In the second half, neither side made any adjustments to the players in the first half. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"With the referee's whistle, the second half of the 2010-2011 Europa League final officially began!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at Tang Zheng who suddenly appeared in the broadcast camera, and was excited: "Beautiful! Tang Zheng, Shaheen and Kuba's sudden up-and-down caused Aima Aimar to make a passing error. ”

Dortmund were even more aggressive in the second half, pressing Benfica high in the opening minutes, so much so that experienced players like Aimar struggled to get used to it.

Control of the ball changed hands, and Dortmund grabbed the ball in less than ten seconds of the second half and organized the attack.

Fortunately, the Benfica players did not press too hard at this time, and the defense ended in a foul by Coentrão.

Borussia Dortmund's direct free-kick from the right did not result in an effective shot on goal, and Benfica switched from defending to attacking.

Gaitan and Saviola switched positions, Schmelzer was a little uncomfortable, the previous Saviola chose to cross more from the wing, while Gaitan can cut inside, or go down to the bottom to kick the ball back and then cross.

Jesús wanted the attacking tactics of the first ten minutes of the second half to be played, and the first shot of the second half that hit the range of the goal was Gaitan's sudden right-footed kickback after completing the breakthrough, and a direct left-footed cross was formed, and Paraguayan centre-forward Cardoso pressed the ill-prepared Hummels to complete the header.

"Beautiful!" said the Portuguese commentator excitedly: "This is the attack that Benfica should have!

The Portuguese legend Eusebio, who was sitting in the VIP seat, nodded, although this wave of attack just now was not the ground transmission that Benfica is used to, but Jesús's flexible tactical adjustment made his eyes light up.

Immediately, he looked at Gaitan, who had delivered a great cross, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Yes, a good player." ”

However, Dortmund's attack was also a little different from the first half, and Shinji Kagawa, who almost disappeared in the first half, frequently came to the middle of the court to share the pressure of Tang Zheng's playmaking attack like Gotze.

Shinji Kagawa, who has a strong sense of passing and cutting, is like a fish in water, and while Benfica's attack has improved, Dortmund's usual tactics this season have also been played.

The Japanese commentator praised Kagawa's performance in the second half, saying that it was a dance of eyebrows, and almost said that Kagawa Shinji was the best player at Dortmund this season.

The two sides attacked and defended each other, but because the troops invested were not very large, there was no threat to the goalkeeper's attack, and the game entered a stalemate.

Sky England commentator Andy Grey has a wealth of experience in watching the game, and he has this to say: "If this form continues, the goal can only be scored by luck, like the one in the first half. ”

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed in the second half, and although the two sides attacked, they lacked the goal.

Jurgen Klopp glanced around at the bench and saw that there were no players other than Gotze who had the ability to change the occupancy.

It was only then that he realized that the depth of the team's squad was not enough.

Borussia Dortmund will return to the Champions League next season and will have to have more depth on the bench if they want to go further.

In a voice that only he could hear, he said, "It seems that I should go to Michelle's office and sit down when I have time." ”

During the period when Klopp's fugue was too empty, the two sides of the game switched between attack and defense, and Dortmund switched from defense to attack.

This time, Benfica's defense was a little different, they maintained the speed of the retreat while sending a single man to limit Tang Zheng's activities during the transition from attack to defense.

Tang Zheng had no surprise at Garcia's marking, but ignored Garcia's presence and motioned to Shaheen to pass the ball over.

The football rolled towards Tang Zheng, Garcia was instantly nervous, but Tang Zheng had no intention of stopping the ball, but stuck in position, and then arched his left foot with his left foot to the right rear end with his back to Kagawa Shinji.

Benfica right-back Amaury saw that the football was at the feet of Shinji Kagawa, and instead of continuing to run back, he suddenly pressed forward.

Shinji Kagawa and Tang Zheng's cooperation is naturally far inferior to that of Grosskreutz and Shahin, after all, they have too little time to play together and lack a sense of tacit understanding.

So Shinji Kagawa was a little unprepared for Tang Zheng's pass, and his stop on the side was a little too big.

Originally, he only needed to put the ball well, and then send the ball to Tang Zheng, who was close to Garcia to complete the turn, to form a beautiful two-by-two.

However, Shinji Kagawa's stop was too big, causing him to have to run back one more step to control the ball.

"It's a bit of an amateur pass. Yang 5 commentator He Wei said categorically.

Amaury, who was staring at Shinji Kagawa, had his eyes lit up and rushed towards Shinji Kagawa like a cheetah.

Amaury's arrival was too sudden, Kagawa Shinji was unexpected, it was too late to get into the position, and the football was stabbed by Amaury's outstretched foot behind him!

Shinji Kagawa, who was cut off from behind Amaury, stopped in place and raised his hand to complain to the referee about the foul, but the referee ignored it.

Schmelzer reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the Gaitan shirt, which was about to turn around and run behind him.

Amaury could only pass the football to Garcia, who was left behind by Tang Zheng, who was marking Tang Zheng forward.

However, this pass is the most suitable Benfica player on the field at the moment to receive the ball.

Tang Zheng did not complain to the referee like Shinji Kagawa, he rolled towards Garcia with the football to complete the turn, and then rushed out like a wild horse and caught up with Garcia.

He saw the timing behind Garcia on the right and kept the ball in place with a very precise tackle.

Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif shouted: "Beautiful tackle!"

"Beep~"

But the referee blew the whistle and signaled that Tang Zheng had committed a foul.

As soon as he heard the whistle, Tang Zheng thought it was a wild whistle from the stands, so when he got up, he was ready to launch a horn to counterattack.

Seize the counterattack of the opponent's counterattack, but it is the best time to score!

However, the referee blew the whistle continuously.

In other words, Tang Zheng really fouled.

The referee's penalty made Tang Zheng very incomprehensible, his tackle was obviously clean, why did he foul?

So he turned to face the referee and defended himself with his hands outstretched: "My tackle was very beautiful, as you can see from the linesman's lack of flag, because his angle is better suited to judging my defensive movements......"

Just as Tang Zheng was struggling to argue, Garcia, who was still sitting on the ground just now, got up quickly.

"Don't let him take a free kick!"

Kyle's sudden shouting served as a reminder, and Tang Zheng gave up arguing with the referee, and he pounced on Garcia.

The result?

It's still late.

Garcia pressed the ball to the spot to form a dead ball and went straight to the right flank, where it was Gaitan, who had picked up a bit in the second half.

"Hell!"

Tang Zheng was more than ten meters away from Gaitan, and it was obviously unrealistic to defend in person, so he chose to run to the middle.

※※※

When Tang Zheng passed the ball to Shinji Kagawa, Dortmund was in a state of attacking from defense, and the midfielders were all running forward.

Shinji Kagawa lost the ball, and the Dortmund players were nervous.

But when Tang Zheng fell to the ground and slid to break the ball again, they stopped again and slowly moved forward.

Even when the referee blew the whistle, the Dortmund players didn't come back quickly, believing that Benfica would make good use of the set-piece, which was in a decent position.

At the end of the day, it's still stuck in habitual thinking.

The football was at Gaitan's feet, and there were only three defenders near the Dortmund penalty area: Kehl, Subotic and Hummels.

Benfica have centre-forward Cardoso and Gaitan with the ball.

Two to three, there is still a lot of hope!

Especially this attack is very sudden, Dortmund's defenders are not ready, the position is disorderly, full of holes!

"Whew-"

So the Benfica fans who were present erupted in huge cheers, looking forward to the team's attack.

The Dortmund fans booed wildly and sent it to the referee on duty - in their eyes, Tang Zheng's tackle was very beautiful.

After receiving the ball, Gaitan quickly shook off Schmelzer, who had just turned, and left central defender Subotic had to pull out to defend.

Hummels defended Cardoso alone, and captain Kyle was ready to help defend Subotic.

Gaitan is very good at his feet and skilled at his feet, and Kyle is afraid that Subotic will be shaken.

Sure enough!

Subotic was shaken off by a feint by Gaitan breaking through the baseline while fighting and retreating, and Kyle's role was revealed, and he was in front of Gaitan again.

With being in the box, Kyle didn't dare to make much of a move, and he waited for Subotic to strike.

However, Gaitan did not give him this opportunity.

About thirteen yards from goal on the right side of the penalty area, Gaitan glanced up and then suddenly picked up his left foot.

Out of defensive instinct, Kyle put a tackle in the end to expand the defensive area.

But Gaitan lifted his left foot just to confuse him, and he quickly lowered his left foot and lifted the ball up with his toes, ready to pass Kyle before hitting the goal.

But Kyle is tall and has a lot of inertia, and Gaitan can't dodge it.

The referee's whistle sounded, and his left index finger pointed to the penalty spot.

"The referee blows the whistle, it's a penalty!"

"Oh-My-God!! is not good news for Dortmund. ”

"The referee seems to have the intention of pulling out the cards, you know...... Sebastian Kyle has already been shown a yellow card. ”

Moreover, his right hand was still in his trouser pocket.

This is......

The action of digging cards!

Kyle didn't get up agitated and protested loudly, he did kick Gaitan.

It wasn't until he saw the referee pulling a card out of his trouser pocket that he stood up excitedly.

However, Tang Zheng was one step ahead of Kyle, he surrounded the referee and complained loudly in English: "Dear Mr. Referee, I think you should first judge whether my previous tackle constitutes a foul, I can be 100% sure that there is absolutely no foul! You can't let the mistake continue!"

The referee ignored Tang Zheng's appeal, but insisted on taking out a yellow card.

At the same time, Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines and waved his arms angrily, then rushed to the fourth official to complain about the referee's decision: "Don's tackle just now was very beautiful! There was no foul at all! So Benfica's counter-attack was not valid!"

"The referee must have had his basis for the decision, but ...... I advise you to calm down, otherwise the referee won't come and talk to you like I did. The fourth official said with a shrug of his shoulders.

On the pitch, Gaitan, who saw the referee pointing to the penalty, raised his arms excitedly.

The other players were similar, some running towards Gaitan, while others approached the ground and hugged their nearby teammates in celebration.

Only the Dortmund players surrounded the referee, and they did not deny Kele's foul, but whether Tang Zheng's tackle before really constituted a foul.

In the end, the referee showed a yellow card to Tang Zheng, who was the most excited, as a warning when there was no way.

Tang Zheng, who wanted to say something, was suddenly pushed away by the captain Kyle, and Hummels directly dragged Tang Zheng's neck: "You can't be impulsive anymore, otherwise we will finish!"

The referee showed a yellow card to Tang Zheng, and then showed a yellow card to captain Kyle.

He then took out another red card and pointed to Kyle, then pointed his finger off the field.

Penalty and red card!

It's a disaster!

Seeing this penalty, Klopp, who had just calmed down, pulled the fourth official again and protested loudly: "We can count the foul on Don, and we can also count the penalty to Benfica, but why give another yellow card when my player still has a yellow card? This is unfair!"

The fourth officer continued to shrug his shoulders, but this time he did not speak, but gave a helpless expression.

It stands to reason that given how exciting the final is, any foul that is not particularly serious should be treated with caution.

Just like in the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa, many people said that the Briton Webber was too loose for a foul on Frenkie de Jong, but if you take into account the excitement of the game, the level of balance is also a must for the referee.

Therefore, in the case of a foul by Kyle, the referee should be thoughtful.

"Woo-woo-"

The Dortmund fans in the stands erupted in hysteria and booed loudly, which was sent to the referee on duty.

Benfica fans danced with excitement.

Penalties were the closest way to scoring, and Borussia Dortmund had one man less.

The future of the game seems to be beckoning Benfica.

"This referee level is rubbish. Tang Zheng spat out angrily.

Fortunately, the atmosphere at this time was frenzied, and the momentum that erupted was so loud that the referee couldn't hear Tang Zheng's scolding at all.

As soon as the words fell, Tang Zheng felt that someone pulled his left arm.

He turned his head to see that it was the captain Kyle who put the captain's armband in his hand on his left arm, and he was serious.

After Kyle put the captain's armband on, he patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder: "Don, the game depends on you." ”

After that, he walked to the field without looking back, the players' tunnel.

At this point, the decision became settled, and the Dortmund players no longer appealed to the referee and chose to accept it.

In the 63rd minute, Benfica were awarded a penalty and had one more man on the pitch.

The 2010-2011 Europa League final took a major turn because of this decision!

The commentators on the scene commented on the referee's decision differently, some thought that the penalty existed, but the yellow card should not be given, and some said that Tang Zheng's previous tackle was very beautiful and there was no foul, and the next game was invalid......
