Chapter 338: A Spell Is a Curse
"Ronaldo-Bale!!" the Spanish commentator screamed. "Gareth Bale !!"
In front of the TV, the players of the Chinese team held their heads one by one and sighed.
Of course, they are on Dortmund's side, because Dortmund have Zhou Yi and Yan Min, two of their teammates.
So seeing Borussia Dortmund equalised, everyone was disappointed.
The TV broadcast fell to Dortmund's side after giving Real Madrid a round of footage of the players celebrating the players and the Real Madrid coach's box.
The first person to appear in the close-up was Weidenfeller, who did not block the ball despite his return move.
The second one to appear is Zhou Yi.
The Spanish commentator said a lot, but not everyone could understand Spanish, and everyone was curious about what he said, so someone asked Sun Pan and He Ying, the two teammates who had been in Spain, what the commentator said.
"Hey, let's just say that Dortmund has encountered a crisis, and I don't know what Zhou Yi can do in the face of such a situation. Sun Pan briefly introduced.
He Ying said in a little more detail: "He said that Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund, and everyone's eyes will be on him." Conceding a goal at the start of the second half was very bad for Dortmund and a blow to the morale of the players. At this time, as the core of the team, what kind of performance Zhou Yi will show may determine the outcome of this game......"
After listening to the translation of the two people, everyone took a breath: "The Spanish commentator has such a high evaluation of Zhou Yi?"
"Isn't that quite normal?" Sun Pan glanced at them, feeling that they were making a fuss. 'He's the only one of us here who has played two Champions League finals. ”
If it weren't for Dortmund and Yan Min, Sun Pan would have said that Zhou Yi was the only Chinese player who had played in the Champions League final.

While the Real Madrid players were celebrating wildly, the morale of the Dortmund players was indeed a little low.
Zhou Yi pursed his lips, he didn't know what to say at this time. Besides, at such times, it is useless to say anything, only to do.
At half-time, manager Jurgen Klopp said that his team would use the ball in the second half to play with Real Madrid and slow them down.
But now that the second half has just begun, it won't work.
Because Real Madrid have equalised, the premise of Dortmund and Real Madrid slowly maneuvering does not exist.
Also frowning is manager Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines, who is clearly aware of how serious the problem is right now.

After the resumption of the game, Dortmund changed the practice of going back and forth in central midfield in the second half of the first half and launched a fierce attack on Real Madrid's goal.
Zhou Yi played a very important role in this, and he tirelessly ran around the field, appearing in almost every corner. No matter which Dortmund player gets the ball, within a radius of 15 meters, Zhou Yi will definitely be able to find the ball point.
Of course, Zhou Yi also has to pay a lot of physical cost to do this.
But at this time, he naturally didn't care about that, and he would bring the situation back first.
Under his leadership, Dortmund still played some attacks that threatened Real Madrid's goal.
For example, he distributed the ball to the wing, let Yan Min cross, and Mark came with a left-footed volley from the edge of the box at the back post, which went high.
But overall, it was Real Madrid who had the upper hand, and Dortmund could only play defensive counter-attacks during this time.
Real Madrid's attack is stronger than Dortmund's, they have the upper hand in momentum, and the trend is more in their favour.
Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball down the left flank for more than 30 metres and fired a long-range shot from outside the box that went just over the crossbar.
Not long after, Real Madrid played a small cross on the right rib of the Dortmund penalty area.
Benzema crossed the ball wide to Cristiano Ronaldo, who switched to the middle, and instead of stopping the ball, he knocked it straight ahead. Benzema overtook from the wing, received the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo on the flank, took a step and crossed.
At the same time, Ronaldo, who had passed the ball, also ran to the goal, ready to respond.
At the last moment, Dortmund defender Sven Bender, who had retreated into the penalty area, stretched out his foot to block the football.
However, the football he blocked did not fly far, fell outside the penalty area, and was taken by Real Madrid to the second point, Modric picked up the football, passed a ball over the top, passed to the back of the Dortmund backline, Coentrão cleverly stepped forward, ran to the back of the Dortmund back line and received the ball, he did not stop the ball, but directly volleyed!
"Coentrão ——!!"
A powerful shot on goal, but slightly on target.
Weidenfeller blocked the angle, but he didn't dare to hold the ball directly, so he could only choose to block the football with his body.
The soccer ball hit him in the arm and flew off the baseline.
During this period, Dortmund also had a chance to counterattack, Yan Min took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, made a gesture to shoot, the deceived Varane shoveled, but he stabbed the football from under the crotch first, then jumped up and crossed Varane, and then dribbled into the penalty area.
"Good ball! Yan Min is good ball!" He Ping slapped the table on the commentary seat and applauded loudly.
However, Yan Min was then forced to the side by Ramos, who followed him, and could only choose to cross.
The ball was cleared by the Real Madrid player......

In the 59th minute, Real Madrid played a counter-attack from Borussia Dortmund. Luka Modric sent a pinpoint long ball straight from the back to get the ball in front of Bale.
Bale made the most of his speed, speeding up to catch up with the ball and heading straight for Dortmund's penalty area!
"Real Madrid's counterattack! Bale!
At the same time, on the other side of the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo buried his head in acceleration, his hands flicked desperately, driving his body forward, and in the process of sprinting, he also turned his head to look at where Bale was, and then continued to lower his head and accelerate forward.
Dortmund's defensive attention has been drawn to Berger, and everyone is moving closer to Bale's flank, ignoring Cristiano Ronaldo on the other side.
Zhou Yi saw it, but his speed couldn't catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo, and his roar was drowned out by the cheers of Real Madrid fans.
He could only watch this scene, and his heart tightened.
Sure enough, after Bale took the ball to the edge of Dortmund's penalty area, he looked up at the penalty area, because it was a counterattack, so there were very few people in Dortmund's penalty area, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller was blocking the near corner, and behind him was almost the entire open goal.
He didn't hesitate to pass the ball and curled it with his right foot.
The football bypassed Dortmund centre-back Papastathopoulos, who returned to the penalty area, and Papastathopoulos watched the football fly over, not daring to stretch his legs for fear of accidentally stabbing the ball into the goal - Bale's pass was a chicken thief......
As for goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the ball flew very fast, and it was not suitable for sideways pounces to intercept at all, Weidenfeller could only turn and run back to block possible shots behind him.
But his turning speed is nothing compared to the speed of a football.
By the time he finished turning, the ball had already been passed to the back post.
There, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been running at high speed for most of the pitch, slapped his horse and raised his foot to cushion the football that Bale had passed!
The soccer ball went into the goal like a cannonball, and it didn't stop until it hit the net......
The entire Stadium of Light was filled with the cheers and roars of Real Madrid fans.
"Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo!!" the Spanish commentator shouted in a long voice. "GOOO!!!!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After the goal, the Portuguese excitedly ran to the corner flag area and assumed the posture of a bodybuilder to celebrate the goal. However, he still had a shred of sanity and did not strip to show his muscles, otherwise he would have received a yellow card for stripping to celebrate......
Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the stands where Real Madrid fans gathered, where fans flocked to the first floor of the stands to celebrate the goal with him.
Real Madrid's players also flocked to Cristiano Ronaldo, surrounded him in the middle, hugged him and celebrated the goal.
Marcel Leif's voice was filled with frustration: "Conceded two goals in a row...... Dortmund are in big trouble. Real Madrid's offensive firepower is too strong, and Dortmund can't be said to be pressed during this time, and they also have a chance to fight back...... But unfortunately they didn't take the chance, so the opportunity was given to Real Madrid...... Now Dortmund are behind and the next games will be more difficult for them, because Real Madrid's form and confidence are completely out of place, their morale is high, how to play and how to play ......"
※※※
After Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, the Chinese players in front of the TV were silent and silent.
It's like they've conceded a goal.
They empathize with each other, thinking about what they should do when they encounter such a situation.
I'm afraid it's at a loss, right?
When they were equalized by Real Madrid, some people felt that the situation was not in the same direction as Dortmund. As a result, there are even more unfavorable ......
Since the Champions League was restructured, no defending champion has successfully defended their title.
Many people have this "curse" in their minds.
The reason why it is a "curse" is because there is really a mysterious force that affects fate, right?10
