Chapter 289: Retribution

In the 72nd minute of the game, Manchester City, who was playing at home, changed again, which means that all three substitutions in the game were used up, and the live broadcast camera was given to Dortmund coach Klopp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Marcel Leif, the German Sky commentator, said suspiciously: "Mancini has played all three cards, and Dortmund, who are leading the score, have only made one substitution, doesn't Jurgen plan to make another personnel change? They still have away league games to play at the weekend......"

The implication is to give Gotze or Reus a proper rest, because Dortmund's away results have been poor this season, and the lack of rotation of key players is a big reason for the consecutive away wins.

In fact, Klopp is also thinking about substitutions, but he doesn't know how to adjust.

Perisic is not in as good form as Reus and Gotze, and he will need time to get used to coming off the bench.

Coupled with the fact that this time period is a high-risk time, any mistake may result in a goal conceded.

While Klopp was considering all aspects, the game was raging.

Not long after, referee Rizzoli blew the whistle and ran to the scene of the incident.

The on-site director switched the camera for the first time, and it turned out that Balotelli and Hummels, who had a war of words before the game, had a verbal altercation, and the two of them had a forehead on their foreheads, like angry bulls.

Instead of giving them cards, Rizzoli warned them to watch out for their attitude towards the game.

Yang 5 commentator Ho Wei said: "Hummels is older than Balotelli, how can he fight with Balotelli like a child? Don't forget, he has a card on his back. ”

Immediately, the live director reviewed in slow motion all the things that happened in the altercation between Balotelli and Hummels.

Balotelli seemed to say something as he passed by Hummels, and Hummels chased after him angrily.

So, the two stood in place, scolding each other until the referee blew the whistle.

The only thing that is fortunate is that both of them only moved their mouths and did not use their hands, otherwise things would not have been resolved so easily.

Immediately, assistant coach Gerliko Bouács walked up to Klopp and said: "Jurgen, Matz has a yellow card, will it be a danger to keep him on the field?"

Klopp raised his eyebrows, remembered the players who had been punished in the past focus battles, and nodded: "Tell Philip to warm up." ”

Half a minute later, Hummels quarreled with Balotelli again, and Tang Zheng, as the captain, pushed Hummels away as soon as possible, and then said loudly: "Mats, what's wrong with you today?

After that, Tang Zheng also pointed to his eyebrows and said, "He has a little problem with his brain, is it necessary?"

Hummels thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he tapped his head and ignored Balotelli's provocation.

Despite this, Hummels was substituted after three minutes.

Twenty-seven on Santana.

Hummels, who was substituted, felt a little dissatisfied, but manager Jurgen Klopp personally pulled him and said: "You have a card on your back, Manchester City's attacking players are obviously looking for trouble on your side, we have to defend." ”

Hummels is not unreasonable, and the manager has personally explained his reasons, walking to the bench with a tap of his head, and then high-fives his teammates one by one.

※※※

The verbal altercation between Hummels and Balotelli was just a small episode of the game, and the most attractive thing was the game itself.

The score is still the lead of the visiting Dortmund, but Dortmund has been unable to expand the score, so the backward Manchester City sees the opportunity to equalize or even overtake.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini paced back and forth from the sidelines, his three substitutions exhausted, meaning that the hope of an equaliser could only be pinned on the performance of his players on the pitch.

In the eighty-second minute, Dortmund had a chance to kill the game.

Reuss, Lewandowski and Tang Zheng passed in succession, and suddenly passed straight behind him from 25 meters from goal, Schmelzer received the ball into the penalty area, and his fake shot shook off Kompany, who came forward to block, but in the face of goalkeeper Joe Hart unbelievably knocked the ball away.

It is equivalent to saying that all the previous actions are 100 points, and the last shot on goal fails.

Schmelzer, who missed the great opportunity, pulled the blonde hair in pain and sighed to the sky!

Dortmund missed a series of chances and finally got their revenge in the 87th minute of the game.

Zabaleta's cross from the right was untouched, and the camera switched and the ball was picked up by Kolarov on the left.

Seeing that there were many people in the Dortmund penalty area, he did not cross directly, but took two steps forward with the ball, and waited until Schmelzer pulled it out before crossing.

Schmelzer pulled out in such a hurry that he forgot to retract his hands behind him, and Kolarov's cross hit his right forearm before bounced off the line.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, Kolarov and the Manchester City fans behind the goal became extremely excited, raising their arms and making loud noises.

From the camera, the whole stand seemed to tremble.

Referee Rizzoli hesitated, blew the whistle and pointed his right hand at the penalty spot.

Penalty kick!

Schmelzer ran to Rizzoli in an emotional state, and at the same time kept slapping his right chest: "Mr. referee, my hand is not open!

"NONONO!!" Rizzoli was adamant about his decision: "I can see very clearly, it was indeed hit in your right forearm." ”

Tang Zheng put his hands behind his back and negotiated with the referee as the captain: "Mr. referee, your position may not be the best, right? ”

Rizzoli did not agree with Tang Zheng's statement, he pointed to his eyes with both hands, and said with a serious face: "I can see very clearly that the football is played on the 29th right forearm to pop up the bottom line." ”

At the same time, the live director gives a slow-motion playback.

Judging by several slow-motion replays, the ball was indeed played in Schmelzer's right forearm......

"The referee Rizzoli judged very accurately, and there was no dispute that the football hit Schmelzer's right arm," Yang 5 commentator He Wei said, shaking his head.

British Sky commentator Andy Grey raised his arms and shouted: "Manchester City finally have an absolute chance!

'Borussia Dortmund had a couple of chances that didn't result in a goal, and they finally got their revenge. Marcel Leff's voice was full of regret: "The game is going into the 88th minute, it is difficult for both sides to score again, I wonder if Roman Weidenfeller can withstand the pressure, eh? Mario Balotelli took the penalty from Sergio Aguero?"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice changed: "Balotelli is going to pass the penalty penalty Aguero?"

The commentators in the commentators were surprised and overwhelmed by Balotelli's snatching of Sergio Aguero's penalty.

Also, the frenetic atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium looks very weird......

The live broadcast camera was given to Balotelli and Aguero one after another, and a close-up of the face was given respectively.

Balotelli's facial expression didn't show any change, but Aguero's face was very heavy.

Fans who are familiar with the two know that Balotelli is unruly, and Aguero is a very well-behaved child, it is estimated that Aguero gave Balotelli the right to take the penalty in order to ensure the harmony of the team.

Immediately, the camera was given to Manchester City manager Mancini.

Judging from his facial expression, it was more helpless.

Whether it was at Inter Milan or Manchester City, Balotelli was always loved and hated.

Perhaps, that's the difference between geniuses, right?

The most classic example is this summer's European Championships, where they faced Spain in the group stage, but scored a brace in the semi-finals to help Italy beat Germany.

Getting back to the point, the penalty has become a fact, and Tang Zheng did not communicate with Rizzoli again, because he knew that it would be a waste of saliva to continue, and he might even attract a yellow card.

After a while, Balotelli stepped back enough to look at the referee.

"Beep~"

The home fans made no noise for fear of causing Balotelli to miss the equaliser penalty.

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller made small adjustments at his feet, dancing his hands back and forth, in an attempt to put Balotelli under great pressure.

But Balotelli is no ordinary man and his focus is entirely on how to score.

A second and a half minutes later, Balotelli kicked the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, and Weidenfeller misjudged the direction.

1:1

Manchester City equalised with Balotelli's penalty!

By the time the game restarted, it was 90 minutes and the fourth official appeared on the sidelines holding up an electronic card with four minutes of stoppage time, while Borussia Dortmund also called for a final substitution.

Perisic replaces Reus, whose fitness has dropped significantly.

Although Klopp's substitution was very attacking, Perisic's arrival also brought the latest tactical set-up - based on defense and waiting for opportunities to counter-attack.

After all, the game has reached injury time, and the current group situation is in Dortmund's favor, and it is not useless to turn three points into one, at least to hold Manchester City back.

If another goal is conceded in stoppage time, it will be an absolute disaster for Dortmund!

Coincidentally, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini quickly asked his players to pay attention to their defense after the equaliser, because at this stage of the game, no one could afford to concede a goal!

One point is better than no score.

The Champions League group stage has only started two rounds, with four rounds to come.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray looked at the game as if it was some kind of agreement, shook his head and said: "The penalty kick in the final stage of the game was the turning point, and it also set the tone for this game, 1:1, both sides scored one point each, very satisfied. ”

Four minutes of stoppage time passed quickly under the deliberate control of both sides.

As soon as the time arrived, the referee on duty Rizzoli blew the whistle of two short and one long full-court whistles to announce the end of this focus battle.

In another game in the same group, Real Madrid defeated Ajax 4:1 away, which means that Real Madrid won all two games in the past two rounds and ranked first with six points, Dortmund ranked second with two games, one win and one draw with four points, Manchester City ranked third with two games, one draw and one loss, and Ajax lost both games and ranked bottom......
