Chapter 108: Picking and Spreading the Truth
On August 23, local time in Germany, the attention of the German mainstream media was basically focused on North Rhine-Westphalia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the last league game of the first round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season, Bayer Leverkusen sat at home to Dortmund and kicked off on time at the Bayer Arena.
The stadium was packed, and the atmosphere was frenetic.
Both home and away fans are creating a unique frenzy for the North Rhine-Westphalia derby, allowing players from both sides to focus on the game.
In this game, the visiting Dortmund continued to line up the strongest and stable lineup with Tang Zheng as the front midfield, the striker is Barrios, the left winger Gotze, the right side is Kuba, Kyle and Shaheen partner in the back, the left back Schmelzer, the right back Owomoyera, the double central defender is Hummels and Subotic, and the goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
Although Tang Zheng was in the starting lineup in the midfield position, he did not stay in the midfield all the time, but used his abundant physical energy to run non-stop in the midfield of Bayer Leverkusen to attract the defensive attention of the home team's players.
This is the case of Bayer Leverkusen's central midfield partner Vidal and former German national team captain Ballack, who have often subconsciously paid attention to Tang Zheng's space of movement.
However, Dortmund's left winger Gotze has the ability to break through on the wing, and also has a strong ability to organize attacks, which maximizes the benefits of Tang Zheng's large-scale running.
Bayer Leverkusen coach Heynckes looked at the situation on the field and frowned, his expression a little worried.
There is no doubt that Tang Zheng is Dortmund's number one dangerous man.
But at the beginning of the game, but at this stage, Tang Zheng did not handle the ball too much, but let Gotze, who can play the position of the forward midfield, organize the team's overall attack.
Vidal and Ballack focused too much attention on Tang Zheng, which directly gave Gotze plenty of space to get the ball.
"Whoa~"
With a loud exclamation over the Bayer Arena, Barrios held his head in his hands in remorse, and he appeared on the broadcast camera with a look of remorse.
The voice of the German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was full of regret, saying: "What a pity! Mario Gotze managed to find the running striker Barrios after a successful through ball on the left flank, but it was ...... He didn't adjust his pace at the moment of shooting, and his left foot was too far away from the ball in the final shot, resulting in an anti-aircraft gun on the target......"
Yang 5 commentator Duan Huo shook his head and said: "It's a pity, otherwise Dortmund can take the lead away from home." ”
"When Tang Zheng was under special attention from Vidal and Ballack, Mario Gotze was active and found space to pass the ball on the left flank......"
The old coach Heynckes finally couldn't sit still when he saw this wave of thrilling defense, he rushed to the sidelines and shouted at Ballack: "Don't defend in a targeted manner, stand in a defensive position, and pay attention to the protection of the middle!"
Barak gave Heynckes a thumbs up in understanding.
As a football veteran over 30 years old, he has particularly strong field control and tactical execution, and knows that this change is the best adjustment.
However, after the adjustment, there was still the result that Heynckes least wanted to see.
Tang Zheng, who is very active in his position, immediately showed his value after losing his targeted defense, and his balls, through balls, long-range shots or headers from behind will pose a huge threat to German international Adler.
Thankfully, Adler was outstanding during this period, making high saves and low blocks to keep the goal intact.
The Dortmund fans at the Bayer Arena saw their team perform well, and the crowd of just 3,000 outburst into a frenzy that magically suppressed the Leverkusen fans who were nine times their size.
It has to be said that the professionalism of the Dortmund fans is outstanding.
※※※
In the nineteenth minute, Tang Zheng received a ball from Götze at the front of the penalty area through flexible running.
He rushed up to the Finnish demon Hyypia, then glanced up at the position of goalkeeper Adler, and picked up his right foot at the same time!
"Don—"
German Sky commentator Marcel Leife lengthened his voice.
Hyypia, who had just stepped into the big penalty area, kicked his left foot to the ground, leaned forward, and raised his right foot, trying to use his body to block Tang Zheng's shot.
Because Tang Zheng's long-range shooting ability is famous in the Bundesliga, Hyypia's forward blocking is unreserved.
The corners of Tang Zheng's mouth, who exaggerated his right foot, turned up slightly, raising a good-looking arc.
Instead of kicking the ball with his right foot, he gently squeezed the ball to the left with the inside of his right instep and slammed it past Hyypia's defense.
"It's ...... Don's fake-shot is a real buckle!" Marcel Leff's chant changed sharply, and his momentum continued unabated.
At the same time, Bayer Leverkusen coach Heynckes, who was standing on the sidelines, had his pupils shrink suddenly, and he felt bad in his heart.
Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who was standing not far away, took an excited step forward and leaned into the pitch with his upper body.
Hyypia's momentum was too strong, and there was no way to face Tang Zheng's fake shot and real buckle.
Another central defender, Lenatz, is responsible for marking Barrios, and he is also some distance away from Tang Zheng, so Castro, the left-back who receives the middle, naturally takes care of the important task of defending Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zheng didn't give him this opportunity, and when he came to the big penalty area, he picked up his right foot.
Goalkeeper Adler held his breath and was full of attention, and his bright eyes were very nervous at Tang Zheng's feet.
Castro opted for a gambling sliding tackle from two meters away to block the shot!
"Shoot !!" Marcel Leif chanted the same, full of excitement.
"Whoa, whoa—"
A loud exclamation erupted from the sky above the Bayer Arena.
Everyone's attention was on Tang Zheng, who was on the bow, thinking that he would pick up his right foot and shoot the goal when he was unmarked!
This distance is a very high hit rate for his long-range shooting skills!
"Tang Zheng-" Duan Huo, the commentator of Yang 5, sat up straight, his voice was a few degrees higher than before, and shouted: "-Shoot!!"
The commentator Xu Yang did not speak, but his eyes were staring at the football that appeared in the camera.
Tang Zheng, who has a wide field of vision, has already focused on Castro, who has come over to make up for it, so there is a certain reason why he chose to commit crimes against the wind!
Because......
Castro, who fell to the ground, looked at the football flying in front of him, and he looked powerless.
In his eyes, he was full of despair.
Next to Tang Zheng, there was a yellow figure, passing by.
※※※
When Tang Zheng detained Hyypia, almost everyone's attention on Tang Zheng was on Tang Zheng, so that Shahin who was inserted from Tang Zheng's right rear went unnoticed.
Coupled with Tang Zheng's exaggerated right foot on the line of the big penalty area, no one doubts that he will not shoot again.
In fact, Tang Zheng did not shoot.
He put down his right foot again, and then gently lifted the ball forward with the tip of his right foot.
At the same time, Shahin, who was inserted in the back, swept past the right side of Tang Zheng's body.
It's not fast, but it feels like a yellow whirlwind blowing by.
"Whoa, whoa—"
Seeing this, the Dortmund fans suddenly erupted into a tsunami-like chant and became the master of the Bayer Arena.
Hearing this huge chant, the little heart of the Leverkusen fans came to their throats.
Tang Zheng's pick pass was in the same direction as the attack on the right rib and Shahin, so goalkeeper Adler nervously moved from the middle of the goal to the near corner, that is, the right goal post on the offensive side.
Shahin, who was running, passed where Castro had slid and then adjusted the ball with the sole of his right foot to pick up his right foot about 14 meters from goal.
Shot!
Adler had been shaken twice by Tang Zheng's exaggerated but real fake shot before, and this time he was also a little suspicious of Shahin's right foot, so he did not block Shahin at the moment when he completed the shot.
He made a save based on the direction of the rolling of the ball when he heard a muffled sound of 'boom~'.
"Shaheen—"
German TV 2 commentator Michael Retillo shouted in an excited tone.
Being Germany's No. 1 goalkeeper before the start of the World Cup in South Africa shows that Adler's quality is excellent in all aspects.
The goal-line technique, in particular, is terrifying.
Had it not been for a rib injury in the final stages of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season, Neuer would not have been Germany's starting goalkeeper at the World Cup.
In the face of Shaheen's shot on the right side of the penalty area, Adler went down to the ground very quickly, and at the same time pushed his waist and abdomen, as much as possible to cover the area of his fingers, and strive to save the football and form an effective save.
But Shaheen's shot was not only powerful, but also fast-paced towards the far corner of the goal on turf, a shot that all goalkeepers hate.
When Adler swooped down, he realised the danger of the save.
Because the ball was attached to the turf, it was urgent and fast, and his hand was not yet fully open.
That's when football arrived.
All he could do was try to use his fingertips to flick the ball off the outside of the left post of the goal.
Whether the affected football can really roll out of the outer edge of the left column depends on the will of God.
So after Adler did the best he could, he prayed to God devoutly......
Perhaps God appeared and the ball detached from its original trajectory, but the ball did not deflect directly off the left goal post, but hit the middle of the left goal post.
Didn't enter!!
"The goalpost!!" said the local football commentator in Bayer Leverkusen excitedly: "Didn't go in! Rene Adre ......"
However, before the words were finished, his sentence of 'meritorious service' had to be swallowed back.
"Whoa~"
The Bayer Leverkusen fans behind the goal jumped to their feet and were glad Adler's miraculous save saved the ball.
But halfway through the whole movement, the body froze in place.
Striker Barrios, who had already outgrown the entire backline, did not run forward, so centre-back Lenatz and right-back Kadlec did not run, so that Gotze, who was inserted behind the left rib of the penalty area, went completely unnoticed.
Adler, who fell to the ground, reacted quickly and pounced forward again, showing the physicality of a super-first-class goalkeeper.
※※※
Mario Gotze!!"
Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, stretched out his voice, and his voice was a little hoarse as he continued to be in high spirits.
"Whoa, whoa—"
Once again, there was a loud cheer and exclamation in the sky above the Bayer Arena.
The two voices are like opposing forces that are intertwined, making the frenetic atmosphere of the whole stadium even more frenetic!
Gotze has no ears on the field, and while facing the football, he is still paying attention to Adler, who has made a second reaction.
“boom~”
Gotze hit the ball with his right foot with a muffled sound.
Due to the very close range of the shot, just to the left of the small penalty line, goalkeeper Adler only subconsciously made a save.
But when he made the decision to pounce on the ground, he regretted it, he really didn't expect that Gotze, who had not yet turned eighteen, would choose to play the top corner.
By the time Adler realized this, it was already too late.
His hasty outstretched palm seemed at least a beat slower, and the ball slammed directly into the snow-white net in the near corner of the goal.
At the same time, a tsunami of shouts erupted from the Bayer Arena, sweeping down the stands and rushing towards the goalscorer Götze.
Mario Gotze's follow-up shot gives Borussia Dortmund a lead over Bayer Leverkusen!!"
Marcel Leff excitedly explained.
Dortmund coach Klopp, who probed the sideline of the pitch with his upper body, raised his arms excitedly and shouted, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, looking up to the sky and howling, venting the first goal of the new season!
"Beautiful!" said the central 5 commentator excitedly: "Gotze's goalmouth shot helped Dortmund take the lead in breaking the deadlock, and the visiting Dortmund led the home team Bayer Leverkusen 1:0!!"
The live broadcast camera was given to the goalscorer, Götze, and a close-up shot was given to the face.
I saw him stunned in place, and it wasn't until Tang Zheng dragged him to the ground from behind that he came back to his senses.
Scored!
However, the Dortmund players led by Tang Zheng and Barrios dragged him to the ground, even if he used the strength to drink milk, he did not get up smoothly.
"Borussia Dortmund scored their first goal of the 2010-2011 season! Congratulations on their lead over Bayer Leverkusen on the road!" shouted German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti.
Standing at the top of the arc of the forbidden area, Barak rubbed his face with his hands and pursed his mouth, his facial expression a little unnatural.
Vidal's hands were on his hips, looking very helpless.
And the Bayer Arena has completely reduced to a sea of joy for Dortmund fans.
Bayer Leverkusen manager Heynckes is long past the age of being shocked, so he is performing normally and is not furious with Dortmund's lead.
Instead, he waved at Kiessling.
It was clear that he was going to make tactical adjustments to the game.
The same was true of Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who grabbed the elbow of left-back Schmelzer and said with an excited expression: "Keep catching the gaps in Leverkusen's ribs......"
After listening to the tactical changes forwarded by Schmelzer, Tang Zheng immediately gave a high thumbs up in the direction where the head coach Klopp was, signaling that he knew what to do next. (To be continued.) )
