384 Lightning Two
There were only a few Dortmund fans in the stands of St. Petersburg Stadium cheering for Tang Hong's goal.
First, the game is held in the middle of the week, and second, the long journey takes a lot of time, and the inconvenience of the journey is relatively tight, which makes the number of fans coming to the away game relatively small.
But this did not prevent them from still celebrating enthusiastically in the cold weather.
"Tang Hong ravaged the defense line of Zenit in St. Petersburg! This is a goal that completely destroys the opponent's defense line!
If Dortmund was threatening the defense line of St. Petersburg through team cooperation before Reus passed the ball, then everything changed when the ball reached Tang Hong's feet!
Fake shot, troll the ball and change direction, spike the ball and then make the shot change direction. Even when facing the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal, Tang Hong used his usual tricks repeatedly and tried to use fake moves that suspected of passing the ball, which deceived goalkeeper Lodijin's center of gravity.
He was simply committing crimes against Zenit, St. Petersburg!
But this also shows his super personal ability.
Last season's UEFA Champions League Golden Boot, Tang Hong, who is striking Ged Mueller's goal record in the Bundesliga this season, took the lead for Dortmund. This is bad news for St. Petersburg Zenit, who made Dortmund score a away goal.
Or don't consider the away goal factor first. In terms of the outcome of the game, it may not be easy for St. Petersburg Zenit to turn the tables at home.
St. Petersburg Zenit 0:1 Dortmund.”
After Tang Hong scored a goal, his teammates came to celebrate together. Mkhitaryan smiled at him and said, "It's great to play with slow and fast, the rhythm is really good!"
Tang Hong smiled.
If he had been two years ago, he would definitely have worked harder than his opponent in the game and had stronger impact. He tried to drive the rhythm with speed and mobilize his state with faster rhythm.
But that would easily make himself wander outside the team's tactical system, and Braga had made such a mistake.
Today, he is better at making the most reasonable ball control changes based on his observation of the situation and his opponent's ability.
There is a common problem for teams like Zenit, who started out with foreign players, which has a common problem, which exists in many European second-rate leagues that rely on foreign players to make a fortune.
Head heavy and light feet.
Neto, Lombards, or Faizulin in the midfield, Shatov and others want to curb the top offensive combination like Dortmund, it is simply a delusion.
It’s not that St. Petersburg Zenit is unwilling to strengthen the defense line, but that the investment is not as good as buying offensive players in terms of cost-effectiveness. At the same time, first-class defensive players are also expensive and often have no market value. Moreover, clubs that can truly recognize the value of these players will also give corresponding high-paying benefits, and there is no need to hang out in second-rate European leagues.
Therefore, even if teams like Zenit in St. Petersburg cannot be underestimated, their defensive hardware also determines that it is difficult for them to become dark horses at the Champions League level.
For example, Manchester United's defense line was recognized by the world as the world's most despicable, but even Ferdinand and Vidic no longer have much value, as long as they are in good condition and experience bonus, they can still have first-class effects. In addition, De Gea, who has a hidden plug-in, such Manchester United still withstands Bayern Munich's storm. At the same time, it is also inevitable that the crazy front line in the knockout round will continue to score goals to advance to the finals.
If Zenit, a St. Petersburg, thought that the Siberian cold wave could make Dortmund difficult here, they would be too naive.
After conceding the ball, Zenit from St. Petersburg quickly launched a fast break, and seemed to be dissatisfied with conceding the ball, and neither did he stabilize the situation?
There is no clear idea?
The goal with only Dortmund in his iron head and eyes: I just want to attack!
Courage is commendable.
Hulk made a cross from the side, and Longdong's header in the penalty area did not exert force?
The football was caught by Weidenfeller in front of the goal line after passing a parabola?
No threat.
Weidenfell did not launch a fast break. Dortmund did not intend to compete with St. Petersburg Zenit in the offensive rhythm today?
There is also a second round that can play a backhand, but the first round is not as good as the time, place and people?
What is relying on hard power is the acceptable result?
What's more, the score is now ahead.
Why are you in a hurry?
Dortmund never showed a look of being so angry that it might have misled St. Petersburg Zenit, making them mistakenly think that Dortmund would be content even if he had a goal in the lead.
Dortmund just plays slowly and steadily?
It doesn't mean they will let go.
When Weidenfeller threw the ball to Schmelzer?
The front-court attack group of Zenit, St. Petersburg, quickly stepped forward to counterattack like a chicken blood.
Dortmund naturally passed the ball forward to instigate the offensive.
Gundoan and Mkhitaryan made an easy half-time push.
When he encountered an opponent's midfield interception, Gundogan sent the ball diagonally to the middle of the frontcourt.
Lewandowski received the ball and the defenders rushed towards him. Lewandowski hit the ball across the left side in front of the penalty area.
When Tang Hong dribbled into the penalty area while cutting inward, was Needou?
Ahnukov formed a joint defense to block his front, and Vitsel was behind him to pursue him.
Lewandowski's forward insertion in the middle leads Lombardz to follow the defense in close proximity?
Fayzulin also came to Tang Hong from the back.
Tang Hong, who was surrounded by enemies, couldn't move. Since there was no room for possession?
He stayed there and passed the ball to the right with his left foot.
Everyone's eyes turned?
What caught my eye was Reus's cut to the point?
Cricito is chasing?
Shatov also rushed from the back. Reus took the ball to find Lewandowski. After the ball was taken, he quickly stepped forward. Lombards pressed closely, but Lewandowski took the initiative to drift back and pulled away from him. Then he turned the ball halfway and turned the ball in a diagonal way. Royce ran in front.
Beautiful cross-cutting and fit.
Reus shot with a strong shot, and the football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, goalkeeper Lodikin's save was pale and powerless!
Reus, who had finished scoring, trotted to Lewandowski, and Tang Hong also walked over. The three of them hugged each other, and it seemed that the goal was extremely relaxed.
The fans of Zenit, St. Petersburg were shocked!
Dortmund is so strong!
"Royce scored a strong shot! Dortmund scored two goals in 2 minutes!
Zenit, St. Petersburg, must have been fooled!
No one would have thought that they would fall behind two goals less than 10 minutes at home.
Dortmund is completely prepared. It seems that the cold weather in Russia has not made it difficult for Dortmund to score a goal.
This time Dortmund fully demonstrated the strength of the team!
The position advancement from the backcourt to the frontcourt is pleasing to the eye, and Tang Hong's key first pass in the penalty area is just right. Reus finally completed the wall-to-smash with Lewandowski. Although it is simple, it is also a textbook-level cooperation!
As we all know, Lewandowski has signed a contract with Bayern Munich, and he will play for Bayern Munich next season.
Even so, Dortmund still regards Lewandowski as an unshakable main center, because in terms of ability, Lewandowski is the best player in Dortmund's current center position. Even if German media criticized him for having reservations on the court in the past few months, this cannot shake his position in Dortmund!
Instead of considering how to win the game back, I think what they need to think more about now is how not to concede more goals!
Even though blindly attacking Dortmund's defense line creates a threat, it will definitely put the defense line under greater pressure!
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Dortmund did not try his best and acted relatively cautiously. I can't imagine how St. Petersburg Zenit would deal with it once Dortmund starts to take the initiative to speed up!"
Klopp clapped and clapped with a smile on the sidelines. This start was simply fantastic for Dortmund, and it also meant that his tactical deployment was correct.
Bald Spalletti has no expression on his face. In fact, leading St. Petersburg Zenit into the Champions League knockout stage is already a record that can be compared. Whether he can go further depends on his luck. He draws the draw to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and has achieved the best record in the Bundesliga this season. He is basically a draw that can prepare for his funeral.
A strong home attack to win an advantage is to stage a decisive battle ahead of time.
Because with the strength of St. Petersburg, how could it bet on the West* Stadium with his life with Dortmund?
Home court is their only chance, but now it seems that I will be grateful if I can avoid being massacred by Dortmund!
Zenit, St. Petersburg, was indeed stunned by these two consecutive hits and was a little timid.
After the kickoff, he did not dare to attack forcefully, and the rhythm slowed down. The midfielder paid more attention to defense and did not dare to press too hard on the formation. Once Dortmund took the ball and started attacking, the midfield quickly retreated and compressed the defense space in the backcourt, and it became the first reaction.
Dortmund was even more calm and calm in his hands. He organized the offensive slowly. After the attack advanced to the frontcourt and entered a dangerous area, he pushed the opponent's overall formation back to the backcourt. Even after all the midfielders retreated to the front of the penalty area, they launched their last pass or shot, which would ensure that the counterattack threat of Zenit from St. Petersburg was suppressed to the lowest level.
Although Dortmund did not play fast, he completely controlled the dominance of the game. Zenit, St. Petersburg, was forced to fight back instead.
This way the game began to become a bit dull.
Tang Hong passes when he can get a match in the frontcourt, and if he has the chance, he will shoot a long shot to minimize breakthroughs.
After all, it has changed from being caught off guard by a fast attack to being a positional battle.
The changes in the situation naturally changed his game.
He has matured, and Dortmund has matured as a whole.
Zenit, St. Petersburg, often fell into a single fight in a quick counterattack, Hulk rushed around, and Alshavin was no longer elegant and light, and it was a bit reluctant to pass one, let alone defeat Dortmund's entire defense line.
Poor Longdong kept running back and forth in the middle and frontcourt, but his teammates regarded him as air.
I have to say that in terms of value and fame, he really has no say.
Chapter completed!
