"CCTV, CCTV, the live broadcast for you now is the focus of the third round of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League Group D round. Dortmund sits at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium to face the Galacticos Real Madrid! The first kick-off is wearing Away team Real Madrid in white jersey and white shorts, they attack from the right side of the camera to the left..."

Accompanied by the whistle of the on-duty referee Kasai, the CCTV 5 commentator He Wei excitedly shouted the standard lines of CCTV.

At the same time, Ozil kicked the football to forward Benzema, and Lewandowski and Gotze surrounded him from left to right, as if they were going to start the game with a high position to press.

For Dortmund's well-known high position oppression, Real Madrid coach Mourinho obviously had a rigorous tactical arrangement before the game.

Handling the ball in the backcourt must be clean and tidy, especially the handling of the ball in the backline, and the football must be sent to the frontcourt as much as possible.

After all, there are midfielders and defenders behind the frontcourt conceding the ball. If the defenders concede the ball, only the goalkeeper remains...

The atmosphere at the Westfalen Stadium is still frantic. Dortmund fans, who have an absolute superiority in numbers, made deafening boos when Real Madrid players were in possession of the ball, forcing them to make mistakes in possession of the ball.

It has to be said that the psychological quality of Real Madrid players is very good, even the 19-year-old Varane can handle the ball calmly.

After the slow pace of the first two minutes, the Real Madrid players realized that Dortmund's central and frontcourt players did not mean high pressure, so they increased the number of passes from the midfield and the midfield to ensure that the football under their feet was not intercepted by Dortmund.

Mourinho watched the Ruhr Derby at the Westfalen Stadium last weekend. Dortmund intercepted the ball in the backcourt and played a quick counterattack very quickly. In terms of efficiency, it was even comparable to his carefully formulated quick counterattack tactics.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the lateral pass, and make full use of the width of the court while strengthening the ball possession time.

Plus, both Ozil and Xabi Alonso are passers who are good at spotting holes in defenses.

And Dortmund's defensive loopholes can only appear in continuous left and right cross passes and long pass transfers.

But this style of play is not what Real Madrid coached by Mourinho is good at. They are better at digging out the opponent's defensive gaps in the process of switching from defense to offense.

So in terms of effect, it didn't have the effect that Mourinho saw. On the contrary, Dortmund almost seized the opportunity of Real Madrid's threatening pass to play a subtle counterattack.

Although Dortmund put on a defensive posture at the beginning, the midfielder has super technical ability.

Double defensive midfielder Sven Bender partnered with Pirlo, Tang Zheng was in the center, Gotze and Reus were on the left and right, and Hummels, who has a strong ability to play the ball, Dortmund launched a long pass in the backcourt to counterattack. strong ability.

With no other way, Mourinho had no choice but to give up possession and let Dortmund, who was playing at home, lead the offense.

Within a few minutes of the game, Klopp, who was sitting on the home team coach's bench, discovered Real Madrid's intentions, but he didn't care.

If he didn't take into account the situation of qualifying for the group in the home game, he would not let the team choose to keep a low profile in the opening stage.

It's good now, take the initiative to return the possession of the ball.

In the midfield, except for Sven Bender, who is in charge of defense, who has a slightly weaker foot ability, the other four players have a strong ability to hold the ball at their feet, so it is difficult for Real Madrid players to pose a threat to Dortmund's ball-handling players in the midfield.

Coupled with the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo does not like defense, it is equivalent to saying that Real Madrid's defense at this stage can only be completed by the other nine players.

The defense is already passive, and now there is one less defense, which somewhat makes Real Madrid coach Mourinho feel a headache.

Logically speaking, there is no player under him who does not fulfill his defensive responsibilities, but Cristiano Ronaldo has a strong scoring ability, can score 40+ goals in a single season, and is the darling of Real Madrid fans.

no way.

※※※

Ten minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria tried to attack Schmelzer's defense on the left.

As a result, Dortmund deployed heavy troops here, and Subotic and Sven Bender paid special attention to the defensive position on the left. It is tantamount to saying that Mourinho's tactical changes before the game were caught by Klopp. .

The technical abilities of Dortmund's midfielders are not weaker than Real Madrid's at all, coupled with Pirlo's rhythm control and Tang Zheng's active running, the Westfalen Stadium during this period has become a sea of ​​joy.

Real Madrid defended passively, and coach Mourinho also frequently appeared under the broadcast camera. He conveyed the latest tactical adjustments through gestures.

Mourinho thought that Schmelzer was the weakness of Dortmund's defensive system, so why didn't Klopp use Real Madrid's defensive left as a breakthrough?

Essien played more of a defensive midfielder during his time at Chelsea. He also played as a right back and a central defender, but neither was very reassuring.

What's more, Essien, who is about to turn 30, has declined significantly, and his right-footed left-back somewhat brings a little bit of worry to Real Madrid fans.

Even the teammates on the field are very worried about Essien. The defensive midfielder Khedira pays more attention to the defense on the left side of his side. Harvey Alonso has to help defend his side while taking care of the center. Defend on the right.

Tang Zheng, whom Dortmund relies on on the offensive end, is in trouble on the offensive end, and Ozil and Di Maria seem to be hooked on him.

They allowed Tang Zheng to pass the ball back and forth without stopping, but they just didn't allow him to take the ball and turn around.

Once Tang Zheng entered Real Madrid's 30-meter defensive zone, Harvey Alonso also focused on Tang Zheng, paying attention to the connection between the Dortmund players in the frontcourt and Tang Zheng, so as to cut off his connection with the offensive players.

This is also the reason why Dortmund's offense has not been opened for a long time, because Tang Zheng, the soul of offense, was frozen by Mu's defense.

Tang Zheng was very smart, he realized that the attention he received was actually an opportunity for his teammates.

Gotze, Royce, and Lewandowski all have strong personal abilities, and they all have the ability to change the outcome of the game, so Tang Zheng uses his own active running to create space for other frontcourt teammates.

In the fourteenth minute, Tang Zheng suddenly ran to attack the left flank. He took away the defensive attention of Ozil and Di Maria, and at the same time signaled Pirlo, who was holding the ball, to pass the football over.

Pirlo didn't hesitate, pushed the arch of his foot, and the football quickly rolled towards Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng ran to attack the left flank, Gete cleverly gave up his position and chose to retract.

Because of Schmelzer's forward pressure, Ramos, the right back, did not dare to step forward, which meant that the central defensive midfielder Xavi Alonso had to take into account Tang Zheng's possible choices after he got the ball.

However, what he never expected was that Tang Zheng didn't stop the ball, but directly stepped on the football with the sole of his left foot, and then pulled it backward, and the football rolled to the line of Goetze's inward cut.

Tang Zheng, who had been frozen by Real Madrid's defensive system for a long time, created a chance through a sudden oblique thrust and a non-stop ball pull, and a deafening shout suddenly sounded in the Westphalian Stadium: "Awwhhh—"

Gotze is fast, has a strong dribbling ability, and has a certain long-range shooting skills. Before Harvey Alonso made up the defense, he chose to shoot directly from the goal 26 meters away!

"Mario!!" The German sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted suddenly: "Long shot——"

The football flew towards the upper left corner of the goal like a fired shell, and the Real Madrid Expeditionary Army who came to the Westfalen Stadium with the team took a breath.

I saw Iker Casillas in the rebroadcast footage plucking onions on the dry land in place. He is not tall and plays extremely fast, with sufficient kicking force. He stretches his right arm to hold the football out of the baseline.

"Ooh-oh--"

Immediately afterwards, deafening voices of regret rang out over the Westphalian Stadium.

Gotze pulled his hair with both hands, his face full of regret.

"San Igor!" The Spanish national TV commentator raised his arms excitedly and shouted: "Wonderful save!!"

Tang Zheng ran over and put his arms around Gotze's neck, and said with a smile, "Pretty!"

"Pity."

Gotze shook his head.

Tang Zheng smiled, didn't speak any more, but patted Gotze on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then ran into the penalty area.

Iker Casillas made a wonderful save and gave Dortmund a corner.

"It has to be said that the technical and tactical content of this game is extremely high. The first corner kick of the game did not appear until the fifteenth minute of the game." Central 5 commentator He Wei said passionately.

Dortmund got a corner kick, and the Real Madrid players in the penalty area became tense instantly.

As we all know, the current Cristiano Ronaldo has comprehensive skills and can use various methods to score goals. Among them, heading the ball is the most frequently used method of scoring goals.

So in Mourinho's defensive corner kick tactics, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ramos defend Tang Zheng together.

Tang Zheng is 1.94 meters tall, and his jumping and judgment of the football's landing are excellent. It is also understandable why Mourinho let the two top header masters in the team defend Tang Zheng.

Cristiano Ronaldo felt somewhat disdainful towards Tang Zheng, so he kept a distance.

But Ramos didn't have this kind of mentality, his job was to defend, facing Tang Zheng, he chose to grab the jersey directly.

Tang Zheng was in a frozen state for the past ten minutes, which somewhat made him sullen.

Now it's hard to get a corner kick, but Ramos still got it?

But... At this moment, Pirlo took an offensive left corner kick.

Tang Zheng didn't have time to think about it, he quickly stretched out his hand to pat Ramos' right hand that was holding on to the jersey tightly, and after gaining room to move, he judged where the football would land, then bent his knees and jumped on the spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been keeping a distance from Tang Zheng, looked at the ball and followed Tang Zheng to jump.

The difference from Tang Zheng jumping on the spot is that he has a good run-up distance, so he can jump even higher!

So Cristiano Ronaldo has enough confidence to believe that he can beat Tang Zheng to complete the corner kick!

The results of it?

When Cristiano Ronaldo jumped to the highest point, he found that Tang Zheng's body was still rising...

He Wei, the narrator of Central 5, watched the live broadcast and exclaimed, "You jumped really high!"
