Champion’s Heart

Favre did not think for too long because the situation waited for no one.

While he was thinking hard, the game on the court had restarted. Dortmund still maintained a very fast pace and high intensity, constantly putting pressure on Monchengladbach's defense. The West** Stadium stands The fans in the stadium also tried their best to make noise and cheer for Dortmund.

From the players to the fans, everyone is united and vowed to completely win Monchengladbach at home.

In the 81st minute, Yan Min tried to break through from the left but failed, and passed the football back to Zhou Yi who came up to meet him. Zhou Yi did not stop the ball to adjust, but faced the football passed back by Yan Min and directly turned sideways with his right foot. The outside instep suddenly passed the football towards the goal.

He accurately found Royce who entered the penalty area.

Reus leaned against the defender of Monchengladbach and raised his foot to stop the ball from Zhou Yi. Then he dribbled horizontally, throwing away the defender and knocking down the other two Monchengladbach who were blocking the ball. Defender, Monchengladbach's penalty area suddenly turned upside down and there was chaos!

Royce continued to dribble horizontally, but the space left for him was already very small. He had just pushed the football horizontally, and Mark, who was standing next to him, met the ball with an incredible kick and shot it!

This change caught the Monchengladbach defenders off guard, especially the captain of Monchengladbach and No. 3 defender Philippe Dams, who was very close to the football. His hands habitually moved up, just in time. Appeared on the football track, and then the two sides collided hard!

The football bounced and flew out, and he quickly fell to the ground, covered his face with the hand that touched the football, and pretended to block the shot with his face...

But all this did not escape the eyes of the Dortmund players. Royce immediately raised his arm to signal Damas for handball!

Mark, who then shot, also raised his hand and jumped up. At the same time, he slapped his right hand with his left hand to remind the referee.

There were also cheers in the stands.

But the referee didn't make any comment!

This is...a penalty kick, right? Duan Xin saw that the referee had no expression and was a little unsure.

Marcel Leif, on the other hand, was very sure: Penalty kick! Dams blocked Mark's shot with his hand! This should be a penalty kick!

Subsequently, the TV broadcast also quickly gave this scene a slow motion, and also used technical means during replay to make this scene appear clearer - after Mark shot, the TV broadcast immediately zoomed in on Damas' position alone , framed so that everyone can clearly see that the football was indeed blocked by Dams' raised hand...

This is really a penalty kick! Duan Xin also complained about Dortmund after seeing this scene.

How important and crucial is this penalty kick when Dortmund needs victory the most?

But the referee said nothing!

Because the game was still going on, Dortmund's players couldn't even continue to argue with the referee.

After the head coach Klopp roared angrily on the sidelines, he turned to the fourth official to argue: This is a penalty kick. It is very obvious that they committed a handball foul!

However, the fourth official ignored him and just pressed down with his hand to remind Klopp to stay calm.

Klopp naturally also thought about the fact that he was sent to the stands for contradicting the referee. The team is in this situation, and if he is sent to the stands again, it will be a huge loss to the team.

So even though Klopp was very unhappy, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Faced with this situation, he could only spread his hands and show a helpless smile.

※※※

The penalty kick was not awarded, so Monchengladbach escaped.

This also sounded the alarm for Favre, who realized that he had to make a decision quickly, otherwise the team would be doomed if it continued.

And this handball also made him realize that with Dortmund's current offensive determination, if Monchengladbach does not defend with all its strength,

It's hard not to lose the ball. Now is not the time to consider counterattack. Monchengladbach has no energy left to counterattack...

So he immediately asked the whole team to shrink their defense and be sure to maintain the tie.

※※※

On the court, after a dead ball, the Dortmund players wanted to run to the referee to argue about the penalty.

But Zhou Yi shouted loudly: What are you doing? Delaying time?!

The game had entered the last ten minutes, but he still failed to score a goal. He was also very anxious.

At this point in the game, Dortmund was pressing forward from all fronts, a completely all-or-nothing style of play. Center back Hummels moved from the center back position to the forward line, acting as a standing center.

On the court, every time a Monchengladbach player dawdled a little while getting the ball, harsh boos echoed in the stands.

The head coaches of both sides stood on the sidelines and watched the game nervously.

As the game time went on, the competition became more and more intense, and the air was burning and suffocating.

Marcel Leif suddenly said: Bayern Munich's game will start immediately after the end of this game. I wonder if Bayern Munich, which has arrived at the Allianz Arena, is not paying attention to this game?

※※※

At the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich's players have returned from warming up on the court, ready to change clothes and make final preparations for the upcoming game.

There was no coach in the locker room, not one.

The coaches are outside.

They are really concerned about this match between Dortmund and Monchengladbach.

Bayern Munich has performed very well this season. Now they are not only the best defensive team, but also the most offensive team. They have scored more goals than Dortmund, with as many as 72 goals.

But Bayern Munich, which has performed so well, has not yet been able to secure the league title, all because of the tenacious performance of their old rival Dortmund.

Dortmund has encountered great difficulties this season, and their performance is much worse than last season, but even so, they still bite Bayern Munich tightly and put a lot of pressure on Bayern Munich.

At first, Guardiola didn't really take Dortmund seriously, so he would say in interviews that they would focus on me and not care about Dortmund.

Now as the league progresses, Dortmund always wins despite stumbling, and Guardiola has to pay attention to this opponent.

Guardiola found his coaching staff gathered around assistant coach Hermann Grande, seemingly debating a topic.

What's wrong? Guardiola asked outside the crowd.

Hearing Guardiola's voice, everyone stopped arguing and turned to look at him.

Assistant coach Hermann Grand explained: It's still 2:2, but there was a controversial scene on the field. Dortmund thought they should get a penalty kick. Monchengladbach defender Dams was suspected in the penalty area. Handball…”

It's suspected of being a handball. It's not a handball at all. It's a ball hitter. Dames is too close and there's no time to hide... snorted Lorenzo Buenaventura, the team's physical coach, who is Guardio. As a direct confidant of La, you don’t need to pay too much attention to Hermann Grande, the former Bayern Munich team, when you speak, just say what you have to say.

Oh? Guardiola became interested and picked up the iPad in Grande's hand. The live broadcast on it was replaying the controversial scene just now.

Well... After reading it, Guardiola did not express his opinion. He neither supported the referee's decision nor questioned it. He just said: No matter what, this matter will definitely affect the psychology and emotions of the Dortmund players.

Buenaventura sneered: Who says it's not the case? Klopp was almost sent to the stands again, but he had to endure it again and again before yelling at the fourth official. It's a pity that he endured it...

Hearing him say this, the others laughed.

They all know Klopp's character and temper. He has been suspended before for complaining about the referee. If he is suspended again this time, that would be really good news for Bayern Munich. That's why I think it's a pity that he held back...

Now it seems that Nordwit's red card might be the key to determining the final result of the game...

Well, it looks like Dortmund is benefiting, but it's not...

Dortmund's luck this season is indeed not bad...

Who allowed them to beat us twice in a row last season?

Hey……

The coaches started discussing again, and Guardiola coughed, drawing everyone's attention to him again.

No matter how our opponents perform, as long as we do our best, they won't have any chance, he said.

Yes, as long as we don't make mistakes, Dortmund won't have any chance no matter how stubborn they are. Grande nodded.

Other coaches echoed the sentiment.

Bayern Munich and Dortmund still have a chance to talk directly, even though it is at the Allianz Arena, but they cannot be taken lightly. If we can completely widen the gap between the two sides before that game, we can make the game at the Allianz Arena meaningless.

And now it seems that maybe today is a good opportunity.
