Chapter 67: Penalties
Under the command of coach Jurgen Klopp, Dortmund's attack also improved, and coupled with the frantic shouts of the home fans, Dortmund broke through the Marseille defense and organized a very threatening attack.
"Beautiful! Hummels cut off the ball from Mbia to Remy and handed the ball to Piszczek on the right before Remy counter-attacked! ”
"Piszczek made a beautiful pass, Gonzalez was passed by Piszczek, Gotze and Piszczek combined one-two to split the football to Piszczek who went down the right side."
Piszczek goes down the right and crosses! Lewandowski jumped! ”
"Oops! Mandanda is God! made a wonderful fight on the street, and hit Lewandowski's header with one palm! Just when Duan Xuan and Zhan Jun were sorry.
"Wait! It's Kyle! Kyle gets a ball in the box! Zhan Jun spotted a yellow figure and suddenly smashed into the Marseille penalty area.
"Wow! Mbiya's clearance kicks the ball in Kyle's face! We can see Kyle lying on the ground with his face covered in pain! Duan Xuan noticed that Kyle seemed to be injured.
"This action seems to be a bit big, I don't know what kind of penalty the referee will make!"
"Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Mbia! Borussia Dortmund get a penalty! Duan Xuan was both happy and worried, captain Kyle was the guarantee of the team's defense, and Kyle was off the field, and the team's other defensive general, Bender, was also injured, causing the team's back to be short of people for a while.
The referee ran to the place of the incident and showed a yellow card to the foul Mbia, after all, Mbia's foul caused the opposing player to leave the field injured, and the foul was in the penalty area, so it was reasonable to award a penalty.
Klopp hurriedly asked the team doctor to come on the field to carry the injured Kyle off the court, Kyle lay on a stretcher in pain and left the court, Guan Peng and Gotze and others silently hoped that Kyle's injury was not so serious.
"Jurgen Klopp replaced Kyle with Da Silva, which was definitely a forced substitution that Klopp did not expect, and Klopp has been a disaster this season! First Subotic and Bender were injured, then Schmelzer was suspended, and now Kyle is injured, it seems that Dortmund's championship this season is very affected! ”
"Yes, Zhan Jun, I think Klopp has to adjust the team in time, because it is inevitable and injuries are the biggest enemy of athletes!"
Da Silva warmed up quickly on the sidelines as the Dortmund players stood outside the box waiting for the penalty to begin.
Jurgen Klopp chose the team's defender Hummels as the penalty taker, and Hummels came to the penalty spot with a serious look on his face, which was won by captain Kyle with an injury, and Hummels secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely score the goal.
"Matz, walked in front of the penalty spot, it looks like Matz's expression is very serious, it seems that the goal created by the captain Kyle has put a lot of pressure on Matz!" The Dortmund TV commentator was worried, after all, a player was under too much pressure and could make a mistake when taking a penalty.
After the referee's whistle, Mandanda began to move constantly, as if trying to influence Hummels' performance.
"The ball went in!!!!! Hummels faced Mandanda's interference and fired an accurate volley into the top right corner of the goal! Duan Xuan shouted excitedly.
"Captain, I scored! I've scored for you! Hummels shouted excitedly as he ran to the cameras on the sidelines after scoring the goal.
"Mats, that's great!" His teammates quickly rushed over and knocked Hummels down and started playing Arhat.
"Chris, that's great!" Jurgen Klopp threw his fist several times in a row, and then celebrated with his assistant coach and the players on the bench.
"Hummels faced Mandanda's defense and played smartly in the opposite direction of Mandanda's save, and now Dortmund 2:1 Marseille." Duan Xuan also broadcast the latest battle reports of the two sides to the fans.
The game restarted, the Marseille team kicked off again, Remy and Ayew stood in the center circle to kick off, Ayew received the ball from Remy, knocked the football to Gonzalez, and the Marseille team began to attack.
In the 39th minute, Marseille midfielder Gonzalez received a pass from Azpilicueta, went straight behind Santana, Remy was offside at the same time, 20 meters before the penalty area, a powerful volley was lifted off the crossbar by Weidenfeller's palms, and after the corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Hummels.
The two sides attacked each other several times in the next ten minutes, but they were all defused by the opposing players one by one, and when it came to half-time, Klopp smiled on the sidelines and high-fived every Dortmund teammate who walked off the pitch.
"Good job, keep going in the second half!" Jurgen Klopp smiled and encouraged every player who fought for half the pitch on the pitch.
You know, the Dortmund players who have been fighting for half the game are extremely tired, and now they need encouragement, Klopp, as a top manager, of course, knows the player's heart at this time, so he is undoubtedly doing the right thing.
"Lads, I was very happy with your performance in the first half, I want you to keep up that momentum and I look forward to you bringing me this victory!" Jurgen Klopp began by praising some of the performances of his players in the first half.
"Lewandowski, in the second half I need you to be a threat to Marseille's penalty area at all times, Gotze will help you pull the opponent, off, you need to connect the team's attack, and the defense will be handed over to your teammates!" After hearing Klopp's words, Guan Peng smiled a little awkwardly, while Gotze laughed, and the two played on the side, bringing some relief to this tense locker room.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Dortmund still relied on the home advantage to attack the Marseille team, which made the Marseille team's defense always in a high-pressure state, and Deschamps also repeatedly came to the sidelines to command.
In the 65th minute, Perisic replaced Gotze, who was a little weak, Perisic walked to the sidelines, and Perisic replaced Gotze after the warm-up, expressing Klopp's instructions to continue the attack.
Marseille also made a substitution at the same time, with the Marseille team replacing Mbiya with Sherou, apparently to solidify the defence.
However, both sides are hungry for a win in this game, and neither side will give up until the last minute, and the whole Marseille team is hoping to score a goal so that they can still rely on the advantage of away goals to knock Dortmund out of the competition.
Guan Peng once again opened the system store and bought a bottle of stamina potion, the importance of this game is beyond doubt, Guan Peng is also doing his best, which is why Klopp originally planned to replace Guan Peng, but found that Guan Peng's physical strength was still so sufficient, so he canceled the idea of substitution.
