Chapter 212: Ten Goals
For neutral fans, scoring four goals in the opening 18 minutes was a feast of goals.
But for the fans on both sides of the game, it was a little too exciting.
In the stands, except for those upper-class spectators in the VIP seats, the fans on both sides in the ordinary seats are almost no longer seated.
Everyone was on their feet and ready to celebrate the team's goal.
However, although Real Madrid came back from two consecutive trails, the quality of their shots was not as good as that of Borussia Dortmund.
In the 23rd minute, Real Madrid wasted a brilliant chance when Higuain actually kicked a ball from Mesut Ozil into the box and flew off the crossbar.
Real Madrid missed a chance to overtake the scoreline.
And there is a penalty for wasting opportunities.
Just three minutes later, in the 26th minute, Borussia Dortmund had a great chance to shoot on goal.
This opportunity was created by Cheng Hai, but it was not he who shot the goal.
Through a series of shocking breakthroughs, he used the ox's tail to pass, Marseille maneuver, and pedal the bicycle to break through the interception of the three Real Madrid people in a row, whether it was the last defender Carvalho or goalkeeper Casillas, they all moved to the side of Cheng Hai's advance, thinking that Cheng Hai was definitely going to hit the goal.
Unexpectedly, when Cheng Hai entered the penalty area and was about to face Carvalho, he shook his ankle and passed the ball to the middle.
Gundogan, who followed up in the middle, was under the horrified gaze of Casillas and Carvalho, and without any adjustment, he directly volleyed the ball to the other side of the goal.
Casillas, who pounced on the far end of the goal immediately after Cheng Hai's pass, couldn't catch up with Gundogan's shot after all, and finally could only stand on the goal line in vain, and watched the ball fly into the net without even making a save.
In the 26th minute, Cheng Hai assisted Gundogan to score, and Dortmund took the lead again 3-2.
Just when many home fans were expecting the Real Madrid stars to come back and equalize the score, Dortmund finally scored again, taking a two-goal lead and not allowing Real Madrid to equalize again.
In the 34th minute, Real Madrid's forward attack was cut off, and Dortmund played a quick counterattack.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Modric all frantically returned to defend and tried to help the team defend, they wanted to score too much and attack too highly.
Before Modric and others could return to the defense, Cheng Hai had already opened up a shot gap outside the penalty area by cooperating with Gotze's collision with the wall, and then hit the goal with a heavy shot about 24 meters away from the goal.
This long-range shot is quite powerful, and the angle is also tricky.
Unfortunately, Casillas also reacted quite quickly, and even poked the ball straight into the corner with his fingertips, allowing the ball to bounce off the post and back into the box.
Cheng Hai's high-quality long-range shot didn't go in, and many Dortmund fans in the stands and in front of the TV let out a sigh.
As a result, the ball that bounced off the post landed in the penalty area, and Carvalho wanted to kick the ball out of the sideline to clear the siege, but perhaps because he was too anxious and didn't eat the right part, the ball hit, not only was he not kicked out of the sideline, but flew to Reus, who rushed into the penalty area.
Royce, who thought that the ball was going to be cleared by Carvalho's big foot, didn't expect such a good thing, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately jumped to the top and pushed the ball back to the goal.
Casillas, who had just risen from the ground, could no longer return to the sky and could only watch as the ball flew into the goal.
Borussia Dortmund extended the score to 4-2, with Real Madrid two goals behind.
Falling behind one goal is completely different from being two goals behind.
At this time, the Real Madrid stars were even more anxious, and continued to press forward in formation to attack aggressively, wanting to equalize as soon as possible.
But at this time, Dortmund did not fight against them.
With a two-goal lead and away again, Dortmund have the foundation to play defensive counter-attacks.
Lian Cheng Hai withdrew to the midfield, using his defensive position and speed, physique, and tackling ability to help defend, interrupting Real Madrid's attack from time to time.
At the same time, Dortmund also kept an eye out for counter-attacks after breaking the ball.
It's a pity that in the 38th minute, Cheng Hai almost formed a single knife in the anti-offside position, and Ramos pulled him directly to the ground with a tactical foul from behind.
Despite a yellow card for Ramos, a one-on-one chance for Cheng Hai that was almost a goal was ruined.
Although he won a free kick, the free kick was still nearly 40 meters away from the goal, and even with Cheng Hai's ability, he couldn't kick the ball directly into the goal.
This counterattack made Real Madrid startled, and the defenders did not dare to press up and participate in the attack.
However, although there is no involvement of defenders, there are too many stars in Real Madrid, and any flash can score a goal.
In the 44th minute, as the first half was about to end, Kaka dribbled through his trademark stride to connect two people in front of the goal, and then fired a powerful long-range shot from about 20 meters from the goal on the right side of the arc outside the arc of the penalty area.
The ball was powerful and angled, and although Weidenfeller made a save, he couldn't get it.
Kaka's powerful long-range shot went through Weidenfeller's 10 fingers and into the Borussia Dortmund goal.
Real Madrid scored again, making it 3-4 and trailing by one goal, and everyone saw the possibility of a comeback and a humiliating victory over Borussia Dortmund.
However, after scoring this goal, there was not much time left in the first half.
One minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 3-4, with the away side Dortmund temporarily leading by one goal.
The fans, who had been nervous for the entire first half, could finally take a break.
In the first half, the two sides scored 7 goals, and the score was 3-4 so anxious, both Real Madrid fans and Dortmund fans were very nervous.
Similarly, the commentators were quite excited, and sighed at halftime:
"The first half is finally over!"
"Oh my God, I feel like I didn't breathe much in the first half, and now I can finally breathe a good breath."
"It's so exciting!"
"Real Madrid are the Galaxy, Borussia Dortmund are the treble winners of last season, and both teams gave us an exciting and exciting first half."
"With a score of 3-4, the vast majority of games could not play such a score for the entire 90 minutes, but it took only 45 minutes in the first half for Real Madrid and Dortmund to score a total of seven goals to play such a scoreline."
"This game is so exciting, it's really worth it for the fans who stayed up late to watch the game today!"
'I just don't know how things will play out in the second half.'
"Although Dortmund has Cheng Hai, although Dortmund leads by one goal, there are too many stars in Real Madrid, as long as anyone flashes a flash, they can score."
"Real Madrid were also quite united in this game, without the feeling of infighting that they had before this season, and they played very hard.
"Obviously, all the Real Madrid players want revenge and shame."
"However, in the face of Dortmund with Cheng Hai, even if Real Madrid is star-studded, it will be quite difficult to reverse the situation."
Indeed, after the start of the second half, although Real Madrid was stimulated by Kaka's goal and their morale was greatly boosted, the second half continued to bombard the restrictive Dortmund.
And they can indeed create some good shooting opportunities, but the shooting accuracy is not as accurate as Cheng Hai.
In the 49th minute, Real Madrid won a free kick in front, only for Ronaldo to send the ball off the crossbar.
In the 55th minute, Di Maria broke through the wing and crossed the bottom, Higuain's header in the middle rubbed back, and Ozil volleyed at the back post, but it missed the post and hit the side netting.
Real Madrid fans with a bad angle thought that the goal had been scored, and after cheering twice, they found that the ball had not been scored, and they couldn't help but be depressed.
While Real Madrid was attacking aggressively but failed to score goals, Dortmund has been preparing for a counterattack.
Especially Cheng Hai, once he gets the ball, he can form a huge threat to Real Madrid's backline.
Although Ramos, Carvalho, Pepe and others have focused on Cheng Hai, Dortmund is not the only one with Cheng Hai.
After Cheng Hai withdrew to the backfield to participate in the defense, he was a little far away from the offensive line.
But he can use his vision and his ability to play long balls and through balls to help his teammates score.
In the 60th minute, Cheng Hai finally ushered in a good opportunity.
The opportunity came from Real Madrid's aggressive attack, but it was a mistake under the joint pressure of Cheng Hai and his teammates, and when Kaka tried to break through Sebastian Kyle with the ball, he was stabbed out by Kyle with a sudden tackle.
And there were no fouls.
The ball poked out by Kyle fell to the feet of Gundogan, and after Gundogan smashed the ball and dodged the counter-robbing Ronaldo, he passed the ball diagonally to Cheng Hai on the left wing.
Pepe, who was closest to him, immediately stopped Cheng Hai's possible breakthrough route, Ramos and Carvalho also became nervous, intentionally or unintentionally approaching Pepe, wanting to besiege Cheng Hai and cut off his ball together.
But Cheng Hai didn't give them that chance.
Because of his wide field of vision, he has seen Mario Gotze plugged in at high speed on the right side.
Götze started cutting in from the wing at high speed when Kyle cut off Kaka's foot.
Just when Pepe and others were waiting to prevent Cheng Hai from breaking through with the ball, Cheng Hai flicked the ball horizontally, and then before Pepe could react, he kicked the ball diagonally to the right side of Real Madrid's half.
Because right-back Essien was marking Lewandowski, Mario Gotze received a pass from Cheng Hai unmarked, and then took the ball at high speed towards Real Madrid's penalty area.
Cheng Hai's long pass of more than 40 meters in the air was transferred and directly penetrated the defense of Real Madrid.
Despite Modric's desperate efforts to chase back behind him, Ramos in the middle was also leaning to the side and trying to intercept Götze, but Götze's speed was so fast that neither Ramos nor Modric could intercept him before he reached the penalty area.
Then, when he drove the ball into the penalty area, Gotze didn't wait for Ramos, who rushed from the side, to make a tackle, and shot straight at goal.
Casillas sealed the near corner, but Gotze hit the far corner.
San Cassie reflexively sat down and tried to break the ball with his feet.
But Götze's shot was too precise this time, and the ball rolled just past Casillas' toe and was not broken by Casillas.
Then, under the desperate gaze of all the Real Madridians, the ball hit the far post and drilled into the corner.
In the 60th minute, Cheng Hai scored a goal and assisted two goals, helping Dortmund take a 5-3 lead away.
Five goals are just two away from the seven goals scored in the previous round. With a little over 30 minutes left in stoppage time, it is entirely possible that two goals will be scored.
If Dortmund scores two more goals, Real Madrid will really have no face.
If it is an ordinary coach, it may really become a matter of gains and losses, and he is afraid of wolves and tigers, so that the team's formation shrinks back a little to prevent Dortmund's counterattack.
But Mourinho is not an ordinary person, since he has played this part, he doesn't think about how many goals he concedes at all, what he wants is to attack, what he wants is to score.
Now that the score is 3-5, Real Madrid is two goals behind, and there is not much time left in the game, the magic bird not only did not consider the possibility of Dortmund scoring again, but made its own substitution adjustments.
In the 64th minute, Real Madrid made substitution adjustments, Essien, who played as a guest full-back because of Marcelo's injury, went off the field, organized midfielder Xavi Alonso to play, and Kaka and Modric formed a three-center midfield.
Cristiano Ronaldo was promoted to the winger position, and Higuain, Mesut Ozil, and Di Maria formed a four-forward formation.
Real Madrid played a 334 attacking tactic, and Mourinho was already in a desperate position.
Perhaps it was Mourinho's gamble that really moved the heavens, and in the 72nd minute, Real Madrid scored an unexpected goal.
It was Di Maria and Luka Modric who combined up to beat Borussia Dortmund's wide defenders through a wall and then sent a low cross that resulted in Hummels' own goal.
Under the pressure of Ronaldo rushing into the penalty area to fight for the top, Hummels not only failed to clear the ball with his header, but instead headed it into his own goal.
With this own goal from Hummels, Real Madrid chased the score to 4-5 again, only one goal behind.
This goal gave Real Madrid hope of an equaliser or even a reversal.
The 334 attack formation was crazy enough, and as a result, Mourinho not only waved his hand in the direction of Dortmund's goal on the sidelines, but also shouted on the sidelines:
"Attack! Offensive! ”
"Don't be afraid to concede the ball!"
"Attack me to death!"
"You can only survive by scoring goals!"
Under Mourinho's loud command, Real Madrid really pressed all the way and continued to bombard Dortmund's half indiscriminately, trying to score another goal to equalize.
If you can score two goals in a row and turn the score around, then this game may be really wonderful.
However, where is the luck of Di Maria's cross and Cristiano Ronaldo forcing Hummels to set himself up for an own goal?
Behind the onslaught is a gap in Real Madrid's backfield that can be used by Dortmund on the counter-attack.
In the 81st minute, Kaka's long-range shot from outside the box was blocked by Subotic's flying gun.
Coincidentally, the ball blocked by Subotic fell right in front of Cheng Hai.
Cheng Hai stopped and wiped it with a row, passed Modric who ran over to grab the ball, and then strode forward with the ball.
When encountering Ramos's interception, Cheng Hai did not entangle with him, but directly passed the ball to Gundogan, who was following next to him.
Gundogan passed to Lewandowski, who ran out of space in front, forcing the last defender, Pepe, to intercept Lewandowski, and could not do anything to Cheng Hai, who ran without the ball after completing the pass.
Cheng Hai is naturally not unmarked, but this sudden counterattack made the entire Real Madrid team unable to react, and the players in the front court did not return to the defense in place.
As a result, Real Madrid's three-center-back system was penetrated by the cross-cutting cooperation of Cheng Hai, Gundogan, and Lewandowski.
Cheng Hai's speed in the state of running without the ball made Ramos unable to catch up at all.
In the end, Cheng Hai caught up with Lewandowski and Pepe with his world's No. 1 speed, forming a two-on-one scene.
As for Ramos and Carvalho, they were left behind by him with his physique and speed, and Carvalho couldn't do it if he wanted to foul Cheng Hai.
The next thing was simple, at the moment when Cheng Hai was about to be offside, Lewandowski sent the ball diagonally to the front of Cheng Hai's running position.
Then Cheng Hai overtook him and Pepe, successfully countered offside, received the ball a few steps later, and hit the line of the big penalty area.
Facing Casillas, who attacked into the big penalty area, Cheng Hai used his full-value "hanging shot" skill to play a light pick.
After completing the shot, Cheng Hai was pushed down by Ramos, who was chasing behind him.
But that doesn't help anymore.
Cheng Hai's hanging shot kicked out had already crossed Casillas's head, crossed a parabola in the air, and fell into Real Madrid's goal.
In the 81st minute, Cheng Hai received an assist from Lewandowski in a counterattack and scored a goal, expanding the score to 6-4, and Dortmund led by two more goals.
And Cheng Hai also scored a hat trick.
The total number of goals scored by both sides also broke through double digits, reaching 10 goals.
This made the commentators in the commentary seat fall into madness, and shouted with all their might:
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal……”
"The ball went in, it went in, it went ......"
"Hat-trick!"
"Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick! Helped Dortmund take a 6-4 lead, and the total number of goals scored by both sides has broken through the 10-goal mark!
"It's so exciting, today's Champions League group stage may be the most exciting game in the Champions League this season, maybe the final can't be compared."
