Yan Min's goal instantly turned Westfalenstadion into a sea of joy.

At this moment, everyone forgot about the chance he had missed against Arsenal.

Borussia Dortmund fans were happy, but Arsenal supporters were not at all pleased.

Yan Min scored in the eighty-second minute of the match. Even with stoppage time added, there were only eleven or twelve minutes left until the end of the game.

It wasn't impossible for Arsenal to equalize in the remaining time, but it was very difficult.

While the Borussia Dortmund players were celebrating the goal, the television broadcast repeatedly replayed Yan Min's goal, from his turn to shake off Sagna to the final shot, the whole process was completed in one go.

Yan Min, who came on as a substitute, had stamina and speed. Now that he had just scored, his form was definitely good. In the following time, if Arsenal wanted to equalize, they would have to strengthen their attack, but once they strengthened their attack, there would be more gaps behind them... If Borussia Dortmund launched a quick counterattack and Yan Min got the ball... Arsenal's goal would be in danger.

In fact, this was indeed the case. After the game restarted, Borussia Dortmund did not continue to press forward and besiege Arsenal's goal. Instead, they chose the opposite approach—they contracted their defense!

If Arsenal wanted to attack and equalize, then Borussia Dortmund would respond with defensive counterattacks. If Arsenal didn't come up to attack and didn't plan to equalize, then Borussia Dortmund would be happy to hold on to the one-goal victory.

Anyway, they also lost 1:2 to Arsenal away from home, so at least Borussia Dortmund didn't suffer when comparing the head-to-head record with Arsenal.

The problem was thrown to Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger.

Wenger stood on the sidelines, looking worried, and his frowning expression looked even more like the famous British comedy character "Mr. Bean".

But at this time, Arsenal fans in England couldn't laugh at all. They frowned like Wenger.

Attack or defend next?

After thinking for a while, Wenger made a decision: attack, but not with all his strength. While attacking, he didn't forget to defend.

This was a relatively conservative and prudent approach, which did not completely give up the hope of equalizing, but also did not go all out for the sake of equalizing.

However, this choice was a bit mediocre. If they couldn't go all out in the attack, the possibility of equalizing would be greatly reduced.

Wenger certainly knew the drawbacks of doing so. But now he had no better way.

He wanted to equalize, but he didn't want to lose by more.

He was very wary of Yan Min.

Through these two encounters, Yan Min's characteristics had been fully revealed. In Wenger's opinion, Yan Min's greatest characteristic was not his fast speed, nor his strong explosive power, nor his excellent dribbling ability, but his outstanding individual combat ability.

Yan Min was the kind of player who didn't need support and could use his personal ability to create trouble for his opponents even when he was surrounded.

This meant that he was the best candidate for counterattacks.

Borussia Dortmund was doing just that, or rather, Zhou Yi thought so.

So as long as he had the ball, he would give the ball to Yan Min as much as possible, and then he didn't care.

Yan Min would use his physical advantage and personal skills to dribble the ball towards Arsenal's penalty area time and time again. Even if he couldn't form a shot in the end, he could delay a little more time and prevent Arsenal's defenders from pressing forward completely, so they couldn't provide more support for the attacking players in front.

"We found a treasure..." assistant coach Željko Buvač murmured.

Klopp next to him grinned.

Of course, he knew that he had found a treasure. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on bringing this Chinese kid from China to Germany.

The young Yan Min certainly had many shortcomings, but those shortcomings could be corrected and changed little by little. What attracted him most was the shining points on Yan Min.

This young man was like Zhou Yi's feeling to him at the beginning, there were infinite possibilities in him...

※※※

Under Yan Min's constant harassment, Arsenal played very uncomfortably, feeling that they couldn't exert their strength.

And the game time didn't wait for them, going according to the fixed rhythm.

When the fourth official raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines, Arsenal had only three minutes left.

The score was still 2:1, Borussia Dortmund led at home.

Was three minutes enough for Arsenal to equalize?

In theory, of course, it was enough, but considering the actual situation... many people were not optimistic.

In the last three minutes, Arsenal went all out. Anyway, there was only so much time left, so it was better to go all out and give it a shot. What if they really created a miracle?

Just be careful of Borussia Dortmund's number thirteen when attacking.

So in the last moment of the game, Arsenal suddenly exerted their strength and set off a climax of attack.

But their attack did not break through Borussia Dortmund's goal. Instead, in the ninety-second minute, Borussia Dortmund seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

At that time, Zhou Yi got the ball in the backcourt and directly passed the ball with a diagonal long pass to Yan Min, who was wandering on the wing in front.

As soon as Yan Min received the ball, he faced the frontal defense of Arsenal players.

This time, Yan Min did not dribble the ball alone to break through forcefully, but after receiving the ball, he directly swept the ball to the center with his left foot.

Reus was following up in the center!

He was completely unmarked!

"Reus!" Marcel Reif shouted excitedly, "Does Borussia Dortmund have a chance to score another goal?!"

The Borussia Dortmund fans on the stands also jumped up, cheering for Reus desperately.

Reus, who received the ball, was in the penalty arc area outside the penalty area. At this time, he was already facing Arsenal goalkeeper Szczęsny alone.

Facing the attacking Szczęsny, Reus shot, and when his toe touched the ball, he gently picked it up, turning the shot into a spoon shot!

The ball passed over Szczęsny's head, and then fell behind him, falling into the goal behind him...

"3:1!!!! Reus! He secured the victory for Borussia Dortmund! And in the two-legged match, Borussia Dortmund surpassed Arsenal in the number of goals! This provides an advantage for the possible comparison of small scores in the future!" Marcel Reif shouted.

Reus's goal was definitely a surprise. Before, many people thought that beating Arsenal 2:1 was already good. This was a result that could make people happy.

Although the two sides were exactly the same in terms of head-to-head record, away goals, total score, total goals, and goal difference. But Borussia Dortmund supporters were already very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Reus's goal now brought them a new surprise—if they beat Arsenal 3:1, the two sides would have one win and one loss in the head-to-head record, and one away goal each, but Borussia Dortmund's goal difference would become one, while Arsenal's would be negative one. If they need to compare this small score in the end, Borussia Dortmund will surpass Arsenal with this goal difference advantage!

Maybe it is such a goal that determines who can advance to the knockout stage of the game?

Reus was also very happy after scoring the goal. He ran to Yan Min, who passed the ball to him, and then hugged him.

Other Borussia Dortmund players also ran up to participate in the celebration.

"Yan Min's performance after coming off the bench can be described as perfect!" He Ping's focus was not on Reus, nor on the score, but on Chinese player Yan Min. "One goal and one assist, his limelight even surpassed Zhou Yi, who also had one goal and one assist. What is even more gratifying is that after this game, Yan Min will get more opportunities to play for Borussia Dortmund. At that time, we will have more opportunities to appreciate his fierce performance!"

A Bundesliga team with two Chinese players gaining a firm foothold is what He Ping is most happy about.

At the same time, on the Chinese Internet, many Chinese fans were also cheering for Yan Min's outstanding performance.

As Chinese fans, of course, they hope that Chinese football can get better and better.

What is the sign of getting better and better? Of course, it is that more Chinese players can appear on the top European football stage and perform well.

These outstanding players will in turn promote the improvement of the Chinese national team's performance.

Everyone is already very familiar with the "Five Little Tigers". But a team can't always rely on Zhou Yi and the other four, right?

Everyone hopes to see more excellent players join them.

Yan Min appeared in such an expectation background. From the beginning of his joining Borussia Dortmund, he has attracted much attention. Also because of the attention, his words and deeds have caused a huge response among Chinese fans. His performance in the previous game against Arsenal and after the game can arouse everyone's heated discussion.

Now Yan Min's excellent performance has relieved many Chinese fans.

In less than a year, it will be the Brazil World Cup. The Chinese national team, which has already qualified for the Brazil World Cup, will participate in the World Cup for the second time. At this time, being able to have one more outstanding combat power will give fans more confidence in the Chinese team's prospects in next year's World Cup.

Moreover, Yan Min is still a striker that is not available in the "Five Little Tigers", which is simply the icing on the cake—Yan Min is the wings of the Five Little Tigers.
