Chapter 191 Lore?
After the current Dortmund No. 3 captain Weidenfeller saved Messi's penalty kick to the bottom line, he did not show much excitement and presumptuousness. He and his teammates simply hugged and encouraged them to enter a state of reconciliation. Vertex Novel is the fastest update
Because of Subotic's provocation of Messi, there were some quarrels between the players on both sides, but with the efforts of the referee, the two sides had nothing to say.
"It's a shame that Messi didn't score the penalty he created."
"If Messi's penalty kick can score, then this year's European Super Cup will completely lose suspense, and the failure to score a penalty kick will bring new variables to this game."
"Although Messi didn't score a penalty kick, Barcelona's chances of winning are still very high. After all, they played one more man, and Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp was sent to the stands again. His change must not be as good as standing on the sidelines. Josep Guardiola."
"I have to say that Dortmund's fate is a bit big. They are still able to keep the goal in such a situation that is extremely unfavorable to them. They just don't know that they will be able to create a miracle next time and beat Barcelona."
"As the old saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed! I believe that Dortmund led by Tang Zheng will definitely help the team beat Barcelona in the remaining game time! Come on! Tang Zheng! Come on! Dortmund!!"
...
The conflict between the two sides ended, Harvey was about to take a corner kick, and the commentator in the on-site commentary analyzed the situation on the field.
Barcelona's high point on the field is obviously not as good as Dortmund, so Harvey did not take a direct corner kick, but a tactical corner kick.
"Press it out! Press it out!"
Harvey kicked the ball to Iniesta, Tang Zheng raised his voice to remind his teammates to move forward.
Tang Zheng's choice was correct, but it also coincided with Harvey's strategy.
Dortmund is currently in full swing, and a strong attack is obviously unrealistic. Therefore, Harvey, who controls the team's offensive and defensive rhythm, consciously raises the offensive line back, so as to open up the offensive space, otherwise it will be too difficult to pull Dortmund's defense.
For Dortmund, the physical critical point of the seventy-five-minute period is also effective for Barcelona, and their offense is not as fierce as it was before seventy-five minutes.
With Pirlo coming off the bench, Tang Zheng's pressure is much less, and he can focus more on helping the team break the deadlock.
Pirlo's rich game experience is fully reflected at this time,
His positioning and choices can often help the team.
The head coach Klopp, who is standing in the stands where Dortmund belongs, is thinking, should a substitution be made?
Lewandowski is currently the only player in the team who can play the role of center forward. Although his shooting skills need to be improved, he is indispensable for the current Dortmund.
The central and backcourt players definitely cannot be adjusted. They have a good understanding with each other. Adjusting the defense line with one less player fighting is tantamount to death.
So after much deliberation, Klopp's adjustment can only consider Gotze.
But Gotze has been a big help to Dortmund's attack, and he has the ball at his feet.
However, Dortmund's next transition from defense to offense made Klopp decide to replace Gotze. The large-scale running for nearly 80 minutes has already caused Gotze's physical fitness to decline significantly. Now he will lose his touch as long as there is physical contact control.
No matter from which point of view, it is always correct to adjust Goetze.
Another physical confrontation after receiving the ball, Gotze simply lay on the ground.
Cramp!
"Mario Gotze's physical fitness is overdrawn, and Dortmund should make adjustments!" said German Sky commentator Marcel Leif.
Gotze cramp, Barcelona players do not think this is normal, they put pressure on the referee, indicating that Gotze is faking leg cramps in order to delay the game time.
The referee raised his eyebrows and was very unhappy about the pressure on the Barcelona players, because it was his misjudgment that caused Dortmund to play one player less. It is normal for someone to have cramps in the 80th minute of the game, so he didn't say much words, but point to the watch.
※※※
Judging from the broadcast footage, Gotze seems to be unable to continue the game with cramps, and Dortmund should make substitution adjustments.
Almost all commentators believe that Dortmund will replace Gotze with a defensive player, and try to drag the game into overtime and even the final penalty shootout.
But in the choice of substitutions, Klopp did not tend to defend, but took offense while maintaining a strong defensive team!
So Klopp chose to replace the Polish winger Kuba who is extremely fast and hard-working defensively.
As for why Perisic was not chosen, it is entirely because he does not have a tacit understanding with the team and cannot play the cooperation that Klopp hopes to see.
Moreover, Lewandowski, Kuba and Piszczek can form a powerful Polish right-wing suit, and the degree of cooperation is self-evident.
Klopp made substitution adjustments through assistant coach Reli Kobvac, and Kuba quickly put on the game jersey. Perisic and Shinji Kagawa, who were sitting on the bench, were extremely disappointed.
Everyone wants to stand up and become the savior when the team encounters a crisis, but the number of substitutions in the game is limited...
In the 83rd minute, Dortmund made the third substitution adjustment of the game, and Kuba replaced Gotze.
The atmosphere at the Louis II Stadium is still frenzied, especially the Dortmund fans. The momentum they create is surprising.
As soon as Dortmund players had the ball there was a chorus of chants, and once Barcelona had the ball they produced an astonishing amount of boos.
This is also one of the reasons why Dortmund players can resist Barcelona's strong attack with one less player, because in many cases the role played by fans on the sidelines cannot be underestimated.
Although Barcelona took advantage of the advantages of technology and numbers to occupy the field advantage, and the ball possession ratio of the two sides gradually changed from 64 to 73, Dortmund performed very bravely amidst the cheering and cheering of the fans in the stands.
Among them, the roles played by Tang Zheng and Pirlo who came off the bench are crucial. The former uses running and awareness to act as a protective barrier in front of the double midfielders, while Pirlo can often appear in the final position with his excellent game experience. where it should appear.
So Guardiola was very anxious standing on the sidelines. It is a big taboo in football games to gain power and not score.
And Messi's penalty miss made this game even more uncertain.
Many Westerners believe in the existence of God, Guardiola is the same, he has a kind of ominous feeling...
Taking advantage of a Dortmund counterattack, Kuba fired an anti-aircraft gun, and Guardiola pulled Iniesta to teach him the opportunity.
At this time, the time reached eighty-six minutes.
Just as this scene was captured by the live broadcaster, Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said: "I think Barcelona should launch the final counterattack! They lead in numbers but did not take the lead. If there is no way to win the game in regular time, then overtime It will be very difficult for them because Dortmund is united..."
So far in the game, Dortmund has already given up the high pressure, Valdez quickly kicked the football thrown by the ball boy to full-back Alves, and Barcelona organized an attack in the backcourt.
Dortmund players have already set up a defensive line in the 40-meter area of their own side, waiting for Barcelona's attack.
Through the continuous triangular cooperation of Harvey, Iniesta and Fabregas, Barcelona's offense entered the 30-meter zone.
But it seems a bit difficult to penetrate further.
However, Harvey is not in a hurry to handle the ball. He is ready to hit the success rate according to Guardiola's latest adjustments.
In fact, it’s right to think about it. The time period when it is easiest to score goals in a football game is nothing more than the beginning of the first half and the end of the second half. These four stages are the most likely to be distracted.
Dortmund has played one less player for a long time, and the players' physical consumption is severe. At the last moment of the game, the tense nerves will definitely relax. Harvey, who is in possession of the ball, believes that Dortmund will definitely appear distracted at the end of the game.
In this game situation, another two minutes passed, and the time was about to reach 89 minutes, which meant that injury time was approaching.
British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned to partner Martin Taylor and said: "I think... extra time is inevitable."
Martin Taylor looked at Tang Zheng who was running without hesitation in the camera and suddenly shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily true. I remember that Dortmund also played one player less in the Europa League final, but Tang's last-minute kick beat Benfica in the world wave. I think the game is very good. There is a possibility of being killed."
"Oh? Believe that Chinese so much?" Andy Gray raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I believe him!"
※※※
As the game entered the final stage of regular time, the frenzy at the Louis II Stadium gradually became frenzied, and every fan rushed into the creation of this atmosphere.
Barcelona continued to control the ball in the middle, and Tang Zheng was in front of the double back waist. He had already been passed back and forth many times by Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas.
Even though he had plenty of physical strength, it was a bit overwhelming, but he didn't stop.
He believes that for every extra step he runs, his teammates will have an extra chance.
Iniesta passed the ball back to Harvey, and Tang Zheng rushed out like a cheetah. In order to ensure that the football was not lost, Harvey turned around deftly at 180 degrees, and Tang Zheng's braking was also very good. He froze on the spot and pushed Harvey slightly with his stomach, forcing him to stagger a little.
Of course, Harvey didn't lose control of the football, it's just that he was closely guarded by Tang Zheng, and it was impossible to turn around, so Harvey chose to hand the ball to Cesc Fabregas who retreated to respond.
However, Pirlo, who had been sticking to the defensive position, suddenly rushed up and stuck Fabregas with his body. At the same time, his left hand took advantage of the referee's blind spot to grab the jersey.
However, it is difficult for Pirlo to steal the ball. The former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is not a vegetarian. His physical confrontation ability and ball control ability are quite good.
Seeing that Cesc Fabregas didn't dispose of the ball with one kick, Tang Zheng suddenly accelerated while turning around, rushing towards Fabregas from the side.
Although Fabregas came from La Masia, after all, he only transferred back to Barcelona this summer. The running-in time is not long enough, and the pass and cut cooperation with his teammates is not optimal.
Harvey's tactical role in tiki-taka is unparalleled. He has to run around the ball holder in Barcelona's offensive system, so he saw Tang Zheng suddenly run towards Cesc Fabregas.
"Be careful! Francisco!!" Harvey shouted in surprise.
Cesc Fabregas heard Harvey's reminder, and from the corner of his eyes, he also noticed a Dortmund player wearing a yellow and black court, and his right foot in possession of the ball hurriedly pulled the ball to the left.
But as soon as he handled the ball like this, he immediately regretted it.
Taking advantage of Fabregas' distraction, Pirlo suddenly stepped down and stabbed the football out.
The football was impartial, and it happened to hit about half a meter behind Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng hurriedly stopped on the spot, using the advantage of his height and long legs to step on the football, Fabregas couldn't control that much in his haste, and rushed towards Tang Zheng aggressively.
But Tang Zheng was very smart. He stepped on the ball with his right foot, and then he spotted Fabregas' right foot and stepped forward. With a light tap on his toe, the football rolled between Fabregas' legs and came to Pierre. Luo's feet.
"pretty!!"
Fabregas came to a sudden stop on the spot and rushed to Pirlo who was holding the ball.
And Iniesta and Harvey flanked each other from two sides, preparing to regain control of the football through the first high pressure.
What level of player is Pirlo?
He is an old man who has won the Champions League and the World Cup, and he has extremely rich game experience.
The clear-headed Pirlo passed the ball straight to the front left without stopping.
Because after Tang Zheng passed the ball through the crotch, he consciously responded to Pirlo.
"Huh?" He Wei, the narrator of Central 5, his eyes lit up, and his whole emotion suddenly exploded because of this: "Opportunity!!"
Pirlo, who passed the ball, attracted Harvey and Iniesta's pinch, and Fabregas, who had lost the ball before, also ran towards Pirlo.
Now Pirlo passed the ball, and the target was the forward Tang Zheng.
In other words, Tang Zheng is closer to the center line than Barcelona's midfield trio!
"Aww"
When the Dortmund fans saw Tang Zheng catch the ball and moved forward, they tacitly opened their throats and burst into loud noises.
Lewandowski moved forward immediately and took away central defender Abidal.
Another central defender Mascherano didn't dare to act rashly in the final stage of the game, so he chose to fight and retreat.
Perhaps it was due to the decline in physical fitness, Tang Zheng didn't handle the ball well in the first step, so that he had to slow down and wait for the ball.
At this time, the extremely fast right back Alves was refreshed and quickened his pace, even if he made a foul.
But Tang Zheng had a wide field of vision, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed Alves on the left rear. He didn't control the ball right away, but got stuck first.
Alves was like a sports car hitting the rear of a large truck, his whole body was a little sidetracked, and at the same time, he also felt the reaction force brought by Tang Zheng's huge body, and his whole body fell backwards.
Fabregas and Iniesta, who were chasing back, hurriedly waved their arms excitedly to signal Tang Zheng to foul, but the referee was very accurate. It was Tang Zheng who got stuck first, and Alves did not have time to brake before rear-ending.
No foul!
Tang Zheng also didn't pay attention to the referee behind him, he directly used Alves' impact force to push the ball forward with his right foot, speeding up!
British Sky commentator Martin Taylor yelled: "Will Don repeat the lore at Dublin Stadium?"
