"I really didn't run into him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Tang Zheng tried his best to explain to the referee that he had just learned from coach Klopp that if he got a yellow card in this game, he would be suspended for one game in the next Champions League game.

He knows how important he is to the team, so he tries to keep his emotions in check.

I remember that during his time at River Plate, the first leg of the 2008 Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Fluminense was the third yellow card in the Copa Libertadores that season, thus missing the crucial second leg of the competition, resulting in the visiting River Plate losing 0:1 to Fluminense and being eliminated with fewer away goals.

Is this going to happen again?

Referee Damian Skomina was very sure of his decision, and while taking a pen from his chest pocket to record Tang Zheng's number on the yellow card, he said the basis for his decision: "Your right elbow did hit the opponent's head, I'm sure." ”

"I was a natural movement to keep my body balanced, I really didn't hit it, you don't believe you can watch the slow-motion replay. Tang Zheng pointed to the huge LCD screen at Westphalia Stadium.

Hearing this, referee Damian Scomina's patience ran out, and his face sank: "I told you one last time, I saw it very clearly!"

Captain Kyle realized that Tang Zheng's emotions might be up, he quickly pushed Tang Zheng away, exposed the captain's armband with his left arm tightly to the referee, and pressed the referee.

Although the referee's decision is unlikely to be reversed, it can at least make him more cautious in the following games.

At this time, the live director also gave a slow-motion playback.

Through the analysis of multiple shots, Tang Zheng's right elbow did have a swing out, but whether it hit Ibrahimovic or not, the camera did not explain clearly.

It wasn't until the switch of the sixth shot that Tang Zheng's innocence was proven.

Tang Zheng jumped higher than Ibrahimovic and jumped high to push the ball out, and it was not the elbow that hit Ibrahimovic's head, but the shoulder.

What happened between the lightning and the flint, it is possible that the referee could not see clearly, and he was not in a good position.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif suddenly realised the importance of the yellow card: "Don has received two yellow cards in his last seven Champions League games, this is his third in the Champions League this season, and if Dortmund progress to the quarter-finals, he will miss the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. ”

The referee's decision is really up for debate, and this yellow card will make Tang Zheng miss Dortmund's next Champions League game, of course, provided that Dortmund can stabilize the current situation, win the final game, and advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. ”

He Wei, the central 5 commentator, also has his own opinion on the referee's decision.

"Don't need to say much about how important Don is to Dortmund, I think once Dortmund get to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, then they will be in trouble, because it is not easy for a team to get into the quarter-finals. British Sky commentator Andy Gray said.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp was emotional from the sidelines, because no one knew better than him how important Tang Zheng was to the team.

Now the team has a one-goal lead at home, extending the aggregate score to two goals and progressing to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

There is no weak team in the Champions League, no matter which opponent is drawn at that time, the opponent in the 1/4 finals will not be easy to deal with, if you lose Tang Zheng again, it will be a disaster!

Fortunately, assistant coach Gerliko Bouácz did not stand in front of the dugout, and he and strength and conditioning coach Oliver Bartlett dragged Klopp back to his own dugout, while also apologizing to the fourth official.

The live director keenly captured the footage and played it out in a subsequent deadball opportunity.

Marcel Leif shook his head and said: "Jurgen Klopp is a character manager, and he was a little emotional when Don innocently received a yellow card, but I have to say that he was a little impulsive, if it wasn't for the assistant coach's quick response, it would not only be Don who missed the Champions League quarterfinals, but also the manager." ”

Tang Zheng, who received a yellow card, was a little out of control, and he shoveled the ball out of the sideline in the subsequent defense of Ibrahimovic.

Now the AC Milan players are gone, Tang Zheng's defensive action is very big, and he has a yellow card on his back, most AC Milan players have a lot of game experience.

How could such an opportunity be missed?

They complained emotionally, hoping that the referee would give Tang Zheng his second yellow card of the game.

Tang Zheng is very important to Dortmund, and he knows it best as an enemy.

If Tang Zheng is sent off, AC Milan has a good chance of turning the defeat on the road and getting a chance to qualify for the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League!

But the referee didn't mean to give cards, and didn't even give a warning, indicating that it was an ordinary confrontation.

Captain Kyle realized that Tang Zheng's emotions seemed to be a little excessive, he turned around and grabbed Tang Zheng's elbow, and said quickly: "Don, don't be impulsive, be calm! ”

In fact, when the referee blew the whistle just now, he reversed himself, so he tapped his chin to show understanding.

Head coach Jurgen Klopp came to the sidelines to remind Tang Zheng to keep his head clear, but the team leader Kyle did, and he happily returned to the coach's box, took the nutritional drink handed by the physical trainer Oliver Bartlet, and took a sip.

In the past half hour, he has spent a lot of energy, and now he should supplement some nutrients.

Although Tang Zheng quickly calmed down, the AC Milan players still hoped to find a breakthrough from him and get an equalizer.

It's just that the result made them feel very disappointed, Tang Zheng's defensive movements were fast, accurate, and ruthless, and he didn't give the AC Milan players a chance at all.

Even Dortmund almost got a chance to counterattack quickly because of Tang Zheng's excellent defense.

If it weren't for Kuba's misjudgment of the situation, Dortmund's chances would have been better if he had passed the ball early.

The game once again entered a stalemate, with both sides concentrating in the middle, and no one could help anyone.

AC Milan are looking to score an early equaliser to keep their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

As a result, when referee Damian Scomina blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score remained at 1:0

Borussia Dortmund lead AC Milan.

Meanwhile, the Allianz Arena in Munich.

The scoreboard shows 4:0, Bayern Munich leads the visiting Basel by four goals at home, and advancing to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League is already a certainty, and there will be no surprises.

On the other hand, on the Dortmund side, there was still some suspense in the second half.

With 45 minutes left in the second half, AC Milan are a resilient team and no one dares to pack a ticket that they won't score twice in a row in the remaining 45 minutes.

Therefore, the problem that Klopp talked about the most during the break was to strengthen the pressure on the AC Milan players, reduce their pass success rate, and at the same time switch from defense to attack to hand over the football to Tang Zheng in the first place, followed by Gundogan.

In the end, Klopp pulled Tang Zheng to speak alone.

"Don, I hope you don't have too much burden in your heart, the Champions League knockout round is a two-legged home and away legacy, and the premise for your yellow card suspension is that we will advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Klopp patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Trust your teammates, they are all great!"

"I know that. Tang Zheng nodded firmly, and then gave Klopp a hug: "It must be our Dortmund who advances to the quarterfinals!"

"That's right!"

In the second half, the side changed sides and fought again, and neither side made adjustments to the use of personnel in the first half.

It seems that both Jurgen Klopp and Allegri have chosen to trust the players on the pitch and wait for the situation to develop before making relevant changes.

The attacking attack of AC Milan players has been declining under the active pressure of Dortmund players, and there is no way to organize an effective attack.

Emmanuelsen has been outstanding during his time at Ajax, but he has not played many times at AC Milan, so it will be very difficult to expect him to play the role of veteran Seedorf in such a relatively difficult game.

With no choice but to do so, Allegri opted to make a substitution.

Pato, who experienced the game, replaced the gradually lost Shaarawy, maintaining the pace of the attack on the wing and increasing the scoring ability in the frontcourt.

Compared to El Shaarawy, Pato has more speed and shooting ability.

It's just that what Allegri didn't expect was that Dortmund didn't give AC Milan's attacking players much time to think about the ball, whether it was Emmanulsen or Robinho, their passes were difficult to pass under Dortmund's active running, especially into the attacking 30-meter area.

Ibrahimovic is like a bare-bones commander, stuck in Dortmund's deadly zone, but Ibrahimovic without a football under his feet is a toothless tiger and cannot pose any threat at all.

The Champions League atmosphere at Westphalia is still feverish, with home side Borussia Dortmund increasing their own attacking freneties while reducing the visitors' pass success rate.

It is disappointing that the success rate of the attack has not come up for a long time.

Jurgen Klopp wondered if he should make a change to the right side of the attack.

With a noticeable drop in form from Cooba's game, perhaps a better option would have been with Royce.

※※※

In the 60th minute, Reus replaced Koopa.

AC Milan made their second substitution of the game at the same time, with Allegri standing next to the fourth official and constantly telling K. Boateng.

With the arrival of K. Boateng, AC Milan's 4312 formation became a 4333 formation.

Pato and Robinho played left and right, with K. Boateng, who replaced Emmanuelsen in the field, playing in a midfield position.

The Italian national television commentator was not surprised by Allegri's adjustment, but he was a little worried: "With half an hour left in the game, is it too early for Massimiliano Allegri to change the formation?

A litany of questions that the fans of AC Milan listened to in front of the TV set.

In fact, his fears are well-founded.

And Dortmund proved his point of view right in a subsequent attack.

Tang Zheng and Gundogan switched positions, and K. Boateng was more advanced than Emmanuelsen, so much so that he was longer with Nocerino and Van Bommel in the position.

Van Bommel is old and now plays with game experience, with a small range of movement, which means that the work of sweeping around is left to Nocerino.

But will he be able to do the job of sweeping around?

The answer, of course, is no.

Most of Dortmund's players on the field are very young, yes, but their tactical literacy is very high, and the skills at their feet are not weak, and AC Milan, who eat their old roots, will not get a respite after Reus comes on the field.

Not to mention stepping up the attack and trying to equalize.

Allegri looked nervous as he walked back and forth in the visiting coach's command area.

Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp is no better, and this time is quite crucial.

If you accidentally get an equaliser by AC Milan, the game is out of control.

Momentum is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it has a crucial impact on the game.

A few minutes after the game, the live director took advantage of the relatively flat scene to suddenly switch cameras, and Klopp pulled Sven Bender to say something, like a last word before the game.

Many commentators have speculated about the changes that Dortmund will make.

Sven Bender is a defensive midfielder with little impact on the offensive end, so his presence means that Klopp is there to strengthen the team's defence.

So for whom?

Is it to replace the offensive player, or to adjust the alignment?

Who comes on will define the tone for the rest of Dortmund's game.

In the end, Tang Zheng's back-inserted shot hit the blocked Van Bommel popped up the bottom line, the dead ball was generated, the referee signaled a substitution on the sidelines, and the suspense was revealed.

Sven Bender replaces Gundogan.

This...... It's to intensify the offense!

Sven Bender's defensive ability and coverage area are better than Gundogan's, and his play is undoubtedly equivalent to liberating Tang Zheng.

In fact, Allegri would prefer Sven Bender to replace Gotze or Lewandowski, so that he can signal the team to increase their attacking efforts.

Now, I can only bite the bullet and take a huge risk.

The game went on paper, with Sven Bender's arrival giving Tang more time to attack.

Van Bommel and Nocerino simply couldn't cope with it, and K. Boateng, who played in the midfield, had to come back to assist in the central defence.

And just like that, the game came to the seventy-five minute point

Dortmund played very eloquently, and the Dortmund fans at the Westfala Stadium erupted with even greater energy, cheering wave after wave.

The score was still fixed at 1:0, with Dortmund leading.

The first thing AC Milan need to do if they want to beat Borussia Dortmund to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League is to make sure they score two goals in a row without conceding a goal.

Only then can the aggregate score equalize and go to extra time.

However, time is running out and time is running out for AC Milan.

Allegri had one last card left in his hand, and he was hesitant to adjust his defense or increase his offense.

Because the current AC Milan has fallen into a desperate situation!
