Chapter 249: It's Time to Take Off!

The live director gave a slow-motion replay, Piszczek's cross hit the bottom line solidly behind Mascherano's arm, and the central 5 commentator He Wei was extremely dissatisfied and said: "Did the referee Kupes really not see it?

"Oh-Shit!!......! Is it really reasonable for the referee to refuse to award penalties in a row?" Marcel Leif said incoherently: "Seeing this scene, I am reminded of the 2008-2009 Champions League semi-finals, when Chelsea ignored many penalty opportunities throughout the game!"

Tang Zheng in the broadcast camera is exactly like a copy of Balak back then, running in front of the referee Kupes at a speed of 100 meters, patting his left arm excitedly, and roaring almost crazy: "Don't you see it?

Other Dortmund also gathered around the referee on duty to ask for a penalty. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Woo-woo-"

The Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, creating a deafening boo to detonate the atmosphere as much as possible.

The best outcome for them was that referee Kupes couldn't stand the Dortmund player's appeal and showed one or two yellow cards.

Of course, it's better to have a straight red card, and it's also against the Borussia Dortmund captain.

Perhaps it was because of Kupès's weakness that he did not give a card or even a warning in the face of the Dortmund players' almost emotional outburst of words and actions.

The Dortmund players were very unhappy with referee Kuppers's decision, but the veteran Andrea Pirlo was quite calm, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller ran for most of the pitch to distract his emotionally uncontrollable teammates.

With the assistance of the assistant referee, most of the Dortmund players reluctantly walked to the players' tunnel.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp complained about the inaction of the referee on duty with the fourth official.

Thankfully, assistant coach Gerliko Bouis and strength and conditioning coach Oliver Bartlett kept an inch out of the emotional Klopp, and they tried to pull Klopp back to the tunnel after protests were ineffective.

At the same time, the commentators on the scene also gave various comments on the referee's decision.

If one obvious penalty is not awarded, two in a row is a bit too much.

Besides, Dortmund is currently leading by two goals, and there is still one goal away from reversing and advancing to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League.

The unwarranted penalty kick at the Westphal Lun Stadium in the first leg, and now two consecutive penalties have not been awarded in the away game, and the huge contrast performance does not allow the on-site commentators to give full play to their imaginations?

The Catalan TV commentators all felt blushing and deliberately changed the topic: "At the end of the first half, Barcelona at home is only one step away from being eliminated, Josep must make adjustments at halftime, otherwise the reversal of the home game by Dortmund is very likely!"

Away team locker room.

Members of the Dortmund coaching staff and 11 starters were unhappy with the referee's performance in the second half of the first half, with two clear penalties not awarded.

The hot-tempered Subotic kicked the stool next to his leg in anger, shattering the ground with a "snap".

"I feel like we're being targeted!" Schmelzer instigated with a mouthful of saliva and spat on the ground.

"Obviously, someone wants to escort Barcelona!" said Gotze, who has always been a man of few words.

"Hey~ Forget it, pack up your mood and prepare for the second half. Tang Zheng sighed, then clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were firm: "I don't believe it! We can't win Barcelona!"

"Don is right!" said Coach Kloppland: "We have proven that we have the ability to qualify! I believe that the team that will eventually advance to the last four will be Dortmund!"

After that, Klopp's voice changed and praised Tang Zheng and Lewandowski, who scored goals respectively.

Other players are naturally included in his praise, and football is a team sport, and individual ability is never as good as a team.

Finally, Jurgen Klopp briefly spoke about the minor tactical adjustments made in the second half.

Home team dressing room.

The Barcelona players were almost all grim-faced and in a bad mood.

Coach Pep Guardiola has never been good at inciting players' emotions, he sighed, clapped his palms, regardless of whether the players were listening or not, and said to himself: "In the first half, our main confidence was not very high, the 3-1 victory away led to unstable mentality, and in the second half we had no choice! If it wasn't for the referee's hesitation, we would be finished! We are Barcelona! We are not allowed to rout at home......"

※※※

Fifteen minutes into the break, it was not known what the managers of both sides said in the dressing room, and the TV commentators with live broadcast rights reviewed the end of the first half.

Borussia Dortmund played with their characteristics and strengths, while Barcelona, who had home advantage, played a big game.

However, it was referee Kupes who ignored the obvious fouls and handballs of the centre-back duo of Pique and Mascherano respectively.

Not to mention that both obvious penalties were blown off, even if only one of them was blown for Dortmund to lead by three goals, the second half of the game would be even more beautiful.

If Barcelona are once three goals down at home, they have no choice.

In the chatter of the commentators, fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players from both sides of the game slowly walked back to the field.

Barcelona, who are behind by the score, have no intention of making substitutions, and Dortmund, who are leading away, have no reason to make substitutions.

Both the fans in front of the stadium and the fans in front of the TV were looking forward to the start of the second half.

Barcelona fans are a little worried, Dortmund fans are nervous and full of anticipation, expecting the team to create a miracle!

What about losing at home?

Just come back away from home!

The frenetic atmosphere at the Camp Nou was far less frenetic than it was at the start of the tournament due to the lack of support from the home team, which can accommodate nearly 100,000 fans at this time, more like a small stadium with a capacity of only a few thousand.

Before the restart of the second half, the live director captured a very interesting shot - the visiting coach Jurgen Klopp came to the fourth official, said a few words, and then patted the fourth official on the shoulder.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's eyes lit up, he said: "If you don't guess wrong, this is the pressure that Klopp put on the referee on duty before the start of the second half, and the two penalties in the first half were not awarded, which should not be!"

Barcelona, who had the advantage of kick-off, were not in a hurry to pass the football to the front of the pitch, and they continued to attack in their own way, giving the impression that they were ahead rather than behind.

Dortmund did not make many tactical adjustments, they limited the play of Barcelona's brain Xavi according to the high press in the first half, and the lack of a strong center forward in Barcelona's tactics was infinitely magnified.

Although he maintained control of the football, he did not have the attack to threaten Weidenfeller's goal.

Five minutes passed quickly, during which only Messi's weak shot was easily denied by Weidenfeller.

The Catalan TV commentator hesitated a little and said: "Should Josep consider substitutions? The goal conceded in the first half seems to be caused by Leao playing alone, but in fact, only Leao is in good shape in the forward line, and Alexis and Pedro are not in the best ......."

If Pedro and Sanchez had heard those words, they would have retorted that it wasn't that they weren't good enough, but that football rarely passed to their feet.

Nevertheless, in the 53rd minute of the game, Barcelona were the first to make a substitution.

Cesc Fabregas replaces the underperforming Sanchez.

Sanchez, who was substituted on the field, looked helpless, he wanted to show a performance, but the football could not reach his feet, what could he do?

※※※

Cesc Fabregas's substitutions went a long way towards easing the pressure on Xavi and Andres Iniesta, especially Xavi.

Much of the reason why Dortmund were able to limit Barcelona's attack in the first half was because Xavi was frozen.

Now Cesc Fabregas comes off the bench and his vision, passing and imagination can help Barcelona.

Compared to Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas's presence could add Barcelona to the midfield pick-up and free up Pedro.

No, Cesc Fabregas created a chance not long after he came on.

The retreating Messi was strictly guarded by Tang Zheng, and he did not continue to compete with Tang Zheng, but handed it over to Xavi in the middle.

Gundogan came out for the first time, Xavi immediately handed the football to Iniesta, Gundogan turned another corner and ran towards Iniesta, and Dortmund's overall defense slowly moved closer to the middle.

Fabregas, who came on as a substitute, slowly ran to the left side of the attack, forming a triangle with Xavi and Iniesta, and Iniesta knocked the ball directly to Fabregas without stopping.

Almost everyone thought Cesc Fabregas was just one of Barcelona's passing points, but he didn't, and he came on with Pep Guardiola's latest instructions to become the team's main attacking point.

In other words, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and others will have to give up the ball, and Cesc Fabregas will temporarily take over the core position.

Dortmund's defense moved closer to the middle, resulting in a shortage of wing defenders, Fabregas flicked the outside of his right foot to the right, and his body faced his own side to attack the right side, making enough posture to shift the direction of attack.

Suddenly, his right foot slammed the ball back and sent a through ball to the left, which was cut in at high speed by left-back Adriano.

Piszczek hurriedly pulled it out again, Adriano looked up at the box, but the pass was headed towards Pedro in the left corner of the box.

"Whew-"

Barcelona's successive passes left Pedro unmarked for the time being, and the home fans at the Camp Nou rarely erupted into loud cheers.

Accompanied by the chanting that erupted at the Camp Nou, Pedro assumed a true pass and the ball passed under the feet of Hummels, who jumped up to block the shot, and rolled towards Messi, who slid diagonally into the left side of the box.

"Messi, Messi!!," the Catalan TV commentator's voice added obvious anticipation.

Many Barcelona fans at the scene excitedly raised their arms and prepared for the action in advance.

Messi picked up his golden left foot as he ran and shot from about eleven yards out.

But just then, a long leg stopped in his shooting path with lightning speed, and the ball bounced off the bottom line.

"Whoa, whoa—"

The cheers that erupted at the Camp Nou instantly turned into a huge cry of regret.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller reached out and wiped his forehead with palpitations, and let out a sigh of relief.

In the pre-match preparation, Messi had a high shooting percentage in this area.

If Barcelona pull a goal back less than 10 minutes into the second half, the chances of a comeback to advance will be greatly reduced.

Messi looked at Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the ground arranging his socks, and spit out a mouthful of saliva on the ground helplessly.

Whether it is this game or last year's European Super Cup, this damn Chinese has been keeping a close eye on himself, refusing to give even a trace of space.

The moment he raised his foot to shoot just now, he thought he was going to score, but he killed a Chen biting gold halfway, and the football hit Tang Zheng's calf side and bone, popping up on the bottom line.

At the same time, the on-site commentator came again to praise Tang Zheng's demonic performance.

If it weren't for his perseverance, I think Barcelona would have pulled a goal back at home!"

"Don's defense allows us to see the timely block against AC Milan in the Champions League 1/8 finals, if he doesn't stop in the first leg, I think it will be difficult for Barcelona to score!"

"In the Bundesliga, he is known as Bayern's nemesis, and in Europe, he can be a Barsac star! No one can score in front of him, not even Messi, the number one man in the world!"

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp immediately grabbed Reus's arm, who was about to play, while feeling happy: "Marko, after coming on the field, remind your teammates on the field to be focused, Don's position is a little more retractable, let Ilkaj move forward, let him pay attention to Fabregas's space." ”

Royce tapped his chin and turned to the side of the fourth official, waiting to play.

Barcelona's corner kicks are still short corners, they have a significant height disadvantage, and passing high balls is tantamount to giving up possession.

Barcelona failed to create good chances through a series of passes, which ended in Pedro slotting a long-range shot over the crossbar.

Immediately, referee Kupes pointed to the sidelines, signaling that someone wanted to change.

Dortmund made a substitution that was not surprising, but it was a surprise that Reus replaced Gotze instead of Kuba.

In fact, in terms of the contribution to the team in this game, Kuba is much better than Gotze.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kuba is more motivated and fast than Gotze.

Coupled with Reuss, who came off the bench, Dortmund's quick counterattack is really about to take off!

The game continued, Dortmund controlled the first drop point, and Lewandowski pressed Pique to top the ball to Tang Zheng.

The formation then unfolded and moved forward.

And the shortcomings of replacing Gotze are gradually becoming apparent, because there are fewer playmaking points in the frontcourt.

Lewandowski, who received the football, found that there was no good passing point, so he simply turned and shot at the end of the penalty area.

The ball goes off the post, Barcelona goal kick.
