Champion’s Heart

? Facing Real Madrid’s aggressive offensive, Dortmund appeared very patient.

Dortmund's defense has been excellent in the past two seasons, and it has been the team with the fewest goals conceded in the Bundesliga for two consecutive seasons. Defensively, this team has experience.

Although Real Madrid's offensive firepower was fierce, it did not panic the Dortmund players.

When unable to attack, Zhou Yi also actively devoted himself to defense. He used his understanding of the overall situation to always be able to get stuck in key positions, forcing Real Madrid's offense to redirect.

So despite Real Madrid's fierce offensive, they were not able to break the deadlock and score goals.

However, in the 28th minute, Zhouyi sent a long pass from the backcourt. Lewandowski headed the ball back. Royce stepped in and received the ball. He dribbled the ball to the edge of Real Madrid's penalty area and decisively Shoot them.

The football stuck to the turf and headed towards the far corner of the goal.

Casillas was beyond his reach. Although he made a save, he did not touch the ball. He could only watch the football rub the inside of the goal post and roll into the goal...

Oh oh oh!! Marcel Leif shouted excitedly, Reus! Reus! He captured the Bernabeu! Dortmund took the lead even though the situation was extremely unfavorable to them! This It was Dortmund who scored the first goal in the game! It’s really a bit... surprising!”

The Spanish commentator fell into silence because the scene was really... embarrassing. Before Dortmund scored, the game lasted twenty-eight minutes, and they only had two shots. How many shots did Real Madrid take? Seven times, almost four times as many as Dortmund.

All Real Madrid fans are waiting for the moment when Real Madrid scores a goal so they can cheer heartily. But what they were waiting for was a goal from their opponent!

This is really a typical example of revenge instead of rebellion...

When Royce called on his teammates to celebrate the goal, the Real Madrid players next to him looked confused. This may be more difficult for them to accept than falling behind on the road.

Because this is their home court, when they were beaten by Dortmund in the away game, the belief that supported them was go back home and kill you.

Every Real Madrid player believes that as long as they are at the Bernabeu, they will be invincible.

With no disadvantages, isn't winning Dortmund a piece of cake?

But when they really returned to their home court, the situation was different from what they imagined...

It was Dortmund who scored first!

This goal simply shook their faith.

Didn’t we agree that I will be the master of my territory? Why is it different from what was promised?

Marcel Leif lamented: “Now I don’t know whether to say that the German team is Real Madrid’s nemesis, or that Dortmund is Real Madrid’s nemesis…Now this Dortmund team feels more mature than last season. Both the tactical choices and the execution of the players are better. Since returning to the Champions League two seasons ago, their progress can be seen by everyone. This is really a lovable young team. The team, the energy and progress they exude is so fascinating!”

Marcel Leif speaks highly of Borussia Dortmund but no one will think he is bragging.

Because Dortmund really deserves such praise.

Two seasons ago, when Dortmund met Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, they lost 1:4 at the Bernabeu and had almost no power to fight back. At that time, Real Madrid at home was like an insurmountable mountain to them, which was impossible to conquer.

That season, they were knocked out by Real Madrid, not unjustly at all.

Now, when the two teams meet again, Dortmund has undergone radical changes and grown rapidly. Defeating Real Madrid 2:1 at home, facing Real Madrid's fierce attack away from home, they were able to score the first goal.

After experiencing the pain of just conceding a goal, the Real Madrid players finally adjusted. They realized that it was only twenty-eight minutes, there was still time in the game, and they could still make a difference.

After the restart, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal.

It can be seen that the intensity of this offensive is far greater than before they lost the ball.

Real Madrid finally equalized the score with a corner kick in the 34th minute.

The person who scored the goal was their center back Pepe. He jumped high in the penalty area, got ahead of Hummels and Subotic, and pushed the football into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

When the ball flew into the Dortmund goal, the Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu stands burst into loud cheers.

The Spanish commentator shouted like a chicken blood: Good goal! Pepe! He is a real Real Madrid man! When Real Madrid needed him, he stood up! This is the Bernabeu! Here, Even if the team occasionally encounters difficulties, the atmosphere at the Bernabeu will always allow them to overcome them!

After losing the ball, Klopp rushed to the sidelines, clapped his hands and shouted to his players: It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter even if the ball is lost!

After all, Dortmund is only tied with Real Madrid now, so there is really no need to panic if they lose this goal.

Before this game, the goal set by Klopp's coaching staff for the team is to win from the Bernabeu with a draw. If it can still win, it is simply a fluke. Practically speaking, a draw is more likely to happen. So if it is really a 1:1 draw in the end, for Klopp, he can completely grin his big mouth and leave the Bernabeu with a smile.

Dortmund's players also knew this very well, so they did not appear frustrated or in pain after losing the ball.

When playing at the Bernabeu, you must be mentally prepared for Real Madrid to score. At this time, we can see how crucial Royce's goal just now was. Without Reus' goal, Real Madrid's goal would have caused Dortmund to fall behind, but now it is just a tie.

The mentality of Dortmund players is completely different from falling behind. Different mentality led to different performances, so after the game restarted, facing Real Madrid, whose morale was boosted by the equalizer, Dortmund's defense was still very solid.

In addition to adding some shots within or outside the goal frame, Real Madrid was unable to rewrite the score.

Seeing that the first half is coming to an end, the two sides will enter the halftime break with a score of 1:1, and everything will be just like the last game between the two sides.

Even Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho habitually left the stadium early, walked directly into the tunnel, and walked away. This is his habit, and although I don't know why, he does sometimes leave early before halftime is over.

The TV broadcast also gave a special shot to Mourinho who left the game early. His erratic behavior, like his character, has become a label for his identity and a topic that people talk about.

When Mourinho had just left the field, Real Madrid ended an attack and possession of the ball fell to Dortmund, or to be precise, to Dortmund player Zhou Yi.

This time, Zhou Yi did not directly kick the football to the frontcourt like the first ball. He controlled the football and began to advance forward by passing it on the ground.

One minute of injury time in the first half. For Dortmund, this may be their last chance to attack with the ball in the first half. Of course, they must control the football at their feet. Even if the offense fails, it will not be easy. Give up the possession of the ball. He Ping affirmed Zhou Yi's approach.

Dortmund slowly pushed the football to Real Madrid's thirty-meter zone, where they also encountered stubborn resistance from Real Madrid's defense.

Facing Real Madrid's tenacious defense, Dortmund was not in a hurry and passed the football sideways. Anyway, even if they spend all their last minute in this way, they don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Again, a draw is perfectly acceptable.

When Zhou Yi caught the ball again, it was already 45 minutes and 46 seconds into the first half, and there were still more than ten seconds left before the injury time of the first half ended.

When Zhou Yi caught the ball, he turned his head and looked to his right, as if he was observing the space there and preparing to pass the football.

This made the Real Madrid player Ozil in front of him slightly shift his center of gravity to that side, but just when he shifted his center of gravity, he realized that there was a problem, because Zhou Yi could be a fake move!

Sure enough, just when he shifted his focus, Zhou Yi took the football from his other side!

This sudden touch completely disrupted Real Madrid's defense arrangement. Their previous energy was focused on Mark, Lewandowski and Royce, and they were wary of Zhou Yi passing the football to these people.

Zhou Yi was not prepared enough to break through with the ball.

Later, Zhou Yi fully demonstrated his change in rhythm in this breakthrough.

After just breaking through and attracting the attention of the Real Madrid players, the Real Madrid defenders naturally rushed towards him. Prevent him from continuing to break into the penalty area.

But at this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly chose to shoot. Just when he was about to enter the penalty arc, Zhou Yi decisively took a shot!

Arbeloa flew in and tried his best to block Zhou Yi's sudden long shot. He is the person in Real Madrid's defense who reacts fastest to the ball.

But sometimes, not being quick to respond is a good thing.

He kicked the football and it hit the tip of his upturned shoe. There was no change in direction, it was still flying in the original direction, but there was a change in height - the football jumped.

This jump happened to go over the body of Casillas, who had fallen to the ground to save the ball.

Because he was blocked, his speed weakened, and he slowly fell towards the goal behind Casillas. It looked as if anyone could stop the ball, but no one could do it. Everyone seemed to have been cast by petrification magic, standing still and watching the football... fly into the goal!

This...ahhhhh! Marcel Leif was surprised at first and didn't know what to say, and then he suddenly shouted and woke up as if from a dream. The goal is in! Zhou Yi! At the end of the first half, his cold shot helped Dortmund take the lead! The birth of this goal is so unexpected! (To be continued.)
