Chapter fifty-eight two yellow

Although Mourinho asked Lampard to come on the court to pass the message, not everyone's emotions could calm down after losing the ball, especially when they were tied when they were originally leading, and the blow was even greater than when they were originally tied...

So after the game restarted, Chelsea players did not immediately show their courage and determination to face difficulties, and their calmness.

Two minutes after conceding the ball, Dortmund instigated another threatening attack. Mark used his head to push the football back in the penalty area, and Aubameyang volleyed directly outside the penalty area, and the football flew out of the baseline against the post.

Sun Pan failed to save the ball, but fortunately the football didn't shoot in the range of the goal frame.

Although there was no goal, it shocked many Chelsea fans at the scene. If they lost two goals in a short period of time, they were really afraid that the team would collapse because of this!

Fortunately, Mourinho's instructions gradually played a role.

Led by veterans like Lampard, Chelsea players gradually calmed down and realized that they were just equalized, not behind, so there is still hope to win this game.

Dortmund also had to slow down because his offense was too fast in the first half and his physical fitness was a little unable to keep up. This reduced the threat to Chelsea.

However, they have tied the score anyway, so there is no need to be so anxious. It is reasonable to slow down appropriately and give players the opportunity to breathe and rest.

So Klopp did not urge the team to continue the fast attack on the sidelines.

The next game was in a deadlock under this situation.

In the deadlock, both teams seem to have a chance, but neither of them has a particularly good chance.

In the 54th minute, Zhou Yi got the ball in the frontcourt. Because he didn't have a good pass opportunity, he decided to protect the ball and wait. As a result, Ramirez kicked him while grabbing the ball. This action brought Ramirez a yellow card.

In the 62nd minute, Xuerle shook past Schmelzer and crossed the penalty area, but Torres failed to touch the football. Two minutes later, Subotic suddenly slipped while controlling the ball in the backcourt, and a mistake gave up the ball! Xuerle cleverly got the ball and crossed the penalty area. This time Oscar's shot was saved by Weidenfeller.

In the 68th minute, Dortmund won a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, Zhou Yi, who was ambushing outside the penalty area, followed up to grab the second volley. The football just slightly missed the goal, which once again scared the Chelsea fans.

One minute later, Chelsea launched a fast attack, and Hazard's shot in the penalty area was held in his arms by Weidenfeller.

As the end of the game approached, Dortmund accelerated the pace again and wanted to end the battle in ninety minutes.

They don't want to play in the European Super Cup and play extra time.

In the 70th minute, Klopp made the first substitution in this game, and he replaced Aubameyang with Mkhitaryan.

"Of course, Mkhitaryan can play on the wing, but his favorite is definitely the middle lane... But now he is replaced by it, but Aubameyang is not replaced by Zhou Yi, which shows that in Klopp's heart, the position in the middle lane is definitely Zhou Yi and cannot be shaken..." He Ping introduced.

In the 74th minute, Dortmund got a chance to get a corner kick again. This time, they did not kick the football directly into the penalty area, but instead took a tactical corner kick - Zhou Yi went to the corner flag area but responded. After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed the football outside the penalty area and gave it to Mkhitaryan.

When Mkhitaryan, who had just been on the court, took the ball, he swung past the Oscar who rushed forward and then shot a long shot, but the football missed the goal...

In the 78th minute, Chelsea got a corner kick. Lampard's corner kick accurately found Ruiz. The Brazilian central defender headed the ball to Ivanovic. Ivanovic, who was inserted into the back point, didn't even have anyone to guard the header. Chelsea fans were ready to jump up and cheer.

As a result, the Serbian defender's rushing topped the ball to the crossbar!

"Ivanovic! This is the most threatening shot in the second half of Chelsea!! The crossbar ruthlessly rejected him!"

Ivanovic, who was watching the football hitting the crossbar, knelt on the grass in front of the door with his hands in his arms, widened his eyes and looked at the crossbar that rejected him incredibly.

He almost became a Chelsea hero!

Mourinho on the sidelines was also very excited. He thought he was going to score a goal, but he was ready to celebrate, but he saw the football blocked by the crossbar. He turned around angrily and kicked a bottle of water next to him...

Chelsea missed an opportunity that might determine the outcome of the game. Not long after, they created another opportunity that might determine the outcome of the game...

In the 85th minute, Chelsea launched an attack, but the attack was not completed. The football was interrupted by a Dortmund player during the forward pass. Sven Bend, who intercepted the ball, thought to pass the football to Shahin, while Shahin gave the football to Reus on the wing.

Reus ran along the sidelines with the ball.

Zhou Yi followed him forward in the middle. Judging from his running, it seemed that the long-distance flight back and forth in the past two days did not have a serious impact on his physical fitness...

Zhou Yi’s physical fitness is no longer his weakness.

He stepped forward in the middle to meet Reus.

Because the attack will always come back to the middle lane.

Reus also noticed Zhou Yi's forward run. When he ran into an empty space, Reus decisively passed the football sideways.

Zhou Yi adjusted his speed and prepared to catch the ball.

But just when he received the football, Ramirez, who had been chasing him, rushed up from behind.

Zhou Yi, who received the ball, was about to continue to lead the football forward, so he dribbled the football out.

When Ramirez saw that Zhou Yi was about to run, he didn't care about anything else and threw his entire center of gravity out and bumped into it.

In this way, his body pressed on Zhou Yi and knocked Zhou Yi to the ground.

After being wade by Zhou Yi, the football team fell to the feet of Chelsea defender Ruiz without waiting for Zhou Yi to come again...

Over the Eden Stadium in Prague, the harsh booing of Dortmund fans instantly sounded.

It even suppressed the referee's whistle.

However, his gestures could not be suppressed. Everyone saw the referee making a foul gesture and ran to the place where the foul was.

"Ramirez--" Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice. "This is a tactical foul! You must take the cards!"

"Ramirez knocked down Zhou Yi. In order not to let Zhou Yi continue to move forward, this is a tactical foul... But before that, he already had a yellow card!" The British commentator exclaimed. "Maybe Ramirez can calm down and stick to Zhou Yi? You must know that speed is not what Zhou Yi is good at. Even if Zhou Yi dribbles the ball, he can't run far... But now with such a collision, Dortmund's counterattack has indeed ended, but Ramirez himself is facing big trouble!"

Ramirez was still lying on the ground but did not get up, and Reus, who got the ball, had already reacted. He ran to the referee with the football in his arms, wanting to plead for Ramirez. Of course, he also knew that Ramirez had a yellow card before. If Ramirez had another yellow card, he would have to go there. One less person would be a heavy blow to Chelsea.

But he didn't know whether he could persuade the referee to "keep his men" because it seemed difficult to escape this foul.

"Ramirez... This foul. He can get out of the game. Don't say he's given a yellow card. Even if he's given a red card, I think it's perfectly OK!" As a Chinese commentator, He Ping was certainly standing on Zhou Yi's side unconditionally. "As a result, he will take both yellow cards on Zhou Yi!"

Mourinho was also very angry about the foul, but he did not express his anger to his players, but to the fourth official - he believed that Zhou Yi was suspected of a fake fall, and the fall was too exaggerated, exaggerating the terror of Ramirez's foul this time...

※※※

No matter how Chelsea players were around to persuade them, the referee was unmoved. He withdrew from the siege of Chelsea fans, waved his hand to signal them not to follow, and at the same time hooked up at Ramirez and signaled him to come over.

Ramirez got up from the ground, and he already knew his ending. When he fell to the ground with Zhou Yi, he knew what he had done and what kind of punishment he had to face.

So now he did not escape and walked up to the referee.

As expected, the referee took out a yellow card and a red card from his pocket.

He first showed him a yellow card for Ramirez's foul, and then changed it to a red card. Two yellows turned into one red, and Ramirez was sent off!

"In this way, Chelsea will be missing one person, and the situation will become very unfavorable to Chelsea. With little game time left, if Dortmund is defeated like this..."

The TV broadcast cut to Chelsea's coach's seat, and Mourinho was already pulling Faria on the sidelines and explaining something nervously.
