Midfielder Ruler

Ten minutes have passed since the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals between Dortmund and Real Madrid at home. The score is still 0:0. If the game ends according to the current score, the visiting Real Madrid will advance to this season with a total score of 2:1. Champions League semi-finals.

But the game was only ten minutes old, and there were still eighty minutes of regular time. There were too many variables, and Real Madrid was not currently the strongest lineup. Without Cristiano Ronaldo, they lacked offensive firepower.

Judging from the first ten minutes of the game, it is very obvious that all three Real Madrid shots came from Tang Zheng.

Of course, from another perspective, Tang Zheng is in very good condition and has a strong desire to perform.

However, in the eyes of experts, it is true that Tang Zheng is in good condition, but the problem lies more in the poor condition of Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt offensive players.

Dortmund can be said to have blossomed in many ways. The 19-year-old Chinese youngster Lu Liang, who posed a huge threat to Real Madrid's defense at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first round, was also in excellent form in this game. His breakthroughs with the ball and passes can cause the sky above the Westfalenstadion. A huge shout broke out.

Reus, who played on the right, was in equally good form, so Real Madrid left back Coentrao did not dare to assist. Only Gotze, who played in the center and played as an attacking midfielder, was a little quieter.

Klopp naturally sees Gotze's slump, but he is not worried because Gotze's slump is related to the outstanding performance of Lu Liang and Reus. He believes that as time goes by, Gotze will perform better and better. outstanding.

as expected!

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Gotze received a diagonal pass from Gundogan in the middle and dunked the ball to the left with his right foot. Tang Zheng's right foot was trying to steal the ball, and then he took the ball with the outside of his right foot. Passing to the left rib of the penalty area, Lu Liang very cleverly inserted into the space between Pepe and Carvajal.

"——Lu Liang!!"

Following a shout from Central 5 commentator He Wei, Lu Liang met the ball and faced the attacking goalkeeper Casillas directly.

All of a sudden, a huge shout sounded over the Westfalenstadion: "Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

I don’t know if the passionate chants of the fans affected Lu Liang’s normal performance. His right-footed push shot against Casillas in a one-on-one encounter even missed the outside edge of the right post of the goal and went out of the baseline.

"Oh oh oh——"

The huge shouts above the Westfalenstadion were instantly replaced by sounds of regret, and many fans even held their heads in their hands, feeling incredible.

If Lu Liang can help Dortmund score at the beginning of the game,

Then the total score will become 2:2. If the whole game ends with Dortmund 1:0 Real Madrid, then Dortmund will qualify with the advantage of more away goals.

Lu Liang, who missed the follow-up ball, put his head in his hands and opened his mouth half-open, looking very regretful.

Before the game, head coach Klopp emphasized that the team's ideal victory is 1:0.

Central 5 commentator He Wei lamented: "What a pity! Lu Liang's single-handed ball hit the post and rolled out of the bottom line. Real Madrid escaped!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif covered his mouth and expressed his admiration: "What a pity! The cooperation between Lu and Mario is very exquisite, and the passing and running are consistent. If a goal is scored, the rest of the game will be difficult for Dortmund." It will be very easy..."

At the same time, Ancelotti, who was in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, took two steps forward, stretched his upper body over the sideline, and made a clear tactical signal gesture towards Xabi Alonso.

Immediately, the broadcast screen showed Xavi Alonso, who pulled Tang Zheng and said a few words before Casillas took the goal kick.

※※※

Casillas did not take a short goal kick because the four Dortmund offensive quartets of Luliang, Lewandowski, Royce and Gotze were very close to the Real Madrid defense. In order to avoid mistakes, Casillas Sri Lanka chose a big goal kick.

In the frontcourt, Tang Zheng and Benzema both have strong header ability, especially Tang Zheng, so Casillas' goal kick flew towards Tang Zheng.

Near the arc of the center circle, Tang Zheng showed his super high-altitude advantage. He overpowered Kyle and Hummels and headed the ball to Isco on the left side of his body.

However, the Dortmund defensive players were very concerned about Tang Zheng's area of ​​activity. During the defensive phase, Kyle stayed close to Tang Zheng, and Gundogan interfered with Tang Zheng's path, so the ball was passed by a Dortmund player within a few passes. Cut off.

Real Madrid's offense turned to defense. Tang Zheng did not immediately retreat to half-court like in previous games, but ran towards Gundogan.

Previously, Ancelotti told Tang Zheng through Xabi Alonso how to complete the defense more efficiently when switching from offense to defense. Gundogan is the hub of Dortmund's offense and defense, and many times the transition from defense to offense must pass through his feet.

as expected!

Kyle cut off the football and handed the ball to Gotze, who then handed the ball to Gundogan without stopping.

Tang Zheng pushed hard with his left foot and stretched his right foot forward. Gundogan subconsciously pulled the ball backwards, but Tang Zheng was accustomed to his ball protection and poked the ball away with his toes in advance.

Benzema leaned against Subotic and dunked the ball to the left with the arch of his right foot, passing it towards Tang Zheng's running route.

However, the referee Clattenberg's whistle sounded immediately, and boos at the Westfalenstadion instantly swept the audience because Clattenberg signaled Gundoran for a foul.

I don’t know if Clattenburg was affected by the excitement of the home fans. He did not show Gundogan a yellow card for the obvious tactical foul intention, but gave him a verbal warning.

Seeing this, Klopp let out a sigh of relief.

Gundogan's position is very critical, and receiving a yellow card prematurely will have an immeasurable impact on the next game.

Ancelotti was helpless with referee Clattenburg's decision, but in many cases the home field factor is part of what the referee must consider.

What is home field advantage?

This is home field advantage!

The on-site director appeared very professional and restored the tactical gesture exchange between Ancelotti and Xavi Alonso before Real Madrid took the set kick in the frontcourt.

Central 5 commentator He Wei suddenly understood, but he was not sure: "Is Real Madrid preparing to retaliate with others? To carry out high pressure at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium?"

Facts have proved that He Wei's guess was not wrong, Real Madrid decided to do something in the away game.

Although a 0:0 away draw with Dortmund can advance to the Champions League semi-finals, after Lu Liang failed to score a single goal, Ancelotti woke up from a dream. If he wants to get a chance to advance in the away game, he must score away goals, otherwise Everything will be empty talk.

Especially now that Cristiano Ronaldo is missing, they have to rely more on Tang Zheng for offense.

After all, the data is there, and Tang Zheng was the top scorer in the Champions League last season.

Therefore, we must score as many goals as possible in away games and tie Dortmund's away goals. The prerequisite for scoring away goals is to increase the aggression in the frontcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo happened to be injured and was sitting on the bench on standby. Now, in addition to Tang Zheng, Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt offensive players, Benzema, Isco and Di Maria all have high defensive enthusiasm, so they visited Westphalia Lun You can try high pressure.

From an effect point of view, it's pretty good.

Not long after, Dortmund switched from defense to offense and once again encountered Real Madrid's high pressure.

After receiving the ball, Gotze wanted to play the ball quickly, but Isco and Tang Zheng closed in too fast. Gotze tried to pass the ball but failed, and the ball was intercepted by Modric, who was in a good position.

Real Madrid had a reputation for efficient counterattacks when Mourinho was coaching, and Italian head coach Carlo Ancelotti was also good at quick counterattacks, so Real Madrid counterattacked quickly after high pressure.

However, Yan Junling, who became Dortmund's starting goalkeeper this season, performed like a miracle. Facing Benzema's semi-single ball, he subconsciously blocked the ball sideways and blocked the ball from the baseline.

"Yan Junling is in great condition!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted.

At the same time, Klopp also realized that Real Madrid had ideas in the away game, so he quickly pulled Lu Liang, who was about to return to the penalty area to assist in defense, to explain some things.

Modric took a corner kick, although Tang Zheng grabbed the spot, but Tang Zheng was interfered by Lewandowski and Hummels and failed to adjust his sights properly, so his header did not pose a threat.

The game continued, and Real Madrid still followed coach Carlo Ancelotti's tactical adjustments to strengthen high-position pressure.

However, compared with the ultra-high success rate of the first two high-position presses, Waterloo was encountered next.

The Dortmund players on the field are not weak in their footwork skills, and their continuous passes are very strong. Therefore, the continuous pressure from Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt not only failed to grab the ball, but almost caused Lewandowski to use a quick counterattack. The opportunity goes straight to Huanglong.

After continuous pressure but unable to grab the ball, Ancelotti walked to the sidelines and made a tactical gesture to slow down Tang Zheng.

※※※

In fact, Ancelotti gave up high pressure not because of Dortmund's skillful passing, but because of the team's overall physical consumption.

The Champions League knockout rounds are included in the crucial quarter-final second legs, which basically means that the domestic league has entered the end. At the same time, Real Madrid will have a 2013-2014 King's Cup final at the Mestalla Stadium next week.

The opponent is Barcelona and cannot be underestimated.

If you want to remain competitive on the three lines, you must choose to advance insurance at all levels.

The game is still ahead on aggregate, and as time goes by, it is Dortmund who should be worried rather than themselves.

Real Madrid gave up high-position pressure, Dortmund's transition from defense to offense was significantly accelerated, and the passing efficiency and ball possession rate were also significantly improved.

The momentum created by the Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion became increasingly louder and louder, turning into a roaring tsunami...

Tang Zheng's defensive pressure began to increase during this period of tactical changes. Xavi Alonso has a balance of offense and defense and rich game experience. However, after all, he is too old and Modric is thin and it is difficult to form a continuous attack against Dortmund. Therefore, Tang Zheng, who has stronger defensive ability, had to retreat to assist in defense.

Lewandowski has comprehensive abilities, not only has strong scoring ability, but also has outstanding containment and ball-making abilities. Royce and Luliang are extremely fast and have strong breakthrough and passing scoring abilities. Gotze has ball control and organization. , passing the ball have their own uniqueness.

As the game time entered thirty minutes, Dortmund's offense became more and more threatening.

In the 33rd minute, Hummels received Modric's hurried clearance near the center circle. He did not pass it to the wing, but directly passed the ball long.

Pepe showed a hint of fatigue in the continuous high-pressure defense. He made a mistake in clearing the ball under Lewandowski's heavy pressure.

Ramos was already running towards the second landing point of the football at the first time, but his speed was obviously half a beat slower than Lu Liang. Lu Liang took the lead and pushed the ball forward, and his kick was half a beat slower. Ramos couldn't even get a foul in time, he only kicked a ball of air.

Lu Liang once again got the ball and faced goalkeeper Casillas, and had more time to observe than the last time he scored a single goal.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Casillas, Lu Liang raised his right foot exaggeratedly. Casillas noticed Lu Liang's shooting footwork and subconsciously rushed to the right side of his body to block the far corner, but Lu Liang closed his foot. There was a subtle change in an instant, and he tiptoed upward slightly.

Casillas, who made the save, was powerless. All he could do was look at Hugo's body as the ball slowly jumped up while his center of gravity dropped, and then flew into the unguarded goal...

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif subconsciously lengthened his voice.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was particularly neutral at this time. When the football hit the net, he shouted wildly and hoarsely: "Beautiful! Lu Liang used a very exquisite shot to break Casillas' guarded goal! Dortmund Leading Real Madrid 1:0!"

The close-up shot of the on-site director was given to Lu Liang who scored the goal. He looked very green in the broadcast, and then he was pushed to the ground by Lewandowski. Dortmund players such as Reus, Gotze and others jumped on top of him very excitedly. Celebrating the first goal at home!

If the game ends according to the current score, the team that advances to the semifinals of this season's Champions League will be Dortmund!

The Dortmund fans in the stands were as excited as children, and their deafening cheers echoed throughout the sky!

Head coach Klopp habitually jumps three feet high and then performs a combination of punches with both hands.

The Real Madrid players in the background looked very helpless, especially Pepe who missed a header. He had his hands on his hips and pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Captain Casillas frowned. He did not blame Pepe for the mistake, but kept shaking his head.

Tang Zheng's mood didn't fluctuate much. In his opinion, every game would result in a goal, but unfortunately this time it was his opponent who scored.

There was still enough game time, and it was not necessarily a bad thing that Dortmund scored first.

Now that the balance of the game is disrupted, the rest of the game will become straightforward and scoring goals will be even easier!

At this moment, Tang Zheng noticed from the corner of his eye that head coach Ancelotti was waving to him, so he put aside his thoughts and jogged to the sidelines to listen to Ancelotti's latest tactical adjustments.

The on-site director had a keen insight into something, and the broadcast screen instantly changed from a replay of the entire goal process to what Ancelotti was talking to Tang Zheng.

Central 5 commentator He Wei changed his voice: "The balance of the game has been broken, Real Madrid has no choice! The team that will advance to the Champions League semi-finals according to the current score will be Dortmund! As the best player in the Champions League last season, I I think Tang Zheng should release his fangs!"
