Amid the deafening cheers of Dortmund fans, Reus ran towards the corner flag area, then turned around and opened his arms to greet the teammates who were swarming in.

Everyone rushed up, except goalkeeper Weidenfeller, everyone rushed to Reus, then hugged him and picked him up.

This ball is crucial for Dortmund. If Dortmund cannot equalize the score in a short period of time, the rhythm of the game may fall into Atletico Madrid's hands.

In fact, despite some twists and turns, Dortmund equalized the score very quickly - now only six minutes have passed since they conceded the ball.

Reus kicked very beautifully. Although Zhou Yi's assist was also beautiful, he kept volleying the ball directly. He shot with such a difficult shot and could bypass the ten fingers of goalkeeper Sun Pan who was like a divine help in the last round, which is enough to show that Reus's footsteps are at the level of his foot.

No matter how beautiful Zhou Yi's pass is, his teammates cannot convert into goals, which is useless.

So at this time, Reus is the well-deserved protagonist.

Even He Ping could not ignore Reus's light at this time, and rarely did not introduce Zhou Yi as the protagonist.

Zhou Yi was by Reus, cheering and celebrating the goal with others.

※※※

While Dortmund players were celebrating the goal wildly, Sun Pan had already pulled the ball out of the goal and kicked the ball directly in front with a big foot.

He even swears when he kicks.

Only swearing can vent his inner emotions.

What did he say before the game?

To ensure that Dortmund is not allowed to score a goal, it means that it will concede zero goals.

As a result, the game only started in less than twenty minutes, and the goal he set for himself was not fulfilled...

But this ball... he tried his best but still couldn't save it. What could he say? He couldn't complain that his teammates had gone around Zhou Yi and ignored Reus. In fact, although his teammates reacted a little too aggressively when Zhou Yi took the ball, they were also normal to react. After all, Zhou Yi is very threatening, but who would have thought that Zhou Yi could use a very subtle move to pass the football when he was in a siege? It was also so accurate...

He could only vent all his anger on that kick.

Sun Pan felt very unhappy about losing the ball, but in fact, for Atletico Madrid, this loss is not the end of the world.

Because Atletico Madrid already scored a away goal, the total score is 1:1 now. If the score remains until the end, Atletico Madrid will eliminate Dortmund due to its away goal advantage.

So Atletico Madrid has nothing to panic.

Their head coach Simeone also realized this at the first time. After feeling a little annoyed about losing the ball, he immediately calmed down and shouted into the field, desperately making a push down with both hands, signaling the whole team to calm down and not worry.

Reus' goal was played on the TV, but unlike the volleyball that was only played at the beginning, this time the whole process was played, starting from Subotic's first pass to Zhou Yi, until Reus scored the goal, the whole process was clearly reflected in the TV screen.

He Ping no longer needs anyone to praise Reus at this time. He reminded everyone to focus on Zhou Yi: "...This ball can clearly see Zhou Yi's core position in Dortmund's attack. After touching the ball, other Dortmund players almost pass the football to Zhou Yi again. If they don't give Zhou Yi the ball, they will be blocked... Reus's volley was beautiful, but he also had to see that it was Zhou Yi's continuous running and passing ball, which gave him such an opportunity. Atletico Madrid's defense against Zhou Yi in this game can be said to be very strict, but he still couldn't defend Zhou Yi... When Zhou Yi passed the ball with his heel, it was like his eyes on the back of his head, and he knew the situation behind him clearly..."

The Chinese Internet is also full of praise for Zhou Yi's series of passes: "Slutty! So sexy! Zhou Yi's pass is so sexy!"

"There are eyes on the back of the head!"

"Like a scalpel..."

"Haha! Even if Atletico Madrid asks everyone to defend Zhou Yi, I believe he can still send football! My big Zhou Yi is so cool!"

"Zhou·World Wave Maker·Yi!"

After this goal, Marcel Leif also mentioned that Zhou Yi's importance was irreplaceable. If he hadn't picked the ball with a continuous heel pass in the final game, he would not have had the opportunity to face the offensive direction head-on, and it would be difficult for him to pass such a ball.

So although Reus's volley in the end was cool, Zhou Yi's series of performances before this was the focus of the professionals' infatuation.

However, as an assist, Zhou Yi is naturally not as glorious as Reus who scored goals in the eyes of most public people.

Zhou Yi himself doesn’t care about this. It doesn’t matter who is showing off, but the important thing is the goal. If he didn’t show off, he would have to die of Sun Pan…

The game continued after the Dortmund players returned to their half.

With Simeone's timely intervention, Atletico Madrid players were in good spirits after conceding the ball and did not panic because of discarding it.

Facing Dortmund, who had just scored a goal and was in high morale, they stabilized their defense and waited for an opportunity to fight Dortmund's counterattack. In the 39th minute, they almost broke through Dortmund's goal with a counterattack opportunity, scaring Dortmund fans and players into a cold sweat.

At that time, Atletico Madrid defender Felipe directly sent the football into the penalty area on a free kick. Adrian successfully counterattacked and headed the ball ten meters in front of the goal. Fortunately, Weidenfell's position was very good, he jumped high and took the football offside.

If Dortmund concedes the ball again, the game will be too unfavorable for Dortmund.

Dortmund also got several opportunities, but Sun Pan was not affected by the concealment of the ball and his performance was still stable and outstanding, blocking Lewandowski and Gotzedi's shots.

Although he lost one goal, he still has the advantage in the bet with Zhou Yi, because the bet was three goals. Dortmund has only scored one goal and two more goals. Sun Pan has already sweared in his heart how many times he has made, and he will never give Dortmund a chance to score again. Dortmund's goals in this game will be fixed on one.

In this way, neither of the two teams rewritten the score and ended the first half with a score of 1:1 and entered the halftime break.

※※※

In the locker room, Klopp is encouraging the team to strengthen the offensive in the second half. The situation is that Atletico Madrid will definitely shrink its defense in the second half and then fight Dortmund's counterattack.

If Dortmund doesn't go up to attack, let Atletico Madrid retreat behind. When the game time comes, Atletico Madrid will advance to the semi-finals.

Although the attack is risky, the gap behind them will be used by Atletico Madrid. But for Dortmund, there is no other way to go besides the attack.

So the problem has actually become simpler, so don’t think about anything else, just attack with all your might and strive to score more goals.

Since Atletico Madrid has scored a away goal, their away goal will be meaningless.

How to lose meaning?

Of course, it is overwhelming the opponent in the total score, and it does not give them the chance to compare the number of away goals!

At the same time, in the locker room next door, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone did make strategic adjustments to the team.

Reduce investment in offense and increase the strength of the ground in defense. Everyone must be more energetic in defense. They must never give Dortmund the opportunity to take advantage of.

Although this would make his goal besieged by Dortmund for 45 minutes, Simeone believes that Sun Pan and his defense can withstand the pressure of Dortmund. You should know how all their training content since the first round has been withstood Dortmund's fierce offensive for as long as possible. They even brought this idea to the league. When challenging Getafe away, Madrid, in addition to talking about a few counterattacks, basically let Getafe play. In the end, they successfully defended a 0:0.

Of course, Getafe's offensive strength cannot be compared with Dortmund. But at least it is a preheat, making the players familiar with the feeling of defending the game.

Simeone also warned the whole team that if there is no particularly good opportunity, don’t go up and attack easily. How to deal with the ball in the backcourt? It’s not to use accurate long passes to find the teammates in front - there will be no teammates in front - but to kick the football out with a big foot, no matter whether it’s to the frontcourt or the sideline.

The closer you are to the goal, the more decisive you need to handle the ball.

In addition, in order to curb Dortmund's attack, Zhou Yi is also a person who must be taken care of.

The goal conceded in the first half was actually because Atletico Madrid gave Zhou Yi the opportunity to take advantage of it while defending. Therefore, you must not make such a mistake again in the second half.

The defense of Zhou Yi should be 100% close to the body. You can use foul tactics, but when choosing a location for foul, you should pay attention to avoiding dangerous areas.

Finally, Simeone encouraged the players to hold on for another forty-five minutes, and perseverance means victory. After withstanding Dortmund's offensive, they will reach the semi-finals with their heads held high, which is a time to create history.
