Champion’s Heart

When Dortmund's away game against Hoffenheim officially started, Zhou Yi sat on the bench, and the broadcast did not give the bench a shot.

Duan Xin reported the list of both parties enthusiastically, because Zhou Yi was included in the list.

But he's not done yet...

Dortmund scored!

Kuba shot --! The ball went in! Oops! The ball went in! Duan Xin shouted. That oops, I don't know if I was happy or regretful for Dortmund's goal...

But Zhou Jianliang, who was in front of the TV, slapped his thigh: Ah-ah!

He made no secret of his disappointment with the goal.

Dortmund scored so early, which means that they will definitely have the upper hand in this game, and it seems impossible for their son to play...

Seeing Zhou Jianliang's appearance, Li Cuiyun guessed it, and asked, Is it difficult for my son to appear again?

Zhou Jianliang gave a weak hmm.

Li Cuiyun didn't continue to ask why she couldn't play.

Zhou Yi, who was on the bench in front of him, didn't have the same thoughts as his parents. After Kuba scored, he rushed out of the bench with his teammates, raised his arms and shouted, celebrating the team's lead.

Marcel Leif said: Dortmund took the lead after just two minutes, what a fantastic start for them!

In the following first half, neither side was able to score again. Dortmund ended the first half with a one-goal lead, and the two sides entered the intermission.

During the intermission, the starting XI was in the locker room, while the players on the bench were warmed up on the court led by the assistant coach.

Zhou Yi is also among them.

There are fewer people in the stands than during the game, but there are still quite a lot.

Zhou Yi is hard to believe that a team from a small village like Hoffenheim can appear in the Bundesliga, and fans of a team from a village with a total of 3,000 people can sit in a stadium with 30,000 people. The seven seven eight eight...

This is the charm of football, the charm of football in Europe.

Football is a grassroots sport rooted in the lowest level of the people, and it is a sport that relies on the community where the team is located. To be honest, Zhou Yi stayed in Germany for a whole year, and what he saw and heard every day made him particularly envious of German fans. These everyday things are things that Zhou Yi dreamed of in China but couldn't get.

Football in China is far from being rooted in the grassroots and relying on the community. It's more like a game for big bosses. If you like it, you will vigorously develop it, and if you don't like it, you will be left in the cold palace. Dalian's football was so good back then. The city leaders also made football a city card, and cities all over the country followed suit.

But what about now?

Many cities have already thrown away their once-proud business cards. Even the current football team in Dalian, a football city, is in decline and is no longer the glory of the past.

Football in China still relies more on the rule of man, rather than relying on the football culture rooted in the grassroots to achieve its own development.

In this regard, China still has a long way to go...

While warming up on the Bundesliga pitch,

On the one hand, he thought of Chinese football. Zhou Yi's habit of distracting his mind is indeed quite speechless.

In the second half, the two sides changed places to fight again, and the backward side Hoffenheim took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Weiss replaced Eichner, and Warsa replaced Compel. They are all substitutions in the defensive position. Obviously, Hoffenheim's coach Rangnick hopes to improve the offense by improving the defense-if the defense has been unstable, the team's offense cannot improve.

At the beginning of the second half, two substitutions were used up in one go, and Lannick was desperate.

Dortmund's state in the new season has been unstable. If they lose to such an opponent at home, Rangnick will not be reconciled.

This series of substitutions had an immediate effect. The most important thing is that Lannick's imposing substitutions also gave a positive signal to the Hoffenheim players on the field. The head coach worked so hard and brought them Confidence, up and down together.

In the 49th minute, Hoffenheim received a pass from Carlos Eduardo by Demba Ba and scored!

1:1! Hoffenheim equalized the score!

There was a huge cheer in the Rhein-Neckar Arena, and the Hoffenheim fans cheered and cheered.

It was quite a spectacle.

Sure enough! There is one problem that Dortmund has not been able to solve since this season, and that is their defense! Even if they score first, they will still fall into the predicament of being equalized! Marcel Leif said.

Klopp also seemed very angry about this conceded goal. He rushed out of the coach's bench and roared towards the pitch.

After yelling, he returned to the coach's bench, and he still seemed angry. When drinking water, his hands clattered the water bottle.

Assistant coach Buvac sat next to him, also looking very depressed, frowning, not saying a word.

Leading in the opening two minutes, such a start can be said to be very good. However, such a good situation was not defended. Instead, the score was equalized by the opponent just four minutes into the second half.

It's nothing more than once or twice. This situation has always occurred repeatedly this season. For the Dortmund players, they have even formed a conditioned reflex-they will lose confidence when they lose the ball.

That's it for now.

After conceding the ball, the team's performance was obviously not as good as after scoring in the first half. On the contrary, Hoffenheim's morale was boosted, and Dortmund was suppressed from the scene.

It seems that Dortmund is very likely to concede another goal and eventually lose the game.

※※※

After Hoffenheim equalized the score, Dortmund's bench was devastated.

It's like this every time, and it really makes them think of a lot of not-so-good things.

They have already tied two games in a row, is it necessary to tie a third game in a row?

Among them, Zhou Yi also frowned.

In his virtual game, he played against Hoffenheim. It makes sense for this team to win the half-time league championship last season and fourth in the league this season.

The players are not weak, the head coach Rangnick has ideas, and Hoffenheim's play is a bit similar to siege and siege.

The players are running actively, fighting hard in the frontcourt, and everyone is running.

In fact, it is somewhat similar to Klopp's set. They all emphasize running ability, emphasizing the pressing in the midfield.

It's just that the morale of the Hoffenheim players is now higher than that of Dortmund, and the tactical execution is better.

But now, under the pressure of Hoffenheim, Dortmund's midfield is a bit out of control... It is difficult to support the overall situation with Shaheen alone.

※※※

In the game, Shaheen got the ball and was pressed by Hoffenheim midfielder Gustavo.

In fact, Shaheen's position on the court is the midfielder, and the opponent's midfielder can directly press Dortmund's midfielder, which shows how crazy Hoffenheim's press is. But it was the madness that allowed them to equalize just four minutes into the second half, and it's the same madness that now gives them the upper hand.

Under Gustavo's pressure, Shaheen lost the ball, and Hoffenheim took the opportunity to launch a counterattack in the frontcourt.

Almost scored the football goal, if Weidenfeller hadn't played well and dragged the football out of the bottom line...

It's dangerous! Weidenfeller made a wonderful save!

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands sighed loudly, regretting that the team did not expand the score.

At this time, Klopp also stood up from the coaching bench again, and he said to Buvac: Go and ask Zhou Yi to warm up!

Buvacs froze for a moment.

Go! Klopp urged.

Only then did Buvac get up to look for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi! Go warm up! He waved to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was also taken aback for a moment.

Go!! This time it was Bouac's turn to urge Zhouyi.

After realizing it, Zhou Yi quickly grabbed a training vest and went to warm up and run. He almost tripped over...

Bovac, who saw Zhou Yi's embarrassing scene behind him, shook his head, turned and went back to Klopp: Are you serious, Jurgen? Let him play at this time? The huge pressure will overwhelm him Don’t we still have Forner on the bench?”

As a professional player, sooner or later you have to be under pressure, and it is more pressure than now. If he is afraid of pressure and can't perform well, then he can't be a professional player. So this is not a reason not to let him play, Hotley Co. Klopp said seriously. From a tactical point of view, Forner is not the kind of midfielder who can control the rhythm, but Zhou Yi is. We are now falling into the rhythm of Hoffenheim, and we must readjust the rhythm and return to our own track Come up.

What Klopp said is well-founded, and Buvac has nothing to say.

In terms of the technical characteristics of the players, Forner is indeed not the person Klopp needs now.

Everyone has a first time, Gerico, you don't have to worry too much. Klopp comforted Bovac.

※※※

Zhou Yi, who was warming up, realized that he was likely to get the chance to play this time, and he was ecstatic inside, but he still did the warm-up very seriously, and didn't play it perfunctory just because he was happy.

His heart was ecstatic, but his mind was still clear.

Zhou Yi, who was warming up, didn't know that the TV broadcast also suddenly gave him a shot.

The level of broadcasting of Bundesliga games may be the first among the five major European leagues. The on-site director is good at capturing any interesting details and is a person who understands the ball, so he will use the language of the camera to tell the audience and commentators some information.

In fact, Zhou Yi was not caught by the camera after warming up, but when the assistant coach Buvac went to ask him to warm up, he entered the broadcast camera.

Zhou Yi is going to warm up! Duan Xin shouted excitedly.

In fact, when Hoffenheim equalized the score and Dortmund was in a hurry, Duan Xin and Tao Wei had been discussing the possibility of Zhou Yi playing.

Now seeing that Zhou Yi really got up to warm up, they were very excited. After waiting for almost half a season, is it finally time for Zhou Yi to make his debut in the Bundesliga?

Son! It's our son!! Zhou Jianliang said excitedly.

Li Cuiyun, who was a little drowsy, was shocked and looked at the TV screen again. Sure enough, she also saw Zhou Yi putting on his vest and running to warm up.

Great! I have a chance to play! Zhou Jianliang said excitedly beside him.

But he also warmed up for that game... Li Cuiyun, who doesn't know football, wondered why her husband was so agitated.

That's different! It was warming up with a lot of people, just to avoid players walking on the bench for too long, in order to keep the body temperature. That kind of warm up is usually a lot of people going together. But this time not Same, this time the coach called our son out to warm up alone, which means that he may be replaced! He is preparing for the game!

Zhou Jianliang, who was in a good mood, also began to take the trouble to popularize football knowledge for his wife.
