Chapter 604 The Dimming Red Walls

Chapter 1 The game enters the final ten minutes, and Bayern Munich's offensive begins to slow down.

Although Heynckes hopes his team can defeat Borussia Dortmund by a large margin at home, he is not an idiot. If they really can't score more goals, then ensuring a 1-0 victory is obviously more important.

It would be too stupid to lose the three points they have in hand in order to score more goals.

So he told the team to slow down the pace, pull back and defend, and strive to hold on to this result.

And maybe wanting to hold on to this result might actually lead to more goals?

He believes that Klopp will definitely not be able to accept this result, because in the process of competing with Bayern Munich for the league title, the results of each encounter between the two teams are very important. Klopp is a more passionate coach, and he will of course fight to the death in the final moments of the game. Losing 0:1 is no different from losing 0:2, but with a little fight, maybe they can equalize the score?

So Borussia Dortmund will definitely push forward in a big way in the final moments, so Bayern Munich can just wait to counterattack.

Bayern Munich retreated slightly, and Borussia Dortmund really pushed forward immediately, completely in line with Heynckes' expectations. The progress of the game was all under the control of this veteran coach.

※※※

In the eighty-third minute, Borussia Dortmund got an offensive opportunity. After a series of passes between Zhou Yi and Mark, he sent the ball to Reus' feet in the penalty area. After Reus stopped the ball, he shot directly.

Neuer dived and pushed the ball out of the baseline.

"Beautiful save! Neuer is the last line of defense for Bayern Munich, and as this line of defense, he has always been very reassuring! With little time left in the game, each of his successful saves is a heavy blow to Borussia Dortmund players!" Marcel Reif did not hesitate to lavish praise on Neuer, this young genius.

The Bayern Munich fans in the stands also generously applauded Neuer's wonderful save.

Then the live broadcast opportunely announced the attendance of this game, and excitedly announced that this was Bayern Munich's 200th consecutive home game sellout!

This news naturally caused Bayern Munich fans in the stands to cheer. The huge cheers seemed to be able to mess up hair and clothes.

In the Bundesliga, the most famous fans are Borussia Dortmund's fans, who are known for their fanaticism and loyalty, but Bayern Munich fans are not far behind. This time, in the game against Borussia Dortmund, they completed this remarkable record, and they are also leading Borussia Dortmund in the score. Bayern Munich fans are really in the limelight, and their mood can only be described as "thoroughly enjoyable".

In this huge cheer, Reus ran to take the corner kick. In the stands in the corner flag area, all of them were Bayern Munich fans wearing red jerseys. He was like running towards a huge and towering red wall alone. In front of this "wall", Reus, wearing a yellow jersey and black shorts, was so small and insignificant that he could be swallowed by the red "bloody mouth" at any time, not even enough to fill the opponent's teeth.

While Reus ran to prepare for the corner kick, Borussia Dortmund's tall defenders crowded into the penalty area.

Hummels, who is 1.92 meters tall, Subotic, who is 1.93 meters tall, and Piszczek, who is 1.84 meters tall, these three standing in the penalty area are like mobile siege towers.

In addition, there is Lewandowski, who is 1.84 meters tall.

Borussia Dortmund attaches great importance to this corner kick.

When conventional offensive means cannot open up the situation, they have to pin their hopes on set pieces. In the final moments of the game, every set piece must be taken seriously. Because maybe it will create a miracle?

Bayern Munich naturally understands this principle and is even more prepared. Every Borussia Dortmund player who can threaten the goal has a Bayern Munich player closely following them. If these Borussia Dortmund players want to get rid of them, they will directly pull on their jerseys.

For this reason, the referee Gagelmann had to blow his whistle to stop the game, and then called the players from both sides together to clearly tell them not to have extra physical contact and movements, otherwise he would not be lenient, he would award a penalty if he should, and he would call an offensive foul if he should.

After warning the players from both sides, he withdrew from the penalty area, and the players from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were still entangled in the penalty area. This time there were still hand movements, but they were slightly restrained than before. And Gagelmann turned a blind eye. If he were to be serious, this corner kick might not be taken for ten minutes. As long as the players' movements are not too excessive.

In front of Bayern Munich's goal, the players from both sides were entangled together, with you in me and me in you.

But all of this has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

He stood far away outside the penalty area, and did not seem to intend to participate in this corner kick attack, but rather seemed to be helping the team defend, to avoid the opponent's counterattack.

His approach is normal and not surprising. After all, his figure is there. Whether it is height or weight, it is useless in the muscle jungle of the penalty area in front of him. Fighting for a header is not enough for Dante, Boateng and others to fill their teeth.

He will not rush into the penalty area for many corner kicks. Either he takes the corner kick himself, or he just hangs outside like this, like an isolated island overseas.

After Gagelmann saw that the situation in the penalty area was basically stable, he blew the whistle in his mouth.

The whistle sounded, Reus took a run-up, and then kicked the ball into the penalty area.

He kicked it to the near post!

Hummels is there.

But as the header specialist in Borussia Dortmund, how could there be no Bayern Munich player defending Hummels?

Boateng firmly entangled him, while Mandzukic, who had returned to the front of the goal, seized the opportunity to jump high in front of Hummels!

He headed the ball away in front of Hummels!

"Mandzukic clears the header!"

The ball headed out by Mandzukic flew straight out of the penalty area.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi decisively moved forward from his defensive position and ran towards the penalty area.

At the same time, the ball headed out by Mandzukic was received by Götze, who had withdrawn from the penalty area.

Bayern Munich's defense acted quickly and uniformly. Their entire team followed the flying ball and pressed outwards, instantly leaving the slow-reacting Lewandowski and Hummels behind the defensive line, putting them into an offside trap.

Even if Götze wanted to pass the ball to them at this time, it was impossible. He could only try to find a way by himself.

The Bayern Munich defenders, who had successfully created an offside, fearlessly pounced on Götze, intending to intercept the ball and then launch a counterattack.

Now there are only Schmelzer and Zhou Yi behind Borussia Dortmund, it is a great opportunity to counterattack!

At this moment, Götze passed the ball out.

But he did not pass it to anyone in the penalty area, but rather pushed it out horizontally.

He passed the ball to Zhou Yi, who suddenly appeared near the top of the arc!

Since he doesn't know how to solve this problem, then hand the ball over to someone who has the ability to solve this problem.

"Zhou Yi!" Duan Xin shouted at the same time as Zhou Yi received the ball.

※※※

Zhou Yi ran horizontally from the left to meet Götze, and Götze passed the ball to him. He stopped the ball passed by Götze with his left foot. But he did not stop the ball firmly under his feet. The ball hit the inside of his left foot, bounced back, and rolled to the outside of his right foot.

It seems like a bad stop.

But then, Zhou Yi perfectly used this "mistake". He took a stride, raised his right foot, and kicked the ball directly!

The inside of his right foot scraped the outside of the ball. The ball itself flew towards the goal with a strong spin!

But the road to the goal is not so easy. On the route, there are four Bayern Munich players, two in front and two behind, blocking the way. They are the players who were originally rushing towards Götze. After seeing Götze pass the ball, they changed direction and pounced on Zhou Yi.

The two Bayern Munich players in front, Mandzukic and Javi Martínez, were the first to meet the ball. They kicked the ball from left and right, trying to destroy the ball.

But just as they were about to close the door, the ball slipped through the gap in the "door".

The two Bayern Munich players behind were Lahm and Boateng. Boateng also stretched out his foot to kick the ball, while Lahm simply threw himself out, intending to head the ball out.

But this time, the ball still rushed through the moment the "door" was about to close!

It passed through the interception of four Bayern Munich players unscathed and flew towards Bayern Munich's goal.

Neuer's big hand flew over. He flew in the air, stretching his arms as much as possible. Even if it was with his fingertips, it didn't matter, as long as he could push the ball out!

But he still didn't touch the ball.

The ball drew an arc in the air, bypassed his palm, brushed the inside of the goal post and flew into the goal. After being blocked by the net, the strong spin gradually stopped, and then it lost all its strength and fell from the net onto the grass in the goal, bouncing twice, and stopped moving.

※※※

"Eh?!" Duan Xin shouted in an unbelievable tone. "Eh! Ah!! Ha! Aha!! Goal! Goal! In the eighty-fifth minute, Zhou Yi equalized the score for Borussia Dortmund!"

"Zhou Yi! An unexpected kick! Sudden! Accurate! Worldie!" Marcel Reif was also very excited. "Borussia Dortmund equalized the score in the final moments, they survived!"

When the ball flew into the goal in an arc, the Allianz Arena, which was originally as lively as a boiling pot, suddenly became quiet for a moment. This huge contrast might even make people think it was an illusion.

But indeed, when Zhou Yi shot the ball into the goal, tens of thousands of Bayern Munich fans seemed to have their throats pinched, they just opened their mouths, but did not make any sound.

Reus, who had finished taking the corner kick and intended to go to support Götze, hadn't run a few steps when he saw Zhou Yi kick the ball into Bayern Munich's goal. He stopped, turned around, raised his fist at the "red wall", and roared loudly.

In front of him, the red of the high wall seemed to have dimmed a lot.
