Chapter 258 The situation has changed
Yan Min, who scored the goal, felt that he was in very good shape, and he was as confident as now.
When he gets the ball, he dares to lead and break through no matter what the situation is.
Just after Lucas Jr. wasted a scoring opportunity from Paris Saint-Germain, Yan Min received a football scored by Zhou Yi on the sidelines of the frontcourt.
Although Zhou Yi was not far away to meet him, he still chose to drive the ball into the penalty area.
His starting speed is very fast, which is Yan Min's characteristic, so even if he takes the ball on the spot and starts again, Yan Min can use this specialty to get rid of his opponent.
He broke into the penalty area very smoothly.
Facing Verati who was played back in the penalty area, Yan Min still had no intention of passing the ball, although Zhou Yi was next to him. He still chose to dribble the ball.
Because he is confident that he can break through and shake Virati away.
His confidence sometimes makes people feel that he is unclear and wastes opportunities, but sometimes it can make people cheer for the miracles he has created...
This time when he accelerated and rushed into the penalty area and faced Veratti, he suddenly slowed down. While slowing down, his right foot gently tweaked the football to the side, and then he would change direction and dodge Veratti's frontal defense.
As a result, at this moment, the two of them had physical contact. I don’t know if it was Veratti who ran into Yan Min, or if Yan Min ran into Veratti during the change of direction.
In short, the two people had physical contact, and Yan Min lost his balance and fell to the ground...
The Dortmund fans in the stands were impatient to make a verdict: "This is a foul!"
"Punishment! Prisoner!"
Yan Min, who was lying on the ground, also turned his head and looked at the referee.
But the referee shook his head and waved his hand, indicating that it was not a penalty kick.
Yan Min was confused at first, and then he jumped up from the ground and wanted to go to the referee to argue - how could it be that the opponent knocked me down, but why was it not a penalty kick?!
But he was stopped by Zhou Yi who rushed over: "What are you doing? Do you have a yellow card on you, forgot?"
Yan Min was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was carrying a yellow card. He was so excited that he really forgot...
If he goes to the referee to argue at this time, if he has any rude words, the referee may just send him off...
He didn't want to be sent off just after he got into the form.
So no matter how unhappy he was, he could only swallow his anger.
Yan Min had to compromise, but the Dortmund fans in the stands no longer had to bear such psychological burdens. They used boo and scold to express their attitude towards the referee's penalty.
Marcel Leif and He Ping also expressed their doubts one after another.
"How could this not be a penalty kick? There was a clear physical contact between the two of them? Verati even had a pulling move on his hand, and of course he let go quickly... But I think there should be no problem in awarding a penalty kick! Yan Min did lose the center of gravity because of Verati's physical contact... "Marcel Leif stood firmly on Dortmund's side.
He Ping also felt that the referee's penalty was worth discussing: "...It cannot be said that because there was no obvious hand movement, this is not a foul. Verati obviously pressed his entire body center of gravity after seeing Yan Min breaking through and not having time to make other defensive moves, which caused Yan Min to fall... This should be a penalty!"
The French commentator has different positions from them, and of course his views are different: "Yan Min's movements are very cunning. This should be a fake fall. The physical contact between Veratti and him is not serious enough to make him fall like this... Yan Min still wants a penalty kick? It would be nice if the referee didn't give him a yellow card! You must know that he already has a yellow card. I think the referee must have considered this, so he still showed mercy... Otherwise, Dortmund should have one less person to fight now!"
※※※
Although Yan Min's breakthrough did not bring a penalty kick, it did not affect his confidence and performance.
Three minutes later, he was knocked down by Yalei when he broke through again on the side. The referee finally fouled this time and gave Dortmund a free kick from the side of the frontcourt. However, he did not give Yalei a yellow card, but only a verbal warning, which once again aroused the dissatisfaction of Dortmund fans in the stands, and booed again for a moment.
The position of this free kick is almost the same as the position of the free kick that Shahin almost scored before, which inevitably makes people think about it.
And this free kick was indeed taken by Shahin, and the goal was also crowded with people.
After Shahin's free kick was taken, he did not encounter anyone in the middle of the game and then arrived at the area in front of the goal. Instead, he successfully arrived at the area in front of the goal. A group of people jumped up to compete for the top, and the football fell down in the melee. The defender Hummels, who was fighting for the top, happened to be at the back. He didn't wait for the ball to land, followed by a volley!
But unfortunately, he might have wanted to exert force too much. This shot was so powerful that he could be called a powerful force. As a result, he kicked it out. The football drew an external arc and was greatly out of the bottom line...
"Hummels' kick... is really a defender's footwork!" He Ping couldn't help but complain. "At such a close distance, it's in the small penalty area. Even if you push it gently, as long as you can hit the football, there is a high chance of hitting the football..."
The TV broadcast also gave a close-up shot of a middle-aged female fan in the stands behind the goal. The Dortmund fan in the camera covered his mouth with his hands and kept shaking his head, looking at the direction of the football in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that Hummels could waste such opportunities.
Although Hummels did not score this goal, it at least shows that Dortmund is the dominant one in the field now. Maybe Paris Saint-Germain will not have such good luck next time...
Dortmund's tide offensive also put a lot of pressure on Paris Saint-Germain.
Originally, it was a safer score to lead 3:1 at home. Not long after the game started, the opponent's main player, Reus, was injured and ended. No matter how you look at this situation, it will be more beneficial to them...
Unexpectedly, I lost a goal now, and the situation suddenly changed fundamentally.
Paris Saint-Germain is clearly ahead in the overall score, but is at a complete disadvantage in form...
The players' mentality has also changed and they have become a little impatient.
In the 39th minute, Matuidi was too anxious when she counterattacked in the frontcourt and fouled Sven Bend. Although he had already grabbed the ball, he pushed Sven Bend down.
The referee blew his whistle to pause the game.
This aroused Cavani's dissatisfaction, and he shouted at the referee, but eventually he received a yellow card for himself.
And because of this yellow card, even if Paris Saint-Germain passes Dortmund's level and advances to the semi-finals, he will miss the first leg of the semi-finals.
"Cavani's yellow card shouldn't be eaten. Matuidi fouled. He went up to fight for a bad situation. He was rude and took a yellow card himself. He couldn't play the next game... Of course, it is also possible that Cavani can't play the next Champions League regardless of whether there is or not... As the current momentum develops, it is not impossible..."
After Cavani's yellow card, there were five minutes left in the first half, and during these five minutes, both sides did not cause any trouble.
In the end, Dortmund temporarily led 1:0 at home, ending the first half.
Although he led one ball, when the player walked down at the end of the first half, Weidenfeller, as the team's captain, ran to the head coach quickly and discussed with him that Yan Min fell in the penalty area in the first half.
Of course, Weidenfeller is not trying to trouble the referee, but just as the captain, to show him Dortmund's attitude. This is also a reminder to the referee, implying that Dortmund is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded casually, and the judgment scale should not be too excessive. This time, this penalty was not awarded, Dortmund suffered a loss, but I hope that the referee would think more when making the penalty in the second half...
