Players from both sides lined up in two rows in the player channel of the Veltins Arena, each holding the small hand of the ball boy, staring ahead with both eyes, waiting for the referee to lead the entry. ??

In today's league match, the on-site director paid special attention to Tang Zheng who was wearing the captain's armband.

The Ruhr Derby had endless topics to talk about, and now Tang Zheng was wearing the captain's armband. The commentator sitting in the commentary seat was talking about the grievances between the two sides of the game, and at the same time deliberately explained that the captain on the field appeared in Fairfield. Tang Zheng at the Tins Arena.

"Shhhhhhh—"

When Tang Zheng followed the on-duty referee from the player tunnel to the stadium, the Veltins Arena erupted with loud boos, and the whole stadium seemed to tremble slightly at this moment, even causing some fans to feel an earthquake Sense of sight.

Tang Zheng's mentality was very strong, feeling the frenzied atmosphere coming towards him, he held his chest high and faced the Schalke fans who kept spitting foul language.

During his time at River Plate, Tang Zheng had been the field captain, and now he changed to Dortmund's field captain without much emotion.

If there is any difference, it is that he can feel the tightness of his left arm.

This sense of tightness is not just a physical feeling, but more from a feeling called responsibility.

After a series of necessary ceremonies before the game, the focus of the fourth round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season kicked off at the Veltins Arena.

"CCTV, CCTV, now we are broadcasting for you the live broadcast of the fourth round of the 2010-11 Bundesliga season between Schalke O4 and Dortmund at home. The ones wearing yellow jerseys and black shorts are visiting Dortmund. They come from the left side of the screen. Attacking from the right side, the home team Schalke O4 in blue jersey and white shorts, they attack from the right side of the screen to the left..."

Accompanied by the whistle of the referee, Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV 5, gave a standard commentary line for the live broadcast of CCTV games.

After passing the football continuously, it came to Tang Zheng's feet outside the arc top of the middle circle.

The forwards Raul and Huntelaar, who played for Real Madrid, rushed towards Tang Zheng from left to right, trying to steal the ball at the beginning of the game to fight back.

Tang Zheng's field of vision was broad, he stepped on the football calmly, and only made a move when the distance between Raul and Huntelaar was two meters away.

He first stepped on the football with his right foot and pulled it back to widen the defensive distance between each other. At the same time, he leaned to the left, making the illusion that he was going to take the ball and break through on the left, and tricked Raul and Huntelaar into a turn small bend.

Then the inside of the instep of the left foot gently buckled the ball to the right, and Raul and Huntelaar stretched their left and right feet forward at the same time in an attempt to steal the ball.

"Aww-"

Schalke O4 in the stands then made a loud noise, trying to interfere with Tang Zheng who was holding the ball.

But Tang Zheng was unmoved, he followed his dribbling rhythm to connect the arch of his right foot and pushed the ball forward, Raul and Huntelaar who stretched their feet were half a beat behind.

Tang Zheng started on the spot, and rushed between Raul and Huntelaar, like a flood breaking through a dam, rushing over.

Fried meatballs!

Huntelaar was young and quick to react, he stretched out his foot to kick Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng was very powerful, he just touched Tang Zheng's feet dragging behind, Tang Zheng didn't fall to the ground because of this, he staggered towards Front dribbling.

Seeing that Tang Zheng did not choose to fall to the ground, the referee made a gesture to continue the game.

Farfan took the initiative to rush towards the unstable Tang Zheng, hoping to complete this defense.

But Tang Zheng didn't give him a chance, he used the outside instep of his right foot to send the ball to the foot of Owomoyela at the far end during the process of adjusting his center of gravity, and then continued to move forward.

The whole situation also became suddenly clear, and Schalke's O4 defensive center of gravity had to be biased to the left.

The attention of the double defensive midfielders Rakitic and Kruger did not shift with the transfer of football. The stronger Kruger is responsible for marking Tang Zheng.

And this obvious division of labor and cooperation also made obvious contributions to the next defense.

After continuous conduction of the football, Gotze chose to cross from the right at 45 degrees. Kruger insisted on clinging to Tang Zheng with his steely will under the condition of insufficient body tonnage, so that his head-shaking attack at the penalty spot The goal was not strong, and the football was easily held by Neuer in his arms.

In this game, Schalke o4 played a 4213 lineup that they rarely used, but judging from the offensive and defensive positions after the start of the game, this is a variant of the 423 lineup.

On the two wings are Farfan and Romanian winger Dick, the experienced Raul plays the midfielder in the center, and Huntelaar is at the front.

According to Magath's pre-match deployment, he made this arrangement to open the side channel to provide Huntelaar or Raul with a chance to shoot.

But in many cases, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Tang Zheng, who plays the main attacking midfielder, runs erratically. great opportunity.

Even in the eighth minute of the game, Tang Zheng gave Raul a blow.

Raul, who received the football, was a little procrastinated in handling the ball. Tang Zheng decisively threw a shovel to the side. Raul, who was unable to react in time, was kicked to the ground by Tang Zheng.

Since the referee on duty saw that Tang Zheng hit the football first, Raul was kicked down by inertia, so the whistle was not blown.

Immediately after, Tang Zheng got up and roared loudly at Raul.

The Veltins Arena was very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng's behavior, so much so that boos once again erupted from the stadium, and were given to Tang Zheng who was the referee and fouled.

Magath, who was very depressed standing on the sidelines, seemed extremely angry. He kept shaking his arms to protest the penalty.

The live director's shot was sent to the sidelines. German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said: "Schalke o4 last season performed well after losing the Ruhr Derby and ranked second in the league at the end of the season. This year In the summer, they spent huge sums of money to bring in many players in order to improve their results. However, Schalke O4 has lost all the past four games. The pressure on the head coach Magath can be imagined, but it is also understandable. This leak..."

Dortmund coach Klopp seemed very calm, with his hands in his trouser pockets, pacing back and forth in his own technical command area.

Raul, who was already thirty-three years old this year, became a lot more 'behaved' after Tang Zheng's shaming. He consciously reduced dribbling and increased passing, especially when facing Tang Zheng.

Rakitic, the core midfielder of Schalke O4, is a transfer master, but his continuous transfer did not play a good role.

After Shaheen and Sven Bender defended the two flanks, Tang Zheng was able to make up for the defensive space at the front of the penalty area very well. Coupled with Gotze and Gross Kreutz's running without hesitation, making the The team's overall defense is very solid.

※※※

In the 20th minute of the game, Klopp took advantage of a dead ball to make a subtle gesture towards Tang Zheng, signaling him to increase the forward pressure.

It just so happened that during this period of time, Schalke's o4 seemed a little careless in the continuous attack and could not open the situation, and the defense speed was not timely enough.

Tang Zheng's long pass in the 30-meter area of ​​defense on his own side accurately found Barrios who was going forward. If it weren't for the excellent performance of German goalkeeper Neuer, Barrios' shot from the penalty area line would have been impossible. Kick the goal.

After this crisis from offense to defense, Magath roared loudly at the players on the field, signaling that the players should be more active in returning to defense, and at the same time pay attention to Tang Zheng, don't let him easily get the chance to handle the ball.

Dortmund, who gradually strengthened their offensive, had wave after wave of offense, feeling overwhelmed.

Witnessing that Schalke o4 suffered four consecutive defeats in various competitions, the Schalke fans in the stands seemed a little worried about gains and losses, for fear that the team would lose a goal if they did not do well in any link.

They have felt it countless times in the past four games, so they don't want to have a fifth time.

Goalkeeper Neuer was very focused during this period of time. While directing his teammates to defend, he also had to beware of Dortmund players suddenly shooting cold arrows at the front of the penalty area.

Tang Zheng, Shaheen, Gotze, and Barrios all had certain long-range shooting abilities, so he had to guard against them, especially Tang Zheng.

He would blush at the sound of the lob in the Ruhr Derby last season.

How embarrassing!

Dortmund's offense is very layered, so Schalke's O4 defense is a little hard to defend.

However, Klopp was still a little dissatisfied with the team's offense. He took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to put his hands together and shouted at Tang Zheng, and then made a gesture to strengthen the high-position press.

Next, Dortmund used Tang Zheng as a high-post press to start in the backcourt of Schalke's O4.

Rakitic's foot skills are very good, his vision is wide, and his long pass ability is outstanding. He is the well-deserved core midfielder of Schalke O4, and his status is comparable to that of Tang Zheng in Dortmund.

So Schalke's o4 transition from defense to offense will be handed over to him to organize, and it's the same this time.

Höwedes cuts off the ball from Gotze to Barrios, and then without hesitation passes it to Rakitic who opens up the space.

At the same time, Tang Zheng, Gotze and Shaheen suddenly rushed towards Rakitic who was holding the ball.

Rakitic has a wide vision and a clear mind. He noticed that the Dortmund players on the two ribs were attacking, while the full-back Sarpe and the central defender Hewedes were marked by Owomoyela and Barrios. People can pass it on.

What should I do?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Grabbing two ribs, there must be no one behind!

Thinking of this, Rakitic pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot.

But after doing this action, he regretted it, Shaxin was still hidden behind Tang Zheng and Goce who went up at the same time!

Shaheen used the arch of his right foot to buckle the ball to the left of his body, and Rakitic, who had completed a half-turn, realized that the football was gone!

"Ooh-oh--"

The Veltins Arena erupted with loud exclamations.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted: "Beautiful! Dortmund's high pressing is beginning to pay off, they steal the ball in the frontcourt!!" 8
