Chapter 467 The Fire is Burning

Klopp's substitution caused a huge stir in public opinion. Countless media reporters released real-time news at the first time, and fans began to discuss Gotze's departure. It was unexpected that this golden boy, who was announced early on that he would leave Dortmund after the end of the season, ended his career with the Hornets in this way.

However, this was not the case for the game on the field. The injuries of Hummels and Qin Hu were not serious. They quickly stood up again after simple treatment by the team doctor. After discovering that Gotze was directly replaced by their coach, many Dortmund players on the field showed satisfied expressions.

Obviously, their emotions towards this traitor had been accumulating for a long time, but everyone remained restrained after the game started. However, his solitary behavior and wasting the team's offensive opportunities in the past period of time finally detonated the bomb.

"Cheer up, we still have time and chance!"

When the referee signaled Dortmund to take a goal kick, Hummels, who had just blocked Qin Hu, raised his arms and shouted. Now there are no unstable factors on the team's field, and the Dortmund players, who are known for their madness, have also taken off the last shackles.

"understand!"

Loud roars came from the court, and the Hornets players seemed to have found the crazy energy they had at the beginning of the game.

This was indeed the case. When the game resumed with Weidenfeller kicking the ball out, Dortmund immediately launched a beautiful attack.

Starting from Gundogan, the midfielder dribbled the ball forward again and directly knocked Carrick away. This was the first time he had the upper hand in the confrontation with Carrick.

Then Gundogan took the ball to the left and attracted Scholes' attention. When the opponent pressed towards him, Gundogan decisively knocked the ball sideways to Reus.

"Stop and pass! Royce's handling was very clever. He rushed past Fletcher sideways~"

Reus deserves to be the one being watched by all the big clubs. The talent of this young man in his twenties is visible to the naked eye. It can be said that he is no longer a lottery ticket, but a plug-and-play star-level player.

When Reus broke through Fletcher, he dribbled the ball forward for a distance to force Phil Jones to press him, and then he passed the ball to Lewandowski who already had a one-on-one opportunity with Vidic.

"Lewandowski! He overpowered Vidic and headed the ball into the goal!"

"Boom!"

The young and the strong are better than the weak. Vidic, whose form has declined, finds it difficult to gain the upper hand against Lewandowski, who is on the rise, without the help of his teammates. All he can do is to use all his strength to hit Lewandowski in the opposite direction, which makes the opponent's header slower.

It was also because of this collision that De Gea was able to knock the ball out when it was about to fly over the goal line, and Manchester United was able to survive from the brink of life and death.

"De Gea, it's De Gea again. The ability shown by this young goalkeeper of Manchester United is already world-class. I think this player has enough ability to keep Casillas on the bench in the next generation of the Ducks."

Zhan Jun expressed his emotion that De Gea played a huge role in Manchester United's ability to keep the ball in this game. Their defense was not perfect and Dortmund was fully capable of threatening Manchester United's goal.

In the subsequent corner attack, Rooney and Van Persie in Manchester United's frontcourt had to pull back to participate in the defense. The two of them worked together to restrain Lewandowski, whose form was beginning to improve, and helped the team to finally destroy the corner kick.

But this failed to extinguish Dortmund's rekindled offensive fire. They then repeated the crazy style of play in the first half of the game, even at all costs.

"After Gotze left the field, the state of the Dortmund team directly rose to a higher level. Klopp on the sidelines redeployed Gundogan to the attacking midfielder position. The game has entered the 65th minute. It seems that the Hornets are ready to fight to the death!"

Zhan Jun's voice began to become excited, and the two sides started to attack again on the field. Although Qin Hu, Van Persie and others still posed a great threat to Dortmund's goal, their opponents no longer had any intention of increasing their defensive strength.

If they don't succeed, they will die. What's the point of stabilizing the situation? This is completely inconsistent with Dortmund's tactics that have been resounding throughout Europe. What they want is to constantly press and attack the opponent's defense to force the opponent to make mistakes under high pressure. Sixty-five minutes, seventy minutes, seventy-five minutes, ten minutes, both sides directly contributed six shots, of which Dortmund shot four. The offense and defense of both sides almost started again immediately after they ended.

During this period, in order to defend against the powerful Qin Hu, Sven Bender tackled the opponent and received a yellow card, while Piszczek also used too much force when pulling Van Persie to prevent him from entering the penalty area and was called for a foul by the referee.

Relying on the foul-destroying tactics adopted in the backcourt, the Hornets' defense blocked Manchester United's attack, and Qin Hu and others temporarily stopped.

In Dortmund's midfield, Reus, who was loved by the team members, became the best commander. The ball kept going to where it should go from under his feet. With Gundogan's escort for him, the Hornets played the most fluent stage in the midfield of the game.

Then, in the 80th minute of the game, when Reus once again pulled away from Fletcher and sent a straight pass, Phil Jones, who was chasing back, directly pulled down his opponent when Lewandowski rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

The next second, the referee blew the foul whistle and showed a yellow card to Phil Jones.

"Foul! A foul just on the left side of the penalty area. Phil Jones gave the opponent a great free kick opportunity."

This was a free kick that was too close for shooting but could be passed casually in the penalty area. Klopp on the sidelines realized that this was a great opportunity and waved his hand to signal the team's players to go to the frontcourt.

In this way, in addition to the three defenders who stayed behind, even Hummels appeared in Manchester United's penalty area.

"The game has reached the 80th minute. Dortmund urgently needs a goal. They have put a lot of effort into this set-piece attack. Okay, Reus kicked the ball!"

The ball took off from the left side outside the penalty area. As expected, it was not a shot. Instead, it made a beautiful arc and floated over the Manchester United penalty area.

"Lewandowski, he still jumped up under the double defense of Phil Jones and Vidic, and headed the ball, which changed its direction and flew to the right side of the penalty area!"

"Oh!"

A leaping figure appeared, and Hummels, who ran over from the back line, completely got rid of Rafael's defense and headed the ball with a diving header.

It was too late for De Gea to adjust his center of gravity and dive upwards. The header, which was a bit like a lob, hit the crossbar of Manchester United's goal and flew into the goal the next second.

“Shh! Shh!”

The whistle to signal the goal was scored sounded the next second.

"Goal! Hummels! In the 82nd minute of the game, he scored the equalizer for Dortmund. It was Lewandowski who assisted him!"

"boom!!!"

In the stands, half of the crowd was boiling in an instant, yellow and black flags were waving, and for a moment, it seemed as if a ball of hot flame was burning in Wembley.
