Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 383 Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared

Tang Zheng was disturbed by Schweinsteiger's small movements, so he didn't intend to take the ball to speed up.

After all, the rolling speed of a football is much faster than the running speed of a person with the ball. The principle of the so-called quick counterattack is to make the football faster, not to make the players faster.

Although Gotze's physical fitness has declined significantly, his physical recovery is still quite ideal after a period of rest.

Facing Harvey Martinez's defense unexpectedly stopped and passed, a dodge accelerated and rushed over, leading to the center line.

Harvey Martinez originally wanted to foul, but at the critical moment, he thought that he had received a yellow card, so he just didn't kick his outstretched right foot.

This is the Westphalian Stadium, maybe the referee Blüch will see another yellow card for the sake of the home fans.

Besides, FIFA's repeated orders to protect offensive football must give a yellow card warning for tactical fouls.

"Aww-"

At the same time, huge cheers suddenly sounded over the Westfalen Stadium, and quickly spread from several stands to the entire stadium.

If you observe carefully, this is not caused by the home fans' acceleration of Gotze's dribbling, but because of Tang Zheng's sudden acceleration, Schweinsteiger, who was clutching his jersey, fell to the ground and made a mocking sound.

Dortmund's offense continued, and Harvey Martinez didn't dare to foul, but it doesn't mean there were no small moves. He had a hidden small move behind him.

This action will not make Gotze lose his center of gravity, but it can slow down his acceleration.

Soon, Javi Martinez caught up to Gotze and used his strong body to force Gotze to slow down.

Just as Gotze was guarding the football and waiting for the position to attack, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Hey~Mario."

Harvey Martinez has a wide field of vision, he has a certain offensive ability but also has a strong defensive awareness, so when he heard Tang Zheng's voice, he didn't care about the yellow card on his back, and pressed his whole body against Gotze.

Under normal circumstances, after the offensive team counterattacks and actively slows down, the referee will sound the whistle and deal with the foul as appropriate.

The idea is indeed good, the problem is that Gotze's foot speed is faster than Xavi Martinez's foul action.

In addition, when Gotze killed in the middle, in order to ensure the control of the football, he used his body to separate Harvey Martinez,

At the moment of physical contact between the two, use the sole of the right foot to pull the ball back hard.

Referee Blüch saw Javi Martinez pinch Gotze with his right elbow.

Because the football rolled towards Tang Zheng, he didn't blow the whistle, but raised his arms forward flatly, indicating that the attack is favorable, and the game continued.

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—"

As the football rolled towards Tang Zheng, louder cheers erupted from the Westfalenstadion, and the frenzied atmosphere on the scene exploded like never before.

Tang Zheng's goal helped the team equalize the score, and now they counterattacked with the ball. The fans of the home team were all looking forward to the 'Bayern Nemesis' turning the tide and overtaking the score.

Tang Zheng accelerated towards the football, while his right shoulder sank, and the instep of his right foot swung the ball to the right. Harvey Martinez thought that Tang Zheng was going to accelerate through the midfield from his right rib, so he didn't stop. Instead, they ran towards Tang Zheng's acceleration direction according to the original pace.

It took less than half a second for Javi Martinez to realize he had been duped.

Tang Zheng's right shoulder sank and the instep of his right foot made a gesture to flick the ball, but it was just a feint. The real killing move was behind him. His right foot quickly slid across the football, and the inside of the instep of his right foot slammed the ball to the left. Accelerating from the opposite direction of Javi Martinez.

Harvey Martinez is tall and has long legs, and his body has a large turning radius. Tang Zheng has already passed the center line by the time he completes his turn.

At this moment, Lewandowski's running position changed significantly. He originally ran to attack the left rib, made a small turn to the right, and ran to the middle again, that is, the double central defenders Van Buyten and Boah The middle position between Teng.

Lewandowski moved very cleverly, he ran between the two central defenders, so that Boateng and Van Buyten did not dare to move forward to defend Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng was famous for his broad vision and precise passing. They were worried that one of them going forward would cause a loophole in the defense.

Seeing Tang Zheng dribbling forward with the ball and no one pressing, Bayern head coach Heynckes felt tremendous pressure.

If Dortmund scores another goal in one go, then the game will really have no suspense.

"Foul!!"

Heynckes was loud, but the Westfalenstadion erupted so loudly that the players couldn't hear him at all.

But the fourth official heard it. He looked at Heynckes with a colorful expression.

※※※

Matters on the pitch should be left to the players on the pitch. When Tang Zheng dribbled the ball to the 40-meter offensive area, left back Lahm retracted and right center back Boateng pulled out. His intention of stepping forward was to put pressure on Tang Zheng. , Waiting for Javi Martinez to assist the defense by the way.

The idea is good, the problem is that things don't develop according to his idea.

Tang Zheng noticed that Harvey Martinez chased back with all his strength, and at the same time made the most accurate choice based on Boateng's forward move.

Stop on the spot!

Harvey Martinez had to brake on the spot following Tang Zheng's sudden stop, but he was tall, long and had a large radius, so he was a beat slower than Tang Zheng's premeditated sudden stop. , Tang Zheng has already passed the ball to the right side of the attack.

"Marco Royce!!"

Marcel Leif, the commentator of Sky TV in Germany, shouted suddenly.

At the same time, Tang Zheng started to run to the middle, and Lewandowski's running position changed again, running from the middle to the far end, that is, the left, to make room for Tang Zheng's advance.

Royce moved forward to meet the ball, and Ram, who had just retracted, had to pull it out again.

Considering Royce's fast speed, Ram did not compete with Royce's speed. His position selection was very smart, and he stood on Royce's inside cut route.

As an experienced professional player, he knows that giving up the outside line is more conducive to his defense than giving up the inside line.

In fact, under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with defending like this, but Tang Zheng and Lewandowski, who are in charge of outflanking, are in really good form this season. The former ranks first in the Champions League and second in the Bundesliga. The top scorer in the Bundesliga.

If Royce's pass can accurately find Tang Zheng or Lewandowski, then this attack will be almost inseparable.

Even though Boateng and Van Buyten are both over 1.9 meters tall, their ability to compete for headers is not as good as Tang Zheng and Lewandowski.

Boateng is young and Van Buyten is old.

Besides, the offensive side already has an advantage. The offensive side strictly moves according to the pre-match deployment, and the defensive players can only choose positions and predict according to their personal feelings.

Standing in the command area of ​​the home team's coach, Klopp is excited and looking forward to the team's quick counterattack.

Two minutes ago, the team equalized the score.

After two minutes, can the score be overtaken?

The same goes for the Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion, anticipation accompanied by a tinge of nervousness.

Harvey Martinez returned to the defense in a timely manner, but his speed was too slow, he couldn't keep up with Tang Zheng's acceleration at all.

Boateng was originally going forward to defend Tang Zheng, so he chose to turn around and keep up with Tang Zheng when Tang Zheng advanced. Another central defender, Van Buyten, continued to defend Lewandowski and ran to the far corner.

Running at high speed, Royce looked up at the positions of his supporting teammates Tang Zheng and Lewandowski.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng made a gesture towards him, a gesture that was only understood by each other.

So Royce has a bottom line in his heart and knows how to pass the next pass.

Ram has a lot of experience in the game. He knows what Royce's head up just now means, so he no longer gives Royce space, but chooses to get close.

How could Royce not know the meaning of Ram's approach?

Of course he knows!

Royce didn't give Lahm too much time. He moved the ball forward while running, quickly adjusted his small steps, and then swung his right foot while running.

Ram was very anxious, but the speed gap was not in a hurry to catch up. When he saw Royce adjusting his small steps, he gritted his teeth and accelerated his feet on the ground.

When the left foot takes the last step, stare hard at the ground, and stretch the right foot forward. The whole body tries to use the force fed back from the ground to shorten the distance between each other and expand the defensive area.

Still, Rahm's outstretched right leg failed to intercept Royce's cross.

The football almost brushed the toe of Lahm's right shoe and flew towards the penalty area. Everyone's focus was on the penalty area as the football flew.

Goalkeeper Neuer glanced at the pass and gave up decisively.

Royce's cross is extremely fast, and it is a curve ball from outside to inside, and the flying height of the football is not high. It is a very high-quality cross.

In the instinct of the goalkeeper, Neuer turned his head to look at the middle of the penalty area, which is where the football landed.

Seeing this, almost scared his soul out.

※※※

"Royce crossed!"

Central 5 commentator Duan Xuan said excitedly.

The on-site director quickly switched the camera, and the fans sitting in front of the TV could see the five players in Bayern's penalty area.

Lewandowski, Tang Zheng, Van Buyten and Boateng.

"Aww-"

All of a sudden, the huge cheers that came to mind above the Westfalenstadion rose to another level invisibly, reaching a deafening level.

The fans in the South Stand quickly turned their heads to look at the middle of the penalty area after seeing Royce's cross. They saw that Tang Zheng made a very obvious fake move during the run, using it to confuse Boateng, who had little defensive experience.

The most easily exposed problem in the defensive process is watching the ball and not the people. Boateng has followed the lesson this time, and now he only has Tang Zheng in his eyes...

Originally, there was nothing wrong with defending like this, but the problem was that Tang Zheng made a false run during his run.

He first made a gesture to run to the left, that is, to the right of Boateng, and then waited until Boateng made a move and slammed on the spot, kicked his left foot hard to the ground, and ran to the right with this huge reaction force.

Only then did Boateng realize that he should pay attention to Royce's cross...

This look almost scares Boateng's little heart.

If someone looked carefully, his expression was exactly the same as that of Neuer.

Tang Zheng was judging where the football landed while running, Royce's pass was somewhat different from what he imagined, the distance between the person and the football was far away.

Of course, Tang Zheng didn't blame Royce for his poor passing. After all, Lahm is one of the best full-backs in the world. It is already very good to be able to complete a high-quality cross under Lahm's defense.

Still expecting to spread to the top of your head?

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng made the most correct choice.

In the broadcast footage, he kicked his feet toward the ground near the right of the penalty spot, and at the same time his upper body leaned forward, and the whole person was swooped forward by the reaction force of the ground.

"Bend down and dive to the top!!"

The voice of Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, instantly rose an octave, and the whole person even stood up from his seat suddenly because of excitement.

German sky commentator Marcel Leif reacted in much the same way, chanting: "Don—"

Tang Zheng's judgment on the landing point was very unnatural, even if it was a temporary judgment this time, the top of his forehead was slightly up two centimeters from the middle of the football.

At the same time, Dortmund fans throughout the stadium raised their arms high, as if welcoming a goal.

As a German goalkeeper, Neuer was repeatedly humiliated by Tang Zheng, and he was very upset. This time, his subconscious reaction was quite quick, and he quickly pressed his body to the right, stretched his right arm, and moved his palm towards the football.

At this time, Neuer's mood is very good.

If the situation permits, he hopes to stand up quickly, raise his arms and shout.

"Manuel Neuer!" German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti suddenly raised his voice: "He saved Bayern Munich!"

But as soon as the words fell, the voice froze.

It's true that Neuer subconsciously jumped at the football, but Tang Zheng's leaning over dive was very powerful, and the angle was rather tricky, which means that Neuer, who subconsciously made the saving action, was not fully prepared and his hand shape did not come out.

"Didn't make it???" German sky commentator Marcel Leif's tone was low, but the next moment he was full of blood and excited: "—Robert Lewandowski!!"

A Dortmund player wearing the No. 9 jersey suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the broadcast camera, and he faced the football saved by Neuer.

Veteran Van Buyten made an unforgivable mistake at this time, he watched the football but not the people...

Tang Zheng, who had completed the difficult dive to the top, was unwilling to see Neuer save the football, but seeing Lewandowski following up at a high speed from the far end, his handsome face put on a smile again.

In sharp contrast to this is Neuer, his face is ashen.

As a striker, Lewandowski didn't stand still when he saw Tang Zheng complete the dive, but continued to run forward.

No, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Faced with a huge empty goal, how can Lewandowski, who ranks first in the Bundesliga this season, have no reason not to eat?

A flick of his right foot sent the ball into the open goal...

Neuer, who had just landed, and Van Buyten, who had made a mistake, raised their arms high and looked at the assistant referee who did not move, reminding him that Lewandowski was offside first.

The referee Blüch didn't see the assistant referee raising the flag, and immediately blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.
