Chapter 248 The Madness at the Last Moment
Dortmund regained a point through a penalty kick in the 76th minute. The score is now 2:1, and Paris Saint-Germain, playing at home, is still in the lead.
But the situation is completely different from before.
Although Paris Saint-Germain is the leading side, this score does not satisfy them. Not only are they only leading by one goal, they also gave the opponent an away goal.
This score is completely acceptable to Dortmund. After returning home, they only need a 1:0 to eliminate their opponents.
Paris Saint-Germain is completely unacceptable. Let’s not talk about the psychological gap between 2:0 and 2:1. Let’s just say that the score itself is very dangerous.
When the opponent has already scored an away goal, try to eliminate the impact of this goal. They must score another goal to widen the point difference again.
At this time, there is not much time left for them.
Just one goal changed the mentality of the two teams drastically. Paris Saint-Germain, who originally had no worries and could play as they pleased, suddenly became nervous, while Dortmund, who was originally in a state of embarrassment, was much more relaxed than before because of a goal, even if they were still behind.
Faced with this situation, the head coaches of both sides quickly made adjustments.
Klopp naturally asked the team to recycle their defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack Paris Saint-Germain. He knew very well that Paris Saint-Germain would never accept this result. They would definitely make full use of their home court advantage to launch a fierce offensive against Dortmund's goal in the last ten minutes of the game.
At this time, Dortmund only needs to shrink their defense and wait for their counterattack. Of course it would be best if they could steal a ball to equalize the score. But if that doesn't work, just keep harassing the opponent's defense so that they don't dare to attack with all their strength.
In the coaching booth next door, Blanco did make such an adjustment. He kept waving his hands on the sidelines to ask the players to press forward to strengthen the offense. He was not willing to get a result of only leading by one goal despite having all the advantages.
In the next game, Paris Saint-Germain attacked from all fronts. Faced with such a fierce offensive from Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund had to temporarily avoid the limelight and defend across the board, without thinking about counterattacks.
In the 78th minute, Lucas started on the right and passed two Dortmund players before passing the ball diagonally to the goal. Unfortunately, Cavani, who was connecting in the middle, was a little slow when he got the ball. , causing the football to be cleared cleanly by Hummels.
In the 80th minute, this time it was He Ying who broke through and cut in from the left. After attracting two Dortmund defenders, he passed the football to Cavani in the center with the outside of his right foot. After Cavani received the ball, he swayed away from the angle and then curled the ball with his right foot. The football went straight to the back of the goal.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller made a save but failed to touch the ball. Although Cavani's shot successfully bypassed Weidenfeller's fingers, it was unable to turn back because the arc was too large. It also bypassed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.
"Cavani! What a danger!" Marcel Leif exclaimed. "Paris Saint-Germain's offensive is too fierce. I don't know if Dortmund can withstand it..."
Blanco, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain on the sidelines, was naturally very concerned. When he saw Cavani shooting, he jumped up excitedly.
But in the end the football flew out of the baseline, so he turned around and kicked the ball to vent his emotions.
※※※
PSG desperately wanted to score a goal before the end of the game, while Dortmund desperately tried to block the opponent's attack while hoping that the game time would go by faster.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.
The game has become more physical, and there have been more and more downings - of course, most of them involving Dortmund players. Every time they went down, boos erupted from the stands. How could Paris Saint-Germain fans not know what the Dortmund players want to do?
Of course it’s procrastinating!
In the 84th minute, Aubameyang successfully intercepted the ball from Verratti's feet in the midfield, but in turn he was knocked down by Verratti.
Aubameyang, who fell to the ground, appeared to be in pain, clutching his ankle and unwilling to get up.
Verratti thought he was deliberately delaying the game and wanted to force Aubameyang up.
The two sides clashed as a result.
Players from both sides immediately gathered around and booed loudly in the stands, even covering up the referee's rapid whistle.
However, it was the Paris Saint-Germain players themselves who came to break up the fight at this time - they also knew that Dortmund wanted to take the opportunity to make the matter bigger and delay it for a little longer. Although it was said that injury time would be considered to make up for this time, it was not possible. Possibly unlimited supplements...
In order to prevent Dortmund's conspiracy from succeeding, Paris Saint-Germain's players took the initiative to maintain order and dragged away the emotional Verratti.
Because of their outstanding performance, Dortmund's plan to take this opportunity to delay the game failed.
The referee called Verratti and Aubameyang aside alone, and then each received a yellow card and each received 50 rebounds.
Immediately afterwards, Blanco replaced Verratti with Cabaye, who was a little out of control and had little physical strength left.
In the 86th minute, after a series of cooperation on the right side of Paris Saint-Germain, the right back Jalai passed the football into the penalty area and gave it to Lucas Jr. on the wing of the penalty area. Little Lucas made a pass, but Sven Bender used his body to block the football from the sideline.
Paris Saint-Germain then continued to besiege Dortmund's goal, and in the 89th minute, Cavani completed a threatening header. If Weidenfeller hadn't played bravely, in the process of retreating, If you jump up and drag the football over the crossbar with one palm, the goal will be scored...
Paris Saint-Germain got a chance for a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, Motta suddenly stepped forward, jumped high at the point, and swung his header back.
It's just that after he set out, no one behind him touched the football, and the ball also missed the far goal post and flew out of the baseline...
At this time, the fourth official raised a sign indicating five minutes of injury time on the sidelines.
The time wasted by the previous conflict was still added by the referee team.
These five minutes are the last five minutes of Paris Saint-Germain, and if Dortmund can withstand Paris Saint-Germain's indiscriminate bombardment, they can return to their home court with a relatively good result, and then use it in the middle of next week. A more calm tactics and mentality to face Paris Saint-Germain.
※※※
In the last period of time, Dortmund did not try to counterattack, but their counterattacks were unable to threaten Paris Saint-Germain's goal because they had too few troops to invest, and their physical fitness declined quickly after playing a game. .
Paris Saint-Germain almost played around Dortmund's 30-meter zone.
However, Dortmund's defense was still solid, and Paris Saint-Germain's fierce offensive was unable to open the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.
This is the only thing that can comfort Dortmund fans.
Now they just need to hold on for a few more minutes...
In the 93rd minute of stoppage time, Paris Saint-Germain, which was besieging Dortmund, received a foul ball just outside the edge of the penalty area.
Right back Jalai came up and threw the foul ball.
He Ying, who was originally in the penalty area, looked around and found that the penalty area was full of people. He had no chance inside, so he might as well move outside.
So he ran straight to Ya Lai.
Ya Lai was holding the football and observing, mentally planning how to throw the foul ball. There is not much time left in the game. Every offensive opportunity is precious. We must make good use of it and cannot simply perfunctory it.
Just looking at it, Dortmund's defense is very tight and there are no good opportunities. If he throws the football directly into the penalty area, there will be people inside, and he may not be able to guarantee that his side will be able to score. The most important thing is that if the possession of the ball is transferred to Dortmund, with their "shameless" level, who knows how to delay time...
Just when Ya Lai was a little undecided, he saw He Ying running out and at the same time made a gesture to him throwing it to him.
Do you want to say that He Ying has a good opportunity? No, he ran out, but he also pulled out a Dortmund player.
So at this time, it stands to reason that the football should be thrown into the penalty area instead. After all, the defensive force there is slightly weaker due to He Ying's involvement.
But Ya Lai thought again that He Ying was in good shape throughout the game today.
If you give him the ball, maybe he can actually create some opportunities...
Thinking of this, Ya Lai took a few steps back. This was a posture of sprinting and then throwing the football into the penalty area. Everyone naturally thought that this was what he was going to do.
But after running to the sideline, he feinted and threw the football directly to He Ying, who pulled out to meet him.
He Ying stretched out his foot and stopped the football firmly at his feet.
This stop was very good, but he was also stuck by Dortmund player Sven Bender who came out, and it was not easy to turn around.
In this case, he should pass the football back to Jalai who is on the sideline to meet him.
But He Ying did not do this. He continued to control the football and wrestled with Sven Bender.
At this time, Yan Min, who was next to him, immediately rushed up and tried to steal the ball.
Just when he was about to touch the football, He Ying stretched out his foot and hooked the football back with his right foot. At the same time, he turned around and took Sven Bender towards the baseline!
Compared with He Ying, Sven Bender's turning speed is much slower.
At this time, Yan Min passed behind Sven Bender, chased towards the bottom line, and then shoveled towards the football!
He was already very close to the bottom line. He was confident that his kick would either scoop the football out of the bottom line, or at worst give Paris Saint-Germain a corner kick. Or force He Ying to take football beyond the bottom line...
But what he didn't expect was that He Ying got ahead of him and gently poked the football into the penalty area. The football rolled past the bottom line, but he didn't touch anything!
He Ying jumped up immediately, passed over Yan Min who was lying on the ground, and got the ball again!
