Chapter 249 Robben’s Redemption
The first half of overtime was basically Bayern Munich besieging Dortmund. Dortmund didn't even have a shot, they could only parry and had no power to fight back.
In such a situation, it is natural to worry that they will concede the ball.
Especially Dortmund's own fans, watching their team being beaten on the head by their opponents, are worried that the goal will be conceded at any time.
If the goal is conceded in overtime, it's all over...
All the Dortmund fans in the stands were silent, their hearts beating very fast.
Bayern Munich fans who were also in the stands raised their arms and kept singing and cheering to cheer for their team.
The 104th minute of the game, only one minute away from the end of the first half.
Dortmund fans can feel a little relieved - the first half of this fatal overtime is about to end, and the second half is Dortmund's world!
After a break, Dortmund will bombard Bayern Munich in the second half. As long as we can score a goal, the opponent will completely collapse!
Bayern Munich won a free kick in the backcourt, and all the players rushed to the front. Obviously they also knew that their chances may not be many.
Boateng came to take the free kick, and he kicked the football towards the frontcourt with a big kick.
The football flew high in the air and headed straight into Dortmund's penalty area.
The person at the front is not the substituted center Mario Gomez, but Ribery.
When the football fell from the air, he stopped it firmly at his feet, but he still could not turn around and get rid of Piszczek's defense.
Seeing Ribery stopping the ball, Robben, who had been running forward, suddenly accelerated towards Dortmund's penalty area.
And Ribery also noticed Robben's acceleration. Since he couldn't turn around, why not pass the football to Robben? To threaten Dortmund's goal, you don't have to turn around yourself, as long as someone can threaten it!
Thinking of this, Ribery used the sole of his foot to gently push the football behind him - he was afraid that if he pushed the ball too far, Robben would not be able to catch up with the ball, so Weidenfeller would destroy it. But if you turn it down, it will still be destroyed by the opponent's defender.
This is really a very difficult thing to handle.
It seems very simple to dial the ball, but it hides a mystery.
Ribery was actually a little lighter this time. When he saw the football rolling behind him, Piszczek gave up on Ribery and turned around to pounce back.
Hummels on both sides of him was faster than him. He had already reached behind him and shoveled the football with one kick!
At this time, Robben's explosive power was at its peak. He suddenly accelerated again while sprinting at high speed, and kicked the football away first.
When Hummels shoveled over, he didn't touch anything!
He didn't even touch Robben's legs. If he wanted to foul, Robben didn't give him such a chance!
"Arjen Robben - ahhhhhhh!!!" Marcel Leif screamed.
When Robben took the kick, he wasn't the kind of guy who just moved forward casually to avoid Hummels. If he wants to create a penalty kick, he can do this. After hitting the ball, he will definitely not be able to catch up. Then he can drag his leg behind and hang it on Hummels' leg. He screamed and fell to the ground... If he did this, the penalty kick would be guaranteed.
This is the surest way to score a goal.
But Robben didn't do that. He didn't seem to think about the penalty kick at all. He just gently moved the football forward, not far away from him, and just enough to avoid Hummels' tackle. .
Then he stepped over the leg tackled by Hummels and caught up with the football in one stride!
He was already facing the attacking Weidenfeller alone. This was a single attack!
Everyone's breath was held as they watched what was happening near the penalty spot inside the Dortmund penalty area.
Weidenfeller once again struck out in time. He has played the role of Dortmund's savior countless times in this game, and this time, all the hopes of Dortmund fans can only be pinned on him!
He blocks the near corner, and if Robben wants to shoot, he can block the angle to the maximum extent. And if he doesn't shoot immediately, with a little hesitation, he can force Robben to the baseline with the ball, compressing Robben's shooting and dribbling space, and minimizing his threat.
Robben, who caught up with the ball, did take a slight step diagonally forward. It seemed that Weidenfeller's defensive strategy was successful.
But at this moment, Robben started!
His left foot kicked the football in the opposite direction!
The swing of the kick was not large, there was almost no warning, and it was very sudden, so the force of the kick was not very strong. Logically speaking, this was a failed shot. How could such a weak shot pose a threat?
But Robben's kick was wonderful. The wonderful thing was that the direction of his shot was the opposite direction of his own movement and the opposite direction of Weidenfeller's key defense.
The football stuck to the turf and rolled from Weidenfeller's side to his back. Because it was so sudden, Weidenfeller could not react at all. He could only make a "death struggle" with his legs trailing behind, but It was just a symbolic struggle. In fact, it was impossible to touch the football at all.
The ball was not fast and rolled past Weidenfeller towards the goal behind him.
Due to inertia, Weidenfeller's entire body was in a "stiff" state at this time. If he wanted to turn around and pounce again, his brain would be fine, but his body would not obey the command.
So in a somewhat weird scene, the football slowly but surely rolled into Dortmund's goal...

"Kick! Robben's kick!!" Marcel Leif shouted. "This goal is really beautiful!! It's a light shot. Although it has no power, the effect is unexpectedly good! Ahhhh! Robben! He completed his self-redemption!! In the 115th minute of the game, At that time, he regained the lead for Bayern Munich! This was a fatal blow to Dortmund!"
After scoring the goal, Robben was very excited. He opened his arms, accelerated towards the sideline, then slid to his knees, and then took advantage of the inertia to stand up, right in front of the sideline, waving his fist to the Bayern Munich fans in the stands.
Other teammates also ran up to celebrate the goal with Robben.
Throughout Wembley Stadium, Bayern Munich fans burst into cheers and applause.
Although there are still fifteen minutes left in the game, all Bayern Munich fans want to take a reassurance and feel that the victory of this game is safe, very safe.
Dortmund suffered this blow and their morale was seriously low. How could they possibly compete with Bayern Munich, who had high morale?
What awaits them next is a big collapse!
The Dortmund fans in the stands held their heads in their hands or covered their faces, looking very frustrated and in pain.
Conceding the goal in overtime can be the straw that breaks the camel's back...
He Ping in the commentary box felt a huge sense of loss, but he still had to work hard to continue explaining: "At the end of the first half of overtime, Dortmund was breached by Bayern Munich. Robben... this one before In several finals, the player who repeatedly missed single-handed ball opportunities and was nicknamed the "soft-footed shrimp" proved himself at this moment... This was a solo ride that combined speed and wisdom, and he relied on speed to get through. Hummels, and when facing Weidenfeller, he very smartly chose a clever shot instead of rounding back and volleying hard - in that case, this shot was very likely Weidenfeller once again achieved success..."
During the explanation process, He Ping wanted to sigh.
Robben completed his self-salvation and performed perfectly in this attack, but this also means that Zhou Yi is getting further and further away from his goal of winning the Champions League.
As a Chinese commentator, of course I don’t want to see my compatriots return home with regrets.

While the Bayern Munich players celebrated their goal wildly, the Dortmund players were all stunned.
They never did this when Bayern Munich defeated them first in regular time. At that time, they thought to themselves that I had never seen big winds and waves, so why was it just a one-goal deficit?
Sure enough, six minutes later, Zhou Yi helped Dortmund equalize the score, proving that Dortmund is not at a disadvantage when facing Bayern Munich.
But the meaning of conceding the ball now is different.
This was overtime, and the team conceded a goal after working hard for 115 minutes. Everyone had very little physical energy left, and this conceded goal seemed to drain all their energy away in an instant, which was heartbreaking. Despair - We lost the ball in regular time and we got it back quickly. Can we get it back this time?
Many people feel there is little hope.
Because they don't have such abundant physical energy.
Why was Bayern Munich beaten in the first half of overtime? It was because of physical problems.
After working hard for a season, by the last game, my physical fitness has reached the limit. Now I rely entirely on my willpower to support myself. If I want to fall, I can really do it at any time.
I originally thought that I could survive the first half of the overtime and continue to struggle with Bayern Munich in the second half. However, Robben's goal made many people lose hope of winning.
Zhou Yi supported his knees with both hands, bent over, opened his mouth, and gasped for air, like a fish out of water.
The hair was wet and stuck to the scalp as if it had just been washed. The sweat was like a heavy rain, flowing down the cheeks and dripping on the chin. The jersey he was wearing had long been soaked and clung to his body.
At this time, he couldn't even care about feeling disappointed and sad for losing the ball. He just wanted to let himself take in a few more breaths of oxygen.
The game went into overtime, a situation he had already experienced in virtual games.
The game went into overtime and Bayern Munich scored, a situation he has also experienced in virtual games.
The game went into overtime, and then Bayern Munich scored, which ultimately led to the team losing the game. He also experienced this situation in the virtual game.
This is not something that needs too much attention. Compared with it, it is more important to restore some physical fitness.
