With Luka Modric coming off the bench, Real Madrid's midfield did not show the weakness as expected, but used its super technical ability to get rid of Dortmund's high pressure and organize an effective attack continuously.

Dortmund, who should have been dominant, had to be tired of defending, and manager Jurgen Klopp was even more nervous and helpless.

Xavi Alonso and Luka Modric's two-man midfield combination have been staged against Dortmund in both legs of the Champions League group stage, but they didn't expect the Champions League final after half a season to show incredible results.

In other words, the trio of Xavi Alonso, Luka Modric and Mesut Ozil is growing stronger by the day, and all three have strong ability to play the ball, which Dortmund will find difficult to contain effectively in defence.

There is a saying in world football that whoever wins the midfielder wins the world.

Now that Dortmund's vaunted control is gradually declining, Real Madrid's advantage is becoming more and more obvious.

It is undeniable that Tang Zheng's position premise brings obvious advantages, but Sven Bender's play strengthens the defense while reducing the activity of the midfield, that is, the ability to control the midfield, and it is difficult for Tang Zheng and Gundogan to form an effective ball in the Real Madrid defensive system alone.

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines and looked anxious to discuss tactical changes with Želiko Bouácz and Peter Kravitz.

"Jurgen, should we explain to Don that his priority right now is offense rather than defense?"

Gerliko Bouácz proposed.

Before Klopp could speak, Peter Kravitz shook his head and said: "No, the defensive pressure is too great now, if Don is fully responsible for the attack, the defense will definitely have problems." ”

"But the pressure on the defence comes entirely from the attack, and there is no way to pose a real threat to the Real Madrid goal. Gerlico Bouácz said with a frown.

Peter Kravitz wanted to say something, but Klopp waved his hand and interrupted: "Let's see the situation first, and then let's adjust." ”

The on-site broadcast camera frequently took care of Klopp, and the CCTV 5 commentator He Wei saw it in his eyes, and he said worriedly: "The current situation is very passive for Dortmund, should Klopp consider adjusting tactics or personnel?"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif frowned: "Jurgen has to make a decision as soon as possible if he has a B plan, if this time allows Real Madrid to overtake the score, it will be an absolute disaster!"

As the captain on the field, Tang Zheng is also constantly thinking about how to turn passive into active.

Because it is very likely to concede goals if you continue to be passive, now that the game has come to the second half, it is very likely that you will regret it for life if you make a slight mistake!

"What should I do?"

Tang Zheng assisted in the defense while thinking about how to break the game.

Real Madrid's current midfield combination is more technical than when Khedira was there, so Tang Zheng generally chooses zone defense and does not dare to move forward recklessly.

Mesut Ozil, Luka Modric and Xavi Alonso all have a wide field of vision, and if they dare to step forward, the space behind them will be exposed.

It was with this that Real Madrid were able to turn the tide in terms of possession.

In the 65th minute, Modric received a cross pass from Xavi Alonso and suddenly accelerated forward, Tang Zheng looked at the distance between the football and Modric in the process of retreating and chose to put the tackle decisively, but Modric's foot cadence was very fast, his left foot stretched forward, and the ball was dunked to the right in advance.

Considering that he had already carried a yellow card on his body, Tang Zheng's outstretched right foot was forcibly retracted, and he watched Modric dribble over.

Gundogan, who was always keeping an eye on Ozil's activities, had to move forward to fill the hole behind Tang Zheng, but at this moment, Modric, who was running forward, suddenly used the outside of his right foot to pass the ball to the attacking right rib. 、

With the attention of the entire backline focused on Mesut Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, the left flank of the defence was left unfocused.

Di Maria swooped between Subotic and Schmelzer to the right flank and then plotted the ball forward with his chest on the run.

"Single knife!!" The Spanish national TV commentator was overwhelmed with excitement: "Angel Di Maria!!"

But the next moment, his excited tone became extremely angry: "This is a complete crime!"

"Oh, oh, oh-"

At the same time, there was a huge exclamation at the new Wembley Stadium.

All eyes were on Dortmund at the top of the penalty area, and Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller raised his arms to show that he was innocent.

Di Maria, who fell into the penalty area, sat on the grass with his arms raised and looked at the referee Rizzoli.

"It's a clear foul!"

"Our one-on-one goal, red card!"

"Mr. Referee, you must have seen it clearly, right?"

……

The Real Madrid players immediately surrounded Rizzoli and kept complaining on the side.

"Mr. Referee, you see that the assistant referee has not said anything, it must be a fake fall!"

"That's right, I can see it very clearly, it's indeed a fake fall!"

"The action of falling is very exaggerated, it must be a fake fall!"

……

The same is true for the Borussia Dortmund players, who are afraid that the referee will be under pressure from the Real Madrid players and then ......

Although the managers of both sides were nervous, there were no emotional remarks or body movements.

The referee who blew the whistle, Rizzoli, stood still and looked very calm, and he stretched out his hands to signal the players on both sides to disperse.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei frowned and said: "I didn't see the process very clearly just now, but I feel that Weidenfeller is more likely to foul ......."

Before the word "high" could be uttered, Hewei's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he exclaimed: "Oh my God, a red card! Rizzoli gave Weidenfeller a red card!!"

※※※

"Woo-woo-"

The red card had just been revealed, and the new Wembley Stadium was filled with loud boos from Dortmund fans.

Taking advantage of the gap between the players on both sides surrounding the referee Rizzoli, the on-site director restored the whole process just now.

Modric drew the attention of Gundogan's defense and then faced the left rib, so his right instep pick and pass to the right rib was extremely hidden, and the defender's attention was focused on Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Ozil, so that the left rib was fatally leaked.

Di Maria burst out of the gap between Subotic and Schmelzer and slotted the ball forward with his chest.

Weidenfeller kept a good distance from the backline, so he chose to abandon the goal as soon as possible.

It just so happened that Di Maria's power was not well controlled, and he had to chase the ball, thus giving Weidenfeller time to attack.

But Di Maria is fast after all, and the average goalkeeper is naturally inferior to the fast wing player in terms of explosiveness and speed, especially Weidenfeller, who has just turned three years old and has experienced a significant decline in physical fitness......

Weidenfeller, who attacked to the line of the big penalty area, had no way back, he had to go up hard, and in the face of Di Maria, who was the first to touch the ball, he saw the football and chose to fall to the ground and put it down.

However, Weidenfeller's football did not touch, but he kicked down Di Maria, who had just dialed the ball out.

Immediately afterwards, the live director gave another shot with his back to the referee Rizzoli.

It can be clearly seen from the picture that the moment Weidenfeller kicked Di Maria's left foot, the referee Rizzoli blew the whistle for the first time......

The scene returns to the live broadcast again, with Rizzoli's expressionless finger pointing to the sidelines, signaling Weidenfeller to hurry up and leave the field.

Weidenfeller, who realized that the problem was big, hurriedly explained to the referee that he did not say that he had not committed a foul, but that Di Maria was not in the direction of the whole team's goal, that is, he hoped that Rizzoli's men would be merciful.

Captain Tang Zheng is also pleading, hoping that Rizzoli will open the net.

However, because of a yellow card on his back, he did not dare to use too aggressive words in his appeal.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Weidenfeller shook his head, took off his gloves, and walked out of the field.

※※※

Although Klopp clearly saw that it was Weidenfeller who kicked Di Maria, as the manager of Dortmund, he still had to complain to the fourth official for the sake of the team's interests, and indirectly put pressure on the referee Rizzoli.

Of course, he did not forget to explain to assistant coach Gerlico Bouácchi, asking the second goalkeeper Yan Junling to warm up and then put on the game.

The footage of the on-site director was given to Yan Junling again, and the voice of Yang 5 commentator He Wei was slightly urgent: "Wei Dengfeller was sent off with a red card, and my country's 21-year-old goalkeeper Yan Junling will come off the bench!"

Speaking of this, his voice came down again: "The goalkeeper was sent off with a red card, and it is impossible for the back line to adjust, right?"

The implication is that Dortmund will definitely prioritise defense by playing one less man, which is equivalent to saying that the removal of an attacking player is a sure thing.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif recovered from his depression and analyzed: "Roman Weidenfeller has no problem attacking, but the final choice is a little reckless, even if Real Madrid overtakes the score, it may not be able to have the last laugh, and now there is one less person on the field, and the next game will be very troublesome for Dortmund......"

Dortmund fans at the new Wembley Stadium seemed to feel that the team was in an unprecedented crisis, and many fans held their heads with a look of confusion and helplessness.

Needless to say, the mood of Real Madrid fans is that the opposing goalkeeper will be sent off with a red card, and they want to use their toes to think that the situation is positive for Real Madrid.

So while the Dortmund fans booed, they created a huge cheer like a tsunami, cheering for the referee's decision.

On the court, Weidenfeller had turned around and walked to the sidelines, and Tang Zheng, as the captain, began to calm the emotions of his teammates.

In this case, we must not let that tense nerve go away.

Assistant coach Gerlico Bouis and goalkeeper coach Teddy Dibil were in charge of the substitution of Yan Junling, and Klopp, who returned to the dugout, made incendiary gestures to the players on the pitch to motivate them.

As Tang Zheng thought, the most important place for players to maintain now is morale.

Finally, Klopp came to Yan Junling and put his right hand on Yan Junling's right shoulder: "Yan, don't be nervous, just like the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona and the German national derby, I believe you can do your best!"

After saying that, Klopp retracted his right hand, then pointed his index finger at his eyes, and said in a high-spirited tone: "I believe in my vision, you have the ability to become the best goalkeeper in the world!"

Yan Junling had not recovered from the critical order at this time, and the whole person was still in a state of confusion.

"Yan?"

Klopp saw that Yan Junling seemed to be paying attention wrong, and patted Yan Junling on the shoulder again.

Now Yan Junling came back to his senses, and he scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.

Klopp shook his head secretly, and there was no second choice at this time, so he patted Yan Junling's shoulder again, and said indemgently: "Yan, you just need to remember, don't have ideological baggage, just play according to the training, OK?"

How can Yan Junling not be nervous?

He didn't even know how to play.

The Yang 5 commentator saw Yan Junling's nervous expression and was a little worried, but he still said as loudly as possible: "Receiving orders in danger is a situation that every successful professional player must face, and now Yan Junling is fortunate to encounter it, so you should put aside all distractions and take the game seriously! Heroes and sinners are only a thought, Weidenfeller is thirty-three this year, take advantage of your own opportunity......"

At the same time, captain Tang Zheng took the initiative to run to Yan Junling, who was nervous, and stretched out his right hand: "How do you feel?"

"Huh?" Yan Junling was slightly stunned, looking at Tang Zheng's eyes a little flustered: "A little nervous." ”

Yan Junling thought that Tang Zheng would frown and reprimand, but Tang Zheng smiled and gave a hug: "It's right to be a little nervous, this is the Champions League final." ”

"This ...... Belch. ”

Yan Junling didn't know what to say.

Tang Zheng looked at Yan Junling, suddenly became serious, and his voice changed: "Think about how you repeatedly rejected Messi, Iniesta and other stars in the Champions League semifinals, and then think about the German national derby, how you helped the team beat Bayern Munich! You are far more powerful than you can imagine! So you should put the damn nervousness behind you now! This is the Champions League final! As a Chinese player, having the honor to participate in the Champions League final is enough to blow for a lifetime!" But if you mess up in this game, everybody will condemn you as a sinner!

After that, Tang Zheng gave Yan Junling a light punch in the left chest: "Now you are still fifty or sixty meters away from the goal, the goalkeeper position is destined to be full of particularity, you walk over slowly, think about what I just said! Your strength is far beyond imagination!"

"Brother Zheng, I see. Yan Junling tapped his chin, held his head high, and slowly walked towards the goal.

Tang Zheng turned to look at Yan Junling's back, very pleased.

Compared with the confusion before entering the court, Yan Junling is obviously more energetic now.

Perhaps, he can take on the big responsibility!

Gerliko Bvac turned to Klopp and said: "Jurgen, Don is really one of the few spiritual leaders in football right now. ”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have appointed him as the second captain sooner. Klopp rarely showed a smile, and then looked at Yan Junling: "Yan's ability and potential are very great, I am worried that his mentality will affect the performance, but now it seems that worrying may be a little redundant." ”
