Due to the limited strength of the opponent, manager Pep Guardiola did not ask his players to deepen their tactics in the evening, but gave everyone plenty of freedom.
Of course, the players have to be abstinent, otherwise tomorrow night's game is likely to be insufficient.
Messi did a good job of this, choosing to watch the Champions League game alone in his room.
He remembers a big game tonight, with rivals Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund going head-to-head at the Westphalia Stadium.
There is nothing special about Real Madrid Messi, with the two teams playing at least two national derbies every season.
Borussia Dortmund has given Messi some headaches, and he still holds a not-so-glorious record - zero breakthrough success against Tang Zheng.
He wants to see if Cristiano Ronaldo will suffer the same for tonight's game.
Throughout the first half, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo did not communicate with each other except for corner kick attack/defense and set-piece attack/defense due to the position of the game.
It wasn't until the second half that the tactics of the two sides changed and the two of them had their first direct confrontation.
Cristiano Ronaldo's simple change of center of gravity in the huge LCD screen was pierced by Tang Zheng's eyes, and he stretched his leg quickly and broke off the football.
Messi looked at the close-up shot that was pushed to his face, and Cristiano Ronaldo's face was ugly, and he said to himself playfully: "You want to shake Tang with such a simple action?
After a while, Cristiano Ronaldo accelerated to break through Pirlo, who was on the defensive back, and then rushed to Tang Zheng, who was defending the right rib.
Messi, who was sitting on the luxurious sofa, even became serious in his sitting posture, his eyes fixed on the picture, for fear of missing a single detail.
In fact, he was right to be prepared, because the next scene left him dumbfounded, and he didn't even see the crotch piercing in the back.
It took about five seconds for Messi to exclaim, "Oh-My-God!!"
At the same time, he also followed the meditation - if he made such a defensive move, would he be able to break through Tang Zheng?
The conclusion was that it was not known.
I don't know the bottom of my heart!
The broadcaster gave a slow-motion replay of the whole process, Tang Zheng treated him in the same way, Messi shook his head and smiled bitterly, sympathizing with Cristiano Ronaldo's foul.
As one of the most eye-catching stars on the planet, in the face of Tang Zheng's continuous breakthroughs, he must have mixed feelings.
Indeed, Cristiano Ronaldo at Westphalia Stadium was in mixed moods, with his hands on his hips and shaking his head repeatedly.
Two consecutive breakthroughs were fruitless, which dealt a big blow to his self-confidence.
The game resumed, and when it was Real Madrid's turn to switch from defense to attack, Cristiano Ronaldo saw Tang Zheng coming over to assist in defense, no longer limited to controlling the ball, but passing the ball.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei smiled: "It seems that Ronaldo's self-confidence has been hit a lot, and the next game is good!"
At the same time, Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho frowned.
Cristiano Ronaldo has become less confident, not only personally, but also on the team as a whole.
Since arriving at Real Madrid in the summer of 2009, he has been the team's top scorer.
The top scorer loses self-confidence and spreads to the rest of the team like a contagious disease.
※※※
The Dortmund fans at the Westfara Stadium were very happy and they were making waves of noise.
The home team's players were motivated by them to become more and more engaged, and the attack was higher and higher.
Jose Mourinho realised it was time for the team to make personnel changes, otherwise it would be a matter of time before the team conceded goals.
But for whom?
Kaka is not in good shape, so it is better to keep Ozil.
Di Maria has been on a hot streak of late and can stay on the pitch as well.
Then only Benzema, who is at the front, can be replaced.
But a new problem arises.
Higuain and Benzema are two types of strikers, Higuain is more inclined to score points in the penalty area, Benzema has a comprehensive style of play, and the away team is restricted as a whole, so replacing Higuain may not be a good adjustment.
It was at this moment that Dortmund launched a wave of offensive.
There was a clear switch of positions in the frontcourt, with Tang Zheng coming to the right, Gotze in the middle and Reus on the left.
After a multi-foot pass, the football came to the feet of Tang Zheng, who was attacking on the right side.
The passing speed is very fast and basically does not stop, so Real Madrid's back line is still in a state of overall tilt to the left, Tang Zheng knows that in this situation, he would rather complete the last pass quickly than wait for his teammates to support.
Real Madrid is different from other teams in that their defensive system emphasizes the whole.
Tang Zheng stepped on the ball with his right foot, and Essien kept a safe distance and waited for Xavi Alonso and Mesut Ozil to help.
At the same time, Tang Zheng raised his left arm and clenched it into a fist, only his thumb and tail finger were extended.
This is the tactical code formulated by Tang Zheng and his teammates before the game.
Immediately, Lewandowski had a forward acceleration and Varane and Pepe were nervous.
Tang Zheng didn't pass the ball directly, his right foot arch pushed directly to the receiving Gotze, and then suddenly accelerated to run towards the defensive ribs between Essien and Pepe.
It was obvious that the two-on-one cooperation, and Essien, who was very experienced in the game, immediately realized it, so he ran back desperately.
In addition, left centre-back Pepe also has a small move to cover the left flank.
However, Gotze's through ball was not as conducive to Tang Zheng's acceleration as the Real Madrid backline imagined, on the contrary, the power was very light.
Tang Zheng suddenly stopped on the spot, stretched out his right foot and stopped the ball back.
The sudden change in rhythm instantly relaxed the tense mentality of the Real Madrid backline.
Tang Zheng's football was parked in a position that was completely unfavorable for his instep pass, so Real Madrid's entire backline was completely relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Zheng picked up his right foot on the spot and kicked the football with the outside instep.
The concealment of the outside instep is very strong, and before touching the ball, the Real Madrid players thought that Tang Zheng was going to pass the ball to the top of the arc of the big penalty area or return it to Gotze.
It wasn't until the football had an obvious inside-out arc that they realized that they had been deceived by Tang Zheng.
Young Vala was shocked and quickly turned around to find someone.
When he saw Lewandowski getting closer to his own baseline, he didn't defend back, but raised his right arm high to signal that the opponent was offside.
However, the assistant referee was unmoved, and the sideline flag was raised, which was tantamount to explaining that the goal was not offside.
Goalkeeper Casillas did not complain as Varane did, and he chose to abandon the goal as soon as possible.
But Tang Zheng's outside instep pass was very good, Lewandowski didn't need to make any adjustments, he looked at the direction of Casillas's attack, and very cleverly used his forehead to put it in the opposite direction.
Casillas' reaction took time due to the proximity of the distance, and he reached out without touching the football, which crashed into the far net......
※※※
"Tang Zheng accelerated! Huh, stop in place, pass ...... Tang Hai can only pass the ball with the outside instep, not offside!Lewandowski!Header on goal!The ball scores!!The ball scores!Dortmund leads again at home!2:1!A direct assist from Tang Zheng!
Yang 5 commentator He Wei was very excited.
"Whew-"
At the same time, the Westfalfa Stadium instantly boiled and resounded with deafening shouts.
Lewandowski, who scored the goal, raised his arms and shouted, venting the huge pressure brought by the outside world.
As the team's leading striker, Lewandowski is under great pressure, and has not scored a goal in two Champions League games this season, and Dortmund's sluggish away performance this season is not only the reason for Tang Zheng, but also the lack of away strength from the leading striker, after all, Tang Zheng is a midfielder rather than a striker.
The whole stadium was boiling, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho believed that the team had no choice, and it was urgent to replace Higuain, who was a stronger threat in the box.
The live broadcast camera was shown to the home team's coach's command area, and Klopp in the camera unleashed his trademark combination to relieve the pressure of the goal.
Immediately, the camera showed Tang Zheng, the captain on the field, who raised his arms and hugged his excited teammates one by one to celebrate the goal.
Tang Zheng did not score, but contributed two assists in this game, which was a great contribution.
Both assists were unconventional, the first with a flower foot and the second with an outside instep.
German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was not shy about his praise: "Robert Lewandowski is not offside in slow motion, which shows how well Don has timed his passes, he has once again proved himself against strong opponents in Dortmund, and at this moment, he is an absolute superstar! Cristiano Ronaldo, Casillas, Xavi Alonso are all eclipsed!"
At this time, Tang Zheng under the strong light is like a layer of holy light, how dazzling it is.
Cristiano Ronaldo crossed his hands on his hips, biting the corner of his shirt, his brows were tightly locked, his face was full of sadness, and he was very unconvinced.
How can he be inferior to Tang Zheng, who was born in the football desert in terms of performance?
No way!
Make a name for yourself!
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes rekindled a blazing fire, that is the fighting spirit of never admitting defeat!
Before the game restarted, Real Madrid called for a substitution, and No. 20 Higuain came on to replace No. 9 Benzema.
This adjustment signal is obvious, minus the unnecessary cumbersome process in the middle, and if there is a ball, go directly to Higuain or Cristiano Ronaldo in the box.
A minute later, the home team Borussia Dortmund called for a substitution.
Kuba replaced Sven Bender, Tang Zheng returned to the central midfield position to partner Andrea Pirlo, Gotze took a central position, Reus switched to the left, and Cooper moved to his familiar right.
Klopp thinks that since Mourinho chose to attack, he simply let Tang Zheng return to the back position, and the two wings used pure speed Marrois and Kuba to play defensive counterattacks.
Tang Zheng and Pirlo's double midfielder partnership has defensive toughness and the ability to counterattack long passes
Even in terms of technical content, it is higher than Real Madrid's midfield line.
