball into the empty goal that was not guarded.

0:2

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Dortmund's quick counterattack took a very short time. It only took three passes to send the ball into the Marseille goal. The counterattack efficiency was comparable to that of Real Madrid coached by Mourinho.

With this goal lost, Deschamps quickly signaled the team to attack patiently, and the two sides cannot press at the same time.

It was precisely because of Deschamps' tactical changes that no goals were scored in the first half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Dortmund, who was still in the league on the weekend, took the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm, using the skills of Tang Zheng, Pirlo and Gotze to control the rhythm.

The ability to control the scene was maximized after Gundogan replaced Sven Bender, but this substitution adjustment also made Dortmund's midfield hardness slightly insufficient.

Gundogan has both offense and defense, but he lacks the defensive arrogance and defensive awareness of Sven Bender.

Pirlo has always been an organizational midfielder, and his defense is basically done with fouls.

So with Sven Bender off the field, Marseille's offense slowly improved, and the atmosphere at the Velodrome Stadium became frenzied again.

When Klopp took advantage of the dead ball to change his position on the field, Tang Zheng and Gundogan switched positions and returned to the midfielder position to partner with Pirlo. His running coverage ability and interception ability made up for Dortmund's lack of defensive hardness in the middle.

Subsequently, captain Kyle replaced Perisic and pushed Tang Zheng to the central midfield position again, while Gundogan played as a midfielder on the right.

Marseille, who sit at home, did not play a novel offensive routine, and Dortmund also had reservations for the weekend league.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Marseille 2-0 away and won the team's first Champions League victory after nine years.
