Chapter 288 Injury Time

Because Gundogan fouled the free kick, Barcelona did not make good use of it.

After Xavi's free kick was sent into the penalty area, Subotic pushed it out first. Dortmund was not afraid of Barcelona at all when it came to competing for headers.

Then the game time passed minute by minute, and the score still did not change.

The atmosphere became solemn and tense.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, staring nervously at the court, waving his arms and shouting loudly to the players on the court from time to time. In fact, this kind of command does not have much effect, and the effect of self-psychological comfort may be greater... If the coach does not do this, he will feel that he can't play any role in the crisis, which will make them restless.

Although I am actually very restless now...

The game ended with six minutes of injury time. This decision caused great dissatisfaction with German commentator Marcel Leif, who believed that this was an approach that favored the home team.

He believed that although there was a dispute caused by the penalty call in the second half, it should not be given six minutes of injury time.

When the fourth official held up the sign indicating six minutes of injury time, the Camp Nou went wild. Every Barcelona fan was trying their best to make a sound - when their own players got the ball, they cheered deafeningly. And when the Dortmund players got the ball, there were boos that could almost pierce the eardrums.

The Barcelona players on the field were even more motivated and pressing every step of the way. Dortmund has recovered all lines, and even center Lewandowski has retreated to the line of the penalty area and assumed the defensive task...

Dortmund's penalty area is densely packed with people.

In this noisy environment, Barcelona launched a fierce attack into Dortmund's penalty area, hoping to score the opponent's goal in the final six minutes.

They only need one goal to eliminate their opponents.

Scoring a goal is not a big deal for them in normal times, but now it is extremely difficult.

The Dortmund team must defend this score at all costs.

After Gotze was knocked to the ground, he did not get up from the ground. He rolled on the ground holding his knees.

However, the Barcelona player who successfully intercepted the ball did not take the initiative to kick the football off the field.

Instead, he continues to attack. This move caused dissatisfaction among Dortmund players. While they signaled to the referee, they also had to concentrate on defense to avoid being taken advantage of by Barcelona.

Gotze hadn't gotten up yet, and the referee had no intention of stopping the game.

The ball was passed to Messi's feet.

When Messi took the ball and prepared to break through vertically, he was posted by Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, who was coming up, had no intention of stealing his ball. Instead, he used his hands and feet to pounce directly on Messi.

No matter how light Zhou Yi is, he still weighs more than 100 kilograms. It is so unreservedly pressed on Messi's body. How can the Argentinian, who is not even strong in physique, be able to bear it?

He was pulled to the ground by Zhou Yi and lost possession of the ball.

The game finally had to be interrupted.

The Camp Nou stadium was filled with deafening boos.

Barcelona fans are very dissatisfied with Zhou Yi's foul. This is an intentional foul!

Messi, who was pulled to the ground by Zhou Yi, raised his hands to protest and complain to the referee. The other Barcelona players were also very angry about Zhou Yi's foul. Seeing that Messi was about to break through, Zhou Yi actually committed a direct foul! How shameless! ?

But Dortmund was also dissatisfied. After the referee stopped the game, three Dortmund players rushed up immediately, surrounded the referee, and pointed to the place where Gotze fell to the ground - Gotze hadn't gotten up yet. They believed that their player was injured and fell to the ground, and Barcelona should kick the football out of bounds out of sportsmanship.

Both sides surrounded the referee and argued.

Over there, Gotze had already climbed up from the ground, but he was still limping when walking, which meant that he was really injured and was not pretending just now. But the Barcelona fans didn't care so much. When they saw Gotze getting up from the ground, they decided that he was acting just now, and boos and curses flew towards Gotze.

Buvac also appeared angry off the pitch, complaining to the fourth official about Barcelona's foul.

But this is of no use. Gotze is obviously injured, but he has no substitutions. He can only let Gotze persist on the court. With five minutes left, Dortmund is actually missing one person...

The referee lined up the crowd and walked towards Zhou Yi, holding a yellow card in his hand. This yellow card was obviously prepared for Zhou Yi, but it is normal. Zhou Yi just committed a deliberate tactical foul. It is not unfair to receive a yellow card.

But Zhou Yi didn't get up to collect the cards because he had cramps.

He really tried his best in this game. Since the new season, he has rarely cramped in games due to lack of physical strength. He even cramped this time, which shows how hard he works.

This time, he tried his best to pull down Messi, otherwise he might not be able to pull him down...

The Dortmund players who were still arguing around the referee hurriedly came over to press Zhou Yi's legs.

Barcelona fans who were still booing Gotze before now turned their guns and began to boo Zhou Yi. They thought Zhou Yi was pretending to have cramps, but was actually delaying time.

Amidst the boos, Zhou Yi did not get up immediately. After his teammates pressed his legs, he sat up on his own, stretched his legs again, and shouted in Chinese to the Barcelona players who urged him to get up: "Why are you urging me!" Didn't you see that I was cramping? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

After he finished complaining, he slowly got up from the ground with a speed comparable to that of a sloth.

The referee was standing next to him. He was also stubborn and had to wait for Zhou Yi to stand up before giving him a card. Before Zhou Yi stood up, he kept holding the yellow card but did not give it out.

Zhou Yi finally got up from the ground, and the referee quickly showed the yellow card.

The boos from the Barcelona fans in the stands were a little quieter.

However, due to Zhou Yi's troubles, almost two minutes of six minutes of stoppage time have passed...

In the commentary box, Marcel Leif was criticizing Barcelona's lack of sportsmanship, while goltv's Hodson also criticized Zhou Yi's lack of sportsmanship.

Marcel Leif believed that Barcelona's failure to take the initiative to kick the football out when Gotze was injured for the first time was a sign of lack of sportsmanship. If they took the initiative to kick the football out, how could there possibly be Zhou Yi's subsequent tactical foul? This way Zhou Yi doesn't have to get a yellow card.

Hodson believed that both Gotze and Zhou Yi were suspected of deliberately delaying time. Although they were both injured, they would never be left lying on the court unable to get up.

This is because the butt determines the head, and different positions determine their different interpretations of the same thing.

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, because it has nothing to do with right or wrong, only interests.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Barcelona still failed to score, and even goalkeeper Valdes couldn't help but want to rush forward and participate in the attack.

During this period, there were endless boos in the air at Camp Nou because it was Dortmund who was in possession of the ball.

Zhou Yi suffered from cramps and his running ability dropped significantly, but he could still pass the ball.

He moved within a small area and passed the football around, making it difficult for Barcelona to steal the ball.

In the end, Busquets couldn't bear it anymore, fouled Zhou Yi and knocked Zhou Yi to the ground.

As a result, Zhou Yi lay on the ground again and did not get up - this time another leg had cramps, last time it was the right leg, this time it was the left leg...

No matter how loud the boos in the stands are, it won't help.

If a person is really cramped, he can't be allowed to drag his cramped leg up to buy time for Barcelona, ​​right?

No matter how good sportsmanship is, it is not that good...

The referee gave Zhou Yi a yellow card before because of his tactical foul, not because he was delaying time. Cramps really don't count as delaying time. If you don't have cramps and pretend to have cramps, then it counts...

As a result, even if the Barcelona players surrounded the referee, the referee did not say anything this time.

The last minute of injury time ended with Dortmund teammates pressing Zhou Yi's leg...

※※※

When Zhou Yi stood up again and entered the game, less than a minute later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In fact, before the game was over, Dortmund's players couldn't wait to stand on the sidelines, ready to cheer.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, these people rushed onto the court screaming.

They won!

They eliminated Barcelona!

The Dortmund players on the court also raised their arms and shouted, while the Barcelona players collapsed on the ground. They never expected that the defending champion would be eliminated in the quarterfinals...

"The game is over!!" Marcel Leif raised his arms and shouted. "The game is over!! Dortmund did it! After an unfavorable first leg, they drew with Barcelona in the second leg. With the advantage of more away goals, they eliminated powerful opponents! They broke into the semi-finals! This is A result that no one expected before!"

"Team Cosmos was eliminated and Dortmund won the battle to defend the Earth!" He Ping was also very excited. "Who would have thought that Dortmund could eliminate Barcelona in an away game? The home-then-away schedule was once considered extremely disadvantageous to Dortmund, but now it seems there are no disadvantages, only people who don't want to win! Dortmund never gives up, So they deserve such a result!"

Then he changed the topic and talked about Zhou Yi: "In this amazing game, Zhou Yi played the most important role and was the biggest contributor to Dortmund's advancement to the semi-finals! This game showed us a Zhou Yi who is both offensive and defensive! He You can advance, you can attack, you can retreat, you can defend! That volley has become a classic goal of this Champions League and will remain in our memory for a long time!"

Dortmund's players were celebrating their victory, but Camp Nou, which had been noisy for 97 minutes, suddenly became much quieter. The Barcelona fans in the stands no longer booed, but held their heads in their hands. Looking at the Dortmund players celebrating in the stadium in disbelief. Maybe they forgot to boo the Dortmund players, or maybe they no longer had the energy to boo anymore... (To be continued.)
