Chapter 158: Attacking Midfield

On the one hand, it is the wonderful performance of South Korean rising star Son Heung-min, and on the other hand, Lin Yu in the audience is so anxious that he scratches his ears and cheeks.

Although he heard the on-site commentary on his evaluation very cool, but seeing the team's score behind, he couldn't sit still, no matter how good his performance was, if the team lost this game, I am afraid that this season's championship hopes will be disappointed.

Since the start of the second half of the season, the rival Bayern Munich has not lost or drawn a game, and like Dortmund, they have maintained all wins.

In the face of such a competitor, Dortmund must not have any mistakes, after all, it is still three points less than Bayern in points, Dortmund wants to completely catch up with the points after their home victory over Bayern, if they lose to Hamburg now, needless to say, it will definitely be a disaster.

"Coach! Let me go. "Lin Yu is a person who can't hold back his thoughts, if he wants to play, he will tell Klopp, and he will not be stuffy in his heart, not to mention that he is now Klopp's proud protégé, and it will not have any bad impact if he asks to play.

Klopp looked at Lin Yu, then at the situation on the field, and finally nodded and said, "Go warm up, get ready to play." ”

Klopp has no choice now, in the face of the current situation of the team, if he wants to hide in the snow, it is tantamount to pushing the team into the abyss of defeat.

I don't know when, Lin Yu has become an indispensable core player of the team in his mind, which is the result of subtle and excellent performance.

However, if he could, he still wanted to let Lin Yu rest for a while, so until the end of the first half, Lin Yu was still warming up on the sidelines......

Thankfully, the score wasn't extended again, which was a blessing in disguise for Borussia Dortmund.

At halftime, the TV commentators were talking about the game.

"The Westphalen Stadium is known as the home of the devils, but today it seems to be Hamburg's paradise."

"The main thing is that there has just been a fierce Champions League knockout match, and Dortmund's players have physical problems, and several main players are unable to play, which is really uncomfortable."

"Alas, it seems that if Dortmund really wants to achieve results in the league and the Champions League at the same time, they will have to bring in a lot of reinforcements, and the depth of the current squad is really poor."

"We have been looking forward to Lin Yu's play, but unfortunately he couldn't play at the end of the first half."

"Sun Xingmin's performance this season is actually no worse than Lin Yu, I don't know what Lin Yu thinks when I see Sun Xingmin's performance like this in this game?"

……

Klopp didn't say much at half-time, because he knew that the players wanted to win just as much as he did, but the objective conditions made them not in a good situation now, and it was useless to encourage or criticize at this time, so it was better to support them silently.

However, in order to change the current backward situation, at the beginning of the second half, he adjusted the lineup, replaced Lin Yu, and also replaced Gotze.

Changing two players in a row at half-time is a rare occurrence in a game, but Klopp knows he can't afford to wait any longer, every minute he waits, his team could fall behind again, and he has to fight for it now.

Seeing Lin Yu and Gotze on the field, the fans who had been silent for a long time at the Westphalen Stadium finally shouted excitedly, they called Lin Yu's name, called Götze's name, these two young midfielders are the heroes of their victories, and they certainly believe that these two players can help them recover their disadvantage.

The fans' expectations were not disappointed.

In the 55th minute of the game, Lin Yu forced a breakthrough with the ball, only to be brought to the ground by a Hamburg defender, and the team won a free-kick in a good position.

Lin Yu is not good at free kicks, so this ball is taken by Gotze.

Gotze stood in front of the ball, although his physical condition was not good, but because he didn't play in the first half, he is now basically the same as those players who played half the court, so he will not be so weak that he can't even kick the ball.

When the referee's whistle blew, Götze was able to do it in one fell swoop.

The ball went straight around the wall and then crashed into the Hamburg goal, which was quite a beautiful goal that immediately caused thunderous cheers from the audience.

"Götze! Kick! Just ten minutes after playing the game, Gotze equalised and we once again saw hope of winning! ”

How can just a draw satisfy the team and Lin Yu?

Lin Yu is now completely sick with the discomfort of not scoring a goal, and he desperately needs a goal to overtake the score, in order to live up to the expectations of the fans, and also to show his ability.

Just five minutes later, Gotze got a pass from the back, then took control of it and tucked the ball straight into Lin Yu on the run.

Lin Yu and Hamburg's defenders chased the ball at the same time, and the distance between the two of them from the ball was obviously about the same, but he still took the first step.

The Hamburg defender saw that the situation was not right and directly put the tackle on the spot.

It was impossible for Lin Yu to dodge at this time, because his foot had just stepped out forcefully, and if he wanted to dodge, he had to use force again, but the other party obviously didn't give him this opportunity.

The Hamburg defender even took the ball and tackled it straight over, and the ball rolled in.

The referee put the whistle to his mouth, and it seemed that he was going to blow a foul, because the tackle action of the opposing defender was obviously a dangerous action, and he ran directly to Lin Yu from the side, and this action could be abolished if Lin Yu was not done well.

But at this time, Lin Yu, who had obviously fallen to the ground, quickly got up, and even controlled the ball under his feet again before the Hamburg defender cleared the ball, and at the same time picked up a shot at the goal.

Hamburg goalkeeper De Broney was quick and actually punched this shot out of the goal.

"Oops, it's a pity, Lin Yu's shot was punched out by De Bronney, he took the opportunity to overtake the score, and also took the opportunity to score consecutive goals."

But it wasn't over yet, because Lin Yu's shot was a bit powerful, and although De Broney knocked the ball out, the ball didn't fly far, but jumped high and ended up in the Hamburg penalty area.

The two defenders in the penalty area, as well as De Broney, ran towards the ball at the same time, but the ball fell directly at Lin Yu's feet.

Lin Yu's ability to judge where the ball landed has always been very scary, and this time was no exception, although he had not moved before De Broney attacked, but when De Broney attacked, others had already changed positions, and the ball flew towards him.

When De Broni saw Lin Yu take the ball, he didn't dare to move, and hurriedly made preparations to pounce.

Lin Yu got up.

The Hamburg defender pushed him straight from behind.

At this time, Lin Yu staggered like a drunk person, if he chose to fall to the ground directly, then it would be a penalty, but after judging the situation, the cautious Lin Yu finally did not choose to fall, but rubbed the ball with his own foot with a very non-standard action.

The ball went high over De Broni's head and into the back of the net.
