Grass roots glory

Chapter 497 Is This Champion Predestined?

The domestic Internet has already exploded before the end of the game. Before the game, Real Madrid fans’ self-deprecating comments were put on the top. This is the time when everyone makes fun of the super giants, and even Real Madrid fans are happy to join it .

"Nimma, I won't buy my group again next time. What kind of galaxy battleship? It's obviously a fucking broken ship. What's Zhou Tiancheng, a super rich man, why can't even a Chinese do it?"

"The landlord is betting on the dog, hurry up and whip the corpse, and everyone will follow."

"On the first floor, haven't you noticed that the host has added a dog's head?"

"The landlord can relax hahaha. The goal of the Royal Circus is to reach the top [-] of the Champions League. This has already gone a step further, and we can't ask too much."

Domestic Real Madrid fans and Dortmund fans expressed their emotions by blackmailing themselves and each other. Such a relaxed atmosphere also proves that few people are worried about the final result of this round.At home this season, Dortmund only had one draw and one loss in the league, and they still have a complete victory in the Champions League.

Although Mourinho stubbornly declared in the post-match press conference that there is no problem with going to the away game in the second round: "For Real Madrid, the biggest problem is whether we can do well. We did not do well in today's game, but The same mistake will never happen to a team like ours again! Europe's No. [-] devil home? Very good, the devil needs to be conquered! When we conquer, he will no longer be so scary."

But no one really took his words seriously. How could a "madman" be someone who easily surrendered?Never hear a word of resignation from him unless you have the ultimate truth before you!
But the reporters don't mind Mourinho saying this at all, which indicates that the excitement of the second round can definitely be guaranteed.

Although Dortmund can ignore Mourinho's provocation, the second round in two weeks is imminent.Especially the last two weeks have been double matches a week.In the weekend's league, Dortmund beat Cologne 6:1, and then they will face the semi-finals of the German Cup.The second half of the season is approaching, and the three lines have entered a very critical node.Fortunately, the opponent in the semi-finals of the German Cup is not strong. Dortmund's opponent is Fürth.The current leader of the Bundesliga has a great chance to become the newly promoted Bundesliga next season.

Being able to reach this stage, under the background that all German Cups are single-game decisive games, Dortmund cannot tolerate a little negligence, but they are still lucky, at least compared to Bayern's opponent Borussia Mönchengladbach on the other side. No matter what the team said, it should be easier to deal with.

In Klopp's starting lineup, except for Zhou Tiancheng, the rest are the regular main lineup.The opponents are not strong, so Klopp thinks it is necessary to give Zhou Tiancheng some rest opportunities, followed by Bayern and Schalke 04, as well as more difficult games in the Champions League.Only in this match, there are conditions to give him a certain amount of rest time.Shinji Kagawa replaced him in this game.

But this opponent is not easy to chew.Fürth's head coach is former Schalke assistant coach Mike Biskens. He specially arranged a 3-5-2 starting system, requiring counter-attacks on the spot and long-ball counterattacks. He is naturally quite familiar with Zhou Tiancheng , This was originally a tactic used to deal with Zhou Tiancheng, but Zhou Tiancheng was sitting on the bench, and Fürter's players saw that they were facing Shinji Kagawa, and they immediately became excited.

This doesn't seem to be the big man the coach said, but he is also an oriental face, but with such a thin and small physique... Hehehe!

Originally meeting an opponent like Dortmund was enough to make them excited, but now Fürth's two 1.8-meter-[-] midfielders are directly carrying Shinji Kagawa with his own body.Although Shinji Kagawa stepped up his physical training after coming to the Bundesliga, his upper limit of physical fitness determines that he cannot become a player like Zhou Tiancheng.The advantages and disadvantages of Japanese players are very clear, with outstanding skills at their feet, but their physical condition is the biggest shortcoming.

So after the opening, Dortmund did not gain much advantage. The two sides had offense and defense with each other. Shinji Kagawa's too frequent conceding of the ball affected Dortmund's offense.

After the opening 10 minutes, Dortmund had their first shot.

After that, Dortmund accelerated the passing rhythm and gradually took advantage of the field, but there was only one real threatening shot in the first half. No. In the 301st minute, Kagawa received a pass from Kuba's left, and then put in a header five meters in front of the goal.

Klopp was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half. In the No. 60 two minutes of the second half, Zhou Tiancheng came on and replaced Shinji Kagawa.

Seeing the main player on the field, Fürth's players surrounded Zhou Tiancheng one by one as if they had been spat out. They defended Zhou Tiancheng in a more thorough way. They clearly knew that there was a gap in ability, so every time they defended, they rushed to block him. Down for the target.

Fürth's defense focuses on set-piece defense after a foul. They are not afraid of Zhou Tiancheng's ability to score goals from set-pieces, because they will never let Zhou Tiancheng take the ball and advance to the front of the penalty area-even if he is without the ball. In the case of running, some people brought him down directly when he was about to approach the penalty area.

Fürth players didn't care at all about the referee showing him a yellow card. For them, being able to stop Zhou Tiancheng from approaching the penalty area was a success.Anyway, there is no tendency to intentionally hurt them. They believe that the referee dare not punish them one by one.

Dortmund's established tactics were completely destroyed, attacking around the opponent's penalty area, and had the advantage of the scene. Until the end of 4 minutes of stoppage time in regular time, the score was still 0:0.

Klopp has already used two substitutions. Lewandowski played in stoppage time. The team changed to 4-4-2. Overtime adopted a simpler and more direct offensive, which did not have the slightest effect. The ball once It was destroyed one after another.

The first half of the overtime period ended, and the score remained unchanged until 1109 minutes into the second half. Biskens had replaced the third goalkeeper Fejic in the team. We all know that if a team has three goalkeepers in reserve, The role of the third goalkeeper is often to deal with penalty shootouts.

At this time, Klopp also played the last card, and Gundogan came off the bench.

However, a miraculous scene appeared 1 minute after Gundogan played. On 1 minutes, Gross Kreutz made a cross from the left line of the penalty area. Substitute midfielder Gundogan quickly took a low shot with his right foot from 10 meters away, and the ball hit After the left goal post, Fejic, who fell to the ground to save, rebounded into the back of the net.

The real lore!The moment the ball hit the net, the referee blew the final whistle.

"GOOOOOOOAL!!! Ilkay Gundogan! He beat Fürth and brought Dortmund to the final. Next up is Bayern again... Ha! Maybe Dortmund have already booked the title. This will This is Zhou's third consecutive DFB-Pokal final, and against Bayern, he is already familiar with the game and has rich experience!"

Marcel Leff accidentally told the truth, without any scruples that the game was broadcast live across the country.
