Chapter 172 More Powerful than God

In the locker room, Dortmund players are wiping off the sweat on their bodies and changing into dry jerseys to avoid catching a cold. Little talk

At the same time, Klopp praised the players for their performance in the first half. Although he conceded a goal, Klopp was generally satisfied with the players' performance. Especially the performance after conceding the ball, the players were not frightened by conceding the ball and panicked. Instead, they actively launched a counterattack, threatening Galatasaray's goal and preventing them from going all out in their offense.

After praising the players, it’s time to talk about how to play in the second half.

Otherwise, you won’t win the game with praise alone.

"...If Galatasaray continues to play like this in the second half, we will continue to fight back."

The strategy for the second half was very simple.

Since Galatasaray's morale is now high and they want to destroy Dortmund in one go, Dortmund will avoid its edge and then counterattack.

At the same time, on the other side, Trim also praised the team's first half mark.

Then he asked the players to keep up their efforts in the second half. This tone must not be lost.

The goal in the first half made the Galatasaray players very excited, which seemed to prove more and more that everything today was arranged by God.

They have confidence in God that they can definitely defeat Dortmund in this game, get their first win in the Champions League this season, and bid farewell to this season's Champions League with a victory.

After the start of the second half, everything was just like the first half. Galatasaray, who equalized the score, continued their high morale and continued to attack Dortmund's goal.

As for Dortmund, in response to Galatasaray's offensive, they also launched a defensive counterattack as expected.

Just at the beginning of the second half, Galatasaraes launched an attack from the right and the football was passed into the penalty area. But Drogba, who was following up in front of the goal to grab the point, was half a beat too slow and missed the football!

"Drogba - what a pity! If he could have kicked the football and made sure to lift the football within the goal frame, the goal would have been scored!" the Turkish commentator shouted regretfully.

After the football was passed to the Dortmund goal, many Naples fans in front of the TV jumped up from their seats excitedly, raised their arms, and were ready to cheer for Naples' goal.

As a result, Drogba did not touch the football, which made the fans who jumped up fell back into their chairs in disappointment, raised their arms and clasped their heads, looking at the TV screen in disbelief - they did not dare I believe that a high-level player like Drogba would not even touch the ball!

Just at the beginning of the second half, such a dangerous situation occurred in front of Dortmund's goal, which really scared the Dortmund fans.

However, the Dortmund players on the pitch did not seem to be affected.

Within a few minutes, Dortmund launched a high-quality counterattack.

After the football was passed to the front of Galatasaray's penalty area, Zhou Yi passed the ball to Royce with his heel at the front of the penalty area. Royce inserted into the penalty area from the right and passed the ball to the back. Mark nodded the ball from behind to grab the point. Football Fly towards the goal!

Galatasaray's goalkeeper Muslera made a flying save and knocked Mark's header away!

"Oh——!" This time it was the Dortmund fans' turn to exclaim.

"Mark's header!! Muslera made a great save!"

"Although there was no goal, Dortmund played a very high-quality counterattack! Facing Galatasaray's aggressive offensive, Dortmund was not at a disadvantage at all!" He Ping was very happy. Dortmund's performance gave him hope.

The score is still not in favor of Dortmund now, but the second half has just begun and Dortmund still has a chance to win the game.

※※※

Dortmund's counterattack frightened both Galatasaray fans and Naples fans. Then Galatasaray fans were enraged and their shouts in the stands became even crazier.

And their madness was also passed on to the Galatasaray players on the court.

The home team did not restrain themselves because of Dortmund's attack. On the contrary, they attacked even harder.

Dortmund, whose fighting spirit was aroused by this attack, was not to be outdone, and the two teams simply fought against each other.

Playing on slippery snow, both sides will have a lot of disappointments. At this time, whoever can catch these mistakes may be fatal.

In the 57th minute, Dortmund launched an offensive. Royce got a chance on the right side of the penalty area, but his shot eleven meters in front of the goal was blocked by the goal post!

"Royce!! He missed a great opportunity to take the lead!"

Royce, who failed to score, put his head in his hands and was very upset.

Zhou Yi applauded him from behind, indicating that his shot just now was beautiful.

Although he didn't score a goal, such a shot can definitely boost morale and give his teammates confidence.

It is true that Dortmund has not been affected by continuous threatening attacks but no goals.

After Galatasaray had another attack, Dortmund also launched theirs.

This time, since it was not a counterattack after stealing the ball, Galatasaray was well prepared.

Zhou Yi did not rush to try a long ball behind them.

Instead, he chose to move forward with a short pass.

Advancing all the way to Galatasaray's penalty area, Dortmund encountered huge defensive resistance.

It is difficult for them to send forward passes anymore, and most of the time they can only pass crosswise or back-pass.

Because the court was slippery, it was difficult to break through with the ball.

Zhou Yi took the ball again. He moved the ball forward slightly, then caught up with the ball, raised his right leg, and tried to shoot directly from a long distance.

In today's venue and weather conditions, long-range shooting is indeed a way to break the deadlock.

So when Zhou Yi was about to take a long shot, Galatasaray's players immediately rushed forward to catch the eye.

It turned out that Zhou Yi was just a fake move. His right foot did not really hit the football, and it fell down and passed the football to Yan Min not far away on the left.

Yan Min gets the ball in the ribs, and he can also choose to break through with the ball or make a long shot or cross.

He didn't do this, because after he caught the ball, he saw Zhou Yi suddenly moving forward. At the same time, the opponent's defensive players all turned their attention to him who was holding the ball, and the level of marking Zhou Yi suddenly dropped.

Yan Min realized that this was an opportunity to pass the ball, so he passed the football without hesitation.

"Two-one against the wall to cooperate!"

Amid the commentator's exclamations, Zhou Yi caught the ball again.

At the same time, with the football, the defensive attention of Galatasaray defenders also returned to him.

Zhou Yi just caught the ball with his right foot and immediately pushed the football out with his right foot.

This time he passed the football to Mark who was diagonally ahead.

At this moment, because Zhou Yi took the ball twice in a row, he attracted the attention of the Galatasaray defenders. Mark was able to run into the space between the two defenders. He caught the ball here and could almost directly hit the ball. Shot!

"Opportunity for Dortmund!"

When Zhou Yi passed the ball, He Ping shouted excitedly.

There was a huge exclamation at the scene.

Galatasaray's defenders quickly turned around to attack Mark.

But Mark didn't shoot. He used the outside instep of his right foot to poke the football out diagonally, and the football rolled back to the feet of Zhou Yi who was advancing!

After passing the ball, he didn't stop to watch Mark's performance, but continued to run forward, because Mark helped him attract the defender, so now he received the ball in a completely unmarked situation!

When he got the ball, Zhou Yi was already in a position near the penalty spot, and then faced a huge goal and goalkeeper Muslera alone.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him. If their eyes were warm, he should have been ignited by now...

I saw Zhou Yi swinging his foot. This time it was no longer a fake move. His right foot hit the football with the instep!

With a bang, the surrounding snowflakes and some water on the turf spread away.

The football flew to the lower left corner of the goal!

Muslera jumped sideways. His reaction was quick. When Zhou Yi shot, he had already jumped out and judged the right direction.

However, there was a layer of water around the football, making it heavier and slippery. Although Muslera's hand touched the football, he was unable to save it. He only slightly changed the direction of the football. In the end, the football He still ran into the goal behind him and hit the net...

"Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!!" Marcel Leif excitedly raised his arms and shouted. "Zhou Yi! He gave Dortmund the lead again!!! 2:1!"

"With beautiful consecutive one-twos, Zhou Yi broke through Galatasaray's 'wall'! He is indeed Dortmund's 'Mr. Key'!" He Ping also had witty remarks. "Dortmund has taken the initiative to qualify again in its own hands!"

※※※

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi glanced at the football in the goal and confirmed that he had scored. Then he opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area. Then, taking advantage of the slippery field, he jumped up and made a dive. His whole body was filled with excitement. Lie down on the turf and slide forward.

Zhou Yi seldom did such a wild celebration, and he regretted it only once - the feeling of prostate braking was not pleasant...

Zhou Yi just wanted to turn over and get up, but he was pushed down from behind and fell to the ground again. Then he felt someone lying on him, and then more people pressed up...

Dortmund's players excitedly stacked their heads on Zhou Yi.

Under such unfavorable circumstances, Zhou Yi still helped the team regain the lead. They all now feel that if the heavy snowfall and postponement of the game were God's arrangements, then Zhou Yi must be a more powerful existence than God!

Klopp also celebrated the goal wildly in front of the coach's bench, his big mouth opened as if he wanted to eat someone.

※※※

While the Dortmund coach and players were excitedly celebrating the goal, the most sad and frustrated ones were not the Galatasaray fans who lost the ball, but the Naples fans in Italy.

When the football flew into the goal, many Naples fans held their heads in their hands and looked at the TV screen blankly.

As long as Dortmund can win this game, no matter how many goals they win, Naples will have nothing to do with the Champions League knockout rounds.
