Chapter 237: What Are You Worried About, What Are You Here For!
Tang Zheng's long-range shots have always been reliable and of high quality. Standing in the home team's coaching area, Klopp's excited upper body stretched over the sideline. He stood on tiptoes, opened his hands naturally, maintained his body balance, and tried to see further.
Van Bommel, who was standing in front of the top of the penalty area, saw the football coming fiercely, but he was responsible for intercepting in the midfield, so he chose to block Tang Zheng's long-range shot with his flesh and blood without hesitation.
But Tang Zheng's long-range shot was very accurate, full of power, and extremely fast, Van Bommel's sacrifice failed to block the ball.
The football whistled away from his ears and continued to fly towards the set goal.
Goalkeeper Abbiati spread his right arm in an attempt to make a wonderful save while moving, but the football flew very fast and the angle was relatively tricky.
As he was too old, his physical fitness declined significantly, and the elongated right fingertips did not change the trajectory of the football. The football crossed the goal line until it hit the snow-white net.
At the same time, the Westphalia 1un stadium instantly boiled and turned into a yellow sea of joy.
Accompanied by the huge cheers erupting from the scene, Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, was very excited. He clenched his fists, opened his arms, and frantically ran towards the sideline camera, roaring at the camera.
His handsome face was extraordinarily ferocious because of being too excited.
Central 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "Beautiful goal! Wonderful world wave! Tang Zheng helped Dortmund take the lead at home in the 22nd minute of the game! The total score became 3:1!! "
German sky commentator Marcel Leif was so excited that he jumped up at the moment Tang Zheng scored from a long shot: "Bayern Munich took a two-goal lead at the Allianz Arena, and Dortmund's Mr. Key also stood up at this time." Come out and help the team break the stalemate on the field with a shocking world wave, they lead with a total score of 3:1!"
The on-site director's camera was aimed at Tang Zheng, who was surrounded by his teammates at this moment.
Immediately, the camera suddenly switched and came to the command area of the home team coach.
Dortmund coach Klopp celebrated the team's goal excitedly. He raised his arms and shouted, and punched a set of iconic combos with a grim expression.
The fans of the clogged nightmare at the Westfalen Stadium were particularly excited, and their cheers continued unabated, resounding throughout the stadium.
Thousands of miles away in China, Tang Zheng was unanimously praised on the Internet.
Two weeks ago, at Tianhe Sports Center, Tang Zheng represented the Chinese team in the last match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Twenty.
The scene was stalemate, it was Tang Zheng who broke out suddenly at a critical moment and scored a goal, helping the Chinese team break the deadlock and win the game in one fell swoop.
Two weeks later, at the Westphalia 1un Stadium, Tang Zheng relied on his strong personal ability to use a long-range shot to penetrate the goal guarded by AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati when the home team was lacking in offensive skills.
It's really exciting just thinking about it.
The protagonist in the broadcast footage is Chinese!
However, Dortmund's goal celebration didn't last long. It ended in more than ten seconds, and then returned to their own half in twos and threes.
At the same time, AC Milan players are still in a relatively depressed period.
Lost 1:2 at home in the round, and conceded first in the second round.
In the away game, the gap is two goals.
To get the game into overtime, you have to score two consecutive goals without conceding a goal.
But this is the home of the No. 1 devil in Europe——Westphalia 1un. Is there a chance?
They don't know the truth and have complicated feelings.
Head coach Allegri frowned and looked not in high spirits.
In fact, he was thinking about how to give it a go.
Even if there is still more than an hour before the end of the game, it is very difficult to score two goals in the away game, and we have to consider how the team can avoid conceding more goals.
If the line of defense is unstable, what about a reversal?
Veteran Seedorf was absent due to injury, and Abbiati, who wears the captain's armband, is not the kind of captain who is good at stirring up the emotions of his teammates.
Fortunately, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a good sense. When his teammates were depressed, he slapped his palms vigorously to boost morale: "The away goal was expected. Don't be discouraged. After the game restarts, the football will be handed over to the team. I, I will solve it!"
And Ibrahimovic did what he said, and in the next attack, he posed a direct threat to the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.
It's just that the distance from the goal is still a little bit short.
Ibrahimovic is the number one star of AC Milan. There is no doubt about his personal ability, but he is not the kind of player who can create opportunities by himself and then finish them by himself, but needs the full support of his teammates.
Perhaps his scoring ability and popularity are much better than Tang Zheng, but in terms of organizational ability and ability to move forward suddenly, Tang Zheng is stronger than Ibrahimovic.
Moreover, Tang Zheng's defensive ability can be ranked first in the whole of Europe, and he can be called an all-around midfielder.
During the period when Dortmund was leading, Tang Zheng felt like a fish in water. AC Milan stepped up their offense in order to advance. His running coverage ability and ability to read the game were fully reflected, and he often appeared where he should appear most.
Ibrahimovic worked very hard, and the commentator of the Italian National TV said with emotion: "If every player in AC Milan can work as hard as Zlatan, will they still not be able to score? Football is a team sport. Relying on only one Zlatan will not do!"
Head coach Allegri paced back and forth on the sidelines, stopping from time to time and looking up at the situation on the field, frowning.
From the perspective of competitive state, Ibrahimovic is in the best state of the entire team, because his state is so good that his teammates can't keep up with his rhythm.
Taking advantage of a chance for a sideline ball, Allegri blew his whistle, Van Bommel turned his head, he pointed in the direction of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and made a gesture of pressing his palms down.
Van Bommel nodded, then reached out and took Emmanuelsen's arm, motioning for him to pass the message.
Half an hour later, Dortmund at home led the visiting team AC Milan 1:0, and the total score became 3:1. The atmosphere on the scene was very frenzied, and Dortmund fans, led by diehard fans, made deafening shouts.
The Dortmund players on the field were encouraged by the fans to work harder. Their running distance, coverage and possession rate were all higher than those of the visiting AC Milan, occupying an absolute advantage.
German sky commentator Marcel Leif said a conscience: "Dortmund is characterized by being able to run. If AC Milan cannot suppress the home team at the tactical level, then they will not be able to reverse the defeat. Of course...if the stars shine, they can also create Miracle……"
In the 34th minute, AC Milan had a corner kick, Robinho took a corner kick from the right, Ibrahimovic overwhelmed Hummels and jumped high.
Looking at the football flying in mid-air, Ibrahimovic opened his arms naturally to maintain his balance, twisted his neck slightly to the right, and made a very standard prelude to a lion shaking his head.
At this moment, Ibrahimovic, who had jumped to the highest point, suddenly saw a yellow figure in front of him, and the football was ejected.
Ibrahimovic looked at the big Arabic numeral '1o' on the back and clenched his hands tightly.
He had a very strong premonition just now, if he can hit it, there will be at least an 80% chance of scoring a goal!
However, Tang Zheng's sudden intervention made his goal come to naught, and he was somewhat displeased.
He looked at Tang Zheng's back and swore secretly: "Boy, wait for me!"
Two minutes later, Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaned on Hummels, like a single in a basketball game, and motioned for Robinho to pass him the ball.
Robinho's upper body feint deceived Gundogan to shift his center of gravity, and then taking advantage of this time gap, the football rolled towards Ibrahimovic.
Hummels pushed against Ibrahimovic to prevent him from turning around, but this time Ibrahimovic's choice was different from the past. He had a right shoulder under his upper body before reaching out to catch the ball. Shen changes.
Hummels thought that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was going to cut into the inside line from the right from the stoppage, so he blocked the position by predicting in advance.
But Ibrahimovic did not break through from the right, but kept his huge body as a cover, and then stretched out his right foot to buckle the ball to the left, which happened to form a perfect pass with Hummels' prediction Pass.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is tall, but his feet are very flexible. This is directly related to the fact that he used to specialize in judo, and his body flexibility is different from ordinary people.
Hummels' body center of gravity has changed, and it is obviously impossible to stop Ibrahimovic.
The partner Subotic is still a little distance away. All he can do is to watch Zlatan Ibrahimovic cut into the line.
However, what surprised him was that the fans not only did not burst into exclamation, but instead made deafening shouts.
This... what's the situation?
At the same time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was shocked and wanted to stretch his foot to pull the football back under his feet, but one foot moved faster than him!
Tang Zheng's long leg stabbed at the football from the back up, his strength was well controlled, the direction was not towards the goal, but rolled towards the left side of the small penalty area.
Ibrahimovic was tackled in the penalty area by Tang Zheng due to inertia, got up from the ground and complained loudly to the referee: "This is a foul, didn't you see it? He violated me! This is a penalty kick !!"
Referee Damian Skomina pointed to his eyes, indicating that he could see very clearly.
Tang Zheng, who was pulled up by Hummels, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Only the weak will complain to the referee and ask for a penalty kick."
"What did you say?" Ibrahimovic's face suddenly sank.
Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "Only the weak will ask the referee for a penalty, can't you hear clearly? God Zlatan."
Especially the last sentence "God Zlatan" is extremely heavy and full of irony.
The consecutive opportunities were destroyed by Tang Zheng, Ibrahimovic was very angry, and glared at Tang Zheng fiercely: "Shut up for me!"
"Are you out of your mind?" Tang Zheng remained unmoved, pointing to his temples with both hands.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in the world of football, has he ever been insulted like this?
His body actively leaned towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng is not the one who is afraid of getting into trouble, so he went up to meet him.
Their foreheads were pressed against their foreheads, and their four eyes were angry, like an angry bull, and neither of them would bow their heads first.
The fans at the scene were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, they made deafening boos, and the atmosphere at the Westfalen Stadium became even more frantic.
"Beep beep beep~"
The referee Damian Skomina found that the situation was not right, and quickly blew his whistle.
The players on both sides behaved calmly, they did not fish in troubled waters, but dragged Tang Zheng and Ibrahimovic away from the scene of the incident.
Damian Skomina blew his whistle, naturally he wouldn't let the two of them go easily, he signaled other irrelevant personnel to leave, then signaled Tang Zheng and Ibrahimovic to come to the open area, and warned them.
Under the supervision of the referee, they had a good attitude and shook hands and hugged each other.
But is it really so?
Do not……
It's not that simple!
They quarreled again in the next free kick defense, but quickly separated under the intervention of their teammates.
Dortmund coach Klopp frowned, returned to the coaching bench, and asked his assistant Zeliko Buvac: "How many yellow cards did Don carry?"
Zeliko Buvac quickly lowered his head and turned to the page recording players' red and yellow cards: "Two."
"Two?" Klopp was very troubled when he got this information, he had a premonition, as if Tang Zheng would get a yellow card in this game.
The suspension rules of the UEFA Champions League are different from those of the Bundesliga. The group stage will accumulate to the knockout round, and the accumulated three yellow cards will be automatically suspended for one game. If you get another yellow card next, you will be automatically suspended for every two yellow cards.
It is equivalent to saying that in the Champions League in the same season, if you get three, five, seven, or nine yellow cards, you will be automatically suspended for one game.
Of course, Klopp is not worried about the subsequent suspension, what he is worried about is Tang Zheng's third yellow card this season.
If Dortmund enters the quarter-finals of the Champions League and Tang Zheng gets a yellow card in this match, he will be automatically suspended in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
At that time, it will pose a huge threat to Dortmund's further progress.
So Klopp returned to the coach command area, waited for the dead ball to occur, and then reminded Tang Zheng to keep his head clear.
But plans often fail to keep up with changes.
In the 40th minute, Abbiati took a goal kick, Tang Zheng and Ibrahimovic jumped at the same time in the center circle, aiming for the football in the air.
Since the goals are the same, the bodies will naturally touch each other.
The football was thrown back to AC Milan to defend the half court by Tang Zheng, but when it landed, Ibrahimovic covered his right temple with both hands and fell to the ground, rolling over in pain.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Robinho was the closest. He swung his elbow at the referee, indicating that Tang Zheng elbowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Dortmund captain Kyle put his arms behind his back and put pressure on the referee: "This is a premeditated performance."
Tang Zheng even more innocently shrugged his shoulders, clasped his palms together, and faced the referee with an innocent face: "I didn't touch him, I'm sure! Very!"
The referee Damian Skomina looked serious, walked around Kyle, took out a yellow card from his trouser pocket, and pointed it at Tang Zheng.
"**!"
Seeing this scene, Klopp shook his right arm angrily, turned and walked towards the fourth official.
What are you really worried about, what are you doing!
