Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 77 Black Whistle?

In the league where Wang Po did not play, the offensive system that had been running smoothly in the past suddenly got stuck, and more players were seen fighting alone.

Neither Shinji Kagawa, Gundogan, nor Mkhitaryan can replace the role of No. 11 player Wang Po.

Only when the tide goes out will we know who is the true nucleus.

Wang Po's core position is beyond doubt.

Fortunately, Dortmund still leads Bayern Munich by 5 points in the standings, and the advantage is still there.

Losing points in rotation also made Tuchel think about the team's lineup and personnel issues.

The league, the Champions League, and the cup are three-tier battles. The physical requirements of the athletes are very high, and rotations must be carried out.

If the results are guaranteed under such an intensive schedule, and the players are to be prevented from being too tired, this will test Tuchel's wisdom.

Internal potential, this is another means of Tuchel, he set his sights on the bench.

The sidewalk is the focus of his consideration.

Compared with the heavily guarded center, the wing defense is relatively loose, and good wing players can drive the team's offense by themselves.

Most of the wide players in the team now have the ability to mobilize, control, and organize, but they don't have the effect of pulling the defense line and tearing the defense.

After a period of investigation, Tuchel set his target on an 18-year-old black French guy, his name is Ousmane Dembele.

Facing a young man of the same age as him, Wang Po got along very well with him, and he could understand all kinds of ideas during training.

In two consecutive rounds of league and cup matches, Wang Po cooperated with Ousmane Dembele many times and helped the black guy score his first career goal.

The rise of newcomers gave Tuchel one more choice in tactical personnel.

In the Champions League group stage, they faced Ajax in the Eredivisie League in two rounds, with one win and one tie, and four points.

As long as they get 1 point in the next round of the away game against Zenit St. Petersburg, they can qualify as the first in the group ahead of schedule.

In the cold winter, as a guest in St. Petersburg, Russia, an Eastern European country, this place is freezing cold, and the harsh natural environment makes the team here very uncomfortable.

On the contrary, the Russian team playing at home has no discomfort in this regard, coupled with the blessing of home fans, it will often explode with great combat effectiveness.

Definitely a tough nut to crack.

When they arrived at St. Petersburg Stadium, home of Zenit St. Petersburg, Wang Po and his Dortmund teammates were stunned.

The icy, biting wind pierces your skin like a knife and scrapes your bones fiercely.

After putting on the equipment and warming up, I felt that my feet were hard and numb.

The Bumblebee players looked like little bees that had taken a rest, with their necks curled up like little penguins, and their movements were very clumsy.

On the other hand, the players of the Zenit St. Petersburg team playing at home are full of vitality and fighting spirit.

Before this game, Zenit St. Petersburg ranked third in the group, retaining the hope of appearing, and it can be foreseen that the opponent will use the strength of the home court to score points.

Before the game, Tuchel repeatedly emphasized the difficulty of the game to the players, requiring everyone to play [-] points.

In terms of the starting lineup, Tuchel put the newly emerging star Ousmane Dembele into the starting lineup. Wang Po still sits in the middle and takes charge of the team's offense.

"beep"

A whistle blows and the game begins.

After all, Dortmund's strength is still higher, and they quickly gained control of the ball.

However, under the ice and snow, the turf is full of frozen soil, which is not flat, which seriously affects the conductivity of the ball.

This is definitely a disadvantage for the Dortmund team who play pass control.

The weather is cold. Although they have worked hard, the players of Dortmund are not fully warmed up at the beginning of the game, and the completion of technical movements cannot be guaranteed.

On the contrary, the members of the Zenit St. Petersburg team playing at home are alive and well. The team itself is famous for its body and strength.

Soon on the scene, the Dortmund team fell into a passive position. Players fell to the ground frequently, and it was not uncommon to see people turned on their backs.

Such a big move by the opponent caused dissatisfaction among the Dortmund players, and they protested to the referee one after another, but they were ignored.

This is indulgence, acquiescing to the opponent's big move.

The trend of the game gradually changed.

Something was wrong, Dortmund called a foul for a slight move, on the contrary, Zenit St. Petersburg's bigger move was allowed, and basically the fouls were blown to the Hornet.

Black whistle?

"what"

Wang Po screamed, encountered the opponent's back tackle, and even dribbled the ball and brought it down.

The turf under the permafrost looked like a concrete floor, and Wang Po was thrown into a mess all of a sudden, staring at him.

This is definitely a yellow card action, even a strict referee can give a ruby ​​card.

As a result, the referee not only did not show the opponent a yellow card warning, but did not even blow the whistle, and gave a gesture to continue the game.

It is simply incomprehensible, and the players of the Dortmund team are dumbfounded.

Grasping the short-term stupor of the Hornets defenders, the forward of Zenit St. Petersburg got a chance to score a one-handed goal. The Dortmund central defender reacted with a sliding shovel to block the shooting route. As a result, the Zenit forward fell to the ground.

"beep"

Whistle, red dot package.

Borussia Dortmund's central defender was sent off not to mention a red card, but also gave a penalty to Zenit St. Petersburg at home.

Unbelievable.

The players and coaches of the Dortmund team quit and surrounded the referee emotionally to protest.

Wang Po squeezed into the crowd and took off his socks, revealing his bruised calf that was shoveled by the opponent.

However, the referee did not pay attention to the demands of the Dortmund players, and the penalty was already firm.

"f..."

Tuchel rushed into the field, pointed at the referee and cursed the f language, the latter showed anger, and a ruby ​​card sent the German off the field.

Two red cards and a penalty.

Dortmund suffered a catastrophe.

This is not a natural disaster, this is a man-made disaster, caused by the referee.

This game is extremely important for Dortmund. In the next round, it will be difficult to face Paris, which also wants to compete for the first position in the group.

Therefore, the club made a plan before the game, and at all costs will determine the first qualifying group in this round of competition.

Changes are worse than plans, and the scale of the referee is simply speechless.

The penalty cannot be changed.

Zenit St. Petersburg did not waste this chance of a penalty kick and won it overnight, leading the Hornet 1-0 at home to Borussia Dortmund.
