Chapter 117: Accidents
In the face of Real Madrid's aggressive attack, Dortmund appeared patient. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Borussia Dortmund's defence has been excellent in both seasons, conceding the fewest goals in the Bundesliga for two consecutive seasons. Defensively, this team has a lot of experience.
Real Madrid's attacking firepower, although fierce, did not make Dortmund's players panic.
When he couldn't attack, Zhou Yi also actively engaged in defense, and he used his understanding of the situation throughout the game to always be stuck in a very critical position, forcing Real Madrid's attack to be rerouted.
So despite Real Madrid's fierce attack, they were unable to break the deadlock and score.
However, in the 28th minute, Zhou Yi sent a long pass from the backfield, Lewandowski's header was knocked back, Reus inserted and received the ball, he dribbled to the front of the Real Madrid penalty area, and shot decisively.
The ball sticks to the turf and goes straight to the far corner of the goal.
Casillas couldn't reach the whip and, despite making a save, didn't touch the ball and could only watch as the ball grazed the inside of the post and rolled into the back of the net......
"Oooh!!" Marcel Leif exclaimed excitedly, "Reuss, Reuss, he captured the Bernabeu, Dortmund took the lead when the odds were extremely unfavourable, it was Dortmund who scored first in this game...... Accidental!"
The Spanish commentator fell silent because the scene was a bit ...... Embarrass. Twenty-eight minutes before Borussia Dortmund's goal, they had only two shots on goal, compared to Real Madrid's seven shots, almost four times as many as Dortmund.
All Real Madrid fans are waiting for the moment when Real Madrid will score, so they can cheer to their heart's content. But what they were waiting for was the opponent's goal!
This is really a typical example of revenge not being reversed......

While Reus beckoned his team-mates to celebrate the goal, the Real Madrid players next to him looked confused, which may have been more difficult for them to accept than falling behind on the road.
Because this is their home stadium, when they are beaten by Borussia Dortmund away from home, the belief that underpins them is to "go back to home and kill you".
Every Real Madrid player believes that as long as they are at the Bernabeu, they will be invincible and invincible, and won't it be a piece of cake to win Borussia Dortmund?
But when they did return to their home turf, the situation was not what they imagined......
It was Dortmund who scored first!
The goal was a blow to their faith.
Didn't you say that I would be in charge of my territory?
Marcel Leif lamented: "I don't know whether to say that the German team is the nemesis of Real Madrid or that Borussia Dortmund is the nemesis of Real Madrid...... Now this Dortmund team feels more mature than last season, both in terms of tactical selection and player execution. Since returning to the Champions League two seasons ago, their progress is something we can all see. It's a really lovely young team and the energy and progress they exude is really fascinating!"
Marcel Leif has a high opinion of Dortmund, but no one thinks he's boasting.
Because Dortmund really deserves such praise.
Two seasons ago, when Borussia Dortmund met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they lost 4-1 at the Bernabeu and were almost unable to fight back. At that time, Real Madrid at home was like an insurmountable mountain for them, and it was impossible to conquer.
That season, they were knocked out by Real Madrid, and they were not wronged at all.
And now, when the two teams meet again, Dortmund has undergone a radical change and has grown rapidly. Defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home, and faced Real Madrid's onslaught away from home, and was able to score first.

After the pain of conceding a goal, the Real Madrid players finally adjusted, realising that it was only 28 minutes and that there was still time to make a difference.
After the restart, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on the goal of Borussia Dortmund.
You can see that the attack is much more intense than before they conceded the goal.
In the 34th minute, Real Madrid finally equalized with a corner kick.
The scorer was their centre-back Pepe, who leapt high in the box and scrambled the ball into the Weidenfeller goal ahead of Hummels and Subotic.
When the football flew into the Dortmund goal, the Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu stands erupted in loud cheers.
The Spanish commentator shouted like a chicken: "Good shot! Pepe! He's a real Real Madrider! He stepped up when Real Madrid needed him! This is the Bernabeu! Here, even if the team occasionally has difficulties, the atmosphere at the Bernabeu always makes them conquer them!"
Klopp, on the other hand, rushed to the sidelines and slapped his players and shouted, "It's okay!
After all, now Dortmund is only drawing with Real Madrid, and there is really no need to panic too much if you lose this goal.
Prior to this game, Jurgen Klopp's coaching staff had set the goal of taking a draw from the Bernabeu to win, and if they could still win, it would be a fluke. Realistically, a draw is more likely. So if it really is a 1-1 draw in the end, for Klopp, he can leave the Bernabeu with his big mouth and a smile.
Dortmund's players are well aware of this, so they didn't look frustrated or miserable after conceding the goal.
At the Bernabeu, you have to be mentally prepared to let Real Madrid score. At this time, you can see how crucial Reuss's goal just now. Without Reus's goal, Real Madrid's goal would have left Borussia Dortmund behind, but now it's just a draw.
The mentality of the Borussia Dortmund players is completely different from that of being behind. A different mentality led to a different performance, and after the restart, Dortmund's backline remained solid against Real Madrid, who were demoralised by the equaliser.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, were not able to rewrite the scoreline, except for adding some shots that were in and out of the frame.
Seeing that the first half is about to end, the two sides will go into the break with a score of 1:1, and everything will be like the last game between the two sides.
Even Real Madrid's head coach Jose Mourinho habitually left the pitch early, walked directly into the passage, and walked away. It's his habit, and although he doesn't know why, he does sometimes leave early before half-time is over.
The TV broadcast also gave Mourinho, who left the stadium early, a shot, and his perverse behavior, like his character, became a label of his identity and a topic of conversation.
As Mourinho left the pitch, Real Madrid ended an attack, with possession falling to Borussia Dortmund, or to be more precise, to Borussia Dortmund's Zhou Yi.
This time, Zhou Yidi did not kick the football directly to the front court like the first ball, he controlled the football and began to push forward with the ground pass.
"One minute of stoppage time in the first half, for Dortmund, this may be their last chance to attack with the ball in the first half, of course, to control the football at their feet, even if the attack can't be played, it will not be easy to give up possession. He Ping affirmed Zhou Yi's approach.

Borussia Dortmund slowly pushed the ball into the 30-metre zone of Real Madrid, where they were met with stubborn resistance from the Real Madrid defence.
In the face of Real Madrid's stubborn defense, Dortmund was not in a hurry, passing the football sideways. Anyway, even if they used up all this last minute in this way, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Again, a draw is perfectly acceptable.
When Zhou Yi received the ball again, it was already 45 minutes and 46 seconds of the first half, and there were still more than ten seconds left before the end of injury time in the first half.
While Zhou Yi received the ball, he turned his head to look at the right side of his mind, as if he was observing the vacancy over there, preparing to pass the football over.
This made the Real Madrid player Ozil in front of him slightly deviate his center of gravity to that side, but just when he just deflected the center of gravity, he realized that there was a problem, because Zhou Yi could be a feint!
Sure enough, just as he shifted his focus to the past, Zhou Yi brought the football from his other side!
This sudden touch completely disrupted Real Madrid's defensive arrangement. Their previous focus was on Mark, Lewandowski and Reus, beware of Zhou Yi passing the football to these people.
For Zhou Yi's lack of preparation to break through with the ball by himself.
Subsequently, Zhou Yi fully reflected his changing characteristics in rhythm in this breakthrough.
As soon as he broke through and attracted the attention of the Real Madrid players, the Real Madrid defenders naturally pounced on him. Prevent him from continuing to break into the box.
But at this time, Zhou Yi suddenly chose to shoot, and when he was about to enter the free throw arc, Zhou Yi decisively got up and shot!
Abelloa flew in and scrambled to block Zhou Yi's sudden long-range shot. He was the quickest reaction in the Real Madrid backline.
But sometimes, it's just a quick response or a good thing.
He kicked the soccer ball, and the soccer ball hit the tip of his upturned shoe. There was no change of direction, it still flew in the same direction, but there was a change in height - the football jumped.
This jump happened to pass the body of Casillas, who had fallen to the ground and lowered the ball.
Because he was blocked, his speed weakened, and he slowly fell towards the goal behind Casillas. It looked like everyone could stop the ball, but no one could do it, and everyone stood there as if they had been cast with petrified magic, watching the football...... Flew into the goal!
"This ...... Ahh "The ball is in! Zhou Yi! At the end of the first half, his cold shot gave Dortmund the lead! )
