Perfect Center

Chapter 176 Counterattack!

The game continues.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The score on the LED screen was not changed. Both sides launched fierce attacks, but they were all loud thunder and little rain. There were many opportunities, but they were not converted into goals.

Thirty-nine minutes into the game.

Leverkusen's swift attack swept in. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans in the BayArena, Bellarabi rushed at lightning speed, dribbling the ball all the way to the end line!

"After Bellarabi stole the ball, he passed it to the other team and dribbled towards the baseline himself!"

"Go down the line! Cross the ball!"

"Look for Kiessling! The nickname of the Bundesliga header monster is not undeserved!"

After Bellarabi got rid of the entanglement, he kicked the ball and made a cross. His purpose was very clear, relying on Kiessling's header ability to attack!
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell straight into Dortmund's penalty area!
Near the landing point, Kiessling rushed forward, while Hummels and Papastathopoulos quickly double-teamed him.

The football is falling!

Bundesliga header monster vs. Papa and Hummels!

In the one-on-two situation, Kiessling was clearly at a disadvantage. Although he still touched the ball, it only bounced slightly, hit Hummels' head and flew out of the baseline!
"Oh no! Kiessling still managed to send a header despite being tightly double-teamed by two people. Unfortunately, due to interference, the quality is too mediocre!"

"Leverkusen gets a corner kick!"

"See how they will use this corner kick opportunity!"

"Mohammadi takes this corner kick! This is also Leverkusen's fourth corner kick opportunity in the first half. The first three were unsuccessful!"

Beep!
Mohammadi raised his arms, aimed at Kiesling's position, and kicked the corner kick directly!
The football flew high and fell into Dortmund's penalty area again!
The flying trajectory of the football was erratic. After Durm jumped from the front point, he successfully touched the football. He shook his head hard and cleared the football!
"The corner kick taken by Mohammed was of low quality and was cleared by Durm, who was deployed at the front point by Dortmund!"

"But this time the clearance was neither high nor far. The top of Dortmund's penalty area was a little empty!"

"Chicharito! Hernandez!"

Amid the cheers of Leverkusen fans, a figure appeared at the top of Dortmund's penalty area!

Exactly: Hernandez!

Looking at the football cleared by Durm, Hernandez's eyes were sharp. Facing the football flying in the air, he adjusted his pace and made a shooting gesture!

Under the expectant eyes of the home fans, Hernandez's right foot made close contact with the football!
The right foot hit the surface of the football hard!

boom!
Volley!

In the BayArena, the football and Hernandez's right foot made a sound like being whipped!
The arrow shot straight towards Dortmund's goal!

Burki's whole body was tense and his attention was focused. He kept stepping on small fragments and adjusting his defensive position at the moment when Hernandez volleyed!

His eyes were focused and he reacted very quickly to determine the angle of Hernandez's volley!

Burki took a step forward, pushed the grass hard with his feet, and flew to the left!

This shot was just as he expected, rushing straight towards this direction! With a snap!
It wasn’t the sound of Burki’s successful save, nor was it the sound of Hernandez’s goal hitting the net!
It was the sound of Hummels sacrificing himself to block the ball!
The football was successfully blocked by Hummels' outstretched foot, bounced straight into the sky and flew out of the baseline!
"Wow!"

“A wonderful corner kick attack!”

"Leverkusen's first corner kick was cleared by Durm! But the ball was controlled by Hernandez. Oh, no, Hernandez did not control it, but chose to volley the ball directly into the air!"

"It was quite high quality! He controlled the volley very well, the ball didn't fly up, but went straight to the goal!"

"Bürki reacted quickly and made a good save! But even faster than him was the iron wall of defense in front of him: Dortmund captain Hummels!"

"The Dortmund captain who was rumored to be dating the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich released a piece of news not long ago. He said that during this period of time, he will do his best to fight for Dortmund!"

"Leverkusen gets another corner kick opportunity!"

"Mohammadi is still responsible for taking this corner kick!"

Before Mohammadi left the vicinity of the corner flag area, he once again stood at the corner flag area.

He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm.

He raised his arms high, and after the referee blew the whistle, he kicked the ball out without any hesitation!

The football chased into Dortmund's penalty area!
Kiessling squeezed away the entanglement of two Dortmund central defenders, pushed off the grass with his feet, and jumped high!
boom!
A powerful header!
Burki stood there in a daze, unable to react, as Kiessling's header was too powerful!

Amid the eager cheers and shouts, the header finally hit the crossbar, and the interference of Hummels and Papastathopoulos successfully achieved the effect.

There is no time to feel the blessing of surviving a disaster, Dortmund is still not out of danger!
Burki's mind regained clarity and he snatched the ball away immediately.

Just as he was about to take a break, he saw Tuchel waving his hands on the sidelines, forward, forward!
He looked up and saw Xia Han waving at him near the center circle!

"Counterattack!" Before Burki's brain could react, his feet had already reacted for his brain!

Bang!
Burki kicked the ball out with a long kick!
"Kiessling's header was very threatening! What a pity! It was just a hair's breadth away! The crossbar of the BayArena protected Dortmund's defense this time!"

The commentator was still marveling at Kiessling's header.

Suddenly, the whole audience was in an uproar, booing like waves!
"Hey! Counterattack! Dortmund's counterattack is coming! Burki kicks the ball to find Xia Han!"

"Leverkusen's backcourt is very empty now!"

"The only ones left are Kampl who has a yellow card and Wendel, the young Brazilian full-back!"

Burki's long pass was a little crooked, but it was harmless. Xia Han adjusted his position and resisted Kampl who didn't dare to make big moves!

The first landing point of the football was naturally firmly grasped by Xia Han.

When the football fell, Xia Han leaned on Kampl, knocked the ball with his heel, then accelerated and passed by Kampl's side!
"Dortmund's counterattack!"

"When Xia Han received the ball, he knocked it with his heel and broke through with the advantage of his own speed and explosiveness! There was a large space in front! In Leverkusen's half, apart from goalkeeper Leno, there was only Wendel, who was strong in offense but weak in defense!"

"Can Xia Han's counterattack change the score this time?"
