72. Chapter 72
If Silva wants to go it alone, he will have to get past the two centre-backs in front of him, Van Bitten and Lucio, who are ready to start at any moment.
On top of that, you have to expect that the other Bayern players who rushed back to the defense will stand still like a wooden stake, like a movie or TV series, waiting for the protagonists to finish their nonsense before they are willing to do anything.
However, no one will give you time to talk nonsense, especially on the football field, where every second counts.
Obviously, a head-on breakout is definitely not optimal.
A player with an excellent big-picture vision, Silva was aware of the problem before he burst into the box, and his ultimate goal was not to shoot straight at goal.
Yan Jing craned his neck to look at Silva's movement route and the Bayern defenders, and roughly guessed Silva's intentions.
The two central defenders on the field of Bayern Munich, Brazilian Lucio is a very good central defender, turning, interception, positioning, prevention and control, chasing and other indicators to judge the level of a central defender, he is in the best.
His only glaring flaw is the attacking heart that the Brazilian players are born with. As a defence-oriented centre-back, Lucio often dribbles the ball into the opposition's penalty area, and no matter what the final result is, the fans will be thrilled to watch.
However, now it is Dortmund attacking, and Lucio in the penalty area is not easy to deal with.
Silva squinted his eyes, he was not far from goal and within his range.
Lucio was clearly aware of this, too, and he hurriedly took two steps forward to intercept and deny Silva a chance to shoot with his feet.
Lucio pounced, but this time it was right in Silva's arms.
Near the small penalty area, the only person in charge of keeping an eye on Villa was the tall Van Bitten.
The Belgian air fighter is tall and muscular, with first-class anti-aircraft and positioning capabilities. His size gives him many advantages, but he also has a fatal weakness that is common to almost all tall centre-backs – turning too slowly.
Villa's back to the haunting Van Bitten, looking up at Silva, met his eyes, and instantly understood his intentions, ready to activate at any moment.
Sneijder's constant cruising with Ribery attracted the rest of Bayern's defenders, and there wasn't much distraction around Silva.
He spotted the distance Lucio had left and made sure he couldn't catch up, so he quickly raised his foot to eat the ball and spun it towards the Bayern goal.
Passing doesn't require the same force as a shot, so you don't need much preparation and can get up without warning, making it really difficult for opponents to guard against.
Lucio threw himself next to Silva and looked at the football flying over his head, and Lucio turned his head sharply to see that Villa had left Van Bitten behind.
"The linesman signaled that there was no offside!" Villa just turned and left Van Bitten behind! he got on the ball before Kahn could save it!
The ball was not yet in the net, but the Dortmund fans at the Westphalen Stadium were already celebrating their goal as Villa, who were holding the ball, were just two metres away from the goal line.
According to Villa's form this season, it is more difficult not to score this goal than to score!
Villa didn't disappoint the fans, he didn't need to make much effort at all, he angled the ball and stabbed the ball across the white goal line before Kahn's big palm arrived.
"Tooooooooor!! Villa's shot was not fast, but it was too close to the goal and Kahn couldn't get there in time!"
After the goal, Villa turned around and found Silva, who provided him with an assist, and the two Spaniards hugged each other.
The fans in the Westphalian Stadium happily sang the goal song in unison, which became the background music of the two Davids' enthusiastic embrace.
Yan Jing hooked the corners of his mouth and whistled pleasantly.
Good job, Guaje.
Karn got up from the ground, wiped the grass from his face, and roared at his teammates.
From the camera, Karn looks like she is blaming her teammates, but in fact she is encouraging them in her usual way.
This scene made Dicker, who has been commenting on football games for many years, a little emotional.
"If it had been Cohen who was in his prime four years ago, Villa would have saved a shot...... But this time he couldn't even catch up with the speed of the ball, and the 'Lion King' was no longer as brave as he used to be......"
Faye also sighed and nodded.
'Kahn's form last season was actually very good, but since Lehmann was knocked out of the main position at the World Cup, his form has started to decline. After all, he is about to turn 37 years old, and his bounce power and reaction speed have decreased......"
After returning to the center circle to restart, the Bayern formation, which had lost the ball, began to fight back aggressively.
Schweinsteiger handed the ball back to their midfield manager, Van Bommel, and Toure immediately stepped forward, and the "groping hand" dangled in Van Bommel's eyes.
This time Van Bommel has learned wisely, he does not intend to go directly to Toure physically, and always maintains a suitable distance, waiting for the opportunity to play.
Van Bommel wants to distance himself, but that doesn't mean Toure will let him get his way.
Van Bommel dribbled the ball to get rid of Toure who was defending him, but Toure kept a close eye on him and deliberately made contact. "Feye is focused on the situation on the field," Van Bommel is 185 centimeters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, but he is not a physical disadvantage compared to Tourebi. ”
Dicker laughed and talked about off-field gossip: "Speaking of Van Bommel, there have been rumors several times before that he might join Dortmund, because his father-in-law was Van Marwijk, who coached Dortmund at the time. However, with Van Marwijk's departure, the Dutchman's rumours of joining Borussia Dortmund have been shattered. ”
If Toure and Van Bommel were to fight alone, the two of them would probably have a five-to-five winning rate. However, Toure did not just fight with Van Bommel, his small movements did not stop from the beginning.
Pulling the jersey, touching the buttocks, pinching the waist, and lightly topping the knees...... As long as it is confirmed that it is not visible from the referee's point of view, Toure often harasses Van Bommel with these small gestures.
From the first time he was harassed by Toure's buttocks, to now almost all over his body, Van Bommel is on fire and his movements are getting bigger and bigger. However, Toure was too cunning, and every time he made a covert move, and he stopped it very quickly, and every time he turned his head to glare at Toure, the other party had an innocent expression.
In this back and forth, Van Bommel, who was desperately defended by Toure, could not play his passing skills at all.
Knowing that Van Bommel was difficult to play, the Bayern players still had to give the ball to the Dutchman - and now of Bayern's midfield four, only Van Bommel has the ability to attack with the vision.
"Mark, this way!"
Van Bommel received the ball again, he looked up at the sound and Mackay was in a good position and raised his hand at him for the ball.
He was about to get up and knock the ball over, only to feel Toure's hand silently pressed to his back and clutched his shirt, and his other arm was still on his waist to prevent him from passing the ball.
Damn bastard!
Toure harassed again and again, Van Bommel couldn't bear it anymore, the fire in his chest was accumulated to the limit, and he exploded and shattered his reason.
He jerked his arm up, ignoring the three-seven-twenty-one, and slammed his elbow behind him.
"Beep-!"
The whistle that pierced the pitch woke Van Bommel to the fullest, and he suddenly realized something, and turned his head back to see Yaya Toure lying on the ground, his mouth clutched, looking pained.
The referee on duty was not far from them at the time of the incident, and Van Bommel could see the elbow of Toure clearly.
Yan Jing immediately asked the team doctor to go over immediately, and the team doctor hurriedly rushed into the field with a medical kit to check Toure's situation.
Facing the referee, Van Bommel hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to explain to the referee.
He knew that the elbow must have hit Toure completely, and Van Bommel himself could recognize this from the pain in his elbow, and he should have knocked the other man's teeth.
Van Bommel hesitated, but the referee was very decisive, he didn't say a word and took out the bright red card from his chest pocket and held it high at Van Bommel.
Red card!
"There was an unexpected situation on the pitch! Van Bommel elbowed Yaya Toure and got a red card! and it's only the 30th minute!"
Bayern's players came around to intercede with the referee, and Van Bommel, who was standing in place, was stunned, he walked to the referee, crossed his waist and laughed angrily.
"Ha, sir, you didn't see any of his little moves before, and now you're going to shoot me out of the game?!"
The referee put Van Bommel's name on the back of the card and pointed to the tunnel with a blank face, signaling him to leave the pitch quickly.
"Yaya, raise your head a little higher. ”
Toure listened to the team doctor's words and obediently raised his head with his mouth wide open, not having time to pay attention to the movements of the Bayern players.
Van Bommel's elbow hit him in the mouth, and Toure put his hands on the ground, inhaling in pain, and he even tasted a little rust.
"Andrey, I think my front teeth may have been knocked loose. ”
Team Doctor Schlenberger examined the front teeth in Toure's mouth and found that there was a trace of blood oozing from the roots, and the teeth did loosen slightly.
He frowned and asked the referee for treatment.
Toure's fall to the ground made Yan Jing completely unhappy with Van Bommel's departure, and he saw Dr. Schlenberger's solemn expression, and immediately ran nervously to the sidelines after seeing the other party apply for treatment from the referee.
As soon as the two stepped out of the sideline, they heard Yan Jing's inquiry.
"Andre, Yaya isn't seriously injured, is she?"
Toure raised his head, saw Yan Jing's concerned eyes, and wanted to say that he was okay, but the pain made it difficult for him to speak, so he could only make an OK gesture to Yan Jing.
Schlenberger gently pressed the bleeding area at the root of Toure's tooth with a cotton swab and responded to Yan Jing smoothly.
"It's really not a big problem, it didn't hurt the pulp. But personally, I still recommend going to the hospital immediately for a minor surgery to fix the teeth, and if I bear the impact again, the teeth are very likely to fall out. ”
As soon as Toure heard that he was asked to leave the court immediately, he quickly pushed Schlenberger's hand away, and shook his head desperately to indicate that there was no need for it.
"Boss, I'm really fine! I've been in this situation before, and my teeth will recover on their own in two days!"
Hearing Toure's words, Schlenberger, as a doctor, gave a disapproving look, and he pulled Toure over to continue the simple treatment of the wound, while "intimidating" Toure.
"Yaya, not every time it will recover, I have seen a lot of patients who felt okay and did not deal with them in time, but they later died of pain. If you want to be able to eat normally in the future, go to the hospital as soon as possible. ”
The media have commented on the most important players in Dortmund's squad, with Thuram at the back, Toure at the defensive end at the midfield and Ribery at the attacking end.
Toure is important to Borussia Dortmund, no one can dispute that. He built an impenetrable barrier in midfield, blocking the enemy, lightening the burden on the backline, and providing a guarantee for the likes of Ribery to open up their attacking efforts.
So far this season, Toure is the only player in the Dortmund squad who has not missed a game and played the whole game, so far this season, so Toure is important.
Still, Yan Jing agrees with Schlenberger. If it is an ordinary skin injury, it is best to treat it carefully if it hurts a part of the human body that is very important to the human body.
"But ......"
Toure pursed his lips hesitantly, and suddenly there was a stir in the Westphalian stadium again, just like when Villa had scored.
So the three people on the sidelines subconsciously looked up, only to see the high-speed spinning ball pass over their retina, rushing into the goal like a missile locked onto the target and hanging directly on the net.
"What a shocking kick !! Frank Ribery!!
