Chapter 59: Drag into overtime
As the Chelsea players gathered around the referee to intercede for Ramirez, Zhou Yi was picked up by the elevated Marquel, and Reus came up and hugged him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone was happy that Zhou Yi had succeeded in making Chelsea less personal.
This means that Dortmund have the numerical advantage and Ramirez's foul could well turn into a turning point in the game, deciding the outcome of the match.
But in the face of his happy teammates, Zhou Yi couldn't be happy, he frowned and said to them: "Don't be happy too early, guys." We have to score in the remaining minutes, otherwise it's hard to say what the outcome of this game will be. ”
Zhou Yi poured cold water at this time, and everyone was surprised.
"Why?" asked Mark.
'Of course Chelsea with one man less will shrink their defence and now the 90 minutes are coming up and if we don't score before that point and win the game. If the game goes to extra time, I think Mourinho would not hesitate to put a bus in front of the goal and then hope to drag the game to penalties. Don't forget, they have Sun Pan. ”
As soon as Zhou Yi explained this, everyone suddenly realized.
Although several matches have passed, Sun Pan's heroic appearance of saving penalties still left a very deep impression on many Dortmund players, and as soon as Zhou Yi mentioned it, everyone remembered that Dortmund met a team called Offenbach Kickers in the German Cup that year, and that team was mixed in the lower leagues at that time, and it was impossible to compete with the powerful Dortmund in terms of strength. So in that game, Klopp made a big rotation of the team's lineup, and Zhou Yi didn't even go away.
The result was such an insignificant opponent, but he successfully blocked Dortmund in the game, and finally defeated Dortmund on penalties, exposing a big upset at the time.
And why were Offenbach kickers able to knock out Borussia Dortmund?
Because the person standing in front of the Offenbach kickers was Sun Pan, he saved the shots of the Dortmund players many times in the game, and then played perfectly in the penalty shootout, he saved the penalty kicks of Gotze and Zidan in succession, helping the Offenbach kickers beat Dortmund 4:2 in the penalty shootout.
Sun Pan's performance in front of goal at that time was a nightmare for Dortmund.
If this game is really dragged to a penalty shootout, it will be very bad for Dortmund.
Zhou Yi's worries are very reasonable.
The thought of such a prospect made everyone unhappy.
"So come on, try to kill the game in ninety minutes!"
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he ran away. He doesn't care what the outcome will be on Ramirez's side, anyway, whether it is a yellow card or a direct red card, Ramires will be off.
Chelsea may not be happy with the decision, but if they knew that if it hadn't been for Ramirez's foul just now, they would have shoved the ball into the feet of Mark, who had already run into the void, I am afraid that Ramirez would have deserved the foul......
Because, if Ramirez doesn't foul, they won't even have a chance to put the bus.
Ramirez looked reckless, but he made the right choice.
※※※
The game restarted and Dortmund won a free-kick in front.
The Dortmund players in the front field will think of what Zhou Yi said, there is not much time left for them, they must seize the opportunity of Chelsea now with one less person and unstable formation, and score!
Borussia Dortmund then launched a fierce attack on the Chelsea goal.
Chelsea, who were not stupid, knew that one less man was dangerous, so they faced Dortmund's attack and opted to recycle the defence.
They knew Mourinho was going to make adjustments as quickly as possible, they just had to get through that time.
So even if Mourinho hasn't given instructions yet, the Chelsea players have consciously set up buses in front of their goals.
Although the Dortmund players worked hard, they were unable to break the goal guarded by Sun Pan in a very short time.
A minute after Ramirez came off the pitch, Chelsea made a substitution in the 87th minute. Midfielder Mikel came on to replace winger Schurrle, who had excelled in the game. Schurrle was outstanding, but now it's not about attacking but about strengthening the defence, so he has to be replaced.
This substitution also proves Zhou Yi's judgment of the situation, Mourinho is really going to put the bus. He realised his side couldn't win the game in 90 minutes, so dragging it to penalties was the best option.
Dortmund didn't give up on that. In the 88th minute, a series of quick passes from the edge of the Chelsea box set up a split-second chance for Mkhitaryan, who fired straight from distance on the edge of the box.
As a result, the ball went just wide of the goal......
After that, Dortmund never had a better shot on goal.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the 90-minute game after three minutes of stoppage time.
'Ninety minutes are over!' Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea drew 1-1 and neither side could decide the winner in regulation time......
'Chelsea, who brought back Jose Mourinho, were very tenacious in the game and they were sharp on the counter-attack. Similarly, Dortmund does not seem to have been able to withstand the impact of Zhou Yi running back and forth to receive the award, and played at a normal level. The two teams are evenly matched!"
※※※
Because there was only a very short five-minute break before extra time, I was afraid that the players should go back to the pitch when they walked back to the dressing room, so everyone rested on the pitch.
Jose Mourinho put his players in a circle, and he was in the circle, holding a tactical board to his players to hurry up and deploy extra-time tactics.
"Recycle the defense, Torres is in front, but also retreat to the center circle...... Mourinho holds the pieces with magnets and sets up the formation on the tactical board. "On the one hand, of course we have to do everything we can to hold their attack, and you can expect their attack to be crazy. But at the same time, the frenzier they attack, the more space there is behind their backline, so when it is certain that Torres can not come back to participate in the defense when he is sure to play their counter-attack, but focus his energy and energy on the counter-attack......"
On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp is doing the same thing: "If you can decide the winner in 30 minutes of extra time, of course it would be the best. But you also have to know that we are not afraid to play penalty kicks with them, they have Sun Pan, and we also have Roman!"
Jurgen Klopp was encouraging his players to avoid being too impatient in extra time.
At this point, he reflects the side of Zhou Yi's old way. Although what Zhou Yi said was right, saying it so unabashedly would inevitably cause panic among his teammates, and he inadvertently exaggerated the threat of his good friend Sun Pan.
If his teammates were afraid of his words and bombarded indiscriminately in extra time, causing the defense to be caught by the opponent and play a counterattack, then wouldn't Dortmund lose?
Even if Dortmund had not been used by Chelsea to score on the counter-attack in extra-time and drag the game to a penalty shootout, the fear of Sun Pan by the Dortmund players may not bring Dortmund good luck and good results......
Jurgen Klopp doesn't know what Zhou Yi said to his team-mates, and what he is doing now is just out of his professional qualities as a manager, and he needs to remind his players of possible crises and how to deal with them.
※※※
The five-minute break passed quickly and players from both sides returned to the pitch.
Chelsea kicked off in the first half of extra-time, but they didn't put too much effort into the attack after kick-off, which shows how Mourinho made changes before extra time.
When Dortmund's defensive line-up was in full swing, Chelsea had no intention of fighting, and handed over the ball with a hurried shot.
As Weidenfeller prepared to kick off the goal, the Chelsea players retreated into their own half as if the tide was receding. Torres, who was at the front, was also behind the halfway line.
Zhou Yi looked around and saw this scene.
I thought to myself, Sun Pan, that kid must be very happy.
Because the time has come for him to be in the limelight......
Sun Pan was indeed very excited, he tightened his gloves, stood in front of the door and yelled: "Come on!!"
He was ready for Dortmund's attacking fury.
His body trembled slightly, but he knew that it was not nervousness, let alone fear, but excitement, excitement and uncontrollable.
