The total score became 1:1, and Dortmund and Atletico Madrid returned to a relatively balanced promotion situation.

But Dortmund still takes the initiative in the scene.

After the Atletico Madrid kicked off, he actively launched a wave of offensives. Villa collided with Diego Costa in front of the penalty area and cooperated with him and then entered the left rib of the penalty area. The shot that went into the left rib of the penalty area deviated from the far post and flew out of the baseline.

Atletico Madrid then returned to the defensive counterattack posture.

This style of play is the main reason why Tang Hong finally ruled out Atletico Madrid's two transfer choices.

When he played for a small team, he could understand that defensive counterattack was the only option for a small team to create great glory.

But for Atletico Madrid's height, over-conservative tactical play is not what he yearns for.

Just look at how many opportunities the Atletico Madrid striker has in the game, you can imagine that even if he joins this team, he may just sprint repeatedly on the court most of the time.

Tang Hong in Simeone's eyes has changed a lot from two years ago.

Tang Hong, who played for Braga two years ago, had skills and speed. His personal abilities were free to be exerted in a counterattack environment, showing great destructive power. But he was alone after all, and there was no question of how mature and efficient he cooperated with the team.

However, two years later, Tang Hong was very mature in the Dortmund formation.

For the stars of hope that a small team comes out, it is easy to die or grow significantly slower when entering a big team. The reason is that the players of the small team fight more and can play a more speed advantage in a broader offensive space. At the same time, the requirements in vision are not high, because the space is large, the success rate of players' passing and cutting coordination among intersecting running positions will be higher.

However, at least in the league, the big teams play positional battles more often, and the speed advantage cannot be achieved by sprinting at will, and the grasp of timing is higher. At the same time, as the offensive space becomes narrow, the requirements for the rationality of game reading ability and personal skills become higher.

There are many hope that if you can play in the past game after joining the big team, you will easily feel disappointed.

But in Simeone's eyes, Tang Hong quickly went through three processes of star transformation in two years.

The first step is of course to integrate into and adapt to the team, the second step is to use your own abilities to improve the team, and the third step is to counter-use mature teams to stimulate a stronger self!

Most players complete the first step as good players. If they can reach the second step, they are already stars. Even if they play for small teams, most players stop at the second step and fail to enter the third step. The players who can reach the third step will be top stars. If they play for a competitive team, superstars will be born!

Whether at Manchester United or Dortmund, Tang Hong has never resisted the tactical environment of integrating into the team in the past and interactions with the team. He took the first two steps at an amazing speed and won the trust of the entire team and made unparalleled contributions. Then the entire team will create opportunities for him and make continuous breakthroughs around him!

If you think back to the other two superstars Messi and C Ronaldo, you will find that Tang Hong has very obvious advantages in terms of mature mentality.

Ronaldo struggled in the first two years at Manchester United. It can even be said that he had not really integrated into Manchester United before 2006. Messi's early surprise came from himself, but he had little to do with the team until Guardiola took office.

But every time Tang Hong goes to a new club, even though he joins the highlight, he is actually very humble in his mentality and actively cooperates with the new environment. His adaptability is strong because of his tolerance and irresistance in his mentality.

Simeone knew the game was a bit difficult.

Regarding the competition between top teams, the performance in the league is actually not convincing.

Just like Bayern Munich won nearly a season, but lost to Dortmund in a key showdown, and also lost to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League.

Are Bayern Munich's previous victory all fake?

No? They are all true.

But after all, that's not a top-level contest!

In the Premier League? La Liga, Serie A? The same goes for Ligue 1? The difference is just a little bit.

Invincible in the league, the Champions League may not have the advantage in the key showdown.

So Simeone has learned about Tang Hong's performance in the Bundesliga? But when he really came to the strong dialogue in the Champions League, he was still surprised by Tang Hong's performance? Unexpectedly.

If he could realize before the game that the key point of victory or defeat was to judge whether Atletico Madrid's skills were blocked and frozen Tang Hong? Then perhaps Atletico Madrid would perform better in the game and the situation would not be so bad.

But the failure of Dortmund to play in the first round has caught Atletico Madrid off guard. Before the second round, Tang Hong suddenly announced that Tang Hong would return to the team to play. Atletico Madrid's preparations are based on Tang Hong's failure to play? The temporary changes are nothing more than small details? But the general direction has not been changed.

Of course, it is impossible for the defensive deployment of Aubameyang to limit Aubameyang and blocking Tang Hong to be the same.

Is it still time to repair the dead now?

Before the end of the first half, Dortmund's three consecutive shots failed to create an obvious threat, but Juan Fran's pull foul on a way to pursue Tang Hong was still warned by the referee.

The local defensive panic caused by Tang Hong's personal threat has forced Atletico Madrid to take a more brutal approach to freeze him.

Even if Tang Hong did not touch the ball, he would commit a foul in advance as long as he was on the way to the reception!

You can't wait until he has already taken possession before considering whether to foul? Then it may be too late!

At the end of the first half, the two teams walked towards the player channel? Return to the locker room and had a short rest before starting the second half.

During his midfield speech, Klopp emphasized that the team should adapt to the situation in the second half and not rigidly follow the pre-match tactical deployment.

The 45 minutes of the second half will be a real life-and-death battle!

Return to the court and change sides and fight again.

Dortmund immediately launched a fast break after the kickoff? Mkhitaryan passed the ball from the middle of the frontcourt on the left side.

Tang Hong took the initiative to receive the ball before he touched the ball, and saw three players around him surrounded him. He directly sent a diagonal pass on the ground? The football rolled to the right side of the frontcourt.

After getting the ball, he was hit by Thiago? I wonder if the opponent was intentional or unintentional? Tang Hong didn't care.

He has experienced many battles in the past two years and has experienced many big scenes. Although Atletico Madrid likes to play tricks, his intensity is still a bit worse than the fierce confrontation in the Premier League.

As long as you ignore it and keep your mentality stable, then the small tricks of Atletico Madrid will be like scratching your feet without any effect to him.

Reus quickly dribbled the ball from the right in the frontcourt and cut inside. When he encountered a joint attack between Gaby and Cork, Reus hit the ball across the middle in front of the penalty area.

Mkhitaryan followed up and shot in a sloppy manner, and the football flew towards the upper right position in the middle of the goal.

Courtois saves beautifully and directly takes the ball out of the air.

Courtois was not in a hurry to drive the ball after completing the save, because it was not easy for Atletico Madrid to break through Dortmund's counter-attack blockade.

Simply passing the ball to Villa or Diego Costa will only put the two in isolation.

He needs to control the rhythm and then give time to the teammates in the midfield and backcourt to disperse the formation, which can also cool down Dortmund's rhythm.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid made a fast break from the left. Felipe Luis passed the ball diagonally in the middle after halftime, and retreated after the ball was released, and did not go deep into the frontcourt.

Villa was harassed by Pisczek in the frontcourt near the middle area. He knocked the ball back to Gabi, then turned around and led Dortmund's defense to retreat, and Gabi sent the ball to the middle area in front of the penalty area.

Diego Costa was pressed by Sven Bend as soon as he stopped the ball. Unlike before he turned around or passed the ball to find Villa, Costa drifted back this time, which led Sven Bend to follow the defense. At the same time, Schmelzer also came to him. Seeing that his pulling effect had reached, Diego Costa passed the ball back to Raul Garcia, who had a quick assist.

Raul Garcia dribbled to the edge of the penalty area and made a cross.

The football flew to the left rib of the penalty area and found Villa who was running forward.

Hummels returned to the front area to block Villa's cross and cross-section line, and Villa shot directly!

It is not realistic to expect Atletico Madrid to play so exquisitely and have penetrating attacks, but being able to form shots in the penalty area is a huge improvement compared to before.

The football shot by Villa was saved by goalkeeper Weidenfell from the bottom line in the near corner of the goal, which also created a certain threat.

Atletico Madrid corner kick offensive opportunity.

Dortmund's entire army retreated!

Teams like Atletico Madrid are commonplace to score on set pieces.

Godin, Miranda, Costa, Gabi, Villa and other players are all the targets they are focusing on blockades.

When the offensive and defensive personnel in front of the goal were standing, the referee stopped the game and warned Costa and Subotic not to push and shovate.

Costa kept chattering, Subotic finally broke out after a long time.

Tang Hong stood by and watched coldly. Although he was disgusted with Costa's appearance that he would not be able to play football without doing anything, he did not want to make any statement. That would only make the other party succeed.

When Atletico Madrid's corner kick was taken, Godin jumped high in the crowd and headed the ball!

The football was pushed towards Dortmund's goal. Fortunately, the angle was very straight, and Weidenfeller blocked the ball from the front with both palms!

Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lewandowski stepped forward and beat Cork to push the ball to the left in the middle of the backcourt.

Tang Hong rushed forward quickly and volleyed forward to face the falling football and padded the ball forward, snatching Thiago to complete the ball control!

Just as he changed his next ball and was about to pass half, Felipe Louis's interception failed, but he quickly turned around and hugged Tang Hong and threw him to the ground. When he fell down, he immediately let go and raised his hand to signal innocent when he stood up.

But the referee blew the whistle and ran to give Felipe Louis a yellow card.

Tang Hong still had no complaints or emotions.
Chapter completed!
