Chapter 223: Three people in a row
It is unclear what the two managers said in the dressing room during the 15 minutes of the break, but the commentators on the field can spread their brains and guess what adjustments will be made in the second half of the game to win the game. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Considering that Marseille at home trailed the visiting Olympiacos just before half-time, the commentators were talking more about qualifying from the group based on the current scoreline.
If Marseille lose to Olympiacos and Arsenal beat visiting Borussia Dortmund at home, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund will qualify together, and the winner will also top the group.
Arsenal travel to Olympiacos in the final round and Borussia Dortmund host Marseille with both sides having no problem winning their respective opponents, so the outcome of this game will determine who wins the group.
Borussia Dortmund and Bayern are also from the Bundesliga, and it is impossible to draw together according to the avoidance rules of the same FA team drawn in the Champions League quarter-finals, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are already top of the group by the time the four rounds have passed.
According to UEFA's past instincts, Borussia Dortmund beat Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup this summer and caused controversy, and UEFA is unlikely to let go of the opportunity for the two teams to meet in the 1/8 finals.
If Arsenal can't beat Borussia Dortmund at home, their situation will be even more smiling, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona all potential quarter-final opponents.
Barcelona is more likely to be in the 2009-2010 Champions League quarter-finals, and the following 2010-2011 season met Barcelona in the quarter-finals, also losing on aggregate......
Overall, the second-placed Group F group winners have a good chance of meeting defending champions Barcelona.
In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes passed after the halftime, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Neither side made any changes to the line-up for the first half, apparently choosing the first-half at the beginning of the second half.
It is worth mentioning that less than a minute into the first half, Dortmund was scored by Tang Zheng with a very threatening header in the penalty area.
British Sky commentator Andy Grey exclaimed: "Beautiful! Poland goalkeeper Szczesny showed his quality in this save, he kept the goal intact!!"
missed the goal again, Tang Zheng in the broadcast camera looked up at the London night sky, his palms folded, and his disappointment was overflowing.
With Tang Zheng's impressive performance at the start of the second half, Alexander Song and Mikel Arteta tightened their restrictions on Tang Zheng.
Arsenal's defensive performance also began to pay attention to cutting off the connection between Dortmund's frontline players and Tang Zheng, preventing him from approaching the goal.
Tang Zheng's receiving space was limited, and Dortmund's attack was difficult to develop as smoothly as before, and Klopp immediately signaled Götze to shoulder more responsibility for organizing the attack.
Able to dribble and pass the ball, Götze has been adapting for a short time and he has slowly created a very dangerous attack.
It's a little shameful that Lewandowski squandered his chances as always, failing to convert them into goals.
With Gotze active, Arsenal's defensive system has to take care of defending Gotze again.
In this way, their restrictions on Tang Zheng have become less strict than before, and Tang Zheng slowly gets decent opportunities and poses a threat to Szczesny in the goal.
In the 60th minute of the game, Arsenal, who were playing at home, were the first to make adjustments.
Gervinho went down and Diaby went up to strengthen the defense in the middle.
A minute later, Borussia Dortmund made a change, with Perisic coming on for the inconsistently Kuba.
※※※
Yang 5 commentator He Wei responded to Dortmund's predicament, saying: "Tang Zheng has played too many key battles in November, and his physical consumption is too serious, I think Klopp should consider letting Tang Zheng serve as an auxiliary attacker?"
Tang Zheng, who has been in the focus of Arsenal's defensive area, has struggled to create chances, and perhaps he will find better opportunities hidden behind his teammates.
In fact, Klopp's replacement of Kuba with Perisic is based on this consideration, because Perisic has speed and skill, and has a strong sense of ability to grab points in front of goal, and his play will inevitably have a positive impact on Tang Zheng.
Sure enough!
Borussia Dortmund's attack was controlled by Pirlo to try two wings in succession, and both Gotze and Perisic were able to cross from the wing.
In the sixty-fourth minute, Don grabbed the landing point in a battle for the top!
"Bang!"
The ball slammed into the crossbar.
Marcel Leif exclaimed: "Oh-My-God!!
"Oh ~ Arsenal almost paid the price for their defensive leaks!" said Andy Gray, the British Sky commentator.
He Wei sighed, shook his head and said: "It's a pity! Dortmund's continuous crosses from the side are just for Tang Zheng to complete the battle, but this time the football accurately found Tang Zheng but couldn't score because of the refusal of the home post......"
The Chinese fans who sat in front of the TV and stayed up all night exhaled in a depressed breath, what a pity!
So far in the game, Tang Zheng has three good chances to score, once sliding through the goal, once by Szczesny bravely defused, and this time by the goalpost.
If he's lucky, Borussia Dortmund is already the winner!
Tang Zheng's aerial duel annoyed Arsene Wenger, and he replaced Diaby in order to limit Tang Zheng's play.
But judging from the effect, it didn't have the effect he wanted to see.
I don't know if it was this header that didn't score that inspired Tang Zheng's state, and the next long-range shot almost equalized, and the ball was saved by Szczesny and missed the right post.
Created two chances in a row that were enough to score, which greatly increased the Arsenal players' ability to watch Tang Zheng.
At this time, Tang Zheng's superior ball quotient gradually appeared.
After attracting enough attention from the defence, he will quickly hand over the ball, then run and distribute the ball, using reasonable runs and tandems to create opportunities for his teammates.
Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, paced back and forth, he had a headache and didn't know how to restrain Tang Zheng.
However, fortunately, the score is still ahead of his side, otherwise he would have had more headaches.
Two minutes later, Koscielny's clearance gave Dortmund a touchline ball.
Schmelzer threw the football hard, Tang Zheng stuck the position, and used his chest to pad the football to the responding Gotze.
"Shhh
The home fans were very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng's action!
Gotze didn't stop the ball and passed the ball back to Tang Zheng, Diaby wanted to break the ball, but Tang Zheng stuck in position, and then used the cover of his body to knock back with his heel, and the activated Schmelzer cut into the left rib of the attack, and rushed to complete the cross before Vermaelen came out.
This time, because Tang Zheng was not in the penalty area, Mertesacker was involved in the front point by Lewandowski and did not reach the football.
Szczesny could only stay in front of goal because of his position, and the ball crossed in front of goal.
But Dortmund's attack did not end, the ball crossed the penalty area and did not fly off the bottom line or the sideline, and the football was picked up by Perisic on the other side.
Perisic didn't send in a direct cross, he was waiting for Tang Zheng to enter the box.
At this time, full-back Sagna was pulled out of the box.
Perisic passed the ball to Piszczek, who followed up, who sent in a 45-degree cross from the right.
Tang Zheng's success rate in the duel is very high, and the central defender Vermaelen, who is only 1.8 meters tall, can't prevent him at all.
But Vermaelen was very smart, and there was a small action of pulling Tang Zheng's jersey while competing for the top, which made Tang Zheng's battle for the top not have any strength.
The soccer ball slid out of the door.
※※※
Borussia Dortmund's attack continued to put pressure on the Arsenal backline, and even the Arsenal fans in the stands could feel it deeply.
"Borussia Dortmund's attack is going to be higher and higher, and Arsene Wenger should have made changes to his line-up, with the likes of Ramsey and Alexander Song under so much defensive pressure that the two wings simply didn't care about making up for it. British Sky commentator Andy Gray said worriedly.
Captain Robin van Persie hadn't received a pass from a team-mate for a long time at the top of the centre-circle, so he was in a hurry.
Had it not been for Arsene Wenger's instructions to tactically suppress Borussia Dortmund's centre-backs, he would have returned to the heart of the defence to assist his team-mates.
Arsene Wenger has the most genuine feeling of the situation his team is in, and he knows that the team is definitely going to attack, but the problem is that the momentum is in Dortmund's favour, and if they insist on attacking, the result at the Allianz Stadium last weekend will be the future result for Arsenal.
So...... We can only wait!
It's a pity they didn't make it to that moment.
In the 69th minute, Dortmund seized on the hole in Arsenal's central defense and penetrated Arsenal's defense through a combination of wings and centers.
Tang Zheng received a diagonal pass from Pirlo in the attacking 40-meter area and suddenly turned around and accelerated forward, Alexander Song did not dare to make much movement because of a yellow card on his back, Tang Zheng seized his mind and pushed forward five meters.
Before Diaby came to defend, Tang Zheng played a one-two with the retreating Gotze, and Diaby wanted to foul but was predicted by Tang Zheng to jump in advance.
Facing Arteta, who crossed the cross, Tang Zheng's upper body swayed to the right, his right shoulder sank, and the outside of his right foot kicked the ball at the same time.
Arteta's eyes lit up, and he felt that his vast experience in the game had penetrated Tang Zheng's caution, and his body center of gravity shifted to the left in advance.
However, Tang Zheng's right outside instep did not hit the football, but shook a shot and swiped it across the left side of the football.
"Pedal bikes!" exclaimed Marcel Leif in surprise.
Arteta has a strong sense of position, he wanted to foul, but Tang Zheng's speed was too fast, and he only touched Tang Zheng's heel.
The referee's whistle was in his mouth, but it didn't blow for a long time.
Because...... Tang Zheng did not fall down after staggering, and then with the center of gravity of his body extremely unstable, he used the instep of his right foot to pass a half-high ball to his side to attack the left rib.
Schmelzer plugs in at high speed!
"Whoa, whoa—"
The Emirates Stadium erupted in loud exclamations.
Because Tang Zheng continued to form breakthroughs in the middle, the two fullbacks naturally adducted the penalty area, which was equivalent to giving up the side.
Coupled with Tang Zheng's staggering, the Arsenal players felt a little relaxed, so that they reacted half a beat slower.
Schmelzer did not desert, he actively followed up the side that Götze tore apart, and then looked at the landing point of the football about ten meters from the baseline, and swept the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping.
Vermaelen was at the back post, Mertesacker was very strong in frontal defense, but his turning and speed were his weaknesses, and Lewandowski consciously opened up the distance with Mertesacker when he saw Tang Zheng pass to the left.
"Danger!!"
British Sky Commentator Andy Grey's eyes widened and he exclaimed.
Lewandowski picked up his left foot on the run and Mertesacker fell to the ground from two metres out.
Goalkeeper Szczesny shouted like a tiger coming down the hill and pounced on the football.
The ball was hit by Lewandowski, who was clever enough to kick a half-high ball that Mertesacker, who had fallen to the ground and tackled, missed the ball.
Szczesny, who was also a tiger pounced, did not touch the football, which flew through the gap between the two and towards the far corner of the goal.
After finishing the shot, Lewandowski jumped up alertly and jumped over his feet that had slipped in front of him.
“Goooooooooooooooal――”
Robert Lewandowski's goal equalised!"
"Wonderful attack!
"Dortmund's attacking organization is really wonderful! Don suddenly picked up speed in the 40-meter area, and then passed three people and passed to the left side of his side, and Marcel Schmelzer who followed up swept the ball directly in his run, Lewandowski proved himself!"
The commentators on the field gave a different version of Dortmund's goal.
In the face of this conceded goal, Szczesny, who had contributed to the gods one after another, seemed helpless, and the distance was so close that there was no extra time to make a judgment.
Lewandowski, who scored the goal, stumbled on his feet after hitting the ground, but he used his hands and feet to steady his center of gravity while waving to his teammates and signaling everyone to celebrate the goal.
At the same time, Klopp, who was standing in the coaching area of the visiting team, celebrated his team's goal with a habitual exaggerated celebration.
Arsene Wenger, next door, shook his arm angrily, expressing his displeasure with the team's goal conceded.
The defense in the middle just now was obviously distracted, otherwise how could Tang Zheng easily connect the three of them?
The frenetic atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was minimized, and Dortmund fans from afar seized the opportunity to show their presence.
They echoed the Dortmund players on the pitch who were celebrating their goals with excitement, raising their arms and chanting.
If this match ends in a draw, then Dortmund will enter the Champions League for the first time in nine years and will be able to top the group!
The Dortmund fans, who were unable to make it to the away stadium, sat in front of the TV and danced excitedly like children.
Marcel Leif recovered from his excitement and patiently explained Dortmund's successful attack: "The Arsenal defence was too inward-bound by continuous pressure, and Don's sudden acceleration was the finishing touch to the whole attack, and his split was timely and accurate, so ...... He takes at least 70% of the credit for the entire offense!"
