Champion’s Heart

Although only one goal was scored in the first half, Dortmund's team performance improved significantly after the goal, and the scene looked much better. Even if they only scored one goal, no one complained.

The atmosphere in the stands was much more relaxed.

The commentator Marcel Leif also said that this is the performance that Dortmund should have when facing a team like Hannover 96.

But what caused this change?

Everyone is not very clear.

During the intermission, commentators and narrators from various TV stations were analyzing the reasons for this change.

What they could see was that Shaheen suddenly became confident after launching the attack with that long pass, knowing how to control the team. Instead of hesitating like before.

Why did Shaheen have such a change?

Before that, he had an exchange with Zhou Yi. Could it be that Zhou Yi said something to him?

It's a pity that the players didn't wear microphones and couldn't hear what they were saying.

But it doesn't matter, we have lip language experts. After the competition is over, let the lip language experts interpret what they said, and naturally they will know almost everything.

The most important thing now is what it means for Dortmund after Shaheen's normal performance.

In terms of the difference in strength between the two teams, as long as Shaheen and Zhou Yi can perform normally, I don't think it is a problem for Dortmund to win at home.

Everyone has this view.

After the start of the second half, the progress of the game also confirmed everyone's analysis during the intermission.

Dortmund, who suddenly knew how to play, played against Hannover 96. Hannover 96's defensive strategy against Dortmund's poorly functioning dual-core tactics before the game has all failed.

Dortmund's goals came one after another.

In the 60th minute, Barrios put pressure in front of the goal, causing Hannover 96's central defender Ejman to make a mistake in his busy schedule, and scored the football into his own goal, an own goal!

Dortmund leads the opponent 2:0.

In the 77th minute, Goklos Kreutz scored a goal,

And the person who assisted him was Zhou Yi.

After Shaheen behaved normally. Zhou Yi's performance is also much better. Because he will no longer receive the ball from Shaheen indiscriminately. He can choose the position to catch the ball more calmly, and the timing to ask for the ball. Before, Shaheen would immediately pass the football to himself whenever he was under pressure, because he needed dual cores.

As a result, Zhou Yi was also very passive. The rhythm is completely out of order.

Neither of the two cores played at a normal level. Naturally, it is also difficult for the team to win the game.

Now that Shaheen's situation is resolved, Zhou Yi will naturally be fine.

Zhou Yi, who completed the assist, was replaced. Gotze replaced him.

As Shaheen returned from injury, Gotze's position became awkward.

He can stay in the first team. But the playing time was longer than the time when Shaheen was injured.

Moreover, he and Zhou Yi are different types of players. Although he came on as a substitute for Zhou Yi, the role he can play is different from Zhou Yi. The team's tactics must also be adjusted accordingly.

From dual core to single core - Shaheen is that only core.

In fact, Gotze is most suitable for activities on the wing, but Kuba and Gross Kreutz are both in good condition. It's also difficult for him to replace any of them.

So now he can only get some opportunities to play because Zhou Yi is physically unable to play the whole game.

In the comparison between him and Zhou Yi, he was getting further and further away from Zhou Yi...

But Goetze was not discouraged. Every appearance is full of motivation, and he is quite active in the game.

For him, perhaps only in this way can he win more playing opportunities for himself.

Gotze, who did not give up, finally scored his first goal of the season in this game.

In the 88th minute, after receiving a long pass from Hummels, he broke through the defense of Hannover 96 with the ball, and finally sent the football into the goal of Hannover 96.

The score was fixed at 4:0.

In this way, Borussia Dortmund beat Hannover 96 by four goals after a poor opening performance at home.

After losing to Bayern Munich, they seem to have found the right path again.

After the game, the communication between Zhou Yi and Shaheen became the most concerned issue of the reporters.

Zhou Yi came first and was stopped by reporters in the mixed zone.

Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, what did you say to Shaheen during the match?

Yes, what did you say? Why did his performance improve after you talked to him once?

Relying on their linguistic advantages, Chinese journalists took the lead in asking questions.

I didn't say anything. Zhou Yi spread his hands, It's just an ordinary communication between teammates.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands and walked to the locker room, obviously not willing to be interviewed to talk about this issue.

The reporters were not willing to give up, and when they were about to question Zhou Yi, they found Shaxin coming from behind!

Zhou Yi also saw Shaheen sharp-eyed, so he quickly kicked the ball to his teammates: Go and ask Nuri!

After speaking, he took advantage of the time when everyone turned their attention to Shaheen, and ran away, escaping from the siege of the reporters.

He really didn't know how to explain that to the reporter, so he simply avoided it.

Let's leave all the problems to Shaheen!

Seeing Zhou Yi running away nimbly like a rabbit, it was impossible for the reporters to chase after him. After all, in the mixed zone, there was a railing between the reporters and the players. If the players really don't accept interviews, the reporters can't climb over the railing to pull them.

Fortunately, Shaheen was quite cooperative when facing the reporters. He stood in front of the reporters and answered their questions.

What did Zhou Yi say to me? In fact, he didn't say anything. He told me to be myself and kick like I'm used to. Shaheen said.

That's it? The reporters were surprised. Isn't this answer too simple?

Of course. Otherwise, what else do you expect? Shaheen asked back, and then he laughed meaningfully, Oh——, you guys quarreled with Zhou Yi because of me? Nothing. We have a good relationship, this time It is also thanks to his help that I can play well. So if you are going to guess wildly, stop early.

The Chinese reporters keenly captured the information they needed, so they asked Shaheen: So your inconsistent performance in this game is due to Zhou Yi's help? Then what kind of help did he provide?

Regarding this, Shaheen replied generously: He suggested that I play football as usual. This suggestion made me regain the feeling of the game. Are you all Chinese reporters?

Chinese journalists have admitted.

So Shaheen gave them a thumbs up.

Then he bid farewell to these reporters and returned to the locker room.

The Chinese reporters didn't expect Shaheen to make such a move in the end, which surprised them. They couldn't look at Shaheen's back, but these Chinese reporters were a little proud.

As a Chinese, I feel Bel has face.

Apparently, this was Shaheen's favor towards these Chinese journalists because of Zhouyi.

This is the point that Chinese journalists have experienced the most and deeply in the process of following and reporting on Zhouyi.

That is because of Zhouyi, these German players, reporters, commentators, and coaches seem to have become a lot more friendly to Chinese reporters like them.

Everyone was concerned about what Zhou Yi said to Shaheen. Zhouyi avoided this question, but Shaheen's answer was very simple, which could not satisfy people's curiosity.

However, this question has not been able to blame the media.

On the TV show that night, someone invited a lip-language expert to interpret the conversation between Zhou Yi and Shaxin.

Thus, the dialogue between Zhou Yi and Shaheen was restored to the same degree.

What's the matter, Nuri? Didn't I say that as long as you play as usual, it's fine?

But Zhou Yi, we are using dual-core tactics now...

If you can perform normally, we are dual-core, because you at least behave like a core, not like you are now!

but you……

Don't think too much, be yourself first, Nuri. You are the core, if you don't play well, our whole team will be affected, including me.

Zhou Yi, who was communicating with Shaheen in the screen, had a very serious expression, and what he said was even more surprising.

Is this something a newcomer should be able to say?

This expression, this tone, and these words all sound like what the captain of the team said.

Moreover, Shaheen, as the core of the team, actually followed Zhou Yi just like that, without even a single refutation.

Of course, Zhou Yi's words were proved to be correct afterwards.

After this exchange, Shaheen's performance went up in a straight line, getting better and better.

So this is why Shaheen's performance suddenly improved, and then the whole Dortmund team also upgraded their performance.

A rookie who has just joined the team and played less than ten games, can already directly point out the deficiencies of the core of the original team during the game, reminding him to correct it...

This scene is indeed incredible.

But I have to admit that Zhouyi is not aimless, and what they say is right.

In fact, the problem that troubled many people was solved simply in this way.

Shaheen can be himself, so the whole team can run smoothly, but what about Zhouyi?

Zhou Yi didn't feel any threat to his core position just because Shaheen was the core.

On the contrary, he performed like a duck to water, and he was also very good.

In this game, he personally attacked Gross Kreuz with a goal, which is very telling. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
