Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 143 Trustworthy

An assist and an offensive plan by Tang Zheng helped Dortmund lead Porto 2:1 again in the away game, and the Dortmund fans who came with the team were extremely excited.

They are all fans who understand football and know what the two away goals brought by the away lead mean!

The hysterical shouts were not enough to vent the excitement and pride in their hearts...

The shouts above the Dragon Stadium represent the helplessness of the Porto fans, and they are also a small microcosm of the Porto players on the field.

Some of them looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, some put their hands on their hips, and some covered their faces with their hands.

As the top scorer in the team, Falcao blames himself very much. He thinks that if he can seize one of the opportunities, the current situation will not be like this.

However, there is no if in the world. Now that the score behind has become a fact, what he has to do is to equalize the score in the next game time, or even overtake it!

Also from River Plate, why is Tang Zheng able to control the game but not himself?

Tiger Falcao's fighting spirit is fully activated!

But there was not much time left in the first half of the game. Porto, which was playing at home, re-kicked off. Not long after the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

The Porto fans in the stands were obviously very dissatisfied with the referee's approach. They believed that the referee should let their side finish this wave of offense.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif sitting in the live commentary box listened to the huge boos from the stadium and said with a smile: "The referee must have his basis for blowing the whistle at the end of the first half, because Muti Neo's pass is forward instead of backward, I believe the referee will not blow the whistle..."

At the same time, from the broadcast footage, Dortmund players are very happy and excited.

It's no wonder they are so happy, after all, they have already scored two away goals in this important two-round elimination game, and they are still leading the score, which is almost equivalent to half a foot into the top 16.

Even if the game ends up losing the game away, two away goals can help Dortmund take the initiative.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the dressing room of the visiting team is very relaxed and pleasant, and the head coach Klopp praised every player without hesitation.

However, Klopp did not blindly instill in the players the concept of "already won the game".

Instead, the players are required to maintain a sense of oppression in the first half of the next game.

No one noticed that when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, James Rodriguez, who was sitting on the home team's bench, also entered the locker room.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team was very heavy. Coach Villas-Boas glanced at all the players present. When he saw the eyes of Falcao and James Rodriguez full of fighting spirit, he felt a little depressed.

If all the players show no fighting spirit, then the game will really be over.

So he coughed lightly, and said in an incendiary tone as much as possible: "The first half is over, what we have to do is to make up for the mistakes we made in the first half, the game is not forty-five minutes, nor ninety minutes, it is a game." One hundred and eighty minutes, we have enough time to equalize or overtake the score! I hope everyone here can be as full of fighting spirit as Romedal and James!"

After all, everyone in the locker room of the home team looked at Falcao and the relatively shy James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez, who only joined Porto last summer, did not get many opportunities to play this season. He played more at insignificant times when the team determined the victory of the game to feel the atmosphere of European football.

When a substitute enters the dressing room at half-time, he knows what that means.

"If we want to turn defeat into victory at home, we cannot rely on defense, so we need to attack!" Boas looked at James Rodriguez with sharp eyes: "James, our offense needs your ball control and organization , and you... will also become the biggest reliance for us to turn defeat into victory..."

For Boas' trust, James Rodriguez nodded vigorously.

Throughout the first half, Boas concluded why the team could not organize an effective offense.

In addition to Dortmund's efficient high-post pressure, the limited ability to control the ball in the frontcourt is also a manifestation of offensive weakness.

Guarin only served as the main force when Meireles went to Liverpool. He lacked self-confidence forward and could not share the pressure of Moutinho's offensive organization. Hulk is a striker with winger attributes. He can protect the ball, but it is often easy Delay fighter.

Christian Rodriguez can be said to be Porto's worst player in the entire first half, with procrastinated offense and insufficient defensive recovery.

So the young James Rodriguez became Villas-Boas' reliance in the second half. He can pass suddenly and is willing to run more. He believes that James Rodriguez in the second half can drive Porto to attack in the second half.

※※※

Before changing sides to fight again in the second half, Porto took the lead in making personnel adjustments. James Rodriguez, who wore the No. 19 jersey, replaced Christian Rodriguez, who wore the No. 10 jersey.

Tang Zheng noticed James Rodriguez who was slowly running into the stadium with a serious expression.

really!

The playing of James Rodriguez revitalized Porto's offense. Compared with the Uruguayan Christian Rodriguez, he has more changes in the rhythm of taking the ball on the left side of the attack.

Moreover, his vision and ball control ability are very strong, which can ensure that the football will not be cut off at his feet.

Dortmund's high pressure did not break the football and could only slowly retreat to the half.

As the game time slowly passed, the Dortmund players who seemed to be able to do their best in the first half felt more and more difficult, and Tang Zheng, who was the core captain, felt the most obvious.

The James Rodriguez in front of him is no longer the James Rodriguez who played with Ajia during the trial training, he has become stronger!

The defensive players were passive in the face of the offensive players, and the atmosphere on the scene became more frenzied as Porto strengthened the offensive rhythm, Tang Zheng's game pressure became more and more intense.

With the assistance of James Rodriguez, Moutinho has gradually shown his ease in the Portuguese Super League on both offense and defense.

In the 52nd minute, Tang Zheng fouled while assisting James Rodriguez on the wing. The referee immediately whistled for the foul and gave a yellow card.

"Aww-"

Regarding the referee's penalty, the Porto fans at the Dragon Stadium agreed with both hands.

Tang Zheng suppressed Porto very well on both offensive and defensive ends, this yellow card will make him restrain himself in the next game.

In the frenzied atmosphere of the away game, Tang Zheng, who had a yellow card on his back, was a little restrained when defending, for fear of slow reaction and making a mistake.

However, in many cases, the more afraid of making mistakes, the easier it is to make mistakes.

In the 60th minute, Porto equalized and Falcao scored.

The assist for this goal was provided by James Rodriguez, who came off the bench. Cheek made a quick win.

He first made an illusion that he was going to cut inside to trick Piszczek into making an inward movement, and then slammed the ball out with the outside instep of his left foot.

Taking advantage of such a time difference, he swung his left foot and sent a precise cross.

Hummels didn't pay attention to the situation around him, only football in his eyes.

Just when he thought he was about to successfully clear the siege, his eyes suddenly went dark.

"Romedal Falcao—"

Along with the shouts erupting from the Dragon Stadium, the Portuguese national TV commentator shouted.

Falcao beat Hummels to complete the lion head shake. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller pressed slightly slower and the football flew into the goal from his armpit.

"damn it!"

Klopp shook his arm violently.

With the last half hour left in the game, Porto equalized the score, which is not a good sign.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang shook his head and said: "Porto's targeted attack in the second half was very obvious. Next... it will be a severe test for Dortmund as a guest."

After the live broadcast shot showed the goal side Porto, it gave Dortmund captain Tang Zheng a close-up shot, he was communicating with the head coach Klopp.

Marcel Leif said: "Actually, a draw and two away goals in the away game is a very good result for Dortmund. Even if they lose 2:3 in the end, it will not affect their promotion. How much impact did it have?"

After explaining a few words to Tang Zheng, Klopp did not make adjustments to the lineup, he chose to trust the players on the field.

As Marcel Leff said, an away draw is also acceptable.

Porto, who equalized the score, will definitely increase the offensive range. If they strengthen the attack tit-for-tat, it will definitely affect the quality of defense.

Besides, Tang Zheng and Sven Bender are currently Dortmund's strongest defensive partners in the middle. Gotze, Gross Kreutz and Kuba are all young people who can't sleep at night without running 13,000 meters. trustworthy!

On the contrary, Barrios did not perform very well in the next game time, so the Polish Lewandowski can be considered.

Falcao's goal helped Porto equalize the score, and the home team fans in the stands seemed to see the hope of overtaking the score.

But Dortmund, who re-kicked off the ball, slowed down the offensive rhythm under Tang Zheng's deliberate control. He used active running to link up the midfield attack.

In more than a minute when Dortmund re-kicked off, they firmly controlled the ball at their feet.

The continuous possession of the ball caused the Porto fans on the scene to be extremely dissatisfied, and they broke out huge boos.

But the Dortmund players don't care, they have scored two goals in the away game, the score is a tie, no pressure!

The Porto players who regained possession of the ball are not as leisurely as the Dortmund players. They urgently need a goal to overtake the score!

Tang Zheng fully demonstrated his excellent game reading ability and defensive awareness at this time, and his frequent trips made him the busiest player in Dortmund during this period.
