Chapter 220 The Chinese who are not quite like the Chinese
Bayern Munich's Champions League match has been completed, and Dortmund's Champions League match has just arrived.
Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach played hard to distinguish the league, and it was not decided until the last moment, which must have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.
But Dortmund doesn't care, they have the capital and confidence. Because they beat St. Petersburg Zenit 4:2 away in the first leg of the Champions League.
In the next second leg, even if St. Petersburg Zenit defeated Dortmund 2:0 away, Dortmund could advance to the next round of knockout with a more away goal.
The advantage of four away goals is very big.
Therefore, Klopp took a rotation in the next game against Zenit, St. Petersburg.
Several main players who played against Mönchengladbach last weekend did not enter the starting lineup, and there were even those who did not make it to the roster.
Even Zhou Yi did not start, but was just on the roster.
Just sixteen minutes into the start of the game, Hulk scored the first record for Zenit, St. Petersburg.
Zenit, who fought against the enemy, started a good start.
However, in the 38th minute, the old captain Sebastian Kyle, who was the first to replace Sven Bend in this game, received a cross from Groskreuz, and headed the ball to equalize Dortmund.
The total score between the two sides is 5:3 now, and Dortmund still leads St. Petersburg Zenit by two goals.
Both sides made no achievements in the first half.
The second half just started, and Spaletti took the lead in making substitution adjustments, but he still did not give up.
Despite the slim hope, Zenit, St. Petersburg, showed their courage.
In the 62nd minute, Spaletti substitutions again and continued to strengthen the offensive. He was already trying to make a desperate bet.
In the 73rd minute, St. Petersburg Zenit's offensive finally received a reward. Substitute forward Longden, who was replaced ten minutes ago, received a pass from Italian defender Criscito, and once again surpassed the score for St. Petersburg Zenit. The total score was 4:5, only one goal behind.
There are nearly twenty minutes to play next. If Zenit, Saint Petersburg, scores two more goals and does not allow Dortmund to score, they can complete a big reversal with a total score of 6:5 and eliminate Dortmund.
But their opponent is not a wooden stake.
After seeing St. Petersburg Zenit scored, his morale rose and he quickly made substitution adjustments.
He replaced Mkhitaryan with Zhou Yi.
After Zhou Yi appeared, he used the pass to control the rhythm and slowed down the pace of the game little by little, shattering the idea of Zenit, St. Petersburg, to attack.
The game re-entered Dortmund's pace.
Then Klopp continued to make substitutions, but the remaining two substitutions did not have much tactical meaning, and more of the reason was to delay time.
Until the end of the game, Zenit from St. Petersburg did not score even a single goal.
Of course, Dortmund didn't score either.
In the end, Dortmund lost to St. Petersburg Zenit 1:2 at home, but still eliminated his opponent with a total score of 5:4 and qualified for the quarterfinals.
Although he lost the game after the game, Klopp's mood was not affected. He believes that the team successfully advanced on the one hand, and the key players also received sufficient rest on the other hand, which was a very successful game.
※※※
A day later, the team where two other Chinese players were also appeared in the Champions League.
Chelsea faces Juventus at home, Schalke challenged Real Madrid away 04.
Among them, Schalke 04 and Real Madrid are not suspenseful, and Schalke 04 will definitely not be able to go further.
However, there is suspense in this game between Juventus and Chelsea.
Because the two sides tied 1:1 in the first leg, Chelsea scored an away goal, but Juventus also had a chance. In the second leg, Juventus played away, and they had ninety minutes to pursue away goals.
As long as they can score an away goal, they can offset the away goal from Chelsea. The remaining ones will be the total number of goals.
However, to achieve this goal, they are facing Chelsea goalkeeper Sun Pan.
Before this game, Sun Pan once again "spoken" in an interview: "Juventus wants to score a goal? Stop joking, is this looking down on me?!"
It has been almost a year in London, and Chelsea fans and London media know that Sun Pan is like this. At first, fans didn't like Sun Pan like this because his last man was Cech, who was a low-key and humble person. He played for many years at Chelsea, and everyone got used to it and thought that Chelsea goalkeeper should be like this.
As a result, a Sun Pan, who has a completely different personality from Cech, suddenly came. Of course, everyone felt uncomfortable and could not accept it.
It was not until later that after Sun Pan conquered the doubters with his performance on the court that the fans began to get used to and accepted Sun Pan. They realized that they were uncomfortable and were shy, and there were also Chinese people like Sun Pan who were "not very Chinese-like".
Unlike fans, London media liked Sun Pan very much from the beginning because Sun Pan's big mouth was so exciting that it could always provide them with a lot of hype topics.
How could the London media not like him?
This time, the same was true. As soon as Sun Pan said this, it was magnified by the London media.
All kinds of thrilling titles have come out.
This kind of thing happens to other players, and most of them need to be clarified.
But Sun Pan couldn't, he didn't do that.
Instead, he was happy to media hype this, and his name often appeared in the media, which made Sun Pan feel very accomplished.
The result of this speculation is that Sun Pan has a very bad reputation among Juventus fans. Juventus fans angrily accused Sun Pan of disrespect for his opponents, and Juventus fans also hope that the team will break through Sun Pan's goal in the game, eliminate Chelsea, and then humiliate Sun Pan.
Sun Pan's words have also caused some discussion on the Internet in China. There are also many Juventus fans in China, and of course they are also very unhappy with Sun Pan.
Originally, people with a flamboyant personality like Sun Pan were not likable. If you say such words, it would be like providing the other party with ammunition to scold him.
But in addition to these Juventus fans, other Chinese fans support Sun Pan.
They all said that although Sun Pan sometimes has a very owed mouth and often speaks big talk. But this is exactly the side of his true nature. He does not pretend and lives a real life, allowing everyone to feel the warmth and feel that this is a living person, not those false idols.
They would rather like such an imperfect and flawed person.
Of course, football will eventually be solved through football.
No matter how many controversies are, they will fall into the game.
In the game between Chelsea and Juventus, Etoo opened the first record for Chelsea just four minutes into the game, which was equivalent to pouring cold water on Juventus' head.
However, this did not extinguish Juventus' fighting spirit. On the contrary, they let go of their hands because of this goal.
A fierce attack was launched against Chelsea's goal.
At this time, Sun Pan became the protagonist of the game.
He catches high and low gears again and again to ensure that the goal is not lost.
He had three key saves just forty minutes into the game.
Although he spoke wildly before the game, which made Juventus fans unhappy. What’s even more unhappy is that he not only said crazy words on his lips, but also performed very well in actual performance, which is completely worthy of the crazy words he said...
Sun Pan's high connection and low stop helped Chelsea gain time and allowed Chelsea to recover from Juventus' bombardment.
Then in the 42nd minute, they took advantage of a corner kick opportunity and headed the ball with defender Cahill, rewriting the score to 2:0.
In the total score, Chelsea led Juventus 3:1.
There is still half left in the game.
Unless Juventus can score two goals in the next forty-five minutes, the overall situation is almost decided.
Of course, Juventus is unwilling to fail like this. They have experienced many years of troughs and finally returned to the Champions League. Why are they willing to go home after just one round of the knockout round like this?
After the second half of the game began, Juventus continued to launch a fierce attack on Chelsea's goal.
Chelsea simply launched a defensive counterattack.
Sun Pan faces more Juventus shots.
But even so, the goal guarded by Sun Pan still did not concede.
As the game was approaching the end of the game, the score was still 2:0 and there was no change.
After the save was successful, Sun Pan would continue to make provocations to his opponents, which caused Chelsea fans in the stands to cheer. Now Chelsea fans have completely accepted Sun Pan, and they like such a arrogant person from the bottom of their hearts.
In the end, Juventus was unable to score even a goal until the end of the game.
They had twelve shots in the whole game, of which nine of them were within the range of the goal frame, which was actually quite high in the quality of the offense.
But no goal was scored.
After the game, the TV broadcast immediately gave Sun Pan a close-up shot.
Sun Pan in the close-up, raising his fists to celebrate the victory.
Chapter completed!
