Chapter 140: The Dancers of the Dragon Field
No one expected that Dortmund would organize an effective attack at the beginning stage, and most commentators at this time were still habitually reporting the starting lineups of both sides of the game......
The football was handed over to goalkeeper Helton, and German Sky commentator Marcel Leif felt sorry: "Jakub Blaszczykowski had a good understanding of Don's passing, but he didn't adjust his physical condition at the beginning of the game, and if he managed to stop the football just now, it would definitely be a great opportunity!"
Falco, who was wearing his crotch, turned his head and glanced at Tang Zheng, and smiled helplessly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But in this smile, there is more of a helplessness.
Tang Zheng is even more powerful than when he was in River Plate before!
Instead of driving the ball forward, goalkeeper Helton, who got the ball, roared at the back line, signaling them to be more focused.
Because Hulk and Falcao are limited in height, it is difficult to grab a header in front of Tang Zheng, Hummers and Subotic, who are more than 1.9 meters, and advancing layer by layer is Porto's strategy at home.
Tang Zheng didn't pay too much attention to Falcao, he immediately beckoned his teammates to press forward, and pressed Porto's midfield and back in the midfield, preventing them from comfortably organizing the attack.
As soon as Moutinho received the football, he noticed that Kuba, who was still sighing in the sky, rushed over and hurriedly chose to hand the ball to Guarin.
Kuba didn't stop where he was, he followed Moutinho's forward steps back in.
Guarín was pressed by Gotze and he had to pass the ball to Fernando.
It's true that Fernande is Brazilian, but his shining position is a defensive midfielder, more often responsible for the protection of football, and he is not very good at controlling the ball at his feet, so he noticed that Grosskreutz rushed and passed the ball directly to central defender Otamendi.
At the same time, Dortmund's midfield continued to press high under Tang Zheng's appeal, forcing goalkeeper Helton, who finally got the ball, to clear the ball.
"Borussia Dortmund really dare to play away from home!" Marcel Leif shouted: "They started the game with the familiar high press in the first defence!
New Wolves Sports commentator Huang Jianxiang looked at the broadcast camera and said: "Porto was pressed by Dortmund's high position and had to choose to clear with a big foot, and Hummels pressed Hulk to give the ball to Sven Bender!"
Sven Bender didn't stick the ball, and handed it to Tang Zheng who pulled out the catch space as soon as possible.
"Woo-woo-"
The Porto fans in the stands erupted in huge boos in the hope of helping the team through their efforts.
But Tang Zheng, who received the football, did not rush to play the ball, but signaled his teammates to slow down and control the rhythm.
Regarding Tang Zheng's choice, Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, still agreed.
Although the team should be cautious away from home, Tang Zheng's approach is also a good attempt, to control the pace of the game steadily, and maybe take the lead in a certain period of time?
In the two legs of home and away matches, away goals are particularly important.
If they break the deadlock on the road, Porto will be in a state of panic at home, and the team will be able to fish in troubled waters......
Thinking of this, Klopp was looking forward to Tang Zheng's performance in this game.

"Keep hitting the ground, don't blindly start the ball!"
Five minutes into the first leg of the 2010-2011 Europa League 1/16 final, Porto coach Villas-Boas loudly reminded his players on the sidelines to execute their tactics.
The players on the field have unspeakable hardship, Dortmund's high pressure makes them have to choose to clear the siege with big feet, otherwise once Dortmund is pressed by the high position to break the ball, the consequences are really unimaginable.
That's where the pressure comes in, and if the home team concedes first, it basically means more pressure for the rest of the game.
It was Dortmund's turn to switch from defense to attack, and football soon came to the feet of Tang Zheng.
According to Villas-Boas's pre-match deployment, Moutinho, who has a certain defensive ability, pressed forward.
Of course, he didn't gamble to break the ball forward, but to keep a safe distance from Tang Zheng and block his passing route.
But will Dortmund's core be so easily restricted?
Apparently not.
Tang Zheng handed the ball directly to right wing-back Piszczek with his right foot, and then ran forward.
Uruguayan winger Christian Rodriguez rushed towards Piszczek, who didn't lift his head before passing the ball directly to his recovered national team team-mate Kuba.
Pereira followed Kuba close and didn't let him turn.
But Kuba didn't mean to take the ball and turn around, he used the arch of his right foot to end the ball to Tang Zheng, who came to the right rib.
Due to the fact that the pass is a one-kick pass, Kuba's foot skills are limited, and his control of the football is not particularly in place, and the ball position is somewhat forward.
Just as Tang Zheng was about to accelerate to catch the ball, he saw Fernando putting a shovel on the run.
In order to prevent injury, Tang Zheng hurriedly jumped up, and the football was kicked out of Dortmund's attacking right sideline by Fernando.
After Tang Zheng landed, he couldn't help but look back at Fernando, a Brazilian who didn't look amazing.
He suddenly remembered that Klopp had focused on the Brazilian beast waist before the game!
Strong body, outstanding interception and marking ability, wide running coverage, fast recovery speed!
Really!
Judging from the defensive tackle out of the sideline just now, Fernando's defensive coverage is very large, and the choice is very decisive, and he is the kind of defensive midfielder with a strong sense of defense.
Tang Zheng stuck the position to ask for the ball, and Piszczek threw the sideline ball with both hands without any hesitation.
I saw that Fernando, who was stuck behind Tang Zheng, pushed forward, and Tang Zheng, who had just stopped the football with his chest, had no way to adjust his center of gravity and fell forward to the ground.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Fernando, but did not mean to give a card.
Fernando shrugged his shoulders and said innocently that he had not fouled, but that Tang Zheng was too weak and fell down as soon as he hit it.
Standing on the sidelines, Boas complained about the referee's decision before giving Fernande a thumbs up.
Obviously, this is Boas's response to Dortmund's high press.
Tang Zheng is the source of Dortmund's attack, and he uses Fernando's excellent defensive awareness to help defend the middle and limit Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the grass, looked at Fernando, a Brazilian walking back, and smiled.
A defensive midfielder who is too strategic is sometimes not good......
※※※
Borussia Dortmund's defense is not only reflected in high pressing, but also in the low post, so Moutinho, who receives the ball in the attacking 30 meters, has no room to pass forward.
As a last resort, he opted to dunk the ball back.
But Tang Zheng had already thought that he made an early emergency stop and turned to the right, and the long leg of his left foot stepped forward flexibly to cut off the connection between the football and Moutinho.
But then the question arises.
As soon as Tang Zheng broke off the football, Fernando, who was in charge of attacking and protecting the football, rushed up, and he was violent, with a posture of becoming a benevolent if he did not succeed.
At this moment, Tang Zheng, who had a headache, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He stepped forward with his right-foot, which he had just raised, stepped on the ball that continued to roll forward, and pulled it back.
Fernando, who rushed over his head, hurriedly came to a sharp brake and stretched out his left foot to try to reach the ball.
Moutinho, who was cut off by Tang Zheng, saw the football appear in front of him again, and subconsciously stretched out his right foot to kick the ball.
At the same time, Tang Zheng completed a 180-degree turn, took over the work of the right foot with his left foot, and pulled the ball back horizontally with the sole of his foot.
Neither Fernando nor Moutinho touched the football.
"Whew-"
Seeing this, a burst of exclamations subconsciously erupted in the sky above the Dragon Stadium.
"Beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang, the commentator of New Wolf Sports, shouted: "Tang Zheng maneuver appeared in the Dragon Stadium!"
"Don! brilliant dribble, Marseille slalom!" Marcel Leif raised his voice sharply: "This is a chance for Dortmund to counterattack quickly!"
On the pitch, Fernando knew that once Tang Zheng made a breakthrough, it would definitely be a huge blow to the team's backline, so he consciously raised his outstretched left foot.
The purpose is to kick down Tang Zheng!
Tang Zheng reacted quickly and wanted to get around Fernando's elevated left foot, but he was still half a beat slower, and he was kicked to the top of his foot, and his center of gravity was affected.
The referee's whistle was already in his mouth, just waiting for Tang Zheng to fall to the ground.
But Tang Zheng did not fall to the ground, his strong arms supported his body and did not fall completely.
He awkwardly swept the ball to Sven Bender.
The attacker controls the ball, the referee signals that the offense is favorable, and the game continues!
Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground, reacted quickly, holding on to the grass, just like starting on the spot at the beginning of the 100-meter race.
Sven Bender fed the ball into Tang's forward path, and he organized the rapid counter-attack.
In addition to Gotze deliberately running out of the space to meet Tang Zheng, Kuba, Grosskreutz and Barrios followed the pre-match deployment of the highly layered forward movement.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng, who had the ball, became the focus, and all the Porto players focused on him.
Guarin, who was very disdainful of Tang Zheng before, did not dare to rob, and he beware of Tang Zheng's pass to Gotze when he fought and retreated.
Tang Zheng, who was running, made a feint to pass the ball to Gotze, and the center of gravity of Guarin's body, which was like a frightened bird, had an obvious tilt to the left.
Tang Zheng raised his right foot and buckled the ball to the left and broke through!
This time, Guarin did not go to Tang Zheng, but followed Ge Ze.
Because Fernand, who was shaken by Tang Zheng, was chasing back at high speed!
He has a lot of confidence in his club teammates!
But......
The presence of Barrios, Kuba and Grosskreutz in front of Porto and Fernando in his absence meant that there was a big vacuum in Porto's midfield and back line.
Tang Zheng didn't have any worries after deducting Guarin, he chose to stride forward.
At this time, Fernando found that the high-speed recovery he had been proud of had no effect, because he quickly realized that Tang Zheng was getting farther and farther away from him......
