Chapter 196: Tie

"Ahhh......h

There were huge cheers at West** Stadium, although the fans were very dissatisfied with Gotze's choice, it didn't mean that they wanted their team to lose, otherwise Zhou Yi would not have been able to make those excited fans take the initiative to retreat with a sentence outside the bus that he would not let others see the joke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone still loves Dortmund as a team deeply and wants to see Dortmund win.

'Lewandowski's goal was an assist from Gotze, who is in great form and doesn't look affected by the transfer events during this period. I think since the transfer is a foregone conclusion, all we have to do is play the rest of the games, no matter where we are next season, and now we are a player at Borussia Dortmund, so we have to do our best for Dortmund. Götze's performance illustrates this very well...... With that attitude, I hope the Dortmund fans will boo him less......," Heping said.

After Lewandowski scored, he took the initiative to run to hug Gotze, and he was also using this gesture to show everyone that Gotze was still a member of Dortmund.

Other teammates also rushed up to hug the two of them, and the infighting that the media hyped up was not reflected in them.

On the sidelines, after celebrating the goal with his colleagues, Klopp looked inside the pitch with a smile and watched the players huddle, Klopp slapped his head and turned to assistant coach Bwach and said: "It looks good." ”

Bwach also smiled: "The mourning soldiers will win." ”

He really likes this word said by Zhou Yi now.

"Did Pepe get distracted when he was defending, and let Lewandowski get in front of him to shoot!" the Spanish commentator was criticizing Pepe, who was still not reassuring at the back of Real Madrid.

The televised camera cuts to Casillas, who is sitting on the bench, and in the close-up, Casillas buries himself in a sports jacket with the collar pulled up high, covering all the parts below his eyes, so that his specific expression is not visible.

Perhaps the broadcast director of the match was asking: if Casillas was standing in front of goal, would it be possible for the ball to be saved?

But this assumption makes no sense.

The televised broadcast gave a close-up of Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who was shown frowning but not doing anything.

It's only eight minutes into the game, and if there's anything to be done, it's a bit premature.

The Spanish commentator was still reassuring and encouraging the Real Madrid fans in front of the TV: "Dortmund's goal was a bit of a surprise, and the element of luck was even greater. As long as the Real Madrid players can adjust their mentality, equalising will not be a problem......

When the game resumed, the performances of the Real Madrid players confirmed the Spanish commentator's claims. The conceded goal did not send Real Madrid into a flurry. Falling behind, they began to press and put more pressure on Dortmund's penalty area.

In the 24th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick from 30 yards out was saved by Weidenfeller.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, took advantage of Real Madrid's pressing attack to play their counter-attack.

In the 33rd minute, Reus forced his way past Coentrão on the right and burst into the box, where he fell to the ground and fired a shot that went just wide when Higuain pressed him.

The two sides just go back and forth, stalemate, everyone has a chance, but no one's chance seems to be particularly good.

In the 40th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's cross from the left was headed clear by Piszczek at the back post, and Xavi Alonso from outside the box grabbed the second goal before shooting from distance, but the ball was blocked by Hummels with his body.

In the 42nd minute, Real Madrid threw a throw-in from the back and then launched a fast attack. However, when Real Madrid's attack hit the front of the Dortmund penalty area, it was defended by Dortmund, Hummels had already controlled the football at the edge of the penalty area, but he patronized and looked ahead, completely ignoring the situation around him, and was successfully cut off from behind by Higuain!

Hummels...... Mistake!!" exclaimed Marcel Leff.

Higuain quickly played the ball to the back post, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who followed up, easily pushed the ball into the empty net unguarded......

"1:1!!!Cristiano Ronaldo!Ronaldo!, he equalized for Real Madrid!" the Spanish commentator shouted excitedly. "Real Madrid finally equalised before the end of the first half! Now they can go into the break with a relative composure! Cristiano Ronaldo's goal is very, very crucial!"

"Hummels—" Marcel Leif sighed, "this mistake is terrible......!

His biggest concern is the impact of his mistakes on the team. There was a lot of concern for Borussia Dortmund before the game, and after scoring in the opening eight minutes, Marcel Leif breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, Dortmund have not scored again since that goal, and now at half-time they let the opponent equalize because of their own mistakes. What impact will this conceded goal have on the team? Will it dampen the team's morale and return the team to the state that everyone feared before the game? Will Dortmund, already internally conflicted, split at half-time?

Although they have only conceded one goal, sensitive people can already make up a lot of things in their brains.

'Towards the end of the first half, the Borussia Dortmund players were a little distracted. Hummels' mistake was clearly the result of a lack of vigilance...... You must know that in such a high-level duel, even a second of negligence can be fatal!" He Ping also criticized Hummels' performance.

Happily replaced by a player from Real Madrid, this is a valuable away goal, a top two!

This ball is equivalent to giving them a reassurance. If the idea of 'revenge' is aside, getting an away goal is their most basic goal, and now that goal has been accomplished.

Hummels, who had conceded the goal due to his own mistakes, looked very frustrated, standing still with his hands on his hips, not moving, and it is really appropriate to describe him as "dumbfounded".

The atmosphere in the team has been abnormal all this time, and finally in this important game, there are signs of improvement...... One of his mistakes seemed to put the atmosphere in danger of collapsing again.

The captain on the field, Weidenfeller, was also helpless about Hummels' mistake, but he still came up to comfort Hummels: "Don't take it to heart, I am also responsible for that ball, I didn't remind you in time that someone was ...... behind you"

Hummels shook his head, sighed, and did not speak.

After the restart, Real Madrid took advantage of the momentum they had just equalized and launched another fierce attack on the Dortmund goal.

During this time, Dortmund was only able to shrink the defense, not attack at all. Of course, there is not much time left until the end of the first half, so it is enough not to concede a goal in this time, and there is no such thing as scoring another goal and regaining the lead......

In the end, at the end of the first half, the score was 1:1, and the two sides were temporarily tied.

Because of the goal conceded at the last moment, Dortmund's players were not very emotional when they came off the field, and most of them walked in a hurry with their heads down. On the other hand, the players of Real Madrid still have the leisure to go down while chatting.

They must be looking forward to the second half, how to continue to chase Dortmund on the basis of the equalizer, and achieve revenge.

Now it seems that Dortmund, who scored in the opening eight minutes, was just an illusion, but in fact they are still the kind of internal unity, uninterested in training and playing. And Real Madrid was frightened by Dortmund's aggressive attack at first, and now that I think about it, it's really ...... Lose face.

But it doesn't matter, the second half will bring everything back to normal.

In the dressing room, Jurgen Klopp did not criticize Hummels for his mistakes, instead praising the team's performance in the first half.

This surprised the players, who thought that a storm awaited them, and many of them shrunk their necks and lowered their heads as soon as they sat down, waiting for training.

It didn't.

He just asked everyone a question: "Now, how many people still believe that we can beat them?"

Zhou Yi was the first to raise his hand: "I believe." ”

"Okay, tell me about it, why do you still believe it?" Klopp called Zhou Yi's name.

Zhou Yi didn't shirk politeness, stood up and said: "I don't know if you have noticed, at the end of the first half, the Real Madrid players came off the field talking and laughing. What does that mean? It shows that they are relaxed and feel that the game is back to the rhythm they wanted. They definitely thought that if we put a little pressure on us in the second half, we would have collapsed. If that's what they do, that's good news for us. Because the goal was just bad luck on our part and doesn't say anything about it, we were impeccable in other areas, so I firmly believe that as long as we continue to play like we did in the first half, we will still score goals and we will win. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yi sat down.

Klopp looked at him, smiled and nodded: "That's right, what Zhou Yi said is right." That's what I want to tell you, don't lose faith easily. Why do I praise you, not to encourage you, but that you really deserve my praise. That goal in the first half gave me a new glimpse of the united and invincible Dortmund team. I'm happy, guys, just keep playing, there's nothing we can't win!" )
