Chapter 275: It's getting more and more intense
In fact, it's not that Götze will be strong as soon as he hits his old club. Who let the old boss have Zhou Yi in the family?
He just wanted to defeat Zhou Yi and get out of Zhou Yi's shadow.
So he gave his all in this game.
Soon, Bayern Munich attacked again in the frontcourt. Schweinsteiger won the ball at the edge of the Dortmund penalty area, but in the face of Dortmund, who had a well-maintained defence, Schweinsteiger did not have much to do, he could not find the target of the pass, and there was no chance to shoot with his feet.
So he had to send it back.
It was passed to Lahm, who then distributed the ball to Gotze on the left side of the box.
Gotze was in very good form today, solid on the ball and a threat.
Against Gotze, Dortmund's backline is like a big enemy.
Gotze first made a move to break inside, then suddenly retracted, turned and dribbled horizontally, and just took a step, Dortmund's defensive focus shifted to his side, but he did not covet the ball, but directly pushed the ball sideways and gave it to Schweinsteiger.
When Schweinsteiger got the ball in the middle, it was not the same as the last time he got the ball here, because of Götze's feint, Dortmund's defense was pulled and there was an opening, and the defensive strength facing him was not so strong, at least ...... He's got room to shoot with his feet!
So Schweinsteiger quickly and decisively got up and shot at goal!
The ball flew to the bottom right corner of the Dortmund goal on the turf, and the angle was very tricky!
Weidenfeller pushed his way out, but still couldn't touch the football.
However, the football did not enter the goal, but grazed the post and ran out of the bottom line.
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands exclaimed.
Not long after, Bayern Munich won another corner.
Toni Kroos drove the corner directly to the vicinity of the small penalty area, Dante jumped high, wanted to fight for the top, but it was not strong, the football was rubbed by his unkempt hair, there was a cushion and then fell, just on the back of Royce who returned to the goal, and there was chaos in front of the goal!
Papastathopoulos lost his balance and fell to the ground trying to poke the ball out, but he didn't hit it.
It was Thomas Muller, who rushed up, who struck the ball first.
But I didn't kick it right, so I rubbed it.
This rub allowed the football to dodge Weidenfeller, who came out to block, and the football slipped past Weidenfeller's feet and scurried towards the goal.
Just when the hearts of many Dortmund fans were cold, Zhou Yi, who was guarding the goal line, picked up a kick and kicked the rolling football directly out of the penalty area!
"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, it's so dangerous! He almost kicked the football out of the goal line!" Duan Xin exclaimed.
"Zhou Yi cleared the line! He saved Dortmund!"
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yi will not easily enter the penalty area whether he is attacking a corner kick or defending a corner kick, because because of his physique, it is meaningless to go in and it will not work. So he controls the second drop point on the outside, when he attacks he controls the second drop point to launch a second attack, and when he defends, he controls the second drop point to play a counterattack, just like the goal he scored at the beginning of the second half.
But this time, Zhou Yi felt that the corner kick defense was risky, and he still wanted to help in the penalty area.
He can't help with headers in front of goal or anything, but he can go to the goal line to help defend.
Because before that, Piszczek and Durm were in the crowd to help defend, and the regular two-post was gone.
Zhou Yi felt that it was a hidden danger, and he had to make up for this reinforcement.
So he ran and stood by the back doorpost.
Who would have thought that he would really expect it.
The football flew over, Dante came down, and the goal was in front of Zhou Yi, and there was chaos......
Then Zhou Yi saw the football rolling towards him, so he went up with an arrow step, rounded his legs and kicked the football out!
It was a clearance that was almost on the goal line......
The football that was kicked out by Zhou Yi was not out of bounds, so the game continued.
At this time, everyone didn't bother to think about what happened in front of the door just now, and they didn't even have time to play the video on TV for the first time.
Fortunately, it was very soon, and the football was out of bounds.
The televised broadcast finally gave everyone a good look at what had just happened in front of Dortmund's goal.
"Zhou Yi's solution is really crucial...... Maybe, I mean, maybe, maybe this clearance will be a very, very crucial one! Bayern Munich came close to equalising, but now Dortmund still holds a 2-1 lead!"
※※※
Bayern Munich have been scoring in a row during this period and have had several good scoring opportunities.
In response to this situation, Dortmund also adjusted their tactics and played a defensive counterattack.
In the 74th minute, Bayern Munich attacked again. However, after Thomas Muller won the ball in the middle, he tried to break through with the ball, but was cut off by Sven Bender.
After breaking the ball, Sven Bender distributed the football to Zhou Yi next to him, and Zhou Yi directly made a long pass and passed the football to the front court.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang used his speed to force an overtake and catch up with Zhou Yichuan's football, and by this time, he had left the Bayern Munich defenders behind him, forming a one-on-one trend.
Facing the attacking substitute goalkeeper Lucas Reid, Aubameyang stepped into the box and shot with his feet!
He shot into the near corner, only to have Red's quick response to pounce on the near corner, lifting the ball out of the bottom line with one palm!
"Red, Red, nice saves!"
"Rader made a crucial save!"
"It seems that Red, who was called up on the pitch in a desperate situation, has done very well and has perfectly filled the void left by Neuer...... I believe that his excellent performance will in turn motivate the players of Bayern Munich, and the suspense of this game is still there!"
The commentators said one after another.
Two consecutive saves from Borussia Dortmund also gave Rader a surge in confidence.
After he got up from the ground, he waved his fist vigorously and raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.
This naturally attracted Bayern Munich fans in the stands to cheer for him.
"Red is also in good form at the moment, I feel like he's completely beaten out of form by these two one-on-one from Borussia Dortmund......"
"When Manuel Neuer came off injured, everyone sweated for Bayern Munich and felt that the situation must have been too bad to be worse. Borussia Dortmund will gain a huge advantage and will even score another goal in a short period of time to seal the win. As a result, Dortmund have not scored so far, but their own goal has almost been breached......"
"When Red came on the pitch, everyone thought it was going to be a turning point in the game. Now it seems that this is indeed a turning point, but the direction of the turning point is a little different from what everyone thought before...... The initiative of the game is back on Bayern Munich's side, and the balance of advantage is tilting in Bayern's side!"
The next Dortmund corner did not pose any threat to Bayern Munich, and after the football was sent to the goal, Red, who was full of confidence, chose to abandon the goal, he jumped high, grabbed before everyone, and picked the ball in the air safely.
"Good ball! Red is very stable with this ball!"
"Now it seems that at least Guardiola doesn't have to worry about Neuer's injury, what will happen next!
※※※
Spurred on by Red's brilliant performance, Bayern Munich's attack was also more intense.
In the 77th minute, Raphinha broke through with the ball on the wing, and Reus grabbed his shirt when he stepped forward to defend, causing Raphinha to lose control of the ball.
Referee Zwil blew the whistle right away, awarded a foul on Reuss and awarded Bayern Munich a free-kick on the edge of the box.
At the same time, the referee also gave Reus a yellow card.
Bayern Munich were awarded a well-placed free-kick.
Bayern Munich fans in the stands began to cheer on the team.
Toni Kroos came to take the free-kick and, to the cheers of the Bayern Munich fans, kicked the ball out of an arc, and the ball flew straight into the penalty area around the two Dortmund players who acted as a human wall on the side!
Lewandowski, on the other hand, appeared in the middle of the penalty area, and there was not a single Dortmund player next to him!
With no interference at all, with Lewandowski's strength, such a shot is almost no suspense!
The ball flew into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller!
There was a deafening cheer from the stands at the Allianz Arena.
Lewandowski also looked excited after the goal, and he ran to the corner flag area with open arms to celebrate.
"It's in!Lewandowski equalizes for Bayern Munich!!" Marcel Leif shouted.
But at this time, the Bayern Munich players who were celebrating their goals on the TV screen suddenly stopped and turned their heads to look at the sideline in surprise.
The TV camera was cut to the scene as well, and in the footage, the linesman stood still, holding the flag flat. It stands to reason that if the goal had been effective, he would have run back to the halfway line. But he stood in this position to make this flag, in fact, the meaning is already very clear - offside!
Not only him, but the referee Tswill also stood in place, raising his arms high, expressing the same meaning as the linesman's flag.
Lewandowski was offside and the goal was invalidated!
