Midfielder Ruler

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Gotze handed the football kicked by Lewandowski to Tang Zheng, who was outside the arc of his side's center circle, and thereafter, huge boos broke out at the scene, which was deafening.

Tang Zheng, who was in possession of the ball, unhurriedly transitioned to Pirlo, and then ran to the next spot to receive the ball.

According to the pre-match deployment, if the team wins the kick-off, then after the kick-off, there are two long passes that do not allow regular kick-offs.

Dortmund in this game is a defensive midfielder with no meaning. Gundogan has both defenses, but his offensive attributes are stronger than his defensive attributes. Not to mention Pirlo, who has always been known for his offense.

Tang Zheng's defensive ability is very strong, even stronger than many defensive midfielders, but Dortmund must rely on his offensive performance if they want to reverse Barcelona in an away game, so the task given to him by head coach Klopp is more offensive.

Of course, the team did not have a purely defensive midfielder. As a central midfielder, Tang Zheng had a heavy responsibility, and he needed to cover a very wide area.

Regarding Dortmund's lack of a pure defensive midfielder, Central 5 on-site commentator He Wei and German Sky commentator Marcel Levdo are a little worried.

Barcelona's offensive ability this season is a perfect continuation of last season. This season's league home win rate exceeds 90%. Fifteen league games only drew one game, and all others won. It is a veritable devil's home game.

It is worth noting that they only conceded two goals in 15 league games, which is why the Catalan media was dissatisfied when they heard that Dortmund wanted to comeback at the Nou Camp.

However, Barcelona's defense in the Champions League is not very good. They conceded three goals in four home games, two of which were lost to AC Milan in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

Dortmund eliminated AC Milan in the 1/8 finals. In all fairness, AC Milan's offensive ability is not strong.

Barcelona can concede two goals against AC Milan at home, which proves that their defense has a big problem, plus last year's European Super Cup at the Louis II Stadium as a reference.

Dortmund, who played one less player, can score three goals, not to mention the full staff in this campaign?

"Dortmund's formation as a guest is the usual four-two-three-one, goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and the four defenders remain unchanged..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei was still reporting on the starting players of both teams. Tang Zheng had already run to the right of the center line and received a through ball from Gundogan.

He didn't pass the football out after getting the ball, but took advantage of the trend to meet the ball forward.

Sanchez, who mainly played on the left, rushed forward without any hesitation. Harvey chose his position and stepped forward in no hurry.

Tang Zheng was still two meters away from Sanchez, his left shoulder had an obvious dip, and it looked like he was about to break through from the left.

Sanchez, who was familiar with Tang Zheng, didn't think so, he slowed down and kept his center of gravity unchanged!

really!

Sanchez was secretly delighted with his choice, and when Tang Zheng's center of gravity turned back to the right, he accelerated violently!

But the next moment, he regretted it!

Tang Zheng's footwork has changed from rough in the early stage of the riverbed to the current fineness, which is directly related to Sanchez's guidance, so he is very afraid of Tang Zheng's footwork.

As a result, he was still deceived carefully.

The center of gravity of Tang Zheng's body slowly shifted back to the right side, but his right foot did not kick the football. Instead, he feigned a shot. The moment Sanchez stepped forward, the arch of his foot slammed to the left, and the left foot that followed him pushed the football forward. .

Fans of the Camp Nou stadium are quite familiar with this action, because this action is Iniesta's signature action - fried meatballs.

Tang Zheng, who passed Sanchez, still didn't pass the ball, and rushed towards Harvey's defense zone.

Facing Harvey whose defensive ability is negligible, Tang Zheng accelerated to overtake the ball with one quick turn to the right.

Harvey didn't even make a foul behind him to bring Tang Zheng down.

The Dortmund Expeditionary Army burst into loud cheers almost subconsciously, cheering loudly for Tang Zheng's success with two people this time.

Even...the boos from the fans of the home team perfectly cover up their voices, and they still enjoy it.

※※※

Tang Zheng passed two people in a row, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was very dissatisfied, he waved his arms excitedly, venting the lack of concentration of the players at the beginning of the game.

"Oh~ beautiful!"

With a shout from the German sky commentator Marcel Leif, Tang Zheng continued to move forward, and Iniesta had no choice but to approach Tang Zheng who was holding the ball.

In addition, Pique, the only defensive midfielder in Barcelona, ​​​​while paying attention to Gotze's adduction, also approached Iniesta for protection.

"Should we continue to break through?"

The next moment, Marcel Leff knew the answer.

Tang Zheng's right shoulder sank while waving the ball, and Iniesta, who didn't have much defensive ability, subconsciously shifted his center of gravity to the left.

Sanchez, who was actively returning to defense, subconsciously yelled a reminder: "Left!"

But it was already too late, Tang Zheng missed the football with his right foot and feinted a shot.

Cycling!

Iniesta is less than 1.7 meters tall, and has a strong ability to change the center of gravity of his body. He kicked the toes of his left foot to the ground, forcibly stopping his body's momentum, and at the same time stretched his right leg to try to reach the football that Tang Zheng's left foot moved to the left.

The results of it?

Tang Zheng didn't play the ball with the outer instep of his left foot as he had imagined. Instead, he used the flexibility of his ankle and the confusion of the center of gravity of his upper body to swing to the left. Rolled under Iniesta's outstretched right leg.

"Cycling and pendulum style!!" Central 5 commentator He Wei suddenly raised his voice, almost yelling crazily: "Tang Zheng passed Iniesta through the crotch."

Meanwhile, Iniesta was thinking it was too late to close his legs.

The Dortmund fans who came to the scene were completely crazy. They really didn't expect Tang Zheng to use his excellent foot skills to break through three Barcelona players in a row at the Nou Camp.

You know, Iniesta and Harvey are considered by many media to be the midfielders with the best footwork in active service.

In this way, it is tantamount to playing tricks.

The Barcelona fans in the stands seemed to have been slapped hard on the face, with burning pain.

They booed even louder, in order to warn Tang Zheng that enough is enough in the Nou Camp.

Harvey and Iniesta were continuously broken by Tang Zheng. As a midfielder, Busquets could not do nothing, because Tang Zheng had already entered the 40-meter attack zone, and Kuba's forward penetration caused left back Adriano not to dare to go too far. Adduction.

If Busquets didn't step forward, Tang Zheng would have to face the central defender directly.

Busquets' ability to become Barcelona's main midfielder is directly related to his broad vision and super ability to read the game.

He stepped forward with a purpose.

Don't seek to steal the ball directly, but let the football stay where it is.

But Tang Zheng, who has played as a defensive midfielder for a long time, doesn't know what Busquets is going to do?

Gotze had a strong sense of follow-up and coordination, and he had already reached the middle. Tang Zheng didn't dribble any more, and passed the ball horizontally with the arch of his right foot.

Tang Zheng, who was just about to defend Busquets and had to give up his off-ball state, turned around to put pressure on Gotze.

Although Tang Zheng without the ball is equally dangerous, according to the defense-first rule, he can only choose to defend Gotze.

Goetze, who was running, extended his right foot, and used the instep of his foot to stop the football back, which is equivalent to making room for the pass, and then handed it directly to Tang Zheng who was thrusting forward.

It was too late for Busquets to defend Tang Zheng, and central defender Pique stepped up in time.

Tang Zheng didn't give Pique a chance to come up, but stopped the football on the inside of the instep of his right foot, and swung his right foot without hesitation!

Before the game, head coach Pep Guardiola mentioned that Tang Zheng is good at long-range shots, but also good at fake shots and real dunks.

So Pique didn't dare to pounce too hard, he kept a safe distance from Tang Zheng.

Considering that Tang Zheng is more than 30 meters away from the goal, and the shooting angle is not wide enough, even if he hits the goal frame, he will not be able to threaten Valdez, so Pique did not even block the interference movement forward, but moved forward with both arms Lost behind him, waiting for Tang Zheng to shoot.

"Boom~"

The moment Tang Zheng's right foot came into contact with the football, there was a crisp sound.

Pique, who was almost useless, could only watch the football kicked by Tang Zheng whizzing past him.

Marcel Leff chanted: "Shoot!!!"

The football does not rotate in mid-air, and the football under the high-definition camera can clearly see the logo of the five-star UEFA Champions League...

The Barcelona fans standing behind the goal seemed to be pinched by someone's throat, unable to make any sound.

Because of football, straight to the goal.

Goalkeeper Valdez is fully prepared, but the football is flying faster than he imagined, and the angle is more tricky!

He moved hurriedly, moving from the near corner to the far corner.

However, the running speed of football is much faster than that of human beings. The only thing he is lucky about now is that he stands relatively close to the middle, and Tang Zheng's shot is the goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball.

But when the football flew to the penalty spot, it suddenly fell, and the falling speed was beyond imagination!

According to his past game experience, the football flying in at a high speed will have a bounce.

This is fatal!

Valdez, who was moving, had no time to think, the sole of his right foot suddenly stared at the ground, and the whole person vacated with the reaction force, extending his right arm.

"Oops!"

Valdez felt a 'thump' in his heart, because the game had just started less than half a minute ago, and the Camp Nou stadium was still very wet after being sprinkled with water. The high-speed football would have a forward acceleration after landing. His Before the palm of the right hand is fully opened, the football comes.

"Oh-My-God!!"

The pupils of the Catalan TV commentator shrank suddenly, and his throat subconsciously let out an exclamation.

※※※

"Ooh-oh--"

After the ball hit the ground, the football accelerated past Valdés' fingertips, and the hearts of the Barcelona fans rose to their throats, until the football touched the outer edge of the far post and crossed the baseline, and then hit the billboard with a crisp sound. They made deafening exclamations with lingering fear.

"The ball—" Marcel Leff, who was about to shout 'goal', stopped abruptly, and exclaimed in surprise: "Not scored? What a pity!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei stood up excitedly from the commentary seat, holding his head in his hands: "My God, Tang Zheng's shot didn't go in! The football rubbed against the outside edge of the goal post and rolled out of the baseline."

The Catalan TV commentator said with horror: "Fortunately! There is a slight difference, otherwise Dortmund, who is a guest, will break the deadlock in less than a minute of the game!"

After completing the shot, Tang Zheng clasped his hands together, looked up at the night sky of Camp Nou, and almost roared out a national curse: "I~ grass!"

But his reaction was very fast, and he quickly signaled to the referee on duty that the goalkeeper Valdez touched the football, which should be a corner kick.

Forwards Lewandowski and Gotze also raised their hands to signal that they were attacking the left corner.

Dortmund head coach Klopp shook his arm angrily. If Tang Zheng's long-range shot makes a difference, the chances of an away game reversal will be greatly increased!

Pity!

Immediately, like the players on the field, he raised his arms high and signaled for a corner kick.

Until then, the panicked Barcelona players came back to their senses, saying that Valdes didn't touch the football, it should be a goal kick.

Goalkeeper Valdez quickly got up from the ground, shaking his right index finger, indicating that he did not touch the football.

The Dutch referee Kupes glanced at the assistant referee with the word "惊" written all over his face, hesitated a little, and gave Dortmund a corner kick.

Harvey complained to the referee, but the referee was very firm and pointed to the left corner with a smile.

At the same time, the on-site director gave a slow motion of Tang Zheng's long shot.

Under the high-definition broadcast, the fans in front of the TV could clearly see the football flying past Pique's crotch after leaving Tang Zheng's right foot, and then when it reached the highest point, there was an obvious drop, and the falling speed was very fast...

Goalkeeper Valdez fought hard to make a save, and the tip of his right finger slightly touched the football. It was precisely this touch that the football rolled out of the baseline against the outer edge of the far post of the goal.

Otherwise, it is very likely to hit the inside edge of the goal post and bounce into the goal.

The commentators were still reminiscing about Tang Zheng's high-quality long shot in less than a minute, and Pirlo had already sent Dortmund to attack the left corner.

Dortmund has a lot of high points, Subotic, Hummels and Tang Zheng are all over 1.9 meters, Lewandowski and Piszczek are 1.85 meters.

In Barcelona, ​​only Pique and Busquets are taller than 1.9 meters. Valdez, who is 1.83 meters tall, is the third tallest in the team. The other five midfielders and two full-backs are all about 1.7 meters. Mascherano is 1.79 meters.

So in terms of air defense, Barcelona suffers a lot.

Among them, Tang Zheng, Hummels and Subotic are the three points that Barcelona players focus on.

Pirlo's corner kick from the left was urgent and fast, but it also had a strong arc from outside to inside, flying towards the middle and rear points.

Tang Zheng moved very flexibly. When Pirlo raised his right arm to signal, he started running from the rear to the restricted area line, and then ran forward from the restricted area line.

Pique and Adriano encountered a pick-and-roll similar to a basketball court when chasing and defending Tang Zheng, so they had to take a shortcut to defend Tang Zheng.

But taking a shortcut is risky, Tang Zheng took this opportunity to make an emergency stop on the spot, and went back to the rear.

And the corner kick from Pirlo just flew to the back point, and Tang Zheng, who was in an unmarked state, leaped high, stretched his waist and abdomen, and naturally opened his arms to maintain his balance. A standard lion shook his head and smashed the football towards the near corner of the goal. .

Alves, who was standing next to the right goalpost, jumped up subconsciously with the soles of his feet, trying to push the ball out, but Tang Zheng's header was very powerful, and his bounce speed couldn't keep up with the flying speed of the football...

For Barcelona, ​​they escaped the first day of junior high school, and they should not be able to escape the fifteenth day!
