The Dortmund players who came to Wen Zhihao were Weigel and Piszczek, Wen Zhihao saw Weigel in front, and directly changed direction to the left side to pass the ball, but as soon as the ball went out, Piszczek's long legs stepped directly on Wen Zhihao's feet, and he was put down cleanly.

Fortunately, Wen Zhihao was stepped on when he unloaded most of the strength on his feet in time, although he fell on the turf and gnawed on the mud, looking a little embarrassed, but if his sense of self-protection is not strong, it is estimated that if he steps on this foot, it is estimated that it is a problem whether he can stand up on the spot.

However, this time it also hurt Wen Zhihao, and he lay directly on the ground for half a minute, and the Dutch referee Kebers quickly interrupted the game, and the Atletico Madrid players kicked the ball out of the sideline, and a group of people gathered around the place of the incident.

Piszczek still had a good attitude, although he was blocked by the referee and Atletico Madrid players in the outer layer of the crowd and could not get close to Wen Zhihao, but he still stuck his head out and looked inside, trying to confirm whether his unconscious action had caused any serious consequences.

On the bench, Liang Xin watched the referee and the players from both sides get together, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and Sha Xin joked with him again: "Liang, do you think if Wen knew that this was your idea, he would forgive you?" ”

Liang Xin shook his head: "Nuri, in our Chinese words, you are really salty and don't worry about eating radishes." Inexistent. I'm a Borussia Dortmund now, so of course I have to look out for the team's interests first. And you underestimate him too much, this little thing is trivial to him. ”

When Sha Xin heard this, he thought more and more highly of Liang Xin in his heart.

Wen Zhihao was fine in the end, even the team doctor Dr. Haas did not enter the field, Wen Zhihao moved two steps, the pain passed, and he was able to enter the game normally. The expression on Piszczek's face was obviously relaxed, and he raised his hand to signal and cast an apologetic look at Wen Zhihao, proving that he didn't mean to.

The big stone in He Wei's heart also fell to the ground, and he said: "Zhihao is nothing, it's really a false alarm." But this is definitely not as innocent as the expression on Piszczek's face, Wen Zhihao is the most threatening, this is not a secret at all, and Stegel should be a targeted arrangement. ”

He Wei's remarks smacked of conspiracy theories, but they hit the nail on the head.

What is interesting is that before Wen Zhihao returned to the game, he specially glanced at the Dortmund bench, just collided with Liang Xin's gaze, Liang Xin was not afraid to look at each other, but under Wen Zhihao's slightly meaningful gaze, he felt as if he had been seen through, and instinctively felt weak, and finally took the lead in avoiding Wen Zhihao's gaze and looking away.

Wen Zhihao knew that there was a reason why the other party was menacing at the beginning. And so it was!

Good for you!

……

"Wen, are you alright?" Gabi came over in time to care.

Wen Zhihao waved his hand, and then said to Gabi: "From now on, try to play long passes, they are eyeing our short passes, and if they continue to fight like this, it is estimated that there will be no effect." ”

Gabby frowned: "This routine is too simple, isn't it?" That's not what the boss asks for. You're not scared, are you? ”

"We're not Barcelona, playing short passes, we can't reach the point where people can reach the peak as they want, if you are poor, you want to change, you always have to try, and now the score has not changed, as long as you don't lose the ball, it's a big deal to adjust back in time."

Wen Zhihao and Gabi are so combined, Atletico Madrid's routine has returned to the traditional simple direct counterattack routine, Wen Zhihao's position began to be close to the forward line, since it is relying on long passes to instigate the offensive, then Gabi and Saul to launch a long pass on the line, what needs to be played is his expertise in speed and running.

Dortmund's strategy for Wen Zhihao is to compress Wen Zhihao's space, not to use a special person to mark the whole field, Stegger obviously learned the lessons of other opponents, and when he encounters Wen Zhihao, an offensive player with comprehensive offensive means, who can pass and control and can break through, one-on-one marking, unless the defensive player is as comprehensive as experience, skill and awareness, otherwise half of the loss has been lost at the beginning.

At least from the first 20 minutes of the first half, Stegger's defence paid off, forcing Wen Zhihao to temporarily change his style of play.

But Atletico's change was also immediate, Saul became the offensive starting point of Atletico Madrid's midfield, and Wen Zhihao's running position was even more chicken thief, specializing in the left half of Dortmund's penalty area, Papastathopoulos is tall and legged, but also lack of mobility, Wen Zhihao ran in a circle around him, and from time to time went around to receive a long pass in front of him and directly used the pull ball to turn around and wipe it diagonally into the penalty area, Papastathopoulos had no tricks at all, as a central defender, and he couldn't let Wen Zhihao throw himself away, Only foul tactics can be used.

And the cost of doing this is also very high, Wen Zhihao has tried repeatedly, and will naturally use it more boldly, and in this kind of foul in the danger zone, the referee may only give a verbal warning once or twice, but Papastathopoulos repeatedly challenges the bottom line of the penalty in a similar way, and will inevitably receive a yellow card from Kappers.

The central defender received a yellow card, Papastathopoulos's defensive actions had a lot of scruples, and the defensive deterrence was greatly reduced, Dortmund instantly felt the huge pressure on the defensive line, and the left fullback Schmelzer actively supplemented the defense to participate in the defense of Wen Zhihao, and this is the chain reaction, Wen Zhihao attracted Schmelzer, and Juanfran got the free space to insert assists at will.

In the 31st minute, Juanfran cut directly from the side to assist, Wen Zhihao directly withstood the huge physical pressure of the opponent's defense, and picked the ball back and directly picked it to Juanfran Willan, Weidenfeller could only block a small angle, but Juanfran directly crossed the goal, and Atletico Madrid ambushed Griezmann, Costa and Saul in front of the goal, which gave the Dortmund backline a great test. If the defender is not effective, it is very likely that the direct own goal is very likely.

There was a chaotic battle in front of the Dortmund goal, but the drama was that Griezmann in front and Costa in the middle failed to touch the ball, the ball rushed to the back post at great speed, Saul subconsciously stretched out his foot to block the ball into the goal, but at this time he suddenly felt that he had lost his center of gravity, and Weigel behind him made a mistake and put him down in front of the goal directly by the shoulder.

The ball crossed in front of the goal, and no one touched it. Referee Kebers' whistle sounded at the same time.

This whistle was tantamount to a catastrophe for Weigel, who immediately held his head in his hands, made a pitiful look, and quickly ran to the referee to show his mistake. Hopefully, the referee will show mercy. The other Dortmund players did the same, quickly closing in on the referee. Stegel also got up from the dugout and ran to the fourth official to prove that the foul was unintentional.

But all the referee was interested in the result, and it was Weigl in the box who prevented Atletico's chance to score without being able to touch the ball.

No matter what Dortmund says about it, this is also a red card move, and there is no dispute about it.

When Dortmund's morale was very low, Atletico Madrid fans cheered Weigl off the field, undoubtedly sprinkling another handful of salt on the wound.

Spanish commentator Garcia said excitedly: "This penalty is enough to change the trend of the game!" As long as this penalty can be scored safely, Atletico Madrid will have almost one hand on the UEFA Super Cup this year. ”

He Wei and Xu Yang are full of expectations: "Weigel was sent off, Dortmund seems to be ready to make a substitution, at this time Stegger is most likely to strengthen the midfield, will Liang Xin have a chance?" ”

In terms of the order of the same position, under normal circumstances, it is not Liang Xin's turn, and Dortmund also has Rod and Castro, two pure defensive midfielders. If you want to strengthen the ability to play the ball in the back position and choose players with a certain offensive initiation ability, Liang Xin can't compare to Shahin. However, Stegel thought of Liang Xin's recent state and the conversation in training, and decided to give him a chance.

Compared with his appointment, the meritorious coach in the history of the Dortmund team, Klopp, who is known as the "madman", and Strygel is not so adventurous type, but this exception, perhaps Liang Xin's calmness before the game made him have a hunch that replacing this young man may reap miraculous results.

The broadcast camera focused on Liang Xin, who was walking towards the warm-up area, and He Wei's tone immediately increased twice: "If nothing else, Stegger's choice is to replace Liang Xin!" The first Chinese derby in the history of the European Super Cup will be ushered in! ”

The gold content of this Chinese derby can be said to be far greater than the Chinese derby between Sun Jihai and Li Tie in the Premier League, because the strength and competition platform of the two players are different, and fans all over the world will see the high-level confrontation between the two Chinese players. The UEFA Super Cup is the battle of the kings of European football, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the highest level of Chinese derby.

Antoine Griezmann easily deceived Weidenfeller and fired into the bottom right corner of the net to give Atletico a penalty to take the lead.

At the same time, Liang Xin also prepared for the event, assistant coach Heinrich was responsible for conveying tactics on behalf of the head coach, Liang Xin listened very carefully, and confirmed with a smile after listening: "Boss, you trust me so much? Then I can only do my best to do a good job, otherwise I'm really sorry for your trust. ”

Stegger and Heinrich looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Sure enough, the young people who have experienced the knockout round of the World Cup are different, although it is the first time to participate in the European Super Cup, but this calmness seems to be an insignificant small scene.

Both coaches are happy, and it seems that this choice has been done correctly.

With a faint smile, Stegel said to Liang Xin: "I can feel your confidence, it's good!" I know you've been looking forward to this game for a long time, and now the opportunity is right in front of you, grab it and go for it! ”

Liang Xin came on, and at the same time Stegel replaced Shinji Kagawa, there was no bright spot in the Japanese midfield today, and there were very few opportunities to get the ball, compared to Gotze and Pulisic, he had no presence on the field at all.

Borussia Dortmund, who were sent off, also changed their formation, looking more like a 4-2-1-2 position, with no change in the back four and two midfielders, with the former attacking striker Christian Pulisic moving closer to the front line and partnering Michy Batshuayi in a two-man attack. Götze sits alone in the middle of the midfield and serves as the team's attacking brain.

Before taking over Dortmund, Stegger had the experience of coaching the relegation team Cologne, and the coach who came out of the relegation team usually has a good set of motivating players and mobilizing the enthusiasm of players, but the biggest problem is that the tactical arrangement is conservative and cautious, such as now. If it is replaced by Klopp, it will definitely be a direct replacement of two people in a row, and Schurrle on the bench will be sent on the field to start fighting, but Stegel feels that he can wait.

Normally, the first half is not over yet, and this idea is also correct. But this situation of falling behind by one goal is an extreme dilemma in itself, and Stegel lacks courage at this time, and loses strategically.

Simeone was not in a hurry at all at this time, signaling Wen Zhihao to temporarily control the rhythm and kill the fighting spirit after the opponent's substitution.

Wen Zhihao learned the lesson of being black-footed in the opening game, and took the initiative to approach the three midfielders when he controlled the ball in the midfield, forming a triangular position, attacking and retreating, and always receiving and passing the ball in the up and down runs.

Liang Xin aimed at Wen Zhihao on the field for the first time, seeing that Atletico Madrid did not extend the offensive for the time being, and poured his feet back and forth in the middle and backfield, he took the initiative to raise his position and raise it up, and cooperated with the forward line to carry out high-level pressing on Atletico Madrid.

But he approached Wen Zhihao several times, and when he was about to break the ball with his feet, Wen Zhihao calmly passed the ball to his teammates, and then he knew where his center of gravity was, turned in the opposite direction, and slipped directly in front of him.

Liang Xin felt that he had been teased once or twice, and his anger also came up, at this time, he didn't care about his buddies and national team teammates on the other side, and pressed one hand directly on Wen Zhihao's shoulder, knocking Wen Zhihao to the ground without the ball.

This time it made Wen Zhihao suffer a big loss, referee Kai Bos saw the situation of the two people, but Wen Zhihao is not a team holder, his fall did not affect the normal operation of the ball, in order to ensure the fluency of the game, Kai Bos did not blow the penalty.

It wasn't until Michy Batshuayi knocked down Savic in a counter-attack in the front court that Kappers blew his whistle to stop and warn Batshuayi while also calling Liang Xin over with a verbal warning.

Liang Xin is very talented in acting, and said with an innocent face: "Mr. Referee, I just had a normal physical confrontation with him, and he fell to the ground just because the turf was too slippery." ”

When Wen Zhihao heard this, he glared at Liang Xin fiercely, and then appealed to the referee: "Yellow card!" Yellow! Mr. Referee, he just elbowed me from behind, and this kind of deliberate behavior doesn't mean that it's really inappropriate. ”

Kappers blocked the two with both hands, and then warned: "Listen, how to judge me is my own measure, I have the final say, if you get in my way, my red and yellow cards will not be recognized." ”

The two walked aside, and Wen Zhihao teased Liang Xin in a low voice: "Okay, you, you made the trick of black-footed me, right?" You kid has a set of killing! ”

"What's wrong with that? I think it's quite appropriate. ”

Liang Xin pointed to the yellow and black Dortmund jersey on his body, and then pointed to the red and white Atletico jersey on Wen Zhihao, with a wicked smile.
