Chapter 383: Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared
Tang Zheng was disturbed by Schweinsteiger's small movements, so he had no intention of speeding up with the ball.
After all, the speed of the football is much faster than the speed of running with the ball, and the principle of the so-called fast counterattack is to make the football faster, not to make the player faster individually.
Although Gotze's physical fitness has decreased significantly, his physical recovery after a period of rest is still quite ideal.
In the face of Xavi Martinez's unexpectedly stoppage, a dodge accelerated and burst into the middle line.
Xavi Martinez wanted to foul, but at the critical moment, he remembered that he had received a yellow card, and the outstretched right foot was not kicked.
This is the Westphalen Stadium, and there is no doubt that referee Bruch will see another yellow card for the home fans' sake.
In addition, FIFA has repeatedly ordered to protect attacking football, and yellow card warnings must be given for tactical fouls.
"Whoa—"
At the same time, a loud cheer suddenly rang out over the Westphalic Lun Stadium, which quickly spread from several stands to the entire stadium.
If you look closely, this is not caused by the home fans speeding up the ball with Gotze, but because Tang Zheng's sudden acceleration caused Schweinsteiger, who was pulling his jersey, to fall to the ground and produce a sound with a hint of ridicule.
Borussia Dortmund's attack continued, and Xavi Martinez did not dare to foul, but that did not mean that there was no small movement, he had a hidden small movement behind him.
This action does not make Gotze lose his center of gravity, but it can slow down his acceleration.
Soon, Harvey Martinez caught up with Gotze and used his strong body to force Gotze to slow down.
Just as Götze was guarding the football and waiting for the position to attack, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Hey~ Mario." ”
Xavi Martinez has a wide field of vision, he has a certain offensive ability and defensive awareness is also very strong, so when he heard Tang Zheng's voice, he didn't care about carrying a yellow card on his body, and his whole body pressed towards Gotze.
Under normal circumstances, after the attacker has counter-attacked and voluntarily lowered the speed, the referee will blow the whistle and will also deal with the foul as appropriate.
The idea is good, the problem is that Götze's pace at his feet is quicker than Javi Martinez's foul action.
In addition, while Gotze was killing to the middle, in order to ensure the control of the football, he separated Javi Martinez with his body, and pulled the ball back with his right foot at the moment of physical contact between the two.
Javi Martinez brought down Gotze with his right elbow, and referee Bruch saw it.
Because the football rolled towards Tang Zheng, he did not blow the whistle, but raised his arms forward flatly, signaling that the attack was advantageous, and the game continued.
“Taaaaaaaaaaaaaang——”
The football rolled towards Tang Zheng, and there were louder cheers over the Westphalva Lun Stadium, and the frenzy of the scene broke out unprecedentedly.
Tang Zheng's goal helped the team equalize, and now he is counterattacking with the ball, and the home team fans are all looking forward to the 'Bayern nemesis' to turn the tide and overtake the score.
Tang Zheng accelerated to meet the football, while his right shoulder sank, and the outside of his right foot moved the ball to the right, Xavi Martinez thought that Tang Zheng was going to accelerate through the midfield from the right rib, so he did not stop, but ran to Tang Zheng's acceleration direction according to the original pace.
In less than half a second, Javi Martinez realized that he had been fooled.
Tang Zheng's right shoulder sinking and the outside of his right foot were just a false shot, and the real killer move was behind, his right foot quickly swiped over the football, and the inside of the instep of his right foot slammed the ball to the left, accelerating through the opposite direction of Javi Martinez.
Xavi Martinez is tall and has long legs and a large turning radius, and by the time he finished turning, Tang Zheng had already crossed the halfway line.
At this moment, Lewandowski's movement changed significantly, and he made a small turn to the right after running to the attacking left flank, and then ran back to the middle, which is the middle position between the two central defenders Van Bitten and Boateng.
Lewandowski was so clever that he ran between the two centre-backs so much that Boateng and Van Bitten didn't dare to defend Tang Zheng forward.
Tang Zheng is known for his wide vision and accurate passing, and they are concerned that one of them will cause holes in the backline.
Seeing Tang Zheng advancing forward with the ball without anyone pressurizing, Bayern head coach Heynckes felt a lot of pressure.
If Dortmund scores another goal in one go, then there really will be no suspense in the game.
"Foul!!"
Heynckes was loud, but the Westphalic Lun Field erupted so loud that the players on the pitch couldn't hear him at all.
But the fourth official heard it, and he looked at Heynckes with a rather colorful expression.
※※※
When Tang Zheng dribbled the ball to the attacking 40-meter area, the left back Lahm adducted and the right central defender Boateng pulled out, and he stepped forward with the intention of pressing Tang Zheng, and by the way, he waited for Xavi Martinez to assist in the defense.
The idea is good, the problem is that things are not going the way he wants.
Tang Zheng noticed that Xavi Martinez was chasing back with the strength of milk, and at the same time making the most accurate choice based on Boateng's forward.
Stop in place!
Xavi Martinez had to brake sharply on the spot with Tang Zheng's emergency stop, but he was tall and had long legs and a large radius, which was a beat slower than Tang Zheng's premeditated emergency stop, and when he stopped his body momentum, Tang Zheng had already passed the ball to his own side to attack the right side.
"Marco Royce!!"
Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif shouted violently.
At the same time, Tang Zheng started to run to the middle again, and Lewandowski's running position changed again, running from the middle to the far end, that is, the left side, to make room for Tang Zheng's forward insertion.
Royce met the ball forward, and Rahm, who had just adducted in, had to pull it out again.
Considering Royce's speed, Rahm didn't compete with Royce's speed, and he was very clever in his position and stood on Royce's in-cut line.
As an experienced professional, I know that it is better for my own defense to give up the outside line than to give up the inside line.
In fact, under normal circumstances, such a defense is understandable, but Tang Zheng and Lewandowski, who are responsible for outflanking, are in too good form this season, the former ranks first in the Champions League scorer list, the Bundesliga scorer list, and the latter tops the Bundesliga scorer list.
If Reus's pass can accurately find Tang Zheng or Lewandowski, then this attack will be inseparable.
Even though Boateng and Van Bitten are both more than 1.9 meters tall, their ability to compete for the ball is not as good as Tang Zheng and Lewandowski.
Boateng is young, Van Bitten is old.
Besides, the attacker has an advantage, the attacker strictly runs according to the pre-game deployment, and the defender can only choose and predict according to his personal feelings.
Jurgen Klopp, who was standing in the coaching area of the home team, was in high spirits and was very much looking forward to this quick counterattack from the team.
Two minutes earlier, the team had equalised.
After two minutes, will you be able to overtake the score?
The same can be said of the Dortmund fans at the Westphárfa Lun Stadium, with a hint of nervousness in anticipation.
Xavi Martinez was very timely in his defense, but his speed was too slow to keep up with Tang Zheng's acceleration.
Boateng originally stepped forward to defend Tang Zheng, so he chose to turn around and follow the moment Tang Zheng stepped forward, and another central defender, Van Bitten, continued to defend Lewandowski and ran to the far corner.
During the high-speed run, Royce looked up at the positions of his teammates Tang Zheng and Lewandowski.
Between the lightning and flint, Tang Zheng made a gesture towards him, a gesture that could only be understood by each other.
So Reuss had a bottom in his mind and knew how to pass the ball next.
Rahm is very experienced in the game, and he knows what Reuss meant by looking up just now, so he no longer gives Reus space, but chooses to get closer.
How could Royce not know what Ram meant by approaching?
Of course he does!
Reus didn't give Rahm much time, he took the ball forward on the run, quickly adjusted with small steps, and then picked up his right foot on the run.
Ram was very anxious, but the speed gap was not in a hurry to catch up, and when he saw Royce's small broken step adjustment, he gritted his teeth and accelerated his legs to kick the ground.
Stare at the ground with the last step of the left foot, stretch the right foot forward, and use the force of the ground feedback to shorten the distance between each other and expand the defensive area as much as possible.
Still, Lahm's outstretched right leg failed to intercept Reus's cross.
The ball almost grazed the tip of Lahm's right shoe and flew into the box, and everyone's focus was on the box as the ball flew into the box.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer took one look at the cross and gave up decisively.
Reus's cross was extremely fast, curling from the outside in, and the ball didn't fly very high, making it a very high quality cross.
In the instinct of a goalkeeper, Neuer turned his head to look at the middle of the penalty area, which is where the football lands.
This look almost scared his soul.
※※※
"Royce crosses!"
Yang 5 commentator Duan Huo said excitedly.
The live broadcast quickly switched cameras, and the fans sitting in front of the TV were able to see the five players in the Bayern penalty area.
Lewandowski, Tang Zheng, Van Bitten and Boateng.
"Whoa—"
Suddenly, the loud cheers that came to mind over the Westphalic Lun Stadium invisibly rose another notch, reaching a deafening level.
The fans in the South Stand quickly turned their heads to look into the middle of the box after seeing Reuss' cross, and they saw Tang Zheng make a very obvious feint in the run, in order to confuse Boateng, who was inexperienced in defence.
The most exposed problem in the defensive process is to watch the ball and not look at people, Boateng is careful to follow the lesson this time, and he only has Tang Zheng in his eyes now......
Originally, there was nothing wrong with defending like this, but the problem was that Tang Zheng had a fake run in his run.
He first made a gesture to run to the left, that is, to the right of Boateng, and then waited for Boateng to make a move and braked sharply on the spot, and pushed his left foot to the ground, relying on this huge reaction force to run to the right.
It was only then that Boateng realised he should keep an eye on Reus's cross......
This look almost scared Boateng's little heart.
If one looked closely, his expression was the same as Neuer's.
Tang Zheng judged the landing point of the football during the run, and Royce's pass was a little different from what he imagined, and the distance between the man and the football was remote.
Of course, Tang Zheng didn't blame Reuss for his bad passing, after all, Lahm is one of the best fullbacks in the world, and it is already good to be able to complete a high-quality cross under Ram's defense.
Still hoping to spread it overhead?
Between the electric light and flint, Tang Zheng made the most correct choice.
In the broadcast footage, he kicked his feet to the ground on the right side of the penalty spot, and at the same time leaned forward with his upper body, and the whole person was swooped forward by the reaction force of the ground.
"Bend over and leap to the top!!"
Yang 5 commentator Duan Huo's voice instantly rose an octave, and the whole person even stood up from his seat suddenly because of excitement.
German Sky commentator Marcel Leif reacted almost identically, shouting, "Don—"
Tang Zheng's judgment of the landing point is very against the sky, even if this is a temporary judgment, the top of his forehead is slightly two centimeters up to the middle of the football.
At the same time, the entire stadium of Dortmund fans raised their arms as if they were in anticipation of the goal.
Neuer was repeatedly humiliated by Tang Zheng as a German goalkeeper, and he was very unhappy, this time his knee-jerk reaction was quite fast, his body quickly pressed down to the right, his right arm was stretched, and his palm was pushed to the football.
At this time, Neuer's mood was very good.
If the situation allows, he wants to quickly stand up, raise his arms and shout.
"Manuel Neuer!" said German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti, who raised his voice sharply: "He saved Bayern Munich!"
But as soon as the words fell, the voice froze.
It is true that Neuer subconsciously pounced on the football, but Tang Zheng's leaning and leaping to the top is very powerful, and the angle is more tricky, which means that Neuer, who subconsciously made a save, is not completely ready, and his hand shape does not come out.
"Didn't make it to the ???" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said in a low tone, but the next moment he was full of blood and full of excitement: "- Robert Lewandowski!!"
In the bottom left corner of the camera, a Dortmund player wearing the number nine shirt suddenly appeared, and he met the ball that Neuer pounced on.
The veteran Van Bitten made an unforgivable mistake at this time, he watched the ball and did not look at the people......
Tang Zheng, who completed the difficult fish leap to the top, was unwilling to see Neuer pounce on the football, but when he saw Lewandowski at the far end following at high speed, his handsome face was smiling again.
In stark contrast to Neuer, his face was as dead as ashes.
As a striker, Lewandowski did not freeze in place when he saw Tang Zheng complete the fish leap to the top, but continued to run forward.
No, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
In the face of a huge empty goal, how can Lewandowski, who is ranked first in the Bundesliga this season, not eat?
With a flick of his right foot, he sent the ball into the unmarked goal......
Neuer, who had just landed, and Van Bitten, who had made a mistake, raised their arms and looked at the assistant referee who did not make any moves, reminding him that Lewandowski was offside.
Referee Bruch did not see the assistant referee raise the flag and blew the whistle at the first time to signal that the goal was valid.
