Chapter 174 Will There Be Overtime?

Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Ruler of the Midfield" at any time...

Tang Zheng looked down at the captain's armband on his left arm. It was not the first time he wore the captain's armband. This season he wore it many times when captain Dede missed the start and Kyle was absent due to injury. There is a style.

It's just that his mood is a little complicated now.

In the Europa League final, playing one less player is tantamount to being ordered in danger.

"Hey, Don!"

Although the sound of the Dublin Stadium was loud, Tang Zheng still heard the head coach Klopp waving towards him from the sidelines.

He ran over without hesitation.

Benfica won a penalty. If nothing else, the goal is certain.

Because it was the veteran Aimar who took the penalty kick, a very stable shooter.

Now that there is one less player to fight, the tactics will definitely be adjusted.

really!

Klopp held Tang Zheng's right arm and said loudly: "Now we have one player less to play, and Benfica will get a penalty kick. If there is no accident, the score will be equalized. You will return to the position of the midfielder for the rest of the game. Nuri, first stabilize the defense, of course, if you have the opportunity, you can move forward and participate in the attack, but pay attention to the number of times and the range of pressure..."

On the court, Aimar was about to take a penalty kick. The players on both sides were driven out of the penalty area by the referee, and at most they could only press the line of the penalty area.

Dortmund fans at the Dublin Stadium looked enraged and booed loudly.

They hope to help Weidenfeller through their own efforts, which leads to Aimar's mistakes.

While listening to Klopp explaining the tactical changes, Tang Zheng also looked towards the far penalty area. He also hoped that Aimar would perform abnormally.

In everyone's heart, there is a mentality called - fluke.

But Aimar did not waste this rare opportunity, he took advantage of the change in rhythm to easily take the penalty, and the Benfica players celebrated the team's equalizer.

Since Dortmund played one less player, there will be a great chance to overtake the score in the remaining half an hour of the game!

Gutman curse?

To hell with tm.d!

The live broadcast was very interesting to the famous Portuguese Eusebio who was in the VIP seat,

His expression is much more natural than before, and he chats with Benfica chairman Luis Vieira from time to time, very happy.

Following the goal, Central 5 commentator He Wei talked about the reason for the loss: "In the final analysis, it was Shinji Kagawa's mistake. If it wasn't for his stoppage error, Tang Zheng wouldn't have fouled. If there is no foul, it doesn't matter." The fast free kick, so Dortmund's penalty and red card should be carried by Shinji Kagawa..."

Maybe Klopp also felt that someone had to take the blame. Two minutes later, Goetze, who came back from the line of fire and entered the squad for the game, replaced Shinji Kagawa.

This substitution made the Japanese commentator very dissatisfied: "How can Kagawa be replaced at such a critical time? Does Jurgen Klopp think that Kagawa should be responsible for conceding the ball? I think it should be replaced It's the damn Chinese, if it wasn't for his overpass and foul, how could he have a penalty?"

Although the Japanese commentator is complaining about Klopp's substitution, it cannot change the fact that the substitution has become a reality.

Goetze replaces Shinji Kagawa!

Götze's soleus strain, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Schlumberger, a physiotherapist and chief medical officer, has reached the minimum playing requirements.

His appearance also brought Klopp's latest tactics.

The frontcourt can not press high, but the midfield cannot lose!

Dortmund, who played one player less, has changed in formation. Tang Zheng made up for Kyle's vacant partner Shaheen. Gotze and Kuba recovered two ribs. At the same time, Gotze also worked as a midfielder. Standing at the forefront, maintaining the suppression of Benfica's double central defenders.

Both Kuba and Gotze are players with excellent physical fitness.

In fact, under Klopp's tactical requirements, the Dortmund players may not have anything particularly dazzling, but it has to be said that their physical fitness is very good.

As "Bild" once reported: "Dortmund players don't run 13,000 meters every game, and they can't sleep at night."

Coupled with Tang Zheng and Shaheen's active running, judging from the game situation, Dortmund does not seem to be short of people.

Therefore, the commentator of Portuguese national television was a little dissatisfied: "Jesus should increase his offensive investment. Now Dortmund has one less player, and there is not enough defensive space. It is urgent to increase troops to attack!"

Don't Jesus want to?

Do not!

He thinks more than anyone else!

It's just that Dortmund's quick counterattack made him jealous, and he always felt that Dortmund would play a wave of high-quality counterattacks.

※※※

The fanatical atmosphere above the Dublin Stadium is still there, whether it is Borussia Dortmund fans, Benfica fans, or neutral fans, they are hysterical in this atmosphere.

In a blink of an eye, the game entered 70 minutes, and Jesus decided to make the first substitution adjustment of the game.

Martins, one of the double defensive midfielders, has little effect at this time. He was replaced by forward Javier Balboa, a black and hard forward.

The direction of this substitution adjustment is clear, that is to use Balboa's excellent physical fitness to cooperate with Cardoso to overtake the score.

Klopp turned his head and glanced at the bench again. Substitute goalkeeper Langerak, first captain Dede, Owomoyela and Santana ignored it directly. Sven Bender is a defensive midfielder, and it is not very useful to replace it.

Only Gentle and Leleta of the youth team are left.

Two post-90s players are not suitable to play in this situation.

Klopp can't do it if the seedlings are encouraged.

And these players on the field are all better than the bench players, and they have a better understanding.

Unless he is injured or physically exhausted, it is impossible to play, which means that Klopp has made up his mind to let the players on the field play for 90 minutes.

During the period when Kyle was sent off, Benfica began to surpass Dortmund in shooting and possession rate slowly caught up, only slightly behind Dortmund's 53% at 47%.

As the game entered seventy-five minutes, the physical fitness of the players on both sides seemed to have reached a critical point, but Benfica, who played one more player, undoubtedly had the advantage, so Jesús suggested that the players can increase their offensive strength, and the two sides can also be played at the same time. Press up to join the attack.

Two minutes later, Aimar and Gaitan cooperated continuously at the front of Dortmund's penalty area, and then Aimar made a clever leak.

In the penalty area, Balboa took the ball and turned around, showing the unique flexibility of Africans to the fullest.

However, at this moment, he had a physical contact with Subotic and fell to the ground.

Hummels didn't care about anything, and directly made a big-foot clearance.

"Penalty!"

The Benfica fans in the stands raised their arms high, and the neat roar swept the audience, asking for penalties.

If this is the case, then Dortmund is finished!

Everyone's focus was on the referee, and time seemed to slow down at this moment.

Dortmund fans booed deafeningly, gifting the African player who had played for Real Madrid for two seasons.

The referee, who received a lot of attention, shook his head and did not blow his whistle. He hooked his fingers towards Balboa who fell to the ground and asked for a penalty kick, signaling him to get up quickly so as not to delay the game.

Seeing the referee's gesture, Balboa angrily hammered the grass.

Subotic, who almost became a sinner through the ages, jumped up and roared angrily at Balboa: "You don't take a mirror to look at yourself, and you still want a penalty? Do you want to sentence you to win the championship?"

Subotic's saliva sprayed on Balboa's face because of his excitement.

Balboa was furious and pushed Subotic hard.

Subotic has rich experience in the game, and he fell backward in pain as if he had been shot by an ak47.

The scene just now was seen by the referee from the corner of the eye, and he decisively stopped the game.

"Red card, red card!"

Dortmund fans roared excitedly.

At the same time, Dortmund players add eye drops next to the referee.

But the referee did not take their advice and just gave Balboa a yellow card.

The game continued, and Benfica organized an attack again and made a comeback.

Left-back Coentraan broke through Piszczek and made a direct pass, which landed a little behind. Tang Zheng, who had returned to the penalty area, pushed the ball out of the penalty area with all his might.

Gotze at the front of the penalty area got stuck and stretched out his foot to stop the ball.

Aimar's counterattack was unsuccessful, Gotze passed a cross to Shaheen who ran out of position, and Dortmund got a chance to counterattack quickly.

But after receiving the ball, Lewandowski faced multiple double-teams. He had no choice but to choose a long shot. Because he was too hasty, his shot did not pose a threat to Cesar.

※※※

In the 82nd minute, Benfica's offense posed a huge threat.

Aimar and Gaitan bypassed Tang Zheng's defensive area through continuous pass and cut cooperation.

Aimar, who is very experienced in the game, suddenly shot coldly at the top of the arc in the penalty area!

The football rolled quickly against the turf towards the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

Because the line of sight was blocked, it was obviously too late when Weidenfeller made a save.

Just when the Benfica fans thought the score was going to be exceeded, the football brushed Weidenfeller's fingertips, and then hit the billboard directly against the outer edge of the goal post.

"Ooh-oh--"

Dortmund fans screamed with lingering fear in the stands.

"It's such a pity!" said the commentator of Portuguese national television regretfully.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the football rolled out against the goal post. If Benfica, who played one more player, overtook the score at this time, the game would be over."

With the danger in front of the goal, Klopp chose to change another player.

Sven Bender replaces Kuba.

The intention of this substitution adjustment is obvious, that is to liberate Tang Zheng while strengthening the defense in the middle!

He knew that he couldn't continue to defend like this, otherwise it would be a matter of time before he lost the ball.

Kuba, who was replaced, high-fived coach Klopp, took the towel handed up by the staff, and then high-fived his teammates on the bench one by one.

The presence of Sven Bender made Dortmund's defense in the center tougher. At the same time, the protection of the two ribs and the side was more timely, and Tang Zheng could free up his hands and feet to organize the attack.

Gotze has returned from injury, and his game state is not at his best, so he needs Tang Zheng's help.

Slowly, the fans watching the game discovered that Dortmund actually began to organize an effective offense and gradually controlled the rhythm of the game.

In this regard, Benfica coach Jesus has some headaches.

Now the team is eleven against ten, how can Dortmund, who has one less player, counter the suppression?

This... is unscientific!

Benfica, which is more inclined to a four-four-two formation, gradually became unable to resist. Jesús was worried about problems in the defense, so he simply replaced Saviola, who had a significant decline in physical fitness, with the Brazilian Felipe.

The fanatical atmosphere created above the Dublin Stadium is still there, and every fan is invested in the manufacture of this great project.

Players on both sides of the game are also fighting for a classic battle, and they must fight for every ball.

It's just that as time goes by, physical fitness gradually fails to keep up.

In a blink of an eye, the regular time jumped to eighty-nine minutes.

The offense organized by Benfica was in vain in Dortmund's tight central defense system, and Dortmund switched from defense to offense.

When Lewandowski finished the shot, the game came to 90 minutes of regulation time.

The fourth official held up a digital sign indicating five minutes of stoppage time.

Regarding the five-minute stoppage time, Marcel Leif was quite critical: "Isn't the stoppage time too long?"

On the contrary, Dortmund coach Klopp and Tang Zheng were a little excited.

The team played one less player for nearly half of the second half. In order to make up for the lack of numbers, every player was running more, and his physical fitness had already reached a critical point.

If it goes into overtime, it will be a big blow to Dortmund.

If you can score a goal in the final stage, it will be a lore!

Even if one player is missing, Klopp believes that the team can maintain the lead until the end of the game.

Now that the script has been written, it is waiting for the players to perform it.

In the first two minutes of stoppage time, both sides did not form a shot, and both sides competed in the midfield.

Until the time jumped to the third minute of stoppage time, Gaitan cut in from the right to form the gate.

It's just that his sight was not adjusted properly, and he shot directly into the two-story stands, which caused a burst of laughter from Dortmund fans.

"Will the game go into overtime?" Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Tang Zheng who was in control of the ball in the broadcast.

Guest commentator Xu Yang nodded and said: "According to the current situation, it is very likely to enter overtime."

At this moment, Tang Zheng, who ran into the restricted area, suddenly stopped on the spot and ran in a roundabout way.

Garcia made an emergency stop, and at this time, Piszczek made a direct cross from the right, passing an inverted triangle ground ball, and Tang Zheng shot furiously from the penalty area line.

Garcia subconsciously fell to the ground to block, Tang Zheng's shot hit his chest, and then flew out of the baseline.

Tang Zheng's long shots are very famous, Jesús and Benfica fans breathed a sigh of relief.

As before, Gotze was about to take a right corner kick, but was stopped by Tang Zheng, and at the same time pulled Lewandowski, Subotic and Hummels.

Marcel Leff watched the unusual scene in the rebroadcast, and he suddenly had a premonition: "Don called Mario, Robert, Nevin and Matz, and they whispered, could it be... the next corner kick Will there be a surprise?"

Indeed, Tang Zheng had a flash of inspiration and thought of a very good corner kick tactic.
