Chapter 253 Exhausted
Mark equalized the score with ten minutes left before the end of the game, which immediately made the game full of suspense again.
After Bayern Munich took the lead, most people felt that it was only a matter of time before Bayern Munich won.
But now it's not a matter of time.
Dortmund equalized the score and their morale was high. Even if the game was dragged to a penalty shootout, they would have the upper hand, not Bayern Munich.
After the game restarted, the morale-boosted Dortmund did launch a fierce offensive towards Bayern Munich's goal. At this time, they did not seem to worry that the space behind them would be exploited by Bayern Munich.
They know that the opponent actually has little physical strength. How can it be so easy to fight back?
If there are some goals that are put into a 90-minute game, we will definitely be able to catch up. But now I can't run anymore and my speed has slowed down.
Of course, Dortmund was not much better, but they were in a defensive state in the first half of overtime and got some breathing space.
Bayern Munich is also very clear about where their disadvantage is now, so they don't think about offense, and first defend the goal. If they lose the ball again at the last moment, Dortmund will kill it in turn.
If you have experienced something like this once in the league, there is no need to experience it again in the Champions League.
As long as the ball is not conceded, the game can be dragged into a penalty shootout. At that time, it will be fair to both sides. Dortmund has a chance to win, as does Bayern Munich.
Both teams have prepared for a possible penalty shootout, so they are not very resistant to a penalty shootout.
In order not to concede the ball, Bayern Munich shrank its defense and retreated inside and outside its own penalty area to a thirty-meter area, trying not to give Dortmund too much space.
Facing Bayern Munich's intensive defense, Dortmund's offensive options are still crosses from the wing, top battles in the middle, or long shots outside the penalty area.
However, Bayern Munich also has targeted arrangements. While they continue to strengthen their defense against tall players such as Hummels and Lewandowski, they also send extra manpower to defend Mark and Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi and Mark want to It becomes very difficult to get the opportunity to be unmarked in the penalty area like the goal just scored.
In this situation,
Dortmund's offensive effect is not very good either.
Time passes minute by minute.
Zhou Yi now rarely retreats to the midfield and backfield to catch the ball. He stays in the frontcourt. This wasn't because he was lazy, but because he couldn't run anymore.
Even though his physical fitness this season has improved a lot compared to before, he still can't bear to play such a high-intensity 120-minute game after working hard for a season.
Many times, he would not even run, but would pace slowly while breathing heavily.
Zhou Yi rarely experienced this feeling of exhaustion. When was the last time he felt like this in a game?
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that before he became a professional player, he participated in the filming of a reality show and played in the match with the Barcelona youth team for ninety minutes. In the end, he was so tired that he could only rely on his mouth to direct his teammates. Passed the ball.
Although they were so tired, they were the ones who won in the end, and Zhou Yi was very satisfied.
In today's game, if he fights to the point of exhaustion and can get a Champions League title back, he will be willing to do so even if he is exhausted.
But today he didn't need to use his mouth to direct his teammates to pass the ball.

"Zhou Yi is basically walking on the court now. Fortunately, the game is basically played in Bayern Munich's half. Otherwise, he would have been offside..." Chinese commentator He Ping said in the commentary box. Said worriedly.
Klopp still has a substitution quota, but he has not used it. He Ping is always worried that Zhou Yi will be replaced.
Although even if Zhou Yi was replaced, it would be normal and even a very reasonable and appropriate substitution, but He Ping would still feel it was a pity.
He hopes that Zhou Yi can stay on the court all the time. He still has a little fantasy about Zhou Yi, fantasizing that Zhou Yi can once again show his amazing creativity and help Dortmund win.
If he had been replaced, none of this would have happened.
He Ping selfishly hoped that Zhou Yi would stay on the court, even if he couldn't run anymore. But he still placed hope on Zhou Yi.
Klopp also seemed to be hesitant. It would be great to equalize the score.
If it really doesn't work, he is completely able to accept penalty kicks.
But in that case, would it be necessary to replace Zhou Yi?
He hesitated and hesitated, but could not make this decision.
It now seems that Zhou Yi is in the worst physical condition among the Dortmund players on the field. Many times, he cannot function normally. Dortmund is playing ten against eleven.
If he is replaced, no matter who is replaced, at least his physical fitness will be guaranteed, and at least he will no longer be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
But if Zhou Yi is really replaced, there seems to be no hope and he can only focus on the penalty shootout.
If this is the case, Klopp will be a little unwilling.
Dortmund finally equalized the score. Just when morale was rising, the head coach himself gave up all possibilities, leaving only preparations for a penalty shootout. He felt it was a waste of morale...

While Klopp was hesitant, Dortmund was still laying siege to Bayern Munich's goal.
Zhou Yi will occasionally pass the ball outside the penalty area, but he will also run into the penalty area to look for opportunities. He will not stick to a certain position. Although he can't run now, it does not mean that he will stand like a scarecrow. He doesn't move. Even if he paces, he keeps changing his position.
This time, he moved to the edge of the penalty area, and the football was passed sideways outside the penalty area. Zhou Yi did not raise his hand to ask for the ball. He knew that even if he wanted the ball, it would be of no use if the ball was passed over. Possibly dropped the ball.
So he watched his teammates kicking around outside, looking for opportunities.
Zhou Yi is also looking for opportunities.
But he didn't find any chance. After being equalized, Bayern Munich decisively retracted across the board. This was intended to last until the end of overtime and the penalty shootout.
In this way, they naturally care about defense and make their penalty area airtight.
Even Dortmund doesn't have a good solution.
Facing Bayern Munich's intensive defense, Dortmund player Gundogan, who took the ball, decided to try a long shot.
However, his shot did not take off. The football that was running forward against the turf had just rushed out when it was blocked by Bastian Schweinsteiger who fell to the ground and tackled him. Instead of flying towards the goal, he deflected towards the goal. On one side, it rolled towards... Zhou Yi who was on the line of the penalty area!
At this time, Zhou Yi's back was facing the direction of the attack, and behind him, Javi Martinez was closely guarding him.
Try not to let him turn around.
Zhou Yi could feel the pressure from behind.
But he still leaned back desperately to resist the pressure from Javi Martinez.
Javi Martinez didn't plan to do anything else. He didn't want to directly go around the front to defend and destroy the football in front of Zhou Yi - in that case, he might be left behind by the cunning Zhou Yi.
Since Zhou Yi had a goal and an assist, Harvey Martinez had to guard against this possibility.
Who knows what Zhou Yi will do next time?
So he just pushed Zhou Yi hard and prevented him from turning around easily. If he wanted to pass the football, then let him do whatever he wanted. Javi Martinez couldn't control that much.
In the eyes of many people, as long as Zhou Yi is not allowed to turn around, his threat to the goal will be greatly reduced.
And with Zhou Yi's physical confrontation ability, it is simply impossible to beat Javi Martinez in a back single.
But just when everyone thought that Zhou Yi could only spread the football, Zhou Yi made a move that made Harvey Martinez feel very confused.
Originally, he was in direct contact with Zhou Yi's body. He pressed against Zhou Yi's back, raised his hands and placed them beside him, signaling to the referee that his hands were not moving. If Zhou Yi fell down later, it was not him who pushed him. , but Zhou Yi was diving.
From this physical contact, he could clearly feel the power coming from Zhou Yi. He was desperately resisting the invasion of his body, so that he could not fall behind in this physical contest.
Javi Martinez, who is 1.90 meters tall and weighs 81 kilograms, completely "crushed" Zhou Yi physically. He bent over, condescending, and pressed against Zhou Yi, not giving him a chance to turn around. .
If Zhou Yi wants to confront him head-on, he is absolutely confident that he can win.
But at this moment, he felt Zhou Yi's body slipping to the side under his pressure, as if he was about to deviate! (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
