Chapter 347: Breaking the Ice

Gundogan's position was obvious, and Pellegrini saw it, but he didn't see anything wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his opinion, Tang Zheng's position is too deep, almost on par with Pirlo.

If Gundogan's position is not moved forward, Dortmund's triangle midfield will be pressed into a straight line, and the functions and effects of each other will overlap very much.

Therefore, Pellegrini attributes his change to Gundogan's self-positioning.

But...... Reus and Kubane received ribs, what happened?

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to the attack, and he knows there may be some surprises in the attack.

Long-lost rogue tactics!

Gundogan's forward movement was too obvious for both Tulalang and Isco to notice.

It stands to reason that Isco, who plays in the middle of the midfield, will help defend Gundogan.

But at this moment, Pirlo's foot ball was returned to Tang Zheng again, which means that Tulalang and Isco were all focused on Tang Zheng at the same time.

Tulalang didn't care about Tang Zheng's defense of the forty-meter area, and hurriedly pasted it.

Isco's choice was the same, he chose to focus on Tang Zheng, and selectively forgot that he wanted to retreat and defend Gundogan.

Before the game, head coach Manuel Pellegrini had a relevant advice, as long as Tang Zheng was within his radiation range, he must cooperate with his teammates to defend together.

Tang Zheng turned his back to the goal, stepped on the sole of his right foot, and did a good job of protecting the ball.

For Tang Zheng's ball protection action, Tulalang was used to it, and he didn't think about deliberately breaking the ball.

He knew that Tang Zheng's ability to protect the ball was very strong, so it was very impractical to break the ball, so it was better to use his body to stick to Tang Zheng and not let him handle the ball easily and happily.

However, Tulalang has a good plan, but Tang Zheng has a wall ladder.

Tang Zheng rushed to hand the ball to Pirlo before Tulalang and Isco came up, and Pirlo, who received the football, had a noticeable change, he took the initiative to move closer to Tang Zheng.

Almost no one knew Pirlo's intentions to get close to Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng knew that it was enough.

Pirlo didn't give Tulalang and Isco much time to think, as he flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot and passed it to Tang Zheng, who was bypassing from behind.

Tulalang wanted to stick Tang Zheng, but there was a Pirlo between him and Tang Zheng.

In order to avoid a crash, Tulalang had to brake sharply on the spot.

In this way, he temporarily lost his defense against Tang Zheng.

When the ability reaches Tang Zheng's level, giving him a little room to relax will create an excellent opportunity.

With this in mind, Isco, who is not tall but unusually flexible, shoulders the heavy responsibility of temporarily defending Tang Zheng.

The adducted left midfielder Joaquin was not far from Tang Zheng, and he cooperated with Isco to defend Tang Zheng.

If Tang Zheng dares to take the ball forward, then they will choose to foul without relenting.

Of course, the plan is good, but the opportunity is lacking.

Tang Zheng didn't mean to take the ball personally, he directly picked up Tulalang and Isco behind him.

Tulalang and Isco are not tall, and Tang Zheng's lob height is enough, even if they jump, they may not be able to reach the football.

Seeing this, Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini was suddenly startled in his heart, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously took a step forward.

Ignacio Camacho can only stand in front of the centre-back when Tulalang comes forward to defend Tang Zheng, otherwise it will be very troublesome for Dortmund's two wing-backs to receive the ball and cut inside, especially Reus, who is good at shooting from distance.

In addition, Lewandowski was up front, keeping the duo of centre-backs Demichelis and Sergio Sanchez at bay on and off the penalty line.

Ignacio Camacho was forced by his position and did not press forward, which meant that he was far away from Tulalang and Isco.

Joaquin teamed up with Isco to mark Tang Zheng, and right midfielder Duda followed Royce inside.

Antunes followed the same adducted Kuba without the slightest slackening.

As everyone knows, in the middle of the Malaga defensive half, there is a vacuum area with a diameter of about five meters.

Tang Zheng's provocation is this vacuum area.

※※※

"Oh?" Pirlo in the broadcast camera passed the ball to Tang Zheng quite concealed with the outside of his right foot, and then used his body to block Tulalang, who braked suddenly, Yang 5 commentator He Wei felt that Dortmund's attack was dramatic, and his voice was a few degrees higher: "Tang Zheng received the football, huh?

The football fell into a vacuum, and the live director hurriedly switched to a long shot.

Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, suddenly stood up from his seat: "Beautiful pass, Ilkay!!"

It was only then that Tulalang, who had lost his position, realized what the problem was.

"Whew-"

A large number of fans at Westphala's Lun Stadium are knowledgeable and see very well, so they have a keen sense of the space that the team has created.

It was clearly too late for Tulalang to turn back and Ignacio Camacho, who was standing in front of the centre-back, suddenly looked under pressure.

Gundo, who received the football, quickly entered the 30-metre attacking area, and no one followed him.

In a defensive system, this can be deadly.

Ignacio Camacho hesitated for half a second before decisively choosing to step forward to put pressure on Gundogan.

Once Gundogan is allowed to take the ball a few metres forward, whether it is his pass or a long-range shot, it will pose a huge threat to goalkeeper Caballero's goal.

When it comes to Ignacio Camacho's choice, Pellegrini doesn't feel anything wrong.

Special times should be treated specially.

Immediately, Gundogan took the initiative to slow down the forward speed and then passed the ball to Royce, who came to attack the left flank.

Tulalang was still in the defence, and Ignacio Camacho did not dare to fully complement Reus, instead standing in the middle of Reuss and Gundogan.

It was a clever positioning, as he could react to Reus's cut inside and quickly return to defence after Reus's pass to Gundogan.

"Hey~Marco!"

The ball paused for about a second at Royce's feet until he heard Gundogan's voice.

Reus didn't stick to the ball and quickly handed it to Gundogan, who asked for the ball.

Ignacio Camacho was nervous again, with manager Manuel Pellegrini talking about Gundogan on a number of occasions before the game – his role in Borussia Dortmund's tactical system was very important, he could attack and defend well, and he had a long-range shot, so he didn't dare to slack off.

Gundogan received the ball and did not give Ignacio Camacho any time to think, and directly flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.

"Whew-"

At this moment, there was an even louder cheer at Westfalfa Stadium, almost to the point of deafening.

Straight into the sky!!

Why?

Because Gundogan's pass was for Tang Zheng!

※※※

About four seconds ago, Tang Zheng's pass behind Tulalang and Isco caused some tension in Malaga's defense.

Tang Zheng, who passed the football, was quite a thief in terms of running, he did not run in a straight line, but deliberately went around to attack the right rib to reduce the attention of the opponent.

Judging by the effect of his running, it's great!

Tulalang was anxious to return to the defensive position that should have belonged to him, so he didn't care about recovering Tang Zheng to a 'deeper position'.

Isco was born as an offensive player, and his defensive awareness needed to be strengthened, which meant that Tang Zheng's ghostly run did not attract any attention.

Joaquin noticed Tang Zheng, but his speed is much slower now than when he was younger, and his physical fitness has also declined severely......

※※※

"Gundogan receives a pass from Reuss, what will he do? Kuba plugged in at high speed on the right side, and Lewandowski was also in front, well? Pass to the right? Is there anyone?" Yang 5 commentator He Wei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his voice as the camera switched: "Oh? Tang Zheng!!"

He Wei didn't think specifically about how Tang Zheng could suddenly appear there, his brain was now in a state of complete euphoria.

Because he has rich experience in commenting on the game, he is keenly aware that Tang Zheng's catch is likely to bring a positive reaction to Dortmund!

In the past ten minutes, Tang Zheng has been closely marked by the Málaga defenders, and the normal playmaking attack has been restricted, and now he is unmarked and has a good chance to create great opportunities.

"Whew-"

With the huge cheers that erupted over the Westfal Stadium, Tang Zheng greeted the ball forward.

At the same time, Ignacio Camacho's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously moved his footsteps closer to Tang Zheng.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Tang Zheng, who suddenly appeared in a key position, and central defender Demichelis did not have extra time to think, so he took the initiative to defend Tang Zheng, even if it was a foul.

He had a bad premonition that Tang Zheng's next handling of the ball would be very dangerous.

This position, whether it is a long-range shot or a pass, is very deadly!

Lewandowski didn't pay much attention to Sergio Sanchez's defence and smartly ran towards the space left behind Demichelis.

In this relatively passive situation, Sergio Sanchez had no choice but to follow Lewandowski, and the embankment Tang Zheng suddenly passed behind Demichelis.

Considering Tang Zheng's passing ability, this possibility is very likely, so Sergio Sanchez used very subtle moves while following Lewandowski closely.

Ignacio Camacho was moving fast, but Tang didn't give him a chance to get closer.

I saw Tang Zheng's long leg with his right foot stepping on the incoming ball, pausing for about half a second, and then the inside of the instep of his right foot suddenly rubbed towards the bottom of the football.

The ball quickly left the ground and flew towards the left flank of the attacking side, which is the right flank of the Malaga defence.

Demichelis is still two or three meters away from Tang Zheng, and even if he stretches his right foot, he can't touch the football.

Instinctively, he didn't take his attention off the football and turned his head to look at it.

This look almost scared his soul away.

The live director quickly switched to Dortmund's attack on the left rib, and German Sky commentator Marcel Leif jerked up his voice: "Marco Reuss!"

Right-back Gámez raised his right arm in a panic to alert Reus to offside, but the linesman remained unmoved and followed Reuss forward towards the baseline.

That is, Royce is not offside!

Pellegrini, who was standing in the coaching area of the visiting team, held his head in his hands and felt a little incredible.

How can the backline, which was impregnable for the first few seconds, become porous after a few seconds?

Unscientific!

But seeing is believing, and he can't believe it!

The exact opposite of his expression was Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, five metres away, with his arms raised and his fists clenched, waiting for the result.

Behind the Malaga goal was the North Stand, and it wasn't the fervent Dortmund fans who were looking forward to the moment, and they were raising their arms......

Reus stretched his right foot on the run, unloaded the ball very comfortably, and in the face of Caballero, who was abandoned, he was very clever to fake a real shot, shake the opponent, and then open the net.

※※※

"Tang Zheng rubbed the back of the Malaga defense! Reuss! His stop was beautiful, the shot was on goal, no! fake shot real buckle! there were!!there was!!empty goal!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately and indignantly: "The ball is in! The ball is in!

Reus made sure the ball rolled into the empty goal, then quickly turned his back to the goal, and pointed his right index finger at Tang Zheng, who had delivered a subtle assist, and his handsome face showed an excited smile, signaling to celebrate the goal together.

Tang Zheng ran over knowingly, and Gundogan, Kuba, Lewandoves, Schmelzer and others also surrounded to celebrate the belated goal.

Although the goal was not scored by Tang Zheng, it came from his tandem organization and assists calculated to the millimeter.

The Westphalen Stadium resounded with the passionate voice of announcer Norbert Diccol: "It was Marco who scored the goal—"

"-Royce!!"

Nearly 80,000 Dortmund fans are very good at playing, and their collective chanting is quite tacit, like a volcanic magma sprayed out, which is very sensory impact.

Immediately, the live director restored the whole process of Dortmund's goal.

In fact, the whole process of scoring a goal is very simple, Tang Zheng returned from the front position to the back position, used Gundogan's forward insertion to open up the three-dimensional passing space, and then cooperated with Pirlo's cover to complete the empty pass.

Quite clever in position, bypassing the Malaga central defence.

Tang Zheng, who was unmarked, did not deal with the ball as soon as possible, but waited.

Until Royce runs into place......

After celebrating the goal with his teammates, Tang Zheng deliberately rubbed Gundogan's hair affectionately, and said with a smile: "Ilkay, beautiful!"

Gundogan shrugged his shoulders and was very modest: "It's you who design it well." ”

"No, no, no, this is your control of the timing very well, if you delay this attack by half a second or half a second faster, the opportunity is fleeting......"

The cheers at the scene were deafening, and Tang Zheng had to raise his voice and said very seriously.

For Tang Zheng's praise, Gundogan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Because as he walked back, his mind was back to the team's attack.

He found that what Tang Zheng said was very reasonable......

At the same time, Isco, who made bold statements before the game, looked at Tang Zheng and felt very uncomfortable.

is also a golden boy, why is the gap so big?

It wasn't until Duda patted him on the shoulder that he withdrew his gaze, turned his head and said, "What?"

Duda shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed, as if it was not Malaga who conceded the goal, and said quite comfortably: "Don't have too much baggage, it's not a bad thing to concede the goal away first, don't forget that we drew 1-1 at home, and scoring in the away game can have the possibility of qualifying, and now the deadlock is broken, which is our chance." ”

Isco put his head in his hands and thought about it, and it was.

It's not over yet!!
