Tang Zheng is not only the core of Dortmund's offensive organization, but also the finisher of the overall tactics, especially the corner kick attack, his height, bounce and point-grabbing ability are the existence that no team dares to ignore. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, Tang Zheng received great attention in Dortmund's corner attack, and after Tang Zheng continued to scramble for the positioning point, Portillo, Demichelis and Baptista closely guarded him.

It just so happened that Tang Zheng received too much attention, so that the other Dortmund attacking players were ignored.

Tang Zheng is not the only player in the Dortmund team who is over 1.85m, Lewandowski, Hummels, Santana, and even right-back Piszczek all have 1.85m, so this corner kick defense is a huge mistake for Malaga.

They did restrict Tang Zheng, so much so that Tang Zheng didn't even find a chance to jump.

It is true that it was successful from the point of view of defending Tang Zheng, but the overall defense was very unsuccessful.

Central defender Santana has been looking for an opportunity to make amends, and now, finally let him find it!

Santana fell from the sky like a black cloud on the broadcast camera, and the French player who defended him, Tula Langla, did not hold back, and then smashed the ball headlong towards the goal.

Neither goalkeeper Willy Caballero nor Isco standing on the right post of the goal reacted, and all they could do was watch the football until it went into the net......

Santana was thrilled to score the goal, and when he landed, he ran to the right corner flag with his arms outstretched and celebrated with his knees on his knees.

Of course, the excited Santana did not forget Gotze, who gave the assist, and Tang Zheng, the captain who encouraged him.

"Whew-"

The deafening chanting continued to ring out at the Westfal Stadium, and the home fans greeted the goal in this way.

Although the score is still 2:2, they believe that it will be a matter of time before the score is overtaken.

In this frenzied atmosphere, Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini was very unhappy, and the team had just strengthened the defence through substitutions, but now the home team equalized.

Counting the sixteen or seven minutes of stoppage time, it would be a disaster to concede another goal to the home team in the remaining time!

At this time, assistant Ruben said in Pellegrini's ear: "Manuel has no choice, 2:2 can still meet our promotion needs, and it is urgent to continue to increase the defense!"

Manuel Pellegrini's brain was running at high speed while the Dortmund players celebrated their goals, and Dortmund's equaliser was certainly a morale boost, but there were certainly problems with strengthening the attack and maintaining the status quo.

At this stage of the game, there are no more options.

As Ruben said, a 2-2 draw away to Borussia Dortmund would also qualify for promotion.

Thinking about it, Pellegrini is more inclined to strengthen the defense.

In the world of football, offense wins fans, and only defense can take away the championship.

It's time to show real defensive skills!

Since you want to put the bus, let's let the bus come more violently!

Portillo's appearance strengthened the team's attack, coupled with the obvious decline in Baptista's role due to the physical decline, the corner kick defense just now has a certain relationship with him.

In terms of substitutions, the choice is, of course, Baptista.

As for who to replace, Pellegrini still has to think about it.

At the other end, Klopp also has the last substitution adjustment in his hand, who to replace?

The 2:2 score was ironclad and Santana scored one goal to no avail, and another goal had to be scored.

Just adjust whom, a little headache.

Royce is technically promising, fast and goal-breaking.

Not to mention Robert Lewandowski, who has been in great form this season, as evidenced by 21 goals in the last 28 league games, keeping him on the pitch in the absence of goals is a silver lining of hope.

So, in terms of adjustments, Klopp decided to wait a little longer.

At the same time, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said solemnly: "The 2:2 score is not enough for Dortmund to qualify for the last four of this season's Champions League, they have to score another goal without conceding a goal, there is plenty of time, but I hope Dortmund can score as soon as possible, in Chinese terms, it is too late to change......"

※※※

The game restarted, and even Malaga had the advantage of kick-off, which did not have much effect, and the equaliser Dortmund quickly broke the ball with the frenzied atmosphere of the home field.

Of course, this has to do with Málaga's willingness to give up possession.

They didn't pass too much after the kick-off, but drove big feet to their left flank, Piszczek pressed Portillo to head the ball to Shahin, and Dortmund set up the attack.

The football came to Tang Zheng's feet through continuous passes, and Isco, who was at the front of the midfield, stretched out his foot to break the ball, but Tang Zheng knocked the ball to the left with his right foot thicker with his back to the goal, and then used his tall and strong body to card Isco behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Zheng saw a figure approaching at high speed, his right foot pulled the football back, and his body contracted.

Despite this, he was knocked to the ground by Baptista who rushed towards him.

Referee Thomson's whistle blew and Baptista was given a yellow card by the way.

Baptista was very rude, he didn't pull Tang Zheng up in a friendly way, but shrugged his shoulders and shook his index finger towards Tang Zheng, indicating that the other party's body was too weak.

Tang Zheng frowned, wanting to say something, but thinking of the previous substitution adjustment in Malaga where players were waiting, this substitution adjustment is likely to be against Baptista.

So Tang Zheng said in Spanish: "Big man, your next destination should be the bench." ”

"Huh?"

Before Baptista could figure out his form, the referee whistled again and pointed to the sidelines, signaling for a substitution.

Baptista subconsciously turned his head to see that Itura was standing next to the fourth official, and then looked at the substitution display card, No. 10, wasn't it himself?

Shit！！

Baptista finally knew what Tang Zheng meant.

Referee Thomson thought Baptista wanted to delay the game, so he pointed to the sidelines and kindly reminded Malaga of the substitutions.

By the time Baptista turned around again, Tang Zheng had already run to the front court, preparing for this set-piece in the front court.

Aggrieved!

The on-site commentators naturally noticed the 'exchange' between Tang Zheng and Baptista, the two No. 10s, but they did not pay too much attention to it, but analyzed the last substitution adjustment made by Malaga.

Yang 5 commentator Ho Wei said: "Oh, the last card of Malaga was played, and the defensive midfielder Itura replaced Baptista, it seems that Pellegrini is bent on holding on to the score of 2:2 until the end of the game......! Will you be able to make it to that point?"

※※※

With Itura coming off the bench, Málaga's formation became more and more inclined towards a four-three-two-one-one formation, commonly known as the Christmas tree formation.

Itura and Ignacio Camacho stood in front of the centre-backs, with Tulalang once again tasked with marking Tang Zheng, Isco and Eliseu assisting in the defence, and Portillo harassing Borussia Dortmund centre-back Hummels.

In Borussia Dortmund's tactical system, Hummels, who has the ability to organize, sometimes suddenly organizes attacks that are difficult to guard.

Manuel Pellegrini opted to harass Portillo in order to tackle Dortmund's attack at the source as much as possible.

While the second goal conceded appears to be a corner-kick defensive mark-to-man error, is it actually true?

It's not that the front two lines of defense haven't put enough pressure on Dortmund's attacking organization?

Itura's effect was evident and Dortmund's attacking playmaking in the middle was under intense pressure.

Now the situation is that Malaga has increased the number of defenders in the middle and increased the level of defense, so that Dortmund's penetration in the middle has been blocked like never before.

The live director took advantage of the dead-ball opportunity to give Klopp a close-up.

The meaning is obvious, that is, I hope Klopp will make the third substitution of the game sooner.

After all, with Malaga overtaking the score, the game has lost the opportunity to go to extra time.

Ninety minutes to live or ninety minutes to die!

The game passed quickly with Dortmund attacking Málaga as the main defence, and it was 80 minutes in the blink of an eye, which means that there are only 10 minutes left for Dortmund, and at most 13 minutes including injury time.

In the 81st minute, Lewandowski was interfered with by Demichelis and could not get Piszczek's cross towards the goal, and Malaga took the goal.

At this point, referee Thomson whistled to the sidelines.

The live broadcast camera switched, and Dortmund made the last adjustment of the game.

No. 8 Gundogan went down, No. 23 Schiebel went up.

Marcel Leif commented positively: "Malaga are now fully defensible in the half, Ilkaj is of little use, and Julian Shiebel is the most effective and direct defence. ”

Siebel is 1.86 meters tall and 83 kilograms, with a standard center forward build.

Klopp's intentions are clear, he wants to score in the most direct way possible.

Gundogan, who was substituted, was a little unhappy, but he knew that what the team was missing now was not a playmaker, but a finisher.

Moreover, Málaga basically gave up attacking, leaving him as a playmaker in the midfield who can both attack and defend is not very useful, at most it plays the role of a passing fulcrum.

※※※

The three substitutions on both sides of the game were all used up, which means that the next game can only be completed by the 22 players on the field.

Of course, the role of Jurgen Klopp and Manuel Pellegrini cannot be overlooked, as they stand on the sidelines and frequently adjust their tactics through a variety of body movements.

The close-up of the live broadcast is also a frequent care for the two managers.

However, compared to the passionate Klopp, Pellegrini is more like a coach, and he will not make physical movements easily unless it is a tactical adjustment.

As the game progressed, the frenetic atmosphere at Westphalun became more and more frenetic.

It is precisely because the atmosphere on the scene is becoming more and more frenzied, so that the players on the field are playing more and more impatiently.

At first, Tang Zheng didn't receive much influence, and he still controlled the game and organized the attack according to his own rhythm.

But the game time is getting less and less, and the pressure on his heart is getting bigger and bigger.

He was eliminated from Barcelona last season, and if he is eliminated again in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, it may become a shadow for his life.

In the 86th minute, Tang Zheng received the ball in the attacking 30-meter area, and Tulalang and Itura stepped forward at the same time to exert pressure.

Tang Zheng couldn't see the passable route in his spare eyes, so he had to force his feet to shoot from a distance when he had no choice.

The long-range shot was less than ideal, but unfortunately the ball hit Ignacio Camacho's leg and changed direction and flew off the line.

Corner kick.

With the second goal conceded, Málaga was very focused in defending corners, keeping an eye on the other Dortmund players in the box while not letting go of a single high point.

Although the Málaga defenders kept a close eye on Tang Zheng, they still let him scramble to the landing point, but he did not adjust the crosshairs due to excessive pressure.

Seeing this, Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief.

The header did not pose a threat, and the central 5 commentator He Wei still gave Tang Zheng words of praise: "Tang Zheng's dominance in the penalty area is still excellent, but it is a pity that he failed to reach the goal range under his heavy pressure, come on Tang Zheng! We all believe that you can lead Dortmund to achieve a stunner at the last moment!"

Tang Zheng under the broadcast camera did not feel any remorse, and he immediately commanded his teammates to implement high-level oppression.

Caballero wanted to delay the game by passing to the defenders, but seeing the posture of the Dortmund players, he decisively chose to move forward.

Hummels pressed against the isolated Portillo and Dortmund continued to organise the attack.

However, the Malaga players retreated across the board, and there were no good chances in the middle, and the attack could only be through two wings.

In the blink of an eye, another two minutes passed, which meant that the game was coming to an end.

Jurgen Klopp had no choice but to make adjustments to his on-pitch tactics through his body movements on the sidelines.

Tang Zheng and Hummels had to run into the penalty area to fight for the top and create chances when the football came to the two wings.

Anyway, Malaga retreated all the way, and it was not much use for Hummmels to stay at the back, so it was better to use it as a center forward.

Not to mention Tang Zheng, his height, strength, and ability to compete for the top with a passing header are all possible to change the score.

The job of Gotze and Shaheen, who remained in the middle, was simple - to get the ball on both flanks in the fastest way possible.

In the 89th minute, Lewandowski received Tang Zheng's header and rubbed it off the post, shocking the Malaga players in a cold sweat.

"Whoa, whoa—"

Deafening exclamations erupted from the stands.

That's just a little bit short!

The game was infinitely close to the minute, and Malaga goalkeeper Caballero was unhurriedly placing the football.

Referee Thomson whistled for him to hurry up, but he still struggled to set up the football.

"Woo-woo-"

The intention to delay the game was obvious, and the home fans did not hesitate to create a deafening loud boo.

Caballero was unmoved, he even gave Demichelis a look, then raised his right arm high, and when referee Thomson looked at him, he said that the laces were loose and needed to be untied and re-tied.

Demichelis immediately ran over and untied Caballero's shoes.

For the special position of goalkeeper, the referee Thomson did not have a good solution, but just gave a stern warning.

By the time Caballero had taken the goal kick for 90 minutes, the fourth official held up the electronic card for four minutes of injury time.

He Wei said helplessly: "There is not much time left for Dortmund, there are still four minutes left. ”
