389: Tragic Honor Grand Slam center back

September 30, 2015, Selhurst Park, South London, England, the weather was cloudy and the temperature was 13C.

The temperature is a little on the low side, with a cold wind.

In fact, it's a bit uncomfortable for playing football, it's a bit cold.

Of course, running is much better.

Some people in the stands were even wearing down jackets. It seemed like they were really afraid of the cold! ??

Sitting on the coach's bench, Tong Yi was wearing a black suit. He was like a thug in a suit. Countless female fans in the stands and in front of the TV were screaming.

At this time, many beauties must be dreaming of a duel with Martina.

The winner takes ownership of Tong Yi.

Of course, there are also many beautiful women who secretly wonder why they are not rich women? Otherwise, what does Martina have to do with this?

On the other side, Heijin was standing on the sidelines wrapped in a thick fleece jacket, staring intently at the court.

At this time, the second round of the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League Group B match between Crystal Palace and Wolfsburg at home has begun.

At present, the situation on the court is very unfavorable for Wolfsburg.

No, Heijin stood up and came to the sidelines a little anxious.

Crystal Palace's pressure today was very strong, making it difficult for Wolfsburg people to support themselves. The defense was so pressed that it was almost out of shape. No wonder Heijin was shouting and shouting on the sidelines, "Danger", Wolfsburg is in danger now.

Here is the starting lineup of both sides today:

Home team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213

Alisson

The back four from left to right is Alonso, Rudiger, Van Dijk and Carvajal.

Double defensive midfielder Witsel and Kante

Single attacking midfielder De Bruyne

The front three from left to right Salah, Ignacio and Mane

Visiting team Wolfsburg, head coach Heijing, formation 4411

Goalkeeper Benaglio

The back four from left to right: Rodriguez, Dante, Naldo and Trasch

The four midfielders from left to right are Caligiuri, Maximilian Arnold, Gilavoji and Schürrle

Single attacking midfielder Max Kruse

lone striker Dost

To be honest, Wolfsburg's lineup looks good. No wonder they were able to win the Bundesliga runner-up and the German Cup last season. This guy Heijing is still very capable.

This is a team with its own characteristics.

The frontcourt is a combination of one high and one fast.

The two wingers are also very fast, and even the players on the two wingers have a certain ability to organize offense, especially Caligiuri's side.

Of course, on the left wing of Wolfsburg last season was Draxler, who was on loan from Bayern Munich.

The ability to organize offense from the wing is even stronger. He was Wolfsburg's absolute hero last season. Originally, Draxler would still be loaned to Wolfsburg this season.

Unexpectedly, Wolfsburg defeated Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup, and Draxler played a great role in passing and shooting. Then, Bayern Munich regretted it and directly paid the liquidated damages to recall Draxler to Bayern Munich.

This has a huge impact on Wolfsburg.

Yes, Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich originally signed a two-year loan contract. Now Bayern Munich recalls Draxler in advance. Doesn't this constitute a breach of contract? Of course you have to pay liquidated damages.

However, Bayern Munich thinks it's worth it.

On the one hand, it enhances its own strength, and on the other hand, it weakens the strength of its competitors.

Aside from spending a little money, this works perfectly.

Moreover, Bayern Munich failed to introduce Goretzka this season, so they naturally wanted Draxler to replace him.

Nothing wrong!

But this has a great impact on Wolfsburg.

Fortunately, Black Gold brought back German international Schürrer from Chelsea this summer. Otherwise, Wolfsburg's season would be a bit over.

This lineup is good, but now it is in crisis.

The Crystal Palace players pressed very high, and the Wolfsburg players couldn't resist.

At this moment, Carvajal, who was advancing from the wing, cut off the football from Rodriguez's feet. Then he made a direct pass, and the football drew a wonderful arc in the air, flying directly to Ignacio who entered the center.

Danger!

Heijin's brows kept twitching when he saw this!

Although this Ignacio is young, he is very powerful. This season is suspected of being explosive, and even Lukaku doesn't dare to provoke and ridicule Ignacio anymore.

So far this season, Ignacio has played 6 league games, 1 European Super Cup, and 7 games in total. He has scored 6 goals and provided 6 assists. His efficiency is very amazing and explosive.

At this time, the whole of England is hyping Ignacio. Many media and fans even think that Ignacio has completely defeated Tottenham Hotspur's Kane. Starting from this season, Ignacio Nasio is the first choice for the center position of the England national team.

Black Gold has naturally studied the Crystal Palace and even Ignacio.

It's dangerous now!

In the penalty area, Brazilian center back Dante immediately used his body to carry Ignacio and frantically interfered with Ignacio. Then Nardo in front of them raised his head high and competed with Ignacio for the top position.

"Wow! Ignacio, it's overwhelming!" Mortensen roared excitedly.

He saw Ignacio actually rise high under the defense of Naldo and Dante, and hit the football hard in the gap. The football shot towards Wolfsburg rapidly. goal.

The ball speed is very fast, like lightning!

In front of the goal, Benaglio jumped into the air, stretched out his hand upwards like lightning, and almost touched the football with a bang. The football immediately jumped up and flew over the crossbar!

The Wolfsburg players and fans were really frightened!

You have to know that their center back combination is considered a very high level combination in the Bundesliga!

Dante is 188cm tall. Before the injury, his physical fitness was still very good. He could run and jump. After the injury and as he got older, his physical fitness dropped drastically, especially in terms of speed. In the past two years, he has even become the target of ridicule by fans, nicknamed "Dan·Tragedy·Big Colander·Special".

Because in the past year or so, he has continuously represented different teams and experienced major tragedies such as 1-7, 1-4, and 1-5, so he is called a "tragic central defender". .

In the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Dante's Brazilian team was defeated 1-7 by the German national team. Dante became a colander and was completely defeated.

Last season, when Dante was still at Bayern Munich, they challenged Wolfsburg away. Wolfsburg's Dost exploded and directly defeated Dante. It came to a 4-1 victory for Bayern. Munich lost this crucial game and almost handed over the league championship to Wolfsburg!

After moving to Wolfsburg this season, Dante became the main center back of the old team, partnering with Nardo. Little did we know that just a few days ago, Dante once again became a gorgeous backdrop. In the game on September 23, Wolfsburg challenged Bayern Munich away. The first half was fine. After Lewandowski came off the bench in the second half, everything changed. From the 51st minute to the 60th minute of this game, Lewandowski performed an unprecedented drama! He scored nearly 5 goals in 9 minutes, directly beating Dante into the background.

In just these three games, Dante was given 16 goals.

Many people say that Dante is no longer as brave as he once was!

Some people even say that Dante is actually not very good at first, but he has performed explosively in the past two or three seasons at Bayern Munich and won the club's career Grand Slam honor. He has won a total of 4 Bundesliga championships and 2 German championships. Cup champion, 1 German Super Cup champion, 1 Champions League champion, 1 European Super Cup champion and 1 Club World Cup champion.

The rest of his career has been a colander, a tragic central defender!

In fact, this is not the case. When Dante was young, his physical fitness was still very good. He could run and jump. He once had two sports in Belgium.

Win the league championship. And he also performed very well in Monchengladbach, otherwise he would not be valued and taken away by Bayern Munich, and he would even directly become the team's main central defender.

It’s just that his physical fitness declined due to multiple injuries and age.

And in Tong Yi's memory, he later played until he was 38 or 9 years old in 2020 and did not retire. Even when he was 38 years old, he was still the captain and core of the defense of the French Ligue 1 team Nice. Play more than 30 games.

This shows how powerful this person is!

Therefore, Tong Yi does not dare to underestimate this central defender.

And beside him, there is the assistance of Nardo, a tall center back with a height of 198cm. These two center backs are really difficult to deal with. And this is specifically aimed at Ignacio, so Tong Yi needs to pay more attention here. Before the game, he often reminded Ignacio to pay attention to these two guys.

These two guys are both central defenders in their 30s and have very rich experience.

Tong Yi reminded the young Ignacio to pay attention to these two old guys.

Look at the defense this time, didn’t Ignacio suffer a loss?

Although he hit the football and made a good shot, Ignacio was obviously interfered by the two men. Otherwise, he would not have been so upright and allowed Benaglio to easily complete the save.

These two central defenders are still very capable in air defense.

Ignacio met his opponent in today's game.

After landing, Ignacio immediately turned his head and glanced at Dante and Nardo. Especially Dante, this guy just put a lot of pressure on him from behind. If it weren't for Dante, he would easily complete the head-shaking action and then throw the football directly to the back post.

However, he had no time to shake his head just now and couldn't shake it.

This Dante was too sticky, and Dante also pushed him from behind, making his body a little unbalanced.

Ignacio stared at the two central defenders. This was the biggest challenge he had faced in the past few games. At least that's what he thinks. The two central defenders are not as easy to deal with as the media reporters expected before the game.

These two guys have two brushes.

Ignacio took a deep breath, then turned around to find a suitable position to prepare for this corner kick attack.

Dante also immediately turned around and quickly stuck to Ignacio.

Ignacio frowned slightly, a little bored, and thought to himself, "How did this guy score 5 goals in 9 minutes compared to Lewandowski?"

Naldo also immediately turned around and followed.

Ignacio felt even more unhappy, "Damn it, these two old guys are sticking up again!"
