Chapter 151: There will be a time to ride the wind and waves
The yellow submarine quickly sent a free kick, and seeing it, Castillejo drove straight into it after winning the ball, and in desperation, Schmelzer had to rush to Castillejo, who received the ball, ready to foul first and suspend Villarreal's attack.
Who knew that Castillejo already knew the opponent's trick, and when Schmelzer just rushed up, he immediately knocked his right foot and crossed the middle, and Ben did not give Schmelzer a chance to foul in close quarters.
Castillejo's cross was extremely fast, and just when everyone was worried about whether the Villarreal players could receive the football, suddenly a figure quickly stepped forward, and the speed of the sprint made the Dortmund fans who are accustomed to fast attacks shine!
Dai Zhiwei, who was wearing the pink away jersey of Villarreal, touched his toes before Papastathopoulos faster than his opponent, and the football immediately changed direction and shook Papastathopoulos, who was about to grab.
Then, Dai Zhiwei picked up the speed of his feet and regained control of the ball at his feet.
The Dortmund players on the pitch were frantically returning to defending, while the few Villarreal fans in the stands chanted Dai Zhiwei's name in unison to cheer on his breakthrough.
Dai Zhiwei regained control of the ball, and after adjustment, he quickly rushed towards the Dortmund penalty area with the ball, while also observing the position of his teammates in front.
Borussia Dortmund's backline is also constantly shrinking and retreating, hoping that their teammates will be able to return quickly. But Dai Zhiwei quickly rushed to the edge of the penalty area, and Dortmund's backline could not retreat again and again.
Bender chased down the vertical line in the middle and the pair ran diagonally in front of the penalty area.
Dai Zhiwei flicked his right foot and flicked the ball out with his left foot, controlling the ball beside him and avoiding Bender's steal.
Bender still defended fiercely, taking the route of blocking Dai Zhiwei's breakthrough with his right leg, and blocking Dai Zhiwei's forward route with his body with a kick of his left leg.
"But the ball passes?" Dai Zhiwei judged Bender's defensive intentions at a glance, and suddenly shot with his feet.
All major clubs in European football know the power of Dai Zhiwei's tiger shot, Ben Deming knew that Dai Zhiwei's kick was very likely to be a feint, but he still didn't dare to bet and had to rush over and raise his foot to block.
This is the prestige that Dai Zhiwei has established!
Sure enough, as Bender expected, Dai Zhiwei's kick was a feint.
As soon as Dai Zhiwei rubbed the instep of his foot, the football passed to Bakambu in the penalty area.
The pair made a simple one-two at the top of the Dortmund arc, and the ball was back at the feet of Dai Zhiwei, and this time he didn't hesitate to put his left foot on the line of the penalty area and burst into the ball.
Schmelzer, who came from the right side, fell to the ground and slid to block Dai Zhiwei's shot, but unfortunately the speed was a little slower, and Bilki in front of the goal line quickly fell to the ground to save, which was also a slow beat, and the football grazed Bilky's fingertips into the goal.
Dai Zhiwei's shot was very powerful and very fast, and the football slipped into the bottom left corner of the post against the turf.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
The moment he saw the football enter the door, Dai Zhiwei couldn't help but wave his fist to celebrate the goal, and then remembered the blow gun celebration action of pretending to be forced.
In recent games, Dai Zhiwei's shooting efficiency is not very high, which made the outside world suspect that Dai Zhiwei's state is up and down, which also makes him put more and more pressure on himself.
"I didn't do two games, and I was rusty!" Dai Zhiwei laughed.
For him, failing to score in two games can be regarded as a goal drought.
It was also Tai's 15th goal in the Champions League this season, not including his three in the Champions League play-offs.
Up to now, Ronaldo, who is second in the Champions League scorer list, has only scored 10 goals, even if Real Madrid reaches the final again, even if Dai Zhiwei no longer scores in the Champions League, Ronaldo must score 6 goals in the next 4 games to make Dai Zhiwei's Champions League Golden Boot fall aside.
Villarreal ended the first half with a 2-0 lead, which was unexpected by many, after all, the Hornets at Westlaren Stadium are always hard to mess with.
However, the Villarreal fans who came to watch the game all thought that this time should be taken for granted, after the reversal and elimination of Manchester City, they were no longer satisfied with the Champions League quarterfinals, and Dortmund, who have been in average form this season, are no longer in their eyes.
Tuchel, who was not willing to lose, made two changes in midfield, bringing on Shaheen and Christian Pulisic for Bender and Schmelzer, who had been poor in the first half, in a bid to strengthen his team's attacking firepower.
At the start of the second half, Dortmund, who had undergone midfield adjustments, clearly got up a bit of momentum, using the ferocious counterattack at the beginning of the second half to break through the somewhat lax Villarreal defence.
Borussia Dortmund pulled one back just four minutes into the second half, when Ginter combined with Piszczek to kick the wall and burst into the right-hand side of the box with a powerful shot saved by Helton, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired into the net from 11 yards.
2:1, Dortmund still has a chance!
Escriva called captain Bruno to the sidelines before Villarreal kicked off again in the middle circle, and the henchman hurriedly rearranged his tactics, asking to strengthen the counter-attacking forces of Dai Zhiwei, Bakambu and Castillejo while stabilizing the backline, and not sparing any physical strength to counter-attack in the front.
However, the counterattack power of the yellow submarine is limited to the three people in the front court, and the yellow submarine is still dominated by the defensive counterattack of the iron bucket formation in the rest of the game.
After the goal, they began to play obscene defensive counter-attacks, which has been a regular tactic for Villarreal this season.
After the kick-off in the middle circle again, Villarreal's front three started to attack aggressively and achieved good results after the kick-off.
Dai Zhiwei and Castillejo's active scramble in the front court made Dortmund have two passing errors, Castillejo received Dai Zhiwei's ball, first for Bakambu to pass a wonderful cross, but unfortunately Bilki's "nerve knife" was adjusted to the state of divine power again, and actually lifted Bakambu's close header out of the bottom line, which made Bakambu very frustrated, resisted the urge to hit the post with his head, and finally kicked the post twice with his foot.
The second chance was when Dai Zhiwei received a cross from Castillejo, and after receiving the ball in the middle, he shook off the angle blocked by Papastathopoulos, moved quickly at his feet and fired angrily.
This time, Shaheen made a meritorious contribution and blocked Dai Zhiwei's shot with his body.
Dai Zhiwei once again took advantage of his explosive power over short distances, stabbing the ball first, and was tripped by Shahin's subsequent block at the moment of breaking into the penalty area.
Dai Zhiwei sat on the ground and raised his arms high and shouted, "Penalty!" It's a penalty! ”
Later, through the slow-motion replay, it is still impossible to tell whether Dai Zhiwei's supporting leg was in the penalty area when Sha Xin tripped Dai Zhiwei, because from different angles, two completely different results will be obtained.
But the players on the pitch couldn't see the replay and they still surrounded the referee in the hope of asking for a penalty.
Dai Zhiwei was also a little anxious, this penalty could very likely make Villarreal completely kill the suspense of advancing to the semi-finals in the first leg, so he looked quite excited when he asked the referee for a penalty.
If it weren't for Shahin's foul, he would have been sure of the goal.
It's a pity that this is the West *** stadium after all, and the referee more or less wants to give Dortmund at home a little face, but only awarded Villarreal a free kick a little outside the penalty line, and Shahin's yellow card is inevitable.
The goal was very close to the goal, not a perfect position, and even for defence, Villarreal's two central defenders, Musacchio and Ruiz, did not come up.
"Curve shot? Or is it close to the ground? ”
Dai Zhiwei stood in front of the free kick and seriously aimed at the position of the half-day wall and goalkeeper Bilky.
It's not like he's not scoring from a free-kick in this position, but it's too fortuitous to be sure.
"Fall one and count one!" Dai Zhiwei glanced at the gap in the human wall again, and the next thing was a full-power tiger shot!
His shot went straight to the ground, hitting a close slash, but unfortunately there were too many people in the penalty area, and he finally jumped over the first human wall, but he didn't know whose foot he touched in the back, and the refraction deflected out of the bottom line.
The referee, after consulting the linesman, gave Borussia Dortmund the ball.
"Alas, bad luck!" Dai Zhiwei didn't have many regrets, originally the free kick was mostly accidental, when the referee and the linesman discussed whether it was a baseline or a corner kick, he also ran to his bench and drank a few sips of water, and quickly spit it out.
Dai Zhiwei's way of "drinking water" was only learned after arriving in Villarreal.
In fact, it is better to drink water than to rinse your mouth, mainly because spitting out water actually reduces the feeling of bloating.
If the players really drink a lot of water during the game, then it is very difficult for them not to feel full when they play, and this feeling of fullness will press the nerves of the bladder, so they will not really drink a lot of water in order to be in better condition for the game.
In addition, the water spout can also be used to "trick" the brain. Players can't drink too much water, but the thirst caused by strenuous exercise is unavoidable, and both the body and the brain need a certain amount of water. The human mouth has many small "devices" for sensation, and these receptors transmit pleasant signals to the brain when receiving water.
Therefore, sometimes the human body does not need to drink water directly, but the water passing through the mouth can relieve a certain degree of brain thirst. We usually call this behavior "deception" of the brain, because the human body does not really replenish water, but only makes the brain mistakenly think that the human body has replenished it through a certain amount of stimulation, so as to reduce their mental thirst and ensure that they perform better.
Of course, athletes also need to replenish a considerable part of the water after the game, because the short-term pleasure brought by this gargle is only temporary, and if it is not really replenished, it will also cause some damage to their body.
After gargling his mouth, Dai Zhiwei conveyed the tactical arrangements that Escriva had just told him to his teammates on the field.
There's nothing to say, just start setting up the bus.
Under the strict defense of Villarreal's almost full retreat, Dortmund's scoring opportunities are actually not many, and because of the fear of Dai Zhiwei's counterattack speed, Dortmund does not dare to completely press up, taking care of one or the other, the Hornets can only do nothing to break through the yellow submarine goal.
Borussia Dortmund wasted the best chance of the game in stoppage time when Christian Pulisic's cross from the left side of the box was met by Aubameyang from 10 yards and fired wide of the empty net.
Dortmund, who missed a good opportunity at the last moment, had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of the 1-2 defeat at home in the first leg.
The result was perfect for Villarreal, who not only led their opponents on aggregate, but also had two away goals to score a big advantage – they eliminated the mighty Manchester City in the last knockout round.
After returning to the home stadium, Eskriva has more room for maneuver, and even if he loses 0:1, he can reach the last four of the Champions League, which makes Villarreal's road to the Champions League very clear!
Although Villarreal have made great progress for La Liga in the Champions League, they are really not favored by the Spanish Football Federation, and they have been preparing non-stop for the 31st round of La Liga since returning home, which will start with Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic Bilbao is definitely the toughest club in Europe, and the big clubs are facing them who insist on Basque blood, and they can only take away Athletic Bilbao players by paying liquidated damages.
Whether in the transfer market or in the game, Athletic Bilbao is the toughest nut to crack in La Liga.
However, even if it is an iron bone, Dai Zhiwei has to bite this bone to pieces - because this round is a Madrid derby, this is Villarreal's best chance to surpass Atletico Madrid.
Unexpectedly, the "hard bones" gave the yellow submarine at home a blow as soon as the opening kick - Laporte's goal in the 20th minute broke the deadlock for Athletic Bilbao.
Fortunately, after returning from Germany, Dai Zhiwei was in good shape, and then led Villarreal to score three goals in a row to overtake the score-
In the 27th minute, Gaspar took a corner kick, and the right-footed shot from the right side of the small penalty area by central defender Ruiz flew into the goal from the bottom left corner to equalize the score for the team, 1:1!
In the 48th minute, Ruiz counterattacked and crossed from the side, Dai Zhiwei headed the ball in front of the goal line, and the ball flew into the goal from the middle, overtaking the score for the team, 2:1!
Dai Zhiwei did not choose to blow the gun in celebration after this goal, but raised three fingers on each hand because it was his 30th La Liga goal this season.
At the moment, the only one who threatens him on the scorer list is Messi.
10 minutes later, Dai Zhiwei assisted Bakambu to seal the win for the team, 3:1!
A day later, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid drew 1-1, with Villarreal back in third place on goal difference.
And the next step, their goal is to step into the last four of the Champions League!
