Chapter 240: Confrontation
Dortmund's dominance continues, or rather, Dortmund's offensive has become more ferocious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the eighteenth minute, Kuba won the ball near the centre circle and deftly dodged the Bayern Munich player before sending a through ball.
Royce runs forward and prepares to catch the ball. Meanwhile, Lahm was in hot pursuit behind him and tackled the moment Reus caught the ball!
But he didn't tackle the ball, he didn't tackle anyone, and Royce took the ball forward and swept past Lahm. He has almost formed a single knife!
Dante can only get stuck on the inside, trying not to let Reus go to the middle of the box, and if he can force Reus to the side, the defense will be considered a success.
Reuss, who was dribbling the ball, hit the penalty area and shot directly with his feet.
The football flew towards the goal like a shooting star, and the momentum sank!
Neuer, who blocked the near corner, made a sideways pounce and saved Reuss' shot off the line!
"Royce—ah!!!" exclaimed Marcel Leff. 'Borussia Dortmund missed the chance to score again! Manuel Neuer was perfect!'
"It's just a one-man affair, and it's not open!" He Ping also praised Neuer's performance. "That's the perfect expression of 'a good goalkeeper top half team'!"
In the 21st minute, Dortmund launched another attack, the football was passed to the left side by Zhou Yi, Kuba caught up with the football near the bottom line, and then adjusted slightly, and then passed the football into the penalty area. It's not a high cross, it's an inverted triangle bocce ball that hits the ground.
The football fell to the feet of Zhou Yi, who was inserted into the penalty area.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, his upper body shook for a moment, and then he shot with his feet!
He was aiming for the far corner of the goal, and the ball went through the defenders in the box and went straight to the back post!
This kick shot was actually very sudden, and it was also a thief, everyone thought that he was going to open the angle horizontally, but he suddenly shot at his feet, and he was very particular about the angle, but the football was held in his arms by Neuer on the ground!
"Zhou Yi's shot!" He Ping shouted excitedly, but then he sighed: "Oops!
It was Zhou Yi's first shot of the game and was not able to break through Bayern Munich's goal.
※※※
Dortmund's continuous onslaught at the beginning was all rejected by Neuer, and the goalkeeper's outstanding performance also made Bayern Munich, which was a little flustered by Dortmund, gradually calm down and restore confidence.
In the 25th minute, Bayern Munich won a free kick near the center circle of the front field.
Instead of sending the ball directly into the box, Lahm sent a low ball to Muller in front of the box, who moved the ball sideways to Ribery on the left flank in the face of a close press from Borussia Dortmund.
Ribery received the ball and dribbled it down, but in the process of getting down, he suddenly got up and crossed!
This caught the Dortmund defenders off guard.
The football flew high towards Dortmund's goal.
There, Hummels jumped up to clear the ball with a header, but he jumped backwards, didn't jump high enough, and was crushed by Mandzukic who was jumping in the sprint!
"Mandzukic—!"
With the roar of the commentator stretching his voice, Mandzukic hit the ball on the line of the six-yard box!
The ball quickly changed direction and flew towards the goal!
Following the Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who moved from the front point to the back point, jumped up completely subconsciously and waved his right arm!
Hit the ball over the crossbar!
"Mandzukic! What a risk! Weidenfeller made a very, very great save! He dragged Mandzukic's close-range header off the crossbar!" Hepin's heart was on the verge of stopping just now - it would be a huge blow to Dortmund if Dortmund couldn't go on a rampage and Bayern Munich scored first...... He Ping is not a Bayern Munich fan, nor is he a Dortmund fan, it stands to reason that he should be very neutral, but Dortmund has Zhou Yi, so he must be inclined to support Dortmund, hoping that Dortmund can win, so that Zhou Yi will become the first Chinese player to lift the Champions League trophy, which will make him a Chinese commentator and honored.
"Weidenfeller! This save is completely reflexive! After Neuer made a series of high-quality saves, Weidenfeller is not willing to be lonely! This season, Dortmund can win the league championship and reach the Champions League final, Weidenfeller's performance is also very important!"
Weidenfeller was able to save the close-range header, Mandzukic himself couldn't believe it, and after landing, he pointed to the ball flying off the bottom line, not knowing what to say......
However, he managed to earn a corner for Bayern Munich.
Schweinsteiger's corner flew straight to the back of goal, and this time it was Javi Martinez who jumped up to head the ball just over the crossbar...... Weidenfeller couldn't make a save this time, he just turned his head and sent the ball off the line.
"Oh!!!" there was a sound of inhalation from the stands.
Bayern Munich fans were thrilled - after being suppressed by Dortmund for more than 20 minutes in a row, Bayern Munich was finally about to fight back!
"Borussia Dortmund have been attacking in the past and have not been able to score, so I think it may have planted a time bomb for this game...... There is a good saying that wasting opportunities will be retributed......" He Ping said with some concern.
※※※
In the next game, it is indeed no longer the trend of Dortmund having the upper hand.
Instead, the two sides have offense and defense against each other, you come and go, and the game has officially entered the offensive stage.
The fans on both sides in the stands also cheered and booed as their respective teams attacked and defended, and the atmosphere in the stadium was very enthusiastic.
In the 28th minute, Zhou Yi launched a fast attack, and in order to stop Dortmund's fast attack, Dante had to pull down Reus, who was running to catch the ball. As a result, he received a yellow card for this tactical foul.
"Less than half an hour into the game, centre-back Dante received a yellow card, which is not good news for Bayern Munich...... But it seems that Dante has no better way than to foul, and Dortmund's fast attack just now is very sudden and successful......"
Dante stopped Dortmund's fast break at the cost of a yellow card, but Dortmund's free-kick did not pose much of a threat to Neuer's goal.
Next it was Bayern Munich's turn to attack. They started with a series of passes down the left flank, but the Dortmund players failed to break the ball when they swooped, disrupting their own defensive formation.
After Ribery turned to let go of the rushing Gundogan, he faced Sven Bender, who was already on the ground and shoveled towards the football, Ribery accelerated and rushed up, his speed and explosiveness advantage were vividly reflected in this moment - although it seemed that he was further away from the football than Sven Bender, but he stabbed the football first, and stabbed the football diagonally in front!
The ball passed between the two Dortmund centre-backs and rolled straight into the huge open space on the right flank, where there was hardly a single Dortmund defender but only ...... Robben!
"Robben!!"
In the excited shouting of the commentator, Robben easily received the ball and formed a single knife!
He dribbled towards the Borussia Dortmund penalty area, and Weidenfeller also dropped the ball!
The pitch was loud and loud at its highest level since the start of the game, with Bayern Munich fans cheering desperately and Dortmund fans screaming and boosing.
"Robben, Robben, Robben, Robben, Robben, Robben......" Marcel Leif was so excited that he could only repeat Robben's name over and over again, and had no time to say anything else.
The two soon met in the big penalty area and Robben got up and shot at goal!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Robben had a lot of power and shot the ball very quickly.
In the face of such a high speed, Weidenfeller could hardly react.
In fact, Weidenfeller did not make a save, but Robben shot the ball a little squarely, directly hitting Weidenfeller's chest!
Then it bounced off the bottom line......
"Robben Robben Robben...... Ahh "He missed this one-on-one shot!"
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands sighed, while Robben did not hold his head in his hands, with a look of regret, he ran directly to the bottom line, picked up the football that flew out, and ran to the corner flag area with his arms, ready to take a corner kick.
"Robben is here again!" on the Chinese Internet, the ridicule about Robben also began.
"Undercover undercover!"
"Damn, Robben is really a soft-footed shrimp!"
"After all, Luo Laohan, he's old......"
In fact, this is Robben's third Champions League final and fourth final of a major competition.
In the previous two Champions League finals and one World Cup final, Robben failed in the final and failed to win the championship.
In the Champions League final against Chelsea, Bayern Munich won a penalty in extra time, which was a great opportunity for Bayern Munich to beat Chelsea and lift the Champions League trophy on their own doorstep.
However, Arjen Robben's spot-kick was saved by Petr Cech and extra-time ended and the game was dragged into a brutal penalty shoot-out, while a demoralised Bayern Munich eventually lost the chance to lift the trophy on their home soil after losing to Chelsea on penalties.
In the 2010 World Cup final, Robben had three chances to score a solo goal, but none of them were scored, and the game was eventually dragged into extra time. In extra-time, Andres Iniesta's volley put Spain on the throne and left Robben missing out on the title again.
This Champions League final, as Bayern Munich coach Heynckes said, is a journey of redemption, not only the redemption of the entire Bayern Munich team, but also Robben's redemption of himself.
He wants to use a championship to prove that he is definitely not an "undercover agent", nor is he a "soft-footed shrimp"!
