Chapter 279: Super Long Stoppage Time
When Zhou Yi ran back to the court, the commentators were still talking about this special marriage proposal ceremony.
The topic of the rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich has been relegated to the back burner and no one has mentioned it for the time being.
“...... The tense air seems to have become a little sweeter!ha!" Duan Xin teased.
But Bayern Munich fans certainly don't think so.
Zhou Yi not only scored a hat-trick to give Dortmund a two-goal lead, but also went on a rampage on their turf and proposed to his girlfriend.
When football anecdotes are mentioned in the future, this scene will always be mentioned, and once it is mentioned, Bayern Munich will never escape the fate of being repeatedly humiliated as a background introduction.
Just like AC Milan, as long as they talk about the shocking reversal, then they were eliminated 4:1 at home, 0:4 away by Deportivo La Coruna, and the Champions League final 3:0 in the first half, 0:3 in the second half, and the penalty shootout was defeated by Liverpool.
This is the most unpleasant thing for Bayern Munich fans, think about how the media will mention this scene in the future: "...... Few players in the history of world football have proposed to their girlfriends in person after scoring a goal, but Zhou Yi once did, in front of a global television audience, he proposed to his girlfriend Cortana...... It was in the thirtieth round of the 2013-2014 Bundesliga season, and the league title race between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich was at its most intense...... Borussia Dortmund opened the scoring but then equalised for Bayern Munich just before half-time...... Not long after the start of the second half, Zhou Yi scored twice to help Dortmund take the lead again...... The game was then locked until the 81st minute, when Zhou Yi scored a hat-trick to help Dortmund take the lead again. After completing the hat trick, Zhou Yi ran straight to Dortmund's coach's box, knelt down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, who is also Dortmund's team doctor, Cortana, the heroine nodded in agreement, the two sides kissed together, and their romance was blessed by countless people......"
It's weird!
At least now tens of thousands of Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena will not bless him, and may curse him......
The television broadcast gave Cortana a close-up, something she has rarely been treated like this since the freshness of her appearance as a woman in the Borussia Dortmund dugout has passed.
In the camera, Dortmund's team medical team leader, Dr. Braun, is smiling and talking to Cortana, who also has a smile on her face, and the crimson on her face has not faded, making her look even more charming.
"What a happy man...... "Marcel Leif sighed. "I don't know how many women can't imagine this scene, it's so romantic!"
※※※
The game continued, but everyone was a little absent-minded.
With ten minutes to go, Dortmund already had a two-goal lead over Bayern Munich.
Zhou Yi's third goal was a fatal blow to the morale of Bayern Munich's players.
Although it was a little better than last season's final count, it also gave Bayern Munich ten minutes.
But unlike last season's game, Bayern Munich is two goals behind this time......
Two goals in 10 minutes to equalize...... Dortmund is not a soft persimmon that they bully, how easy is it to talk about?
Dortmund's backline is certainly not neat, but it is much better than when the two sides met for the first time this season. And when Dortmund are determined to defend, their goal is still difficult to penetrate.
The difference between the two goals will inevitably make people feel discouraged.
Not to mention Zhou Yi's celebration just now, it was also a great blow to the morale of Bayern Munich players - procrastinating time openly and showing affection......
Despite the difficult situation, Gotze was unwilling to give up.
He knows it's hard to score two goals, but that's not a reason to give up.
He looked at the expressions of his teammates, gritted his teeth, and then suddenly yelled on the court: "Cheer up! The game is not over yet! We still have a chance!"
His voice surprised everyone, because whether the fifth round was in Dortmund or Bayern Munich, Gotze was not the kind of player who liked to make noise on the pitch, he was not the kind of person with the temperament of a leader.
Gotze is indeed not the kind of person who can boost morale, his teammates have looked at him, but he didn't say anything to boost morale while the iron was hot, he wanted to use his actual actions to awaken the fighting spirit of his teammates.
So after the restart, he ran aggressively, as if he had just been substituted.
In the 85th minute, he chose to cross the ball low after the ball on the wing passed Yan Min, but the football was cleared by Piszczek who caught up.
In the 88th minute, Thomas Muller entered the box and wanted to shoot, but the football was stabbed out by Hummels first, and the football fell right at the feet of Gotze, who had been following behind, and he shot with his foot!
The football hit Hummels' thigh and changed the line and deviated from the bottom line!
"Gotze's shot! Oops! Blocked! What a pity......"
There was a sigh of regret from the stands.
Gotze didn't have time to feel sorry for it, he quickly ran to the baseline, went to the caddie to ask for the ball, and then took the ball to the corner flag area himself, set it up for Tony Kroos, who served, and then ran back to the box.
Seeing Gotze working so hard to score Dortmund's goal, many Dortmund fans are scolding him in the stands and in front of the TV at this moment.
Gotze also knew in his heart that his attitude would be hyped up by the media after the game, and at the same time give the Dortmund fans a reason to scold him.
But at this time, he couldn't care about what Dortmund fans thought of him, he just didn't want to lose to Zhou Yi.
The corner kick was taken, Lewandowski got the ball on the head, but it was high over the crossbar, there was no second attack, no second corner, and the ball was back at the feet of Dortmund.
It was already the eighty-ninth minute, and the fourth official held up a sign for stoppage time on the sidelines, because Neuer was injured not long after the start of the second half, and the waiting process for treatment was long, coupled with the controversy caused by Bayern Munich's offside goal, and Zhou Yi's slightly longer celebration of the third goal, the game was a long stoppage time...... Nine minutes!
As soon as the injury time came out, Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp was not satisfied, and he went to the fourth official to rant at him, questioning why he had so long stoppage time.
Of course, he knows why it is so long, but fighting for the interests of his team is not to see right or wrong, and he must put pressure on those who should be pressed.
In addition to Klopp's dissatisfaction, Dortmund's fans are also dissatisfied. As supporters of Dortmund, they certainly do not reason, but only look at the position. There's nothing wrong with this at this time, and if Dortmund were to benefit from injury time, the Allianz Arena would have been booed at this time.
Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines, looking inside the pitch with a serious expression.
Beside him, assistant coach Herman Grande was yelling into the pitch: "There's still time, there's still time!
He roared hoarsely.
The other Bayern Munich substitutes also stood up from their positions, stood on the sidelines, and anxiously shouted: "Come on, guys, come on!!"
In front of Dortmund's bench and coach's box, Dortmund was also full of people chanting: "Hold on, hold on! Don't care how many minutes are left! Don't let up if you don't hear the referee blow the whistle!"
But in fact, I don't know if their roar can really reach the ears of their teammates on the field, because now the Allianz Arena is full of the voices of Bayern Munich fans, boos, roars cheering for the team, and singing.
Everyone was nervous, and the commentators stopped talking about the love history of Zhou Yi and Cortana.
'There were nine minutes of stoppage time, and if Gotze had scored that goal, now they were just one goal away, so it would be much less difficult to score another goal in the remaining nine minutes...... And now, they're going to score two goals, I'm not saying Bayern Munich can't do it, it's not impossible, but probability-wise, it's a bit low......"
※※※
In the 91st minute, Gotze fired again from outside the penalty area, and the ball was shot out by Weidenfeller, and the ball flew to the right wing. Raphinha rushed up and tried to pass the football directly to the goal, but instead kicked the anti-aircraft gun, and the football turned in a strange arc and flew high off the line.
"Raphinha's ball...... He didn't have a Dortmund player around him at the time, so he could have stopped and passed again. Although there is not much time left for Bayern Munich, this is too much of a hurry, right?" Marcel Leif was unsparing in his criticism of Raphinha's performance. "It's a complete demoralization of your own family!"
Borussia Dortmund then took a goal kick.
This time, it was no longer advanced from the backcourt, Weidenfeller kicked the football to the front court with a big foot, Mark jumped up and pushed the football back, and gave it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi took the ball in the middle circle, and in the face of Ram's scrambling, he turned around to protect the football, and was not in a hurry to get out of the ball, on the one hand, there was no better passing target, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay a little more time, even if he could let the football stay here for one more second, that would be an extra second of delay.
But how could the Bayern Munich player not see what he wanted to do?
Ram was squeezed behind by Zhou Yi, while Schweinsteiger rushed over from the side and kicked the football directly from the side and back, and also knocked Zhou Yi down.
However, this time the referee Tswill did not whistle for a foul, but ran forward with the football.
Zhou Yi, who fell to the ground, spread his hands and looked helpless, while Klopp roared again off the field.
Duan Xin questioned: "This ball is not a foul, Schweinsteiger should obviously kick Zhou Yi's supporting foot, right? It should be a foul anyway, right?"
But no one can change the referee's decision.
Zhou Yi also quickly got up from the ground and participated in the team's defense.
Bayern Munich used the counter-attack to attack again, but unfortunately Thomas Müller's long-range shot was too straight and was held in Weidenfeller's arms.
It wasn't actually a difficult ball to save, and Weidenfeller could have received the ball head-on, but he still had to lie on the ground after receiving the ball, which took a little more time.
It was already the ninety-third minute of the game, and Weidenfeller delayed for several seconds to get up from the ground.
The boos in the stands at the Allianz Arena have completely overshadowed the other voices, which were all addressed to Weidenfeller.
After Weidenfeller got up, he kicked the ball forward with a big kick, but instead of referring to the middle of the field, he deliberately kicked it to the left side of the field, and the ball crossed the halfway line, deflected to the left, and after a while of sticking to the goal line, it flew off the sideline in front of the Bayern Munich bench.
Bayern Munich was given a throw-in, but in order to make that throw-in, Bayern Munich had to have someone run over and throw the ball, and someone had to catch it, and it took time.
Dortmund really fought hard to stall for time.
Even the throw-in was used.
Bayern Munich fought hard to save time, their goalkeeper Lucas Reid rushed out of front of the goal as early as when Weidenfeller played like this, and not long after the football flew off the sideline, he ran over, took the football thrown by his teammates off the field, and then threw the football into the field and threw it to the retreating central defender Dante.
Then he ran back to his goal.
Race against time.
