Vol 5 Chapter 208: Suspense ending early?

During the intermission, Dortmund did not make more adjustments, and Klopp only praised the performance of his players without giving any other instructions.
In his view, Dortmund's overall performance in the first half was excellent. Although there was some slack in the back, Zenit St. Petersburg cannot really threaten Dortmund's goal, so he did not give more reminders.
After the start of the second half, neither side made a substitution adjustment.
Dortmund still has the upper hand and can't see what the Zenit St. Petersburg has to fight back.
But in the fifty-seventh minute, there was an accident on the court-Hulk chose to shoot after receiving a cross in the penalty area!
The football was hung over Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller and fell towards the goal. He was about to fly to the goal.
Schmelzer headed back to the goal line to push the football out.
"Oh! It's dangerous! Schmelzer rescues in front of the door..."
Marcel Leif’s words hadn’t been finished yet, but there was a dangerous situation in front of Dortmund’s goal-Schmelzer’s header did not push the football far, and the football fell under the control of Zenit players in St. Petersburg Next, the Argentine striker Langdon pulled the flying football to the goal on the left!
But the football hit the goal post and bounced back!
This time Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder Shatov rushed up and made a shot from the left foot!
There was no accident this time, the football flew into the goal against the right post!
"Ah ah! Zenit St. Petersburg pulled back a goal! After a series of three-footed shots in front of Dortmund, Zenit St. Petersburg finally scored! Now the score is 1:2, although Zenit St. Petersburg Still behind, but only one goal behind! The suspense of the game is back again!"
Huge cheers rang from the home court of Zenit St. Petersburg, and fans of Zenit St. Petersburg also survived the goal.
"Oh, Dortmund is a little slack, and there is something wrong with their back line. They even let St. Petersburg Zenit's players complete three consecutive shots..." He Ping sighed.

For the side who lost the ball, losing the ball is a very frustrating thing, and it affects the morale.
Zhou Yi shouted to his teammates just after losing the ball, while gesturing.
He kept raising his hands and pressing down, beckoning everyone to stay calm and don't panic.
They are still ahead of them, there is no need to chaos.
Although Zhou Yi does not wear the captain's armband, everyone views him as the core of leadership. At this time, after seeing Zhou Yi making such a gesture, they mostly settled down.
After the game restarted, Dortmund kicked off after losing the ball, and they launched a fierce attack on the goal of Zenit in St. Petersburg.
Zenit of St. Petersburg originally wanted to take advantage of the momentum of just returning a goal and make persistent efforts to equalize the score in a short time.
But not long after the game started, they found themselves unable to attack at all.
Because Dortmund's offensive is really too fierce...
They were quickly pressed back by Dortmund's offensive and contracted to defend at the front of the penalty area.
But even so, every St. Petersburg Zenit player participating in the defense still feels great pressure.
In the fourth minute of Zenit's goal in St. Petersburg, Dortmund launched a fruitful attack.
Zhou Yi made a direct pass from the front of the penalty area and passed the football to the forward full-back Piscek.
Piscek directly knocked back after receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area and passed it to Mark Wagner.
Facing the ball from Pishcek, Mark directly kicked the shot!
The football rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal against the turf. St. Petersburg Zenit's goalkeeper Lodkin was helpless with Mark's shot. Although he made a save, he was just walking through the field...
"The goal is scored! Dortmund scored a goal again! With Zenit St. Petersburg just pulling back a goal, Dortmund has widened the gap between the two sides to two goals!" He Ping was very happy.
He certainly hopes that Zhou Yi and Yan Min can go further in the Champions League.
In the UEFA Champions League knockout last week, He Ying's Paris Saint-Germain 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, there are two Chinese players who will make their debut. They are Yang Muge at Schalke 04, who play against Real Madrid. As well as Sun Pan in Chelsea, they challenge Juventus away.
Today's Champions League game day has become a carnival for Chinese fans.
In the past, they could only be a bystander, but now they can stay in it and devote themselves wholeheartedly. Not only to cheer for the teams they support, but also for Chinese players.

The two-ball lead was achieved very quickly again, but it did not make Dortmund easy for too long.
Because in the 68th minute, there was an accident on the court.
St. Petersburg Zenit's midfielder Faizulin dribbled through the ball. After entering the penalty area, he was intercepted by Pishcek. The two had a physical contact, and then Faizulin fell to the ground and lost control of the ball.
There was a huge booing in Petrovsky Stadium.
The referee also blew the whistle, and pointed to the penalty spot-this means the penalty!
"Penalty!?" He Ping was startled. "Damn……"
Pishcek did mention Faizulin, so there is nothing to say. He Ping was worried that Dortmund even made such a mistake in a good situation-originally leading two goals, he is now awarded a penalty. If the opponent gets a penalty, it will only lead by one goal...
If there was no Mark's goal just now, Dortmund will be equalized!
Piscek's foul is okay. No matter how reluctant the players in Dortmund must accept this result.
And not only was awarded a penalty, Piszick also received a yellow card for the foul, which laid a hidden danger for the Champions League knockout in Dortmund-the back line is stretched, if Piszick is due to accumulation If the yellow card is suspended, it may become a watershed for Dortmund's win and loss at a crucial time.
For Zenit in St. Petersburg, Hulk came to take the penalty.
Under the watch of tens of thousands of Zenit fans in St. Petersburg, he took a volley from the left foot and the football flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
"Hulk! A penalty kick! He took a goal for Zenit St. Petersburg! Now Zenit St. Petersburg is only one goal behind! It is not without chance!" The commentator of Russian TV was very excited.
Marcel Leif shook his head: "Even if Hulk converted the score to 2:3, it would not change the fact that Dortmund had three away goals. Even if St. Petersburg Zenit equalized the score, Dortmund also Occupies a huge advantage."
※※※
Hurker's goal gave Zenit Saint-Petersburg hope. Regardless of the three away goals scored by Dortmund, first they must equalize the score to be eligible to think more.
But soon, Dortmund gave them another blow.
In the 71st minute, just three minutes after Zenit St. Petersburg scored a penalty, Dortmund equalized the score!
At the time, after Royce broke the ball in the frontcourt, he divided the football to the right. Mark shot at a distance of 12 meters in front of the goal. The football flew into the far corner, 4:2!
"Mark Wagner—!" Marcel Leff yelled excitedly, "Dortmund returned in three minutes! Mark's goal helped them re-establish a two-ball lead! At the same time, Dortmund had four more With an away goal advantage, it can be said that Dortmund has already ended one round in advance, ending the suspense of the two rounds!"

At the 84th minute, Zhou Yi was replaced by Klopp with Mkhitaryan.
After locking 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, he will replace Zhou Yi in advance.
Zhou Yi is not dissatisfied, he also knows the team's problems, many players are injured, resulting in a sharp reduction in the thickness of the bench. The previous rotation system is not easy now. As the core, of course, you have to bear more responsibilities and pressure than before. In this way, in order to ensure that you are not injured, replacing yourself in advance is also for the purpose of protection.
The reason why Klopp chose to replace him at this time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ instead of replacing him after Mark just scored a goal, but also want to observe and observe to see if St. Petersburg Zenit still has the power to fight back .
As a result, judging from these few minutes of competition, Zenit St. Petersburg seems to know that they have lost the game and lost their fighting spirit.
At home, he trailed the opponent by two goals and allowed the opponent to score four away goals. They are not far from being eliminated.
After Zhou Yi was replaced, Zenit St. Petersburg did not take the opportunity to score another goal, they even have the desire to attack.
Dortmund is also happy on this side, they also do not want to attack. Four away goals are enough.
In this way, the final moment of the game came to an end with some kind of tacit understanding between the two sides.
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game in the 92nd minute, although there was still a minute before the actual injury stoppage time. But looking at the performance and status of the two teams, the last minute of injury time makes no sense...
