While Borussia Dortmund was deepening its techniques and tactics for the first round of the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League 1/16 finals, the entire Porto team was also staying at the hotel for tactical arrangements and analysis

Although their coach Villas-Boas is only 33 years old this year, his resume is very good. It is even unbelievable that he served as England coach Bobby Robson's assistant when he was 17 years old.

Then he has been studying with Mourinho, until Mourinho became the head coach of Inter Milan, he chose to go it alone.

At this time, he was only thirty-one years old.

Two years later in the summer, Villas-Boas, who was only 33 years old, became the head coach of Porto, one of Portugal's three giants. Many media questioned his ability, but it turned out that ability has nothing to do with age.

In the nineteenth round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto is the best, with 17 wins and 2 draws, with 53 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed Benfica, and the Portuguese Cup has also entered the semi-finals.

These two achievements have fully demonstrated that Boas's coaching ability is extremely good.

So the players sitting in front of him were very quiet, listening to the technical and tactical analysis and explanation very carefully.

"Joao, try to avoid Don's coverage in the offensive organization, make full use of the width of the court, and remember to stick the ball under your feet. Dortmund's ability to disrupt the game is very strong."

"Fernando, you only have one task in tomorrow's game, to protect the ball under Joao's feet." Boas said solemnly and looked at Guarin: "Freddy, your task is more important. It is necessary to share the pressure of Joao to organize the offense, and at the first moment of transition from offense to defense, Tang must be restricted, so as not to let him have the opportunity to get the ball."

Hearing Boas focus on Tang Zheng over and over again, Guarin felt a little disdainful, and frowned slightly.

Boas has a strong observation ability, and he keenly noticed the subtle changes in Guarin's facial expressions.

His tone is still serious: "Although he is Chinese, I hope you don't have any relaxation. He proved himself last season. Dortmund's top spot this season is also directly related to him. He is the best player in the Copa Libertadores." The player and the Bundesliga half-time mvp are not in vain!"

After all, Boas turned his attention to Falcao: "Romedal, you have worked with Don in River Plate, tell Freddy about his situation."

Falcao coughed lightly, very serious, and glanced at his teammates: "Here I can say responsibly, he is the best partner I have ever met, bar none! In addition, I believe everyone in his defensive ability I already have a deep understanding in the collection, but what I want to say is that the real him is even more terrifying!"

As Porto's top scorer last season and this season, Falcao still has a high status in the locker room, and what he says is very useful.

Falcao is also the captain of the Colombian national team. As a member of the Colombian national team, Guarin naturally wants to listen. Besides, Falcao usually speaks concisely and only talks about the main points, so he must be treated seriously.

No one noticed that the Colombian James Rodriguez, who joined Porto last summer, was sitting at the far end secretly clenched his fists, his mind was full of Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires four years ago. Training match.

For four years, he had always targeted Tang Zheng.

But I didn't expect that the further I chased, the further...

※※※

On the day of the game, players from both sides showed up from the player tunnel to warm up on the court, and the Dragon Stadium was already packed.

From the perspective shot, Porto fans in blue and white shirts almost filled the entire stadium.

The yellow and black belonging to Dortmund fans only occupy a small part of it, like an ark in the vast ocean.

Not long after Tang Zheng came out, he saw his good friend Falcao approaching him, and the two smiled tacitly.

Then he hugged each other vigorously and said in unison: "Long time no see."

After that, the two added in unison: "Don't cry when you lose."

Immediately afterwards, the two let go of each other knowingly, and punched each other in the chest with a smile.

The big battle is imminent, and it is impossible for old friends to chat non-stop when they meet. Besides, Tang Zheng is now Dortmund's field captain, and it is not very good to chat with the opponent's core players, so the two returned to their respective camps to warm up for the game.

But just as Tang Zheng turned around, he saw a familiar face again, very familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember it.

James Rodriguez stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Don, long time no see."

Seeing the iconic smile, Tang Zheng suddenly remembered: "Hames, long time no see."

"By the way, when did you come to Porto?" After speaking, Tang Zheng stretched out his hand to meet James Rodriguez's extended right hand.

"last summer."

"Oh." Tang Zheng gave an expression of "so it is like this".

Of course, Tang Zheng and James Rodriguez didn't talk much, and returned to their respective camps.

In fact, in this match, Tang Zheng still has an acquaintance, but this acquaintance is not the kind of familiarity between friends, but an opponent.

When Tang Zheng was playing for River Plate, he had fought against Otamendi who used to play for Sarsfield.

This memory also made Tang Zheng quite proud, because he once beat Otamendi to head the ball into the goal.

I just don't know, does this game have the same chance to beat Otamendi?

※※※

As the captain standing first in the queue, this is not Tang Zheng's first time, he is already used to this feeling this season.

Due to the criticality of this game, he didn't even have any conversations with his friend Falcao in the player channel. He just cheered with his teammates, especially Gotze who started the game.

In this game, Tang Zheng, who is partnered with Sven Bender as the double defensive midfielder, will take care of defense for most of the time, and the offensive organization is completely handed over to Gotze. Whether the team's offense can be carried out smoothly depends on Gotze's self-adjustment ability .

Less than ten seconds later, Tang Zheng and Porto captain Helton walked out following the referee.

"Aww~"

There was a huge cheer at the Dragon Stadium, which was given to Porto by the fans of the home team.

Central 5 did not purchase the broadcast of the Europa League, so domestic fans can only watch the live broadcast through Xinwolf.com.

This may not be a problem for the new generation of fans, but it is a bit difficult for the old generation fans, and Dortmund's away game against Porto kicked off at 4 o'clock in the morning.

However, there are still many Chinese fans watching the live broadcast of this game.

In the screen display of the live webpage, Tang Zheng was very busy.

Exchanging team flags, picking sides, taking group photos...

European competitions are all held at night, so there is no such thing as a "yin and yang field", so it is useless to pick a side. It is better to use the initial stage to give Porto a blow!

Perhaps due to luck, Tang Zheng lost the right to pick a side and won the right to kick off.

But for the night kick-off, it doesn't make any difference which side to choose, but whoever kicks off first will have an advantage.

Of course, if Porto, which is at home, kicks off, the effect will be better.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The two sides of the game stood on each side, Barrios stepped on the football and waited for the referee to blow the kick-off whistle, but there was a tsunami of boos erupting from the Dragon Stadium.

The fans of the home team warned Dortmund players in this way, don't be too presumptuous at the Dragon Stadium!

"The game atmosphere at the Dragon Stadium was very frenzied. The home fans booed the visiting Dortmund players, but could they really interfere?" New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang talked eloquently: "This game is said to be comparable to the Europa League. The 1/16 final of the final is really exciting..."

"beep~"

At this moment, the referee on duty blew his whistle.

Barrios kicked the football to Cuba, and Falcao and Hulk, who were in the middle of the other half, rushed towards Cuba who was holding the ball like wild horses.

Kuba didn't dare to neglect, and directly handed the ball to Goetze, who was on his side's half-circle arc.

Falk and Hulk made a tacit turn and rushed towards Gotze who was holding the ball.

Gotze who received the football did not show off his small skills, he passed it to the field captain Tang Zheng who was ready to catch the ball.

Seeing the football rolling towards Tang Zheng, Falcao felt inexplicably excited. He didn't slow down, and rushed towards Tang Zheng, the core midfielder of Dortmund, without any hesitation.

Everyone knows that although Tang Zheng's position in this game is a defensive midfielder, he is still the core of Dortmund.

Absolute core!

Tang Zheng, who was facing the football, also noticed Falcao who was accelerating forward, the corner of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and the sole of his right foot actively pulled the football to the left.

Defensive players have always been passive, and Falcao, who grabbed the ball in the frontcourt at the first moment of the game, had to make a small turn.

Accompanied by the loud boos that erupted from the scene, Tang Zheng pulled the ball back violently with the sole of his right foot. Falcao, who was only about two meters away from the football, had to step forward again, stepping forward to the left, using his own Excellent explosive power shortens the distance with football.

Hulk, who has partnered with Falcao for most of the season, has a tacit understanding of pressing Tang Zheng who holds the ball from the other side.

"It's time to pass the ball!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif increased his voice.

But as soon as the words fell, Tang Zheng quickly withdrew his right foot, and at the moment Falcao took a step, he gently poked the football back with his toe, and the football rolled between Falcao's legs.

"Beautiful!" New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang gave up on announcing the starting lineups of the two sides, suddenly changed his voice, and shouted passionately: "The crotch is amazing!!"

At the same time, the huge boos erupting from the Dragon Stadium suddenly lost their sound as if they were being attacked.

Tang Zheng didn't stop to think about the reasons for the stands, he started on the spot, bypassed the right side of Falcao's body that couldn't be covered, and then spotted Kuba's forward penetration route, and made a long pass without hesitation! !

Klopp, who had just returned to the coach's bench, stared at the football in mid-air for a moment, then stood up suddenly from the coach's bench.

But the next moment, he sat down disappointed again.

Because Kuba stretched his right foot while running and didn't stop at the football...

White excited!
