Chapter 252 2 Kicks in a Row
"Oh! Wolfsburg, who were playing away from home, took the lead! They scored first! Olic! He once played for Bayern Munich. In the 2009-2010 season, when Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final, he established He has made great contributions...Now, he has transferred to Wolfsburg, and he is still helping his old club in his own way..."
Marcel Leif was talking about the crowning moment of Olic’s career so far.
In the 2009-2010 season, Bayern Munich also encountered Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-finals just like this year. In the first round, Bayern Munich faced Manchester United at home. The score was always 1:1, which was very close. It wasn't until the last moment that Olić scored a goal to kill Manchester United, helping Bayern Munich defeat Manchester United 2:1.
In the second round against Manchester United, Olic scored from a small angle in the 43rd minute, catching Manchester United off guard. In the end, Bayern Munich eliminated its opponents and entered the semi-finals with a total score of 4:4, one more away goal advantage than Manchester United.
In the first leg of the semi-finals, Bayern Munich defeated Lyon 1:0 at home. This is not a reassuring score. Especially since the second round is an away game, Lyon is fully confident to equalize the score and then score more goals.
But Olic showed his prowess in this game. He scored a goal in the first half and two more goals in the second half, completing a hat trick. At the same time, he helped Bayern Munich defeat Lyon 3:0 away from home and win 4:0 on aggregate. The score advanced to the final and met Inter Milan at the Bernabeu.
Today's Olic is of course no longer as brave as he used to be, but his goal today may help Bayern Munich break Dortmund's monopoly on the Bundesliga title for three consecutive seasons...
After Olic scored, many people recalled his former identity as a Bayern Munich player. On foreign social networks, many Bayern Munich fans posted photos of Olic wearing a Bayern Munich jersey, paying tribute to Olic. Cheer up Qi.
Someone even made a joke during this event and posted Olic's jersey when he faced Lyon away from home. According to Olic's hat trick, it was the most glorious moment of his career. Bayern Munich fans hope that Olic can shine again, for his own sake and for Bayern Munich's.
Olic indeed seemed to feel the blessings and cheers given to him by Bayern Munich fans.
In the 40th minute, he once again threatened Dortmund's goal.
At that time, De Bruyne took the ball from the right, passed Hummels' defense and then passed down the bottom. The alert Olic appeared in front of the goal again, and he fired a shot!
The football flew upwards and went straight to the top corner of the goal!
But it was blocked by the crossbar and bounced back.
And the football that bounced back happened to hit Olic's foot, and then flew back towards the goal... And what about the football that flew back? Hit the crossbar again and the bottom line popped up...
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh my God! Two crossbars in a short time! Olic missed the chance to score twice!"
Olic himself put his head in his hands and knelt in front of Dortmund's goal, looking at the goal in disbelief.
He never expected that he could hit the crossbar with two consecutive kicks. This luck... is enough to buy the European Lotto, right?
"Dortmund escaped! Olic's two consecutive shots from close range in a short period of time were rejected by the crossbar! At this moment, perhaps only the goal post of the Westfield Stadium is still functioning normally... "
When Olic did this, people in the stands also let out repeated exclamations.
When the football finally flew out of the baseline, the exclamations in the stands turned into a sigh of relief.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like they were exhausted after a disaster...
Weidenfeller jumped up excitedly and patted the goal crossbar above him, thanking him for stepping forward at the critical moment.
Compared with the Dortmund players who were grateful to have survived the disaster, the Wolfsburg players were much more depressed and unhappy.
What a great opportunity, only to have two crossbars in a row...is there any worse luck than this?
Duan Xin joked: "I'm afraid the most unhappy person at this time is not Wolfsburg, but Bayern Munich, right?"
If Olic can score twice, he can cause a lot of trouble for Dortmund. Probably no one believes that Dortmund can complete the comeback after being two goals behind, right? There are too many reversals like this, which is also very demoralizing.

Olic's shot did not go in. After a few minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Although the goal post of the Westfield Stadium blocked Olic's shot, many Wolfsburg fans and Bayern Munich fans still have great confidence in Olic.
They believe that with Olic's condition, he can definitely score goals in the second half.
And if Olic scores twice in the second half and gives Wolfsburg a two-goal lead, Dortmund will definitely be basically finished.
But when the second half started, the situation was somewhat different from what they had imagined.
Dortmund seemed to have regained their energy from the beginning of the second half and launched a fierce attack on Wolfsburg's goal.
From the 48th minute to the 49th minute, Dortmund shot two consecutive shots, and the second shot finally got them a corner kick.
Royce was not here, so Shaheen took the corner kick.
After Shaheen took a corner kick, there was chaos in front of the Wolfsburg goal. In the chaos, Hummels jumped up, overwhelmed other players in front of the Wolfsburg goal, and then came A powerful lion head shake!
With such a hard header from this distance, Wolfsburg goalkeeper Marcos Green made a save, but it was still a little late.
The football has flown into the goal!
"Hummels! Powerful header! He equalized the score for Dortmund! Just at the beginning of the second half, Dortmund showed their strong strength and determination!" Marcel Leif shouted.
The entire West** Stadium was filled with cheers from Dortmund fans, almost suppressing his voice.
"After enduring the suffering in the first half, the Dortmund fans were venting their inner emotions! With the equalizer, the two teams are now back on the same starting line, and Dortmund, who are playing at home, are in high morale, which is a good match for Wolff. It’s definitely not a good thing for Fort…”

Of course, Wolfsburg was not willing to be equalized like this. They had always been in the lead before. This psychological gap made them launch a more violent counterattack after being equalized.
After all, as long as they win against Dortmund, they can become fourth in the league and enter the Champions League.
So of course Wolfsburg will not give up and fall into chaos just because they were equalized.
They answered Dortmund with a more intense offensive.
In the 59th minute, Wolfsburg launched a quick counterattack. Perisic dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left and then shot from a small angle. As a result, the ball missed the far corner.
In the 63rd minute, it was Perisic again. He made a pass from the left. Olic, who was in excellent form, followed up in the middle to grab the spot and shoot. As a result, the football missed the goal again...
A minute later, Wolfsburg center back Nardo came forward and hit the goal with a powerful kick thirty meters away. The football went over the crossbar.
From the 59th minute to the 64th minute, in five minutes, Wolfsburg had three shots, and they were all quite threatening.
But Dortmund, who had just scored, was suppressed.
This shows how difficult Wolfsburg is to deal with.
But since Dortmund has been able to win the league championship for three consecutive seasons, it was not achieved by luck.
After withstanding Wolfsburg's offensive, Dortmund took advantage of their fierce attack to fight Wolfsburg's counterattack.
For example, in the 69th minute, Dortmund launched a quick counterattack and gained the opportunity to overwhelm the opponent with more.
Aubameyang gave the football to Zhou Yi who came from the side in front of the penalty area. Zhou Yi faced the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the far corner with his right foot!
The football had already bypassed goalkeeper Green's fingers, but it hit the outside of the goalpost and flew out of the baseline!
"Zhou Yi's goal... What a pity! It was so close, so close! Maybe it was because he wanted to avoid Green, so he pursued the angle too much..." Duan Xin felt sorry for Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi also slapped his face in annoyance, then shook his head and ran back.
There is not much time for regrets, there are twenty minutes left in the game, and Dortmund needs at least one goal.
※※※
In the 73rd minute, Zhou Yi made a wonderful pass to Aubameyang. Aubameyang took a long shot 20 meters away from the goal, but the shot was too straight and was directly hugged by goalkeeper Green.
Next, Dortmund's ball possession rate gradually increased, after all, this is their home court. And what about Wolfsburg? After five minutes of crazy attack with three shots, their momentum dropped a little bit, and their pressing of Dortmund players was not as good as it was in the first half.
In turn, the tenacious Dortmund began to threaten Wolfsburg's goal more.
Especially in the 75th minute, Klopp replaced Mkhitaryan with Yan Min and Grosskreutz with Reus.
Two people were replaced at the same time, which shows Klopp's determination to win this game.
It doesn't look like he wants to give up on the league.
But... is it still too late to make substitutions and adjustments with fifteen minutes left in the game?
Holding back for the sake of the Champions League, waiting until the last moment of the game to replace the main players and give it a try... Will this routine eventually fail? rw
