Chapter 118: Long pass from outside instep

Sevilla is the strongest opponent Dortmund has encountered since the European War. The two sides have no record of fighting in the past, so the media's evaluation of the game is also ambiguous, and it is impossible to see who is stronger or weaker. ???

But from the perspective of league performance, Dortmund is undoubtedly better.

Considering the next domestic league in the Europa League, many Dortmund players have stayed strong, because they will usher in Bayern Munich, which is about to rebound strongly after the Europa League ends.

In addition, the start of the Europa League has always been after the Champions League match day. In the case of Dortmund's home game against Bayern Munich, Dortmund will have one day less rest than Bayern Munich.

In crucial games, the problem of taking one more day off and one less day off is obvious.

Although Klopp repeatedly told the players not to pay too much attention to Bayern before the game, the subconscious of the players will still have reservations.

Bayern Munich remained unbeaten in the past 2oo9-2o1o season, and they all want to continue this glorious tradition in the new 2o1o-2o11 season.

It just so happens that this kind of subtlety makes the Dortmund players a little worried about gains and losses, which leads to lack of concentration in the game.

As Fabiano's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area was blocked by Tang Zheng, he fell to the ground and blocked the sideline. With his right hand, he grabbed the captain's armband tightly wrapped around his left arm, and then roared loudly at his teammate who was not in good condition. : "Remember our goals for the new season?"

The teammates looked at Tang Zheng one after another, they were slightly taken aback, and countless question marks popped up on their foreheads.

But what Tang Zheng said next made them realize something.

"Let me focus on the game, now is the game! Don't think too far! The opponent we need to win first is Sevilla, not Bayern Munich!!"

Tang Zheng spoke so loudly that the players in Dortmund's defense zone could hear them clearly.

Normally, Tang Zheng gave them the feeling that he was very talkative, especially loyal, and would usually stand up immediately when encountering opponents' behavior and revenge in games. In addition, he is now the team's veritable number one star. The right to speak is very important, so his teammates will listen to what he says, and it is still the same this time.

Ten minutes into the game, coach Klopp was dissatisfied with the players' performance.

Logically speaking, they should have an absolute advantage sitting at the Westfalen Stadium, but since the start of the game, it is the visiting team Sevilla who has taken the initiative.

If it wasn't for Tang Zheng's outstanding performance in these ten minutes, the team would have fallen behind.

Ever since Tang Zheng scored consecutive goals and assists in the German National Derby and the Ruhr Derby, many media have already made many media forget that his housekeeping skill is actually defense. Even Sevilla, who is a guest, has also ignored it.

The key task Antonio Alvarez deployed before the game was to limit Tang Zheng's ability to play in the offense. As for the offensive end, the specificity was not obvious, but the extremely fast Navas was required to focus on attacking the left flank guarded by Schmelzer. .

However, Tang Zheng continuously appeared in key defensive positions when the overall performance of Dortmund's defense was sluggish, which made him realize that Tang Zheng's defensive awareness was not inferior to his offensive ability.

Just when Klopp was about to say something to the players on the field, the team gradually returned to normal under Tang Zheng's roar.

Seeing Tang Zheng who had finished sliding the shovel again, Klopp nodded secretly.

Just now because the distance was too far, he didn't hear what Tang Zheng said, but he could guess a general idea.

This... is the reason why he advocated making Tang Zheng the team's third captain.

※※※

As the Dortmund players at home returned to normal, the Sevilla players who had been taking the initiative before felt a little tight, and they played more and more uncomfortable.

Dortmund's defensive strategy in the Bundesliga is to form parts by moving quickly with each other to prevent more and less, so as to effectively cut the pass and directly steal the ball.

The Sevilla players had a feeling that they were facing Barcelona instead of Dortmund when they switched from defense to attack.

In fact, there is a big difference between the two teams. Barcelona's high press is for possession of the ball, while Dortmund's high press is for efficient counterattacks.

Therefore, the Sevilla players are very tired from playing. They are often forced to step up when they switch from offense to defense, and their excessive relaxation leads to wrong rhythm.

Slowly, under the fanatical atmosphere of Westphalia 1un, Dortmund organized wave after wave of effective offensives.

The Dortmund fans in the stands were particularly excited, and they burst into cheers one after another.

The performance of the fans and the performance of the players complement each other. Now that the team is performing well, there is no reason for the fans to perform poorly.

In particular, the team's recent performance has been extremely good and must be praised.

Antonio Alvarez stood on the sidelines pacing back and forth, and looked up at the court from time to time, the worry on his brow was very obvious.

The on-site director took an opportunity to switch the camera and paid special attention to the Sevilla coach.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said with a smile: "After the slump in the first ten minutes of the game, Dortmund returned to a familiar offensive and defensive rhythm. I think... this is exactly what Sevilla coach Antonio Alvarez said. things to worry about."

The implication is that Dortmund has returned to its own game rhythm, and Sevilla will be in trouble next!

really!

Tang Zheng received Barrios' header back from outside the penalty area, and then volleyed without stopping the ball!

"Boom~"

The football made a crisp muffled sound.

Central defender Navarro flew to block and did not touch the football. The football slid an obvious arc in mid-air and flew towards the goal!

Goalkeeper Palop looked at the football hanging straight to the dead corner of the goal and even gave up saving. He turned his head to prevent the football from leaving his sight.

"Boom!"

The football with an obvious outer arc did not hit the snow-white net, but hit the outer edge of the post on the right side of the goal and went out of the baseline.

"Ooh-oh--"

The Dortmund fans who raised their arms high and prepared to celebrate the goal had to change their voices, and then the whole stadium sounded like a tsunami of regret, sweeping the entire stadium.

With lingering fear, Palop yelled at his teammates at the back: "Concentrate on me, don't let Tang get a chance to kick! His long-range shooting ability is strong!!"

Tang Zheng covered his mouth with regret, his eyes were rounded, and he rolled his eyes at the home goalposts——to eat inside and out!

The goalkeeper of Sevilla spoke Spanish, his mother tongue, and Tang Zheng could hear it clearly. It was a pity that he had accepted the reality after a short period of psychological adjustment, and grinned at the same time.

If you really pay too much attention to your own performance, then the team is not far from breaking the goal.

※※※

Twenty minutes into the game, the score remained unchanged.

As a guest of Sevilla, as Dortmund's offensive and defensive rhythms accelerated, they played more and more low-key, shifting from focusing on offense to defense.

Moreover, Sevilla paid extra attention to Tang Zheng, which made Dortmund's attack always feel less inspired.

The existence of Sven Bender is to sweep the midfield. In the final analysis, he is a blue-collar worker who does dirty work. Shaheen's back-and-forth and transfer of the ball are indeed impressive, but his long-range shooting skills are not as good as Tang Zheng's. It's worse.

If the hit rate is not up, it is tantamount to squandering offensive opportunities.

So the game has entered a stalemate, and no one can do anything about it.

However, the frenzied atmosphere at the Westfalenstadion has never changed. After eight years in the European war, Dortmund fans have been suffocating enough, with constant passion, and the frenzied atmosphere continues to rise.

Especially the sacred South Stand, where the atmosphere is the source of the entire stadium, leading all Dortmund fans to release their energy, cheer for the team, and burst out with huge energy.

In the 33rd minute, Tang Zheng didn't stand in front of the double midfielder Shaheen and Sven Bender when the team attacked, but consciously retreated to organize the attack.

The chain reaction brought about by Tang Zheng's retreat was huge, because Sevilla's defenders didn't know what to do.

If he followed up to defend Tang Zheng, there would be a large vacuum in front of the central defender.

But without defending Tang Zheng, the defensive players in the midfield and backcourt were a little at a loss.

Antonio Alvarez frowned, standing still and watching the suddenly changing situation on the court, his brain was running at high speed, thinking about how to break the game.

But the players on the field couldn't wait, and they became more and more impatient in the face of Dortmund passing back and forth.

The defensive formation gradually moved closer to Tang Zheng's area, so that the other wing had insufficient defensive players.

Not long after, the football came to Tang Zheng's feet again. Romanic and Zokora looked at each other and decided to put pressure on Tang Zheng, preventing him from organizing an attack calmly.

At the same time, Tang Zheng flicked the ball to the right to widen the angle, and passed the ball to Shaheen who was behind him.

Romanic stagnated, and Zokola rushed to Shaheen who received the ball.

However, Shaheen did not dribble forward by himself, but stepped the ball back with the sole of his right foot.

Suddenly, huge cheers burst out from above the Westfalenstadion.

Because the football came to Tang Zheng's forward route, Romanic didn't have time to think about it, so he added it.

Navas, who was retracted in the defensive ribs, accelerated the frequency of swinging his legs, and rushed towards Tang Zheng.

But Tang Zheng didn't intend to take the ball, he directly swung his right foot, using the outside instep to kick the ball towards his side to attack the right.

Due to Kuba's inward cut, Sevilla left-back Dabo followed inward, so that the defensive left was left with a large gap.

Tang Zheng's non-stop ball on the outer instep of his right foot is very ornamental and at the same time not inaccurate. The football draws an obvious outer arc from the outside to the inside in mid-air, and then finds Poland on the right high-set. Defender Piszczek.

"Aww~ Precise long pass from the outside of the instep!"

German sky commentator Marcel Leif gave a shout.

Piszczek's speed is very fast, he stretches his feet to stop the football while running.

Dabo obviously didn't expect Piszczek to move forward so resolutely, and it was too late when he realized that Piszczek had stopped.

Central defender Navarro quickly came out to defend, reducing Piszczek's passing space.

At this moment, Dortmund's Barrios, Gross Kreutz, Kuba and Shaheen rushed towards the Sevilla penalty area with four arrows.
