Chapter 337 Air Relay

During the halftime break, Ancelotti encouraged his players in the locker room: "It's just a ball, just a ball. Imagine who we are, we are Real Madrid! We came here to win the championship!"

Meanwhile, in the locker room in Dortmund, Klopp slapped hard: "It's just a ball, just a ball. We're just a ball ahead! If you think you can rest assured, then wait and regret it at the end of the game!"

Ancelotti: "We were right in the second half of the first half. We used the weapons we were best at to deal with them. Their defense line was not solid. As long as we could keep pressing them, we could create opportunities!"

Klopp: "We must stabilize the pace for their playing style in the second half of the first half. Zhou Yi did a good job and wanted to play like this. Now we are the leader, so we should be more patient and calmer than them..."

Ancelotti: "There are still 45 minutes left, and I don't think we can't score the goal. This season our offensive firepower is the strongest. As long as we have confidence in ourselves, we are invincible!"

Klopp: "There are still forty-five minutes, and everything is possible. But I think no matter what happens, the most important thing is not to give up!"

During the halftime break, the Chinese team was also having discussions.

Of course, it was everyone's discussion spontaneously, not what the head coach asked for.

After watching the first half, everyone was happy that Dortmund was able to withstand the pressure in the last moment and did not concede the ball.

But some people are worried that Dortmund will not be able to withstand Real Madrid's crazy counterattack in the second half, after all, Real Madrid's offensive firepower is very strong.

This worry is not unreasonable. Real Madrid has scored 37 goals in the Champions League this season, which is the most goals among all teams participating in the Champions League. In La Liga, Real Madrid scored 104 goals in one season, which is the team with the most goals in the entire La Liga. Although Barcelona has also scored 100 league goals this season, they can only rank second. These 104 goals make Real Madrid the first not only in La Liga, but also in the five European leagues. Manchester City has scored 102 goals in the Premier League this season, and can only be second.

In the whole of Europe, only the Austrian League champion Salzburg Red Bull scored more goals than them - 110. But the Austrian League is too valuable, and this goal is only larger than Real Madrid in terms of numbers.

Regarding some of the teammates' concerns, Sun Pan hummed: "If I were there, there was no need to consider this kind of problem!"

He has played for Atletico Madrid for two seasons, and although he has returned to Chelsea now, he still regards Real Madrid as his enemy.

There are also players who are worried about injuries.

Because before the end of the first half, Khedira swept Zhou Yi down from behind. There was a noise in front of the TV. Anyway, no one of the players on the court was a teammate of Khedira, so there was naturally no psychological barrier when scolding him.

Everyone is worried about Zhou Yi’s three long and two shortcomings in this game.

Zhou Yi has long used his actual performance to shape himself into the Chinese team's golden thigh. Before the World Cup, no one wanted any problems with this golden thigh.

Dortmund's win or loss is not important, what is important is to give them a healthy core thigh.

The fifteen minutes of the halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court one after another, changing sides and fighting again.

Just as the second half began, Real Madrid launched a fierce offensive. Di Maria was knocked to the ground by Reusla while cutting inward. Reus was warned by a yellow card and gave Real Madrid a free kick with a very good position, twenty-five meters away from the goal, slightly left.

The ball was punished by Cristiano Ronaldo. After the Portuguese set up the football, Dortmund's wall was also set up.

After hearing the referee whistle, he assisted and shot.

After shooting with his right foot, the football flew up and hit the jumping Dortmund man-wall player, and there was a tendency to jump up slightly. This jump just made the shooting even more tricky. The football flew higher, but suddenly a drop came...

Fortunately, Weidenfeller was very focused and reacted very quickly. He jumped up and raised his hand to hold the ball off the crossbar.

"Oh! It's so dangerous! Weidenfell held the football out with one hand!"

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed very depressed and helpless when he saw his shot failing to score. He shook his head and kept muttering, as if he couldn't believe that such a tricky shot was saved by Weidenfell...

Real Madrid won a corner kick.

Modric did not directly kick this corner kick into the penalty area, but made some changes and played a tactical corner kick.

He passed the football to Kavajal who came up to pick him up.

Then he ran away from behind Kavajal.

Kavajal originally wanted to make a cross, but felt that the opportunity was not very good, so he passed the football to Modric who was walking around behind him.

Modric did not stop the ball, but looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area when the football rolled towards him. Then he directly made a cross and passed the football to the back point of the goal with his left foot!

At this time, Dortmund's players were pressing outwards - after the corner kick was taken, they had to press forward quickly, which was basically one of the common sense when defending corner kicks.

But sometimes, this becomes an opportunity to be exploited.

Zhou Yi took advantage of this opportunity in the first half and assisted Hummels to score.

And this time, Real Madrid's midfield commander, Modric, also plans to take advantage of this opportunity.

He hung the football to the back of the goal, and at the same time, several Real Madrid players turned around and reversed back to the goal.

They were all among Dortmund players before, so the countercut reception will not be offside at this time.

Weidenfell also followed the football backwards and retreated to the back of the goal. He planned to lift the football out.

But he looked at the estimate of the football flying below, estimated the height of the football, and felt that no one could reach the football before the football flew out of the bottom line - it was too high...

So he did not do any moves and planned to watch the football fly out of the baseline - wouldn't it be better if he could not give the opponent a corner kick?

As a result, at this moment, he saw a scene that shocked him - Real Madrid's No. 7 jumped high, as if flying in the air! He flew to the bottom line, and then shook his head and pushed the football back before the football flew out of the bottom line!

Of course, this ball is indeed too high. Even someone like Cristiano Ronaldo who bounces extraordinaryly can only rub the football, but cannot hit the football firmly.

But just like this, the football flew high, crossed Weidenfeller's head, and flew directly to the area in front of the goal behind him.

The hasty return to defense is not Hummels or Papastasopoulos, who is famous for heading, but Schmelzer.

Schmelzer only looked at the football flying in the air and wanted to grab the landing point, but he didn't notice the situation around him at all.

As a result, at this moment, Bell jumped high and pressed on Schmelzer's head before he jumped!

Then take the flying football down a little!

The football flew into the goal of Dortmund, which was already an empty goal, without any suspense...

"Garez Bale!!! Real Madrid equalized the score!" The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly. "I scored the goal just at the beginning of the second half! It's amazing! Real Madrid had a perfect second half start!"

"Ahhh, Real Madrid equalized the score!" Marcel Leif screamed when he saw the football fly into the goal. "A header's aerial relay, Bale pushed the football into the goal! At the beginning of the second half, he lost the ball and was equalized. It's so bad..."

"This ball..." He Ping sighed.

Can this ball be said to be a problem with Dortmund's defense?

Of course, Dortmund's defense did have some problems, but it was not that fatal.

The worst thing is that no one expected Cristiano Ronaldo to jump so high and save the ball...

It was precisely because of insufficient preparation for this that I watched the football fly to the most dangerous area and be powerless.

This time it was Real Madrid's turn to rush to celebrate, and the lost Dortmund players provided them with background.

When Ancelotti saw the goal, he stood out from the coach's seat and waved his arms, then clapped, and was relatively calm. Zidane next to him was very excited, waving his fists and jumped up, then rushed back and hugged the people around him one by one.

Snatch Ancelotti's play...
