Chapter 221 The Real Turning Point

When Lewandowski shot the football out, some anxious Dortmund fans couldn't wait to cheer. In their view, there was no suspense about Lewandowski's kick. It would definitely go in!

But in less than a second, they saw Neuer fall to the ground and throw the football away!

The cheers stopped abruptly.

"Neuer——! Wonderful save! He saved the football!! Oh oh oh oh!!"

Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. He is not a supporter of Bayern Munich. He just feels that Lewandowski's failure to score the goal makes the game more suspenseful and more exciting.

"Lewandowski... Oops! He was kicked out!" Duan Xin sighed. "Neuer performed very well!"

As a player who transferred from the Ruhr area derby rival Schalke 04 to the El Clasico rival Bayern Munich, Neuer must be doubly hated in the hearts of Dortmund fans.

The football thrown out by Neuer spun and flew out of the baseline. After Neuer rolled on the ground, he stood up and waved his fist vigorously, roaring.

His teammates rushed up to hug and high-five him one by one, thanking him for his wonderful save.

When the penalty kick was awarded, many Bayern Munich players were heartbroken. It can be said that Neuer's save kept Bayern Munich's hope of winning the championship and greatly boosted the team's morale. It is no exaggeration to say that he is Bayern Munich's "savior".

Bayern Munich was cheering and celebrating. Lewandowski, who missed the penalty kick, put his head in his hands and looked up to the sky with a sigh, looking annoyed.

The other Dortmund players were in a similar mood.

In one second, they fell from the clouds of happiness to the bottom.

This is not just as simple as missing a penalty kick, but also makes many Dortmund players feel demoralized - if such a good opportunity is not seized, will there be better opportunities in the future?

In any game, missing a penalty kick is a devastating blow to the team's morale, let alone such an important game...

This can be seen from the much silent stands at Westminster Stadium.

※※※

"Holy crap, I didn't even score a penalty kick! God doesn't want Dortmund to win the championship!"

"Is God going to destroy Dot?"

"I think Lewandowski's kick was very beautiful.

Neuer was able to save it, it was so brave! "

"My heart aches for Dortmund for a second..."

On the Chinese Internet, fans also expressed their opinions on Lewandowski's missed penalty kick.

In the eyes of those who support Dortmund and Zhouyi, the missed penalty kick is simply a disaster, and it may herald a not-so-good future...

※※※

The missed penalty kick really affected the mood of the Dortmund players. After the game continued, Dortmund's corner kick did not pose any threat to Bayern Munich's goal. Instead, Bayern Munich's morale was boosted and they took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Dortmund goal. The attack overwhelmed Dortmund.

Dortmund can only defend passively.

Dortmund fans were so nervous that they had a heart attack.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi decided to do something to change the current status quo.

Launch an attack and spread the flames of war into the opponent's half?

This is of course the best way, but it is not easy to achieve it perfectly.

When the possession of the ball fell to Dortmund at the beginning, Zhou Yi also launched a fast break, but the quality was quite poor. The players were affected by missed penalty kicks, were in unstable condition, played too impatiently, and made frequent mistakes. The fast break at this time is just to quickly hand the football to Bayern Munich...

The most realistic approach may be to deliberately slow down the speed and rhythm when the football is at your feet, and use slowness to deal with Bayern Munich's current speed, which is the so-called "softness to overcome strength".

So when the football fell to Zhou Yi's feet, he did not rush to pass the football forward. Instead, he turned around and kicked a cross pass. After passing the ball, he quickly ran to the next spot and raised his head high at the same time. Call: 'Pass the ball to me!'

He was afraid that his teammate would kick the football forward again.

He can understand the thoughts of some of his teammates and want to keep the football as far away from his penalty area as possible, but this is meaningless except giving possession of the ball to the opponent.

It's better to take control of the football at your own feet and stabilize the situation and emotions again.

Sven Bender saw Zhou Yi was so eager to get the ball, so he passed the football to Zhou Yi again.

Zhou Yi tried to catch the ball, but Gustavo rushed up to steal him.

Zhou Yi raised his feet and made a motion to catch the ball, but he did not actually catch the ball. Instead, he let the football roll past him, and then he turned around to chase the ball.

At this time, Gustavo's foot swept over. Originally, Gustavo planned to steal the ball, but the ball was passed by Zhou Yi, and he swept the ball away with this kick... It was not a complete sweep. , because his foot swept Zhou Yi's supporting foot!

Zhou Yi failed to complete his turn and was directly swept to the ground by Gustavo! He spun and fell to the ground, rolled over twice, and covered the heel of his left foot.

Referee Gagelman's whistle sounded amid huge boos.

"Foul! This is a very bad foul by Gustavo!" Duan Xin shouted angrily. The end of the league is getting closer and closer, and the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers are getting closer and closer. At this time, every time Zhou Yi falls to the ground, the Chinese fans will be frightened and worried.

"Zhou Yi was kicked by Khedira in the left ankle in the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid. He was worried at the time, but fortunately it didn't seem to be a big problem and it did not affect his subsequent games. . Now Gustavo hit his left foot again..." Marcel Leif also frowned. With Gotze injured, if Zhou Yi is injured again, Dortmund may collapse, losing not only a league championship, but also the Champions League championship!

※※※

Knowing that he had committed a foul, Gustavo quickly ran to pull Zhou Yi away. On the one hand, he wanted to show friendship, and on the other hand, he wanted to get Zhou Yi to stand up quickly and stop lying on the ground, which would look like he was kicked. Not as light.

Gustavo certainly hopes that by doing this, the referee can consider it appropriately when making penalties.

Gagelman came running over, fumbling in his breast pocket.

It looks like he's about to take out his cards.

This is normal. If this foul is not dealt with, the Dortmund fans will definitely not agree to it.

Gustavo continued to pull Zhou Yi, trying to pull Zhou Yi up.

Sven Bender next to him pushed him away. Zhou Yi was still lying on the ground holding his heels. How could such a thing happen if he was asked to stand up now?

Of course he has to protect his players.

Sven Bender's pushing action aroused emotions on the Bayern Munich players' side, and they quickly surrounded him.

Of course, the Dortmund players could not let their teammates suffer, so they immediately sided with Sven Bender and exchanged blows with the Bayern Munich players.

The referee Gagelman was originally going to take out the card, but when he saw this, he could only blow the whistle repeatedly to signal the players on both sides to calm down.

At the same time, there was no peace in front of the coaching benches of both sides on the sidelines.

Bayern Munich's sporting director Mathias Sammer shouted that Sven Bender was deliberately provocative.

And Klopp stood up and complained for his players: "First look at what your people have done!"

The two men glared at the fourth referee in the middle.

※※※

In the chaos, Zhou Yi stood up from the ground.

He didn't lie on the ground like he did in the last game and waited until the team doctor came.

Because the current situation is different from the one against Real Madrid.

In the last game, what Dortmund needed was to delay time. Of course Zhou Yi could stay on the ground as long as he wanted.

In this game, what Dortmund lacks most is time. He must get up from the ground as soon as possible and race against time.

After getting up, he moved his ankle. It hurt a little, but it was not unbearable.

Gustavo's kick just now was very strong. Fortunately, he didn't shine his spikes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up.

※※※

After struggling to push away the conflicting players, referee Gagelman called Gustavo to his side alone.

Gustavo, who came over, was still babbled in defense of himself: "I was rushing for the ball, but who knew he missed the football..."

Gagelman shook his head, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a... red card!

"Red card! Gustavo was sent off directly!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.

"It's not too much to give a red card for kicking someone in the back!" Duan Xin applauded the referee Gagelman's decision.

There were cheers and applause at the Westfield Stadium. Dortmund fans thought the referee's decision was fair. But if it were at the Allianz Arena, I'm afraid there would be boos everywhere.

In fact, the commentator of Munich Radio felt that Gagelman's penalty was too harsh: "Subjectively, Gustavo definitely did not want to kick Zhou Yi, he just made a mistake in prediction... Giving a yellow card is already very serious." That's too harsh, giving him a red card is too much!"

Gustavo's red card also made the Bayern Munich players more emotional, especially Gustavo himself. When he saw that he had a red card, he immediately changed his face and tried to rush to the referee Gagelman, but he was His teammates stopped him. He shouted at Gagelman through his teammates: "This shouldn't be a red card! Your penalty is too harsh!"

Gagelman did not explain to him, but pointed to the sidelines and motioned for him to get off quickly.

In the end, Gustavo reluctantly left the field after being pushed by his teammates, otherwise he would have wanted to keep playing.

In that case, I'm afraid he will be punished additionally after the game.

※※※

While Sammer and Klopp were confronting each other, Heynckes was thinking about how to play the next game.

Bayern Munich, with one less player, still makes a big fuss on the wing as before to attack Dortmund?

In this case, I'm afraid he will die faster.

Fortunately, the score is now a draw, not behind, so Bayern Munich can choose to recycle its defense and try to defend the draw. In the absence of victory, a draw would also be beneficial to Bayern Munich.

Thinking of this, Heynckes decided to make corresponding adjustments.

When the penalty kick was awarded, many people must have thought that penalty kick would be the turning point of the game.

But now it seems that Gustavo's red card was the real turning point of the game... (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
