Chapter 140 There Is Still a Chance to Shoot

When the players from both sides came out of the tunnel, the TV broadcast quickly cut to a close-up shot of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was injured in the last match between the two sides and missed more than a month.

Now that he has returned from injury and faces Naples again, he is naturally the focus.

In the last confrontation between the two teams, if Zhou Yi had not been injured and left the field, would the final result have been different from now? Many people think it will be different.

Even if they can't beat Naples in the away game, they can't lose to their opponents 0:3 in the away game, right? With Zhou Yi here, Dortmund still has a chance to score an away goal - in fact, Dortmund already had such signs before Zhou Yi was injured and came off the field, when Aubameyang played a very threatening attack.

It's a pity that Dortmund's momentum came to an abrupt end as soon as Zhou Yi came on the field. Even at the end, because of his uneasiness, Naples seized the opportunity to score another victory, and finally lost 0:3.

After the game, Dortmund's media complained that Naples took advantage of Dortmund players who were concerned about Zhou Yi and were not interested in playing.

So now, Zhou Yi is back, healthy and in excellent condition. When Dortmund faces Naples again, what performance can he perform?

Everyone is very interested in the answer to this question.

※※※

During the Champions League theme song, players from both sides entered the venue, stood in line, and then shook hands with each other to greet each other. The captains of both sides exchanged team flags, guessed coins and picked sides...

In the end Dortmund got the kick-off.

"With the referee's whistle, the highlight of Group F of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage begins!" After the whistle sounded, the commentator also raised his volume.

"Dortmund has maintained a winning streak of eight Champions League games at their home court. But at the same time, their last two home games against Serie A teams ended in failure, namely a 0:2 loss to Udinese in the UEFA Cup and a 2-0 loss to Udinese in the UEFA Cup. Losing to AC Milan 0:1 in the Champions League... In this game, if Dortmund wants to retain the possibility of qualifying, they must defeat Naples..."

"Napoli can qualify one round early as long as they draw in this game. With a three-point lead over Dortmund, if they draw with Dortmund, there will be the last round of the group stage left, and they will lead Dortmund by three points, and the outcome will be dominant. No matter how Dortmund's last game with Galatasaray goes, Napoli will qualify... Napoli has won six of the last eight Champions League games, and only one of the last twelve Champions League games failed to score, which was the last time The 0:2 loss to Arsenal... and the last six Champions League games have all conceded goals. When visiting Germany, they have not won yet - five draws and four losses..."

Marcel Leif quickly introduced the situation of the two teams.

On the pitch, Dortmund had taken advantage of their kick-off opportunity to attack Naples' goal.

Dortmund didn't want to waste a second. Instead of back and forth in the backcourt, they passed the ball directly forward, launched an attack, and threatened Naples' goal.

After Mark received Royce's pass at the front of the penalty area, he directly knocked the football behind him with his heel. Zhou Yi, who followed, directly took a long shot with his foot!

Naples goalkeeper Reina saw the football flying toward the upper right corner of the goal.

He quickly jumped up and jumped, but he didn't touch the football...

Fortunately for him, the football did not fly into the goal, but was slightly higher and flew over the crossbar!

"Zhou Yi!! Oops! This is a wonderful long-range shot, just a little higher!" When Zhou Yi shot, He Ping thought the ball was going in, but the ball flew out of the baseline. He was regretful He also didn't forget to praise Zhou Yi's shot.

There was also a burst of exclamation in the stands. When Zhou Yi shot, the Dortmund fans thought the goal was there.

Zhou Yi, who didn't score a goal, put his head in his hands and regretted for a moment after shooting. Then he put down his arms, turned around and ran back.

Although Zhou Yi's long-range shot didn't go in, it scared many Naples fans into a cold sweat. The game had just started, and Zhou Yi actually took such a threatening long-range shot. Fortunately, it didn't go in... If it had gone in... If not, this game will be difficult for Naples!

The Naples fans were grateful that they had escaped. After taking a breath, they continued to watch the game.

※※※

Although Zhou Yi's shot did not result in a goal, it set the tone for the game.

Next, Dortmund continued to besiege Naples' goal with such ferocity that Naples could only passively defend after the opening.

Naples must have anticipated this situation, so facing Dortmund's fierce offensive, they did not panic, but quickly recovered and solidified their defense.

This is the tactic Benitez arranged for Naples. In view of the situation where Dortmund must win at home, Naples's game is based on defensive counterattack.

Benitez is very good at defensive counterattacks.

※※※

Continuous attacks also gave Dortmund a chance to set the ball.

During training, Dortmund also focused on positioning ball offense and defense. Napoli will shrink its defense, and Klopp also expected it. And set pieces are a good way to break down dense defenses.

In the ninth minute of the game, Dortmund received a corner kick.

When the game reached the eighth minute, Aubameyang made a pass from the wing. Mark grabbed the point in the penalty area and shook his head to score!

The ball was held over the crossbar by goalkeeper Reina with one palm, and Dortmund won the first corner kick of the game.

Royce took a corner kick on the right, and there was chaos in the penalty area. During the scramble, Albiol pulled Mark so that he could not jump up. As a result, the football flew over his head, but he There is nothing you can do, there is no way to fight for the top.

However, the referee Carvalho from Spain did not say anything, which made Mark very angry. He opened his arms to protest to the referee: "He pulled my clothes!!"

But Carvalho just shook his head. In his opinion, that level of pulling was not enough to constitute a foul.

So Dortmund lost a chance to shoot.

Although the referee didn't say anything, it sparked discussion among the commentators.

"Albiol's action should be considered a foul, right? This is a very obvious pull. He even hugged Mark, preventing Mark from jumping up..." He Ping made the penalty in the Zhouyi referee.

Marcel Leif was also dissatisfied with this penalty: "Obviously, Albiol made hand movements while defending, and the interference hindered Mark's aerial challenge. This should be a penalty penalty and give Dortmund a penalty. Penalty kick!"

However, the Italian commentator's view was different from theirs: "Isn't Mark's action too exaggerated? They were just entangled with each other, pretending to be pulled and unable to move. There is an obvious element of exaggeration in the performance!" Referee Carvalho was right to ignore him!"

There was a burst of boos in the stands because of this entanglement in the penalty area.

Dortmund fans also believe that Albiol committed a foul and should give Dortmund a penalty kick. They should even show Albiol a yellow card, causing Naples' main center back to have a penalty at the beginning of the game. The burden of a yellow card!

But nothing happened and Dortmund fans were unhappy.

Mark was still unwilling to give in. He wanted to go to the referee to protest, but Zhou Yi stopped him: "Okay, Mark, don't worry about this kind of thing. Don't use all your energy to deal with the referee, it will not be worth the loss."

"But that should have been our penalty!" Mark said angrily. Dortmund is in a bad situation now, and everyone is under heavy pressure. Being able to get a chance to score may relieve everyone's pressure...

Zhou Yi shook his head: "The referee will not change the penalty easily. Even if you protest around him, it will be useless. Instead, you will get yourself a yellow card. If you protest, you can get us a penalty kick. Of course I support it." You, but can you?”

Mark was silenced by Zhou Yi's question.

Protests cannot change the referee's decision. This is a fact.

"Okay, don't think so much. The past is over. What matters is the next game. Don't worry, you still have a chance to score!" Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder and ran back to his position first. .

Mark looked back at Albiol and had no choice but to run back.

※※※

Not long after, Dortmund attacked again. Durm directly transferred the long pass of football from the left to the right.

On the right wing, Grosskreutz jumped up and competed with Naples left back Almelo, but the ball was pushed back by Almelo.

Zhou Yi appeared at the landing point of the football and directly raised his foot to pass the football in the air to Mark who was in front of him.

Then Zhou Yi started to push forward into the middle.

Mark didn't take the ball much when Naples players were closely guarding him, but instead passed the ball to Royce.

When Royce received the ball, his back was facing the direction of the attack. He did not turn around or stop the ball. He chose to directly pass the football to Zhou Yi who was advancing.

Zhou Yi took a step forward with the football, as if he wanted to get rid of the pursuers next to him.

In front of him, Naples' four-man defense was ready. Zhou Yi's long-range shot at the beginning scared them. As long as Zhou Yi had the opportunity to take a long-range shot, they would be particularly nervous.

Zhou Yi suddenly adjusted his pace while running, and took a long step forward, as if he was going to shoot from a long distance. This made the Naples defenders who retreated feel excited, and they were even ready to block the eye-catching attack with their bodies at any time.

After stepping up, Zhou Yi's right foot swung up. This was indeed a stance for a long shot!

Albiol, the center back in front of Zhou Yi, no longer hesitated this time. He protected his crotch with his hands, then half-turned and stretched his legs to block Zhou Yi's shot.

But Zhouyi did not take a long shot!

After swinging his right foot down, he very lightly used the outside instep to poke the football forward to the right!

The football rolled past Albiol's spread legs!

This is a very, very hidden and sudden diagonal pass!

After the football passed under Albiol's crotch, it rolled past another Napoli center back, Federico Fernandez, and rolled diagonally towards the right rib of the penalty area. Federico Fernandez could only watch helplessly. Watching the football slipping away from his feet, he was unable to do anything - he was running back and had no time to adjust his center of gravity and make a move to destroy the ball...

He followed the football and diverted his attention, and saw Mark Wagner cutting in from beside him like a ghost!

"This pass... what a ball!! Mark Wagner's chance -!!!"

Amid Marcel Leif's drawn-out roar, Mark adjusted his pace, raised his right foot, and shot!

With a bang, the football passed by the shoulder of Reina who was attacking to block the angle at high speed!

Mark seems to have vented all his resentment about being pulled and not awarded a penalty kick just now into this kick. This is a real powerful volley!

Reina, who was so fast, didn't even have time to make a save. The ball flew past and then got into the goal through the gap between him and the near post!

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!" Marcel Leif roared in a long voice when he saw the football flying into the goal. "In the fourteenth minute, Dortmund opened the scoring! From Mark Wagner!!!"
