Chapter 312: Smash into a nail
In the 44th minute, with a minute left before the end of the first half, Dortmund won a throw-in on the left, just over the halfway point.
Left-back Grosskreutz went up to Atletico Madrid's caddie to ask for the ball and was ready to take the throw-in.
But the Atletico Madrid caddie didn't throw the ball back to him right away, but rubbed it for a while, and then threw it hard into the pitch, and the ball went over Grosskreutz's head and landed near the center circle.
This is clearly a trick by the caddie to stall for time. Don't want to give Dortmund a chance to attack before the end of the first half......
Although Grosskreutz was not very good-tempered, he did not dare to do anything to the caddie child, otherwise he would face severe punishment.
He could only spread his hands and complain to the referee about the opponent's behavior.
As a result, there was applause and cheers from the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands, which of course were all given to the "witty" caddie.
Generally speaking, the caddies at a team's home stadium are members of their youth and junior teams. So naturally, they are on the side of their senior team.
Marcel Leif criticised the caddie's approach: "It's unfriendly and unnecessary......
Zhou Yi did not protest to the referee or entangle with the caddie, but ran over and passed the ball thrown by the caddy to Grosskreutz.
Grosskreutz picked up the soccer ball and spread his hand in the direction of the caddie.
The television broadcast also gave a close-up of the caddy, in which the teenager showed a disdainful look at Grosskreutz.
He is not afraid of a Dortmund player for the sake of Atletico Madrid's interests, and of course he knows that Grosskreutz does not dare to do anything to him.
Grosskreutz really didn't dare to do anything to him, he didn't even dare to swear a word, otherwise after the game, as soon as the media asked lip experts to interpret it, all the content of his scolding would come out, and there would definitely be another uproar at that time.
Grosskreutz could only hold his breath and endure it.
Then he threw the ball at Hummels, who came up to catch him.
Hummels didn't stop the ball and padd the ball back to him.
Grosskreutz turned around after hitting the ball and saw Yan Min running to the front of his wing, so he passed the ball over.
Yan Min turned with the ball and tried to dribble horizontally, but was tackled by Atletico Madrid player Thiago, who defended him.
The shoveled ball fell back to Grosskreutz's feet. Of course, Atletico Madrid also had two players in front of Grosskreutz right away.
Grosskreutz hurriedly turned and passed the ball back.
It was passed to Zhou Yi, who answered in the middle lane. Zhou Yi divided the football to the right and passed it to the plugged in right-back Piszczek.
When the football got to Piszczek, he didn't know how to pass it, and when he looked up, he didn't see any good chances.
However, as a player of Dortmund, one thing should be clear, that is, if you don't know what to do with the ball on the pitch, then pass the football to Zhou Yi.
So Piszczek passed the ball to him again
And Zhou Yi had been observing the situation on the court before this. He saw that Yan Min did not stay in place after being tackled the ball, but was moving to the middle, but not fast.
But as he passed the ball to Piszczek, Yan Min suddenly accelerated and rushed to the right. And there, because Reuss was positioned further back, the Atletico Madrid defenders pressed forward, and there was space behind them.
Zhou Yi was keenly aware that this was an opportunity.
It was at this time that Piszczek passed the ball, so he did not stop the ball and pushed the ball directly to the right rib of the Atletico Madrid penalty area.
The ball rolled across a diagonal line on the turf and into the empty space where no one was around.
Of course, before Zhou Yi passed, there was no one's vacancy.
But from now on, not anymore.
Yan Min went straight to that place, and a central defender of Atletico Madrid, Godin, also chased after him, but he did not grab the ball at Yan Min's feet, but pushed Yan Min to the sideline *** out of the penalty area.
Godin's defense is still very sophisticated, under his defense, Yan Min is indeed difficult to get a chance to turn, he can only be "pushed" out of the penalty area by Godin.
At this time, Atletico Madrid's left-back Felipe also ran up and guarded Yan Min with Godin.
Godin saw that reinforcements were coming up, so he took the initiative to stick to Yan Min, and there was still movement in his hand, pulling Yan Min's left arm, preventing him from easily throwing himself off, and opening up space with himself, and at the same time he stuck on the side of the bottom line to prevent Yan Min from slipping through.
At this time, Felipe also forced up from the other side, and the two of them sandwiched Yan Min in the middle and pushed him to the sideline.
When it came to the sideline, Dortmund's attack was basically a dead end.
Zhou Yi originally saw the vacancy and passed it to the vacancy, and Yan Min also ran to the vacancy, but Atletico Madrid's defensive response was very good, which made Dortmund's attack unable to play.
Yan Min was close to being cornered, and with Godin and Felipe flanking him left and right, he looked helpless.
But just as he was about to reach the sideline, Yan Min pushed Felipe with his left hand, suddenly stepped on the football behind him with his right foot, and at the same time pulled his left arm out of Godin's arms, and quickly turned around, trying to get through the gap between Felipe and Godin!
Godin is so experienced in defense, and when he saw Yan Min turn around, he immediately leaned in and filled in the gap.
At the same time, Felipe cooperated with him tacitly and immediately stabbed the ball.
The two of them stuck one by one and broke off, and they wanted to completely seal Yan Min's breakthrough.
But Yan Min's foot speed was faster than that of these two tall defenders, and I saw Yan Min stretch out his left foot before Felipe and pull the football back!
Felipe didn't expect Yan Min's feet to move so fast, his feet were stretched out, but he didn't kick the football and pounced.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Min pulled the ball back with his left foot, and pushed the ball out with his right foot, and the ball slipped between Godin's legs, which was caught off guard.
While pushing the ball, Yan Min started, like an electric sports car, started at a very fast speed, and instantly drilled through the gap between Godin and the bottom line!
The ball is divided!
When Godin turned around in a hurry, Yan Min had already got the ball behind him.
"Yan Min, oh oh, oh oh, what a breakthrough! What a wonderful solo performance!" exclaimed Marcel Leff.
Yan Min, who completed the double kill breakthrough, did not continue to approach the goal with the ball, he looked up and observed, and decisively swept the football to the middle of the penalty area with his right foot, near the penalty spot!
There, Zhou Yizheng stepped forward, facing the football from Yan Min, and he shot with his feet!
The taut script shoots the ball out and presses it firmly against the turf.
The soccer ball sped forward on the turf, and the turf that had been watered before the game was a little slippery, reducing friction and speeding up the rolling of the ball.
Although there were two Atletico Madrid defenders and Manjing goalkeeper Courtois in front of Zhou Yi and the goal, the football that Zhou Yi kicked out still flew towards the goal with them.
Neither of the two Atletico Madrid defenders could touch the football, in fact, they didn't even have time to react, because Zhou Yi's shot was too decisive and too fast.
Courtois fell to the ground and pounced sideways. But he was attracted to the near corner by Yan Min's breakthrough just now, but the ball shot by Zhou Yi went straight to the back corner, and the gap between the two sides was a bit big, and he didn't touch the football at all......
Under the horrified gaze of countless Atletico Madrid fans, the football rolled all the way into the goal unimpeded!
In the 44th minute of the game, Borussia Dortmund scored.
"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi!!Wow! That's great!!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. Zhou Yi sent the ball into the Atletico Madrid goal with a close volley! He pulled a goal back for Borussia Dortmund, and most importantly, it reopened the gap between the two sides, and Dortmund also scored an away goal...... It was not easy to score three goals in a 0:3 situation, but Atletico Madrid finally scored two goals, but Zhou Yi's goal made all their previous efforts come to naught!"
"Yan Min's breakthrough! beautiful! pass...... Eh, Zhouyi, good ball, good ball, clean and neat slash to the ground!" He Ping was also very excited. "He scored the crucial goal, it was like he had smashed a nail into Atletico Madrid's chest!!"
After the goal, Zhou Yi was also very happy, he pointed at Yan Min and ran towards him, the biggest credit for this goal is actually recorded on Yan Min's body, if it wasn't for his breakthrough in turning decay into magic on the side, he would not have had any chance.
Yan Min also pointed at Zhou Yi and waited for Zhou Yi to come up.
Although his breakthrough was beautiful, if no one came to shoot the ball into the goal, then all the efforts made before were meaningless.
The two hugged each other, and more teammates flocked to them, surrounding them in the middle and making dumplings.
Atletico Madrid's home stadium, the Calderón Stadium, fell into a brief silence......
