Chapter 258 The Situation Has Changed

Yan Min, who scored the goal, felt that he was in very good condition and his confidence was now as high as the skyrocketing.

With the ball, no matter what the situation, he dares to lead and break through.

Just after Lucas wasted a scoring opportunity from Paris Saint-Germain, Yan Min received the football from Zhou Yi on the wing.

Although Zhou Yi was not far away to meet him, he still chose to dribble the ball into the penalty area himself.

His starting speed is very fast, which is Yan Min's characteristic, so even if he picks up the ball and starts again, Yan Min can use this specialty to get rid of his opponent.

He broke into the penalty area smoothly.

Facing Verratti who was playing back in the penalty area, Yan Min still had no intention of passing the ball, even though Zhou Yi was right next to him. He still chose to dribble.

Because he is confident that he can break through and shake off Verratti.

His self-confidence sometimes makes people think that he is unclear and wasting opportunities, but sometimes it makes people cheer for the miracles he has created...

This time when he accelerated into the penalty area and faced Verratti, he suddenly slowed down. While decelerating, he gently moved the football to the side with the outside of his right foot, and then changed direction to get out of Verratti's way. Frontal defense.

As a result, at this moment, the two people came into physical contact. It is not known whether Verratti bumped into Yan Min on his own initiative, or whether Yan Min bumped into Verratti during the change of direction.

In short, the two people came into physical contact, and then Yan Min lost his balance and fell to the ground...

The Dortmund fans in the stands could not wait to pronounce the verdict: "This is a foul!"

"Penalty kick! Penalty kick!"

Yan Min, who was lying on the ground, also turned to look at the referee.

But the referee shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that it was not a penalty kick.

Yan Min looked confused at first, then he jumped up from the ground and wanted to go to the referee to argue - why was it not a penalty kick when the opponent knocked me down? !

But he was caught by Zhou Yi who came over: "What are you doing? You have a yellow card on you, did you forget?"

Yan Min was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was carrying a yellow card. He was so excited just now that he really forgot about it...

At this time, if he goes to the referee to argue,

If he makes some rude remarks, the referee might just send him off...

He didn't want to be sent off just as he was in form.

So no matter how unhappy he was at this time, he could only swallow his anger.

Yan Min had to compromise, but the Dortmund fans in the stands did not have to carry such psychological baggage. They used boos and curses to express their attitude towards the referee's decision.

Marcel Leif and He Ping also expressed their doubts.

"How could this not be a penalty kick? There was obvious physical contact between the two people, right? There was even a tug on Verratti's hand, and of course he let go quickly... But I think a penalty kick should be awarded There is no problem! Yan Min did lose his center of gravity and fell to the ground because of Verratti's physical contact..." Marcel Leif firmly stood on Dortmund's side.

He Ping also felt that the referee's penalty was questionable: "...it cannot be said that because there was no obvious hand movement, it was not a foul. Verratti obviously saw Yan Min was about to break through and had no time to make other defensive moves. , pressed his entire body weight up, which caused Yan Min to fall... This should be a penalty kick!"

The French commentator had a different stance than them, and of course his views were different: "Yan Min's move was very cunning. It should have been a dive. The physical contact between Verratti and him was not severe enough to cause him to fall like this." At the point...Yan Min still wants a penalty kick? It's good that the referee didn't give him a yellow card! You know he already had a yellow card. I think the referee must have taken this into consideration, so he was merciful... ...Otherwise Dortmund would have one less player to face now!”

※※※

Although Yan Min's breakthrough did not result in a penalty kick, it did not affect his confidence and performance.

Three minutes later, he was pulled down by Jalai when he broke through again on the wing. The referee finally called a foul this time and gave Dortmund a free kick from the frontcourt. However, he did not give Jalai a yellow card, but only gave a verbal warning. After a while, this once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the Dortmund fans in the stands, and boos broke out again.

The position of this free kick is almost the same as the previous free kick that Shaheen almost scored. This will inevitably lead to some associations.

And this free kick was indeed taken by Shaheen, and the door was also crowded with people.

After Shaheen's free kick was taken, he did not encounter anyone in the middle and was deflected towards the goal. Instead, he successfully reached the area in front of the goal. A group of people jumped up to compete for the top, and the football fell down during the melee. And defender Hummels, who was rushing forward to fight for the top, happened to be right behind the final goal. He didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, and followed up with a volley!

But it is a pity that he may have wanted to exert too much force. This volley was simply powerful and heavy, but he ended up kicking the ball. The football drew an outer arc and missed the baseline...

"Hummels' kick...it's really a defender's kick!" He Ping couldn't help complaining. "It's such a close distance and it's a small penalty area. Even if it's just a slight push, as long as you can touch the football, you have a high chance of scoring it..."

The TV broadcast also showed a close-up shot of a middle-aged female fan in the stands behind the goal. In the shot, the Dortmund fan covered her mouth with her hands, shook her head, and looked in disbelief at the direction the football was going, as if she couldn't believe Hu. Myers was able to waste such opportunities.

Although Hummels did not score this goal, it at least shows that Dortmund has the advantage on the scene. Maybe Paris Saint-Germain will not be so lucky next time...

Dortmund's tidal offensive has also put a lot of pressure on Paris Saint-Germain.

Originally, they were leading 3:1 at home, which was a relatively safe score. In addition, not long after the game started, the opponent's main player Royce was injured and came off the field. This situation is more beneficial to them...

Who would have thought that a goal would be lost now, and the situation would suddenly be fundamentally reversed.

Paris Saint-Germain clearly leads the total score, but is at a complete disadvantage in terms of form...

The mentality of the players has also changed and they have become a little impatient.

In the 39th minute, Matuidi was too anxious when counterattacking in the frontcourt and fouled Sven Bender. Although he had already grabbed the ball, he pushed Sven Bender down.

The referee blew the whistle and suspended the game.

This caused Cavani to become dissatisfied and he yelled at the referee, which earned him a yellow card.

And because of this yellow card, even if Paris Saint-Germain gets past Dortmund and advances to the semifinals, he will miss the first leg of the semifinals.

"Cavani shouldn't have received this yellow card. Matuidi committed a foul. He went up to complain, but ended up being rude. He received a yellow card and will not be able to play in the next game... Of course, it is also possible that regardless of whether there is this yellow card or not, Cavani won't be able to play in the next Champions League game... If the current momentum continues, it's not impossible..."

After Cavani's yellow card, there were five minutes left in the first half. During these five minutes, the two sides never made any waves.

In the end, Dortmund temporarily took a 1:0 lead at home and ended the first half.

Although he was leading by one goal, at the end of the first half and the players were walking down, Weidenfeller, as the captain of the team, hurried up to the head coach and discussed with him the seriousness of the first half. Min fell down in the penalty area.

Of course, Weidenfeller was not looking for trouble with the referee, but just as the captain, he wanted to show him Dortmund's attitude. This is also a reminder to the referee, implying that Dortmund is not a soft persimmon who can be easily manipulated by others, and the penalty scale should not be too excessive. This time the penalty was not awarded, Dortmund suffered a loss, but I hope the referee will think more about it when making the penalty in the second half...

This is a way for the home team to put pressure on the referee, and it is very gentle pressure. It is also a normal way of communicating with the referee. Is it easier for the referee team to accept than the pressure method of blocking the door of the referee's lounge to prevent the referee from coming out?
