After successfully scoring the goal, Wolfsburg's morale climbed directly to its peak.
And Dortmund is not bad either.
After all, they are a Bundesliga giant and the players have rich experience, so the Dortmund players did not panic at all after the game started.
In the 37th minute of the game, Kyle took the ball along the right wing to the front of the offensive third zone.
At this time, Wolfsburg's nine players returned to their own backcourt to participate in the defense.
"Robin!!!! Fill in!!!!!!"
Seeing that Durm had reached the outside of the penalty area, Rodriguez, who was in the rib area, immediately shouted and then went straight to Durm.
However, as soon as Rodriguez left, Mkhitaryan, who came up along the ribs, got directly behind him.
But Knoch, who came from the center to fill in, was not slow either. He quickly blocked Mkhitaryan in the right rib area at the top of the arc.
At this moment, Kyle passed the ball.
He did not look for Durm on the wing, but passed directly to Mkhitaryan in the right rib area at the top of the arc.
His passing line selection was very subtle, with a slight curve, which prevented Caligiuri, who was standing between the two, from intercepting the ball.
Outside the upper right corner of the penalty area, Knoch quickly approached and did not allow Mkhitaryan, who was facing him, to complete his turn and face the goal.
However, Knoch's plan failed in the next second.
The moment he pushed forward, Mkhitaryan suddenly bent his back and turned around forcefully, and kicked the ball past his crotch with his right foot.
At this moment, Knoch's whole body shivered, and he knew that his intentions had been guessed.
Passing Knoch, Mkhitaryan crossed the end line of the penalty area and saw Aubameyang in the middle being sandwiched by Naldo and Vierinha, so he immediately changed his original plan.
However, just as he was about to hit the goal with his right foot, a white figure suddenly appeared on the left side.
Suddenly, Mhita's conscience was enlightened. He quickly poked the baseline with his right foot, and then started to follow up.
However, the next second, Chu Zheng's figure unreasonably pushed him to the back.
When Mkhitaryan saw Chu Zheng protecting the ball without touching it, he knew what Chu Zheng wanted to do.
So he chased Chu Zheng and harassed him from left to right, trying to get the ball back.
However, at a distance of three to four meters, Chu Zheng in front of him was as unshakable as a mountain, so Mkhitaryan could only watch the ball roll out of the baseline.
On the sidelines, Klopp looked at Chu Zheng and frowned in thought.
He knows Mkhitaryan very well.
This player is not strong enough and is not very good at using his body to fight, but he will definitely not be in the same embarrassing situation just now.
Klopp felt that Chu Zheng was getting stronger again. This discovery made him feel a little incredible.
After so many years in world football, he has never seen a young player like Chu Zheng who has improved so quickly.
"Chu Zheng's body is getting stronger and stronger."
"From trying to avoid physical confrontation with opposing players at the beginning of the season to now actively seeking physical confrontation, this change is extremely obvious."
"Chu Zheng's current body has reached the upper level in the five major leagues!"
Knoch turned around and saw Chu Zheng protecting the ball all the way out of the baseline, and he suddenly smiled brightly.
It’s great to have such a backcourt partner! This is the truest thought deep in his heart at this time.
In the few games he started with Chu Zheng, Knoch played very comfortably and felt at ease like never before.
Because Chu Zheng would come back in time to fill his position almost every time, or direct them to set up defenses.
Knoch had never experienced this kind of security when Gustavo and Gilavogui played as a defensive midfielder before.
Every time their midfield defense is penetrated, they and Naldo have to face the opponent's sharp troops, extremely passive.
In the next five minutes, both sides fought back and forth with several waves of attacks.
But both teams defended very well today and did not allow their opponents to get too many chances.
However, just as the first half of the game came to the last minute, the crisis suddenly appeared.
In the 45th minute of the game, Dortmund seized the best opportunity in the first half and launched a super-high-quality counterattack.
Mkhitaryan received a precise direct pass from Gundogan at the top of the arc in his own center circle.
After letting the ball turn around, Mkhitaryan started directly.
On the sidelines, seeing this sudden excellent offensive opportunity, Klopp and Dieter Heijing both jumped up from the coaching bench and walked quickly to the coaching area.
It's just that Klopp was a surprise, while Dieter Heijing was frightened.
"Opportunity for Dortmund!"
"Three against two and a half!!!!" Zhan Jun quickly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and stared at the big TV in the studio without blinking.
"Haha!!!!" Zhang Lu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, laughing so hard that Zhan Jun also laughed.
The two of them were having fun as if their laughter points had been tapped.
On the field, in front of Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang quickly pulled to the right rib area, leaving the middle open to Mkhitaryan.
And Royce, who quickly inserted along the left wing, also inserted diagonally towards the left rib area to contain Naldo who retreated along the rib area.
Aubameyang and Reus' off-the-ball movement directly restrained Naldo and Knoch who retreated in time.
At this time, from the perspective of the broadcast, the four people formed an anti-arch curve.
Apart from Naldo and Knoch, only Chu Zheng from Wolfsburg could keep up with Dortmund's counterattack.
At this time, Chu Zheng's legs on the court were moving very fast, and he followed Mkhitaryan and continued to chase.
Although it looks like he is still four or five positions behind, Chu Zheng is obviously faster than Mkhitaryan and is rapidly shortening the distance between them.
Therefore, what Zhan Jun said about two and a half is correct. In the current situation, Chu Zheng can indeed only be considered a half defensive player.
But in fact, if Chu Zheng keeps up with the current trend, he will definitely catch up with Mkhitaryan at the top of the arc.
In the stands on all sides, there were more than 70,000 fans from Wolfsburg and Dortmund combined. At this time, everyone was very nervous.
One side is full of expectations, while the other side is full of fear!
Under such anxious waiting, Wolfsburg and Dortmund quickly decided the winner on the field in a way that no one could have expected.
At the top of the arc, thirty meters in the middle, Chu Zheng caught up with Mkhitaryan.
In full view of everyone, Chu Zheng directly hit Mkhitaryan from the right rear side and actively rear-ended him!
Mkhitaryan was like a wall without a foundation, leaning directly to one side and looking crumbling.
But this guy is worthy of being publicly praised by Knopp as a talented player who combines technique and speed in an incredible way.
Even though his center of gravity was tilted, he still pushed the ball forward with his feet, then shifted his center of gravity back and continued chasing the ball.
On Chu Zheng's side, plan A failed. He caught up with the ball again and fell to the ground to tackle the ball.
The next second, Mkhitaryan was knocked over by Chu Zheng and fell to the ground.
The ball was kept at Chu Zheng's feet. It was an extremely clean tackle!
Watching this scene happen, a sudden ear-splitting wailing sound erupted from the Dortmund stands.
Waves of cheers erupted from the Wolfsburg stands.
On the sidelines, Dieter Heijing pumped his fists to vent the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Klopp, who was next to him, turned his face angrily and went back to sit on the coaching bench!
"pretty!!!!"
“Very clean defense!!!!!”
"Chu Zheng once again resolved the team's crisis!!!!!" Zhan Jun's words were filled with joy in the LeTV Sports live broadcast room.
"Before the game, some European media expressed concerns about Dieter Heijing letting Chu Zheng play as a midfielder, fearing that Wolfsburg's defense would be unstable!"
"But in fact, judging from Chu Zheng's activity heat maps in the previous two games, Chu Zheng's sweep and coverage in the midfielder position is very large!"
"In addition, Chu Zheng's physical fitness has been improved now, and he is as fast as a speed forward, so he can go back and forth in time."
"Look at Mkhitaryan, a typical quick and agile striker, but in the blink of an eye he was quickly caught up by Chu Zheng!"
"Chu Zheng playing as a defensive midfielder is actually an arrangement that kills two birds with one stone. He can not only stabilize the defense in the backcourt, but also display his offensive talents!"
who.
Compliment the hat-wearing Xiao Zhang in the stands?
On the field, Mkhitaryan, who was lying on the ground, was extremely upset.
In anger, he slapped the earth twice hard with both hands!
Reus and Aubameyang, whose left and right ribs were empty, also looked helpless at this time.
