NOVEL FROG Chapter 169
After Bayern threw the ball out of bounds, they began to organize an attack.
Unfortunately, the Dortmund players who were now leading all returned to defense. Bayern had no good offensive opportunities and could only choose to pass the ball back to the half court and reorganize.
Unfortunately, when Alonso passed the ball to his teammates in the middle, he made a mistake in passing and passed it directly to Dembele's feet.
Dembele got the ball and dribbled forward. Just after crossing the center line, his steps were not adjusted well, and his feet were mixed with garlic. His legs softened and he lost control of the ball.
Thiago and Vidal were originally preparing to rush back to the penalty area to defend. Seeing Dembele fall to the ground, they reacted quickly and turned around to grab the ball.
Dembele wanted to protect the ball, but Vidal still grabbed the ball and rushed forward quickly with the ball. Vidal passed the ball to Lewandowski. When Bartra confronted Lewandowski, he lost his balance and took the ball out of the sideline.
Lahm stepped forward to throw the ball out of bounds. When Vidal received the ball, Rod poked the ball out from behind.
Dembele, who responded, stretched out his left foot and poked the ball to Miyuan.���After receiving the ball, Yuan wanted to dribble forward. Seeing Alonso rushing in front of him and Lahm rushing behind him, he directly knocked the ball to Ramos.
Ramos dribbled forward. Facing the double team of two people, he stopped suddenly and passed the ball to Paslack who was advancing on the wing.
Paslack dribbled along the wing and strode forward.
At the same time, Bayern's players quickly returned to defense. Ramos, Aubameyang, and Miyuan also advanced at high speed, looking for an opportunity to receive the ball.
When Ramos rushed forward, he stretched out his hand for the ball, and Paslack pushed the ball directly to Ramos.
Schmelzer also rushed up from the backcourt at this time and stretched out his hand for the ball. When Ramos passed the ball to him, he dribbled forward quickly. When he kicked the ball outside the penalty area, it hit the defender and bounced out.
Rod caught up and got the ball, but his center of gravity was unstable when he got the ball, and he hurriedly passed the ball back to the midfield.
Bartra rushed up and got the ball. He took two steps and kicked a long shot directly.
His kick was powerful, but it became an anti-aircraft gun. Tuchel on the sidelines was speechless and couldn't bear to watch.
Tuchel walked to the bench with a curse. He needed to drink some water to calm down.
The players who were ready to receive the ball and attack in the frontcourt were also speechless. They wasted a good attacking opportunity.
In the next two minutes, both sides kept changing the ball quickly, and neither of them completed an effective attack.
In the 56th minute, Schmelzer dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and sent a diagonal pass directly to Dembele.
When Dembele got the ball, he avoided Hummels's interception and quickly advanced to the front of the penalty area with the ball.
The Bayern players returned to defense very quickly. In an instant, there was a desperate defensive player in front of Dembele, and Vidal rushed up quickly behind him. Dembele, who had just scored a goal, seemed to have finally found his form. Facing the blockade of four Bayern players, he used a feint to stagger his position and shot directly with his left foot.
Unfortunately, the ball hit a Bayern defender when it flew out, and was touched by Neuer's palm when he saved the ball, and the ball flew out of the baseline.
Dembele's dream of scoring twice was shattered, and he ran directly to the left corner area to take the corner kick.
After the corner kick was taken, the first point was broken out of the penalty area by Bayern's defenders, and was taken by Dortmund players on the periphery, who passed the ball to Aubameyang on the right side of the penalty area.
Under the interference of Alaba, Aubameyang barely lifted the ball into the penalty area when the ball was about to go out of the baseline.
Players from both sides were in a melee at the front of Bayern's penalty area. In the chaos, Bayern still got the ball and handed it to Ribery who retreated to the midfield.
Bartra rushed directly across the half court, and when Ribery turned sharply before receiving the ball, he committed a tactical foul and knocked down Ribery.
This foul gave Dortmund players the opportunity to return to defense, and Bayern took a free kick in the backcourt.
Bayern kicked the ball out, and after three passes in the backcourt, it was directly passed to Thiago on the right side of Dortmund. After receiving the ball, Thiago turned around and pretended to break through.
The fake move deceived the Dortmund defenders, dodged the empty space, and suddenly made a long pass to Lewandowski in front.
Lewandowski instantly exploded and rushed forward to receive the ball. Bartra, who was beside him, had been following him, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball.
Before receiving the ball, Lewandowski made a sudden stop, got rid of Bartra, and passed the ball to Muller who was inserted in the middle.
Papastathopoulos had been marking Muller. When the latter saw the ball coming, he turned his back to Papastathopoulos and stretched out his right foot to stop the flying football.
Erwa was really smart. He did not stop the ball by force. He knew very well that if he stopped the ball by force, he would miss the opportunity to attack.
While his right foot blocked the ball, he moved his legs and feet along the force of the ball, as if the football was stuck to his feet.
Seeing Vidal rushing up from the middle, he shook his ankle and pushed the ball to Vidal with his toes.
Vidal, who was advancing, kicked the ball and shot it. The ball was saved by Burki, but the ball fell in front of Vidal again, and he made a second shot.
This time he did not hit the ball away, but directly pushed the ball into the far corner and scored.
The referee blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid. The score on the field was rewritten to 3:1 in the 57th minute.
Bayern was still two goals behind, but they still had more than 30 minutes to turn the situation around.
This goal also made the Bayern fans, who had been silent for dozens of minutes, active. They shouted slogans and encouraged the players to equalize the score.
Vidal's two consecutive shots in the first half were unsuccessful, but this time he successfully sent the ball into the net.
Burki had no way to deal with such a supplementary shot. He blocked the near foot, but Vidal calmly sent the ball to the far corner at a small angle.
Bayern did not waste time celebrating. Vidal just made a heart above his head towards the stands and quickly returned to his position, ready to welcome Dortmund's new round of attack.
Dortmund's players knew very well that although they were still two goals ahead, they could not relax at this time.
If they relaxed a little, Bayern would find an opportunity. Bayern played 90 minutes in the whole game. Even if they played badly for 80 minutes, they would create miracles as long as they were given ten minutes.
After recovering a goal, Bayern's morale soared and they defended more actively. In Dortmund's first attack, Dembele was knocked down by the close defender when he took the ball. The referee did not call a foul, but the ball was kicked out of the sideline by Bayern.
Schmelzer threw the ball out of bounds, and Dortmund players passed the ball back to the middle without a good attacking opportunity.
Bartra, who followed in the middle, passed the ball to Bayern's right. Aubameyang, who inserted at high speed, failed to head the ball when competing with Alaba, and the ball was headed out of the baseline by Alaba.
Dortmund got another corner kick. Dembele kicked the ball to the middle, but the first point was grabbed by Bayern's defender and the ball flew out of the penalty area.
