Chapter 177: A Perfect Opportunity

Atletico Madrid players are celebrating the goals crazily, while Dortmund players are a little confused and disappointed. They have not seen the live broadcast of the game. They don’t know that Diego Costa’s goal is offside first, otherwise they will definitely protest and appeal to the referee.

But even if they protest against the complaint, it may not be of use.

The referee rarely changes the penalty he has made, let alone the rules do not allow the referee to change the penalty by using the means of TV video.

So even though they knew that the ball was offside, they could only suffer a loss.

But to outsiders, Dortmund's luck is really bad.

Originally, they were fighting against the ground at home, but they also let their opponents score an away goal in the form of offside... Now they are behind in the total score and have lost two away goals. Even if Dortmund equalizes the score again next, they will still be eliminated.

More importantly, this goal concealment will greatly damage the team's morale...

Morale is very important in the competition.

The stands at West** Stadium fell into silence for the first time. Many Dortmund fans held their heads with their hands, looking at the Atletico Madrid players celebrating on the stadium with some confusion, forgot to greet them with boo.

The situation is already extremely unfavorable for Dortmund.

Has our Champions League road come to an end this season?

The goal lost in the 81st minute is really fatal in terms of time...

※※※

When the game started again, Marcel Leif was still making a frustration for Dortmund's concealment: "This is an offside ball, the linebacker should see, but the referee team made such a major mistake! If Dortmund was eliminated because of this offside ball, it would definitely not be accepted. I don't know how many media will question this goal after the game, but I think there will definitely be no less."

He Ping also regrets Dortmund's bad luck, but his mood is slightly more stable than Marcel Leif. After all, even if Dortmund is eliminated and Atletico Madrid advances, there is still a Chinese player there. Zhou Yi is eliminated and Sun Pan advances, which is acceptable for Chinese football.

"...If Dortmund is eliminated, it would be a pity... But this is football, and misjudgment is also part of football. Although the Hawkeye system has been introduced to determine whether the football scores, this system has not been applied to the judgment of offside or not..."

After the game restarted, Simeone quickly made a substitution adjustment, and he replaced Falcao, who assisted Diego Costa with the goal, with substitute centre-back Domingo Sisma.

Replace a forward and add a central defender. What does Simeone mean is already obvious.

Atletico Madrid is going to strengthen its defense and strive to defend the last ten minutes of the game.

Even if I can't stand it, I hope to only lose one ball.

In this way, Atletico Madrid will be qualified to advance to the semi-finals.

When Falcao was out of the field, a huge boo sounded from West** Stadium. The boo was given to Falcao, not because Falcao assisted Diego Costa, but because Falcao's assist was an offside ball, and Dortmund fans were very dissatisfied with this.

"Oh, this lost the ball..." Guo Nu sighed in the group. He still hoped that Zhou Yi could advance.

"Bortmond was not lucky in this game. He let his opponent score first, but now he has lost another offside goal." Yang Muge also said. "I hope Zhou Yi will not be affected."

When he said this, the TV broadcast gave Zhou Yi a close-up shot.

As the core of the team, Zhou Yi will naturally attract attention. What does the so-called core mean? It is not only icing on the cake when the team wins a big victory, but also needs to stand up when the team encounters difficulties and help in time.

When Dortmund encounters difficulties, everyone will naturally think of Zhou Yi.

Turn your eyes to him and want to see what he can do.

However, in the minds of many people, they actually think that this approach of relying on Zhou Yi is a demanding demand for Zhou Yi.

With little time left in the game, even if Zhou Yi is possessed by God, he may be able to do very little. After all, he is an organizer, not a goal machine. No matter how good he passes the ball, his teammates need to convert his pass into goals. If his teammates are in poor condition and are not in the game, it will only be a waste of the opportunity he has created with hard work.

After the game restarted, Dortmund did not counterattack immediately. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid, which had just taken the lead, created a threatening offensive opportunity. In the end, Diego Costa's shot slipped out, which was only a little short of it.

Booth Dortmund fans sounded in the stands, giving the booing to Diego Costa, who scored offside goals.

At this time, Zhou Yi found Shahin.

"I will go up later, so I'll ask you for the subsequent work, Nuri."

Shahin looked ahead and knew what Zhou Yi was going to do, so he nodded: "Don't worry, I will pass the football to you."

In the last ten minutes, if Dortmund wants to drive big, Zhou Yi will not be able to remain in the midfielder position. He must be closer to Atletico Madrid's goal. Only in this way can he create more and greater threats.

※※※

After explaining to Shahin, when the game was held again, Zhou Yi's position obviously went a lot.

Anyone who sees this knows why this is happening.

But they didn't know whether this was Zhou Yi's own decision or the adjustment made by Klopp.

Klopp stood on the sidelines nervously, watching closely everything on the court.

He also saw the difference in Zhou Yi's position and knew why Zhou Yi did this.

This was not his decision, but Zhou Yi's own.

But he did not make any statement that Zhou Yi would listen to his arrangements, but let Zhou Yi do it. At this time, there was definitely no player on the front line of the battle to understand the situation on the field better. Zhou Yi did this naturally had his own reason, so let him do it.

※※※

After Zhou Yi's position, he became a front midfielder and closer to Atletico Madrid's penalty area. Of course, the defensive pressure he faced was naturally greater.

In the eyes of many people, Zhou Yi's approach may not be a good choice, because he exposed himself directly to the aggressive defenders of Atletico Madrid. How could his small body withstand the collision of Atletico Madrid defenders?

The space and time he needs to play will no longer exist or be difficult to obtain in such a close place to Atletico Madrid goal.

So even if he is close to the goal, how can he perform well enough to help the team turn the situation around?

This seemed to have become a paradox - if you don't go forward, there is no threat, if you go forward, you will be restricted or not.

After Zhou Yi went up, he really felt greater pressure.

As soon as he received the ball, Godin shoveled it out, and he himself was taken to the ground.

Referee Thomson did not say anything. In fact, Godin's ball was not a foul and should not be stopped. However, booed in the stands. Since Thomson made Diego Costa's offside goal an effective goal, Dortmund fans have disliked the Scottish referee.

Zhou Yi got up from the ground and did not complain about the referee. He was still looking for opportunities.

He didn't have much time left for him and the entire Dortmund, so he didn't have time to argue with the referee.

He kept running back and forth in the frontcourt, raising his hands to ask his teammates for the ball, even if he was always following the Atletico Madrid players.

Time passes by second by second - the passage of time can no longer be calculated in minutes. In that case, there is really little time left for Dortmund.

Dortmund pressed the entire line and besieged Atletico Madrid's penalty area. Atletico Madrid retreated and contracted in its 30-meter area.

Zhou Yi decided to go further. Even if the opponent fouls outside the penalty area, he would only get a free kick, which is not well-known.

What happens if you enter the penalty area?

Atletico Madrid players are more likely to be afraid to take too much action against themselves.

Thinking of this, when Goce was getting the ball on the wing, Zhou Yi decisively rushed into the penalty area and ran towards Goce.

Goce also saw Zhou Yi's forward, so he quickly passed the football over.

At this time, Zhou Yi was still following Atletico Madrid player Gabi.

While Gabi was almost close to the guard, Zhou Yi suddenly accelerated and faced the football, then stuck Gabi behind him and caught the football.

However, Gabi is not a vegetarian. Although he was stuck behind Zhou Yi and could not reach the football for a while, he did not give up on defense, but instead stuck firmly behind Zhou Yi and prevented him from turning around.

Gabi believes that as long as Zhou Yi does not turn around, there will be no threat to his goal.

But Zhou Yi didn't think so. Since he had been in the penalty area, it would be no difference whether he could turn around or not.

He leaned back and pressed against Gabi to prevent him from suddenly breaking the ball.

Then he leaned to the right and made a move to break through there. Sure enough, Zhou Yi felt that Gabi was shifting the center of gravity behind him.

This was just Zhou Yi's fake move. After he tricked Jiabi's center of gravity into changing, he raised his right foot, bypassed the left foot that supported his body from the front, and suddenly knocked the ball to the left and rear!

I just passed by Gabi!

The football was knocked to the middle of the penalty area, and there, Shahin rushed up and received the ball!

“Excellent opportunity!!”

"Beautiful! Great heel pass!!"

Amid the shouts of the commentators, Shahin received Zhou Yi's ball without anyone being guarded. He did not continue to dribble the ball, but chose to kick directly... and shoot!

"Shahin-!!"

Marcel Leif yelled in a long voice.

But just as he was roaring, Shahin had just shot out the football and hit a "mountain" - Sun Panheng rushed over, his raised hips were the peak, and the football hit it, bounced upwards, and then... crossed the crossbar!

"Ah! Ah! Ah—!" Facing this scene, Marcel Leif was not only amazed, but also didn't know what to say...
