Chapter 335 Fatal Mistake

Although the two sides' attacks were back and forth and the game was lively, no goals were scored.

Of course, considering the nature of the final, sometimes a single goal may determine the outcome of the game, so this is quite normal.

After all, the goalkeepers on both sides performed reasonably well.

In the 30th minute of the game, Zhou Yi pretended to pass the ball outside the penalty area, but suddenly made a cold arrow and shot a long shot against the turf and straight into the lower right corner of the goal.

Casillas made a wonderful save after moving one step. He dived sideways and used his fingers to push the ball out of the baseline.

Dortmund receives a corner kick on the right side of the goal.

Royce takes the corner kick.

Seeing Dortmund get a corner kick, Klopp got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and stared intently into the stadium.

Central defenders with height advantages such as Hummels and Papastathopoulos crowded in front of Real Madrid's goal, preparing to header for Dortmund.

Almost all Real Madrid players shrank in the penalty area to defend this corner kick.

Zhou Yi did not go in to join in the fun, but waited outside the restricted area as before. His mission has two points. On the one hand, he is to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. If the football flies to his side, he can interfere a little and buy time for his teammates to return to defense. On the other hand, he is naturally preparing to grab the second spot and lay the foundation for the team's second attack.

After both players took their positions, referee Kuipers blew the whistle.

Royce took a running start and then kicked the football into the penalty area.

The football drew an outer arc and flew near the penalty spot.

Players from both sides jumped up at the same time to compete for the ball.

In the end, Ramos relied on his outstanding jumping ability to hit the football before others.

He was still leaning back at the time, relying on the strength of his waist and abdomen to push the football outside the penalty area.

Ramos's top shot was quite powerful, and the football flew high out of the penalty area and fell towards... Zhou Yi's area.

Zhou Yi saw the football flying over, took half a step back with his right leg, leaned back slightly, and opened up the space.

When the football flew over, he directly stepped on it with his right foot. The force was not very strong, just like playing table tennis to raise the ball.

The football was touched by the inside of his right foot and flew back into Real Madrid's penalty area.

At this time, Real Madrid's defense was busy pressing forward to prevent offside, and Zhou Yi's pad just pushed the football to the area behind them.

The Real Madrid players who were still stuck in the Real Madrid penalty area had different reactions. Someone stood still and raised his arms. No matter which Dortmund player behind him received the football, the ball would definitely be offside.

Others were backing up to defend and raising their heads at the same time, preparing to push the football out again.

But I was always caught off guard.

At this time, goalkeeper Casillas chose to abandon the goal and attack. He decided to expand his defensive range to fill the gap where the defenders had no time to return.

But he seemed to have misjudged the distance between the ball's landing point and the goal.

He was just halfway through when the football dropped to a position where he could be hit by his head.

When the football flew out of the penalty area, Hummels, who was about to follow him out of the penalty area, suddenly saw Zhou Yi kicking the football back, so he quickly stopped running out and immediately turned sideways. Pressing in front of the goal, he jumped up before the Real Madrid players who were caught off guard, shook his head hard, and his scalp hit the football!

The football does not fly straight to the goal, but makes a slight arc and flies to the goal in a parabola...

At this time, Casillas had just run to the line of the small penalty area... He ran halfway and found that the football was bumped by the opponent. This was beyond his expectation, so he was stunned for a moment on the line of the small penalty area. , the football has gone over his head.

At this time, he hurriedly turned around and ran back to chase the falling football.

When the football was about to cross the goal line, he jumped back and stretched his arm towards the football, trying to get the football back before it entered the goal.

But his reaction was still slow...

The football had already crossed the goal line, and he hit the football back with his hand. At this time, the football that was hit back hit the leg of Mark, who was following forward, and bounced back into the goal.

Now Casillas has fallen into the goal, entangled in the net, and can no longer do anything...

"Eh? Eh! The ball has been scored!!" He Ping hesitated for a moment, then saw the football flying back to the goal for the second time, and then he roared confidently. "The ball is in! The ball is in! In the 31st minute of the game, Dortmund took the lead!! Zhou Yi completed his first assist of the game! The last seven teams that have scored first in the Champions League finals, Only Bayern Munich failed to win the title in 2012 and 2013. Of the nearly thirty-six teams that scored first in the Champions League final, thirty eventually won the championship! Now Dortmund takes the lead in the Champions League final!"

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!" Marcel Leif was also very excited, "Is it Hummels or Mark? But no matter what, the goal has been scored, and Dortmund leads Real Madrid by one goal in the final! Oh! Subtitles It came out, and the one who scored the goal was Hummels! This is the first defender to score in the Champions League final since Sol Campbell and Belletti in the 2006 Champions League final!"

Compared with the excitement and excitement of the Chinese and German commentators, the Spanish commentator's disappointment was palpable: "This ball was lost... Oh!" He sighed heavily. "Dortmund made an unexpected attack and Hummels' clever header gave them the lead. Real Madrid made a series of mistakes in defense this time!"

After the goal, Hummels confirmed it. He immediately turned to look at the linesman. If the linesman stood still, it meant there was something wrong with the ball.

As a result, he saw the side referee running towards the center line!

As a professional player who has experienced many battles, how could he not know what this means?

The goal is valid!

Yes, the goal counts!

The referee Kuipers also blew the whistle and turned to point to the center circle.

He excitedly ran towards the corner flag area, then slid to his knees and fell to the ground.

His teammates followed him one after another, slid to their knees together, tackled him, and pinned him down. Everyone celebrated the goal excitedly.

The Dortmund fans in the stands were jumping and cheering.

At this time, the TV broadcast cut to Casillas again. He broke free from the entanglement of the net, and then kicked the football right next to him. Then he put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky, looking very... depressed.

Then the TV broadcast began to replay the scoring process. From Royce taking the corner kick to the ball finally flying into the goal, everyone could see it clearly from different angles.

"...Casillas made a series of mistakes in this defense. First of all, he should not have rashly abandoned the goal while his defender was still in position. Second, he placed the ball that was lobbed over by Zhou Yi. There was a mistake in judgment and he failed to judge the accurate landing point. The third mistake was that he suddenly slowed down and hesitated in the middle of the attack. As a result, Hummels easily completed the header. The fourth mistake was When the football flew over his head, he was stunned for a moment and his reaction was half a beat too slow... In short, this goal was caused by a series of mistakes by the goalkeeper..."

"This kind of goalkeeper either doesn't attack and leaves it to his defender to defend. Even if the defender can't hit the ball, he can interfere with it personally, and then the goalkeeper makes a save in front of the goal line. If he wants to attack, he must be decisive. , as soon as he fell to the ground, even if he couldn't hit the ball, he still had to interfere with the opponent's players. As a result, Casillas was halfway out but couldn't come out. It was really fatal..."

"Maybe Casillas didn't expect that he made a mistake in judging the ball's placement. When he found out that the placement of the football was not what he expected, he panicked... This kind of situation was really true for Casillas in the past. It's rare. But it happened in such an important game in the Champions League final... I can only say that it is really difficult for a goalkeeper who has only played 23 games in the entire season to maintain a good condition, especially in the past 20 days or so. Casillas has only played two games in that time..."

"Real Madrid paid the price for their internal struggle. As the main goalkeeper in the Champions League, Casillas has not received enough training in games. In this high ball judgment, Casillas is obviously rusty..."

"Casillas' physical fitness is declining rapidly now, coupled with the fact that he has played less games, his problem in catching high balls has been magnified - he was originally deficient in this aspect, but with his excellent performance before The bounce and reaction can still make up for it. But now as we get older, the bounce decreases, coupled with the fact that we play less games and the accumulation of state is not enough... it eventually leads to mistakes on this ball..."

"There is nothing to say. Casillas is responsible for this goal. This was not a good opportunity for Dortmund, but it turned into a goal..."

Commentators from various countries have targeted Casillas.

The former Real Madrid legend, Real Madrid captain "Saint Igor", saved Real Madrid's fate time and time again. No matter how indiscriminate bombardment he faced from the enemy, he could not be allowed to surrender or give up.

But this time, after looking up at the sky, he lowered his head deeply.

He is blaming himself.

But this is not his responsibility alone.

The TV broadcast then cut to a close-up shot of Real Madrid president Ferentino, who was watching the game on the podium.

The helmsman of the Galactic Battleship in the shot has no expression on his face.

Then the broadcast camera also scanned Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

In any case, the person who made the decision to let Casillas play in the cup and Diego Lopez in the league cannot be Florentino. As the head coach, Ancelotti must also bear the corresponding responsibility. .
