Chapter 338 The Reason Why the Curse Is a Curse

"Ronaldo Bale!!!" the Spanish commentator screamed. "Gareth Bale!!!"

In front of the TV, the players of the Chinese team held their heads and sighed.

Of course they are on Dortmund's side, because Dortmund has Zhou Yi and Yan Min, two of their teammates.

So everyone was disappointed to see Dortmund equalize the score.

After showing Real Madrid's celebrating players and a shot of the Real Madrid coaching bench, the television broadcast fell to Dortmund's side.

The first person to appear in the close-up is Weidenfeller, who despite making a dive back failed to block the ball.

The second one to appear was Zhou Yi.

The Spanish commentator talked a lot, but not everyone understood Spanish, and everyone was curious about what he said, so someone asked Sun Pan and He Ying, two teammates who had been in Spain, Find out what the narrator actually said.

"Hey, let's just say Dortmund is in crisis. I don't know what Zhou Yi can do in the face of such a situation." Sun Pan introduced simply.

He Ying said in more detail: "He said that Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund, and everyone's eyes will be on him. Conceding the ball just at the beginning of the second half is very detrimental to Dortmund, and it is also a blow to the morale of the players. This kind of At that time, as the core of the team, what kind of performance Zhou Yi will perform may determine the outcome of this game..."

After everyone listened to the two people's translation, they all took a breath: "Does the Spanish commentator speak so highly of Zhouyi?"

"Isn't this quite normal?" Sun Pan glanced at them and felt that they were making a fuss. "He is the only one of us here who has played in two Champions League finals."

If Dortmund didn't have Yan Min, Sun Pan would have said that Zhou Yi is the only Chinese player to have played in the Champions League final.

While the Real Madrid players were celebrating wildly, the morale of the Dortmund players was indeed a bit low.

Zhou Yi pursed his lips tightly. He didn't know what to say at this time. Besides, at this time, there is no point in saying anything, the only thing you can do is do it.

During the halftime break, head coach Klopp asked the team to use passing and controlling the ball in the second half to deal with Real Madrid.

Slow them down.

But now that the second half has just begun, this approach doesn't work.

Because Real Madrid has equalized the score, the premise for Dortmund and Real Madrid to slowly deal with each other no longer exists.

Also frowning was the head coach Klopp on the sidelines. Obviously he also knew how serious the problem was.

※※※

After the game restarted, Dortmund changed the practice of back and forth in the midfield in the second half of the first half and launched a fierce offensive towards Real Madrid's goal.

Zhou Yi played a very important role in this. He ran tirelessly across the field and appeared in almost every corner. No matter which Dortmund player takes the ball, he will definitely be able to find Zhou Yi's ball release point within a fifteen-meter radius.

Of course, Zhou Yi had to pay a heavy price in physical energy for doing this.

But of course he didn't care about that at this time, he wanted to put the situation back together first.

Under his leadership, Dortmund still played some offenses that threatened Real Madrid's goal.

For example, he distributed the football to the wing and asked Yan Min to pass the ball. Mark fired a left-footed volley from the edge of the penalty area at the back point, and the result was high.

But overall, Real Madrid still has the advantage. Dortmund can only play defensive counterattacks during this period.

Real Madrid's offensive is stronger than Dortmund's. They have the upper hand in momentum, and the general trend is more favorable to them.

Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left for more than thirty meters and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Not long after, Real Madrid started a small-scale pass and cut cooperation on the right rib of Dortmund's penalty area.

Benzema passed the football across the wing to Cristiano Ronaldo, who switched to the center. The latter did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the football forward. Benzema overtook the ball from the wing, received the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo in the ribs, took a step forward and crossed.

At the same time, Ronaldo, who had passed the ball, also ran to the goal, ready to respond.

At this critical moment, Dortmund midfielder Sven Bender, who retreated into the penalty area, stretched out his foot to block the football.

However, the football he blocked did not fly very far. It fell outside the penalty area and was picked up by Real Madrid for a second time. Modric picked up the football and passed an overhead kick to the Dortmund defense. Behind him, Coentrao moved forward smartly and ran behind the Dortmund defense to receive the ball. He did not stop the ball, but directly volleyed it!

“Coentrao—!!”

A powerful and heavy shot, but it was slightly on target.

Weidenfeller blocked the angle, but did not dare to hold the ball directly. He could only choose to block the football with his body.

The football hit his arm and flew off the baseline.

During this period, Dortmund also had a chance to counterattack. Yan Min took the ball at the front of the penalty area and tried to shoot. Varane was tricked into shoveling it, but he stabbed the ball under his crotch first, then jumped up and crossed Varane. Ranei, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

"Good shot! Good shot by Yan Min!" He Ping slapped the table in the commentary box and cheered loudly.

However, Yan Min was then forced to the wing by Ramos, who followed him, and had no choice but to pass in.

The passed ball was cleared by a Real Madrid player again...

In the 59th minute, Real Madrid hit Dortmund with a counterattack. Modric sent a precise long pass directly from the backcourt, sending the football in front of Bell.

Bell took full advantage of his speed, accelerated to catch up with the football, and went straight into Dortmund's penalty area!

"Real Madrid's counterattack! Bale! Very fast!"

At the same time, on the other side of the court, Cristiano Ronaldo was immersed in accelerating, shaking his hands desperately, driving his body forward. During the sprint, he turned his head and glanced at Bell's position, and then continued Lower your head and speed forward.

Dortmund's defensive attention has been attracted by Berg. Everyone is moving closer to the wing where Bell is, ignoring Cristiano Ronaldo on the other side.

Zhou Yi saw it, but his speed could not catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo, and his roar was drowned out by the cheers of Real Madrid fans.

He could only watch this scene, his heart tightening.

Sure enough, after Bell dribbled the ball to the edge of Dortmund's penalty area, he looked up at the penalty area. Because it was a counterattack, there were very few people in Dortmund's penalty area, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller was blocking the near corner. An open goal.

He passed the football without hesitation and sent a curling shot with his right foot.

The football bypassed Dortmund center back Papastathopoulos who returned to the penalty area. Papastathopoulos watched the football flying over and did not dare to stretch his legs at all, for fear of accidentally hitting the football into the goal. Go to the goal - Bale's pass is very bad...

As for goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the ball flew very fast and was not suitable for throwing it sideways to intercept. Weidenfeller could only turn around and run back to block the possible shot behind him.

But his turning speed is nothing compared to the speed of football.

As soon as he completed his turn, the football had already been passed to the back point.

There, Cristiano Ronaldo, who ran for most of the field at high speed, hit the horse and hit the ball from Bale with his foot!

The football shot into the goal like a cannonball, and did not stop until it hit the net...

The entire Stadium of Light was filled with cheers and roars from Real Madrid fans.

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo!!!" the Spanish commentator shouted in a long voice. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! His seventeenth Champions League goal this season! He set a new record and made history!"

After scoring the goal, the Portuguese ran excitedly to the corner flag area and celebrated the goal with a bodybuilder posture. However, he still had some sense and did not take off his clothes to show off his muscles, otherwise he would get a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate...

Cristiano Ronaldo ran towards the stands where Real Madrid fans had gathered, and fans there rushed to the first level of the stands to celebrate his goal with him.

Real Madrid players also flocked to Cristiano Ronaldo, surrounded him, hugged him, and celebrated the goal.

Marcel Leif's voice was filled with frustration: "Conceding two goals in a row... Dortmund is in big trouble. Real Madrid's offensive firepower is too strong. In fact, Dortmund cannot be said to be suppressed during this period. They had a chance to fight back... but unfortunately they didn't seize the opportunity, so the opportunity was given to Real Madrid... Now Dortmund has fallen behind, and the next game will be more difficult for them, because Real Madrid's Their state and confidence have been completely brought out. Their morale is high, no matter how hard they fight..."

※※※

After Cristiano Ronaldo scored, the Chinese players in front of the TV did not say a word, and everyone was silent.

It's like they dropped the ball.

They feel the same way. Think about it, what should you do if you encounter such a situation?

I'm afraid there's nothing I can do, right?

When they were equalized by Real Madrid, some people felt that the situation was not conducive to Dortmund. The result is even more unfavorable now...

Since the Champions League was restructured, no defending champion has ever successfully defended the title.

This "magic curse" appears in many people's minds.

The reason why it is a "curse" is because there really is a mysterious power that controls destiny, right?
