Chapter 362: The Outer Arc of the Right Foot
"Whew-"
When the Dortmund fans at the Westphara-Lun Stadium saw Tang Zheng deliberately leak the football between his legs, they didn't know why they suddenly couldn't help but raise the volume, creating a deafening huge cheer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The knee-jerk behavior of Iniesta and Pedro is to stretch out their feet to block the ball, and the second reaction is to focus on Tang Zheng.
In a football game, the most taboo is to watch the ball and not look at the people.
Tang Zheng let go of his legs, and the football rolled to Lewandowski, the center who pulled out.
Baltra made a gesture to Lewandowski, Pique tried to break the ball from the other side, but Lewandowski did not mean to stop the ball and turn around, he did not stop the ball and passed directly to the diagonal gap after Tang Zheng turned.
Gerard Pique had already pulled it out and he had to bite the bullet with Busquets out of position.
Interception is preferred, foul is reserved.
A lot of times the idea is good, but it's a bit difficult to implement.
Because the offense often has the absolute initiative and the defense is passive.
Tang Zheng had enough time to observe his teammates' movements when no one was marked, so Pique rushed fiercely.
However, Tang Zheng had already observed the running situation of his teammates, so it was doomed that Pique's position was in vain.
He and Lewandowski play the ball in almost identical ways, the only difference being that he stepped on the football with his right foot and paused.
At the same time, Lewandowski leaned on Baltra's body to complete a ninety-degree turn.
Tang Zheng pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his right foot, opened the pass space, and then followed with the arch of his left foot to push the ball between Pique and Baltra.
Baltra kept squeezing towards Lewandowski as he retreated, but Lewandowski was physically strong and very agile on his feet, so he deliberately bypassed Baltra to cover the area.
In the physical confrontation between the electric and flint, Baltra was already at a loss, plus Lewandowski moved flexibly at his feet and opened up the distance, while Baltra's center of gravity was close to Lewandowski.
It is equivalent to saying that Baltra has lost his support, and his center of gravity is suddenly gone.
Valdés reacted quickly, but Lewandowski reacted faster, more explosive and faster.
In addition, Tang Zheng's passing power is not great, and the forward rolling speed is slow, as if he knows that it takes a little time for Lewandowski and Baltra to compete for positions......
Lewandowski stretched his long legs forward and stabbed the ball first.
Valdés had a sense of pounce after realizing that he couldn't pounce on the football, but Lewandowski had already predicted it, and he jumped early to avoid Valdés' foul.
The next thing is very simple for a striker of Lewandowski's calibre.
A low shot and the ball rolls towards the empty goal.
Left-back Jordi Alba raised his right arm high and looked at the assistant referee.
How he wanted Lewandowski to catch the ball for offside......
Unfortunately, the assistant referee did not raise it, but instead pointed the side flag to the halfway line and ran back at the same time.
That is, the goal works!
※※※
"The goal was, Robert—"
The inflamed voice of live announcer Norbert Dicker was heard on the Westphalia Lun Stadium radio.
The fans at the scene were very tacit, creating a deafening huge response: "- Lewandowski!!"
Lewandowski, who scored the goal, was as excited as a child, and his progress in the past two Bundesliga seasons was obvious to all, scoring goals continuously, but he was still criticized by many German media.
Because his goals are basically concentrated in the league, the Europa League and Champions League goals combined are not enough to double digits.
Some German media once questioned Lewandowski's horizontal nest, scoring goals inside like numbness, and scoring goals outside like the sky.
Now he has scored a crucial goal in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which has somewhat relieved the huge pressure on his back.
Of course, he didn't forget Tang Zheng who passed the ball.
At the end of the personal venting celebration, Lewandowski took the initiative to hug Tang Zheng and said sensationally: "Thank you, Don." ”
Tang Zheng smiled and patted Lewandowski's back in response: "It's you who have a strong grasp ability, I just did what I should do." ”
At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei gave a wonderful comment on Lewandowski's goal: "Beautiful! Lewandowski received a pass from Tang Zheng and dribbled past Valdés to score an empty goal, and Dortmund led Barcelona 2:0 at home! With more than half an hour left in the game, there is no choice for the backward Barcelona, they must increase their attacking efforts!"
"Robert Lewandowski was the hero of Dortmund's goals, but let's not forget the series of work that Don has done before, his leaks and passes are just right, he is completely masterful of the rhythm, and Don with one goal and one assist is the biggest contributor to Dortmund's two-goal lead!"
Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif was very excited, but it has to be said that his commentary partner was controversial.
Polish fans were upset to hear this, and in their hearts, Lewandowski's credit was equally great.
It is undeniable that Tang Zheng's leaks and passes are wonderful, but Lewandowski's sense of coordination, running awareness and shooting feel are excellent.
As long as there is a problem with one of the rings, it is impossible to score a goal!
The fans watched the live broadcast and could not hear the commentators' comments, and their celebration goals were the most pure.
Hysterical roaring in a frenetic live atmosphere to vent the pleasure of scoring goals.
What about losing at home to Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season?
That's because we lack a key player, Tang Zheng!
Now in less than 60 minutes, one goal, one assist, two goals ahead of the Cosmos Barcelona team!
※※※
The whole goal was given in slow motion, and the live director gave Guardiola a close-up.
This scene is a pun, first to see Pep Guardiola's face, and secondly, to hope that he will make changes to Barcelona's current squad.
But how to adjust, there is really no good choice for this Barcelona team now,
Cesc Fabregas, Villa, Tello?
Whoever it is, it's not the best choice.
Cesc Fabregas has been unable to find a sense of being back at Barcelona, and Villa has grown in age and is nowhere near as good as it was in the last two seasons.
Tello has had a dazzling performance, but Guardiola doesn't dare to use the focus of the Champions League semifinals!
At the other end, the Dortmund bench players were all warming up in the warm-up area, ready to play.
Immediately, the camera gave Barcelona star Messi, a close-up shot of his face.
His face was very unsightly, very heavy.
The on-site director suddenly switched the camera again, giving Dortmund captain Tang Zheng, who slowly returned to his own half.
Two tens, again there is a clear contrast.
The Catalan TV commentator's tone dropped significantly: "Barcelona are already 2-0 down to Borussia Dortmund away, and Leao, as the team's number one superstar, really needs to do something, otherwise it is very likely that he will miss the Champions League final again after missing the throat final last season." ”
The Dortmund players slowly walked back to their own half, and Messi turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, who also had the '10' number printed on his back, with mixed feelings.
He is unwilling, why does he always feel powerful every time he meets Tang Zheng!
Damn it!
The game restarted, and Barcelona took advantage of the kick-off advantage to go on the attack quickly and soon had a chance to get their feet.
But Pedro hit too quickly, the crosshair was not adjusted well, and he put the anti-aircraft gun directly in front of the big penalty area.
Another minute passed in the game, and Messi gained space to start by running aggressively, but he did not adjust his crosshair under Tang Zheng's pressure and shot wide of the post.
"Hahaha-"
In response, there was a deafening loud laugh at the Westphal Stadium, and the home fans mocked Messi's incompetence in this way.
Messi frowned, obviously dissatisfied, but he was helpless.
Who made this Dortmund's home turf?
Weidenfeller didn't rush to take the goal-kick, he passed it to the full-backs through a short pass from the back, and Hou Ran handed it to Gundogan from the full-back to control the tempo of the game.
With the Barcelona players conceding two goals, their defensive motivation has been greatly reduced, and Guardiola realises that substitutions are urgent.
※※※
In the 64th minute, veteran Villa replaced Pedro.
This substitution adjustment is quite effective, with Villa in front of them, Messi and Sanchez have more room to move.
Invisibly, Barcelona's attack has changed a lot.
Of course, there are only some improvements.
Messi, Barcelona's most important player in attack, has received the most defensive attention.
The same is true of Xavi, the brain of the midfield, who is the soul of Barcelona's midfield, the heart of the organization, and limiting Xavi is tantamount to stifling Barcelona's attack.
Klopp was pleased with his tactical adjustment and turned his head to look at the substitutes in the warm-up area.
Do you want to improve your control in midfield, or do you want to speed up your attack?
Shaheen has returned significantly after the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, and coupled with the recovery of the league's form, it is enough to cope with this Champions League semi-final.
However, Shaheen's arrival will inevitably require a substitution, and Gotze and Reus will certainly not be able to move.
Tang Zheng is not on the list at all, so he has to choose between Gundogan and Sven Bender.
Gundogan is both offensive and defensive, and is the core of the central and defensive midfield.
Sven Bender is a lively runner, excellent defensively and has a strong sense of defense.
Just then, Pique's long ball from the back was headed back by Hummels, and Gundogan got stuck in position before heading the ball to Sven Bender.
Sven Bender made an advance observation, tiptoed the ball forward with the arch of his right foot, and rolled towards Tang Zheng, who retreated to the Barcelona center circle to receive the ball.
"Whew-"
Suddenly, the frenetic atmosphere at Westphapha's Lun Stadium heated up instantly.
With his back to Xavi and Iniesta, Tang Zheng made a change of center of gravity with his upper body swaying to the right.
Xavi pounced to the right, and Iniesta kept a heart eye and pounced to the left to prevent Tang Zheng from breaking through from the other side with the change in center of gravity.
It is undeniable that Iniesta's guess was accurate, Tang Zheng did take advantage of the change in center of gravity, but he did not turn around from the left side to break through, but stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it back.
Xavi and Iniesta, who wanted to close the door, were half a beat slower, and coupled with Tang Zheng's tonnage and explosiveness, they were like being broken through the level by a heavy truck.
"Don—"
Marcel Leif's voice suddenly rose an octave.
In the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, Busquets was very hesitant, he did not know whether to push out or hold his position.
But Tang Zheng's next choice helped Busquets make a choice, or Busquets had to choose.
Tang Zheng strode forward five meters with the ball and came to the 35-meter area.
Gotze and Reus cut in diagonally from the flanks and Lewandowski pressed the two centre-backs into the box.
Busquets had no choice but to limit Tang Zheng's activities.
It's a pity that Tang Zheng didn't mean to continue to dribble the ball, and he picked up the ball with the outside of his left foot to Gotze on the left rib.
Sanchez defended positively, he tried to stretch his foot to break the ball, but the leg was half a beat slower, and the football was passed out by Tang Zheng first, but it was the toe that rested on Tang Zheng's heel.
The referee Kaushoi saw that Gotze was in possession of the ball, and Tang Zheng only stumbled and did not fall to the ground, and he made a gesture to attack vigorously and continue the game.
Busquets wanted to continue with Tang Zheng, but he didn't expect Gotze to cut inside directly after getting the ball.
Busquets, who was still holding his ground, had no choice but to hold his position and deny the in-cut Gotze a chance to face the goal head-on.
Attracting the attention of Busquets' defence, Gotze did not stick to the ball again, and he passed the ball directly to the attacking left rib without looking.
After Tang Zheng passed the ball to Gotze, the two had an obvious substitution, and Gotze, who came to the middle, was equivalent to handing the ball back to Tang Zheng.
Iniesta and Xavi are slow, Busquets is in the middle, and right-back Alves is suppressed by Schmelzer and does not dare to adduct too deeply, which is equivalent to saying that Tang Zheng, who receives the ball, only has Sanchez, who is actively defending.
Tang Zheng had a wide field of vision, and naturally noticed the positivity of his friend Sanchez, who picked up his left foot while meeting Gotze's pass and made a 45-degree cross on the left side.
If Sanchez had done it before, he would definitely not have made any moves, and Tang Zheng, who was in River Plate, was a right-hander.
Now Tang Zheng's left and right foot ability is more balanced, and Sanchez has to stretch his right foot to block the cross in the high-speed return defense.
Of course, Tang Zheng's left foot didn't hit the football, he just dangled a shot and took advantage of the situation to dunk the ball back to his right foot.
At this point, Sanchez was very glad that he didn't throw himself completely, and he quickly withdrew his right foot.
Tang Zheng didn't give Sanchez too many opportunities to adjust, and picked up his right foot again.
Sanchez, who had just retracted his right foot, had to twist his waist and flick his abdomen, quickly complete a 90-degree turn to the left, and then lift his left foot to block.
"Oh, another feint?"
I saw Tang Zheng in the broadcast camera using his right foot to gently buckle the football to the left, and Marcel Leif's voice was surprised and delighted.
"Damn it!"
Sanchez secretly scolded Tang Zheng in his heart, and it was a little difficult to get back to his center of gravity.
After all, at this stage of the game, his physical fitness has also dropped significantly.
But Tang Zheng's next choice surprised Sanchez again, Tang Zheng's right instep gently squeezed the ball to the left, and then very covertly used the outside instep to kick the ball.
Baltra, who was guarding the front post, was shocked when he saw the football fly from Sanchez into the penalty area.
Just now, he had been paying attention to whether Tang Zheng would continue to break through, and then waiting for the opportunity to make up for the defense, so much so that he forgot to pay attention to Lewandowski.
Tang Zheng's right foot outside the instep is not to mention hidden, and the landing point is excellent.
Like a cruise missile, the ball arced from the outside to the inside around Baltra in front of the front and flew towards Lewandowski......
Behind him, there was a panicked Pique.
