Champion’s Heart

Chapter 247 Come to Life

In the end, Ibrahimovic limped off the field with the team doctor, and the Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stands gave this king-like figure a warm round of applause.

A minute later, Blanco replaced Lucas Jr., using him to replace Ibrahimovic who was injured.

Without Ibrahimovic, Cavani's position moved to the middle and became a center, while Lucas Jr. occupied Cavani's original position. He Ying was not affected, he was still on the left .

Not long after the game resumed, some people discovered that the situation was different from before.

Dortmund, who had been pinned to the ground by Paris Saint-Germain before, rubbed and rubbed again and again, suddenly exerted force and launched a fierce offensive towards Paris Saint-Germain's goal. Their speed seemed to have doubled.

In the 65th minute, Dortmund made continuous passes at the front of Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area, all with one kick, which was dazzling. Just when everyone thought Dortmund was going to launch an offensive from the left, Zhou Yi suddenly Turning around, he passed the football diagonally to the right.

On the right wing, Yan Min, who had switched to this side, received the ball.

He was very good at football, and he pushed the football forward immediately, and then relied on his excellent explosive power to start on the spot, throwing away the Paris Saint-Germain left back Maxwell who had not yet reacted, and went straight to the penalty area.

Yan Min's breakthrough was like sounding the alarm in Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area.

PSG's defenders swarmed towards him, shifting targets.

Yan Min did not continue to dribble the ball. After seeing that he had successfully attracted the opponent's attention, he chose to cross!

The football passed directly over the front and middle points and went straight to the back point!

There, Royce moved deftly and arrived at the landing point of the football. He volleyed the ball without stopping!

The football was pressed by him and moved forward against the turf.

Siligu followed the football and turned around, and saw Royce shooting directly. He could only fall to the ground to save in a hurry while moving, but he was still a step too late and failed to touch the football.

He could only watch in despair as the football rolled towards the back of the goal. No Paris Saint-Germain player in front of the goal could stop the ball.

The players on the Dortmund bench also stood up and looked at the goal, ready to cheer for the goal.

But the football was finally rejected by the back post!

The rebounded football just landed at the feet of Paris Saint-Germain player Alex, who was returning to defense. Without thinking, Alex turned around and kicked the football away. As for where it landed, he didn't care. Don't care. It was only then that he felt afraid...

"Goalpost! Oops! What a great opportunity for Dortmund! It was so cruelly rejected by the goalpost at the Parc des Princes!" Marcel Leif put his head in his hands.

"Royce shot directly! Ah! It didn't go in! It hit the goal post! This attack was very successful, except for the final result..." He Ping was also very sorry.

The Dortmund players on the bench all stood up. When they saw that the football did not go in, they seemed to have lost all their strength and collectively fell back to the bench.

Klopp and his colleagues were also upset.

But none of these people's regrets are as big as Royce's.

When Royce saw the football being blocked by the goal post, his knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground. Then he put his head in his hands and bent down on the ground.

What a great opportunity. Continuous and rapid passes made the opposing players basically lose the ability to think in defense and could only move instinctively with the football. Yan Min's aggressive breakthrough also attracted the defenders, leaving him with an extremely good shooting opportunity.

It was such a good opportunity, but he shot it on the goal post!

He felt that what he missed might be Dortmund's best scoring opportunity in the game.

Just when he was feeling annoyed about this, someone patted him on the back.

He stood up and looked back, it was Zhou Yi.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yi asked him.

When Royce was feeling depressed and upset, when he heard Zhou Yi ask this question, he suddenly wanted to roll his eyes - can't you see what I'm doing?

Royce, who was all emotionless, had no choice but to get up from the ground.

Zhou Yi said to him again: "Don't be discouraged, look at their expressions." He nuzzled at the Paris Saint-Germain players.

Royce looked over.

"Look at Siligu, his face turned pale with fear..."

Royce wanted to say that all white people had pale faces, but looking at Siligu's expression, he was indeed frightened.

"Looking at Alex again, his scalp is blue with fear."

Royce finally couldn't hold it back anymore: "Maybe it's because of Alex's bald head..."

Zhou Yi said seriously: "Look at his expression. His expression can't tell lies, but he was very frightened."

Royce looked at Alex's expression again, and it was indeed like this. A panicked expression appeared on Alex's face.

"If you look at the other Paris Saint-Germain players, they almost all have the same expression. They feel like they are on the verge of death." Zhou Yi said. "So don't be sorry. At least you have shaken them, which is beneficial to us. If you do it a few more times, they will start to doubt life."

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Royce finally couldn't help laughing.

When Zhou Yi saw him smiling, he laughed too.

"Come on, let's continue!"

"Dortmund is back to normal! Look at the speed of passing and receiving, it's really dizzying!" Marcel Leif said excitedly after the game restarted.

"Dortmund actually had a counter-attack attitude. They have now suppressed Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain wanted to counterattack, but they couldn't do it. Although Dortmund's defense was very empty behind them - they cut off the Paris Saint-Germain midfield and front line. Due to the contact on the field, Verratti was closely guarded by Sven Bender. He Ying was in front, but couldn't get the ball and had to come back to participate in the defense..." He Ping analyzed, and finally he said this , "The defending champion seems to come to life."

Dortmund indeed seemed to be alive. A series of fierce offensive attacks made Paris Saint-Germain unable to hold its head up.

Dortmund's high-pressure offensive continued until the 75th minute.

There are still fifteen minutes left before the end of the game, and the physical fitness of the players on both sides has reached a critical point.

If Dortmund cannot pry open PSG's goal, they may have to give up this style of play because the players' physical fitness cannot keep up.

At this moment, Yan Min dribbled the ball from the wing, suddenly stopped and changed direction, passed a Paris Saint-Germain player, and walked towards the center.

Then facing Matuidi's defense, he once again used an emergency stop to change direction and broke through straight to the bottom line.

He accelerated the breakthrough and attracted the attention of Paris Saint-Germain's defense. Matuidi was chasing after him, and Alex blocked him from the front. It looked like Yan Min had to bury his head and walk all the way to the dark side again. .

But at this moment, Yan Min suddenly stopped for the third time and at the same time used the heel of his left foot to knock the football from behind to the center. After he stopped the car, he immediately turned around and cut inside again!

"Oh! Beautiful continuous emergency stops and line changes! Yan Min made the Paris Saint-Germain players spin around!"

Yan Min, who completed the emergency stop and turned around, did not continue to dribble the ball. He was now pressed to the line of the penalty area. Paris Saint-Germain had too many players and there was no room for him to break through with the ball.

He chose to pass the ball and passed the football horizontally to Zhou Yi in the middle.

Zhou Yi sprinted into the penalty area, faced the football, and made a move to stop the ball. He raised his right foot.

But when the football rolled over, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball. Instead, he let the football roll over. Then he pushed his left foot to support his body and turned around to chase the ball. This was a false shot to stop the ball. , it seems to be stopping the ball, but actually it is to get rid of it!

Who to get rid of?

Get rid of centre-back Thiago Silva who has rushed to steal his ball!

Thiago Silva didn't expect that Zhou Yi would feint a shot. He lost his target and couldn't stop. He bumped into Zhou Yi who had not had time to turn around, knocking Zhou Yi to the ground without any suspense!

Zhou Yi had an accident and fell backwards on the penalty area line.

The referee's whistle also sounded, and he pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation!

"Penalty kick! Eh!? It's a penalty kick!" Marcel Leif was stunned for a moment, then roared excitedly. "Thiago Silva knocked down Zhou Yi in the penalty area and was sentenced to death!"

"Dortmund got a penalty kick! They had a chance to score!" He Ping was also very excited.

Only the French commentator habitually questioned whether Zhou Yi was diving: "Did Zhou Yi deliberately wait for Thiago Silva to hit him?"

But everyone could see clearly that Thiago Silva couldn't stop the car and knocked down Zhou Yi. Regardless of whether Thiago Silva did it intentionally or not, it is always an objective fact that he knocked down Zhou Yi. In the face of such objective facts, there is no problem in making a penalty kick.

Zhou Yi, who fell on his back, raised his fists. Then he was pulled up by his teammates who swarmed up, and then pulled him into their arms, patting his back hard and rubbing his hair.

The TV broadcast also took the opportunity to play the slow-motion scene of what just happened.

Through replays from different angles, we can clearly see what happened. It was indeed a penalty kick. This is much clearer and more logical than the one between He Ying and Hummels in the first half.

"Zhou Yi's concession is really exquisite. It was this concession that deceived Thiago Silva..."

Thiago Silva did not make any excuses for this, he knew it very well. Moreover, the referee has already made a penalty, so there is no point in dwelling on this issue.

※※※

The penalty was eventually given to Royce.

He just missed a great opportunity. He felt at the time that he might have missed Dortmund's best scoring opportunity in the game.

But now, a better scoring opportunity than before was handed to him.

Holding the football in his arms, he took a deep breath, then bent down to swing the ball.

After placing the football, he took a few steps back, stood still, and turned to look at the referee.

Wait for the referee's whistle.

The other players on both sides withdrew from the penalty area, leaving only Royce and goalkeeper Siligu in the penalty area.

The Parc des Princes stadium was booed loudly. Paris Saint-Germain fans were certainly dissatisfied with this penalty - if this goal was going to be a penalty kick, then why was there no penalty kick in the first half when He Ying fell in the Dortmund penalty area?

Amid boos, the referee blew his whistle.

The boos got even louder.

Royce ran in the face of boos and then kicked the football to the lower left corner of the goal.

Siligu rushed to the lower right corner, and he just missed the football!

The football flew into the goal!

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!! Good goal! Royce took the penalty kick firmly in the penalty area! Dortmund got a point back and got a valuable away goal!"
