Champion’s Heart

Arsenal's players celebrated excitedly after the goal. They certainly deserved to be so happy to score and equalize the score in such an unfavorable situation.

Now that we have equalized the score, should the next step be a reversal?

Arsenal has remained undefeated in the last four Champions League visits to Germany, with two wins and two draws... the commentator in England was introducing the situation to the Arsenal fans in front of the TV. In Germany they scored in eight consecutive Champions League games. Now they have scored in nine consecutive Champions League games against German teams!

And Marcel Leif is also using historical data to comfort Dortmund fans: ...Although Dortmund's performance in the Champions League group stage this season is not satisfactory, they have won seven consecutive home games in the Champions League. This result tied the club record they created between 1996 and 1998. In addition, Dortmund has never lost against an English team at home, with four wins and three draws...if you include those outside the European war statistics The last time Dortmund lost to an English team at home was in the European Fairs Cup in November 1964, when they lost to Manchester United...

Historical data tells Dortmund fans that Dortmund is undefeated against England at home.

But for Dortmund now, just extending the unbeaten record is meaningless. What they want now is victory!

This goal conceded was definitely a heavy blow.

After the game restarted, Arsenal's morale was high. They didn't just shrink their defense. They began to try more attacks, hoping to score another goal in a short time and completely take the initiative.

In the 64th minute, Giroud made a pass from the left. Ramsey stopped the football with his chest at the back point, and at the same time dodged Schmelzer who rushed to defend him, and then eight meters in front of the goal. A semi-volley shot from somewhere!

Fortunately, Weidenfeller played steadily and well and pushed his shot over the baseline!

Arsenal were awarded a corner kick.

The corner kick was taken by Cazorla, and it was Arsenal center Giroud who jumped high in front of the goal and hit the football!

He was about seven meters in front of the goal and made a powerful shot to the top!

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller tried his best to pounce, but he didn't know whether he could definitely save the football.

Fortunately, Dortmund midfielder Shaheen was still guarding the goal post. He took the first kick and kicked the football out!

And it wasn't until he kicked the football away that Weidenfeller's hand arrived - without Shaheen's kick, the ball might have really gone into the goal...

It’s really scary to think about it!

The Dortmund fans in the stands also let out a burst of exclamations.

Giroud put his head in his hands and was very sorry.

Shaxin has made a meritorious service! He Ping shouted. His clearance on the line of the penalty area is really crucial! Ramsey's goal just now was due to Giroud's header, and now Giroud almost scored directly... It seems that Hummels' absence is indeed a big blow to Dortmund. The air defense capability has a great impact...

And just when everyone was still feeling lucky to have escaped, Dortmund's head coach Klopp had already made his decision to adjust.

He asked assistant coach Zeljko Buvac to call back a warm-up player.

The name he gave was: Yan Min.

Buvac was stunned for a moment. He thought it would be Kuba or Mkhitaryan, but Klopp chose Yan Min. He couldn't understand Klopp's decision at first, but when he pulled away from this emotion After coming out, it soon became clear why Klopp made this choice.

So he turned around and ran towards the warm-up area.

Dortmund's most precious time now cannot afford to waste a second.

Yan Min, who had been warming up on the sidelines, did not expect that Klopp would think of him first when the team was in trouble.

He jabbed himself with his thumb and asked the assistant coach for confirmation.

Of course it's you! Buvac said angrily, he was so scrambling for time, but this guy was wasting his time here.

So Yan Min followed the assistant coach and ran back to the coaching bench.

This move was also captured by the live broadcast camera and released for everyone to see - Klopp will be the first to make adjustments.

When Yan Min appeared in the camera, many people had the same reaction as Buvac's initial reaction - surprised.

Everyone can't imagine that when the team is in trouble, Klopp would choose a player who has made mistakes before.

Why not Bowser?

Why not Mkhitaryan?

The commentators all asked similar questions.

He Ping was also surprised. Of course he hopes to see more Chinese players appear on the highest stage of the Champions League, but now, he is not willing to see Yan Min play.

In the last game, Dortmund played Arsenal away from home and failed to win. Yan Min became the main culprit for the team's failure. His performance during and after the game was also very controversial.

But now, when the team encounters difficulties again and the opponent is Arsenal, Klopp decided to use Yan Min again. He Ping was very worried that this would become a burden for Yan Min, which would overwhelm him and cause him to perform abnormally.

If he fails to perform well in two consecutive appearances, I'm afraid he will be relegated to the sidelines in Dortmund... No one will give him a third chance.

So why Klopp chose to let Yan Min come on as a substitute really puzzled He Ping. Klopp shouldn't have any grudge against Yan Min. Wouldn't it be harmful to him to specifically let him play at such a time?

On the Chinese Internet, everyone is not excited or looking forward to Yan Min's appearance at all, but is full of worries.

How much pressure it is to let Yan Min play at such a critical time!

Is Klopp's head flooded? How can we let Yan Min play at this time? Let him take the blame. How can he take it!

This is not giving Yan Min a chance, this is harming him...

When everyone was surprised by Klopp's choice, Yan Min was already standing in front of Klopp.

Generally, when making substitutions, the assistant coach will explain the tasks and arrangements to the players after playing. The head coach is not responsible for this specific matter.

But this time, it was Klopp who stood in front of Yan Min, not Buvac.

Klopp asked him in German: Do you know why I chose you?

Yan Min shook his head.

After several months of hard study, Yan Min has no problem understanding German. In speaking German, he can also have some simple communication.

After the last game against Arsenal, there was a lot of criticism against you, Klopp said. But I want to beat a person to death with a stick and deny it in one breath, which is not good. So I want to give you another chance to prove yourself again. Arsenal is a very good opponent. Wherever you fall, you will fall. Get up.

After saying that, he returned Yan Min to assistant coach Buvac.

Buvac heard Klopp's words next to him, and he grinned at Yan Min: Jurgen seems to trust you, but I don't, kid. To be honest, if I were you, I wouldn't treat this time I’m eager to go out and try.”

He glanced at Yan Min who was eager to try and said.

If you are asked to play at this time, you will be under a lot of pressure and face huge resistance. These pressures and resistance will make you perform abnormally. But your misery has nothing to do with me. I just need to tell you what to do when you go on the field. Just...

When Yan Min was pulled by the coach to give him instructions off the court, Zhou Yi also noticed this change on the court.

Klopp actually chose Yan Min?

Zhou Yi set his sights on the head coach.

Zhou Yi felt that this choice should not be just randomly named by Klopp on the list of substitute players. It must have special meaning from Klopp.

So why did Klopp choose Yan Min?

Zhou Yi glanced at the big screen.

At the 67th minute of the game, the score was 1:1.

Since Arsenal equalized the score, they have been very aggressive and almost scored another goal just now. In comparison, Dortmund was a bit depressed during this period.

Under such circumstances, it seems to be a good choice to replace him with a player who is somewhat generous...

Zhou Yi understands why Klopp chose Yan Min instead of Kuba or Mkhitaryan.

Compared with the latter, Yan Min's momentum is really suitable for the current moment.

After Yan Min patiently listened to the tasks assigned to him by assistant coach Buvac, he went to the sidelines to wait for his appearance. But he did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to Buvac: Coach Buvac, I'm sorry to disappoint you. No resistance or pressure will make me perform abnormally!

After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

A Buvac was left stunned in place.

Klopp laughed: Zheliko, you were so stunned by a young boy that you were speechless...

After coming back to his senses, Buvac shook his head and curled his lips: At least my provoking method worked.

Don't worry, maybe it's my provoking method that works?

Klopp turned to look at Yan Min, who had already occupied the fourth official's side. He was really a Chinese player completely different from Zhou Yi, but that's what's interesting...
