Midfielder Ruler

Fans who often watch the Bundesliga know that Lu Liang has been in excellent form recently, but they did not expect that his form could continue well into the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Carvajal is already known for his speed, but Lu Liang accelerated his breakthrough. If Ramos hadn't been alert and blocked the position first, Lewandowski, the Polish striker who has exploded this season, would have helped Dortmund open the scoring. .

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif exclaimed: "Lü's performance amazed us! He is young, skilled and fast. If his condition can continue well, Dortmund, who I want to be a guest at, will definitely do a lot! Advance to the Champions League Final Four? Why not?"

Gotze took a corner kick on the left side of the attack. Hummels headed the ball high due to interference from Tang Zheng, giving Real Madrid a goal kick.

Goalkeeper Casillas did not take the big goal kick and passed a short pass to Marcelo on the left.

Faced with Royce's sudden acceleration of high pressure, Marcelo did not show too much panic and pushed the arch of his left foot to the receiving Xabi Alonso.

But I regretted it as soon as the pass was passed, because Lu Liang, who had just replaced Lu Liang, suddenly gave up his right wing and suddenly ran to the middle, and accelerated towards Xabi Alonso.

Judging from his speed, it seems very possible to steal the ball before Xabi Alonso receives the ball.

So Marcelo subconsciously shouted: "Xavi, watch your back!"

In fact, Xabi Alonso, who has rich experience in the game, has long sensed that an opponent player is approaching at high speed from behind, and his body has moved to the left in advance, but he forgot that he is already 33 years old this year, and his movements are a little full. Slow shot.

Lu Liang stretched his right leg while running at high speed and pushed the ball forward slightly with his toes.

Xavi Alonso was startled and subconsciously used his left leg to trip Lu Liang.

People are tripped and staggered and lose control of the football, but the trajectory of the football is that the Dortmund players...

"-Robert Lewandowski!!"

shouted German Sky commentator Marcel Leif.

Lewandowski has improved very quickly in the past two seasons, especially when Tang Zheng was here, his goal numbers increased diagonally, which is amazing!

The period from defense to offense to offense to defense is the most likely time to lose the ball. Therefore, at this time, the ball control team just starts to organize the offense, and the center of gravity of the body is forward, while when switching from offense to defense, the center of gravity is backward. In other words, from offense to defense, the center of gravity is forward. Switching to defense takes time to fill the defensive gaps.

Dortmund is very skilled in quick counterattack tactics after high pressure. They know best that speed should be the main focus at this time.

Because of his position, Tang Zheng was far away from the defense line, so he could only pin his hopes on the defensive players.

Lewandowski has a strong body. He makes reasonable use of the extension of his upper body to block Pepe behind him while running, maintaining control of the football. Then he sees Royce's acceleration and makes a pass to give Royce a full sprint. Timed diagonal pass.

Lu Liang, who was tripped by Xavi Alonso but did not fall completely, adjusted his center of gravity while running and immediately participated in the team's transition from defense to offense.

Royce was dubbed the 'Little Rocket' at the beginning of his career. From this, we can judge that his speed is very amazing.

Marcelo was left behind, and Pepe had to defend to the left. The heavy responsibility of defending Lewandowski was then handed over to Ramos.

Royce, who was running at high speed, did not wait for Pepe to approach. He directly passed the ball to the top of the penalty area about 26 meters away from the goal.

There, there was Lu Liang who was following up at high speed.

Modric immediately got close to Lu Liang who was receiving the ball, compressing his space to handle the ball next.

However, Lu Liang did not stop the ball and then observe the movement of his teammates. Instead, he directly used the arch of his right foot to face the incoming ball and sent a diagonal pass to the right front without stopping the ball.

"Nice pass!"

Following a shout from Central 5 commentator He Wei, Lewandowski led the ball into the penalty area while running, and then suddenly swung his right foot fourteen yards from the goal.

Ramos, who was following Lewandowski, subconsciously fell to the ground and tackled, blocking Lewandowski's shot.

But Lewandowski's swung right foot did not hit the goal directly, but took the ball one step forward...

At this moment, Ramos could do nothing and goalkeeper Casillas had to abandon the goal.

However... Casillas has lost the best opportunity to attack immediately. At the same time, Lewandowski raised his right foot and completed a low shot.

The football rolled quickly against the turf towards the far corner of the goal. Although Casillas immediately fell to the ground and jumped sideways, his height restricted his arm length. The fingertips of his long right arm did not touch the football, and the football hit the left goal. The inner edge of the column bounces into the mesh...

—————————

Although the score is still Real Madrid leading Dortmund 2:1 at home, the two rounds of games gave Dortmund a valuable away goal and the fanatical atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium dropped significantly.

If the score ends at the current score, Dortmund, who will return to the Westfalenstadion in the second round, only needs 1:0 to advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League.

Of course, Real Madrid, which is a guest in the second round, will also have a chance to advance as long as it draws with Dortmund. However, it is not safe to leave the suspense until the second round, which makes Real Madrid fans feel a little unhappy.

And the game is not over yet. Who can guarantee that Dortmund, who scored an away goal, will not equalize the score in one go?

Meanwhile, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp stood in front of the visiting team's bench and performed his trademark inflammatory celebration.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "Dortmund scored a valuable goal in the away game. The pressure on them in the next game will be much less... Lu Liang, who just came on as a substitute for less than three minutes, can be said to take the greatest credit. It was he who intercepted the ball from Alonso's foot in the frontcourt, and then sent a key ecstasy kick. If...I say if, if Lu Liang is belted in the World Cup in Brazil this summer, the Chinese team's frontcourt The offensive tactics will be greatly changed, and it will also appropriately relieve Tang Zheng's offensive organization pressure in the frontcourt..."

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti shook his arm in frustration, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the defense.

Only now does he realize that Xavi Alonso is really old.

But we cannot deny the value of Xabi Alonso now. It is inevitable that problems will be exposed as he gets older, and Xavi Alonso is not without merit. His role is often not obvious, but he is very important to the team. important.

So, his eyes shifted again to Tang Zheng.

Perhaps... Tang Zheng will have more and more responsibilities in the remaining games of this season.

Dortmund scored an away goal, and they restarted the game with great momentum. Lu Liang, who performed amazingly as a substitute, was not afraid of tigers. With his extraordinary speed and solid basic skills, he continuously tested Marcelo and Kawaha on the two wings. you.

With no other choice, Ancelotti had no choice but to signal Tang Zheng to retreat further and participate more in the team's defense, leaving Isco in charge of the offensive organization.

With Tang Zheng's position retreating, Real Madrid's defensive quality has improved significantly.

It's just that the improvement in defensive quality is in exchange for a decrease in offensive quality, which somewhat makes the tricky Real Madrid fans dissatisfied.

How can we passively defend when playing at home?

Klopp, who looked depressed before Dortmund pulled a goal back, now has his arms crossed, full of confidence, and looks like he has a chance to win.

In fact, he didn't expect that the effect of replacing Lu Liang would be so good. It seems... Lu Liang should be given more opportunities to play in the future.

It's just that the increase in Luliang's playing time may reduce the playing time of Gotze, Mkhitaryan or Reus.

Headache……

Tang Zheng was very busy during the period when Lu Liang was active, because Lu Liang's activity directly liberated other offensive players. Even Gundogan played with more than enough flexibility, frequently using precise long passes to change the direction of the attack and increase the speed of the attack. .

Once Real Madrid's offense lacks the support of Tang Zheng, it can be said that the pressure on Dortmund's defense is greatly reduced.

Klopp is planning whether to strengthen his attack and strive to equalize the score at the Bernabeu.

At this moment, Real Madrid switched from defense to offense and directly tested Yan Junling's goalkeeping.

Tang Zheng rarely found time to participate in the offense on the offensive end. He posed a huge threat to Dortmund in the limited number of times he participated in the offense.

He took advantage of the connection between Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco to gain shooting space. His long-range shot, which was 35 meters away from the goal, was touched by the quick-reacting Yan Junling and flew out of the baseline.

Therefore, Klopp gave up the idea of ​​strengthening the offense and instead advanced in a relatively conservative manner.

After all, this is Real Madrid's home stadium at the Bernabeu. If an accident occurs and the score is extended to two goals, it will be difficult to return to the home court even with away goals.

As Tang Zheng's former head coach, Klopp is very aware of Tang Zheng's huge role in the team.

In view of Ancelotti's use of Tang Zheng, if Real Madrid wins by two goals at home, Real Madrid will definitely let Tang Zheng serve as a defensive midfielder in the away game. It will take a lot of effort to open a gap in the middle. .

—————————

As Dortmund's offense slowed down, their game changed from a multi-point bloom to now relying on Luliang and Reus to create opportunities on both wings, so the game gradually returned to Real Madrid's control.

Central 5 commentator He Wei expressed his opinion on Dortmund's tactical changes: "Lü Liang is in excellent form. Klopp should ask his players to give him greater support. The away draw with Real Madrid is more important than the 1:2 loss away from home." , of course... there is no problem for Dortmund as a guest to prioritize defense, but as Dortmund's offense slows down, Real Madrid will get more and more offensive opportunities."

As soon as the words fell, Real Madrid once again created an offensive opportunity that was enough to score.

Tang Zheng received a direct pass from Ramos near the center circle, dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, got out of the way of Gotze and Reus, and then passed a goal with his left foot without making any adjustments. A 40-meter diagonal pass, Isco, who was cutting in from the right, used the arch of his right foot to cushion the ball while running, and the football flew towards his side to attack the left rib.

There, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in at high speed.

Klopp, who was standing in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, was trembling in his heart, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw goalkeeper Yan Junling abandon the goal and hit the football out of the penalty area with a single punch.

"Yan Junling's attack timing was perfect!" Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted: "Yan Junling saved Dortmund!"

"What a pity!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head.

At the 73rd minute of the game, Dortmund made another substitution, with veteran captain Sebastian Kyle replacing Gotze.

This substitution signal is very obvious, that is, trying to maintain the current score in the away game.

Dortmund strengthened its defense, and Tang Zheng penetrated forward more and more, so that the front of Dortmund's goal became noisy and full of dangers.

However, due to the rapid counterattack speed of Dortmund's two wings, Ancelotti did not dare to let both wings participate in the attack at the same time. Therefore, the offense was vigorous but it was difficult to give the forward players enough volunteerism.

The scene was tense, and in a blink of an eye it was eighty minutes.

Ancelotti did not choose to remove the midfielder and add a forward, but replaced Benzema with Morata, and the stable 4-2-3 formation remained unchanged.

In fact, maintaining the double midfielder combination with Ancelotti is to give Tang Zheng more opportunities to directly participate in the offense. If one midfielder is removed, Tang Zheng's position will definitely move back, which is not a good thing for the offense.

However, there is still a gap between Morata's ability and Benzema's ability. It is difficult for him to maintain his position in high-pressure confrontation.

Cristiano Ronaldo is extremely capable personally, but he also needs the support of his teammates, otherwise it will be difficult to pose a direct threat to Dortmund's defense on his own.

Tang Zheng's positional condition brought help to Cristiano Ronaldo, but Klopp obviously did enough homework on the game before the game.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo like to connect, right?

Then cut off this passing line so that the two cannot connect normally.

In addition, Tang Zheng has someone to take care of him.

Even if the fanatical atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium was extremely high, it did not help the home team's offense.

As injury time approached, the on-site director gave Ancelotti a close-up shot.

He had a straight face, showing no unnecessary emotion.

All three substitutions were used, and whether the score could be expanded could only depend on the existing players on the field.

However, as the game time came to stoppage time, Dortmund's defensive focus was not on other places, but on Tang Zheng.

Facts have proved that Klopp's adjustments at the end of the game were very correct. Restricting Tang Zheng was equivalent to restricting the entire Real Madrid.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

As the referee Rizzoli blew the final whistle of two short games, the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals between Real Madrid and Dortmund at home came to an end, with the two sides fighting 2:1.

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

Although Real Madrid won the game at home, they were somewhat unlucky when they visited the Westfalenstadion in the second round.

Not any team can easily conquer the fanatical Westphalia Stadium!

Therefore, the Real Madrid players in the broadcast looked in a bad mood, giving the impression that they had lost the game.

Tang Zheng, who contributed a goal and an assist in this game, was named the man of the match, but he did not have any emotional fluctuations.

Defeating Dortmund 2:1 at home, the second round will be... full of suspense!
