Chapter 1066 Wild Winds and Giant Waves

Because of Turan's header, Atletico Madrid won a corner kick.

After the corner kick was taken, it was headed out of bounds by Hummels, so Atletico Madrid continued to take a corner kick.

The second time, it formed an attack, but Miranda's header was blocked out of bounds by Piszczek's body.

Atletico Madrid took a corner kick for the third consecutive time.

This time, they didn't kick it directly in front of the goal, but chose a tactical corner kick.

The ball was passed to Mario Suarez, who came up to meet it.

Suarez dribbled back, pulling the players from both sides in Dortmund's penalty area out, and then suddenly passed the ball into the penalty area.

The ball drew an inward arc, heading straight for the back post of the goal.

Weidenfeller quickly turned around to block the back post.

Just as the ball was about to fly out of the baseline, Juanfran arrived and swept the ball back into the air!

The ball flew past Weidenfeller, who didn't have time to react.

But in fact, he didn't need to worry too much, because there were three of his teammates in front of the goal.

As long as one of them could touch the ball, they could clear it out...

But something shocking happened—the ball flew past Papastathopoulos, Hummels, and Mark Wagner. All three made clearance motions, but none of them could touch the ball!

The ball flew unimpeded to the other side, and then Adrian rushed up and volleyed the ball into the goal!

The ball flew into the Dortmund goal, which was unguarded!

He Ping's unfortunate prediction came true...

"Adrian—! Whoa whoa whoa! Atletico Madrid 2:0! The aggregate score is 2:3! They are only one goal behind! Fantastic!" the Spanish commentator shouted excitedly. "There are still fifty-four minutes left in the game, plus injury time in both halves, there are sixty minutes. An hour is enough for Atletico Madrid to create a miracle! They will create history—no team has ever been able to reverse and advance to the final in the Champions League semi-final after losing the first leg 0:3! Simeone's team will do it!"

"Oh dear!" Marcel Reif was very disappointed with the goal conceded. "What is Dortmund's defense doing? Three people! Three people, and none of them could touch the ball! And Adrian was missed in the back!"

"Atletico Madrid's aggressive play has completely panicked Dortmund. This defense is really amateur..." He Ping also had to criticize Dortmund's performance. "In the first leg a week ago, Dortmund's opening three axes caught Atletico Madrid off guard. Now it's Atletico Madrid's turn to use their three axes to catch Dortmund off guard..."

When Adrian scored, the entire Calderon stadium seemed to have experienced an earthquake. The buildings were shaking, and people on it seemed to be unable to stand still...

All Atletico Madrid fans were roaring and jumping wildly in the stands.

They seemed to see the door to a miracle slowly opening before their eyes. Behind the door was a bright new world!

In the eyes of Dortmund supporters, their team seemed to have transformed into a small boat, fighting against the stormy waves at sea. A wave hit down, and the small boat disappeared. Just when everyone thought the boat had sunk to the bottom of the sea, it emerged from under the wave again.

But the hull was rapidly disintegrating, and it was estimated that it would not last many times.

If there were a few more such big waves, it was estimated that everyone would see a piece of debris floating on the sea.

Every Dortmund fan was terrified, wondering how long their team could last...

The TV broadcast then switched to the faces of fans from both sides on the sidelines.

Atletico Madrid fans were naturally cheering and jumping for joy, not to mention how excited and excited they were.

Dortmund fans, on the other hand, covered their mouths with their hands and were so nervous that they couldn't move.

The performance of the players on both sides fully illustrated the current situation and situation of the two teams.

Then, some shots of the players and coaches on both sides were given.

Klopp sat on the coach's bench, helplessly looking at the situation in front of him.

This scene of him was a bit like how Guardiola sat on the coach's bench last night watching his team being slaughtered by Real Madrid.

The coaches of the two Bundesliga teams fought hard in the league, and now they encountered the same situation in the Champions League. They were really tacitly in the same boat...

※※※

After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid, who had already chased two goals in a row, was naturally in high spirits and frantically vented their attacking firepower towards Dortmund's goal.

During this period, Dortmund could only retreat across the board, with everyone shrinking in their own thirty-meter area to participate in defense.

"...Now Dortmund's biggest wish should be for the first half to end quickly, so that they can enter the halftime break, so that Klopp has a chance to adjust. And the fifteen minutes of the halftime break may also interrupt Atletico Madrid's excellent state... So Atletico Madrid is now desperately attacking, just wanting to score another goal before the end of the first half, to equalize the aggregate score and completely eliminate Dortmund's possibility of a counterattack..." the Spanish commentator said, or it could be said that he was looking forward to the future...

In this case, when Zhou Yi had the ball, he would always try to pass the ball to Yan Min.

Whenever this happened, when other people on the team were easily affected by changes in the situation, there was always one person who didn't care at all how the outside world changed.

Whether he was in adversity or in a good situation, he played according to his own rhythm and ideas.

Sometimes, he would be criticized for doing so as "low football IQ" and "the representative of blind kicking."

But when encountering difficulties, having such a person can often preserve hope for the team.

This person is of course the reckless Yan Min.

After he gets the ball, his task is very simple, which is to try to bring the ball to the frontcourt and create a bloody path for Dortmund's counterattack.

Although most of the time it will fail, Yan Min and Zhou Yi did not give up, were not moved by the failure, and still insisted on this style of play.

And gradually, he really did find a way out.

After all, when Atletico Madrid is frantically pressing forward to attack, there are many gaps behind them. As long as Yan Min succeeds once, it can really form a killing opportunity.

This made Atletico Madrid have to be afraid.

After bombarding Dortmund's goal for a while, but failing to score, Atletico Madrid had to start slowing down the pace and end this siege style of play.

So Dortmund could finally press forward as a whole and launch an attack.

Zhou Yi took the opportunity to give Yan Min a thumbs up. This was the result of his tireless efforts.

At this time, the game had reached the forty-third minute, and the first half was about to end.

Dortmund had not conceded another goal, which was already considered to have completed the team's goal.

Next, just wait for the first half to end and Klopp to make adjustments.

In many people's assumptions, Dortmund in the second half should choose to defend and counterattack, first stabilize the defense, and then look for opportunities to counterattack Atletico Madrid.

After all, Atletico Madrid is still leading by one goal on the aggregate score. If Atletico Madrid wants to advance, they must first equalize the aggregate score, and then consider whether to score or play extra time or a penalty shootout.

At this time, the initiative of the game will run to Dortmund's side. They only need to arrange the defense and wait for Atletico Madrid to attack. If there is an opportunity, they will counterattack, and if there is no opportunity, they will stabilize the defense.

As long as Dortmund can stabilize their position, Atletico Madrid will fall into a quagmire of hard fighting...

As for Atletico Madrid, although they can guess Dortmund's arrangements in the second half, they don't have a better way now. There are still two minutes before the end of the first half. After frantically attacking for nearly ten minutes, they failed to break Dortmund's goal again. Of course, they have to stabilize now. It would be embarrassing if Dortmund used a counterattack to score a goal before the end of the first half...

This is Atletico Madrid's helpless choice. Who made them fail to take down Dortmund with the momentum of scoring two goals in a row?

Speaking of this, the players of Atletico Madrid really hate Yan Min so much that their teeth itch... His tenacious breakthrough is also one of the main reasons why Atletico Madrid failed to score Dortmund's goal for the third time.

Because they were afraid of Dortmund's counterattack, Atletico Madrid did not invest all their strength in the attack, and they had to leave a hand in the defense to guard against Yan Min's counterattack...

In the forty-fourth minute, Dortmund won a throw-in on the left side of the frontcourt, just a little past the midfield line.
