Chapter 222: God is a native of Munich
Gustavo's red card caused the game to be interrupted for at least three minutes, which were counted by the referee in stoppage time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After a three-minute hiatus, the game resumed.
Heynckes has made a change by replacing striker Gomez with midfielder Timoshchuk.
The meaning of this substitution is very obvious, replacing the only center forward is basically giving up the attack and concentrating on defense.
Originally, the two sides played against each other, and both teams had chances, but now Bayern Munich has contracted its defense and become Dortmund besieging Bayern Munich, but the attacking opportunities have decreased. Because Bayern Munich defended intensively, Dortmund didn't get as many quality attacking chances as before.
At the time of Gustavo's red card, there were still many Dortmund fans cheering, thinking that Dortmund had one more person than Bayern Munich, the balance was broken, and Dortmund would have the upper hand.
But looking at it now, one less opponent is not necessarily a good thing.
Because this made Bayern Munich determined to defend to the death.
Bayern Munich are perfectly comfortable with a draw, but Borussia Dortmund cannot.
If Bayern Munich really gets their wish, keep the draw until the end and take a point away from here, it will definitely be bad news for Borussia Dortmund.
So soon, the Dortmund fans were not happy either, and they stared nervously at the stadium.
On the field, Borussia Dortmund are besieging Bayern Munich's Earth Gate.
In the 68th minute, Gundogan fired a left-footed shot from 27 yards out of goal, and the ball deflected off the left side of the goal.
Then Reus also dribbled the ball horizontally on the right side of the penalty area and shot from distance, this time the ball was played high.
Because Bayern Munich defended intensively, the penalty area was very crowded. In the face of such a dense defense, Dortmund has nothing too good to do in a short time, so they can only choose to shoot from a distance frequently.
It's just that the effect of long-range shots is actually not very good.
In the 72nd minute, Jurgen Klopp made the second substitution of the game.
Mark Wagner came on to replace Sven Bender.
Remove a defensive midfielder and add a striker to strengthen the attacking firepower. It was a must-win game for Borussia Dortmund.
Klopp is planning to break the boat.
Bayern Munich switched to a full-scale defense, and Dortmund switched to an all-out attack.
But time is running out for Dortmund.
In the 74th minute, Reus was brought down on the flank, and referee Gagelmann awarded Dortmund a free-kick.
After Reuss drove out, Lewandowski scrambled in the box, but he fell to the ground under Boateng's close press, failed to touch the football, and the ball eventually fell to Neuer. Lewandowski lay on the ground and raised his hands to signal to the referee that Boateng had fouled, but Gagelman did not blow for a penalty this time, but only hooked his hand to signal Lewandowski to hurry up.
His move drew boos from the stands – Dortmund fans apparently thought it should have been a penalty.
However, Marcel Leif disagrees: "It's hard to say whether Boateng committed a foul or not, physical contact is a certainty, but physical contact does not equal a foul. Moreover, after awarding a penalty to Dortmund and sending off a Bayern Munich player, Gagelman must also think about the balance of the game, and it is impossible to award a penalty easily, unless the evidence is conclusive and indisputable, otherwise as long as there is a little controversy, he will act cautiously. So Lewandowski doesn't think about another penalty......"
In the 77th minute, Tymoshchuk made a mistake when passing the ball at the back, and he sent the football to Zhou Yi's feet. Of course, it may not be a mistake, but Zhou Yi predicted Timoshchuk's passing route in advance, so he got stuck on the route and waited for the rabbit.
Whatever the reason, in short, Zhou Yi now got the ball.
After winning the ball, he didn't make any unnecessary moves, but sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area. There, Mark received the ball and then half-turned to shoot.
However, the quality of this mark shot was not very high, it seemed to be passed and shot, and there was no power, and the ball was easily obtained by Neuer.
It wasn't until the 80th minute that Bayern Munich had another shot on goal, Timoschchuk fired a long-range shot from nearly 30 meters in the middle, but the ball flew high and could not threaten the goal guarded by Weidenfeller, he didn't even make a save, he just stood there and looked up to see the football fly overhead.
Although Tymoshchuk's shot did not score, for Dortmund, they did not care about this problem at all, they were more concerned about their own attack.
After watching the football fly away, Weidenfeller turned around and ran behind the goal, looking for a caddy for the ball.
And the caddie also understood, and without waiting for Weidenfeller's urging, he threw the football in his hand.
For Borussia Dortmund, time is running out as the minutes tick by......
"Eighty minutes of the game. With a maximum of fifteen minutes left in stoppage time, Borussia Dortmund will have to score against a defying Bayern Munich side, and if they can't win this game, they can basically say goodbye to this season's league title...... said Marcel Leif.
The Dortmund fans in the stands sang and danced to cheer on their team. At the last minute, as fans, they can only go so far.
※※※
From the 81st minute to the 85th minute, for four minutes, Dortmund did not have a single shot on goal and kept passing.
Zhou Yi kept running around, catching and passing and receiving and passing.
When he is not in possession of the ball, he gestures to calm down his teammates and stabilize the tempo.
At this time, you can't focus on the number of shots, but on the quality. If they want to shoot a lot, then they can shoot once a minute, but they can't threaten Bayern Munich's goal, even if Dortmund have 100 shots in this game, it will be useless.
In this process of constantly falling feet, Zhou Yi has also been observing and predicting the situation, looking for opportunities to take advantage of.
It wasn't until the eighty-sixth minute that Bayern Munich finally showed a flaw in the continuous inversion.
Zhou Yi immediately launched a fatal pass!
He sent the ball to Kuba, who was almost unguarded on the left side of the penalty area!
"Kuba-!"
When the ball flew towards Kuba, everyone saw what he was in, the Dortmund fans cheered loudly, and Marcel Leif also exclaimed.
Amid a thunderous shout, Kuba raised his foot to stop the ball.
But maybe the opportunity was too good, so good that Kuba himself couldn't believe it, causing him to be distracted. Anyway, when he raised his foot to stop the ball, he actually stopped the ball wide!
The football did not stop at his feet honestly and obediently, but jumped straight out...... Bounced towards Neuer, who was attacking.
And Neuer, who attacked in time, happened to receive a "big gift" from Kuba, and he fell directly to the ground and hugged the football in his arms!
"Oops!" Duan Xin exclaimed regretfully. "Kuba, Kuba! How can this ball be stopped? Besides, you don't need to stop, you can just hit it! Alas, this may be the best attacking opportunity so far since Dortmund scored the first goal!
There was also a loud sigh from the stands.
Kuba, who missed the opportunity, put his head in his hands, fearing that he had missed the best chance for Dortmund to win this game and even win the league title this season.
"Lewandowski didn't score a penalty, and Kuba had a great chance to stop it...... It seems that Dortmund's luck was really bad today. Maybe God is really on Bayern Munich's side? Is it true that apart from Bayern Munich, there is no team that can win the league three times in a row?" Marcel Leif also felt that Dortmund's game was really evil, so many chances, must-score opportunities, excellent chances, put in any game, can change the outcome of the game, but Dortmund did not seize any of them, and let the score of 1:1 have been fixed until now.
"God is on our side! God is a Munich man tonight!" the Munich radio announcer shouted excitedly.
The various curtains of this game really have to make people wonder, maybe this season's league championship should not be won by Dortmund?
