Chapter 221: A Real Turning Point
When Lewandowski shot the football out, some anxious Dortmund fans couldn't wait to cheer, in their opinion, Lewandowski's kick is simply no suspense, definitely in!
But in less than a second, they saw Neuer fall to the ground and pounce on the football!
The cheers came to an abrupt end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Neuer's brilliant save! He got the ball out!"
Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. He is not a supporter of Bayern Munich, he just thinks that Lewandowski did not score this goal, which makes this game still suspenseful and better.
Lewandowski...... Oops! I've been thrown out!" Duan Xin sighed. "Neuer is doing very well!"
As a player who moved from Ruhr derby rivals Schalke 04 to Bayern Munich in the national derby, Neuer is certainly doubly hated in the minds of Dortmund fans.
The ball that was pounced on by Neuer spun and flew off the baseline, and after Neuer rolled on the ground, he got up and swung his fist hard, roaring.
His teammates rushed up to hug and high-five him one by one, thanking him for his great saves.
When the penalty was awarded, many Bayern Munich players were devastated. It can be said that Neuer's save saved Bayern Munich's hope of winning the championship, and it was also a great boost to the team's morale. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the "savior" of Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich was cheering and celebrating, and Lewandowski, who missed the penalty, held his head in his hands, looked up to the sky and sighed, looking annoyed.
The rest of the Borussia Dortmund players were in a similar mood.
In a second, they fell from the clouds of happiness to the bottom.
It's not just that the penalty doesn't go through, it's also demoralizing a lot of Borussia Dortmund players – if you don't take such a good opportunity, can there be a better chance after that?
Not scoring a penalty in any game is a devastating blow to a team's morale, let alone such an important one......
This can be seen from the silence in the stands at West** Stadium.

"Damn, I didn't score a penalty! God doesn't want Dortmund to win the championship!"
"Is the sky going to die?"
"I feel that Lewandowski's kick is already very beautiful, and Neuer can still save it, which is amazing!"
"Heartache for Dortmund for a second......"
On the Chinese Internet, fans have also expressed their opinions on Lewandowski's penalty not being scored.
In the eyes of those who supported Borussia Dortmund and Zhou Yi, the failure to score the penalty was a disaster and could well bode for a less than good future......
※※※
The penalty did affect the mood of the Dortmund players, and after the game continued, Dortmund's corner kick did not pose any threat to Bayern Munich's goal, but Bayern Munich's morale was greatly boosted, and they took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Dortmund goal, which overwhelmed Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund can only defend passively.
Dortmund fans are nervous about heart attacks.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi decided to do something to change the current status quo.
Attack and burn the flames of war to the opponent's half?
This is of course the best way to do it, but it is not easy to achieve it perfectly.
At the beginning, when the possession fell to Dortmund, Zhou Yi also launched a fast attack, but the quality was quite poor, and the players were affected by the penalty kick, the state was unstable, the game was too impatient, and the mistakes were frequent. At this time, the fast break is just a quick handover of football to Bayern Munich......
The most realistic approach may be to deliberately slow down the speed and rhythm when the football is under their feet, and use slow to deal with Bayern Munich's current fast, the so-called "overcoming rigidity with softness".
So when the football fell to Zhou Yi's feet, he didn't rush to pass the football forward, but turned around and kicked a horizontal pass, and after passing the ball, he quickly ran to the next location and shouted: "Pass the ball to me!"
He was afraid that his teammate would kick the football in front of him with a big kick.
He can understand some of his team-mates' thoughts about keeping the ball as far away from his penalty area as possible, but that means nothing other than handing possession to the opposition.
It's better to keep the football under your feet and re-stabilize the situation and emotions.
Sven Bender saw that Zhou Yi was so eager to ask for the ball, so he passed the football to Zhou Yi again.
Zhou Yi was about to catch the ball, but Gustavo rushed up to steal him.
Zhou Yi raised his feet and made a gesture to catch the ball, but he didn't really catch the ball, but let the football roll in front of him, and then he turned around to chase the ball.
At this time, Gustavo's foot swept over, originally Gustavo was going to break the ball, but the ball was conceded by Zhou Yi, and his foot swept away...... It's not a complete sweep, because his feet swept to Zhou Yi's supporting feet!
Zhou Yi was not able to complete the turn, but was directly swept to the ground by Gustavo! He spun and fell to the ground, flipped twice, and covered the heel position of his left foot.
Referee Gagelman's whistle rang out amid loud boos.
"Foul! Gustavo, this is a very bad foul!" Duan Xin shouted angrily. It is getting closer and closer to the end of the league and the World Cup qualifiers for the Chinese team.
In the Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid, Zhou Yi was kicked in the ankle of his left foot by Khedira, which worried Heat at the time, but fortunately, there didn't seem to be any big problem and it didn't affect his next games. Now he has been swept by Gustavo in his left foot......" Marcel Leif frowned. In the case of Gotze's injury, if Zhou Yi is injured again, Dortmund may collapse on the whole line, losing not only a league title, but also the Champions League title!

Gustavo, who knew that he was foul, hurriedly ran to pull Zhou Yi, on the one hand, he wanted to show friendship, and on the other hand, he wanted Zhou Yi to stand up quickly and not continue to lie on the ground, so that it looked as if he had been kicked lightly.
Gustavo did this in the hope that the referee would be able to take it into account when making a decision.
Gagelman ran, his hand fumbling in his breast pocket.
Looks like it's going to be drawn.
This is also normal, if this foul is not carded, I am afraid that Dortmund fans will never agree.
Gustavo continued to pull Zhou Yi up, wanting to pull Zhou Yi up.
Sven Bender, who was next to him, pushed him away, and Zhou Yi was still lying on the ground with his heels covered, now he wants to let the family stand up, how can there be such a thing?
Of course he has to defend his players.
Sven Bender's push stirred emotions on the side of the Bayern Munich players, who quickly surrounded them.
Of course, the Dortmund players could not let their teammates suffer, and immediately sided with Sven Bender and exchanged scolding with the Bayern Munich players.
Referee Gagelman was about to take out his cards, but when he saw this, he could only whistle again and again to signal the players on both sides to calm down.
At the same time, in front of the coaches of both sides on the sidelines, there was no rest.
Bayern Munich's sporting director, Matthias Summer, shouted that Sven Bender was deliberately provocative.
Jurgen Klopp, on the other hand, stood up and shouted for his players: "Let's see what your people have done first!"
The two men glared angrily at the fourth referee in the middle.
※※※
In the chaos, Zhou Yi stood up from the ground by himself.
He didn't lie on the ground like he did in the last game and waited until the team doctor came up.
Because the situation is different from the one who played Real Madrid today.
In the last game, what Dortmund needed was to stall for time, and Zhou Yi could certainly go on the ground for as long as he wanted.
And in this game, Dortmund lacks time the most, he must get up from the ground as soon as possible and race against time.
After getting up, he moved his ankle, and it hurt a little, but it was not unbearable.
Gustavo's kick just now was sturdy, but fortunately he didn't shine the spikes, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand up.
※※※
Struggling to line up the players on both sides of the conflict, referee Gagelman called Gustavo to his side alone.
Gustavo was still babbling in his mouth to defend himself: "I went to rush the ball, who knew he actually missed the football ......"
Gagelman shook his head, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a ...... Red!
"Red card!" Gustavo was sent off!" exclaimed Marcel Leff.
"It's not too much to kick people in the back and give a red card!" Duan Xin applauded referee Gagelman's decision.
There was a round of cheers and applause at the Wester** stadium, and Dortmund fans thought the referee's decision was fair. But if it were at the Allianz Arena, I'm afraid it would be booing.
In fact, the commentator of Munich Radio felt that Gagelmann's punishment was too harsh: "Gustavo definitely didn't want to kick Zhou Yi subjectively, he just made a mistake in prediction...... Giving a yellow card is already very harsh, but giving a red card is too much!"
Gustavo's red card also made the emotions of the Bayern Munich players even more emotional, especially Gustavo himself, who saw that he was a red card, immediately changed his face and tried to rush to the referee Gagelmann, but he was stopped by his teammates. Across his teammates, he shouted at Gagelman: "This shouldn't be a red card!
Gagelman didn't explain to him, just pointed to the sidelines and motioned for him to hurry down.
In the end, Gustavo reluctantly got off the field after being pushed by his teammates, otherwise he would have wanted to keep burning.
In that case, I'm afraid he'll be punished after the game.

While Summerer and Klopp were facing off, Heynckes was thinking about how to play this game next.
Bayern Munich, who has one less man, is still making a big fuss on the flanks as before, attacking against Dortmund?
In this case, I am afraid that I will die faster.
Fortunately, the score is now a draw, not a deficit, so Bayern Munich can choose to recycle the defense and try to hold on to this draw. In the absence of a win, a draw is also good for Bayern Munich.
Thinking of this, Heynckes decided to adjust accordingly.
When a penalty was awarded, many people must have thought that it would be the turning point of the game.
But now it seems that Gustavo's red card was the real turning point of the game......
