Chapter 104 Cover
With the exciting Champions League theme song "-League" playing at the Allianz Arena, the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-finals, Bayern renting a venue to face Real Madrid, is getting closer and closer.
The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena were full of passion, and the fanatical atmosphere of the Champions League match swept the entire stadium. Coupled with the Tifo show carefully arranged by Bayern fans, it gave people a feeling of optimism and positivity.
Therefore, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif laughed and said: "The 0:1 away defeat left Bayern Munich with great hope of promotion. Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid 4:1 at home in the Champions League semifinals last season. Madrid, the Champions League semi-finals came to the Allianz Arena again after a season. The home fans cheered the home team in their own way and put pressure on the visiting team. Personally, I hope Bayern Munich advances to the Champions League final, but I think..."
Just as the broadcast screen showed Tang Zheng walking into the stadium, Marcel Leif changed his voice: "I don't think Tang will agree easily. He has scored a total of sixteen goals against Bayern Munich in the past. Before the weekend, he also assisted Karim Benzema to score! This game is very worth looking forward to!"
At the same time, huge boos erupted from the Allianz Arena: "Woooooooo-"
Central 5 commentator He Wei, who was introducing the relationship between Bayern and Real Madrid, shook his head when he heard the boos and said: "It seems that Bayern fans don't have deep opinions on Tang Zheng, but I think Bayern fans should stop it. Tang Zheng in this stadium He receives this special 'welcome' every time, but the boos never affect Tang Zheng's performance on the court, but instead arouse his inner desire to fight."
New Wolf Sports commentator Zhan Jun also said: "The most watched player in this game between Bayern and Real Madrid is undoubtedly Tang Zheng, but is this approach of Bayern fans the best? Audience friends sitting in front of the computer You can refer to the results of the last four seasons at the Allianz Arena, no wins!"
British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned his head and looked at his old partner Martin Taylor meaningfully: "Hey, old man, I think you should say something?"
"..."
Martin Taylor gave Andy Gray a roll of his eyes, but he immediately added: "Bayern Munich fans use this extreme method to try to influence and anger Don, but I think their approach is very childish. Don has proven that he is the world One of the best players who led Dortmund to an unbeaten record at the Allianz Arena, is he still affected by boos?"
At this point, Martin Taylor's voice rose an octave and said loudly: "Indeed, there will be effects, but these effects are positive, so... I look forward to the expressions of Bayern Munich fans after ninety minutes, how sad they are. …”
The broadcast screen moved from Tang Zheng to Cristiano Ronaldo, and the boos dropped to a minimum. Michael Reti, the commentator of German TV 2, was still very worried: "The destructive ability of 'Bayern's nemesis' Tang is obvious to all.
Of course the home fans booed to help the home team Bayern Munich, but in many cases good intentions can lead to bad things. "

"CCTV, CCTV, the game broadcast live for you now is the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-finals between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid at home. The person wearing a white jersey and white long johns is the visiting Real Madrid. They started from The right side of the camera attacks to the left..."
Following the whistle of English referee Webb, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei said the traditional CCTV commentary opening remarks.
The starting lineups of both sides of the game have changed compared to the first round. Guest Real Madrid left-back Coentrao replaced Marcelo, who had an injured soleus muscle, and Isco replaced Modric.
Bayern's lineup changes are obviously based on the failure example of the first round. Captain Lahm returned to the right back to replace Raphinha. Toni Kroos, who served as the attacking midfielder in the first round, dropped back to partner Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller. Play midfielder from the center.
To be precise, Muller plays as the second forward, a sharp knife hidden behind Mandzukic.
As a guest, Real Madrid took the lead and the ball quickly came to the feet of Tang Zheng, who was the defensive midfielder in this game.
Before the game, Ancelotti did not want to use Tang Zheng as the defensive midfielder, but the dual defensive midfielder combination of Modric and Xavi Alonso was not reassuring, so he made the final choice after careful consideration.
Tang Zheng's running ability, ability to read the game and sense of responsibility enable him to well complete the relevant tasks assigned by the head coach before the game. Moreover, playing as a guest at the Allianz Arena is definitely not better than playing at home. When playing as a guest, he should choose to defend and counterattack in a low-key manner.
After the football came to Tang Zheng's feet, he did not quickly distribute the ball to the wing. Instead, he pulled the ball with his right foot and turned to face his own goal, then paused consciously.
Mandzukic and Thomas Muller didn't think too much. Losing in the away game put huge pressure on them, so when they saw that Tang Zheng didn't pass the ball, they looked at each other, and then pounced left and right in a very tacit understanding. Go up.
"Ouch-ouch——"
The Bayern fans in the stands made huge cheers and cheered for Mandzukic and Muller.
"Watch your back!"
Ramos opened the angle to give Tang Zheng a passing angle, and at the same time shouted a reminder.
However, Tang Zheng seemed to have eyes behind his back. Half a second before Muller went from behind his left side to parallel, he suddenly pulled the ball with his right foot and pulled the ball to the back left.
Muller was originally prepared to cooperate with Mandzukic to complete the frontcourt counterattack and then counterattack on the spot, but he did not expect that Tang Zheng would pull the ball between his legs as soon as he stepped out with his right foot.
By the time Muller tried to withdraw his right foot, it was too late. He could only watch the football roll past his crotch.
Mandzukic reacted quickly and reached out to pull Tang Zheng down.
But Tang Zheng was already prepared. He raised his left arm while turning around, just in time to block Mandzukic's left hand that wanted to pull someone away.
At this point, Mandzukic did not commit the foul and was pulled by Tang Zheng and turned around to break through.
Immediately, the fanatical atmosphere at the Allianz Stadium decreased, allowing the Real Madrid fans from afar to show their presence and create huge cheers: "Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——"
"The home team Bayern's formation is still the usual four-two-three formation, but the starting lineup has changed..."
Central 5 commentator He Wei was still introducing the home team Bayern's starting lineup. After seeing Tang Zheng's beautiful pass through the crotch, he changed his voice and shouted: "Beautiful pass through the crotch! This scene seems like we have returned to During his years at Dortmund, he demonstrated his outstanding skills at the Allianz Arena time and time again!"
The huge cheers made by the Real Madrid fans were quickly suppressed by the huge boos made by the Bayern fans who reacted in less than a second: "Woooooh——"
Tang Zheng didn't pay attention to the sounds coming from the sidelines. He turned around and quickly handed the ball to Isco in front of him, who then passed it to Cristiano Ronaldo who was open on the left to receive the ball.
Faced with Lahm's marking, Chris wanted to beat Ronaldo but did not choose to break through. He turned and handed it to compatriot Coentrao.
Before the game, head coach Carlo Ancelotti had made targeted arrangements. In positional offense, insurance passes should be chosen as much as possible and not too many diagonal passes and direct passes.
After all, the speed of Robben and Ribery on the wing cannot be underestimated.
Coupled with away games, there is always nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.
※※※
Real Madrid's first attack did not result in a shot. After the football was passed to the right, Carvajal passed the baseline under the pressure of Alaba.
Goalkeeper Neuer took a short goal kick. Real Madrid did not implement high pressure, but only left Cristiano Ronaldo at the front. The other nine players returned to their own half to defend, with heavy troops deployed in the middle and ribs. department.
The advantage of Kroos partnering with Bastian Schweinsteiger is that he distributes the ball more timely. Compared with Lahm who pays more attention to defense, Kroos has his own experience in rhythm control, long passes and long shots, so Bayern's offense at home is Looks extremely threatening.
However, Real Madrid obviously did their homework before the game. Xavi Alonso stood in front of the two central defenders and Tang Zheng helped defend the two ribs. When necessary, he even shrank to the bottom line to help defend.
At the beginning, Robben and Ribery were still courageous and looked confident. They frequently used their excellent foot skills and speed to test Real Madrid's defensive capabilities on the two wings. However, as Tang Zheng strengthened his control over the two wings, In defense, whether it is Robben or Ribery, it is difficult to find opportunities on the wing.
When the wing was unable to open a gap, Bayern head coach Guardiola took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to make a tactically intentional gesture towards Kroos on the sidelines.
"What exactly is the change?"
Ancelotti noticed Guardiola's gesture, but didn't know what it meant.
Soon, Ancelotti realized what Guardiola's tactical gesture was.
Strengthen the penetration in the middle!
Regarding this point, Ancelotti also gave key instructions before the game, so there was no problem with the defense. Tang Zheng even sent a very accurate long pass during the transition from defense to offense.
Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to find a suitable shooting opportunity against the defense of Lahm and Boateng, and in the end the fast break had to turn into a positional attack.
Tang Zheng did not press forward significantly due to the distance. He was worried that pressing forward would bring huge defensive pressure to Xavi Alonso, so he maintained his position well.
After all, the total score is still 1:0 for Real Madrid, so there is no need to worry.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes have passed in the first half of the game.
It's just that the quality of these ten minutes was not good. It seemed that Bayern was leading the attack, and Real Madrid also counterattacked vigorously, but there was not a single shot that hit the goal range.
Ancelotti remained motionless, but Guardiola looked very anxious.
From time to time, he stood in front of the home team coach and paced back and forth, and from time to time he turned his head to communicate with his assistants, and then made body movements with obvious tactical intentions towards the players on the court.
The first shot that hit the goal in the game came from Real Madrid, and it was completed by Tang Zheng, who Bayern fans were most worried about.
In the fourteenth minute, Real Madrid's quick counterattack in the frontcourt failed, but Cristiano Ronaldo got a long shot opportunity. His shot hit the leg of Boateng who stretched his leg to block the ball and flew out of the baseline for a corner kick.
Isco took a corner kick. Tang Zheng jumped up high in front of the penalty area and beat Boateng and Mandzukic to finish the goal. Neuer was fully prepared and his position was also very good. He blocked the ball with one palm. The bottom line shocked the home fans into a cold sweat.
With this dangerous situation, Bayern players paid more attention to Tang Zheng's activities in the next corner kick defense.
as expected!
Tang Zheng grabbed the spot again, but this time due to Dante's interference, he failed to hit the ball and his header missed the left post of the goal.
The game continued and the frenetic atmosphere at the Allianz Arena remained the same as the football was back at the feet of the Bayern players, who controlled the tempo of the game.
Although the game has not created an absolute scoring opportunity so far, Bayern fans are not in a hurry. They firmly believe that Bayern, which controls the rhythm, can use the next game to equalize the score until they overtake!
Why?
The best evidence of this season's Bundesliga success!
Tang Zheng has a heavy defensive task in the next game, and he is rarely seen on the offensive end. He is more responsible for controlling the rhythm, transferring and distributing the ball.
In the 18th minute of the game, Tang Zheng, with the cooperation of Isco and Di Maria, successfully intercepted the ball from Muller's feet, and Real Madrid switched from defense to offense.
Bayern did a good job in high-post pressing. They immediately put pressure on the ball holder and the teammates around the ball holder. By the time the ball was taken out, Bayern's main defensive players had already returned to their positions, and Real Madrid had to change from a quick counterattack to a defensive one. Attack in position.
Tang Zheng received the ball from Carvajal on the right side of his own center circle. Without waiting for Muller to come forward, he directly passed the ball to Di Maria, who was attacking on the right.
The passing force and angle are both good, but Di Maria stops the ball too far away from his body, and Alaba takes the lead and pokes the ball out of the baseline.
Corner kick!
Perhaps Tang Zheng's first two corner kicks posed a threat to Neuer's goal. Bayern head coach Guardiola rarely came to the sidelines and shouted: "Pay attention to Tang!"
Originally, the attention of most Real Madrid players was inclined to Tang Zheng, but now with the special instructions from head coach Guardiola, the attention is more inclined to Tang Zheng.
Goalkeeper Neuer raised his eyebrows, and while directing his teammates to defend the corner kick, he reminded: "Pay attention to other Real Madrid players, Sergio and Karim must watch!"
At this moment, Isco took an offensive corner kick from the right.
Neuer stood with his feet in the middle of the goal line, pacing in place, and then watched the football fly towards the penalty area with an obvious inner arc.
Since the area in front of the goal and between where the football landed was blocked by players from both sides, Neuer had no chance to attack and pick up the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in the front line, looked at the height of the football and gave up the header. Tang Zheng, who was near the penalty spot, held Boateng and Mandzukic and prepared to take off.
Dante noticed from the corner of his eye that his partners Boateng and Mandzukic were suppressed and unable to take off. He chose to give up Ramos, then moved forward, reached out and tugged on the jersey behind Tang Zheng.
But... Tang Zheng had no intention of taking off. Instead, he grinned and grabbed Dante's jersey with his backhand, causing him to lose the best opportunity to take off.
For a moment, Dante was shocked.
Because according to the flight path of the football, the landing point is the area where he was sitting just now.
Could it be?
Is it a cover?
Immediately, Dante turned his head and saw Ramos leaping high and then the football falling down on his forehead...
