Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng didn't understand Ozil's smile, but out of politeness he also smiled slightly, and then shook hands with the next Werder Bremen player.

This league is very important to Dortmund. They won three consecutive league victories in the past and entered the top six in the league. However, many German media think that Dortmund's results are not convincing. After all, all the strong teams they face are only home 2: 0 beat Schalke 04.

Considering the particularity of the derby in the Ruhr area, the victory of that game was also greatly discounted, which means that this away game against Werder Bremen can only show that Dortmund has made significant progress this season.

So far, Dortmund has not won any away games against strong teams. They lost 1:4 to Hamburg in the second round of the league, and lost 0:2 to Leverkusen in the eighth round.

These two games fully show that Dortmund's away game ability is weak, and it has a serious tendency to be a dragon at home.

Think about it too, in the past eleven rounds of the league, they have won four at home and two draws in the past six rounds and remained unbeaten. In five away league games, they won two wins, one draw and two losses. In the two victories, the opponents were either relegation teams or newly promoted teams. There is not much suspense, and there is not much persuasiveness.

From another perspective, the media is not very optimistic about Dortmund's away trip.

However, after ten minutes of the game, Werder Bremen, who have always been good at attacking like a tide, has not yet posed any threat to Dortmund's defense. Their midfielder Ozil seems to be in great trouble in the middle, but he is a guest. Dortmund played brilliantly.

Head coach Schaaf stood on the sidelines and shook his head repeatedly. Ozil's ability is unquestionable, but he has a fatal shortcoming that he is too poor in physical confrontation, or afraid of physical confrontation.

Facing Tang Zheng, who has an advantage in height and weight, there is nothing he can do. In addition, there is also a full-time defensive midfielder Sven Bender, so he plays very awkwardly.

The double defensive midfielders Frings and Borowski really want to help Ozil, but Klopp has targeted deployment in this game. They dare not go too far, and are more afraid of Dortmund's quick counterattack.

They can only plug in after trying occasionally, but they will always be noticed by Tang Zheng, who has a good sense of position.

So no matter whether the two of them run in or pass the ball, they are not rewarded accordingly.

German sky commentator Marcel Leif said excitedly: Don's performance is really outstanding. He has restricted Werder Bremen's offense very much during this period. I can now say responsibly that if it wasn't for Don's excellent performance in defense, I guess the goal guarded by Weidenfeller has been broken...

The continuous defense made Klopp smell a little danger. He knew that Werder Bremen coached by Schaff was a rare offensive madman in the Bundesliga.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a newly promoted or Bayern Munich, it is just one word - do it!

It is very scary for this kind of team to go crazy, either you die or I die!

And there are often big scores...

Two minutes later, Klopp took advantage of a dead ball and made a subtle gesture towards Tang Zheng to strengthen his attack.

Seeing Klopp's gesture, Tang Zheng nodded fiercely, because he had been waiting for a long time!

The ultimate defense can only ensure that the team does not lose, but it will never help the team win the game.

Offensive is different, as long as one more goal is scored than the other side, it is victory!

※※※

As the game time slowly passed, Werder Bremen, who was at home, began to feel the momentum of the visiting team's counterattack.

Their transition from defense to offense is often not too complicated, using Tang Zheng's precise long pass to hang to the two sides, Kuba and Gross Kreutz are the kind of fast players, often able to cause A certain threat.

Especially Werder Bremen's defensive right, which is also Dortmund's offensive left, is where Tang Zheng focused on the long pass.

Fritz is not a professional right back, his defensive awareness is not as good as a real right back.

Gross Kreutz quickly took the ball and cut into the line once,

If it weren't for Naldo's timely protection, Dortmund could take the lead in breaking the deadlock with a quick counterattack.

In this regard, Schaff had to ask the team to pay attention to the number of people in the attack, and asked the two full-backs not to press at the same time.

The forward pressing range of the double defensive midfielders Frings and Borowski is also limited. The support of the frontcourt core Ozil is getting smaller and smaller, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

The partner of Tang Zheng and Sven Bender has been very stable in the past four rounds of the league. In addition, the two usually communicate a lot in private. In many cases, the defense only needs a look to know what the other party needs. Rovsky's support seems to be helpless.

It's not that Frings and Borowski didn't want to support, but that they didn't dare to rely too much on Dortmund's efficient and quick counterattack.

Frings is 33 years old this year. He has rich experience in the game and has a precise long-range shot. However, his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of his youth, especially the speed of returning to defense.

Borowski's best position is not the defensive midfielder, but the attacking midfielder. Now Ozil, who plays the midfielder, is performing well. He plays on the wing and lacks speed. For a starting position, he can only choose the midfielder. Waist, but his mobility is a problem, and his speed is slower than Frings who is over 30 years old...

Tang Zheng's ability to read the game is very strong. He was keenly aware that Werder Bremen began to pay attention to defense, so he made eye contact with Sven Bender, and consciously increased his forward speed.

The long pass counterattack can bring very good results, but it will lose its effect if used frequently, especially the two tall central defenders Mertesacker and Naldo have strengthened the defense on the side, and the long pass counterattack is quite effective. Yu took the initiative to return possession to Werder Bremen.

Moreover, long-pass counterattacks are not Dortmund's best offensive method. They threaten Werder Bremen's goal through fluid running and extremely penetrating passes.

Hajnaur is the kind of traditional attacking midfielder who is short in stature and flexible and good at passing through balls. Coupled with Tang Zheng's back penetration and targeted passing, Werder Bremen gradually fell into a passive position at home.

Therefore, the Werder Bremen fans at the Weser Stadium felt very depressed. They had been playing against Dortmund before. Why did the situation change after a while?

Unscientific!

In fact, part of the reason is that Werder Bremen is too good at attacking. They may not have exposed many problems against other Bundesliga teams, but facing Dortmund, who gradually understands Klopp's offensive and defensive philosophy, is a bit difficult.

Especially the midfielder Ozil's role in defense is completely negligible. Dortmund is different. Any player must run when defending.

Even Barrios, who is at the top, must force Werder Bremen's backcourt players to form an effective close defense and cut the opponent's effective pass.

※※※

Ozil played very depressed. His characteristics were not fully displayed in this game. He is not good at physical confrontation, and sometimes it is even difficult for him to control the ball at his feet.

No, at the twenty-third minute of the game, Tang Zheng stepped forward with his long legs when Ozil stopped the ball too much, first got stuck in the position, and then pouted his butt to block Ozil. behind.

Tang Zheng, who got the football, didn't pass the ball immediately. He saw that the distance between Frings and Borowski was a bit far, so he simply moved the ball forward.

For Tang Zheng's sudden change, Frings and Borowski were a little unexpected. In the past, Tang Zheng's first reaction after getting the ball was to pass the ball, but now he chooses to bring it himself?

Borowski made eye contact with captain Frings, and then strode towards Tang Zheng.

Even if you can't steal the ball successfully, you must at least stop the football in place.

Ozil looked at the big '6' and felt very upset.

It doesn't matter if you're more handsome than me, and you're still stealing my limelight at my home court?

Can't!

As a result, Schaff, who was standing on the sidelines, rarely saw Ozil take the initiative to return to the defense.

Tang Zheng noticed that Borowski was rushing over, and he flicked the ball to the front right from a distance away, changing direction!

Borowski is tall and burly, with a high center of gravity, so it is difficult to turn his body in the first place, and the space distance keeps him away from Tang Zheng, which means that his active defense this time is tantamount to useless work.

Just when he was regretting, seeing Ozil take the initiative to return to the defense and chase after Tang Zheng, he felt a little better.

But when he stopped suddenly and ran back, he suddenly thought of Schaf's key advice before the game-if Tang himself took the ball and attacked forward, he must not let him speed up.

The meaning is obvious, that is, Tang Zheng with full speed is like a giant sports car, unstoppable!

really!

Gritting his teeth and running with all his strength, Ozil didn't narrow the distance with Tang Zheng, but widened it.

In the process of fighting and retreating, Frings wondered whether he should take the initiative to defend, but he worried that he would be passed like Borowski.

Next, Tang Zheng helped him make a choice.

Tang Zheng passed the ball to Haynauer in a half-circle arc on his side, and then moved forward without the ball.

As the last barrier in front of the central defender, Frings must focus on defending the ball handler.

As for Tang Zheng who runs without the ball, there will naturally be defenders paying attention.

After chasing for more than ten meters, Ozil found that he hadn't shortened the distance with Tang Zheng. The strong heart unique to young people made him speed up with all his strength.

It's just... Tang Zheng running without the ball is faster.

Not only did the distance between the two not shrink, but it was stretched wider and wider.

Seeing Frings coming up, Hajnaur pushed the ball horizontally, and the ball returned to Tang Zheng's feet on the center line.

It was too late for Frings to defend Tang Zheng.

At this time, the tall central defender Naldo rushed up.

Right foot forward, slide the shovel down!

Ooh-oh--

A burst of shouts erupted from the sky above the Weser Stadium, cheering for Naldo!

However, the next moment, the sound stopped abruptly.

Tang Zheng stepped forward on the ball with his long left leg, and then pulled the ball back violently, just avoiding Naldo's reckless shovel, and then his right foot alternated to pull the ball, The body faces the attacking direction again!

Oh-My-God!! Marcel Leif exclaimed: Marseille roundabout! (To be continued.)
