Don't enter an empty door!
Nikolaos's actions dealt a heavy blow to the team's morale!
The most angry person wasn't Andy, who made the cross, nor the coach on the sidelines.
Instead, it was Marvin Duke who made a backheel pass!
If that ball goes in, he deserves at least 40% of the credit, if not half!
Even in a 1v2 situation, he could still create opportunities, passing to Andy who was making a late run.
This is an excellent highlight for attracting scouts on the field!
All the players present knew that scouts would be present at every regional league match.
One more highlight means one more opportunity in the future.
On the sidelines, head coach Hans was in a terrible mood!
His face was filled with murderous intent!
This wasn't the first chance the team wasted in the first half, but it was definitely the closest they came to scoring.
When Borussia Mönchengladbach's attack came back, it was already stoppage time.
After two consecutive corner kicks, the ball was cleared out of the penalty area!
The player receiving the ball passes it backwards, and Dortmund's formation simultaneously expands outwards.
At that moment, Borussia Mönchengladbach's number 10 suddenly passed the ball to the wing!
The player who receives the ball crosses it from a 45-degree angle!
The ball's trajectory in the air was extremely unpredictable!
When the ball flew into the penalty area, it wasn't high enough for a header; instead, it was more suitable to knock it into the goal with one's body.
The number 9 center forward leaned back and raised his left leg to prepare for a volley!
At the same time, Andy stepped forward!
This height is perfect for him to perform at!
Given the dangerous area of the penalty area, he didn't hesitate to head the ball towards the byline!
"Smack!"
Andy's nose perfectly caught his opponent's entire instep!
"Beep!"
The referee outside the penalty area immediately stopped the game.
Andy, clutching his bleeding nose, knelt before the door.
While the system can help you become immune to injuries and illnesses, it cannot make you immune to pain!
After a moment of excruciating pain, I felt short of breath and my eyes watered uncontrollably.
That's so refreshing!
The Dortmund players all swarmed around, and the captain and goalkeeper immediately approached the referee to speak.
The perpetrator repeatedly apologized to Andy.
He truly hadn't expected anyone to dare use their head and face to contest the ball with a leg.
Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?
The striking visual impact also prompted other Borussia Mönchengladbach players to exclaim in amazement!
Number 18 is a real man!
As the team doctor entered the field, Andy was taken to the sidelines to treat his injury.
The referee then blew the whistle to end the first half.
Head coach Hans immediately went to Andy's side to check on the situation!
"Andy, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, Coach, you don't need to worry."
Medical staff also stated that Andy only had mucosal bleeding and was not in serious condition.
Hans was finally relieved.
Anyone under him can get hurt now, but Andy can't!
Throughout the first half, the opponent's success rate in attacking on Andy's side was very low!
Hans was furious at the thought of the opponent's goal!
then.
The hairdryers in the away team's locker room have started working!
Apart from Andy, no one was spared.
In the second half, the two sides switched sides and started the game again.
Borussia Mönchengladbach sounded the horn of attack with a long-range shot that found the target!
Although the Dortmund players were full of energy thanks to Hans's encouragement.
However, compared to their opponents who held a one-goal advantage, they lacked a lot of patience.
Within the first 10 minutes, Dortmund's aggressive pressing was repeatedly outmaneuvered by their opponents.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were even passing the ball around in their own half!
Faced with this situation, Andy couldn't hold back any longer!
He reached out to call to his teammates!
"Don't stop!Go and steal the ball from them!"
He then led the charge!
Andy's act of leading by example successfully inspired his teammates!
Dortmund's pressure quickly threw their opponents off balance, and the ball went out of bounds.
Two minutes later, a Dortmund player was fouled, earning a free kick on the wing.
Everyone cherished this opportunity and lined up in the penalty area.
After the whistle blew, Andy passed the ball into the penalty area!
He was eventually caught by the opposing goalkeeper who rushed out to tackle him.
Then launch a counter-attack by throwing the ball in!
Borussia Mönchengladbach's newly substituted winger, Fitz Perik, dribbled the ball all the way down the field!
Everyone watching the game unconsciously tensed up!
Dortmund's entire squad retreated to defend!
Several figures, like a large yellow net, enveloped their own restricted area.
Andy relentlessly pursued Perrick, constantly using his body to disrupt him.
He finally overtook them just outside the penalty area!
A clean and decisive kick!
The ball was then regained control by a teammate, and the crisis was averted.
The center-back, who rushed back into the penalty area, gave Andy a high-five and a thumbs-up in respect.
Perrick stood up from the ground and gave Andy a dismissive smile.
"You won't be so lucky next time."
Andy was taken aback by what he heard.
Dude, you're actually pretending?
Do you have images on my screen?
You see, I'll arrange things for you and that'll be the end of it!
Sixty minutes later, Dortmund gradually retreated into their defensive formation.
It's not that they didn't want to equalize, but they had expended too much energy in the early stages of the game.
Head coach Hans has already arranged for the players to warm up on the sidelines.
Borussia Mönchengladbach immediately took control of the game!
Peric, the right winger, was the most active!
Seemingly to avenge his previous failed one-on-one attack, he deliberately targeted Andy, his opponent.
In the 62nd minute, Peric's attempt to force a pass failed, and he went down.
In the 65th minute, Andy made a proactive attack, and Peric lost possession of the ball.
In the 70th minute, Andy marked Peric closely for 5 minutes, and Peric became exhausted.
It wasn't until the 75th minute, when both sides substituted several players, that Perrick finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But after the restart, Andy was still hovering around Perrick.
The two men tugged at each other while vying for a high ball.
Andy seized the opportunity and, using a Wing Chun stance movement, "accidentally" bumped into Perrick with his elbow.On the ribs.
Perrick cried out in alarm, grabbing Andy's jersey with all his might before falling to the ground.
"Beep!"
The referee quickly arrived at the "crime scene".
Perrick clutched his back and rolled around, while Andy spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
Even after Perrick was helped up, he continued to mutter and complain.
The referee ultimately showed yellow cards to both players.
Andy was fouled, while Perrick was probably.over the top.
Of course, this was Andy's own idea.
The shrug isn't an apology, it just means you need more practice, bro!
The physical exertion was also taking its toll on Andy.
Not only were his ball-handling techniques somewhat distorted, but he also felt a tightness in his chest.
This is also why he gradually focused on defense in the second half.
The game continued, and Dortmund had several chances, but their forwards seemed to lack shooting boots.
As time went by, a sense of powerlessness crept into the hearts of the Dortmund players.
When the 90 minutes were up, a sign indicating 2 minutes of added time was displayed on the sidelines.
Although Andy perfectly limited the performance of his counterpart, he couldn't bridge the gap between the teams.
Fortunately, the opponent only scored one goal.
In the 91st minute, Lars' long-range shot hit the opposing center-back and went out of bounds.
Dortmund wins a corner kick!
This could be the last attack of the game.
Dortmund's goalkeeper also rushed from his own half to the opponent's penalty area!
Let's give it a shot!
A bicycle turned into a motorcycle!
