Chapter 450 Salvation for Kagawa

For Dortmund, a huge opportunity lies ahead.Not only has the numerical advantage been obtained, but there is also a penalty kick, which is an excellent opportunity to equalize the score.

If you can tie the score, you can turn the game around in one fell swoop.

However, for the penalty kicker, the pressure is also huge. Such a crucial penalty kick should naturally belong to Zhou Tiancheng.Klopp usually explained it in training.

Just as Zhou Tiancheng was about to walk to the penalty spot, Kagawa Shinji suddenly stopped him: "Zhou Sang..."

Zhou Tiancheng turned his head to look at him, Shinji Kagawa asked: "Can this penalty be given to me... Don't get me wrong, I don't want to steal credit, I just want a goal, I understand, the biggest contributor still you."

Of course Zhou Tiancheng knew what Kagawa Shinji was thinking, he just wanted to find an opportunity to vent his anger.But Zhou Tiancheng saw his hesitant tone, and asked him one more question: "Are you sure you can do it? Kagawa, taking a penalty kick seems simple, but it won't work if you don't have a firm heart."

Shinji Kagawa gritted his teeth: "I'm sure!"

He still has this confidence. In the Japanese team, he and Keisuke Honda are the regular penalty kickers, and they often stand on the penalty spot.

Standing in front of the ball, facing Szczesny with outstretched arms, Shinji Kagawa tried his best to volley the top corner of the goal.He concentrated all his depression about this game on this kick, followed his own thoughts, buried his head and volleyed hard.

Bang!
……

"Ah! It's too bad that Kagawa didn't score a penalty kick!" Marcel Leff exclaimed.

Kagawa was still in a daze and didn't react. He saw that the ball that had fallen behind him was covered again. This time, he shot directly into Arsenal's goal. Two reactions.

Shinji Kagawa immediately turned sadness into joy, turned his head and glanced back, when his eyes collided with Zhou Tiancheng again, a sense of gap flooded his heart.

Marcel Leif's eyes widened. As an excellent commentator, this scene showed his excellent ability to transform emotions. He breathed a sigh of relief almost instantly, and shouted with all his strength: "GOOOOOOAL!!! Zhou! It’s still him! It can only be him! He should take the penalty kick and insist on challenging everyone’s heartbeat, hahahaha! But this process is really exciting.”

The sudden turn of this kick drove the audience into a frenzy, but everyone didn't want to experience such excitement. In the eyes of most fans, such ups and downs are completely unnecessary.

"Zhou!!!! He is still amazing, but that Japanese is not good."

"Zhou must have deliberately given him this opportunity, and he also knew that he might miss the penalty. He was definitely prepared for the speed at the moment of rushing up to make up the shot. But next time, don't do it like this. There are no gentlemen on the court. "

Yang Cheng also raised his arms on the bench and shouted: "Xiangchuan is simply a fighter among the garbage, and Brother Cheng is awesome!"

Shinji Kagawa, who missed the penalty kick, couldn't believe himself. He looked at Zhou Tiancheng, worried that Zhou Tiancheng would blame him for taking the opportunity and failing to grasp it.But Zhou Tiancheng just walked up to him and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Kagawa, at least we are tied now. If you want to prove yourself, there are still opportunities in the second half. Don't worry about missed penalties. Even Baggio has it." When a life-and-death penalty is missed."

But in the midfield locker room, Klopp's attitude towards Kagawa was not so good.He said with a sullen face, "Xagawa, if Mario hadn't been injured, I really wanted to replace you. You wasted the chance to tie the score easily."

Zhou Tiancheng said beside him: "Boss..."

Klopp turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tiancheng, and then said to Kagawa: "You need to be as calm as Zhou. You can ask him how he scored more than [-] goals in a season."

"This is what I should do..."

As soon as Zhou Tiancheng opened his mouth, he was stopped by Xiangchuan: "Thank you, Zhou Sang, but you don't need to defend me. I didn't seize the opportunity. It was my fault. If I was wrong, I was wrong. There is no need for any excuses."

Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback for a moment. This was the first time he had seen such a straightforward self-criticism. He replied, "But I think no matter how big a mistake is, there is still a chance to make up for it. After all, there is still half time."

Shinji Kagawa couldn't help but wryly smiled, he really wanted to, but he had to have such an opportunity!
……

In the second half, Dortmund had a lot of opportunities, but Wenger removed Arteta from the starting midfielder and replaced Chamberlain, especially in the front of the penalty area. Arsenal, who had suffered a loss, no longer gave any opportunities. Central defender Mertesacker He even mentioned this position frequently, and his man-marking target was Zhou Tiancheng.He has a height of 1.9 meters [-], Arsenal is only such a strong man who can compete with Zhou Tiancheng in height and strength, and as a central defender, he should know how to defend more decisively.

Arsenal deliberately kept giving Dortmund set-pieces in the midfield area. This area is far away from the goal, which can cut the game scene into small pieces, so that Dortmund can't find a familiar rhythm.

As time went by, Wenger saw that Dortmund had all their members pressed into their own half to siege, so he simply removed the left winger Gervinho who had no performance today. He no longer dared to expect anything from the frontcourt counterattack. , A point that can defend the field is a victory.

And this goal seems to be very difficult...

Dortmund kept kicking high balls from both sides, Zhou Tiancheng and Lewandowski hit the goal, and the air defense siren continued to sound in front of Arsenal's goal. During this period, goalkeeper Szczesny became the main force on the field. MVP.

"Arsenal's defense is impenetrable. It seems that there is no problem with a draw at Westphalia. Although it is a pity, this will allow Arsenal to occupy a favorable position when they compete for the first place in the group. When it comes to London, Dortmund will definitely not let it go. So presumptuous."

Bob Clem was confident.However, just 2 minutes after he finished speaking, Kuba fired a powerful long shot after dribbling horizontally from the side, causing Szczesny to drop his hand. Zhou Tiancheng took the first step to bypass Mertesacker and came to the ball. In front of him, at this moment he is facing most of the empty doors.

"Ah! There it is! Zhou Tiancheng - lore!" Duan Xuan had already shouted out in advance.

Szczesny also gambled towards Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng raised his foot, but to everyone's surprise, he pushed the ball sideways to the back of the goal.

In this position, Kagawa Shinji rushed to the horse and easily smashed the ball into the goal.

"Kagawa! It's Kagawa! GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!"

"Although this goal is not difficult, it is a critical moment after all. This can be regarded as his redemption. He has to thank Zhou Tiancheng for his selflessness and giving him such a chance of redemption."

Duan Xuan stood in the position of a Chinese commentator and praised Zhou Tiancheng in different ways.
