Chapter 177: A Great Opportunity
The Atletico Madrid players were frantically celebrating the goal, while the Dortmund players were a little confused and disappointed, they did not see the game live, and they did not know that Diego Costa's goal was offside, otherwise they would have protested and complained to the referee. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But even if they protested, it would be useless.
It is rare for a referee to change a decision he has already made, let alone that the rules do not allow the referee to change the decision by means of television footage.
So even if they knew that the ball was offside, they could only suffer this dumb loss.
It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, Dortmund's luck is just too bad.
Originally, it was a back-to-back battle at his home stadium, but he also let the opponent score an away goal in the form of an offside goal...... Now down on aggregate and conceding two away goals, Dortmund will still be knocked out of the competition even if they equalise again.
What's more, this conceded goal can greatly damage the morale of the team......
In the game, morale is very important.
For the first time, there was silence in the stands at the Wester** stadium, and many Dortmund fans held their heads in their hands, looking at the Atletico Madrid players in the stadium in some confusion, forgetting to greet them with boos.
The situation is already extremely unfavorable for Dortmund.
Is this the end of our Champions League campaign this season?
The goal conceded in the 81st minute was too lethal in terms of time......

When the game resumed, Marcel Leif was still complaining about Dortmund's goal: "It's an offside goal, the linesman should have seen it, but the referee made such a big mistake! I don't know how many media outlets will question the goal after the game, but I think it will certainly not be less. β
He Ping also regretted Dortmund's bad luck, but his mood was slightly more stable than Marcel Leif, after all, even if Dortmund were eliminated and Atletico Madrid advanced, there would still be a Chinese player in the game. Zhou Yi is out and Sun Pan is promoted, which is acceptable for Chinese football.
β...... It would be a shame if Dortmund were knocked out...... But that's football, and misjudgment is part of football, and while the Hawkeye system has been introduced to determine whether a goal has been scored, it hasn't been applied to determining offside......"

Simeone made a quick change after the restart, bringing on substitute centre-back Domingo Sisma for Falcao, who set up Diego Costa's goal.
Replace a striker and add a centre-back. It's already clear what Simone means.
Atletico Madrid have stepped up their defence and are trying to hold on for the final 10 minutes.
Even if you can't stand it, you want to concede only one goal.
In this way, Atletico Madrid will qualify for the semi-finals.
When Falcao came off the pitch, there was a huge boo at the West** Stadium, which was given to Falcao, not because Falcao assisted Diego Costa, but because Falcao's assist was an offside goal, which Dortmund fans were unhappy about.

"Alas, this lost ......" Guo Nu sighed in the group, he still hoped that Zhou Yi would be able to advance.
"Borussia Dortmund had bad luck in this game, they came up and allowed the opponent to score first, and now they have conceded another offside goal. Yang Muge also said. "I hope Zhou Yi will not be affected. β
When he said this, the TV broadcast happened to give Zhou Yi a close-up.
As the core of the team, Zhou Yi will naturally attract attention. What does the so-called core mean? It's not just about icing on the cake when the team wins, it's also about stepping up when the team is in trouble.
When Dortmund encounters difficulties, it is natural for everyone to think of Zhou Yi.
Look at him and see what he can do.
However, in the minds of many people, they actually feel that this kind of practice of pinning their hopes on Zhou Yi is a kind of demanding on Zhou Yi.
With little time left in the game, even if Zhou Yi is possessed by God, I am afraid that what he can do is very limited, after all, he is an organizer, not a goal machine, no matter how good he passes, he also needs his teammates to convert his passes into goals. If his team-mates are not in good shape and their minds are not on the game, it is just a waste of the opportunities he has worked so hard to create.

Dortmund did not fight back immediately after the restart, but instead Atletico Madrid, who had just taken the lead, created a dangerous attacking chance, and finally Diego Costa's shot slid out of the net, just a little bit behind.
Boos from the Dortmund fans rang out from the stands, which they gave to Diego Costa, who had scored in an offside position.
At this time, Zhou Yi found Shahin.
"I'll go up in a moment, so I'll leave the rest to you, Nuri. β
Sha Xin looked at the front and knew what Zhou Yi was going to do, so he nodded: "Don't worry, I will pass the football to you." β
In the last ten minutes, if Dortmund are to open wide, then Zhou Yi will not be able to stay in the midfield position, he must be more forward, closer to the Atletico Madrid goal, only in this way can he create more and bigger threats.
β»β»β»
After explaining to Sha Xin, when the game was played again, Zhou Yi's position obviously moved forward a lot.
Anyone who sees this knows why this is happening.
It's just that they don't know if this is Zhou Yi's own decision or Klopp's adjustment.
Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines with some nervousness, watching everything on the pitch closely.
He also saw the difference in Zhou Yi's position, and knew why Zhou Yi did it.
This is not his decision, but Zhou Yi's own.
But he didn't say anything to let Zhou Yi listen to his arrangement, but let Zhou Yi do it, at this time, the coach must not have a player on the front line of the battle who understands the situation on the field better, Zhou Yi does this, naturally he has a reason, so let him do it.

After Zhou Yi's position, he became a forward midfielder, closer to Atletico Madrid's penalty area, and of course, the defensive pressure he faced from Atletico Madrid was naturally greater.
In the eyes of many people, Zhou Yi's approach may not be a good choice, because he exposed himself directly to the menacing defenders of Atletico Madrid, how could his small body withstand the impact of the Atletico Madrid defenders?
The space and time he needed to play would be gone, or hard to obtain, so close to the Atletico Madrid goal.
So even if he's close to goal, how can he put in a good enough performance to help the team turn the tide?
It seems to have become a paradox - if you don't go forward, you don't threaten, if you go forward, if you are restrained or not threatening.
After Zhou Yi went up, he did feel more pressure.
No sooner had he received the ball than the ball was tackled by Godin, and he himself was taken to the ground.
Referee Thomson didn't say anything, in fact, Godin's goal was indeed not a foul and should not be stopped. But there were still boos in the stands, and since Thomson blew Diego Costa's offside goal into a valid goal, the Dortmund fans have been unpleasant to the Scottish referee.
Zhou Yi got up from the ground and did not complain about the referee, he was still looking for an opportunity.
There was not much time left for him and the entire Dortmund team, and he didn't have time to argue with the referee.
He kept running back and forth in the front court, raising his hand to ask his teammates for the ball, even though he was always following the Atletico Madrid players.

Time passes by the second - the passage of time is no longer measured in minutes, in which case there is really not much time left for Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund pressed all over the line and laid siege to Atletico Madrid's penalty area. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, retreated in full force and shrank into their own 30-meter zone.
Zhou Yi decided to go one step further, even if the opponent fouled outside the penalty area, it was just a free kick, which was not well-known.
What happens if you get into the restricted area?
Atletico Madrid's players are more or less jealous and don't dare to make too many moves on themselves.
Thinking of this, when Gotze got the ball on the side, Zhou Yi decisively rushed into the penalty area and ran towards Gotze.
Gotze also saw Zhou Yi's forward insertion, so he quickly passed the football over.
At this time, Zhou Yi was still accompanied by Gabi, a player from Atletico Madrid.
With Gabi almost close to the defense, Zhou Yi suddenly accelerated, facing the football, and then stuck Gabi behind him and caught the football.
However, Gabi is not a vegetarian, although he was stuck behind by Zhou Yi and couldn't reach the football for a while, he didn't give up defense, but stuck firmly behind Zhou Yi and didn't let him turn around.
Gabi thinks that as long as Zhou Yi is not allowed to turn around, there will be no threat to his goal.
But Zhou Yi didn't think so, since they were all in the forbidden area, it didn't make a difference whether they turned around or not.
He leaned back and held Gabi to prevent him from suddenly looping the ball forward.
Then he leaned to the right side and made a move to break through from that side, and sure enough, Zhou Yi's back felt that Gabi behind him was shifting his center of gravity.
And this is just Zhou Yi's feint, after the deception was redoubled, he raised his right foot, bypassed the left foot supporting his body from the front, and suddenly knocked the football to the left back!
And Gabby just passed by!
The ball was knocked into the middle of the penalty area, and there, Shaheen rushed up and received the ball!
"Great opportunity!!"
"Beautiful!Wonderful heel pass!!"
Amid the shouts of the commentators, Shahin received Zhou Yi's ball with almost no one marking, and he did not continue to dribble the ball, but chose to kick it directly...... Volley!
"Shaheenβ!!"
Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice.
But in the midst of his long roar, Shaheen had just shot out to get the football, and he hit a "mountain" - Sun Pan, who was attacking, pounced sideways, his raised hip bone was the peak, the football hit it, bounced upward, and then ...... Over the beam!
"Ahh......h
That's a close knock on the door!!(To be continued.) )
