Chapter 362: Outer Arc of the Right Foot

"Aww-"

When the Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion saw Tang Zheng deliberately leaking the football from between his legs, they didn't know why they couldn't help but suddenly turned up the volume, creating deafening cheers.

The subconscious behavior of Iniesta and Pedro was to stretch out their feet to block the ball, and the second reaction was to pay attention to Tang Zheng.

In football matches, the most taboo is to watch the football and not the people.

Tang Zheng gave way with both legs, and the football rolled towards the center Lewandowski who was pulled out to support him.

Baltra headed towards Lewandowski, Pique tried to steal the ball from the other side, but Lewandowski didn't intend to stop the ball and turn around, he passed the ball directly to Tang Zheng's diagonal thrust after turning around free time.

Pique has been pulled out, and he had to bite the bullet and meet him when Busquets was out of position.

First choice for interception, second choice for fouls.

Many times the idea is good, but it is a bit difficult to implement.

Because the offense often has the absolute initiative, and the defense is passive.

Tang Zheng had enough time to observe his teammates' running positions when he was unmarked, so Pique rushed very hard.

However, Tang Zheng had already observed the running position of his teammates, so it was doomed that the premise of Pique's position was futile.

He and Lewandowski's way of playing the ball is almost the same, the only difference is that he stepped on the football with his right foot and paused.

At the same time, Lewandowski completed a ninety-degree turn against Bartra's body.

Tang Zheng pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his right foot to open the gap for passing the ball, and then followed with the arch of his left foot to push the ball between Pique and Bartra.

Baltra kept pushing his body towards Lewandowski as he retreated, but Lewandowski, not to mention his physical strength, and his ability to move his feet very flexibly, deliberately avoided Baltra's coverage area.

In the physical confrontation between electric light and flint, Baltra was already at a disadvantage, and Lewandowski's feet moved flexibly to open the distance, while Baltra's center of gravity was close to Lewandowski.

It is equivalent to saying that Baltra lost his support, and his center of gravity suddenly lost.

Valdez reacted quickly,

But Lewandowski reacts faster, has more explosive power and speed.

In addition, Tang Zheng's passing power was not strong, and his forward rolling speed was rather slow, as if he knew that when Lewandowski and Bartra competed for positions, it would take a little time...

Lewandowski stretched his long legs forward and poked the football away first.

Valdez realized that he could not pounce on the football and had a sense of pounce. Unexpectedly, Lewandowski had already predicted that he took off early and avoided Valdez's foul.

The next thing is very simple for a striker of Lewandowski's level.

With a low shot, the football rolled towards the empty goal.

Left-back Alba raised his right arm and looked towards the assistant referee.

How he wanted to catch the ball Lewandowski was offside first...

It is a pity that the assistant referee did not raise it. Instead, the side flag pointed to the center line and ran back at the same time.

In other words, the goal is valid!

※※※

"The goal was scored, Robert—"

The incendiary voice of live announcer Norbert Dicker came from the Westfalenstadion radio.

The fans at the scene were very tacit, creating a deafening huge response: "—— Lewandowski!!"

Lewandowski, who scored a goal, was as excited as a child. His progress in the past two Bundesliga seasons is obvious to all, and he scored continuously, but he was still criticized by many German media.

Because his goals are basically concentrated in the league, the Europa League and Champions League goals are not enough to add up to double digits.

Some German media once questioned Lewandowski's smugness, scoring internal goals like a nuisance, and scoring external goals is as difficult as climbing the sky.

Now he scored a key goal in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which relieved the huge pressure on him to some extent.

Of course, he didn't forget Tang Zheng who passed the ball.

After finishing his personal venting celebration, Lewandowski took the initiative to hug Tang Zheng, and said emotionally, "Thank you, Tang."

Tang Zheng smiled and patted Lewandowski on the back as a response: "It's because of your strong grasping ability, I just did what I should do."

At the same time, Central 5 commentator He Wei gave a wonderful comment on Lewandowski's goal: "Beautiful! Lewandowski received a pass from Tang Zheng and passed Valdez to hit an empty goal. Dortmund leads Barcelona 2-0 at home! With more than half an hour left in the game, there is no choice for the lagging Barcelona, ​​they must increase their attack!"

"Robert Lewandowski is the hero of Dortmund's goals, but don't forget the series of work that Don has done before. Don with one assist is the biggest contributor to Dortmund's two-goal lead!"

German sky commentator Marcel Leif was very excited, but he had to say that his commentary was accompanied by some controversy.

The Polish fans were upset when they heard this. In their hearts, Lewandowski also contributed a lot.

It is undeniable that Tang Zheng's leaks and passes are excellent, but Lewandowski's sense of cooperation, movement awareness and shooting feeling are very good.

As long as there is a problem with one of the links, it is impossible to score a goal!

The fans at the scene watched the live broadcast and did not hear the commentator's commentary. Their celebration goals were the purest.

Roaring hysterically in the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, venting the pleasure brought by the goal.

How about losing to Barcelona at home in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season?

That's because we lack key player Tang Zheng!

Now less than 60 minutes, one goal, one assist, two goals ahead of the Cosmos team Barcelona!

※※※

After the slow motion of the entire goal was given, the on-site director gave Guardiola a close-up shot.

This shot is a pun, first of all to see Guardiola's face, and secondly to hope that he will make adjustments to Barcelona's existing lineup.

But how to adjust, now this Barcelona team really doesn't have a good choice,

Fabregas, Villa, Tello?

No matter who it is, it is not the best choice.

Cesc Fabregas returned to Barcelona and couldn't find the feeling for a long time. Villa's state has risen with age and has been far from the last two seasons.

Tello has had a bright performance, but Guardiola dare not use the focus of the Champions League semi-finals!

At the other end, Dortmund's bench players are all warming up in the warm-up area, ready to play at any time.

Immediately afterwards, the camera gave Barcelona star Messi a close-up shot of his face.

His complexion was very ugly and heavy.

The on-site director suddenly switched the camera and showed Dortmund captain Tang Zheng who was slowly returning to his own half.

Two ten, there is a clear contrast again.

The tone of the Catalan TV commentator dropped significantly: "Barcelona has fallen behind Dortmund 0:2 in the away game. As the team's number one superstar, Leo really needs to do something, otherwise it is very likely that after missing the throat final last season Missed the Champions League final again."

The Dortmund players slowly walked back to their own half. Messi turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, who also had the number '10' printed on his back, with complicated emotions.

He was not reconciled, why every time he met Tang Zheng, he always felt that he couldn't use his strength!

damn it!

The game restarted, and Barcelona quickly launched an offensive by taking advantage of the kick-off, and quickly got a kicker opportunity.

But Pedro played too hastily, and the front sight was not adjusted properly. He directly fired anti-aircraft guns at the front of the penalty area.

Another minute of the game passed, Messi gained space by actively running, but under Tang Zheng's pressure, he didn't adjust his sight properly, and his shot missed the post.

"Hahaha--"

In this regard, there was a deafening roar of laughter at the Westfalen Stadium. The home fans used this method to mock Messi's incompetence.

Messi frowned, obviously very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

Who made this Dortmund's home stadium?

Weidenfeller was not in a hurry to take the goal kick. He passed a short pass from the backcourt to the full-back, and then the full-back handed it to Gundogan to control the rhythm of the game.

Because the Barcelona players conceded two goals, their defensive enthusiasm was greatly reduced. Guardiola realized that substitutions became urgent.

※※※

In the 64th minute, veteran Villa replaced Pedro.

This substitution adjustment is quite effective. With Villa in front, Messi and Sanchez have more room to move.

Invisibly, Barcelona's offense has improved a lot.

Of course, it's just a little improvement.

As the most important player on Barcelona's offensive end, Messi receives the greatest defensive attention.

The same is true of Xavi, the brain of the midfielder. He is the soul of Barcelona's midfielder and the core of the organization. Restricting Xavi is equivalent to strangling the lifeblood of Barcelona's attack.

Satisfied with his tactical adjustments, Klopp turned his head to look at the substitute players in the warm-up area.

Strengthen midfield control, or speed up the frontcourt attack?

After the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Shaheen has recovered significantly. Coupled with the recovery of the league's status, it is enough to cope with the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

However, Shaheen must replace a player when he plays, and Gotze and Royce must not move.

Tang Zheng is not on the removal list at all, so the only choice is between Gundogan and Sven Bender.

Jing Duoan has both offense and defense, and is the core of the midfield organization.

Sven Bender is active in running, has outstanding defensive ability, and has a strong sense of supplementary defense.

At this moment, Pique's long pass from the backcourt was pushed back by Hummels. Gundogan first got stuck and then gave the ball to Sven Bender.

Through early observation, Sven Bender tipped the ball forward with the arch of his right foot and rolled to Tang Zheng who retreated to the center circle of Barcelona to catch the ball.

"Aww-"

In an instant, the frenzied atmosphere at Westfalenstadion heated up instantly.

Tang Zheng turned his back to Harvey and Iniesta, he made a change of center of gravity in which his upper body swayed to the right.

Harvey jumped to the right, and Iniesta kept an eye out and jumped to the left to prevent Tang Zheng from using the change of center of gravity to break through from the other side.

It is undeniable that Iniesta's guess was accurate, Tang Zheng did use the change of center of gravity, but he did not turn from the left to break through, but stepped on the sole of his left foot to pull back.

Harvey and Iniesta, who wanted to close the door, were half a beat slower. Coupled with Tang Zheng's tonnage and explosive power, they were like a heavy truck breaking through the barrier.

"Don—"

Marcel Leif's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Under the frenzied atmosphere at the scene, Busquets was very hesitant. He didn't know whether to push out or hold his position.

But Tang Zheng's next choice helped Busquets make a choice, or Busquets had to choose.

Tang Zheng dribbled the ball and strode forward five meters, coming to the attacking 35-meter area.

Goetze and Reus slanted into the ribs from the wing, and Lewandowski pressed the two central defenders into the penalty area.

Busquets had no choice, he wanted to restrict Tang Zheng's activities.

It's a pity that Tang Zheng didn't intend to continue dribbling the ball, he flicked the ball to Gotze on the left rib with the outside instep of his left foot.

Sanchez returned to the defense actively. He tried to stretch out his foot to steal the ball, but he was half a beat too late. Tang Zheng passed the football first, but his toe landed on Tang Zheng's heel instead.

The referee Kashaoyi saw that Gotze was in control of the ball, Tang Zheng was only staggering, and did not fall to the ground. He made a powerful offensive gesture to continue the game.

Busquets wanted to continue with Tang Zheng, but he didn't expect Gotze to cut inside directly after taking the ball.

Busquets, who was still holding his ground, had to stand still and prevent Gotze, who cut inside, from getting a chance to face the goal head-on.

Attracting Busquets' defensive attention, Gotze didn't stick to the ball anymore. He passed the ball directly to the offensive left rib without even looking at it.

After Tang Zheng passed the ball to Goetze, the two had an obvious substitution. Gotze who came to the middle was tantamount to returning the ball to Tang Zheng.

Iniesta and Xavi are slow, Busquets is in the middle again, right back Alves is suppressed by Schmelzer and dare not go in too deep, it means that Tang Zheng who catches the ball has only Sanchez who is actively returning to defend defense.

Tang Zheng had a wide field of vision, so he naturally noticed the activeness of his friend Sanchez. While facing Gotze to pass the ball, he raised his left foot and made a 45-degree cross from the left.

If Sanchez was in the past, he would definitely not be able to make any moves. Tang Zheng was right-handed when he was in the riverbed.

Now Tang Zheng's left and right feet are more balanced, Sanchez has to extend his right foot to block the cross when returning to defense at high speed.

Of course, Tang Zheng missed the football with his swung left foot, he just feinted and kicked the ball back to his right foot.

At this time, Sanchez was very thankful that he did not throw his body completely, and he quickly retracted his right foot.

Tang Zheng didn't give Sanchez too many opportunities to adjust, and swung his right foot again.

Sanchez, who had just retracted his right foot, had to twist his waist and shake his abdomen, quickly turned to the left to complete a 90-degree turn, and then raised his left foot to block it.

"Oh? Fake action again?"

In the broadcast footage, Tang Zheng tapped the football to the left with his swung right foot, and Marcel Leif's voice was both surprised and joyful.

"damn it!"

Sanchez scolded Tang Zheng secretly in his heart, it was a bit difficult to regain his focus.

After all, at this stage of the game, his physical fitness has also declined significantly.

But Tang Zheng's next choice surprised Sanchez again. Tang Zheng tapped the ball to the left with the inside of the instep of his right foot, and then used the instep of his right foot to kick the ball very covertly.

Baltra, who was guarding the front point, was shocked when he saw the football flying from Sanchez to the penalty area.

Just now he had been paying attention to whether Tang Zheng would continue to break through, and then waited for the opportunity to make up the defense, so much so that he forgot to pay attention to Lewandowski.

Not to mention the concealment of Tang Zheng's pass from the outside of the instep of the right foot, and the placement is excellent.

The football is like a cruise missile, it circles Bartra at the front with an arc from the outside to the inside, and then flies towards Lewandowski...

Behind him, Pique panicked.
