Chapter 700 Dortmund's Key Player, Champion's Decisive Move, Adversary of Fate

When the football flew towards the touchline, Zhou Yi chased after it from behind. Only then did everyone's attention return to Zhou Yi, realizing that he had unknowingly appeared there!

Zhou Yi's appearance greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, whether it was his teammates at Dortmund or the players of Bayern Munich.

Only Neuer was turning around, planning to dive towards the far post.

But in the eyes of most people, even if Zhou Yi could catch up to the ball, it would be difficult to threaten Bayern Munich's goal.

Because the relationship between him, the ball, and the goal made it difficult for him to handle the ball. The best outcome would be to intercept the ball, and it would already be amazing if he could prevent the ball from flying out of the touchline.

Now, the relationship between the three is that the ball is flying straight towards the touchline outside the far post, and Zhou Yi is behind the ball, almost parallel to the goal.

Even if he could catch up to the ball, the most likely outcome would be to poke the ball out of the touchline—it would be difficult enough to stop the ball, let alone shoot and change its direction. Normal shots are already very difficult, and now with an unconventional shot, whether it goes in or not depends on luck…

But Zhou Yi had no intention of giving up. He sprinted hard, and then with a lunge, his entire body flew out!

After flying out, he swung his left leg out, but not to kick the ball, but to kick the outside of the ball.

Immediately following, his left leg was like a meteor hammer tied with a rope, swinging back from the outside!

This movement was very awkward. In order to exert force, Zhou Yi's entire body was twisted, with his upper body and lower body not facing the same direction, making him look like a human-shaped twisted dough twist!

The movement wasn't pretty, but it was effective.

His heel skimmed the ball, and the ball in the air suddenly took a turn, turning to fly towards… the goal!

At this moment, Neuer finally exerted force to push off the ground and dive over.

It was too late!

After drawing an incredible arc in the air, the ball grazed the far post… and went into the goal, then slammed into the side netting!

As for when Neuer finally dove over, that was no longer important…

"toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!!!!"

Marcel Reif lengthened his voice and roared, his voice breaking at the end, but he was still roaring! He took a breath and continued to roar like this.

In fact, besides roaring, whatever he said at this time, the audience in front of the TV probably wouldn't hear his voice very clearly, because the Westfalenstadion was like a volcano erupting at this moment, and a huge uproar enveloped the entire stadium, making it impossible to hear any other sounds.

All the Dortmund fans were jumping, waving their fists, shouting, and hugging.

The previous despair was suddenly blown away by a violent storm.

Duan Xin in the back studio also felt the shock coming from the scene. He seemed to be commentating live, shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to suppress the cheers of the fans with his voice: "Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!!!! Well done, Zhou Yi!! He scores a sudden death against Bayern Munich! Dortmund's key player! The champion's trump card! The opponent of fate! Zhou Yi! Amazing! He used his heel to give Bayern Munich a fatal blow! Defeating not only Bayern Munich in this game, but also Bayern Munich in the entire league season!"

On the internet, news about Zhou Yi's goal poured out like a flash flood.

"Zhou Yi! Awesome!"

"Damn! Mr. Sudden Death!!"

"This goal is simply a divine touch!"

"The league title is about to be decided!"

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Too amazing! This is the charm of football! No one knows what will happen until the last second!"

Back at the Westfalenstadion, Zhou Yi, who had finished shooting with an unconventional movement, fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he was pinned to the ground by Reus screaming.

Then, Piszczek, Gündoğan, Sven Bender, Marc, Lewandowski, Hummels, Kuba... More Dortmund players rushed up excitedly, roaring and piling on top of them.

It was impossible to hear clearly what they were shouting, maybe it was meaningful, maybe it wasn't, but none of that mattered.

What mattered was that they had taken the lead against Bayern Munich in the ninety-third minute and forty-first second of the match.

The top of the league was within reach!

After the volcanic eruption, an earthquake and tsunami came to the stands of the Westfalenstadion.

In the second half, Bayern Munich's goal was below the South Stand. At this moment, Dortmund fans in the South Stand left their original positions and surged down, squeezing to the front row. Some fans excitedly climbed onto the wire mesh wall in front of them, naked, climbed to the top, and waved Dortmund scarves in their hands.

Nothing could be heard except the "buzzing" sound throughout the stadium.

Everyone's ears seemed to have gone deaf.

At the edge of the field, Klopp jumped up from the ground the moment the ball flew into the goal, and then rushed towards Zhou Yi with open arms. He didn't care so much, he just wanted to rush into the field to join the big celebration party.

Behind him, there were also many Dortmund substitutes following.

They ran past the Bayern Munich coaching bench and substitutes' bench, rumbling like a group of wild horses running wild on the African savannah.

When they ran past, the Bayern Munich substitutes really felt the ground under their feet shaking!

They stared blankly at the group of Dortmund players running past.

Heynckes turned away in disappointment and pain, not looking at the ecstatic Dortmund substitutes and Klopp.

Facing his own players, who were stunned by the sudden and huge blow, he closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch.

Leading all the way, leading all the way, leading until the penultimate third round of the league, and being overtaken by the opponent.

Everyone's efforts for nearly a season had been in vain, and the feeling of coldness was really terrible.

※※※

Marcel Reif finally recovered a little from his excitement, but he still couldn't hide his excitement: "This was not a very good opportunity, but Zhou Yi turned it into a goal! It's really hard to imagine how such strong energy can be contained in the thin body of this Chinese boy! In the final seconds of the game, it was his desperate chase in front of the goal that helped Dortmund score this goal! Look at Zhou Yi now, can you believe that just two or three seasons ago, he was still a rookie who couldn't even last a ninety-minute game?"

Zhou Yi was pulled up from the ground by his teammates. Klopp pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in, then gave Zhou Yi a big hug. He gritted his teeth and roared in Zhou Yi's ear: "Well done, kid! You saved my life!"

No one would think he was exaggerating. At the last moment of the game, many people's hearts almost stopped beating.

This season, Dortmund seemed to have been pressed underwater by Bayern Munich, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free.

But now, they finally surfaced for the first time, breathing the air, and the feeling of coming back to life was so good!

Zhou Yi felt like he was about to die, first being crushed by ten teammates, and then being strangled by Klopp's iron hoop-like arms until he could barely breathe...

Fortunately, Klopp quickly released his powerful arms, which prevented Zhou Yi from becoming the first unlucky person in the history of professional football to be strangled to death by his coach after scoring a goal...

While Dortmund was celebrating the goal like crazy, and even fell into a carnival atmosphere, Bayern Munich players slumped to the ground. After Neuer missed the save, he didn't stand up again. He lay on the ground, put his hands on his forehead, and panted as he looked at the night sky.

The other Bayern Munich players were no better off than him.

Some covered their faces with their hands, some were stunned, and some painfully tugged at their hair, unable to believe that all this had really happened!

The Munich radio commentator, who had been saying "God is a Munich man tonight," was silent at this moment.

He really didn't know what to say. If God is a Munich man, then what is Zhou Yi? An existence even more awesome than God?

That was simply too terrifying.

But he couldn't always be silent like this, could he? As a commentator, especially a radio commentator, he was facing listeners, those who couldn't see the picture and could only hear the sound. If he didn't speak, the listeners would definitely think that their radio was broken or that there was a signal problem.

If he didn't speak, the listeners would have no way of knowing what was happening on the scene.

So he could only readjust his mood and continue his work: "...Zhou Yi scored a key goal for Dortmund in the ninety-third minute and forty-first second. Now Dortmund is leading, and there is very little time left for Bayern Munich..."

He said it listlessly, and the Bayern Munich fans in front of the radio were grief-stricken.

It was simply unbelievable that with only nineteen seconds left in the game, Bayern Munich was behind! The league lead they had in hand had flown away!

At this time, those Bayern Munich fans in front of the radio must have regretted that they had not watched the TV broadcast. Because they really wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of goal had taken away Bayern Munich's championship hopes!
