Chapter 0039 - Three Leads

The first half of the clash between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund ended with the visitors leading 2-1, a result that many German media did not expect before the game, because from the perspective of the lineup, Werder Bremen are much stronger than Borussia Dortmund, plus they also have the advantage of being at home.

How could Werder Bremen, who are third in the league, not be able to win against sixth-placed Borussia Dortmund?

Judging by at least the forty-five minutes of the first half, Werder Bremen had some difficulty in winning at home to Borussia Dortmund.

During the fifteen-minute break at half-time, substitutes warmed up at Weser Stadium and fans drank beer or ate hamburgers in the stands to refuel.

The commentators commented on the end of the first half, analysing why Dortmund were able to lead the home team Werder Bremen in the first half.

Their comments vary, but one thing is the same, and that is that Dortmund's champion Tang Zheng has been getting better and better this season, and he has been extremely good in this game, and his goals and assists were the biggest contributors to Dortmund's lead away to Werder Bremen.

As for Mesut Ozil's performance, there are mixed reviews.

The equaliser was masterminded, but it also resulted in two goals conceded.

In the home dressing room, Schaaf didn't blame his players because Werder Bremen's style of play is crazy.

There are only two outcomes, either you score or you concede.

Against a team like Borussia Dortmund that plays French and has the ability to counter-attack quickly, it is understandable why they conceded two goals in the first half, and they played more strategically.

In the second half, Dortmund's core tactics remained unchanged, that is, Tang Zheng was the core of the defense based on defense.

They did not hesitate to run to cut through Werder Bremen's passing lanes, especially to tighten the constraints on Mesut Ozil, who seemed to find the nasty powerlessness of the first half.

At this time, the role of Marin is manifested.

He has a nickname in the Bundesliga called 'German Messi', he is extremely flexible in stature, fast and has a strong ability to break through, he is a very suitable player to be a spoiler, and he also has a certain ability to score.

Marin, like Tang Zheng, only joined their respective teams this summer, but his position is a winger, and integrating into the team is not as complicated as Tang Zheng, so he has also entered the 40-man shortlist for this year's European Golden Boy Award created by Torino Sports Newspaper with his excellent performance in the past year.

Throughout the first half, it was the performance time of Tang Zheng and Ozil, as a representative player of the new generation of Germany, he did not allow his peers to step on his shoulders and climb up!

When Ozil was restrained by Tang Zheng, Marin broke out!

The ball he had just received from Frings on the right did not advance as slowly, but took the ball towards the baseline!

Schmelzer didn't expect Marin to suddenly change his strategy, and his reaction was noticeably slower by half a beat.

To make up for a position behind, he had to pick up the pace after completing the turn.

But Marin suddenly picked up his right foot to make a cross during the run, and Schmelzer subconsciously stretched out his foot to block, only to be shaken by Marin's fake fax.

The nimble Marin drilled into the box from the right touchline of the penalty area, and Subotic had to come out to make up for it.

However, Subotic did not dare to take his feet lightly, he knew that Marin's feet were super fast, and the slightest mistake would give the opponent a penalty.

Marin seemed to see through his thoughts, and in the face of Subotich, who was fighting and retreating, he first glanced at Almeida in the middle, and leaned to the right, giving the impression that he was about to pull away the angled pass.

Seeing that Marin's left foot was about to touch the football, Subotic hurriedly stretched out his right leg to intercept, but Marin did not pass the ball with his left foot, but wrapped the ball with the inside of his entire left foot and shot the ball in the direction of the goal.

Tang Zheng, who was in the penalty area, stopped, and he looked at the football passing through the small door of Subotic, helplessly occupying his whole face.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller's vision was disturbed by Subotic, and he waited until he saw the ball rolling at high speed between Subotic's legs before he hurriedly fell to the right of his body.

However, it was too late, Marin's shot from about 14 meters off the goal was sudden, the angle was also tricky, and the speed was fast, it hit the far post and rolled into the goal......

"Whew-"

Suddenly, a loud cheer erupted in the sky above Weser Stadium.

2:2

※※※

Tang Zheng had a lot of responsibility for conceding the goal, and he focused too much attention on the inactive Ozil, so much so that Marin found the feeling of cutting inside on the familiar right side, and by the time he got to the embankment in the penalty area, Marin passed down the triangle.

Moreover, Marin, who has always liked to break through and pass the ball to threaten the ball, changed his normal behavior and chose to shoot directly.

The calmness in front of the door can be seen.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Marin set up Werder Bremen to score the equaliser, and Klopp couldn't help but make adjustments, shouting at Shaheen, who was sitting on the bench: "Nuri, warm up!"

Five minutes later, Shaheen came on in place of the inactive Grosskreuz.

Shaheen and Sven Bender partnered in the back two to free up Tang Zheng and Hajnaul moved to the left.

This substitution does not mean that Dortmund want to attack recklessly, Klopp just wants the team to play a decent attack, and a long period of passivity will result in more goals conceded.

Shaheen's partner Sven Bender can not only stabilize the central midfield defence, but also add a point of possession in attack, and with the two technical players of Tang Zheng and Hajnaul, they can play technical football with Werder Bremen at Weser Stadium!

However, at the beginning, Shaheen was still adapting to the rhythm of the game on the field, after all, he had just released the ban and returned, and it would take some time.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng was not too anxious to move forward, but consciously paid attention to Shahin.

It was Tang Zheng's attention that led to a quick counterattack by Werder Bremen that was strangled in the cradle.

Of course, Tang Zheng also paid the price for a yellow card, and his tackle from behind the side did not touch the football, but instead kicked Mesut Ozil to the ground.

"Thank you. ”

Shaheen was the first to express his gratitude.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile as in the past, "We are teammates. ”

Ozil, who was sitting on the ground, glanced at Tang Zheng resentfully--this guy is really on the same page with himself in this game.

Can you still play well?

In fact, the ball can be played well, but Tang Zheng just can't let Ozil play smoothly.

Because only a problem with the operation of Mesut Ozil can limit Werder Bremen's overall attack to the maximum, Marin's goal can only be said to be the result of a mistake and is not in the way.

※※※

As Shaheen slowly adjusts to the rhythm of the court, Tang Zheng's focus is no longer just on the defense, he is conscious of the positional premise, closer to Barrios, Kuba and Hajnaul up front.

At this time, Dortmund's dominance of possession slowly became apparent.

Tang Zheng, Shaheen, and Hajnaul all have strong ball control ability, and it is generally difficult to be cut off.

Ozil's tragic discovery that although there is no Tang Zheng to defend, he has a lot fewer opportunities to play the ball and organise attacks, and he still has to do defensive work that he doesn't like to do.

Slowly, Borussia Dortmund's midfield used their technical superiority to overpower a midfield dominated by Mesut Ozil, Frings and Borowski.

Looking at the change in the situation on the field, Marcel Leif, a commentator on Sky Deutschland, said: "This is the tactical play that Dortmund should have, they use the technical advantage of the midfield to suppress the strongest attacking group in the Bundesliga this season!"

In this case, striker Almeida is useless, and Schaff wants to replace the tall center Almeida with the more aggressive Swedish striker Rosenberg.

At this moment, Hainauer, who came to the right side, received a pass from Kuba, he looked up at Tang Zheng who entered the penalty area, and then did not hesitate to cross the 45-degree cross from the right!

This is the typical attacking mode of Dortmund when Tang Zheng enters the penalty area!

Storm!

"I want to compete for the ......top of the heads of Nardo and Mertesacker, who are close to two meters," German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti did not finish speaking, he saw Tang Zheng jumping high at the back point, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Don, jump really high!"

Indeed, Mertesacker, who struggled to jump to the highest point, only reached Tang Zheng's chest.

As a result, the home fans at Weser Stadium erupted in an exclamation that quickly swept through the stadium.

Pato, who was sitting in front of the TV and rarely watched the Bundesliga, looked at Tang Zheng who jumped high and his eyes widened.

Jump too high!

Mertesacker, who was pressed down, was naturally not to be outdone, and it was very dangerous to let Tang Zheng top the ball in this position, and his left hand used visual blocking to pull Tang Zheng hard while descending.

Seeing that the football was about to be smashed on his head, the sudden center of gravity backwards made Tang Zheng realize that it was obviously impossible for him to threaten the goal by pushing the ball towards the goal as originally planned......

In the flash of light, Tang Zheng noticed a teammate wearing a yellow and black jersey and stepped into the penalty area, so his body leaned back along Mertesacker, and at the same time, his arms were naturally opened, and his right elbow rested on Mertesacker's left shoulder to maintain his balance.

The power of his forehead was subtly controlled, and the ball flew straight in front of the penalty.

"It's over!!"

It was an exclamation from Werder Bremen coach Schaaf, who was standing on the sidelines.

Goalkeeper Wiese moved in a panic from the near corner, and at the same time commanded Naldo: "Stop him!"

In fact, there is no need to be reminded, Naldo knows what to do.

In this crisis situation, he watched Shahin, who picked up his left foot during the run, throw his body directly out to expand his defensive area.

But Shahin's shot was accurate, not a half-high ball, but close to the ground.

Nardo, who threw his body out, suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, and he turned his head to look over in a panic.

Just in time to see goalkeeper Wiese pounce on the spot, but the speed of the ball was very fast, and there was another bounce before hitting the ground, and the ball rolled into the goal from the armpit of Wiese's left arm.

2:3!

Borussia Dortmund took the lead again in the second half!!
