Champion’s Heart

Red card?!

He Ping's voice trembled when he saw the color of the sign in the referee's hand. ． Fastest update: What does the house leaks only when it rains continuously? That’s what it’s called! Of course... according to the rules, Weidenfeller is the last defender. As long as Higuain can break through him, he can face the empty goal. He knocked Higuain down. This is a very bad foul and it can indeed be punished. A red card... But the spirit of the rules is to ensure the smooth running of the football game. It is enough to award Naples a penalty kick. Is this red card a bit... too heavy? By then, it will be two goals behind and one less. How will Dortmund face the next game? Will the enjoyment and excitement of this game be greatly reduced? I think the referee who can enforce the Champions League game cannot directly copy the rules of simple machines...

He Ping no longer cared about being neutral and fair at this time. He raised his own doubts, but not all his words were in favor of Dortmund.

Fortunately, Naples doesn't have many supporters in China, otherwise he would definitely be drowned in the fans' saliva after the game.

German commentator Marcel Leif was even more excited.

How could this be a red card?! How could this be a red card?! Such a penalty is too harsh! Since a penalty kick was given, at most a yellow card should be enough! He issued a series of questions angrily. This penalty is definitely debatable! It will definitely cause controversy among all parties after the game!

In fact, there is no need to wait until after the game, there is a lot of controversy now.

Seeing the referee showing Weidenfeller a red card, Klopp was furious on the sidelines. He rushed to the fourth official and roared: Such a penalty! Unacceptable! The red card is too harsh! This shouldn't be the case. Red card! And we haven’t protested Higuain’s diving yet!”

As the head coach of Dortmund, he naturally has to protect Dortmund's interests. Regardless of whether Higuain's ball was a flop or not, he should be labeled a flop first, hoping to put pressure on the referee team.

But in fact, once the referee has made a penalty, it is difficult to change it.

Therefore, this penalty is irreversible.

No matter how angry and unwilling Dortmund is, it cannot change the result that Weidenfeller will be sent off.

The referee stood at the penalty spot, holding the red card firmly in his hand and pointing to the outside of the court with his other hand. He maintained this posture for more than ten seconds.

Weidenfeller begged at first, then became angry, and then he was quickly pulled away by his teammates. If he didn't pull him away, they were afraid that he would pounce on the referee and beat the referee. In that case, it would not be as simple as being sent off with a red card. I'm sure Additional penalties will be imposed, and it is possible that he may not even be able to play in the Champions League for a season...

Weidenfeller, who was pulled away, could only accept the result helplessly.

Regardless of whether he meant to knock down Higuain or not, the fact is that he did hit Higuain's ankle, causing Higuain to fall to the ground.

Therefore, there is no problem with the penalty kick awarded by the referee. As for the red card... that is indeed debatable, but that is another matter.

Weidenfeller finally left the court sadly. When he walked off the court, the St. Paul Stadium was filled with cheers.

The Italian commentator said: This is a heavy blow to the defending champion! They are about to lose the second goal, and there is one less person! Although it was a heavy blow, he seemed to be worried about Dortmund. , but the obedient tone didn’t mean anything like that.

Regardless of whether Naples will be supported by other Italian fans at home, it is now a Champions League game. Any Italian team represents the honor and interests of Italian football. As long as a normal person is a normal person, he should hope that the Italian team will win in the Champions League. The performance in the competition will get better and better, so that the Italian team will gain more benefits in the allocation of Champions League places.

Now only the top three teams in Serie A can participate in the Champions League next season, and the third place will have to start from the qualifying rounds.

The Bundesliga has four quotas, which is of course inseparable from the outstanding performance of the Bundesliga teams in the Champions League over the years, especially the two teams Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

I think back then, when Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus were all regulars in the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals, Serie A also had four Champions League places... But now the little World Cup has long been divided. In the Champions League, This is naturally related to the unsatisfactory performance of the Italian team.

Now that Naples has been assigned to the group of death again, the Italian commentator naturally hopes that they can break out of this group and strive for more Champions League points for the Italian team.

Dortmund quickly made substitutions.

Substitute goalkeeper Langerak didn't even have time to warm up, so he rushed into battle, and the unlucky guy he replaced was Kuba.

So Klopp's plan to strengthen the attack by adding an attacking player at halftime came to nothing.

With Kuba off the field, Dortmund not only has one less player in the total number of players, but also does not have an advantage in the number of midfielders.

But Klopp's arrangements were disrupted just at the beginning of the second half, so his anger is completely understandable.

※※※

Langerak, who had just been substituted, failed to become the hero who saved the team. When facing Insigne's penalty kick, he made a wrong judgment and the football flew into the net without any suspense.

2:0! Napoli leads Dortmund by two goals! the Italian referee shouted excitedly.

In response to this situation and result, German commentator Marcel Leif could only say: The situation is unfavorable, the situation is really unfavorable...

He Ping is still struggling with the referee's decision: That red card seems to change the way the rest of the game will go... He believes that the red card prevented Dortmund from exerting their offensive strength. The rest of the game will definitely be It won't look good.

Maybe Dortmund will shrink its defense and hope to lose fewer goals. This is a group stage, and it is a group of death. In the end, it is inevitable that there will be a need to compare small points and compare the goal difference between each other. If Dortmund loses too badly in the away game, it will not be good. Maybe it will become The last straw that broke their hearts...

While the Naples players were celebrating the goal, some Dortmund players approached the referee and tried to appeal to him about Weidenfeller's red card.

But what's the use of these now? It’s more like an emotional outlet.

Two goals behind, one man missing, and on the road again, Dortmund's morale had simply hit rock bottom.

Zhou Yi did not join the team that besieged the referee. He felt that there were more important things than besieging the referee and demanding justice.

Even after simulating dozens of games in the virtual world, he has never encountered a situation like today, where he was two goals behind, one man missing, and the goalkeeper was sent off. This shows how low the probability is.

But he knows what to do at this time, which is of course to improve the team's morale.

How to improve team morale?

Just like what he did in the game against Chelsea, he must either organize an attack or shoot the ball himself. Anyway, he must be able to threaten Naples' goal. As long as his teammates can see the hope of defeating Naples or equalizing the score, morale will be rise.

We still have to attack, and blindly defending will not give our teammates hope, and naturally there will be no recovery period.

But the situation Dortmund faces now is different from the situation in the game against Chelsea.

At that time, Chelsea was mainly defensive, and Dortmund could attack Chelsea for analysis. Zhou Yi could naturally continue to send wonderful passes close to Chelsea's goal, or shoot the ball himself.

And now? Dortmund, who was short of one man, was beaten by Naples. He was far away from the opponent's goal. He had to overcome many defenses if he wanted to get up, and the resistance he faced was very high. How can we launch an attack that can threaten Naples' goal?

Zhou Yi set his sights on Aubameyang, who had just played.

It seems that Aubameyang is also in decline. He originally came on the field with the task of strengthening Dortmund's offense. However, as soon as he came on the field, his body may not have even run away to get warm, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

Now it's unclear whether Dortmund still needs to strengthen their offensive... He himself is also a little confused, not knowing what his task should be now.

At this time, Zhou Yi found him.

Pierre. Zhou Yi said to him: We may have to fight defensively.

Aubameyang looked at him and didn't understand why he came to talk to him.

At this time, I need your speed advantage. Zhou Yi explained.

Aubameyang suddenly realized: You want me to rush forward?

Yes, I will try my best to send you long balls during the game, and then you have to rely on your own speed to chase the ball and threaten Naples' goal as much as possible. Zhou Yi simply told Aubameyang his plan.

Aubameyang is not stupid either. Zhou Yi clicked and he understood.

Aubameyang, who was still confused and didn't know what to do, immediately became energetic: That's no problem, speed is what I'm best at! He grinned and showed his white teeth.

There may not be many people supporting you. Zhou Yi continued.

Aubameyang nodded: Well, I know what the situation is now...

He clenched his fists. When the team was in danger, of course it was time for him to step forward and play the role of a superhero!

He was suddenly looking forward to the next game.
