Midfielder Ruler

When Lewandowski handed the football to Tang Zheng's feet in front of the top of the penalty area, the hearts of all the Barcelona fans in Camp Nou were greatly chilled. ．

Tang Zheng's long-range shooting skills resounded throughout Europe, and now he is undisturbed in the core area in front of the arc top of the big penalty area, which is definitely a disaster for the goal!

Mascherano naturally knew this, so he threw out his entire body without hesitation.

Tang Zheng made a fake shot and made a real kick, flicked the instep of his right foot to the right, looked up at the goalkeeper Valdez's position, then stepped forward with his left foot for support, and swung his right foot.

Pique and Adriano couldn't care whether they had time to block Tang Zheng's shot, and rushed forward recklessly.

Tang Zheng who swung his right foot did not shoot, but sent the ball to the right rib of the penalty area with the arch of his right foot.

Lewandowski looked at the incoming ball and didn't have any intention of catching the ball, because he saw Kuba's right-handed high jump, turned around and ran sideways to the far end.

According to the current offside rules in world football, even if Lewandowski was closer to Barcelona's bottom line, the assistant referee did not raise the side flag.

Kuba, who entered the penalty area obliquely from the right, is farther away from Barcelona's bottom line than Pique or Adriano.

Moreover, Alves, who was chasing back from the far end, was brought closer to the bottom line by Gotze's forward drive...

At this moment, the noise produced by the Camp Nou stadium has dropped significantly.

Kubadu is extremely fast and has a very high tactical quality. He didn't make any adjustments in the high-speed running, and directly swung his right foot to cross the football into the middle of the penalty area.

Lewandowski, who outflanked and followed up in the middle, swung his right foot to face the football. As a result, the direction of the football was changed and it rolled towards the goal.

Valdes in front of the goal leaned over and swooped in embarrassment, but compared to the running speed of football, his moving speed is really a bit slow.

In the end, the football rolls to the near corner, which is equivalent to the far corner defended by Valdes.

The moment the football crossed the goal line, the Camp Nou fell silent.

In fact, when Lewandowski swung his right foot, the Barcelona fans in the stands had already shut up.

The sound behind is caused by the reverberation of the stadium.

Lewandowski, who scored a goal, was very excited. He took off his shirt excitedly and ran all the way.

But his speed was slower than his Polish compatriot Kuba, who was equally excited and pulled Lewandowski to the ground.

Tang Zheng, Gotze, Piszczek and others who followed up rushed forward and pressed on Lewandowski.

The head coach Klopp hit a set of combined punches almost crazily, and then raised his arms and shouted!

At the same time, the narrators in the live commentary went crazy.

"Unbelievable! Dortmund took a two-goal lead in the away game through an efficient quick counterattack! Now the total score is 3:3!! They still need a goal to reverse Barcelona and advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League!"

"Levdowski scored a key goal! Who would have thought of this before the game? Dortmund led by two away goals in the 27th minute of the game! They are one goal away from qualifying!"

"Facts have proved! Dortmund with Don and Dortmund without Don are completely two teams. Barcelona won a Dortmund second team a week ago! The suspense of the Champions League semi-finals is reborn!!"

"Goal! Goal! Defending champions Barcelona are in big trouble at home!"

"Lewandowski's goal gave Dortmund a two-goal lead away! I bet! Goals to come!!"

...

The Barcelona players on the field were very depressed,

Before the game, they once thought that the home game was just a formality.

But what about the result?

In less than half an hour, the visiting Dortmund led by two goals!

Messi, who is absolutely responsible for conceding the ball, covered his face with his hands. Under the night sky, he had the meaning of facing the Nou Camp fans shamelessly.

The mood of Pique, Mascherano, Alves, Sanchez and others is not much better.

Two goals behind is no worse than one goal behind, from a psychological level, the impact is huge.

Less than half an hour after the start of the game, you are behind by two goals, what should you do in the remaining hour?

Continue to attack?

Or... defense?

In any case, the team's confidence has been frustrated, and it is difficult to guarantee that the defense will not lose the ball again.

Had one more goal been conceded in the remainder of the game, the three away goals advantage would have been wiped out.

The on-site director switched to the Barcelona coach Guardiola and pushed to a close-up of the face.

His expression has changed a lot compared to the first goal lost, and there is a trace of tension in depression.

Dortmund's state in this game is very good, just like two teams from last week.

The defense is impregnable and the offense impeccable.

Two goals, only with four kicks so far in the whole game...

※※※

Every Barcelona player has experienced many battles and has rich experience in the game. It is reasonable to say that they have long been used to this kind of scene, but the two conceded goals in less than half an hour still made them lose their sense of normalcy.

The players in front want to score, and the players behind also want to help, but they are very afraid of losing the ball again.

Although it was Barcelona who advanced to the semi-finals at the end of the game according to this score, but with one hour left in the game, no one dared to guarantee that Dortmund, who was in good form, would not score again.

If Dortmund scores another goal and Barcelona does not score, Dortmund will reverse and advance with a total score advantage.

The Barcelona players with ideological baggage are not as relaxed as they appeared before.

Messi, who was absolutely responsible for conceding the ball, wanted to take the blame and make meritorious service, but in the end, Tang Zheng, who was in excellent form, defended him without any temper.

In the 32nd minute, facing the defending Tang Zheng, Messi did not dare to break through and chose to pass the ball.

Iniesta's position hadn't fully run out, but Gundogan saw through and intercepted midway, and Dortmund fought back quickly again.

Messi, who knew his sins were serious, couldn't control so much, he shoveled Gundogan from the side.

The referee Kupes whistled and gave Messi a yellow card.

It was also the referee's yellow card in time that did not cause dissatisfaction among Dortmund players.

Cutting off Messi's pass is tantamount to another counterattack that can rewrite the score.

A yellow card is not an exaggeration for a foul with both tactical intent and retaliatory nature.

Central 5 commentator He Wei talked about Messi's yellow card: "This is not the Messi we are familiar with. His state is really bad..."

Marcel Leff attributed Messi's state problem to Tang Zheng's outstanding performance: "This game can definitely be shortlisted as one of the top ten worst performances of Messi's career. His performance reminds me of last year's European Cup. Don was perfect on the defensive end! He made Messi lose his former aura..."

Catalan TV commentator worried: "Le

Leo must make self-adjustment as soon as possible, otherwise Barcelona will be in trouble! "

Barcelona played very embarrassingly during this period, but Dortmund, who were not optimistic before the game, played well. They took advantage of Barcelona's inconsistent thinking before and after, and hoped to kill the game directly!

If the third goal can be scored before the end of the first half, the hope of reversing and advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League will be greatly increased!

Of course, the first thing Dortmund needs to do now is not to make mistakes.

Their most ideal score is to beat Barcelona 3:o in the away game, so that they can directly reverse and advance!

There is still a lot of game time, so there is no need to pursue it too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Even if the soldiers press down, they still rely on Tang Zheng, Pirlo, Gundogan, and Gotze's excellent foot skills and running back and forth to attack in series, which is quite similar to the pass-and-control play in Barcelona's usual tk-taka tactics.

With Dortmund on the offensive, Barcelona, ​​who played at home, was forced to defend.

Tang Zheng's position was originally at the front, but now he has been cruising around the first three areas of the restricted area, looking for opportunities.

His continuous running successfully involved Busquets, Barcelona's only midfielder, and Pirlo made a decisive diagonal pass to Gotze who cut into the penalty area.

Facing Pique's defense, Gotze stepped on two bicycles, and Pique was unmoved. When he stepped on the third bicycle, the instep of his right foot slammed the football towards the baseline, and Pique stretched his legs slowly. After half a beat, he didn't kick the football, but kicked Gotze's foot.

Alves, who shrunk into the penalty area, couldn't control that much, and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

Everyone looked at the referee Kupes, and the Camp Nou suddenly fell silent.

With the whistle in his mouth, Kupes hesitated for about half a second, and instead of blowing the whistle, he pointed to the corner.

Tang Zheng, who was standing at the top of the penalty area, could see it clearly. He and other Dortmund players surrounded him and complained to the referee.

Now leading by two goals, if you get a penalty kick, you have a chance to lead by three goals. This kind of opportunity should not be missed!

Faced with Tang Zheng's doubts, Kupes pointed to his eyes with a serious expression: "I can see very clearly that Barcelona's No. 3 didn't touch your teammate."

Tang Zheng in the camera shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Anyway, the game was still long, so he gave a bewildered smile.

Dortmund coach Klopp immediately rushed to the fourth official to complain that it was a veritable penalty.

And the following slow-motion replay also verified that Pique kicked Goetze down, and there is no doubt about the penalty.

"The referee shouldn't hesitate about this ball. Pique did kick Mario Gotze who made the breakthrough!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted injustice: "No matter what the next penalty kick is, there are no exceptions. Don or Andre Pirlo took the penalty, both are excellent opportunities for Dortmund to expand the score!"

"Judging from the slow motion, Kupez's position is very good, it should not be invisible! I think... this is because he considers the home field factor." Central 5 commentator He Wei said.

"Barcelona escaped, otherwise this game would be an absolute disaster for them!"

Guardiola let out a sigh of relief. If the referee awarded Dortmund a penalty kick, the suspense of advancing to the semi-finals would be great.

※※※

Pirlo took an offensive left corner kick, Tang Zheng overpowered Pique to grab the spot, but the force was too strong, and the football was higher than the crossbar.

Valdés put the football on the small penalty area line, and when he was about to take the short ball, he found that there were Dortmund players standing on both sides and in the middle. He had no choice but to kick the ball with his big foot.

Hummels and Subotic are over 1.9 meters tall. Facing Barcelona players who are about 1.7 meters tall, he can easily control the second landing point.

Dortmund switched from defense to offense, and the broadcaster gave the ball possession rate of both sides on the broadcast screen.

54% and 46%

The proportion of ball possession has changed from the original sixty-four points to the current almost fifty-fifty, which means that Barcelona's ball possession time is constantly decreasing.

The success of Barcelona coached by Guardiola is not because of how good their defense is, but because they fully interpret that the best defense is offense. They kill the game with continuous possession of the ball.

The current situation is completely opposite to their football philosophy. Guardiola stood on the sidelines and paced back and forth, talking to his assistant Vilanova from time to time.

Obviously, he has not yet found a solution to his current troubles.

If this situation continues, it is very likely to cause another goal loss.

If the referee hadn't shown mercy just now, the score would be 0:3 now.

For him, it is not without good news.

Dortmund's positional attack methods are not many, and there is not much time left in the first half.

He believed that after the team had a 15-minute break at halftime, the second half of the game would be very different.

After finally getting an offensive opportunity, the Dortmund players seemed to have been beaten because of their two-goal lead. They ran very aggressively, so that Barcelona's pass success rate continued to decline.

In order to ensure that the football is not lost, they pass the ball more laterally or back when attacking.

In a blink of an eye, the game time came to the end of the first half.

Iniesta received the football on the left side of the attack. He found that there was no angle to pass the ball, so he simply took a long shot.

His shot was blocked by Hummels, Pirlo and Harvey rushed to the football at the same time, because Pirlo was closer, Harvey had to take a foul, he knew that once Pirlo passed the football, the defense would suffer Dangerous.

At this time, the fourth official held up the electronic card for one minute of stoppage time.

Weidenfeller took a direct free kick from the back court. Tang Zheng, who was in the front, easily overwhelmed Busquets and Pique and gave the football to Cuba. After attracting Adriano, Cuba decisively split the side. Piszczek's national teammate Gao plugged in.

It was too late for Adriano to turn around, and central defender Mascherano had to pull out to defend.

Piszczek, who was running, didn't make a direct pass, but looked up at the penalty area. He found that neither Lewandowski nor Tang Zheng had reached their positions, so he simply slid the ball to the sideline of the penalty area.

Lewandowski and Tang Zheng ran in place, and Piszczek made a cross.

Mascherano subconsciously took off, trying to block the football with his body, but he forgot to retract his hands when he took off.

Piszczek's cross hits Mascherano's left elbow before bouncing off the baseline.

Piszczek was the closest and could see the most clearly. He raised his right arm reflexively and looked at the referee.

Lewandowski, who was about to grab the front point, and Kuba, who was standing in the right corner of the penalty area, raised their arms at the same time, turned and looked at Kupes to complain.

The referee Kupes blew his whistle.

However, he blew the whistle to end the first half and didn't even give a corner...

The Dortmund players quit, and the captain Tang Zheng rushed to the referee Kupes at a speed of 100 meters to ask for a penalty.

Klopp's attention was always on the field, and from his vantage point, he saw Pishcek's cross hit Mascherano's arm!

Absolute penalty!
