Chapter 334: Deciduous Ball

Weidenfeller took a short ball in goal, and the ball quickly came to the feet of Tang Zheng after a continuous pass from the center and back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to reduce unnecessary physical exertion, he chose to hand the football to his teammates and then slowly run forward on his own to gain space for passing.

However, Tang Zheng had his first goal, and Shakhtar Donetsk's two-man duo of Fernandinho and Xu Buschman kept a strict watch on him and did not give him a chance at all.

In the blink of an eye, the game time came to thirty minutes.

At this time, Tang Zheng felt that he might faint at any time.

With an extraordinary endurance, he persevered.

And the price he paid was that almost no piece of meat in his lower lip was good.

However, he was not displeased, but became more and more energetic.

Saliva has the ability to disinfect, and the bitten lower lip will feel a tingling sensation when it comes into contact with saliva.

It was this tingling sensation that allowed Tang Zheng to gain more time.

As time passed, the tingling became weaker and weaker, and the feeling of dizziness became clearer and clearer.

"Damn it!"

Tang Zheng spit out a mouthful of saliva and spit on the ground, venting his dissatisfaction.

Two minutes later, Tang Zheng got a long-range shot in front of the arc of the penalty area through a nimble and ghostly run.

“Taaaaaaaaaaaang――”

Marcel Leif jerked up his voice.

The next moment, he had to change his voice and muttered in embarrassment: "Oh-it's a pity!

Due to Tang Zheng's weak long-range shot, the football was easily held in the arms of goalkeeper Pyatov.

Instead of throwing a quick goal kick or kicking a counter-attack, he pressed the ball under him as if he were in a desperate situation.

Before the game, the goalkeeper coach had a key angle, and you must hit the attention when Tang Zheng is within range of the ball, otherwise he will teach you how to behave.

That's why Pyatov felt like he was in a desperate situation.

The game continued, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and Dortmund, who had the superior strength, dominated.

Tang Zheng's current style of play has the feeling of commanding three armies, he rarely faces the direction of attack, he always makes a pass by turning his head left and right in advance, and then directs the pass at the receiving point through gestures.

Fortunately, Gundogan and central defender Hummels have strong passing and organisational skills, otherwise Dortmund's attack would have been really difficult to maintain.

In addition, Gotze in the front court has the ability to organize the attack, and Lewandowski has the ability to respond to the attack, but it is impossible to see that Tang Zheng 'does not contribute to the work'.

Of course, this is related to the sharp decline in Tang Zheng's physical fitness.

Klopp has been standing in the coaching area of the away team for a while, and he has long been aware of Tang Zheng's serious 'dumping' behavior in the attack, but thinking of Tang Zheng's imaginative ability to organize the attack, he does not ask him to face the offensive direction more head-on.

Offense is all about efficiency!

Only talk about the result, not the process.

Moreover, during this period of time, Shakhtar Donetsk's defenders will have some small moves against Tang Zheng, who has too much ball, and in order to maintain the fluency of the attack, it is understandable to kick the ball.

At this time, He Wei suddenly said: "I always feel that today's Tang Zheng is a little different, in the past, he may have turned his back to the offensive direction, but is it a bit too much to have his back to the offensive direction in today's game?"

As soon as the words fell, Gundogan once again passed directly to Tang Zheng.

Fernandinho thought that Tang Zheng would be as jealous of his own defense as in the past, and handed the ball to other Dortmund receiving points.

But this time it was a little different, Tang Zheng led the football back with the outside of his right foot, and completed the turn to meet the ball.

The whole action is done in one go, which is very ornamental!

"Whoa, whoa—"

With the huge exclamation that sounded in the Donbass Arena, Fernandinho suddenly realized that Tang Zheng's previous back to the ball was a routine!

And Tang Zheng's turning rate is like a big man of 1.9 meters.

Nima!

Turn around faster than you do!

Fernandinho's reaction was not unhappy, and he chose to stretch his leg to trip Tang Zheng when he couldn't reach the ball.

Tang Zheng had already prepared and jumped early, but his strength did not keep up at the moment he kicked the ground.

It is equivalent to saying that the dodge of the jump was not enough, and the foot that dragged behind rested on the instep of Fernandinho's elongated right foot.

The referee on duty had the whistle in his mouth, waiting for Tang Zheng to fall to the ground.

Tang Zheng has always given fans the impression that he is tough, never flinching in the face of physical confrontation, and moving forward bravely.

No less so this time!

Although the sole of his left foot that stepped forward felt a serious lack of strength at the moment of kicking the ground, he still gritted his teeth and held on.

He did not fall to the ground with the center of gravity of his body, but leaned forward with his upper body, and with the help of the strength of his arms, he did not fall.

So the whistle did not sound, and the referee, who was standing next to the place of the incident, stretched out his arms to signal that the attack was advantageous and the game continued.

Almost everyone thought that Tang Zheng would fall to the ground and then win a free kick in front.

The result?

Tang Zheng gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet to maintain his body balance, and stepped forward.

※※※

"Beautiful! The game continues!!" There was an indescribable sense of pride in the tone of He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5.

Immediately, his tone was full of anger: "Xu Buschman's foul is very bad, at least get a yellow card!"

Time goes back two seconds ago.

Tang Zheng advanced two or three meters from the attacking 35-meter area, and Xu Buschman, as the last barrier in front of the current team's backline, realized that he could not let Tang Zheng go again, otherwise the team would be in danger.

After all, fouls are always technical, and the sooner the better.

Xu Buschman faced Tang Zheng's upper body and the ball with his right foot and instep of his right foot, and decisively fouled, and his extended left leg hung directly on Tang Zheng's left thigh.

The reason for this choice was the fear of a defensive surprise by Fernandinho, a midfield partner.

Immediately, the referee on duty blew the whistle in his mouth, ran to the place of the incident with an unkind face, and did not give Xu Buschman a chance to explain, and directly took out a yellow card from his pocket.

Lewandowski wanted to reason with Schübschman, but saw that the referee gave him a yellow card, so he didn't say anything more.

Lewandowski, who was near the place of the incident, wanted to reach out and pull Tang Zheng up, but he saw Tang Zheng lying on the ground, his eyes closed, panting for breath in his mouth, looking very uncomfortable.

So, he squatted on the ground and pushed Tang Zheng's arm, and asked curiously, "Hmm?Tang??"

At the same time, the on-site director also gave Tang Zheng a close-up.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif raised his eyebrows: "Thomas Schübschmann's foul is very targeted, and the action is a bit big, but it shouldn't be~"

He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, also said: "Tang Zheng was lying on the ground and didn't get up, what is the situation?

Lewandowski pushed it twice, and seeing that Tang Zheng didn't react, he subconsciously touched Tang Zheng's sweaty forehead and blurted out: "It's so hot." ”

Out of instinct, Lewandowski wanted to get up and beckon the team doctor to come in, but Tang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, pulled his elbow and said, "I'm fine." ”

"But...... Your forehead is hot. Lewandowski said with a frown.

"Help me up. ”

Lewandowski let out an "oh" and stretched out his hand to pull Tang Zheng.

He could feel that Tang Zheng's body was very weak, so he wanted to say something.

But Tang Zheng gave Lewandowski a reassuring smile, and then said: "Robert, my body knows best, it's okay." ”

"Is it really okay?" Lewandowski said, confused.

"Of course! The body has never felt so good as it is now!" Tang Zheng gave a thumbs up with his right hand.

Lewandowski looked at Tang Zheng's back and shook his head, didn't think much about it, and naturally walked towards the Donetsk Shakhtar's penalty area.

As a striker at the front of the team, you have to be at the front all the time.

Seeing Tang Zheng stand up, the head coach Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief, if Tang Zheng was injured in this bad weather, there would be no place to cry.

He slandered in his heart, damn the lottery!

Why didn't the Celtics let us draw?

※※※

Hummels, who was slowly running up near the middle line, pulled Tang Zheng's elbow, Tang Zheng knew what his friend wanted to say, and shook his head with a smile: "I feel that there is still 70% energy in my body!!"

Tang Zheng's stubbornness and perseverance, Hummels knew very well, he shook his head, and did not persuade again.

In fact?

He felt infinitely close to losing consciousness.

So, he repeated the same trick, and at the same time consciously clenched his fists until he felt the pain in his fingertips.

Shübschman's foul drained him too much energy and spirit, and now he has a direct free-kick opportunity that he wants to try......

He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, changed the topic, saw Tang Zheng holding the football in the broadcast camera and put it at the foul site, and said curiously: "This is a direct free kick opportunity 31 meters away from the goal." ”

Normally, Andrea Pirlo is the team's first set-piece taker, followed by Gotze and Gundogan......

Now Andrea Pirlo is back from injury and is on the bench, with Gotze and Gundogan being the second and third picks, but Tang Zheng wants to deal with this direct free-kick, and they have no intention of refusing.

Anyway, this direct free kick was created by Tang Zheng himself, so it doesn't matter if he squanders it.

However, considering Tang Zheng's strong long-range shooting skills, perhaps his direct free kick this time may bring some surprises.

Marcel Leif was excited: "Don is in good form, he scored a goal, I think he is full of confidence now! Guys! Let's look forward to Dortmund taking a two-goal lead in the Donbass Arena!"

Tang Zheng's sudden change of rhythm obtained a direct free kick in a very good position, facing the goal head-on, and the data given by the broadcaster was a straight line distance of 31 meters.

It is within Tang Zheng's range of fire.

After all, Tang Zheng has scored many long-range shots in this position.

The question now is whether Tang Zheng can play a high-quality long-range shot at a standstill.

Compared with sports warfare, set-pieces have an additional human wall, which is equivalent to saying that a wall has been erected in front of the penalty taker, and if you want to send the football into the net, the first thing you need to do is to bypass the human wall.

Although Shakhtar Donetsk is an Eastern European team, there are very few tall players in the team, but they are looking for technical ability, and they send out a starting team that is not high.

Despite this, the wall at a distance of 9.15 metres from the set-piece was close to three metres after a hard jump, so it was difficult to control the kick of the ball over the wall and then down, meaning that the ball could not fly up and down until it was above the crossbar.

Even if there is a fish that slips through the net, the goalkeeper standing in front of the door is not a spectator.

Unless you have the right power and angle, it's hard to get a shot.

In particular, direct free kicks more than 30 meters from the goal require stricter footwork from the punisher.

At this moment, Tang Zheng half-opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and his eyes automatically ignored the human wall in front of him, and even the goalkeeper Pyatov was on the list of ignorance, and he looked directly at the goal thirty meters away.

Specifically, it should be the top right corner of the goal.

Perhaps due to habit, Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Pyatov opted for a four-man wall to block the near corner, which is the right side of Tang Zheng facing the goal.

And Pyatov stood in the near corner of the goal, that is, to the left of the goal where Tang Zheng could kick the football.

※※※

The four-man wall of Shakhtar Donetsk was finally lined up slowly under the intervention of the referee, Tang Zheng took three steps back, and at the same time made some fine-tuning to the running position, waiting for the referee's whistle.

Immediately, Tang Zheng naturally closed his eyes, half-opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and his brain quickly simulated this direct free kick.

The footage of the live broadcast was given to Tang Zheng's back, which was conducive to the commentators and fans to enjoy the panorama, but no one noticed Tang Zheng's mental malaise.

"Beep~"

Dortmund's usual direct free kicks Tang Zheng is standing in the penalty area waiting for the opportunity to fight for the top, this time standing directly in front of the football, which means that he doesn't need to guess to know that he is going to play, so there are no other teammates next to him.

With the referee's whistle, Tang Zheng opened his eyes suddenly.

If someone observes carefully, they can see that his eyes are hot, and he is bound to win this direct free kick!

The human wall of four people was fully prepared, waiting for Tang Zheng to shoot and jump with all his might.

After about half a second, Tang Zheng began to run.

One step, two steps!

The distance spanned in the third step was a bit long, Tang Zheng's left foot was about 30 centimeters on the left side of the football, and his left arm was naturally raised to maintain his body balance.

Tang Zheng's right foot swung like a whip from back to front, as Pirlo usually taught, first touching the ball with the tip of his toe, then following forward with his right foot, changing to the arch of the ball the moment the ball left the ground.

“Boom~”

The moment the two come into contact, there is a crisp collision sound.

Shakhtar Donetsk's four-man wall jumps the moment it hears the sound, but the speed and height of the soccer ball is enough.

The wall did not play a role in blocking the shots, and the football continued to fly towards the goal!

Goalkeeper Pyatov's vision was naturally disturbed by the human wall, and when he saw the football over the human wall, he wanted to make a foot move, but the height of the football seemed to be a bit high......

Based on past theoretical knowledge and racing experience, the chance of going over the crossbar is as high as 99%!

But there are always surprises!

The soccer ball flew to its highest point and then plummeted like a dead leaf falling from a tree.

Pyatov, who opted to block the near corner, was too late to move, and all he could do was keep his eyes on the ball.

At this moment, he thought of that afternoon when he first came into contact with football.

Running in the sunset is his lost youth.

The sudden drop of the soccer ball almost grazing the lower edge of the beam and throwing it into the snow-white net......
