Chapter 242 Captain Tang Lectures

The boos of the home team fans at the Westfalenstadion were deafening. Captain Kyle pointed to his temple with a smile instead of anger, and asked the referee: "Did you see clearly? I'm slipping! My feet are slipping!! "

The referee Eriksson was unmoved, still took out a red card from his trouser pocket, and then pointed his finger in the direction of the locker room.

Pirlo, who has always been calm, was not happy. He stood next to the referee Eriksson and sarcastically said: "Why can't Barcelona's powerful enemy always play the whole game with all the players?"

The venting Pirlo naturally had to accept the penalty given by the referee, a yellow card as a warning.

Kyle knew that his dismissal was a foregone conclusion, so he pulled Pirlo away, and then returned to the referee Eriksson, warning with a serious expression: "You have to figure out whose home court this is!"

After all, he untied the captain's armband on his left arm and handed it to goalkeeper Weidenfeller through Hummels.

The on-site director switched shots and aimed at Dortmund coach Klopp, his angry complaint.

Barcelona's success in the past three seasons is all related to controversy. I encountered it once in the European Super Cup last year. I didn't expect to encounter it again now. Could it be that Barcelona can't finish the normal game with the opponent?

Zeliko Buvac was pivotal again as he and fitness coach Oliver Bartlett dragged an enraged Klopp back to the dugout.

At the same time, the on-site director switched to capture a close-up shot of Tang Zheng. He was very excited at the moment Kyle was sent off, and spit out a series of words.

Central 5 commentator He Wei understood Tang Zheng's meaning in an instant, and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV also understood his meaning.

China's national curse, only Chinese people understand.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was very angry. He cited a series of typical examples of Barcelona being taken care of by referees: "The famous Stamford Bridge tragedy in the Champions League semi-finals of the 2008-2009 season is still fresh in everyone's memory. Three or four teams belonging to Chelsea None of the penalty opportunities were awarded. In the 2009-2010 Champions League semi-finals, Busquets' obvious acting led to Inter Milan star Motta being sent off for accumulating yellow cards. Pepe and Mourinho were fined in the Champions League semi-finals last season. Next, last year's European Super Cup... What does this mean? Any fool can guess!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray also thought of the losses suffered by the Premier League teams against Barcelona in the past three seasons, so he made a severe judgment on the penalty of the Swedish referee Eriksson.

Except for those commentators who subjectively support Barcelona, ​​others are basically criticizing the referee for being too partial to Barcelona.

If the previous penalty kick was somewhat controversial, it was within the scope of allowing misjudgments.

After all, people are not machines, and it is understandable that the contact between electric light and flint cannot be clearly seen, but considering the previous misjudgment, can the referee give a lighter sentence to this accidental "traffic accident"?

As a result, no.

This is what most commentators and football pundits complain about.

Falling behind at home, playing one less player, and the captain Kyle was sent off. The head coach Klopp had no choice but to replace Royce with Klinger, who rarely played this season. Supplement the defensive loopholes in the middle.

In this way, Dortmund, who is playing at home, has to beware of the indiscriminate bombing of Barcelona, ​​which has a superior number, and the offense has become extravagant.

At least, in the eyes of Tang Zheng in the VIP seat, the competition basically ended early.

The problem Tang Zheng was worried about appeared in the 68th minute of the game.

Barcelona, ​​which controlled the rhythm of the game, frequently involved Dortmund's left and right defenses by virtue of its numerical advantage.

Finally opened a gap in the attacking left rib.

It was Messi again. His sudden acceleration caused Dortmund's defensive system to focus on one thing and lose another. The problems caused by Klinger's absence from Dortmund's regular lineup all year round were infinitely magnified.

Chilean winger Sanchez, who came off the bench for Barcelona, ​​received Messi's penetrating through ball into the penalty area, and then went straight to the goal without stopping the ball.

Dortmund is 0:2 behind Barcelona at home.

The frenzied atmosphere at the Westfalen Stadium did not decline because the home team fell behind by two goals. They always booed loudly when the referee whistled and the players of the visiting team held the ball, and the home team shouted like a tsunami when they took the ball. .

Tang Zheng's eyes were still on the field, now only Lewandowski and Gotze were left to attack, and it was very difficult to score goals.

In addition, Barcelona, ​​which leads by two goals in the away game, has slowed down the passing rhythm. Alves, who got the ball from the right, made a low pass. The football was blocked by the excellent Hummels. Messi and Sanchez went up, he took his time and kicked the ball to Gundogan.

Barcelona's frontcourt players practice high pressure, breaking the football as much as possible and counterattacking on the spot.

Gundogan passed the ball to Pirlo who ran horizontally to the top of the penalty area. Iniesta and Harvey rushed over at the same time.

Pirlo has rich experience in the game and has a wide vision. He noticed Lewandowski and Gotze running forward when Hummels stopped Alves from passing the ball. He didn't do anything when facing the ball. Adjust, swing your right foot and make a long pass to the left.

Alves, who was guarding the right, went forward to assist and had a large space behind him.

Gotze and Mascherano run to the ball at the same time.

Dortmund got a quick counterattack opportunity, Barcelona coach Guardiola did not show any tension, and sat leisurely on the coach's bench.

However, the next moment, he stood up abruptly.

Mascherano rushed too fast, but the speed of his feet was too slow. As a result, Gotze stabbed the football out first, and rolled towards the large space behind Mascherano.

"Aww-"

Then there was a huge exclamation at the Westfalenstadion.

This mistake was fatal to Barcelona, ​​and it was too late by the time Pique came to make up the defense.

Dortmund's two-for-two frontcourt!

Defense is always passive, and the offensive side has an absolute advantage.

Lewandowski has grown a lot after these two seasons of training, especially Gotze. The passing and running positions of the two are very tacit.

The moment Pique jumped up to defend Gotze, Gotze passed the ball.

Lewandowski, who has been paying attention to his position, then plugs in to catch the ball and faces Valdez single-handedly.

Valdez abandoned the goal in an attempt to interfere with Lewandowski's one-handed ball handling.

But Lewandowski did not shoot, but crossed the left rib of the penalty area.

Gotze, who didn't stop running, had enough time to adjust. He stabilized the football with his right foot and then scored an empty goal.

Dortmund scored with a high-quality quick counterattack in an extremely passive situation!

Tang Zheng, who was at the VIP seat at the scene, seemed very excited, jumped up, then turned around, held Zhao Lina's cheek with both hands, and kissed it fiercely.

※※※

The Westfalen Stadium fell into extreme carnival because of Gotze's goal, and the head coach Klopp even lashed out at the visiting team's coach command area.

The Dortmund fans were as excited as children, venting the aggrieved feeling brought about by the first seventy minutes.

Suddenly, Dortmund's momentum came up.

Even if there is one less player on the field, it still has a local advantage.

Marcel Leif said excitedly: "What's wrong with the referee factor? We can still score! Dortmund can definitely let one person out when playing Barcelona!"

"Dortmund really deserves their reputation as the No. 1 devil in Europe. Even if there is one less player on the field, they can get back a goal! If this situation continues, I think... an equalizer is not impossible!"

The commentator of the Catalan TV station was very worried: "This kind of drama was staged once last year, and the same mistakes must not be repeated!"

In fact, Dortmund's momentum did not help them equalize the score, but exposed a huge problem in a defense.

In the 84th minute, Barcelona switched from defense to offense, but their tactical quality was extremely high. Instead of a quick counterattack, they advanced to Dortmund's defensive half through passing layers.

The way of playing is no different from the past, passing back and forth to fully dispatch the opponent's defensive strength.

Dortmund has a numerical disadvantage. In order to make up for the lack of numbers, the running range of defensive players has to be expanded accordingly, but the decline in physical fitness has been very obvious since the game.

Prolonged ineffective running back and forth, causing some defensive players to lack concentration.

After receiving the football, Xavi, the brain of Barcelona, ​​changed his previous style of playing the ball, suddenly flicked his ankle, and sent a through ball as precise as a scalpel.

Iniesta, who attacked the left side obliquely from the side, cut into the penalty area with the ball, and faced Subotic who came from the defense, he hit the ground with a kick.

The football just passed between the legs of Subotic, who was defending, and the goalkeeper Weidenfeller's sight was disturbed to a certain extent. It was too late to make a save when he saw it.

1:3

The score displayed on the scoreboard has been rewritten, and the frenzy at Westfalenstadion has declined to a certain extent.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the VIP seat, also became a little decadent, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he covered his handsome face with his hands, with indescribable sadness.

"Could it be that you want to break the top eight again?"

Tang Zheng looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, as if talking to himself.

At this time, Zhao Lina suddenly grabbed Tang Zheng's right hand and pressed it against her left cheek: "So what if you lose at home? Can't you win it back in the away game? That's not how I remember you! Even if they can beat Barcelona in the European Super Cup, even if they lose the game, it will be equal to the last half of the game..."

The falling sound of the Westfalen Stadium heated up again, Tang Zheng glanced at the three stands that had rejoined the battle, then looked at Zhao Lina, squeezed his right hand lightly, put his head next to Zhao Lina's ear and said, "I see. "

Tang Zheng withdrew his right hand, put his hands behind his head, held his head high, looked at the beautiful night sky, and his memory was brought back to the River Plate first team training ground.

The training field that has been idle for a long time, the special parting gift from Simeone before the Copa Libertadores final.

At this moment, there is more faith in his deep eyes.

As long as the game is not completely over, then... there is still hope!

The score of 1:3 continued until the end of the game, and Dortmund's record 64 home unbeaten games in all competitions came to an end.

Meanwhile, North London, England, at the Emirates Stadium.

Bayern Munich, who represented the Bundesliga in the Champions League, defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the field, just like Barcelona who defeated Dortmund, infinitely close to the semi-finals.

But the same away win, Barcelona, ​​which defeated Dortmund as a guest, is full of controversy.

In the regular press conference after the game, the most frequently asked questions by reporters were about referees. Guardiola gave a vague answer: "This is an unavoidable thing, because this is football."

It is normal for the coach of the visiting team to avoid sensitive topics. The media reporters put their minds on Klopp, trying to pry some shocking news out of his mouth.

But Klopp didn't fall for it. He and Guardiola's attitudes are almost the same. They both deliberately avoided commenting on the referee. At the same time, they said that the Champions League quarter-finals are a two-round contest.

Because there was no Tang Zheng in the first round, he believed that Tang Zheng, who could appear in the second round, would lead Dortmund to come back and advance!

For Klopp's point of view, the local media in Catalonia did not agree with it, and immediately went back.

What made them feel bored was that Klopp only answered one sentence, which in Chinese means: "Wait and see!"

The next day, the European media and even the world media made key reports on the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals held at the Westfalen Stadium yesterday.

Barcelona, ​​who was a guest, was taken care of by the referee and made headlines. Not only did they get a non-existent penalty, but the referee even sent off Dortmund captain Kyle for an unintentional mistake, which led to the overall situation of the game leaning towards Barcelona.

Many media can't help but think of the various cares Barcelona has received in recent seasons. The term "sugar daddy" has once again appeared in the headlines of media in various countries.

Of course, the Catalan media is an exception.

Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund quietly re-prepared.

The league is at the top of the table, and the chances of defending the league title are great, so there is no need to pay too much attention.

So preparations are naturally aimed at the second leg of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at Camp Nou next week.

However, most of the Dortmund players in the Stobelari training center appeared listless, and it seemed that they had collectively lost confidence in the future games.

Even the head coach Klopp and the coaching staff are like this.

Only Tang Zheng had high fighting spirit.

After the first recovery training session in the afternoon, Tang Zheng really couldn't bear this atmosphere of lack of fighting spirit. He hesitated for a while, then decided to call his teammates and have a chat.

The game is a matter for the entire team, no matter how hard Tang Zheng is alone, no matter how good his condition is, he still needs the support of his teammates at the same level, so what he has to do is to hope that his teammates will forget about yesterday's game and look forward to the future.

After a while, the players gathered together and sat in a circle.

The members of the coaching staff were sitting on the coaching bench, and the assistant coach Zeliko Buvac looked curiously at the players in a circle and looked at Klopp: "What are they doing?"

"do not know."

Klopp shook his head, expressing that he didn't know, but he had a premonition that Tang Zheng, the second captain of the team and who would wear the captain's armband in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, should give a lecture to his teammates, so he became very interested.
