"This corner kick opportunity is very important for Borussia Dortmund... the corner kick is taken... Mandzukic clears with a header! Gotze gets the ball, there's still a chance... Zhou Yi! Eh?! Eh! Ah! Ha! Aha!! Goal! Goal!! In the eighty-fifth minute, Zhou Yi equalizes for Borussia Dortmund!! Amazing! Amazing! Zhou Yi's goal is fantastic!"

In front of the television, Duan Xin's excited voice filled the living rooms of countless Chinese families.

This German "Der Klassiker" is also receiving a lot of attention in China. Everyone is not only paying attention to Zhou Yi, but also to Bayern Munich, because there are also a large number of Bayern Munich fans in China.

But even these loyal supporters of Bayern Munich, when they saw Zhou Yi's shot, could only sigh and couldn't complain or curse.

It wasn't so much because Zhou Yi was their compatriot, but because Zhou Yi's shot was just too... awesome!

Awesome to the point that you couldn't find any fault with it!

Falling to such a shot didn't seem to warrant any anger...

※※※

Zhou Yi was also very excited after scoring. Of course, he couldn't accept losing the game away from home. In football, if you can't win, then don't lose.

After taking the shot, he tilted his head and leaned forward. Seeing the football fly into the goal, he ran diagonally towards the corner flag area where Reus had taken the corner kick earlier.

All the Borussia Dortmund players behind him followed like ripples he had stirred up on the field.

They huddled together there. Lewandowski bent down and picked up Zhou Yi, lifting him high and making him the most conspicuous one in the crowd.

This position naturally attracted everyone's attention, but it also inevitably made him the target of Bayern Munich fans. How could they pretend not to see Borussia Dortmund players celebrating so unscrupulously right under their noses?

After a brief silence, boos erupted.

But Zhou Yi didn't care at all. The boos from the opposing fans were the best reward for him.

※※※

The television broadcast was replaying Zhou Yi's goal, showing the brilliance of the shot from multiple angles.

"There are so many people in the penalty area, and there are four Bayern Munich players in the path of the football, but none of them touched the ball. There is only one path from Zhou Yi to the goal, and he seized it. This shot wasn't too powerful, but the ball speed is still very fast, which is related to the movement of his calf. Many players might choose to blast a shot in this situation, but the effect is not as good as this skillful shot..." Marcel Reif analyzed why this ball was so good. "Zhou Yi's control of the football when shooting is just right!"

One shot was taken from the air, which perfectly showed the trajectory of the ball.

Zhou Yi's arc was not very large. If it were too large, the football would have hit the Bayern Munich players in the penalty area. But this arc, which was not very obvious, perfectly avoided all obstacles.

It was like a classic escape scene in a Hollywood movie. The football was like the spaceship driven by the protagonist, trying to pass through a series of closing gates. When all the audience was worried about the fate of the protagonist, the spaceship rushed out of the gap at the moment when the last gate was about to close, escaping to safety.

Of course, some Bayern Munich fans would not agree with Marcel Reif's words, thinking that he was exaggerating too much. What control is just right?

This is clearly a typical example of "survivorship bias"!

If Zhou Yi's shot hadn't gone in, but had hit a Bayern Munich player or gone wide of the baseline, wouldn't that mean his control of the football was terrible?

Now, using the fact that the ball went in to prove Zhou Yi's precise control of his footwork is not convincing. That's just because the ball went in. Everyone believes that Zhou Yi must have had many shots in this position, but those balls didn't go in, so naturally they won't appear in front of everyone's eyes. But only this ball went in, so it becomes a 100% successful example.

Regarding Zhou Yi's goal, Bayern Munich fans believe there is only one reasonable explanation—Zhou Yi had dog sh*t luck, he was too lucky, he just took a blind shot and it went in!

But in fact, luck plays a very important role in the birth of any world-class goal.

No world-class goal scorer can guarantee that repeated attempts in the same situation will be successful.

There is an element of luck in the goal itself, and it is unfair to simply and rudely deny the technical ability of the goal scorer by using luck.

But whether it is dog sh*t luck or strength, one fact cannot be changed, and that is that Bayern Munich was tied by Borussia Dortmund in their own home stadium with only a few minutes left in the game!

※※※

The late goal was a big blow to Bayern Munich, but an even bigger blow may have come from another thought—is it difficult to defeat this team no matter how hard they try?

This time, they were about to win, but at the last moment, they let the opponent continue their life!

If they were dog sh*t lucky, then why does the goddess of luck only favor them and not us?

At the moment of the goal, Heynckes was emotionally agitated and waved his fist angrily. This fist was not aimed at his own players, but at the goddess of luck—this is our home field, why are you standing on their side?!

Klopp seemed even more excited. He rushed into the field and waved his two fists alternately, as if he was beating an invisible opponent.

After venting his inner emotions, he returned to the coaching bench and hugged everyone he saw, using so much force that he gritted his teeth and his face was grim.

This was not joy, but the expression after escaping from death.

Zhou Yi's goal can really be described as "escaping from death."

Of course, he knew that the season was long, and the outcome of a game could not determine the ownership of the league title. But this was a game against Bayern Munich, and it was at Bayern Munich's home stadium. If they could tie Bayern Munich, it would be different for the team's confidence and morale.

At the same time, it was a bigger blow to Bayern Munich.

Making Bayern Munich feel a sense of despair that they "can't win against them even at their own home."

This psychological impact is what Klopp valued most. In the most intense moments of the league title race in the future, what determines the victory or defeat is often not strength, but psychology.

Zhou Yi's shot was equivalent to planting a time bomb in the hearts of Bayern Munich players, which would explode at a critical moment.

※※※

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich, unwilling to have their lead equalized by Zhou Yi's "dog sh*t lucky shot" in their own home stadium, launched a very fierce attack on Borussia Dortmund's goal.

Under their fierce attack, the entire Borussia Dortmund team retreated to defend. This time, Klopp did not confront Bayern Munich head-on.

In the eighty-seventh minute, Subotić was injured in defense and Santana replaced him. After this substitution, Bayern Munich got a good opportunity. Bayern Munich's attack was a long pass to the front.

Mandzukic overpowered Santana to get the first point, and after heading the ball down, Thomas Müller quickly inserted in front of the penalty area to receive the ball and shot directly at the far corner of Borussia Dortmund's goal. Weidenfeller failed to touch the ball, but the ball did not fly into the goal, but went slightly wide.

Then Heynckes replaced Mandzukic with Mario Gomez. Gomez created a chance as soon as he came on. His through ball tore apart Borussia Dortmund's defense, but Kroos's shot was bravely held in Weidenfeller's arms, without even giving the opponent a chance to make a follow-up shot or a corner kick.

In the ninety-second minute, the last minute of regular time in the entire game, Bayern Munich continued to attack. Kroos passed the ball to Müller on the corner of the penalty area. Müller directly lobbed the ball. This ball was very threatening and looked like it was going to go in. The stands of the Allianz Arena were already impatiently cheering.

But Weidenfeller, the Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper who performed very well in this game, made another wonderful save. He tried his best to push the ball over the crossbar.

"Bayern Munich gets a corner kick. This may be Bayern Munich's last offensive opportunity in this game. It is now ninety-two minutes and thirty-seven seconds, and there are only three minutes of stoppage time..." Marcel Reif said.

While speaking, the TV broadcast cut to a close-up of Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Neuer. He abandoned the goal and was running towards Borussia Dortmund's penalty area. He also wanted to participate in this corner kick attack. If he could score, Bayern Munich would kill Borussia Dortmund at the last moment!

Borussia Dortmund also made a substitution. The all-rounder Großkreutz replaced Zhou Yi, who could no longer contribute much to the defense.

When Zhou Yi left the field, he walked a little slower, and the stands of the Allianz Arena once again resounded with harsh boos.

Zhou Yi was unmoved and walked off the field at his own pace despite the boos.

There was nothing to rush anyway. Bayern Munich themselves knew that this was their last offensive opportunity in this game. If this corner kick was taken, a goal would be a kill, and if it was not a goal, it would be the final whistle. At this time, it didn't matter whether he walked faster or slower.

※※※

After Borussia Dortmund completed the substitution, Neuer was already standing in Borussia Dortmund's penalty area. The corner kick could finally be taken.

The referee blew his whistle, and Kroos kicked the football into the penalty area. He accurately found Javi Martínez on the small penalty area line. Martínez jumped high and headed the ball!

The football flew quickly towards the near corner of the goal!

"Good ball!"

In Marcel Reif's call, Weidenfeller flew into the air, like a god descending to earth, and slapped the flying football out of the baseline with one palm!

"Weidenfeller! He has defended Borussia Dortmund's point!"

As soon as Marcel Reif finished speaking, the referee Gagelmann blew the whistle to end the game. Three whistles, and the score was fixed at 1:1. Bayern Munich was unable to defeat Borussia Dortmund at home. Although it ended the embarrassing record of losing all league games to Borussia Dortmund in the previous two seasons, this result was not necessarily what Bayern Munich wanted...
