Chapter 221 The real turning point

When Lewandowski shot the football out, the somewhat anxious Dortmund fans couldn't wait to cheer. In their opinion, Lewandowski's kick was simply unsuspecting, so he would definitely enter!

But in less than a second, they saw Neuer fall to the ground and pounce on the side, and throw the football out!

The cheers came to an abrupt end.

"Neul-! Wonderful save! He saved the football!! Oh oh oh oh!!"

Marcel Lef shouted excitedly. He is not a supporter of Bayern Munich. He just feels that Lewandowski's goal failed to score, which makes this game more suspenseful.

"Lewandowski...Oh! He was saved!" Duan Xin sighed. "Neul performed very well!"

As a player who transferred from Ruhr derby rival Schalke 04 to national derby Bayern Munich, Neuer must have double hatred in the minds of Dortmund fans.

The football that Neuer saved was swinging and flew out of the bottom line. After Neuer rolled on the ground, he got up and waved his fists hard, and roared.

His teammates rushed up to hug him one by one, brimmed his high-fives, thanking him for his wonderful save.

When he was awarded a penalty, many Bayern Munich players were heartbroken. It can be said that Neuer's save retained the hope of Bayern Munich's championship, which also greatly boosted the team's morale. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Bayern Munich's "savior".

Bayern Munich was cheering and celebrating. Lewandowski, who lost the penalty kick, hugged his head with both hands and sighed to the sky, looking annoyed.

The other Dortmund players were in a similar mood.

In one second, they fell from the cloud of happiness to the bottom.

This is not just not as simple as not scoring a penalty kick, but also makes many Dortmund players feel depressed - if such a good opportunity is not seized, can there be a better chance in the future?

In any game, not scoring a penalty kick will be a devastating blow to the team's morale, let alone such an important game...

This can be seen from the stands where the West** Stadium was silent.

※※※

"Damn, I didn't even score a penalty! This is God doesn't want Dortmund to win the championship!"

"Is God going to destroy Dortmund?"

"I feel like Lewandowski's kick is already very beautiful. Neuer can even save it. It's so brave!"

"Heart hurts for Dortmund for a second..."

On the Chinese Internet, fans have also expressed their opinions on Lewandowski's penalty kick.

In the eyes of those who support Dortmund and Zhou Yi, not scoring this penalty is simply a disaster and may indicate a bad future...

※※※

The failure to score a penalty kick did affect the mood of Dortmund players. After the game continued, Dortmund's corner kick did not pose any threat to Bayern Munich's goal. Instead, Bayern Munich's morale was greatly boosted, and he took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal, which made Dortmund breathless.

Dortmund can only defend passively.

Dortmund fans are about to suffer a nervous heart attack.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi decided to do something to change the current situation.

Launch an offensive and burn the opponent's half-time?

This is of course the best way, but it is not easy to implement it perfectly.

At the beginning, when the possession of the ball fell to Dortmund, Zhou Yi also launched a fast attack, but the quality was quite poor. The players were affected by the penalty kicks, their condition was unstable, they played too impatiently, and made frequent mistakes. At this time, the fast attack was just to quickly hand over the football to Bayern Munich...

The most realistic approach may be to deliberately slow down the speed and rhythm when football is under one's feet, and use slowness to deal with Bayern Munich's current fastness, so-called "using softness to overcome hardness."

So when the football fell to Zhou Yi's feet, he did not rush to pass the football forward, but turned around and kicked a cross-bow. After passing the ball, he quickly ran to the next place and shouted: "Transfer the ball to me!"

He was afraid that his teammate would kick the football in front with a big foot.

He could understand some of his teammates' thoughts, wanting to keep the football away from his penalty area as much as possible, but this would be meaningless except for handing over the ball to the opponent.

It’s better to keep the football under your feet and stabilize the situation and emotions again.

Sven Bend saw that Zhou Yi was so eager to ask for the ball, so he passed the football to Zhou Yi again.

Zhou Yi made a move to catch the ball, and Gustavo rushed up to steal him.

Zhou Yi raised his feet and made the move to catch the ball, but he did not really catch the ball, but let the football roll over in front of him, and then he turned around to chase the ball.

At this time, Gustavo's foot swept over. Originally, Gustavo was planning to intercept the ball, but Zhou Yi let the ball pass by, and he swept it empty... It was not entirely swept, because his foot swept to Zhou Yi's support foot!

Zhou Yi was unable to turn around, but was directly swept to the ground by Gustavo! He fell to the ground with a spin, turned around twice, and covered the heel of his left foot.

The whistle of referee Gagelmann sounded in a huge boo.

"Foof! Gustavo was a very bad foul!" Duan Xin shouted angrily. The end of the league is getting closer and closer to the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers. At this time, every time Zhou Yi fell to the ground, it will make Chinese fans frightened and heartbroken.

"Zhou Yi was once kicked by Khedira in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, which made Ren worry very much at the time, but fortunately there was no big problem and it did not affect his next game. Now he was swept by Gustavo again..." Marcel Leif also frowned. When Goze was injured, if Zhou Yi was injured again, Dortmund might have collapsed across the board. It was not only a league champion, but also a chance to lose the Champions League champion!

※※※

Gustavo, who knew he was foul, hurried to pick Zhou Yi. On the one hand, he wanted to show his friendship, and on the other hand, he wanted Zhou Yi to stand up quickly and not continue to lie on the ground, as if he was kicked very hard.

Of course, Gustavo hopes that the referee can consider it as appropriate when making a penalty.

Gagelman ran over and groped in his chest pocket.

It seems like I'm going to take out the cards.

This is normal. If you don't play this foul, I'm afraid that Dortmund fans will never agree to it.

Gustavo continued to pull Zhou Yi, wanting to pull Zhou Yi up.

Sven Bend, who was next to him, pushed him away, and Zhou Yi was lying on the ground with his heel covering his face. Now that he wanted to stand up, how could such a thing happen?

Of course he has to protect his players.

Sven Bend's pushing movement aroused the emotions of Bayern Munich players, and they quickly surrounded them.

Of course, Dortmund players could not let their teammates suffer losses. They immediately stood on Sven Bend's side and argued with Bayern Munich players.

The referee Gagelman was going to take out the cards, but when he saw this, he could only whistle and signal the players on both sides to calm down.

At the same time, it was not peaceful before the coaches on both sides.

Bayern Munich's sports director Madias Summer yelled, believing Sven Bend was deliberately provoking.

Klopp stood up and spoke out for his players: "Let's see what your people have done first!"

The two men glared at each other across the fourth referee in the middle.

※※※

In the chaos, Zhou Yi stood up from the ground 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 current situation is different from those who play against Real Madrid.

In the last game, Dortmund needed to delay time, so of course Zhou Yi could walk on the ground as long as he could.

In this game, what Dortmund lacks the most is time. He must get up from the ground as soon as possible and race against time.

After getting up, he moved his ankles, which hurt a little, but it wasn't unbearable.

Gustavo's foot just now was sweeping hard, but fortunately he didn't have the shoe nails, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up.

※※※

The players on both sides who struggled to line up the conflict, and the referee Gagelman called Gustavo alone.

Gustavo, who came over, was still chattering and defending himself: "I went to rush the ball, but who knew he actually missed the football..."

Gagelman shook his head, reached into his pocket, and then took out a...red card!

"Red card! Gustavo was sent off directly!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.

"It's not too much to give a red card after kicking someone behind the scenes!" Duan Xin applauded the referee Gagelman's penalty.

There was cheers and applause from the West* Stadium. Dortmund fans all thought the referee's decision was fair. But if this was at the Allianz Stadium, there would probably be booing everywhere.

In fact, the commentator of the Munich Radio station felt that Gagelman's penalty was too severe: "Gustavo was definitely not in his subjective attempt to play Zhou Yi, he just made a mistake in prediction... It was already very strict to give a yellow card, and it was too much to directly give a red card!"

Gustavo's red card also made Bayern Munich players even more excited, especially Gustavo himself. When he saw that he was a red card, he immediately changed his face and tried to rush towards the referee Gagelman, but he was stopped by his teammates. Through his teammates, he shouted at Gagelman: "This shouldn't be a red card! Your penalty is too heavy!"

Gagelman did not explain to him, but pointed to the sidelines and signaled him to go down quickly.

In the end, Gustavo reluctantly got off the field under the push of his teammates, otherwise he would have wanted to keep consuming it.

In that case, he may be punished additionally after the game.

※※※

While Summer and Klopp were confronting each other, Heinx was thinking about how to play in the next game.

Bayern Munich, who is one less, is still making a big fuss on the wing like before, and is fighting Dortmund?

In this case, I'm afraid I'll die faster.

Fortunately, the score is a draw now, not a backward one, so Bayern Munich can choose to regain defense and strive to defend this draw. If you cannot win, a draw will be beneficial to Bayern Munich.

Thinking of this, Heinx decided to make corresponding adjustments.

When I was awarded a penalty, many people must have thought that penalty would become the turning point of the game.
