Chapter 104: Cover

With the exciting Champions League theme song "Champions-League" sounding at the Allianz Arena, the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-finals Bayern rented a stadium to face Real Madrid is getting closer and closer.

The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena are full of passion, and the frenetic atmosphere of the Champions League game swept the entire stadium, coupled with the Tifo show carefully arranged by the Bayern fans, giving people a feeling of optimism and positivity.

Therefore, German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said with a smile: "The 0:1 defeat away left Bayern Munich with great hope of qualifying, Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid 4:1 at home in the Champions League semi-finals last season, and came to the Allianz Arena again after a season's Champions League semi-finals, the home fans cheered the home team in their way, and at the same time pressed the away team, personally, I hope Bayern Munich will advance to the Champions League final, but I want to ......"

Just as the broadcast picture was given to Tang Zheng, who walked into the stadium, Marcel Leif changed his voice: "I don't think Don will easily agree, but he has scored 16 goals against Bayern Munich in the past, and assisted Karim Benzema to score a goal a week ago!

At the same time, there was a loud boo at the Allianz Arena: "Woo woo-"

He Wei, the central 5 commentator who was introducing the relationship between Bayern and Real Madrid, shook his head while listening to the boos: "It seems that Bayern fans' opinions on Tang Zheng are not ordinarily deep, but I think Bayern fans should stop in moderation, Tang Zheng will receive this special 'welcome' every time in this stadium, but the boos will never affect Tang Zheng's performance on the field, but will arouse his inner desire to fight." ”

Zhan Jun, a commentator of New Wolf Sports, also said: "The player who attracted the most attention in this Bayern vs. Real Madrid match is Tang Zheng, but is this the best way for Bayern fans?

British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned his head and looked meaningfully at his old partner Martin Taylor: "Hey~ old man, I think you should say something?"

“……”

Martin Taylor gave Andy Gray a roll of his eyes, but then added: "Bayern Munich fans are trying to influence and provoke Don in this extreme way, but I think their way is naïve, Don has proven himself to be one of the best players in the world, and he has led Dortmund to an unbeaten record at the Allianz Arena, will he still be affected by the boos?"

Speaking of this, Martin Taylor raised his voice an octave and said loudly: "It is true that there will be influences, but these effects are positive, so ...... I'm looking forward to the faces of the Bayern Munich fans after 90 minutes, how sad they will be......"

The broadcast screen moved from Tang Zheng to Cristiano Ronaldo, and the boos dropped to the lowest, and the German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti was still very worried: "The destructive ability of the 'Bayern nemesis' Don is obvious to all, and the home fans make boos to help the home team Bayern Munich, but many times good intentions are easy to do bad things." ”

"CCTV, CCTV, the match that is now being broadcast live for you is the second leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-finals between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid......

With the whistle of the English referee Webb, the CCTV 5 commentator He Wei said the opening remarks of the traditional CCTV commentary.

The line-ups for both sides were changed from the first leg, with Real Madrid left-back Coentrão replacing Marcelo with a soleus injury and Isco replacing Luka Modric.

Bayern's line-up change was clearly a reference to the defeat in the first leg, with captain Lahm returning to right-back to replace Raphinha, Toni Kroos dropping back to partner Schweinsteiger in the first leg, and Thomas Muller playing in the middle.

To be precise, Muller is playing as a second striker, a sharp knife hidden behind Mandzukic.

Real Madrid, who was a visitor, kicked off first, and football soon came to the feet of Tang Zheng, who played as a defensive midfielder in this game.

Before the game, Carlo Ancelotti didn't want to use Tang Zheng as a central midfielder, but the two-back combination of Modric and Xavi Alonso was not very reassuring, so the final choice was made after careful consideration.

Tang Zheng's running ability, ability to read the game and sense of responsibility enable him to complete the relevant tasks assigned by the head coach before the game, and the visit to the Allianz Arena is certainly not as good as the home game, and the guest should choose to defend and counterattack in a low-key manner.

After the football came to Tang Zheng's feet, he did not quickly distribute the ball to the side, but pulled the ball with his right foot and turned to face his own goal and then consciously paused.

Mandzukic and Thomas Muller didn't think too much about it, and the away loss put a lot of pressure on them, so after seeing that Tang Zheng didn't pass the ball out, they looked at each other, and then pounced on each other very tacitly.

"Whoa—"

The Bayern fans in the stands cheered loudly, cheering on Mandzukic and Muller.

"Watch your back!"

Ramos pulled the angle to give Tang Zheng a passing angle, and at the same time reminded loudly.

However, Tang Zheng seemed to have a long eye behind his back, and in the first half second of Muller from behind him to the left, he suddenly pulled the ball with his right foot and pulled the ball to the left back.

Muller was originally going to cooperate with Mandzukic to complete the counter-attack in front of the court, and then play a counterattack on the spot, but he did not expect Tang Zheng to pull the ball between his legs the moment he stepped out with his right foot.

By the time it was too late for Muller to retract his right foot, he could only watch the ball roll under his crotch.

Mandzukic reacted quickly, and he reached out to pull Tang Zheng down.

But Tang Zheng was prepared, and raised his left arm while turning, just blocking Mandzukic's left hand that wanted to pull people.

At this point, Mandzukic did not insist on fouling, and was pulled by Tang Zheng and turned around to break through the crotch.

Suddenly, the frenetic atmosphere at the Allianz Stadium decreased, causing Real Madrid fans from afar to show their presence and create a huge cheer: "Taaaaa-"

"The home team Bayern formation is still the usual 4231 formation, but the starting lineup has changed......"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei was still introducing the starting list of the home team Bayern, and after seeing Tang Zheng's beautiful pull ball through the crotch, his voice changed, and he shouted: "Beautiful crotch wear! This scene seems to go back to his years of playing for Dortmund, showing his outstanding skills again and again at the Allianz Arena!"

The huge cheers created by the Real Madrid fans were quickly suppressed by the huge boos created by the Bayern fans who reacted in less than a second: "Woo woo woo-"

Tang Zheng didn't care about the sound from the sidelines, he pulled the ball and turned around and quickly handed the ball to Isco in front of him, who in turn gave it to Cristiano Ronaldo, who opened up on the left side to catch the ball.

Faced with Lahm's marking, Chris wanted to beat Ronaldo but did not choose to break through, and he turned to compatriot Coentrão.

Before the game, head coach Carlo Ancelotti had a targeted deployment, and the positional attack should choose safe passes as much as possible, not too many diagonal passes and direct passes.

After all, the speed of Robben and Ribery on the flanks should not be underestimated.

Add to that the fact that you're playing away from home, and there's always nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

※※※

Real Madrid's first attack ended in a shot on goal, and Carvajal crossed the ball to the right after the ball was passed to the bottom line under pressure from Alaba.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer took a short goal kick, Real Madrid did not press high, but left only Cristiano Ronaldo in front, and the other nine players returned to their own half to defend, with heavy reinforcements in the middle and on the ribs.

The advantage of Kroos' partnership with Schweinsteiger is that the ball is more timely, and compared to the more defensive-minded Lahm, Kroos has his own experience in rhythm control, long passes and long-range shots, so the Bayern attack at home looks very threatening.

However, Real Madrid obviously did their homework before the game, Xavi Alonso stood in front of the two central defenders, Tang Zheng helped defend both ribs, and even shrank to the bottom line to assist the defense when necessary.

At the beginning, Robben and Ribery were still ashamed and brave, looking full of confidence, and frequently used excellent foot skills and speed to test the defensive ability of Real Madrid's two wings, but as Tang Zheng strengthened the defense of the two wings, it was difficult for both Robben and Ribery to find opportunities on the wings.

Unable to open the gap on the flanks, Bayern head coach Pep Guardiola took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to make a tactical gesture towards Kroos on the sidelines.

"What the hell has changed?"

Carlo Ancelotti noticed Guardiola's gesture but didn't know what it meant.

Soon, Carlo Ancelotti realised what Guardiola's tactical gestures were.

Strengthen mid lane infiltration!

For this, Ancelotti also had a key advice before the game, so there was no problem with the defense, and even Tang Zheng sent a very accurate long pass from defense to attack.

Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't find the right shot against the defence of Lahm and Boateng, and in the end the fast break had to turn into a positional attack.

Tang Zheng did not press forward significantly because of the distance, and he was worried that the forward pressure would bring huge defensive pressure to Xavi Alonso, so he kept his position very well.

After all, Real Madrid is still leading 1:0 on aggregate, so there is no need to rush at all.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed in the first half.

It's just that the quality of these ten minutes is not good, it seems that Bayern dominates the attack, and Real Madrid counterattacks are also impressive, but the shots that hit the goal range did not appear once.

Carlo Ancelotti is immovable, but Pep Guardiola looks very anxious.

From time to time, he paced back and forth with the home coach, and from time to time he turned his head to communicate with his assistants, and then made physically movements with obvious tactical intent towards the players on the field.

The first shot on goal of the game came from Real Madrid, and it was done by Tang Zheng, who Bayern fans feared the most.

In the fourteenth minute, Real Madrid's quick counter-attack in front of the field was not successful, but Cristiano Ronaldo had a long-range opportunity, and his shot hit the leg of Boateng, who was outstretched and blocked, flew off the bottom line, and the corner kick.

Isco took a corner kick, Tang Zheng jumped high in front of the penalty area to beat Boateng and Mandzukic to complete the header attack, Neuer was well prepared, and his position was also very good, he blocked the ball from the bottom line with one palm, and shocked the home fans into a cold sweat.

With this danger, Bayern players paid more attention to Tang Zheng's activities in the next corner kick defense.

Sure enough!

Tang Zheng grabbed the landing point again, but this time he did not hit the target under Dante's interference, and his header was deflected off the left post of the goal.

The game continued and the frenetic atmosphere at the Allianz Arena remained as football returned to the feet of the Bayern players and they controlled the tempo of the game.

Although the game has not created an absolute scoring opportunity so far, Bayern fans are not in a hurry, they firmly believe that Bayern, who controls the tempo, can use the next game to equalize until they overtake!

Why?

This season's Bundesliga is the best proof of this!

Tang Zheng had a heavy defensive task in the next game, and he was rarely seen on the offensive end, and he was more about controlling the rhythm, transferring and distributing the ball.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Tang Zheng successfully cut off the ball at the feet of Muller with the cooperation of Isco and Di Maria, and Real Madrid switched from defense to attack.

Bayern did a good job of pressing high post, they put pressure on the ball carrier and their teammates around the ball carrier at the first time, and by the time the ball was taken out, Bayern's main defenders were already back in position, and Real Madrid had to switch from a quick counter-attack to a positional attack.

Tang Zheng received a ball from Carvajal on the right side of the center circle, and he didn't wait for Muller to step forward, and directly made a long pass to Di Maria, who was attacking on the right side of his side.

The passing power and angle were very good, but Di Maria stopped the ball too far away from his body, and Alaba took the first step to poke the ball out of the bottom line.

Corner kick!

Perhaps it was Tang Zheng's first two corner kicks that brought a threat to Neuer's goal, and Bayern coach Pep Guardiola rarely came to the sidelines and shouted: "Pay attention to Don!"

Originally, most of the Real Madrid players' attention was inclined to Tang Zheng, but now with the special advice of head coach Pep Guardiola, the attention is more inclined to Tang Zheng.

Goalkeeper Neuer raised his eyebrows, and reminded while directing his teammates to defend corner kicks: "Pay attention to other Real Madrid players, Sergio and Karim must be watched!"

Just then, Isco took an attacking corner from the right.

Neuer paced with his feet in the middle of the goal line and watched as the ball flew into the box with a clear inside arc.

With both players in front of goal and between the ball's landing points, Neuer had no chance to get the ball out.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was at the front point, looked at the height of the football and gave up the top ball, and Tang Zheng near the penalty spot carried Boateng and Mandzukic and prepared to jump.

Noticing that his partners Boateng and Mandzukic were being suppressed and unable to jump, Dante opted for Ramos, then took a step forward and reached out to tug at the shirt behind Tang Zheng.

But...... Tang Zheng didn't mean to jump, but grinned, and at the same time grabbed Dante's shirt with his backhand, making him lose the best time to jump.

Suddenly, Dante was shocked.

Because according to the flight trajectory of the football, the landing point is the area where you are sitting just now.

Could it be?

Is it cover?

Immediately, Dante turned his head to see Ramos leap high and then fall on his forehead......
