After Zhou Yi took the lead for Borussia Dortmund, the game restarted, and Bayer Leverkusen, who were behind the score, were of course unwilling to lose to Dortmund away from home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Prior to this game, Bayer Leverkusen were second with 34 points, while Borussia Dortmund were third with 32 points.

If Dortmund win this game, then they will overtake Bayer Leverkusen by one point and regain second place in the league.

When Bayer Leverkusen came to play away games, they took advantage of Dortmund's recent poor form to beat them away from home and widen the gap to five points.

While Bayer Leverkusen have one less individual, Borussia Dortmund also has one less. So there is no difference in numbers between the two sides, which gave Bayer Leverkusen the courage to equalize.

If Dortmund has one more person, Leverkusen will have to think about it when they are desperate to fight back, they have a small number of people and occupy a disadvantage, will they be counterattacked by the large number of Leverkusen?

Now that both sides have the same number of people, there is no such thing as a disadvantage.

Jurgen Klopp, for his part, reacted quickly, and while the Dortmund players celebrated their goals, he had already grabbed the nearest player on the pitch and asked him to pass on the latest instructions to the others - to shrink the defence and play counter-attack.

At the same time, he is still preparing to use up the third substitution.

Mkhitaryan is warming up.

There is no technical and tactical adjustment and significance in this substitution. Purely to stall for time.

However, the person he wants to replace with Mkhitaryan is not Zhou Yi, who can play a role in controlling the tempo on the court, and he is not useless in defence.

When Zhou Yi scored the penalty, it was in the 87th minute of the game.

There wasn't much time left until the end of the game.

When the fourth official held up a sign for five minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines, there was a wave of boos at Westerland. Borussia Dortmund fans apparently thought that stoppage time was too much, what if Bayer Leverkusen equalised in those five minutes?

In the 91st minute, Jurgen Klopp used up his last substitution.

He replaced striker Mark Wagner with Mkhitaryan.

Mark, who was substituted, did not trot all the way, but walked slowly off the field, which caused dissatisfaction among the Leverkusen players on the field, and some people wanted to come up to "help" Mark to go faster, but Mark pushed back.

This time, the players from both sides quickly gathered together.

This time, though, the Dortmund players' "resentment" is more of a disguise to disguise their true purpose.

The real purpose, of course, is to delay the game.

Since the referee gave five minutes of stoppage time, it was a matter of other things to make those five minutes too fast. Although the referee will also make up time for any delay in injury time, generally speaking, it is rare to make up time in full, and it is meant to be over.

And this is still Dortmund's home stadium, and the referee can't ignore the home factor.

Marcel Leif said: "Bayer Leverkusen's players are too impulsive...... At this time, he took the initiative to push the mark, which is simply to provide ammunition to Dortmund...... Now Dortmund can be wasting a little bit of time in the open......"

Bayer Leverkusen's head coach Hyypia stood on the sidelines, spreading his hands, not knowing whether he was helpless at the uncoolness of his players or dissatisfied with Dortmund's shamelessness.

Eventually, after a minute, the clash between the players of both sides ended. In fact, Dortmund's side has restrained a lot in this conflict, which can also be seen as proof of Dortmund's deliberate delay in time - although it seems that it is not happy with the approach of the Leverkusen players, but the Dortmund players just gather around and shout with their mouths, and do not get started. This is not the same as the conflict caused by Zhou Yi being shoveled down in the penalty area.

Mark received a yellow card for pushing an opposing player with a backhand, but he didn't have a yellow card on him before, so it doesn't matter if he has a yellow card now, he helped the team delay a little longer, and his task has been completed.

Looking at this mess, Marcel Leif shook his head and sighed: "Whatever the final result, this game has a big impact on both teams. It can be said that it is a lose-lose situation. They've fought so hard in this league game, and it's really worrying about how much energy and form they can put into the Champions League next week......

If both teams are eliminated from the Champions League group stage because of this battle for second and third place in the league, Marcel Leif really can't say whether it is worth it......

Of course, outsiders can also consider this issue, but the two teams in the middle of it, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, are not qualified to consider such a problem.

※※※

After Mkhitaryan came on the pitch, the result of this match was actually almost fixed.

The clash that started when Mark came off seemed to drain the temper and fighting spirit of the Leverkusen players, and in the next few minutes, Leverkusen had a couple of shots on goal, but did not pose much of a threat to Weidenfeller's goal.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, there were boos and cheers at the West** Stadium at the same time.

The cheers were of course for the victory, but the boos were for the dissatisfaction with the referee.

For this victory, Dortmund paid the price of injuries to two main players and Yan Min being sent off with red cards, not to mention the fact that many players received yellow cards.

And in the eyes of Dortmund fans, this is completely avoidable. From the beginning of the game, Leverkusen showed a very strong aggressiveness, they are very big, if the referee can strictly enforce the law to curb Leverkusen's tendency, so that the intensity of the game is reduced, maybe Sven Bender and Shaheen will not be injured, Zhou Yi will not be tackled by the opponent in the penalty area, Yan Min will not be sent off for wanting to give him a head......

The bottom line is that if Bayer Leverkusen don't play like this, Dortmund at home shouldn't have had so much trouble winning the game.

Borussia Dortmund fans were unhappy, as were Bayer Leverkusen's players and coaches.

They still think that Zhou Yi faked a fall in the penalty area, and he deceived the referee, which led to Dortmund's unjust enrichment, and Sparšić was sent off for it.

They were also annoyed by Dortmund's deliberate procrastination at the last moments, who thought Dortmund was too mean.

And these will become the topic of debate after the game, although the game is over, but the topic caused by the game is far from over.

After the game, Zhou Yi was pulled to the mixed area by reporters for an interview, and what everyone wanted to know most was whether his fall in the penalty area was a fake fall.

Faced with this problem, Zhou Yi took off his sneakers and socks, and then let everyone see a red spot above the heel of his right foot.

"It was kicked by Spašić. You can't just think it's not a foul just because I haven't broken my leg, it's unfair, right?"

In the face of the evidence presented by Zhou Yi, reporters put their cameras and camera lenses together and filmed this scene.

Later, the Chinese reporter asked Zhou Yi what he thought of Yan Min's red card.

"I don't want to judge the referee of this game. Although Zhou Yi said this, everyone could still feel some dissatisfaction from his tone. 'It's bad behaviour to get a red card in a game, but I don't think anyone in the dressing room, including me, will complain about him taking one less man from the team. In this game, Yan Min's performance was excellent, and this red card was also part of the excellent performance. ”

A German journalist asked: "You fought so hard against Bayer Leverkusen, Sven Bender and Shaheen were injured as a result, will this affect the Champions League group stage qualification in the following week, and do you think it is worth it to win the game at such a cost?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, I don't know. But when we're in this game, of course we think about this game. Also, I don't think it's going to have any detrimental effect on our next Champions League games, we'll be out of this group. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yi waved his hand and stopped accepting the interview and left the mixed area.

Although he won the match, judging by his expression, he was not very happy.

This made what he said before less credible.

Nothing to detrimental to the upcoming Champions League group stage?

Sven Bender and Shaheen are injured, and the only midfielder Dortmund can use now is veteran Sebastian Kehl.

How is it possible?

It is not yet known what the exact extent of Sven Bender and Shaheen's injuries were, serious injuries or minor injuries.

Anyway, after the two people came down from the field, they were directly pulled to the hospital for examination and treatment. From this point of view, I'm afraid it's not a minor injury that can come back after a few days of rest.

Two main players were injured, this is what makes Zhou Yi feel bad, right?

On the other side, in the post-match press conference, Klopp was also upset by the incident: "Yes, we won the game. But I don't want to think about it right now......"

Why don't you think about it, no one asks him, because there is bound to be an answer that everyone knows.

Because Dortmund actually lost two main players in one game!

Sometimes, it feels like "bad luck" alone doesn't describe Dortmund......
