Green Journey

At 0:30 BJ time, all the live broadcast signals came in, and the impassioned Champions League theme song and the cheers of more than 8 fans came from the scene.

As the pre-match exchange ceremony proceeded, the starting lineups of the two sides soon appeared on the broadcast screen.

Dortmund: (3412)

Goalkeeper: Burki
Defenders: Piszczek, Papastathopoulos, Sven Bender
Midfielders: Ginter, Weigl, Rafael Guerrero, Schmelzer
Front midfielder: Shinji Kagawa

Forwards: Dembele, Aubameyang

"Dortmund lost 1-4 to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga national derby last weekend. This is their first defeat in the last five games in all competitions."

"But so far this season, Dortmund has remained unbeaten at home under the leadership of coach Tuchel."

"Tuchel also said at the press conference before the game that Dortmund will play offensive football in this game and strive for victory."

"Then Zhang Zhi, do you think Tuchel's words are credible?"

"Could he have said it to Guardiola on purpose, and then when the real game starts, Tuchel will catch Manchester City by surprise."

"Hey!" Zhang Lu laughed, "It's possible, but it's not likely. Dortmund is an offensive team, so he may play against Manchester City."

"Yeah!" Zhan Jun nodded, "If you don't strive for more goals to win the home game, Dortmund will be extremely passive in that round going to the Etihad."

Manchester City: (4141)

Forward: Aguero
Midfielders: Sane, Chu Zheng, De Bruyne, Sterling

Defender: Fernandinho

Defenders: Kolarov, Stones, Kompany, Walker

Goalkeeper: Ederson
"As for Manchester City, they will also play with all their main players today."

"Veteran Kolarov, veteran captain Kompany, Fernandinho and others all start."

"Manchester City's recent state can even be described as hot. They have created many bloody incidents in the Premier League in a row, all of which have won their opponents by a big score."

"Especially Chu Zheng, who scored 8 goals and 4 assists in three Premier League games. He scored 12 goals alone. His state is crazy."

"Now Chu Zheng has scored 91 goals in a single season, which is 9 goals away from a hundred goals..."

At the scene, the South Stand, which is the largest single-sided stand in a European stadium, can accommodate 25000 fans to watch the game.

And the yellow wave that belongs to Dortmund exclusively on the South Stand is also one of the most exciting scenes at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium.

Today, the wave of yellow people on the south stand was as turbulent as ever, and they gave out violent cheers from time to time, which attracted Dortmund fans on both sides of the stand to echo.

Dortmund fans are extremely dissatisfied with UEFA's decision to postpone the game by one day.

Almost all Dortmund fans believe that after yesterday's thrilling scene, the players cannot concentrate on the game.

They think this is too hasty, and it should be postponed for at least a week, so that the players on both sides can adjust their mentality.

But even if they and Manchester City stood up and called on UEFA to postpone the game, they failed to change UEFA's decision.

On the sidelines, Guardiola was already standing in the coaching area, closely watching his own players who were about to kick off.

He was a little worried.

Although he knew that there was no danger in the stadium after a more stringent carpet inspection today, when he thought of the shocking moment on the bus yesterday, he still shuddered inside. He always felt chilly all over and didn't have much sense of security .

Although the psychologist in the team had already talked to every player last night, Guardiola is very clear that it is difficult to dispel the impact of the bomb attack on the players in a short period of time.

So it's really hard to say how much the players can play today.

The only thing that comforts Guardiola is that Chu Zheng doesn't seem to be affected much.

Thinking of the high evaluation given by the psychiatrist after talking with Chu Zheng, Guardiola couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He knew that Chu Zheng had a big heart, but he didn't expect it to be this big.

When the bomb was attacked on the bus yesterday, everyone was shocked. Chu Zheng's reaction was even faster than him, and he quickly called on his teammates to lie down under their seats.

At 18:45 local time, with the whistle of the referee Osato, the thrilling dialogue before the game, which touched the hearts of fans all over the world, officially started.

After the start of the game, as Tuhull said before the game, Dortmund, who played a 3 formation with 361 central defenders, tried to quickly control the midfield and then launched an offensive forward.

As for Manchester City, they found that Dortmund was approaching menacingly. Chu Zheng quickly retreated to the left midfielder and partnered with Fernandinho. .

In addition, Chu Zheng also had the intention of kicking steadily.

From this morning, Chu Zheng found that after yesterday's shocking scene, his teammates were not focused on the game.

In training in the morning, even De Bruyne was distracted.

Little Fudeng, who lived in the same room as Chu Zheng, had even more nightmares last night. In his dream, he was blown up twice, which made Chu Zheng dumbfounded.

Therefore, Chu Zheng knew very well that he had to control the pace of today's game steadily, and it must not be fast, otherwise he would definitely make frequent mistakes.

The worries of Chu Zheng and Guardiola were soon fulfilled.

At 3 minutes and 49 seconds of the game, Manchester City's attack from the right was blocked by 8 Dortmund fans in the penalty area.

The ball is passed all the way back to the ribs in the middle circle along the right.

But for an unremarkable high ball, Walker stopped two meters away, allowing Aubameyang on the arc of the middle circle to quickly grab it.

Fortunately, Walker started fast enough, and hastily drew the ball to the ribs of the penalty area.

Sven Bender rushed to the top of the left rib area of ​​​​the top of the arc, and the ball fell in front of the arc in the middle circle of the center.

Fernandinho, who was delayed, quickly ran across the middle and got the ball before Shinji Kagawa.

As a result, at the moment when he was about to score the ball to the left side, the supporting foot suddenly slipped, fell directly on the ground, and kicked the ball to the feet of Shinji Kagawa in front of him.

At the same time, Aubameyang, who was in front of the arc in the middle of Manchester City's half, had already started to speed up, directly drilling the gap between Pani and Stones.

Shinji Kagawa brought the ball to the center line and immediately made a well-timed through pass.

But the speed of the ball is too slow, forcing Aubameyang to slow down to get the ball.

On the left side of Aubameyang, Kompany, who retreated, rushed back to the front of the right rib area at the top of his own arc and directly fell to the ground and stretched his feet to tackle the ball.

Kompany tackled the ball accurately to Ederson in front of the goal.

In front of the small penalty area line, Edson stopped the ball directly.

Seeing that Aubameyang did not come up to press him outside the penalty area, he quickly pushed the ball forward with his right foot, and then quickly followed up with a big foot to draw the ball to the frontcourt.

But this time Edson, who has a cruise missile footwork that can be accurate to the point, also fell short.

After the ball crossed the midfield, it fell straight to the right rib at the top of the arc, then bounced into the Dortmund penalty area, and was easily picked off by goalkeeper Burki.

Aguero, who started speeding along the middle road, wasted his energy and rushed for dozens of meters.

"Pay attention to the rhythm!!!"

"Chu!"

"..."

Guardiola stood in the coaching area and yelled towards the field, and at the same time he became more and more uneasy.

The mentality of the players was already affected, but now it is still raining lightly, making the field slippery. As a result, the players make more mistakes.

In the South Stand, the yellow and black wall built by Dortmund fans also cheered fiercely frequently, cheering for Dortmund players on the field.

Seeing the team's performance in the first few minutes of the game, they found that their players did not seem to be affected much.

Even Tuchel on the sidelines seemed a little surprised, and the situation was much better than expected.

However, Dortmund fans soon discovered that all this was an illusion.

With the passage of time, under the tight pressure of Manchester City's midfielder, Dortmund made many mistakes whether it was receiving the ball or stopping the ball, which made many people feel that Dortmund players have been stretched, not as easy as Manchester City.

Of course, Manchester City is not much better here, and there are also some mistakes, but compared with Dortmund, they are less.

After Guardiola noticed this, he quickly commanded from the sidelines to let Chu Zheng speed up the team's overall rhythm.

After Chu Zheng received the order on the field, Manchester City's overall offensive and defensive speed increased in a blink of an eye, which made the tense Dortmund players even more uncomfortable.

In the 14th minute of the game, Dortmund sent a throw-in from the left.

The ball was thrown forward by Schmelzer to Dembele on the left side of the center circle.

As a result, Dembele looked a little distracted.

Seeing the ball flying head-on, he quickly raised his right foot to unload the ball.

But as soon as he lifted his foot halfway, the ball hit his lower abdomen and bounced towards Chu Zheng.

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Chu Zheng, who was two meters away in front of Dembele, stretched out his right foot and hooked the ball directly behind him, then turned around gracefully.

When Chu Zheng turned around, he saw that Sane, who was in the ribs in front of him, had already started to move forward, and took advantage of the gap between Piszczek and Papa.

At the moment of passing the ball, Sane also increased his speed, and in a few blinks he came between Papa and Piszczek.

"Chu, Leroy!! Perfect pass-run tacit understanding!!!" Immediately, Martin and Smith in the commentary booth became excited.

On the sidelines, Guardiola's steady breathing became disordered for a moment, and he looked expectantly at Sane on the field.

Next to Tuchel is a look of nervousness.

On the field, in front of the right rib area at the top of the arc, Sane successfully put Papaca on the back right side by relying on his speed, and got Chu Zheng's pass first on the penalty area line.

At the same time, Piszczek on the left side of Sane also leaned over, ready to cooperate with Papa to defend against the goal.

However, in the next second, Sane fell directly after entering the penalty area.

"Beep!!!!!!!" All of a sudden, the referee Osato blew a sharp foul whistle, rushed over and took out a yellow card from his breast pocket to signal Papa, and then pointed to the penalty spot.

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!" This sudden penalty instantly detonated the Iduna Signal Park Stadium.

"Damn!!!!"

"Damn Italian, are you blind, it's a flop!!!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

In the stands, Dortmund fans booed and yelled one after another, which instantly raised the noise level on the scene.

Many children in the stands even subconsciously blocked their ears.

"This is a foul, I saw it, Papastathopoulos pulled people!"

"This penalty is not controversial, I firmly believe in it!!" In the commentary, Martin and Smith were extremely excited.

They don't care if Sane flopped or if the referee Osato made a misjudgment, anyway, they listened to the referee.

On the sidelines, Tuchel was also looking for the fourth official Costanzo to exert pressure in an attempt to get Osato to change the penalty.

Guardiola was not idle either, and ran over to apply pressure.

In a blink of an eye, without knowing what Guardiola said, Tuchel was suddenly irritated and pushed Guardiola, and the two almost fought each other on the spot.

Fortunately, the fourth official Costanzo reacted quickly and immediately separated the two, and then called the nearby staff to pull the two apart.

"hey-hey!!"

"Ha ha!!!"

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun saw this scene through the camera, and they were already having fun.

The laughter of these two people has always been a mystery to many Chinese fans.

On the field, players from both sides are also besieging Osato, and both sides insist on their own opinions.

Soon, Orsato and the two captains, Kompany and Schmelzer, retreated from the crowd after talking with them, and pointed to the penalty spot again.

At the same time, slow-motion replays of close-up shots also appeared in major broadcast rooms.

It can be clearly seen from the camera that Papa hugged Sane's chest with both hands at the moment Sane followed up with the ball.

Then Sane fell.

Although Sane seemed to fall too easily, the referee's penalty was not wrong, and Papa did have a pulling action in his hands.

"Chu, come on!" Aguero unexpectedly exited the penalty area after placing the ball in the penalty area, and gestured to Chu Zheng with a smile.

"Ah!" Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Aguero meant, and immediately laughed, hugging Aguero who came over to express his gratitude.

On the sidelines, Guardiola saw Aguero give up the penalty, and the faint smile on his face disappeared instantly.

It's not that he was dissatisfied with this, he was just worried that Chu Zheng would miss the penalty.

He knew that Aguero gave up the penalty to help Chu Zheng score goals, but the problem was that Chu Zheng's penalty kick skills were really not good.

Chu Zheng's penalty kick technique does not have any technical content in Guardiola's eyes.

But Chu Zheng's penalty kick also has an advantage, that is, it is strong enough, and that kind of power can even make people feel scared.

As long as Chu Zheng hits within the range of the door frame, the probability of the goalkeeper saving is extremely low.

When training penalty kicks in the team, sometimes Edson and the others rushed in the right direction and touched the ball, but they still couldn't save the ball in the end.

“One hundred!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“One hundred!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"..."

Just as Chu Zheng was standing in front of the penalty kick, more than 2000 Manchester City fans at the scene were also excitedly shouting the English phrase 'one hundred'.

Obviously they also understood Aguero's intention to concede this penalty.

In fact, in the hearts of Manchester City fans, Chu Zheng no longer needs to prove himself, he is already the god in the hearts of Manchester City fans.

On the field, Aubameyang, Schmelzer, Shinji Kagawa and other Dortmund players who had played against Chu Zheng heard the voices of Manchester City fans and looked at Chu Zheng in the penalty area with complicated eyes.

Who would have thought that a central defender could grow to this point back then.

The number of goals scored in a single season is about to exceed [-]. Even if Chu Zheng's data stops here, such a terrifying data is enough to establish Chu Zheng's status in football and become another super giant after Melo.

From an unknown young central defender to a world-renowned super midfielder, Chu Zheng took just two years.

For old opponents like Aubameyang, this is simply a fairy tale, which is incredible.

In the penalty area, seeing Chu Zheng reposition the ball and straighten his waist, the referee Osato quickly exited the penalty area, and then blew his whistle.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng swung his right foot on the spot very suddenly and directly hit the ball.

In front of the goal line, Dortmund goalkeeper Burki was dumbfounded!
Countless fans in the stands were dumbfounded!
Temiao has never seen this kind of penalty kick, and he didn't even have a run-up!

In front of the goal line, as soon as Burki's center of gravity tilted to the right, he felt as if a shell had blasted from his right side.

At this moment, Burki's heart was desperate.

Because he didn't even see the ball very clearly, it was too fast.

monster!This is a monster!

There is still such a terrifying power in place!

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The next second, Chu Zheng's unique penalty kick detonated the Iduna Signal Park Stadium.

The Manchester City fans who came with the team embraced happily in the stands!
On the sidelines, Guardiola was also dumbfounded, because it was the first time he saw Chu Zheng take a penalty kick in this way.

In front of Manchester City, Edson was also dumbfounded.

In terms of understanding of the strength of Chu Zheng's feet, he is the one who knows best.

But when he practiced penalty kicks with Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng always had a run-up.

But also because Chu Zheng had an approach run, his extremely powerful penalty kicks often couldn't be suppressed and flew away.

He once told Chu Zheng that it doesn't take much force to take a penalty kick, as long as the angle is tricky enough, otherwise it is easy to be overwhelmed and fly.

It is best to add a pause action during the run-up, so as to induce the goalkeeper to make a move first, and then hit, so that the confidence will be greater.

It turned out that Chu Zheng would use this method to make up for his shortcoming of excessive strength when taking penalty kicks.

Standing like this, the strength is indeed reduced, and the ball is easier to control, avoiding the risk of problems in the step or rhythm during the run-up process.

At this moment, Edson knew what a genius was.

Who would have imagined this brain circuit, and he would be dazed standing in front of Dortmund.

In the stands, Niu Benben and Hao Xiao were also dumbfounded.

"Bull Terrier, tell me how the Blind Man's body is trained, and he has such great strength standing up and kicking!" The shock on Niu Benben's face has not completely faded, he looked curiously at Hao Xiao beside him, "If it were you, would you be able to jump?"

After Hao Xiao heard this, he pondered for a while, then shook his head, and said, "It's very difficult, the blind man saves the run-up process, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of saving for our goalkeeper, because you can't follow him. The angle and movement of running and the inclination of the center of gravity are used to judge the direction of the ball."

After finishing the words, Hao Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "I would rather face ten players like Neymar who make free throws when they stop, and I don't want to meet a blind man who just slams on the spot. Judgment is too fast, there is no buffer at all, and it can only be a blind guess in one direction."
