368 The End of the Crossbow
Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund played out a 1-1 draw in the first half.
The passivity on the pitch made fans worry that Dortmund's strong period had come to an end.
There is even a good chance that the winning streak will be ended today, or worse, the first defeat of the season.
Jurgen Klopp made changes to the midfield at half-time, and the three midfielders of Shahin, Sven Bender and Gundogan had too little support for the attack, and it was certainly not enough to rely on just one pass and leave the rest of the work to the striker.
Dortmund's attacking threat improved visibly in the second half, with Dortmund's two midfielders, Gundogan and Shahin, taking turns to step forward to support the attack, and Lewandowski's proactive response to create chances for his team-mates.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Lewandowski answered with his back in the penalty area and knocked back diagonally to find Tang Hong, who stopped and kicked back the ball under Gustavo's defensive pressure, and knocked the ball horizontally after opening up the distance from the opponent.
Gundogan, who was cut in from behind, made a good chance to shoot from the penalty area, only to have a shot into the arms of Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio.
Dortmund fans were somewhat disappointed.
Defenders like Gundogan and Shaheen sometimes surprise the team, but it is difficult to expect them to step up at crucial moments.
Dortmund missed a good opportunity, and Wolfsburg gradually became more aggressive, because the number of Dortmund midfielders involved in the front-court attack increased, and the pressure of being counterattacked by Wolfsburg at this time will also increase.
In the 61st minute of the game, Wolfsburg launched a fast attack in front, Perisic crossed from the side to the middle of the penalty area, and high school striker Arnold grabbed a header to complete the goal!
The moment the ball topped into the top left corner of the goal, the Dortmund fans seemed to have an ominous premonition of loss.
Klopp stood on the sidelines with a blank expression.
Falling behind made him think more calmly.
It is obvious that Dortmund has a clear style of play since the beginning of the season, and the attacking and defensive sharpness has changed significantly, which is due to the multiple influences of the strength and form of the players.
If Dortmund is still required to face the game with the previous tactical style of play at this time, then Dortmund is likely to mess up.
It is very significant that when Dortmund succeeds in counter-attacking in midfield, there is less threat of attacking forwards, and their on-the-spot fast-attacking efficiency plummets.
There is not much room for adjustment in this game, but he will have to plan carefully before facing Bayern Munich in the next round, otherwise a rout will be inevitable.
The Dortmund players on the pitch could only pick up the tempo and try to complete the comeback.
In the 69th minute of the game, Tang Hong received Schmelzer's pass on the left in front of the penalty area, and was intercepted by Gustavo as soon as he pulled the ball and turned around.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Gustavo.
Tang Hong silently put the ball on the foul spot, and then looked at the Wolfsburg generals to set up the human wall.
No one competed with him for the right to take free kicks, and at this time, his teammates consciously put almost all the right to fire into Tang Hong's hands.
After Wolfsburg set up the human wall, Tang Hong took a few steps back, and after hearing the referee's whistle, he began to run.
The left leg supports the body, the right leg swings, the body is tilted to an almost exaggerated angle, and the ball that is shot out of the instep of the instep rises and flies to the far corner of the goal over the edge of the wall, but after crossing the wall, it begins to spin rapidly!
The arc outlined by the rotation is very beautiful, but in the eyes of goalkeeper Benaglio, it is so full of confusion!
When Benaglio took a step towards the far post, he immediately stopped and turned to the left of the middle of the goal, at this time the football was already flying in an arc, and he had no time to move to the most suitable place to jump, so he could only quickly get up and reach out to make a save.
The fingers of his right hand barely touched the football, and a slight touch was not enough to change the ending.
The ball flew into the Wolfsburg goal!
"Wow! Tang Hong's free kick scored directly! Borussia Dortmund's God of War helped the team equalize again!
Twice down, twice equalised!
When Dortmund was plagued by injuries, Tang Hong still maintained a stable output, and Wolfsburg was close to cutting Dortmund off the horse, but Tang Hong did not agree!
The score became 2:2, and there were still 20 minutes left in the game, and there was still suspense about who would die! ”
Wolfsburg, both the fans and the players, are full of resentment!
Obviously, their performance today is better than Dortmund as a whole, it can be said that Dortmund is in a relatively sluggish state as a whole, but Tang Hong always stands up at a critical time node when there are not many opportunities!
Wolfsburg wants a victory, and if Dortmund doesn't take advantage of the situation, it will definitely be a waste of God's chance.
Wolfsburg began to launch an onslaught!
Dortmund, on the other hand, were held back for five minutes without even a decent attack.
Fortunately, Wolfsburg attacked fiercely but failed to take advantage of the opportunity.
When the game came to the 82nd minute, Tang Hong had already returned to the backfield to receive the organization.
After Sven Bender passed the ball to his feet, Tang Hong kicked the ball into the center circle and then ran to the middle.
Lewandowski knocked the ball back, Tang Hong came to the middle and accelerated to dodge the defender's counter-robbery, looked at the front of him and then sent it straight over the top.
Wolfsburg's massive attack caused an open space behind the defence, and Aubameyang cut inside the middle to form a single knife in the offside position!
The Wolfsburg defenders chased back at full speed, only to find that they were getting farther and farther away from Aubameyang!
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who came to the outside of the penalty area, shot hard at the onrushing Benaglio, and the ball flew straight to the top left corner of the goal!
The Wolfsburg fans couldn't help but hold their heads in disbelief!
Dortmund fans are ecstatic!
What a surprise!
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored and flipped in front of the visitors' fans in celebration before smiling and pointing his hands at Tang Hong.
Jurgen Klopp celebrated with a fist on the sidelines, but there was no smile on his face.
Even if they overtake now and finally be able to reverse Wolfsburg, they can't ignore Dortmund's overall sluggish performance.
It can only be said that their forward line is really strong!
Borussia Dortmund made a series of substitutions to strengthen the defence, and Klopp didn't want his current lead to be equalised.
Veteran captain Kyle came on to replace Shahin, and Grosskloitz replaced Robert Lewandowski.
Borussia Dortmund strengthened their late defensive efforts to put Wolfsburg on the back burner and won a hard-fought 3-2 away victory.
At the end of the game, Tang Hong returned to the locker room physically and mentally exhausted.
The fatigue stems from back-to-back plays, with Champions League games in midweek and away games at the weekend.
The mental exhaustion is due to the team's difficulty in winning, and compared with the enthusiasm of the team at the beginning of the season to be able to slaughter the opponent with ease and pleasure, the team now has to rebuild from defense to midfield offensive and defensive organization, as well as the coordination and state of the forward line.
Dortmund's 12-game winning streak in the league and 19 consecutive wins in all competitions have really reached the limit of the end of the crossbow.
If there weren't so many injuries, or if the team's defenders, midfielders, and strikers weren't all affected, Dortmund wouldn't have had as hard a run as they are now.
Tang Hong naturally has some psychological gap in his heart, anyone who was able to enjoy the game more than a month ago, but now it seems to be moving forward with a load, I am afraid that the mentality cannot be as calm as water.
However, he soon began to regulate himself, he did not come to Dortmund to sit back and enjoy his glory, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he still has to rely on himself to get something!
The green field is indeed like sailing against the current, and it is not a good thing to get used to the smooth wind and water, and not being able to withstand the blow of the wind and waves will only make people weak.
Borussia Dortmund return with 12 consecutive league wins.
Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 3-0.
Although Pep Guardiola's team is sometimes complained about by Bayern Munich fans on the field, the record of 10 wins and 2 draws at the beginning of the season is indeed impeccable.
As for Dortmund's impressive record of 12 consecutive wins, if you look at their performances, no one would think that Dortmund are better than Bayern Munich at this time.
Pep Guardiola is looking forward to the next round of the top spot!
Borussia Dortmund also have a time slot for FIFA matchdays to adjust.
The international players were called up by the national team, and Tang Hong entered a short break at Borussia Dortmund.
He first visited Reus, who was recovering from his injuries, spent an afternoon playing FIFA games with him at his home, and enjoyed dinner cooked by his sister at his home.
His sister's cooking skills are really not flattering, but Tang Hong can only swallow the complaint and the meal into his stomach.
But his sister couldn't help but complain that Royce had been single for almost a year since the last breakup, and if he didn't find a partner, even his family would wonder if he had bent over.
Most of the time in this special period, no one can take care of the two sisters and make the two sisters somewhat resentful, Royce as the "German Beckham" has not had a rumored girlfriend in the past nearly a year, which is indeed a bit surprising, but the rumored boyfriend is a basket......
Tang Hong also chatted with him on this topic.
I remembered that when I was injured, someone around me took care of me, even when Shinji Kagawa was injured, his girlfriend was also by his side.
Reuss, a native of Germany, can only be reduced to letting his sister, who already has a family, take time to take care of him, which is indeed a bit bleak.
Royce's last relationship was also his first love, from middle school to entering society, the process of the two breaking up peacefully told Tang Hong a rough story.
Tang Hong could feel from the tone of his voice that Royce didn't seem to have let go, maybe he had let go, but he hadn't come out of the shadows in terms of the relationship between men and women.
After all, the first love didn't make it to the end, which can be regarded as a blow to serious people.
Royce didn't want to talk too much, so he changed the topic and asked Tang Hong when he planned to get married.
Tang Hong ate the fruit and said casually: "Maybe you should ask me if I have a marriage partner." Forget it, it's all the same. I don't know, I seem to be opening a harem now, and I don't know how many wives I will marry in the future. ”
Royston was stunned and blurted out: "You scumbag! ”
Tang Hong nodded without changing his face and said, "Well, I'm a scumbag, I never thought of being a saint, or a good person with a noble moral realm."
From now on I can call you a single dog, you can call me a scumbag, it's fair. ”
Royce was momentarily speechless.
