Chapter 159 The Intimidated Inter Milan

After Mark catches the ball, he moves the football forward.

Lucio slammed on the brakes, turned around and rushed back, but he was already slow.

Mark was decisive, left him behind, and rushed towards Inter Milan's goal alone.

"Mark Wagner! Great opportunity—!" Marcel shouted excitedly, raising his voice.

"Mark! Mark!" Mrs. Wagner cried in front of the TV, and she was about to throw herself on the TV screen.

Cortana, who was forcibly called home by her mother to watch the match, also clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.

※※※

Just brought to the top of the free throw arc, Cesar has already rushed to the penalty spot. The distance between the two sides is very close, and it is rapidly shortening.

At this time, Mark didn't hesitate and shot directly!

The inner instep of the right foot made an arc and circled towards the far post.

Although Cesar made a save and also touched the football. But it was so far away that he just rubbed his fingertips and didn't really change the direction of the football.

The strong rotation of the football is still flying forward according to the trajectory set by Mark.

After drawing an arc, the ball hits the...inside of the far post and lands in the goal line!

The ball went in!

Fly into Inter Milan's goal for the third time!

"Ahhhhhh!" Marcel Leff exclaimed, "Unbelievable! In the 89th minute, Dortmund scored another goal at the last moment!! 3:4! They went from being four goals behind to recovering Three goals, only half the game time!"

"Mark Wagner scored twice! Well done! It's a pity that there is not much time left for Dortmund. If it is not for one person missing, I think Dortmund can completely tie this game..." He Ping was cheering I also feel sorry for Dortmund.

※※※

There was an awkward silence at San Siro when the football flew into the goal.

They really didn't expect that their team was leading by four goals, but in the end they were only one goal away from being chased by others.

Is this how the defending champion should behave?

What a shame!

We have one more person than them!

In the silence, Mark, who scored the goal, turned around and wanted to run to celebrate his twice, but he saw Zhou Yi waving to himself. While yelling, "Go get the ball back, Mark! We've got a little time!"

Zhou Yi woke up Mark—yes, we are still one goal away!

So he turned around again and ran back to Inter Milan's penalty area. Drive all the way to the goal, pick up the football, turn around and run to the center circle.

The other players who wanted to come up to celebrate the goal were stopped by Zhou Yi: "We are only one goal away, and the game is not over yet!"

The implication is... we want to equalize!

Everyone froze for a moment, but also reacted. They didn't feel that Zhou Yi was whimsical - since we all chased from 0:4 to 3:4, then scoring another goal, how could it be whimsical? Isn't that normal?

Now the team morale is high,

What is impossible?

do it!

※※※

Seeing Mark running back with the football in his arms, the commentators discovered Dortmund's ambitions.

"They want to score again?"

"It's eighty-nine minutes now... It's about to enter injury time, how much time can there be in injury time? The second half is actually quite smooth, at most four minutes...Four minutes are still Can we score another goal?"

"Now Dortmund just scored a goal, morale is high, it really looks unstoppable. But Inter Milan must also be fools, they are only one goal ahead now. Don't you recover the defense? Now on the pitch, Inter Milan has six defenders , the penalty area is almost too much to stand, as long as they shrink their defense, there will be no room for Dortmund. It is not easy to score again... Dortmund's previous goals were all based on counterattacks, and none of them scored in real positional battles , isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

※※※

Klopp couldn't hear the voices of the commentators. After Mark's goal, he jumped from the ground excitedly.

This ball proved his decision was right. As long as Zhou Yi stays on the court, everything is possible!

Four minutes to go... Maybe it really isn't impossible!

※※※

Mark quickly ran back to the middle circle, then put the football in the middle circle, and then exited the middle circle.

The Inter Milan players only reacted at this time.

They looked at each other. 4:0 leading the opponent seems to be just a second ago, I didn't expect to be chased by the opponent by only one point in the blink of an eye...

This feeling is so wonderful, there is a sense of unreality, as if they are dreaming.

Benitez was on the sidelines, his blushing face was now livid.

If the team can abide by its own adjustments, how can it come to this point?

It would have been a two-goal lead. Now it has become a one-goal lead, and the air suddenly becomes tense.

I replaced two guards one after another, but they all turned a blind eye to the signal I released... It's all right now, have you been taught a lesson?

But Benitez is not happy at all.

Because if you can't win this game, it won't do you any good!

He now hopes that Mark's ball can completely wake up Inter Milan's players and let them recover the defense honestly in the last few minutes. No matter what, let's hold this point lead first!

In fact, the Inter Milan players are indeed intimidated by Dortmund's momentum now.

Before, they thought about using goals to teach Dortmund a lesson, but now they don't think so. They realized that if they continue to play like this, it is not impossible for the opponent to score another goal before the end of the game...

Dortmund is obviously red-eyed, and the Inter Milan players have to put away their previous contempt at this time and take this game seriously.

So after the game restarted, Inter Milan kicked off but did not rush to launch an attack, but kept falling in the backcourt, hoping to delay the game a little longer.

Ninety minutes of game time came to an end in their inversion.

The fourth official held up the stoppage time sign on the sidelines, and as expected, it was four minutes!

"Four minutes of stoppage time... If Dortmund are going to equalize, they have four minutes left... It's hard, although Dortmund have done a good job. But I will say it's hard ’” said Marcel Leff. "Now that the ball is still in the hands of Inter Milan, Dortmund first have to regain possession and then attack, and they may not have too many attempts. They have to do it in the shortest time and the fewest number of attempts. Finding a way to score against an Inter goal in the middle of the pitch, it's so difficult!"

Facing Inter Milan's downfall in the backcourt, Dortmund almost overwhelmed the entire line, frantically besieging Inter Milan. It's really hard to believe they've lost a man from eleven minutes into the game, seeing that run. It took 80 minutes to run with ten people.

But this is exactly what Dortmund can do, because Klopp is a coach who attaches great importance to physical fitness and running ability. In the past two years of pre-season training for Dortmund, physical training is the top priority. The players of Dortmund are in hell. The running ability has been improved somewhat during training, so they can run tirelessly from the beginning to the end of the game.

And because of this, at this moment, they still have the energy to entangle and fight with Inter Milan in every corner of the stadium, in order to grab that football.

※※※

Dortmund's desperate style of play left a lot of space behind them, and Inter Milan naturally saw it. As long as they can send the football up, they can play a very threatening counterattack and kill Dortmund.

But this time, Inter Milan seemed very hesitant and did not do so.

Because they are worried that after they go up, they will be hit by a counterattack after the opponent takes possession of the ball.

The time for the third conceded goal is not far from now, which is still fresh in everyone's memory.

Inter Milan was not in a hurry anymore, they just fell back in the backcourt, and then attracted Dortmund's players to rush up, and gradually improved their formation.

Time flies by like this, in the blink of an eye. The four minutes of stoppage time came to two and a half minutes, and it was only one and a half minutes before the end.

Maybe it's that time is running out, or maybe it's that this counterattack will definitely score a goal and kill Dortmund.

Anyway. At this point Inter Milan ended their boring kicks and passed the football forward.

When "Cheetah" Eto'o caught up with the football, he was actually the only Inter Milan player in the frontcourt, and everyone else stayed in the backcourt. This is also for safety reasons, so as not to be hit by Dortmund again.

Anyway, it would be great if the ball could be scored, but it doesn't matter if it can't be scored. Time is running out for Dortmund.

Eto'o took the ball and rushed towards Dortmund's penalty area, attracting Dortmund defenders to rush to intercept him.

Because there was only one person and no support, Eto'o's physical fitness also dropped significantly, so Eto'o finally lost the ball in the pinch of Dortmund's three defenders.

Afterwards, Hummels quickly passed the football to Sven Bender——Zhou Yi didn't return to the defense in the frontcourt, and he was probably too tired.

"Dortmund passed the football forward, but they didn't choose to use big feet, but still used the ground pass method... There is not much time left for Dortmund, hurry up!" He Ping said anxiously.

After Sven Bender took the ball, he was not too far away from Zhou Yi. He moved forward and passed the football to Zhou Yi.

This time, Inter Milan was very strict with Zhou Yi, and Zanetti posted it immediately to prevent Zhou Yi from turning around with the ball.

Zhou Yi held the ball, pouted his butt, and pushed Zanetti behind him.

Zanetti wanted to steal the ball, but he couldn't reach the football. He stretched out his foot and was afraid of fouling. He gave Dortmund a chance to set the ball. At that time, central defenders with excellent headers such as Hummels and Subotic swarmed. Rushed to the door, the pressure was too much...

So he didn't foul.

Zhou Yi waited for a while.

Mark ran over.

Seeing Mark who came up to meet him, Zhou Yi passed the football to him. Then he turned and ran forward, not too fast, but Zanetti still followed him.

Mark did not pass the football back to Zhou Yi, but passed the football diagonally to the withdrawn Lewandowski.

After Lewandowski retreated, Inter Milan's central defender Lucio also came up behind him to prevent him from turning around easily.

After he came up, Samuel, who was originally on the rib, also moved closer to the center to make up for it-Cordoba was defending Gotze on the other side of the rib.

But in this way, the distance between him and full-back Maicon has been widened.

This gap was seen by Zhou Yi.

He sped up towards Lewandowski to meet the Polish striker who couldn't turn.

Of course, Zanetti still followed him.

When Lewandowski saw Zhou Yi running up, he couldn't turn around, so he simply passed the football to Zhou Yi, and then turned around and ran in.

Zhou Yi didn't stop the ball, but faced the ball from Lewandowski and raised his right foot. It seemed that he wanted to cooperate with Lewandowski to hit the wall with a two-and-one, but in fact he But with the straight outer instep of the right foot, the football was cut off to the right!

The football sprinted forward against the turf, drew a not-so-obvious arc, just passed through the gap between Samuel and Maicon, and went straight to the back of Inter Milan's defense!

"Zhou Yi! His pass penetrated Inter Milan's defense again!" He Ping exclaimed. (To be continued.)
