'Leao is in a very bad situation right now and he should be working with his team-mates rather than breaking through individually. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As Tang Zheng found his defensive sense, the tone of the Catalan TV commentator became more and more muffled: "Dortmund's possession ability is very good, so it is normal to affect the overall quality of Barcelona's attack. ”

Coach Pep Guardiola thought about it for a long time and took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to shout a loud reminder to Messi to signal him to calm down.

Messi nodded on the surface to indicate that he knew, but the next handling of the ball still made Guardiola shake his head and smile bitterly.

With two Champions League tribulations in 2008-2009 and 2010-2011, Pep Guardiola feels that the team is now missing the same level of ambition that it once had, meaning that many players are no longer hungry for glory.

In fact, it's right to think about it, this Barcelona Spain international is a winner in life.

There are beautiful wives at home, parents are alive, and children are lovely.

Win the league, Copa del Rey, Champions League, European Cup, World Cup.

Oh yes, and the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

They have won all the titles that a professional footballer can only dream of.

It is also the fact that he has won all the championships, which has caused many players to no longer fight as hard as before.

Players are no longer hungry for glory, how can they move?

And now Barcelona is more and more dependent on Messi, this season's Champions League group stage is not obvious because of the strength of the opponent, but in the knockout stage, it is more and more obvious.

The first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals lost 0:2 away to AC Milan, and the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 finals drew 2:2 away to Paris Saint-Germain and drew 1:1 at home.

Through these three games, it is not difficult to see that once Messi is not in shape, the whole team will become sluggish and do not know how to play.

"Whoa—"

The frenetic atmosphere at the Westphalia Lun Stadium continued, with the Dortmund fans in the stands cheering one after another.

A quarter of an hour into the game, Dortmund restricts Messi as Tang Zheng retreats defensively, and they gradually grasp the initiative under the cheers of the home fans.

Although Andrea Pirlo missed the rest of the season due to injury, the midfield combination of Tang Zheng and Gundogan was still in control of the tempo.

Barcelona's midfielder Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Andres Iniesta are not the kind of players who are very good at defending, and they rely more on protecting each other and defending as a whole, limiting Dortmund's attacking space.

Barcelona never had to think about defense in the past, because they are used to attacking instead of defending and pressing high posts, and any team will give priority to defending and counter-attacking when they encounter them, which also gives Barcelona too many opportunities to possess the ball and observe the holes in the opponent's defense.

However, as Xavi ages and the mentality of the players changes, the unbeatable Barcelona team no longer seems to be sharp.

Coupled with the fact that Dortmund's players are mainly young players, they have super running ability and not weak foot ability, so that Barcelona's proud Tiki-Taka can't exert the power it deserves.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said: "Barcelona's away results in the Champions League this season are very bad, only one win in the five away games from the group stage to the knockout stage, three draws, one loss, the reference value of the group stage games is not high, compared to Dortmund's knockout three wins and one draw, Barcelona one win, two draws and one loss are too much inferior, and Dortmund is the only unbeaten team in the Champions League this season, so ...... Barcelona is in trouble. ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Zheng received a whimsical cross pass from Royce thirty meters away, and shot directly with his feet!

It was too late for Busque to see the pass and then try to block it, and the ball flew towards the goal with a strong whistling sound, and then flew off the bottom line on the outside of the right post.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

The next moment, the Westphalic Lun Stadium resounded with a deafening loud cry of regret.

Tang Zheng himself held his head with his hands even more regretfully, and then picked up the somewhat messy bangs in front of his forehead.

※※※

"Long shot!oh—it's a pity!" Marcel Leif changed his voice and shouted, "Don is in such good shape!"

Two minutes later, Tang Zheng took advantage of a corner kick to beat Pique and Baltra and smashed the ball on the crossbar, making a crisp collision sound, so that the Westfal Stadium resounded with a ten-second cry of regret.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "There is no doubt about it! This is the best Tang Zheng!"

In the twentieth minute of the game, the on-site director cut a shot to Messi, and then gave Tang Zheng with a confident face.

The contrast between the two is very obvious, Tang Zheng is full of confidence, and Messi is full of sadness.

Sky England commentator Andy Grey turned to Martin Taylor and said: "Personally, I have a very bold guess that Don has a good chance of scoring in the first half. ”

"Of course!" Martin Taylor hurriedly said, "I believe Don can score a stunning goal." ”

It didn't take long for the broadcasters to give a percentage of possession between the two sides.

48%VS52%

Compared to the percentage of possession ten minutes ago, Dortmund saved too much of a disadvantage.

Dortmund's tactics are very distinct, with Tang Zheng as the absolute core.

Tang Zheng is alive at this point, and the offense is naturally not a problem.

The Barcelona expeditionary force slowly discovered that the game was not going the way they had hoped, and that it was a passive defense that rarely appeared.

Pep Guardiola, who is in the coaching area of the visiting team, has long been aware of this, but he doesn't have a good way to fix it right now.

As the game ticked by, he found that not only did Messi not perform well, but the performance of other players was also a bit sluggish.

Only Sanchez and Alba, who have not tasted the Champions League, have played very hard, but football is a team sport, and it is difficult for one person to lead the whole team when he plays well.

Of course, if Messi plays normally, he can get Barcelona back to normal.

So Guardiola's eyes looked at Messi, whose running range was decreasing, and his brows were furrowed.

Sometimes a lot of things can't be said in person, everyone is an adult, and you can only rely on yourself to understand.

So, Guardiola looked up at the scoreboard on the pitch.

0:0 is very eye-catching, but the main place he looks at is the game time: 22'42"

It's only halfway through the first half, when will it be half-time?

Depending on the situation of the team, there is no way to fully adjust unless you wait until halftime.

Pep Guardiola had no choice but to make a multi-lateral and return gesture towards Xavi, signaling him to maintain control of the ball as much as possible and not to pursue too dangerous through balls.

Xavi's tactical execution was high, and the game was deliberately under his control in the direction that Guardiola wanted to see.

But the football has changed its taste at the feet of Messi, and his intention to speed up now is obvious, trying to speed up the attacking tempo to help the team break the deadlock.

However, Tang Zheng's state is too good, and with the help of his teammates, Messi really can't find a good breakthrough opportunity.

The broadcast camera was given to Tang Zheng again, and he tried to pick up a pass behind Pique when he received the football, but Lewandowski didn't realize that it was too late for him to run before he saw the pass, and the football was obtained by Valdés.

Valdés didn't throw the ball quickly the first time, but slowed down the tempo.

Tang Zheng also gained valuable time to think about how to find Barcelona's defensive holes.

Barcelona are not very strong defensively individually, but they are very dangerous together.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Is it possible to try a personal breakthrough?

※※※

In the blink of an eye, the game reached 30 minutes, and Dortmund and Barcelona were attacking and defending each other.

However, they always felt that they were almost something, and the attack was never able to hit the core area.

Tang Zheng continued to threaten Valdés with long-range shots and set-pieces, and the Barcelona defenders paid more and more attention to him, so they did not create any more chances.

Two minutes passed and Dortmund switched from defending to attacking.

Barcelona's first round of high pressing did not even touch the skin of football, and according to Guardiola's tactical requirements, they retreated to their own half.

Gundogan would love to hand the football to Tang Zheng, but with the attention of Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta, and Sanchez on the ribs, he is not an ideal passing spot.

Despite this, Tang Zheng still told Gundogan how to handle the ball and organize the attack through gestures.

The ball was passed to Reuss on the right flank, and he looked up at his teammates around him and saw that there was no good passing point, so he handed it to Sven Bender.

Sven Bender is a very good defensive midfielder who knows what he should be doing in the game.

He didn't stick to the ball and handed it back to Gundogan, who opened the gap to catch the ball.

According to Gundogan's advance observation, he wanted to give the ball to Hummels.

Slow down the pace of the game a little longer, involve more of Barcelona's defensive system, and see if you can find a vacancy.

Just when he was about to pass the ball, Yu Guang noticed that Tang Zheng reached out to ask for the ball, put down the right foot that was picked up, pulled the ball back, pushed the arch of his foot, and the football rolled to Tang Zheng, who was attacking thirty meters.

As in the past, Busquets used his body to carry Tang Zheng and prevent him from turning around with the ball.

Perhaps due to Busquets' interference, Tang Zheng's first stop was not parked well, and it was a little far away from his body.

Iniesta, who paid attention to Tang Zheng's activities when defending, was like a shark that smelled blood, and swooped out.

"Stopping the ball wrong?"

At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei exclaimed.

However, Tang Zheng is very explosive, and even uses Busquets' thrust from back to front to shorten the distance with the football.

Iniesta didn't expect Tang Zheng's explosiveness to be so strong at all, and he originally wanted to break the ball, but now he can only take the second plan - to clear the siege.

The fans at the scene saw very clearly that Iniesta picked up his right foot and kicked it towards the football, while Tang Zheng's right foot stopped in front of the football.

The collision between the two made a crisp 'Boom~' sound, which was equivalent to saying that the football kicked by Iniesta was just stopped by Tang Zheng.

The ball bounced irregularly to the right rib of the attack, and Tang Zheng chased the ball while signaling Royce to pull out of position.

※※※

Sergio Busquets did not let his guard down, and while keeping an eye on Tang Zheng, he also chased the irregular bouncing football.

At this time, Tang Zheng's outstanding ball quotient was vividly embodied.

He didn't grab the football like Busquets did, he grabbed the position first.

By the time Busquets realizes it's too late to fight for position, all he can do is stick to Tang Zheng.

But Tang Zheng didn't give Busquets a chance, he took a big step forward with his left foot, and picked up his right foot without even looking at the goal.

Seeing this, where does Busquets not know what Tang Zheng is going to do?

He didn't have time to judge whether Tang Zheng faked a shot, and stretched his left leg to block it during the run.

"Shot?" Marcel Leif said an octave higher: "NO!

Tang Zheng picked up his right foot and jerked the football to the left, twisting it back into his body, while Busquets, who is also tall and long-legged, withdrew his left leg and wanted to keep up with Tang Zheng's rhythm.

Pique, the left central defender who has been protecting behind him, hurriedly made up for it and came to Tang Zheng.

Busquets, who was shaken by Tang Zheng, hurriedly retreated to make up for the gap that Picla had come up with.

Tang Zheng flicked the football to the left front with the outside of his left foot, and then looked up at the goal.

Valdés and Pique were suddenly nervous, especially Pique, who subconsciously stretched his right leg to block the moment Tang Zheng picked up his left foot.

However, Tang Zheng did not shoot, and the inside of his left foot pushed the ball to the right.

Pique quickly retracted his right foot and kicked the ground, giving him enough strength to complete the change in his body's center of gravity.

At this moment, Tang Zheng did not follow the center of gravity of his body to turn back, but used the instep of his right foot to buckle the football that was originally buckled to the right to the left again, which is equivalent to saying that he buckled the football in the opposite direction of Pique's pounce.

Two consecutive stops are very difficult for a big man over 1.9 meters tall, and Pique did just that.

Tang Zheng is different, and his explosiveness is stronger.

The moment he sensed that Pique's center of gravity couldn't keep up, he decisively moved the ball forward, and the gap between Pique and Baltra slammed and accelerated!

"Whoa—"

At the same time, the loud cheers produced by Westphar Lun rose again, like an explosion when the loudest speaker was turned on.

Bartra has a good sense of defense, and when he realized that Pique was not enough to stop Tang Zheng, he decisively stepped forward to put a tackle and decided to use a foul to intercept Tang Zheng outside the penalty area.

The idea was good, but it didn't go according to his script.

Tang Zheng had a noticeable change after the inside of his right instep completed the forward smash, his right foot went to the left side of the soccer ball and flicked the ball to the right with the outside instep, and the ball rolled right from the toe of Baltra's right foot that was sticking out from the ground.

Immediately, Tang Zheng kicked hard with his left foot, and the powerful explosive power allowed him to complete the jump between the lightning and flint, dodging Baltra's inevitable falling sliding tackle.

Busquets was very glad that he chose to retreat to make up for Pique's vacancy, so he was able to stop Tang Zheng again after Tang Zheng broke through Pique and Bartra.

The only pity is that Tang Zheng entered the forbidden area, he didn't dare to make a move, he could only cross in front of Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng, who entered the penalty area, was like no one, and he was now red-eyed, and he couldn't see Lewandowski and Gotze on the left side at all.

His upper body has a noticeable tilt of gravity to the left, while the outside of his left foot is moving towards the ball.

Busquets didn't think about it, and chose to fall to the ground instantly, and the whole person was in front of Tang Zheng's left.

But Tang Zheng's left outside instep did not pluck the ball, just a false shot.

Pedal a bike!

Seeing this, a picture flashed in his mind as He Wei, the central 5 commentator, and subconsciously said, "This ...... This scene is so familiar. ”
