Chapter Twenty-Four: Falling Behind Again
Gotze saw Costanzo attack, smiled slightly, and gently picked up the football, which crossed his body with a desperate arc that made Costanzo despair, and saw Lewandowski facing a domineering header of the football, and the football rushed to the net with great force.
"GOOOOOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!, LEWANDOWSKI, LEWANDOWSKI SCORED A BEAUTIFUL GOAL, HE FACED GÖTZE'S PASS, JUMPED AND PUT THE BALL INTO THE GOAL!" Borussia Dortmund's home commentator shouted passionately, and the fans at the scene also cooperated with him.
"Lewandowski!"
"Lewandowski!"
The Pole also waved his hands at the Dortmund fans in the South Stand with excitement, and the fans replied to him with even more enthusiasm, this was the Pole's first goal in the Champions League, which was very important to him.
Lewandowski turned around and hugged Guan Peng, Gotze and others who ran over one by one, and the Dortmund players showed their unity to the media and fans.
"The ball went in!! Dortmund finally scored a goal, I have to say that Lewandowski's goal is very timely, if there is no goal but Olympiacos scored another goal, it will be dangerous! Duan Xuan excitedly explained to the fans on TV.
At this time, the coach of Olympiacos on the other side, Valverde, kicked the water bottle in frustration, expressing his dissatisfaction, after all, his team was still very good at the beginning.
It's a pity that the overall strength is still a little behind Dortmund, and Gotze and Lewandowski used their strong individual strength to score a goal.
"Sir, please pay attention to your movements, otherwise, we will let you leave the scene!" At this point, the fourth official came over and warned Valverde.
"At this time, Dortmund need to take advantage of the high morale of this goal, score another goal to secure the lead, and at the same time look forward to the opponent's counterattack." Duan Xuan was analyzing on the side.
Olympiacos strikers Milaras and Holebas kicked off in the centre circle, and it has to be said that the Greek team's defense is definitely very strong, and the execution of the players is also extremely high.
Olympiacos's midfielder Jebr received a return pass from his teammate Mirallas, and in the face of Lewandowski's pressing, he passed the football backwards to the central defender Melberg, who continued to press forward, Melberg, as a veteran player with rich experience, easily avoided Lewandowski's pressing, and directed the football forward while directing his teammates to actively move forward.
However, when the football was passed to Holebas by Jebrour, Bender found out that his intention was cut off in time, and passed the football to the demanding Guan Peng, who looked up at the position between the two players, and sent the football to Perisic on the left and ran forward himself.
After Perisic got the ball, he faced Markano's defense and pedaled on the football continuously, and suddenly, Perisic forced past Markano's defense with his excellent explosiveness, burst into the vicinity of the sideline of the big penalty area to attract Melberg to come to make up for the defense, and then handed the football to Lewandowski who retreated to the penalty line.
Lewandowski used his body to stand up to Papadopoulos's defense and distributed the football to Guan Peng, who had already arrived at this time, and Guan Peng faced the football with a long-range shot.
"Guan Peng shot, can this goal be scored?" Duan Xuan raised his voice.
"Oops, it's a shame that the football was poked out of the border with the tips of his fingers by Costanzo, who was highly concentrated." Duan Xuan said with annoyance.
As a commentator, although he has commented on many Champions League games, this is the first time Duan Xuan has commented on a Champions League game with Chinese players, and he really hopes that Guan Peng will score a goal, which can save some face in Chinese football.
Guan Peng also covered his face with both hands, and Guan Peng also felt that he felt great when he shot just now, but unfortunately, he was still stabbed out of the goal by the opponent's goalkeeper.
"Whew!!!" Costanzo got up from the ground, beating his chest with both hands, and his teammates all ran over to pat his body, after all, Costanzo's save just now was too crucial, and if Dortmund scored another goal, Olympiacos would be in danger.
Valverde on the sidelines was also very excited, and when he shot just now, Balverde almost thought that his team's goal was about to be breached.
The celebration was short-lived, though, as Costanzo had already arranged for his team-mates to prepare to defend Dortmund's corner.
Klopp on the sidelines was undoubtedly happy in vain, thinking that Guan Peng's shot just now had scored, but it was saved by Costanzo.
This rollercoaster-like stimulation really made Klopp a little unbearable, and directly kicked the water bottle in front of him, Klopp's footwork was still good, and he directly kicked the mineral water bottle to the head of the fourth official.
Klopp hurriedly apologized, after all, if he was expelled from the fourth official, his team would be in danger.
A football coach must have a strong heart, and if you have a heart condition, you should leave the job as soon as possible, like Bosque who fainted on the pitch due to a heart attack.
Götze, who was in the corner area of Olympiacos, held out a finger to indicate the execution of the number one tactic, and saw the Dortmund players start to run aggressively.
The football was driven out by Gotze, and the first drop was grabbed by Hummels, who did not attack the goal directly, but pushed the football out of the penalty area, and Kyle outside the box had been waiting for a long time with a bow and arrow, and shot directly at the goal.
However, today, Costanzo's performance was like a god, and he magically held the football out of the goal with the palm of his hand again.
"Wow! It's unbelievable! Olympiacos' goalkeeper was a god today, two world-class saves in a row, today I would say that the best performance is not the striker, nor the midfielder, but the goalkeeper from Greece Costanzo, I think after this game, this goalkeeper will definitely be famous! Duan Xuan commented in surprise on TV.
Dortmund failed to score on two consecutive occasions and Olympiacos began to counter-attack.
Olympiacos' midfielder Marcón cut off Guan Peng's pass to Lewandowski and passed the ball forward to Jebel.
After winning the ball, Jebr cleverly evaded Kyle's pressing and passed the ball to Holebas, who dribbled down the right flank and faced Piszczek's defence, making a quick stop to shake off space before passing the ball to the other side of the pitch.
By this time, Olympiacos striker Milaras had withdrawn to the line of the penalty area and unloaded the ball after receiving a pass from Holebas.
Hummels had defended forward and Mirallas took advantage of Hummels' slow pace to pass Hummels and play the ball into the box.
Jebr received a cross from Mirallas on the right side of the box and calmly volleyed home to give Olympiacos another lead and 2-1 ahead of Borussia Dortmund.
