While Dortmund deepened the technical and tactical skills for the first leg of the 2010-2011 Europa League 1/16 finals, the whole Porto team was also in full swing at the hotel to make tactical arrangements and analysis

Although their head coach Villas-Boas is only 33 years old, his resume is so impressive that he was an assistant to England manager Bobby Robson at the age of seventeen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He then continued to study with Jose Mourinho until he became the manager of Inter Milan and chose to go it alone.

And at this time, he was only thirty-one years old.

Two years later, in the summer, at the age of 33, Villas-Boas became the manager of Porto, one of Portugal's three giants, and many media questioned his ability, but it turned out that ability has nothing to do with age.

In the 19th round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto rode the dust, with 17 wins, 2 draws and 53 points, 11 points ahead of the second-place Benfica, and the Portuguese Cup also entered the semifinals.

These two results have fully demonstrated that Boas's coaching ability is extremely good.

Therefore, the players sitting in front of him were very quiet, listening very carefully to the analysis and explanation of techniques and tactics.

"Joao, try to get around Don's coverage as much as possible, make the most of the width of the pitch, remember to stick the ball at your feet, Dortmund are very good at disrupting the game. ”

"Fernando, you only have one task for tomorrow's game, to protect the ball at Joao's feet. After Boas said solemnly, he looked at Guarin: "Freddy, your task is more important, when the team is attacking, you must share the pressure of Joao to organize the attack, and you must limit Don at the first time from attack to defense, and don't let him have a chance to get the ball." ”

Hearing Boas focus on Tang Zheng again and again, Guarin was a little disdainful, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Boas was very observant, and he was keenly aware of subtle changes in Guarin's facial expressions.

His tone was still serious: "Although he is Chinese, I hope you don't have any relaxation, he proved himself last season, Dortmund can be at the top of the table this season is also directly related to him, the best player in the Copa Libertadores and the MVP of the Bundesliga half is not in vain!"

With that, Boas turned his attention to Falcao: "Romedal, you used to work with Don at River Plate, you tell Freddy about him. ”

Falcao coughed lightly, very serious, he glanced at his teammates: "Here I can say very responsibly, he is the best partner I have ever met, there is no one! In addition, his defensive ability I believe everyone has a deep understanding in the highlights, but I want to say that the real him is even more terrifying!"

As Porto's top scorer last season and this season, Falcao has a pretty high status in the dressing room, and the words that come out of his mouth are useful.

Falcao is also the captain of the Colombian national team, and Guarin, as a member of the Colombian national team, naturally wants to listen, and Falcao usually speaks very concisely and only talks about the key points, so it must be treated solemnly.

No one noticed that Colombian James Rodriguez, who joined Porto last summer, sat at the far end clenching his fists and was all about the Boca Juniors trial in Buenos Aires four years ago.

For four years, he has been targeting Tang Zheng.

But I didn't expect it, and the farther and farther I chased it......

※※※

On the day of the game, the players from both sides appeared on the pitch from the players' tunnel to warm up, and the Dragon Stadium was already full.

From a long shot, the Porto fans in blue and white tops almost filled the stadium.

The yellow and black that belongs to Dortmund fans only occupies a small part of it, like an ark in the ocean.

Not long after Tang Zheng came out, he saw his good friend Falcao coming in front of him, the two smiled tacitly, and then hugged each other hard, and said in unison: "Long time no see." ”

After that, the two added in unison: "Don't cry when you lose." ”

Immediately after, the two willingly let go of each other and gave each other a punch in the chest with a smile.

The big battle is imminent, and it is impossible for old friends to talk non-stop when they meet, and Tang Zheng is now the captain of Dortmund, and it is not good to chat with the opponent's core players, so the two returned to their respective camps to warm up for the game.

However, as soon as Tang Zheng turned around, he saw a familiar face again, very familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember it.

James Rodriguez stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Don, long time no see." ”

Seeing the iconic smile, Tang Zheng suddenly remembered: "Hames, it's been a long time." ”

"By the way, when did you come to Porto?" After speaking, Tang Zheng reached out to meet the outstretched right hand of James Rodriguez.

"Last summer. ”

"Oh. Tang Zheng gave an expression of 'so it was like this'.

Of course, Tang Zheng and James Rodriguez didn't talk much before returning to their respective camps.

In fact, in this game, Tang Zheng also has an acquaintance, but this acquaintance is not the kind of familiarity between friends, but an opponent.

During Tang Zheng's time at River Plate, he played against Otamendi, who used to play for Sarsfield.

This memory also made Tang Zheng proud, because he once beat Otamendi to put the ball into the goal.

I just don't know, does this game have the same chance to beat Otamendi?

※※※

Standing first in the queue as the captain, this is not the first time for Tang Zheng, who has become accustomed to this feeling this season.

Due to the crucial nature of the game, he didn't even speak to River Plate friend Falcao in the tunnel, just cheering on his team-mates, especially Gotze, who started the game.

Tang Zheng, who partnered Sven Bender as a double midfielder in this game, will take care of defense for most of the time, and the offensive organization will be completely handed over to Gotze, and whether the team's attack can be carried out smoothly depends on Gotze's self-adjustment ability.

Less than ten seconds later, Tang Zheng and Porto captain Helton followed the referee out.

"Whoa~"

There was a huge cheer at the Stade d'Longa, which was given to Porto by the home fans.

Yang 5 did not buy the broadcast of the Europa League, so domestic fans can only watch the live broadcast through the new wolf network.

This may not be much of a problem for new-age fans, but it is a bit difficult for the older generation, and Dortmund's trip to Porto kicks off at 4am.

However, there were still many Chinese fans tuning in to watch the game live.

In the screen display of the live broadcast web page, Tang Zheng is very busy.

Exchange team flags, pick edges, and take a group photo......

The European games are played in the evening, so there is no such thing as a 'yin and yang field', so it is useless to pick the edge, it is better to use the initial stage to give Porto a dismount!

Probably due to luck, Tang Zheng lost the right to pick the edge and won the right to tee.

But for night kick-offs, it doesn't make any difference which side you choose, but who kicks off first will have a better advantage.

Of course, Porto at home would have had a better effect if they kicked off.

"Woo-woo-"

The two sides of the game stood on their sides, and Barrios stepped on the football as he waited for the referee to blow the kick-off whistle, but a tsunami of boos erupted over the Dragons Stadium.

In this way, the home fans warned the Dortmund players not to be too presumptuous at the Dragon Stadium!

"The atmosphere at the Dragon Stadium is very frenetic, and the home fans are booing the visiting Dortmund players, but can they really interfere?" said Huang Jianxiang, a commentator of New Wolves Sports, "This 1/16 final, which is said to be comparable to the Europa League final, is really exciting......

"Beep~"

At this moment, the referee on duty blew the whistle.

Barrios kicked the ball to Kuba, and Falcao and Hulk, who were in the middle of the other half, rushed towards Kuba with the ball like wild horses.

Kuba didn't dare to slack off and handed the ball directly to Gotze, who was in the half-circle arc of his side.

Falke and Hulk tacitly made a small turn and rushed towards Gotze, who had the ball.

Gotze, who received the football, did not show off his small skills at his feet, and he passed to Tang Zheng, the captain of the field who was ready to receive the ball.

Seeing the football rolling towards Tang Zheng, Falcao felt an inexplicable little excitement, he did not slow down, and rushed to Tang Zheng, the core of Dortmund's midfield, without hesitation.

Everyone knows that although Tang Zheng's position in this game is a defensive midfielder, he is still the core of Dortmund.

Absolute core!

Tang Zheng, who was facing the football, also noticed Falcao who was speeding forward, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and the sole of his right foot took the initiative to pull the football to the left.

Defenders have always been passive, and Falcao, who grabbed the ball in front of the game in the first moment, had to make a small turn.

With the huge boos that erupted from the scene, Tang Zheng's right foot pulled the ball back violently, and Falcao, who was only about two meters away from the football, had to step forward to the left again, using his excellent explosiveness to shorten the distance with the football.

Hulk, who has partnered with Falcao for most of the season, tacitly pressed Tang Zheng, who was holding the ball, from the other side.

"It's time to pass the ball!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif stepped up his voice.

However, as soon as the words fell, Tang Zheng quickly withdrew his right foot, and at the moment when Falcao took a step, he gently stabbed the football back with his toes, and the football rolled between Falco's legs.

"Beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang, the commentator of New Wolf Sports, gave up announcing the starting lineups of both sides, and suddenly changed his voice, and shouted passionately: "Wear the crotch!!"

At the same time, the loud boos that erupted over the Dragon Stadium suddenly lost its voice as if it had been attacked.

Tang Zheng didn't stop to think about the reason for the stands, he started on the spot, bypassed the right side of Falcao's uncovered body, and then looked at Kuba's forward route, and made a long pass without hesitation!!

Klopp, who had just returned to the dugout, looked at the football in mid-air for a moment, and then stood up from the dugout suddenly.

But the next moment, he sat down again disappointed.

Because the running Kuba stretched out his right foot and did not stop at the football......

Shiro is excited!
