Perfect Center

Chapter 155: Unable to attack for a long time
"Ziller reacted quickly and jumped to the ground to save the ball in time!"

"Xia Han's shot was blocked and Dortmund got a corner kick opportunity!"

"Mkhitaryan will take this corner kick!"

The corner kick was taken by Mkhitaryan.

The football flies towards the penalty area of ​​Hannover 96!
"The quality of Mkhitaryan's corner kick this time was very average!"

When the football fell into the penalty area of ​​​​Hannover 96, Zieler jumped high and directly took the mediocre corner kick.

The game was firmly in Dortmund's hands, but several threatening attacks failed to score.

Hannover 96 didn't even have a single shot chance in the entire first half.

Twenty-fifth minute of the game.

It's Mkhitaryan again. The Armenian is already getting hot in this game!
He drove straight into the right side and sent the ball to the middle with a powerful sweep. Xia Han attracted the attention of Hannover 96's defenders at the front point.

Castro rushed over from the back point!

Snap!
Castro shot the football straight into the sky!
"Mkhitaryan! He's in great form! Sweep straight to the middle!"

"Xia Han attracts the defense! Castro at the back post! Passes Hiroki Sakai and shoots!"

"Anti-aircraft guns! Castro's shot almost shot down a plane passing over the stadium!"

In the live broadcast room, barrages of comments were heard one after another.
-
[Castro's kick was a bit outrageous! It was almost an empty goal! I think it can be added to the electronics factory! ]
-
[Dortmund hasn't scored a goal yet! How rare! ]
-
【After watching Dortmund’s first few games, I thought three goals in the first half was standard! 】
-
[This is the King of Football you are talking about?! He was completely invisible in the first half! ]
-
[Two high-quality shots plus constantly attracting the attention of the defenders is called invisibility? Get lost if you are just blaming me! ]

Castro gave Mkhitaryan a thumbs up.

Tuchel touched the brim of his hat helplessly on the sidelines.

"The first half of the game is slowly slipping away!"

"After failing to break through for a long time, Dortmund's players became a little impatient in their attack!"

"Xia Han's luck is not very good today! Several of his shots in this game were just a hair's breadth away from scoring!"

"The opponent's goalkeeper's performance in the half hour was really dazzling!"

"It's Mkhitaryan again! He created many good attacking opportunities in this game!"

Thirty-seven minutes into the game.

After Mkhitaryan received a diagonal pass from Xia Han, he was knocked to the ground by Hoffman.

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle directly in his mouth!

"What a brutal foul!"

"The referee showed Hoffmann a yellow card! This is also the second yellow card for Hannover 96 in this game!"

"The first yellow card appeared at the beginning of the game. Prib fouled Castro. After Dortmund's attack ended, the referee gave another yellow card!"

The commentator recalled Xia Han's deadly curved free kick not long ago.

"Dortmund's free kick opportunity!"

"Who will take the penalty? Will it be Xia Han? Everyone knows about the away game against Hertha Berlin, when Xia Han took that extremely beautiful and murderous free kick in the penalty area!"

Xia Han and Mkhitaryan stood in front of the penalty spot, from which they could shoot directly. Hannover 96 had a lot of people defending the set-piece, and Zieler kept shouting and waving to direct the arrangement of the human wall.

After forming a human wall, Qi Le stared at Xia Han.

Before the penalty spot, Xia Han caught a glimpse of Zieler's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

After the two of them discussed in a low voice, they prepared for Mkhitaryan to take the free kick.

Xia Han feinted to attract Zieler's attention, and Mkhitaryan, who was in hot form, took the opportunity to directly shoot a free kick!
Mkhitaryan's free kick skills are quite good and he has practiced it for a period of time.

"Xia Han! He didn't shoot the free kick! Someone else took the free kick!"

When Xia Han drew the defense's attention a little, Mkhitaryan directly took a free kick!
Snap!
The football flew over the top of the wall!
After passing the human wall, the football fell rapidly!
"Leaf ball!"

"Xia Han attracts attention! Mkhitaryan seizes Hannover 96's weakness and shoots directly from the free kick!"

"Unfortunately, the angle of this shot is a bit too straight!"

Zieler was initially attracted by Xia Han's feint attack, then he quickly turned sideways to save the ball and barely reached the ball!

The football hit the goal post and bounced out towards the bottom line!

Mkhitaryan looked at the ball being hit out by Zieler and held his head unwillingly.

The corner kick taken with a good mood was of high quality.

Hummels pressed forward, firmly pinned down Gülsem and headed the ball into the goal!
Snap!
It's the sound of a football hitting the grass and bouncing out of the baseline!

"Dortmund have lots of chances!"

"But it just lacked a bit of luck! Several shots within the goal frame were blocked by Zieler, and several shots hit the crossbar and the post!"

"Today's Westfalenstadion is protecting Hannover 96. Hannover 96 had three goalkeepers who performed brilliantly today!"

"Hey hey! Beam, pillar and Zieler!"

There were sighs from some fans in the surrounding stands, but they were soon covered by louder cheers!

Dortmund fans always believe that the players can win this game!
On the sidelines of the court, Tuchel's face gradually began to look ugly. He was having a tactical discussion with Michels and the coaching staff. The movements of his hands were confusing and dazzling.

On the other side, Schaff looked at the players on the green field with great morale. It seemed that luck was on Hannover 96 today.

A draw is most likely to be achieved at the Westfalenstadion.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Schaff's face. He gestured to the players on the field to keep calm, trying to enter the second half with a score of 0-0.

In the following first half, Dortmund's attack seemed particularly impulsive, and Xia Han also felt rarely tired.

"My feet don't feel very good." Originally, after the first long shot, Xia Han felt that his feet would feel smooth today, but as the game progressed, he found that his feet were not smooth at all.

His breakthrough was still sharp and his dribbling ability was fully demonstrated, but he was unable to finish the goal with the final shot.

Zieler saved several shots on target, while a few hit the crossbar or bounced off the goal post and flew out.

This situation reminded Xia Han of a sentence: If the goal is one meter bigger, XX will have four goals in one go!
"Mkhitaryan is in very good shape today!" Xia Han was prepared to pass the ball to Mkhitaryan more often in the first half. Perhaps he needed to adjust himself during the halftime break.

After this free kick, Hannover 96 finally got the first counterattack and the first shot of the game just before the end of the first half!
Zieler made a long pass directly to Baker, and after Baker and Prib cooperated, he made a horizontal pass!
Sobiesh came on horseback!
An anti-aircraft gun!

Announced the end of the first half of the game!
