Chapter 21 The home goal post is naughty

In the past 20 minutes of the game, there was not much difference in the ball possession ratio between the two sides. Bayern, who prefers to control the ball at their feet, has a slight advantage, leading Dortmund's 46% with 54% of the ball possession.

But the number of shots contributed was led by Borussia Dortmund at home, with four shots ahead of Bayern Munich's three shots.

The number of fouls is 6:5, and the home team has one more foul than the visiting team.

In terms of offside penalties, neither side has any, which means that both sides basically focus on defense and do not give the opponent a chance to counterattack quickly.

Robben and Olic of the visiting team are fast, while Cuba and Zidan of the home team are also fast, so they are very afraid of the opponent's quick counterattack.

Especially Bayern, they have only accumulated five points in the past four rounds, ranking twelfth in the league, the head coach Van Gaal is still cautious, otherwise he will be questioned by the Munich media and fans for the sake of reputation and future , only to wait for the second half of the wings to fly together.

Ribery has now returned from injury and is ready to play at any time, but under the advice of Dr. Wolfart, he still chooses to put Ribery on the bench relatively safely, and wait until the second half is in a stalemate before putting him on the court. Kill the game in one fell swoop!

The plan seems to be very good, but many times the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

At the twenty-seventh minute, Tang Zheng finally couldn't hold it anymore, he greeted Sven Bender and Kyle, and asked them to come to the middle to protect the space behind him, and then came to attack the 30-meter zone.

One must know that Tang Zheng has not come to attack the 30-meter zone in the past 20 minutes, so the Bayern players have developed inertial thinking and have been focusing on other Dortmund players.

Even Timoshchuk, who wanted to give Tang Zheng a look before the game, ignored this point, and didn't realize that something was wrong until Tang Zheng took the ball and broke into two meters.

But Tang Zheng didn't give him a chance to come up, and without a good chance to pass the ball, he chose to shoot from a long distance!

"Don——" German sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted, he opened his eyes wide and watched Tang Zheng, who was only a few meters away from the arc top of Bayern Munich's penalty area, rounded his thigh: "—Shoot!!"

"Wooooooooooooow—"

At the same time, 80,000 Dortmund fans cheered collectively.

"Boom—"

Even if the sound of the Westphalon Stadium is like a mountain roaring and a tsunami,

But Tang Zheng himself still heard the sound of hitting the ball between the inside of his right foot and the instep.

The strong sense of feedback makes him confident in his long shots!

give me--

go in! !

Tymoshchuk's down-to-the-ground block from the side seemed slow. He saw the football fly into the air and felt guilty.

Because... long shots are of high quality!

Budstuber and Van Buyten glanced at the height of the football and gave up jumping. They turned their heads to look at the goal...

Goalkeeper Bout saw the football coming and moved his feet immediately. When he felt the same, he pushed his left foot toe hard. The strong reaction force made him fly into the air. longer.

"Oops!"

Bout stretched his body in mid-air and felt that his momentum had come to an abrupt end, but he still didn't touch the football...

next moment.

"Boom!"

This voice was like the gospel from outside the sky, which lifted Boot's spirit.

The football hit the front of the right post and bounced back into the field.

Van Buyten reacted quickly, first stuck Zidan with his body, and then kicked the ball out of the baseline.

Duan Xuan, who was almost sitting in the best position in the broadcast booth, stood up abruptly from his seat, but the home goal post was weak, and he even blocked Tang Zheng's long-range shot. Going up, he said dejectedly: "Tang Zheng's long-range shot was rejected by the goalposts of the Westphalon Stadium, what a pity!"

There are not a few commentators who have the same reaction as Duan Xuan, and they are more or less lamenting the "eat the inside and the outside" of the home goal post. '

Immediately, a loud cry of regret erupted from the sky above the scene.

Tang Zheng, who missed the goal, covered his face with his hands speechlessly, then scratched his short, refined hair helplessly, and sighed.

This... the home goal post is a bit naughty.

Although this long-range shot did not score a goal, it was the most exciting shot contributed by both sides so far in this game.

Kyle, Kuba, and Sven Bender patted Tang Zheng's shoulders respectively to express comfort.

It is indeed a very sad thing for a home goal to be rejected by the goal post.

Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, was extremely fierce. He said excitedly: "What kind of goal post is this? Change the goal tomorrow!"

With lingering fears in his heart, Van Gaal quickly ran to the sidelines and loudly reminded Tymoshchuk, Altentop and Schweinsteiger in the middle to pay attention to the defense in the middle, and could no longer let Tang Zheng calmly shoot long shots from that position.

Next came Dortmund's corner kick, and Bayern's defense did not dare to neglect.

The average height of Tang Zheng, Hummels and Kyle is over 1.9 meters, so the Bayern players in the penalty area are very nervous.

They are all good headers, as long as there is a slight negligence, it will definitely cause irreparable losses.

Just because the gate post saved their lives just now, it doesn't mean that the gate post will save them for the rest of their lives.

Many things need to be solved through their own efforts.

In the past, most of Tang Zheng's goals in the river plate were scored with a header from the back. Van Gaal made corresponding preparations before the game. He asked the strong Van Buyten and Schweinsteiger to defend Tang Zheng together. Zheng.

Tang Zheng felt the pressure brought by Van Buyten and Schweinsteiger, so instead of standing still and waiting, his body made a feint, sometimes swaying forward and then backward, fighting wits and courage with them .

When Kuba, who took the corner kick, was running up, Tang Zheng, who was standing near the penalty spot, suddenly started and ran towards the right side of the small penalty area, which is the front point.

Van Buyten couldn't grab the jersey with his hands, but fortunately there were so many people in the penalty area, Tang Zheng had to bypass the players on both sides to get to the front.

At the same time, Kuba's corner kick was delivered.

Due to Tang Zheng's sudden advance, he attracted the defensive attention of many Bayern Munich players, so that the pressure on the Bayern defensive players in the middle of the goal increased greatly.

Kyle took the lead ten yards from the gate, and Budstuber, who was inexperienced, followed suit, so he regretted it when he jumped up.

At this time, Hummels, who was ambushing behind Kyle, jumped up and smashed the football flying in the air towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Bout's eyes were fixed, and he subconsciously made a block, but Hummels' header was powerful and tricky, so he failed to touch the football.

This time the goalposts failed to help Bayern Munich again as the ball crashed into the snow-white net and landed on the grass...

※※※

"Wooooooooooooooooooooow—"

When the football hit the net, all the home fans at the Westfalen Stadium roared with all their might, so that those temporary fans who came to the Westfalen Stadium for sightseeing felt a tsunami, and the ground shook. , as if coming to the epicenter of the earth.

Especially in the die-hard fan area of ​​the South Stand, their hard-fought celebration turned this stand into a sea of ​​yellow, which caused a particularly strong visual impact.

Even though Hummels, the goal scorer, belonged to Bayern Munich in the past, he was still very excited to score a goal, raising his arms and shouting.

Tang Zheng, who was playing a screen in front of the point, turned a corner, circled from behind the goal to Hummels, and hugged Hummels with his arms outstretched: "Great! Matz!"

The other teammates hugged Hummels equally excitedly, celebrating the goal.

Klopp opened his mouth excitedly, clenched his right fist iconically, and then hit it hard.

All the commentators in the on-site commentary focused on Hummels, even Duan Xuan, the commentator of the Central 5, but with the slow-motion playback, he turned his attention back to Tang Zheng, who was concerned by domestic fans. After all, part of the credit for Hummels' goal belongs to Tang Zheng.

Without Tang Zheng's sudden acceleration in the middle, Hummels in the middle would not easily get the chance to score a header without much pressure.

Falling behind in the away game, there are corresponding countermeasures in Van Gaal's emergency plan. The Bayern Munich players who regretted it did not appear to be in any panic.

The game continued, and the Dortmund players had a lead in the score, and they were a lot more excited, and even the success rate of defense was slowly increasing.

Hummels had struggled to face Gomez before, but his self-confidence has been greatly strengthened with the goal.

Coupled with his talent and ability, Gomez, who is obsessed with defense, has nothing to do.

Now Robben is basically useless, and last season's Bundesliga Bronze Boots winner Gomez was jointly restricted by Hummels and Subotic.

Olic is very fast, but the technique at his feet seems a bit rough. Facing the wolf-like Dortmund defenders, he can only give up his strong ideas.

In the process of switching from offense to defense, Tang Zheng launched two counterattacks with long passes, but Kuba and Zidan's reactions were a bit slower, and they were cleared by Lahm and Van Buyten, who had better positions.

Tang Zheng shook his head, it was still caused by insufficient tacit understanding.

If Bonannot or Falcao are playing wingers, they will find space the moment they get the ball, instead of looking at the direction of the ball like Cuba and Zidan before running.

Because by the time they determine the direction of football development, the Bayern Munich players on the defensive side will be ready.

Klopp also felt the same way. Although Tang Zheng's counterattack with a long pass had some conflicts with Dortmund's tactics, but most football games need changes.

Only changes will make it difficult for the opponent to recruit, besides, Tang Zheng's long pass is of high quality, it is the kind of long pass that is conducive to the counterattacker to get the ball, so he sighed.

This is the reason for the lack of tacit understanding.

In other words, Qi Dan, Kuba and Tang Zheng haven't had any calls yet.

Van Gaal was very insightful, realizing that Tang Zheng had directly launched a counterattack with a long pass, he made a subtle gesture towards the back line.

As a result, the next two long pass counterattacks made Dortmund's offensive players fall into an offside trap.

So Tang Zheng had no choice but to control the rhythm and choose to attack step by step.
