Chapter 220: A Turning Point in the Competition?

At half-time, Jurgen Klopp made changes to his team in response to the fact that the team was beaten by Bayern Munich's two wings in the final stages of the first half. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, Klopp's adjustment is not to strengthen the defense on the wing, but to ...... Strengthen the attack on the flanks.

He believes that in order to curb Bayern Munich's rampant wing attack, of course, it is necessary to use a more rampant wing attack than them. When Dortmund's wing attack was more intense, Bayern Munich's wing had to turn to the defense, and naturally there was no time to attack and threaten Dortmund's defense.

This approach of "countering violence with violence" is very much in line with Klopp's style, he doesn't care what happens when there is a gap behind him when he is attacking, and he has a lot of confidence in his players.

Coincidentally, in Bayern Munich's dressing room, Heynckes also asked his team to continue to strengthen the attack on both flanks in the second half.

"Use our speed on the flanks to crush them!"

Bayern Munich have more capital to play on the wing than Borussia Dortmund, because they have Robben and Lahm on the right and Ribery and Alaba on the left.

In comparison, Dortmund's attacking strength on the flanks is slightly worse, especially after Gotze went off injured, and Kuba has not been able to fully fill the void left by Gotze.

The managers of both teams unanimously chose the wing as the location for the decisive battle.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and no one made substitution adjustments.

Because of the same adjustment, the two teams pinned on the side as soon as they came up, and the bar was on the bar.

In the 46th minute, Reuss broke through on the right flank and sent a cross that Lewandowski was close to Boateng to send the ball away. A minute later, Bayern Munich launched a fast attack on the left wing by Ribery, he and Schweinsteiger made a collision with the wall, dribbled the ball to Dortmund's penalty area, but when he finally broke through, it was a little bigger, and Piszczek seized the opportunity to cut in, protect the football, and let the football roll off the line.

In the fiftieth minute, again on the wing, Bayern Munich launched a very threatening attack. Alaba sent the ball over the top from the left side of the field and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Gomez was on the receiving end of the ball when he was picked up by Hummels and surrounded by Piszczek. Under pressure from two Borussia Dortmund players, Gomes was not able to control the football very well. The ball rolled out, and Weidenfeller struck quickly, preemptively kicking Thomas Müller out!

The two teams played a big wide attack, with Ribery, Robben, Lahm, Alaba, Reuss, Kuba, Piszczek, Schmelzer and other wide players active and appearing in close-ups on several occasions.

In contrast, the players in the middle are a little more quiet.

During this time, Zhou Yi did the most work to divide the football into sides, and then divide the sides.

In fact, his job is still quite important, because choosing the right time to pass the ball is often related to the success or failure of the attack, if the pass is early, the teammate will not receive the ball. After the pass, it slowed down the attack and gave the opponent time to set up the defensive line.

But as important as this work is, it's not cool enough to be showy. How can a simple pass be more eye-catching than a dashing dribble on the wing?

Unless Zhou Yi's every pass is a "NO_LOOK_PASS", or a fancy pass with his heel.

But it's impossible to do.

※※※

Although Zhou Yi's appearance rate during this period is not as high as that of the wide players of the two teams, it does not mean that he can be ignored.

In the 58th minute, Zhou Yi received the ball at the edge of Bayern Munich's penalty area, he turned to the right side, as if to pass the football to Reuss who received on the side, Bayern Munich reacted quickly, and the overall defensive focus shifted to that side.

Zhou Yi leaned back and picked up his right foot, as if he was really going to pass the football over, and even Gustavo in front of him stepped to intercept the pass.

But Zhou Yi's right foot swept past the side of the football, and then quickly swung back, and the inside of his heel knocked the football from behind him to the middle!

At the same time, he quickly turned around and turned to the middle lane!

Then, without giving anyone time to react, he shoots with his foot just one step away from the top of the free throw arc!

It was so unexpected that Bayern Munich's players didn't react.

For example, Boateng, who was on the shooting route, didn't even have time to hide his outstretched arms before the football crashed into it!

Handball!

Zhou Yi raised his arm for the first time and signaled to the referee.

Without making him wait, Gagelman's whistle sounded almost simultaneously.

"Penalty?!yes, penalty!" Marcel Leif said in a confirmed tone after seeing Gagelman's gesture.

Gagelman whistled as he ran towards the penalty area, and his hands ...... Also pointed to the penalty spot!

This series of actions proved that it was a penalty kick!

The Munich radio commentator shouted for Boateng: "This is the ball hitter, Boateng has already stopped the action, but he can't pass the football quickly! This penalty is too far-fetched!"

At first glance, it makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. If Boateng was hit by a football with his hands tightly attached to his body at the time, Gagelman would have to argue about a penalty, but when Boateng touched the ball, his arm was open, so it had to be a penalty, not to mention that Boateng was about to stop, as long as he didn't go back, then this kind of defense is meaningless.

You must know that in the World Cup in 98 that year, in the group stage between Italy and Chile, Robert Baggio kicked the Chilean player in the arm outside the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded Italy a penalty, and finally Roberto Baggio himself hit the penalty to solve his penalty nightmare in the United States four years ago.

So referee Gagelman's penalty was no problem.

Boateng and the rest of the Bayern Munich players also tried to appeal from this angle, but Gagelman was unimpressed and insisted on his decision, standing at the penalty spot, waving his head and signaling them to back off.

"Eh, penalty, it's a penalty!" Dortmund won the penalty!" Duan Xin shouted. Judging from the slow motion, when Zhou Yi shot, Boateng really wanted to dodge, but his arm did not dodge...... But in terms of rules, there is no problem with this penalty award!"

There is also a heated discussion on the Internet: "Damn, this ball is a ball hitter!"

"What's wrong with the ball hitter? If you open your arms so wide, even if you get kicked by a football, it's a penalty!"

"Zhou Yi wouldn't have deliberately targeted Boateng, right?"

"Well, he shouldn't be that precise with his footwork......"

"That's hard to say......"

※※※

No one knows whether Zhou Yi really did it on purpose, but after the penalty was awarded, he was hugged by Gundogan next to him for the first time, and Lewandowski and Kuba also ran up to high-five Zhou Yi to celebrate.

In any case, this penalty was created by Zhou Yi.

It was Lewandowski who had already scored a goal in the game and will be looking to score twice in the face of the opportunity.

Lewandowski put the ball on the penalty spot and stepped away, ready to run for the penalty.

The West** Stadium, which had been very noisy before, fell silent.

Everyone was watching with bated breath in front of Bayern Munich's goal.

Especially in the south stand of the West** Stadium behind the goal, those Dortmund fans couldn't move, for fear of interfering with Lewandowski.

'Borussia Dortmund won a penalty and it was a great chance to break the deadlock...... As long as Dortmund can hold on to the lead, they can win this crucial game!"

"So far this season, Lewandowski has scored 24 goals and is currently the top scorer in the league. Two more goals than Leverkusen's Kiessling, and if this goal were to be scored again, it would extend the advantage over Kiessling...... It will help him win the top scorer of the season!"

The chatter of the commentators ceased as soon as Lewandowski took his feet.

For a moment, there was silence inside and outside the TV.

In the silence, referee Gagelman's whistle was unusually clear.

Lewandowski in the camera takes a deep breath, then runs, and kicks the ball with the instep of his right foot straight!

With a bang, the ball was kicked hard by Lewandowski into the bottom right corner of the goal, which was a very difficult place, but as long as it hit the goal frame, the goal rate was super high.

The goalkeeper's favourite penalty is a half-high kick that the opponent kicks to their sides, while sticking to the ball is the last thing they want to face.

Lewandowski certainly knew this, so to be on the safe side, he kicked the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!

When the football was kicked, Lewandowski felt a sense of "this ball is here".

But then, he saw Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in front of the goal pounce on the bottom right corner of the goal with an arrow step!

He seemed to have known that Lewandowski was going to kick that way, even before Lewandowski kicked his shot!

He was like a torpedo flying close to the sea, accurately hitting the target ship and pounced on the football in front of the goal line!
