Champion’s Heart

Chapter 47 The Ferryman

Football will still be passed to Shaheen first. After all, Shaheen is the core of this team. In the past season, he has always played this role and has done a good job. Please read the most complete!

That's why Hoffenheim will play a targeted defense against Shaheen in this game.

As soon as Shaheen got the ball, two opposing players rushed up.

At this time, the Turk caught Zhou Yi from the corner of his eye! Zhou Yi is indeed where he can pass the ball at any time!

So Shaheen didn't hesitate, and directly passed the football to Zhou Yi.

Zhouyi! He caught the ball! This is his first touch in the Bundesliga! Duan Xin seemed to have changed from a commentator to Zhouyi's exclusive statistician, connecting every ball can find extraordinary meaning.

Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV did not cheer, but stared at the TV screen nervously. As a fan, he knew very well that everything after the ball was the biggest test for his son.

On the other hand, Li Cuiyun, who didn't understand anything, followed the commentator and called out hello.

That kid just came on the field, force him! Just as Shaheen passed the football to Zhou Yi, Salihovic, who was originally pounced on Shaheen, shouted.

Before he finished speaking, Gustavo, who was with him to force Shaheen, turned around and rushed towards Zhou Yi.

Generally speaking, players who have just entered the field have not yet had time to enter the rhythm of the game. Their reactions will be half a beat slower than the players on the field. heп g e.

As long as you put pressure on them at this time, they may make mistakes.

However, Zhou Yi seems to be a strange man who cannot be described as average...

Facing the ball from Shaheen, Zhou Yi didn't even stop, and knocked the football back!

The football flew past Gustavo's feet, but Gustavo, who was pounced on him, was powerless and unable to make any movements. He could only watch the football roll to Shaheen again.

But at this time, Shaheen had only Salihovic by his side, and Salihovich wasn't too tight.

After Shaheen received the ball, he swiped horizontally and pulled it further away from Salihovic.

So he was in a relatively safe position.

Not bad! Klopp's eyes lit up off the court,

laughed.

Hmm... Buvacs had nothing to say.

Zhou Yi's kick may not be unusual in the eyes of many ordinary fans, and it will not even attract attention at all. He played such a simple kick back on the field, and it was not difficult at all.

But in the eyes of truly professional people, they see something different.

The technique of passing back is easily regarded as irresponsible and irresponsible. The goalkeeper who returns the pass from the midfielder is often booed by the fans.

But passing back is actually a choice with both tactical and strategic significance.

Zhou Yi made both Klopp and Bovac feel good. It is precisely that he chose to pass back at this time, which surprised the Hoffenheim players on the field and created a chance for Shaheen to get out of trouble.

Under the circumstances at that time, most people would definitely pass the football to other people, and would not immediately pass it to Shaheen who was heavily guarded by the opponent. Or he will take the ball and turn around and go forward.

But Zhou Yi was not greedy for the ball, and he didn't take his first touch of the ball too seriously. Instead, he passed back to Shaheen very quickly and decisively, which disrupted Hoffenheim's pressing rhythm.

In fact, there are many of these seemingly ordinary actions in the game, which in the eyes of most fans will feel meaningless or unremarkable, but in fact they are shining with wisdom.

For example, Carrick, Manchester United's midfielder, was once ridiculed as the invisible king and cross pass king. The game may not even have a close-up shot, only some simple passes such as crosses and back passes.

But the rhythm of the game is controlled through these seemingly simple passes.

When Carrick plays well, Manchester United's performance is different.

Not all players are the ones who steal the limelight on the football field, but they are also indispensable to the team.

Just like in Barcelona, ​​everyone applauds Messi's outstanding performance. It seems that Barcelona cannot do without Messi. But professionals will know that the first thing Barcelona can't do without is the small and unattractive Xavi, and Iniesta. Even Butzkes matters a lot more than fans think.

Return... Duan Xin felt a little regretful. He hoped that Zhou Yi could control the ball more and send the football forward, but he didn't even stop the ball, and just passed it back, and the football was far away from him.

But Tao Wei, a professional next to him, can understand: It's actually a very smart approach. In Zhou Yi's position, handling the ball cleanly is the most important thing. If there is too much sticking to the ball and the ball is lost, it will be troublesome. And in the face of the opponent's pressing, he also showed a calm psychological quality. I think Zhou Yi's kick can score 90 points.

A return can decipher so many things. In some people's eyes, it must be another forced bragging for Zhouyi.

But in fact, Zhou Yi's kick was really that powerful.

※ ※ ※

The game continued. Although the football was temporarily far away from his own area, Zhou Yi did not stop moving, but he didn't run fast. He constantly adjusted his speed according to the situation. When necessary, he accelerated and ran a step or two. Most of the time he was jogging, not very noticeable.

Speaking of it, it's like being invisible...

Dortmund struggled with their attacking development down the flanks and the football was passed back to Shaheen.

As long as the football is running towards Shaheen, there will be at least one Hoffenheim player who will also rush towards Shaheen, and as long as Shaheen stops the ball, another Hoffenheim player will immediately go up to Shaheen. Form a siege.

Dortmund's offense was mired in this way before, unable to move an inch. Because Shaheen was completely isolated by Hoffenheim.

But now, it's different.

The opponent's second player was just on the way, and Shaheen had already passed the football to Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he didn't pass it back to Shaheen immediately this time. Instead, he turned around while catching the ball, and then passed the football forward to Gross Kreutz, who leaned forward obliquely to meet him.

Dortmund's offense shifted from one wing to the other.

The game continued, and Zhou Yi could always receive Shaheen's pass. Of course, he would pass the football out very quickly, either a back pass, a cross pass, or a short forward pass, but there was no kick It's a threat pass, a seemingly simple transition pass. Like a ferryman on a river, driving a boat to ferry travelers from one side to the other. Only now the traveler has become a football.

Tao Wei also stopped explaining each of Zhou Yi's balls for a long time to tell the audience how powerful Zhou Yi's kick was.

It seems that Zhou Yi is just an ordinary cog in the Dortmund machine. The work of him and others has ensured that Dortmund can run normally, but nothing more.

Most of the time, it was Shaheen who organized the offense, and Zhou Yi was just Shaheen's support. To help Shaheen get out of trouble, let Shaheen pass the threatening pass.

However, although Zhou Yi was not in the limelight, the changes in Dortmund were quickly reflected after he played.

When it was difficult for Hoffenheim to trap Shaheen, Shaheen became active, and when Shaheen became active, Dortmund's offense naturally revived, and Dortmund began to counterattack Hoffenheim.

Dortmund's offense has improved during this time! Duan Xin said.

Well, Klopp's substitution adjustment is still very targeted. Zhou Yi liberated Shaheen. Tao Wei commented.

However, Director Tao... surely we all want to see Zhou Yi perform better?

Of course, but football is a team sport. There must always be someone who sacrifices his personal interests for the sake of the collective interests. He must have a spirit of dedication. I think when Zhou Yi played, Klopp must have some requirements for him. He thinks Playing like this now should be in accordance with the coach's arrangement...

Zhou Jianliang listened to the conversation between the commentator and the guest commentator in front of the TV, and felt that as long as Zhou Yi could successfully complete the instructions given to him by the coach and finish the game, he would be considered a success. After all, it was his first appearance, and if he could help the team get out of trouble, Zhou Yi's performance was not bad. In this way, he has the opportunity to get another chance to play.

After Dortmund's offensive started, Hoffenheim also made adjustments. However, Lannick's adjustment was not to further strengthen the press in the midfield. He could see it. After the 23rd played, relying on a solid and decisive pass, Shaheen was released.

And it is impossible for him to arrange more people to contain Shaheen or Zhou Yi, because there are only so many players on the court, each team has eleven players, if he spends too much on Shaheen, then the players in other places Defensive strength will appear insufficient.

Dortmund does not have only one Shaheen, and the others should not be underestimated. If you give them enough space, they can also threaten the goal.

So Lannick's adjustment is to choose to retreat and shrink the defense, and build a wall in front of his penalty area.

This approach is the most cost-effective. Withstood Dortmund's offensive during this period first, waited until their offensive went down, and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

After Rangnick made adjustments, Hoffenheim really gave up their tactics of pressing in the midfield and changed to a defensive.

But Shaheen suddenly felt lighter—he no longer had to face the siege of two or three people!

But in this way, Zhouyi seems not to be as important as before...

Another purpose of Rangnick's move is to make the adjustments made by Klopp not long ago useless.

He didn't know Zhou Yi, or he didn't know it at all. But he could see that after Zhou Yi came on the field, the practice with Shaheen was the main reason why Shaheen broke his frontcourt press.

Judging from the game during this period, Zhou Yi seems to be an ordinary role of passing the ball. He is responsible for passing the football to the teammate closest to him. There is nothing creative and not critical. Part of the pass.

Now that Hoffenheim has shrunk its defense, Shaheen can do without Zhou Yi, so what is the use of Zhou Yi staying on the court? Is it just a normal kick? It can be replaced by anyone, there is no need to use him.

So Rangnick's adjustment is tantamount to letting Klopp waste a substitution. To be continued.
