Chapter 0009: How to Coexist with Shaheen (Ask for Votes, Ask for Subscriptions!)
The home atmosphere at Westphalen Stadium is extremely terrifying, but it is already accustomed to the old fritters who have been in the Bundesliga all year round, so many of the players who visited did not behave abnormally, and the Prince Porti, who returned to Cologne in the new season, was not left behind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, this has something to do with the restriction of Shahin, the core of Dortmund's midfield.
In this game he did not show the quality he should have at all, he played more of a role as a midfield playmaker and metronome.
Klopp looked helpless when he stood on the field, Shahin's talent is very good, and he made a name for himself in the Bundesliga early, but he has a big flaw is that he is afraid of physical confrontation, and it is precisely the two central midfielders in the Cologne midfield who are typical midfielders in this game are typical midfielders, which is why Shahin will hide behind and organize attacks.
So, he turned his head to look at Tang Zheng on the bench.
Tang Zheng's hands were crossed to support his chin, and his attention was completely focused on the court.
However, it is not very realistic to make substitution adjustments at this time, and Tang Zheng's run-in with the team is not long, compared to the high rotation rate of the two wings and forwards, the position of central midfielder is much more important, especially Klopp is ready to adjust Tang Zheng as the core of Dortmund's midfield.
It's just that when this thought appeared in his mind, he had a kind of happy trouble, Tang Zheng and Sha Xin overlapped in some roles, such as scheduling, metronome, and back plugging.
If he really had to choose one of the two, Klopp would choose Tang Zheng, because Tang Zheng's body is stronger and covers a stronger area.
Moreover, there is also a certain leadership temperament.
In the blink of an eye, the first half was over, and Dortmund and Cologne exchanged scores.
"Let's go, continue to warm up. ”
Players from both sides walked to the tunnel and players on the bench entered the pitch to warm up, and Tang Zheng called in Barrios and Sven Bender.
Barrios is very outgoing, and both are from South America, and there is no language barrier with Tang Zheng.
Sven Bender is a young man who likes to make friends, and his position on the court can complement Tang Zheng, and the two have also formed a friendship through simple German and body language in the past few days.
During the halftime break, Duan Huo of the on-site commentary seat talked about the most concerned issue of Chinese fans in front of the TV: "Although Tang Zheng joined Dortmund with the highest record of Chinese players transferring to the Bundesliga, we should be more rational, the 2009 Copa Libertadores season did not end until mid-July, and Dortmund re-trained during this time period, don't forget that Tang Zheng experienced the accident of Bayern's physical examination, wasted a lot of time, joined Dortmund for a short time, and had very little time to train with teammates...... And I have to mention the inter-language communication, which is a big problem......"
Duan Huo's remarks are also pertinent, but the Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV are not to watch the broadcast camera and occasionally give Tang Zheng in front of the bench, they want to watch Tang Zheng play!
Duan Huo, who has been a commentator for the Central 5 all the year round, naturally knows what the fans think, so he said: "I think the probability of Tang Zheng playing in the second half is very large, after all, training is always training, and training can never replace the game, and the Tang Zheng we know well happens to be a game-oriented player......"
However, the game went on until the 70th minute, and the live director gave the home team's bench - Tang Zheng to warm up.
He was joined by Paraguayan international Barrios, who moved in the summer.
Cologne played well as the visitors, while Borussia Dortmund, playing at home, struggled to create good chances.
If it weren't for goalkeeper Weidenfeller's excellent form, it is estimated that Dortmund at home would have been attacked by Prince Porti.
It wasn't until the 79th minute of the game, when Tang Zheng came next to the fourth official, that Dortmund broke the deadlock.
Shaheen was surprisingly cut in from the back row and swooped in at the edge of the penalty area, but the goalkeeper was blocked by the defender and it was too late for him to make a side punk......
Tang Zheng, who was about to replace Shahin, first raised his arms excitedly and shouted, and then he turned his head to look at the head coach Klopp, the meaning was obvious - do I still want to play?
He was given the cue - to play.
Because Klopp nodded, and at the same time made a hand gesture to pay attention to the defense.
In the first round of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season, the fourth official held up the electronic card for substitutions, six up, eight down.
At the same time, Duan Huo in the on-site commentary seat perked up: "The game is going on for the eighty-first minute, and we finally waited for Tang Zheng to play!"
Borussia Dortmund's bid in this summer's transfer window has finally come off the bench, and I wonder if he will be able to adapt to the high-intensity rhythm of the Bundesliga after winning the Copa Libertadores Player of the Year. ”
"At just 19 years old, Don came through the River Plate academy and was the top scorer and best player in this year's Copa Libertadores. ”
"I don't know if as the third Chinese player to enter the Bundesliga, can he achieve what Yang achieved in Frankfurt back then?"
……
The TV station with live broadcast permission almost gave comments at the moment when Tang Zheng was waiting to play.
Shaheen, who had scored, reluctantly went back, but he had to go off again.
In professional football, the manager is the authority.
Shaheen is very unhappy with the team's bid for the new season, as his arrival is likely to threaten his position at the club.
So he simply high-fived Tang Zheng, so that Tang Zheng, who was about to hug, looked a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng reacted quickly, he bent down and touched the turf of Westfala Stadium and rushed into the field to start the first Bundesliga game of his career.
In the past two days, his run-in with his teammates has not been good, and he always feels half a beat slower than his teammates' pace.
※※※
Tang Zheng, who replaced Shahin on the field, naturally had to take over the burden of his predecessor, he soon received the football in the attack, and before he could make a second reaction move, he realized that the opposing player was pressing, and out of good reaction speed, he did not adjust the football, but moved sideways.
Podolski didn't expect Tang Zheng's reaction ability to be so fast, it was too late to brake sharply with both feet, and he knocked Tang Zheng to the ground when he accelerated, and the referee's whistle sounded.
Tang Zheng exhaled a long breath, the rhythm of the Bundesliga is really not comparable to the Liga and the Copa Libertadores.
In the Bundesliga, he has plenty of time to observe the position of his teammates and opponents after receiving the ball, but in the Bundesliga, the pace is faster and the players are more able to read the game, often approaching you before you receive the football.
If Tang Zheng hadn't reacted fast enough just now, Prince Porti, who was actively defending, would have broken the football and played a counterattack on the spot.
Captain Dede came up and stretched out his right hand to pull Tang Zheng and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, just change the league environment to play like this, just get used to it." ”
"Hmm. ”
Tang Zheng smiled and nodded, and then devoted 100% attention to the next game.
At the same time, he also kept an eye on the fact that the intensity of confrontation in the Bundesliga is really much stronger than that in the Bundesliga, because under normal circumstances, he will not be easily knocked down in the Liga League.
It seems that you still need to nest in the gym a lot and add about two kilograms of muscle.
Although Cologne is not a strong team in the Bundesliga, or even a strong team, they can still perform at a high level at the home of Europe's No. 1 devil, which means that Cologne is playing overall football.
So Tang Zheng was very careful in the next game, walking on thin ice.
Every time before receiving the ball, he will consciously look left and right to see if there are any opposing players staring at him, and his personal mistakes on the field are rare.
However, as the heart of the midfield, it is not up to par, and his approach to avoiding mistakes directly leads to the team's attack.
Because he doesn't know his teammates' running habits and how to ask for the ball, he can only pass the ball by controlling the football and observing his teammates' positions.
Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines nervously directing the game, shook his head with a smile, Tang Zheng has been on the court for five minutes, and the work on the defensive end has been done very well, but the contribution on the offensive side is almost none, and even his presence has caused the team's offense to be blocked.
Fortunately, he knew how to follow the rules, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to make Shahin and Tang Zheng coexist.
After all, both are capable young men, and it will depend on them for the great revival of Dortmund in time.
In the 88th minute of the game, Tang Zheng used his skillful foot skills in the attacking 30-meter area to dribble past Cologne's defensive midfielder Petit, and his peripheral vision saw Egyptian striker Zidan running forward, so he rubbed a half-high ball, but the opponent stopped halfway through running......
So the football was easily obtained by the Cologne goalkeeper.
Tang Zheng shook his head helplessly, but the striker Qi Dan still turned around and gave him a thumbs up.
Klopp's eyes lit up when he controlled the ball and passed the ball just now.
Tang Zheng still has certain characteristics, his ability to control the ball at his feet is not weaker than Sha Xin's, and his confrontation ability is stronger, and he can even find a gap in the absence of running-in, which means that Tang Zheng can try to play the front waist.
Wouldn't it be possible to solve the problem of coexistence with Shaheen?
Moreover, Tang Zheng also has a strong ability to fight for the top of the header, and he is closer to the penalty area, and the probability of scoring a goal has also increased.
It's not ...... Hainaul from Hungary took a corner kick, Tang Zheng jumped high under the defense of the opposing defender, if it wasn't for the fact that the crosshair was not adjusted well, it is estimated that Dortmund at home would have a two-goal lead.
As time passed, there were also certain problems with the fitness of the players on both sides, and it was difficult for the attack to pose a real threat.
In the end, Dortmund got off to a good start with a narrow 1-0 home win over Cologne in the same state.
Tang Zheng, who only got ten minutes of playing time in this game, did not perform too well, but in the eyes of Klopp, it was enough.
However, at the regular press conference after the game, the media was very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng's performance, they believed that Tang Zheng's confrontation and ball handling have slowed down Dortmund's fast pace in the past, and this kind of player is not enough to represent Dortmund.
Klopp laughed and said nothing, and with the help of press officer Joseph Schnecker, he succeeded in changing the subject.
In short, winning Cologne in the first round without danger is also an explanation to the team's top management.
It's just that this victory doesn't seem to have anything to do with Tang Zheng...... (To be continued.) )
