Champion’s Heart

Although Robben's single shot did not score, it greatly boosted Bayern Munich's morale, so Bayern Munich became more active in the attack, hoping to take the lead.

But Dortmund is not someone to be trifled with.

In the 35th minute, Bayern Munich wanted to organize an offensive from the backcourt.

When Alaba got the ball in the backcourt, he dribbled the ball forward. When he was approaching the midline, he encountered a block from Dortmund player Reus. He and Ribery on the wing made a wall-to-wall cooperation, intending to break through. Royce's defense.

However, Ribery passed the ball back to him with a little force. Alaba did not stop it and stopped the football several meters in front of him, which happened to be where Royce was!

Alaba was shocked and rushed towards Royce, trying to poke the football away first, but Royce was faster than him and poked the football directly in front, making Alaba miss!

The person who received the pass from Royce was Zhou Yi, who was in the ribs of the frontcourt. He passed the football, turned around, dribbled the ball forward, and beat Bayern Munich's counterattack!

Although the number of players in Dortmund's frontcourt is not as good as that of Dortmund, Zhou Yi is very calm. He did not rush to pass the ball, but waited for opportunities when dribbling the ball.

Sure enough, due to his sudden attack with the ball, he immediately attracted four Bayern Munich players, and only one Bayern Munich center back Boateng was trailing behind.

Lewandowski made a diagonal move and ran in front of Boateng. Zhou Yi saw this opportunity and immediately sent the football under his feet out. The football broke out of the encirclement and rolled into the penalty area. In the air!

Lewandowski accelerated around Boateng, received the ball, and then took another pass!

With this step, Boateng was squeezed behind him!

Lewandowski's single sword!

But Lewandowski took a big step. When he was chasing the football, Neuer also decisively abandoned the goal and slid out. This attack method, although giving up the center of gravity, maximized the impact. This greatly expanded the defensive area.

When Lewandowski caught up with the ball, it was already difficult to make other shooting moves. He could only take a stab first, and then pinned all his hopes of scoring on Neuer's attack. There is still room for the football to pass through the air...

But there was no space. After the ball was kicked by Lewandowski,

It directly hit the attacking Neuer's body and then bounced back.

It fell right at the feet of full-back Alaba who was returning to defense.

Alaba quickly turned around and passed the football to the front, and then he breathed a sigh of relief - it was so close just now. It was his mistake. If it resulted in a goal, he would be the one who conceded the ball!

Fortunately, Neuer is still as reassuring as ever.

It's Neuer again!

Neuer struck out in time to keep the goal!

Zhouyi has created opportunities for his teammates several times, but they just can't break the goal guarded by Neuer!

Lewandowski spread his hands, looking helpless.

Zhou Yi also shook his head slightly. After the game started, Dortmund clearly had the upper hand. There were so many excellent opportunities that even if his teammates could catch one, they would be ahead. The result was that he didn't score a single goal...

But is this because his teammates didn’t play well enough?

Zhou Yi doesn't see it that way.

It seems that Neuer is in really good condition today...

This is the situation that Zhou Yi is most worried about in the virtual game - his side has the upper hand, but the opponent's goalkeeper seems to be cheating. No matter how you bomb indiscriminately, he can always resolve the crisis time and time again. Then the morale of our side was slowly depleted in repeated unsuccessful attacks, and finally the opponent used a sneak attack to take away the victory...

Goalkeeper cheating is the most unsolvable problem. Even Zhou Yi himself can't solve this problem. Just like when Dortmund challenged Atletico Madrid in an away game, they faced Sun Pan who failed. No matter how they attacked, they could not open Atletico Madrid's goal, and in the end they could only leave Madrid with a score of 0:0. Then they had to fight Atletico Madrid at their home court. If it hadn't been for the goal at the end, the Dortmund team might have been eliminated in the quarterfinals. How could they have reached the Champions League final?

He is now very worried that such a fierce offensive from the Dortmund team will bring out Neuer's condition. That would be bad.

But it is obviously impossible not to shoot because of this.

※※※

Dortmund's attack threatened Bayern Munich's goal, and Bayern Munich quickly responded.

Bastian Schweinsteiger suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and the football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal along with the turf. Weidenfeller seemed to have slid out on the turf, and he used his fingertips to push the football out of the baseline... …

In the subsequent corner kick, Thomas Muller's header missed the far post.

In the 41st minute, Dortmund launched an attack from the right wing. After Piszczek made a collision with Zhou Yi on the wing, he reached the 30-meter area. Then he sent a through ball and moved to Royce in the ribs.

Royce accelerated to chase the ball. Inside him, Harvey Martinez was also chasing desperately, trying not to be completely thrown away by Royce.

His efforts paid off. Since he did not completely get rid of the defense, Royce had no choice but to force a shot from a small angle after catching up with the football!

The ball ended up wide of the side netting.

Royce, who was sitting on the ground, shook his head at the result, while Klopp on the sidelines clapped his hands hard to encourage his players.

Attacking one goal after another without scoring can indeed easily lead to a loss of morale.

The players are not fools. They know that they have failed to seize so many opportunities, and they will also worry about whether the opponent will threaten their own goal and cause the ball to be conceded after they get a chance to breathe.

Their worries are definitely not unfounded.

One minute later, in the 43rd minute, Bayern Munich's center back Dante picked up the ball in the backcourt. He looked up and glanced in front. Instead of using a short pass to advance, he directly made a long pass. The football flew through the air across almost the entire stadium, all the way to the edge of Dortmund's penalty area!

The football was like a cruise missile, accurately finding Robben who was sprinting at the front!

Of course, Robben is not unmarked. Next to him is Hummels who is retreating.

It's just that compared to Robben who is running in the direction of attack, Hummels is retreating and defending at the same time. This is his disadvantage.

So when he jumped up to fight for the top, he didn't hit the football!

He's cheated!

However, Robben did not stop the ball, because Hummels interfered with him, and the ball was directly carried on his shoulder and bounced back.

The ball bounced back and accidentally hit the back of Hummels who had just landed. It flew back again and landed in front of Robben!

God-given opportunity!

Bayern Munich fans in the stands cheered.

Robben stopped suddenly, turned around, swung his foot and shot!

He didn't see the situation in front of him at all, but if he looked again at this time, it would be too late!

So he didn't see that Weidenfeller had actually rushed to him, very close at hand!

With such a close shot, even if Weidenfeller reacted quickly, it would be difficult for him to make any save action. At this time, his role in blocking the angle in advance was reflected - it was so close, he didn't need to at all. No matter what movement he makes, just relying on his body is enough to form a wall.

The football hit Weidenfeller directly on the chin and bounced back!

Ah——! Marcel Leif exclaimed again, explaining this game. He was always so startled, which was rarely seen in previous games...

The football that bounced back was facing downwards. It hit the ground and bounced up again, but it had not yet left the penalty area.

Robben's reaction was quick enough. He turned around and wanted to get the football back.

At this time, Subotic, who had returned to defense, squeezed Robben behind with his physical advantage, and then took the lead and kicked the football directly. This was regarded as relieving the crisis in front of Dortmund's goal just now...

Robben--! Marcel Leif sighed after he regained his composure. He has already missed two single-shot opportunities in this game!

Some Bayern Munich fans have some bad thoughts in their minds.

Three years ago in the World Cup final in South Africa, the Netherlands faced Spain, and Robben scored two solo goals in regular time.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Sneijder sent a through ball, and Robben broke into the penalty area with a single-handed ball. Facing the attacking Spanish goalkeeper Casillas alone, this was the best shot in the entire Dutch game. Chance.

At that time, Robben tried to hit the lower left corner of the goal, but Casillas had already pounced in the completely opposite direction.

But just like that, the football was rubbed out of the bottom line by Casillas, who had already regained his balance!

Robben couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.

In the 82nd minute, he also got a good one-on-one opportunity, but after he broke into the penalty area, he failed to control the football, allowing Casillas to grab the football directly in his arms.

In the end, the Netherlands lost to Spain in a penalty shootout. After losing the championship, Robben's wasted single goal in the 62nd minute made many people think that Robben was the culprit for the Netherlands' loss of the championship.

Now watching Robben miss two excellent opportunities in this Champions League final, one cannot but think of the World Cup final three years ago.
