Chapter 179 There Is Not Much Time Left for Dortmund
When Zhou Yi kicked off, the football flew straight to the baseline. Sun Pan didn't pounce immediately when he saw this. What he was thinking was that Zhou Yi's hasty kick would most likely miss. He was not alone. In fact, many people had this idea after Zhou Yi kicked the football out.
But when the football flew into the penalty area, Sun Pan suddenly realized that something was wrong. The football's rotation was very violent. This made Sun Pan realize that Zhou Yi's kick was not a simple miss, so he quickly took a step sideways and flew into the air. Get up and stretch your arms to save.
Unfortunately he was already too late.
Although it was only a fingernail's delay, it was still too late.
He failed to touch the football.
Sun Pan, who fell from the air, still turned to look at the football. He clearly saw the football flying into the goal he was guarding...
Hold!
After landing, Sun Pan punched the ground hard and lay on his stomach without getting up.
This was an impeccable kick in the world, but he still felt unhappy about his carelessness in underestimating his opponent.

"Holy shit!" Guo Nu exclaimed in the group.
"This ball!" Yang Muge was also very excited. "World wave! World wave!"
"No one can save this ball..." He Ying said.
"Zhou Yi's goal must have been concealed, right? It's fine, as long as it can be scored!" Guo Nu said.
But Yang Muge said: "But even if this goal is scored, Dortmund is only 2:2, and Atletico Madrid still has two away goals, they still can't escape the fate of being eliminated..."
"It's hard to say. Maybe we will score another goal in a short time?" Guo Nu was on Zhou Yi's side.
"The probability is too small and impossible. And Atletico Madrid will definitely put a bus in front of the goal in the last few minutes." He Ying also believes that it is impossible for Dortmund to eliminate Atletico Madrid.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi——!!!" Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice as the football flew into the goal. "Incredible goal! Amazing! So amazing! Zhou Yi helped Dortmund equalize the score!!"
"Zhouyi's world wave! Ahhhhh!!" He Ping was also very excited.
"Perfect! A heaven-defying arc! It's like a rainbow crossing over the Westfield Stadium! It's breathtakingly beautiful!"
After being lost for a second, the Spanish commentator was busy comforting the Atletico Madrid fans: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! No matter how beautiful this goal is, it can't change Dortmund's fate of being eliminated! Even if the total score is tied now, Atletico Madrid will still have to Two more away goals than Dortmund! Dortmund will still be eliminated with the advantage of away goals! This is just Dortmund's death struggle!"
※※※
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi also knew this, so even though he scored a very, very beautiful world wave, he had no intention of celebrating. Instead, he called on his teammates to quickly take the football and kick off.
When the football flew into the goal, Lewandowski raised his arms and cheered for the goal, while Royce ducked into the goal, then picked up the football, turned around and ran towards the center circle.
The score is tied, and now Dortmund only needs to score one more goal to eliminate Atletico Madrid.
Although there is not much time left for them, there is not much hope of scoring another goal, but just like before Zhou Yi scored, who thought they had great hope of equalizing the score?
Nothing in this world is 100% successful. If you don't try, you will never succeed.
In addition, Zhou Yi's goal was so beautiful, which greatly boosted the morale of the Dortmund players.
There is a fire burning in everyone's heart at this moment, pushing them to run forward without fear, believing that they can do anything.
Royce, who was running back with the football in his arms, met Zhou Yi on the road. He put his arm around Zhou Yi's shoulders and ran back side by side with him.
Zhou Yi used his actual actions to prove to his teammates that the game is not over yet and everything is possible!
※※※
When the Dortmund players ran back, Sun Pan also got up from the ground.
Captain Gabby is slapping his hands to encourage his teammates: "Don't be discouraged! We still have the advantage! There are only three minutes left. If we hold on we will be the winner!"
He turned around and saw that Sun Pan was a little depressed, so he went over and patted Sun Pan on the back: "Cheer up, you are our patron saint!"
Hearing this, Sun Pan was a little moved. He pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "I won't let them score again!!"
Whether it's his bet with Zhou Yi or whether it's about who can advance, he can't let the ball go anymore.
One minute of stoppage time has passed, and there are still three minutes of stoppage time. As long as the Atletico Madrid team works hard and prevents Dortmund from scoring again, they can rely on the away goal advantage to eliminate them.
This is not something too difficult to do.
Sun Pan's missed goal just now can easily be understood as an accident.
Although Zhou Yi's kick to the world was very beautiful, it also contained a strong element of luck. If Zhou Yi had another kick like this, it would be absolutely impossible for him to hit it again.
Dortmund relied on such a lucky kick to equalize the score, which shows that their offense has not improved much. This goal cannot be copied. It will not be so easy to break Atletico Madrid's goal.
※※※
When the game restarted, although Atletico Madrid kicked off, they did not attack with the ball and go deep into Dortmund's heart. Instead, they actively contracted and then passed the football to each other in order to delay a little more time. They didn't just kick out and give up possession of the ball.
Facing Atletico Madrid's backcourt defence, Dortmund pressed forward across the board and launched a crazy press in the frontcourt.
At this time, the running ability training that Klopp has always emphasized has its due role.
At this point in the game, Dortmund players still have plenty of physical energy to support their pressing.
Even the Book of Changes is no exception.
Moreover, Zhou Yi's pressing is more unique. Instead of directly pressing against the Atletico Madrid player holding the ball, he cleverly stands on the passing route between the Atletico Madrid player holding the ball and another Atletico Madrid player, pressing closely. Then he handed it to his teammate, and he waited on the sidelines for the Atletico Madrid player who had the ball to be unable to withstand the pressure and pass the ball over, so that he could steal the ball.
Sure enough, when Raul Garcia got the ball, he was pressed closely by Royce. Raul Garcia could only pass the football. Before he passed the ball, he took a special look and saw the ball. Diagonally in front of him was a player wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey. Although he didn't see clearly who it was, as long as it was an Atletico Madrid jersey, he passed the football.
But the football did not fall to his teammates, but was intercepted by Zhou Yi in the middle.
"Zhou Yi steals the ball!" He Ping shouted excitedly.
After stealing the ball, Zhou Yi didn't let the football stay at his feet for even half a second, and directly passed the football sideways.
After Piszczek received the ball, he passed the ball from the wing. Lewandowski jumped high to header the ball. He hit the football, and the football was heading towards the goal, but Sun Pan held him up. , and then hit the crossbar and the bottom line popped up...
"Sun Pan!!" He Ping exclaimed.
Sun Pan, who landed from the air, climbed up quickly, then clapped his hands hard: "Keep an eye on good people, keep an eye on good people!!"
Next, he started to organize corner kick defense. One person stood at the front post and another at the back post. Others stared at the Dortmund players who came in... Then he saw Zhou Yi waiting outside the penalty area. Zhou Yi was not tall and could easily get caught in a corner kick. Being ignored by the crowd.
Sun Pan thought of Zhou Yi's world-shaking kick just now. This kid wouldn't want to copy it again, would he?
Although he felt that it was impossible for Zhou Yi to successfully copy the kick just now, Sun Pan still felt that it would be very dangerous for Zhou Yi to wander outside the penalty area like this, so he raised his arm high, pointed at Zhou Yi in the distance and shouted: " Be careful with that kid!! Don’t let him get the second spot!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Diego Costa came up and stood next to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.
Dortmund's corner kick did not give Zhou Yi a chance to grab the second spot, because the football was plucked directly from the air by Sun Pan.
Sun Pan could have stood firmly when he landed, but he still leaned forward and fell directly to the ground.
I lay on the ground holding the football for a few seconds, trying every possible way to delay it for a while.
Then Sun Pan stood up and kicked the football into the frontcourt, even though there was no Atletico Madrid player in front of him. But he can only do this. If he throws the ball to his teammates with his hands, he might make another mistake under the pressure of Dortmund. Losing possession of the ball in your own second half is the most fatal.
※※※
The football that Sun Pan drove into the frontcourt was stopped by Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller with his chest. He had almost reached the center circle. Anyway, the Atletico Madrid players were now fully recovered. Even if he abandoned the goal and ran to There is no danger here, and you can prevent your teammates from retreating and wasting time.
Weidenfeller got the ball and passed it to Hummels, but instead of running back to his goal, he stayed outside the penalty area and even wished he could press directly to the center line.
The end of the game is getting closer and closer, and everyone is very anxious. Weidenfeller now has no way to guard the goal with peace of mind. He hopes that he can help his team in the offense.
Dortmund continued to attack in the frontcourt, but they were never able to break through Sun Pan's goal. Sun Pan seemed to move the Great Wall, blocking the goal tightly, making it difficult for anyone to score.
The injury time passed by second by second, from three minutes to two minutes to one minute, the score did not change, as if it had frozen.
Dortmund fans in the stands would glance at the time on the big screen from time to time to see how much time was left for them.
Klopp stood on the sidelines and did not return to the coaching bench. However, he did not yell or dance while standing on the sidelines. He just looked at the court, too nervous to speak.
No one was sitting on the bench or coaching bench anymore. Everyone stood up, rushed to the sidelines, and stared nervously into the court.
At this time, they feel that they are the most powerless, because they can only be spectators and cannot actually help their teammates on the court.
They can only pray to God, Allah, and every god they believe in, hoping that in the end, a miracle will happen to them. (To be continued.)
