Chapter 252: Two Feet in a Row
"Oh! Wolfsburg took the lead! They scored first! Olic played for Bayern Munich, and in the 2009-2010 season, Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final...... Now, he has moved to Wolfsburg and is still helping his former club in his own way......"
Marcel Leif is talking about the highlight of Olich's career so far. Tomato Novels Network☆ -''.x-f'
In the 2009-2010 season, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Bayern Munich, like this year, also met Manchester United. In the first leg, Bayern Munich hosted Manchester United, and the score was always 1:1, which was very close. It wasn't until the last moment that Olic scored a goal to help Bayern Munich beat Manchester United 2-1.
In the second leg against Manchester United, Olic scored from a tight angle in the 43rd minute and caught United off guard. In the end, Bayern Munich eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 4:4, one more away goal advantage than Manchester United, and broke into the semi-finals.
In the first leg of the semi-finals, Bayern Munich beat Lyon 1-0 at home, which was not a reassuring score. Especially since the second leg was an away game, Lyon were fully confident of equalising the score and then scoring more.
However, Olic was in a big game in this game, scoring a goal in the first half and two in the second half to complete a hat-trick and help Bayern Munich beat Lyon 3-0 away to advance to the final 4-0 on aggregate and meet Inter Milan at the Bernabeu.
Olic is certainly not the same as he once was, but his goal today has the potential to help Bayern Munich break Dortmund's monopoly on the Bundesliga title for three consecutive seasons......
After Olic scored, many people reremembered his former identity as a Bayern Munich player, and on foreign social networks, many Bayern Munich fans posted photos of Olic wearing a Bayern Munich jersey to cheer for Olich.
Someone even played a joke at the event and posted the shirt of Olic against Lyon away, and on time Olic scored a hat-trick, which was the best moment of his career. Bayern Munich fans hope that Olic can shine again, for himself and for Bayern Munich.
Olic really felt the blessings and cheers given to him by Bayern Munich fans.
In the 40th minute, he threatened the Dortmund goal again.
De Bruyne won the ball on the right, shook off Hummels' defence and sent in a low cross, and the astute Olic reappeared in front of goal, and he shot with a cushion in front of the goal!
The ball flies up and goes straight to the top corner of the goal!
But it was blocked by the beam and bounced back.
The bouncing ball hit Olich's foot again, bounced off and flew back towards goal...... And what about the soccer ball that flew back? It hit the crossbar again and bounced off the bottom line......
"Oh oh my God! Two crossbars in a short period of time!
Olic himself knelt in front of the Dortmund goal with his head in his hands, looking at the goal in disbelief.
He never imagined that he could hit the crossbar with two consecutive kicks, this luck ...... It's enough to buy the Euro Lotto, right?
"Dortmund escaped! Olic had two consecutive shots from close range that were denied by the crossbar! At this moment, perhaps only the goal post of the West** Stadium was still playing normally......"
The stands also let out a series of exclamations when Olrich did this.
When the ball finally flew off the line, the exclamations in the stands turned into a breath of relief.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a sense of detachment for the rest of their lives......
Weidenfeller jumped up excitedly and patted the crossbar above him to thank him for stepping up at the crucial moment.
Compared with the Dortmund players who were happy to not die, the Wolfsburg players were much more depressed and unhappy.
What a chance, and it turned out to be two crossbars in a row...... Is there any worse luck than that?
Duan Xin joked: "At this time, the most unhappy thing is probably not Wolfsburg, but Bayern Munich, right?"
If Olic can score a brace, he could cause Dortmund a lot of problems. There shouldn't be many people who believe that Dortmund can complete a comeback after falling behind by two goals, right?
※※※
Olic missed the shot and a few minutes later the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Although the goalpost at the Wester** Stadium prevented Olic from shooting, many Wolfsburg fans and Bayern Munich fans still have a lot of confidence in Olich.
They think that with Olich's form, they can definitely score in the second half.
And if Olic had scored twice in the second half and given Wolfsburg a two-goal lead, Dortmund would have been largely finished.
But when the second half started, things were a little different than they had imagined.
Borussia Dortmund looked like they had regained their energy from the start of the second half, launching a fierce attack on the Wolfsburg goal.
Between the 48th and 49th minutes, Dortmund had two shots in quick succession, the second of which finally won them a corner.
Reus wasn't there, so the corner was taken by Shaheen.
After Shaheen's corner, there was chaos in front of the Wolfsburg goal, and in the confusion, Hummels jumped up and beat the other players in front of the Wolfsburg goal, and then came a powerful lion flick his head!
With such a hard header from this distance, Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Marcos Green made a save, but it was still a little late.
The soccer ball has flown into the goal!
"Hummels! powerful header! He equalised for Borussia Dortmund!" Dortmund showed their strength and determination at the start of the second half!' Marcellleff shouted.
The entire Westmond Stadium was filled with cheers from the Dortmund fans, almost duffling his voice.
"After enduring the first half, the Dortmund fans were venting their emotions to the fullest! The equaliser brought the two teams back to the same running line, and the morale of Dortmund at home was very high, which is definitely not a good thing for Wolfsburg......
※※※
Of course, Wolfsburg was not willing to be equalized like this, they had been leading before, and this psychological gap made them launch a more fierce counterattack after being equalized.
After all, as long as you win Dortmund, you can become fourth in the league and enter the Champions League.
So of course, Wolfsburg will not give up because they have been equalised.
They answered Dortmund with an even more fierce attack.
In the 59th minute, Wolfsburg launched a quick counter-attack, Perisic burst into the box on the left and fired a shot from a tight angle, only to deflect the ball into the far corner.
In the 63rd minute, it was Perisic again, he crossed from the left flank, and the in-form Olic followed up in the middle to tackle the goal, but the ball was deflected wide of the goal again......
A minute later, Wolfsburg even got up to centre-back Naldo and fired a powerful shot over the crossbar from 30 yards out.
From the 59th minute to the 64th minute, in the space of five minutes, Wolfsburg had three shots on goal, and they were all quite threatening.
And Dortmund, who had just scored, was suppressed.
This shows how difficult Wolfsburg is to deal with.
But since Dortmund was able to win the league title for three consecutive seasons, it was not by luck.
After withstanding Wolfsburg's attack, Dortmund took advantage of their ferocious pounce to attack and play Wolfsburg's counterattack.
For example, in the 69th minute, Dortmund launched a quick counterattack and got the opportunity to play more and play less.
Aubameyang distributed the football to Zhou Yi who was inserted from the side in front of the penalty area, and Zhou Yi faced the goalkeeper and fired a right-footed shot into the far corner!
The ball had bypassed goalkeeper Green's ten fingers, but it rubbed to the outside of the post and flew out of the bottom line!
"Zhou Yi's ball...... It's a pity! Almost, it's really a little bit! Maybe it's to avoid Green, so it's too much to pursue the angle......" Duan Xin regretted for Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi also slapped in annoyance, then shook his head and ran back.
There wasn't much time to regret and with twenty minutes remaining, Dortmund needed at least one goal.
※※※
In the 73rd minute, Zhou Yimiao passed Aubameyang, and Aubameyang shot from a distance of 20 meters from the goal, but the hit was too correct and was directly held in the arms of goalkeeper Green.
Dortmund then gradually rose in possession, which was their home turf after all. And what about Wolfsburg, after five minutes of frenzied attacks with three shots, their momentum is dropping a little bit, and the pressing of the Dortmund players is not as good as in the first half.
In turn, it was the tenacious Borussia Dortmund who began to threaten the Wolfsburg goal more.
Especially in the 75th minute, Klopp replaced Mkhitaryan with Yan Min and Grosskreutz with Reus.
Changing two people at the same time shows Klopp's determination to win this match.
It doesn't look like he wants to give up the league.
It's just that...... Is it too late to make substitutions with fifteen minutes left in the game?
Hold back for the Champions League and wait until the last minute of the game to put on the main players to give it a go...... Will this routine finally get rid of it?
