Chapter 160 The Cursed Dortmund

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!!!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly. "Beautiful arc shot! This is Zhou Yi's signature long shot! His long shot is not known for his strength, but is famous for his arc! Such an arc can help his shot bypass the defense and reach the goal directly! This goal is not only beautiful, but also of great significance! He helped Dortmund equalize the score!"

Duan Xin was so excited, of course, because of the hype of the Korean media before the game. Son Heung-min scored the goal, but Zhou Yi didn't score. If the game ended like this, what would be known how the Korean media would boast? Duan Xin was very upset when she thought of this.

"Zhou Yi - he equalized the score for the team!" Marcel Lef shouted. "After the start of the second half, everyone thought that Leverkusen had the advantage, Dortmund had no chance, but this is the football game. You are very predicting what will happen in the next second!"

"Ah - Zhou Yi - the ball is in! Dortmund equalized the score! What a pity!" The Korean commentator exclaimed first, then sighed. If the ball was not scored by Zhou Yi, he might not have sighed. Son Heung-min scored a goal, which was originally ahead of Zhou Yi. As a result, there was no more than ten minutes in the second half, and Zhou Yi actually scored a goal! The two sides now tied, and Son Heung-min had no advantage in front of Zhou Yi.

This is the main reason why Korean commentators are upset.

※※※

When Zhou Yi saw the football enter the door, he was a little surprised at first, and he was stunned for a moment.

Because he didn't expect that this kick would really go in - before he made a kick, he just wanted to try it out and try his luck. No one can guarantee that this kind of long shot would definitely go in, because there are too many factors that can affect the final result.

After confirming that the football really flew into the goal, Zhou Yi began to celebrate - he did not run wildly to somewhere to celebrate the goal, but instead wrapped his hands around his chest, raised his head slightly, and stood there in a state of concave shape.

His teammates followed him up and all followed Zhou Yi to form a group of sculptures.

Then everyone laughed and hugged each other again.

Commentator Marcel Leif said: "Actually, when Zhou Yi was in a corner, he was ambushed outside the penalty area and waiting for a long shot. It's no secret. But it's really hard to defend, because he can't always play such a beautiful shot. If Leverkusen sends more individuals to defend Zhou Yi, it will inevitably lead to one less person in front of the goal defense, which may give Dortmund an opportunity to take advantage of... In fact, after Yan Min broke through in the first half, his defense against Zhou Yi was not as good as before... In fact, Leverkusen is in a dilemma now. How did this corner kick be formed? Isn’t Yan Min’s breakthrough cross giving Mark a chance to shoot? And how did Yan Min get the opportunity to cross? When he was in front, Zhou Yi cleverly picked the football to him - look, it finally fell on Zhou Yi. Why did Zhou Yi have the opportunity to pass the ball calmly outside the 30-meter area of ​​Leverkusen? Because Leverkusen’s defense against him is not as strict as before, why is it not as strict as before? Because Yan Min is particularly active. Why did Yan Min become active? Because Zhou Yi dragged too many defensive forces to Doleverkusen…”

Marcel Leif was almost fainted, but his analysis was still very accurate.

This is Dortmund's wishful thinking and the problem facing Leverkusen.

As Dortmund players celebrated the goal, Leverkusen's head coach Hepia stood on the sidelines in a suit and tie, with his hands in his pockets and frowning.

Of course he also saw what the situation was now, but he had no solution.

Yes, there is no solution. The head coach is not omnipotent, and he is not a top head coach. Even if he is a top head coach, it may be difficult to deal with the current situation in Leverkusen.

Zhou Yi was obviously unable to suppress it by one person, but if someone was sent, what should others do? Now it's not just Yan Min, but Aubameyang is also ready to move... They are all people with excellent personal abilities and good at shooting.

※※※

The equalization of the score made Dortmund's morale greatly boost, which was their home court after all. The next plan was of course to take advantage of the situation, take the lead, and then win the game.

Logically speaking, this should be the case. Any team will perform better and have an advantage after scoring a goal.

But football is round, and no one knows what will happen in the next second...

Just as Dortmund regained his momentum and planned to completely defeat Leverkusen, an accident suddenly occurred on the court.

In the 59th minute, Leverkusen midfielder Hegler was competing with Sven Bend, but he stepped on Sven Bend's foot. Sven Bend fell to the ground in pain.

This behavior gave Hegler a yellow card. But the price paid by Dortmund was even greater - Sven Bend could not hold on to the game and had to be replaced!

"Sven Bend is injured... For Dortmund, now the wounded soldiers are full of camps, this is simply a bit worse!" Marcel Lef lamented for Dortmund. "This game was originally called a 'brother derby' between Sven Bend and Lars Bend, but the brother derby ended early..."

Seeing Sven Bend limping off the field with the help of the team doctor, Klopp swears on the sidelines.

He is in a very bad mood now - he finally saw hope of winning the game, but Sven Bend was injured. With almost all the defense line on the injury list, is it time for the midfield to start getting injured?

※※※

Sven Bend's fate was indeed a heavy blow to Dortmund's high morale.

Because Sven Bend is responsible for midfield defense, if Dortmund wants to be more efficient and threatening in the offense, they must rely on Sven Bend's defense behind.

Especially when Klopp's adjustment during the halftime break, he encouraged frontcourt players to play freely. Free play will of course lead to many mistakes and losing possession.

What should I do if I lose the ball? On the one hand, the players who lose the ball actively counterattack in the frontcourt, and on the other hand, of course, they rely on the midfield's defensive interception. Sven Bend plays a very important role in this place.

After Sven Bend left the court, it seemed that it had a great impact on Dortmund's defense, but in fact it had a great impact on Dortmund's offense.

Klopp made a substitution at the first time, and he replaced the injured Sven Bend with Kyle. This season, Kyle was affected by injury. He started once, appeared on the bench twice, and played only three games. His condition was definitely not as good as Sven Bend. Moreover, he had to face such a fierce situation at the beginning, which was a great test for him.

Affected by this, Dortmund's subsequent offensive frenzy did not appear.

Hypia also breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines - God was on their side, and this luck was so good.

※※※

Next, the two sides were in a stalemate again, and Leverkusen continued to use frequent fouls to interrupt Dortmund's offensive rhythm and make the game fragmented.

In the 61st minute, Emre Jan was given a yellow card by the referee for tackle Yan Min in defense.

However, this foul was not to make the game fragmented, but Emre Jan couldn't take it anymore at that time - Yan Min had already increased his speed. If it was a little later, Emre would have gone from a side tackle to a back tackle. At that time, it would probably not be able to be passed by a yellow card...

When Emre Jan tackled Yan Min, there was a storm of booing in the stands, and Dortmund fans were very dissatisfied with Emre Jan's just taking a yellow card.

Later, Dortmund's central defender Papastasopoulos also received a yellow card in the defense, and he defended Son Heung-min.

Dortmund's offense slowed down, allowing Son Heung-min to see the opportunity to score.

Zhou Yi scored a goal, and he was tied with him. Of course, Son Heung-min would not accept this result.

Seeing that Dortmund's attack was deadlocked again, Klopp also made another personnel adjustment. He replaced Mark Wagner with Kuba and pushed Aubameyang to the front to play the forward.

Then, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Dortmund also launched several offensives, but unfortunately he met Leno, who was in excellent condition, and he returned in vain.

As the game time disappeared little by little, the score still remained unchanged. Dortmund's supporters were worried.

In the previous match against Bayern Munich, the home game was tied. This time, I will draw against Leverkusen?

This is absolutely unacceptable to them!

In fact, what is unacceptable is the Dortmund fans, and the Dortmund players themselves cannot accept it.

But no matter whether they accept it or not, reality will probably not be varied by their wishes.

The game time passes by minute by minute, but the score cannot be rewritten.

Seeing that the game was only ten minutes away, Dortmund decided to launch an attack desperately. But at this moment, an accident happened again!

In the 79th minute, midfielder Shahin sprained his ankle while landing in the top!

"My God..." Marcel Leif was stunned by Dortmund's bad luck in this game. "Is Dortmund cursed?"
