Chapter 346: A Savior-like Man
After Shaheen came on the pitch, Dortmund did not make any tactical adjustments, but continued to maintain the previous defensive counter-attacking style of play.
However, soon, Dortmund was pressed and couldn't even counterattack, and players like Yan Min and Aubameyang who played counter-attacks all returned to their own penalty areas to help defend.
If they don't, there is a good chance that Dortmund will not be able to withstand Real Madrid's onslaught.
Real Madrid had a succession of shots on goal. At this time, don't pay attention to the organization of the attack, as long as you can form a shot, it is a successful attack.
Only enough shots on goal will have it possible to score for Real Madrid.
In this way, Dortmund struggled to survive under the indiscriminate bombardment of Real Madrid, and the game came to injury time.
The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines, and there were four minutes of stoppage time!
Boos rang out from the stands at the same time.
Borussia Dortmund fans thought that the stoppage time was too long, and they wished they didn't make up for it for a second and blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Real Madrid fans are also booing because they feel that stoppage time is too short and that according to their thinking, it should be made up until they score the equaliser......
At 93:31, Real Madrid won a corner, which Modric came to take in.
This may be Real Madrid's last chance to attack in this game, so even goalkeeper Casillas rushed into the box, ready to contribute a little bit to the team's attack.
This time, Zhou Yi did not stand outside the penalty area and wait to grab the second landing point, but retreated into the penalty area.
He used to stand outside the box to make it easier to counter-attack.
But now there is no counterattack to fight, and there is no point in standing outside the penalty area at this time. Although he is not physically strong, and his height is not tall enough, he can't take advantage of competing with others. But that doesn't mean he's useless in corner defence.
He could free his teammates in a different way.
For example, he was at the back post so that full-back Piszczek didn't have to stay here and he could go to the goal.
In fact, it was already crowded in front of the goal, with players from both sides inside, dragging each other next to each other, and some people reached out to hug their opponents when the referee was not paying attention.
To that end, referee Skipes also blew the whistle for a timeout of the game, and then signaled to the players on both sides not to have extra physical contact.
His move drew boos from the Real Madrid fans in the stands, who thought Dortmund were stalling for time.
In the second half, behind the Dortmund goal was an area where Real Madrid fans gathered.
After a brief hiccup, the penalty was finally available.
The fans on both sides, who had been noisy before, fell silent and watched intently into the stadium...... Or to be exact, looking at Borussia Dortmund's goal.
Players from both sides on the pitch were ready to compete for the top.
As Quipes' whistle blew, Modric kicked the ball towards goal.
Borussia Dortmund's goalmouth also descended into chaos with the arrival of football, with the likes of Ramos, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo certainly being taken care of.
Despite this, there will be a mistake in the hundred. When Bale sprinted from behind and jumped over the heads of a host of Temund players, it still made the Dortmund fans feel fear and despair - it would be a great deal if he had been on the top!
But Bale still really got the ball on top, and he even hit the ball when no one was defending.
A powerful lion shook his head and the football was thrown into the back corner of the goal!
Gareth Bale ββ!!
The Spanish commentator couldn't help but chant as Bale jumped, and he was ready to go on to shout for a goal.
When the ball flew towards the goal, many Dortmund fans fell into a deep state of despair.
The ball was pushed towards the goal by Bale, then smashed on the underside of the crossbar, bounced down, and it was about to bounce into the goal!
At this critical moment, Zhou Yi, who was guarding the back post, jumped up and pushed the falling football out with his head!
"Zhou Yi!!" He Ping applauded. "A goal-line clearance!
"Oooo "Zhou Yi not only helps the team offensively, but also prevents Real Madrid's last chance to score defensively! He is simply the savior of Dortmund! Real Madrid's real nemesis!"
The Dortmund fans in the stands cheered, but the Real Madrid fans and players disagreed.
The football that was pushed out by Zhou Yi was then kicked out of the sideline by Royce.
The Real Madrid players did not rush to send the throw-in, but surrounded the referee, and they complained to the referee, believing that before Zhou Yi's header cleared, the football had passed the line as a whole, and the goal should be considered a goal......
As a result, there was a temporary hiatus to the competition.
At this time, the clock is still going on minute by minute, and if Real Madrid's appeal is not successful, then they will give up the last chance to attack.
But Real Madrid must appeal because this is the closest they have come to scoring.
If the appeal is successful, they will equalise.
Seeing Real Madrid like this, Dortmund's players also gathered around.
Zhou Yi was naturally among them, and he told the referee that when he topped the ball, the football definitely did not cross the line as a whole.
The rules of football are not static, they are constantly changing. Previously, the decision on whether a soccer ball went into goal was marked as long as two-thirds of the projected area of the soccer ball crossed the innermost edge of the goal line.
Now FIFA has changed the rules to say that the projection area of the football must all cross the edge of the goal line to be considered a goal, even the slightest intersection.
So according to the rules, the focus of whether the ball is scored or not is to see whether the projected area of the goal crosses the line as a whole.
At this time, it stands to reason that the door-to-door line technology should be used. But international football is a very backward and conservative world.
Goal-line technology like Hawkeye's technology has long been popularized in tennis, but international football is still debating whether to use it.
FIFA rules clearly state that video footage cannot be used as a basis for a penalty. This has led to the birth of many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
In this regard, football insiders explained that "misjudgment is a part of football, just like making mistakes is a part of life, no one will never make mistakes, referees are also people, and people will make mistakes, so we must learn to accept misjudgments." β
There are even those who believe that "misjudgment is one of the charms of football".
The goal-line case in the 1966 World Cup final and the missed handball of Maradona in the 1986 World Cup made the "Hand of God" ...... These have become classics in the history of football.
However, if the world of football is carefully divided, UEFA is more aggressive than FIFA in promoting new technologies. After the 2010 World Cup, UEFA decided to add two goal-line referees to the Champions League and European Championship qualifiers.
Their role is to replace high-speed cameras with the naked eye, stand behind the baseline, closely observe the movement in the penalty area, and help the referee in fouls and judging whether a goal is scored or not.
Now that the Real Madrid players have raised objections, referee Quepes will of course have to ask the goal-line referee who knows more than him.
So he waved off the players from both sides and came to the back of the baseline to communicate with the door referee.
At the same time, the television broadcast also gave footage from above the goal line.
Although the rules do not allow the use of video to make a decision, the audience can see whether the goal was scored or not through the footage captured by the high-speed camera, which is a question that is not only a concern for the players on both sides of the field, but also for countless TV viewers.
The replay starts with Bale orienting the football goal, the perspective comes from the camera above the goal, when the football hits the crossbar and bounces down, the picture freezes, and the perspective is narrowed through technical means to simulate the real situation, but the perspective can be rotated at will, which is convenient for everyone to watch.
At the same time, under the football is the goal line, excluding all other factors, including the crossbar, to let everyone see if the football has crossed the line as a whole at this time.
Of course, the result is no, and more than half of the football is outside the line.
Next, the play continued, the football bounced down, and Zhou Yi jumped up to clear the ball with a header.
At the moment when his head touched the football, the picture was frozen again, and then Zhou Yi was erased from the picture through technical means, leaving only the football and the threshold, and then looking down from the top of the football, so that the football and the goal line coincided to see if the football crossed the line as a whole.
The ball was indeed closer to the goal, most of the ball was on the inside of the goal line, but a quarter of it was still pressed on the goal line and did not cross the line.
According to FIFA rules, this goal cannot be counted.
Not to mention that a quarter is still online, even if one percent is still online, that can't be counted, it can't be counted.
"The ball didn't go in, the referee didn't blow the goal worked, no problem!" Marcel Leif let out a long sigh and then announced loudly.
"Zhou Yi's goal-line clearance is very crucial, if he doesn't block it with a header, judging from this trend, the football should cross the line as a whole when it falls to the ground...... It's so dangerous!" He Ping also sighed, it was really dangerous just now.
When the Spanish commentator saw this scene, he also had to accept the fact that the football did not actually score: "This goal ...... It really didn't go in, Real Madrid lost their last chance to equalize......"
He spoke weakly, because he could already think of the defeat of Real Madrid, who were once again on their way to the tenth crown......
The 10th Champions League title is Real Madrid's goal, and it is like a curse, which has always comfortably shackled Real Madrid, making them keep repeating this process of failure, constantly reincarnating in failure, and not being able to exaltate.

The telecast revealed that it was already clear, and the communication between the referee and the goal-line referee over there was over.
The goal-line referee told him very clearly that the goal had not been scored.
So referee Quipes turned and waved his arms crossed, signaled that the ball had not gone in, and then asked Real Madrid to take the throw-in.
"The referee decided there was no goal, he asked Real Madrid to take the throw-in! The score was still 4-3 ahead of Real Madrid by Dortmund!" cheered Marcel Leff. Although he already knew that the goal was not scored, he was still afraid that the goal-line referee would not see it clearly, and the referee would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Real Madrid players, so he made a decision that reversed black and white......
But to his delight, the referee made the right decision.
"The goal didn't score!" means that Real Madrid are getting farther and farther away from their tenth Champions League title, and it will be difficult for them to pull off another miracle with little game time left...... "He Ping was also a little excited. He began to look forward to that wonderful future - "Since the Champions League was restructured, there has never been a team that has managed to defend the Champions League title, but now, friends of the audience, we may be witnessing a history!"
When He Ping said this, his voice trembled.

When the Real Madrid players saw that the referee had ruled that the goal had not been scored, they excitedly surrounded them, wanting to ask the referee for an explanation.
In fact, from this time on, the mentality of Real Madrid players has completely collapsed. They don't care if they can actually get the referee to change the decision, they just want to vent their emotions.
Carlo Ancelotti stood in front of the dugout, grimacing and silent, just staring blankly in the direction of the Dortmund goal.
However, Zidane next to him was very excited and wanted to go to the fourth official to theorize.
But none of this can change the outcome.
Referee Quipes showed a yellow card to the emotional Real Madrid player Ramos, warning the other Real Madrid players.
The situation was finally brought under control.
Then he pointed to his arm and motioned to the Real Madrid players: Do you want to throw a throw-in? If you don't throw it, I'll just blow the whistle and end the game!
The Real Madrid players are out of the question, and although there may not be a chance, it's better than just ending the game......
So after the chaos, Real Madrid obediently restarted the game.
As soon as they threw the throw-in, they immediately lifted the ball in and sent it to the Dortmund goal.
Everyone held their breath.
Papastathopoulos jumped up and pushed the ball out with his head!
This time, the second drop point was taken by Zhou Yi outside the penalty area.
After taking the ball, he didn't kick the ball in front of him with a big kick, but made a gesture to pass the ball laterally, but he slammed the ball back and then passed the Real Madrid player Modric who was deceived by him.
Modric didn't stop Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi went forward with the ball, and he even had the posture to counterattack.
Carvajal rushed over and shoveled at Zhou Yi mercilessly.
Zhou Yi threw the football out, but the man was still tackled by Carvajal.
When he fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded.
Everyone thought it was a foul on Carvajal, but then another whistle blew.
That's when people reacted.
There was a huge cheer from the Dortmund fans in the stands.
Amid their cheers, the referee's third whistle was almost drowned out.
But it doesn't matter, I can't hear the whistle, I can still see the referee's gestures, Quipes raised his arms, and then put down the flat lift, which means the end of the game!
"It's overβit's over!!" He Ping roared, and even broke his voice. "Borussia Dortmund successfully defended their title! They made history! Since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to successfully defend the curse of the title! Zhou Yi! He became the first Chinese player in history to win the Champions League twice! Yan Min! He became the second Chinese player in history to win the Champions League! Congratulations to both of them, and congratulations to Borussia Dortmund!"
The Dortmund players outside the field rushed into the field with open arms, while the Dortmund players on the field raised their arms and shouted, some fell to their knees with their hands covered their faces, and some hugged their teammates next to them.
There was a huge cheer from the entire Stadium of Light β all from the Dortmund fans.
Real Madrid fans were tearful and disappointed.
Real Madrid's players are also in frustration.
In this noisy environment, no one noticed at first that Zhou Yi, who was shoveled to the ground by Carvajal, did not get up. It wasn't until the excited Yan Min ran to hug Zhou Yi to celebrate that he found that he was holding his left foot and falling to the ground in some pain.
He was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward and shouted in a panic: "Zhou Yi, what's wrong with you?!"
The TV broadcast also discovered Zhou Yi's abnormality at the same time, so Zhou Yi's painful expression and Yan Min's helplessness were shown in front of countless defenseless Chinese fans.
The Chinese fans, who were still happy before, were all stunned.
