Chapter 172: Two Generations of Kings?

"Whoa, whoa—"

The Dortmund fans had just gathered up to burst into loud cheers, and only a few tenths of a second later, the Benfica fans behind the goal erupted in hysterical exclamations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It turned out that Tang Zheng's long-range shot was blocked by the desperate Benfica captain.

It's just that this blockade is not complete, and the football shot by Tang Zheng does not rotate at all, like a cannonball out of the chamber, and the football hits the upper edge of Louisson's left thigh.

The contact area between the two is small, but it has a crucial impact on the trajectory of the football.

Originally, goalkeeper Cesar judged that the football should fly to the near corner, so he moved two steps to make a save.

But Louisson's sacrifice not only did not play a role in blocking the shot, but also did the opposite!

The ball refracted and the shot that was supposed to fly to the near corner was disrupted and flew towards the middle of the goal.

Cesar was in mid-air, extremely stretched and standard, and pounced into the near corner, which was the left side of the goal behind him.

This refraction is equivalent to the life of Cesar, and it is also equivalent to the life of Benfica fans!

Cesar, who was still in the air, felt that time was slowing down, as if he were watching a picture that was slowly frozen, and his gaze was closely following the soccer ball that had shifted its original trajectory.

In vain, he used his abdominal and leg strength to try to lift his right foot to reach the ball.

But...... All in vain.

He wanted to pounce on the left, but the ball went from the right to the middle.

One to the left and one to the right.

That's probably what it means.

At the same time, Benfica fans, Luisson, and other Benfica defenders all widened their eyes and held their breath, and a wave of sadness burst out from the depths of their souls.

The same is true of Benfica coach Jesús, who stood on the sidelines with his hands clenched in his hands, and he watched the incredible refraction of football, and in this moment, he seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.

The Dortmund fans raised their voices under the original chanting, and the deafening cheers instantly swept the entire stadium, and those neutral fans also lost their position at this moment and came to Dortmund's side.

"Whew-"

The deafening cheers developed towards the mountains and tsunamis......

"The game was at the end of the first half, and the ice was finally broken!"

"It was a surprise!But Dortmund didn't take the lead! they deserved to take the lead!!"

"A lot of goals are a matter of luck! God favors Borussia Dortmund, they are ahead of Benfica!"

"It's luck again! Is this the 'Gutmann curse' at work?

Commentators from all over the world blurted out their own style of interpretation of Dortmund's goal.

One of the most excited was the German Sky commentator Marcel Leif who shouted violently: "This ...... It was a refraction! The goal went in! Don's long-range shot knocked on Benfica's goal! Borussia Dortmund broke the deadlock in the Europa League final and took the lead!"

Of course, the narrator from China is not left behind.

Huang Jianxiang, a commentator of New Wolf Sports, roared loudly with passion: "This is ...... But that's not the point! The point is that the football has scored! Tang Zheng's tenth goal in this season's Europa League! The goal efficiency is comparable to that of a striker! The giants of Europe, have you seen it? This is the best player in the Bundesliga! Great Chinese! It belongs to the history of the Chinese! Who dares to say that there is no one who can play football among the 1.3 billion Chinese?

Huang Jianxiang's commentary style is distinctive, and the Chinese fans who sit in front of the computer and watch the live broadcast are completely affected by his excitement.

They only have one feeling now, and that is to raise their eyebrows!

※※※

The stands at Dublin Stadium have been rendered into a sea of yellow and black by Dortmund fans.

“Tannnnnnnnnnnnnng――”

After the excitement, they looked at Tang Zheng with an excited face and made a sound that broke through the sky.

Tang Zheng was also particularly excited in this situation, he ran to the corner flag area on the right side of his attack with open arms, and habitually played a sliding kneeling celebration.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up, as a core player, he broke the deadlock at a critical time, which is very impressive!

His teammates were pouring in from all directions, leaving several trails on the right side of the team's attack.

A crowd celebrates the goal with excitement.

Only Shinji Kagawa looked a little embarrassed, thinking that he would be the key man when he started.

The result?

Or Tang Zheng became the protagonist.

Could it be that this is the difference between a protagonist and a supporting role?

Immediately afterwards, the live director gave a slow-motion replay of the goal, and replayed the scene that happened in the Dortmund coaching area at the moment of the goal.

Klopp, who was standing in place, watched the football enter the net, he first couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and roared to the sky, and then habitually came to a set of combination punches, and the last blow even jumped hard to complete the last punch in mid-air.

※※※

According to international practice, the on-site director's footage is given to the goal-scoring side, and it is necessary to find the opponent to make a huge comparison.

Judging from the broadcast footage, the Benfica stadium on the side that conceded the ball looked very helpless.

Aimar naturally stood in place, his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gaitan, who was dubbed last summer's best signing by the Portuguese media, had mixed eyes and mixed feelings.

Tang Zheng gave him the feeling that it was too powerful.

It's like being invulnerable.

He seems to have returned to the time when he played for Boca Juniors, and even with Banega and Riquelme, there was no way to suppress Tang Zheng.

He is not even as good as Banega, who plays for Valencia.

This...... Is that the difference?

Banega, who sat in front of the TV watching the Europa League final, felt the same way.

Tang Zheng seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

He joined Valencia with a transfer fee of 18 million euros and played in La Liga and the Champions League, but he did not play at a high price.

And what about Tang Zheng?

12 million euros transferred to Dortmund, and now the German transfer market has marked Tang Zheng with a value of 40 million euros.

If a transaction is generated, 40 million euros can only be used as a reference, and the actual transaction price is higher.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

However, Aimar is more open-minded, he is thirty-two years old this year, and he has entered the later years of his career, except for the accumulation of competition experience, other attributes are declining to varying degrees.

Besides, Tang Zheng is out of the same team, and he wishes that all the players from River Plate would play at this level.

It's just that the situation is a little embarrassing now, but he who played the same front waist as Tang Zheng in this game was a complete defeat.

World football is indeed a world for young people.

Cristiano Ronaldo in '85, Leo Messi in '87, is it Don in '89?

The two-year generation of kings, perhaps starting with the 2010-2011 Europa League final.

※※※

The game restarted and with Jesús yet to come up with the best solution, the experienced Aimar showed his worth, he was more composed than the youngsters and knew this was not the time to be on the move.

Although Dortmund's defensive system is not very rigorous from a tactical point of view, they rely on young players with plenty of fitness in central midfield as the first layer of defence, forcing opponents to have less time to think about how to pass the ball.

If they come up against a team with a delicate technique at their feet or a smooth passing and cutting team, it will be a disaster.

However, this seemingly rough defensive tactic has been very useful for Benfica.

For the rest of the first half, Benfica did not show the momentum of looking at death, and Dortmund did not mean to chase after the victory, and played very harmoniously.

The referee was also very sensible, and as soon as the 45-minute regular time arrived, he blew the final whistle for the first half.

At the same time, the live director will broadcast the footage to the core players of both sides.

Tang Zheng smiled and walked side by side with Lewandowski to the players' tunnel, the two said this from time to time, and did a lot of body movements.

Anyone with a little bit of knowledge can understand that they are in the first half of the game at the end of the exchange.

"Robert, you were too nervous in the first half, relax, in Jurgen's words, you have the potential to be the best striker in the world, and if you were so nervous even in the Europa League final, what would the Champions League final be?"

In terms of age, Lewandowski is more than a year older than Tang Zheng, but in terms of performance and dominance on the court, Tang Zheng is several times better than him, so he behaved very naturally and nodded: "I know." ”

After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he ran one more step and grabbed Shinji Kagawa's shoulder.

Shinji Kagawa was a little surprised, but Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Can you understand Chinese?"

In the first half of the 2010-2011 season, Shinji Kagawa worked hard to learn German due to the lack of language communication with his teammates, that is, the language barrier, and there was no way to play.

And Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, and the Dortmund team has also set off a wind of learning Chinese, and Shinji Kagawa is no exception, he nodded instinctively.

In fact, Shinji Kagawa's German is very good, but Tang Zheng just wants to say Chinese: "In the first half, your running position is too rigid, don't hold the right side like Yakubu, that will not only kill yourself, but also affect Marcel's assists, you should come to the middle more often, especially when I retreat to get the ball, I know that you have a certain ability to pass the ball, don't bury yourself......"

Shinji Kagawa seemed to understand whether he understood or not, his attitude was sincere, and he said in broken Chinese: "I know Brother Tang." ”

The on-site director switched the camera again, just in time to see Tang Zheng pulling Kagawa Shinji to say something, the latter's expression and posture were very low, Yang 5 commentator He Wei was very proud, and jokingly said: "Tang Zheng is like educating a little brother." ”

He Wei said this, and naturally he had a point.

Throughout the first half, Shinji Kagawa's performance was arguably the worst of the entire Dortmund team, in the words of Xu Yang during the game: Shinji Kagawa was Klopp's biggest mistake in the formation.

The Japanese commentator looked at Shinji Kagawa, who was almost bowing his head, frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Kagawa in the second half should come out with a better level, otherwise the Bundesliga champion will not be able to tolerate him......"

Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, behaved normally: "We see this scene every game, Don is like the manager in the stadium, he can read the game very well, read the shortcomings of his teammates, I think...... After retiring from football, he is definitely a top professional coach. ”

During the break, there was a big difference in the atmosphere between the two sides of the game.

Borussia Dortmund, who were drawn at home, looked very relaxed and happy in the home team's dressing room, while Benfica in the away team's dressing room was in a slump, as if they had lost the game.

However, Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp did not praise the players, but said solemnly: "Brothers, it has only been 45 minutes in the game, and there are still 45 minutes left, and we are only one goal ahead, there is nothing to be happy about." ”

Speaking of this, Klopp habitually raised his voice: "If you want to be happy, cheer, get the season bonus, and make a supermodel or star on vacation, it's not a problem!

"Do you have any confidence to win this game?" said Klopp, who shouted almost frantically.

"Confident!"

The team responded with the same frantic response.

In the away dressing room, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Head coach Jesús was a little helpless, he was not the kind of coach who was good at inciting the emotions of the players, so he could only start from the aspect of tactical adjustment: "In the second half, we adjusted our tactics, and all the previous drills were pushed down, and in the first ten minutes, we directly crossed from the side or rushed with a long pass, and Pablo was selected to master it." ”

Jesús chose this because Dortmund's central defense was too tough to penetrate.

Throughout the first half, Benfica were looking for a way to infiltrate the Dortmund penalty area.

The result?

Appalling!

A direct cross from the wing or a long pass might find an opportunity.

Oscar Cardoso's 1.93 meters is not inferior to Hummel and Subotic, and he can directly hit the goal or head back.

If there is no way to equalise in the first ten minutes, then let's talk about it......

In this situation, we can only take one step at a time.

Immediately afterward, Jesús turned his head and swept towards Gaitan: "Nicolas, don't stay on the left all the time, you should try to cut inside on the right like Robben, it's more threatening, but don't show off your skills too much." ”

Gaitan is the kind of player who has a strong tactical execution, and nodded.

In the late stages of Boca Juniors, his best position was actually as a midfielder, but Benfica had Eimar and he had to be forced to transform into a left-attacking striker.

But in order to play, he had to try to change.

With his impressive adaptability, he managed to secure a place in the workhorse, and he still shines.

Thinking of Robben, who has performed well in the Bundesliga and in Europe, Gaitan seems to have found a new path.

Even if you don't have the opportunity to play as a midfielder, you can help the team in other positions!

In the blink of an eye, the fifteen-minute break was over, and the players from both sides walked towards Dublin Stadium one after another.

With the cheers of the fans, Cardoso kicked the ball to Aimar and the second half of the 2010-2011 Europa League final was officially announced.
