Midfielder Ruler

The on-site director gave a slow-motion replay. Piszczek’s cross hit firmly behind Mascherano’s arm and popped out of the baseline. Central 5 commentator He Wei said extremely dissatisfied: “The referee Kupes really Didn’t you see it? Turning a blind eye to such an obvious handball in the penalty area? His position is good!!”

"Oh-Shit!! This... handball is too obvious, isn't it? The referee refused to award penalty kicks in a row, is this really reasonable?" Marcel Leff said incoherently: "Seeing this scene, I think of In the semi-finals of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League, Chelsea's multiple penalty opportunities throughout the game were turned a blind eye by the referee on duty!"

Tang Zheng in the live broadcast was completely like a replica of Barack back then, running up to the referee Kupes at a speed of 100 meters, patted his left arm excitedly, and roared almost crazily: "Didn't you see it? I got it! I got it!!”

Dortmund also surrounded the referee Kupes on duty and asked for a penalty.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The Barcelona fans at Camp Nou feared that the world would not be chaotic, and created deafening boos to detonate the atmosphere as much as possible.

The best outcome for them is that the referee Kupes can't stand the complaints of the Dortmund players, and then shows a yellow card or two.

Of course, it is best to get a direct red card, and it is still against the captain of Dortmund.

Perhaps because of Kupes' guilty conscience, he didn't give a card to the Dortmund players' excessive language and actions that were almost out of control, and he didn't even give a warning.

Dortmund players were very dissatisfied with referee Kupes's penalty, but veteran Pirlo was quite calm, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller even ran more than half of the pitch to pull away his teammates who were out of control.

With the assistance of the assistant referee, most Dortmund players reluctantly walked towards the player tunnel.

Dortmund coach Kloppa complained to the fourth official, complaining about the inaction of the referee on duty.

Fortunately, assistant coach Zelico Buvac and fitness coach Oliver Bartlett kept close to the emotional Klopp, and they tried their best to pull Klopp back to the player channel after the protest was invalid.

At the same time, the on-site commentary commentators also gave various comments on the referee's penalty.

If it is okay to say that one obvious penalty kick is not awarded, two in a row is a bit unreasonable.

Besides, Dortmund is currently leading by two goals, and they are still one goal away from reversing to advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League. Two penalties are not awarded, which is somewhat easy to grasp.

There was no need for a penalty kick at the Westfalen Stadium in the first round, and now there are two consecutive penalty kicks in the away game. Does the huge contrast performance not allow the commentators on the spot to give full play to their imagination?

The Catalan TV commentator felt blushing and deliberately changed the subject: "The first half of the game is over, and Barcelona, ​​which is playing at home, is only one step away from being eliminated. Josep must make adjustments during the intermission, otherwise the home A reversal by Dortmund is very possible!"

Visiting team locker room.

Dortmund's coaching staff and eleven starting players were very dissatisfied with the referee's performance in the second half of the first half. Two obvious penalties were not awarded, and the anger was palpable.

The hot-tempered Subotic even kicked the stool next to his legs angrily, and it shattered to the ground with a "slap".

"I feel like we're being targeted!" Schmelzer spat on the ground.

"Obviously! Someone wants to recommend Barcelona!" Gotze, who has always been quiet, also expressed his views.

"Hey~ forget it, clean up your mood and prepare for the second half." Tang Zheng sighed, and immediately clenched his fists, his gaze was firm: "I don't believe it! We can't beat Barcelona!"

"Don's right!" At this moment,

Head coach Klopp said loudly: "Facts have proved that we have the ability to advance! I believe that the team that will eventually advance to the semi-finals will be our Dortmund!"

After all, Klopp changed his voice and praised Tang Zheng and Lewandowski for scoring goals respectively.

Other players are naturally included in his praise. Football is a team sport, and an individual's ability can never match that of a team.

Finally, Klopp briefly talked about the subtle tactical adjustments in the second half of the game.

Home team locker room.

Almost all Barcelona players are stern and in a bad mood.

Head coach Guardiola has never been good at inciting players' emotions. He sighed, clapped his hands, and said to himself, regardless of whether the players were listening or not: "In the first half, our main confidence was not very high. The 3:1 victory in the away game led to an unstable mentality, and we had no choice in the second half! If it weren't for the referee's hesitation, we would be doomed! We are Barcelona! We don't allow a rout at home..."

※※※

Fifteen minutes into the halftime break, it was unknown what the head coaches of the two teams said in the locker room, and the TV commentators with live broadcast rights replayed the first half that ended.

Dortmund, who fought back against the wall, played their characteristics and advantages, while Barcelona, ​​​​which has home court advantage, played very poorly.

But what is more talked about is that the referee Kupez ignored the obvious fouls and handballs in the penalty area of ​​the central defender combination of Pique and Mascherano.

Not to mention that all two obvious penalties were whistled, even if only one of them was whistled and Dortmund led by three goals, the second half of the game will be more interesting.

If Barcelona fall behind by three goals at home, they have no choice.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly amid the chatter of the commentators, and the players from both sides of the game slowly walked back to the court.

Barcelona, ​​which is behind, has no intention of making substitutions, and Dortmund, which is leading away, has no reason to make substitutions.

No matter the fans at the scene or in front of the TV, they are looking forward to the start of the second half.

Barcelona fans are a little worried, while Dortmund fans are nervous and full of expectations, expecting the team to create miracles!

How about a home loss?

Just pull it back away!

The frenzied atmosphere of the Camp Nou stadium is far inferior to the opening stage because of the lack of strength of the home team Barcelona. At this time, the stadium that can accommodate nearly 100,000 fans is more like a small stadium that can accommodate only a few thousand people.

Before the game changed sides to fight again in the second half, the on-site director captured a very interesting scene-the visiting team coach Klopp came to the fourth official, said a few words, and then patted the fourth official on the shoulder.

Central 5 commentator He Wei's eyes lit up, and he said: "If I guess correctly, this is the pressure that Klopp put on the referee before the second half. The two penalties in the first half were not awarded, which should not have been awarded. !"

Barcelona, ​​having gained the kick-off advantage, did not rush to pass the ball up the field, and they continued to attack according to their own routines, giving the impression that they were ahead rather than behind.

Dortmund didn't make much tactical adjustments. They restricted the performance of Barcelona's brain Harvey according to the high pressure in the first half, and Barcelona's lack of a strong center was infinitely magnified.

While maintaining control of the football, the attack that threatened Weidenfeller in goal has yet to play out.

Five minutes passed quickly, during which only Messi's weak shot was easily confiscated by Weidenfeller.

The Catalan TV commentator hesitated and said: "Should Josep consider substituting and adjusting? The goal conceded in the first half seemed to be caused by Leo fighting alone, but in fact it was caused by only the forward line. Leo is in good form, Alexis and Pedro are not at their best..."

If Pedro and Sanchez had heard those words, they would have countered that it wasn't that they weren't playing well enough, but that the football was rarely passed to their feet.

Nevertheless, when the game progressed to the fifty-third minute, Barcelona took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

Cesc Fabregas replaced the underperforming Sanchez.

Sanchez, who was replaced, looked helpless. He really wanted to show his performance, but what could he do if the football didn't reach his feet?

※※※

Fabregas' substitute came off the bench to a great extent to ease the organizational pressure on Harvey and Iniesta, especially Harvey.

The reason why Dortmund was able to limit Barcelona's offense in the first half was mostly because Harvey was in a frozen state.

Now Cesc Fabregas comes off the bench, and his vision, passing and imagination can all help Barcelona.

Compared with Sanchez, the appearance of Fabregas can increase Barcelona's midfield contact point, and at the same time, it can liberate Pedro.

No, Fabregas created a chance not long after he played.

Messi, who was retreating, was strictly guarded by Tang Zheng. He did not continue to compete with Tang Zheng, but handed it over to Harvey in the middle.

Gundogan pushed out at the first time, Harvey immediately handed the football to Iniesta, Gundogan turned a corner and ran to Iniesta, Dortmund's overall defense slowly moved closer to the center.

Cesc Fabregas, who came off the bench, slowly ran towards the left side of the attack, forming a triangle area with Harvey and Iniesta. Iniesta hit Fabregas without stopping the ball.

Almost everyone thought that Cesc Fabregas was just one of Barcelona's pass support points, but it was not. He played with Guardiola's latest instructions-to become the team's main offensive point.

That is to say, Harvey, Iniesta, Messi and others have to give up the ball, and Fabregas temporarily takes over the core position.

Dortmund's defense moved closer to the center, resulting in insufficient number of wing defenders. Fabregas swung the outside of his right foot to the right, facing his own side to attack the right, and made a full posture to shift the direction of attack.

Suddenly, he slammed the ball back with his right foot and sent a through ball to the left. Left back Adriano made a high-speed jump.

Pischek quickly pulled it out again, Adriano looked up at the penalty area, but the pass was towards Pedro in the left corner of the penalty area.

"Aww-"

Barcelona's continuous passing caused Pedro to be temporarily unmarked, and the home fans at the Nou Camp stadium rarely burst into loud cheers.

With the shouts erupting from the Nou Camp, Pedro assumed a true pass, and the football passed under the feet of Hummels, who jumped up to block the shot, and rolled towards Messi, who slanted into the left rib of the penalty area.

"Messi Messi!!" The voice of the Catalan TV commentator added obvious expectations.

Many Barcelona fans at the scene raised their arms high excitedly, ready to move in advance.

In the rebroadcast footage, Messi swung his golden left foot while running, and shot from about eleven yards away from the goal.

But at this moment, a long leg blocked his shooting path with lightning speed, and the football bounced out of the baseline.

"Ooh-oh--"

The cheers erupting from the Camp Nou stadium instantly turned into a huge cry of regret.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller reached out and wiped his forehead with lingering fear, and let out a long breath.

In the pre-match preparations, Messi's shooting percentage in this area is very high.

If a goal is pulled back by Barcelona less than ten minutes into the second half, the chances of reversing and advancing will be greatly reduced.

Messi looked at Tang Zheng who was sitting on the ground arranging his socks, and helplessly spat on the ground.

Regardless of this game or last year's European Super Cup, this damn Chinese has been keeping a close eye on him, and refuses to give him even a little space.

The moment he lifted his foot to shoot just now, he thought he was about to score a goal, but Chen Yaojin was killed midway, and the football hit Tang Zheng's calf in the face, and bounced off the baseline.

At the same time, the narrators at the commentary booth came to praise Tang Zheng's monstrous performance.

"At the critical moment, we still have to look at Tang Zheng! Without his perseverance, I think Barcelona would have won a goal at home!"

"Don's defense this time allows us to see the timely blocking of AC Milan in the Champions League 1/8 finals. If he does not stop in the first round, I think it will be very difficult for Barcelona to score goals!"

"In the Bundesliga, he is called the nemesis of Bayern, and in Europe, he can become the nemesis of Barcelona! No one can score goals in front of him, even the world's number one Messi!"

Dortmund coach Klopp, feeling grateful, immediately pulled the arm of Royce who was about to play: "Marco, after playing, you must remind your teammates on the field to concentrate. Don's position is slightly retracted, so that Ilka I moved closer to let him keep an eye on Cesc Fabregas' space."

Royce nodded lightly, turned and walked to the side of the fourth official, waiting to play.

Barcelona's corner kick attack still takes short corner kicks. Their height disadvantage is obvious, and passing the high ball is tantamount to giving up the ball.

Through a series of passes, Barcelona did not create good shooting opportunities, and it was finally ended by Pedro's long-range shot over the crossbar.

Immediately, the referee Kupes pointed to the sidelines, indicating that someone wanted to change.

It is not surprising that Dortmund made a substitution adjustment. The surprise is that Royce replaced Gotze instead of Kuba.

In fact, in terms of his contribution to the team in this game, Kuba is much better than Gotze.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kuba's enthusiasm and speed are better than Gotze.

Coupled with Royce who came off the bench, Dortmund's quick counterattack is really about to take off!

The game continued, Dortmund controlled the first point, Lewandowski beat Pique to head the ball to Tang Zheng.

The formation unfolded and moved forward.

The shortcomings of replacing Goetze have also gradually emerged, because there are fewer frontcourt organization points.

Lewandowski, who received the football, found that there was no good pass point, so he turned around and shot at the penalty area line.

Football misses the post, Barcelona goal kick.
