Chapter 234: Lost Ball and Goal
"Second goal! Stuttgart scored the second goal! They are now two goals ahead of Dortmund!"
The game was going on, nothing special happened, and suddenly the Allianz Arena remembered a huge cheer. Eggplant □ '-.
No one was surprised, they all knew what the cheers meant.
At the same time, in the coach's box and bench of Bayern Munich, everyone also knew the latest situation at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, and their faces were happy.
"God is still on our side......" Some people are even in the mood to joke about last season's famous meme.
Last season, Bayern Munich's announcer repeatedly said that God was on Bayern Munich's side when commentating on the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
As a result, he was slapped in the face by Zhou Yi with a countdown lore.
Later, this incident was publicized and reported by the media, and everyone knew about it, and it became a famous joke that ridiculed Bayern Munich.
And now Bayern Munich people can joke about this, which just shows that their self-confidence and strength no longer care about self-blackening.
A TV camera captured the scene of everyone covering their mouths and chatting on the Bayern Munich bench. Although covering their mouths, not knowing what they are talking about. But it can be seen from their smiles and relaxed expressions that the Bayern Munich players are in a good mood right now. They seem to have felt that the championship is within reach.
※※※
Klopp in the TV picture can be described as having a beard, his eyebrows are raised high, his eyes are as wide as Tongling's, his teeth are clenched together, and his face can be described as hideous.
He was very unhappy with the scoreline, and he was also unhappy with the scene.
It's hard to play against a relegation team, but it can't be so hard that we concede two goals in 20 minutes!
I was beaten to the point that I couldn't fight back!
The Dortmund players on the pitch were also hit hard.
Could it be that all the hard work of a season is going to be buried here?
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who had lost two goals, got up from the ground and roared angrily at his teammates: "Why is no one back in the middle?!"
No one answered his question, and everyone turned away in a daze, unwilling to look at him, and their mood was extremely depressed.
After the start of the game, Stuttgart intends to take advantage of the victory, take advantage of the Dortmund players to be devastated and attack the Dortmund goal, if they can score another goal, the game can end early......
In the face of Stuttgart's onslaught, Zhou Yidu could only be a defensive midfielder to help the team defend and avoid conceding any more goals, and he could hardly organize any decent attacks.
※※※
While Dortmund was struggling to support Stuttgart's attack, Bayern Munich was still immersed in the joy of being two goals behind its title rivals.
As a result, in the 23rd minute, when Bayern Munich pressed the attack, it was counterattacked by Hoffenheim.
Their midfielder Flanders took the ball in the middle and then moved forward, and Bayern Munich's backline did not quickly return to defend at this time, but pressed forward, as if they wanted to break the ball off and then play Hoffenheim's counterattack.
Even their centre-back Dante stepped forward and crossed the halfway line, so that there was not a single Bayern Munich player left for the entire second half except goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
At this moment, Flender sent a through ball and passed the ball past Dante, who was pressing forward, and just as Dante's attention was on the football, on the other side of him, Hoffenheim striker Modeste quickly intervened like a ghost, ran past him, and received the ball behind him!
"Nice anti-offside!" the commentator shouted.
Neuer originally wanted to attack, but seeing that Nordeste was fast and had completely controlled the football, he hurriedly retreated.
Withdraw to the box so he can save the ball with his hands.
Modeste saw that Neuer was returning and decided to shoot straight at goal!
So before entering the penalty area, he shot directly low!
The ball drilled under Neuer's crotch.
Neuer reflexively reflexively fell to the ground and blocked the ball, but the ball still stubbornly penetrated his body, slowing down and rolling towards the goal......
Neuer turned around and saw that the football still had room to save, and he crawled up from the ground to chase the ball.
Modeste, the black player's explosive power, was vividly reflected at this time, seeing that Neuer still had a chance to stop the football, he started on the spot again, rushed past Neuer's side in two steps, strode to catch up with the football, left all the Bayern Munich players behind, caught up with the football in front of the goal line, and then made up for a push!
Football flew into the goal of Bayern Munich without any suspense!
"Ah...... This...... Hoffenheim scored!Modeste! He took the lead for Hoffenheim!" The narrator was stunned for a moment before shouting. "It's unbelievable that Hoffenheim was the first to score!"
Seeing Modeste pass past a stumbling Neuer and catch up with the football, Guardiola jerked up from his seat.
The goal came so suddenly, he was surprised. It was Bayern Munich who had the upper hand before, but why was Hoffenheim the first to score?
"Bayern Munich conceded a goal in a good situation! Are they too relaxed? They don't take Hoffenheim seriously at all? But in fact, Hoffenheim is a famous 'nerve knife'...... The team, which was desperate for relegation last season, has become the third most attacking team in the Bundesliga this season, behind Bayern Munich with 79 goals and Borussia Dortmund with 74 goals...... Hoffenheim, of course, have conceded 59 goals so far, the most of any team in the Bundesliga. But it is precisely because of this that their 'nerve knife' characteristics are more prominent...... Against Bayern Munich, their attacking firepower is still uncompromised!"
※※※
"Hey, Bayern Munich is also behind ......"
Originally, two goals behind made the atmosphere in the Dortmund coach's bench a little solemn, but suddenly a news came, and everyone was reactive.
"Really?"
"Really, Hoffenheim striker Modeste scored, Bayern Munich fell behind at home. ”
"Hey ......"
Everyone's hearts suddenly became much more balanced. If Dortmund really loses to Stuttgart, if Bayern Munich can also lose, won't that be offset......?
But Klopp frowned and said to them: "This is good news for us, but if we can't win against the opponent in front of us, Bayern Munich will not make much sense even if we lose, but it will make us regret even more If we win the game and Bayern Munich loses, wouldn't we be just one point behind them?!"
As soon as he said this, the others fell silent.
It's true, if the opponent loses, he loses, and he loses, which is actually meaningless.
If you don't do your own thing, even if the opponent gives you a chance, if you don't seize it, it will be in vain.
So the crowd turned their attention back to the pitch in front of them, and Dortmund was trying to figure out how to deal with Stuttgart.
※※※
Stuttgart besieged for a while and found that there was no way to score, so they put their pace on and began to see Dortmund in midfield.
They used the midfield to disrupt Dortmund's attack and prevent them from easily passing the ball into dangerous areas.
Zhou Yi kept running, never staying in place, and he certainly didn't want the Stuttgart defenders to limit him to death.
On the run, he looked for opportunities.
He is well aware that the current situation does not allow Dortmund to reverse his feet back and forth, and the more times he reverses, the greater the probability of being cut off by Stuttgart to counterattack.
In the face of Stuttgart's pressing, Dortmund had to play the attack concisely and directly.
But concise and direct does not mean blindly passing the football forward, that is just a different way to hand over the ball to the other party.
It is still necessary to pay attention to accuracy.
In the twenty-ninth minute, Zhou Yi ran to the left rib of the front court, which was a vacancy, and when he ran to the vacancy, Durm, who was originally holding the ball on the side, quickly passed the football to him, and at the same time, after passing the ball, he continued to run forward and made a posture to cooperate with Zhou Yi.
However, Zhou Yi did not pass the ball after receiving the ball, and he is now facing the attacking direction, with Stuttgart's neat line of defence in front of him......
The four defenders pressed in unison in front of the arc of the penalty area.
When Zhou Yi got the ball, a Stuttgart player blocked two or three meters in front of him, and another Stuttgart player forced up from diagonally behind, intending to entangle Zhou Yi.
If Zhou Yi controls the ball for one more second, he will be stuck by the opponent, and at the same time, the Stuttgart player who intercepts him head-on can also take the opportunity to lean up and complete the bag, making it difficult for him to send the ball out.
At this time, Yan Min suddenly stepped forward from the left rib, because of the resolute forward after Durm's pass, the Stuttgart right-back who was supposed to defend him here was entangled in Durm, and the two central defenders shrank in the middle, resulting in an empty space here.
Zhou Yi saw Yan Min's forward insertion, and did not hesitate, pushed the football forward across his ankle, just like playing golf and pushing the ball into the hole at the end, the speed does not need to be too fast, the power does not need to be too large, the key is accuracy, it must be accurately sent to the place where it should be not Yan Min's feet, with Yan Min's speed, if it is sent directly to his feet, it will disrupt his rhythm, let him slow down, and then adjust, the opponent's central defender will definitely be forced up, and there will be no room for operation at that time. So I want to pass the football to Yan Min, but this is a penalty area, and the pass is too big, either it will roll out of the bottom line directly, or it will be picked up by the attacking goalkeeper Ulreich.
So this accuracy is easy to say, but it's actually hard to do in a game. In actual games, you can always see that some players see the vacancy, and their teammates also run to the vacancy, but the final pass is not obtained, or the original opportunity after getting it is not a chance, that is, the ball is not passed well.
And Zhou Yi's pass was very accurate.
When Yan Min crossed the Stuttgart line, the football kept rolling in front of him, Yan Min didn't have to think about what to do after receiving the ball and stopping the ball, he just needed to adjust his pace during the sprint, and then he could ......
Straight shot!
Stuttgart's central defender Rudiger turned around to catch up, but because Yan Min didn't have to stop the ball, there was no need to lose anything in speed, plus Zhou Yi had a slight arc when the ball was passed, not straight over, the football rolled out a little bit, closer to Yan Min and away from Rudiger at the same time.
So Yan Min needs to run a shorter distance, and after he adjusts his pace, the football also happens to be at his feet, and he can completely round his legs and kick the football comfortably!
Ulreich touched the line of the small penalty area, and Yan Min had already shot!
There was still some distance between the two sides, and Ulreich did not completely block the angle.
Yan Min did not choose to volley hard, but used ingenuity to push and shoot.
The ball rolled past Ulreich's feet and Rudiger tried to tackle it, but couldn't reach it.
The ball went past them, into the back corner of the goal, and into the goal!
Borussia Dortmund pull a goal back!
