Chapter 464: Bloodthirsty Kiev, Open the Lady Luck Aura
……
……
……
The Dynamo Stadium in Kyiv fell silent, the goal was so cold that it made them feel like they were frozen in an instant.
It took them a long time to regain consciousness.
"This ......"
"Damn Chinese,"
"I knew something was going to happen, it wasn't going to be that simple."
"The ball was so weird that I thought he was going to shoot, who knew it was a pass!"
"Ah, seriously, this ball is so good that it deceives everyone."
"There's no way."
'But it's okay, we have the advantage, we can still score.'
……
Dynamo Kyiv does occupy the advantage on the field, if it were not for Zheng Zhi's genius, judging the situation, and having a wide enough vision, this opportunity would be really difficult to create.
So Beinrich frantically rushed out of the penalty area and jumped on Zheng Zhi, this season, Zheng Zhi has given him two assists, and he has completed 4 goals this season, you must know that he only completed 6 goals last season, the gap is too big, as a midfielder, this season's data is simply against the sky, and the first person he thanked was of course Zheng Zhi.
The team-mates flocked to it, and they all did the same, and the morale of being able to equalise in such a difficult situation was definitely boosted. No matter how bad the situation is, they won't be like the beginning.
Dynamo Kyiv coach Babaviski stood on the touchline with a burning eye, and the loss of the goal did not make him half frustrated, and his voice sounded on the sidelines again.
"Chase it back!"
"Keep attacking!"
"This is our territory, we are the strongest!"
The majestic voice is full of power, he is the supreme will of this team. At the Dynamo Kyiv stadium, they are myths......
Beep
In the rematch, Bayer Leverkusen continued to retreat, giving up a large amount of space for Dynamo Kyiv to attack, and they fought back with all their might. There is no way, if the venue is the same as usual, they will definitely not be so weak.
Kyiv Dynamo's attack this time was launched from the middle, this time Husin took the ball to attack, Kossovsky and Kadash formed a triangle attack mode with him, Linkla came back to join the defense, Ballack and Zheng Zhi had one more helper, 3VS3, Husin did not dare to break through, divided the ball into the side, the side was very empty, Berkovic took the ball and drove straight in, straight to Leverkusen's bottom line, Kovac did not make a move, the former crossed, but the ball was easily pushed out by Lamelo.
The effect of the defensive line after recycling has been received, although the opportunity to be crossed by the opponent, but the middle is very stable and not in a hurry. Bayer Leverkusen's defenders have the advantage in height again.
Lamelo's ball fell at the feet of Ballack, Ballack first protected the ball with his body, because there was Kadash behind him, and Husin had already run to Zheng Zhi's side, Ballack could only distribute the ball to Gresco, but Hascovic also quickly followed, Gresco also did not dare to take risks, so he could only kick the ball back to Matisek.
Rebrov in the middle immediately rushed up, Marty Seck couldn't pass it, the pressure was on him, his teammates could still find someone to pass it on, who did he find? There is no time to think and observe, so he has only one choice, a big kick to kick the ball out, he is only responsible for not letting the goal be breached, he doesn't care about the rest, that's the business of his teammates.
Although Zheng Zhi always wanted him to try to stop the ball and control the ball during training, Matisek felt that it was impossible, it was simply playing with fire, he didn't dare to do this, and he didn't think Zheng Zhi's idea was right, a goalkeeper should be relieved of the danger at the first time, instead of playing other miscellaneous things.
Zheng Zhi was not reluctant, indeed, it was too difficult to do this.
What's more, now, Leverkusen does not seem to have such capital.
Dynamo Kyiv's attack struck again, but again it was blocked in the middle, and it could only split the side, and the ball was cleared by a cross.
This situation was repeated countless times in the following half hour, with Bayer Leverkusen defending and occasionally launching counterattacks, but none of them could form a threat, while Dynamo Kyiv was attacking like a tide, but in the end it was thunder and rain, and there was no imaginary bombardment, only countless crosses, and finally they all fell into the sea.
LaMelo, Hap, and Zheng Zhi became the three busiest figures, constantly clearing the ball out, and the three took turns to clear the siege, the first two were okay, after all, they were defenders, Zheng Zhi, as a midfield organizer, could not control the scene, and could only play the ball quickly.
The saddest of all was Kirsten, who didn't take the ball five times combined.
At half-time, the score was still 1:1.
The Bayer Leverkusen players were tired like dogs, and the moment the whistle blew, their nerves instantly relaxed.
"Whew,"
"Whew,"
Barak gasped.
"Mom,"
"It's been a long time since I've played a game that tired."
"It's a devil's home field, and everyone is wearing invincible armor."
Barak glanced at the Kyiv Dynamo soldiers not far away, and his heart was pang again.
"Looks like they're not happy,"
"It's very unhappy with the draw."
"I was tired in the second half."
"yes, there's an even more brutal half." Zheng Zhi, whose face was flushed with cold, wiped his nose and looked up at the gray sky.
There were already scattered snowflakes in the sky.
"It's snowing."
"The venue is more fucked up."
This meant that the pitch was even worse, it was slippery just now, slippery in the second half and the view was blocked!
In the dressing room, Worrall had no new ideas, still holding his ground, no substitutions, no new tactics, and continued to meet the greater challenges of the second half. On the side of Dynamo Kyiv, the peers did not replace anyone.
Beep
The enthusiasm of the Dynamo fans in Kyiv was again high, and although there were only 15,000 fans, the deafening cheers came one after another, wave after wave.
Just like the team, it went straight to the climax as soon as it started.
The sporadic snowflakes had turned into light snow, and the field had turned white, but the game continued because there was no snow.
In this icy and snowy underground, only blood is hot!
Bayer Leverkusen's first attack was quickly dismantled by Dynamo Kyiv, with Ze Roberto playing alone on the left, failing to play his skills and kicking the ball off the touchline. He didn't play in the first half and it looked difficult to show in the second half.
Gresco behind him didn't come up, Ze Roberto could only throw the boundary kick, Ballack was tall and big, and as soon as he won the ball, he was caught by Husin and Kadash, but he still didn't lose the ball, he kicked the ball back to Zheng Zhi steadily.
Behind
A black light and shadow hit me, creating a stark contrast to the white turf.
With a bang, he shoveled towards Zheng Zhi from the side and back.
The speed was too fast, and although Zheng Zhi thought of pulling the ball to dodge, it was still too late. Rebrov still shoveled the ball at his feet, and Zheng Zhi's body shook violently, but he still didn't fall.
There were two long snow marks left around him.
No fouls!
That's a big problem!
Rebrov's adventure was successful, scooping the ball from the heart of Bayer Leverkusen, then quickly adjusting his pace, and when he saw that his team-mate did not come up, he rushed with the ball and decided to go it alone.
If it was usual, Zheng Zhi would not let this accident happen, but this bad venue made him lose the accurate judgment he should have!
He didn't hesitate either, and the moment Rebrov rushed up with the ball, he also turned and chased back.
It's not far away!
It was just over four meters, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he suddenly increased his speed, and immediately kicked out two deep footprints. As soon as he rushed up, he immediately threw out his right leg and slid out with his left foot!
He's going to shovel too!
Rebrov can sneak up from behind, he can, the same risk, he is more confident!
Swish~
Rebrov also felt the wind behind him, but he didn't have time to adjust, as a result, Zheng Zhi's right foot not only shoveled the ball, but also his right foot, and Rebrov rolled forward with the ball.
Beep
The whistle blew.
The referee immediately ran to Zheng Zhi and showed him a yellow card.
The side and back tackled people, the yellow card can't run, if it is placed in a few years, he is estimated to be sent off by a red card, but the current rules are not strict to that extent, just a yellow card, and Zheng Zhi is not going to people.
Zheng Zhi didn't say anything, acquiesced in the yellow card, and then walked to Rebrov in a friendly manner, stretched out his hand, and apologized, pulling Rebrov up with a dirty head.
Rebrov didn't say anything either, but his vision was a little complicated. Who told him to take the lead just now, he played like this first, Zheng Zhi just retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, but I don't know if any of them did it on purpose?
Husin, who was not far away, wanted to appeal to the referee, but when he saw that Rebrov and Zheng Zhi were so friendly, he dispelled his idea.
Actually, Rebrov is fine, if Rebrov is injured, the scene will definitely be different.
In this way, a counterattack by Dynamo Kyiv that could have created a goal was successfully resolved by Zheng Zhi, and the mistake began with Zheng Zhi and ended with Zheng Zhi.
I have to say that Zheng Zhi was too decisive, he did not panic and lose his sense of proportion after losing the ball, but resolutely grabbed it back, no, it should be said that it was a backhoe.
In fact, it is quite risky.
At that time, only tackles could stop Rebrov, and he couldn't catch up just by chasing, and if he chased further, the distance would only get farther and farther.
Dynamo Kyiv's set-piece attack did not pose a threat, and then the game was once again the same as in the first half, with Bayer Leverkusen on the defensive and Dynamo Kyiv attacking with all their might.
The originally white stadium was quickly trampled into a patch by players from both sides. Nobalovsky's voices grew louder and more frequent, but his army still couldn't penetrate the gates of Leverkusen again.
More than 20 minutes later, Leverkusen's defense is still as solid as a dog. At this point, Worrall began to make substitutions, replacing Hap with Novotney.
Hap and LaMelo are the busiest players on the pitch, but LaMelo was rested in the last league game and it was Hap's turn.
Just two minutes into Novotny's arrival, he made another substitution, Ponte came up and replaced the inactive Ze Roberto, who had rested in the previous round and did not contribute anything in this game.
Worrall has changed two players in a row, but Nobalovsky has not made any move! The 11 people are still the same 11 people.
I have to say that the Dynamo Kyiv players really played tough at home.
Aren't you tired?
Enough fitness?
Perverted ......
The game continues.
Not only did there be no substitutions, but the two full-backs of Dynamo Kyiv frequently pressed up to participate in the assists.
Kaladze on the left even pressed in front of Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area!
After receiving Husin's ball, he didn't hesitate to kick it.
Novotny, who had just come on the pitch, blocked the ball with his right cheek! Suddenly half of his face was dirty.
A big face is also beneficial, and this is where it comes into play.
But the ball bounced back at the feet of Karaze, and Karazar shot again!
Knock –
Hit Novotny again!
This time, though, it hit him in the stomach.
Worrall's substitution is amazing, isn't that the mission of Novotny?
Even LaMelo, who was not far away, pinched a handful of sweat for him, and he had to be convinced by the level of this gunhole.
In fact, Novotny was so fast that he couldn't breathe, once on his right face, once in his stomach, and his whole body was stuffy, but he couldn't release it......
Zheng Zhi met the ball on the edge of the penalty area with a big kick, and as soon as he kicked the ball out, Kadash's right foot stepped down.
Squeak,
Kadash's right foot was grinding with snow and was right on his right ankle.
Zheng Zhi instantly fell into the forbidden area.
This scene made almost everyone see it really.
"Ahh
"Damn it!"
Worrall could see it clearly, too.
Zheng Zhidu had already kicked the ball out, but Kadash's speed was too fast, and the court was slippery and he couldn't stop his feet.
Whew~
Heart-wrenching!
This is the heart of Bayer Leverkusen! Worrall's heart froze in that moment.
I don't know what's going to happen, but hopefully it's nothing.
But Worrall didn't dare to take any chances, and saw Zheng Zhi lying on the turf and was scared to pee.
Hairy.
You can hurt anyone, you can't hurt Zheng Zhi.
He used the third substitution to replace Zheng Zhi with Libu.
A draw is a draw! And he just wanted a draw......
Zheng Zhi walked down cautiously, and he didn't know if he was injured, it was so cold, and he really didn't feel anything.
But Worrall was already waiting for him on the sidelines, and took the coat from the assistant coach and put it on Zheng Zhi himself.
This detail is too important.
Nobalovsky on the opposite side looked confused, he has been a coach for so long, and he has never seen a coach who cares for his players so much, what a mother.
I knew I was playing rougher.
But now that Zheng Zhi is gone, this is a chance for Kyiv Dynamo.
Attack on all fronts!
With a wave of his hand, the Kyiv Dynamo went even crazier. There is still time, and now that Leverkusen has less of an organizational core, he can still fight for the ball loss.
But since Worrall chose to replace Zheng Zhi, he was even more conservative. Ballack had retreated to Zheng Zhi's original position, concentrating on defending with Libu, and Link's position was also back in the half, with only Kirsten alone on top.
Holding on to the last ten minutes and getting a 1:1 draw is the final goal.
Both Nobalovsky and Worrall stood anxiously on the sidelines directing the game, their voices echoing in the air, snowflakes crawling all over their faces, their beards almost dyed white, and no one reached out to wipe them.
The danger is still on Leverkusen's side, because it is Dynamo Kyiv who is attacking. After Kadash and Husin played a wall-to-wall combination, they immediately got up in front of the penalty area, and volleyed the outside of the right foot, and the ball almost grazed Ballack's forehead!
With a whew, Matty Sek in front of the goal slapped the ball out of the bottom line.
Haskovic takes a tactical corner, Machini sweeps the middle, and Husin gets up again! Ribu flew to catch the eye, the ball smothered on his thigh and bounced to the left side of the penalty area, and Kaladze bent his bow and volleyed sideways, and it was Kovac's turn to cross in front of him and block the ball with his chest.
In the midst of the chaos, captain Kirsten quickly kicked the ball off the sideline.
Bayer Leverkusen's backcourt chicken flies and dogs jump.
On the bench, although the team doctor was examining Zheng Zhi's wounds, Zheng Zhi's attention was completely on the court. Although he is gone, his heart is still fighting with his teammates.
"Hold on,"
"Keep an eye on people."
He was still talking eagerly, but his teammates couldn't hear them.
Kaladze ran wildly from the touchline and threw a powerful depth charge that headed straight for Kossovski to burst out of the crowd and head straight to the top of the six-yard box.
With a click, the ball's flight path was changed instantly, and it flew to the upper left corner of the goal, and Matiscik's body flew up in the air, but still couldn't touch the ball.
Duang!
The ball slammed into the left post and bounced out, and the snow flew everywhere.
"Whew~0
"Damn the doorpost!"
In the stands, countless Kyiv Dynamo fans were crushing their heads, completely unable to believe that the team's luck was so bad, if this goal was scored, hope would come back, but even God didn't help.
However, the ball was kicked off the line by Novotny, and there was still a chance to attack from a corner.
For the rest of his life, Matisek, who had risen from the turf, roared angrily, and as a goalkeeper, he was almost terrified for the whole game.
"Hey!"
"Keep an eye on people!"
The ball whistled again, and Mati Sek took a step outside the goal, stretched out two slender arms, and steadily took the ball and hugged it tightly in his arms.
At this moment, he really doesn't want to throw the ball out, so let's end it like this!
However, the time was long, and he dragged the time for ten seconds, but the referee's whistle blew, and he ran over and gave him a yellow card unceremoniously.
A yellow card is a yellow card, and it can be dragged a little bit......
The players on the bench from both teams stood up, except for Zheng Zhi. Only he was calm. It's not a life-and-death battle, it's not a championship fight, is it?
Bayer Leverkusen put too few personnel into the attack, almost all of them were active in the half, the attack did not threaten, and they still wanted to pass the ball to consume time, but the Dynamo Kyiv players did not give such a chance, and they were still pounced.
Berkovic, on the left, made a flying tackle on Beinrich and still grabbed the ball. Kossovski received the ball and immediately sent it to Rebrov. Ribu couldn't stop it, and the mess was going to be left to Novotny.
Rebrov poked his toes and ate Novotny raw!
Dada~
Novotny couldn't take care of that much, and he couldn't let Rebrov get through. At the critical moment, he chose to put the shovel!
However, he was still half a beat slower, he didn't tackle the ball, and hooked Rebrov with his right foot! Rebrov collapsed in the big penalty area.
Is this a penalty?
Worrall stretched his neck, but Nobalovsky, who was not far away, was already cheering with his arms raised.
Penalty kick?
Worrall's whole body trembled.
The referee's whistle naturally sounded, and he was worried that the referee pointed to the penalty spot, and if it was a penalty spot, it would be a tragedy.
Novotny, what am I replacing you for?
Send some?
Still getting a red card?
At this moment, Worrall was cold and completely turned into an iceman.
However, in the next moment, he immediately regained his senses.
Since the referee did not award a penalty, he determined that the foul was committed outside the penalty area, not inside the box, even though Rebrov was in the box when he fell.
Under the watchful eyes of 15,000 home fans, the referee was so brave that he could make such a decision, and if his eyes didn't really see it, he would definitely not dare to do it.
Sharp-eyed.
Nobalovsky naturally didn't do it, he was completely angry. In his eyes, it was a penalty, and he roared towards the fourth official on the sidelines.
"It's a penalty, a penalty, a penalty!"
"This damn sentence!"
There is no reason anymore, and there is no respect for the fourth official.
"Blind, blind, blind!"
At the same time, the Dynamo Kyiv players on the field also quickly surrounded the referee to ask for a penalty.
But the referee did not move, but took the red card out of his pocket and gave it to Novotny.
This guy has only been playing for less than 20 minutes.
Novotny was very amused, and walked to the pitch in disgrace, at least not to cause a penalty, didn't he? Let's go down......
After the dismissal of Novotny, the referee removed the Dynamo Kyiv player and then gave Kadash and Husin a yellow card each. I didn't expect the referee, who had been inconspicuous before, to be so tough.
The original decision was still upheld, but Dynamo Kyiv was given a free kick next to the line of the big penalty area.
sigh
sigh
Sigh.
Dynamo Kyiv fans booed loudly.
Some fans climbed onto the fence and tried to lift it, and security guards had to run over to maintain order.
"Bastard,"
"There is a kind of don't leave Kyiv Dynamo!"
"You're good-looking!"
Enraged, they have lost their minds and almost got into a confrontation with the security guards.
Kadash, who was booked, failed to find the ball into the Leverkusen goal and missed their final disappointment.
In the end, the game was still a 1-1 draw, Dynamo Kyiv was eliminated, and there was no hope of the Champions Cup, only the hope of the League Cup existed.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, did not qualify for the tournament despite having eight points. Although Maribo lost 0-4 to Lazio in the just-concluded match, they still have three points and still retain their hopes of qualifying.
Of course, Bayer Leverkusen only need one point at home to Maribo to qualify, but it will be until next week.
Lazio, on the other hand, have reached 10 points and have already qualified two rounds ahead of schedule.
"It's finally over,"
"It's finally time to get out of this damn place."
Barak returned to the bench, his arms outstretched, his head tilted, and he lay limply in his chair.
I'm so tired that I feel like my whole body is falling apart.
"I've never played such a tiring game, it's hell here."
After babbling a few words, he finally turned his head to look at Zheng Zhi.
"How's your foot?"
"Fortunately, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zheng Zhi nodded thoughtfully, he couldn't see anything now, and he had to recheck to find out, it was just a little painful and hot.
'I was thinking that if they played so well on our home turf, we wouldn't have been able to get the three points.'
"They're waking up a little late."
Barak nodded.
"yes,"
'It's a very ferocious team and they shouldn't have lost at home to Maribo without that, God knows what they did. But luckily we lost, otherwise it would have been more difficult for us to play, and anyway, I don't want to be here again. ”
In the locker room, you can still hear Dynamo Kyiv coach Nobalovsky roaring, if it wasn't for the staff who kept dragging him, he might have beaten the referee on the sidelines, and he is still asking for an explanation in the referee's locker room.
"Valery,"
"Valery,"
"Calm down, calm down," the assistant said, wrapping his arms around Nobalovsky's neck and putting his mouth almost to his ear.
"I watched the video replay,"
'It wasn't really a penalty, the foul was on outside the box.'
???
Nobalovsky's old face froze instantly, this news is really ridiculous, right?
After being stunned for a few seconds, Nobalovsky still shook his hand away, shook the assistant coach's arm away, and then scolded with a big grin, "Get out of Ukraine." Then he walked back to the locker room.
Since it was a miscalculation, then he couldn't be arrogant anymore......
Ten minutes later, he appeared at the press conference, and in the face of dozens of microphones handed to him, his anger was long gone.
"I'm proud of my disciples."
"We had a bit of a back, luck wasn't on our side, we could have won."
"Although we have left the Champions Cup early, we still have to fight for the UEFA Cup, and we still have a chance to compete for a ticket to the UEFA Cup."
"We're still in Europe."
"For the rest, I don't have much to say."
In a press conference that couldn't have been briefer, Nobalovsky kept silent about the controversial last-minute decision. At this time, if he attacks the referee again, it is tantamount to looking for death.
Journalists also failed to take advantage of this, and the fiery Nobalovski did not get their way, and then they had to find it back on Bayer Leverkusen's side.
"Rudy, talk about that controversial last-minute decision?"
'No problem, no problem with the decision, I watched the video in the dressing room and it was a foul from outside the box, the referee was quite right, I understand Valieri's anger, if it were me, I would be angry, I would have roared, because it was true that Rebrov fell in the box. At that time, no one could see clearly. Novotny's red card is not wronged, he is the last player, which is in line with the rules. ”
'The issue was in the game, now that the game is over, everyone knows the truth, I don't think there's anything to discuss, we have to give a round of applause to the two teams, and the referees, today's game was tough, but it was quite exciting.
"Of course, I'm sorry for Dynamo Kyiv, they're a really good team, I thought we were going to lose here, it was Lady Luck who favored us, really, I was very lucky for the draw. I wish Dynamo Kyiv a smooth qualification for the UEFA Cup in the upcoming tournaments. ”
Worrall did not give reporters a chance to talk about the issue at all, and he helped Nobalovsky.
"What is Zheng Zhi's injury?"
"At present, the problem is not big, and I have to go back to Germany to do further examinations, and I hope the results are good. Thankfully, everything doesn't look that bad. ”
Worrall's coaching skills were nothing impressive, and his speeches at the press conference were perfect.
'In the other game, Lazio beat Maribo again, which means that Bayer Leverkusen only need one point in the next round to qualify, are you relieved that you didn't get three points today?'
'Of course, back at home, we are still fearless and getting to the second stage of the group stage has always been our goal. Now, I just want to go back to warm Germany with my disciples, it's too cold here. ”
After the press conference, Worrall led the team to the Dynamo airport in Kyiv, where they were to rush back to Germany overnight.
The next thing is to fight at home again, and there is no chance to be lazy at all.
At the same time, all the matches in the fourth round of the Champions Cup came to an end. In addition to Lazio in Group A, La Liga giants Barcelona in Group B accumulated 10 points after beating Arsenal 4-2 away to qualify two rounds in advance, and Fiorentina and Arsenal in the same group will fight. France's Bordeaux also reached 10 points in Group G and also secured a place in qualification, with the remaining places at least waiting until the fifth round of the group stage.
After returning to Leverkusen, Zheng Zhi, accompanied by the team doctor, went directly to the local hospital for a check-up.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and for the sake of safety, the doctor still advised Zheng Zhi to rest for the next two weeks instead of risking the competition.
Over the next two weeks, Bayer Leverkusen have four games at home to Kaiserslautern and Maribo, and away to Wolfsburg and Lazio.
The situation is quite optimistic. The league and the Champions League are not big problems, no matter which field, as long as you get 3 points, the league can continue to rank first, and the Champions League can also qualify, but the Champions League also involves the second stage of the group grouping problem, or Lazio to fight for the first place in the group.
But in the current situation, Worrall probably didn't think it that thoughtfully, right?
If Zheng Zhi is injured, then only Ballack will lead the team alone, and another midfielder, Emerson, although he will be back soon, may not be able to be in good shape.
Luckily, Lucio's injury was almost recovered, and Worrall even came up with the idea of putting a mask on Lucio to protect his nose so that he could get on the bench as soon as possible......
Everything, ok.
