Chapter 348: Recklessness

In the fifteenth minute of the game, the frenetic atmosphere at the Westphalen Stadium was completely ignited, and nearly 80,000 Dortmund fans shouted hysterically, creating a deafening huge sound. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A lot of times, there is a correlation between the performance of the players on the pitch and the performance of the fans in the stands.

Once the players on the field perform well, the fans in the stands will certainly not skimp on their passion.

The Dortmund players and fans at the Westfalfa Stadium are a great example of what it means to complement each other......

The game restarted and the Málaga players, who had the advantage on the tee, were eager to equalise quickly, but they forgot that this was the place.

This is Westfalfa Stadium!

Known as the home of the first devil in Europe!!

Want to show off here?

That's a little bit close!

In the face of the huge boos that erupted at the Westphalen Stadium, the Málaga players with the ball always felt that an invisible wave was affecting them, and even Isco, the Spanish golden boy who had returned to his normal mentality, could not avoid it, and his continuous dribbling errors were wrong.

Fortunately, Dortmund's quick counterattack did not work, otherwise there would have been another gust of wind in front of the goal, and there would have been danger.

The home side continued to control the tempo of the game under the shouts of the fans in the stands, so much so that Málaga, who were behind the scoreline, had to retreat to half-time and wait for a counter-attack.

Tang Zheng is still the Dortmund player that the Málaga defenders focus on, but in view of the previous hooligan tactics encroaching on the Málaga defense, Pellegrini's tactics gave up the man-to-man defense against Tang Zheng and turned into an overall regional defense.

In this way, as long as they stand in a defensive position, the effect of Dortmund's hooligan tactics can be minimized.

As the game entered the 20th minute, the situation became relatively calm.

Borussia Dortmund lead the scoreline and have low attacking motivation, they are more about keeping the football at their feet and then draining the physical energy of the Malaga defenders.

It's a very mature style of play, and it's often the style of play that teams with a real big club background are good at.

Andrea Pirlo has a lot of experience, a wide field of vision, a good reading of the game, and the precise transfer of the ball just needs to be at his feet.

The Málaga players had to move from one side to the other to increase their defensive strength and keep the score intensifying.

There is still hope of equalizing after falling behind 0:1 away, and if 0:1 becomes 0:2, the hope of equalizing will be greatly reduced.

Manuel Pellegrini paced back and forth in the visiting coach's command area, occasionally adjusting tactics and the positioning of the players on the pitch through gestures.

Isco was quite aggrieved during this period, and the team's overall passivity led to the team's inability to pass the football to his feet smoothly during the transition from defense to attack.

Even if the football can be transmitted, Dortmund's overall high pressing effect is very effective, even if Isco has a super ability to hold the ball at his feet, he cannot rely on his individual ability to get rid of the defense.

After all, the whole is always stronger than the individual.

Borussia Dortmund, who sit at the Westfalfa Stadium, continued to dominate the game as the game wore on, and shots in front of goal began to increase.

At this time, to the relief of the Malaga fans, goalkeeper Caballero showed a performance against the sky, and he made a high save to keep the goal from conceding.

Caballero's sudden outburst caused a lack of confidence among Dortmund's attacking players, with Lewandowski, Reus and Kuba always deliberately looking for angles when shooting.

But the game was quite intense, and the deliberate pursuit of angle was counterproductive.

Pirlo and Tang Zheng are experienced and patient, and they deliberately slowed down their attacking tempo in pursuit of efficiency when they realized Caballero's bravery.

Never pass a threat to the ball unless you have the best chance.

Borussia Dortmund pursued possession, and the Málaga players had to run back and forth with long passes from Tang Zheng, Andrea Pirlo and Gundogan.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Baptista, who was at the front, saw Gundogan pass to Pirlo, and he thought about venting and using his strong body to give Pirlo some color.

Andrea Pirlo has a lot of experience in the game, and he certainly has something to offer in a midfield position because he is not physically strong enough.

When it comes to ball protection, Pirlo has a unique insight.

Baptista, who was about to hit his shoulder on the shoulder, did not expect Pirlo's reaction to be so fast, and he took a forward step with his right foot, leaving Baptista with a back.

Instead of braking hard to avoid a rear-end collision, Baptista slammed forward, extending his left foot to try to reach the ball from behind.

The football was stabbed by him, but the referee Thomson's whistle also sounded.

The foul Baptista spread his hands and looked innocent.

"Woo-woo-"

At the same time, a deafening loud boo rang out at Westphagan Lun Stadium to Baptista, who had fouled and showed an innocent expression.

Thomson saw it with certainty, and he was adamant: "Don't try to challenge my authority, I see it very clearly, and if you make any more pointless explanations, I don't mind giving you a yellow card." ”

Suddenly, Baptista was stunned, did not speak, and returned to his own half to assist the defense.

As the captain, Tang Zheng naturally had to protect the interests of the team, and he ran to the referee Thomson to complain, thinking that Baptista's foul action was very big and he must receive a yellow card.

However, the referee, Thomson, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's a bit big, but it's not enough for a yellow card." ”

Tang Zheng saw that the referee was very firm, and Baptista was also where the incident occurred, and did not say anything more, but turned around and stretched out his hand towards Pirlo, ready to pull him up.

But Pirlo shook his head as he pointed to the inside of his right knee and frowned.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng had a bad premonition.

Sure enough!

According to the team doctor, Pirlo most likely injured the medial knee ligament in his right knee in the collision just now.

With this type of soft tissue trauma, it is generally difficult to stick to it.

Pirlo struggled to even get off the pitch and was forced to go on a stretcher.

※※※

The live director gave a slow-motion replay, from which it was clear that Baptista had not closed his left knee and pushed up to the inside of Pirlo's right knee.

Andrea Pirlo was injured suddenly, and Klopp didn't make a record at all, and he didn't think about how to adjust until he was sure that Pirlo would not be able to continue the game.

He turned his head to look at the bench, where Shaheen, Sven Bender and Gotze could all come off the bench.

Shaheen can match Andrea Pirlo in terms of functionality, but the comparison here is his peak at Dortmund.

Since his move to Real Madrid, Shahin has played very little, and even in the first half of the season on loan at Liverpool, he has not been given many appearances, and it is also difficult to get opportunities in the stable Dortmund team.

In such a crucial game, it is obviously not very smart to bring on Shahin.

Sven Bender?

As a defensive midfielder, he can free up Gundogan and will certainly be able to put more pressure on Malaga to try to kill the game.

But then again, the pre-match release of Gundogan and Pirlo's double midfielders is to create three-dimensional attack.

If Sven Bender is brought in, it will have a big impact on the tactics, which is equivalent to saying that there will be one less playmaking point in the midfield.

So, Klopp's eyes looked at Gotze: "Mario!!"

As soon as the words fell, the three players who could come off the bench had different expressions.

Shaheen and Sven Bender's expressions were clearly disappointed, and in contrast to Gotze, who leapt to his feet with excitement.

Half a minute later, Gotze, who had not yet had time to warm up, replaced the injured Andrea Pirlo.

In this regard, Yang 5 commentator He Wei talked about his doubts: "If the alignment is adjusted, Sven Bender and Shaheen can be competent, but it is Gotze who plays, is it difficult to play double forward midfield?"

As Götze walked onto the pitch, he ran to Tang Zheng to convey the tactical adjustments Klopp had made.

Seeing Tang Zheng retreat to a position almost parallel to Gundogan, Yang 5 commentator He Wei gave an original expression: "Oh, Tang Zheng retreated to the back position to partner Gundogan, in this way, Dortmund's attack can still bring a huge threat to Malaga, and Tang Zheng's ability to insert back into the back of the back is super strong......"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif also said: "Jurgen's substitution is very thoughtful, I think the Malaga defense is going to be in trouble!"

In theory, Gotze's presence could enrich Dortmund's attack.

However, the problem that must be taken into account is that Gotze has just been substituted, the warm-up has not been completed, and he has not yet settled into the rhythm of the second leg of this Champions League quarter-final, which always feels like half a beat slow.

In just three minutes, Gotze conceded twice.

The core of the offensive organization in the front court frequently loses balls, which has a great impact on Dortmund's overall attack and defense, which is equivalent to saying that the offense cannot be connected in series, and Tang Zheng's responsibility has become greater.

However, he did not dare to leave the position too far after retreating to the back, after all, Gundogan is also strong and weak, and it is difficult to play the role of Sven Bender.

Gotze was actively involved in the overall rhythm of the game, but Málaga's attack was a continuous threat to Weidenfeller's goal, organized by Isco.

Isco played smartly as his team gradually got attacking opportunities, and he chose to bypass Tang Zheng's defensive zone in the attacking organization.

Tang Zheng naturally realized that Isco was deliberately bypassing him, but he didn't have a good way to do it now.

Although Málaga's overall strength is not as good as Dortmund's, its average age is much higher than Dortmund's, which means that they have more experience in the game and know how to be more conducive to their own attack.

In the 39th minute, Tang Zheng handed the ball to Gotze, and as soon as Gotze turned around, he met Tulalang's frontal defense.

After passing the football, Tang Zheng shouted: "Pass it back." ”

Gotze wanted to pass it back, but his brain subconsciously gave the command and flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.

At this moment, a figure of a Malaga player suddenly flashed to the right of Gotze.

The Spanish national television announcer shouted: "Martín de Michelis!!"

※※※

"Whoa, whoa—"

As Demichelis suddenly stepped up to steal the ball at the feet of Götze, a deafening exclamation suddenly rang out at the Westphalic Lun Stadium.

Tang Zheng was closest to Demichelis, so he naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of being the first line of defense, and he rushed forward without hesitation.

Demichelis was a thief in football, and quickly diverted the ball after attracting Tang Zheng's attention.

It was only at this time that Tang Zheng realized that the position he was playing now was the back midfield, and he should not be so reckless in stepping forward to defend.

But the problem has happened, and now what remains to be done is to make amends.

The football passed to Joaquin's feet, Tang Zheng braked sharply on the spot and quickly ran back.

You must know that the speed of football is much faster than the speed of human movement, and the core tactic of Malaga away against Dortmund is to counterattack quickly, so the counterattack after the break is very tactical......

※※※

The frenetic atmosphere at the Westphazard Lun Stadium was at its lowest point at this moment, and the Malaga players ran under the stands of their expeditionary force to celebrate the goal.

Tang Zheng crossed his hands on his hips, stood in front of the arc of the big forbidden area of his side, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

On a personal level, Borussia Dortmund's goal conceded had something to do with him.

The first is that the pass to Gotze did not give too much thought to the level of integration of Gotze's game, and the second is that it was reckless to pounce on Demichelis, and he did not think that he was no longer playing in the position of central midfielder or midfielder, and there was no Gundogan or Pirlo behind him to protect him......

Yang 5 commentator He Wei was a little worried: "Now the score has become 1:1, and the total score between the two sides has become 2:2, which means that if this score ends now, the two sides will go into extra time, and once Malaga scores another goal, Dortmund will be in danger." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, frowned and continued: "Pirlo's injury has really not had a big impact on Dortmund. ”

Marcel Leif said of Jurgen Klopp's substitution: "Now it seems that Jurgen's tactics are not having the effect he wanted to see, but rather the signals to strengthen the attack and cause the team to become passive. ”

At the same time, Tang Zheng took a deep breath, as the captain, he naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of boosting morale, so he took the initiative to take the blame: "This ball is my responsibility, I didn't observe Mario's surrounding environment, and the defense was also very reckless." ”

Immediately, Tang Zheng's words were raised several degrees, and he shouted: "But don't worry, everyone performs their duties, and we must be the ones who will advance to the top four in the end!"

No one noticed that Götze lowered his head, his hands naturally clenched, and he looked very unwilling.

His unwillingness is justified, strictly speaking, this pot should be carried by himself.

After Tang Zheng passed the football, he asked Götze to pass back, but Götze, who felt the huge pressure, chose to dribble subconsciously......

When the game restarted, Dortmund's attack became cautious, Tang Zheng and Gundogan deliberately controlled the tempo, waiting for substitute Gotze to find the rhythm of the game.

Perhaps influenced by the goal conceded, Götze settled into the game with a quick pace and even completed a dangerous long-range shot.

However, the Malaga defence retreated very far behind, and the defensive three protected each other well, and Dortmund's attack could not reach the core.

The score did not change until the referee Thomson blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the dressing room with a score of 1:1.

The Dortmund players on the broadcast camera were somewhat in a bad mood, and if it weren't for Andrea Pirlo's sudden injury, they would probably have gone into the dressing room with a bigger scoreline, rather than 1-1 as it is now

A draw on aggregate is not a good thing, and it will mean that the rest of the game is full of suspense.

Any mistake is fatal!
