Midfielder Ruler

"Ooh-oh--"

Just a few tenths of a second after the Dortmund fans charged up, the Benfica fans behind the goal burst into hysterical exclamations.

It turned out that Tang Zheng's long shot was blocked by the desperate Benfica captain.

It's just that the blockage was not complete, the football shot by Tang Zheng didn't rotate at all, just like a shell fired from the chamber, the football hit the upper edge of Louisson's left thigh.

The contact area between the two is small, but it has a vital impact on the trajectory of the football.

Originally, in the judgment of the goalkeeper Cesar, the football should have flown to the near corner, so he moved two steps and made a save action.

But Louisson's sacrifice of his life not only failed to block the shot, but it was a disservice!

The football refracted, and the shot that was supposed to fly to the near corner was interfered and flew to the middle of the goal.

Cesar was flying in mid-air, his body was extremely stretched, and his movements were standard, he rushed to the near corner, which is the left side of the goal behind him.

This refraction is tantamount to killing Cesar, and it is also tantamount to killing the Benfica fans!

Cesar, who was still flying in the air, felt that time was slowing down. He seemed to be watching the picture that was slowly frozen, and his eyes followed the football that deviated from the original trajectory.

Using his abdominal and leg strength in vain, he tried to lift his right foot to reach the ball.

But... everything was in vain.

He wanted to pounce to the left, but the football flew to the right and to the middle.

One to the left and one to the right.

That's probably what it means.

At the same time, Benfica fans, Luizon, and other Benfica defenders all stared wide-eyed, held their breath, and a burst of sadness burst out from the depths of their souls.

The same is true of Benfica coach Jesús, who is standing on the sidelines with his hands tightly clenched. He looks at the unbelievably refracted football. At this moment, he seems to be abandoned by the whole world.

The Dortmund fans raised their voices under the original shouts, and the deafening cheers instantly swept the entire stadium. Those neutral fans also lost their positions at this moment and came to Dortmund.

"Aww-"

The deafening cheers are developing towards the mountain roar and tsunami...

"At the end of the first half, the game finally broke the ice!"

"This goal is too unexpected! But it is not surprising that Dortmund lead! They deserve the lead!!"

"A lot of goals require luck! This time is the same! God favors Dortmund, they are ahead of Benfica!"

"It's luck again! Is this the 'Gutman Curse' at work? Will the European champions miss Benfica within a hundred years?"

The commentators from all over the world blurted out one after another, interpreting Dortmund's goals in their own style.

The most excited among them was the German sky commentator Marcel Leif who suddenly shouted: "This... this is a refraction! The goal is scored! Don's long-range shot knocked on Benfica's goal! Dortmund is in the Europa League The cup final broke the deadlock and took the lead!"

Of course, the narrators from China are not left behind.

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang roared passionately: "This is... refraction! But that's not the point! The point is that the football has scored! Tang Zheng's tenth goal in the Europa League this season! Goal! The efficiency is comparable to that of a striker! European giants, have you seen it? This is the best player in the Bundesliga! Great Chinese! Belongs to Chinese history! Who dares to say that among the 1.3 billion Chinese, no one can play Ball? See that?"

Huang Jianxiang's commentary style is distinctive, and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the computer watching the live broadcast are completely affected by his excitement.

They only have one feeling now, and that is to feel elated!

※※※

The stands of the Dublin Stadium have been rendered into a sea of ​​yellow and black by Dortmund fans.

"Tannnnnnnnnnnnnng—"

After the excitement, they looked at the excited Tang Zheng, and made a sound that pierced the sky.

Tang Zheng was also very excited in this situation, he ran towards his team to attack the right corner flag area with open arms, and habitually performed a sliding kneeling celebration.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot. As a core player, he broke the deadlock at a critical moment, which is very impressive!

His teammates are rushing in from all directions, leaving several skating and kneeling marks on the team's offensive right.

A group of people excitedly celebrate the goal.

Only Shinji Kagawa seemed a little embarrassed. He thought that he would be the key player in the first game.

The results of it?

It was still Tang Zheng who became the protagonist.

Could this be the difference between the protagonist and the supporting role?

Immediately afterwards, the on-site director played back the slow motion of the goal, and then replayed the scene that happened in Dortmund's coaching area at the moment of the goal.

Klopp, who was standing still, watched the football go into the net. He couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart and roared to the sky. Then he habitually came up with a set of combined punches. The last blow was even a leap, and it was completed in mid-air. The last swing of the punch.

※※※

According to international practice, the live director's shots are given to the team after the goal, and it is necessary to find an opponent for a huge comparison.

Judging from the broadcast footage, the Benfica stadium on the side that lost the ball seemed very helpless.

Aimar naturally stood where he was, with his hands on his hips, slightly raised his head to look at the sky, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gaitan, who was called the best signing last summer by the Portuguese media, has complicated eyes and mixed feelings in his heart.

Tang Zheng felt too powerful to him.

It's like being invulnerable.

He seems to have returned to the time when he played for Boca Juniors, even with Banega and Riquelme, he couldn't suppress Tang Zheng.

I can't even compare to Banega, who played for Valencia.

This...is the difference?

Sitting in front of the TV watching the Europa League final, Banega felt the same way.

Tang Zheng seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

I joined Valencia with a transfer fee of 18 million euros, and played in La Liga and the Champions League, but I didn't play for my worth.

And what about Tang Zheng?

Twelve million euros was transferred to Dortmund, and now the German transfer market has marked Tang Zheng with a value of 40 million euros.

Once a transaction occurs, the 40 million euros can only be used as a reference, and the actual transaction price is higher.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

On the contrary, Aimar is more open-minded. He is 32 years old this year and has entered the later years of his career. Apart from accumulating game experience, other attributes are declining to varying degrees.

Besides, Tang Zheng came from the same school, he wished all the players from River Plate could play at this level.

It's just that this situation is a bit embarrassing now, and he, who played the same midfielder as Tang Zheng, was completely defeated in this game.

World football is indeed the world of young people.

Cristiano Ronaldo in 1985, Leo Messi in 1987, could it be Tang in 1985?

The two-year generation of kings may start from the 2010-2011 Europa League final.

※※※

The game restarted, and before Jesús had come up with the best plan, the experienced Aimar showed his value. He was more calm than those young players, knowing that this time is not the time to act impulsively .

Although Dortmund's defensive system is not very rigorous from a tactical perspective, they rely on young players with sufficient physical fitness in the midfield as the first line of defense, forcing opponents to have no extra time to think about how to pass the ball.

If they encounter a team with delicate skills at their feet or a team with smooth passing and cutting, it will be an absolute disaster.

However, this seemingly rough defensive tactic is very practical for Benfica.

In the remaining time of the first half, Benfica did not show the momentum of seeing death at home, and Dortmund did not intend to pursue the victory, and played very harmoniously.

The referee was also very knowledgeable. He blew the whistle to end the first half as soon as the 45 minutes of regular time came.

At the same time, the on-site director will broadcast the footage to the core players of both sides.

Tang Zheng smiled and walked towards the player tunnel side by side with Lewandowski. The two of them said this from time to time, and they made rich body movements.

Anyone with a little knowledge can understand that they are in the first half of the game after the exchange.

"Robert, you were too nervous in the first half, relax. In Jurgen's words, you have the potential to become the best striker in the world. If you are so nervous in a game like the Europa League final, What about the Champions League final?"

In terms of age, Lewandowski is more than a year older than Tang Zheng, but in terms of performance and dominance on the court, Tang Zheng is several times better than him, so he behaved naturally, nodded and said :"I see."

After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he took another step and grabbed Shinji Kagawa's shoulder.

Shinji Kagawa was a little surprised, but Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Can you understand Chinese?"

In the first half of the 2010-2011 season, Shinji Kagawa was unable to play the game due to the lack of language communication with his teammates, that is, the language barrier, so he worked hard to learn German.

As Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Dortmund, there is also a trend of learning Chinese in the Dortmund team, Kagawa Shinji is no exception, he nodded instinctively.

In fact, Kagawa Shinji speaks German very well, but Tang Zheng just wanted to speak Chinese: "Your running position was too rigid in the first half, don't hold the right side like Yakubu, that will not only abolish yourself, but also affect Marcel's assist range, you should come to the middle more often, especially when I retreat to get the ball, I know you have a certain ability to pass and threaten the ball, don't bury yourself..."

Shinji Kagawa seemed to understand, but with a sincere attitude, he said in broken Chinese: "I know Brother Tang."

The on-site director switched the camera again, just in time to see Tang Zheng pulling Shinji Kagawa to say something, the latter's expression and posture were very low, the central 5 commentator He Wei was very proud, and jokingly said: "Tang Zheng is like a It's like educating a younger brother."

When He Wei said so, he naturally had his reasons.

Throughout the entire first half, Shinji Kagawa's performance can be said to be the worst in the entire Dortmund team. As Xu Yang said during the game: Shinji Kagawa was the biggest mistake in Klopp's formation.

The Japanese commentator looked at Shinji Kagawa, who was almost bowing his head, and frowned, and said with some displeasure: "In the second half, Kagawa should show a better level, otherwise the Bundesliga champion can't tolerate him..."

German Sky commentator Marcel Leff behaved normally: "We will see this scene in every game. Don is like the head coach on the court. He can read the game very well and read which teammates' Insufficient, I think... after retiring, he is definitely a top professional coach."

During the intermission, the atmosphere of the two sides of the game was very different.

Dortmund, who got the home lottery, looked very relaxed and happy in the home team's locker room, but Benfica in the visiting team's locker room was very depressed, as if they had lost the game.

However, Dortmund coach Klopp did not praise the players, but said seriously: "Brothers, only forty-five minutes have passed in the game, and there are still forty-five minutes left. We are only leading by one goal. There is nothing to be happy about." .”

Speaking of this, Klopp habitually raised his voice: "If you want to be happy, cheer, get season bonuses, make supermodels and celebrities during vacations, all of them are not a problem! The premise of all this is that we end the game with a victory Contest!"

"Do you have the confidence to win this game?" At the end, Klopp yelled almost crazily.

"Full of confidence!"

The players responded equally wildly.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

The head coach Jesús was a little helpless. He was not the kind of head coach who was good at inciting the emotions of the players, so he could only start with tactical adjustments: "In the second half, we adjusted our tactics. We overthrew all the previous drills, and directly crossed from the side in the first ten minutes. Or a long pass, specifically choose Pablo to master."

The reason why Jesús chose this is because Dortmund's central defense is too strong and it is difficult to penetrate.

Throughout the first half, Benfica struggled to infiltrate Dortmund's penalty area.

The results of it?

Terrible!

A direct cross from the side or a long pass may be able to find opportunities.

Oscar Cardoso is 1.93 meters tall, and his physical condition is not inferior to Hummels and Subotic. He can directly attack the goal or head the ball back.

If there is no way to tie the score in the first ten minutes, then let's talk...

In this situation, we can only take one step at a time.

Immediately afterwards, Jesus turned his head and swept Gaitan: "Nicholas, don't always stay on the left. You should try to cut in on the right like Robben. It is more threatening, but don't show off your skills too much."

Gaitan is the kind of player with strong tactical execution, and nodded.

In the later stage of Boca Juniors, his best position was actually the attacking midfielder, but Benfica has Aimar, so he can only be forced to transform into a left attacking midfielder.

But in order to play the game, he can only try to change.

With his impressive ability to adapt, he finally won a main position, and he is still shining.

Thinking of Robben, who has performed well in the Bundesliga and European arenas, Gaitan seems to have found a new path.

Even if there is no chance to play the midfielder, it can also help the team in other positions!

In a blink of an eye, the 15-minute break ended, and players from both sides walked towards the Dublin Stadium one after another.

Under the cheers of the fans, Cardoso kicked the ball to Aimar, and the second half of the 2010-2011 Europa League final was officially announced.
