Chapter 369: God's Craft
The Camp Nou has a capacity of 99,000 fans in the Champions League, and the remaining 95,000 tickets belong to Barcelona fans, excluding the 4,000 tickets from the away team Dortmund fans, so the noise generated by Messi's direct free-kick opportunity has been significantly reduced.

It's not that the passion of the Barcelona fans has declined, but that they are gathering strength and waiting for the moment when Messi scores a goal to explode again.
But people are not as good as heaven, and Messi's inevitable direct free kick will be held up by the little-known Chinese goalkeeper Yan Junling with one palm.
The die-hard Barcelona fans behind the goal even burst out and raised their arms and chanted.
As a result, Yan Jun was clever and side-pounced to lift the ball out of the bottom line, so these Barcelona fans were like being suddenly choked by someone, wanting to make a sound but unable to make a sound, which was very uncomfortable.
Immediately, Xavi took a short corner and the ball was passed back and forth in the three areas outside the Dortmund penalty area, but because the Dortmund defenders were well positioned, the Barcelona players who controlled the football did not find a suitable opportunity to play the ball.
Eventually, Alba on the left flank made a reluctant cross for the sake of a cross that was easily pushed out of the box by Hummels.
Tang Zheng stuck in position, and then used his chest very dashing to cushion the ball to Gundogan in front of him on the right side.
"Woo-woo-"
Suddenly, the Barcelona fans at Camp Nou created a deafening huge boo and sent it to Tang Zheng, who was getting an axe in front of them.
Tang Zheng didn't care about the sound from the stands at all, he continued to run forward.
Just two steps away, he received a forward pass from Gundogan.
Iniesta, who stayed behind, did not hesitate to fall to the ground and put the shovel, trying to stop the football in advance, but Tang Zheng was prepared, his right long leg stretched forward, and the ball was lightly bucketed, and the direction of the football suddenly changed, rolling towards Iniesta's legs.
"Whoa, whoa—"
The huge boos created at the Camp Nou were replaced by exclamations.
However, fortunately, Busquets, who was making up for the defense, made an early run, and he stabbed Tang Zheng out of the sideline and kicked the football that he had not had time to deal with, and defused the quick counterattack that Dortmund might organize.
Although the attack did not work out in the end, Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator in the commentary seat, still shouted at Tang Zheng's performance: " Barcelona players are known for their technical prowess, but Don, who had a goal and three assists in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, clearly had the desire to perform in the second leg, first with a freehand chest to Ilkay Gundogan, and then a crotch past Andres Iniesta, consistent performances, skill, and an iron will, all of which are essential qualities to become a superstar......
Yang 5 commentator He Wei shouted: "From Tang Zheng's crotch passing, it can be easily seen that this game is in extraordinary shape, I think it will be very difficult for Barcelona to achieve a big reversal at home, a Tang Zheng who is in excellent condition is enough for Dortmund to have one more person to fight, just imagine how eleven people can defeat twelve people?"
The Catalan TV commentator pouted and said sourly: "This kind of footwork is like a show at the Camp Nou? Is Sergio Busquets an ornament? Funny Chinese!"
However, as soon as the words fell, the mockery stopped abruptly.
Schmelzer threw a sideline ball towards Tang Zheng, and Busquets, who was not much different in stature, stepped up without hesitation.
It is mainly interference, supplemented by ball breaking.
What he never expected was that Tang Zheng had a secret gesture before Schmelzer threw the ball, and he motioned for Schmelzer's toss to his feet.
Pedro, who was coming along the left touchline, saw the low ball and stretched out his right foot to step on the ball with the sole of his foot.
At the same time, Tang Zheng used his toes to pick the ball up at the moment when he turned his back to Busquets, and then turned 90 degrees to the right with his back to Busquets.
Because Busquets couldn't see football, he was a little confused about Tang Zheng's turn, but he subconsciously followed Tang Zheng's turn.
Pedro reacted very quickly, but he didn't expect Tang Zheng's pick to be unexpectedly unadjusted, so he didn't touch anything.
When Busquets' body was halfway turned, he finally saw the football in mid-air, he gritted his teeth and kicked the ground, then pulled Tang Zheng's jersey with his left hand, and at the same time stretched out with his right foot, trying to clear before Tang Zheng controlled the ball.
However, Tang Zheng did not give Busquets a chance.
I saw that Tang Zheng in the broadcast camera finished turning around and lifted his right foot upwards again, picking up the football that had fallen to knee height again.
Tang Zheng's pick again was completely unexpected by Busquets, and before his center of gravity could turn back with his right foot, he saw the football heading towards Tang Zheng's original area.
Pedro, who was still in remorse, saw the football flying again, and thought that there was an opportunity, so he jumped up and prepared to push the ball away.
Tang Zheng, who was strategizing, did not give Pedro a chance, and the 1.94-meter-tall man preemptively used his forehead to push the ball to the left sideline.
※※※
"Schmelzer throws a sideline ball close to the halfline, well, beautiful, pick!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei's eyes were hot, as if he saw a stunning beauty without clothes, and he shouted violently: "Tang Zheng picked the ball past Busquets! Pick it again? Pedro jumped up! Tang Zheng pushed the ball forward with his forehead! Beautiful! Breakthrough!!"
As soon as the words fell, Adriano, who played at right-back in a cameo role, rushed out and stretched out his foot to break the ball.
I saw Tang Zheng's long right leg stretched forward, and the toe picked up the football that had fallen to the height of his waist to the upper right.
Adriano, who had been rushing towards the football, looked very panicked, because he had to stop on the spot first, and then turn his body to the left rear of his body.
And Tang Zheng, as the attacker, has absolute initiative, and by the time Adriano completed the turn, Tang Zheng had already stuck the position in advance.
At this moment, the frenzy at the Camp Nou has dropped significantly, like a loudspeaker turned on to the highest pitch being slammed to the lowest pitch.
Tang Zheng started from picking the ball past Pedro and Busquets, and then to picking the ball past Adriano, the football did not land in the middle, which means that football has always been under Tang Zheng's perfect control.
This is a scene that only the former king of Camp Nou, Ronaldinho, has done.
The football elf who was able to enjoy the applause at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Tang Zheng passed Adriano, raised his right foot slightly to stop the ball, and the frenzied atmosphere at the Camp Nou was at its lowest.
At the same time, Tang Zheng's afterglow saw a Barcelona player wearing a blue and red striped shirt approaching on the right side, and subconsciously used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball to the right, and the football passed between the legs of Iniesta, who had come from the defense.
Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, exclaimed, "Oh-My-God!!"
The Dortmund Expeditionary Force at Camp Nou raised their arms to give Tang Zheng's wonderful catharsis!
Immediately, Tang Zheng did not choose another passer, because his passing vision had already seen a teammate on the right side plugged in at high speed.
Yakub Blaszchikovsky.
Abbreviation, Kuba!
The famous speed maniac in European football!
Almost everyone's attention was focused on Tang Zheng's elf-like performance, with Barcelona's defense on the left naturally closing in the middle, so that Kuba had plenty of space to sprint on the right.
The live broadcast camera shifted with the football to the right side of Dortmund's attack, which is the left side of Barcelona's defense.
"Whoa, whoa—"
Suddenly, the originally almost silent Camp Nou stadium suddenly resounded with a deafening exclamation and quickly swept the audience.
Tang Zheng's diagonal long pass is very accurate, and it is exactly the same as the acceleration direction of Kuba, with a certain amount of advance, which is equivalent to tailor-made.
Kuba doesn't need any adjustment in high-speed running, he just needs to keep running!
"Oops!"
It was only then that the Catalan TV commentator realized that there was a fatal crisis in the Barcelona defence.
Kuba chased the ball at full speed and then accelerated forward, and Lewandowski and Reus in the middle of the pitch were like two sharp knives stuck in the throat of the Barcelona defence.
Adriano, who played as a guest at right-back, was attracted by Tang Zheng's breakthrough and was still on the right side, which is equivalent to saying that Barcelona's central defense only relies on two central defenders.
No one thought that in the blink of an eye, the backfield of time would become three defenses and three.
After the ball hit the ground, it did not continue to accelerate as expected, but there was a significant deceleration.
Kuba stretched out his foot about 25 meters from the baseline to stop the ball forward, forcing Alba, who was returning at high speed, to continue to retract.
Lewandowski moved closer to the middle and scored a hat-trick with an overhead kick in the first leg, with both Bartra and Pique subconsciously believing that Lewandowski would be the first choice for Kuba's passes.
But just as Kuba looked up, Lewandowski and Reus had a clear cross-run, Lewandowski running from the middle to the far end and Reus running from the far end to the middle.
Still, Bartra and Pique's defensive go-to is Lewandowski.
Kuba, who accelerated to the right-hand touchline of the penalty area, made a slight adjustment and then picked up a right-footed cross.
Alba, who was returning to defend at high speed, didn't think too much about it, and threw his whole body directly, taking the lead with his right foot, hoping to block Kuba's cross from the right.
If Kuba's cross is to Lewandowski, Alba's downed tackle is very likely to complete the block, but the problem is that Kuba's pass is to Reuss after completing the crossover run!
Inverted Triangle!!
The exclamations at the Camp Nou swept through the stadium, and every Barcelona fan panicked to the extreme.
If Borussia Dortmund break the deadlock first, their hopes of qualifying for this season's Champions League final will be completely nil.
According to the precise calculations of a soccer authority, an inverted triangle pass has a better chance of scoring than a cross that goes straight to the penalty area.
Because the defender's knee-jerk choice is to return to the goal to protect, many times the defense will ignore the penalty spot and the top of the penalty area.
In the face of Tang Zheng's sudden long-pass attack, this kind of problem appeared in the Barcelona defense, which had defensive holes.
Standing in the home team's coaching area, Pep Guardio's face was like ashes, as if he saw the dilemma his team faced after conceding a goal!
Absolutely falling off the cliff!
Once Borussia Dortmund score away at the Camp Nou, Barcelona will have to score six goals in a row in the remaining game time if they want to progress to the final, and Dortmund will not be allowed to score.
Countless Barcelona fans who came to watch the game chose to close their eyes and pray to God, hoping that God would help his followers......
Baltra and Pique were attracted to Lewandowski, and to defend Reuss was to make a quick stop, change direction, and turn again.
Obviously, time is not allowed.
Kuba's pass was comfortable, close to the ground, just in line with Reuss's running direction.
Dortmund's attacking players have performed this attacking tactic countless times at the Stobelari training centre.
The four-goal win in the first leg left Reus without any mental baggage, and he knew that it was good for him to score, and it was reasonable that he couldn't.
It was in this rather relaxed state of mind that Royce traveled lightly, and as he ran, he picked up his right foot and hit the ground.
Pique, who had completed the emergency stop and turn, subconsciously jumped forward, put his hands behind his back, and expanded the defensive area, trying to block Royce's shot about 16 meters from the inside of the penalty area with his flesh and blood.
But when he made defensive moves, his eyes became panicked, because Reuss had more power on goal than he had thought.
A soccer ball running against the ground would have had an acceleration on the sprinkled turf, and Reuss's non-stop ball was very accurate in the instep volley, and the power was even greater.
Pique's knee-jerk defensive action is not unfast, but people are not as good as the sky, and there is an accelerated soccer ball on the grass that hits Pique's stretched right calf, so that the football that originally rolled to the near corner is refracted and rolled to the other side of the goal......
The goalkeeper's most feared shot is definitely not to stick to the ground, but to refraction that occurs after making a save.
Because Royce's shooting location is very close to the goal and has a lot of power, Valdés judged that the angle of the football's shot was to make a subconscious change of center of gravity in an instant, and when the football came to the goal, he could block the ball with his hands.
It is obviously too late to wait until the football reaches the goal to make a save, so the training of professional goalkeepers revolves around the ball leaving the shooter's foot to make a save.
Especially when the shooting distance is close, the subconscious saving action is more decisive!
The ball refracted Pique's right calf and rolled towards the other side of the goal.
Although there was also a noticeable slowdown, there was nothing Valdés could do about it, who had already made a change in center of gravity......
Most of the Barcelona fans behind the goal closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch the ball roll over the goal line and then plunge into the arms of the snow-white net.
That scene is going to be very cruel.
The score was 0-1 in less than 10 minutes, and Barcelona had to make it 6-1 to get their chance of progressing to the final.
Against a solid Dortmund side, is there a chance?
Obviously, there is zero chance.
