Chapter 201: Boiling Westphalic Lun

The game entered 30 minutes, and the visiting Arsenal was not able to play their familiar attacking routines, and Dortmund, who were playing at home, was already getting better. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was more linkage between Tang Zheng and Andrea Pirlo, and Dortmund's attack was more diverse.

Whether it's Tang Zheng or Andrea Pirlo, they both have a strong ability to play long balls and through balls, so much so that Arsenal's defense is a little tight.

Mikel Arteta, the playmaker at the heart of central midfield, has had to focus more on defending and has no time to organise attacks.

Captain Robin van Persie has fallen into a one-man situation up front, and those who know him well know that he is the kind of striker who needs support from midfield or would not be able to bring out his best qualities.

Arsene Wenger paced back and forth in the technical command area of the visiting team's coach, with the live director frequently giving close-ups.

Jurgen Klopp, who was watching from the sidelines, looked laid-back, and even had time to joke with the home fans next to him.

The acting head coach, Zheliko Bwack, also crossed Erlang's legs gracefully, and he couldn't see much nervousness.

It's the connection between Tang Zheng and Pirlo again, Pirlo made a long pass directly to the right after getting the ball, and Piszczek crossed directly after getting the ball, but unfortunately Lewandowski failed to top the power under the interference of Koscielny, and the football was easily obtained by Szczesny.

Two minutes later, Pirlo, who received the ball from Tang Zheng, made a gesture to divide the ball, but he dangled a shot and used the flexibility of his ankle to pass the ball to Tang Zheng's feet, and it was too late for Yashan Dasong and Arteta to defend Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng, who came to the top of the arc of the penalty area, raised his left elbow and forced a shot under the interference of Yashan Dasong.

Fortunately, there was an interference in the back of Yashan Dasong, which caused Tang Zheng's crosshair to not be adjusted well, and the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the near post, crashing into the billboard, and making a crisp "bang." ”

"Whoa"

Westphalen Stadium erupted in great regret.

Borussia Dortmund had a succession of attacks that threatened the goal, and Arsene Wenger simply dictated to the players on the pitch.

Defend first, then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Anyway, Walcott and Gervinho are extremely fast and good on the counter-attack.

Moreover, the overall advance 0 offense indirectly limits the sprint space of Walcoat and Gervinho, and the defensive counterattack is tantamount to liberating their ability.

Arsene Wenger's make-up was immediate, and the extremely fast Theo Walcott gained space to impact and formed a one-on-one momentum.

That's when Weidenfeller stepped up and he kept Walcott's shot out of the way.

Walket was so depressed that he didn't score, and he put his head in his hands and felt sorry.

With Walcott's quick counter-attack causing danger to Weidenfeller's goal, Dortmund's attacking midfield became more patient and less reckless than before.

Tang Zheng also increased the range of running to better connect the midfield attack.

It is equivalent to Dortmund's midfield organized by Pipiello, and the midfield is organized by Tang Zheng and Gotze in turn.

Because Tang Zheng's scoring ability is stronger than Gotze's, in Dortmund's tactical system, Gotze, who has organizational ability, shoulders more organizational responsibilities, so that Tang Zheng can get a chance to shoot.

Of course, in Tang Zheng's mind, personal scoring is not the first priority, he can calmly analyze when he has the opportunity, whether he has a big shot or pass to his teammates to score a better chance.

So why was Tang Zheng able to complete the double 20+ data last season.

The game went by very quickly with the back-and-forth between the two sides, and in the blink of an eye it came to the end of the first half.

Borussia Dortmund, who play at home, have more assists and 58 per cent of the ball shows that they are better at keeping the ball at their feet.

Perhaps it was more possession that led to overconfidence, and some of Dortmund's players relaxed a little.

Borussia Dortmund were slow to switch from defence to attack and were ready to consume the rest of the game.

However, just as the ball was passed to Subotic's feet, Van Persie suddenly accelerated forward to try to break the ball, and Subotic was a little unprepared for Van Persie, who suddenly appeared next to him, and the football was kicked to Walcott by Van Persie's sliding tackle.

Van Persie, who completed the tackle, was quick to get up and was a clever runner, and he saw Walcott's pass from behind to up, and Hummels reached for offside as he ran.

As a result, the linesman followed Van Persie's run, that is...... No offside!

"Woo woo"

Van Persie adjusted his run to the roar of boos erupting from Westphalen Stadium and suddenly shot from about 14 yards out.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller had to make a downed save halfway through the attack, only to slow down his body by half a beat and the ball grazed his palm and rolled towards the far goal.

The visiting Arsenal equalised through a mistake by Borussia Dortmund with the ball at the back!

Subotic, who made a fatal mistake before the end of the first half, was depressed and held his head in his hands.

At this time, Tang Zheng walked over and took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder: "Nevin, don't think too much, it's normal to make mistakes, so what we need to do is to avoid mistakes and come on!"

"Hmm!" Subotic nodded, pursed his lips.

This scene happened to be captured by the live broadcaster, and the German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said thoughtfully: "How do I feel that Don is more suitable to be the captain than Sebastian?"

Of course, there is no such thing as a sentence.

A minute of stoppage time passed quickly, with the referee blowing the final whistle and players from both sides walking from the pitch to the tunnel and into the dressing room to prepare for the second half.

Due to UEFA's latest rules, suspended managers are not allowed in the dressing room, so Dortmund's assistant coach Zhelikobvac relayed Klopp's tactical changes via phone call.

In general, the team's technical and tactical style of play remains the same, which is to strengthen the high pressing, which was relaxed a few minutes before the end of the first half, so that Van Persie still has the energy to devote to his personal counter-attack.

There is a detailed deployment here in the high press, and Pirlo's characteristics make him unsuitable for this kind of work, so the high press is done by Kyle, and Pirlo can also organize the attack from defense to offense while dragging back to choose a position to defend.

In the visiting dressing room, Arsene Wenger commented on his players' performance in the first half.

As the godfather of Arsenal, no one dared to refute Wenger's words, so the visiting team's dressing room has basically become Wenger's word.

But this is also normal, after all, half-time is the manager's tactical change in the second half, and the players have to do something very simple, which is to talk less and listen more.

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, and players from both sides began to arrive on the pitch, and the scattered empty seats in the stands slowly filled up.

The second half of the 2011-2012 Champions League Group F match between Dortmund and Arsenal was officially announced at the whistle of the referee.

Dortmund, who had the advantage of the kick-off, did not rush to attack, but kept the football at the feet of their teammates under the conscious control of Tang Zheng and Pirlo.

As the home stadium of Europe's No. 1 Devils, the Westphalen Stadium has maintained a very frenetic atmosphere on the scene, especially when the home team's players organize the attack, and the cheers they create are breathtaking.

※※※

Although Borussia Dortmund did not have a manager on the sidelines for their first Champions League game after nine years, they played with ease under the control of Tang Zheng and Andrea Pirlo.

Arsenal are the Premier League's team with the most emphasis on foot-to-foot coordination, and now Borussia Dortmund are more concerned about passing at their feet than they do.

In fact, with the arrival of Tang Zheng and the rise of Gotze, Dortmund has begun to pay attention to the technical coordination at the feet, and now with Pirlo, the tactical play has become more diversified.

It can quickly achieve a one-kick pass, and can also complete high-quality offensive direction transfer.

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Dortmund dominated the home team, so much so that the visiting coach Arsene Wenger came to the dugout to discuss with the coaching staff whether the team should give up on increasing the attacking intensity.

In the 66th minute, Dortmund took the lead in making substitutions, with Perisic replacing Kuba to strengthen the wing attack.

Wenger, who was still hesitating, made a quick decision and asked the team to pay attention to the defense first, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Immediately afterwards, the underperforming Israeli international Benayoun was replaced by Ramsey to strengthen the protection of the middle.

Arsene Wenger's substitution strengthened the defence while also emphasising attack, with Ramsey having strong attacking attributes and being more familiar with Arsenal's tactical system than Benayoun when he first joined.

Perisic may not be as fast as Kuba, but his footwork, scoring ability and passing ability are beyond Kuba's.

Klopp's tactical intention of the change of remote control team is very obvious, that is, to rely on a strong right side to penetrate the left side of the defense of young player Gibbs and create opportunities for Lewandowski and Tang Zheng who is inserted in the back.

The penalty in the first half was a play on Arsenal's focus on defending on the left, resulting in a void on the right.

Moreover, Perisic has a strong sense of grabbing points and can enter the box to fight for the top when Dortmund attack on the left.

Two minutes later, Pirlo, who had the ball, played a direct pass down the left flank, and Schmelzer and Gotze came together to make a tacit one-two and then scrambled to cross directly before Sagna was in place.

Lewandowski's false shot at the front post interfered with Mertesacker's judgment, and Perisic, who was high speed forward at the back post, suddenly flashed in front of Koscielny to complete the duel.

Szczesny, who was in good position, subconsciously reached out to block, and the ball went over the crossbar, and the Westfalsey Stadium erupted in great regret.

A palpitating Szczesny roared at Koscielny.

How can you let the opposing full-backs easily enter the penalty area and fight for the top, and still grab in front of them?

Koscielny knew that he had a problem with the defensive positioning, so he waved at Szczesny.

Borussia Dortmund played brilliantly with Arsene Wenger pacing back and forth in the command area, looking anxious.

An away draw is acceptable, but a loss is not in the plan.

Arsenal are all seeded teams in this group, how can they lose easily?

So after this dangerous situation, Wenger believes that the team should not be too conservative, otherwise it is very likely to get the first defeat of the new Champions League away from home.

Through his assistants, Wengela took the 19-year-old Wilshire to teach him face-to-face.

Seventy-three minutes later, Mikel Arteta, who had not yet integrated into the team, was replaced by Arsenal Academy youngster Wilshere.

Aaron Ramsey, who can attack and defend well, returned to the central midfield position and partnered Yashan Dasong, with Wilshere attacking in tandem in the midfield position.

I have to say that Wenger's substitution adjustment is very timely, and when Dortmund was in full swing, he replaced Wilshere, who was very smart in dribbling and passing, so that Arsenal's midfield control was not left behind at all.

Arsenal's substitutions were timely, but Borussia Dortmund were a little behind when it came to making adjustments, as it took time for Jurgen Klopp to play remotely via a wireless headset.

By the time Klopp realised Arsene Wenger's intention to make substitutions, it was too late, so Tang Zheng had to focus too much on defending as Arsenal's control increased.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said: "In addition to Pirlo, Dortmund's lineup has rich experience in Champions League games, and captain Kyle last participated in the Champions League nine years ago, so this Bundesliga champion has some deficiencies in rhythm control, and manager Klopp has been banned for one game, so he can't make tactical changes through the players on the field in time." ”

Dortmund's attacking routine still wants to pursue the way to success in the first half, but the Arsenal midfielder does not give Pirlo much space at all, and captain Kyle does a good job of distributing the ball, but there is a problem with Dortmund's offensive connection after the ball.

Just as the on-site broadcast camera swept to Tang Zheng, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif muttered: "I think when there is a problem with the team's attack, Don, as the number one star in the team, should stand up and solve the existing problems for the team." ”

Of course, Tang Zheng also worked hard, and he was still running actively, but he lacked a chance.

Yashan Da Song stuck like a piece of kraft candy, and didn't give him a chance at all.

However, this situation must be faced as a core-level player, so Tang Zheng sprinted again and took Yashan Dasong to an anaerobic exercise.

The ball was eventually cleared by Ramsey, but there was a clear problem with his fitness, and he held his knees with his hands and took the time to gasp for air.

Arsene Wenger noticed Ahsan Dasong's fitness but he couldn't fix it, and there were no substitutes on the bench other than 19-year-old Coquelin who were suitable for the role of defensive midfield.

Therefore, this situation can only be solved by Yashan Dasong himself.

And as the game approached 80 minutes, it was more about the perseverance of the players.

Another time Ahsan Dasong did his best to clear the ball off the touchline, and Schmelzer was ready to throw the ball to the touchline.

Tang Zheng took the initiative to meet the ball, and at the same time made a vague small movement in his hand.

Schmelce intentionally threw a half-high ball, Tang Zheng first pouted his buttocks, pushed Yashan Dasong, and then went forward to catch the ball.

Yashan Da Song stuck to it without taking a breath, but as soon as Tang Zheng let go, the football grazed his chest and fell to the middle of the field.

Pirlo waited a long time, and then grabbed the ball before Wilshere came up and gave the ball to Tang Zheng, who was close to Yashan Dasong to complete the turn.

Because Yashan Da Song had a yellow card on his back, he didn't dare to use foul actions behind him.

Suddenly, Westphalun Stadium was boiling!

Tang Zheng faced the goal head-on, the opportunity came!
