Chapter 102: Liberating Tang Zheng

Borussia Dortmund, sitting at home, has the strongest lineup. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, four defenders are Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels and Owomoyela, and the double midfielder partner is Tang Zheng and Kyle. ?

On the two wings are Gross Kreutz and Kuba, the front midfielder is Gotze, who will only turn 18 next month, and Barrios is at the top.

The reason why Klopp sent this lineup is mainly because this lineup is relatively stable. Lewandowski, Piszczek and Shinji Kagawa who joined this summer have not yet adapted to the team's tactics. It is very risky to play in the championship game.

To be on the safe side, it is still on the bench.

Bayern Munich has no signings this summer, and the lineup is the strongest lineup that can be sent at present.

Due to Van Buyten's injury, Budstuber, who is capable of serving as a central defender, will partner with Demichelis. The left back will be played by Contento, and the right back will still be Ram.

The midfield partners are Schweinsteiger and Planic, Altentop and Olic respectively replace Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben who are absent due to injury and on vacation.

At the forefront is the German international Miroslav Klose, who performed well in this year's World Cup, and South African World Cup Golden Boot winner Muller as the second striker.

This game can be described as full of highlights. Last season, Muller regrettably lost to Tang Zheng in the Bundesliga best rookie competition. However, his performance in the World Cup in South Africa this summer was exceptionally eye-catching, and he was one of the absolute contributors to Germany's promotion to the semi-finals.

In a sense, the outcome of this game will be decided by the two.

It just so happens that Tang Zheng's position in this game is the familiar midfielder position, and he will have more direct confrontations with Muller in this game.

There is no doubt that Bayern Munich without Robben and Ribery is much less threatening on the wing, but because Klose and Muller are in excellent form this summer, Dortmund's central defense will be very tight.

It is also understandable why Klopp put Shaheen, who is stronger in offense than defense, on the bench. He is completely afraid of Bayern's penetration in the middle.

Five minutes into the game, both sides played more cautiously.

Tang Zheng's position was a bit late, and the offensive organization in the frontcourt relied more on the young Gotze. At most, he was used as an offensive and defensive hub to play a timely transfer and transition role.

Not obvious, but very important to Dortmund's overall offense and defense.

As the game time passed, Tang Zheng was influenced by the fans at the Westfalen Stadium, and his forward pressure gradually increased.

Regarding Tang Zheng's changes on the field, Klopp did not stop him, but rather looked forward to what kind of role Tang Zheng would play in the next attack.

Gotze's foot skills are very good, his mind is clear, and he knows that his physical resistance is insufficient, and he will often hand it over to his teammates before the opponent pounces.

In the eighth minute of the game, Gotze organized the attack with the ball in the frontcourt. After attracting the defense of Schweinsteiger and Planic, he seemed to have eyes behind his head, and flicked the ball to the right with the outer instep of his right foot. .

Tang Zheng, who jumped in from behind, took the ball forward and led it forward. Planic and Schweinsteiger stretched their legs a little slower, and they didn't touch anything!

Facing Budstuber's forward defense, Tang Zheng swung his right foot without hesitation at the top of the penalty area.

"Boom~"

In the past Tang Zheng's long shots were known for their speed and strength, so Budstuber used his back to expand the defensive area and block the shot.

But Tang Zheng's long shot didn't leave the ground this time, but stuck to the turf.

The football sprinted high against the turf towards the far corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Kraft's left foot bounced off like a spring compressed to the extreme.

It is a pity that his left fingertips did not touch the football, and the football continued to run towards the far corner.

"Aww-"

At the same time, huge cheers erupted from the Westfalenstadion, ready to welcome the goal!

However, at the next moment, the football rubbed against the outer edge of the far post of the goal and rolled out of the baseline.

Crash into the billboard outside the arena.

The shouts in the stands then turned into a tsunami-like lamentation: "——Whoa!!"

German sky commentator Marcel Leff looked at Tang Zheng on the screen and sighed: "It's a pity! Tang's attack from the rear this time is simple and efficient! It's just that his shot is too pursuit of angle, so the As for the football going wide of the goal..."

Duan Xuan, the commentator of Central 5, said: "The most threatening offense in the German Cup in 2o10 came from Tang Zheng! Although this long shot from the front of the penalty area failed to help the team score, it can be seen that his game state is very good. Excellent! The defense is impeccable, the offense is very threatening, I think... Dortmund at home will have a good chance of winning the first championship of the season!"

"Tang Zheng, who became the third captain of Dortmund this summer, has lived up to the team's expectations of him. This shot alone is worth the highest salary in Dortmund!" said guest commentator Xu Yang.

Bayern head coach Van Gaal couldn't sit still anymore. He came to the sidelines and reminded Schweinsteiger and Planic loudly, telling them not to pay too much attention to Gotze and pay attention to Tang Zheng's aftermath. Plug in, he is the core of Dortmund's offense!

But Tang Zheng appeared to be quite low-key in the next game, he didn't directly participate in the offense when he moved forward, he used active running to play for his teammates.

Schweinsteiger and Planic put so much attention on Tang Zheng's side that they neglected Gotze.

In the 17th minute, Gotze created a murderous intention at the front of the penalty area.

After receiving the pass from Gross Kreuz, Tang Zheng made an illusion that his upper body was swaying forward, tricking Schweinsteiger into receding the center of gravity of his body, and then suddenly moved the ball to the right. Dial, Planic had to step forward to interfere.

As a result, Tang Zheng pushed the arch of his foot lightly, and the football slipped between his legs.

Goetze, who bypassed the double defensive midfielder, got the ball and faced the double central defenders Demichelis and Budstuber directly.

Budstuber has been playing as a full-back last season. His sense of position is not strong, and his tacit understanding with Demichelis is not enough. He chooses to defend Goetze forward.

At this moment, each of them suddenly picked a pass behind, and the right forward Kuba inserted into the penalty area from the front of the ribs.

The left-back Contento was obviously underprepared, and he was left behind by Kuba.

Demichelis moved laterally to cover with Budstuber moving forward and not in position.

Kuba led the ball forward, and then quickly swept the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Demichelis, who was supplementing the defense, just fell to the ground and stretched his legs subconsciously because the distance was too close, but he didn't touch the football.

Barrios, who was unmarked in the middle of the penalty area, fell to the ground and stretched his legs to poke the ball into the far corner of the goal.

※※※

"Aww-"

With Barrios stretching his leg in front of the goal and stabbing the ball into the goal, there were huge cheers at the Westfalen Stadium.

After scoring the goal, Barrios got up from the ground and rushed towards Kuba. At the same time, he waved to Gotze and Tang Zheng, signaling to celebrate his side's goal together.

Standing on the sidelines, Dortmund coach Klopp raised his arms and shouted excitedly, and once again became the darling of the on-site director's attention.

Not far away, Bayern coach Van Gaal kicked the water bottle at his feet angrily, venting his dissatisfaction with the conceded goal.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he had no complaints about the conceded goal. After all, it was he who asked Schweinsteiger and Planic to pay attention to Tang Zheng's movements, which caused Gotze and other Dortmund players to be treated negligently. .

The absence of Robben and Ribery made the tactics of this game extremely monotonous.

It just so happens that Dortmund facing Bayern is the strongest Dortmund.

It's really harder than climbing to the sky to make a comeback at the Westfalenstadion!

The game restarted, and Van Gaal signaled Thomas Muller to go deeper in the defensive stage to relieve the team's defensive pressure.

But this change didn't have a very good effect. On the contrary, Muller's excessive recovery gave Tang Zheng more space to attack forward.

The reason why Klopp arranged Tang Zheng in the midfielder position was entirely because he was afraid of the advantage that Muller would give Bayern in the attack.

Now Van Gaal let Muller take back for the safety of the defensive end, which is tantamount to liberating Tang Zheng.

Originally according to Klopp's plan, he would wait until Shaheen was replaced in the second half and then release Tang Zheng. Unexpectedly, Van Gaal was such a good guy who took the initiative to enrich Dortmund's offense through changes.

The liberated Tang Zheng participated more in the team's offense, forming wave after wave of offense in Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion.

Last season's Bundesliga Champions League German Cup champion Dortmund was ravaged in their own half.

At the same time, under Tang Zheng's organization, every time the ball is lost, it will form an effective high-position press, forming a second attack in the frontcourt, reducing the physical loss caused by running back and forth.

Klopp saw Dortmund's advantage on the field.

Slowly, he realized how to make up that lineup to perfection.

Effective high pressing can greatly reduce the chances of counter-attacking.

At the same time, an effective high-position press can also increase the efficiency of your own goal.

Now Barcelona, ​​the most beautiful player in Europe, is using a high-position press in the frontcourt to form absolute control of the game.

But Dortmund coached by Klopp does not have as good foot skills as Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona's style of play relies too much on ball possession, resulting in too much ball possession being useless.

Dortmund's style of play will be more aggressive and practical, so as to play a smooth attack.

A perfect set of tactics began to form effectively in Klopp's mind.

During this period of the game, Bayern Munich, which paid too much attention to defense, did not concede a goal again.

It's just that this style of play has lost the prestige of the Bundesliga champions, making the Bayern fans in the stands see no hope of winning.

Originally, the absence of Robben and Ribery seriously affected the team's offense, but now they voluntarily give up offense and focus on defense, which is completely equivalent to offering the Super Cup champion with both hands.

When the whistle sounded at the end of half-time, the scoreboard at Westfalenstadion showed a score of 1:0.

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back. 8
