Chapter 69: Hat-trick

In the 87th minute, the game returned to normal.

The 2-1 scoreline was an unconcealable temptation for Ajax, who needed only one goal to equalise and walk away from Westphalia.

A point of 1 and a point of 0 can sometimes make the difference between a team and a team's ability to qualify from a group, especially in a group of death like Group D.

Real Madrid, Manchester City, Dort, Ajax!

There are giants, upstarts, declining giants, and young teams!

In such a group, no one wants to score 0 points in the first leg, which will be extremely detrimental to the rest of the game.

Similarly, for Borussia Dortmund, the temptation of three points is certainly greater than one, and they don't want to be equalised in the closing stages.

It was Klopp who adjusted the lineup accordingly, strengthened the defense, and replaced the players who were physically exhausted, just to keep the current score.

But Jurgen Klopp's football is not about backing down and sticking to it, he is a striker, and his football philosophy is to replace the defense with the attack, and the opponent has no way to fight back, so the defense is successful.

So after the game returned to normal, Dortmund's attack was still as wonderful as mercury, as fierce as a drop of mercury, wave after wave, overwhelming Ajax.

Frank de Boer found it difficult for his team to get the ball up front, and when he got the ball, he had to kick it out aimlessly, mostly back at the feet of the Borussia Dortmund players.

That's what Klopp wants, this kind of forcing the opponent to breathe, unable to think, unable to perform at a normal level, this is his forced attack.

Lin Yu played a vital role in this wave of attacks, don't look at the gauze on his eyebrow bones, but his bravery is not inferior to before he was injured.

Again and again, he shook off the Ajax defenders, passed the ball to the middle, the right side, or shot directly with his feet, although the Ajax back line withstood this wave of indiscriminate bombardment, but the obvious physical strength was very bad, and some people have begun to cramp.

In the 89th minute of the game, in just two minutes, Dortmund had actually scored five shots on goal, and the ball barely left their feet.

Frank de Boer saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly opted for a substitution, and he strengthened his defense because he did not want to concede more goals, and even if he could not equalize, he must not concede too many goals, after all, goal difference can sometimes be an important basis for qualifying.

The fourth official held up the sign for five minutes of stoppage time, and it seemed that because many players had cramps in the second half, coupled with the delay of Lin Yu's injury, the stoppage time would be so long.

But it's only five minutes.

Soon, the game went to stoppage time, and Ajax's style of play became more simple and rough, basically the goalkeeper went to the forward line with a big foot, and the midfielder simply ignored it.

But this kind of attack is too inefficient, and the ball has repeatedly fallen into the feet of Dortmund players, after all, Dortmund's midfielders are absolutely excellent even in the whole world.

"See, our players still haven't given up attacking, especially Lin Yu, although he has been injured, he still hits the Ajax back again and again, does he want to score a hat-trick in this Champions League match that the world is watching?" The commentary on the scene was a little excited, and his tone began to tremble, he couldn't think of any other reason to make Lin Yu work so hard, after all, the team is now ahead, in fact, it is okay to slow down.

The idea of commenting is not wrong, of course Lin Yu wants a hat trick, because now he is only one goal away from the hat trick, if he waits until the next league, maybe there will not be such a good chance.

The game had already reached the third minute of stoppage time, which was 93 minutes into the game, and there were only two minutes left before the end.

Blaszczykowski passed the ball to Lewandowski in the middle, Lewandowski wanted to turn around, but he was stubbornly defended by Ajax's defenders, and it was a two-man attack, no matter which way he turned, it was very difficult.

At this time, he saw Lin Yu suddenly inserting in front, only a line away from offside, he didn't dare to think about it, he picked the ball on his back, directly picked the defenders of Ajax, and picked Lin Yu.

Several of Ajax's defenders raised their hands, and they signaled that Lin Yu was offside, but the referee ignored it.

Lin Yu didn't pay attention to it.

In fact, this ball, Lin Yu is indeed suspected of offside, but it is only a millimeter, if you change to someone else, I am afraid that you will be judged offside, but because Lin Yu has the supporting talent of poacher skills "linesman darling", even if it is really offside, as long as it is not too obvious, there will be a certain chance of being punished for a good ball.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Ajax defenders relaxed, he stopped the ball steadily and then made a shooting gesture directly.

Ajax's defenders were in a hurry and used their bodies to block Lin Yu's shot.

However, Lin Yu did not shoot, but chose to pick up the ball, and then quickly changed direction, making his position closer to the goal, and the angle of the shot was more comfortable.

Maybe it was so true that even God favored Lin Yu, and at this time, the skill talent that changed direction to "shake down" also worked, and the two defenders defending him collided face to face, and both fell to the ground.

Where would Lin Yu let go of such a good opportunity and shoot directly with his feet.

At the same time, Ajax's goalkeeper Vermeer rushed over and pinned him down.

He didn't see the ball fall to the ground or not, but he heard the cheers of the whole stadium.

"The ball is in! The ball is in again! Hat-trick, wonderful hat-trick! Lin Yu did it, he scored a hat-trick in his first Champions League game, and he single-handedly made a mess of the Ajax penalty area. The narrator of the scene was slapping the table and shouting excitedly, his hands were already reddened, but he didn't seem to notice it at all, he was only yelling now, just wanting to celebrate.

He doesn't know why he is so happy, maybe it's because he's been suppressed for too long, Dortmund was founded in 1911 and has a long history, but only beat Juventus in 1997 to win the European championship trophy! Since then, the Hornets have had few results in the Champions League.

Even if Klopp won the Bundesliga championship in the first two seasons of coaching, but he still couldn't even qualify for the group in the Champions League.

But today, he saw hope, although the game is not over, but there is only about a minute left, Ajax can't change anything, Dortmund won, which is worth gratifying, but what makes him even more happy is that Dortmund has produced such a good seedling, such a hope, a guy who can bring people hope to win the championship!
