The weather was already quite warm, but it started to rain and the temperature plummeted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wang Zhen did not hesitate to put on a pair of knee pads, and then put on stockings.
Facing Ozil, who had strange eyes, Wang Zhen complained: "I'm old now, old and cold." β
Wang Zhen didn't like to bring any protective equipment in his career, if it wasn't for the stipulation that he must bring shin guards, otherwise Wang Zhen wouldn't even bring shin guards.
Putting on the spike boots, Wang Zhen smiled slightly: "In the second half, Ribery couldn't run." β
"Captain, you can't run anymore."
Wang Zhen laughed: "I can't run anymore I can still catch the ball and shoot on the spot, Ribery can't run, their advantage side is gone." β
Teammates have said, captain, what you said is so reasonable, we can't refute it.
Only Kane was a little uncomfortable.
In the past one and a half seasons, Kane's role has been Wang Zhen's role in this game, how can he adapt to it for a while?
However, Kane understands that he is really much worse than his brother in offensive efficiency, but Wang Zhen has been reluctant to attack in order to protect his body.
This game is Wang Zhen's game.
The people of Mainz are well acclimated to this.
Everyone who comes to Mainz will see a huge picture on the first day of the first corner of the players' tunnel leading to the home team's dressing room at the Century Stadium.
That's a photo of Wang Zhen holding the cup.
In those years, in every game, Wang Zhen played his current role.
Listening to the cheers of the fans, you can know how familiar they are with this Wang Zhen.
In the other dressing room, Pep Guardiola is nervously explaining tactics.
This rain was not expected by the weather forecast, and if the weather forecast was accurate, it would not be called a forecast.
Due to the rain battle, he had to arrange a second set of tactics.
"Ribery, you are responsible for the long shot, let Alonso dribble forward, Muller, you are ready to shoot from a distance, Lewandowski you are still in the front."
"Yes, understood."
Although Guardiola and Ribery are very incompatible, at this moment, he agrees to Ribery's request to play with an injury, and it can be seen that this team really can't do without Ribery.
Long-range shooting is also a stunt that Ribery relied on to become famous, and in the 06 World Cup, a goal was shocking.
"The second half is about to begin."
When the two sides walked out of the tunnel together, Ribery was still joking: "Wang Zhen, don't count in the first half, and come in the second half." β
Wang Zhen pouted: "Neuer, you are comfortable in the first half, and in the second half, I want to score." β
Neuer clenched his fists: "You try it and see if anyone is cowardly." β
After the joke, Wang Zhen's face became solemn, because he had already entered.
The torrential rain, although the sound is not as loud as the fans' songs, is deafening.
That's a rarity!
This is Germany.
"It's waterlogged, be careful."
That's right, the Century Stadium, which has only been built for eight years, still has water in its drainage system, which was built to the highest standards.
The heavy rain was sloping, and there was no time to drain the water.
Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola were communicating with the referee: "Let's start. β
The referee looked at the sky: "Gotta wait, it's too big." β
"It's more important for your body to keep warm than waiting for the rain to get a little smaller."
"Can you kick in this weather?"
"Yes!" "Yes!"
The two bishop heads were very firm, and the referee nodded: "Okay then." β
Not to mention, as soon as the race started, the rain slowly became lighter again.
However, when it hits the body, it is still a big drop and it hurts.
In the fiftieth minute or so, both sides gradually adapted to the rain, because the rain became much lighter.
In the fiftieth minute, Bayern launched an attack, and the ball advanced rapidly, knowing that it reached the 30-meter line.
This is the common way of playing in the current Bundesliga teams, and Mainz is not the only one who plays.
In other words, in Europe, everyone will play tactics, and just like the Premier League, the Bundesliga has developed its own wide range of styles, with only a few teams adopting other styles of play.
When the ball reached the 30-metre line, Ribery received the ball in the middle.
As soon as he received the ball, Gotze rushed over.
However, it was still slow and Ribery lifted his foot to shoot.
Football has flown up.
In the heavy rain, the football splashed and kept getting closer to the goal of Mainz.
Bilki had already pounced, however, he didn't save the ball and the ball didn't fly into the goal.
Spasoye actually judged the path of the ball in that second, jumped up and crashed into the football, which bounced out of the penalty area.
And Spasoye was hit on the thigh by the football heavily, and rolled directly after landing on the ground, if it wasn't for the rain battle, it was unimaginable, and he was rolled around by the football.
"Brajci, brilliant goalkeeper!"
It is rare for a long-range shot to be saved in front of goal, and it is also Ribery's bad luck that he happened to be bumped into.
After the ball popped out of the penalty area, it was Shaheen who took the ball, and Shaheen immediately began to advance.
When it came to the frontcourt, Kane dragged back and got the ball, and then handed it to Wang Zhen next to him, and at this time, it was Payer who was at the front of the trio.
Wang Zhen took the ball and shot directly from a distance!
It took less than 12 seconds to finish, and 12 seconds before it was Ribery who had fired from distance at the other end of the pitch.
After hitting the wind and rain, the football quickly rose up, but there was no downward trend, and finally floated off the crossbar.
"Ahh Hit high! β
Wang Zhen, who completed the shot, didn't have time to be annoyed, but staggered a step, and then covered his thigh.
Kane looked back: "Are you alright?" β
"It's fine."
"Call the team doctor?"
"No, it's just slippery."
The game continued, and for the next twenty minutes, the rain became smaller and heavier, unpredictable.
"Is this going to rain all the summer?"
In the seventy-fifth minute, it was Mainz's turn to advance again.
Hummels cut in and passed the ball to Hoffman on the halfway line, who took two quick steps to the ball without the slightest hint of sticking to the ball.
The football is at the feet of Mesut Ozil, who intends to collide with Gotze against the wall.
But it was a mistake.
Now the rain has become a little heavy again, and it does not meet the conditions for ground coordination at all.
However, Gotze still ran two quick steps to get the ball.
Once he got the ball, GΓΆtze couldn't go back as a wall because Ozil was already targeted by Ribery.
Gotze passed directly to the front of him.
In front of him is Wang Zhen!
Wang Zhen is now facing Xavi Alonso!
Stopping the ball and staying in place, Wang Zhen pretended to deflect his center of gravity to the left, but Xavi Alonso was unmoved.
Alonso judged that this was a false sway.
Wang Zhen frowned, since I don't eat and shake, then I am really biased, so I forcibly exerted my thigh strength and took a step to the left.
This time, Alonso was shocked and turned away.
But as he moved, Wang Zhen flicked the ball to the right.
The moment he plucked the ball, Wang Zhen's heart chuckled.
Thigh!
This feeling.
Tingling, soreness.
But Wang Zhen still forcibly lifted his right leg.
Alonso had already lost his position and made a final struggle, going straight to this side.
However, Wang Zhen did not shoot, and his right foot landed lightly to the left and gently plucked the ball again.
After shaking from side to side continuously, causing Alonso to fall to the ground, Wang Zhen forced his right leg to stand up straight, and his left leg was lifted and jerked heavily towards the football.
The pain in his right leg made Wang Zhen dare not shoot with his right leg, in that case, he would definitely strain or even tear his muscles.
So, Wang Zhen shoots with his left foot!
