December 17, Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Signal Iduna Park Stadium.
This stadium is a UEFA five-star stadium and the largest stadium in Germany, with a capacity of 83,000 fans.
It's 18:00, two hours before the start of the game, but the venue is already open, and a large number of fans are entering the stadium in an orderly manner.
Viewed from above the stadium, the Signal Iduna Park stadium at this time is like a reservoir. In the numerous fan channels in the stands on all sides, countless Dortmund fans wearing yellow jerseys are pouring into the stadium like a trickle.
An hour later, the 83,000 spectator seats in the stadium were packed to capacity.
Even the 25,000 standing seats in the South Stand were packed to capacity.
At 19:15, the yellow and green buses from Dortmund and Wolfsburg drove into the Signal Iduna Park Stadium one after another.
When Chu Zheng got off the car, the Chinese reporters outside the fences on both sides of the aisle immediately raised their long guns and short cannons to pay close attention to Chu Zheng.
"Zhang! Chu is your compatriot. If you have a good relationship with him and have his help, your situation at Wolfsburg may be much better, and your integration into the team may be accelerated!"
"I asked a few old friends about it. Chu's status in Wolfsburg is very high now. He has the same status as the team's offensive core Kevin De Bruyne. Head coach Dieter Heijing
Trust him immensely!”
Behind the crowd of reporters, two men, one tall and one short, started walking and talking after Chu Zheng's figure disappeared.
Hearing Max's words, Zhang Xizhe shook his head, smiled a little shyly and said: "Thomas, but I am not familiar with him, we are strangers!"
"Then what!" Thomas' mouth opened slightly, his face speechless, "Zhang, he is Chinese and your compatriot. You have a natural closeness with him. This is the only way for you to quickly integrate into Wolfsburg.
A shortcut!! Don’t tell me you’re ready to give up!”
Seeing Zhang Xizhe's shy smile, Thomas shook his head and smiled bitterly. This kind of character made him doubt whether Zhang Xizhe could stand firm in Wolfsburg.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to 19:55, and the players of Wolfsburg and Dortmund had already appeared on the stage under the leadership of referee Dingette to perform pre-match handshakes and other ceremonies.
The game broadcast screen showed the starting lineups of both sides in a timely manner.
Attacking midfielder: Pesilic, De Bruyne, Vierinha
Midfielder: Gustavo Gustavo
Defenders: Rodriguez, Chu Zheng, Naldo, Sebastian Rong
Goalkeeper: Benaglio
"Dortmund has hit rock bottom this season. Currently, 15 rounds of the Bundesliga have passed. Their record is 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses. They are ranked third from the bottom in the Bundesliga standings and have entered the relegation zone. They have scored 15 goals and lost 10 goals.
22 balls!”
"However, what makes matters worse is that after losing 1-0 to Hertha Berlin in the last round, major players such as Reus and Mkhitaryan will miss all recent games due to injuries. This may further push Dortmund into the abyss!"
"As for Wolfsburg, after being held to a 1-1 draw by Paderborn in the last round, they are now only two points behind Bayern."
"Bayern defeated Freiburg 2-0 yesterday, so if Wolfsburg cannot beat Dortmund in this game, Wolfsburg may lose the first half of the Bundesliga championship that they have already grasped!"
When Duan Xuan and Yang Chen were talking, the barrage in the live broadcast room was also very lively.
The number of barrages today gives the impression that the number of viewers has doubled.
Recently, due to the successful transfer of domestic Zhang Xizhe to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, many domestic fans have begun to pay attention to the Bundesliga team Wolfsburg due to extensive media reports.
"Oh, he looks quite handsome! This is Zhang Xizhe, right?"
"That's right! Didn't you say he was an attacking midfielder? Why did he move to the center back position?"
"Brothers, don't pay attention to this idiot!"
"..."
Many comments on the barrage made people laugh or cry. These newcomers actually mistook Chu Zheng for Zhang Xizhe.
It's 20 o'clock Berlin time.
BJ time 03 o'clock sharp.
With the referee Dingette's whistle, the game officially kicked off.
On the field, after the game started, Dortmund did not hold back at all and quickly launched a high-pressing attack on Wolfsburg.
The Dortmund fans in the stands were not idle either. Once Wolfsburg got the ball, they immediately booed overwhelmingly.
On the Wolfsburg side, because Dieter Heijing adopted a conservative tactical strategy in this game, the team's offense no longer used crazy attacks to suppress the opponent like a wolf pack like in the past, but in the middle and back.
Short pass control in the field.
But soon the scene that the more than 70,000 Dortmund fans wanted to see came!
In the 58th second of the game, Wolfsburg continued to control the ball in the two halves at the top of the key and transferred it back and forth.
On Dortmund's side, Aubameyang, Immobile and Gundogan were very active in pressing high.
But with Chu Zheng's broad vision, and Gustavo and Gilavoji's timely retreat, the four of them outplayed Aubameyang's trio.
But the danger still came unexpectedly.
Benaglio received Chu Zheng's return pass and quickly distributed the ball to the right.
As a result, Naldo actually stopped the ball two meters away.
Just as Jingdong settled next to him, he jumped out.
After making the mistake, Naldo also reacted very quickly. He quickly seized the position and stuck Gundogan behind him.
But Naldo can guard against the rear but not the front.
Immobile quickly jumped in along the middle, took the lead at the top of the arc, and directly raised his foot to stuff the rolling ball out.
At the same time, Gundogan behind Naldo quickly penetrated from the left rib, got Immobile's through ball, and then rushed to the bottom line before Naldo who followed up completely blocked the passing line.
Pass the ball crosswise and hit the goal post.
On the right end line of the small penalty area, Aubameyang is in place.
However, just when he was about to take off and swing his head to attack the goal, Chu Zheng, who rushed quickly from the center in front of him, jumped first.
At this moment, Aubameyang's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
What the hell kind of jumping ability is this?
Seeing Chu Zheng heading the ball to the right behind him, Aubameyang looked helpless.
With this kind of jumping ability, even if he jumps up to fight, it will be useless, and there is no way he will succeed.
"fool!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seeing Chu Zheng's wonderful goal clearance, the more than 70,000 Dortmund fans at the scene collectively let out a rapid exclamation, followed by an overwhelming boo.
"Oh my God!!!" Thomas held his head in his hands in the crowd of two thousand Wolfsburg fans in the east stand, with a look of shock on his face, "Zhang, your compatriot's jumping ability is amazing! God, I
I just thought I saw Ronaldo!!"
Zhang Xizhe was still dazed, and he didn't hear clearly in the noisy scene.
But at this moment, he was shocked!
He now finally understands why Chu Zheng squeezed out Wolfsburg's main center back Knoch in just a few months.
Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, Chu Zheng just jumped high enough to make the save.
But in Zhang Xizhe's view, Chu Zheng's goal was very extraordinary.
From the moment Naldo made a mistake, he had been paying attention to Chu Zheng's position selection in the penalty area.
Standing in the middle, Chu Zheng saw Naldo blocking Gundoan on the outside, and he kept slowly retreating to the side of the goalpost.
what does that mean?
This means that Chu Zheng smelled the danger in advance!
Sure enough, Aubameyang, who was outflanking from behind, was caught by him as soon as he came up!
In addition, Chu Zheng's control of the timing of the rescue was really precise.
The ball is like an object flying in a parabolic missile.
It was about to hit the target, but Chu Zheng was like an interceptor missile rising into the sky, accurately hitting the nuclear warhead sent by Gundogan.
"Damn it! Give me your attention!!!!"
After clearing the ball out of the sideline, Chu Zheng turned back, glared and roared angrily!
Naldo looked embarrassed and raised his hand to signal to Chu Zheng!
"Fuck!!"
"Who is this guy! So domineering! He even dares to yell at Naldo!!"
"66666! The monkey is going to put on the armor and become a great saint!"
"Tsk tsk, this is genius. From a little transparent person who no one cares about to a defense commander, Chu Zheng's status in Wolfsburg has undergone earth-shaking changes in just three months!"
"Oh, it turns out this guy is Chu Zheng!"
"This defensive style is so fierce, I kind of like this kid!!"
"..."
Seeing Chu Zheng's wide-eyed, somewhat ferocious face in the camera, the comments on the barrage became more intensive.
Soon, Wolfsburg responded with a sharper attack.
In the 2nd minute of the game, Dortmund once again launched a very threatening offensive.
But they still couldn't get past the defensive gate of Wolfsburg Chu Zheng.
Aubameyang dribbled the ball from the wing and passed it diagonally to Bender in the left front rib.
The moment Bender caught the ball, he was flanked by Gustavo and Chu Zheng.
But this guy was very alert. Before the front and rear space was compressed, he changed direction to the left and ran the ball laterally toward the top of the key.
Chu Zheng immediately followed up laterally, and Gustavo took advantage of the situation to fill Chu Zheng's position.
But Bender took a few steps and chose to cross the ball to Gundogan in the middle.
At this moment, Chu Zheng's running position changed, and he quickly ran towards the top of the arc.
The next second, Gundogan sent a through ball from the left side of the arc, trying to pass it to Grosskreutz.
As a result, the ball was robbed halfway by Chu Zheng as soon as it entered the top of the arc!
"fool!!!!!!"
The more than 70,000 Dortmund fans present were once again so angry that they jumped in the stands and described a wave of people.
But this is not over yet!
Chu Zheng intercepted the ball at his feet and quickly turned around. He swung his left foot over and suddenly hit the bottom of the ball.
On the right side of Wolfsburg's center circle, De Bruyne and Chu Zheng formed an amazing passing and running understanding.
He received a long pass from Chu Zheng, then took advantage of the situation, took the ball along the ribs and charged towards the Dortmund penalty area.
A few seconds later, Dost in the middle rushed to the top edge of the arc and suddenly slowed down.
At this moment, De Bruyne suddenly made a cross while running with the ball at high speed, and passed the ball out from the three people on the left and behind.
Dost picked up the ball with his back, leaned on the Dortmund center back Subotic behind him, and kicked the ball towards Dortmund's right rib area with his left foot.
Then Perisic followed up.
But Dortmund's right back Durm was not slow either, and he blocked Perisic's incoming route in time.
In the end, Perisic was forced to kick on the left side of the penalty area.
Although the ball escaped Durm's blockage, it hit the far side post and rolled out of the baseline!
On the sidelines, Klopp stood in the coaching area with his chest crossed, and his eyes had turned to Chu Zheng in the Wolfsburg backcourt.
Chu Zheng's kick just now really surprised him.
He could tell at a glance that the central defender had a very broad field of vision, and he accurately captured the gap on their left.
At this moment, Klopp understood why the German media had been crazy about the 19-year-old Chinese defender in recent months.
