Chapter 206 Victory Is More Important than Mount Tai

After scoring the goal, Yan Min was very excited. He ran to the corner flag area to celebrate, which happened to be where Hamburg fans gathered.

The Hamburg fans, who were extremely disappointed with the team, let out harsh boos. This boo was both for Hamburg's own players and for Yan Min.

Yan Min put his finger in front of his lips to signal the Hamburg fans to shut up.

Of course he couldn't silence the Hamburg fans, so he got even more boos.

But Yan Min didn't care and was not intimidated. He turned around and jumped on Schmelzer's body, hugging his teammates.

Dortmund's players celebrated unbridledly in front of the Hamburg fans.

The Hamburg fans were itching to watch, but there was nothing they could do about it.

※※※

After the game restarted, Hamburg, which was already two goals behind, finally decided to risk everything - they were already two goals behind anyway, and if they didn't fight hard, they would lose with this score. Might as well give it a try, maybe we can create a miracle.

So next, Hamburg made a crazy counterattack.

They did create some opportunities and even scored - in the 76th minute, Hamburg got a corner kick on the left, Calhanoglu took the penalty, and Djurou scored with a header from behind!

Huge cheers erupted in Yingtai Arena.

But the cheers were interrupted by the referee's whistle - when he signaled to nod the ball from behind, Lasoga, who was grabbing the point in the middle, fouled first, so the goal was invalid!

This penalty caused dissatisfaction among Hamburg players.

But no matter how much they protested, the referee did not change his decision.

They could only return to the game unwillingly.

Facing Hamburg's counterattack, Dortmund launched a counterattack.

Klopp also did not replace Zhou Yi. This was the first time in the last three league rounds that he did not replace Zhou Yi around the 70th minute.

It was also because the current situation was too critical that he did not dare to replace Zhou Yi rashly.

Zhou Yi is the team's anchor on the court.

Whether it is from a technical and tactical level or a psychological level, he can make other Dortmund players feel at ease. Faced with Hamburg's crazy counterattack, they will not be in disarray.

You must know that a two-goal lead may seem like a lot, but if the opponent makes a desperate move and has better luck, it is not impossible to score two goals in three minutes to equalize the score...

Although Zhou Yi cannot be replaced in advance, Klopp can replace players in other positions to give them a chance to rest and at the same time better protect the fruits of victory.

He replaced Mark Wagner with Grosskreutz.

After Grosskreutz came on the field, he played as a defensive midfielder. How important it is to have such a versatile player in the team...

Replacing Mark and leaving Aubameyang, Klopp did not purely strengthen defense, he also retained the means of counterattack. In the counterattack, the speedy Aubameyang can certainly play a more crucial role than Mark.

It wasn't until the 85th minute, seeing that there was little game time left, that Klopp was ready to replace Zhou Yi.

In the 87th minute, a dead ball formed on the field, and Klopp replaced Zhou Yi with Hoffman.

Not long after Zhou Yi came off the field, in the 90th minute, Royce got up after being intercepted and kicked Rincon from behind.

This action earned him a yellow card and also gave Hamburg a free kick in the frontcourt.

This was a free kick thirty-five meters away from the goal. With a two-goal lead and little game time left, Dortmund was very perfunctory when arranging the wall. They did not build the wall properly.

Calhanoglu came to take the free kick. Facing the sparse Dortmund lined up on the wall, he shot directly!

After the football drew a wonderful arc in the air, it went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

In the face of such a world wave, Weidenfeller was powerless. Although he made a save, he did not touch the football at all.

The football flew into the goal!

"OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Marcel Leif exclaimed. "Oh my god! A direct free kick from 35 meters! Calhanoglu! World wave! This goal is really wonderful! I believe this goal is likely to become the best goal in this round of the league! It is so wonderful ! The only pity is... why didn't this goal appear earlier? Of course, with such a wonderful goal, even if the game is lost, it is enough for people to talk about it for a long time..."

※※※

Klopp was shocked when he saw Calhanoglu's goal off the court.

He quickly raised his wrist to look at his watch and found that it was already the 91st minute of the game...

The stoppage time for this game is four minutes, with three minutes left.

Not really safe.

He was very anxious and shouted loudly on the sidelines, asking the players to cheer up and stop taking it lightly.

It would be really unlucky to be defeated by the opponent at the last moment.

Thinking of this, he glanced back at the bench.

Zhou Yizheng was sitting there. He had been replaced and could not play again.

At the last minute, he still had reservations for the Champions League.

If Zhou Yi was not replaced early, he believed that Dortmund would not even give Hamburg this free kick opportunity.

Now we can only let our players defend desperately...

※※※

After pulling a goal back and narrowing the point difference to one goal, Hamburg suddenly saw hope.

Although they may not be able to win the game, any point is very important on the road to relegation.

Even if it ends up being a draw.

So in the last few minutes, Hamburg launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal, hoping to equalize the score.

Dortmund, on the other hand, shrank across the board and entered the penalty area to defend.

The Yingtai Arena was also full of people, and Hamburg fans were cheering them crazy.

Dortmund fans, on the other hand, had their hearts in their throats, fearing that they would be defeated by the opponent at the last moment.

Fortunately, Dortmund's players were also awakened by Calhanoglu's world-wide kick, adjusted their mentality, and responded actively.

Although it is impossible to threaten Hamburg offensively, it is still possible to shrink the defense with all its strength and survive these few minutes.

Finally, at 94 minutes and 18 seconds of the game, a Dortmund player kicked the football into Hamburg's backcourt, and the referee then blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over! Hamburg suffered an eight-game losing streak at their home court! Scalom's team had a chance to change this result. They played really well in the first half. But it is a pity that Dortmund made positive adjustments in the second half. Bringing the game back into a rhythm they are familiar with... The two teams can be said to have played half a good game each... Dortmund finally won this league before the Champions League. Now they can concentrate on preparing for the Champions League. …But the team’s laxity at the last minute should still sound a wake-up call for themselves…” Marcel Leif commented. "For Dortmund to win this game, there is still a strong element of luck..."

After the game, Dortmund's players celebrated the victory with great excitement, which seemed to confirm Marcel Leif's statement.

The reason why Dortmund won this game was inseparable from good luck.

If Zhou Yi's World Wave hadn't hit Rin Kong's feet, it's hard to say whether he could have entered...

But that’s the way football is, no matter what the process is, the result still depends on it.

If you win, you win, and you get three points.

It doesn’t mean winning is not good enough, winning depends on luck, so it doesn’t count as a win or points.

After this game, Dortmund is only one point behind Bayern Munich for the time being, because Bayern Munich has not played this round of the league yet.

Although it is only a temporary score, it gives many Dortmund supporters hope and a glimpse of the future - maybe this score difference is the not-too-distant future.

※※※

After a difficult defeat against Hamburg, Dortmund returned to their training base, where they will train until two days before the Champions League game before leaving for St. Petersburg.

After the game against Hamburg, this game is what everyone is most concerned about. Also concerned about the weather in St. Petersburg.

It has been cloudy and cloudy these past few days. The good news is that there is no sign of snow in the weather forecast, especially heavy snow.

This relieved many Dortmund fans.

One day later, Bayern Munich defeated Hannover 96 4:0 in an away game, reflecting their strong dominance.

Hannover 96 is completely unable to compete with Bayern Munich.

Commentator Marcel Leif constantly praised Bayern Munich's performance when commentating on this game. At the same time, he was worried about whether Dortmund could "pull a tooth out of the tiger's mouth" to grab the league championship from Bayern Munich.

Before the game against Hannover 96, Bayern Munich had just concluded the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals.

Dortmund is playing an away game against Arsenal.

Facing the Premier League giants, Bayern Munich won 2:0 away from home. Facing Arsenal with one less player, Bayern Munich's ball possession rate reached an astonishing 73%, which is very impressive for Guardiola. Imprint and style.

At the same time, there were fifteen shots in the game, six of which hit the goal frame. There are also nine corners.

It can be seen from the statistics that Bayern Munich has a very obvious advantage.

This Bayern Munich's outstanding performance has made Bayern Munich fans begin to look forward to Guardiola this season can lead Bayern Munich to a higher level and win the Triple Crown that they failed to win last season.

Today's Bayern Munich has been dubbed the "Cosmic Team" by the media, and they have taken over the mantle of Barcelona.

Compared with such a "tall, rich and handsome" Bayern Munich team, Dortmund is like a "loser"...
