Chapter 398: The Change Has Just Begun
Facing Tang Zheng's help defense on the right side of his side's defense, Cristiano Ronaldo did not try to break through, but directly returned the ball to Ozil, who passed the ball, and he passed it to his side's attacking right side. At Ludi Maria's feet.
Behind the Dortmund goal is the South Stand, which is the area where Dortmund's diehard fans gather, and the nearby stands are all supporting Dortmund fans, so seeing Cristiano Ronaldo dare not break through Tang Zheng, he wantonly laughed and laughed. Cristiano Ronaldo has no guts.
Cristiano Ronaldo can be said to be a respectable professional player in the world of football, but he was ridiculed by the opponent's fans in the top competition of the Champions League final, even Tang Zheng also grinned.
How humiliating is this?
It's really tolerable and unbearable!
At this time, the football came to the foot of Di Maria, who was attacking the right, but he had no good way. As a left-footer, he was prone to make mistakes when passing the ball from the bottom, and he outflanked and followed up Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle. It is very difficult to compete for the top football under the combined defense of Subotic, Hummels and Tang Zheng.
According to Mourinho's offensive tactics, it is better to be more patient than to cross for the sake of crossing.
If there is a chance, he will use the winger's misplaced kick to cut in, and if there is no chance, he will pass back.
The team's patience is indeed good, but Cristiano Ronaldo can't wait, he is eager to save face.
Football has been developing on the right. Cristiano Ronaldo, standing on the left, raised his right arm early and signaled his teammates to pass the ball to the left.
Tang Zheng, who was born as a defensive midfielder in his career, has always retained his previous playing habits. Whether it is attacking or defending, he will habitually look back, forth, left, and right while running.
This is one of the reasons why he has a strong ability to read the game.
Found traces of opponents while running,
Thinking in another way, you can easily get the approximate area of the threatening ball that the opponent may pass, and then appear in the most dangerous place.
Xavi Alonso made some adjustments after receiving Di Maria's pass, and made a long pass directly to Cristiano Ronaldo on the left.
If you look at it from the usual perspective. This is undoubtedly a very precise long pass, but Tang Zheng took the initiative to retreat through his early observation.
In order not to attract the attention of Harvey Alonso, who also has a strong ability to read the game, his retreat is very small, and he does not take a step until Harvey Alonso swings his right foot.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Tang Zheng's current football IQ is really very high, and he plays very stealthily.
He did not turn around or half-turn while taking a step back, but retreated directly to Xavi Alonso, and waited until the football left Xavi Alonso's right foot to complete the turn quickly.
Tang Zheng's judgment on the high-altitude ball was very accurate, even if he was facing the ball with his back facing him, he still pushed the ball out of the right sideline before Cristiano Ronaldo who was facing the ball head-on.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't receive the long pass, and felt a little annoyed. He quickly signaled Marcelo, who came up to throw the ball, to throw the ball over.
Tang Zheng was the closest, so he naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Cristiano Ronaldo, so he posted it immediately.
Marcelo wanted to throw it to other teammates, but seeing the number one star in the team raised his hand for the ball, he was too embarrassed not to give it, so he threw the ball over as Cristiano Ronaldo meant.
"Aww-"
The neutral fans at the new Wembley Stadium saw Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo entangled again, subconsciously creating loud cheers.
After all, one of the biggest highlights of this game is the direct confrontation between the top stars of the two teams, so it is not to be missed!
Cristiano Ronaldo had a good position, but he ignored Tang Zheng's height and long legs, and he also used his small movements reasonably.
In the broadcast footage, Tang Zheng's right hand used the cover of his body to grab Cristiano Ronaldo's jersey, preventing him from blocking the open space on the left, and then took advantage of his height and long legs to stretch his left foot and throw it from the other end. , Just the sole of the left foot blocked the football thrown by Marcelo.
Both Marcelo and Cuba react quickly, but Cuba, who is more explosive, obviously has the advantage. He swung his foot while running, and the football hit Marcelo's outstretched left foot.
In the blink of an eye, the soccer balls collided back and forth between the two of them, before finally going out of the touchline.
Players from both sides raised their right arms at the same time to signal their own sideline kick. The experienced referee Rizzoli did not judge by feeling, but saw the assistant referee's flag gesture and then awarded the sideline ball to Dortmund.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked very annoyed. He felt that the referee Rizzoli was thinking about Dortmund, so he shook his arm angrily to vent his strong dissatisfaction.
This action was carried out under Rizzoli's nose. As a top referee cultivated by UEFA, Rizzoli didn't care how big Cristiano Ronaldo was. He pointed at Cristiano Ronaldo with a black face, and then ticked finger.
It wasn't until this moment that Cristiano Ronaldo realized that his reaction had gone too far. He quickly changed his face, walked towards the referee Rizzoli obediently, clasped his hands together, and at the same time admitted his mistake actively.
Rizzoli is a very strong referee who controls the scene. Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo gave in, he didn't intend to draw his cards and only gave a verbal warning.
The head coach Mourinho standing on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. The Dortmund fans in the stands did not plan to let Cristiano Ronaldo go. They shouted "Messi, Messi" loudly to stimulate Christie. Jarno Ronaldo.
At the same time, Tang Zheng keenly felt that Cristiano Ronaldo frowned deeply, which seemed to reveal a stronger fighting spirit.
If it was really one-on-one, Tang Zheng really wasn't afraid.
He's afraid of Cristiano Ronaldo using his team, and that's the trouble.
Harvey Alonso plays a very prominent role in Real Madrid's tactical system. The offense requires him to organize and dispatch, and he can complete the task well when defending.
It's just that now as I grow older, the range and speed of activities have dropped dramatically, and many times I have intentions but are powerless.
Khedira's technical ability is not particularly outstanding. It is unrealistic to expect him to pass the penetrating through ball like Harvey Alonso and Ozil, but he can do transition, short-distance transfer and After plugging in to participate in the offensive work, it can still be done very well.
It's not a big problem for Real Madrid to screen for Cristiano Ronaldo as a whole. What Tang Zheng worries about is that Cristiano Ronaldo screens for the team. That's the real trouble...
※※※
What does it mean for Cristiano Ronaldo to be successful at Manchester United and then at Real Madrid?
It shows that he has never been a reckless person, on the contrary he is a person who knows how to use his brain very well.
After the two rounds of the Champions League group stage clash this season, Cristiano Ronaldo had a self-reaction.
It's just that as a famous star, he often feels embarrassed and stubborn, so he has conflicts with the head coach Mourinho who has the same outstanding personality.
Next, Cristiano Ronaldo became even smarter in the way he played the ball. He didn't think too much about Tang Zheng when he took the ball, and returned the ball directly. He even took the initiative to change sides with Di Maria on the right.
After defending like this, Tang Zheng felt that his strength was not in place, and his heart was very tired.
But Tang Zheng wasn't particularly worried about the defensive line right now, after all, wingers switching positions often appeared in games.
The winger's misplaced kick is conducive to cutting in and shooting, which is more direct threat to the goal.
The winger's match-up method is conducive to giving full play to the advantages of the dominant foot player, and the quality of the cross is guaranteed.
Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Khedira all have the opportunity to enter Dortmund's penalty area, so Klopp's arrangements in this regard before the game are very rigorous and meticulous.
Unless, there is an accident.
Judging from the first twenty minutes of the game, the situation has been under Klopp's control.
During these 20 minutes, both Klopp and Mourinho have also become frequent targets of on-site directors.
Because whether it is Klopp or Mourinho, they are all the kind of head coaches with flamboyant personalities, and their body movements are extremely provocative.
They made body movements on the sidelines and there was always a huge cheer erupting over the new Wembley Stadium.
Of course, the twenty-two talents on the field are the focus of the game, and the fans' attention is also on these fighters who are fighting for the Champions League championship.
For so long, Dortmund has not created enough to threaten Casillas to keep the goal. German Sky commentator Marcel Leif talked about his worries: "In such a crucial game, Jurgen Kloe I can understand Pu put Tang in the defensive midfield position, but why hasn't he entered the penalty area once in the past 20 minutes except for set kicks and corner kicks?"
Speaking of this, his voice was a few degrees higher: "If Tang can enter the 30-meter zone of Real Madrid's defense more, I think Dortmund's offensive quality will be improved by at least a notch."
In fact, why doesn't Klopp know?
For Tang Zheng's ability, no one knows better than him.
It's just that defense is more needed in the finals, and strengthening offense is plan B.
Because the increase of offensive players will inevitably lead to the decrease of defensive players, the final is no better than a home and away knockout match. As long as you make a mistake, it will be a land of eternal doom.
No team was as lucky as last season's Champions League champion Chelsea. The only corner kick at the end of the game led to an equalizer. Such a plot can only appear in novels and movies.
Klopp didn't mean to change his tactical intentions, but Tang Zheng always wanted to change the situation on the field.
He knows that the head coach Klopp has offensive blood in his bones, and he chose to defend because this is the most important game in Klopp's coaching career so far, and there is no room for negligence.
If you can score a goal without violating Klopp's defensive will, I believe you won't say anything.
After all, this is also considered to be subject to foreign military orders.

In the twenty-fourth minute, Cristiano Ronaldo, who came to the left again, took advantage of his teammate's running position to gain a short space and chose to complete a long shot before Tang Zheng's defense was in place.
Due to the rush of the shot, the football went wide of the goal post.
The Borussia Dortmund fans behind the goal looked delighted as they let out a deafening roar of laughter as they jeered at Cristiano Ronaldo's volley.
The broadcast camera quickly found Cristiano Ronaldo spitting on the grass to vent his little dissatisfaction.
At the same time, without many people noticing, Tang Zheng found Gundogan and Hummels during the gap between goalkeeper Weidenfeller looking for the ball boy, and briefly told them that the next possible scene that appears.
To put it bluntly, it is a subtle modification of the game tactics carefully formulated by the head coach Klopp before the game.
Hummels is easy to say, he has the best relationship with Tang Zheng in private, not to mention on the court, only Gundogan gave Tang Zheng a suspicious look.
Therefore, the only person Tang Zheng needs to persuade is Jing Duoan.
Hummels listened in, Tang Zheng put his right hand on Gundogan's right shoulder, and made a long story short: "I know what you are worried about, but you have to know that change is the only way to change the outcome of the game. We have been familiar with it for so long. There is no way to make a fuss about each other's offensive and defensive routines here, so you have to listen to me and tell me... When did I let you take the blame? It seems that I have been wiping your ass all this time?"
After finishing speaking, Tang Zheng patted Jing Duoan lightly,
Gundogan smiled awkwardly. Since he joined Dortmund, he has made many small mistakes and big mistakes in the game.
As Tang Zheng said, Tang Zheng wiped his ass a lot.
This love has to be reported!
After Hummels and Gundogan are done, Tang Zheng believes that the next problems will be solved easily.
Although Tang Zheng pulled Hummels and Gundogan to say something, many fans didn't notice it, but the coaches of both sides saw it.
Klopp frowned, he didn't know what trick Tang Zheng had in the game.
Can't guess!
Mourinho also frowned, but he was more worried about the unknown.
There is no need to prove anything about Tang Zheng's ability now, a midfielder who can contribute 11 goals and 8 assists in 12 UEFA Champions League matches proves that he is extremely offensive.
Coupled with the double 20+ in the Bundesliga this season, it all proves that Tang Zheng is extremely harmful to his own defense.
But it's still in the guessing stage, Mourinho doesn't know what Tang Zheng said to Hummels and Gundogan, so he can only adapt accordingly.
Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng, whom Klopp and Mourinho were always paying attention to, did not change at all, and he was still playing according to the previous rhythm of the game.
Active running, focusing on defense, offense never enters the offensive 30-meter zone.
As time slowly came to thirty minutes, Klopp and Mourinho's attention shifted.
Even Khedira, who was specially instructed by head coach Mourinho before the game, shifted his defensive attention. He began to pay more attention to the activities of his national teammate Gotze.
But Tang Zheng's transformation had only just begun!
