Chapter 207 The Second Half Begins

"At the end of the first half, no one was able to score. Overall, Real Madrid had many more chances than Dortmund, but they didn't seize any of them. I don't know if these wasted opportunities will let Real Madrid Regret after the game. If they had seized one of these opportunities, the situation might have been very different..."

The Spanish commentator said with regret.

In the Real Madrid dressing room, Mourinho is cheering for his team. It is a shame not to score in the first half, but now is not the time to discuss how the first half was. The point is to let The players focused on the second half. How to score three goals in the second half was the most important thing.

"...I know that we have experienced a lot of things this season, and these things have created barriers between us. But at this time, I hope that everyone will put all barriers aside and fight for the team logo on your chest. Fight. At this moment, each of you is a warrior! Treat the second half as a war, a war that requires bloodshed and sacrifice to win!"

Ramos stood up from his seat, waved his fist and said to his teammates: "We have to fight to the end, guys! Prove to those who are waiting to see our jokes that Real Madrid will not be defeated!" Let's go out and tell them! Why Real Madrid is the most successful team in the history of the Champions League!"

The atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room quickly became heated, and everyone was cheering.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Dortmund dressing room was relatively calm. Klopp said to the players solemnly: "There are forty-five minutes left in the game. Stability is more important than anything else. Remember, time stands. On our side. Every passing minute and second will make Real Madrid restless. Don't make mistakes yourself, the rest is to wait for the game to end. Patience and stability are better than everything!"

There was no chanting of slogans, and there was no excitement among the crowd. The most significant movement of the players was just a nod.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and played again, and no one made any substitutions.

In the 49th minute, Gotze made a pass from the left, and Lewandowski was unguarded in the penalty area. He shot a dozen meters away from the goal, and the ball went over the crossbar.

Although the ball missed, many Real Madrid fans were scared into a cold sweat. When Lewandowski shot, the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium erupted in exclamations and screams.

"Lewandowski! Almost scored! Real Madrid's defense made another mistake at this time. How could Lewandowski not be guarded?" He Ping said.

Dortmund's offense didn't end there;

Just one minute later, Dortmund had another chance to attack.

Gundogan's sudden interception in the frontcourt caused Modric to lose the ball. After Gundogan poked the ball out, it fell at Zhou Yi's feet.

Zhou Yi didn't hesitate. He turned around while catching the ball and passed the football. As soon as he finished passing the ball, Xavi Alonso bumped into him - if he had been even tenth of a second later, the ball might have been It cannot be transmitted, or it cannot be transmitted well.

And now, the football is accurately delivered to Lewandowski's feet!

Because it was an on-the-spot counterattack after a frontcourt steal, Real Madrid's defense was caught off guard. After receiving the ball, Lewandowski quickly broke into the penalty area from the right and then shot ten meters away from the goal!

"Lewandowski! Dortmund is here again -!"

In the cheers of Marcel Leif, the football flew towards Real Madrid's goal like a shell. Although Diego Lopez made a save, he faced Leif at such a close distance. Wandowski shot such a powerful shot, but his saving action was still a little slow. He failed to save the ball and could only watch the football fly towards the goal behind him...

At that moment, Diego Lopez felt desperate - if the goal was scored, all the efforts would be in vain, and Real Madrid would be like a deflated ball.

Many Real Madrid fans also widened their eyes and watched in horror what happened in front of the Real Madrid goal. Some of them even put their hands on their hearts and prayed silently in their hearts...

God, if you can hear our voices, please send down your holy light to save your lost and desperate people...

The prayers uttered by so many people at the same time seemed to be truly heard by God.

The football that Lewandowski shot hit the crossbar with a clang and then bounced out!

"Ahhhhh!" Marcel Leif screamed. "Beam! Beam ruthlessly rejected Lewandowski!!"

"Oh——!" the Spanish commentator cheered, "It's too dangerous! At the last moment, the crossbar saved Real Madrid! The Bernabeu goal was the twelfth man on the field for Real Madrid at this moment! God is standing today On our side!”

Seeing that such a powerful and heavy shot was blocked by the crossbar, Lewandowski also held his head in his hands in disappointment and frustration.

Zhou Yi, who created the opportunity for Lewandowski, was also helpless and regretful. He spread his hands and patted his hips.

"Just like at the beginning of the first half, Dortmund also had opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal continuously like Real Madrid, but they did not seize it. There were situations where both sides wasted opportunities and I don't know which one will be punished in the final result. On the other hand..." He Ping said.

The game continued, and Lewandowski's crossbar kick was Dortmund's most threatening offensive opportunity.

Subsequently, Real Madrid regained the initiative in the game, while Dortmund, out of considerations of stability, no longer actively attacked in the next game, but recycled defense.

Real Madrid's ball possession rate was as high as 67%.

However, possession of the ball does not equal advantage and victory. If possession of the ball cannot open up the situation, it is of no use.

So Mourinho made substitutions in the 57th minute.

He replaced left back Coentrao with Kaka and replaced Higuain with Benzema.

In this way, Real Madrid only has three defenders in the backcourt, and Mourinho is planning to make a desperate move.

However, this substitution adjustment did not bring immediate results to the team.

It was even exploited once by Dortmund.

Because the substitution adjustments have just been made, the three-back defensive system still needs to adapt, and it is inevitable that there will be insufficient cooperation between the players.

This situation was immediately caught by the keen Zhou Yi.

In the 62nd minute, he and Gotze played a one-two against the wall. Gotze pushed forward from the wing. Zhou Yi quickly gave the football to him. Then Gotze passed the ball from the left side of the penalty area and inserted it into the penalty area. Gundogan appeared in an unguarded space, and this space was caused by the lack of tacit understanding between the players after adjusting to three defenders...

Gundogan caught the ball in the penalty area and kicked the ball less than ten meters away from the goal!

When the football was pushed towards the goal, many Real Madrid fans' hearts went cold. With such a close shot, a goal was almost inevitable!

At this moment, Diego Lopez jumped in and bravely saved the football!

"Diego Lopez!! A world-class save!" the Spanish TV commentator shouted excitedly.

There was also a burst of cheers in the stands at the Bernabeu.

On the sidelines in front of the bench, Casillas also jumped to his feet and applauded Diego Lopez for this incredible save. At this time, it is no longer so important who should be punished and who should be substituted. What is important is that the whole team unites and overcomes difficulties together.

Diego Lopez is the starting goalkeeper, so everyone must support him, respect him and cheer for him. What should we discuss at this time? If Casillas was standing in front of the goal, Real Madrid would not have conceded four goals in the last round. That would be a double insult to Diego Lopez and Casillas.

Although Diego Lopez's save was very exciting, it did not immediately change Real Madrid's passive situation after the substitution.

A minute later, Dortmund made a comeback, and Gotze made a pass from the left. Lewandowski came out from behind Ramos and headed the goal from the line of the small penalty area, but the result was slightly wide...

"Lewandowski, Lewandowski..." Marcel Leif said with emotion. "So many opportunities, even if he seizes any one of them, he will kill the game! But it's a pity... alas!"

"Wasting an opportunity will result in retribution!" He Ping also said.

"Götze was in very good condition today and was very active. He was not affected by the transfer to Bayern Munich at all. He has remained silent after the transfer incident was exposed. But maybe he is answering those questions with his actual actions on the court. Doubt - no matter what the future holds, now he is a Dortmund player and he will try his best for every victory of Dortmund!"

After lamenting Lewandowski's "generosity", Marcel Leif also praised Gotze's performance. Since his agreement with Bayern Munich was exposed, Gotze has almost become synonymous with "Judas", and his public opinion image has also plummeted. He has not heard such praise for a while.
