Chapter 240 Counterattack
Dortmund's advantage continues, or Dortmund's offensive becomes even more fierce.
In the 18th minute, Cuba got the ball near the center circle, and at the same time, he skillfully dodged the Bayern Munich player and then sent a straight pass.
Reus stepped forward and was ready to catch the ball. At the same time, Ram chased him closely and tackled the ball the moment Reus received the ball!
But he didn't shovel the ball, nor did he shovel the person. Reus took the football forward and swept over Ram. He had almost formed a one-on-one sword!
Dante can only get stuck in the inside and try not to let Reus go to the middle of the penalty area. If Reus can be forced to the side, the defense will be considered successful.
Reus, who dribbled the ball, rushed into the penalty area and shot directly.
The football flew towards the goal like a meteor, with great force and great force!
Neuer, who blocked the near corner, rushed to the side and saved Reus' shot from the bottom line!
"Royce!!" Marcel Leif screamed. "Bortmond missed the opportunity to score again! Neuer's performance was perfect!"
"It's like a man is just a barrier, and there's no way to get out!" He Ping also praised Neuer's performance. "This is the perfect interpretation of 'a good goalkeeper over half a team'!"
In the 21st minute, Dortmund launched another attack, and the football was passed to the left by Zhou Yi. Kuba caught up with the football at the position close to the bottom line, then made a little adjustment, and then passed the football into the penalty area. It was not the kind of high cross, but the inverted triangle rolling ball against the ground.
The football fell to Zhou Yi's feet who was inserted into the penalty area.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, he shook his upper body for a while, then he kicked his feet and shot! He rubbed his shot!
He was aiming at the far corner of the goal, and the football passed through the defensive player in the penalty area and headed straight to the back point!
The ball was actually shot very suddenly and terrifyingly. Everyone thought he had to open the angle horizontally, but he suddenly shot under his feet, and he was very particular about the angle, but the football was knocked to the ground and held it in his arms!
"Zhou Yi's shot!" He Ping shouted excitedly, but then sighed: "Oh! He was hugged by Neuer!"
This was Zhou Yi's first shot in this game, and he failed to break through Bayern Munich's goal.
※※※
Dortmund's consecutive fierce attacks at the beginning were all turned away by Neuer, and the goalkeeper's outstanding performance also gradually calmed down Bayern Munich, who was a little panicked by Dortmund, and restored his confidence.
In the 25th minute, Bayern Munich won a free kick near the middle circle of the frontcourt.
Ram did not directly send the football into the penalty area with a high ball, but passed the ball low to Muller in front of the penalty area. Muller moved the ball horizontally to Ribery on the left side when facing a close press on Dortmund player.
After receiving the ball, Ribery dribbled the ball down the bottom, but during the process of going down, he suddenly made a cross!
This caught the Dortmund defenders off guard.
The football flew high towards Dortmund's goal.
There, Hummels jumped up and wanted to clear the ball with a header, but he jumped in the process of retreating. He didn't jump high enough and was pressed under Mandzukic, who was jumping in the sprint!
"Mandzukic!"
As the commentator roared with a lengthening voice, Mandzukic hit the football in the small penalty area line!
The football quickly changed direction and flew towards the goal!
Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who followed the transfer from the front point to the back point, jumped up completely subconsciously and waved his right arm!
Push the football off the crossbar!
"Mandzukic! It's so dangerous! Weidenfeller made a very, very amazing save! He dragged Mandzukic's header at a close distance from the crossbar!" He Ping's heart was almost stopped just now. If Dortmund could not catch a wildly but was scored by Bayern Munich, this would be a huge blow to Dortmund... He Ping is not a Bayern Munich fan, nor is he a Dortmund fan. Logically speaking, he should be very neutral, but Dortmund has Zhou Yi, so he must be inclined to support Dortmund. He hopes that Dortmund can win, so that Zhou Yi will become the first Chinese player to win the Champions League trophy, which will make him, the Chinese commentator, honored.
"Wedenfeller! This save is completely conditioned reflex! After Neuer made consecutive high-quality saves, Wedenfeller is not willing to be lonely! This season, Dortmund can win the league championship and enter the Champions League final, and Wedenfeller's performance is also very important!"
Mandzukic himself couldn't believe that Weidenfell was able to save this header that was close to him. After landing, he pointed to the football that flew out of the baseline, and didn't know what to say...
But he earned Bayern Munich a corner kick at least.
Schweinsteiger's corner kick was directly flew to the back point of the goal. This time he jumped up and pushed the football to the point of the football. His header was slightly higher than the crossbar... Weidenfeller was unable to make a save this time, and he just turned his head and watched the football fly out of the baseline.
"Oh!!" A breath of breath sounded in the stands.
Bayern Munich fans were very excited. After being suppressed by Dortmund for more than 20 minutes in a row, Bayern Munich finally had to fight back!
"Bortmond's continuous attacks have not been able to score goals. I think this may have laid a time bomb for this game... There is a saying that wastes opportunities and will be retribution..." He Ping said with some concern.
※※※
In the next game, Dortmund is no longer the trend of the upper hand.
Instead, both sides attacked and defended each other, and the game officially entered the offensive stage.
The fans of both sides in the stands also kept cheering or booing as their teams attacked and defended, and the atmosphere on the court was very warm.
In the 28th minute, Zhou Yi launched a fast break, and in order to stop Dortmund's fast break, Dante had to pull down Royce, who was running and preparing to catch the ball. As a result, he received a yellow card because of this tactical foul.
"The game only started half an hour ago, central defender Dante received a yellow card. This is not good news for Bayern Munich... But it seems that Dante has no better way except for fouls. Dortmund's fast break just now was very sudden and successful..."
Dante blocked Dortmund's fast break at the cost of a yellow card, and the free kick Borussia Dortmund won did not pose any threat to Neuer's goal.
Next, it was Bayern Munich's turn to launch an attack. They first passed the ball continuously on the left side, but Dortmund players were unable to break the ball when they saved and grabbed it, but instead disrupted their defensive formation.
After Ribery turned around and let Gundogan, who had overtaken the ball, facing Svenbend, who had fallen to the ground and shoveled towards the football, Ribery accelerated and rushed up. His speed and explosive advantage were fully reflected at this moment. Although it seemed that he was farther away from football than Svenbend, he stabbed the football first and stabbed the football in front with one kick!
The football passed between the two central defenders of Dortmund and rolled directly to the huge empty belt on the right side. There, there was almost no Dortmund defender, and only... Robben!
"Robben!!"
Amid the excited shouts of the commentator, Robben easily received the ball, forming a single shot!
He dribbled the ball into Dortmund's penalty area, and Weidenfell also abandoned the goal and attacked!
The shouting of the whole audience reached the highest point since the start of the game. Bayern Munich fans were cheering desperately, while Dortmund fans screamed and booed.
"Robben! Robben! Robben Robben Robben..." Marcel Leif was so excited that he could only repeat Robben's name constantly, without time to say anything else.
The two soon met in the penalty area, and Robben shot!
Everyone's hearts were raised to their throats.
Robben's kick was very powerful and the football shot was shot very fast.
In front of such a fast speed, Weidenfell could hardly react.
In fact, Weidenfeller did not make a save, but the ball Robben shot was a bit straight and hit Weidenfeller's chest!
Then it bounced out of the bottom line...
"Robben Robben Robben...ah!" Marcel Leif exclaimed. "He missed this one-on-one ball!"
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands sighed, while Robben did not hold his head with his hands and looked regretful. He ran directly to the bottom line, picked up the flying football, and ran to the corner flag area with his arms, preparing to take the corner kick.
"Robben is here again!" On the Chinese Internet, the jokes about Robben have also begun.
"Undercover!"
"Damn, Robben is really a soft-footed shrimp!"
"After all, Old Man Luo is old..."
In fact, this is the third Champions League final and the fourth major competition that Robben has passed.
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 overtime, which was a great opportunity for Bayern Munich to defeat Chelsea and win the Champions League trophy at his doorstep.
But the penalty kick that Robben shot was saved by Cech. In the end, the overtime game was dragged into a cruel penalty shootout. Bayern Munich, whose morale was frustrated, finally lost to Chelsea in the penalty shootout and lost the opportunity to win the cup at home.
In the 2010 World Cup final, Robben had three chances of single shots, but failed to score, and the game was eventually dragged into overtime. In overtime, Iniesta's volleyball shot gave Spain the championship throne and made Robben miss the championship again.
This Champions League final, as Bayern Munich coach Heinkes said, is a journey of redemption, not only the redemption of Bayern Munich's entire team, but also Robben's redemption of himself.
