Chapter 53 The Glorious Sun Pan
While Royce was still regretting that he missed this opportunity, Chelsea on the other side had already used this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The football played by Sun Pan fell to Lampard's feet. Zhou Yi realized that Chelsea might have to counterattack quickly, because Dortmund was attacking just now, and problems are most likely to occur when transitioning between offense and defense.
So he rushed forward to stop Lampard. Even if he couldn't steal the ball, he still had to hold him back and give his teammates time to defend.
But Lampard also knew this, so he didn't give Zhou Yi a chance to hold him back. He immediately passed the football to Hazard in front.
The football rolled past Zhou Yi's feet so fast that even Zhou Yi, who was so fast, couldn't even reach out to destroy it.
He could only watch as Hazard received the ball, then ran forward with the ball from the center.
Next, he passed Sven Bender and Hummels, split Dortmund's defense, and then distributed the football to Schurrle on the right. Schurrle passed the ball with a half-high pass. In the penalty area, Fernando Torres came out of the middle and volleyed with his right foot!
Bang!
The football shot through Weidenfeller like a bullet and flew into the goal behind him...
"Torres -!! Fernando Torres!!! Chelsea is one goal ahead of Dortmund!!" the British commentator shouted excitedly. "Mourinho's Chelsea played a typical Mourinho-style quick counterattack!!"
This is indeed a very, very classic Mourinho counterattack - from Sun Pan hitting the football out to Torres volleying the goal, the whole process only took more than ten seconds, which was very fast.
When Mourinho was coaching at Real Madrid, this offensive idea was vividly reflected by the group of players in Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt who were good at running. Now that he has just returned to Chelsea, everyone has seen his signature fast attack again.

"Holy shit, Chelsea scored!"
"Torres! Oh my god! He is truly a winner in life! He also scored in the European Super Cup! Now he can be counted as having scored in all major cup finals, right?"
"Grand Slam striker Torres!"
"It's really unexpected that the goal was scored by Torres who was in a sluggish state..."
On the Chinese Internet, after Torres scored, it also aroused heated discussions among fans.
In this game, except for the fans who originally support Chelsea or Dortmund, the vast majority of Chinese fans are just like He Ping, happy and entangled, not knowing who to hope to win and who to cheer for.
Now that Chelsea have scored a goal, in addition to teasing Torres about "Winner in Life", more people are showing such a tangled and happy emotion.
Some people praised Sun Pan's save as too crucial, while others were worried about what Zhou Yi would do.
Is it really conservation of character?
※※※
"Ah...Torres!" Marcel Leif screamed as the ball sailed into the goal. "Dortmund's defense has disrupted Hazard's breakthrough. When everyone thought he was going to shoot, he gave the ball to Schürrle... When defending, Dortmund's players completely forgot about Torres! "
"For Dortmund, this is simply too bad. Chelsea took the lead in just seven minutes. You must know that the person guarding Chelsea's goal now is Sun Pan! I believe they must be familiar with this person!"
In the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals last season, Sun Pan's performance could be called "torture" for Dortmund. If not for their luck and relying on Zhou Yi's world wave, they might have stopped in the quarter-finals...
Where are the glorious moments later?
But we can’t always count on Zhouyi to make waves in the world, right? As for Zhou Yi's long-distance flight back and forth before this game, it's hard to say whether his physical fitness can last until the countdown period to beat Chelsea...
※※※
The Dortmund players did quickly think that the person standing opposite them was Sun Pan, the goalkeeper who left a very deep and painful impression on them...
When I think about this, being one goal behind seems like an insurmountable chasm. Dortmund's morale is inevitably a bit low.
Looking at Chelsea, Sun Pan is particularly happy because in this offense, he can be regarded as the initiator - both the terminator of Dortmund's offense and the initiator of Chelsea's goals. He is both a savior and an offensive instigator. It feels so good to wear it all together, there is nothing more exciting than this.
Zhou Yi stole the show on the podium, and now it's Sun Pan's turn to steal the show on the court!
Excited, he did a somersault with both hands on the ground in front of the goal. Even if he was celebrating alone, he still had to steal the spotlight with his strength...
This is really not something he did to add drama to himself. The commentators also mentioned Sun Pan's contribution to this goal.
For example, Chinese commentator He Ping was full of praise for Sun Pan's performance: "The key figure in Chelsea's goal is Sun Pan! He first saved Royce's single-handed ball, and then the football he saved fell again. At Lampard's feet, it directly led to the emergence of this quick counterattack... If he saved the football from the bottom line, although it was also an excellent save, he also gave Dortmund a corner kick. How could it lead to Chelsea's counterattack like it does now? Is it the same as scoring a goal?"
As a Chinese commentator, He Ping must of course help Chinese players speak for themselves.
If his words are not very credible, then the German commentator Marcel Leif's praise for Sun Pan is convincing enough, right?
"Look at this save. I believe that those who were still questioning Chelsea's decision to use Cech as a substitute in order to keep Sun Pan should reflect on it. I also believe that Cech will only applaud Sun Pan when he sees this save. Applause without any other thoughts. Football is a sport of competition, and only competition can keep a team fighting. I think Chelsea fans should be happy that they have two excellent goalkeepers in their team, and Not the other way around…”
After Sun Pan made this save, the TV broadcast should have immediately given Cech a shot on the bench. However, Chelsea immediately launched a quick counterattack. Even Royce's single shot did not have time to be replayed. Release it.
After Chelsea scored, the TV broadcast cut to a shot of Cech on the bench. At that time, Cech was celebrating the victory with his teammates, and it was impossible to tell what he thought about Sun Pan's save just now.
※※※
Chelsea's players ended their celebrations and the game resumed.
Everyone knows that if Mourinho's team takes the lead, the game will be difficult to play. As time goes by, the situation will become unfavorable to Dortmund, and the morale of Dortmund players who have already been hit will further decline...
In order to restore the morale of Dortmund's players, they have to do something to make them believe that falling behind by one goal is not an insurmountable chasm.
At this time, someone who can boost morale is needed.
After the kick-off, Dortmund took advantage of the opportunity to attack the ball.
Mark did not stay in the penalty area in front of the goal, but pulled to the wing to get the ball.
After receiving the ball, he chose to pass the football directly into the penalty area and made a pass.
Originally, this was supposed to be a very casual cross that would never pose a threat to Chelsea's goal.
But when Zhou Yi suddenly appeared in the penalty area, jumped up and volleyed towards the flying football, the situation was different from what everyone expected...
"Zhouyi——!"
Amid Marcel Leif's elongated roar, the football fell from above Ruiz's head. The Brazilian center back did not hit the ball, but Zhou Yi, who jumped up behind him to volley, hit the ball. !
Near the penalty spot, Zhou Yi hit the football firmly with his kick, and the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball!
Although Sun Pan made a save, his movements still seemed a bit slow in the face of Zhou Yi's sudden volley...
"Depend on……"
Sun Pan cursed in his heart, he knew he couldn't save the ball... He wouldn't have conceded the ball just after scoring, right? Then all the glory before will be gone!
However, Zhou Yi's kick did not hit the goal frame. Instead, it missed the far goal post and flew out of the bottom line!
"It's off! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Marcel Leif put his head in his hands and looked up to the sky and screamed.
He felt extremely sorry that Zhou Yi didn't score the goal.
Sun Pan, who fell to the ground, looked back and saw that the football did not fly into the goal. He secretly let out a breath. Although he was frightened in his heart, he still had to tense up on his face. He turned over and got up, facing the ball lying on the ground. Zhou Yi shook his finger: "Don't think you can enter the world wave with me!"
Zhou Yi was feeling annoyed that he didn't score the goal, and he was happy when he heard Sun Pan come over and say: "That's right, Panpan, if I want to enter your door, of course I have to be a world wave!"
Sun Pan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you complimenting me?"
"Of course I'm complimenting you." Zhou Yi straightened out his socks that were crooked after landing, and then stretched out his hands to Sun Pan.
This meant that Sun Pan would pull him up. Sun Pan also understood, and Zhou Yi had just praised him, which made him feel good, so he reached out his hand cooperatively and pulled Zhou Yi up.
After getting up, Zhou Yi patted Sun Pan on the back and said to him: "There is a prize in world football that belongs only to you. Even Hart can't compete with you..."
Sun Pan was confused by what he was saying, and even the Northeastern dialect came out: "What the hell?"
"Best background award of the year! Isn't there a poem in this? 'If the sky is sentimental, the sky will grow old, and Panpan will be kicked when he sees it'!" After saying that, Zhou Yi ran back, not giving Sun Pan the chance to seize him. .
"Fuck!!" Sure enough, he heard Sun Pan roaring angrily behind him.
Fortunately, he slipped away quickly...
