Chapter 341: The Little Shrimp of United
In the Offenbach kicker's locker room, Sun Pan was being congratulated by his teammates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I've been here for more than three months, and I haven't learned much German, so it's relatively difficult for Sun Pan to communicate with his teammates, but it doesn't matter, you don't need to say too much at this time, give a thumbs up, and Sun Pan will know what his teammates mean.
He accepted all the praise of his teammates.
He knew that Zhou Yi must be watching this game, not only that, but Yang Muge would also watch it. And they'll definitely be live in the group as well.
So everyone else can see it, especially He Ying.
Coming from Chelsea to this place where birds don't lay eggs is undoubtedly a setback.
As for why he came here, he didn't know very well, he came anyway.
Compared to his friends, he was the most unsuccessful one. Don't look at him talking heartlessly in the group, but his self-esteem is still quite strong, and he doesn't want others to know his current situation.
If it weren't for the coincidence of Offenbach's kicker meeting Borussia Dortmund, he probably wouldn't have told his friends that he had played here until the end of his loan spell.
Now that everyone knows, Sun Pan is holding back his strength to perform well in the game, and he wants everyone to know that he Sun Pan is not a degenerate, but a new life!
It's gold that shines everywhere, and it's genius who can perform well wherever he plays!
So, he's in really good shape for this game.
The team's head coach, Mr. Wolff, was also pleasantly surprised by Sun's performance, and he was forced to start this game - just before this game, Chelsea Football Club tactfully pressured him to give more games to their loanees.
It's been two months since the league started, and Sun Pan hasn't played yet, which is really unreasonable.
Chelsea don't just take a player out on loan and leave it alone.
So Wolf had no choice but to let Sun Pan start in this game.
Unexpectedly, Sun Pan, who started the game, gave him a big surprise.
After he came in, he was the first to praise Sun Pan's performance, and then told the whole team to continue to play like this in the second half, keep on and make sure not to concede goals.
The German Cup is a single-elimination system, there is no such thing as a home-and-away double leg, and it is not like the English Cup, where if the two teams draw, they will be replayed on a later date.
Once the German Cup is tied at 90 minutes, it goes straight to 30 minutes of extra time. If the extra time is still tied, the penalty shootout will be sacrificed.
So if the Offenbach kickers can hold Dortmund to a draw in the 120 minutes, they can get a penalty kick to face Dortmund.
This is certainly the best result, as penalties can offset a lot of the difference in quality between the two sides.
In addition, Sun Pan's state today is really surprisingly good......
You can look forward to it!

After the start of the second half, Dortmund continued to lay siege to the Offenbach kicker's goal.
And the offensive was more violent.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi thought that he must have been scolded by head coach Klopp at halftime......
But no matter how fierce Dortmund's offensive was and how tricky his shots were, Sun Pan really was like a hanger, high and low, saving Dortmund's shots again and again.
"Sun!
"Sun! He held Qi Dan's close header in his arms, very steady!"
"Grosskloitz shot suddenly, but Sun still punched out!"
In the 60th minute, Dortmund, who had been unable to score for a long time, took the lead in making substitution adjustments, and Shinji Kagawa, who was sitting on the bench watching the play, was substituted for Grosskloytz, who did not perform well in the attack.
Shinji Kagawa's arrival was a signal that Dortmund would go all out to beat Offenbach in the 90 minutes.
However, it seems that it is a little late to adjust at this time......
Sun Pan's incredible saves greatly boosted the fighting spirit and confidence of the Offenbach kickers, and made them realize that they could not only be a foil for strong teams.
Next, the whole team of Offenbach kickers united, not only relying on Sun Pan's save, but all 11 of them shrank back into their own 30-meter area, forming a great wall of human flesh, using an eye-catching defensive method to prevent Dortmund from scoring.
The commentators also began to favor the Offenbach kickers a little bit in the commentary.
After all, sympathy for the weak is a psychology that everyone will have, especially when the weak person is still very tenacious, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, they will naturally get the support of many neutrals when they fight against strong enemies.
And the performance of the Offenbach kickers so far in this game is fully worthy of support.
In the 73rd minute, Wolf switched midfielder Dacosta with a defender, Tel, apparently trying to further strengthen the defence.
Borussia Dortmund brought on striker Mark Wagner in place of midfielder Antonio da Silva, who started the game. Continue to intensify the offensive.
However, Dortmund's adjustment did not make a difference, and by the 85th minute, the score was still 0-0, and Dortmund could not break the goal of the Offenbach kicker.
At this point, Jurgen Klopp used up his last substitution and replaced midfielder Forner with Gotze.
But until the end of the 90 minutes, Dortmund still failed to score.
When the referee blew the 90-minute whistle, there was a huge cheer at the Bibere Borg Stadium, the home of the Offenbach kickers.
"It's unbelievable! The Offenbach kickers actually defended their goal in the game! They didn't concede a goal for 90 minutes! I believe that many people must have not expected this result before the game, right? Dortmund fans must have thought that the suspense of this game would be over in 20 minutes......" said the commentator excitedly.
"Despite Dortmund's frequent second-half moves, they couldn't break the Offenbach kicker's goal. The Offenbach players are clearly in form, and under the leadership of young goalkeeper Sun, they play with confidence, giving every defence and ...... Dortmund rarely even get free-kicks!"
Dortmund's attack, on the other hand, seemed to be mired in a quagmire and depleted of inspiration, and they could only find opportunities through simple and boring crosses from the wings, and only to live from beyond the box to provide more opportunities for Offenbach's goalkeeper to show. At this time, I think every Dortmund fan in front of the TV must miss Zhou Yi immensely, and Klopp will regret not bringing him to Offenbach. ”
Zhou Yi didn't expect this to be pulled by himself, he rolled his eyes in front of the TV. It's not a good thing to mention yourself at this time, which means that if Dortmund loses, then he will face the question of journalists: "Do you think that Klopp didn't take you to Offenbach because you lost to your opponents?"
It's a stupid question, but it's a journalist who loves to ask. Zhou Yi had to face it again.
Of course, Zhou Yi couldn't say: "Yes, it's all because they didn't take me, if I was on the court, winning them would be like chopping melons and vegetables......"
He's not that stupid.
As much as he would have liked to have been able to contribute to the team on the spot, he doesn't know if Klopp regretted not taking him, but he regretted not going ......anyway
Now he thought of what Yang Muge said to himself at halftime.
Damn, I didn't expect Lao Yang to have a crow's mouth attribute!

The five-minute break passed quickly.
Players from both sides returned to the pitch and then began the first half of extra time.
Because they were able to draw against Dortmund in 90 minutes without conceding a single goal, the Offenbach players were full of confidence when they came on the pitch, although they were also quite tired, but at this time, the mental will has surpassed the physiological.
In fact, when it comes to this game, the test is really not the level of skill and tactics, but the quality of will.
Unlike the scrappy Offenbach kickers, Borussia Dortmund's players looked depressed.
Because they thought that the game could be ended in the first half, but in the end, the opponent dragged the game into extra time. And in the game, no matter how they attack or shoot, they just can't score. It was too demoralizing for them.
The goalkeeper was like a drug, jumping up and down, and he was extremely flexible. Again and again, their attacks were in vain.
It's as if even God isn't on their side today.
Once such a thought is in mind, the Dortmund players get frustrated. Morale is naturally not much higher.
The demoralised Borussia Dortmund played a little frustrated in the first half of extra time, but instead gave Offenbach's kickers the upper hand, and Dortmund's goal was also threatened.
Klopp watched this scene thundering on the sidelines, yelling at the pitch, and the tendons in his neck were rising.
Obviously, he was very unhappy with the performance of the players.
But now he has no recruitment, all the substitutions have been used up, and he can't do anything except be anxious off the field......
At the end of the first half of fifteen minutes of extra time, Dortmund still did not score. Not to mention scoring goals, it's good that they didn't concede......
The two sides did not take a break and directly exchanged venues.
In fact, the players on both sides are very tired, and Dortmund is fighting on three fronts, even if a large number of rotations have been made, the players' physical fitness is still not enough.
So as soon as the second half of extra time began, striker Zidan had cramps.
However, at this time, Dortmund no longer had a substitution quota, even if Zidan had cramps, he could only stay on the field, and he had to make up the number on the pitch if he couldn't run or stand, and his offensive contribution to the team was basically zero......
The game came down to show that Dortmund were at the end of their rope, while Offenbach's kickers seemed to be in sight of victory.
At the Biberet Borg Stadium, the singing and cheering of the Offenbach kickers fans continued to stream from the television.
And Zhou Yi in front of the TV has fallen into silence and has not spoken in the group for a long time......
