Chapter 219 Masters Compete with Each Other
After the game restarted, Dortmund still had the upper hand with the momentum after taking the lead. Bayern Munich could only shrink its defense for the time being.
But Dortmund did not score another goal in a short period of time.
Bayern Munich's defense was very well organized during this period. Coupled with Neuer's courage to block, Dortmund's offense failed many times.
Dortmund's continuous attacks on Bayern Munich's goal were fruitless. Instead, Bayern Munich seized the opportunity of Dortmund's attack to counterattack.
In the 23rd minute, Bayern Munich launched an attack. Lahm advanced along the wing, received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and made a cross.
Subotic and Gundogan didn't even take off, they just watched the football fly to the front of the small penalty area, and then Mario Gomez jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal!
"Gomez header -!"
As Marcel Leif shouted, the football flew into the goal against the right post!
"Ah - Bayern Munich equalized!"
The West ** Stadium fell into a very brief silence the moment the football flew into the goal, and then the cheers of Bayern Munich fans and the boos of Dortmund fans burst out together.
"After falling behind for twelve minutes, Bayern Munich equalized the score! This is the strong showdown we want to see!" Marcel Leif said excitedly.
The game only started for 23 minutes, and there were already two goals, one for each side. This kind of duel is indeed worthy of the title of the highest level duel in Germany.
"Gomez! Gomez! Gomez!!" the Munich radio commentator shouted excitedly. "He equalized the score for Bayern Munich! Now the two sides are back on the same starting line! This goal is very crucial. When Dortmund besieged Bayern Munich, it gave Dortmund a blow! The game has returned to suspense!"
The Bayern Munich fans in front of the TV jumped to their feet and cheered.
Although the game had only lasted twenty-three minutes, the tension of the final moments had already spread.
"Bayern Munich performed very tenaciously and they quickly equalized the score. This is not good news for Dortmund. After Gotze came off injured, although they took the lead, they were equalized again. I don't know the impact of Gotze's injury. Will it gradually show up..." Duan Xin said.
His words made many Chinese Dortmund fans and Zhouyi fans in front of the TV very unhappy - crow's mouth!
Fortunately, judging from the close-up shots given by the TV broadcast, it seems that Dortmund's players have not been hit too hard.
At least the Dortmund players who appeared on camera did not show frustrated expressions.
This is normal, just like Bayern Munich did not give up after falling behind. How could Dortmund give up at their home court just after being equalized by their opponents?
※※※
After the game restarted, the two sides exchanged offense and defense, and the scene was relatively balanced. Everyone had a chance. It was difficult to say who defeated the other.
In the 28th minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger sent a through ball to the right, and Lahm made a pass from the right. However, this time it was not a high ball passed to the goal, but a low ball passed to the front point. Gomez received the shot from the front point!
Hummels came up to interfere with him, causing his kick to miss.
"so close!"
Then Dortmund launched an attack. In the 31st minute, Zhou Yi sent a pass from the left side of the frontcourt to the left. Lewandowski pulled the ball to the side and first used a spiking action to shake Van Buyten away. Boateng, who came over from defense, swung his foot as if to shoot. Boateng fell to the ground to tackle, but Lewandowski just gently pulled the football back with his toes, and then shook it away. A defensive player!
"Two people in a row! Beautiful! Lewandowski!!"
Lewandowski, who got away from Van Buyten and Boateng, dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Although the angle was not wide, he still chose to shoot!
Neuer was well prepared for this and had already sealed the angle in advance. He fell to the ground and blocked Lewandowski's shot.
This attack also caused the Dortmund fans in the stands to scream again and again. The cheers rang out and fell down, but in the end they all turned into a sigh.
"Oops! Lewandowski! He lost a great opportunity! All his performances before the shot were perfect, but the angle of the final shot was too small... and was blocked by Neuer Living."
In the 40th minute, Dortmund organized another attack, and Zhou Yi pulled to the left to ask for the ball.
But as soon as he got the ball, he was kicked from behind by Gustavo.
There was a burst of harsh boos at the West** Stadium, and the referee's whistle sounded. Gustavo was sentenced to a foul and Dortmund was given a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.
This free kick was taken by Royce and shot directly, but the football went over the crossbar.
Three minutes later, Robben dribbled the ball along the wing with great momentum. First, he used a change of rhythm to shake Kuba away. Then, facing Zhou Yi who came up to defend, he didn't even raise his head and accelerated the ball directly from the goalkeeper. Zhou Yi rushed past, leaving only Zhou Yi's slightly messy figure...
"Damn, you're bullying someone!" Zhou Yi looked back at Robben's retreating back and couldn't help but muttered.
Seeing Robben connecting with the two Dortmund players at the West End Stadium, boos broke out all over the place.
Amidst the boos, Robben met Sven Bender who came up to intercept him. Facing this defensive midfielder, Robben did not dare to deal with him the same way he dealt with Zhou Yi. He slowed down and then A feint and then a cut inside!
Sven Bender went up to grab the ball, but his speed was a little slower. Instead of knocking the football away from Robben's feet, he knocked Robben to the ground.
Referee Gagelman's whistle sounded, and Robben also earned a free kick for Bayern Munich, and this free kick was in a better position than Royce's previous one.
This is in the middle, thirty meters away from the goal.
"Robben's speed was too fast, and Sven Bender had no choice but to foul..."
Bayern Munich's free kick was taken by Austrian full-back Alaba, but the free kick he kicked, like Royce's before, was also higher than the crossbar.
However, Bayern Munich's offensive did not weaken because of this, and they made a comeback a minute later.
Alaba made a diagonal pass from the left side of the penalty area, and the football was passed to the right side of the top of the penalty area. After Mario Gomez received the ball here, he opened the angle and shot!
"Gomez! Beautiful-"
The football flew against the turf towards Dortmund's goal!
Weidenfeller had already lost his center of gravity when Gomez feinted before. Now facing Gomez's shot, it was difficult for him to make any standard save action. After falling to the ground When he was playing football, he could only try his best to throw his legs out, hoping to hit the football.
This reflex-like action ultimately saved Dortmund's goal.
The football kicked by Gomez concentrated on Weidenfeller's calf, then bounced high and over the crossbar...
"Oops! Gomez missed a great opportunity! Weidenfeller made a great save!"
Seeing that the football he shot was blocked by Weidenfeller with his legs, Gomez held his head in his hands with an expression of disbelief - his previous feint was very beautiful and successful, not only did he get away It hit Subotic in front of him and shook Weidenfeller's center of gravity. He originally thought that this ball was a sure shot.
Unexpectedly, the football was blocked by Weidenfeller with his leg...
This is really bad luck!
"This may be Bayern Munich's best scoring opportunity after equalizing the score! During this period, Bayern Munich's two wingers were in trouble. Dortmund was very difficult to deal with, and there were frequent dangers in the defense... Fortunately, in the first half It's almost over, and Klopp still has time to make adjustments at halftime... He must make adjustments, otherwise if Bayern Munich continues to play like this, I'm afraid the opponent will completely take the initiative in the second half..."
※※※
In the end, no one was able to break the deadlock in the first half. When Gagelman blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was still 1:1.
This result is actually acceptable to Bayern Munich, because as long as they can draw with Dortmund on the road, they will continue to maintain a two-point lead. In the next two rounds of the league, even if they win one and draw one, Dortmund will have two games. A complete victory will rely on the huge goal difference advantage to overtake Dortmund with the same points - as of the end of the last round of the league, Bayern Munich has scored 90 goals in the 31st round of the league and conceded only one goal. It was fourteen goals, and the goal difference was astonishing... seventy-six!
From this data alone, you can see how terrible Bayern Munich is this season.
Of course, it can also be said that Dortmund, which has been only two points away, performed very well.
Because Bayern Munich's results are placed in any league, it is the rhythm of winning the championship in advance.
Barcelona has played two more rounds of La Liga than Bayern Munich, has only one more point than Bayern Munich, and has a goal difference ten points less. Not to mention Real Madrid, which is second in the league. With 74 points, there is only 11 points between them and Barcelona, and they are simply unable to catch up with Barcelona. If Bayern Munich's results are put into La Liga, Real Madrid will be completely unable to do so. threaten them.
The situation in the Premier League is exactly the same as in La Liga. Manchester United, the league leader, has 85 points, leading the second place Manchester City by as many as 11 points, and has already won the championship in advance. But now the Premier League has played thirty-five rounds, and Bayern Munich has only played thirty-one rounds of league games and is almost on the same point as Manchester United. Therefore, they can win the championship in advance if they go to the Premier League with this result.
Only in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich's outstanding performance this season can still leave the league championship question unresolved.
After drawing with Bayern Munich in the away game, Dortmund has been winning consecutively, forcing Bayern Munich to not relax at all. Until now in this marathon, the first place player still has to sprint with all his strength, not daring to slack off at all, just for fear of being pulled down by Dortmund.
Based on Dortmund's results, if they were not in the Bundesliga but in other leagues, I'm afraid the league championship would be certain.
The outstanding performances of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund this season have attracted the attention of many people in the Bundesliga.
