Chapter 144: The Stratagem Succeeds

In the 65th minute, the football came to the feet of James Rodriguez again, and Piszczek had to watch out for the full-back Pereira, so Tang Zheng faced James Rodriguez alone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

James Rodriguez thought that Tang Zheng would be restrained if he carried a yellow card, so he was a little sticky when he got one-on-one.

But in fact?

Tang Zheng didn't think so much about it in this frenzied atmosphere of the game, he chose to put a tackle the moment he saw James Rodriguez's kick, and the football was kicked by him to the top of James Rodriguez's foot and bounced off the sideline.

The assistant referee stood next to him, saw it clearly, and signaled Dortmund's sideline ball.

"Woo-woo-"

The Porto fans in the stands were very unhappy, and they once again erupted into a tsunami of boos to the linesman.

Tang Zheng, who had completed the defense, made a two-handed downward pressing movement, signaling his teammates not to rush.

Huang Jianxiang, a commentator of New Wolf Sports, looked at the broadcast camera and said: "Tang Zheng is right to do this, when the home team accelerates the offensive tempo, it should reasonably use the rules to delay the game time, and interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm by the way......."

Klopp was very satisfied with Tang Zheng's seemingly inconspicuous move.

A season and a half of experience in the Bundesliga has made him more mature!

It feels like he doesn't look like a twenty-one-year-old at all, he looks more like a thirty-one-year-old.

That's how it feels to be a young man.

In fact, Tang Zheng's ability to be so mature is inseparable from his resume.

To get back to the point, Dortmund, under the leadership of Tang Zheng, withstood wave after wave of attacking frenzy in Porto.

In the 75th minute, Dortmund made their first substitution, with Lewandowski replacing Barrios, who was no longer active in running.

Although Dortmund's substitution signal was very obvious, it was to keep the pressure on the Porto backline, but in fact it was only to increase the high press.

Lewandowski, who has just been substituted, has no fitness problems, and he is a substitute striker in the team, so he needs to put in a better performance to convince Klopp, so he has a more correct attitude than Barrios.

Moreover, Lewandowski's play can enrich Dortmund's attack on the right side, and Kuba and Piszczek, who are also from the Polish national team, cooperate very well, which often makes Porto's defense on the left side very tight.

Tang Zheng's involvement in the aerial duel in the box can pose a huge threat to Porto, so the defensive-minded Boas did not dare to fight too hard.

He is heavily influenced by Jose Mourinho and often splits the two-legged knockout rounds into four parts, and even if this game draws at home to Dortmund, the team still has two parts left to complete the score exceedance, and there is no need to fight Dortmund at this time.

It didn't take long for Dortmund to make another personnel change, with Shaheen replacing Gotze.

As a result of this change, the positioning has become the most common line-up this season, with Sven Bender partnering Shahin, Tang Zheng playing in midfield, and Grosskreutz and Kuba on each side.

Of course, Tang Zheng's position as a front midfielder is not fixed, and he has a high degree of freedom.

Shaheen, who came on the pitch, also brought Klopp's latest tactical instructions - to defend solidly.

Tang Zheng nodded like the other players, but he was not willing to defend too early, now there are more than ten minutes left in the game, if the initiative is handed over, it is very likely that the opponent will score another goal to overtake the score.

So in the next game time, Tang Zheng chose to cooperate with his teammates when he switched from defense to attack, instead of directly looking for striker Lewandowski with a long pass like a solid defense.

In the eighty-second minute, Fernando, who was opposite Tang Zheng, shoveled from the side, Tang Zheng drove the ball away in advance, and Fernando did not shovel the football, but kicked Tang Zheng's foot.

Tang Zheng, who landed on the ground, rolled several laps on the grass with inertia in order to be injured.

Although it looks very harmful and visually impactful, it is actually just for unloading, and there is no big problem.

The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Fernando, but did not mean to draw a card.

Suddenly, it caused the dissatisfaction of the Dortmund players, and Shaheen complained loudly to the referee: "This is a very harmful foul, Mr. Referee!!"

Because Fernando had already received a yellow card, the Dortmund players wanted the referee to issue another yellow card.

Let's not talk about the second leg of the suspension, let the home team send one man off at the end of the game, then the game will be much easier.

Lewandowski and Tang Zheng, who got up, both made a gesture towards the referee.

The referee shook his head, not asking for a card.

In response to the reaction of the Dortmund players, a huge boo erupted over the Dragons Stadium in response.

At the same time, the Porto players appealed to the referee, indicating that Tang Zheng was suspected of faking a fall.

"Fernando Francisco Regis needs to pay attention to his defensive moves, he has a yellow card on him, and he will be out of the game if he eats another one!" said the Portuguese national television commentator with apprehension.

Villas-Boas, who was standing on the sidelines, was considering whether he should replace Fernando, who was dangerous with a yellow card.

※※※

At the end of the game, Porto dominated at home, and they pressed Dortmund for a half-time drill.

Fernando's job is simple, he plays only one role in the attack - transition.

With James Rodriguez's 45-degree cross from the left being pushed off the line by Falcao, the Porto team retreated into the half in disappointment and waited for Borussia Dortmund to attack.

Weidenfeller kicked the ball in goal, and Tang Zheng beat Fernando and Rolando to rub the ball to Sven Bender next to him.

Sven Bender, who had the ball, quickly played a transitional role and the ball moved to the right side of the attack.

Tang Zheng's running in the front court was ghostly, making it difficult for Fernando to defend, and in a misposition, he committed another defensive foul and kicked down Tang Zheng, who had just received the ball in the direction of the goal.

The referee blew the whistle, and Tang Zheng smiled and made a gesture of pulling out cards to the referee.

As a result, the referee shook his head with a smile, still without meaning to take out the cards.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp approached the fourth official and complained about the referee's decision: "Porto's number 25 has violated my player three times in a row!

The fourth official shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think the referee has his own basis for the decision, but I will convey your opinion." ”

Boas felt bad when he saw Klopp pressuring the fourth official.

Fernando is an important barrier in the midfield, and if he is sent off, it will be a huge blow to the team!

He looked up at the scoreboard, and the game was already eighty-seven minutes into the game.

There are less than three minutes left in regulation time, and a maximum of six minutes of stoppage time.

He felt that the first leg was over, and if he wanted to advance to the round of 16, he could only look forward to the second leg in Westphasco Lun.

So he asked his assistant to call the Brazilian Sousa back from the warm-up area and get ready to play.

However, the players on the pitch were not aware of this, and they were thinking about how to overtake the score before full-time!

In addition, Fernando didn't think so much about helping the team quickly regain possession, just do it!

A minute later, Hummels pressed Falcao to clear the ball, Shaheen at the edge of the penalty area struggled to head the ball, the football flew far away, Tang Zheng in the 40-meter defensive area of his side stuck the position, and used his chest to point the ball to the substitute Foylna.

Then he turned against Fernando's body, and Foyerner's pass also came to Tang Zheng's running route.

Tang Zheng, who raised his elbow and carried Fernando, stretched out his right foot and flicked it to the right, using his body to isolate Fernando's fierce eyes.

Guarin accelerated behind Tang Zheng's flank and right, trying to cut off the ball while Fernando was pestering Tang Zheng and organize the attack again.

But the idea was good, but Tang Zheng seemed to have an eye in the back of his head, and his right instep that controlled the ball pushed the ball forward, and at the same time his left elbow exerted force, accelerating forward with the reaction force from Fernando.

Fernando, as Porto's single back, naturally couldn't let Tang Zheng pass, he used his body to block and dragged Tang Zheng's back shirt hard.

Tang Zheng did not stop to ask the referee for a foul, he re-erected his left elbow and tangled with Fernando to prevent him from getting close to the football.

A few meters away, Tang Zheng's right-footed slide looked like it had made some mistakes, some to the left, and the ball was closer to Fernando.

Fernando, who has excellent tackling ability, is very confident in his movements, and he does not hesitate to exert power on the tip of his left foot and extend his right foot forward.

But at this moment, he was in a bad mood!

Tang Zheng, who ran forward, did not chase the ball, but chose to get stuck first.

In other words, Tang Zheng stuck Fernando's shovel position in advance, and the football was stabbed away by Tang Zheng, who was stuck in the position, with his amazing explosive power.

Although Fernando had the intention of closing his feet at the last moment, he still kicked Tang Zheng.

"Beep~"

The referee blew the whistle.

Boas, who was standing next to the fourth official and still explaining his tactics to Sosa, was stunned for a moment.

"Woo-woo-"

The Porto fans erupted in loud boos again.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said excitedly: "Fernando fouled Don again, I think...... He shouldn't be able to escape this time......"

As soon as the words fell, the referee who appeared in the broadcast camera did not wait for Tang Zheng to complain, his left hand reached into his chest pocket.

Tang Zheng realized that his plan was going to succeed!

There is not much time left in this game and there may not be a goal in the remaining game time, but Fernando's suspension will be a huge benefit for the team's home games in the second leg.

Fernando looked at the referee's second yellow card, covering his face in pain.

Moutinho, Guarin and Falcao are still trying to talk to the referee in the hope that the referee will retract his decision.

However, the referee's decision was still very firm, and he rejected Porto's appeal with a smile.
