Start from 1999

Chapter 158 Ziegler and Santa Cruz
"Wow, this kid actually shot directly, from such a small angle, can he cover it?

Ismail looked back at his goal while thinking, but he was taken aback immediately. The ball bypassed goalkeeper Borrell’s fingers and flew towards the back post, but someone suddenly appeared from the crowd and slammed down the ball, and the ball went into the net!

Before Riedel could yell out, the Bayern fans took the lead in erupting.

"Ooooh, great, equalizer!"

"Well, well, keep playing like this, reverse Werder Bremen!"

"Great job! The goal was scored without saying anything! Hey, no, why hasn't the referee indicated yet?"

"Ah????, the linesman actually signaled an offside foul? Isn't Giovanni (Elber) superfluous?"

"Is the lineman blind?"

"Asshole! Someone wants to hack Bayern's champion!"

At first, the Bayern fans applauded the goal, but then it was discovered that the referee did not award the goal as valid.

Riedel understood it, and smiled meaningfully: "Elber did something bad with good intentions. This goal might have been scored if it hadn't been extra. It seems that the seasoned Bayern has also started to worry. This goal is a pity."

Seeing the flag raised by the linesman, the Bayern players' lungs exploded!

Elber was very excited, but the referee canceled his goal, so he rushed to the referee to question him.

"The ball is offside? Sir, how is this possible? I got out of the crowd!"

The referee shook his head and signaled Elber to go away, not to hinder himself from enforcing the law, and reached into his pocket. As long as Elber said one more word, the card would definitely be played.

Elber is also an old fritter, so he ran away when he saw this.

Elber is actually not wronged. The slow motion shows that at the moment Ziegler shot, Elber did stick out half of his body. If he didn't touch the ball, the ball would probably score. The Brazilian star is indeed superfluous.

After a joyful game, Bayern did not slow down, time was running out, Bayern soldiers knew that they had to get the score back as soon as possible, and then wait for an opportunity to win.

The ball was more scurrying around on the two sides, and Ziegler was particularly active.

In the 59th minute, Ziegler carried Baumann and squeezed into the Bremen penalty area. After stumbled, he suddenly shot a cold shot. The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the Bremen goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Bayern finally equalized the score. It was Alexander Ziegler who scored the goal. This Bayern substitute striker has been active since he came on the field. Now he has become a hero for Bayern. Bayern finally has a chance to come back to life. Let's look forward to a more intense attack." Riedel praised Ziegler passionately.

Ziegler felt so happy, I can't mention it.I have been in Bayern for so many years, and I have always been soy sauce. The grievances in Ziegler's heart are similar to those of Xianglin's wife, but there is no way, which name is not better than Elber or Bierhoff?
"Haha, it's up to me, you main players can't do anything, I Ziegler is the savior of Bayern!" Ziegler was ecstatic in his heart, and he made a kneeling celebration.

What greeted Ziegler was the cheers of the Bayern fans. Now it is less than 60 minutes, and Bayern still has a chance.

Hitzfeld off the court finally relaxed his old face. Ziegler always surprises him. Hitzfeld is already thinking about whether he should be corrected next season. By then, Bierhoff will be old. Ziegler and Elber's striker partner is also good. One is brave and invincible, the other is exquisite. With Ballack behind them, Bayern is still sharp in attack.

At the Wolfsburg Stadium, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg have no interest in fighting.

At this moment, Klopp walked up to Carl nervously and said, "Jerem, a goal was scored over there, and the score became 1:1."

"Hehe, Bayern really seems to have a solid background. Don't worry, even if they fail to win the championship this season, next season is still very promising. This Borussia Mönchengladbach team has matured, especially Nick. With Nick, we can be proud of the Bundesliga." Karl's mentality is relatively stable. In his opinion, winning the Bundesliga championship is a matter of course.

Klopp was also relieved. He glanced at the field and said, "Yeah, this group of young people is really good. Jerem, our hard work has not been in vain. As long as the club doesn't mess around, next season's champion will not be able to escape."

Huang Jian also interspersed with the scores of other games during the live broadcast: "The score has finally changed again. Ziegler scored a goal in the 59th minute on Bayern's side. Bayern equalized the score. Bayern and Borussia Mönchengladbach are now evenly divided, but Borussia Mönchengladbach's goal difference is obvious. If it ends according to this score, Borussia Mönchengladbach will win the silverware. Ziman scored with a header from a corner kick and rewritten the score to 58:0, but Chinese player Wei Jun’s team Bielefeld also scored, and the goal was our Chinese player Wei Jun, who scored from a distance of 1 meters from the Stuttgart goal. According to this score, Bielefeld will also successfully avoid relegation.”

Borussia Mönchengladbach's coaching staff is so relaxed, but Bayern's coaching staff is a bit on pins and needles.

After Bremen was equalized, they pressed aggressively. Elton and Klashnic have already had several chances to shoot.

Especially in the 63rd and 64th minutes, Elton broke through Link's defense twice in a row and shot two shots in the penalty area, both of which were extremely threatening. Fortunately, Kahn turned into Spider-Man today and blocked both shots.

Bremen's physical advantage was fully reflected at this time. During the confrontation, Bayern players tended to be abused.

Heathfield was old and cunning, and when the situation was not good, he quickly replaced him. Kufuor replaced Link, and Santa Cruz replaced Elber.

While ensuring the strength of the defense line, Hitzfeld has replaced a new force-Santa Cruz.

The Paraguayan striker is tall and strong, with good header and foot skills. Seeing that Bayern's current three lines are a bit out of touch, Heathfield simply replaced Santa Cruz and prepared to play high. With Erhoff and Santa Cruz, there are two high points in the frontcourt. Bayern still has a great chance of holding the ball.

Hitzfeld's substitution immediately received a miraculous effect.

In the 69th minute, Effenberg tackled Karagunis on the penalty area line, Kufuor rushed up and made a long pass, and the ball flew to Santa Cruz.The Paraguayan stood firmly in front of Ismail and unloaded the ball steadily.

Ismail pushed against Santa Cruz from behind to prevent him from turning around, but Santa Cruz, as a South American player, naturally has good skills. I saw him leaning on Ismail, and then suddenly pulled his nimbly foot, and the person also turned around and wiped past Ismail's left side.

This beautiful extraordinary made Bayern fans stand up excitedly. This is on the penalty area line. As long as Santa Cruz touches it, it is very likely to face the Werder Bremen goalkeeper directly.

Naturally, Ismail would not let Santa Cruz rush into the penalty area just like this. With a slight tug on his hand, Santa Cruz was knocked down to the ground.

'drop'!The referee's whistle blew.

"Oh my, Bremen fouled in a dangerous zone, let's see how the referee judged, oh oh my, it turned out to be a red card!" Riedel explained in surprise.

The referee rushed over, raised his hand and gave Ismail a red card, and awarded Bayern a free kick outside the penalty area.

"I'm dizzy, so this is a red card? You didn't even get a yellow card for the same move at Bayern just now. Sir, do you dislike me?" Ismail asked the referee reluctantly.

The referee's face was as cold as ice, and he didn't say a word, but his hands moved to tell Ismail to get out. This penalty is indeed a bit far-fetched, but it is also reasonable. After Santa Cruz passed, it was likely to be a one-handed goal, but Ismail was not the last person in Bremen's defense.

The Bremen players did not have any aggressive words or deeds. Bowman sneered and said: "Humph, it's needless to say, it must be because they don't want to let Borussia Mönchengladbach and the hillbillies win the championship."

"That's right, captain, we also tried our best. We will explain to the guys at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the future. It's just that people plan things, and God makes things happen. God doesn't let Borussia Mönchengladbach win the championship. That's something that can't be helped." Klasnich echoed.

But Elton said unconvinced: "Hmph, I don't believe that there is no way to take Bayern. I will give the ball to me when I have the ball. I will teach Bayern!"

"It's okay, you're awesome, fat brother, don't you want to go to Borussia Mönchengladbach next season to hug Nick's thigh?"

Karagounis smirked, and it was a joke. Karagounis knew Elton's temper. The Brazilian star really had the strength to refuse to admit defeat.

The Bayern players are all coming up. Free kicks on the penalty area line are rare. Ballack can shoot vigorously, and Deisler can attack them with a curved ball. This is definitely a good opportunity to score.

Barack and Deisler discussed for a while, and then they both took a few steps back.

When the whistle blew, Deisler moved first, but he just stepped on the ball lightly, and then Ballack rushed up from behind, shot a burst, and the ball went under the jumping wall and flew towards the goal.

Borrell's realization was already blocked, and Ballack's shot was so powerful, plus it was a ground ball. Borrell just fell to the ground to express it, and then watched the ball fly into the goal. 2:1, Bayern overtook the score.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal went in, it went in, it went in!" Riddle was really excited this time, and he roared endlessly, "Bayern overtook the score, Michael Ballack's strong volley, Bremen's wall was shaken by Sebastian, this goal is beautiful!"

The Olympic Stadium in Munich exploded with a bang, and the fans roared.

"Ahhh! Michael is so brave!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! This goal is so beautiful, Bayern is champion!"

"Champion champion! Bayern is invincible!"

"Haha, those bumpkins in Borussia Mönchengladbach are dumbfounded now!"

In the CCTV studio hall, Huang Jian was a little surprised and said: "Wow, Bayern's score has changed again. It's 2:1. Ballack scored and Bayern overtook the score. Now Bayern is the timely champion. According to this score, Borussia Mönchengladbach scored another 100 goals. It's useless. Bayern is really old-fashioned!"

Indeed, if Bayern wins, what Borussia Mönchengladbach does will make no sense.
