Chapter 208 Suspense of ending early?

During the halftime break, Dortmund did not make any adjustments, and Klopp only praised his players' performance without giving any other instructions.

In his opinion, Dortmund's overall performance in the first half was excellent. Although it was a little slack in the future, Zenit, St. Petersburg, could not really threaten Dortmund's goal, so he did not give any more reminders.

After the start of the second half, neither side made a substitution adjustment.

Dortmund still has the upper hand, and it is impossible to see how powerful Zenit in St. Petersburg has to fight back.

But in the 57th minute, an accident happened on the court - Hulk received a pick-up pass in the penalty area and chose to shoot!

The football was hung over Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller and fell towards the goal, and was about to fly into the goal.

Schmelzer, who returned to the goal line, headed the ball out.

"Oh! It's so dangerous! Save the danger in front of Schmelzer..."

Before Marcel Leif could finish his words, a dangerous situation occurred in front of Dortmund's goal - Schmelzer's header clearance did not push the football far, and the football still fell under the control of the Zenit player in St. Petersburg. Argentine scorer Longden kicked the flying football on the left and kicked the goal!

As a result, the football hit the post and bounced back!

This time, Saint Petersburg Zenit midfielder Shatov rushed up and shot with his left foot!

This time, there was no accident again, and the football flew into the goal against the right post!

"Ahhhhh! St. Petersburg Zenit scored a goal! There was a melee in front of Dortmund's goal. After three consecutive shots, St. Petersburg Zenit finally scored! The score is 1:2. Although St. Petersburg Zenit is still behind, he is only one goal behind! The suspense of the game comes back all of a sudden!"

Huge cheers rang out at home in St. Petersburg Zenit, and fans of St. Petersburg Zenit also came alive with the goal.

"Oh, Dortmund is a little relaxed. There is something wrong with their defense line, which actually allowed the players of Zenit from St. Petersburg to complete three consecutive shots..." He Ping sighed.

For the loser, losing the ball is a very frustrating thing and affects morale.

After losing the ball, Zhou Yi shouted at his teammates and made gestures at the same time.

He kept lifting his hands and pressing them down, indicating that everyone should be calm and not panic.

They are the ones who are leading now, so there is no need to lose their composure.

Although Zhou Yi did not wear the captain's armband, everyone regarded him as the core of the leader. At this time, after seeing Zhou Yi make such a gesture, they would calm down.

After the game restarted, Dortmund kicked off after conceding the ball, and they launched a fierce offensive to the goal of Zenit in St. Petersburg.

Zenit, St. Petersburg, originally wanted to take advantage of the momentum of winning back the ball and continue to work hard to equalize the score in a short time.

But not long after the game started, they found that they could not make it.

Because Dortmund's offensive is too fierce...

They were quickly suppressed by Dortmund's attack and contracted at the front of the penalty area to defend.

But even so, every St. Petersburg Zenit player who participated in the defense still felt tremendous pressure.

Just in the fourth minute of the goal from Zenit in St. Petersburg, Dortmund launched a fruitful attack.

Zhou Yi made a straight pass from the front of the penalty area and passed the football to the forward full-back Pisczek.

Piszczek received the ball from the right side of the penalty area and knocked back directly, passing it to Mark Wagner.

Facing the ball from Piszczek, Mark directly pushed the ball!

The football rolled into the lower left corner of the goal against the turf. Zenit, St. Petersburg, goalkeeper Lodkin, was powerless to do anything about Mark's shot. Although he made a save, it was just a motionless move...

"The ball is in! Dortmund scored again! When Zenit, Saint Petersburg, just scored a goal, Dortmund widened the gap between the two sides to two goals!" He Ping was very happy.

Of course, he hopes that Zhou Yi and Yan Min can go further in the Champions League.

In the Champions League knockout match last week, Paris Saint-Germain, where He Ying was located, defeated Leverkusen 4-0 away. He Ying scored a goal in the game and performed well.

In this week's Champions League, in addition to Zhou Yi and Yan Min, two Chinese players will make their debut, namely Yang Muge at Schalke 04, who will face Real Madrid at home, and Sun Pan at Chelsea, who will challenge Juventus away.

Now the Champions League day has become a carnival for Chinese fans.

In the past, they could only be a bystander, but now they can be in it and devote themselves to it. They are not only cheering for the teams they support, but also cheering for Chinese players.

The two-goal lead was quickly again, but it did not make Dortmund relax for too long.

Because in the 68th minute, an accident happened on the court.

St. Petersburg Zenit midfielder Faizulin dribbled the ball and encountered an interception from Piszczek after entering the penalty area. One of the two had physical contact. Then Faizulin fell to the ground and lost possession.

A huge boo sounded in the Petrovsky Stadium.

The referee also blew the whistle and pointed his finger at the penalty spot - this is the meaning of the penalty!

"Punishment!?" He Ping was startled. "Oh..."

Piszczek did mention Faizulin, there was nothing to say about this. He Ping was worried that Dortmund had made such a mistake under the good situation - he was originally led by two goals, but now he was awarded a penalty. If the opponent gets in, he will only lead by one goal...

If Mark hadn't scored just now, Dortmund would have been equalized!

There is no problem with Piszczek's foul. No matter how reluctant the Dortmund players are, they must accept this result.

And not only was he awarded a penalty, Piszczek also received a yellow card for this foul, which laid a hidden danger for Dortmund's Champions League knockout stage - the defense line is short of people. If Piszczek is suspended due to accumulating yellow cards, it may become a watershed between Dortmund's victory and loss at the critical moment.

In the face of Zenit, Saint Petersburg, Hulk came to take the penalty kick.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans of Halloween Petersburg, he volleyed his left foot and the football flew into the upper right corner of the goal.

"Hulke!! The penalty kick came in! He scored a goal for St. Petersburg Zenit! Now St. Petersburg Zenit is only one goal behind! It's not that there is no chance!" The commentator of Russian TV station was very excited.

Marcel Lef shook his head: "Even if Hulk's penalty kick changed the score to 2:3, it cannot change the fact that Dortmund has three away goals. Even if St. Petersburg Zenit equalized the score in the end, Dortmund has a huge advantage."

※※※

Hulk's goal gave St. Petersburg Zenit hope. Regardless of the three away goals of Dortmund, they must equalize the score so that they can think more.

But soon, Dortmund gave them another blow.

In the 71st minute, just three minutes after Zenit scored a penalty in St. Petersburg, Dortmund equalized the score!

At that time, after Reus intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, he divided the football to the right. Mark shot twelve meters in front of the goal, and the football flew into the far corner, 4:2!

"Mark Wagner-!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly, "Bortmond retaliated in three minutes! Mark's goal helped them reestablish the lead of two goals! At the same time, Dortmund has four away goals. It can be said that Dortmund has already ended the suspense of the two-round game one round ahead of schedule!"

In the 84th minute, Zhou Yi was replaced by Klopp with Mkhitaryan.

After seizing the victory, let Zhou Yi rest as much as possible. This is Klopp's current strategy. As long as he is basically sure to win the game, no matter what the game is, he will replace Zhou Yi in advance.

Zhou Yi was not dissatisfied with it. He also knew the current team's problems. Many players were injured, which led to a sharp reduction in the thickness of the bench. The previous rotation system is not easy to do now. As the core, he must of course bear more responsibilities and pressure than before. In this way, in order to ensure that he is not injured, replacing himself in advance is also for the purpose of protection.

The reason why Klopp chose to replace him at this time instead of replacing him after Mark scored the goal was to observe and see if Zenit, St. Petersburg, still has the power to fight back.

As a result, judging from the match in these few minutes, Zenit, St. Petersburg, seemed to know that they had lost their defeat and lost their fighting spirit.

In his home court, he was two goals behind the opponent and allowed the opponent to score four away goals. How can they be calculated that they are not far from being eliminated?

After Zhou Yi was replaced, Zenit, St. Petersburg, did not take the opportunity to score another goal, or something. They even had the desire to attack.

Dortmund is happy with this, and they don’t want to attack anymore. There are enough goals in four away games.

In this way, the last moment of the game came to an end with some tacit understanding between the two sides.

The referee blew the whistle to the end of the game in the 92nd minute. Although it was one minute before the end of the real injury stop time. But looking at the performance and condition of the two teams, the last minute of injury stop time was meaningless...
