Chapter 113: The Chinese can also influence the Champions League final

"Whoa—"

The Real Madrid fans at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv were full of passion, dancing and venting the excitement brought by Benzema's goal.

Many Liverpool fans are holding their heads in their hands, looking incredible, but there are also many Liverpool fans who are facing referee Milorad Mazic with their arms raised, and in their perception, Benzema is a foul.

In fact?

Not!

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is familiar with the rules of football, shook his head helplessly, and did not put pressure on the fourth official like the players gathered around the referee Milorad Mazic because it was a mistake by Karius.

Being young always comes at a price.

It's just that...... This price is a bit big.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson tried to convince referee Milorad Mazic to be quite emotional, and the PPTV commentator Zhan Jun trembled when he watched it, but fortunately Milorad Mazic was very patient and did not directly show the yellow card to the protesting Liverpool captain, but explained it.

Through the slow-motion replay, the on-site commentator also explained to the fans in front of the TV through his profound knowledge that after all, the goalkeeper's hand-tossed ball is intercepted in the football field very rarely, and the frequency is not as frequent as the big kick is broken, so the fans' awareness is limited.

Commentators are different, they have to know the rules of football very well, otherwise it is difficult to convince the public.

As Yang 5 commentator He Wei said, goalkeeper Karius was no longer effectively in possession of the ball, and his right hand completely threw the football out.

The rules of the soccer game clearly stipulate that the goalkeeper's effective possession of the ball refers to the moment when the goalkeeper throws the ball upwards with his hand or kick.

Obviously, it was Karius himself who made a fatal mistake.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were desperate, they held their heads in their hands and looked confused.

But there are also many active fans who experienced the thrilling Champions League final in 2004-2005, when Liverpool's overall strength was not as good as that of their opponents AC Milan.

After falling behind by three goals in the first half, AC Milan was even heard celebrating the victory in the dressing room in advance during the break, and it didn't turn out to be three goals in nine minutes?

Have the last laugh?

The biggest charm of football matches is that they are full of uncertainty, strength does not mean results, and there are too many cases of the weak defeating the strong in world football.

Sure enough!

Liverpool, who were behind in the restart, fought hard to catch up, and Lu Liang, who was in the premise of the position, was able to play one-on-one with Nacho in football, and his successive breakthroughs caused Real Madrid's overall defense to lean towards the right side of the side.

Again pretending to go down to deceive Nacho and Casemiro, the center of gravity of the body tilted towards the bottom line, Lu Liang stopped on the spot, took the ball back with the outside of his right foot, and then crossed, Firmino grabbed in front of Ramos to complete the header and rubbed back, Mane, who was ambushed at the back point, was very alert, flashed in front of Marcelo with a cushion of instep, goalkeeper Navas made a save, but in the face of a close shot can only be declared out of reach......

Everyone thought Real Madrid would break the deadlock and take control of the game with Karius' package, but no one expected Liverpool to equalise after only five minutes of trailing.

This...... It's a huge boost for Liverpool.

"Whoa—"

The Liverpool fans in the stands were particularly excited, as if they had seen a big comeback happen.

Zidane and Klopp's expressions on the broadcast screen made a 180-degree turn, Zidane went from relaxed to worried, and Klopp breathed a sigh of relief, for him a draw meant an opportunity.

His Liverpool team lacks a soul core like Tang Zheng, so they won't play against the wind at all, and a draw can allow players to relax a little and not worry about the outcome of the game, so as to play at a higher level.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid took the lead in making substitutions, with James Rodriguez replacing Casemiro, Tang Zheng retreating, and the formation changed to four-three-three.

Some commentators don't quite understand Zidane's adjustments, because Liverpool are very attacking, and it is not cost-effective to replace a defensive midfielder with an attacking player, after all, Modric and Toni Kroos are better at attacking than defending.

However, when Tang Zheng went to a position further back than Modric and Toni Kroos, these commentators understood that Zidane's tactical intention was to put Tang Zheng in the back to organize the attack, and Modric and Toni Kroos took turns to push the forward position.

In this way, we can not only make reasonable use of Tang Zheng's strong defensive ability, but also look forward to the rich results brought by Tang Zheng's participation in the offense.

※※※

Real Madrid made the second substitution adjustment of the game, but Klopp's Liverpool did not make a targeted deployment, but considering the strength of the Liverpool bench players, it is understandable why Klopp did not move.

Tang Zheng's retreat to the defensive midfield position can ensure the safety of football when the team is attacking, and the transition from offense to defense can protect space, which perfectly interprets the responsibilities of defensive midfielders.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said with a smile: "Tang Zheng's debut position is a defensive midfielder, but in recent seasons he has rarely played this position, especially since Zidane became the head coach of Real Madrid, he is more of a forward midfielder, I can't imagine that he is still outstanding in this position again, and the all-round midfielder really deserves his name!"

Commentator Xu Yang tapped his chin: "Tang Zheng can be called the miracle of world football, he can be a man in defense, and he can seal his throat with a sword in attack, looking at the history of world football, I really can't find a stronger all-round midfielder than him!"

He Wei and Xu Yang's comments may be compliments in the ears of some fans, but in fact they are not, because the data handed over by Tang Zheng at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends can prove himself.

This is also the hottest reason why Tang Zheng is the hottest in every summer transfer window!

As long as the team lineup is not weak, with Tang Zheng joining, you can definitely join the ranks of the competition!

A look at Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid in the past will give you the answer.

Getting back to business, Real Madrid, who made substitutions, re-stabilized the situation, and Tang Zheng, who played as a defensive midfielder, could use his outstanding vision to determine the direction and attack of the team, so as to continuously threaten the Liverpool defence.

Klopp, who had been determined, couldn't stand up, and he frequently walked to the edge of the visiting coach's command area to give orders to the players on the field and solve the team's defense.

But...... How can a player put so much thought on the sidelines?

They have to be 100 per cent focused on the game, otherwise it will be a fatal blow!

Klopp saw Tang Zheng continuously controlling the ball in front of the central defender, his eyes lit up, and he took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball to pull Lu Liang to explain.

I have to say that Klopp's on-the-spot observation ability is outstanding, but Tang Zheng's dribbling and ball control ability is really not covered, and he can still use his body and technique to maintain control of the football in the face of Lu Liang, Firmino and Mane's three-man package.

In the end, Mane got the ball and was about to counter-attack on the spot, only to hear the whistle from referee Milorad Mazic.

"Beautiful!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei was passionate: "Tang Zheng's ball protection ability can be called the world's top, want to break the ball?"

Lu Liang, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane once again tried to counter-attack Tang Zheng, who controlled the football on the right side of the center circle arc, through a three-man steal.

However, Tang Zheng seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, and he stepped on the right foot of the football and pulled the football back, and the football just drilled between the legs of Firmino who pounced.

Immediately, Tang Zheng leaned against Lu Liang's body to the right rear to complete a ninety-degree turn, and stepped on the football with his right foot at the center of gravity of the center of gravity in the middle circle.

Firmino was depressed and pounced on Tang Zheng again, but Tang Zheng did not stick to the ball again this time, he passed the ball to central defender Varane with the outside of his right foot, and at the same time used his gesture to direct Varane to develop the ball to the left side of Marcelo's attack.

"Whoa—"

At the same time, the sky above the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv resounded with the loud cheers of Real Madrid fans.

The defensive attention of the Liverpool defenders was leaning towards the right side of the defence, and not many people noticed that Tang Zheng, who had been behind Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, did not stay where he was, but ran forward.

Modric and Toni Kroos' positions have changed from parallel to deep, supplementing the gaps left by Tang Zheng's forward insertion.

"Watch out for Don!"

Klopp immediately noticed that Tang Zheng was inserted, but the frenzied atmosphere at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv was still there, and the attention of the players on the field was on the field, so Klopp's reminder could not be transmitted to the ears of the players on the field at all.

It wasn't until Tang Zheng came to the top of the arc of the penalty area that Liverpool captain Henderson noticed Tang Zheng.

Obviously, he was surprised.

Why did Tang Zheng step forward here?

By the time Henderson realized that he wanted to defend Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng had already bypassed and entered the penalty area, but seeing that Lovren and Van Dijk were in defensive positions, and Benzema was the only one in the penalty area, he did not pull the jersey behind Tang Zheng, he paused, and chose to follow Tang Zheng into the penalty area to prevent Tang Zheng from receiving the ball in the penalty area.

Real Madrid attacked on the left, with Marcelo, James Rodriguez and Luka Modric winning space for James Rodriguez through successive passes and runs, with James Rodriguez picking up a left-footed cross.

Van Dijk concentrated on defending Benzema in the penalty area, and Lovren clinged to Tang Zheng who entered the box without hesitation.

Tang Zheng, who was pasted by Lovren, consciously leaned back with his back, just as James Rodriguez picked up his left foot, Lovren thought that Tang Zheng was going to be offside, and chose to take the initiative to retreat.

At this moment, the football flew to the front of the penalty area, Tang Zheng braked sharply on the spot, saw the momentum of the football, he took a big step forward with his back to the goal, landed with his left foot and pushed the ground, the upper half of the body leaned back, and the whole person rose into the air, swinging his right foot from back to front, and kicking the football hard with the instep.

Henderson hurriedly approached Tang Zheng to put pressure, and Lovren, who was deceived by Tang Zheng into retreating in advance, took a small step forward and jumped high, ready to block Tang Zheng's shot with his body.

Van Dijk also jumped forward.

"J Ronaldo crosses ......" The Yang 5 commentator saw Tang Zheng in the penalty area leaning back, his left foot slammed forward from the back to the front, and his hands subconsciously stood up with the commentary platform, shouting: "Hang the golden hook upside down!!"

The ball flew over the head of the jumping Lovren and quickly flew towards the top left corner of the goal.

Van Dijk, who jumped back, turned his head with the football and pinned his hopes entirely on goalkeeper Karius, after all, Karius has performed remarkably except for that mistake so far in this game.

But...... Tang Zheng's upside-down golden hook is full of power, and the angle is very tricky.

Karius's vision was also disturbed to a certain extent, he reacted very quickly in front of the goal, but Tang Zheng's shot was very close, the angle power was good, he jumped on the spot with limited strength, and his right arm that was stretched out couldn't touch the football, and the football grazed the left goal post and flew into the corner of the goal, crashing into the snow-white net......

“Goooooooooooooooooooal——”

British Sky Commentator Andy Grey couldn't help but elongate his voice.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~~"

He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, was in a high mood and shouted almost frantically: "This ball should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world?

"Whoa—"

In a frenzied atmosphere, the guest commentator Xu Yang also fell into extreme excitement, and his emotions were high: "Oh~ so beautiful! Tang Zheng scored an earth-shattering upside-down golden hook in the Champions League final! Incredible goal!!"

"Perhaps...... Maybe if you let Tang Zheng kick it a hundred times, you may not be able to kick it again!

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, did not expect that the brilliant choice would be so beautiful, so he was extremely excited, he quickly stood up with his hands on the turf, and then opened his arms, bent down to avoid the hugs of Benzema and Bale, and ran all the way to the corner flag on the right side of the attack to play a sliding kneeling celebration.

“Taaaaaaaaaaaaaang——”

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were very excited at this moment, dancing with their hands, venting the surging feeling in their hearts and elongating their voices.

Martin Taylor, a guest commentator on Sky TV, watched with a look of intoxication: "Don once again told us what superstar performance is! With a height of more than 1.9 meters, he actually made a move in the penalty area that only a 1.7 meter player can do, and he was smooth and full of ornamentation!"

Zidane, who was standing in the command area of the coach of the home team, raised his arms and shouted while letting out a sigh of relief, venting the release of great pressure.

In stark contrast to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Sadio Mane has just equalised and now Real Madrid is ahead of the scoreline, who will step up next and help the team equalize?

Jurgen Klopp looked back at the bench and saw that there were no players to adjust to the pitch.

At the end of the day, it's still the bench that doesn't have enough depth.

Last summer scratch lottery style bought Salah, that...... This summer...... Will you still scratch the lottery ticket?

Of course, now that the situation is in crisis, Klopp has no more thoughts on next season, and now he needs to solve the problem of the team's equaliser.

But Klopp's worries didn't last long, and in the 69th minute, Liverpool switched from defending to attacking, and the football quickly passed from the feet of Firmino to the feet of Lu Liang, who was pulling on the left side of the attack.

Lu Liang knew that the soldiers were fast, he made an illusion of going to the baseline in the face of Nacho's defense, and then slammed the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, and picked up his right foot about 28 meters from the goal on the right rib of the attack.

Sudden cold arrows!

It was too late for Tang Zheng to make up for it, and he turned his head to salute.

The ball arced in mid-air, bypassing the outstretched right arm of Navas, who was making a save, and crashed into the top right corner of the goal......

2:2!!

"Oh~"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's emotions broke out again, and he was more excited than when Tang Zheng scored the world wave: "The goal is in! It's the world wave again! Lu Liang helps the passive Liverpool equalize again! The Chinese can influence the Champions League final! Tang Zheng can! Lu Liang can too!"
