Midfielder Ruler
Chapter 234: In Distress
Not long after Pato came on the field, Dortmund also made personnel adjustments. The hard-working Gross Kreutz replaced Royce to increase the team's overall running ability.
In the blink of an eye, the game time entered 75 minutes, a critical point in the physical fitness of both sides.
Pato worked very hard. As a strong contender for the European Golden Boy Award in 2009, he always wanted to prove that he was better than Tang Zheng, but his bad private life made his body not as good as before.
Coupled with Tang Zheng's full state, Pato, who came off the bench, couldn't find a good opportunity to pose a threat to Dortmund's defense.
AC Milan used up all three substitutions and adjustments at home. Allegri had no chance to rest the team lineup. All he could do was wait.
To be honest, he knows that in this situation, the only way to tie the score is to rely on the stars to shine.
However, judging from the current situation, the chances of stars shining are very low.
As the game time passed, except for Shalawi and Pato, who came off the bench, who had plenty of energy, other players, including Emmanuel Sen, who came off the bench unexpectedly, were exhausted.
As for why, this is directly related to Dortmund's continued high pressure.
Under Dortmund's high pressure for a long time, AC Milan's overall formation for a period of time only had defenders and forwards, and the midfielder was out of touch.
If the two lines want to be connected in series, they must run a longer distance, but in this way, the physical consumption will be more severe.
During the period when physical fitness reached the critical point, the offensive and defensive rhythms of the two sides switched very slowly, as if they had reached a tacit understanding.
AC Milan made all three substitutions and adjustments. Allegri had no cards to play. If he wanted to change the situation of losing at home, he could only rely on the eleven players present.
Dortmund's players are relatively unified in thinking. Now they are leading the score and have two away goals in hand. As long as this score is maintained until the end of the game, it is basically certain that the team will advance to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Dortmund is ready to defend away.
Instead, choose to shrink the formation and fight back quickly.
There are still ten minutes left in the regular time of the game. No one is surprised that Dortmund, who is a guest, chooses this way.
Moreover, Klopp still holds the last card in his hand, so he can have emergency strategies in case of accidents.
During the period when Dortmund shrank its formation, AC Milan gained a lot of offensive space, but due to Dortmund's shrinking formation, it greatly reduced the offensive space needed by Shalawi and Pato.
Ibrahimovic's personal ability is very strong, but his strength is based on having the ball at his feet or getting full support from his teammates, otherwise everything is empty talk.
Tang Zheng, who helped Dortmund score a counter-goal, was still active when the team was shrinking their defense. Klopp gave him plenty of room to move, which perfectly stimulated his strong ability to read the game.
Pirlo sat on the bench, he nodded while applying an ice pack, and nodded in satisfaction to Tang Zheng, who frequently appeared at football landings.
Tang Zheng's performance was as stable as ever, whether it was attacking or defending.
Thinking of this, he who has played for AC Milan for ten years can't help feeling a little bit emotional.
Following Dortmund's quick counterattack, Tang Zheng finished shooting and fired an anti-aircraft gun,
Pirlo shook his head with a smile.
Now that he is a member of Dortmund, he should not think about the future of his old club.
Boss Berlusconi is getting more and more stingy, and it is difficult for the team to attract powerful stars to join.
Only with strong purchasing power can a team thrive.
For AC Milan's performance at home, the Italian national TV commentator is not optimistic that AC Milan will equalize the score at home.
But the fans of the home team at the San Siro Stadium persisted. They stood in front of the seats and opened their throats, cheering and cheering for AC Milan.
It's just that Dortmund's defense is very good, and the game's attention is very concentrated, so they didn't give it at all; in the history of world football, AC Milan has a bad tradition, that is, they reverse others more times than others reverse themselves much less frequently.
Among them, the most vivid memory is the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final. AC Milan, which led by three goals in the first half, was forced to score three goals in a row by Liverpool within nine minutes of the second half...
As recently as the 89th minute of the game, Dortmund made the last substitution adjustment of the game.
The extremely fast Polish monster Kuba replaced Gotze, who had a significant decline in physical fitness, and increased the counterattack speed while strengthening the side defense.
Despite this, Allegri had no choice, and the 1:2 loss at home was somewhat ugly.
Losing at home is hard to accept unless absolutely necessary.
AC Milan stepped up its offense regardless of the consequences, trying to equalize the score at the last minute of the game, or even reverse.
But this style of play is not their characteristic. The players are adapting, so the offense seems to be loud and rainy, and it doesn't have much effect.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score board showed 1:2
The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.
Borussia Dortmund won the seven-time Champions League winner at the San Siro; the AC Milan fans in the stands did not complain, they chose to accompany their team.
Serie A has declined, and AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi is unwilling to invest heavily. In today's world football, it is difficult to succeed.
You win, and accompany you to rule the world.
If you lose, I will accompany you to make a comeback.
In the end, Dortmund defeated AC Milan 2:1 in the away game. Many on-site commentators have announced in advance that Dortmund has entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season. After all, they have been unbeaten at home for two seasons. Now this stadium beats Dortmund. difficulty!
In the regular press conference after the game, Klopp was very satisfied with the team's away victory against AC Milan, but he did not say that the team's chances of advancement had increased significantly, but that there was still a more difficult game to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season. the match of.
AC Milan coach Allegri faced the media and said that there is still a chance for away games.
Even if Dortmund has remained unbeaten in all competitions for more than two seasons at home, he believes that records are used to break, and the tradition of AC Milan is to break records.
In this regard, the German media sneered, thinking that Allegri was a dead duck.
But they did not directly refute Allegri. After all, Leverkusen and Barcelona have lost the round at home, which basically means that only Dortmund and Bayern Munich are left in the Champions League this season, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Also not very optimistic about AC Milan's away game is the Chinese media. They believe that Tang Zheng's current state is hot, and both offense and defense have played a huge catalytic role in the team.
The next day, the focus of the media was still on the past UEFA Champions League matches, but the players from both sides quickly calmed down and prepared for the domestic league.
At the same time, Dortmund's entire team returns to North Rhine-Westphalia 1un, and they have another league game this weekend, at home against Hannover 96.
/\u003e
And this league is also Dortmund's last game in February.
Then, it entered an international competition day.
As for the remaining second-leg Champions League 1/8 finals, there are still more than half a month.
Hannover 96 scored 34 points in the past 22 rounds of the league, ranking seventh in the league, belonging to the mid-upstream team, but there is still a significant gap compared to Dortmund in the rankings.
The score after 90 minutes of the game also reflected this point. Under the cheers of the 80,000 home fans, Dortmund beat the visiting Hannover 96 3:1 at home.
The end of this game also means that the international match day is coming.
Tang Zheng was once again called up by the Chinese Football Association to prepare for the last match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top 20 in Guangzhou at the beginning of next month, and this match is also the last match that determines the final qualifying places in Group A.
In the previous five rounds, in Group A, Jordan ranked first in the group with four wins and one loss and accumulated 12 points. The Chinese team ranked first in the group with three wins and two losses and nine points.
Nevertheless, considering that Iraq's opponent in the last round is Singapore, which was eliminated early in the group, this game at home must be won!
Not surprisingly, Iraq will definitely beat Singapore and occupy one of the qualifying spots with 12 points.
As for the other spot, it will be between Jordan and the Chinese team.
Originally, Jordan won all the first four rounds. As long as they draw with Iraq at home in the fifth round, they can advance to the first place in the group.
But what happened?
They fought to the death at home in the last round and lost unexpectedly to Iraq, which made the final round a life-and-death battle.
For this game, Chinese fans and Jordanian fans are very nervous.
But the most nervous thing is the Chinese fans. If the Chinese team can't win at home, they have to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia in advance.
Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin arrived in Guangzhou on the 28th, and there were only two short days before the match between the Chinese team and Jordan at the Tianhe Sports Center, which meant that they had no extra time to practice with the team.
It is precisely because there is not enough time for this international match day that the Jordanian media has certain hopes for the national team.
This is also what the Chinese media and fans are worried about. The last match of the Chinese team was in November last year. Tang Zheng, Hao Junmin and the members of the national team did not play together for more than three months. The running-in is a problem.
However, when Tang Zheng was interviewed by the media, he gave the fans a shot in the arm. He said: "We have won two consecutive victories, why is there an accident in the next home game? At least...in my dictionary, there are no accidents." !Because the victory belongs to the Chinese team!"
Hao Junmin also expressed his confidence in the team's victory in an interview with the media: "What should be worried about is the Jordan team who lost the chain at the critical moment. Why? If they took the last round of home games seriously, they could even send all the substitutes in this game. But... that's the beauty of football and to impress them we have to win!"
Guangzhou fans are very enthusiastic, and Tang Zheng fully appreciated it when he arrived at the New Baiyun International Airport.
Due to limited time, Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin had to play a game on the third day after they returned to the team, which meant that they only had two days to get in touch with domestic players.
Fortunately, the last game was a home game. Except for the time stipulated by FIFA to allow the Jordan team to adapt to the field, Tianhe Sports Center spent the rest of the time in joint training with the Chinese team.
Head coach Camacho knew that if the Chinese team wanted to win Jordan at home, they had to make the most of Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin.
So the upcoming match will still be centered on Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin. Among them, Tang Zheng has the greatest degree of freedom in the team. He doesn't even limit his position on the field, directly copying Tang Zheng's style of play in Dortmund.
However, the playing rhythm of domestic players and European players is different, and the playing rhythm of domestic leagues is slower.
Taking this into consideration, Camacho specially set up special tactics for the cooperation between Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, so as to ensure that sitting at home could break the deadlock as soon as possible.
The game is very important for both sides.
Of course, the pressure on Jordan is much less. They only need to draw with China in the away game to advance, and the Chinese team must win Jordan if they want to advance to the top ten in Asia.
The Chinese media speculated that this game will test the ice-breaking ability of the Chinese team.
as predicted.
The Jordanian team formed a May 4th formation at the Tianhe Sports Center, waiting for the Chinese team to attack.
The Tianhe Sports Center, which can accommodate 56,000 fans, was packed to the brim, creating an astonishing noise from the first second of the game.
Jordan, who is a guest, is in a defensive posture, and the Chinese team, who are playing at home, will naturally attack.
But for the sake of safety, Tang Zheng didn't push up too much in the initial stage, but relatively safely controlled the team's offensive rhythm.
As time passed, Tang Zheng was sure that Jordan was going to defend to the end, so he devoted all his attention to attacking.
The game entered the tenth minute and completely turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill for the Chinese team.
Regarding this situation, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, thought about it before the game, but he was somewhat excited when it really happened.
The same is true for the fans at the scene. Tianhe Sports Center has entered an extremely fanatical atmosphere of the game, and the Chinese team's offensive has been wave after wave.
However, the Jordan team's defensive attention was very concentrated and did not give the Chinese team much room to attack.
Coupled with the fact that Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin didn't get along well with domestic players, their rhythm was not at the same point, and they couldn't create suitable opportunities at all.
In this situation, Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin tried several long shots respectively.
As a result, either the shot blocked the eye-catching Jordanian player or missed the goal post.
The West Asian players are very cunning. As long as the two sides have physical contact, they will choose to fall to the ground. They disrupt the Chinese team's offensive rhythm while delaying the game time.
At the end of the first half, the score board still showed the score as o:o
At the same time, at the Singapore National Stadium, Iraq, who is a guest, has already led Singapore 3:0.
In other words, if the Chinese team wants to get a chance to advance, they must win Jordan, otherwise they can only prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia in advance.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. The Jordan team had a successful defense in the first half.
The game passed by one minute and one second. In another game, Iraq led Singapore by five goals, but the Chinese team, which was playing at home, failed to break the deadlock.
Feeling the tremendous pressure, the Chinese players on the field gradually became impatient and frequently chose long-range shots.
The Chinese team became more and more impatient, playing in the arms of the Jordan team.
Seeing that half an hour had passed in the second half of the game, the score remained unchanged.
If the game ends like this, Jordan and Iraq will advance to the top ten!
