Chapter 1029 The Debut of the Substitute Goalkeeper

When Reid was still warming up nervously, the TV broadcast focused on him, the first time this twenty-year-old young player had enjoyed such a long close-up in a match.

"Lucas Reid... A young goalkeeper transferred from Schalke 04. He has never played in an official match for Bayern Munich's first team, so this is his debut. Who would have thought his debut would be in such an important match..." Marcel Reif introduced the Bayern Munich goalkeeper who was about to appear to the TV audience. "For him, I don't know if it's a dream moment or an ordeal..."

"Neuer should have strained a muscle while saving Zhou Yi's shot, and had to be substituted. Reid is Bayern Munich's substitute goalkeeper, but he has no experience playing for the first team. Being entrusted with an important task in this game, facing Dortmund's crazy attack, whether he can withstand it may be related to whether Bayern Munich can win this game and even win the league title this season..." Duan Xin stated the problem seriously.

Fortunately, Reid couldn't hear what the commentators were saying, otherwise, who knows if his psychological pressure would be too great...

※※※

While Neuer was receiving treatment, Reid was warming up.

When Neuer finished the simple treatment and was about to leave the field, Reid was also standing on the sidelines.

The fourth official raised the sign, indicating that number 1 Neuer was off, and number 32 Lucas Reid was on.

Neuer didn't walk to the sidelines to hand over to him, but directly retreated from behind the goal, and then slowly walked back to the bench with the support of Volfahrt.

And Reid didn't have to wait for Neuer and ran directly onto the field.

This was to save time. Although player injuries can be counted in injury time, it is impossible to have unlimited injury time. Now that the team is behind, Neuer certainly wanted the game to start as soon as possible.

After Reid ran to the goal, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, and Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski, who had been waiting in the center circle for a long time, gently kicked the football out, and Gotze followed up with a pass back.

The match, which had been interrupted for several minutes due to Neuer's injury, restarted!

※※※

Neuer's injury had a great impact on Bayern Munich, greatly打击 (dǎ jī - struck) the morale of the Bayern Munich players. They couldn't help but think, in such an important game, the main goalkeeper was injured... Was this God's revelation to them, telling them that they would still lose to Dortmund in the league this season? And Neuer's injury was an excuse for them to leave with dignity?

At the same time, Neuer's injured leg boosted the morale of the Dortmund players. With a substitute goalkeeper who had never had first-team experience, wouldn't it be easier for them to score?

So Dortmund launched a fierce attack on Bayern Munich's goal.

Just five minutes after the goal, Dortmund got a throw-in on the left side of the frontcourt.

The Bayern Munich players were still a little dazed and didn't organize their defense at all.

Reus ran directly into the gap behind their defenders. Durm threw the football over when he saw this.

Because there is no concept of offside in a throw-in, it was not a foul for Reus to receive the ball in the gap behind all the Bayern Munich defenders.

After receiving the ball, he took it into the penalty area. Bayern Munich defender Rafinha quickly came up to defend.

Reus stopped suddenly and changed direction,甩开 (shuǎi kāi - got rid of) Rafinha and cut into the penalty area. He pretended to cross, but directly shot an弧线球 (hú xiàn qiú - arc ball)!

Reid扑 (pū - lunged) horizontally but didn't touch the football!

The football went straight to the far corner, but unfortunately the arc of the ball was a little too big, bypassed the far post, and flew directly out of the baseline...

"Oh! Dangerous! Reus kicked a very beautiful arc ball! It almost went in!"

There was a huge exclamation from the stands of the Allianz Arena.

Reus held his head in his hands, looking very遗憾 (yí hàn - regretful) that he missed an opportunity to continue to expand the lead.

Bayern Munich kicked the goal kick to the frontcourt, but it was taken down by Dortmund's players. Reid seemed a little nervous. His goal kick didn't find his teammates at all, but went to Dortmund defender Hummels. Hummels calmly stopped the football with his chest when no one came up to interfere at all. Then he looked up at the situation in front of him. Bayern Munich's defense line was all压 (yā - pressed) to the center circle, and he decided to launch a counterattack with a long pass directly.

A long pass flew accurately behind Bayern Munich's defense line.

Yan Min relied on his speed to插 (chā - cut) in at high speed from behind, vượt qua (yuè guò - surpassed) Bayern Munich's defense line, received the football behind them, and took the ball to the penalty area!

This caused嘘声 (xū shēng - boos) from the stands of the Allianz Arena.

"Dortmund's counterattack is here again!"

Yan Min dribbled the ball straight to Bayern Munich's penalty area, and although Bayern Munich players were chasing closely behind, the speed gap between the two sides was a bit too large, and it was difficult for them to catch up with Yan Min before he entered the penalty area.

They could only watch Yan Min take the ball into the penalty area, and then face the onrushing goalkeeper Reid, with a推射 (tuī shè - push shot)!

The hearts of all Bayern Munich fans and players were in their throats at this moment, and some people even saw the scene after losing the ball...

But just when everyone was desperate, substitute Lucas Reid fell to the ground and blocked the football with his foot!

At the same time, his second reaction was also very fast. Just after blocking the football, he immediately翻身 (fān shēn - rolled over) and got up from the ground to continue扑 (pū - pounce) towards the football!

Because Yan Min hadn't given up yet!

Yan Min shot and found that the football didn't go in, so he accelerated and rushed towards the football, wanting to补射 (bǔ shè - tap-in shot).

He did get in contact with the football before Reid, but perhaps because of Reid's interference, his tap-in shot went directly wide of the goal...

"Yan Min! Oh! He wasted a great opportunity to lock in the victory!" Duan Xin shouted懊恼 (ào nǎo - frustrated).

The Bayern Munich players who chased back hugged Reid one after another.

"Lucas Reid, he just made a very critical save, he kept the goal safe! If this goal was lost, Bayern Munich could be said to be powerless. But now, they still have a chance, as long as the team can quickly recover from the打击 (dǎ jī - blow) of Neuer's injury..." Marcel Reif said.

Guardiola was also shouting and yelling on the sidelines, very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the past five or six minutes.

If they hadn't been lucky, the score would be 1:4 now!

Was this team collapsing too fast?

The Bayern Munich fans in the stands were also very揪心 (jiū xīn - worried) and dissatisfied. They could only express their attitude with嘘声 (xū shēng - boos).

And the Bayern Munich players also realized that this couldn't go on. There was still plenty of time in the second half, and it wasn't time to give up yet.

They were quite worried that Reid would not be able to withstand the opponent's offensive after he came on the field, but Reid made a beautiful save just now, which greatly鼓舞 (gǔ wǔ - encouraged) the team's morale and confidence.

So everyone ran back to hug him and thank him for his save just now.

In fact, it was only one goal behind, and it wasn't the end of the world yet!

So when the game restarted again, the Bayern Munich players were no longer as昏昏噩噩 (hūn hūn è è - muddle-headed) as before.

In addition, Guardiola immediately made a substitution adjustment.

He replaced Ribery with Muller.

To inject fresh blood into the team.

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich began to发挥 (fā huī - show their power).

They压 (yā - pressed) up to attack and gained continuous shooting opportunities.

First, Robben broke through in the center and then直塞 (zhí sè - through pass) the football to Lewandowski in the ribs.

Lewandowski was half a step slower, and Weidenfeller kicked the football directly out of the sideline with his foot.

Immediately afterwards, Robben was replaced by Toni Kroos by Guardiola, continuing to inject fresh blood.

Soon Bayern Munich launched another attack.

Gotze received the ball outside the left corner of the penalty area, dribbled horizontally, and in the face of the夹击 (jiā jī - double-team) of two Dortmund players, he passed the football to Muller in the penalty area, and then he ran without the ball through the defense of the two Dortmund players.

At the same time, Gotze传 (chuán - passed) the football back to him with his heel. He received the ball near the penalty spot, and then sent it forward, giving it to Lewandowski who was waiting next to him!

This time, Lewandowski shot before Weidenfeller, but unfortunately, under Weidenfeller's interference, his shot went wide...

"Lewandowski! He missed a good opportunity! Gotze's performance is really active! Just now in such a narrow area in the penalty area, he can still play this wall-passing配合 (pèi hé - combination) with Muller, which shows that he is very confident in himself. In this game, Gotze performed so well, presumably it will make Dortmund fans even sadder..."

Duan Xin said this.

But in fact, Dortmund fans are not at all like he imagined.

Sad?

How is that possible!

Now Dortmund fans are simply going to curse Gotze to death!

Traitor!

He's so energetic when playing against his old club!
