Wolffahrt ran to the Bayern Munich goal and found Neuer leaning against the goalpost, hand pressed to his lower back.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Seems like a pulled muscle in my back…" Neuer replied.

Wolffahrt frowned.

He examined Neuer and confirmed that it was indeed a pulled muscle.

Then he took out a spray bottle, had Neuer lift his jersey, and sprayed the injured area.

While he was doing this, Neuer asked, "Doctor, can I continue the match?"

"What do you think?" Wolffahrt countered.

"I want to continue." Neuer said.

"I don't recommend it."

"But this match is important for us…" Neuer said anxiously.

"Of course, which is why I don't recommend it. What good do you think you'll be on the field? In your condition, you can barely lift your right hand. How are you going to save a shot?"

Neuer was silent.

He knew that if his body couldn't recover, staying on the field would be no help to the team, but a burden.

But he was unwilling to be taken off early in such an important match and be forced to watch from the sidelines.

The score was already 1-2, Bayern Munich was behind.

If, and he meant *if*, Bayern Munich ended up losing the match, he would be deeply frustrated by his injury.

But who could he blame for this injury?

He had given his all to save that shot, pulling a muscle in his back, and even then, paying that price, he still hadn't been able to stop the ball.

It was a failed save…

Neuer fell silent.

Wolffahrt turned and signaled to the bench for a substitution.

※※※

The Dortmund players, having finished celebrating, noticed the commotion in front of the Bayern Munich goal.

One glance and they understood.

Neuer was injured!

"Huh? How did he get hurt?"

"There wasn't any physical contact…"

Everyone was surprised, but some were also secretly pleased. Neuer had always been Bayern Munich's guardian, and his injury would definitely impact the rest of the match.

This impact was, of course, good news for Dortmund.

Then they saw Wolffahrt's gesture.

"A substitution?!"

"Neuer can't go on?!"

"What kind of injury is it? Is it that serious?"

The Dortmund players exchanged surprised glances as they headed back.

Even Zhou Yi was shocked. When he took the bicycle kick, he hadn't seen anything happen to Neuer, and when celebrating the goal, he hadn't paid any attention to Neuer's condition.

Now, suddenly seeing Neuer injured, he immediately thought about how far away he had been when he took the shot. How could he have gotten hurt?

Seeing Wolffahrt signal for a substitution, Großkreutz on the bench slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted, startling everyone around him: "I told you! I told you!"

The others stared at him, bewildered.

Still excited, Großkreutz explained, "I told you Zhou Yi was going to use magic! Didn't I? He not only scored a goal but also injured Neuer without any physical contact! How else can you explain it but witchcraft?!"

Hearing what Großkreutz said, and looking at the situation on the field, everyone thought there might be some truth to it.

If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence.

Zhou Yi had not only scored a goal, but also taken out the opponent's starting goalkeeper!

A double kill!

Thinking about Zhou Yi's unexpected actions in training and matches, they couldn't help but feel that Zhou Yi had many secrets…

They all secretly rejoiced that they hadn't offended Zhou Yi, otherwise, if he cast a spell on them, they would be finished!

Still in a state of extreme excitement, Großkreutz stood up, ran to the sideline, and waved his arms, shouting towards the Bayern Munich bench: "KO! KO! KO!!"

He was retaliating for what Thomas Müller had said in the tunnel.

At the time, Müller had praised Götze for KO-ing Großkreutz, humiliating him.

And now, it was Neuer who had been KO-ed by Zhou Yi, and compared to the former, Zhou Yi's was closer to the meaning of KO. At the same time, the importance of the players being KO-ed off the field was incomparable.

Although Großkreutz was a staunch Dortmund fan and disliked Neuer, a Bayern Munich player from Schalke 04, he admitted that in terms of importance to their respective teams, he was no match for Neuer.

So Zhou Yi being able to KO Neuer was much more impressive than Götze KO-ing himself.

Even though he was shouting so loudly, in such a noisy environment, no one could understand what he was saying, and might even mistake it for celebrating Dortmund's goal.

For example, Duan Xin jokingly teased Großkreutz: "Celebrating now? Großkreutz's reaction time is a bit too long, isn't it?"

But there were always people who could understand his actions.

Like Müller, who was sitting on the bench, he noticed Großkreutz's gesture.

Even if he couldn't hear it, anyone with half a brain could guess what he meant…

Müller, although annoyed, was helpless.

He couldn't run to the Dortmund bench and start a fight with Großkreutz, could he?

So he could only silently endure Großkreutz's humiliation and mockery.

Of course, his personal honor was not important at all. What was facing all the Bayern Munich players was a huge predicament and problem - starting goalkeeper Neuer was out, what were they going to do?

They had just conceded a goal, fallen behind again, and the starting goalkeeper was injured and had to be replaced. The second half had just begun, how were they going to play the rest of the match?

Many Bayern Munich players frowned.

On the sidelines, Bayern Munich's reserve goalkeeper, Lukas Raeder, was taking advantage of every moment to warm up.

In fact, he didn't have much time, because the goalkeeper was injured, so the game couldn't continue, and had to wait until the goalkeeper was in place before it could resume. It was impossible to let both teams stand on the field and wait for him to warm up for five minutes before continuing, right?

Generally speaking, the goalkeeper in the reserve squad has the lowest chance of playing, so many reserve goalkeepers do not always maintain the state of being ready to play. They basically watch the game from the bench. Other players are at least occasionally called by the coach to warm up to maintain body temperature, but reserve goalkeepers basically don't do this.

When the head coach arranges the reserve list, players in other positions will consider the tactical changes, only the goalkeeper position does not need to be considered, as long as there is such a person, it does not matter what the goalkeeper's strength is.

Especially those wealthy clubs with a strong starting goalkeeper, such as Real Madrid's Casillas in previous years, Juventus's Buffon, and Bayern Munich's current starting goalkeeper Neuer. The reserve goalkeepers of these clubs are very tragic, and basically rarely get to play. Occasional appearances are also in very unimportant games, more like a reward for the reserve goalkeeper's peace of mind on the bench without causing trouble in the club's locker room…

Lukas Raeder is such a tragic figure.

After transferring from the Schalke 04 u19 youth team to Bayern Munich in 2012, Raeder was the team's fourth goalkeeper at the time, ranked behind Neuer, Starke and Riedmüller.

Last summer, Riedmüller's contract with Bayern Munich expired, and he did not get a new contract. He left Bayern Munich and joined the German丙 league newcomer Holstein Kiel as a free agent. This made Lukas Raeder the third-ranked goalkeeper.

Although he has improved by one place in the order of appearances, this is simply meaningless in Bayern Munich.

Neuer's condition is very stable and he rarely gets injured. Even the second goalkeeper Starke has few opportunities to play, let alone Lukas Raeder, the third goalkeeper. You must know that his predecessor, the third goalkeeper Riedmüller, never represented the first team in an official game until he left Bayern Munich…

Originally, Raeder couldn't even make the reserve list on weekdays, and he played more in Bayern Munich's second team.

And he was not qualified to enter the squad for such an important game.

But just before this, Bayern Munich's second goalkeeper Starke tore the muscles of his right elbow joint in the last training session against Augsburg, and his season was over. So Raeder entered the squad for the last game against Augsburg.

And in this game, he was naturally able to enter the squad.

Although he has entered the squad, no one thinks that he will have a chance to play.

Who would have thought that fate would play such a big "joke" on him, Neuer, and the entire Bayern Munich team.

When Neuer was saving Zhou Yi's bicycle kick, he pulled a muscle in his back and could not continue the game and had to be replaced.

And Raeder will get his first chance to represent the first team in an official game since joining Bayern Munich!
