Chapter 0078 - Sudden Acceleration

Klopp, who was on the sidelines, saw Tang Zheng playing the role of captain when the first captain Dede and the second captain Kyle were not on the field, and he wondered if Tang Zheng could be promoted to fourth captain after the end of the season?

If nothing else, the 32-year-old first captain Dede has struggled to play due to a serious decline in competitive form, and the second captain Kyle is often injured, so it is goalkeeper Weidenfeller who wears the captain's armband in many games at Dortmund this season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is undeniable that Weidenfeller is fully qualified as the captain, but it is difficult for him to take care of the front court in the backfield, especially when the team is treated unfairly, it is difficult for Weidenfeller, as the captain, to put pressure on the referee on behalf of his teammates, so it is urgent to have a captain with sufficient aura in the frontcourt.

In this regard, Tang Zheng is very qualified.

Weidenfeller was the captain of the team, but because of his personality, it was difficult for him to bring confidence to his teammates when the team was behind, especially when he was two goals down, and his mood was even lower than that of his teammates on the field.

"What are we doing? We're unbeaten in Westphalia this season!"

When Tang Zheng was sad and confused when his teammates bowed their heads, he first patted goalkeeper Weidenfeller twice on the shoulder to show comfort, and then took out the football from the goal and held it in his arms, slapped his palms vigorously at his depressed teammates, and loudly encouraged.

Facing his teammates who were still confused, Tang Zheng raised his voice: "There is still an hour left in the game, what are you sad about? Equalizing is it! Haven't you fallen behind in the past? Do you remember how embarrassed Bayern was when they faced us? Wake up! Brothers!!"

Yes, it's not like I haven't fallen behind!

Have you ever been so embarrassed against Bayern?

What's more, what about Werder Bremen?

The game restarted, and the two-goal leader Werder Bremen found that Dortmund, who were playing at home, still had a strong desire to fight.

And the attitude towards the game is much more nuanced than in the past.

They have stopped threatening the ball with frequent through balls and have become more composed, making smart choices to exploit the width of the pitch.

Although Tang Zheng was still closely guarded by Werder Bremen's defensive system, he had already been mentally prepared to take the visiting players on the pitch for the rest of the first half.

Now that you're going to be zonal marking, get ready to expend more energy!

In terms of physical fitness, Tang Zheng admits that he has never been afraid of anyone!

If there's room to pass the ball, it's okay to laugh at it.

Schaff looked at Dortmund, who patiently organized the attack, and felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if the team was about to concede a goal.

He turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, who was noticed by Marin, he was still as low-key as ever to attack and protect the football, and the offensive organization was completely handed over to Hajnaur and Shahin.

But how could you suddenly have such a bad feeling?

Damn it!

※※※

Jurgen Klopp was still pacing back and forth in the home coach's technical command area, thinking about how his team could make adjustments at half-time.

In the past, Tang Zheng's form was good enough to help the team create absolute chances, but now he is closely marked by the opponent and almost useless on the offensive end.

Forty minutes into the first half, Schaaf's brow furrowed deeply.

If he could, he would even like to end the first half right away.

Of course, this is not something that can happen, and the half-time of a football match must be played for forty-five minutes.

So Schaff could only look up at the pitch helplessly, and the possession side was still Dortmund, which meant that his side was on the defensive.

Shaheen received a cross pass from Hajnaul near the middle of the attack 30 meters, and Tang Zheng approached Shahin, who was holding the ball, which not only had the effect of responding, but also protected the football and prevented the opponent from counterattacking quickly.

Attacking to protect the football, defending to protect the space.

Tang Zheng, who has become the core of the team's midfield, has not forgotten the true meaning of being a defensive midfielder.

Shahin, who got the ball, found that there was no good passing angle in front of him, so he passed the ball to Tang Zheng, and the passing angle was biased behind him, so that it was very difficult for the opponent to break the ball.

Tang Zheng, as in the past, first stuck his position, and then seemed to catch the ball casually.

Centre-back Subotic deliberately opened the angle and prepared to receive the ball, and striker Pizarro consciously pressed forward to cut the passing route.

Marin was used to Tang Zheng's way of playing during this time, so he didn't interfere with Tang Zheng like he did at the beginning of the game, just put on a show.

The targeted attention to Tang Zheng in the past half an hour has consumed too much physical energy, and if it continues, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it in the second half.

With the start of the World Cup in South Africa approaching, he will have to focus more on attacking in order to be part of the German national team at the World Cup.

Everyone thought that Tang Zheng's turn to receive the ball and pass it to his teammates as usual, even German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shook his head and said: "Tang has been closely guarded by Werder Bremen in the past 40 minutes, and there is no space to take the ball at all, and he can only attack and defend well, and he can only return to his old job......

Before the words were finished, Tang Zheng suddenly pulled the ball back with his right heel when he was halfway facing the direction of the attack, that is, facing the direction of Werder Bremen's goal again.

Marin realized that Tang Zheng was about to suddenly exert force, and Ozil and Frings, who were eyeing Shaheen and Haynauer on the side, instantly became nervous.

But Tang Zheng's next connection was very fast, almost the moment his body turned around, he picked up his right foot and made a long pass to the left side of his side.

Tang Zheng, who was close to the right side of the attack, sent the ball to the left side of the attack with a big foot, which was equivalent to a large-scale transfer, and judging from the broadcast camera, he was completely attacking the left side with his back to his own side just now.

To whom?

As the camera cuts to the live director, the narrator Marcel Leif exclaims: "- Marcel Schmelzer!!"

At the same time, Schauff felt a thump in his heart, as if he had heard something shatter.

He saw Schmelzer accelerating on the left flank as if no one was in front of him, and the assistant referee at the far end did not raise the flag!

No offside!

Fritz was hard at it, but how could he catch up with a man who was two or three places behind?

※※※

Tang Zheng's long diagonal pass from the right side to Schmelzer who was inserted at high speed on the left side was very targeted, he first took into account Schmelzer's acceleration ability, and then there was a tacit understanding between each other, and they had a similar direct connection in team training in the past.

Mertesacker realised that he could not count on Fritz to catch up, so he had to defend himself on the flank, handing over Barrios to his partner Pledel to defend.

Jurgen Klopp, who had already reached the pitch with his upper body, looked particularly nervous, and his eyes followed Schmelzer in response.

The Dortmund fans at the Westfal Stadium subconsciously held their breath and tried not to affect Schmelzer as much as possible.

"What the hell is he going to do?"

German TV 2 commentator Michael Retti said excitedly.

Facing the central defender Mertesacker, Schmelzer did not choose to stop the ball or go directly to the inside line, but unexpectedly used the arch of his left foot to pass the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area.

"Cross!"

With the shouting of Duan Huo, the commentator of Yang 5, everyone's attention shifted to the middle of the penalty area.

Mertesacker, who was half a beat slower in time to fill in the position, made a sharp stop at his feet, his eyes following the movement of the football and turning his head to look at the penalty area.

This look was a big shock, and Barrios completely stuck Pledel behind him.

And Schmelzer's non-stop cross from the left is towards the middle of the penalty area, which is the point in front of Barrios's outflanking!!

"It's over!!"

Barrios was holding his right arm as he accelerated forward, and he suddenly stretched out his right leg while carrying Pledel in front of the penalty spot, throwing his whole body out!

The ball was disturbed by Barrios and changed direction and headed between the legs of goalkeeper Wiese.

The soccer ball was running very fast and close, and Wiese's legs were tense but still half a beat slower, and the soccer ball scrambled across the small door and ran towards the gate, until the snow-white net tied it down!

"Whew-"

Westphalun Stadium suddenly erupted in loud cheers as the football entered the net, and the whole stadium felt like a small earthquake at this moment.

The sound of more than 70,000 Dortmund fans in the stadium poured down like a sea of mountains, causing Barrios, who scored the goal, to be extremely excited, he climbed up excitedly, and then rushed to Schmelzer, who gave a wonderful assist.

Of course, they didn't forget Tang Zheng, who gave a subtle transfer.

Borussia Dortmund's players hugged and celebrated at the corner flag on the left side of the attack, and Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his arms and shouted excitedly!

He was also going to make adjustments at halftime, but he didn't expect Tang Zheng's sudden acceleration to recover a goal.

Seemingly...... Equalising and even overtaking is not as difficult as imagined.

Ozil looked at Tang Zheng, who ran to his teammates to celebrate the goal, he frowned, and his heart was a little confused, as if he saw the history of the 3:3 in the first half of the season repeating itself.

In this game, Ozil had an assist and an offensive plan, while Tang Zheng completed an offensive plan before the end of the first half, which means that there is still a direct assist between the two.

With about three minutes left before the end of the first half, Borussia Dortmund pulled a goal back and Schaff was somewhat worried.

Borussia Dortmund, who are at the Westphalad Stadium, will be in high spirits now!

There's some trouble next!

Really!

Dortmund, who had narrowed the score, were demoralized under the shouts of the home fans, and were more inclined at both ends of the pitch.

As Dortmund's momentum came up, Werder Bremen's restraining effect on Tang Zheng became smaller and smaller.

Tang Zheng not only increased the range of activities, but also frequently stepped forward into the penalty area to participate in direct attacks.

If Tang Zheng can be effectively defended outside the penalty area, it will be difficult to restrict it after coming to the penalty area.

Because many times the more people in the penalty area, the better, and Barrios, who scored the goal to narrow the score, almost scored twice in troubled waters......

The home team's offensive intensified, and the cheers of the fans in the stands grew louder.

With a minute left at half-time, Werder Bremen coach Schaaf became even more nervous.
