Chapter 253: Exhausted

Mark equalised with 10 minutes left at full-time, which immediately filled the game with suspense again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, after Bayern Munich took the lead, the vast majority of people felt that Bayern Munich would only be a matter of time before they won the game.

But it's not a matter of time.

Borussia Dortmund equalised and their morale was high, and even if the game dragged to penalties, it would be them, not Bayern Munich, who would have the upper hand.

After the restart, the morale-boosted Dortmund did launch a fierce attack towards the Bayern Munich goal, and at this time they did not seem to worry about the space behind them being exploited by Bayern Munich.

They know that the other party actually doesn't have much physical strength, how can it be so easy to fight back?

There are some balls that you can catch up with if you put them in 90 minutes. But now I can't run anymore when I look at it, and my speed slows down.

Of course, Borussia Dortmund were no better, but they were in a defensive state for the first half of extra-time and were given some respite.

Bayern Munich also knows exactly where their disadvantage is now, so they don't think about attacking anything, first defend the goal, and if they concede the ball at the last moment, it will be killed by Dortmund.

If you have experienced something like this once in the league, there is no need to go through it again in the Champions League.

As long as you don't concede a goal, you can drag the game into a penalty shootout, and then it will be fair for both sides, Dortmund have a chance to win, and Bayern Munich has it.

Both teams are prepared for a possible penalty shoot-out, so they are not very resistant to playing a penalty shoot-out.

In order not to concede the ball, Bayern Munich contracted their defense, all retreating into the outside of their penalty area, in the 30-meter area, trying not to give Dortmund too much space.

In the face of Bayern Munich's dense defence, Dortmund's attacking routine is still to choose a cross from the wing, a battle for the top in the middle, or a long-range shot from outside the box.

However, Bayern Munich also made targeted arrangements, and while they continued to strengthen the defense of tall players such as Hummels and Lewandowski, they also sent more manpower to Mark and Zhou Yi to defend.

In such a situation, Dortmund's attacking effect is not very good.

The clock ticks by.

Zhou Yi rarely retreats to the midfield to receive the ball now, he stays in the front. It's not that he's lazy, it's because he can't run.

Even if his physical fitness this season has improved a lot compared to before, he can't afford to play such a high-intensity 120-minute game after fighting for a season.

A lot of the time, he didn't even run, he was pacing slowly, and at the same time he was gasping for air.

This feeling of exhaustion is rarely experienced by Zhou Yi himself, when was the last time he was like this in a competition?

He thought about it carefully, as if it was still when he didn't become a professional player, participating in the filming of the reality show, the battle with the Barcelona youth team, he played the full 90 minutes, and finally he was so tired that he could only rely on his mouth to direct his teammates to pass the ball.

Although they were so tired, it was them who won in the end, and Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

In today's game, if he is exhausted and can get back a Champions League title, even if he is tired, he is willing.

But today he didn't need his mouth to direct his teammates to pass the ball.

"Zhou Yi is basically walking on the pitch now, but fortunately, the game is basically played in the half of Bayern Munich, otherwise, he would be offside......" Chinese commentator He Ping said worriedly on the commentary bench.

Klopp now has a substitution slot, which he did not use, and He Ping was always worried that Zhou Yi would be replaced.

Although even if Zhou Yi is replaced, it is very normal, and even a very reasonable and appropriate substitution, He Ping still feels a pity because of this.

He wants Zhou Yi to stay on the pitch all the time, and he still has a hint of fantasy that Zhou Yi can once again show his amazing creativity and help Dortmund to victory.

If he had been replaced, none of this would have happened.

He Ping, out of selfishness, hoped that Zhou Yi would stay on the court, even if he couldn't run. But he still has hope for Zhou Yi.

Jurgen Klopp also seemed to be a little hesitant, and it would be nice to be able to equalise the score.

It's really not good, and he's perfectly acceptable to take a penalty.

But in that case, is it necessary to replace Zhou Yi next time?

He hesitated and hesitated, but he was never able to make this decision.

Now it seems that Zhou Yi is the worst physical condition of the Dortmund players on the field, and many times, he cannot function normally. Dortmund is the equivalent of 11 out of 10.

If he is replaced, no matter who he replaces, at least he can be guaranteed in terms of physical fitness, at least he will not be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But if Zhou Yi is really replaced, it seems that there is no hope, so he can only focus on the penalty shootout.

If this is the case, Klopp is a little unwilling.

Dortmund finally equalised, and it was when the morale was soaring, that he, the manager, voluntarily gave up all possibilities, leaving only a penalty shootout to prepare. He felt it was a waste of morale......

※※※

While Klopp was hesitating, Dortmund was still besieging the Bayern Munich goal.

Zhou Yi will occasionally pass a few balls outside the penalty area, but he will also run into the penalty area to look for opportunities, he will not stick to a certain position, although he can't run now, but it doesn't mean that he will stand like a scarecrow and will not move, he is pacing and constantly changing his position.

This time, he moved to the edge of the big penalty area, and the football was passed horizontally outside the penalty area, Zhou Yi did not raise his hand to ask for the ball, he knew that even if he asked for the ball, the ball was passed, it was useless, but he might lose the ball.

So he watched his teammates fall on their feet outside, looking for opportunities.

Zhou Yi is also looking for opportunities.

However, he didn't find much of a chance, and after the equaliser, Bayern Munich decisively contracted across the board. It was intended to stay until the end of extra time and drag it out until the penalty shootout.

In this way, they naturally care about the defense and build their own penalty area impenetrable.

Even if it's Dortmund, there's nothing too good to do.

Faced with Bayern Munich's dense defense, Dortmund player Gundogan, who had the ball, decided to try to shoot from distance.

However, his shot did not hit, and the ball that was rushing forward against the turf had just rushed out when it was blocked by Schweinsteiger, who fell to the ground, and did not fly towards the goal, but tilted to the side and rolled towards the ...... Zhou Yi on the line of the big forbidden area!

At this time, Zhou Yi was facing away from the attack, and behind him Harvey Martinez was defending him closely.

Try not to make him turn around.

Zhou Yi could feel the pressure from behind him.

But he still leaned back desperately, resisting the pressure from Javi Martinez.

Xavi Martinez didn't plan to do anything else, he didn't want to go around the front and rush ahead of Zhou Yi to destroy the football - in that case, he could be left behind by the cunning Zhou Yi.

Since Zhou Yi has one goal and one assist, Xavi Martinez has to guard against this possibility.

Who knows what Zhou Yi will do next time?

So he just pushed Zhou Yi hard and didn't let him turn around easily, if he wanted to pass the football out, then whatever he wanted, Xavi Martinez couldn't care so much.

In the eyes of many people, as long as Zhou Yi is not allowed to turn around, his threat to the goal will be greatly reduced.

And with Zhou Yi's physical confrontation ability, it is impossible to single Harvey Martinez with his back.

But just when everyone thought that Zhou Yi could only pass the football out, Zhou Yi made a move that made Javi Martinez feel very impressed.

Originally, he and Zhou Yi's body were in direct contact, he was on Zhou Yi's back, raised his two hands and put them beside him, signaling to the referee that he had no movement in his hands, and if Zhou Yi fell down for a while, it was not he who pushed it, but Zhou Yi was faking a fall.

From this physical contact, he could clearly feel the power from Zhou Yi, who was desperately resisting the invasion of his body, so that he could not fall behind in this physical competition.

Javi Martinez, who is 1.90 meters tall and weighs 81 kilograms, is completely "crushed" by Zhou Yi physically, he leans over and bends over, condescendingly, against Zhou Yi, and does not give him a chance to turn around at all.

If Zhou Yi wants to fight him head-on, he is absolutely confident that he will win.

But at this time, he felt that Zhou Yi's body under his pressure slipped to the side, and there seemed to be signs of deviating!
