Chapter 1 A Lucky Goal

Actually, Zhou Yi was quite surprised when he saw van Buyten turn his pass to Mark into an own goal. He didn't expect van Buyten to be able to head the ball so skillfully while leaning back—many forwards might not be able to execute such a beautiful header...

Although he was surprised inside, he kept a straight face and didn't reveal his true thoughts.

Since everyone liked to call him "Wizard," and some even swore he had witchcraft, Zhou Yi didn't mind teasing them a little, letting them misunderstand even more...

So Zhou Yi hid his surprised expression, raised his arms to celebrate the goal, and put on a face that said, "Everything is under my control," as if it was all intentional...

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.

Although it was an own goal, the Dortmund players all ran to Zhou Yi to celebrate the goal with him. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's pass, there wouldn't have been van Buyten's own goal. So although the statistics wouldn't count the goal in Zhou Yi's name, everyone still looked for Zhou Yi to celebrate.

Klopp on the sidelines laughed and celebrated the goal. It came at a perfect time and was quite amusing.

Zhou Yi's pass actually caused an own goal, helping Dortmund regain the lead effortlessly.

Conversely, such a goal would obviously have a significant impact on the emotions of the Bayern Munich players.

If Dortmund could seize the opportunity and continue to put pressure on Bayern Munich's goal, they would definitely have a chance to extend their lead.

Thinking of this, he ended the celebration and rushed to the sidelines, yelling at the players on the field to remind them to continue to strengthen their attack.

Take advantage of Bayern Munich's weakness and go for the kill!

※※※

When the game restarted, the Bayern Munich players' emotions were indeed affected, and they didn't seem to have recovered from the own goal just now.

It's understandable. They had just equalized the score, and everyone was excited, looking forward to seizing the opportunity to overtake and take the lead. But only two minutes later, they were defeated by an own goal and fell behind again.

Not everyone can calmly accept such ups and downs.

Professional players are already mentally stronger than ordinary people, but such a dramatic scene still made them feel unacceptable.

The consequence of not being able to accept it was that they couldn't concentrate fully during the game.

In high-level duels, a moment's carelessness can lead to fatal consequences, not to mention a collective lapse in concentration...

Just one minute after the game restarted, Bayern Munich lost possession due to a proactive mistake in attack, and Dortmund took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Zhou Yi passed the ball diagonally to Kuba on the wing behind the center circle, and Kuba, who had switched to the right wing, then passed the ball horizontally to Gündoğan, who was surging forward.

Gündoğan took the ball and moved forward, heading towards Bayern Munich's penalty area.

The Bayern Munich players rushed back to defend, with van Buyten blocking in front of Gündoğan, but he didn't pounce, because he saw Thomas Müller rushing up from Gündoğan's side and rear. There was no need for him to tackle, he just needed to contain Gündoğan, and leave the task of intercepting the ball to Müller.

But Müller, who was rushing towards Gündoğan, was passed with a left-footed cut!

Unwilling to be dodged, Thomas Müller still wanted to struggle. His foot trailed behind, hoping to poke the ball away, but it was already the end of his strength. His foot kicked Gündoğan's foot, but it was weak and powerless, and he couldn't even knock Gündoğan down.

After dodging Müller, Gündoğan was already at the edge of the penalty area. He swung his right foot and kicked the ball that he had cut back to the center!

Shot!

Gündoğan curled the ball into an arc, heading straight for the far corner of the goal.

The shot accurately dodged the players from both sides in the penalty area, and suddenly burst out from under their cover, heading straight for the far post!

Neuer's vision was obstructed, and when he saw the ball flying over, it was too late to make a save. His body lunged out, but he didn't reach the ball. The ball flew into the goal, grazing the far post just ahead of him!

The entire Westfalenstadion erupted again.

"Gündoğan!! Beautiful goal! Beautiful goal!" Marcel Reif became excited again. "Neuer had no way to deal with this tricky shot... This game has surprised us to this point—the Bayern Munich defense has exposed so many problems in this game. Is this really the Bayern Munich team that could compete with Dortmund until the very end last season? Has Guardiola's transformation and training of the team focused only on the attack, and forgotten about the defense?"

"Dortmund was able to completely defeat Bayern Munich in both the league and the Champions League last season... There is a reason for it, and it is definitely not as some Munich media believe, that they just got lucky... Look at Dortmund's attack, after Götze and Lewandowski left, it doesn't seem to have been adversely affected. Their attacking speed is still very fast, and the quality of their attack is still very high... In the previous goal, when Gündoğan got the ball, the Dortmund players were still accelerating forward. Schmelzer even ran all the way from the backcourt to Bayern Munich's penalty area. This made the other Bayern Munich defenders dare not besiege Gündoğan, so Gündoğan only had to face van Buyten... When Gündoğan shot, there were five Dortmund players in Bayern Munich's penalty area, while Bayern Munich only had five people in front of the goal. Look at such attacking investment, look at such attacking speed, Bayern Munich didn't lose this goal unjustly at all, they can no longer attribute the loss to an unlucky own goal... Of course, the home advantage may also have some added value, but I believe that any rational person will know that this is not the deciding factor..."

Gündoğan was very excited after scoring the goal. He ran out and slid to the front of the South Stand, in front of the Dortmund fans. The other Dortmund players followed closely behind and rushed over to celebrate the goal with him and the Dortmund fans in the stands.

Klopp on the sidelines waved his fist vigorously at the stands. His arrangement worked!

※※※

Scoring consecutive goals made the Dortmund fans very excited, and also made the Dortmund players feel relaxed.

But they forgot that their opponent was Bayern Munich, which was not a team that could be easily defeated. Otherwise, why would they have been entangled with Bayern Munich for a whole season last season?

They wanted to vent their anger on Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich had snatched Götze and Lewandowski. Did Bayern Munich's players not have any anger to vent after being robbed of two important championships by Dortmund last season?

After Dortmund relaxed, Bayern Munich recovered from the shadow and blow of the goal conceded. Anyway, they were two goals behind, which instead made them let go of their burdens.

Six minutes after the goal conceded, in the sixty-fourth minute of the game, Bayern Munich launched an attack in midfield, and the ball was once again passed to the right wing. Shaqiri took the ball, and Bayern Munich captain Lahm quickly moved forward, bypassing Shaqiri from behind.

Shaqiri quickly passed the ball over, and Lahm flicked the ball slightly to the outside, creating a gap, and then crossed!

Because he slipped, the quality of this cross was not very high, and the ball rolled into the penalty area along the grass.

The ball fell at Robben's feet.

But Robben had no way to shoot directly, because he was facing away from the direction of the attack. He stretched his foot to intercept the ball that was about to roll past, but it turned him into a position with his back to the goal. How could he shoot?

However, this did not stump Robben. He skillfully turned around in the crowded Dortmund penalty area, and swung his left foot to shoot at the same time!

He completed the shot at the same time as he completed the turn.

Subotić behind Robben stretched his leg to block Robben's shot, but he didn't expect his splayed legs to give the ball space to pass through. The ball窜 passed through his crotch and went straight to the goal!

For this close-range shot, goalkeeper Weidenfeller was also powerless. He thought Robben was going to shoot at the near corner, so he lunged towards that side. Who would have thought that Robben would kick the opposite corner, just like his goal in the Champions League final last season. Weidenfeller lunged in the wrong direction and could only lie on the ground and watch the ball roll into the goal...

"Arjen Robben!! Beautiful turn and shot! Bayern Munich pulls back a goal, the score is now 2:3! Only one goal behind, there is still a chance, the game is not over yet!" Marcel Reif shouted excitedly. This game can already be called the most exciting German Super Cup in recent years.

The two sides went back and forth, with goals coming one after another like plum blossoms interspersed with bamboo, very densely.

※※※

Robben didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, but ran to the goal, picked up the ball that was returned by the net, held it in his arms, and turned around and ran towards the center circle. Bayern Munich was only one goal behind, and he wanted to seize the time, everything was still possible.

The other Bayern Munich players didn't celebrate either, they just came up and high-fived Robben, or simply followed Robben back.

Although this was Robben's seventieth official goal for Bayern Munich, it was meaningless compared to defeating Dortmund and winning the championship.

Bayern Munich, who equalized the score, became more and more courageous, while Dortmund was stunned.

Two minutes later, Bayern Munich made a comeback.

Still from the right, an attack was launched from Dortmund's left. Shaqiri crossed from the wing, and the ball flew directly to the spot after the penalty spot. Lewandowski chose to bicycle kick from ten meters in front of the goal!

Amidst exclamations, the ball went wide of the goal... Although it didn't go in, it scared the Dortmund fans a lot.

Seeing that the team's momentum was being suppressed by Bayern Munich, Klopp quickly made adjustments. He replaced Kuba with new signing Aubameyang.

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes on as a substitute, this is his first official game since joining Dortmund..." Marcel Reif introduced to German television viewers. "The Gabonese star, who transferred from Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1, is very fast. He was the second-highest scorer in Ligue 1 last season. In the open and close counterattack, Klopp obviously wants to use Aubameyang's speed to impact and threaten Bayern Munich's defense. At the same time, Aubameyang's speed can also make Bayern Munich's defense afraid, especially on Dortmund's left wing. Kuba has been blown up here by the combination of Shaqiri and Lahm, and all of Bayern Munich's threatening attacks and goals have come from here. Replacing Aubameyang may make Shaqiri and Lahm afraid, at least Lahm cannot be allowed to constantly cross..."

※※※

Not long after Aubameyang came on the field, Zhou Yi sent him a very comfortable pass in one attack. The ball did not directly reach his feet, but was deliberately passed by Zhou Yi ten meters in front of him, just to allow Aubameyang to fully display his speed. In the counterattack, Aubameyang was like an African cheetah. Just accelerating, he threw Shaqiri behind him.

After catching up with the ball, Aubameyang's speed did not decrease. He then suppressed Lahm with his speed, and then crossed from about ten meters from the baseline. Mark followed up in the middle and headed the ball, but it was directly punched out by Neuer who attacked...

Although this attack did not result in a shot, it was impressive—Aubameyang's speed was astonishing! Under the contrast of his speed, Shaqiri, who was not slow in speed, was like a snail...

Yan Min in the box also showed a surprised expression when he saw Aubameyang's breakthrough—in his opinion, this black man was really fast, and seemed to be even faster than him.

However, this surprise, whether on his face or in his heart, only lasted for a very short moment. Yan Min quickly became excited again—coming to Dortmund was the right decision, coming to Europe was the right decision, otherwise how could he meet so many powerful people? Isn't it more interesting to compete and play with them?
