Champion’s Heart

? The game continues to be in such a stalemate, and time is passing by in this stalemate.

Seeing that the game has reached the 65th minute, there are still 25 minutes before the end of the game. It can be said that the time left for Atletico Madrid is getting less and less. As a result, the score on the scoreboard seems to be broken. , motionless.

Simeone stood on the sidelines, paying very anxious attention to the situation on the court, and at the same time kept urging the players to press up, press up, and press up again.

At this time, let alone Simeone, what all Atletico Madrid fans have to consider is not how many goals they can win, but whether they can win...

From before the game Atletico Madrid expected to get more goal difference, to now just one goal is enough. Atletico Madrid's goal has dropped again and again.

But even if it is reduced to the minimum, it is very difficult to achieve.

Because before coming to Madrid, Dortmund had unified their thinking for this game and prepared for half a week, that is, defense.

Defensively, Dortmund worked very hard. The offensive characteristics of Atletico Madrid have also been thoroughly studied, so they can be targeted when defending.

That's why they were able to withstand the home team's indiscriminate bombardment for 65 minutes in the away game.

Of course, Zhou Yi is also indispensable for this, because he lowered the whole team to pass and control the ball to delay time.

In short, when the game was getting closer and closer to the end, Atletico Madrid finally couldn't sit still. Simeone began to make substitutions and adjustments, and the players he replaced were all offensive players. This was a gamble.

If we don't win at home, it will be even harder to win on the road.

With twenty minutes left before the end of the game, Atletico Madrid finally pressed forward across the board.

The pressure across the board has indeed increased Dortmund's defensive pressure, but in Zhou Yi's eyes, this also means more opportunities.

In his opinion, after Atletico Madrid pressed forward across the board, the space in their defense could be used to race...

※※※

In the 73rd minute, Atletico Madrid formed a siege on Dortmund in the frontcourt. They shot three times in two minutes, and the ball did not go out of bounds to form a dead ball. The game was always in progress, which intensified the tension.

During this time, Dortmund fans feel like they are sitting on a ship on a rough sea.

The huge waves overwhelming the sky were pressing down from above, and could smash this poor ship to pieces at any time.

However, after Atletico Madrid's last shot was saved by Weidenfeller, the football did not return to the feet of the Atletico Madrid players, but fell to the Dortmund players.

Subotic directly used his head to push the football out of the penalty area.

Then Sven Bender continued to push the football forward with his head.

After two consecutive alley-oops, football came to Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi used his chest to remove the flying football, he did not choose to stop the ball. Instead, he raised his foot and kicked the football still in the air directly to the wing, where Gotze retreated to participate in the defense.

After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not stay where he was, but turned around and ran forward.

Gotze quickly passed the football back. Before catching the ball, Zhou Yi did not look at the football or the situation around him, but looked up and observed the front.

When the football rolled in front of him, he did not stop the ball or adjust, but directly kicked the ball with his right foot towards the still rolling football. The outer instep of his right foot accurately hit the left side of the football and flew into the air. The soccer ball drew a very obvious arc in the air and turned to the right side of the field.

Royce is driving forward at high speed!

When Atletico Madrid players were all attacking, the defense was empty, and Zhou Yi's pass was very decisive and sudden, giving Atletico Madrid's defense no time to react, so when Royce came forward When he intervened, there was no Atletico Madrid player in front of him!

In other words, as long as he can win the ball, it is likely to be a one-on-one goal directly facing goalkeeper Sun Pan!

Zhou Yi - beautiful transfer! He Ping shouted excitedly. In previous games, Zhou Yi always passed the ball across the ball or back. There were too few such precise and dramatic passes. Everyone stays up late waiting in front of the TV, don't they just want to see such a pass?

Marcel Leif was excited about the prospect of this goal: Good goal! Fatal long diagonal pass! This is the opportunity Dortmund has been waiting for! Single goal! Single goal!! If this goal is scored, Dortmund will not only win from Atletico Madrid takes away an away goal and a victory at home, so the probability of qualifying will be greatly increased.

As the football flew through the air, loud boos erupted above the Calderon.

Atletico Madrid fans are also aware of the danger coming. The football in the air was like the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads, descending little by little!

While Royce ran forward, he did not forget to look back to see the flight path of the football.

Zhou Yi's kick added a strong spin to the football, and it was not easy to stop the ball.

If someone was close to him, Royce was really not sure he could stop the ball obediently.

But now he has no such troubles, because there is not a single Atletico Madrid player within ten meters around him!

This is a genuine single-handed ball!

He can stop the ball calmly, just like receiving Zhou Yi's pass in training.

He adjusted his steps, raised his right leg, and hooked his ankle inward. When the flying football hit the inside of his foot, his right leg naturally opened outward to act as a buffer, and at the same time he pushed his right foot forward. , sending the football forward.

Keep the football from stopping directly at his feet, which would make it difficult for him to control the ball while running at high speed.

As expected, the football obediently jumped onto the turf in front of him. Although it was still bouncing, Royce could no longer be bothered by such a level of bouncing. Royce, who had slowed down slightly due to stopping the ball, immediately accelerated, caught up with the football, and headed towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

At this time, Atletico Madrid's center back Godin was still running desperately into the penalty area - he no longer cared about chasing Royce. After all, it was closer to go back to the penalty area in a straight line than to chase Royce diagonally.

Just when Royce stopped the football, Sun Pan, who was in front of the goal, had decisively abandoned the goal and attacked. He accelerated towards Royce, completely ignoring the space behind him.

If Royce looks up at this time, he can see the space behind Sun Pan, and then he can choose to lob.

But unfortunately, Royce did not raise his head. All his attention was on the football at his feet. When he adjusted the football and observed again, Sun Pan was already close at hand!

As soon as Royce entered the penalty area, Sun Pan pounced on him. Without giving Royce any time to make any other moves, Sun Pan slid over and reached out to push aside the football at Royce's feet!

Royce didn't expect Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper to be so quick. Facing the rushing Sun Pan, his brain couldn't think about what to do next. He flicked the ball reflexively at his feet, but he didn't kick the ball. , but mentioned it on Sun Pan’s arm. Sun Pan had already taken the football away!

But how did Royce know so clearly? He kicked Sun Pan's arm. When he lost his balance and fell to the ground, he raised his hands and shouted, hoping to attract the referee's attention.

This is a penalty kick!

As soon as he entered the penalty area, he was tripped to the ground by the opponent's goalkeeper. Isn't this a penalty kick? This is absolutely true!

He fell to the ground without forgetting to look back at the referee.

But he didn't hear any whistles, maybe because the boos were too loud?

Next to him, Sun Pan had climbed up from the ground and ran out again as if he was stuck to the turf. Royce didn't notice Sun Pan's movements. He was currently waiting for the referee's whistle.

Since the boos are too loud and you can't hear the whistle, look back.

Royce fell to the ground and turned over, just in time to see the referee without looking back.

The referee actually... had no expression at all!

Not a penalty? !

He was a little shocked - how could this be possible? ! He obviously pulled me down...

Royce went to see Sun Pan again and found that Sun Pan had caught up with the football, and then kicked the football directly to the center back Godin who was returning to defense.

After finishing all this, Sun Pan still had time to come back to the confused Royce and growled at him: Stop pretending, I touched the ball first!

Above the Calderon Stadium, the harsh boos had turned into deafening cheers at this moment, and all Atletico Madrid fans were chanting Sun Pan's name.

In such an environment, the Spanish commentator had to desperately raise his voice so as not to be drowned out by the cheers: Sun Pan! He made a very, very, very crucial save! He successfully prevented Dortmund's counterattack ! The importance of this save is no less than a goal! If Atletico Madrid can win at home in the end, then they should thank Sun Pan for this save! If they end up with a draw, then they I still have to thank Sun Pan for this save, at least he didn’t let them fail because of this conceding goal!”

Marcel Leif held his head in his hands in the studio: Incredible, incredible... Sun Pan attacked too fast, he was like a cheetah, pounced on his food... Royce's wrong estimation The distance between him and Sun Pan, as well as Sun Pan's speed. There is no problem with this ball, it is indeed not a penalty kick, Sun Pan's save is very clean! It's a pity that Dortmund missed this game so far, their best scoring opportunities, I wonder if this will cause any trouble for Dortmund in the second round... (~^~)
