Chapter 177: Recalling the fear of being dominated by Dortmund

Not long after Schiebert's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Hoffenheim players came off the pitch with a "relieved" look.

The Dortmund players were clearly reluctant to end the first half, and they were also reluctant to be interrupted after they had finally recovered their form.

But what's the solution?

Rules are rules and must be followed.

The camera cut to Dortmund's dugout again, and Klopp's face was solemn and frowning.

This is in line with everyone's judgment of the situation - Dortmund pulled a goal back, but just after the goal ended in the first half, the game went into a fifteen-minute half-time break, which was not a good thing for Dortmund. This halftime was equivalent to saving Hoffenheim's life.

“...... If Dortmund had scored 10 minutes earlier, Dortmund would have equalised before the break......" Duan Xin said regretfully. "Now......"

He also felt that the situation was not going in Dortmund's favor.

In the Hoffenheim dressing room, head coach Giesdor said to his players with a serious face: "You should be ashamed of the performance in the second half of the first half! A two-goal lead would have allowed Borussia Dortmund to pull a goal back and almost have equalised, if it hadn't been for the referee's half-time whistle!"

As Gisdor thought when he conceded the goal, after conceding the goal, the Hoffenheim players were very honest and trained with their heads down.

He believes that after this warning of conceding a goal, his words will be taken to the hearts of the players, and then they will not play so badly in the second half.

It's really a blessing for Seon to lose his horse.

Meanwhile, in the Dortmund dressing room, Jurgen Klopp was encouraging his players: "You did a good job, you were just a little bit unlucky, so we didn't score until the end of the first half. But it doesn't matter...... Are we not going to be able to win the game? Who are we? We are the defending champions of the league! We have won the league in the last three seasons in a row, and with our strength, even if it is a little difficult, can we not do anything with Hoffenheim? Hoffenheim is not a very strong opponent, I am confident that we can beat them, don't you?"

Saying this, the Borussia Dortmund players puffed up their chests, yes, they are the defending champions, champions for three consecutive seasons, when will they be afraid of a mere Hoffenheim?

They have never looked at an opponent like Hoffenheim before, and they have only one opponent in the league, and that is Bayern Munich.

This season, although they are in third place for the time being, their eyes are always on Bayern Munich, and even Bayer Leverkusen have not let them take a second look.

So why bow your head in front of Hoffenheim?

"In the second half we continued to attack, maybe Hoffenheim they have forgotten who we are, then we will make them think again, remember the fear of the league once dominated by us!"

Jurgen Klopp's impassioned words have successfully mobilized the fighting spirit and confidence of the players. The frustration and frustration of just scoring and ending the game at half time were swept away.

※※※

At the start of the second half, both men looked full of fighting spirit, full of spirits and ready to beat their opponents.

Jurgen Klopp didn't make any substitutions, believing in his players, even the substitutes.

This came as a surprise to many pundits - at half-time, when experts reviewed the first half and predicted the second half, they all thought that Klopp should make a substitution and bring on players like Mark and Reus. After all, Dortmund's bench thickness this season is not strong enough, and it is unrealistic to expect the second team to win the game.

As a result, Klopp did not make substitutions and continued to rotate the lineup.

This led many experts to believe that Dortmund decided to temporarily abandon the league and recharge for the Club World Cup.

But it didn't take long for the second half to start before the pundits felt something was wrong – Dortmund's attack was fierce, as it was before the end of the first half, and their form did not seem to be interrupted by the break.

On the other hand, Hoffenheim also showed the intention of attacking, but just two games against Dortmund, almost let Dortmund send football into their goal - the two sides played against each other, and the difference in strength between Dortmund and Hoffenheim was reflected.

The frightened Hoffenheim players hurriedly retreated to defend, and the defenders did not dare to press out to participate in the attack, for fear that Dortmund would score a counterattack......

Coach Gisdore didn't ask his players to attack at this time, and he also opted to shrink his defense, hoping to hold on to a one-goal lead.

As a result, they were pressed by Borussia Dortmund and the scene returned to the period before and after Dortmund's goal in the first half.

There were fears that Dortmund had just scored and that the first half would be over and that it would interrupt Dortmund's good form and give Hoffenheim a chance to breathe, but now it seems that they are thinking too much......

The continuous indiscriminate bombardment paid off at the sixty-seventh minute.

In the 67th minute, Dortmund took two consecutive shots and finally caused a corner.

From a corner, defender Piszczek grabbed the spot in the box and headed home!

"Piszczek !!," Marcel Leif shouted. "He equalised for Borussia Dortmund! Dortmund stubbornly equalised from two goals down!

"Piszczek's goal was very important! After the equaliser, Hoffenheim, who were playing at home, could no longer shrink their defence, they had to press out and attack. And when the time comes, the situation will obviously be more favorable to Dortmund!" Duan Xin was also very happy.

※※※

As the commentators said, after the equaliser, the situation on the pitch changed dramatically. Hoffenheim can't continue to defend, they have to attack, but they are passive, because of the hasty, the players are naturally not as good as Dortmund, who are actively attacking.

And there is a world of difference in morale between the two sides, with the morale of the Borussia Dortmund players who had just equalised high and Hoffenheim low.

In such a situation, the initiative of the game has completely fallen into the hands of Dortmund.

The next step is to see Dortmund perform.

Zhou Yi has become the existence that everyone pays the most attention to in the offensive frenzy during this time. Because his performance is directly related to whether Dortmund can win the game.

I saw Zhou Yi continue to run tirelessly, appearing everywhere he was needed, constantly receiving, passing, and handling the ball, and also guiding Dortmund's offensive.

Under his command, Borussia Dortmund constantly threatened Hoffenheim's goal.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were screaming and praying in their hearts for their team, hoping that God would bless their team not to lose - yes, now they don't expect the team to beat Borussia Dortmund, as long as they don't lose, and they are happy with a draw.

“...... At this time, Hoffenheim may have remembered that they faced last season's league champion and Champions League champion Borussia Dortmund, a lion who could not be beaten. Last season, Borussia Dortmund repeatedly showed their tenacity and magic to win games at the last minute. If Hoffenheim had remembered earlier, perhaps they would not have languished themselves after leading by two goals and Dortmund had taken the opportunity to turn over......," said Marcel Leif. If Hoffenheim can beat Dortmund 2-0 at home, although the season is not yet halfway through, it can already be said that Bayern Munich's league championship is basically stable...... As for now, they can only hope that Hoffenheim will draw with Dortmund at home, and it is better to let Dortmund take a point than let Dortmund take three, right?"

As soon as Marcel Leif finished speaking, he saw Yan Min suddenly cut inside with the ball on the side, and he was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and triggering a chain reaction - the other Hoffenheim defenders all pounced on him, and the few remaining Hoffenheim defenders were also staring at strikers like Schiebel.

At this time, Yan Min did not choose to continue to break through, nor did he choose to cross to Schiebel, he made an emergency stop, and then knocked the football back with his left foot, and came with an inverted triangle pass!

The football was passed outside the penalty area, and he tried so hard to break into the penalty area, just to pass the football out of the penalty area, because his breakthrough had compressed Hoffenheim's defense into the penalty area, and the edge of the penalty area instead formed an empty space!

I saw Zhou Yi outside the penalty area facing the football from Yan Min, picked up his right foot, and shot directly without stopping the ball!

The ball arced out of his way, bypassing the dense crowd in the penalty area and then straight to the top right corner of the goal!

Hoffenheim's goalkeeper Glar was blocked by the man in the box, and when he saw the ball flying over, it was too late to make a save, and as soon as he took off, the ball had already crossed the goal line and drilled into the goal!

"Zhou Yi - oh oh oh oh oh! Mr. Dortmund's key once again showed his might! From two goals behind to one goal ahead, Zhou Yi helped Dortmund complete a remarkable comeback!!"

As the ball flew into the goal, the heartbreak of the Bayern Munich fans seemed to be heard......

Yes, the saddest and most disappointed at this time is not even the Hoffenheim fans, but them.
