Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 145 Advance to the Top 16

"Fernando... was sent off before the team made a substitution." The Portuguese national TV commentator looked at Boas and Sosa in the camera and said with emotion: "At this time, I have to say that Boas Asi's substitution adjustment was a bit slow..."

Sosa, who was standing on the sidelines, said to coach Boas: "Sir, am I still playing?"

"Play."

Boas looked at Fernando, who was a little unwilling, and decided to make substitutions and adjustments.

Dortmund's offense is very sharp. Now the team has one less player. If they don't pay attention to defense, it is very likely that they will seize the opportunity to score another goal.

Compared with the 2:3 loss at home, the score of 2:2 is still acceptable.

As long as Westphalia wins a week later, they can also have a chance to advance.

Sosa replaced Moutinho, who was not very effective on the defensive end. He partnered with Guarin as a double midfielder, James Rodriguez as a midfielder, Falcao and Hulk as a double forward, and the formation becomes four two one two.

"Good job." Boas comforted Fernando while hugging him.

The Porto fans in the stands stopped booing and they applauded Fernando.

Although the two goals conceded in this game are directly related to Fernando, without his presence, the team may concede more goals.

Defensive players are all in positions of responsibility.

Fernando was sent off, Villas-Boas's choice was still very decisive, and at the same time, it also allowed Porto, who was playing at home, to avoid a loss.

As goalkeeper Helton saved Tang Zheng's long-range shot on the move, the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the game just in the third minute of stoppage time.

The Porto fans in the stands let out a long breath with lingering fear.

With a home draw against Dortmund, there is still some suspense in the second round.

"The game is over! Porto drew with Dortmund at home." The tone of the Portuguese national television commentator seemed a little low: "But they conceded two goals at home, and they will be very passive in Westphalia a week later, especially Defensive giant Fernando's suspension..."

The live director's shots were shown to Dortmund players.

Although they failed to win the away game,

But two away goals almost put them half a foot into the last 16.

Because they haven't lost at home since last season, as long as they don't draw more than 1:1 with Porto at home, they will definitely advance to the top 16.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang looked at Tang Zheng who appeared in the camera, and said emotionally: "Tang Zheng, as the captain, performed very well in this game! One goal, one assist and one goal planning, even caused Fernando's injury at the end of the game. Red card, his contribution had a positive impact on Dortmund's promotion to the round of 16..."

At the same time, Tang Zheng walked towards his friend Falcao while shaking hands and hugging his teammates.

He stood in front of Falcao and stretched out his right hand. Falcao went up to meet him helplessly, and jokingly said, "You boy, can't you put some water?"

Tang Zheng kept Falcao, and said with a smile: "If you release the water, it would be an insult to you."

"Actually, I don't mind your insult." Falcao reached out and patted Tang Zheng's back.

"..." Tang Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few words, then quickly exchanged jerseys and returned to their camp.

James Rodriguez, who originally wanted to exchange jerseys with Tang Zheng, saw the captain of the national team, Falcao, exchanged jerseys with Tang Zheng, and he didn't know what to do.

Tang Zheng waved goodbye to Falcao and saw that James Rodriguez was stunned, he walked over with a smile, and comforted him: "Hey, James, what are you thinking? Today you behaved very well. Excellent, come on! I'll be waiting for you at Westphalia in a week!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Zheng also patted James Rodriguez on the shoulder twice.

Seeing Tang Zheng who had returned to his own camp, James Rodriguez secretly clenched his fists, and said in a voice he could only hear: "In a week's time, I will definitely surprise you!"

※※※

In the regular press conference after the game, the head coach of the away team Klopp was the first to be interviewed by the media. He affirmed the team's performance in the away game. At the same time, he also expressed regret that the team failed to beat Porto in the away game.

But in the second round at Westphalia, Dortmund will definitely win the game, and they will definitely not rely on more away goals to advance.

Later, Boas was interviewed. He did not deny his hesitation in the face of the media's hesitation in substitutions, but he still has full confidence in the team's next round of competition!

The next morning, Dortmund returned to Germany with a score of 2:2, and they were greeted by fans.

German media and European mainstream media believe that it is only a matter of time before Dortmund advances to the top 16.

Not to mention the two away goals here, Porto has the main midfielder Fernando and has been suspended with a red card, and Dortmund has remained unbeaten at home in all competitions in the past two seasons.

Therefore, in the eyes of the media, Dortmund's chances of advancing have greatly increased!

Returning to Dortmund does not require a lot of travel, and their next league match is a home game against St. Pauli.

The gap between the two is there, but some good media are speculating whether Dortmund will continue to "rob the rich and give to the poor"?

St. Pauli ranked eleventh in the league after twenty-two rounds.

This time, Dortmund did not "rob the rich and give to the poor". They beat St. Pauli 2-0 at home. Tang Zheng continued his good form in the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 final. One of his goals and one assist were An absolute contributor to the team's victory.

Next, Dortmund had to face a serious problem again.

Four days later they will play against Porto at home, and a week later they will go to Munich to challenge Bayern Munich consecutively, the twenty-fourth round of the league and the semi-finals of the German Cup in the 2010-2011 season.

In the 2010-2011 season, all 23 rounds of the Bundesliga Lindsay have passed, and Dortmund has achieved 17 wins and 6 draws, accumulating 57 points.

Although Bayern Munich has come to third in the standings after recent efforts, but the sluggish performance in the early stage made them a little far away from the top Dortmund.

With 12 wins, 6 draws, 5 losses and 42 points, they are 15 points behind Dortmund, and their chances of defending the title are infinitely close to zero.

Therefore, head coach Van Gaal has been under a lot of pressure recently. Many media believe that the two consecutive German national derbies after the Champions League 1/8 finals will become an important basis for whether Van Gaal can continue to stay in the Bayern coach.

Bayern first played away to Inter Milan in the first round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals. If their performance is not good enough, it will seriously affect their promotion path. If they are not careful, they may even be eliminated.

Not to mention the league game against Dortmund at home. After half a season of catching up, they finally came to third place. If they draw or lose to Dortmund at home, their ranking will fall out of the top three, and the Champions League next season is worrying.

Although the final German Cup is not as important as the league and the Champions League, it still entered the semi-finals after all, and the opponent in the other semi-final was from the Bundesliga Bundesliga, which means that as long as Dortmund is defeated, the German Cup champion can be determined.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Especially when the league championship is basically out of the question this season...

In the middle of the week, Bayern Munich challenged Inter Milan away.

Relying on Gomez, who has been in hot form recently, to score in the final stage of stoppage time in the whole game, they beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the away game, and took the lead in the two rounds of confrontation.

Immediately, the German media focused on the city of Dortmund in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Dortmund will usher in Porto's 2010-2011 Europa League 1/16 final second leg at home.

On the day of the game, the Westfalun Stadium was full of seats, and the atmosphere at home was particularly frenzied. Every Dortmund fan contributed their own energy.

In the stands, countless Chinese elements were also seen.

Tang Zheng's huge posters, slogans, banners, and even countless diehard Dortmund fans can be seen waving the Chinese flag, letting it fly high in the Westfalenstadion.

When the players of the visiting team entered the field to warm up, boos poured down like mountains and seas, which made the Porto players slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, huge laughter erupted from the stands.

Dortmund fans are laughing, laughing that Porto players have never seen the big world.

In fact, the Porto players were just uncomfortable with the noise erupting from the Westphalon Stadium.

From the first second of the game, the visiting Porto players did not play well.

Feeling the fanatical atmosphere of the stadium, the narrator of Portuguese National Television felt bad: "The Westfalun Stadium is known as the most terrifying home stadium in Europe, but... I believe that the warriors in Porto can hold the sword in their hands and complete the dragon slaying great cause!"

When he said this, he couldn't believe it.

James Rodriguez, who started the second round, had just waded out the football when he found a long leg in front of him. In order to avoid injury, he had to take off early to avoid it.

After landing, he turned his head and saw that it was Tang Zheng.

Before he could feel when Tang Zheng came over, he heard wild shouts coming from all directions.

At this time, he felt as if he was in the center of a small earthquake, with a very strong sense of déjà vu, and even his legs could not help but tremble slightly.

This situation is not only felt by James Rodriguez, but also by Falcao and Hulk.

Therefore, in the first ten minutes of the game, Dortmund, who had the home advantage, had an absolute advantage, and they launched wave after wave of fierce offensives.

Boas, who was standing in the technical command area of ​​the coach of the visiting team, frowned, obviously not expecting the team's performance.

The Bayern coach van Gaal, who is hidden among the fans, is not much better. Although he led the team to win the away game at the Meazza Stadium, Inter Milan is different from Dortmund in that they have stronger combat effectiveness.

From the start of the game to now, Dortmund's offense and defense have done very well, and the players' state has been maintained extremely well.

This is extremely unfavorable to the battle in three days...
