Vol 5 Chapter 304: Fight

After the game entered the tug of war, although both sides had opportunities, in general, Leverkusen prevailed. After all, they lead the score, both mentality and morale, will be better than Dortmund.
But Dortmund is also tenacious.
In the 28th minute, when Yan Min broke through on the left, he first moved to the bottom line, but suddenly he cut in.
Leverkusen defender Roberto Hilbert, who was defending him, wanted to turn around to intercept. It was too late, and he forced him to pull Yan Min down.
Dortmund received a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.
Royce is away and Sahin takes the free kick.
Dortmund's central defender ran to the opponent's goal, which was like a corner kick with a shorter distance and a larger angle.
Then Sahin drew the football and went straight to the goal.
In the process, Gross Kreuz advanced the ball in front of the football, then jumped up and headed back!
He rubbed the football towards the goal!
The rubbing behind the header was suddenly too concealed. Goalkeeper Leno was disturbed. When the football flew over, he made a save but it was too late...
Football just flew into Leverkusen's goal!
"Grosskreuz!" Marcel Leff exclaimed excitedly. "Grosskreuz, he evened the score for Dortmund! Tenacious Dortmund! They are not willing to concede defeat on the road!"
As soon as Gross Kreuz scored a goal, Klopp jumped up and shouted.
Zhou Yi also rushed out of his seat with excitement. Since he played the main role in Dortmund, he has not entered the starter like this, and has only had to sit on the bench to watch the game.
He used to celebrate with his teammates on the court when he scored goals, but now he can only cheer with his teammates.
But Zhou Yiding doesn't care about this. He only cares about the team's performance, and seeing Dortmund equalize the score, he is happy for the team.
※※※
But Zhou Yi was not happy for long. In the thirty-fourth minute, Leverkusen made a quick counterattack, and the backcourt passed directly to the frontcourt.
Kiessling crossed the header after heading in the frontcourt and gave Sun Xingmin who cut in the slash.
Sun Xingming used his right foot to smooth the football that came by and then drove the ball to Dortmund's penalty area.
In the face of the frontal interception of Dortmund's two defensive players, Sun Xingming noticed Brant inserted on the right side, so he drew laterally and continued to attract Dortmund's defensive attention while allowing Brant to insert.
At the right time, he passed the football pass to Brant.
At the same time, Dortmund's defenders also desperately returned to the defense and ran to Brant to block his shot.
But Brant didn't shoot, he didn't even stop the ball, just passed the football to the back point!
The football bypassed the heads of three Dortmund players from the air and flew to the empty place behind.
Castro plugged in the back, facing the ball from Brent, he chose to head the ball directly!
The football passed by Weidenfeller, who hurried back, and Weidenfeller rushed to the near corner, but the football flew from his foot into the far corner of the goal...
"Castro! Leverkusen took the lead again! Five minutes after Dortmund equalized the score, Leverkusen scored again! It seems that this game Leverkusen is a must in his own home Ah! They must win!" Marcel Leif said. "In addition, at this time, I don't know if Bayern Munich is paying attention to this game..."
※※※
Of course Bayern Munich is paying attention to this game. After the coach arrived at the hotel, Bayern Munich's coaching staff quickly got into the head coach Guardiola's office.
When Dortmund equalized, the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressed.
Fortunately, Leverkusen struggled and quickly equalized the score.
The atmosphere in the room has eased a lot and everyone can chat.
"This match played beautifully..."
"Yeah yeah, Brant's direct pass is crucial, completely hitting the Dortmund defenders caught off guard!"
Everyone analyzed the goal on the basis of the goal replay, it was like explaining the guests.
"I don't know if Klopp regrets making Zhou Yi sit on the bench..." someone sighed.
At this time, the TV broadcast also gave Zhou Yi a close-up shot.
Zhou Yi in the camera sits in his place without expression.
Can't see his inner thoughts at all.
This disappointed those who wanted to see him anxiously.
※※※
Just equalized the score and lost the ball again, which of course will hit Dortmund.
But Dortmund's players were not scared by this blow.
They still remember how Klopp said to them before the game: "...in my opinion, no one is an indispensable character of the team, because all of you are indispensable! We are one Overall, we were able to win the league championship and the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, not by a single person, but by unity. So I made some adjustments to the lineup in this game, and it means that I look down on Lever Kusen, it’s not that I want to give up the league. Because I believe you, you are also players of Dortmund!"
These words gave Dortmund players great confidence and fighting spirit.
Of course Zhou Yi is the core of the team, but as the coach said, they are also players of Dortmund, and they have also put in effort and sweat for the championship of Dortmund,
If Zhou Yi is the most shining figure at the tip of the pyramid, then they are the cornerstone of the pyramid. Without them, the spire cannot exist at all. What good is it to shine again?
This game is an opportunity for them to prove themselves.
Zhou Yi did not start, if they really let Leverkusen suppress it, does it mean that everyone except Zhou Yi is useless?
With such a thought, the backward Dortmund is fighting harder.
In the thirty-seventh minute, Yan Min switched to the right to cross and he passed the football to Leverkusen's penalty area.
Mark jumped up in the penalty area to grab the spot, and the man who fought with him was Leverkusen defender Hilbert.
But when Hilbert jumped up to fight for the top, he raised his arm. It was this raised arm that hit the flying football!
"Handball!" Duan Xin exclaimed.
At the same time, Mkhitaryan beside him also raised his arm and motioned for Hilbert's handball!
This handball is very obvious, there is no obstruction nearby, the referee is next to it, you can see at a glance.
He immediately whistled and suspended the game.
"Hilbert handballed during the fight... Is this a penalty?" Marcel Leif wasn't sure yet, and saw the referee point the finger at the penalty spot. "Yes, it was a penalty! Dortmund got a penalty! Three minutes after being scored by Leverkusen, Dortmund got a penalty! This is really good luck!"
Hilbert defended himself: "This is a ball hitter, I didn't mean it..."
The head referee made an open arm gesture to him, indicating that he had just opened his arm. This is the key basis for punishment. If he clamps his hands, even if the ball hits his hand, he will not be awarded a penalty, because the practice of clamping the arm can be said to be an important evidence that the player does not have a penalty. This is why many players will put their hands behind their backs when they pass the ball defensively. Although it is difficult to maintain balance, at least there will be no time when the arms are raised to maintain balance. They are hit by football and the result is a penalty. Ball situation...
Slow motion also replayed from multiple angles, proving that the referee's penalty was correct.
If Hilbert does not touch football, then Mark will hit the football, and he hits the football near the penalty spot, which will pose a great threat to Leverkusen's goal.
Hilbert's handball is too obvious to be refuted.
Although the Leverkusen players were depressed, they couldn't reverse the case.
You can only accept this penalty.
But Dortmund's players were a little bit unwilling, Mark found the referee, hoping to give Hilbert another yellow card.
But the head referee shook his head and refused this request~EbookFREE.me~ It wasn't intentionally handball, it was enough to give a penalty, and it would be too much to get a yellow card...
The penalty scored by Dortmund was given to Mark to take the penalty. He now scores seventeen league goals, one goal away from Lewandowski, the top scorer.
Mark, who had set the football, waited for the referee to blow the whistle.
Then he started running, when he hit the football, there was a slight upward movement of the toes, and the football was picked up by him!
Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno flung to the right, but Mark knew that he kicked a penalty kick!
The football drew a parabola and flew into the goal from the middle!
"Mark! Mark!!! Beautiful spoon penalty! He evened the score for Dortmund again! This is also his eighteenth league goal of the season! He tied Lewandowski, the two were It’s on the league’s top scorers list!
