Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 380 Powerful Soul

Tang Zheng's 20+ goals and assists in all competitions in these two seasons is directly related to his current attacking midfielder, and Klopp also gave him an absolute core position in the frontcourt, even an absolute Right to fire.

Almost all Dortmund fans who come to the Westfalenstadion are die-hard fans. They are not only from Dortmund, but also many Dortmund fans from all over the country, and even fans from other European countries.

What for?

Isn't it to cheer for your beloved team at the scene?

Now that you're here, don't you want to see your favorite team win in the end?

Because this is a game that must be won, Tang Zheng previously played in a defensive midfielder, unable to fully utilize his offensive ability.

Now with Sven Bender replacing Gross Kreuz on the field, Gotze came to the left to make room for Tang Zheng's position, which means that the more than 70,000 Dortmund fans at the scene finally saw the moon. Ming, you can see the strongest Tang Zheng!

"Aww-"

With Tang Zheng's position, the change in the atmosphere of the scene was remarkable. Deafening cheers resounded from the sky above the Westfalen Stadium, helping to raise the frenzied atmosphere of the scene again.

The on-site director camera explained the premise of Tang Zheng's position. The German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said excitedly: "Sven Bender came off the bench, and Tang came to his best position. Now the game is very stalemate. The score is 1. : 1. Dortmund, who are at home, must score goals as soon as possible to exceed the score. This is a game that cannot even be tied. That's enough for Don!"

Heynckes frowned, the change he least wanted to see finally appeared.

Tang Zheng's defensive midfielder is actually very good at defense. In the stage of transition from defense to attack, he is restricted from passing and receiving the ball. In the stage of pure defense, he uses the advantage of numbers to limit the space. After all, he is far enough away from the goal, and the only option is to pass the ball.

It's different when playing as a front midfielder. Tang Hai, who is closer to the goal and has relatively superb shooting skills, can only directly pose a threat to Neuer guarding the goal.

In attacking the 30-meter zone, Tang Zheng's ability to take the ball, get rid of it, and pass the ball can create good opportunities.

Although I really don't want to see these scenarios happen, what is coming will come after all.

Half a minute later, Tang Zheng received a cross pass from Gotze 30 meters away from the goal and chose to stop and pass.

Then he chose to take a powerful long shot.

Harvey Martinez, who came to replace him, was obviously late, and he didn't even touch the shadow of football.

Still relying on the stable German goalkeeper Neuer to move quickly and contribute a very wonderful save.

Gotze ran to the corner flag on the right, and Heynckes came to the sidelines and shouted at captain Lahm to teach him the opportunity.

The on-site director's insight was very strong, and he immediately switched the camera to focus on Heynckes and Ram.

Duan Huan, the commentator of Central 5, said with a smile: "Tang Zheng shot from the first position, and also tested Neuer. Defensive tactics have certain targeted adjustments."

Gotze took a corner kick, and the teammate he was looking for was very obvious, Tang Zheng.

In the entire penalty area, Tang Zheng was the most threatening, and most of the attention of the Bayern players was naturally focused on him, but Tang Zheng was very smart this time. After a rub.

The football flew towards the unmarked Lewandowski, but Lewandowski obviously did not expect happiness to come so suddenly, his subconscious took off half a beat late, and only reached the fur of the football.

Heynckes, who had been keeping a close eye on the penalty area, let out a sigh of relief. Just now he was really worried that there would be problems with the defense.

But at the same time, it also reminded him that Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, but other players cannot be ignored, like Lewandowski, who has scored three goals against Barcelona. Top scorer in the Bundesliga.

Royce and Gotze also cannot be ignored. As German internationals, their personal abilities are outstanding, and their scoring ability is also very strong.

※※※

It's not that Heynckes didn't make targeted adjustments to Tang Zheng's attacking midfielder before the game, but Klopp's use of Tang Zheng at the beginning of the game was unexpected.

The second half was considered a return to standard, and Bayern's defensive tactics then returned to the key deployment during the preparation period.

However, Heynckes is still a little worried. Although the game is less than ten minutes into the second half and the decline in the players' physical fitness is not obvious, it does not mean that it will not happen.

The physical fatigue caused by the third-line battle cannot be ignored, and Tang Zheng is notoriously invincible in running. He worried that the team's defense would have problems from the 30 minutes to the end of the second half.

Originally, the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the middle of the week were very affordable. As a result, Real Madrid, who missed the league championship this season, did their best...

For Heynckes, these memories are painful and unbearable.

Under Dortmund's high pressure, Neuer didn't dare to make a short drive, so he simply kicked forward. This time Gomez overwhelmed Hummels and Subotic and gave the ball to Robben. Bayern's attack was able to continue.

But there is no better way to attack the 30-meter area, so Michael Reti, the commentator of German TV 2, shook his head and said: "Thomas Muller has a strong offensive ability and a ghostly running position, but he lacks in offensive organization. , with Schweinsteiger focusing more on the defensive end, Ribery's offensive organization cannot sort out the entire midfield attack. Should Joseph Heynckes give Toni Kroos some opportunities at this time? Woolen cloth?"

In fact, it is not that Heynckes has never thought about using Toni Kroos. The problem is that Toni Kroos' defensive awareness is not strong enough. He is worried that removing Muller, who is active in running ability, will cause problems in the midfield defense.

In this context, it is better to continue the current lineup. After all, a draw in away games is also an acceptable result.

The Champions League was eliminated, and the league title and German Cup title were the last straws for Heynckes.

If the league can remain unbeaten against Dortmund, it is very likely that the German Cup final at the Berlin Olympic Stadium early next month will defeat Dortmund and win the championship because of the boost in morale!

I think so, but the result has to be done through the efforts of the players on the field.

The game entered a stalemate, as soon as Tang Zheng got the ball, there would be deafening cheers in the sky above the Westfalenstadion.

At this difficult stage, the fans at the scene hoped that Tang Zheng could stand up.

However, the more this was the case, the more the Bayern players restricted Tang Zheng's activities.

But in this way, Bayern's attack time became less and less, and Dortmund completely controlled the midfield and took control of the overall situation.

Heynckes looked at this situation like an ant on a hot pot, remembering to turn around.

At his age, the coaching experience is super rich, and he knows the danger of losing the initiative.

Dortmund's offensive players in the frontcourt are all very capable of scoring. If it weren't for Neuer's high-punch resistance during this period, the follow-up score would have been exceeded again.

For Kroos?

Heynckes was very hesitant. He didn't know if replacing Kroos would bring new problems to the defense.

But as Dortmund continued to hold the ball and get shooting opportunities, Heynckes finally made up his mind to make adjustments and decided to replace Muller with Kroos to strengthen the midfield organization.

This substitution adjustment is immediate. Kroos has excellent skills at his feet, a wide field of vision, and has his own way of organizing offense with the ball.

He organized an effective attack not long after he played. If the goalkeeper Yan Junling was in amazing condition, standing on the goal line, he subconsciously stretched out his palm to save Gomez's header from close at hand. Bayern may have already overtaken away score!

The Dortmund fans at the scene subconsciously made a deafening exclamation: "Whoa--"

"What a pity!"

German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti said regretfully.

Hummels, who didn't stare at Gomez, hurried to the goal line and stretched out his hand to pull Yan Junling up to express his gratitude.

At the same time, Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said with lingering fear: "I really heard the thunder in a silent place. Fortunately, Yan Junling reacted quickly, otherwise Dortmund would fall behind Bayern Munich at home."

※※※

Due to this crisis in front of the goal, Dortmund's offense was affected to a certain extent. While organizing the offense, Tang Zheng was also distracted from the defensive problem of switching from offense to defense.

Clearly, Heynckes was right.

Although it failed to form a goal, it played a role in knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

Klopp really didn't expect that the offense had just improved, but now he had to accept the game returning to a stalemate.

The more stalemate the game, the better for Bayern, because the result they pursue is unbeaten.

"What should I do?" Klopp stood with his hands on his hips, wandering in the command area of ​​the home team coach.

The close-up shots of the live broadcast are given to Klopp from time to time, and the meaning he wants to express is very obvious-to remind Klopp to adjust the personnel on the field.

But Klopp is still quite satisfied with the existing personnel on the field. Gotze, Royce and Lewandowski are all in good condition, which is an important cornerstone for Dortmund to achieve excellent results in various competitions this season.

Unless he is in poor physical fitness, he will not make adjustments easily.

Just when Klopp was hesitating, the situation changed suddenly!

Toni Kroos had just come off the bench not long ago, he was energetic and active in running. After receiving the return pass from Gomez in the sideways direction, he rushed to attack Tang Zheng with a non-stop pass to attack his side's right rib, that is, Shi The half space between Meltzer and Subotic.

"Oops!"

It was already too late for Tang Zheng to extend his right foot to intercept the pass, the football rolled towards Robben's forward path at high speed.

Robben received the football in the right corner of the penalty area and faced Subotic again. This time, he did not speed up to pass from the bottom line, but first used his upper body to fake to the right to deceive Subotic's body center of gravity, and then used Super explosive power to send the ball to the left.

Robben route!

Subotic has an obvious adduction in Robben's realistic upper body feint. After all, the team's first conceded goal was a cross from Robben's bottom.

However, what I didn't expect was that Robben was more decisive this time, using super explosive power to complete the inside cut.

It was obviously too late when Subotic realized this. Robben swung the angle and decisively chose to play a curve ball with his left foot.

Yan Junling reacted very quickly, kicking on the spot, the whole person rose into the air, and his body was very stretched in midair.

However, the graceful movements failed to help Yan Junling make a key save. The football almost flew past the tip of his right middle finger, and then hit the inner edge of the left goal post before bouncing into the net...

Suddenly, the Westfalenstadion fell into a brief silence.

Say it's a game where Bayern scored a goal and Dortmund won the game?

how is this possible?

God! Are you joking?

Home fans are all thinking about this question.

But the scoreboard clearly shows 1:2

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

There is also a race time in the lower right corner: 66’25”

"This..." German Sky commentator Marcel Leff was stunned, and with years of experience in commentary, he forcibly explained: "Alger Robben used his best method to help Bayern Munich overtake the score!"

German TV Z2 commentator Michael Reti roared hoarsely: "Whoa! Arjen Robben!! Beautiful way of scoring! Bayern is more than 20 minutes away from their 21st league title !Long live!!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray said with regret: "Dortmund's real test has come. There are more than 20 minutes left in the game. If they want to reverse Bayern and reach the top of the league, they must overtake the score in the remaining game time! And And also based on not conceding the ball again."

"Yan Junling's reaction is fast enough." Central 5 commentator Duan Xuan watched the slow-motion replay: "But Robben's move is too difficult to guard against. The whole world knows that Robben is going to cut inside, but you can't touch it at all. , Dortmund is in big trouble."

At the same time, Bayern players swarmed towards the goal hero Robben, celebrating the goal excitedly.

In stark contrast, the Dortmund players looked very confused, as if the local media in Munich kept mentioning before the game-the record has never been broken.

Then, Dortmund's ten-game winning streak and twelve unbeaten games against Bayern Munich is also time to be reduced to the dust of history...

Captain Tang Zheng also had this thought in his brain when the atmosphere at the scene was in a slump, but his mind was quickly attracted by a paragraph.

In the summer of 2009, the farewell words of his teacher Simeone that will last a lifetime: "Never think about giving up! To face up to difficulties, as long as you persist, grit your teeth and persevere desperately, you will surely succeed!"

But this time he did not influence his teammates through inflammatory tone and body movements, because he knew that the same method is not suitable for multiple use, especially in one game.

So Tang Zheng decided to use practical actions to mobilize his teammates, mobilize the entire team.

The captain should be the spiritual leader.

Tang Zheng walked towards the goal, pulled Yan Junling up, but did not speak, but bent down and fished out the football from the net, held it in his arms, walked slowly towards the center of the field, and put the ball down.

The Dortmund players on the field, members of the coaching staff and substitute players on the sidelines, and the fans of the home team in the stands all subconsciously looked at Tang Zheng.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but they seemed to see a more powerful soul under the tall body.
