Chapter 271: The Second Half Has Just Begin

The players from both sides were on the pitch, but the game did not start immediately, and the fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines, prompting Dortmund to make a substitution.

No. 19 Grosskreutz is down, No. 26 Piszczek is up.

Pep Guardiola glanced at Dortmund.

Jurgen Klopp made a substitution.

However, this was not a surprise to him, as he had already prepared accordingly at half-time, and this substitution did not affect his tactical arrangements.

Instead, the commentators talked about this substitution.

"Grosskreutz is off, he has a yellow card on him, Klopp must have known that he will be the main point of attack for Bayern Munich in the second half, that yellow card is a big hidden danger, so just replace him ......"

"In fact, even if Grosskreutz didn't have this yellow card, Klopp would have replaced him at half-time. After all, he didn't play well in the first half, and he was completely inferior in the conversation with Gotze. It became the biggest hole in Dortmund's backline in the first half. This kind of performance is definitely going to be replaced......"

The television broadcast gave a close-up of Grosskreutz, who was already sitting on the bench.

The intention of this shot is to show everyone the embarrassment of Grosskreutz, who was substituted in midfield, or to see if he is unhappy with his early substitution.

But the result was surprising, Grosskreutz was chatting with his teammates on the bench, although he covered his mouth with his hands, but looking at his eyebrows, you could also see at a glance that his mood was not very low, and even a little ...... Enraptured?

This really surprised the audience, and the narrator was even more surprised, and he didn't even know how to explain this image to the audience......

"Uh...... Grosskreutz, who was substituted, seemed to be in a good mood and didn't know what he was talking to his team-mates......"

In the end, that's all the narrator can say.

As for why the mood is good, then I don't know.

Grosskreutz was in a good mood because of the scene that had just taken place in the tunnel.

He was excitedly telling his teammates about his clash with Muller and Gotze in the tunnel.

Of course, the point is not how he is, but what Zhou Yi said.

“...... Zhou Yi is about to cast a spell! In the second half, you should open your eyes and watch! Zhou Yi must be about to cast a spell! I am sure that Zhou Yi was provoked by them! I have never seen Zhou Yi speak in such a tone, although there is a smile on his face...... But I think that's more of a threat to them! That guy from Müller probably doesn't know that he's managed to provoke the terrifying 'Wizard of the East'! Now Bayern Munich is going to be out of luck!"

Grosskreutz spoke in an exaggerated tone, and his teammates listening to him showed a slight disapproval on their faces.

Zhou Yi's nickname is "Wizard", which doesn't mean that people can really cast spells...... It's just a joke.

Substitute goalkeeper Langerak expressed a different opinion on this: "We all know that Zhou Yi can't really cast spells, that's just his nickname, Kevin......"

Grosskreutz snorted, disdainful of arguing with Langrak: "Facts speak louder than words, don't believe it when the time comes!"

※※※

Piszczek was already on the pitch when the substitution prompt was made, so there was no need for a substitution handover ceremony.

After the fourth official lowered the sign, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half.

The second half began, and it was Borussia Dortmund who kicked off.

They took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to pass the ball from the backfield, while Bayern Munich pressed it, intending to force the ball at Dortmund's feet and then play directly on the counter-attack.

At this time, Zhou Yi had been running in the backcourt while looking up to observe the situation. It happened that Yan Min passed the football horizontally to him in the middle on the side, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but directly made a long pass, sending the football to the front of the right side.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cut forward at high speed and received the ball from Zhou Yi.

"A long ball as precise as a long-range guided missile! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang receives the ball from a position behind the Bayern Munich backline!

Duan Xin shouted excitedly.

Although Aubameyang received the ball behind him, Bayern Munich's defenders did not give up, and Alaba was not slow, chasing after him, Aubameyang had no way to get rid of him for a while because he still had to dribble the ball.

Luckily, Royce picked up in the middle.

So he chose to cross the football sideways.

Reus was on the edge of the box to receive the ball, but the ball was tackled by Martinez, who was returning to the defense, and it was disrupted.

At the same time, referee Tswill blew the whistle, judging by his gestures, it was ruled that Reus was offside......

The TV replay told everyone that the decision was debatable - Aubameyang passed the ball physically and with the football ahead of Reuss, and he passed the football to Reuss, in which case there was no offside for Reus.

However, although the decision was controversial, it did not make the players really fight, after all, even if the referee did not blow for Royce offside, he did not get the goal......

The game continues.

Bayern Munich quickly sent a free-kick from the back and hit the front.

Then Lewandowski fired a shot from the edge of the box, the ball hit Hummels' leg and flew off the line to give Bayern Munich a corner.

At this time, the second half was just a minute and a half.

Arjen Robben went to take the corner and he opted to send the ball straight to the back of the net.

Here Papastathopoulos jumped high and pushed the ball out with his head.

The ball flew high out of the penalty area and about ten meters outside the penalty arc.

Ribery came here to get the second spot.

The ball fell from the air, and Ribery stretched out his right foot, ready to stop it.

Although the ball flew high and fell sharply, it should not be a problem for a player of Ribery's level to stop the ball......

As a result, when the football smashed on the top of Ribery's foot, his foot did not have time to make a cushioning action, and the football fell hard and then bounced out......

Fell three meters in front of him!

This just gave Yan Min, who rushed up with the football, a chance, and he accelerated to run towards the football, intending to grab the football.

Ribery naturally knew very well what he would do if he lost the ball here, so he also hurriedly started, and at the same time leaned his whole body against Yan Min.

Yan Min still stabbed the ball first, but he was also knocked to the ground by Ribery.

Ribery, who knocked down Yan Min, didn't fall well, and he fell to the ground like he lost his balance.

However, he was still better than Yan Min, he could still struggle to get up, and Yan Min was crushed under Ribery and couldn't move at all.

Ribery struggled to get up and regain control of the ball.

But the football has been taken away by Zhou Yi, who was ambushed next to the two of them.

This is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind......

By the time Ribery got up, Zhou Yi had already taken the football out almost ten meters away.

Ribery originally wanted to chase back directly, but he saw that the captain of the team, Ram, had already leaned towards Zhou Yi, so he ran to the middle to fill Ram's position.

Zhou Yi dribbled the ball straight to Bayern Munich's front, and he passed the halfway line smoothly.

And at this time, Ram also leaned in.

Zhou Yi didn't plan to make physical contact with Ram, nor did he plan to get past Ram.

To fight back, what we pay attention to is the word "fast". The pace could not be slowed down by himself, so he made a quick stop to smash the ball, dodged the pounced Lahm, and immediately distributed the ball diagonally to the right flank, where Aubameyang cut forward at high speed.

At the same time, after passing the ball, he continued to rush towards the penalty area.

"Dortmund's counterattack!!" exclaimed Marcel Leif. "Bayern Munich's players are desperately trying to get back to the defense! Now in the front court, it's Dortmund three-on-three!"

Aubameyang received a pass from Zhou Yi outside the penalty area, and at the same time, Reus was also moving closer to Aubameyang, and the two had to establish contact and play together.

So the other two Bayern Munich players also rushed in that direction.

Even Ram, who had been shaken by Zhou Yi, turned around and rushed over there, completely ignoring Zhou Yi behind him.

After Aubameyang received the ball in the corner of the penalty area, as a striker, of course there was only one thought, and that was what!

While the Bayern Munich players had not yet fenced themselves up, Aubameyang rushed to shoot first!

However, his shot did not reach Neuer, and the ball was blocked by Raphinha's outstretched foot, then bounced off and flew to the other side of the box.

Originally, Dortmund and Bayern Munich players were concentrated near Aubameyang, who was there?

Zhou Yi, who plugged in, told them the answer!

"It's Zhou Yi!"

"Zhou Yi's chance!"

Although the commentators are so good, if you look at the trajectory of the football flight and the route inserted by Zhou Yi, you will find that the two do not coincide perfectly.

Zhou Yi rushed forward, but the football was bounced off and flew to the empty space behind him.

If this continues, football and people will pass by each other and fly in the opposite direction.

At this time, I saw Zhou Yi brake sharply while running, turned around at the same time, looked up at the football and jumped.

As he jumped, he lifted his right foot upwards and kicked the soccer ball that was about to fly past him!

It's just that Zhou Yi's kick didn't kick the football solidly, but rubbed it from the middle and lower part of the football.

After the football is hit, it changes direction and flies towards the goal, and it is not the kind that crashes straight into the goal like a cannonball.

Instead, it drew a slightly eerie arc and fell into the back corner of the goal......

Neuer made a reflexive save when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was shooting.

Of course, in the end, the ball did not fly over, but was blocked by Raphinha and flew to the other side.

So Neuer hurriedly got up from the ground and ran over, intending to block Zhou Yi's shot.

At this time, Zhou Yi kicked the football back to where he was at the beginning.

In the face of such a shot, Neuer had no time to change his desire to run back, he could only jump back in place, while trying to stretch his arms as much as possible, trying to reach the football in the air, as if in order to increase the defensive range, he also turned in the air when he jumped back, trying to use the power of the turn to make himself jump higher.

He did jump very high, but he didn't touch anything but air......

The ball flew higher than his hand, and it stands to reason that it was impossible for such a high ball to fly into the goal.

But after the football got past Neuer, it suddenly fell, not very fast, and swayed into the top corner of the goal.

How else to say it's a weird arc?

Neuer spun his head in the air and saw the ball graze the underside of the crossbar and into the goal he was keeping...... Then he lost his balance and hit the ground.
