Chapter 118: Pressure

When everyone thought that the first half would end with a score of 1:1, no one expected Zhou Yi's sudden cold shot in front of the goal, but it caused a goal. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When the goal took place, the Bernabeu stadium fell silent for about a second, and then there was a shrill boo.

It's just that no one knows if this boo is for Dortmund, or for Real Madrid, whether it is for Zhou Yi who shoots, or for Abeloa, who blocked the football into the goal......

Anyway, the familiar boos rang out again at the Bernabeu stadium.

Amid boos, Zhou Yi and his Dortmund team-mates hugged and celebrated the goal. And they celebrated like crazy, because the goal came so suddenly, and there was a sense of happiness that they were hit by pies on the street.

And the first half ended directly in their favor.

After blowing the whistle for Zhou Yi's goal, referee Kakiel followed up with the whistle for the end of the first half.

The boos at the Bernabeu were even louder.

This time it seems certain that their boos were given to the referee of the match, Kakiel. The referee didn't give Real Madrid any more time, and if Real Madrid could equalize and end the first half, it would be a perfect referee.

But alas, the referee Kakir didn't give them much face.

The Borussia Dortmund players celebrated as they walked off the pitch.

The score of the first half was played on the screen, and Dortmund led Real Madrid 2-1 away from home. There are also goalscorers above the score. It's just that Zhou Yi's goal shows that it was not scored by Zhou Yi, but an own goal by Arbeloa.

"The broadcaster seems to have counted this goal on Arbeloa, it's a pity that Zhou Yi and the Champions League goal missed out like this......"

He Ping felt sorry for Zhou Yi, how good it would be if this ball was considered Zhou Yijin.

He Ping felt sorry for playing Zhou Yi, but Marcel Leif was happy for Dortmund: "To be ahead of Real Madrid away from home is a full reflection of Dortmund's progress and growth. I think they've certainly been the fastest growing team in Europe in the past two seasons. When Klopp's 'youth army' matures, they will be something that the whole of Europe will not dare to ignore!"

Beating Real Madrid on their home turf, Borussia Dortmund's victory also feels like there is some kind of mysterious force to influence them. But being ahead of Real Madrid away from home makes it impossible for those who are picky in the eggs to find anything wrong.

"Zhou Yi's late goal must have disrupted Mourinho's plan, but unfortunately he had already left the field early and did not see the goal. But he will definitely hear the boos at the Bernabeu, and he will definitely guess that it was his team that conceded a goal!

※※※

Mourinho didn't really see the goal conceded, but he heard a deafening boo from outside in the tunnel and he realised something was wrong.

But he didn't rush out to see what was going on, he just paused for a moment, and then accelerated towards the locker room.

His assistant coach would tell him what was going on in a moment.

This goal did make him a little upset, it was supposed to be a draw, and he was already thinking about how to break the deadlock in the second half and then hold on to the win. As a result, it was now a goal down, and the previous plan was useless, and he had to rethink how to equalize as soon as possible in the second half, and then overtake......

At the same time, he has to think about the change in mentality of the players.

Seeing that the first half was about to end, but conceding a goal, the blow to the morale of the players was huge.

In football, the mentality and morale of players are often an important reason for determining the outcome of the game.

He not only has to arrange tactics, but also to get the players back on their feet, and it may be useless to just throw a tantrum and curse.

It's really a thousand things, and when he thinks of this lost goal, he secretly gritted his teeth. This goal came at an inopportune time!

※※※

Mourinho's worries and worries were justified, from the goal conceded to the end of the game, the Real Madrid players were not in high spirits, and some of them even had confused expressions on their faces, and they couldn't believe that the team had conceded a goal in the last dozen seconds of the first half......

The last-minute goal was a blow to them.

Coupled with the boos at the Bernabeu stadium, I don't know if it was aimed at them, but it fell on their ears, which was very harsh, and it further affected their mood.

After the break, Jose Mourinho made his changes.

When the players from both sides returned to the pitch, two Real Madrid players stood on the sidelines, waiting to be substituted.

Mourinho changed two people in one go, leaving only one card in his hand. This can see how far Zhou Yi's shot before the end of the first half forced him.

Higuain was replaced by Callejon, a young talent cultivated by Real Madrid themselves, and Mourinho hoped to use Callejon's momentum to attack Dortmund's backline and create a little chaos for Dortmund.

In addition, he replaced Luka Modric with Essien.

Isn't it strange and unreasonable to replace an organizational midfielder with an engineer when it is necessary to attack?

But it's not. Real Madrid, who are confident of winning Borussia Dortmund at home, sent out four starting midfielders from Xavi Alonso, Luka Modric, Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil. All four of these men are more attack-oriented, and their defensive ability is weak, and only Xavi Alonso may be able to defend a little, but he is not a full-time defender.

What does this create?

When Dortmund counterattacked, Real Madrid lacked an effective means of interception in the midfield, and the four midfielders were not good at defending, so they were easily penetrated by Dortmund's counterattack, and then faced directly at the back.

In the second half, when Real Madrid were to further intensify their attack, there would be more space behind them, which was bound to cause Dortmund to counterattack. At this time, if the midfielder does not have the interception power, it is simply an indirect assist for Dortmund.

So bring on Essien and let Essien defend in midfield, so that others can rest assured that they can boldly press on the attack and put pressure on Dortmund.

So although an attacking player was replaced and a defensive player was replaced, in fact, Mourinho's adjustment was really to strengthen Real Madrid's attacking strength in the second half.

With the substitutions of Essien and Callejon, Real Madrid's attack did become more dangerous in the second half, as the attacking players could be more involved in the attack, and Mourinho's half-time adjustments did play a role.

In the face of Real Madrid's aggressive attack, Dortmund soon felt the pressure.

In the 57th and 65th minutes, Grosskloitz and Hummel were fouled in defense and received a yellow card.

Feeling the pressure from Real Madrid, Jurgen Klopp made a substitution, replacing Reus with midfielder Sven Bender.

This is obviously a posture to strengthen the defense.

But it backfired, and not long after he made a substitution, Real Madrid scored. In the 77th minute, Mesut Ozil equalized for Real Madrid!

"Mesut Ozil!!"

The entire Santiago Bernabeu stadium turned into a sea of boiling at that moment, and everyone jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and chanting.

Amid their cheers, Real Madrid players flocked to Mesut Ozil, hugging in the corner flag area and waving their fists and arms into the stands, while the Real Madrid fans responded with even louder cheers.

At this time, the Bernabeu finally showed its terrifying power as Real Madrid's home stadium!

Marcel Leif comforted the players immediately after conceding the goal, in fact, he was also relieving the pressure on the Dortmund fans in front of the TV: "I don't want to see the goal. But it doesn't matter, a draw is also an acceptable outcome for Borussia Dortmund. Now we should be more patient than Real Madrid!"

"Real Madrid's attacking firepower is still quite strong, and after their own home stadium, after being completely unscrupulous, Dortmund did not resist. He Ping regretted that Dortmund could not keep the victory, but he also quickly defended Dortmund. "Luckily, Borussia Dortmund have beaten Real Madrid at home, so as long as they don't lose to Real Madrid in this game, they will have an advantage in the win-loss relationship. For Borussia Dortmund now, they still have the upper hand. As long as it can be held, there is nothing unacceptable about this result......"

The fans also understand that it is true that the result of the draw against Real Madrid away from home is already very good, what else do you want?

Borussia Dortmund are more than capable of accepting this draw.

Real Madrid can't.

They have only one goal at home, and that is to win!

Only by winning Dortmund can they have a chance to compete with Dortmund for the top spot in the group in the future, and if they draw, they may have to look at the face of others to see whether they can become the top of the group.

So as soon as the Real Madrid group finished their goal celebrations, Mourinho played his last card.

He replaced Abeloa with Kaka.

Replace an attacking striker, replace a full-back, what Mourinho means is obvious, continue to strengthen the attack, must score another goal in the remaining ten minutes, win Dortmund!

It is conceivable that Dortmund will be under more defensive pressure than before in these ten minutes, which will definitely be a serious test for their backline! )
