Champion’s Heart

When Gotze received the ball, there were no Dortmund players around him. He took two steps forward, and AC Milan players immediately rushed toward him.

Gotze passed the football to Mark Wagner who dropped back to meet him.

When Mark Wagner received the ball, Zhou Yi had already ran up.

So Mark, who had his back to the attacking direction, did not turn around and force a breakthrough. Instead, he passed the football back to Zhou Yi.

Dortmund's counterattack was very fast, and it had already passed the center circle between three passes and two downs. At this time, AC Milan's players were still rushing back to defend and organize the defense line.

Flamini pounced on Zhouyi, hoping to end Dortmund's counterattack here.

Is it possible for Zhou Yi to let him get his wish?

He had already spotted the space before catching the ball. Now all he has to do is simple, just pass the football in that direction!

So he raised his right leg and sent a through ball forward!

As soon as the football was passed out, he jumped up and took advantage of the opportunity to avoid Flamini's tackle!

Many people watching this scene were sweating for Zhou Yi in front of the TV.

If Zhou Yi had passed the football one second later, Flamini would have tackled him!

It's so dangerous!! He Ping also exclaimed.

Li Cuiyun in front of the TV bit her lip tightly and almost screamed.

But the husband next to me patted his thigh excitedly: Okay!

What's good?

Li Cuiyun has no time to talk to her husband, although she has watched many of her son's games with her husband. But sometimes she still can't understand the psychology of some fans represented by her husband...

※※※

Zhou Yi escaped Flamini's tackle. This is not the focus of this offense. The focus is where did the football passed by Zhou Yi go?

Everyone's eyes turned to the front as the TV camera shot, and then they saw Lewandowski receiving the football in a huge space!

At this time, he was less than five meters away from the penalty area.

In front of him, there is only AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati!

AC Milan center back Nesta, who is closest to him, is also ten meters away!

This is a perfect opportunity!

Lewandowski!!

As Marcel Leif shouted excitedly, the Polish forward waded the football into the penalty area!

In the 67th minute, now Lewandowski has another chance to end the suspense of the game!

AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati abandoned the goal and rushed towards Lewandowski.

Nesta also turned and pounced on the Pole.

The three people seemed to be converging at a certain point in the penalty area.

But Lewandowski didn't want to do that.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, he suddenly took a shot!

Not a powerful volley. But a lob!

The football passed over the head of the attacking goalkeeper Abbiati, and fell into AC Milan's goal under Nesta's gaze!

1:0!! Lewandowski! Lewandowski!!

Huge cheers rang out over the West**** Stadium.

Live broadcaster Norbit Dicker was shouting: The goal has been scored! We are leading AC Milan at home, with a total score of 2:0! The goalkeeper is Robert——

Lewandowski!! The 80,000 fans at the scene shouted in unison, shouting out the name of the Polish striker with great momentum.

After scoring, Lewandowski waved his arms excitedly to meet the cheers of the fans.

Then Zhou Yi, Gotze, Mark and other teammates ran up to celebrate the goal with him.

Behind the running Dortmund players. He is the AC Milan player who was hit hard.

Their most important task in this game is to score goals, and their second most important task is not to concede a goal.

As a result, both tasks have not been completed now...

They still have time to complete the first mission, but the second mission is a complete failure.

The current situation is very unfavorable for AC Milan.

Not only must they ensure not to concede any more goals in the next game, but they must also score two more goals.

As long as they can equalize the total score, they can eliminate Dortmund with the advantage of away goals.

But can they really score two goals in the last twenty minutes to equalize the total score?

Ibrahimovic, who made bold remarks before the game, still did not perform convincingly in this game.

He seems to be really a soft-footed shrimp in the knockout rounds, and he doesn't know how to play once he reaches the knockout rounds.

※※※

After the goal, Dortmund's fighting spirit was high, even though they were still beaten by AC Milan. But everyone has a good idea and knows how to play. And won't panic.

The difference in mental outlook directly leads to the difference in the players' performance in the game.

In the last twenty minutes or so, AC Milan players became more and more impatient, and they were getting closer and closer to being eliminated.

Dortmund, on the other hand, can safely shrink its defense and counterattack. Even if the counterattack cannot threaten AC Milan's goal, it can still consume some time.

As the Dortmund fans sang, the game time passed minute by minute.

Although Allegri used up all the substitutions. It still failed to reverse the situation and change the outcome.

When the referee De Brick blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of the game was fixed at 1:0.

The game is over! 1:0! Dortmund eliminated AC Milan with a total score of 2:0 and entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

It's my first time participating in the Champions League after seven years. I didn't expect to be able to break into the quarterfinals. It's really unexpected. This young team has fully explained to us what it means to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! He Ping also said Very happy, this means that he can continue to commentate on the Champions League games with Zhou Yi participating.

As a commentator in Taiwan who specializes in commentating on the Champions League and La Liga, he can only rely on the Champions League to comment on Zhouyi's games, because Duan Xin is in charge of the Bundesliga games, and the national team games belong to Liu Hong's territory.

So the further Dortmund goes in the Champions League, the more opportunities he will have to see Zhou Yi.

※※※

The Dortmund players who eliminated AC Milan were extremely excited and hugged and celebrated on the court. Zhou Yi was hugged the most because he was the major contributor to the victory in this game. When the team was in a passive situation in the first half, it was his passing that stabilized the situation for Dortmund, making it less easy for the opponent to steal the ball and counterattack.

In the second half, he instigated another quick counterattack, and finally assisted Lewandowski to score the only goal of the game.

Mark hugged Zhou Yi and shouted happily in his ear: Qualfinals! Quarterfinals! We are the top eight of the Champions League!

Zhou Yi patted his back hard: Look how proud you are, you are only in the top eight!

Hehe! I didn't even dare to think about being in the top 16 before! Mark giggled.

I told you, you always have to have dreams. What if they come true?

Yes, yes! Mark nodded repeatedly.

What dream? Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Gotze came up and asked curiously.

It's about the dream of the Champions League, Mario. Mark said with a happy smile.

Oh? What is your Champions League dream, Mark? Gotze looked at Mark and asked.

Hehe... It's my dream to participate in the Champions League... Mark scratched his head and smiled honestly.

Promise! Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at him.

What about you, Zhou Yi? Gece asked him instead.

Of course it's the championship! Champion of the Champions League! Zhou Yi said confidently. Any dream that doesn't target the championship is just a hooligan!

At the post-match press conference, Klopp could not hide his pride at advancing to the quarterfinals: When we were placed in the same group as the defending champions, many people thought that our best result was to finish third in the group, and then To go to the Europa League. But now, we are in the quarterfinals of the Champions League! I know my team can do it, I never doubted their ability!

He really vented all his resentment after the results of the group drawing came out.

However, when a reporter asked him how far he thought the team could go in the Champions League this season, he calmed down a little: I don't know. I just know that we will work hard to move forward, no matter who the opponent is in front of us.

Allegri had nothing to say about AC Milan being eliminated in the first round of the knockout rounds.

※※※

Maybe it was the elimination of AC Milan and the quarter-finals of the Champions League that made the players too excited, and their minds were filled with questions about who they would face in the Champions League and how far they could go in the Champions League this season, so In the league at the weekend, when Dortmund challenged Hoffenheim away from home, the players seemed a little distracted.

And Klopp also made a certain degree of rotation in this game.

So in the end Dortmund lost to Hoffenheim 0:1 away from home.

Bayer Leverkusen defeated Mainz 1:0 away from home, and Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg 6:0. The pursuers looked aggressive and were unwilling to let Dortmund go easily.

Especially Bayern Munich's hearty 6-0 victory at home seemed to indicate that they had gotten rid of the shadow of the last round of league defeat to Dortmund at home. Van Gaal's coaching position is still stable.

However, in the Champions League match in midweek, Bayern Munich lost 2:3 at home to Inter Milan!

After a small victory over Inter Milan 1:0 in the first round, the total score was tied by Inter Milan. Inter Milan also relied on the absolute advantage of away goals to eliminate last season's Champions League runner-up.

The defeat of this game changed Van Gaal's fate.

Just after this game, Bayern Munich officially announced that they will terminate the coaching contract with Louis van Gaal after the end of the season. In other words, Van Gaal will leave Bayern Munich after coaching this season... (To be continued.)
