Chapter 363: Three-Goal Lead
Tang Zheng's right foot swing was not small, but the power was enough, and the ball flew past the rib cage on the right side of Sanchez's upper body, and then there was an outside arc in mid-air that flew clearly from the outside to the inside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Baltra was ready to complement Sanchez and prevent Tang Zheng from breaking through the ribs into the box.
The idea is good, but it's a pity that Tang Zheng chose to cross with the outside of his right foot.
By the time Bartra realized that it was too late for Tang Zheng to choose to pass the ball, all he could do was turn his head to look behind the side as the ball moved.
Goalkeeper Valdés was in an awkward position, standing on the left side of the small penalty line, and he didn't know whether to attack or continue to stand in front of goal.
In the flash of light, he missed the best opportunity to strike.
Baltra turned his head to look, just in time to see a yellow-black figure rushing ahead of Pique, and he was immediately shocked.
The same mentality is Valdés, who realizes that he missed the perfect opportunity to save the team!
"Robert Lewandowski!!"
German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti shouted.
"Whew-"
At the same time, the frenetic atmosphere at Westphar Lun Stadium suddenly heated up, and there were deafening loud cheers.
The Dortmund fans behind the goal saw it particularly clearly, Lewandowski jumped up on his knees during the run, leaned forward with his upper body, and flew towards Tang Zheng's ball on the left rib.
What Pique can do can only look up, Tang Zheng's passing is very accurate, it is simply tailor-made for Lewandowski.
Valdés stood still, watching Lewandowski's dive and pounce on the near corner.
However, when Lewandowski completed the dive and jumped to the top, he immediately regretted it, because Lewandowski's top ball was not in the near corner, but in the far corner!
Valdés, who pounced on the near corner, had despair in his eyes......
The ball flew in the opposite direction of Valdés' pounce and slammed headlong into the snow-white net.
Tang Zheng, who was still standing on the left side of the attack, instantly raised his arms and ran towards Lewandowski.
Lewandowski, who scored the goal, scored twice, and he was so excited that he used his hands and feet together to get up from the ground.
But within two steps of his step, Tang Zheng was thrown to the ground behind him, just like Tang Zheng did when he opened the scoring.
"Beautiful!!Awesome!!"
Tang Zheng lay on Lewandowski's back and said excitedly.
The other teammates were like Tang Zheng, one after another.
The live guide gave the Dortmund players who celebrated the goal, and quickly gave a replay of the entire slow-motion replay.
From Tang Zheng's wonderful pull ball turn to Lewandowski's leap to the top, it looks smooth and very ornamental.
"3:0! Dortmund leads Barcelona by three goals at home!" Therefore, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was passionate: "This is a direct clash of technical football, but Dortmund's cooperation is obviously better than Barcelona! There are more than 20 minutes left in the game, I can be absolutely sure! Dortmund is likely to return to the Champions League final after 15 years!"
Yang 5 commentator He Wei's comments this time are relatively fair, he said: "Lewandowski is a very comprehensive player, from his last goal strategy, passing and running is not difficult to see, the league goals are like hemp, now the Champions League semi-finals first leg scored twice, helping Dortmund lead Barcelona 3:0 at home, it seems that both teams from La Liga have encountered varying degrees of difficulties, last night Real Madrid lost 1:4 to Bayern Munich, tonight Barcelona 0:3 defeat Dortmund?"
The Polish national TV commentator was thrilled: "This is our best Robert Lewandowski! His goal gave Dortmund a three-goal lead at home, which had a positive effect on Dortmund's qualification for this season's Champions League final!"
Immediately, the broadcast camera was shown to the away team's coach's box.
Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola stood there stunned, his hands in his pockets, his eyes blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing the away team's bench from the camera, the players' expressions were not good-looking, and they hid their faces with their hands.
At the other end, in front of the Dortmund bench, manager Jurgen Klopp jumped three feet high on the spot, raised his arms and shouted.
With Robert Lewandowski scoring his third goal of the game, the team will have a 3-0 lead over Barcelona in the Cosmos.
If this score continues to the end of the game, the second leg to the Camp Nou can be walked away!
After 15 years, the feeling of reaching the Champions League final is incomparable!
The Dortmund substitutes in the warm-up area hugged and celebrated, feeling the great joy of the goal.
※※※
The Dortmund fans at the Westphá Lun Stadium were plunged into great happiness and a sense of excitement and pride from the depths of their hearts.
Last night, Bayern defeated Real Madrid 4-1 at home and almost half of their feet into this season's Champions League final.
Therefore, Bayern fans are quite excited, even excessive.
Now Dortmund leads Barcelona 3-0 at home, compared to Bayern conceding a goal at home, Dortmund clearly have the advantage in the scoreline.
Dortmund fans are sincerely proud to be the only team not to lose in the Champions League this season.
Although this goal was not scored by Tang Zheng, the pass was completed by Tang Zheng.
Moreover, a series of necessary processes before scoring goals are directly related to Tang Zheng, and it can even be said that without Tang Zheng's wonderful pulling and turning, there would be no follow-up plot.
The last shot of the live broadcast was given to the Barcelona players on the field, and the first thing to look for was naturally the superstar Leo Messi!
Barcelona's inaction on the road is directly related to Messi's sluggish form.
The game of two tens, one heavenly and one underground.
Tang Zheng contributed one goal and two assists.
And Messi, with no goals and no assists, didn't even make a breakthrough that made people shine.
This kind of Messi is not the Messi everyone is familiar with.
The Catalan TV commentator said in a rather low tone: "There is no way back for Barcelona, after three goals from home, Josep's team must score away goals, and Leao must find his best form as soon as possible, otherwise he will continue to miss the Champions League final this season......"
The rest of the squad was no better, with Busquez with his hands on his hips, Xavi and Iniesta covering their faces with their jerseys, and Valdés still lying on the ground.
Sanchez was in a mixed mood, and he watched his former friend Tang Zheng improve so quickly.
Yourself, standing still.
How can the difference be so big?
The Barcelona fans in the stands looked particularly disappointed in the frenzied atmosphere of the stadium, their expressions were no different from Guardiola's, and they clearly had not recovered from the reality of being three goals behind.
Lewandowski scored a huge number of goals, and the home fans in the stands rang out cheers under the leadership of live announcer Norbert Darker.
※※※
In Paris, Ibrahimovic shook his head as he watched the Dortmund players celebrating their goals on the TV screen.
It is undeniable that Pep Guardiola paid so much attention to Messi that Ibrahimovic left Barcelona, and he did not like Barcelona from the bottom of his heart.
Now that Barcelona are 3-0 down, he has compassion again.
After all, these people given by the live director are all former teammates, and some friendship has arisen.
When a friend is hurt by this kind of humiliation, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable in his heart.
※※※
The game restarted, and Messi did not move forward as soon as he got the ball, but passed it back.
After a few consecutive passes, the football reached Messi's feet again, but Messi's desire to attack forward was much lower than before.
faced Tang Zheng in front of him, Messi chose to avoid and pass the ball out.
Only Sanchez will choose to move forward after getting the ball, but Sanchez is limited after all, he is not a player like Messi who can complete five levels and six generals with his individual ability, so the Barcelona players who are three goals behind seem to have lost their confidence in the game.
Guardiola was a little unwilling, and he glanced at the bench.
Cesc Fabregas is a big-man player who can come off the bench when it matters most.
But for whom?
With Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets all in midfield, Sanchez is an option to adjust, but the problem is that he is in great form at the moment and arguably the most active attacking player in the entire Barcelona offensive line at the moment.
As the game continues on the pitch, Pep Guardiola is thinking about how to make the second adjustment of the game.
Klopp's choice is much quicker and more subtle than Guardiola's.
In the 69th minute, Shaheen replaced Sven Bender.
For Dortmund's substitution adjustment, many commentators said they didn't understand.
It stands to reason that the most important thing for Dortmund to lead by three goals is to defend solidly and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Sven Bender is a defensive player, and Shaheen can play both offensively and defensively.
It's good to have both offense and defense, but having both also means it's hard to get the job done on both fronts.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei expressed his doubts: "Why does Klopp use Shahin? If you have to adjust, I think the alignment adjustment will be better, Sven Bender's ability on the defensive end can not be ignored, after all, Barcelona has no way back after three goals, and will definitely press out to attack when the time comes, Shahin has been out of battle for a long time, Sven Bender's defensive awareness is what Dortmund needs most." ”
German Sky commentator Marcel Leif also has his own opinion: "Jurgen's substitutions are very brave, and he continues to strengthen the attack despite a three-goal lead, which is commendable, but this is the Champions League semi-final, and the aggregate score of the two legs determines the final place to qualify, would it be better to be conservative?"
However, British Sky commentator Andy Gray was cunning and praised Klopp's substitution: "According to the regular substitution adjustment, Dortmund, who are leading by three goals, should indeed strengthen their defense, but don't forget...... In the past, Barcelona controlled the game because of possession, strengthening the defense is tantamount to giving away possession, I believe that with Barcelona's super ability, it will definitely find the Dortmund backline, I have to say, Jurgen Klopp is a young coach with a lot of ideas!
While Shaheen conveyed Klopp's latest tactical ideas, Guardiola couldn't help but turn his head to look at Klopp.
Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, turned his head to look at the visitors' coaching area.
The two looked at each other, and Klopp grinned, revealing his neat but not white teeth.
Pep Guardiola rolled his eyes and turned to look back at the pitch.
However, he has a very complicated heart, and Shahin's introduction adds to Dortmund's midfield control, which is equivalent to saying that Barcelona's pressure from attack to defense is more difficult.
Even from a defensive point of view, Shahin, Gundogan and Tang Zheng all have certain defensive ability, and they do not suffer at all against Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.
The midfield line of Shaheen, Gundogan and Tang Zheng proved to be no worse defensively than Sven Bender's time.
Of course, this has something to do with Tang Zheng's position adjustment.
Jurgen Klopp must have thought about defending when he sent Shahin, and he let Tang Zheng's position drop back a little, and Gundogan and Shaheen took turns forward, which means that Tang Zheng dropped back to play the defensive midfielder left by Sven Bender.
In this way, the midfield control can be maintained while the defense can be strengthened.
In the blink of an eye, the game time came to seventy-five minutes, which is the physical critical point.
Whether it is Borussia Dortmund or Barcelona, they have participated in the most representations in each league.
The domestic league, the domestic cup, the Champions League, and the three-line battles are often in the stage of double matches in a week, so the physical consumption of the main players is very severe.
With less and less time and the score still 3-0, Guardiola had no choice.
Among the players chosen, Guardiola did not choose the in-form Sanchez, but full-back Jordi Alba.
For this substitution adjustment, it is somewhat surprising.
Barcelona often fall behind and push Pique up front to increase their ability to grab points up front.
Removing Alba and replacing it with Cesc Fabregas means that when the attack comes, only Baltra and Alves will remain at the back.
Coupled with the fact that Busquez has only three defenders, this is a huge concern for the Barcelona backline.
The Catalan TV commentator worried: "Is Josep's substitution adjustment too extreme?"
And in the content of the following game, it is also verified that the statement of the Catalan TV commentator is correct.
While Cesc Fabregas's presence strengthened Barcelona's midfield and control, the remainder of Alves, Baltra and Sergio Busquets at the back struggled to solve the problem in the transition from attack to defence.
In this case, the approach taken by the Barcelona defenders in the defensive phase is more of a foul.
In the 80th minute, Alves chose to pull the jersey because he could not accelerate as fast as Reuss from the offensive to defensive stage.
In this regard, the referee Kaushoi gave a yellow card to calm the strong dissatisfaction of the fans at the scene.
Seeing the yellow card shown by the referee, the Catalan TV commentator shook his head and said: "This is Daniel's third yellow card in the Champions League this season, which means that he will not be able to play in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Camp Nou in the second leg......"
"Whew-"
As the game ticked by, Barcelona did not pose a single threat to Weidenfeller's goal, and the fans cheered loudly.
Of course, in this case, it is natural that captain Tang Zheng roared loudly on the field.
It is his duty that keeps the players 100 per cent focused.
