Chapter 312: Smash a Nail In
In the 44th minute, with one minute left before the end of the first half, Dortmund got a foul ball on the left, just past the center line.
Left back Grosskreutz went up to Atletico Madrid's ball boy to ask for the ball, preparing to throw the throw-in.
But Atletico Madrid's ball boy did not throw the football back to him immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, and then threw the football hard into the court. The football went over Grosskreutz's head and fell to the ground. Near the center circle.
This was obviously a ploy by the caddy to stall for time. I don’t want to give Dortmund a chance to attack before the end of the first half...
Although Grosskreutz has a bad temper, he does not dare to do anything to the caddy or the child, otherwise he will face severe punishment.
He could only spread his hands and complain to the referee about the opponent's behavior.
As a result, there was applause and cheers from Atletico Madrid fans in the stands, which of course were all for the "witty" ball boy.
Generally speaking, the ball boys at a team's home court are members of its youth team and junior team. So naturally they sided with their senior team.
Marcel Leif criticized the caddy's approach: "This approach is very unfriendly and unnecessary..."
Zhou Yi did not protest to the referee or struggle with the ball boy. Instead, he ran over and passed the football thrown by the ball boy to Grosskreutz.
After Grosskreutz picked up the football, he spread his hands in the direction of the ball boy.
The TV broadcast also gave a close-up shot of the caddy, in which the teenager showed a disdainful expression towards Grosskreutz.
He considers the interests of Atletico Madrid and is not afraid of a Dortmund player. Of course he also knows that Grosskreutz does not dare to do anything to him.
Grosskreutz really didn't dare to do anything to him. He didn't even dare to curse. Otherwise, if the media asked a lip reader to interpret it after the game, all the contents of his curse would come out, and he would definitely come out again. It was an uproar.
Grosskreutz could only hold back his breath and endure it.
He then threw the football towards Hummels who came up to meet him.
Hummels didn't stop the ball and directly passed the ball back to him.
Grosskreutz turned around after hitting the ball,
Seeing Yan Min running in front of him on the wing, he passed the football over.
Yan Min turned around with the ball and tried to dribble laterally, but the football was scooped away by Thiago, the Atletico Madrid player who was guarding him.
The shoveled football fell back to Grosskreutz's feet. Of course, Atletico Madrid also immediately had two players blocking Grosskreutz.
Grosskreutz turned around quickly and passed the football back.
It was passed to Zhou Yi who was responding in the middle. Zhou Yi distributed the football to the right and passed it to the right back Piszczek who came in.
When the football came to Piszczek, he didn't know how to pass it. He looked up and saw no good opportunities.
However, as a Dortmund player, one thing should be very clear, that is, if you don't know how to handle the ball on the court, then pass the football to Zhou Yi.
So Piszczek passed the football up again
Zhou Yi had been observing the situation on the court before this. He saw that Yan Min did not stay where he was after the ball was tackled, but moved to the middle, but not very fast.
But when he passed the football to Piszczek, Yan Min suddenly accelerated and rushed to the right. And because Royce's position was relatively deep, Atletico Madrid's defensive players pressed forward, and there was space behind them.
Zhou Yi was keenly aware that this was an opportunity.
Just at this time, Piszczek passed the football, so he did not stop the ball and directly pushed the football to the right rib of Atletico Madrid's penalty area.
The football rolled across a diagonal line on the turf, rolling towards the empty space where no one was.
Of course, before Zhou Yi passes the ball, there is no one's space there.
But from now on, no more.
Yan Min went straight into that place, and Godin, a central defender from Atletico Madrid, also chased after him, but instead of grabbing the ball at Yan Min's feet, he pushed Yan Min to the sideline and out of the penalty area.
Godin's defense is still very sophisticated. Under his defense, it is indeed difficult for Yan Min to get a chance to turn around. He can only be "pushed" out of the penalty area by Godin.
At this time, Atletico Madrid's left back Felipe also ran up and guarded Yan Min with Godin.
When Godin saw reinforcements coming, he took the initiative to stick to Yan Min. His hands were still moving, and he grabbed Yan Min's left arm to prevent him from easily getting rid of him and creating space with him. At the same time, he was stuck on the bottom line. On one side, prevent Yan Min from slipping through.
At this time, Felipe also came up from the other side. The two of them sandwiched Yan Min and pushed him to the sideline.
By the time it reached the sideline, Dortmund's attack basically hit a dead end.
Zhou Yi originally saw the space and passed it to the space. Yan Min also ran into the space, but Atletico Madrid's defensive response was very good, making Dortmund's offense unable to play.
Yan Min was almost forced into a dead end. Under the attack of Godin and Felipe, he seemed to be helpless.
But just as he was about to reach the sideline, Yan Min pushed Felipe with his left hand, suddenly stepped on the football behind him with his right foot, and at the same time pulled his left arm out of Godin's arms, turned around quickly, and wanted to get away from Felipe. Get through the gap between you and Godin!
Godin's defensive experience is so sophisticated. When he saw Yan Min turn around, he immediately leaned forward and filled the gap.
At the same time, Felipe cooperated with him tacitly and immediately kicked the ball with his feet.
The two of them, one sticking and the other breaking, wanted to completely block Yan Min's breakthrough.
But Yan Min's foot speed was faster than the two tall defenders. Yan Min stretched out his left foot before Felipe and pulled the football back!
Felipe didn't expect Yan Min's feet to move so fast. He even stretched out his feet, but missed the football and missed it.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Min pulled the football back with his left foot and pushed the football out with his right foot. The football slipped between the legs of Godin who was caught off guard.
While pushing the ball, Yan Min started up, like an electric sports car, starting at an extremely fast speed, and instantly slipped through the gap between Godin and the baseline!
The ball passed!
When Godin turned around hastily, Yan Min had already got the ball behind him.
"Yan Min! Oh oh oh oh! What a beautiful breakthrough! What a wonderful personal performance!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.
However, Yan Min, who completed the double-play breakthrough, did not continue to dribble the ball towards the goal. After looking up, he decisively used his right foot to sweep the football towards the center of the penalty area, near the penalty spot!
There, Zhou Yizheng stepped forward, faced the football from Yan Min, and shot with just a flick of his foot!
The straight script shoots the football and presses it firmly on the turf.
The football was rushing forward on the turf. The turf that was watered before the game was a little slippery, which reduced the friction and accelerated the rolling speed of the football.
Although there were two Atletico Madrid defenders and Manjing goalkeeper Courtois in front of Zhou Yi and the goal, the football kicked by Zhou Yi still missed them and flew towards the goal.
Neither of the two Atletico Madrid defenders could touch the football. In fact, they didn't even have time to react because Zhou Yi's shot was too decisive and too quick.
Courtois fell to the ground and threw himself back. But just now he was attracted by Yan Min's breakthrough and went to the near corner to block it, but Zhou Yi's shot went straight to the back corner. The gap between the two sides was a bit big, and he didn't touch the football at all...
Under the horrified gaze of countless Atletico Madrid fans, the football rolled into the goal unimpeded!
In the 44th minute of the game, Dortmund scored.
"Book of Changes! Book of Changes! Book of Changes! Book of Changes! Book of Changes!!! Wow! Great!!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. "Zhou Yi volleyed the ball into Atletico Madrid's goal! He got a goal back for Dortmund, and most importantly, this goal reopened the score gap between the two sides, and Dortmund also had a Away goal! Even if Atletico Madrid scores two more goals to equalize the total score, they will still be eliminated due to the disadvantage of away goals, unless they score three more goals... Originally 0:3 situation It’s not easy to score three goals next time. Atletico Madrid managed to score two goals, but one goal from Zhou Yi made all their previous efforts go to waste!”
"Yan Min's breakthrough! Beautiful! Pass... Oh Zhou Yi! What a ball! What a ball! Clean and neat!" He Ping was also very excited. "He scored a crucial goal, and it was as if he had driven a nail into Atletico Madrid's chest with his own hands!!"
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi was also very happy. He pointed at Yan Min and ran towards him. In fact, the biggest credit for this goal must be remembered by Yan Min. If he hadn't turned the rotten into a miraculous breakthrough on the wing, he would not have had his own. what chance.
Yan Min also pointed at Zhou Yi and waited for Zhou Yi to come up.
Although his breakthrough is beautiful, if there is no one to shoot the football into the goal, then all the previous efforts will be meaningless.
The two hugged each other, and more teammates swarmed in, surrounded them, and made dumplings.
The Calderon Stadium, home of Atletico Madrid, fell into a brief period of silence...
