Chapter 223 Shaken

The two games went on with a strange tacit understanding, getting closer and closer to the end of the first half.

Neither Guardiola nor Klopp can sit on the coaching bench. Instead, they stand on the sidelines and use body language to direct the team.

In the 42nd minute, Zhou Yi suddenly sent an overhead pass outside the penalty area. Yan Min stepped in, successfully countered offside, and received the ball in the penalty area.

This time he still chose to shoot himself.

And his shot was once again saved by Hannover 96 goalkeeper Ziller.

Dortmund receives a corner kick.

"Yan Min's shot selection is not the best, but he can always run to the position and receive Zhou Yi's pass... It would be nice if he could handle the ball calmly after getting the ball. I think this is what Yan Min and Zhou Yi The difference. Why does Zhou Yi feel much more mature despite being about the same age? Because he is calm enough on the court." Duan Xin tactfully criticized Yan Min's performance

Yan Min is now the player with the most shots in Dortmund, but he has not brought Dortmund a goal, which is even one of the reasons why Dortmund does not have an advantage in the current situation.

Duan Xin criticized Yan Min because he hoped that Yan Min could perform better and make greater progress, although his progress after coming to Dortmund from China has been jaw-dropping.

But considering the next World Cup, Duan Xin certainly hopes that Yan Min can be more mature. After all, no one wants Yan Min to become the next "Nani" - when Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid, Manchester United introduced winger Nani, who has the same nationality as him. At that time, the media regarded Nani as Cristiano Ronaldo's successor. But it turned out that Nani, despite his great talent, was far from being Cristiano Ronaldo's successor.

The characteristics Yan Min sometimes displays are a bit similar to Nani. This made Duan Xin a little worried.

Yan Min's shot won a corner kick for Dortmund.

Royce went to take the penalty, but Zhou Yi also ran up.

When Royce placed the football and stood up, he saw Zhou Yi's gesture towards him in the distance, which was to take a tactical corner kick.

So he didn't kick the football to the goal, but passed the football to Zhou Yi who came up to meet him.

Because it was a corner kick, all Hannover 96 players returned to the goal. When Zhou Yi took the ball, no one was guarding it.

After Zhou Yi caught the ball, he did not pass the football immediately, but paused for a moment.

While the Hannover 96 players were pressing outward, some were also rushing toward Zhou Yi. It was too dangerous to leave such a big threat unmarked.

Zhou Yi raised his head and observed the restricted area.

If it were normal, Hannover 96's people would just run out and keep Dortmund's players in the penalty area. This is very simple. But today, because he unexpectedly took the ball on the wing, Hannover 96's defensive players were distracted, and their steps were not so uniform.

This gave Zhou Yi an opportunity.

He made a pass with his feet!

A cross from a 45-degree angle sent the football flying to the center of the penalty area.

There, Papastathopoulos leaped high and he was not offside. He didn't put the football directly on the goal line, but gently tapped it back and sailed it with a header!

The football was passed to Hummels in the half!

Hummels was also not offside, he shoveled a shot from the edge of the small penalty area!

The football rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal.

This time, although Hannover 96 goalkeeper Ziller made a save, it was too late.

The football rolled into the goal!

"Hummels!! Dortmund broke the deadlock! The ball was not offside, no problem!"

The hdI Arena in Hannover, which had been noisy before, suddenly fell silent, with only the cheers of Dortmund players and a few Dortmund fans.

Klopp, who had been walking around the sidelines, finally had a smile on his face at this time.

He can take a breath for a while - this goal is crucial and the timing is also good. If Hannover 96 return to home with a draw to rest, it will undoubtedly be a great boost to their morale, but it will be a blow to Dortmund's morale, and the second half will be even harder to play.

And now just before the end of the first half, Hummels scored, which immediately made the Hannover 96 players feel that all their efforts in the previous 40 minutes were in vain... This was a huge blow to their confidence and morale. very big.

After Hummels scored, the TV broadcast showed the real-time league standings.

According to everyone's current score, Bayern Munich still ranks first in the league with 70 points.

But Dortmund went from the original 65 points to 68 points. They are still second in the league, but they are only two points behind!

※※※

Just as Hummels broke the deadlock for Dortmund, Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos fired a long shot from the front of the penalty area at the Opel Arena, Mainz's home ground, and the ball went over the crossbar.

This was Bayern Munich's last shot of the first half and the closest to a goal.

After that, both sides made no further achievements, and the first half of the game ended.

At this time, Bayern Munich's coaching staff already knew the news that Dortmund was leading Hannover 96 by one goal in the away game. Although they did not discuss it, everyone's expressions betrayed their anxious hearts.

Herman Grand even smelled something dangerous.

After Guardiola came to Bayern Munich, he also brought his coaching team. It turned out that all the people who helped Heynckes at Bayern Munich were gone, and Hermann Grande was the only one left. He experienced Bayern Munich leading for almost a season last season, and finally letting Dortmund reverse it.

So what happened today felt very familiar to him.

This familiar feeling is unpleasant.

Guardiola suddenly walked up to Hermann Grande, put his hand over his mouth and leaned into his ear and said: "Don't let anyone tell the players the score of the Dortmund game. If they ask, just say they don't know. .”

Grande nodded.

He understands why Guardiola does what he does. In the last game, the players only watched the live broadcast of Dortmund's game for a few minutes at the last moment, and they were distracted for almost half the game. If they knew that Dortmund was already in the lead when they were struggling here in this game, they probably don't know how it would affect their condition.

At critical moments, Guardiola has to do extraordinary things.

But Grande understood better, and the feeling of danger in his heart became stronger - had Guardiola ever made such a special arrangement before?

He is always full of confidence and doesn't care what his opponents are like. He puts himself first. Under his leadership, Bayern Munich has had the most successful start to the league. So far, the league has maintained an unbeaten streak of 25 rounds, which is the best start to the Bundesliga season. In these 25 rounds of the league, Bayern Munich achieved a terrifying result of 22 wins and three draws, with a winning rate of 88%, which is unmatched in the five major European leagues.

Such brilliant results have always been the basis for supporting the confidence of this team.

But today, when Guardiola covered his mouth and said these words to him, then lowered his head and walked past him, stroking the back of his neck, Herman Grande suddenly felt that the foundation under his feet seemed to be ...shaking, not so solid.

※※※

The first half of both games ended at about the same time.

After Bayern Munich blew the first-half whistle, Dortmund's first half also ended soon after.

Everyone also knows that on the other side, the game between Bayern Munich and Mainz is still o:o, without any changes.

Everyone knows what this means.

The players' faces were filled with joy.

But after entering the locker room, Klopp slammed the door with a straight face.

"Don't be too happy! There are still forty-five minutes in the game! We are only leading by one goal! Everything is possible! Don't lose the game because of your complacency during the halftime break. I won't do it easily." I’ll spare you!”

"Now focus all your attention on this game and don't worry about other messy things!"

Klopp did not directly mention Bayern Munich, he hoped to express his attitude in this way - he did not even bother to mention Bayern Munich's name, and the players had better not think about it.

Apart from defeating the opponent in front of them, they don't need to worry about anything else.

be oneself.

If you don't do your best, it will be useless even if your opponent gives you a hundred chances.
