Chapter 161: Better Than Before!

"Woo-woo-"

As Tang Zheng pulled the ball with the soles of his feet and turned around to divide the ball, the home fans of the Love Song Stadium erupted in huge boos. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In this way, they expressed their dissatisfaction with Tang Zheng and put pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee could blow the whistle and end Dortmund's attack.

But the referee has his own subjective judgment, he believes that both of them have hand movements, and Tang Zheng is only equivalent to legitimate defense, so he did not blow the whistle.

“Shit!!”

Villarreal coach Garido broke a sentence.

It's good to say that it was other players who were shaken, but it was the captain Senna who was shaken!

Senna's role is extremely important for Villarreal, his ball is very timely and clear-cut, his defense is not muddy, and he is always able to get the most out of it while paying the least price!

In addition, Senna has a lot of experience in the game, has a strong ability to read the game, and knows where to play in the defensive phase.

Now that there is only one Cazorla left who is strong and weak, how can he not be worried?

In stark contrast, Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, with his excited upper body half a step forward and his expression exaggerated, looked very much looking forward to what was to come.

After Tang Zheng passed Senna, he did not drag the slightest mud and water, but directly made a long pass to attack the right side.

"Mario Gotze!!" the live director cuts to the camera, and Marcel Leif exclaims.

Running at high speed, Gotze jumped up with his left foot, and his right foot was extended to stop the ball half a meter in front of him.

Musacchio, who had to attack on the left flank in Capdevilla's absence, had some concerns about the talented teenager Gotze, who had taken a regular place in Borussia Dortmund this season.

Or rather, he was worried about Gotze's handling of the ball.

Gotze is one of the best in the Dortmund squad with his skill at his feet, his attacking ability and one-on-one ability, and crucially his composure on the ball and his ability to deliver dangerous through balls.

It can be said to be a weakened version of Kaka.

So Musacchio just blocked the line of Gotze's cut and did not take the initiative to grab it.

Now Götze is no longer the Götze who is new to the field, he is now very good at passing and controlling, knowing when to control the ball himself, knowing when to pass the ball.

No, he drew Musacchio out and slowed down, then used the outside of his right foot to attack the right rib with the outside of his right foot when Barrios stepped forward.

Rapid counter-attacks have been one of Dortmund's usual tactics this season, and the players have been in perfect shape.

Almost as soon as Gotze passed the ball, Barrios consciously ran towards the void left by Musacchio's defense.

"Pretty—"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif raised his voice an octave and shouted: "Dortmund's quick counterattack!"

Barrios wasn't very fast, but in his black away shirt he was like a black whirlwind that swept through Dortmund's attacking right flank, sending countless grass clippings into the air.

Marchena's age has long passed his prime, and his physical fitness has declined significantly, whether it is explosiveness or absolute speed, there is no way to compare with Barrios, who is now at the peak of his physical age.

The Villarreal players at the Love Song Stadium looked at the situation on the field, very anxious, and their hearts almost rose to their throats.

From their visual point of view, Dortmund are in a three-on-four state.

Musacchio turned to follow Gotze, and Cazorla chased back at high speed to fill the gap left by Senna in the middle, that is, to act as a natural barrier in front of the central defender, and Marchena was involved by Barrios on the left side of his defence.

However, there is no need to act as a barrier now, and with both centre-backs being dragged out of their own defensive zone, Cazorla's high-speed follow-up is to fill the vacancy at centre-back.

Grosskreutz and Gonzalo battle for speed at the far end.

Villarreal's two centre-backs are now involved in the left side of their own defence by Gotze and Barrios, and are not in the central defensive area, even if Cazorla fills the position, it will be difficult to reassure the home fans in the stands.

As the head coach, Garrido knows best.

The Valencia TV commentator had to admit: "Villarreal's goal is dangerous!"

※※※

"Whoa, whoa—"

Suddenly, the home fans on both sides of the middle line of the Love Song Stadium erupted in a tsunami-like exclamation.

Soon, the exclamations quickly spread from these two sides to the entire stadium.

It wasn't Barrios and Gotze who pulled Villarreal's two central defenders out of their defensive zone, but Tang Zheng, who was wearing a black jersey, swept through the center of the pitch at high speed like a black whirlwind.

Villarreal's two wing-backs were quick and gritted their teeth to chase back at high speed.

However, their absolute speed seemed to be much slower than Tang Zheng's, because the distance between them and Cazorla, who was chasing back at high speed, remained the same, and Tang Zheng was getting closer and closer to Cazorla.

That's why the Villarreal players in the centre of the pitch erupted in exclamations that bordered on hysteria.

After reporting for most of the season, they are no strangers to Tang Zheng!

This third-line combat got 20+ double-double data, and he is an absolute dangerous person!

Grosskreutz and Gonzalo battle their wits as they run to the middle lane, and every inch of land will be counted!

Cazorla was chasing back at high speed, and his focus was on filling the hole in the departure of the two centre-backs, so he didn't have time to look back at what was happening behind him.

At this moment, a deafening exclamation suddenly sounded from the stands.

What the heck?

Cazorla's heart 'groaned' and immediately realized that something was wrong!

However, he couldn't help but think about the situation on the field, because Barrios used the center of gravity of his upper body to gain space in the face of Marchena's one-on-one defense, and he swept the ball vigorously towards the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Looking at the football rolling to the top of the arc of the penalty area against the ground, Cazorla had only one thought left - to clear the siege!

As the camera switched to the live broadcaster, Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted, "This is—"

"-Don!"

Cazorla, who was concentrating on preparing to relieve the siege, did not notice Tang Zheng's high-speed approach at all.

Diego López, who was guarding the door, saw it clearly, and when he saw that Cazorla was not a little guarded, he quickly shouted loudly: "Santiago, watch behind you!!"

"Huh?"

The sound produced by the love song stadium was so loud that Cazorla couldn't hear Diego López's words at all, he only saw the other man's expression, as if ...... Very nervous.

Don't?

Thinking of this, Cazorla hurriedly ran in the direction of the football, wanting to clear the siege in advance!

Tang Zheng's two powerful long legs swung very fast, and he couldn't even see the swing of his calves!

Between the lightning and flint, Tang Zheng and Cazorla are neck and neck.

And Cazorla's afterglow also noticed Tang Zheng who appeared in the field of vision.

At this moment, the question was on his mind - how did he run so fast?

However, this question did not think about it for too long in his mind, and with a certain sense of defense, he chose to fall to the ground and put a tackle towards the incoming ball, wanting to complete the tackle.

"It must be successful!" said Garrido, who was standing in the command area of the home team's coach, clenched his fists, his brow oozing with sweat, and muttered in a voice that only he heard.

The result?

Tang Zheng took advantage of his height and long legs to rub the ball with his right foot and toe during the run, and the football was slightly lifted into the air due to obstacles.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Zheng's left toe kicked hard to the ground, and the whole person jumped up.

Cazorla was too late to stretch his feet and trip over the man, because ...... Tang Zheng's jump is to consciously clasp his knees upwards and tighten his feet as much as possible.

It's still the same sentence, the legs hate to be short when you use them!

Cazorla, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, wants to stretch his legs, but Tang Zheng, who is still half a meter away from him, has some difficulties.

※※※

"-It's over!"

Watching Tang Zheng in the camera cross Cazorla's defense, Marcel Leif roared almost madly.

New Wolf Sports commentator Huang Jianxiang was passionate, holding the commentary seat with his left hand, and roaring loudly with his right hand holding the headset: "Tang Zheng picked up the ball before Cazorla finished clearing, single knife!!"

The Valencia TV commentator's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "It's over!!"

"Woo-woo-"

All the home fans at the Love Song Stadium raised their voices hysterically, as if they were dying like seeing the last straw, hoping that their outburst of boos would interfere with Tang Zheng, who had formed a single knife.

Of course, there are also some devout fans who fold their hands and close their eyes and pray to God that God will be with them in this moment!

And the Dortmund fans waved their fists excitedly, and they did not forget to make a huge noise in their mouths to support Tang Zheng.

Villarreal's main goalkeeper, Diego López, dropped the goal.

With a height of 1.96 meters, he covers a wide area, and while attacking, he also consciously spreads his hands and sways from side to side, like a moving octopus.

This move, he has tried it many times in La Liga, and has blocked countless one-knife balls of Qian Feng.

But Tang Zheng didn't eat this move, he noticed Diego López's attack as soon as he landed, so he consciously used his right foot to pick the bottom of the football that fell back to the ground but bounced again.

Tang Zheng didn't have much power to pick the ball, but the effect was very good, and the football instantly jumped high and flew to the top of Diego López's head.

Diego López thought that Tang Zheng would hit the far corner, the near corner, and even between his legs, so he paid special attention to the blocking from these three angles.

As a result, Tang Zheng chose the way he really didn't expect - hanging shooting!

It takes time for the human brain to mobilize its limbs to react.

Even for specially trained professional goalkeepers, their conditioned reflexes require local body cooperation.

Coupled with the fact that the distance between the two is not very far, the reaction time left for Diego López has been reduced by more than half.

By the time Diego López was on tiptoe, jumping, reaching for the ball, and his outstretched right hand didn't even touch the shadow of the football, all he could do was do what the Enlightenment coach said - keep his eyes off the ball.

Villarreal fans who were lucky enough to close their eyes didn't want to see what happened next.

But many things don't happen if you don't want to see them, and the objective facts cannot be changed!

The ball flew past Diego López's outstretched right finger and flew to the highest point before falling into the snow-white net in the far goal.

※※※

Seeing Tang Zheng break through Cazorla, the last barrier in the middle, Marcel Leif had some expectations: "What will Don do?"

It wasn't until Tang Zheng chose to use his right toe to pick under the football that he said frantically: "Pick and shoot!"

After about a second, Marcel Leif raised his arms and shouted, "The ball is in!"

At this time, the frenetic atmosphere of the Love Song Stadium dropped to its lowest point.

Dortmund fans seized the opportunity to show themselves and roared hysterically: "Whoa—"

Listening to the sudden outburst of shouts from the Dortmund fans, Tang Zheng opened his arms and turned a small corner, running towards the corner flag area on the left side of his attack.

He habitually clasped his knees, tensed his instep back, and moved forward on his knees, playing a slippery kneeling celebration.

"It's in!" Huang Jianxiang, a commentator of New Wolf Sports, said excitedly: "This is Tang Zheng's eighth goal in the Europa League this season, and this goal also makes him officially surpass Barrios and become the player with the most goals scored by Dortmund in the Europa League!"

After the on-site director gave Tang Zheng a celebration action, he gave a slow-motion replay of the entire goal, starting from Tang Zheng pulling the ball on the bottom of his feet and turning over, until he picked the ball past Cazorla and scored a goal.

German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti was in high spirits: "This is a typical Down's goal, from the start of the attack to the finish, he did it personally!"

It didn't take long for the live director's footage to show Klopp in the area where the away team's coach commanded.

He once again showed his wild side to the fans, and his trademark combination made the visiting Dortmund even more domineering.

After almost ten seconds of buffer time, Marcel Leif slowed down a bit, saying: "In the nineteenth minute of the game, Don's goal helped Dortmund break the deadlock, I think...... The home team is going to have a big hard time!"

In fact, it's not much different.

Due to Dortmund's counter-attacking goal, Cazorla followed the estimated defense and did not have time to participate in the attack.

You must know that Villarreal's attacking spirit is completely derived from Cazorla, and his excessive focus on defense directly leads to the lack of aura and aggression in the home team's attack.

The pressure on centre-back Musacchio is mounting, especially when Dortmund are awarded set-pieces and corners, and Tang Zheng's horror is even more difficult to defend than it was at River Plate three years ago.

Strength, skill, and more!

Villarreal coach Garrido has a headache, and he now wants to strengthen the attack but does not dare.

Dortmund's quick counterattack made him jealous, but if he didn't step up his attack and let Dortmund get used to the current rhythm, then this game would be really difficult to play.

In other words, it will be more difficult to go further in this season's Europa League......

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp was happy at this time and returned to the dugout, as if the game had nothing to do with him.
