Midfielder Ruler

The overall strength of the Chinese team is naturally not as good as that of the German team. It was normal to fall behind by two goals in the first half without Tang Zheng as the starter. However, with Tang Zheng coming off the bench, the German team, which did not have all the main starters, encountered great pressure, and the transition between offense and defense was far away. Not as smooth as the first half.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif frowned and said: "As the defending champion of the World Cup, the German team should show its own strength. The Chinese team is not ranked among the world's top teams. Only Tang and Lu can Create a threat, and Lu, who has participated in the Champions League final, has not yet come on as a substitute. He only performed poorly when Tang played. What if Lu comes on again?"

Close-ups of the on-site director frequently showed the German team coach Loew, which clearly means that his substitution adjustments did not have an effect, so I hope he can make adjustments again to reverse the German team's unfavorable situation.

Because it is very difficult for the German team to defend the World Cup in Russia. If it is so difficult to face the Chinese team with Tang Zheng, what about playing against other world strong teams? Will it be more passive?

Although they are unwilling to admit it, the German team is no longer as strong as it was four years ago, but it is not weak either. It can still challenge for the World Cup championship. After all, the odds offered by the world's top ten bookmakers for the German team are 1: 55, second only to Brazil's 1:5, is the favorite to win the championship.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team’s odds are ranked eleventh, 1:40, even ahead of the host Russia.

Loew appeared on the broadcast screen with the same calm face. Standing in the home team coach's command area, he had his arms folded across his chest and his brows were furrowed. Others had no idea what he was thinking.

Lippi, who will retire after leading the Chinese men's football team through this World Cup, was quite calm. He sat on the coaching bench with his legs crossed, as if the game had nothing to do with him.

Another five minutes passed, and Lippi turned to his assistant Madaloni to explain twice.

I saw Madaloni getting up and walking to the warm-up area. Lu Liang, another ace player of the Chinese team, finished his warm-up and came to the coach's bench.

The scene happened to be quite noisy, and the two sides were fighting in the midfield. The on-site director took advantage of this gap to switch the camera and showed it to the Chinese team's coaching bench.

Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, pulled Lu Liang and was talking about something, while assistant coach Li Tie held the Huawei tablet that had been prepared in his left hand. His right index finger kept sliding on the top of the screen. Lu Liang, who had his trouser pockets tied at the same time, nodded frequently.

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV gradually have new expectations for the next game. Tang Zheng's appearance has brought huge changes to the Chinese team's midfield. At the beginning of the second half, they even suppressed the German team's offense. If Lu Liang had another chance, Playing, it is very likely to score goals for the Chinese team's offense!

German team coach Loew also saw the substitution adjustments that the Chinese team was about to make. He realized that it was time for the team to make further adjustments...

In the 54th minute, the Chinese team made its second adjustment of the game. Lu Liang replaced Gao Lin, who was in poor condition.

"Ouch ouch ouch"

At the same time, there was a loud roar above the Westfalen Stadium. Dortmund fans who support the national team used this method to thank Lu Liang for his contribution to Dortmund in the past few years.

Of course, the momentum created by the fans was far less than when Tang Zheng said he was going to play.

The live director's close-up shot showed Gao Lin slowly walking off the field. The CCTV commentator shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Lippi has given Gao Lin many opportunities, but Gao Lin, who is already thirty-two years old, has declined greatly in terms of condition. Obviously, it is even possible that we cannot compete with young players Zhang Yuzhu and Ye Erfan for the center position."

Commentator Xu Yang nodded and said: "Indeed! Zhang Yuzhao performed well in Werder Bremen. His running without the ball is amazing. The 19-year-old Ye Erfan has unlimited potential. If not If something unexpected happens, Gao Lin will most likely miss the final 23-man roster of the Chinese team.

"

The fourth official did not take back the substitution electronic card, but changed another set of numbers.

The German team requests a substitution!

Goretzka replaces Gundogan.

Loew's adjustment signal is obvious. He must maintain the pressure on the Chinese team in the middle. Gundogan, who played the entire warm-up match in the last warm-up match, was not in very good condition, and he seemed to lack confidence in Tang Zheng, so he replaced Goretzka. It is hoped that it can reverse the unfavorable situation in the midfield.

However, Tang Zheng, who is getting better and better, has continued his good competitive form in the past few seasons. The double midfielder composed of Rudy and Goretzka failed to help Ozil relieve the pressure of organizing the offense in the offense. On the contrary, he was forced to Tang Zheng did not dare to move too far forward.

The overall strength of the Chinese team is indeed not as good as the German team, but Lippi's tactical arrangement is very reasonable and the defense is impregnable. On the offensive end, Lu Liang's appearance directly enhances the counterattack, which makes the pressure on the right side of the German team's defense suddenly increase.

Kimmich is inherently strong in attack but weak in attack. It is obviously unrealistic to expect him to be able to defend Lu Liang, who is in extremely hot form this season, one-on-one.

Although the Chinese team is still passively defensive most of the time, the German team's offensive organization has been greatly affected, and the Chinese team's transition from offense to defense is very fast. The mid-to-long distance connection between Tang Zheng and Lu Liang is difficult to guard against. If it weren't for Neuer, who has returned from injury, covers a large area, and the Chinese team has narrowed the score.

"Ouch ouch ouch"

The Chinese fans in the stands, led by the 'Dragon Team' fan club, let out one wave of loud cheers after another, and even suppressed the local German fans who had an absolute numerical advantage for a while.

Ozil was very successful at Real Madrid. Many media once believed that Ozil would become the new generation of Real Madrid's crown prince. As a result, Real Madrid first sold Ozil to Arsenal to show their sincerity, and then broke the world football transfer record at the time. Introducing Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng suppressed Ozil who played for Werder Bremen when he was in Dortmund. Unexpectedly, he was squeezed out by Tang Zheng when Real Madrid was playing at its peak. Therefore, Ozil has always wanted to defeat Tang Zheng and show the world Prove that he is no worse than Tang Zheng!

However... the 30-year-old Ozil was too eager to perform. Facing Tang Zheng's defensive pass, he was too weak and the ball was intercepted by a well-predicted high-precision pass.

Peterson pounced on Gao Zhunyi, who was unexpectedly calm and pushed the ball with the arch of his right foot to Tang Zheng who quickly opened the space to receive the ball.

Ozil reacted very quickly and fell to the ground to shovel.

But Tang Zheng reacted faster. The moment he turned around to meet the ball, he used the toes of his right foot to gently lift the football up, and the ball just passed Ozil who fell to the ground.

"Oh oh oh oh"

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the sky above the Westfalen Stadium.

Immediately, the overall momentum of the stadium suddenly changed, and the Dortmund fans looked at the familiar figure and subconsciously shouted loudly: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Tang Zheng had no time to pay attention to the loud cheers erupting from the stadium. His focus was entirely on the stadium.

Goretzka, one of the two defensive midfielders, was positioned further forward and rushed towards Tang Zheng without hesitation, but Tang Zheng changed his direction and passed him in advance.

Rudy didn't dare to act rashly anymore, he chose to fight but retreat.

Tang Zheng was able to advance the ball ten meters to the top of his own center circle. He looked towards the left in the direction of Lu Liang and swung his right foot. Everyone thought he was looking for Lu Liang, but when he touched the ball, he chose The ball flew in the completely opposite direction.

The football flew toward the space in the ribs between Sule and left back Hector, where Takesanshi, who was tired of defending in the first half, followed up at high speed.

Tang Zheng's pass was very covert, and he was ready to pass the ball to Lu Liang. Sun Jingbo, who was the guest center, ran at full speed between the two central defenders, Sule and Rudiger. Hector retreated quickly, but did not move to the center in time. , so Wu Sanshi was given the opportunity to penetrate the ribs.

"Tang Zheng passes the ball with the instep of his foot!"

As the camera switched, the voice of Yang 5 commentator He Wei suddenly rose an octave: "Wu Sanshi!"

Wu Sanshi, who was running at high speed, stood out from the entire German team's defense. His forward stop of the ball was relatively smooth, and he had already thought about how to deal with the ball next, but the moment he chased the ball, his pupils suddenly flashed. shrink.

Did this... come out too quickly?

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif saw Neuer's attack in time and instinctively shouted: "Manuel!"

Neuer struck out in time, but his current state is much worse than four years ago, and his explosive power has also dropped significantly. Wu Sanshi has not completely given up control of the football, and his speed has not slowed down.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Wu Sanshi is naturally faster than goalkeeper Neuer, but the football moves forward, towards Neuer's attack direction.

Neuer, who struck about 25 meters from the goal, put the tackle in advance when he was still more than two meters away from the football, using the inertia of his body and the length of his feet to tackle the football.

Wu Sanshi, who had an absolute advantage in speed, sighed helplessly in his heart, and then jumped high.

Neuer kicked the football with his right foot, but he failed to control the direction of the clearance and the football flew towards the center circle.

"What a pity! Neuer's attack was very timely!"

The screen switched. He Wei, the commentator of CC5, watched the football fly towards Tang Zheng. He subconsciously changed his voice and shouted almost crazily: "The football flew towards Tang Zheng!"

Facing the flying football, Tang Zheng didn't think much. He didn't even stop the ball. Instead, he adjusted his steps while running. He stepped on the ground with his left foot and hit the middle and lower part of the football with the instep of his right foot. Originally, The football flying towards the center circle made a U-turn and flew towards Neuer guarding the goal.

No, it should be said that it is an unguarded goal at this time...

Neuer, who had not yet fully stood up, saw the football flying toward the goal and gave up the idea of ​​getting up.

In other words, when he saw the football flying towards Tang Zheng, he had already given up.

Whether he played for Schalke 04 or Bayern in the past, he was always scored by Tang Zheng's lob.

He thought it was inevitable this time.

as expected!

The football started to fall after flying over the penalty area line, and then hit the snow-white net...

2:1

"Ouch ouch ouch"

The scoreboard at the Westfalenstadion changed, and the Dragons fans in the stands let out huge cheers. Many Dortmund fans even joined in the crazy vent. At this moment, they seemed to see the man wearing Tang Zheng in a yellow and black striped shirt.

"World wave! World wave!!" Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice was sharp, and the explosive rather than passionate voice kept bombarding the Chinese fans in front of the TV: "Tang Zheng once again contributed to the world wave against the goal guarded by Neuer! His goal helped the Chinese team reduce the score to 1:2!!"

"In the key match, we still have to watch Tang Zheng!" Commentator Xu Yang was full of enthusiasm: "His amazing state has continued. I think he will not be inferior when facing the seeded team France in the first round of the upcoming World Cup group stage!"

Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV listened to the singing of He Wei and Xu Yang and became more confident in the Chinese team's first World Cup group match.

Even if they lose to France in the end, wouldn't there still be Denmark and Peru next?

If the Chinese team shows its performance in the second half, defeating Denmark and Peru will be a sure thing!

The Chinese team pulled one back with Tang Zheng's goal, and head coach Lippi continued to make adjustments to the lineup.

The warm-up match before the start of the World Cup is not only to build confidence in the players, but also to consider the marginal players who have been shortlisted for the thirty-man roster.

Nineteen-year-old Liu Ruofan replaced Hao Junmin, and Ye Erfan replaced Wu Sanshi.

Lippi's substitution intention is very obvious. He hopes that these young people can cherish this warm-up match opportunity, show their best level, and prove that they are worthy of the final 23-man game roster.

Both Liu Ruofan and Ye Erfan have good potential, but they are slightly lacking in international competitions. If you want to bring them to the World Cup, they must perform convincingly.

This World Cup warm-up match also has training significance for the German team coach Loew. Naturally, he did not attach great importance to the outcome of the game. When Tang Zheng narrowed the score, he also made adjustments to the personnel on the field.

Tang Zheng's former teammate Reus replaced Sane, and Draxler replaced Ozil.

As both sides made extensive personnel adjustments, the scene was a bit chaotic and the enjoyment was greatly reduced.

However, the two young players of the Chinese team are impressive. Liu Ruofan and Ye Erfan, who came from the Dortmund youth training camp, gave their best performance at the familiar Westfalen Stadium and proved to all Chinese fans that they are qualified. Represent the Chinese team in the World Cup!

Tang Zheng, who helped the Chinese team score a goal, performed as well as ever. He could attack and retreat and defend. He almost single-handedly suppressed the German team's attack in the middle, so that the German team's attack had to tend to the two wings.

Loew chose to send Royce and Draxler to attack the two wings, thereby taking advantage of the Chinese team's lack of wing defense to open a gap.

With Royce and Draxler coming off the bench, Tang Zheng's defensive pressure has greatly increased, and the number of times he has invested in offense has become less and less.

Fortunately, Loew's offensive combination is not particularly tacit, and they still need time to slowly adjust.

The Chinese team was passively defensive for most of the second half, but the defensive players were solid with the tacit cooperation of Tang Zheng and Li Kui. Coupled with the wonderful performance of goalkeeper Yan Junling, the score did not change until the end of the game.

2:1

In the end, the German team defeated the Chinese team at the Westfalen Stadium at home and won a warm-up match.

Despite losing to the German team, Chinese team coach Lippi, who attended the regular post-match press conference, is still confident about the Chinese team's World Cup journey.
