Midfielder Ruler

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

With the huge boos erupting from the Dragon Stadium, Tang Zheng strode the ball across the halfway line, and one of the double central defenders, Otamendi, chose to defend forward.

Of course, the defensive tactics he chose are safe and fight and retreat.

Tang Zheng's previous advance was relying on a tacit kick to kick the ball, and Otamendi didn't want to be used by Dortmund's counterattack to take advantage of the space behind him.

Besides, they also had a record of fighting in Ajia, and knew that Tang Zheng was very difficult to deal with, and he was the kind of smart player who relied on his head to play football.

A little carelessness, the team will be the first to concede the ball.

You know, the game has only started ten minutes!

While Otamendi presses forward, Porto's two-sided defenders naturally retract and release the space on the side.

After all, the side is far away from the goal, so it is natural to focus on the center defense in the early stages of defense.

And Barrios is Dortmund's top scorer so far this season, so he has to guard against it!

Facing Otamendi who was fighting and retreating, Tang Zheng took the initiative to slow down.

At this moment, Barrios suddenly moved forward to the position where Otamendi was originally located, that is, the defensive gap between center back Rolando and right back Sapanaru.

Barrios has performed well this season, scoring goals like hemp, must be strictly guarded against!

Rolando ran forward following Barrios, and paid attention to Tang Zheng's movements, as long as Tang Zheng had the idea of ​​passing the ball, he would immediately stop and cause offside.

But Tang Zheng, who had a broad vision, didn't do that. He swiped the ball to the right with the outside instep of his right foot while Barrios advanced, and accelerated again!

Otamendi, who was fighting and retreating, turned a small corner, but compared to Tang Zheng who accelerated again during the acceleration process, he was still slower.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng dribbled the ball into Porto's defensive 35-meter zone.

Porto left-back Pereira had a lot of space behind him, he didn't dare to move forward blindly, he was wary of Tang Zheng passing the ball to Kuba while retracting and fighting and retreating.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The wild boos that erupted from the sky above the dragon stadium were extremely huge,

deafening.

However Tang Zheng was not affected in any way, he strode forward to the ball, maintaining the connection with the football.

Otamendi's speed is considered fast among central defenders, but compared to Tang Zheng's forward acceleration, it is still a bit slow.

Although it is not enough to be distanced, it is also unable to keep up with Tang Zheng's pace.

"Put him down!!"

Boas, who was standing on the sidelines, roared loudly.

But the atmosphere on the field was too frenetic, the players' attention was all on the field, and there was no extra thought on the sidelines at all.

As Tang Zheng entered the 30-meter attack zone, left back Perez knew that he couldn't continue to retreat.

At the same time, Tang Zheng who was running suddenly pushed the football with the arch of his foot.

Barrios, who was originally running towards the defensive space between Rolando and Passanaru, suddenly stopped, then changed direction, and ran towards the huge space between Rolando and Perez.

The forward Perez thought that Tang Zheng was passing the ball to Kuba, so he subconsciously raised his right arm, signaling Dortmund to be offside.

But the next moment he reacted, because Tang Zheng's pass was not Kuba who inserted the ball to the right at all.

really!

The linesman did not raise the side flag! !

"Not offside!!"

Marcel Leif suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted.

Barrios, who was running, used the outer instep of his right foot to lead the ball to the front right in the middle, and at the same time raised his left elbow and entered the penalty area with Rolando.

As the captain, Helton knew that he could not continue to sit still, so he chose to abandon the goal and attack.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The Porto fans behind the goal opened their throats hysterically and burst into deafening wild boos, but it was more like they were doing their last struggle.

Barrios is in good form this season, scoring 16 goals in the league and four goals in the Europa League. He saw the opposing goalkeeper abandon the goal and hit the goal with his right foot without hesitation.

The football was fast and fast, sticking to the turf and rushing between Helton's legs.

Helton's reaction was very fast. When he realized that Barrios hit the wicket, he consciously folded his legs, but he was still half a beat behind. The embrace of the net...

※※※

"Goal! Lucas Barrios! His fifth goal in the Europa League gave Dortmund a goal away from Porto!" Marcel Leif shouted unabated: "This pair Their future promotion path will have a positive impact!"

Barrios, who broke the deadlock, was so excited that he listened to the Porto fans behind the goal.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The next moment, his response was deafening boos.

But Barrios doesn't care because the team is now scoring!

Tang Zheng, who sent the key pass, jumped on Barrios' back and raised his arms to demonstrate to the home fans!

"This is a typical Dortmund quick counterattack!" New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang said excitedly: "Tang Zheng played an extremely important role in this goal. From stealing the ball to assisting, he dribbled the ball for more than 50 meters. !"

"I have to say that Dortmund's counterattack tactics are concise and efficient. They took the lead through an effective and quick counterattack. In the 1/16 finals, they took the lead!"

"It turns out! The leader of the Bundesliga is stronger than the leader of the Portuguese Super League!"

In the commentator's commentary, Dortmund players embraced excitedly, celebrating their first away goal in the Europa League 1/16 final.

At the same time, the on-site director's camera switched to the sidelines, and Dortmund coach Klopp once again became the object of everyone's ridicule.

His signature combo punched out at the moment Barrios scored, screaming up to the sky!

In stark contrast is Porto coach Villas-Boas, he did not expect the team to concede a goal in ten minutes of the game.

This...is not a good sign.

The pre-match plan is not without conceding the ball, but I didn't expect it to be so early.

James Rodriguez, who was sitting on the home team's bench, was very envious of Tang Zheng, who was at the far end of the field. The temporary teammate who had tried out with Boca Juniors had now become the ruler of the field.

It's really annoying to compare people to people.

Falcao put his hands on his hips, his face full of helplessness.

The other players are not much better, especially Moutinho, Fernando and Guarin who are absolutely responsible for the goal.

The failure of the midfield trio to organize an effective offense is responsible for Dortmund's quick counterattack.

The scouts hidden in the Dragon Stadium were very sure of Tang Zheng's role in both offense and defense, and then wrote something in their notebooks.

※※※

Breaking the deadlock in the 11th minute of the game and scoring an away goal made Dortmund's momentum high. They turned away from the away game and bombarded Porto's goal indiscriminately.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the goalkeeper and captain Helton was very focused and performed bravely.

Marcel Leff praised: "His role is equivalent to Don's role in Dortmund! Rock solid!!"

This situation lasted until 20 minutes, because Boas gave up at home.

His team formation changed from the usual four-three-three to a more defensive four-two-three-one.

Fernando and Guarin partnered with double midfielders, Moutinho was in charge of the offensive organization in the middle, and Hulk and Christian Rodriguez recovered their positions, compressing Dortmund's offensive space.

"There are two brushes."

Seeing the changes in Porto, Klopp couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Boas.

It happened that Boas' attention was also here, and the two looked at each other.

However, they did not look at each other, their eyes crossed, and they refocused on the changes in the situation on the court.

In the eyes of the media and fans, Klopp is a passionate head coach with rich body movements, and this game is still the same.

Seeing Klopp in the camera, the Portuguese national TV commentator was very dissatisfied and said: "It's just a one-goal lead. I believe that Porto, which has remained unbeaten this season, will definitely overtake the score in the next game! Even at home Great victory!!"

Boas frowned and put his hands in his pockets, obviously not thinking of a good way to break Dortmund's defense.

The team does not have many offensive methods now, and it is unrealistic to rely on penetration in the middle to find Falcao.

So when the game entered 30 minutes, Boas made a gesture towards Moutinho, indicating that the tactics should penetrate from the center and change the cross from the side.

Although Falcao is short of height and is half a head shorter than Hummels and Subotic, Boas is still ready to try a tactical change.

Maybe the quality of the side pass is very high?

Football game, any possibility can happen!

Besides, continuous penetration in the middle has been used by Dortmund's defense system, and it doesn't make any sense to continue. It's better to actively seek changes.

In the thirty-sixth minute, Moutinho, who received the football, watched Tang Zheng, who was lying in front of him, give up the idea of ​​breaking forward or passing the ball. He saw Hulk on the left beckoning for the ball.

To be on the safe side, he passed to Hulk through Guarin's transition.

Hulk is physically strong, and Piszczek had a deep understanding before, so he chose to keep a short safe distance from Hulk.

In this regard, Hulk slammed the ball towards the baseline in the face of the double defense of Piszczek and Sven Bender.

Piszczek had been guarding against this move for a long time, but Hulk deliberately sought physical contact during the start. Piszczek felt like hitting a wall. In order not to lose his defensive position, he gritted his teeth and insisted.

Hulk took advantage of the gap time when he knocked Piszczek away, and suddenly made a cross.

The football flew fast and fast, and Hummels, who was at the front point, jumped high and missed it.

Because football still has an arc from the outside to the inside, goalkeeper Weidenfeller dare not attack easily.

In addition, Subotic did not expect that Hummels would take the top off the front point, so it was too late when he realized that he was putting pressure on Falcao.

Falcao leaped hard in front of the small penalty area, shaking his head and attacking the goal like a textbook.

Weidenfeller's subconscious reaction did not touch the football, and the football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal...
