Chapter 247: Alive
Ibrahimovic limped off the pitch with the team doctor, and the Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stands gave the king-like figure a round of applause.
A minute later, Blanco brought on Lucas Jr. to replace Ibrahimovic who went off injured.
Without Ibrahimovic, Cavani's position moved to the middle and became a central striker, while Lucas Jr. occupied Cavani's original position, He Ying was not affected, he was still on the left.
Not long after the game resumed, some people noticed that the situation was not the same as before.
Dortmund, who had been pressed to the ground by PSG, rubbed and rubbed again, suddenly exerted force and launched a fierce attack on the Paris Saint-Germain goal, and their speed seemed to have doubled.
In the 65th minute, Dortmund made continuous passes in front of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area, all of which were one-foot passes, dazzling to watch, just when everyone thought Dortmund was going to attack from the left side, Zhou Yi suddenly turned around and passed the football diagonally to the right side.
On the right side, Yan Min, who had switched to this side, received the ball.
He is very good at football, and then he poked the football forward, and then relied on his excellent explosiveness, started on the spot, shook off the Paris Saint-Germain left-back Maxwell, who had not yet reacted, and went straight to the penalty area.
Yan Min's breakthrough was like sounding the alarm in the penalty area of Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG's defenders rushed towards him in a swarm of deflection targets.
Yan Min did not continue to dribble the ball, and after seeing that he had successfully attracted the attention of the other party, he chose to cross!
The ball goes straight past the front and middle points and goes straight to the back point!
There, Royce deftly ran and got to the landing point of the football, and volleyed directly without stopping the ball!
The soccer ball was pressed by him, and it scurried forward against the turf.
Sirigu turned with the football and saw Reuss shoot straight at goal, he could only make a hasty save in the process of moving, but he was still a step too late to touch the football.
He could only watch in despair as the ball rolled towards the back of goal, and there was no PSG player in front of goal to stop it.
The players on the Dortmund bench also got up and looked at the goal, ready to cheer for the goal.
But the ball was eventually denied by the back post!
The rebounding football happened to fall at the feet of the Paris Saint-Germain player Alex, who was returning to the defense, Alex didn't think about it, turned around and kicked the football out with a big kick, as for where it was kicked, he didn't care, and he didn't care. It was only at this time that he felt scared......
"Oops!!What a great chance for Dortmund! It was brutally denied by the goalpost at the Parc des Princes!" Marcel Leif clasped his head in his hands.
"Reuss shot straight at goal!ahhhh......hhhh
The Dortmund players on the bench all stood up, saw that the football did not score, and as if they had lost all their strength, they collectively fell back to the bench.
Klopp and his colleagues were also frustrated.
But none of these people's regrets are as big as Royce's.
Royce saw that the football was blocked by the goalpost, his knees weakened, and he knelt directly on the ground, and then held his head in his hands and bent down on the ground.
What a good opportunity, the successive and rapid passes made the opposing players basically lose the ability to think in defense, and can only follow the instinctive movement of the football. Yan Min's aggressive breakthrough also attracted the defenders, leaving him with a shot that couldn't have been better.
It was such a good opportunity, but he shot at the post!
He felt he had missed perhaps the best chance for Dortmund to score of the game.
Just when he was annoyed by this, someone patted him on the back.
He got up and looked back, it was Zhou Yi.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yi asked him.
Royce was in a depressed mood and annoyed, and when he heard Zhou Yi ask, he suddenly wanted to roll his eyes - can't you see what am I doing?
Reuss, who was emotionally gone, had to get up from the ground.
Zhou Yi said to him again: "Don't be discouraged, look at their expressions." He snorted at the PSG player.
Royce looked along.
"Look at Sirigu, I'm so scared that my face turns pale......"
Royce was tempted to say that white faces were white, but looking at Sirigu's expression, he was indeed frightened.
"When I look at Alex again, my scalp is scared. ”
Royce finally couldn't hold back: "Alex, that's because of his bald head......"
Zhou Yi was serious: "Look at the expression, the expression can't lie, but he was scared enough." ”
Royce looked at Alex's expression again, and it was indeed like this, and a panicked expression appeared on Alex's face.
"If you look at the other PSG players, it's pretty much the same look. They felt like they had gone through the door of the devil. Zhou Yi said. "So don't be sorry, at least you've made them waver, it's good for us, a few more times, and they can start to doubt life. ”
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Royce finally couldn't hold back his laughter.
Zhou Yi saw him laughing, and he laughed himself.
"Come on, let's continue!"

"Borussia Dortmund are back to normal! Look at the speed of the pass, it's dizzying!" Marcel Leif said excitedly after the restart.
"Borussia Dortmund have an anti-guest posture and they are now holding PSG at bay. Paris Saint-Germain wanted to counterattack, but there was no way, although Dortmund's back line was very empty - they cut off the link between PSG's midfield and the front, Verratti was closely marked by Sven Bender, He Ying was in front, but he couldn't get the ball, and had to come back to participate in the defense......" He Ping analyzed, and finally he said, "The defending champions seem to be alive." ”
Dortmund did seem to be alive, and Paris Saint-Germain couldn't raise their heads after a series of fierce attacks.
Dortmund's high-pressure attack continued until the 75th minute.
Fifteen minutes to go before the end of the game, the fitness of the players on both sides came to a critical juncture.
If Dortmund can't pry open PSG's goal, they may have to abandon this style of play because the players' fitness can't keep up.
At this time, Yan Min dribbled the ball on the side, and suddenly a sudden stop changed direction, passing a Paris Saint-Germain player and walking towards the middle.
Then in the face of Matuidi's defence, he once again took advantage of a quick stop to change direction and broke through to the baseline.
He accelerated to break through to attract the attention of Paris Saint-Germain's defense, Matuidi was in hot pursuit behind him, and there was a frontal interception by Alex in front, and it seemed that Yan Min was going to bury his head again to go to the dark.
But at this time, Yan Min suddenly made a third emergency stop, and at the same time knocked the football from behind him to the middle with his left heel, he turned around immediately after braking the car, and changed to cut inward again!
"Oh! Beautiful continuous emergency stop line change! Yan Min plays the players of Paris Saint-Germain!"
Yan Min, who completed the emergency stop and turn, did not continue to dribble the ball, he has now pressed to the line of the big penalty area, Paris Saint-Germain has too many players, and there is no room for him to break through with the ball.
He chose to pass the ball and passed the football horizontally to Zhou Yi in the middle.
Zhou Yi rushed into the penalty area with an arrow step, faced the football, and made a good action to stop the ball, and his right foot was raised.
But when the football rolled over, Zhou Yi didn't stop the ball, but let the football roll over, and then his left foot supporting his body kicked hard, and he was about to turn around to chase the ball.
Get rid of whom?
Get rid of the centre-back Thiago Silva who has rushed up to break his ball!
Thiago Silva didn't expect Zhou Yi to shoot a false shot, and he couldn't stop when he lost his target, and hit Zhou Yi who didn't have time to turn around, knocking Zhou Yi to the ground without any suspense!
Zhou Yi had a physical accident and fell on the line of the big forbidden area on his back.
The referee's whistle sounded, and he didn't hesitate to point to the penalty spot!
"Penalty!eh!?It's a penalty!" Marcel Leif was stunned for a moment, then roared excitedly. "Thiago Silva knocked down Zhou Yi in the penalty area and was sentenced to death!"
"Borussia Dortmund got a penalty! they had a chance to score!" He Ping was also excited.
Only the French commentator habitually questioned whether Zhou Yi faked a fall: "Zhou Yi deliberately waited for Thiago Silva to bump into him, right?"
But everyone can see it clearly, Thiago Silva couldn't stop the car and knocked down Zhou Yi, regardless of whether Thiago Silva did it on purpose or not, it is always an objective fact that he knocked down Zhou Yi. In the face of such objective facts, there is no problem in awarding a penalty.
Zhou Yi, who fell face to the sky, raised his fists, and then he was pulled up by his teammates who swarmed up, and then pulled into his arms, slapped his back hard, and rubbed his hair.
The TV broadcast also took the opportunity to broadcast the slow-motion scene that had just happened.
Through the replay from different angles, it is obvious what happened, and it is indeed a penalty kick. This is much clearer and more logical than the one between He Ying and Hummels in the first half.
"Zhou Yi's let is really exquisite, it is this let deceive Thiago Silva's ...... who robbed him"
Thiago Silva didn't defend himself either, he knew it very well. And the referee has already made a decision, so there is no point in dwelling on this issue any longer.
※※※
The penalty ended up going to Reuss.
He had just missed a great chance and he felt he might have missed one of the best scoring chances of the game for Borussia Dortmund.
But now, a better chance to score than just now was in his hands.
Holding the soccer ball, he took a deep breath and bent over to swing the ball.
With the football in place, he took a few steps back, stood still, and turned his head to look at the referee.
Wait for the referee's whistle.
The rest of the players on both sides withdrew from the box, leaving only Reus and goalkeeper Sirigu in the box.
The Parc des Princes boos were overwhelming, and the PSG fans were of course unhappy with the decision – if it was going to be a penalty, then why wasn't there a penalty when He Ying fell in the Dortmund penalty area in the first half?
Amid the boos, the referee blew the whistle.
The boos were even louder.
Royce ran to the boo, then kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Sirigu pounced on the bottom right corner and he brushed shoulders with the football!
The soccer ball flew into the goal!
"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!good goal!Reus securely took the penalty into the box!Borussia Dortmund pulled a point back and had a valuable away goal!"
