Chapter 469: The Decisive Battle of Munich (9)
Ronaldo watched the ball's trajectory out of the corner of his eye as he ran forward, and he was pretty sure he was definitely not offside, because the Brazilian watched carefully enough before starting, and before Effenberg passed, he ran right into his own half and threw Clay in front of him, who was dragging in front of the Dortmund defence!
Ronaldo, on the other hand, waited until Effenberg passed the ball before accelerating forward - it was definitely a beautiful anti-offside!
However, just as the alien was about to catch up with the ball, he heard an extremely piercing whistle!
Ronaldo! Offside!
The referee, who still had a whistle in his mouth, pointed his finger at Ronaldo very firmly, signaling that the Brazilian was already in an offside position when attacking, and Dortmund got a set-piece at the back.
"Holy! That eye of yours sees me offside! Ronaldo was very annoyed by the referee's decision, he was sure that he was absolutely not offside, didn't he see that even the assistant referee on the sidelines did not raise the flag at all?
The assistant referee is also trying to communicate with the referee at the moment, from his point of view, Ronaldo's goal just now is clearly a good ball, and the referee has no basis for blowing offside.
Therefore, when the assistant referee saw the referee blowing Ronaldo's offside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart I didn't raise the flag so close, you are so far away that you can see it so clearly?
At this time, the big screen over the stadium did not give the referee any face, and showed what had just happened in slow motion - the TV screen clearly showed that Ronaldo and Dortmund central defender Clay were on the same level at the moment of Effenberg's pass!
The evidence was ironclad, and the referee, who knew that he had made a mistake, blushed slightly, changed his judgment and gave Fiorentina a set-piece in front.
Capello was so angry that Capello jumped to his feet on the sidelines, and the set-piece was more than 30 metres away from the Dortmund goal, which was obviously not the same as the threat of Fiorentina's one-on-one goal that had just been blown offside.
"Sir, just now my player has had a very good one-on-one chance, but it was ruled offside by Mr. Poole (Sandor Poole, a Hungarian referee who officiated in the Shijie Cup final in '94) and now he has given us a free-kick in front of us from the same position...... I think anyone who knows the ball knows which one is more beneficial to the attacker, a one-handed ball or a free kick from 30 meters away. ”
The Italian coach complained to the fourth official on the sidelines with a serious expression, although it didn't help, but he needed to stand up and make a gesture at this time, otherwise the old and dizzy referee would probably make the same mistake next time.
"Coach Capello, I will truthfully report your words to the relevant departments at the higher level after the game, and I believe that I will give you a satisfactory answer." Playing in the Champions League final, the fourth official has also officiated a number of games, and the experienced smile persuaded the angry Capello to return to the dugout.
At this point, on the pitch, the game was still raging, and the Fiorentina players seemed to have been angered by Sandor Poole's miscalculation, and they were working harder and harder to keep the Dortmund attack firmly out of the door.
For Heathfield, it would certainly be a gamble to keep the team on the attack. If Dortmund fails to pull one back in the following time, or even if Fiorentina seizes the opportunity to score another goal, then this game can be said to have completely entered garbage time. After all, at that time, Fiorentina, who has a three-goal lead, only needs to put on a bucket formation, and Dortmund wants to complete the reversal in less than half an hour, which is simply an impossible task!
Therefore, in this hostile situation, Heathfield has no other way but to gamble!
In the following time, the players of both teams continued to press and entangle fiercely in the midfield.
Seeing this situation, Dortmund's two full-backs also began to insert assists frequently, and when the situation could not be opened in the middle, it was not a way to break the deadlock by flying from the wings to cross directly to the striker.
It's just that in the face of Zambrotta and Robert Carlos, Reut and Heinrich didn't dare to press too much, and only dared to make a 45-degree cross about 30 meters away from the goal.
After all, Dortmund would have had a lot of fun if they were used as a breakthrough to last quick counter-attack by going too deep into Fiorentina's half. Reuth and Heinrich did not dare to pin their hopes on another presbyopia attack by the referee, blowing Fiorentina's good ball for offside......
In the 75th minute of the game, Summer's through ball was cleared by Davies first, but the ball kicked out by the Dutch boar was headed down by Jurgen Kohler!
Zolke grabbed the ball from Kohler, turned and passed it to Heinrich on the right before Effenberg could get inside.
Heinrich pushed forward with the ball, and after Carlos rushed over to defend him, the German defender made full use of his physical advantages, and at a height of 1.85 meters, he turned around and blocked Carlos, who was less than 1.7 meters, and then observed the position of his teammates in the middle, and directly picked up his right foot and sent a diagonal pass, passing the ball to the middle!
Andres Müller lifted his foot to stop the ball and Davies immediately rushed over to make a run for the German. Seeing this, Muller immediately raised his foot and transferred the ball to Chapuisat who pulled to the left side of the penalty area, Nesta flew over at the first time, he wanted to intercept the ball before the Swiss striker received the ball, but he didn't expect that this time the force was a little too big, and the ball actually bounced back to Muller's feet after touching Nesta's calf!
Muller's reaction was quick, and after seeing the ball bounce back, he immediately ran in the direction of the ball, and Davis, who was a beat slower, was left behind by him!
Muller got the ball smoothly, but he didn't choose to hit the goal directly, but made a feint to shoot and then flicked his ankle and passed the ball to Riddle, who was fighting Ferrara!
Seeing Muller's pass, Riddle kept Ferrara out of him, and it was a little difficult for Riddle to win a heads-up against the Italy international centre-back in a face-to-face situation, but he was definitely physically fit for the nickname 'Leopard Tank'.
After leaning on Ferrara, Riddle picked up his right foot and came directly near the penalty spot with a 180-degree turn and volley!
Riddle's shot flew close to the turf towards Fiorentina, the ball flew under the arm of the flying save Toldo, and then grazed the far post and flew into the back of the net behind the Italian international!
One to two! Borussia Dortmund pull one back!
