Chapter 279 Super Long Stoppage Time
When Zhou Yi ran back to the court, the commentators were still talking about this special proposal ceremony.
The subject of the battle between Dortmund and Bayern Munich has been put to the back, and no one has mentioned it for the time being.
"...The tense air seems to have become a little sweeter! Ha!" Duan Xin joked.
But Bayern Munich fans certainly don’t think so.
Zhou Yi not only completed a hat trick to help Dortmund lead by two goals, but also acted recklessly on their territory and proposed to his girlfriend.
This scene will always be mentioned when football anecdotes are mentioned in the future, and once it is mentioned, Bayern Munich will never escape the fate of being repeatedly humiliated as background introduction.
Just like AC Milan, as long as we talk about a shocking reversal, they were eliminated by Deportivo La Coruna 4:1 at home and 0:4 away from home, and they were eliminated by Deportivo La Coruña 4:1 in the first half of the Champions League final and 0:3 in the second half. The penalty shootout defeat by Liverpool in these two games will be repeatedly mentioned as an issue, just like being nailed to a pillar of shame.
This is what makes Bayern Munich fans the most unhappy. Think about how the media will mention this scene in the future: "... few players in the history of world football have proposed to their girlfriends in person after scoring a goal. But Zhou Yi has done this before. Witnessed by global TV audiences, he proposed to his girlfriend Cortana... It was in the 30th round of the Bundesliga in the 2013-2014 season, when Dortmund and Bayern Munich won the league championship. The competition has reached its most intense moment... Dortmund scored first in this game, but then before the end of the first half, Bayern Munich equalized the score... Not long after the second half started, Zhou Yi scored twice to help Dortmund Taking the lead again... Then the game remained stalemate until the 81st minute, when Zhou Yi scored a hat trick to help Dortmund take the lead again. After completing the hat trick, Zhou Yi ran straight to the Dortmund coaching bench and knelt down on one knee to pay his respects. His girlfriend, Cortana, who is also Dortmund’s team doctor, proposed. The heroine nodded in agreement, and they kissed each other. Their romance was blessed by countless people..."
How strange!
At least now the tens of thousands of Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena will not bless him, and may even curse him...
The television broadcast gave Cortana a close-up that she has rarely received since the novelty of being a woman in the Dortmund dugout wore off.
In the camera, Dr. Braun, Dortmund's team medical leader, is smiling and talking to Cortana. Cortana is also smiling, and the blush on her face has not faded, making her look even more charming.
"What a happy man..." Marcel Leif said with emotion.
"I don't know how many women would dare to imagine this scene. It's so romantic!"
※※※
The game is still going on, but everyone is a little distracted.
With ten minutes left in the game, Dortmund already leads Bayern Munich by two goals.
Zhouyi's third goal was a fatal blow to the morale of the Bayern Munich players.
Although it was better than last season's goal in the final countdown, it still left Bayern Munich ten minutes.
But unlike last season's game, Bayern Munich was two goals behind this time...
Scored two goals in ten minutes to equalize the score... Dortmund is not a soft persimmon they can bully easily. How easy is it?
Dortmund's defense is indeed not neat enough, but it is much better than when the two sides met for the first time this season. And when Dortmund is determined to defend, their goal is still difficult to break.
The difference between two goals will inevitably make people feel discouraged.
Not to mention that Zhou Yi's celebration just now also greatly damaged the morale of the Bayern Munich players - delaying time openly and showing affection...
Although the situation was difficult, Gotze was unwilling to give up.
He knew it would be difficult to score two goals, but that was no reason to give up.
He looked at the expressions of his teammates, gritted his teeth, and then suddenly shouted on the court: "Cheer up! The game is not over yet! We still have a chance!"
His voice surprised everyone, because whether it was in Dortmund or Bayern Munich in the fifth round, Gotze is not the kind of player who likes to make noise on the court, and he is not the kind of person with leadership qualities.
Gotze is indeed not the kind of person who can boost morale. His teammates all looked at him, but he did not strike while the iron was hot and say something to boost morale. He wanted to use his actual actions to awaken the fighting spirit of his teammates.
So after the game restarted, he ran aggressively as if he had just been substituted.
In the 85th minute, he passed Yan Min with the ball from the wing and then chose to pass the ball low. As a result, the ball was cleared by Piszczek who caught up.
In the 88th minute, Thomas Muller entered the penalty area and wanted to shoot. As a result, Hummels poked the football out first. The football fell right at the feet of Gotze who had been following him. He shot with a flick of his foot. !
But the football hit Hummels' thigh and changed the line, missing the bottom line!
"Götze's shot! Oops! It was blocked! What a pity..."
There was a sigh of regret from the stands.
Gotze had no time to feel sorry for this. He quickly ran to the baseline, went to the ball boy to ask for the ball, then personally took the ball to the corner flag area, placed it for Toni Kroos who was serving, and then ran back to the penalty area.
Seeing Gotze working so hard to score Dortmund's goal, many Dortmund fans were yelling at him in the stands and in front of the TV at this moment.
Gotze also knew that the attitude he showed would be hyped by the media after the game, and at the same time give Dortmund fans a reason to scold him.
But at this time, he no longer cared about what Dortmund fans thought of him. He simply didn't want to lose to Zhou Yi.
A corner kick was taken, and Lewandowski headed the ball, but it was higher than the crossbar. There was no second attack, and there was no second corner kick. The ball returned to Dortmund's feet.
It was already the 89th minute. The fourth official held up a stoppage time sign on the sidelines because Neuer was injured not long after the start of the second half. The waiting process for treatment was very long. In addition, Bayern The controversy caused by Munich's offside goal, and Zhou Yi's slightly longer celebration of the third goal, the injury time of this game was as long as... nine minutes!
As soon as the injury time came out, Dortmund's head coach Klopp was not satisfied. He went to the fourth official and yelled at him, asking him why there was such a long stoppage time.
In fact, of course he knows why it is so long, but fighting for the interests of his own team does not matter whether it is right or wrong. He must put pressure on those who should put pressure.
In addition to Klopp's dissatisfaction, Dortmund fans are also dissatisfied. As Dortmund supporters, of course they will not be reasonable, but only look at their position. There is nothing wrong with this at this time. If Dortmund had benefited from the injury time, the Allianz Arena would have been booed at this time.
Guardiola stood on the sidelines and looked at the stadium seriously.
Next to him, assistant coach Hermann Grande was shouting loudly into the court: "There is still time, there is still time! Seize the opportunity! Don't give up!!"
He roared until his voice became hoarse.
The other Bayern Munich substitute players also stood up from their positions, stood on the sidelines, and shouted anxiously: "Come on! Guys! Come on!!"
In front of Dortmund's bench and coach's bench, there were also people from Dortmund, who were also shouting: "Hold on! Hold on! Don't worry about how many minutes there are! Don't relax until you hear the referee blowing the whistle!" "
But in fact, I don’t know if their roars can really be transmitted to the ears of their teammates on the court, because now the Allianz Arena is filled with the sounds of Bayern Munich fans, including boos and cheers for the team. The ground roared, and there was singing.
Everyone was extremely nervous, and the commentators stopped talking about Zhou Yi and Cortana's love history.
"In the nine minutes of injury time, if Gotze's goal could be scored, now they are only one goal away. Then it would be much easier to score another goal in the remaining nine minutes... And now , they have to score two goals. I’m not saying Bayern Munich can’t do it, nor am I saying it’s impossible, but in terms of probability, this is indeed a bit low..."
※※※
In the 91st minute, Gotze fired again outside the penalty area. The football was shot out by Weidenfeller and flew to the right. Raphinha rushed forward and wanted to pass the football directly to the goal, but instead kicked an anti-aircraft gun. The football turned a weird arc and flew high over the baseline.
"Rafinha's ball... He didn't have Dortmund players around him at the time. He could have stopped and passed it again. Although there is not much time left for Bayern Munich, is this too anxious?" Marcel Leif was merciless in his criticism of Raphinha's performance. "Doing this will completely destroy your own morale!"
Dortmund then took a goal kick.
This time, instead of pushing forward from the backcourt, Weidenfeller kicked the football to the frontcourt with a big kick. Mark jumped up and pushed the football back to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi got the ball in the center circle. Facing Lahm's pressing, he turned around to protect the football and was not in a hurry to play the ball. On the one hand, he did not have a better passing target, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay a little more time. , even if you can let the football stay here for one more second, it will be delayed for one more second.
But how could the Bayern Munich players not see what he wanted to do?
Lahm was squeezed behind Zhou Yi, and Bastian Schweinsteiger rushed over from the side and kicked the football away from the side, knocking Zhou Yi down at the same time.
However, this time the referee Zweil did not blow the whistle for a foul, but ran forward with the football.
Zhou Yi, who fell to the ground, spread his hands and looked helpless, while Klopp roared again off the court.
Duan Xin questioned: "Isn't this a foul? Bastian Schweinsteiger obviously kicked Zhou Yi's supporting foot, right? It should be a foul anyway, right?"
But no one can change the referee's decision.
Zhou Yi also quickly got up from the ground and participated in the team's defense.
Bayern Munich used this counterattack to attack again, but unfortunately Thomas Muller's long shot was too forward and was hugged by Weidenfeller.
In fact, this is not a very difficult football to save. Weidenfeller could catch the ball by leaning forward, but he still lay on the ground after catching the ball, which took a little more time.
It was already the 93rd minute of the game, and Weidenfeller delayed for several seconds before getting up from the ground.
The boos in the stands of the Allianz Arena completely drowned out other sounds, and these boos were directed at Weidenfeller.
After Weidenfeller got up, he kicked the football forward with his big foot. However, he did not reach the middle of the court, but deliberately kicked it to the left side of the court. The football crossed the center line, deflected to the left, and was close to the goal line. After being idle for a while, he flew out of the sideline in front of Bayern Munich's bench.
A throw-in ball was given to Bayern Munich, but in order to serve this throw-in ball, Bayern Munich must have someone running over to throw the ball, and someone to catch the ball, which all takes time.
Dortmund really tried their best to delay time.
Even the throw-in was used.
In order to save time, Bayern Munich worked harder. Their goalkeeper Lucas Reid rushed out of the goal when Weidenfeller played like this. Not long after the football flew out of the sideline, he ran away. He came over, took the football thrown by his teammates off the field, and threw the football into the field with great force, and threw it to the central defender Dante who was retreating to receive the ball.
Then he quickly ran back to his goal.
Every second counts.
