Chapter 113 The Chinese Can Also Influence the Champions League Final

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

Real Madrid fans at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev were full of passion, dancing and expressing the excitement caused by Benzema's goal.

Many Liverpool fans held their heads with their hands, looking incredulous, but there were also many Liverpool fans who raised their arms in the air and faced the referee Milorad Mazic. In their understanding, Benzema had committed a foul.

In fact?

Not really!

Liverpool coach Klopp, who is familiar with the rules of football competition, shook his head helplessly and did not put pressure on the fourth official like the players on the field surrounding the referee Milorad Mazic because it was Karius. mistakes.

Being young always comes with a price.

It's just...the price is a bit high.

Liverpool captain Henderson was very excited when he tried to persuade the referee Milorad Mazic. PPTV commentator Zhan Jun was trembling while watching. Fortunately, Milorad Mazic was very patient and did not directly confront him. The protesting Liverpool captain was shown a yellow card and instead explained.

Through slow-motion replay, the commentator in the on-site commentary box also used his profound knowledge to explain to the fans in front of the TV that after all, the goalkeeper's hand-thrown ball is intercepted very rarely in the football field, and the frequency is not at all as high as the interception of the big-footed goal kick. So fans’ awareness is limited.

Commentators are different. They must know the rules of football very well, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the audience.

As Central 5 commentator He Wei said, goalkeeper Karius was no longer effectively controlling the ball, and he completely threw the football with his right hand.

The rules of football competition clearly stipulate that the goalkeeper's effective control of the ball refers to the moment when the goalkeeper hits the ball with his hand or throws the football upward with his wide kick.

Obviously, it was Karius himself who made the fatal mistake.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were desperate. They put their heads in their hands and looked confused.

But there are also many active fans who have experienced the thrilling Champions League final in the 2004-2005 season. At that time, Liverpool's overall strength was not as good as the final opponent AC Milan. What happened in the end?

Trailing by three goals in the first half, AC Milan was even heard celebrating the victory in the locker room early during the halftime break. Didn't the result be three goals in a row within nine minutes?

The last laugh?

The greatest charm of football matches is that they are full of uncertainty. Strength does not represent the result. There are too many cases of the weak defeating the strong in world football.

as expected!

Liverpool, which was lagging behind, caught up in the restart of the game. Lu Liang, who was in a good position, was able to get the ball and compete with Nacho one-on-one. His continuous breakthroughs caused Real Madrid's overall defense to lean towards their right side.

Once again, he pretended to go down and deceived Nacho and Casemiro to tilt their center of gravity towards the baseline. Lu Liang stopped on the spot, took the ball back with the outside of his right foot, and then passed the ball. Firmino grabbed it before Ramo. After completing the header in front of Si, Mane, who was ambushing at the back point, was very alert and stepped in front of Marcelo with his instep. Goalkeeper Navas made a save, but he could only declare that he was out of reach in the face of the close shot. …

Everyone thought that Real Madrid would break the deadlock with Karius' gift package and then take control of the game. No one thought that Liverpool would equalize the score only five minutes after falling behind.

This...is a huge boost to Liverpool's momentum.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The Liverpool fans in the stands were particularly excited, as if they were witnessing a great reversal.

The expressions of Zidane and Klopp who appeared on the broadcast screen made a 180-degree turn. Zidane changed from relaxed to worried, while Klopp breathed a sigh of relief. For him, a draw means Take the opportunity.

The Liverpool he coached lacked a soul core like Tang Zheng.

There is no need to play against the wind at all. A draw allows players to relax and not worry too much about the outcome of the game, allowing them to perform at a higher level.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid took the lead in making substitution adjustments. James Rodriguez replaced Casemiro. Tang Zheng retreated and the formation changed to 433.

Some commentators don't quite understand Zidane's adjustments, because Liverpool's offense is very strong, and it is not cost-effective to replace a defensive midfielder with an offensive player. After all, Modric and Toni Kroos are better at what they do. Be offensive rather than defensive.

However, when Tang Zheng moved further back than Modric and Toni Kroos, the commentators understood that Zidane's tactical intention was to organize the attack with Tang Zheng at the back and move Modric and Toni Kroos Cross took turns pushing to the attacking midfielder position.

In this way, Tang Zheng can make reasonable use of his strong defensive ability, and can also look forward to the rich fruits that Tang Zheng will bring when he joins the attack from behind.

※※※

Real Madrid made their second substitution adjustment of the game, but Klopp's Liverpool did not make any targeted arrangements. However, considering the strength of Liverpool's bench players, it is understandable why Klopp stayed put.

Tang Zheng's retreat to the defensive midfield position can ensure the safety of the football when the team attacks. He can protect the space when switching from offense to defense, perfectly performing the duties of a defensive midfielder.

Central 5 commentator He Wei laughed and said: "Tang Zheng started out as a defensive midfielder, but in recent seasons he has rarely played this position, especially since Zidane became the head coach of Real Madrid. He has played more as a frontline midfielder. Midfielder, I didn’t expect to be able to appear in this position again and still be outstanding. The all-round midfielder really deserves his reputation!”

Commentator Xu Yang nodded lightly: "Tang Zheng can be called a miracle in world football. He can defend with one man, and attack with one sword. Looking at the history of world football, there is really no better all-rounder than him." Midfield!”

The comments of He Wei and Xu Yang may be considered compliments in the ears of some fans, but in fact they are not, because Tang Zheng's data on both offense and defense can prove himself.

This is also the reason why Tang Zheng is the hottest player in every summer transfer window!

As long as the team's lineup is not weak, with Tang Zheng joining the team, they can definitely join the competition!

Just look at Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid in the past for the answer.

Closer to home, Real Madrid has made substitution adjustments to re-stabilize the situation. Tang Zheng, who serves as a defensive midfielder, can use his outstanding vision to determine the team's offensive direction and method, thus continuously threatening Liverpool's defense.

Klopp, who was still looking confident at first, could no longer stand. He frequently walked to the edge of the visiting team coach's command area and gave orders to the players on the field to solve the team's defense.

But... how can the players put so much thought on the sidelines?

They must ensure 100% concentration on the game, otherwise it will be a fatal blow!

Klopp saw Tang Zheng continuously controlling the ball in front of the central defender. His eyes lit up, and he took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to pull Lu Liang to explain.

It has to be said that Klopp's on-the-spot observation ability is outstanding, but Tang Zheng's dribbling and ball-controlling abilities are really impressive. Facing the three-man double-team of Lu Liang, Firmino and Mane, he can still use his body and Technology keeps control of football.

Finally, Mane got the ball and was about to counterattack on the spot, but he heard the whistle of the referee Milorad Mazic.

"Beautiful!" Central 5 commentator He Wei was full of enthusiasm: "Tang Zheng's ball protection ability is among the best in the world. Want to steal the ball? It doesn't exist!"

Lu Liang, Firmino and Mane once again tried to intercept Tang Zheng, who controlled the ball on the right side of the center circle, through a three-man crowd, and counterattacked on the spot.

However, Tang Zheng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He stepped on the football's right foot and pulled the football back. The football just passed between the legs of Firmino, who was rushing towards him.

Immediately, Tang Zheng completed a 90-degree turn to the right behind Lu Liang's body, and stepped on the football with his right foot at the center of the arc.

Firmino was very depressed and pounced on Tang Zheng again, but Tang Zheng did not stick to the ball this time. He passed the ball to central defender Varane with the outside of his right foot and at the same time directed Varane with gestures to pass the ball to Marcelo. The left side of the attack is developing.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

At the same time, huge cheers from Real Madrid fans rang out over the Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

The defensive attention of the Liverpool defenders tended to be on the right side of their own defense. Not many people noticed that Tang Zheng, who was originally staying behind Modric and Toni Kroos, did not stay where he was, but ran forward.

The positions of Modric and Toni Kroos changed from parallel to deep, filling the space left by Tang Zheng's forward penetration.

"Watch out Don!"

Klopp immediately noticed that Tang Zheng was advancing, but the fanatical atmosphere at the Kiev Olympic Stadium was still there, and the players' attention was on the court, so Klopp's reminder could not reach the ears of the players at all.

It wasn't until Tang Zheng reached the top of the penalty area that Liverpool captain Henderson noticed Tang Zheng.

Clearly, he was surprised.

Why did Tang Zheng intervene here?

By the time Henderson realized that he had to defend Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng had already bypassed him and entered the penalty area. However, he saw that both Lovren and Van Dijk were in defensive positions, and there was only Benzema in the penalty area, and there was no one in Tang Zheng. Zheng pulled the jersey behind him, paused, and chose to follow Tang Zheng into the penalty area to prevent Tang Zheng from catching the ball in the penalty area.

Real Madrid attacked the left wing. Marcelo, James Rodriguez and Modric used continuous passes and runs to win passing space for James Rodriguez. James Rodriguez swung Cross from left foot.

Van Dijk concentrated on defending Benzema in the penalty area, while Lovren clung to Tang Zheng who entered the penalty area without hesitation.

Tang Zheng, who was being pressed by Lovren, consciously leaned back with his back, and just as James Rodriguez swung his left foot, Lovren thought that Tang Zheng was going to counter offside and chose to take the initiative to retreat.

At this moment, the football flew towards the front of the penalty area. Tang Zheng suddenly braked on the spot and saw the incoming football. With his back to the goal, he took a big step forward, landed with his left foot and kicked the ground hard, leaning back his upper body. The whole person then jumped into the air, swinging his right foot from back to front, and kicked the football hard with the instep.

Henderson quickly approached Tang Zheng to put pressure. Lovren, who was tricked by Tang Zheng into retreating early, took a small step forward and jumped high, preparing to use his body to block Tang Zheng's shot.

In addition, Van Dyke also jumped forward.

"J Luo made a pass..." The CC5 commentator saw Tang Zheng in the penalty area leaning back with his upper body and swinging his left foot from back to front. He subconsciously supported the commentary table with his hands and stood up suddenly, shouting: "The golden hook is hanging upside down! !”

The football flew over the head of the jumping Lovren and quickly flew to the upper left corner of the goal.

Van Dijk, who jumped back, turned his head to look at the football and pinned his hopes entirely on goalkeeper Karius. After all, Karius's performance has been remarkable so far in the game except for that mistake.

But... Tang Zheng's upside-down golden hook was very powerful, and the angle was very tricky.

Karius's vision was also disturbed to some extent. He reacted very quickly in front of the goal. Unfortunately, Tang Zheng's shot was very close and had good angle and power. He had limited power to use when he jumped on the spot, and his right arm stretched out hard. The ball missed the ball and flew into the blind corner of the goal while grazing the left goal post and crashing into the snow-white net...

"Goooooooooooooooooal——"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray couldn't help but draw out his voice.

"Wow~wow~wow~~"

Central 5 commentator He Wei was in high spirits and shouted almost crazily: "This ball should only exist in the sky, how can we hear it in the world? It's so beautiful! Tang Zheng! It's a world wave!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

In the fanatical atmosphere, the commentator Xu Yang also fell into extreme excitement and was in high spirits: "Oh~ so beautiful! Tang Zheng scored an earth-shattering upside-down golden hook in the Champions League final! Incredible goal!!"

"Maybe... maybe if Tang Zheng kicks her a hundred times, she won't get kicked in again! It's so beautiful!"

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, did not expect that his sudden choice would be so beautiful, so he was extremely excited. He quickly stood up with his hands on the turf, then opened his arms and bent down to avoid the hugs of Benzema and Bale. He ran all the way to the corner flag on the right side of the offense and started sliding and kneeling to celebrate.

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——"

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were very excited at this moment, dancing and expressing the surging feeling in their hearts, and elongated their voices.

British Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor looked intoxicated: "Don once again told us what a superstar performance is! At over 1.9 meters tall, he actually made moves in the penalty area that a 1.7-meter player can do, and he did so smoothly. , full of viewing pleasure!”

Standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, Zidane took a deep breath and raised his arms and shouted, releasing the huge pressure.

In sharp contrast is Liverpool coach Klopp. Mane's goal has just equalized the score, and now Real Madrid has exceeded the score. Who will step forward next to help the team equalize the score?

Klopp looked back at the bench and found that there were no players available to adjust.

In the final analysis, the bench is still not deep enough.

Last summer I bought Salah by scratching a lottery ticket, so...will I still get a lottery ticket this summer?

Of course, the current situation is in crisis, and Klopp has no extra thoughts about next season. What he needs to solve now is the team's equalizer.

But Klopp's worries did not last long. In the 69th minute, Liverpool switched from defense to attack, and the ball quickly passed from Firmino's feet to Lu Liang's feet on the left side of the attack.

Lu Liang knew that his troops were very fast. Facing Nacho's defense, he pretended to go to the baseline, then suddenly used the outside instep of his right foot to push the ball to the right. The right rib of the attack was about 28 meters away from the goal. Mi Chu raised his right foot.

A sudden cold arrow!

It was too late for Tang Zheng to come over to defend, so he turned his head and paid attention.

The football drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, bypassed the outstretched right arm of Navas who flew to save, and hit the upper right corner of the goal...

2:2! !

"Oh~"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's emotions broke out again, and he was even more excited than when Tang Zheng scored the world wave: "The goal is scored! Another world wave! Lu Liang helped the passive Liverpool equalize the score again! The Chinese can influence the Champions League final! Tang Zheng can do it! Lu Liang can do it too!"
