'I know not many people are optimistic about our road trip, but football is round, anything can happen and we were able to equalise at home with one man less, so why can't we win the game with eleven men on eleven?'

In the huge LCD screen, Isco, who participated in the regular press conference before the game, spoke catchy to reporters' questions, as if he were an endorsement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, the expression and momentum are still very prominent.

Tang Zheng shook his head with a smile, and said secretly in his heart, want to turn the tables in Westfalun?

Kids, you're still a little tender.

At 6 p.m. local time in Germany, almost three hours before the start of the second leg of the 2012-2013 Champions League quarter-finals, the square next to the Westphalun Stadium was already packed.

Dortmund fans in yellow and black striped shirts gathered in twos and threes, shoulder to shoulder, singing the team anthem.

There are also crowds of fans holding banners, slogans, and even some fanatical Dortmund fans singing "Song of the Don", a regular song that fans often sing this season when Dortmund is in trouble.

The song is catchy and can be learned as soon as you learn it, so there are often groups of fans who join the singing team.

Among these fans, there are Chinese compatriots or ethnic Chinese who work and study in Europe to join the singing team and cheer for Tang Zheng together.

Today, with Tang Zheng's great success in Dortmund, the number of reporters dispatched by the Chinese domestic media is increasing, and almost 90% of the Eastern face reporters who appear in Dortmund are Chinese.

In addition to paying attention to Tang Zheng in Dortmund, the domestic media stationed reporters in Dortmund are only 40 kilometers away from Schalke 04, where Hao Junmin is located, and it is very convenient to go back and forth, so there are often reporters from China who watch Tang Zheng's football match in Westphazard, and then immediately go to the Felttings Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

Getting back to business, Dortmund fans with annual passes for the South Stand were able to enter the stadium first and set up the stands.

Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 draw away to Malaga in the first leg brought a lot of uncertainty to the second leg, so the fans in the South Stand felt they had to do something for the team.

With about 90 minutes to go before the game, Dortmund and Malaga took buses to the designated parking spots at the Lun Stadium in Westfa.

In front of the dedicated passage to the home team's dressing room, the crowd of fervent Dortmund fans was already crowded.

To be exact, they were fans who didn't have tickets to get in, so meeting the players before the game was the most they wanted to do.

"Whew-"

The number of fans is small, but it can create a shouting that is almost a tsunami.

The members of the Dortmund coaching staff and players who lined up to get off the bus waved to the enthusiastic fans and thanked them for their support.

"Eh~Don!!"

When Tang Zheng stepped out of the bus, a large number of Dortmund fans chanted Tang Zheng's surname.

Tang Zheng turned his head to see a group of fans holding up posters and banners about him, so he smiled and gave the fans a thumbs up to show his gratitude.

At this time, the fans who were surrounded by the security personnel of Westphaladen Lun Stadium suddenly pulled Tang Zheng's arm and said quickly: "Eh, Tang, can you lead us to victory?"

The security personnel originally wanted to push away the enthusiastic fans, but when they heard such a topic, they would inevitably pause and wait for Tang Zheng's answer.

At the same time, Tang Zheng turned his head to look at the enthusiastic young fan, who looked very young and looked like a high school student, he reached out and patted the young fan's right shoulder: "Remember, we are not only pursuing victory, but also championships!"

Suddenly, everyone who heard this was stunned.

When the young fan, security personnel and other fans reacted, Tang Zheng only left them with a back and a thumbs up.

Although it was only the back, they could still feel Tang Zheng's strong confidence.

Champion, why not?

※※※

Before entering the home team's dressing room, Hummels suddenly reached out and put his hand on Tang Zheng's right shoulder.

Tang Zheng turned his head and saw that Hummels had a complicated expression and seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked, "Ma'er, what's wrong?"

"Champion......?"

"What champion? Tang Zheng gave a roll of his eyes, and then reached out to touch Hummels's forehead: "League champion? It's Champions League time for my horse, you shouldn't have a fever, right?"

"No, I just wanted to ask you what you just said to the fans, Champions League winners. Hummels finally spoke.

"That's what you say. Tang Zheng put his backhand on Hummels' arm: "Since they have all entered the Champions League quarterfinals, the semifinals are just around the corner, why not?"

Why not?

That's right!

Suddenly, Hummels' eyes lit up.

On the eve of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, players from both sides faced the main stands, and the live broadcast played the exciting Champions League theme song "Champions-League".

At the same time, UEFA staff struggled to shake the five-star logo canvas of the Champions League covering the entire center circle in their hands.

In the South Stand, a cartoon character wearing the Dortmund crest slowly rises with a coercive tightrope, showing its white teeth, raising a proud arc at the corners of its mouth, and then holding a telescope to look down at the five-star logo of the Champions League in the center of the stadium.

The live director switched to a long shot, and while seeing the players from both sides, he could also see the five-star logo of the Champions League in the center of the stadium and the TIFO show in the south stand.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei suddenly exclaimed: "The Signal Park Stadium was once the most terrifying devil's stadium in Europe, and now the South Stand, which is the core position, has once again shown itself, and they have supported their team with their own actions. ”

Although this landscape was not the first time it had appeared at Westfalfa Stadium, it still attracted Tang Zheng's attention, and he turned his head to look.

Listening to the Champions League theme song is already boiling with blood, and after seeing the South Stand recreate "walking on the road to find the lost Champions League trophy", it looks like the fighting spirit is high, and I can't wait for the game to start right away and kill the game.

Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, had a slight fluctuation in his feelings, but as he spoke, his tone became excited: "Malaga from afar, are you scared? This is the most prestigious Iduna Signal Park stadium in the whole of Europe, tremble!"

The Spanish national television commentator seemed to feel the uneasiness coming from inside the stadium, frowning and saying: "For Malaga, this game is not destined to be easy ......"

"Beep~"

Not long after, with the whistle of Scottish referee Thomson, the second leg of the 2012-2013 Champions League quarter-finals was announced.

Borussia Dortmund kicked off first, Lewandowski kicked the ball at his feet to Reuss, who kept the ball and passed it back to Tang Zheng, the captain of the field outside the arc of the center circle, and the overall formation slowly dispersed.

Borussia Dortmund at home have made a change in their squad from the first leg, with the quicker Kuba replacing Gotze.

With a goal on the road, Dortmund didn't start out so strategic, but controlled the tempo of the game through the midfield's superior possession of the ball.

Pellegrini thought before the game that Dortmund would dominate possession at home, so the visiting Málaga was very sensible and defensive-oriented, especially in the 30-meter defensive area, and the players were very closely connected.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the broadcasters gave the match a percentage of possession, with Dortmund holding a 68 per cent lead over Málaga's 32 per cent.

Despite this, there are only a handful of hits to the core.

Or it is difficult to get into the 30-metre zone to organise an attack, because Malaga's defensive system is very closely linked and interlocked.

Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, and he is naturally the most crucial part of Malaga's midfield defense.

In addition to French defender Tulalang always paying attention to Tang Zheng, there are also Duda and Ignacio Camacho around to assist in defense.

The Malaga players were very restrictive to Tang Zheng.

How high?

He didn't even give the ball with his back to him.

It is equivalent to saying that five minutes before the game, Tang Zheng was invisible.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up.

Tang Zheng in the camera did not show any surprise, he had already thought of this possibility before the game.

In the first leg at the Rose Garden, Manuel Pellegrini was more tactically and defensively more holistic, and there will certainly be a break in the second leg.

Sure enough!

Man-to-man defense + zone co-defense.

In the blink of an eye, the game entered ten minutes, and Tang Zheng was still in a state of disappearing as before, but he was not discouraged, and he was still happy to run in a wide range.

The game is 11 against 11, and 10 against 10 minus the goalkeeper.

Too many defenders pay attention to Tang Zheng, does it mean that other players are in a state of laxity?

Indeed, but Klopp made adjustments to individual positions in this game, and Kuba replaced Gotze, which is equivalent to saying that the frontcourt attack has to rely more on Tang Zheng.

However, now that Tang Zheng is on the radar of a 'massive' Málaga defender, he is more focused on running wide, and the attack can only rely on two wings.

Demichelis is experienced and Sergio Sanchez is a good point-grabbing player, and Lewandowski will struggle to find a chance with the two of them working together.

Before the game, Klopp chose to replace Gotze with Kuba, considering that Kuba and Lewandowski are teammates in the national team and have a certain tacit understanding, but ...... Ten minutes into the game, no results have been received.

However, Tang Zheng, who was closely guarded in the first ten minutes, had a surprise, and he finally observed a fatal hole in the Malaga defense during his frequent runs.

Tulalang's man-to-man defense against Tang Zheng is limited to a 40-meter area, which is equivalent to saying that Pellegrini considered Tang Zheng's metamorphosis and chose to reduce Tulalang's physical consumption as much as possible.

The defensive strategy that should have been the finishing touch was full of holes in Tang Zheng's eyes.

Tulalang is one of Malaga's most defensive-minded midfielders, while Ignacio Camacho has little experience and is not particularly positional.

Once Gundogan or Andrea Pirlo are directly involved in the attack, Ignacio Camacho will certainly be exposed.

※※※

In the thirteenth minute, Isco received a return ball from Baptista, shook off Pirlo and fired a direct long-range shot.

The shooting power was great, but unfortunately the crosshair was not adjusted well, and the anti-aircraft gun was placed.

Málaga's attack was directed at the South Stand of the Westphalun Stadium, so there was deafening laughter from the scene after the anti-aircraft guns were fired.

In this way, the home fans mocked the incompetence of Isco, the winner of the new European Golden Boy Award.

Looking to win at Westfal Stadium?

Adjust your crosshairs!

The laughter of nearly 80,000 home fans was deafening, Isco frowned, his fists naturally clenched, and he was very unhappy, but helpless.

This feeling is very aggrieved.

"Isco attended the regular press conference before the game, but vowed to lead Malaga to beat Borussia Dortmund to qualify for the last four of this season's Champions League, but judging from his performance, he was very ......"

German TV 2 commentator Michael Rety laughs.

At the same time, Tang Zheng took advantage of the time between Weidenfeller's goal kicks to pull Gundogan and Pirlo respectively.

Due to time constraints, Tang Zheng made a long story short.

For Tang Zheng's suggestion, Pirlo and Gundogan both frowned, but Tang Zheng patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will fill your position in time." ”

Tang Zheng's sense of filling positions and defensive ability are obvious to all.

Gundogan thought about it, but he had no opinion.

Immediately, Pirlo also tapped his chin and added: "I won't go up, I'll plug it in after Ilkai." ”

Gundogan was good at attacking before joining Dortmund, and with the full development of Tang Zheng's offensive ability, Gundogan, who is slightly lacking in overall ability but has a certain defensive ability, plays more defensive midfielders.

Now that Pirlo has taken the initiative to take on the defensive responsibility, Gundogan nodded excitedly.

Tang Zheng patted Gundogan and Pirlo on the shoulders respectively to express his gratitude for their support.

Klopp is full of interest in Tang Zheng pulling Gundogan and Pirlo, according to past conventions, Tang Zheng, who was heavily defended by the other side, must have some details of the division of labor with Gundogan and Pirlo.

How is the division of labor?

Klopp didn't know, but he had a strong hunch.

There will definitely be surprises in the next attack.

Klopp saw this scene, and Pellegrini, who was standing at the edge of the coach's command area of the visiting team, also saw it, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tang Zheng's gourd.

Taking advantage of the fact that Weidenfeller had not yet kicked the goal, he asked left-back Antunes to convey the latest tactics to Tulalang, asking him to be optimistic about Tang Zheng.

After receiving the head coach's key advice, Tulalang held his breath, paying more attention to Tang Zheng's regional activities than in the past.

As a veteran, he knew what the manager must have found on the sidelines......

Soon, Tang Zheng kept the ball back to Gundogan in the attacking 30-meter area with his back to the goal, and then recycled the position.

Tulalang did not hesitate at all, staring at Tang Zheng.

As a result, Tang Zheng held the ball in the offensive 35-meter area and the 40-meter area respectively to participate in his own offensive tandem work.

Tulalang hesitated, but remembered the manager's important advice through Antunes, and followed along.

Fans at the scene can see that Tang Zheng is on the same level as Pirlo, and Gundogan's position has an obvious premise.

In addition, both Royce and Coopa have two ribs.

Seeing this, Klopp's eyes lit up.

This...... This was the most common ...... Pirlo used before he joined Rogue tactics.
