Chapter 140: Dancers at the Dragon Stadium

No one thought that Dortmund would organize an effective attack at the beginning. You must know that most of the commentators at this time are still habitually reporting the starting lineups of both sides...

The ball was handed over to goalkeeper Helton by centre-half Otamendi, who was chased back, and Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif lamented: "Jakub Blaszczykowski and Don's pass was very good. There is a tacit understanding, but he did not adjust his physical condition at the beginning of the game, if he can successfully stop the football just now, it is definitely a great opportunity!"

The crotch-pierced Falcao looked back at Tang Zheng and smiled helplessly.

But there was more helplessness in that smile.

Tang Zheng is even stronger than when he was in the riverbed!

The goalkeeper Helton who got the football did not drive the ball to the forward field immediately, but roared loudly at the back line, signaling them to pay attention.

Because of the limited height of Hulk and Falcao, it is difficult to grab a header in front of Tang Zheng, Hummels and Subotic, who are over 1.9 meters tall. Pushing forward layer by layer is Porto's home game Strategy.

Tang Zheng didn't pay too much attention to Falcao, he immediately called his teammates to press forward, and played the ball in the midfield to press Porto's midfield, preventing them from comfortably organizing the attack.

As soon as Moutinho received the football, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Kuba, who was still sighing up to the sky, rushed over, and quickly chose to hand the ball to Guarin.

Kuba didn't stop in place, he followed Moutinho's advance and recovered.

Guarin was pressed by Gotze and he had to pass the ball to Fernando.

It’s true that Fernand is a Brazilian, but his shining position is a defensive midfielder, and he is more often responsible for protecting the football. His ability to control the ball at his feet is not strong, so I noticed that Gross Kreutz rushed over Time to pass the ball back to defender Otamendi.

At the same time, Dortmund's midfield continued to press high under Tang Zheng's call, forcing the goalkeeper Helton who finally got the ball to make a clearance.

"Dortmund really dare to play in the away game!" Marcel Leif shouted: "They adopted the familiar high pressure in the first defense at the beginning of the game! Porto is going to be in trouble!!"

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang looked at the broadcast camera and said: "Porto was oppressed by Dortmund's high position and had to choose a big foot to clear the siege. Hummels forced Hulk to head the ball to Sven Bender!"

Sven Bender didn't stick the ball,

It was handed over to Tang Zheng who opened up the space to catch the ball at the first time.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The Porto fans in the stands booed loudly, hoping to help the team through their own efforts.

But Tang Zheng, who received the football, was not in a hurry to play the ball, but signaled his teammates to slow down and control the rhythm.

Regarding Tang Zheng's choice, Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, still agreed with it.

Although the team should be cautious in the away game, Tang Zheng's approach is also a good attempt. He can steadily control the rhythm of the game under his own feet, maybe he will take the lead in a certain period of time?

In the two rounds of home and away games, away goals are particularly important.

If the deadlock is broken first in the away game, Porto at home will be in a panic, and the team can fish in troubled waters...

Thinking of this, Klopp looked forward to Tang Zheng's performance in this game.

"Keep hitting the ground, don't blindly pilling!"

In the past five minutes of the first round of the Europa League 1/16 final in the 2010-2011 season, Porto coach Villas-Boas loudly reminded the players on the field to execute tactics.

The players on the field are suffering. Dortmund's high pressure forced them to choose a big foot to clear the siege. Otherwise, once Dortmund's high pressure steals the ball, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The pressure of first home and then away is reflected here. If the home team concedes the first goal, it basically means that the next game will be under greater pressure.

It was Dortmund's turn to switch from defense to offense again, and the football soon came to Tang Zheng's feet.

According to Boas's relevant deployment before the game, Moutinho, who has a certain defensive ability, put pressure forward.

Of course, he didn't steal the ball forward like a gamble, but kept a safe distance from Tang Zheng and blocked his passing route.

But will Dortmund's core be so easily restricted?

Obviously not.

Tang Zheng passed the ball directly to the right defender Piszczek with his right foot, and then ran forward.

Uruguayan winger Christian Rodriguez charged at Piszczek, who passed the ball straight to his recovered national team-mate Kuba without looking up.

Pereira followed Kuba closely, preventing him from turning around.

But Kuba didn't intend to take the ball and turn around, he used the arch of his right foot to throw the ball to Tang Zheng who came to the right rib.

Since the pass is a one-foot pass, Kuba's foot skills are limited, and his control of the football is not particularly in place, and the position of the ball is a bit forward.

Just when Tang Zheng was about to speed up to catch the ball, he saw Fernando shovel while running.

In order to prevent injury, Tang Zheng quickly jumped up, and the football was kicked out of Dortmund's offensive right sideline by Fernando.

After landing on the ground, Tang Zheng couldn't help but look back at the Brazilian Fernando, who was not astonishing.

He suddenly remembered that Klopp focused on the Brazilian waist before the game!

Strong body, outstanding interception and marking ability, wide running coverage area, fast recovery speed!

really!

Judging from the defensive tackle that went out of the sideline just now, Fernando's defensive coverage is very large, and his choice is very decisive. He is the kind of defensive midfielder with a strong defensive awareness.

Tang Zheng stuck in his position and asked for the ball, Piszczek threw the ball from the sideline with both hands without any hesitation.

I saw Fernando, who was stuck behind Tang Zheng, pushed forward. Tang Zheng, who had just stopped the football with his chest, had no way to adjust his center of gravity, and fell forward to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle to indicate that Fernando made a foul, but he didn't intend to give a card.

Fernando shrugged his shoulders innocently and said that he didn't foul, but that Tang Zheng was too weak and fell down when hit.

Boas standing on the sidelines first complained about the referee's penalty, and then gave Fernand a thumbs up.

Obviously, this is Boas' response to Dortmund's high pressure.

Tang Zheng was the source of Dortmund's offense, so he used Fernando's excellent defensive awareness to help defend the middle and limit Tang Zheng.

Sitting on the grass, Tang Zheng looked at the Brazilian Fernando who was walking back and smiled.

A defensive midfielder who is too aggressive is not good sometimes...

Dortmund's defense is not only reflected in the high pressure, but also the low defense is also excellent, so Moutinho, who received the football in the offensive 30-meter area, has no room to pass the ball forward.

As a last resort, he chose to dunk the ball back.

But Tang Zheng had already figured it out, he made an emergency stop ahead of time to complete his turn to the right, and his long left leg nimbly stepped forward, cutting off the connection between football and Moutinho.

But then the problem arises.

As soon as Tang Zheng broke the football, Fernando, who was in charge of attacking and protecting the football, rushed up, aggressively, with an attitude of success or failure.

At this moment, Tang Zheng, who had some headaches, suddenly had a flash of light.

He took a step forward with his just raised right foot, stepped on the football that continued to roll forward, and pulled it back.

Fernando who rushed over his head quickly came to a sudden brake, and at the same time stretched out his left foot trying to reach the ball.

Moutinho, who was cut off by Tang Zheng, saw the football reappearing in front of his eyes, and subconsciously stretched his right foot to kick it.

At the same time, Tang Zheng completed a 180-degree turn, his left foot took over the work of his right foot, and the sole of his foot yanked the ball backwards horizontally.

In the blink of an eye, neither Fernando nor Moutinho touched football.

"Aww-"

Seeing this, a subconscious exclamation erupted in the sky above the Dragon Stadium.

"Beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang, the sports commentator of New Wolves, shouted: "Tang Zheng's gyration was surprised at the Dragon Stadium!"

"Don! Fantastic brilliance! Marseille roundabout!" Marcel Leif suddenly raised his voice: "This is a chance for Dortmund to counterattack quickly!"

On the court, Fernando knew that once Tang Zheng made a breakthrough, it would definitely be a huge blow to the team's defense, so he consciously raised his outstretched left foot.

The purpose was to kick Tang Zheng down!

Tang Zheng reacted quickly, trying to bypass Fernando's raised left foot, but he was still half a beat too late, he was kicked to the top of his foot, and his center of gravity was affected.

The referee's whistle was already in his mouth, waiting for Tang Zheng to fall to the ground.

But Tang Zheng didn't fall to the ground, his strong arms supported his body so he didn't fall down completely.

He threw the ball awkwardly to Sven Bender.

The offensive team has the ball, the referee signals that the attack is favorable, and the game continues!

Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground, reacted quickly, supporting the grass, just like starting on the spot at the beginning of a 100-meter race.

Sven Bender sent the ball to Tang Zheng's forward route, and he was in charge of organizing this wave of quick counterattacks.

Except for Gotze deliberately running out of space to meet Tang Zheng, Kuba, Gross Kreutz and Barrios moved forward according to the pre-match arrangement with a very layered sense.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng who was holding the ball became the focus, and all Porto players focused on him.

Gualin, who had been very disdainful of Tang Zheng before, did not dare to attack. He was wary of Tang Zheng passing the ball to Gotze while fighting and retreating.

Tang Zheng, who was running, made a fake move to pass the ball to Gotze, and the body center of gravity of Gualin, who was like a frightened bird, was obviously tilted to the left.

Tang Zheng raised his right foot and kicked the ball to the left, breaking through!

This time Gualin didn't go with Tang Zheng, but with Ge Ce.

Because Fernand, who was swayed by Tang Zheng, was chasing back at high speed!

He has confidence in his club mates!

But……

The advances of Barrios, Cuba and Gross Kreutz took away Porto's entire defense line, and Fernando was out of position, which meant that Porto's midfield and back line had a large vacuum.

Tang Zheng didn't have any worries after passing Gualin with the fake fax, he chose to stride forward the ball.

At this time, Fernando found that the high-speed pursuit he had always been proud of had no effect at all, because he soon realized that Tang Zheng was getting farther and farther away from him...
