456 I've Met the Great God!
After a two-month truce, the Champions League is finally back in flames, and it is a more exciting knockout round!
There are many highlights of the clash between defending champion Borussia Dortmund and Juventus.
For example, supernova Pogba and Tang Hong, who can lead the team to eliminate opponents.
Sometimes the European media's contempt for Tang Hong is palpable.
Just like Chinese fans will always leave a comment under this kind of news: Why did Pogba line up with Tang Hong?
Neither a striker, nor a worthy accolade.
Is it because they are the same age?
In the case of Ronaldo and Messi, I am afraid that the European media will not discuss them together.
The invisible subtext is actually that Tang Hong has not reached the category of the supernormal.
Tang Hong doesn't care about this.
If he retires now, he can at least pull out a Europa League winner and two Champions League winners' medals.
Although it is a little less, it is still an honor to envy and look up to compared to the vast majority of players who have played in Europe's top leagues in their careers.
February 18, evening, Juventus Stadium in Turin.
Tang Hong stood in the tunnel waiting for the game to start, casually glancing at Juventus's starting line-up, except for the legendary Buffon and Pirlo, the other players are all well-known famous players, as well as Tevez, who has played in the Premier League.
Patrice Evra, who joined Juventus from Manchester United, simply greeted Tang Hong.
The two have worked together for a season at Manchester United, and they are also the same wing.
It's just that after Tang Hong left, Fleet Street's public opinion evaluation of him was negative, and the relationship between Evra and Tang Hong itself was also very average when he was at Manchester United.
He also saw Pogba, who had a unique hairstyle, and compared to Tang Hong, who had maintained the same hairstyle for several years, Pogba was definitely a master in terms of hairstyle changes.
When Tang Hong joined Manchester United, Pogba left the club on a free transfer for Juventus that summer.
Two and a half years have passed, Tang Hong has also left Manchester United, leaving behind unprecedented glory and achievements, as well as the team's all-time goalscorer statistics, and Pogba has also made a name for himself at Juventus and is considered the next midfield master in European football.
With Manchester United's sinking in the Premier League, Fleet Street often takes stock of some players that the Red Devils should not let go of in recent years, Tang Hong is the first, and Pogba is the second.
So although the two have never met before, they often appear in the same topic.
I don't know if this is a special fate.
The starters of both teams came on and the Juventus Stadium was in full swing.
Jurgen Klopp and Allegri stood on the sidelines supervising the battle, their expressions a little solemn.
Allegri lamented bad luck and met the defending champion as soon as he entered the knockout round!
Jurgen Klopp is not sure about the team's form.
Playing in the league and playing in Europe are completely different battlegrounds.
Whether it's Borussia Dortmund or Juventus, they actually have similar problems, and Juventus definitely haven't woken up if they think they are invincible in Europe if they go sideways in Serie A.
Fortunately, they have a lot of experience as old giants and can clearly recognize the reality.
Borussia Dortmund's recent record in the Bundesliga has been up and down, the team's overall form has fluctuated greatly, and with Sven Bender's injury and sideline, the veteran captain Kyle, who will retire in a few months, is activated today.
If Klopp doesn't worry in his heart, he has no heart and no lungs.
Juventus lined up 4312 at home.
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon.
Defenders: Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra.
Midfielders: Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba.
Forwards: Alvaro Morata, Carlos Tevez.
Borussia Dortmund continued to start 433.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.
Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.
Midfielders: Shaheen, Mkhitaryan, Kell.
Forwards: Reuss, Mandzukic, Tang Hong.
Once the game started, Juventus made a quick pass in midfield and tried to open up the situation in the middle.
Compared to Juventus's accumulation of fierce men in the midfield, Dortmund is a little soft in comparison.
In the third minute of the game, Vidal played the ball in the middle of the front field to Pogba, who pulled the ball in front of Shaheen and pulled the ball behind to complete the escape, and then sent the ball through.
Carlos Tevez fired in from a tight angle on the left flank of the penalty area, and Weidenfeller was solid enough to block the ball into the near corner.
It was Dortmund's turn to attack, and they played mainly on the wings.
Tang Hong was caught between Lichtsteiner and Marchisio as soon as he stopped the ball on the left side of the field, and he calmly passed the ball diagonally to Mkhitaryan, who took the initiative to pick up, who sent a diagonal pass over the top.
Lichtsteiner looked back and was greeted by Mandzukic.
Mandzukic controls the ball on the wing and crosses it.
Tang Hong had already cut inside to the left rib of the penalty area.
When Bonucci stepped forward to intercept, Tang Hong faked a cross-cut after stopping the ball but changed to a step forward for the ball.
Bonucci was directly shaken, and watched Tang Hong pass by.
Tang Hong also shot from a small angle in the penalty area!
The left-footed ball went straight to the far corner of the goal.
Despite his age, Buffon was still athletic, swooping out and holding the ball firmly with both hands.
He stood up and was about to open the door quickly, but Tang Hong blocked in front of him, and then took a step to the side, Buffon didn't dare to kick the ball away, looking at Tang Hong's serious expression who was close at hand, Buffon couldn't help but smile at Tang Hong.
Tang Hong withdrew after the start.
Delayed Buffon's kick-off to buy Dortmund some time to adjust their defence.
Juventus can taste the sweetness of attacking in the middle, especially with Andrea Pirlo in the backfield, Dortmund's midfield is almost difficult to disrupt Juventus's attacking organization with counterattacks initiated by the strikers.
In the 8th minute of the game, Pogba received Morata's return pass in the middle of the front field and hit the goal directly!
The shot was very imposing, but unfortunately the angle was too right, Weidenfeller blocked the ball with both palms in front of the goal, and Subotic cleared the ball with a header on the line of the penalty area to clear the danger.
Pogba's long-range shot tested Dortmund.
Turning his head, Tang Hong cut inside the edge of the penalty area to receive a pass from Shahin, plucked the ball, changed to cross-cutting to get rid of Marchisio, and got up and shot next to Pirlo.
The right-footed ball crosses a pleasing inside arc and crashes into the top right corner of the goal!
Gianluigi Buffon made a world-class save with one palm and lifted the ball over the crossbar.
The crowd applauded.
It's really exciting.
Buffon stood up and looked at Tang Hong from afar.
It's a direct battle between top scorers and top goalkeepers!
The game lasted 15 minutes, and the two teams went back and forth, with Juventus focusing on the strong firepower of the midfield, and Dortmund playing well on the wings.
When Vidal suddenly crossed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area on the edge of the box, Morata quickly cut in diagonally and turned halfway in front of the baseline to knock the ball back into the area.
Weidenfeller scrambled to sweep the ball out of the game.
The ball flew just outside the box but was controlled by Pogba and he shot directly from 30 yards out!
The soccer ball hangs in the top left corner of the goal!
"Wow! Pogba scores from distance! Juventus take the lead at home!
Defending champions Borussia Dortmund are completely inferior to Juventus in midfield today!
Pogba is proving himself to be the most talked-about superstar in midfield of this era!
Juventus lead Borussia Dortmund 1-0. ”
Pogba's celebration with a unique look is generally said to be pretending to be forced.
It's not an exaggeration to score a goal, pretend to be a force.
Dortmund's style of play remained unchanged after kick-off.
Juventus are starting to be a little cautious.
The Serie A team can't afford to go with the wind in their bones.
has been very stable since he was a child, how can he wave?
In the 22nd minute of the game, Mandzukic brought the ball to Tang Hong at the edge of the penalty area, and the latter blasted a shot into the goal from outside the box.
Seeing that it could become a world wave, the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the outside of the goalpost.
The ball almost flew into the back of goal similar to Pogba's long-range trajectory.
Juventus' apparent style shifted to a focus on quick counter-attacks after switching from defense to attack.
In the 28th minute, Pirlo found Tevez with a pinpoint long pass from the back, who dribbled into the Dortmund penalty area, and was cut off by Hummers when the key ball changed direction in an attempt to get rid of Hummels.
Hummels' key interception was a morale booster.
Two minutes later, Tang Hong shot again from the left in front of the penalty area.
Another scrub shot, the ball flew across the inside arc to the far corner of the goal, but this time the ball fell to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Buffon flew to save the ball with one palm!
Tang Hong couldn't help but smile wryly.
Today I really met the great god!
Three minutes later, Juventus was cut off by Kyle in the middle of the attack, and Dortmund immediately launched a fast attack.
Mkhitaryan sent a through ball in front of the center circle, Mandzukic received the ball in the center and retreated, and when Tang Hong ran out of space, he passed the ball diagonally.
Tang Hongne, who got rid of Marchisio, cut to the left in front of the penalty area.
Bonucci and Chiellini were seen in the middle of the box and in front of him.
Tang Hong once again stood on the spot.
The football flew into the Juventus penalty area after it got off the ground, and when everyone thought that Tang Hong was still persistently hitting the far corner of the Juventus goal, Buffon was alert!
Because the power of Tang Hong's shot is obviously small!
And the angle looks a bit off the goal!
It's not a shot!
It's a pass!
When he moved quickly to the back of the goal, after the game started, it was as if he had entered a stealth state, and suddenly killed in front of the small penalty area to meet the falling football volley!
Buffon, even if he was a god, couldn't stop Reus's shot!
Not only did Royce shoot the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, but he was also a bouncing ball!
The ball bounced off the ground in the middle of the goal and flew into the far corner!
Royce smiled and turned his head to point at Tang Hong, and after Tang Hong ran over, the two put their arms around each other's shoulders and rushed to the visiting fans' stands to celebrate the goal!
Klopp breathed a sigh of relief.
