Chapter 287: So Insidious!

Tang Zheng used Gotze's forward insertion to attract the attention of City's only remaining lone midfielder, Xavi Garcia, who slammed the ball forward to the left with the inside of his right instep and then adjusted it with small steps. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Beautiful!!" Marcel Leif had just blurted out, and his brain was puzzled, "Long shot?"

With the same doubts, there is also Yang 5 commentator He Wei: "Tang Zheng has put on a good posture, is it ...... Do you want to shoot from a distance?"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said, "It must be a feint!"

Xavi Garcia has a backhand, after all, the attacker has a good advantage in two and one.

Immediately, he was keenly aware that Tang Zheng had no intention of passing the ball to Gotze, so he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and wiped his body back.

Tang Zheng's connection movements were very fast, his feet were adjusted in small steps, his right foot was about thirty centimeters on the right side of the football, his left leg full of explosive muscles was picked up, and his right arm was naturally raised to maintain his body balance.

Seeing this posture, where does Xavi Garcia, as a defensive midfielder, not know what Tang Zheng is going to do?

Even if Tang Zheng, who studied before the game, did not have a record of scoring with a long-range shot with his left foot, he still threw his whole body and forwarded with his right foot, trying to block Tang Zheng's long-range shot about 28 meters away from the goal.

At the same time, Tang Zheng's left foot hit the lower middle part of the football with the metatarsal bone in the instep of the instep, making a crisp "Boom~"

Harvey Garcia's fall and leg extension seemed half a beat slower, and the ball flew past the sole of his shoe.

Marcel Leff's tone changed from suspicious to chanting, shouting expectantly: "Long shot—"

Goalkeeper Hart originally didn't care about Tang Zheng's long-range shot, after all, an attacking player who mainly relies on right-footed shots to score wants to rely on his left foot to score, which is a bit unlikely.

But when he saw the ball fly almost against the sole of Harvey Garcia's shoe in the direction of the goal, all the contempt was left behind.

The Manchester City fans standing behind the goal watched the incoming goal with wide eyes and panicked faces.

Their hopes were entirely pinned on Joe Hart, who wanted to move to the left.

Joe Hart is in excellent physical condition and has excellent skills in front of goal, and winning the Premier League Golden Glove award in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 is a testament to his ability.

However, many times the goal is not about the ability of the goalkeeper, but the ability of the shooter.

The football that left Tang Zheng's left foot did not spin in mid-air, and the football was particularly clear under the strong lights of the Etihad Stadium.

Joe Hart took a step to the left and then jumped up in a hurry, and the powerful force of the explosion caused the sole of his left foot to scrape a piece of turf on the green grass in front of the goal, and the whole man soared into the air, and at the same time pushed up with his waist and abdomen, trying to use his extended right arm to save the football.

However, Tang Zheng's left-footed shot was extremely powerful, and the flight path was a little erratic, and Joe Hart's outstretched right palm did not touch the football......

A few tenths of a second later, the fast-flying soccer ball was bound by the snow-white net, and its potential energy terminated and fell to the ground.

“Goooooooooooooooooooal――”

Marcel Leif shouted passionately.

"World wave! Absolute world wave! Tang Zheng scored with a long-range shot with his left foot, which he was not familiar with!!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei shouted excitedly.

The commentator Xu Yang was also excited, and he was passionate and indignant: "This kick is really beautiful! The absolute dead corner in the upper right corner of the goal! I remember that before the game, some fans talked about Tang Zheng, who went to the Etihad Stadium, if he had nothing to do, he would kick it, maybe he would complete the world wave!"

"Hahaha!" He Wei responded with a smile: "It's really right to meet Hartmon!"

Before Andy Grey, the British Sky commentator could speak, the guest commentator, Martin Taylor, was the first to almost roar: "Whoa, whoa, one incredible long-range goal!"

At the same time, the Etihad Stadium became silent, as if stunned by Tang Zheng's long-range shot.

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, was very excited, and he ran all the way to the corner flag area on the right side with open arms, playing the classic sliding kneeling celebration.

As a double midfielder, the number of forward presses will definitely not be too much, and the goal of suddenly participating in the attack after this break must be carnival!

Originally, Gotze complained that Tang Zheng didn't pass the ball, but the key thing was that the ball went in!

His depression was swept away and chased after Tang Zheng.

The same is true of Lewandowski, Kuba, and Reus, who are very excited.

Jurgen Klopp, who was standing in the area of the visiting team's coach's command area, raised his arms and shouted in the sky.

The Dortmund Expeditionary Force that came to the Etihad Stadium with the team was excited like a child, dancing with their hands.

Beat Ajax at home in the first round, if you get three more points away from home, it is equivalent to saying that six points are in hand, and the probability of the group of death will be greatly increased!

The same is true of Dortmund fans all over the world, who roared fiercely and waved their fists vigorously to vent Tang Zheng's astonishing world waves!

In terms of ornamentation alone, it is impeccable!

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart crossed his hands on his hips and looked at the Dortmund players celebrating the goal.

In the review before the game, he obviously noticed that Tang Zheng's left foot had not yet scored a long-range goal, why did this long-range shot with his left foot hit such a high quality?

Definitely have been practicing!

Nima!

Gassy!

So insidious!

Ten seconds later, the Etihad Stadium regained its energy and erupted in loud boos to the Dortmund players in front of them.

But the Dortmund players who celebrated the goal didn't care, having done so at the Camp Nou, which has a capacity of 100,000 fans, would they be afraid of the boos created at the Etihad Stadium, which is not as large as the Westphalian Stadium?

When his teammates dispersed, Tang Zheng turned to face the camera and lowered his head to kiss the English tattoo on the inside of his left forearm.

Fans who are familiar with Tang Zheng know that Tang Zheng and his girlfriend Zhao Lina got a couple tattoo together in Hong Kong this summer, and the tattoo on the inside of his left forearm is the English abbreviation "NANA" of his girlfriend Zhao Lina.

So those female fans who stay up late to watch the game are equivalent to eating a mouthful of dog food.

Manchester City manager Mancini seemed quite helpless, and there was really nothing he could do about this kind of inexplicable world wave in the face of Joe Hart!

So he took advantage of the gap between Dortmund's celebrations and called David Silva to give him a good lesson.

Although the formation recovery change just now was not very successful, it does not mean that it is not fruitless, at least Dortmund will use their housekeeping skills to press high.

High pressing is Dortmund's strongest point, but it is also their weakest point.

Because the first round of high press cannot form a break or effective destruction, then the locally formed advantage will be nullified, and the far hole will be infinitely magnified.

The current Manchester City team is not bad at the technical level, Aguero, Nasri, David Silva and Yaya Toure all have superb foot skills and should survive Dortmund's high pressing.

That's ...... Absolute chance!

David Silva tapped his chin in understanding.

Dortmund, who was a guest, tasted the sweetness of high pressure and naturally would not give up easily, so they still chose high pressure after the game restarted.

With the resumption of the game, City stepped up their attack in the hope of equalising at short notice.

Losing away to Real Madrid in the first round put a lot of pressure on them, making them unaffordable to lose their home games in the second round!

Dortmund tried to press high when Manchester City attacked, but the Manchester City players were prepared, and they almost always played the ball, so whether it was the first round of siege or the second round of coaxing, they could not effectively grab the football.

At most, it will play a role in delaying the attack.

Several times in a row, Klopp realized that the situation was wrong, hurriedly came to the sidelines, and then made two gestures towards Tang Zheng.

Dortmund abandoned the strategy of high pressing and switched to zone defense, leaving only Lewandowski in front of him to do strategic suppression.

The pressure on Manchester City's players is no longer sharp, but their attack has been slow to bear fruit, which has somewhat disappointed the fans.

The Manchester City fans in the stands worked hard, and they collectively sang the team song "Blue Moon" under the leadership of the die-hard fans, cheering for the players.

At this time, David Silva ran into an open space, and as soon as he received the football, he encountered Tang Zheng's defense, and had no choice but to hand it back to Yaya Toure, who passed the ball.

This has happened more than once, and David Silva realised it was Dortmund's targeted defence, so he used more runs to link up the attack in the rest of the game.

Head coach Roberto Mancini has also noticed a change in Dortmund's defensive strategy, from high pressing to targeted defence, and it is not difficult to see that Klopp has made sufficient arrangements before the game, knowing that David Silva is the source of Manchester City's attack.

As a result, he had no choice but to opt for Plan B, with Nasri and Aguero on the wings looking for opportunities.

Nasri's breakthrough technique is relatively good, but Aguero is in trouble.

His technical moves tend to score in the box, making it a bit difficult for him to get past a few guys on the flanks like Nasri, and crosses are not his forte.

It is equivalent to saying that Manchester City's attack is backlogged on the right side of the side, relying on Nasri's breakthrough and Zabaleta's participation in the attack.

The lack of variation in the offense often makes it difficult to break down a defensively formed team's defence.

Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek have been Dortmund's ace backline in the last two seasons, and they work well with each other, and it is difficult for the general attack to break through their defence.

Until the end of the first half, City's attack failed to find a hole in Dortmund's defence.

Of course, the same is true of Dortmund's attack.

Their change from defense to offense lacks Tang Zheng's change, and it is far from enough to rely on Gotze's organization alone, and Tang Zheng has not been able to press forward much because he has to take into account the safety of his own defense, and he is more doing tandem, transfer and excess.

If he had the chance, he would have come forward and fired a long-range shot.

It's just that the long-range shot rate is not high in the first place, and Joe Hart is very focused after losing that goal, and he saves high to keep the goal from losing.
