Champion’s Heart

Chapter 171 Getting What You Want

? When the football was thrown out by Sun Pan, the Spanish commentator cheered for Sun Pan, while the German commentator regretted that Dortmund missed this opportunity. Only He Ping had the most complicated emotions. While praising Sun Pan, he also Applaud Zhou Yi for his wonderful pass just now.

Although this was not a direct conversation between the two people, it was still exciting. He thought it was the biggest climax of the game so far.

Both Zhou Yi and Sun Pan performed very well, but the better their performance, the more conflicts filled He Ping's heart.

No matter who is eliminated, it is not what he wants to see...

"Holy shit, Sun Pan's goal is awesome!" Guo Nu exclaimed in the group.

"This attack was too decisive. A little hesitation when coming out gave Royce a chance..." Yang Muge analyzed. You want to know where Sun Pan throws the ball? When Sun Pan just entered the penalty area, that is to say, when Sun Pan decided to attack, Royce had not yet entered the penalty area. He attacked and ran very far away. If the opponent moves faster, he can directly attack. Hang the empty door behind him.

But Sun Pan attacked very decisively and swiftly, giving Royce no time to react.

"This is his characteristic, his attack range is large and his movements are flexible and quick." He Ying said. He had just played against Sun Pan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. He had many shots blocked by Sun Pan at both home and away games. Naturally, he had the most say on Sun Pan's strength.

"Zhou Yi is in trouble this time. He meets Sun Pan who is in such good condition..." Yang Muge said. He thought of He Ying's previous fate.

In fact, even if Atletico Madrid fails to win Dortmund at home in this game and goes to the away game, if they insist on getting a draw and drag the game to penalty kicks, it will still be beneficial to Atletico Madrid because they have Sun Pan.

It is not easy for Dortmund to break through the goal of Sun Pan, who is in full form.

After Sun Pan saved Royce's one-on-one goal, the entire Calderon Stadium resounded with cheers for Sun Pan.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Atletico Madrid players resumed their fierce attack on Dortmund's goal.

Sun Pan's save greatly boosted the morale of the players. Atletico Madrid players, who were already anxious about not being able to score a goal, regained their confidence and pressed harder - anyway, there was a man behind them. Sun Pan is here, what else is there to worry about?

Dortmund was affected by Royce's failure to score.

At one point, the scene was a bit chaotic. Zhou Yi had to devote himself to defense and completely ignored organizing a counterattack. When the ball came to his feet, he could only kick it forward with one big foot. As for where the kick went, he didn't care about it at all. I can’t control it anymore.

Fortunately, Dortmund's goalkeeper, Weidenfeller, who was called "no less than Sun Pan" by Zhouyi, performed well and did not allow Atletico Madrid to take the opportunity to score.

It was not until the last moment of the game that Dortmund got another good chance to counterattack.

The person who fought back this time was Lewandowski.

As a result, Lewandowski's shot was blocked by Sun Pan with his foot. Dortmund got a corner kick, and Sun Pan once again saved his team.

For Dortmund, a draw is acceptable, and they don't need to send many people to participate in the corner kick attack. If they don't score, it won't be worthwhile to be counterattacked by the opponent.

Therefore, Dortmund did not invest much force in this corner kick. After Royce and Lewandowski failed to score, Dortmund's expectations of winning this game away from home were reduced to the lowest. It is obvious that Sun Pan is in very good condition. It would be very unwise to fight with Sun Pan now.

So although Dortmund won the corner kick, a very strange scene appeared on the court, that is, the Dortmund who took the corner kick did not have many players at all. Except for Royce who took the corner kick, there were only a few Dortmund players in the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid. Just four.

After Royce's corner kick came out, Lewandowski was unable to head the ball. The football was pushed out by Atletico Madrid defender Godin, and then Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack. However, since Dortmund had already prepared for this and the defense remained intact, Atletico Madrid's counterattack did not pose any threat to Weidenfeller's goal.

In the next game, Atletico Madrid continued to besiege Dortmund's goal. Dortmund would occasionally counterattack when there was a particularly good opportunity, but this kind of counterattack often lacked any threat.

Although Dortmund had no chance to score, they also successfully prevented Atletico Madrid's crazy attack in the last minute.

Until the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was finally fixed at 0:0.

"Ah... the game is over, the whole game is over. Dortmund tied Atletico Madrid 0:0 in the away game. This is not a good result for Atletico Madrid. They lost the opportunity to gain an advantage at their home court. And Dortmund got what they wanted and got a draw..." When He Ping said this, his tone was relatively calm, because for him, no matter who wins, it is not a pleasant thing.

So actually a draw is the best result.

And it was a 0:0 draw without scoring, which was a good result for Sun Pan.

Unlike He Ping, a neutral faction, the commentators in Germany and Spain have completely different attitudes.

The commentator on Spanish TV was very regretful: "The game is over! Atletico Madrid did not win the game at home. This result is definitely not what Simeone wanted. Although they tried their best in the game, they were unable to break Dortmund's goal. Before this game, Dortmund's core player Zhou Yi once said that their goal was a draw. Now it seems that they have succeeded... Dortmund really came for a draw... They failed to win this game at home. It’s really too bad…”

German commentator Marcel Leif was very satisfied with the result: "The Dortmund players can leave Madrid as they wish. Although this draw is not as good as the victory, it is the best result that can be accepted. Their only What I feel regretful about is that Royce didn’t score in that single shot... But it doesn’t matter, in the next round, when we return to our home court, Dortmund will show their strong offensive side!”

Zhou Yi talked about Sun Pan's performance in an interview after the game: "His performance was great. He also fulfilled his promise and did not let us score. I think the best player in this game should be awarded to him. .”

When he said this, Zhou Yi kept smiling. That faint smile coupled with his words made it easy for people to understand that he was mocking Sun Pan.

So what does Sun Pan think of this game?

Sun Pan didn't talk about this game at all, but began to look forward to the next round: "In the next round, we will play away from home. As long as we can score, it will be an away goal, so I think we still have the advantage."

After the game, some German media commented that Sun Pan was really tough and tough-talking, even though he had come to this point, he still thought he had the advantage. Obviously the whole world can see that the 0:0 result of this game gave Dortmund the upper hand and gained the advantage. Sun Pan wants to say that it is their advantage. What else can he say besides saying that he is "a stubborn duck"? Woolen cloth?

The Chinese media's position is not as strong as that of the German and Spanish media. After all, there are Chinese players on both sides. After the game, some Chinese media believed that if it were just a duel between Zhou Yi and Sun Pan, then the obvious winner would indeed be Sun Pan. Because Sun Pan said before the game that he would not let Dortmund score a goal, he really did not let Dortmund score a goal.

What did Zhou Yi say? If you don’t allow one goal to be scored, then let’s score two or three goals.

But Dortmund failed to score even a single goal in the game, so he lost this duel.

It's just that this kind of analysis is meaningless and no one cares.

Everyone knows that a football match is not an individual event, but a team event, and the individual player's victory or defeat is not important.

When the team wins, it truly wins. If the team doesn't win, no matter how good your personal performance is, you can only be eliminated.

Because in the first round, the two sides fought to a 0:0 scoreless tie, the two-round game suddenly became a single elimination system.

The second round is not only important, but also suspenseful.

Everyone is waiting to see what kind of performance Dortmund will perform when they return to their home court. Will they be able to break through the goal guarded by Sun Pan?

In two consecutive Champions League knockout games, Sun Pan has zero opponents. It can be seen that his condition is extremely good.

If Dortmund wants to eliminate Atletico Madrid at home, they must first defeat Sun Pan.

Paris Saint-Germain have proven that's not an easy task, can Dortmund do it? (To be continued.)
