Chapter 170: Touching the Ball First

readx;? The game continued to be so deadlocked, and the clock passed minute by minute like this stalemate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that the game was in the 65th minute, and there were still 25 minutes left before the end of the game, it could be said that the time left for Atletico Madrid was getting less and less, and the score on the scoreboard was like it was broken.

Simeone stood on the sidelines, very anxiously watching the situation inside the field, while constantly urging the players to press up and up and up again.

At this time, let alone Simeone, all Atletico Madrid fans have to think about not how many goals they can win, but whether they can win......

From Atletico Madrid's expectation of a goal difference before the game, to the current goal of just one goal, Atletico Madrid's goal has dropped again and again.

But even if it is minimized, it is very difficult to achieve.

Because before coming to Madrid, Dortmund had already unified their minds for this game and prepared for half a week, which was to defend.

Defensively, Borussia Dortmund are very hard. The offensive characteristics of Atletico Madrid have also been thoroughly studied, so they can be targeted when defending.

That's why they were able to withstand the home team's 65 minutes of bombardment on the road.

Of course, this is also indispensable to Zhou Yi's low team to play pass and control the ball to delay time.

In short, when the game was getting closer and closer to the end, Atletico Madrid's side finally couldn't sit still. Simeone began to make substitutions, and the replacement was all offensive players, which was a gamble.

If you don't win at home, it will be harder to play away from home.

With twenty minutes to go, Atletico Madrid finally pressed all the way.

Pressing on all fronts did increase Dortmund's defensive pressure sharply, but in Zhou Yi's eyes, it also meant more opportunities.

In his opinion, after Atletico Madrid pressed all the lines, the void in their back line could simply be used to run horses......

※※※

In the 73rd minute, Atletico Madrid laid siege to Dortmund in front, with three consecutive shots on goal in two minutes, and the ball was not out of bounds to form a dead ball, which added to the tension.

During this time, Dortmund fans felt like they were sitting on a boat on a rough sea, with huge waves weighing down overhead, threatening to crush the poor one at any moment.

However, after Atletico Madrid's last shot was saved by Weidenfeller, the football did not return to the feet of the Atletico Madrid players, but fell to the side of the Dortmund players.

Subotic pushed the ball out of the box with his head.

Then Sven Bender headed the ball forward.

After two consecutive aerial relays, the football came to Zhou Yi's side.

After Zhou Yi unloaded the flying football with his chest, he did not choose to stop the ball, but raised his foot and kicked the football that was still in the air directly to the side, where there was Gotze who retreated to participate in the defense.

After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not continue to stay in place, but turned around and ran forward.

Gotze quickly passed the football back, and Zhou Yi didn't go to see the football before receiving the ball, nor did he look at the situation around him, but looked up and looked ahead.

When the ball rolled in front of him, he did not stop the ball or adjust, but directly kicked the ball with his right foot to the still rolling football, and the outside of his right foot accurately slashed the left side of the ball, and the ball that rose into the air drew a very obvious arc in the air and turned to the right side of the court.

There Royce is cutting forward at high speed!

When the Atletico Madrid players were all pressed on the attack, the back line was empty, and Zhou Yi's pass was very decisive and sudden, and it didn't give the Atletico Madrid defense any time to react at all, so when Reus stepped forward, there was no Atletico Madrid player in front of him!

In other words, as long as he can take this ball down, it is likely to be a one-knife ball directly facing goalkeeper Sun Pan!

"Zhou Yi - beautiful transfer!" He Ping shouted excitedly, in the previous game, Zhou Yi was always passing horizontally or back, and there were too few passes like this that were full of phenomenal power. People stay up late in front of the TV and wait, don't they just want to see such a pass?

Marcel Leif was thrilled with the prospect of the goal: "Good goal! Deadly diagonal pass! This is the opportunity that Dortmund have been waiting for!

As the football flew through the air, a loud shrill boo rang out over Calderón Stadium.

Atletico Madrid fans are also aware that danger is coming. The football in the air is like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and it is descending little by little!

As Royce ran forward, he didn't forget to look back at the flight path of the football.

Zhou Yi's kick added a strong spin to the football, and it was not easy to stop the ball.

If someone was close to him, Royce really wasn't sure he would be able to stop the ball properly.

But now he doesn't have such troubles, because he doesn't have a single Atletico Madrid player within a radius of ten meters around him!

This is a real one-knife ball!

He can stop the ball calmly, just like receiving a pass from Zhou Yi in training.

He adjusted his pace, lifted his right leg, hooked his ankle inward, and when the flying soccer ball hit the inside of his foot, his right leg naturally opened outward, making a cushion, and at the same time pushing his right foot forward, sending the ball forward.

So that the ball does not stop directly at his feet, then it will be difficult for him to control the ball at high speed.

The soccer ball obediently jumped onto the turf in front of him, and although there was still a jump, this level of bouncing was no longer difficult for Royce. Reus, who slowed down slightly because of the stoppage, stepped a little steadily, and immediately accelerated, caught up with the football, and killed towards the Atletico Madrid penalty area.

At this time, Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin was still desperately running into the penalty area - he couldn't care about chasing Reuss, after all, it was closer to go straight back to the box than to chase Reuss diagonally.

Just when Royce just stopped the football, Sun Pan, who was in front of the goal, had already decisively abandoned the goal, and he accelerated and rushed towards Royce, completely ignoring the space behind him.

If Royce looks up at this time, he can see the space behind Sun Pan, and then he can choose to shoot.

But it's a pity that Royce didn't look up, all his attention was on the football under his feet, and when he adjusted the football and observed it again, Sun Pan was already close at hand!

As soon as Royce entered the penalty area, Sun Pan pounced, and without giving Royce time to make any other moves, Sun Pan slid sideways and reached out to push the football at Royce's feet aside!

Royce didn't expect the goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid to be so fast, in the face of Sun Pan who pounced, his brain couldn't think about what to do next, and reflexively plucked the ball at his feet, but he didn't kick the football, but mentioned Sun Pan's arm, and the football had already been taken away by Sun Pan!

But where did Royce know so clearly? He kicked Sun Pan's arm, and when he lost his balance and fell to the ground, he didn't forget to raise his hands and shout, hoping to attract the attention of the referee.

It's a penalty!

As soon as he entered the penalty area, he was tripped by the opposing goalkeeper and fell to the ground, what is this not a penalty?

He fell to the ground and didn't forget to look back at the referee.

But he didn't hear any whistles, maybe because the boos were too loud?

Next to him, Sun Pan had already gotten up from the ground and rushed out again as if he was sticking to the turf, Royce didn't notice Sun Pan's movements, he was now waiting for the referee's whistle.

Since the boos are too loud to hear the whistle, look back.

Royce, who fell to the ground, rolled over and could see the referee without looking back.

The referee turned out to be ...... Nothing at all!

Not a penalty?!

He was a little shocked - how could this be?! He had pulled me down......

Royce went to see Sun Pan again and found that Sun Pan had caught up with the football, and then kicked the football directly to the returning central defender Godin.

And Sun Pan, who had done all this, still had time to come back to find the confused Royce, and yelled at him: "Don't pretend, I touched the ball first!"

Over Calderón Stadium, the previously piercing boos had turned into deafening cheers, and all the Atletico Madrid fans were chanting Sun Pan's name.

In such an environment, the Spanish commentators had to desperately raise their voices so as not to be drowned out by the cheers: "Sun Pan! He made a very, very, very crucial save! He successfully stopped Dortmund's counterattack! This save is no less important than a goal! If Atletico Madrid can win at home in the end, then they should be grateful to Sun Pan for this save!" If they get a draw in the end, then they still have to thank Sun Pan for this play, at least they didn't let them fail because of this goal!"

Marcel Leif in the studio with his head in his hands: "Incredible, incredible...... Sun Pan's attack was so fast that he was like a cheetah, pounced on his food...... Royce miscalculated the distance between him and Sun Pan, as well as Sun Pan's speed. It's a pity that Dortmund missed their best scoring opportunity so far in this game, and I don't know if this will cause Dortmund any trouble in the second leg of the game......
