When the football bounced into the goal from under Hildebrand's body, the game reached the second minute of stoppage time, and there were still two minutes left before the end of the game.

Zhou Yi's kick can basically be said to be a decisive blow. He completely shattered Schalke 04's hope of defeating Dortmund at home.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi glanced at the goal and confirmed that the football had flown in. Then he turned around and ran towards the corner flag area with open arms.

He was so excited that he didn't go to Reus, who assisted him, to hug and celebrate - usually in most cases, if he scores a goal, he would go to his teammates who assisted him.

But this time, he didn't do that because he was so excited that he forgot about it.

When he was about to run to the corner flag area, he directly slid to his knees. Such a celebration was rarely seen in Zhou Yi.

This shows how excited and excited he is.

He certainly has reason to be so excited and excited, because this goal not only allowed Dortmund to defeat Schalke 04, the arch-enemy in the Ruhr area derby, but also allowed Dortmund to retain the hope of competing with Bayern Munich for the league championship.

The other Dortmund players were more excited than Zhou Yi. They ran towards Zhou Yi, then pushed Zhou Yi to the ground, then pressed him up, forming a stack of Arhats.

Everyone on Dortmund's bench and coaching bench rushed to Zhou Yi and joined in the crazy celebration.

Marcel Leif was chanting: "Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi -!!! He once again played the key role for Dortmund! The goal at the last moment gave Dortmund the lead - Sorry, I can't say Dortmund It has been won. After all, the game is not over yet, but now there is not much time left before the end of the game. Dortmund has a great chance of defeating Schalke 04! They will continue to maintain the pressure on Bayern Munich in the league standings!"

"Zhou Yi! Hey! Good shot! Good shot!!" Duan Xin in the domestic studio was also very excited. "A buzzer beater! A real buzzer beater! Zhou Yi defeated Schalke 04 with this kick! It's incredible! Ah! Haha! It's incredible! Dortmund was two goals behind at the beginning and has recovered three goals now. , staged a shocking reversal!"

The Schalke 04 fans in the stands were silent. Only a few Dortmund fans were cheering and shouting crazily to vent their emotions. 【】

This time, the Schalke 04 fans didn’t even have the energy to interrupt the Dortmund fans.

The goal conceded at the last moment seemed to drain all the energy from their bodies. Many fans fell down on their chairs in disappointment and covered their faces with their hands.

The Schalke players on the pitch were no better.

Faced with this conceded goal, many people held their heads with their hands and looked blank, unable to believe that they actually conceded the goal at the last moment. Before Zhou Yi scored, there was no sign that Dortmund could score...

Yang Muge stood helplessly in the penalty area with his hands on his hips. He did not stop Zhou Yi. He was the one who lost the ball.

Would it have been better if he had just thrown away all his weight and pressed his body directly against Zhou Yi?

The TV broadcast was replaying Zhou Yi's goal just now. Judging from the replay results, if Zhou Yi's kick was solid and the football did not fly downward, but directly towards the goal, there was a high possibility that it would The flying Hildebrand blocked it with his hands, or shot it directly over the crossbar.

There were three roads, but two of them led to death. Zhou Yi chose the only successful way to survive.

Should we say that he is skilled and calm and made the right choice, or should we say that he was lucky and got it right?

But no matter what, the goal was scored, no matter how it was scored, as long as it could be scored. Many goals in football matches actually involve luck. Some of the goals that have gone down in history in football also have a lot of luck involved. Therefore, even if Zhou Yi was tricked, it would not detract from his glorious performance.

With two minutes left in the game, Zhouyi equalized the score. Dortmund players celebrated wildly until referee Gagelman intervened. They ended their celebration and returned to their own court.

But at this time, another 40 seconds of injury time had passed, leaving Schalke 04 with only more than a minute to equalize the score.

After the Schalke 04 players restarted, Dortmund recovered the entire ball. Even centers like Lewandowski retreated into the penalty area and used his height advantage to assist defense.

Zhou Yi was at the front, but he was also defending from the front, and his shot did not pass the center line.

At the last moment, the Schalke 04 fans in the stands made their voices heard again, cheering for the team. Now their wish to defeat Dortmund at home is unlikely to come true. When the game is destined not to be won, a draw is better than a loss, so if the score can be equalized at the last moment, Schalke 04 is not unacceptable.

Moreover, a draw can widen the distance between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, which makes Dortmund very unhappy.

Looking at it now, if Schalke 04 had such an awareness when Dortmund equalized the score, Zhou Yi's goal might not have happened.

But there are not so many ifs in football matches. If Schalke 04 is not forced into a desperate situation, it will not easily accept a draw.

Schalke 04 pressed forward across the board and came out in full force. Even Yang Muge reached the edge of the penalty area to join the attack.

But facing the united Dortmund, Schalke 04 failed to break through Dortmund's goal until Gagelman blew the final whistle.

"The game is over!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly when Gagelman blew the final whistle. "Dortmund experienced two goals behind in the away game, and finally chased three goals in a row, staged a shocking reversal with a score of 3:2, and obtained a crucial three points! These three points may be related to the final league. The championship belongs! Schalke 04 failed to stop Dortmund's progress, Bayern Munich will continue to have a headache..."

"Zhou Yi! He dominated this game!" Duan Xin said happily when a close-up of Zhou Yi appeared on the TV broadcast. "Two goals and one assist, he is the director who enabled Dortmund to complete this great comeback! Zhou Yi's performance in this game was world-class. We can even say that Zhou Yi is already the top midfielder on the planet. One of them! It’s unimaginable if Dortmund doesn’t have him!”

After the game, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge came together: "I won again, Lao Yang."

"Don't say this in front of me!" Yang Muge was very depressed. His defense against Zhou Yi was actually successful throughout the game, but he only missed the ball three times because he failed to keep an eye on him. He thought that he He is the main culprit for the team losing the game.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Come on, try to qualify for the Champions League next season!"

After patting Yang Muge on the shoulder, Zhou Yi left. He did not exchange jerseys with Yang Muge. He knows that the hatred between the two teams in the Ruhr Derby is deep, especially among the supporters. He swapping jerseys with Schalke 04 players will definitely make Dortmund fans unhappy, and Yang Muge and a Dortmund player Swapping jerseys will definitely make Schalke 04 fans unhappy.

Zhou Yi was not worried about himself, but he was worried that what he did would bring harm to Yang Muge. So he stopped exchanging jerseys with Yang Muge.

Anyway, he doesn’t care very much about Schalke 04 jerseys…

After the game, Zhou Yi was selected as the best player of the game. When being interviewed by reporters, Zhou Yi still had a smile on his face: "I am very happy that we were able to win this game in the end. The process was very difficult. Schalke 04 Our home team performed very well, and their two goals in the first half made it difficult for us. But we still persevered and won. I think the most important meaning of this game may not be that we won another Luxury game. It’s a derby, but we keep the pressure on Bayern Munich.”

A reporter asked whether winning the Ruhr area derby would make the Dortmund team confident in winning the league championship.

Zhou Yi replied: "It's too early to talk about the ownership of the league championship, but at least we still have hope to compete for this championship instead of falling behind early. I think who can win the championship should wait until the championship is actually decided. , if we make random predictions now and the final results are biased, who is responsible?"

He spread his hands.

Dortmund's win in the Ruhr derby was the biggest news in German domestic football the next day.

Bayern Munich fans are probably a more sad and disappointed group of people than Schalke 04 fans.

Now their team is still two points behind Dortmund, and it doesn't feel good to be leading the marathon.

Four days later, Bayern Munich lost 0:2 at home to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. This was somewhat surprising. Fortunately, they defeated Arsenal 3:1 in the first leg away from home. Yes, with the same total score, Bayern Munich had three away goals, one more than Arsenal, which had two away goals. They relied on this one more away goal advantage to eliminate Arsenal.

Schalke 04, who lost the Ruhr area derby, may have spent too much energy in this Ruhr area derby, or maybe it was because their reversal by Dortmund dampened their confidence and fighting spirit. In the Champions League in midweek In the second round of the quarter-finals, they actually lost to Galatasaray 2:3 at home. They were eliminated with a total score of 3:4 and missed the Champions League quarterfinals.

Yang Muge's first trip to the Champions League in his career ended just like that.

This is really a pity, but Yang Muge still had a good attitude when he was interviewed: "After all, it is my first time. I have accumulated experience, broadened my horizons, and know what the Champions League is like. I am already very satisfied." , of course I also hope to be able to participate in the Champions League next season, and next, we have to work hard for this goal."

Yang Muge is right. In fact, being eliminated from the Champions League is not necessarily a bad thing for Schalke 04.

Schalke 04's performance this season is really not stable enough. A large part of the reason for this is that the two-front competition in the domestic league and the Champions League made Schalke 04 players very uncomfortable and also led to the dismissal of head coach Stevens.

Now that they have been eliminated from the Champions League, Schalke 04 can finally focus on the domestic league.

After losing to Dortmund, Schalke 04 fell to ninth in the league. The situation is quite grim and not optimistic. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
