Chapter 988 This is Zlatan! (Happy Spring Festival, family happiness)(1/2)
Dortmund players have been explaining and pleading to the referee.
But, it's useless.
Faced with the explanations of these people, referee Scormina kept shaking her head.
The penalty made is impossible to change.
Besides, his position is very good, he can see it clearly, the penalty kick is obvious, and Scormina is very determined about this penalty.
"Scormina's attitude is very firm. He thinks this is a penalty kick and will not change his penalty." He Wei said. "From the replay, the handball is indeed very obvious. There is no problem with this penalty kick. Aston Villa got an excellent opportunity to expand the total score."
"If this penalty is scored, Aston Villa will lead 2-0 in total." Zhang Lu also said.
When he saw the referee awarding a penalty kick, Fang Jue jumped out of his seat and excitedly hugged and celebrated with the people around him.
One-to-zero away game is not safe, because as long as Dortmund scores a goal, he can equalize the overall score.
Therefore, in this case, Aston Villa must also score a goal, which is safer.
Or to be the most practical, in Fang Jue's view, Aston Villa must score two goals to make him feel at ease.
Because even if it is one to zero, Dortmund only needs to score two more goals, and the 2 to one score is enough to advance by relying on the away goal advantage.
If there are two goals, Dortmund must score three goals if he wants to turn the tables.
It’s not that Fang Jue is proud, he absolutely does not believe that Dortmund can score three goals in Aston Villa on Aston Villa’s territory.
It’s not just Dortmund, but Fang Jue is very confident that no team in football can do this.
...
Klopp was angry, helpless, but useless.
The penalty for penalty kick cannot be changed.
Aston Villa's penalty kick was Milner.
Yes, in Aston Villa, the first penalty kicker was not Ibrahimovic, but Milner, which Fang Jue ordered.
Milner stood at the penalty spot.
Referee Scormina blew the whistle in her mouth.
Milner runs up and shoots.
He deceived Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
Weidenfeller rushed to his right, while Milner shot to the other side.
The ball entered.
“goooooooooooooooooooooaal!”
"Milner! Milner! James Milner! Milner scored the penalty created by De Bruyne, one-to-zero! Aston Villa led Dortmund 1-0 at home at St Andrews Stadium, and the total score became 2-0!"
"Wedenfeller was unable to save the penalty, zero to one, and the total score was behind zero to two. However, time is still there, the Hornets should not be discouraged. As long as we can score two goals, we can not only equalize the total score, but also advance with the away goals." The German commentator cheered Dortmund.
...
After taking a one-to-zero lead, Aston Villa was not conservative.
They played according to the originally scheduled game tactics and rhythm.
This actually made Klopp feel relieved.
He is really afraid that Aston Villa will become conservative after scoring the goal.
Once Aston Villa shrinks to defend, Klopp really doesn't have enough confidence in Dortmund's goal breaking Aston Villa.
After the game ended twenty-one minutes, Ibrahimovic picked a pass in front of the penalty area.
The football was blocked by Hummels in the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic immediately raised his hand and signaled Hummels to handball.
Aston Villa's players are also raising their hands.
However, this time the referee Scormina did not agree. He shook his finger, meaning that this was not a penalty kick.
Slow motion shows that Scormina's penalty was relatively correct. The football kicked by Ibrahimovic hit Hummels with his upper arm and his upper arm was not opened, which is indeed impossible to call a penalty.
Fang Jueke didn't care about that much, he protested unhappily on the sidelines: the referee wiped out our penalty kick! No matter what you think, I think so anyway.
This is also a strategy, a psychological warfare strategy.
This will invisibly put pressure and psychological hints on the referee. Even if the referee confirms that his penalty is correct, if there is a penalty that is not conducive to Aston Villa, the referee may hesitate a little.
Five minutes later, Kyle Walker brought down Reus on the wing.
Scormina verbally warned Kyle Walker.
This caused strong dissatisfaction from Klopp, who believed that Walker should at least deserve a yellow card.
"Please calm down, Mr. Klopp." The fourth official said.
"I can't calm down." Klopp sneered, "Okay, that's great, Villa's home court!"
"Shut up, Mr. Klopp, I will keep your comments on the record." The fourth official warned harshly.
"Shut up, no problem, I'll shut up immediately, I know, this is Villa's home court." Klopp continued to chatter.
"Mr. Klopp!"
"Okay, I'll shut up, to be honest, don't you let me say it?"
The fourth official had a stern expression and warned him to notify the referee, so Klopp shut up in disappointment.
...
Then, just four minutes later.
Dortmund launched an attack, Gundogan passed through the penalty area, Aubameyang dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and he fell to the ground after contacting Thiago Silva.
The whistle of referee Scormina sounded again and he pointed to the penalty spot.
The sky above St Andrews Stadium suddenly booed.
"Punishment! Scormina awarded the penalty again, and he thought Thiago Silva had a foul on Aubameyang."
"Let's look at slow motion"
The commentators watched the slow-motion replays several times through multiple angles, but they were unable to accurately determine whether Thiago Silva actually touched Aubameyang's ankle.
"Scormina's position is good, maybe he can see it the most clearly, so his attitude towards penalty kicks is very firm."
"Scomina ignored the protests of Aston Villa players. He firmly awarded the penalty. This was a fair penalty." The German commentator said excitedly, "If this ball is entered, it will be too critical."
"This is a penalty kick? This is a penalty kick? My man is at least three hundred meters away from that guy!" Fang Jue was furious on the sidelines. Now it was his turn to protest to the fourth official.
The former beloved disciple Aubameyang has now become that guy in Fang Jue's mouth.
"Please calm down, Mr. Fang Jue." The fourth official said that he did not discuss the essence of the problem with Fang Jue. This was not his job. Before the referee submitted his post-match report, others did not have the right or qualification to express their opinions on this matter.
"How can I calm down? A penalty kick that doesn't exist!"
"Mr. Fang Jue!"
"Are I wrong about what I said? I didn't see a foul! This is a serious misjudgment!"
The fourth official was helpless.
He knew that no matter what he said, he would not change the guy's opinion. He could only glar at Fang Jue: "I hope you pay attention to your words. I will record your attitude and words in the game report..."
Fang Jue turned and left, ignoring the warning of the fourth official.
...
Dortmund's penalty.
Gundogan comes to take the punishment.
The penalty kick taken by the German midfielder was judged correctly by his compatriot Ter Stegen, who saved the football.
However, Reus reacted quickly, and he rushed into the penalty area and shot the football into the net.
The ball has entered!
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
"Reus! Reus! Marco Reus! Dortmund equalized the score, one-to-one! The total score is one-to-two. Dortmund only scores another goal and can advance by the advantage of away goals!"
"Terstegen has done a great job. He saved the penalty, but he is really powerless to do anything about the second supplementary shot!"
"Aubameyang created a penalty kick, Reus scored a football shot, and the two former favorites joined forces to help Dortmund equalize the score. Fang Jue's mood must be very complicated now."
Even if it was just a penalty kick, Klopp seemed very excited.
This penalty is too critical.
One to one, although Dortmund is still one goal behind, the situation on the field has changed.
In fact, Dortmund is now booming in morale and fighting spirit.
The pressure went to Aston Villa instead.
To be continued...
