Chapter 114: A miracle, eliminating Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena!

When the fans of Werder Bremen saw Lin Quan blocking the ball, they all gasped for breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Quan himself was also quite scared. He was short and couldn't compete for the ball in the penalty area, so he simply ran to the goal line to help the goalkeeper defend.

Unexpectedly, the goal came at the right time and Mandzukic's header was aimed at the goal.

If the opponent had headed the ball into the upper left corner, he would have been powerless given his height.

But the opponent happened to hit the lower left corner, and Lin Quan happened to hit it.

After blocking the opponent's shot, Lin Quan himself broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had been half a second slower, he might have been too late.

Mandzukic deserves to be called an air overlord. His headers are not only powerful but also have tricky angles.

If it weren’t for Lin Quan’s timely rescue, the ball would have definitely gone in.

“Lin, how did you do it? You’re amazing!”

After goalkeeper Milic got up from the ground, he hugged Lin Quan in a bear hug and spoke incoherently with excitement.

The other teammates also rushed over, patting Lin Quan's head and praising him for his cleverness.

Everyone had an expression of having survived a disaster on their faces. It was too thrilling, too thrilling! His interception just now really saved the whole team, otherwise they would have seen Bayern's people celebrating wildly on the court! "Don't be too excited, go back and rest first, overtime is about to start!"

Captain Fritz reminded.

On the sidelines, Schaaf and the coaching staff also seemed excited.

However, he did not forget his responsibilities. He asked the players to sit on the ground to save energy, and at the same time took the time to explain to them how to play in overtime.

Because there is no rest time in overtime.

This extra time will be very difficult for the players of Werder Bremen.

After a whole intense game, all the players on the field have consumed a lot of physical energy.

Their physical strength may not be able to support them to play the entire overtime, so the players must grit their teeth and persevere.

If Bayern scores just one goal, it will be almost impossible for them to equalize given their current form, which means they will be eliminated.

Therefore, Bayern must not be allowed to score at any cost.

The five-minute break ended quickly and players from both sides returned to the field to continue the game.

As Schaff had guessed, Bayern players launched a fierce attack right from the start.

They were obviously well aware that the physical strength of Werder Bremen's players had reached its limit, so they wanted to defeat the opponent completely in one go.

Just one goal would be enough to break the will of Werder Bremen players.

When the opponent has lost their physical strength and their will is broken, they will be sure to win and may even be able to expand the score.

After encountering Werder Bremen's stubborn resistance, Bayern's players obviously hate Werder Bremen very much! If there is a chance to give the opponent a miserable defeat at home, they will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

Because Bayern had always held the initiative in the game, their players consumed less physical energy than their opponents.

Otherwise, they might not have the strength to continue besieging Werder Bremen at this time.

Bayern's attack was very fierce, with each wave higher than the last.

In the 7th minute of extra time, Ribery cut inside again, dribbled past the Bremen full-back and forced a shot.

The kick was not very threatening, but the ball hit the defender's leg while flying and was refracted in the air.

Milic was shaken and although he made adjustments immediately, he still failed to catch the ball.

This time, Lin Quan was not at the door and could no longer help him resolve the crisis.

Just when everyone thought that the ball was bound to go in, the Bayern players were ready to celebrate.

The ball hit the goal post.

With a clang, the ball was blocked by the goal post.

There was a sigh at the Allianz Arena. Countless Bayern fans held their heads in frustration and looked at the football flying out of the baseline in disbelief.

Such a good opportunity, but the goalpost interfered!

This damn goalpost, how could you betray your team! The players of Werder Bremen were shocked, especially Lukimya who almost caused an own goal. He apologized to his teammates again and again, saying that he did not mean it.

He was a little too nervous. When he saw the ball coming, he kicked it subconsciously without thinking about the consequences of his actions.

If it wasn't for his good luck, the ball would have bounced out and he would have become the sinner of the team for scoring this own goal.

Fortunately, his teammates did not blame him. Not only was he nervous, but who in the team was not nervous? Werder Bremen realized the gap in the right side of the defense and further shrank their formation, protecting their own penalty area more closely, not giving the opponent a chance to break into the penalty area and shoot.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking into the penalty area, Robben, Schweinsteiger, Kroos and others could only take turns to launch long shots outside the penalty area.

Milic, who was in a state of being beaten, seemed to be assisted by God. He blocked the opponent's long-range shots with high catches and managed to resolve them all.

Seeing that all offensive means had failed, Bayern players began to get anxious.

The game time passed by minute by minute, but they were unable to break through the opponent's goal.

The tactics designed by the coach before didn't seem to be working, which made them very anxious.

The fifteen minutes of the first half passed quickly and the second half of overtime began.

On the sidelines, Heynckes saw that his players, especially those in the frontcourt who had been involved in the attack, were running out of energy.

He made decisive personnel adjustments: Shaqiri came on to replace Robben.

Gomez comes on to replace Mandzukic.

Mandzukic tried his best in this game. After seeing the substitution card raised on the sidelines, he didn't even have the strength to walk off the field. He left the field directly from behind Werder Bremen's goal and collapsed to the ground.

He wants to see his teammates kill the game and win at the closest distance!

Bayern's siege continued. Shaqiri, who was full of energy, was like a loach, cunningly moving around in Werder Bremen's penalty area.

Gomez also gained an advantage in the confrontation with defenders in the penalty area with his abundant physical strength.

For a moment, Werder Bremen's goal became precarious again.

In the 23rd minute of extra time, Kroos saw Shaqiri's smart movement and cleverly made an overhead pass.

The ball was not sent in the direction of Shaqiri's running position, but in the opposite direction.

This resulted in the players defending Shaqiri not realizing the danger at the first time. It was not until Shaqiri quickly turned around and prepared to receive the ball that they realized that the ball was actually passed to Shaqiri.

Shaqiri is only 169cm tall, very short and light.

It is very difficult for him to hold the ball in front of tall defenders.

But Kroos took advantage of his teammate's counter-run and created an opportunity for him to get rid of the defender and get the ball comfortably.

Good pass! Shaqiri praised in his heart, took the ball, half turned around and looked at the goal, and chose to shoot without hesitation.

When Milic saw Kroos passing the ball, he realized the danger, quickly moved to the near corner, jumped high, and blocked the opponent's shot.

Seeing his teammates missed this opportunity, Kroos sighed helplessly.

This shot was a bit of a waste of his wonderful pass. If it was Robben instead of Shaqiri who assisted him, maybe this goal would have been scored.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Quan who was not far from him.

I heard that this guy is also very good at shooting. If he were my teammate, I would probably be able to get a few more assists every season.

Bayern missed opportunities continuously, which made Heynckes on the sidelines a little nervous.

The tactical design worked, but the players couldn't score any goals and there was nothing he could do.

He recalled the game against Chelsea in the Champions League final seven months ago. In that game, Bayern players missed consecutive scoring opportunities and were finally dragged into a penalty shootout by Chelsea, and then eliminated by Chelsea in the penalty shootout.

Could it be that the scene in the Champions League final will be repeated in the German Cup?

But just as he was thinking this, a huge cheer broke out at the Allianz Arena.

"What's going on?"

Heynckes asked the people around him while looking at the field.

Just when he was stunned, the Bayern players seemed to have scored a goal.

Heynckes didn't see who scored the goal, he only saw Bayern players celebrating wildly on the field.

"It's Gomez. Ribery's long shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and he made a follow-up shot in the penalty area!"

Assistant coach Hillman's face turned red with excitement. After saying this, he couldn't help but rush onto the court to celebrate with the players.

There were only 7 minutes left in overtime, and scoring a goal at this time would almost mean the end of the game.

Without physical strength, how can Werder Bremen, who can no longer run, turn the tables? Heynckes also understood this truth, so he couldn't help but get excited.

It was an ordinary match in the third round of the German Cup, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.

It felt like playing in the German Cup final! This victory was not easy to come by! He glanced at assistant coach Grande, who was old and not as passionate as the youngsters, so he just stood on the sidelines and applauded the players instead of rushing onto the field to celebrate.

The two smiled at each other, hugged each other and patted each other on the back.

“It’s not easy!”

“Well, it’s not easy!”

"Our opponents played too tenaciously in this game!"

"Yes, with their lineup, it is indeed not easy to force us to this point!"

On the field, Lin Quan returned to his own goal, scooped up the ball and put it back into the center circle.

He did not urge his opponent, but just waited quietly for his opponent to finish celebrating.

Before visiting the Allianz Arena, the team was mentally prepared to lose.

Facing such a strong team like Bayern, no team in the whole of Europe dares to say that they have the confidence to defeat them.

Even those football giants whose players are worth hundreds of millions of euros can't do it, so how can Werder Bremen be confident that they can win? To be able to play like this is already an extraordinary performance for them.

Given the gap in hard power between the two teams, it is normal for Werder Bremen to lose two or even three goals in this game.

But are you really willing?

The team has fought to this point and to this extent.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Are you really willing to accept a defeat on the road?

No, I won't give in!

He decisively opened the system store and looked at his points.

After the match against Nuremberg, his points returned to 18. If he won one more game, he would have 20 points to upgrade his injury talent to the next level.

But he couldn't wait any longer, so he spent 10 points to upgrade his physical talent to the next level! When the overtime started, he already had no physical strength left.

If he hadn't relied on the physical talent he had exchanged before to hold on, he would have collapsed long ago.

However, the low-level talent worth 10 points had limited effect. He tried to dribble past others several times but failed due to lack of physical strength.

Without his counterattack threat, Bayern can press across the half court without restraint and bombard their goal! Lin Quan knew that he would leave Werder Bremen next year, so he always wanted to leave something for the fans of Werder Bremen.

The league champions don't have enough bench depth to compete with Bayern.

But they can still fight in the cup competition.

As long as Bayern Munich is eliminated in this game, then among the remaining opponents, the only one that can pose a threat to them is Dortmund! If Dortmund is eliminated by other opponents in advance because of the distraction of the league and the Champions League.

They have a greater chance of winning!

So, as long as they eliminate Bayern, they have a high chance of winning the cup!

After the physical talent was upgraded, it was used directly with the help of the system.

Suddenly, Lin Quan felt endless power returning to his body!

He looked up at the time on the scoreboard. There were still 6 minutes left in the game, enough!

Under the urging of the referee, Bayern players finally ended their celebration and returned to the field.

The game restarted, De Bruyne kicked the ball to Lin Quan. After receiving the ball, Lin Quan did not pass it back, but immediately dribbled towards the opponent's half.

"Is he crazy?"

When the audience saw that Lin Quan was going to challenge the entire Bayern Munich alone, they all showed surprise on their faces.

Was this kid hit by the lost ball and became unconscious?

Cross was right in front of Lin Quan, so he was the first to rush up.

After a spike, a change of direction and three touches of the ball, Kroos, who had weak defensive abilities, was easily dribbled past.

Martinez and Schweinsteiger also rushed up, but Lin Quan still did not pass the ball. He kicked the ball and accelerated, rushing past the two of them and receiving his pass at high speed.

How come this kid still has such strong explosive power at this time? Didn’t he run out of energy before?

After being passed, a thousand question marks flashed through Martinez's mind and he was puzzled.

Bayern's defenders are going to curse!

Less than five seconds after the kick-off, the opponent's forward rushed in front of them. The development of the plot was completely beyond their expectations.

“Stop him!”

On the sidelines, Heynckes, who had been calm throughout the entire game, finally lost his composure at this moment.

The indomitable momentum of his opponent shocked him greatly and made him feel the great danger.

If we can't stop him early, this ball will be unstoppable!

There was no need for Heynckes to remind him. When Lin Quan reached the penalty area, almost all four of Bayern's defenders rushed over.

They were well aware of the threat this guy posed in the penalty area and must not let him break into the penalty area easily.

Faced with the pressure from four people rushing up at the same time, even someone as strong as Lin Quan couldn't withstand it.

He passed Dante, but before he could pass the second person, he was tackled by Alaba.

The referee blew the whistle in time, showed Alaba a yellow card, and gave Werder Bremen a free kick.

When he took out the cards, he looked at Lin Quan with some surprise.

This kid is really fierce. He is challenging the entire opposing team alone, and he almost succeeded! On the sidelines, Schaff, who was ready to surrender, lost his composure when he saw Lin Quan's crazy attack.

"Peterson, hurry up, come on and replace Yunuzovic!"

He turned around and locked onto Nils Petersen, the striker on loan from Bayern, and sent him straight into the pitch without even giving him time to warm up.

Peterson was confused. He thought he would not have a chance to play in this game.

Unexpectedly, just before the end of the game, the head coach called his name.

After quickly taking off his clothes and running into the court, Peterson ran to De Bruyne and Lin Quan who were preparing to take free throws and whispered to them for a while.

Lin Quan glanced in the direction of the coaching seats and saw Shaf nodded at him.

De Bruyne took the free kick, he retreated a long distance, and Neuer judged that he might take a lift ball.

So he moved quickly and prepared to save the situation.

The free kick was taken, and surprisingly, it was not a direct shot into the goal.

The ball flew into the penalty area and landed on the left side of the penalty area near the baseline.

This was actually a pass! And Lin Quan appeared here, received the ball, and was not offside!

Bayern's players were so afraid of Lin Quan that they rushed towards him without thinking, trying to stop him from shooting.

However, Lin Quan did not shoot himself, but passed the ball back to his teammate who was in an open position because the Bayern players left.

Nils Peterson caught his pass.

He recalled the question he asked Lin Quan in the previous game after he missed Lin Quan's wonderful pass.

And Lin Quan gave his answer with a pass!

The boss actually passed the ball to me!

Peterson tried hard to suppress his excitement, took a look at Neuer's position, and then shot the ball out.

Under the gaze of 65,000 fans in the stadium, the ball stuck to the ground, brushed against Neuer's fingertips, and rolled into the net!

The score became 2:2, and Werder Bremen tenaciously equalized the score in the 26th minute of extra time.

After scoring the goal, Peterson excitedly rushed towards Lin Quan and gave him a warm hug.

"Boss, I scored a goal. I scored a goal. I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Lin Quan smiled and patted his head: "Well done, Peterson, you are the hero of Werder Bremen!"

Peterson burst into laughter after being praised by Lin Quan.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

Oops, I seem to be a Bayern player. I just scored against Bayern and celebrated so excitedly...

Hiss, it feels like the door of Bayern is closed to me forever...

Peterson's goal dealt a heavy blow to Bayern's morale. The victory was gone! How could they not be angry? What was even more infuriating was that the Werder Bremen players had no self-awareness at all. They celebrated for a full two minutes in the away stadium amid the boos of more than 60,000 fans. This time, Bayern had even less time to attack.

After the kick-off, Bayern wanted to launch a quick attack in an attempt to kill Werder Bremen.

But Werder Bremen's morale has been fully restored. The players seem to have forgotten their physical fatigue and are trying their best to defend against the opponent's offensive.

Five minutes later, after three minutes of injury time, the referee finally blew the whistle to end overtime.

Both sides entered into a brutal penalty shootout!

In the penalty shootout, although Neuer performed bravely and saved a penalty from Werder Bremen.

However, the morale of the Bayern players was greatly affected and they missed two free throws.

In the end, Werder Bremen miraculously defeated Bayern Munich away from home with a penalty shootout victory and advanced to the next round of the German Cup.
