Chapter 340 The Fatal Bullet

Before Yan Min received the ball, everyone noticed that he was running towards the football, but many people felt that the ball was difficult to catch because Zhou Yi's pass was too big.

The Chinese team players in front of the TV couldn't help but cheer for Yan Min.

"Come on! Yan Min! Come on!!"

"Go ahead! You can do it! You can catch it!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!!"

"Come on, run!"

The team's head coach Lippi and his coaching team were sitting at the back of the entire conference room. How could they not understand what this meant when they saw this scene.

A smile appeared on Lippi's face.

This subliminal detail illustrates the unity within this team.

He lowered his head and said to his Italian assistant: "I must thank Gao. Although there was a lot of criticism of him from the outside world, he left us the most precious asset - a united collective."

His assistant nodded: "Yes, we are united like a family. Yan Min is a complete newcomer in this national team, and he has such popularity..."

Amid the cheers of his national team teammates, Yan Min pushed his speed to the limit, then he almost threw his entire body weight out and kicked the football in the air.

If he fails to touch the ball, Dortmund will not only lose an excellent counterattack opportunity, but also alert the enemy, and then there may not be a better counterattack opportunity than this.

For Dortmund, today's counterattack opportunities are simply more precious than gold.

So this is a counterattack that is not allowed to fail at all. He must catch the ball, and he must catch the ball well. If he touches the football but kicks the football to the bottom line, what is the difference between not catching the ball and not catching the ball?

The inside of his left foot hit the football, or the football hit the inside of his outstretched left foot hard, and then bounced back into the court. He succeeded!

He caught the ball!

However, because he used too much force when stopping the ball, coupled with the impact of the football on him, Yan Min's center of gravity was unstable and he staggered a little when he landed.

If you fall to the ground here, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Yan Min lowered his head and gritted his teeth. He supported his forward body with both hands. At the same time, he stepped hard on the turf with his feet. The spikes dug in hard and finally he did not slip directly to the ground.

He stabilized his center of gravity, then raised his body and caught up with the football!

"Yan Min!! He didn't let the football go out of bounds! Great opportunity for Dortmund to counterattack!!" Marcel Leif roared excitedly.

The cheers of the Dortmund fans in the stands became even louder.

After Yan Min adjusted his focus and pace, he caught up with the football. Real Madrid center back Varane had already pounced on him.

Faced with his interception, Yan Min jerked the football forward without thinking, then accelerated forward to chase the ball.

However, in this regard, Yan Min seems to have completely underestimated Varane's speed.

Even though Varane, a young French central defender, is over 1.9 meters tall, his speed is not weak and can even be considered fast.

Seeing Yan Min trying to overtake the ball, he immediately turned around, threw away his long legs, and chased the football with meteoric strides, trying to break it off before Yan Min did.

When Ancelotti saw this scene, he relaxed slightly after being quite nervous before.

Facing Varane, the opponent's player with the ball chose to rely on speed to force a breakthrough... He really picked the wrong opponent to fight for speed.

If it was Ramos who was standing in front of him at this time, he might be able to get rid of him with his speed.

But now...

Varane has the advantage of long legs. As long as the distance is about the same, even if he does not surpass Yan Min, he can come first from behind and poke the football away from behind with just the advantage of one long leg.

This is exactly what he planned to do. Although he was temporarily behind, he already planned to use his long leg advantage to force the tackle.

He was confident that he could scoop up the football before the Chinese boy did.

He took one last step, then pushed out hard, slid his body out, and swung his right foot towards the football.

But just when he was about to scoop the football, something unexpected happened!

Yan Min swung out his right foot and knocked the football behind his body with his heel! He didn't continue to make breakthroughs, but came to an emergency stop!

Varane scooped up...

But he didn't believe that Yan Min could complete this sudden stop and turn at such a fast speed without losing his balance... Although he didn't scoop the ball, the Chinese boy definitely couldn't get it! If he had to forcefully change direction and turn around, he would most likely slip to the ground like himself. Even if he is lucky enough not to slip, he will lose a lot of time, allowing his teammates to steal the ball.

Varane lay on the ground and turned to look at Yan Min.

When he saw Yan Min stop suddenly, his whole body seemed to freeze for a moment and fell into a brief stiffness. His supporting foot and left leg stepped deeply into the turf and slid forward a short distance. They were all turned over, as if plowing the ground... His thigh muscles swelled, and the muscles were clearly defined - he was using his whole body's strength to fight against inertia!

The whole body's stiffness didn't last long, maybe a second, maybe a second and a half, maybe not even a second, Yan Min's whole body was shot out like a cannonball!

The grass clippings left behind almost blinded Varane...

But he forgot to close his eyes, because his wide eyes were like an open mouth that couldn't be closed. He watched in surprise as Yan Min pounced back with incredible swiftness, and then grabbed the chance of Real Madrid player Di Maria returning to defense and dunked the football towards the center with the inside of his right foot, barely avoiding Di Maria. Maria's interception.

At the same time, he once again made an incredible change of direction, cutting inside and turning to the middle!

Two consecutive disguises, one a 180-degree "hairpin turn" and the other a 90-degree right-angle turn, he was able to do so quickly, as if inertia did not exist.

"Academic master" Varane suddenly began to doubt his knowledge of physics...

※※※

"Good shot! Change direction and accelerate! Well done Yan Min!" He Ping, who was in the commentary box, slapped the table and shouted.

Yan Min, who had dunked Di Maria, took advantage of the situation to complete the change and cut inside. He had already reached the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid. Because of his appearance, Real Madrid's defense was in chaos...

Since Varane was easily passed and Di Maria failed to stop him, Khedira and Ramos would naturally rush to make up the defense.

Yan Min, who was dribbling the ball to kill Real Madrid's defense, did not continue to show off his dribbling skills at this time. Instead, he looked up and pushed the football sideways. The football passed between Ramos and Khedira. The time passed by.

The two of them did not expect that Yan Min, who had just entered the tiger's den alone, passed the ball so simply this time. They were caught off guard and no one could touch the ball...

They could only watch as the football was passed towards the center.

There, Gabon forward Aubameyang, who was equally fast, caught up with Yan Min and the football passed by Yan Min.

As he received the ball, Casillas gave up the ball.

At this time, there are no Real Madrid defensive players except him in the penalty area. How can he block the angle if he doesn't attack?

Aubameyang lowered his head to adjust the football and seemed not to see Casillas' attack at all.

Dortmund fans' hearts were in their throats.

This is when the two sides are racing against time. If Casillas jumps in front of Aubameyang first, then Aubameyang will have no shooting angle.

And if Aubameyang shoots first, Casillas may not be able to block the ball...

In the end, Aubameyang outran Casillas. Before he could adjust his center of gravity, he relied on his instinct as a French silver boot to kick the football towards the goal!

Casillas quickly fell to the ground to save, but this time it was different from the time he saved Robben in the South Africa World Cup final four years ago. After all, he was four years older...he failed to touch the football!

The football easily crossed his defense zone. The bullet fired by Zhou Yi flew over half the distance of the field, accurately hit the target, penetrated Casillas' body, and flew into the goal behind him!

"Aubameyang——!!! He helped Dortmund equalize the score! 1:1!!"

"A classic defensive counterattack like a textbook! Who said that only Real Madrid can launch a fatal counterattack? Dortmund's quick counterattack is no less impressive!"

"Dortmund taught Real Madrid a lesson the best way! Now the two sides are back on the same starting line! The suspense of this game is not over yet! What a wonderful Champions League final! I found that as long as it is a Champions League final in which Dortmund participates, He can always provide us with unique and exciting classic battles!”

The commentators in the commentary box collectively climaxed...
