Chapter 215: Attention from a long-cherished enemy
Favre didn't think long because the situation waited for no one. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
While he was pondering, the game on the pitch had restarted, Dortmund still maintained a very fast pace and high intensity, constantly putting pressure on Borussia Mönchengladbach's backline, and the fans in the stands of the West** stadium were also desperately making noise to cheer for Dortmund.
From the players to the fans, they are united to win Borussia Mönchengladbach at home.
In the eighty-first minute, Yan Min tried to break through on the left side unsuccessfully, and passed the football back to Zhou Yi, who came up to meet him, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball to adjust, but faced the football passed back by Yan Min, and directly turned sideways with the outside instep of his right foot and suddenly passed the football to the goal.
He pinpointed Reuss who had entered the box.
Reus leaned on Borussia Mönchengladbach's defenders, raised his foot to stop the ball passed by Zhou Yi, and then he dribbled horizontally, shook off the defenders, and shook down the other two Mönchengladbach defenders who were blocking head-on.
Royce continued to dribble horizontally, but the space left for him was already very small, and he had just pulled the ball out horizontally, and Mark, who was standing next to him, met the ball with an incredible kick!
This change caught the Borussia Mönchengladbach defenders off guard, especially the Borussia Mönchengladbach captain, the No. 3 defender Philippe Dammes, who was close to the football, and his hand habitually rose and appeared on the track of the football, and then the two sides collided fiercely!
The ball bounced off and flew off, and he quickly fell to the ground, covering his face with the hand that touched the ball, making the appearance of blocking the shot with his face......
But all this did not escape the eyes of the Dortmund players, and Reus immediately raised his arm and signaled for Damus to handball!
Mark, who then shot at goal, also raised his hand and jumped up, while also clapping his right hand with his left hand to alert the referee.
There was also cheering from the stands.
But the referee didn't say anything!
"It's a ...... Penalty, right?" Duan Xin saw that the referee didn't say anything, and he was a little unsure.
Marcel Leif was sure: "Penalty! Dams blocked Mark's shot with his hand!
The TV broadcast was quick to give the scene a slow motion, and it also used technical means to make the scene clearer when it was replayed, and immediately after Mark's shot, the TV broadcast enlarged Dams's position separately and framed it, so that everyone could clearly see that the football was indeed blocked by Dams's raised hand......
"This is really a penalty!" Duan Xin also complained about Dortmund after seeing this scene.
How important and crucial was this penalty at a time when Dortmund needed a win the most?
But the referee didn't say anything!
Because the game was still going on, the Dortmund players couldn't even continue to theorize with the referee.
The head coach on the sidelines, Jurgen Klopp, roared angrily, then turned to the fourth official to theorize: "It's a penalty, it's very obvious, they fouled the handball!"
However, the fourth official ignored him, and just pressed down with his hands to remind Klopp to stay calm.
Klopp naturally thought about the fact that he was sent to the stands for contradicting the referee. The team is in this situation, and if he is sent off to the stands again, it will be a huge loss for the team.
So although Klopp was very unhappy, he had no choice but to hold back his anger.
Faced with such a situation, he could only spread his hands and smile helplessly.

The penalty was not awarded and Borussia Mönchengladbach escaped.
It was also a wake-up call for Favre to make a quick decision or the team would be doomed.
And this handball also made him realize that with Dortmund's current attacking determination, it is difficult not to concede a goal if Borussia Mönchengladbach does not defend with all his might. Now is not the time to think about a counterattack, and Borussia Mönchengladbach has no energy left to fight back......
So he immediately asked the whole team to shrink their defense and make sure to hold on to the draw.

On the pitch, after a dead ball, the Dortmund players tried to run to the referee's theory of the decision.
But Zhou Yi shouted loudly: "What are you doing, delaying time?!"
The game was already in the last ten minutes, but he still couldn't score, and he was in a hurry.
At this point in the game, Dortmund pressed all the way, and it was completely a desperate style of play. Centre-back Hummels has moved up the front line from the centre-back position, acting as a central striker.
On the pitch, every time Borussia Mönchengladbach's players rubbed a little bit with the ball, shrill boos echoed from the stands.
Both managers stood on the sidelines, nervously watching the game inside the pitch.
As the game went on, the race became more and more intense, and the air was burning and suffocating.
Marcel Leif suddenly said: "The Bayern Munich game will start immediately after this game, I wonder if Bayern Munich, who has now arrived at the Allianz Arena, is not paying attention to this game?"
※※※
At the Allianz Arena, the Bayern Munich players have warmed up on the pitch and are ready to change their clothes and make final preparations for the upcoming game.
In the locker room, there were no coaches, not a single one.
The coaches are outside.
They are really concerned about this game between Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Bayern Munich have been in excellent form this season and are now not only the best team in defense, but also the strongest in attack, with more goals than Borussia Dortmund to 72.
However, Bayern Munich, who have performed so well, have not been able to secure the league title so far, all because of the tenacious performance of their old rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund have had a lot of difficulties this season and their performance is much worse than last season, but even so, they still bite Bayern Munich tightly and put a lot of pressure on Bayern Munich.
At first, Pep Guardiola didn't really take Dortmund seriously, so he would say in interviews that they would "focus on me" and didn't care about how Dortmund was.
Now, with the league going on, Dortmund can always win despite stumbling, and Guardiola has to cast his eyes on this opponent.
Pep Guardiola found his coaching staff huddled around assistant coach Herman Grande and appeared to be arguing over a topic.
"What's wrong?" Guardiola asked outside the crowd.
Hearing Guardiola's voice, everyone stopped arguing and turned their heads to look at him.
Assistant coach Herman Grande explained: "It's still 2-2, but there was controversy on the pitch. Borussia Dortmund, for their part, thought they deserved a penalty and Borussia Mönchengladbach's defender Dams was suspected of handball in the box......
"It's a suspected handball, it's not at all, it's a ball hitter. Dams is too close to dodge ......," snorted the team's fitness coach, Lorenzo Buenaventura, a close confidant of Pep Guardiola, who doesn't have to pay much attention to Hermann Grande, who is a former Bayern Munich member.
"Oh?" Guardiola was interested, picking up the iPad in Grande's hand, and the live broadcast screen on it was replaying the controversial scene just now.
After reading "well...... Guardiola did not express an opinion. Neither supporting the referee's decision nor questioning it, he simply said: "Anyway, this matter will definitely affect the psychological mood of the Dortmund players." ”
Buenaventura sneered, "Who's to say it isn't? Klopp was almost sent to the stands again, and he endured it again and again to not roar at the fourth official." It's a pity he held back ......"
Hearing him say this, everyone else laughed.
They all know Klopp's personality and temperament. I have been banned for complaining about the referee before, and if I am banned again this time, it will be really good news for Bayern Munich. That's why I think it's a pity that he can't hold back......
"Now it seems that Nordvede's red card may have been the key to deciding the final outcome of the game......
"Well, it looks like Dortmund Deli, but it's not ......"
"Dortmund's luck this season has really not been bad......"
"Who made them beat us twice in a row last season?"
"Hey ......"
The coaches were discussing again, and Guardiola coughed, drawing attention back to him.
'It doesn't matter how the opponent plays, as long as we do our best, they won't have any chances. He said.
"Yes, as long as we don't make mistakes, Dortmund won't have any chance no matter how tenacious they are. Grande nodded.
Other coaches echoed the same chorus.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have one more chance to speak head-to-head, albeit at the Allianz Arena, but not to be taken lightly. If we can completely open the gap between the two sides before that game, we can make that game at the Allianz Arena meaningless.
And now it seems that maybe today is a good opportunity.
