Twenty minutes into the game, the referee finally realized that he could no longer make soft whistles, otherwise this game would become an indelible black history in his law enforcement career.

In the next few fouls, the referee continuously showed yellow cards to both players, whether it was a tactical foul or an intentional foul, all yellow cards.

Of course, directly giving a yellow card cannot calm both sides.

Before giving the yellow card, the referee called the players who were in physical contact to his side, then gave the basis for the penalty, and finally sent the yellow card, which is tantamount to convincing them.

Slowly, the game got back on track, and players from both sides began to pay more attention to the game.

The hot scenes like before did not appear again, and Klopp and Magath did not stand on the sidelines to swear frequently. They focused more on how to break through the opponent's defense and solve their own offensive problems.

In the past 20 minutes of the game, neither side has contributed a better quality offense, which means that neither side has had a shot hit the goal frame.

In the words of Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, it is: "If this situation continues, I am worried that Neuer and Weidenfeller will fall asleep in Westphalia."

Two minutes later, Klopp shouted at Tang Zheng on the field: "You and Nuri have to take turns to step forward and participate in the attack. Don't stand too rigidly. Be flexible. If the situation permits, you can shoot from a long distance."

Tang Zheng waved at Klopp to show that he understood, and then walked towards Shaheen: "Nuri, our division of labor must be more detailed, otherwise the team's offense will be difficult to play with a sense of hierarchy."

"You are in charge of the connection between the midfield and the front field during this period, and I will be in charge of sweeping and distributing the ball. How about it?" Shaheen suggested.

Tang Zheng had sensed Shaheen's signal of goodwill before, so he didn't feel any surprise, so he nodded.

Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't know what happened to Tang Zheng and Shaheen, but he found that the two had a clear division of labor on the field, which was a very good signal.

If Tang Zheng and Shaxin, whose division of labor is not clear, are 1+1=2, then it is definitely greater than two now.

Tang Zheng pressed forward, directly relieving Hajnaur's organizational pressure, and at the same time caused Schalke 04 to suddenly increase the defensive pressure at the front of the penalty area.

The increase in ball-holding points in the frontcourt also allows the two wide players to press forward boldly, and even the full-backs can reach the winger's position.

Schalke 04's defensive pressure increased, and coach Magath could no longer sit still. He walked to the sidelines and signaled Farfan, who was on the front line, to come back to assist the midfield defense.

Schalke 04, who originally had a three-five-two formation, instantly became a three-six formation. There was one more midfielder, and the space was used. At the same time, it also restricted the movement space of Dortmund's frontcourt players.

Among them, Hajnaur is the most restricted. His ability is acceptable, but his physical confrontation is a bit weak. When there are few people, he can use his excellent foot skills and flexible body to create opportunities. However, with the increase in the number of midfielders, His activity space was compressed to the extreme.

For this, Tang Zheng had no choice but to increase his room for action.

In order to revitalize the team's offense, Tang Zheng left his thermal image marks on almost every position in the frontcourt.

Through the effect brought about by the change of formation on the field, Magath returned to the coaching bench with satisfaction and raised his legs.

The three-six-one formation looks negative, but it is actually a huge threat. As long as a steal is formed, the three-six-one can instantly become a three-four-three.

With the frequent insertion of Dortmund's two full-backs, he believes that the effect of the counterattack will increase geometrically.

However, the subsequent development seemed to be somewhat beyond Magath's expectations, because Tang Zheng connected with Dortmund's overall attack through his running, and he never passed the ball blindly unless the opportunity was good.

Shaheen is responsible for protecting and distributing the ball to the wing behind him, and the two have a clear division of labor.

Coupled with the fact that two crosses from the wing were cleared, Tang Zheng had a very high success rate in scrambling for the second spot, so that Schalke 04 seemed very passive in these few minutes, as if they were conducting a half-court offensive and defensive drill.

Seeing this, Magath shook his head, not buying Tang Zheng this summer was a bit of a loss.

If it wasn't for his face, he would have invited him in person like Klopp.

Hey……

Pity.

※※※

Tang Zheng involved Schalke 04's defense by running continuously, but he failed to find a suitable pass point. Forward Barrios was double-teamed in the penalty area, and Hajnaur was lost in the meat grinder.

So he decided to try the feeling of long-range shots. In the face of dense defense, apart from set-pieces, long-range shots are the only ones!

In the 30th minute of the match, Tang Zheng stopped the football in a very comfortable position, and Rafinha chose to play from behind.

But Tang Zheng fought with his left arm. Rafinia, whose arm was not long enough, was ruthlessly blocked by Tang Zheng, and then rushed to complete a long shot before Hewedes came up.

The football flew into the air with a 'boom' sound, and Höwedes's outstretched left foot did not touch the football.

I saw Neuer, the No. 2 goalkeeper of the German national team in front of the goal, diving sideways, and gently rubbed the football flying towards him with the fingers of his left hand.

It was just such a light touch that changed the trajectory of the football and flew out of the baseline by rubbing against the outer edge of the far right goal post.

corner kick!

"Ooh-oh--"

A loud cry of regret erupted from the sky above the Westphalon Stadium.

After Neuer got up from the ground, he was very angry. He took a few steps forward and shouted at his teammates: "Pay attention to the protection at the front of the penalty area, don't let them kick easily!"

It takes a certain amount of luck to score from a long shot, but Neuer is not sure that Dortmund's long shot will not be a dog-shit luck next time. Besides, he is not able to save the ball every time, and the only way to stop losing the ball It is to limit the opponent's kick.

Rafinha and Hewedes waved to Neuer to show that they understood.

In the next corner kick, Tang Zheng received a pass from Hajnaul in the middle of the penalty area, but unfortunately he didn't use his power under the interference of Howedes, and the football was easily confiscated by Neuer.

Neuer, who held the football with both hands, did not drive or throw the ball with his big feet. He patted the football a few times and consciously controlled the rhythm of the field.

At this time, Tang Zheng ran back while looking at Neuer, preventing him from throwing the ball with his hands or counterattacking with his big feet.

When he reached Shaheen, he stopped, stretched out his right hand and turned his head and said: "Nuri, you attack forward, I will defend and distribute the ball."

Shaxin stretched out his hand to meet Tang Zheng, and nodded.

This scene happened to be seen by the head coach Klopp, and there was a rare smile on his tense face.

The coexistence of Tang Zheng and Shaheen is his ideal midfield partner. The vice-captain Kyle has the ability, but it is too limited to defense, and the offensive ability is limited. At most, he can only work part-time as a metronome.

Tang Zheng and Shaxin are different, they not only have good defensive ability, but also have strong offensive ability.

Especially Tang Zheng, he always felt that there was still potential to be tapped.

Of course, Kyle's defensive ferocity is something they don't have.

It's just his vitreous physique that severely limits his playing time on this team.

※※※

Shaheen is very spiritual in terms of offense, but his body is not strong enough, and he doesn't like frequent physical confrontation, which is very different from Tang Zheng.

His weakness can easily cause the ball to be lost, but his excellent foot skills are also used well, at least in many cases it seems that he is about to lose the ball but he can still control the football well.

But the Schalke 04 players took advantage of the large number of players in the middle to seek frequent physical contact, starting from the off-ball stage.

Previously, Tang Zheng could compete with the tough Schalke 04 players with his good physical fitness, but Shaxin did not have Tang Zheng's physical fitness.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng's protection was very good, he was able to make an accurate judgment the moment Shaheen lost the ball, and he failed to make Schalke 04 fight back on the spot.

Next, Shaheen consciously reduced the number of times he dribbled forward, and he sought cooperation.

As time passed, the number of times Tang Zheng got the football gradually increased. Instead of giving the ball to Shaheen or Hayinauer, he passed the ball to the two sides to make use of the width of the pitch.

Frequent passes and receptions in the middle have made Schalke 04 familiar with Dortmund's offensive routines. It is not a wise choice to continue to choose a strong attack in the middle.

The combination of borders and China is the kingly way!

Klopp gave Tang Zheng a high thumbs up for his choice, because it was the best choice Tang Zheng made himself through the game situation.

"Tang's reading competition ability is really strong!"

Michael Reti, who has served ZDF for many years, praised it.

Seeing the kick from the side, Tang Zheng subconsciously wanted to go forward into the penalty area to fight for the top, but thought that Shaheen had already gone to the front, and there was no one behind him to protect him, so he gave up this idea.

Now I still have a yellow card on my back, and if there is a slight difference, it will not be fun if two yellows turn into one red.

With Shaheen and Hayinauer frequently passing the ball to Tang Zheng, his handling of the ball is extremely important.

At this time, his precise ability to transfer the ball was perfectly reflected in this Ruhr Derby.

It wasn't until this moment that Klopp realized that Tang Zheng was famous for his precise long pass and scheduling in the early days of his debut.

He wondered if it would be better if the early counterattack tactics of River Plate were copied in Dortmund?

Kuba and Gross Cruz are both fast and good players in counterattacks.

Soon, he rejected this idea.

This style of play is too monotonous, and you can try it against a strong team, but it is not necessary in the general Bundesliga, especially in the Westfalun Stadium. There is a serious conflict between his coaching philosophy.

Only now, Klopp's position on Tang Zheng has become blurred again.

Except for the relatively difficult playing of the front midfielder, every position in the midfield is more than flexible.

Headache.

While Klopp was in deep thought, Tang Zheng got the football and pretended to cooperate with Shaheen, but he pulled the ball back with his foot, and quickly kicked a long pass to his side to attack the right.

Kuba's cutting position left the forward right back Owo Moyela unmarked!
