Chapter 815 Thief

Third minute of extra time, ninety-third minute of the entire match, Dortmund launched an attack. When Mark turned to shoot in the penalty area, he was interfered with by Reus, and the football went over the crossbar.

In the ninety-fifth minute, Reus pushed a shot in the penalty area, and the football was held by Sun Pan who fell to the ground.

A minute later, Klopp made a substitution. He replaced Mark Wagner with striker Schieber. After all, after playing for so long, Mark was also a little physically exhausted.

However, Zhou Yi was not replaced. As Dortmund's core, Klopp wouldn't replace Zhou Yi if his brain was working properly, especially when the team needed to strengthen their attack.

In the ninety-seventh minute, after Dortmund made a substitution, Chelsea also made a substitution. Mourinho replaced the exhausted Torres with the Belgian genius nicknamed "Little Beast," Lukaku, letting Lukaku take Torres's place at the front, while the others continued to defend comprehensively.

In the one hundred and first minute, Chelsea got a chance to counterattack, but Lukaku lost the ball under the double-team of Hummels and Subotić. It seemed that he was not very adapted to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game after just coming on. Of course, this was also related to the fact that no other Chelsea players came up to support him. After all, the team's main task now was defense. If everyone went up to support him, but ended up losing the ball, wouldn't that be penny-wise and pound-foolish?

In the one hundred and third minute, Zhou Yi tried a curling shot from outside the penalty area, and the football drew an arc, flying high over the back corner of the goal.

Sun Pan whistled and then yelled at Zhou Yi: "Air ball—!"

Zhou Yi ignored him. This was Sun Pan's usual tactic, specifically used to interfere with the emotions of opposing players. If the opposing player lost his composure, that would be a good thing for him.

But Zhou Yi wouldn't be foolish enough to fall for it. Sun Pan's low-level provocative skills were useless to him. You know, Zhou Yi didn't even play like this when he was playing football in junior high school... too childish!

The first fifteen minutes of extra time passed quickly, and the two sides directly exchanged venues to begin the second half of extra time.

"There are fifteen minutes left until the penalty shootout..." the commentators said one after another.

Many people must have already believed that this game would be decided by a penalty shootout. Some neutral commentators even wished it could, because the penalty shootout was the most brutal and exciting. And they also wanted to see what kind of sparks would fly between Sun Pan and Weidenfeller, these two excellent goalkeepers, in the penalty shootout...

But Dortmund didn't want this result.

As soon as the second half of extra time began, they continued to launch a fierce attack on Chelsea's goal.

In the one hundred and eighth minute, Zhou Yi pulled to the wing to cross, and the football was accurately sent to the front of the goal. Schieber's header from close range was miraculously saved by Sun Pan on the goal line!

A minute later, Sun Pan made another amazing save. Mkhitaryan's poke in the penalty area was almost a sure goal. But Sun Pan managed to deflect it with his toes.

"Sun—Pan! wooooooooooooooooooow!!!" The British commentator cheered loudly. "Haha! Great save! He blocked the football with his toes even after falling to the ground and losing his balance! Look at Mkhitaryan's incredible expression... wonderful! Ha!"

Sun Pan, who got up from the ground, roared excitedly.

He was very, very satisfied with his performance.

If this state continued until the penalty shootout, he was confident that he could defeat Dortmund in the penalty shootout!

"There are ten minutes left in the game..." He Ping said with emotion. "In this game, both Zhou Yi and Sun Pan have performed very well. So, in fact, no matter what the final result is, whether Chelsea wins the Super Cup or Dortmund wins the championship... as Chinese fans, we can all happily say: 'This is a victory for Chinese football.' I think that's the thing that makes us happiest..."

Strictly speaking, he was not a fan of Zhou Yi, nor was he a fan of Sun Pan. He was a fan of Chinese football. He hoped that Chinese football could get better and better, stronger and stronger. He hoped to see more Chinese players like Zhou Yi and Sun Pan gain a foothold in European football and create their own world.

That being said, Chinese fans online who supported Sun Pan and Chelsea, as well as those who supported Zhou Yi and Dortmund, didn't see it that way.

They still hoped that the teams and players they supported could win.

In the one hundred and thirteenth minute, Dortmund launched an attack on the left. Schmelzer came up to cross. Schieber headed the ball back to the front, and Reus followed up with a close-range poke. As a result, the football went wide of the goal...

Seeing that Dortmund's attack was swift and fierce, and there was not much time left in the game, Mourinho made another substitution, partly to strengthen the defense, and partly to delay the game.

He replaced midfielder Hazard with center-back John Terry.

Another piece of steel plate was added to the bus parked in front of the goal.

Why is Mourinho's bus tactic criticized by everyone, especially every team that plays against him? This of course also shows the success of his tactic, because his bus tactic really makes the attacking side very, very uncomfortable...

In the one hundred and fifteenth minute, Dortmund won a free kick.

Reus took a direct free kick, and the football perfectly crossed the wall, flying straight to the far corner of the goal. But Sun Pan once again made a miraculous save, pushing the football over the crossbar!

"Sun Pan! If Mourinho parked a bus in front of the goal, then Sun Pan has built a wall on the goal line! His performance in this game has completely silenced those who are dissatisfied with him replacing Čech as the starter!" The British commentator stood on Sun Pan's side this time without reservation.

"Sun Pan looks almost invincible..." Marcel Reif was also a little discouraged. Sun Pan's state in this game was really too good. Although he conceded a goal, to be honest, he wasn't very responsible for that goal.

In the one hundred and eighteenth minute, Dortmund attacked again. This time, Hummels rushed to the front as an attacker, and his powerful shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar.

"There's really not much time left for Dortmund..." Marcel Reif accidentally said the famous line of Chinese commentators.

Dortmund was almost attacking around Chelsea's half. At this time, Chelsea probably didn't have time to consider counterattacks.

In the one hundred and twentieth minute, Dortmund launched another attack.

The football was passed to the left wing, and Mkhitaryan decided to pass the football directly to the front of the goal. He sent a forty-five-degree cross, but the landing point of the ball was not very good. He wanted to find Schieber at the back post, but he passed it too low.

And Luiz, who was preparing to clear the ball with a header, didn't head the ball well either. Maybe it was because of his puffy hair. Anyway, he didn't completely head the ball, but just grazed it. So the grazed football didn't fly to Schieber, but it didn't fly far out of the penalty area either.

Instead, it landed on the edge of the penalty area!

"Clear it out!" Cahill shouted.

Lampard was the closest Chelsea player to the ball, but he wasn't close enough to kick the football away with a big foot. He could only stretch out his legs and try to poke the football away with a sliding tackle.

But before him, a foot poked the football away faster!

"Zhou Yi!"

No one knew how Zhou Yi appeared there, and no one had the mind to think about this question. They only saw Zhou Yi poke the football into the penalty area, while nimbly dodging Lampard's sliding tackle.

He dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Cahill rushed up to intercept him. Facing Cahill's frontal interception, Zhou Yi used the outside of his right foot to gently push the football to the right, followed by a turn.

He was no longer facing the goal directly. Cahill hoped to continue to force Zhou Yi outwards. If he could force him towards the corner flag area, then this defense would be considered successful.

Of course, the premise was that he shouldn't foul. So he saw Zhou Yi push the football away, and he stuck to him, but he didn't dare to make a move easily.

At the same time, Luiz also stuck to him. They and Cahill were stuck on the inside line, like a wall blocking Zhou Yi, preventing him from turning towards the goal and forcing him out of the danger zone step by step.

In order to avoid any accidents because of their hand movements, the two also raised their hands at the same time, as if they were surrendering.

Sun Pan was also moving towards the near corner with Zhou Yi, blocking the shooting angle.

Schieber was in front of Zhou Yi. He created space and shouted at Zhou Yi: "Pass the ball to me!"

Although his shooting angle wasn't great either, he felt that it should be better than Zhou Yi's, right?

But Zhou Yi didn't pass the football to him, his head lowered, he couldn't see Schieber at all.

He was bumped in the stomach by Cahill, and his steps were a little staggered.

To be honest, when Cahill saw Zhou Yi staggering and his body leaning forward, his heart was in his throat - he was afraid that Zhou Yi would fall to the ground and then the referee would give them a penalty!

In this regard, Cahill believed that Zhou Yi's reputation was not very good, he was a player who fell at the slightest touch...

If Zhou Yi really fell to the ground, and if the referee happened to be out of his mind and gave a penalty, he wouldn't be able to get rid of this blame...

But just when Cahill's mind was racing with many thoughts for a moment, Zhou Yi didn't fall. He struggled to maintain his balance, and then, in a very difficult situation, suddenly turned around!

Yes, it was a turn, his whole body twisted around. At the same time, his right foot swung over from the outside and kicked the football!

It was a shot!

It was a very difficult shot!

It was a completely unexpected shot!

Zhou Yi relied on a difficult turning shot when his center of gravity was almost vertical above the football!

Who the hell could have thought of that?

But Zhou Yi just did it!

His toes poked the football, so the football sneaked past between Cahill and Luiz.

When Sun Pan realized that Zhou Yi was shooting and fell to the side to save, it was too late. He fell almost instinctively, but his speed was still slower than Zhou Yi's very cunning shot...

He couldn't touch the football.

He could only look back at the football, hoping that Zhou Yi's unconventional, high-difficulty, hasty shot would go wide.

But it didn't.

Although the football poked by Zhou Yi was bouncing on the grass, it stubbornly didn't deviate from the trajectory Zhou Yi had set for it... It ran towards the goal all the way, and finally it crossed the goal line and rolled into Chelsea's goal!

The moment the football crossed the goal line, it was as if it had triggered a magic spell, turning all the nearby Chelsea players into statues...
