Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 407 Desperation

Dortmund got a free kick in the back court, and no one was in a hurry to take it out, because the head coach Klopp was pulling the captain Tang Zheng to talk about something. Dust? Fate? Literature? Learning? Network

Although the score is now a tie, so far there has been no problem in playing one less player, but the disadvantage of playing one less player will be infinitely magnified as time goes by.

Especially in the face of a top team like Real Madrid, as long as some problems are exposed on the defensive end, the Dortmund players will face a catastrophe!

The broadcast camera was aimed at Tang Zheng and Klopp, not only the fans in front of the TV could clearly see it, but even the fans at the scene could clearly see it through the two huge LCD screens of the new Wembley Stadium.

Most Real Madrid fans don't think so, they don't believe that Dortmund, who has one less player, can make any big waves.

Dortmund fans have some expectations. Now that the team is playing one player less, the score is still a tie, and there are too many variables.

Besides, who in this world stipulates that one less player will lose?

What international joke?

Dortmund this season is determined to become the first Bundesliga triple crown team, how could it fall in the Champions League final?

Even if you hit one less person!

In fact, Klopp and Tang Zheng didn't have many problems to explain, that is, those who can do more work.

Now that there is no Goetze in the frontcourt to organize the offense, it means that Tang Zheng has to actively participate in the offense while completing the defense, so as to make up for the responsibilities left by Goetze.

Of course, what Klopp explained is not limited to this, the frontcourt players Lewandowski and Royce must be the same.

However, their responsibilities were not as great as Tang Zheng's. Lewandowski was responsible for cruising between the two central defenders, ready to respond to defensive counterattacks at any time.

With Gotze off the field, the reduction in frontcourt numbers is inevitable, so the position of the double midfielder has also been adjusted. Gundogan, who can attack and defend well, makes up for the space on the right. Tang Zheng's position is slightly recovered, and his partner is Sven Bender.

The overall formation shrinks accordingly, a counter-defense posture.

Mourinho, who was standing in front of the coach of the visiting team, frowned. It is true that Dortmund playing one less player is beneficial to Real Madrid, but the problems it brings are also obvious. Now Dortmund's defensive intentions are very obvious. Finding Dortmund's defensive loopholes and giving them a fatal blow is a must. very difficult.

Because Dortmund will find a way to attack when eleven beats eleven,

After the offense, the transition from offense to defense will naturally expose problems.

But Dortmund is now focused on defense, where will the problem be easily exposed?

On the contrary, the team will inevitably increase its offense when it has a numerical advantage. Mourinho is worried about defensive problems.

The offensive wave after wave is certainly exciting, but the problems exposed will be even greater.

When the time comes, it will be troublesome!

Thinking of this, Mourinho hurriedly took advantage of the ball flying out of the sideline and yelled at Xavi Alonso, and then made a hand motion of pressing his palms down, indicating that the rhythm of the game should be slowed down.

Not far away, Klopp shook his head helplessly when he saw Real Madrid's rhythm slowing down.

Now the defense is solid, Yan Junling is performing very well, and the chance of conceding the ball will not be high.

Real Madrid, which has stepped up its offensive, will inevitably try its best to organize the offense, and the transition from offense to defense will definitely expose the problem of the defense line.

He believed that with Tang Zheng's ability to read the game, he could easily find out, so what he was waiting for was that Real Madrid made mistakes on their own initiative.

However, Real Madrid's slower pace is very beneficial to their formation, which means that even if they switch from offense to defense, they will not expose too many loopholes.

※※※

Tang Zheng returned to the position of the midfielder not so far back, and Sven Bender played the role of the central defender in front of him. Tang Zheng was responsible for the two rib defenses, and his running range was much larger than before.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng has always been known for his excellent physical fitness, and now that the game has reached nearly 70 minutes, the physical fitness of Real Madrid players has also declined, Tang Zheng will not be running back and forth continuously.

Of course, the problem of physical fitness is mutual.

Even in terms of the main frame, Dortmund's overall physical reserves are at a disadvantage.

Real Madrid missed the league championship early, so La Liga has always been reserved.

Dortmund is different, they have to work hard, keep their nerves tight and give their all in every game.

So after one season, he won the league championship.

The corresponding physical consumption is naturally severe. Now that there is one less player on the field, it means that the running distance of each player must increase...

The frenzied atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium is still there, and the deafening huge cheers wave after wave, without any intention of stopping.

The players on the field are also working very hard. Real Madrid's advantage in numbers is to make the best use of everything. They make full use of the width of the new Wembley Stadium and constantly mobilize Dortmund's defense on both sides, hoping to find loopholes.

However, judging from the effect of these few minutes, it is not obvious.

Real Madrid's main shots hit Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. Benzema had Hummels and Subotic co-defending, and Cristiano Ronaldo received Tang Zheng's focus.

Therefore, Real Madrid's attack is very fierce, and the chances of actually threatening Yan Junling's goal are very few.

Despite this, the Real Madrid fans still enjoyed making huge shouts, cheering and cheering for the Real Madrid players on the field.

They are all die-hard fans, and they can naturally see that the team they support has an absolute advantage, but they feel a little headache if they don't score.

There is a lot of thunder and little rain, which is a big taboo in football games.

Real Madrid's ball possession time continued to increase, and Dortmund fans were not discouraged. They still kept making huge cheers and silently paid for their beloved team.

They believe that the current situation of the game does not represent the result.

The league lagged behind Bayern for more than half a season, didn't they finally win the championship?

Dortmund fans believe that the Champions League final is still the same!

Besides, the score is still 1:1 now.

At the far end of the pitch, behind Iker Casillas' goal, diehard Dortmund fans sang the team anthem "Das-Vereinslied".

The fans are so strong, the players are naturally not to be outdone, they showed a strong fighting spirit in the face of Real Madrid's offense.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said with satisfaction: "Although Roman Weidenfeller received a red card and was sent off, the Dortmund players on the field did not give up the game. If not, they beat one less person..."

Before the words finished, Tang Zheng, who appeared in the live broadcast, decisively chose to put the shovel down. Tang Zheng, who Modric stopped and led, was successfully intercepted by Tang Zheng, and he also fell to the ground due to inertia.

Tang Zheng acted decisively and neatly. The referee Rizzoli was in a good position and could see very clearly, so he signaled that there was no foul.

But Real Madrid fans don't think so, they think it's a foul!

It's covering up!

So there was a huge tsunami of boos over the new Wembley Stadium: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo—"

Tang Zheng was very confident in his movements, the moment he intercepted the football, he handed the ball to Sven Bender in front of the top of the penalty area, and the latter handed it to Royce without making any adjustments.

Marcel Leff's voice was an octave higher: "Don's role is quite obvious! His tackle successfully cut the ball off Luka Modric's feet!! I think... this is what Dortmund can't see on the pitch The fundamental reason for beating one less person! Tang can be used as two people by one person!"

The football reached Royce's feet. He just turned around and was about to accelerate forward, but he saw Ramos attack aggressively.

In order to ensure that no injuries occurred, he chose to jump up.

The football was shoveled out of the sideline by Ramos, and Dortmund got the ball from the left sideline about 40 meters away.

Although it was only a throw-in kick, it was a good respite for the Dortmund players.

※※※

In a blink of an eye, the game came to seventy-five minutes, a critical point of physical fitness.

The live broadcast shot was shown in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team. Argentine striker Higuain was listening to the arrangement of head coach Mourinho and assistant coach Faria.

Central 5 commentator He Wei is very vigilant: "Is Real Madrid going to launch a general attack?"

Half a minute later, Lewandowski received a long pass from Tang Zheng near the midfield and chose to hit the goal without stopping the ball.

Under Ramos' personal interference, he completed his movements very beautifully and had great strength, but the front sight was not adjusted properly.

The referee Rizzoli suddenly blew his whistle and pointed to the sidelines.

Off on the 22nd, on the 20th.

He Wei frowned, and his tone was worried: "Higuain replaced Di Maria, which is a huge threat to Dortmund's defense, plus Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, it means that Dortmund will be in the penalty area. Three Real Madrid players, Yan Junling is about to face a bigger test in guarding the goal!"

Seeing Real Madrid's second substitution adjustment, Klopp and Tang Zheng raised their brows at the same time.

As He Wei said, the goal will face a greater test!

Higuain is a relatively traditional striker with a strong ability to grab points.

In addition, Higuain can also liberate Benzema, who has comprehensive skills, and act as a supporting point.

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo can also hide behind the two as a sharp knife, appearing in the most suitable position at the most appropriate time, and giving the opponent a fatal blow!

Klopp wanted to make a tit-for-tat substitution adjustment, but Weidenfeller's red card after replacing Sven Bender caused the second card to be used up early.

There was still a quarter of an hour in the game, and he didn't dare to use up the third card prematurely.

We can only... respond to all changes with the same.

Tang Zheng's worry comes from Higuain's super strong ability to grab points, and he will definitely need Hummels or Subotic to mark him closely.

In this way, there is only one defender left to defend Benzema.

The problem is that Benzema has a very large range of activities, and it is impossible to mark anytime and anywhere.

Because it is impossible to achieve man-to-man defense due to one less player, Benzema will have more room to move.

Beside them, there is Cristiano Ronaldo who is the most threatening...

※※※

The effect of Mourinho's second substitution adjustment in the whole game can be said to be immediate. Higuainza made Hummels and Subotic very uncomfortable in the penalty area.

His presence allowed Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo to get a lot of chances to receive the ball through running.

To put it bluntly, it means more opportunities to face the goal directly.

This is an opportunity for the main striker of the French national team and the main forward of the Portuguese national team!

During the period when Higuain played, Tang Zheng had to frequently come to the penalty area to assist in the defense. He even blocked the shot that Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to win by falling to the ground twice.

As time goes by, Real Madrid's chances are getting more and more.

The chance of a quick counterattack that Dortmund fans have been waiting for has been delayed, so many fans are starting to worry.

Because since Higuain came on the field, Dortmund have not gained possession of the half.

Tang Zheng, who is the absolute core, knows that this situation cannot continue, otherwise he will be greeted with perdition.

But some problems require a team effort to solve, and... a little bit of luck.

What Dortmund seems to lack now is luck.

In the 81st minute, Higuain overwhelmed Subotic with a header and returned to the top. Ozil, who was cruising to the front of the penalty area, passed the ball back to the right with the arch of his left foot without even turning his head.

Tang Zheng moved forward decisively to block, just in the way of Harvey Alonso's long-range shot.

But it went wrong and the ball bounced back to Xabi Alonso.

But this time Harvey Alonso did not choose to shoot long-range again, but passed the ball directly to the left side of the attack without stopping, which is the forward route of left back Marcelo.

"Oops!"

Suddenly, Tang Zheng was shocked.

Javi Alonso's footwork is well controlled, and the ball rolls quickly towards Marcelo's run on the ground.

Piszczek, who was instinctively adducted, had to pull out to defend Marcelo, but Marcelo didn't give him a chance to come up. The ball on the inside of the instep of his left foot was fine, and then he passed directly without making adjustments.

Marcelo's cross was quick and quick, Piszczek missed it and the ball flew into the middle of the box.

Although Tang Zheng completed his turn immediately, he was still one step away from the restricted area.

So all he can do is to pray for his teammates to work harder and complete the clearance.

"Aww-"

The diehard Real Madrid fans behind the goal instantly raised their guttural voices, creating huge cheers.

Goalkeeper Yan Junling saw that the football was in a hurry and fast, and a large number of players from both sides gathered in front of the small penalty area, so he did not dare to attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Hummels struggled to take off at the previous point, but neither failed to reach it.

Subotic grabbed Higuain's jersey tightly, and the two failed to even take off under the interference of each other, so they watched the football fly to the far end.

Sven Bender has a strong defensive ability, but his speed is his disadvantage!

In order to complete the defense, he did not hesitate to grab Benzema's jersey with his hands.

But Benzema's strength is not weak. He saw the football's landing point, and at the far end of the goal, that is, the right corner of the small penalty area, he chose a very difficult diving jump to the top.

It was so powerful that even Sven Bender was carried forward by his huge momentum and swooped forward.

The force on the trajectory of the falling soccer ball changes, and it flies to the other end of the goal.

Yan Junling moved towards the near corner at high speed but saw the football flying to the other side of the goal. He had to make an emergency stop on the spot, and at the same time used the reaction force brought by the emergency stop of his left foot to jump to the right.

but……

Did not touch.

With Yan Junling's unwilling eyes, the football hit the inner edge of the left goalpost and bounced into the net.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooal—"

For a short time, the Spanish national television commentator roared loudly.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was stunned, and as a professional football commentator, he had to continue working, "shouting": "Benzema helped Real Madrid overtake the score in the 82nd minute! Dortmund played one player less The situation is tantamount to being in a desperate situation!"
