Champion’s Heart

When the fourth goal appeared, four ... appeared in the group almost at the same time.

The people watching the game were speechless.

They don't know what to say after a game like this.

This is a bit beyond what they can accept.

This is true for those who watch the game, let alone those who personally participate in it.

That's why Klopp was so angry. He put in so much effort before the game, made such detailed arrangements, and finally got such an ending?

He doesn't accept it!

※※※

But in the end, whether Klopp is willing to accept it or not, when the first half ended, the score was 4:0, and the home team Inter Milan led Dortmund by four goals.

This score is enough to kill the game. The next forty-five minutes are just a procedure that must be fulfilled for Inter Milan, but it is a painful torment for Dortmund! The Italian commentator was a little proud talking.

Marcel Leff calmly analyzed: Even if this game is doomed to lose, I hope that the boys in Dortmund will not give up the game in the second half. Even if they can score one or two goals, it is very good, so that when it is necessary to draw When Inter Milan compares the goal difference, it may be able to play a role... and the feeling of losing 0:4 and 1:4 will be different for the players.

When the players left the field, the TV broadcast showed several close-ups of the players.

In the close-up shots, the Inter Milan players all had relaxed smiles on their faces, walking off the field talking and laughing.

The Dortmund player, on the other hand, had a sad expression and hurried off the field with his head down.

During the intermission, all the TV stations broadcasting the broadcast were analyzing the first half, and almost everyone's reaction was unbelievable.

Because judging from the strength of Dortmund's performance in the first two Champions League group matches, Dortmund's performance is not at all like a rookie in the Champions League.

Judging from their recent league games, their state is also very good.

Before the game, everyone thought it was evenly matched, and Benitez's team might be able to win at home,

But definitely not easy to win. Because Klopp's team is very aggressive and tenacious.

But who would have thought that the match started only fifteen minutes ago. Dortmund has been completely defeated.

In the end, everyone can only think that this may still be due to Dortmund's lack of experience in the Champions League. After they won two consecutive group stage victories. Some were too optimistic, causing the players to relax from their hearts.

...The victories in the first two group matches made everyone ignore that they are actually a genuine rookie team in the Champions League. In fact, they still have a lot of work to do if they want to go further in the Champions League. There is still a lot of work to do. Long way to go.

At the same time, in the squeeze Lao Guo group. The four partners are also discussing the first half.

Dortmund's overall strength is still too poor. To be honest, they don't even have a superstar in the team now... He Ying insisted that Dortmund's weak overall strength dragged Zhou Yi down. Although a superstar can't decide everything, in this kind of occasion, a superstar who can stand up is still very necessary...

Sun Pan often contradicts He Ying. If He Ying agrees, he will oppose it, and if He Ying opposes it, he will support it. but now. He couldn't sing the opposite of He Ying even if he wanted to. The score is here, and the scene has also been seen. What He Ying said makes sense. If you disagree, do you still have to say that Dortmund's poor performance in the first half is Zhou Yi's responsibility? That is talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Yang Muge, who had been silent before, suddenly said: I was thinking about it just now. What would I do if I encountered Zhou Yi's current situation? I didn't think about it. I think it's just suffering...

When Sun Pan heard Yang Muge say this, he also thought about it, and then shivered. He felt that this was too annoying: Fortunately, I don't have to go through such suffering...

※※※

Almost every Dortmund player who entered the locker room lowered their heads and remained silent without saying a word.

This may be the worst first half they have ever experienced. Even if they lost 1:5 at home to Bayern Munich last season, at least the two sides were still 1:1 in the first half. In this game, Dortmund was beaten There is no way to fight back.

They only had two shots in the whole first half, and they didn't hit the goal frame.

The team coach Klopp was the last to come in. After he came in, he closed the door of the locker room.

The starting XI were all in the dressing room, while the rest of the bench warmed up on the court under the leadership of assistant coach Buvac.

Klopp watched them in silence for a full minute. He didn't say a word, and only the ups and downs of everyone's breathing could be heard in the locker room.

While Klopp didn't speak, he also watched every player.

Almost all the players lowered their heads like this, but when he saw Zhou Yi, he found that Zhou Yi was also looking at him.

A pair of eyes reflected the light in the dressing room, shining brightly.

He was the only player who dared to look at him after such a loss. Klopp suddenly asked him, Zhou Yi, do you have anything to say?

Ah? Zhou Yi looked very surprised. He didn't expect the head coach to ask him so suddenly.

Come on, stand up. Klopp made up his mind to listen to Zhou Yi. He raised his hand and said, Tell me what you think of this first half. What do you think? How do you feel?

Mark next to him secretly swallowed his saliva, then buried his head a little lower.

The other players were even more silent. They all felt that the head coach was super upset, so they took Zhou Yi as a punching bag and wanted to kill chickens to show them...

The smartest thing to do at this time is to keep your head down and be honest.

Unexpectedly, Mark felt that Zhou Yi beside him really... stood up!

Is he crazy? !

Mark's heart was about to jump out.

Could it be that Zhou Yi couldn't hear the anger in the coach's tone.

He really wanted to raise his hand to pull Zhou Yi's clothes and let him sit down, but he was afraid that his action would be seen by the head coach and become the target of his diversion of firepower.

Just when Mark was very anxious, he heard Zhou Yi say: Uh, I don't really have any opinion.

No opinion? Klopp was surprised and asked back.

Not to mention other people, the teammates in the locker room raised their heads and looked at him in surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yi nodded and repeated: Yes, I don't have any special opinions. Because I have experienced worse losses than this one. And more than one. Of course. I was not on the court at that time, And sitting on the bench. But completely empathized. It is normal for the opponent to score six or seven goals in a game...

Gotze touched Mark next to him, and asked him in a low voice: Is it about U17?

Mark glared at him: How is it possible? Dortmund's U17s have never lost so badly!

That's... Getze couldn't figure it out.

Shinji Kagawa looked at Zhou Yi, and suddenly knew what he was going to say. Because when he was in Japan, he heard from Mr. Tim Kiester.

After talking, Zhou Yi simply took two steps forward. Standing in the middle of the dressing room, he looked around at his teammates, including coach Klopp. Then he asked, Have you ever experienced despair?

No one can answer Zhou Yi's inexplicable question.

Zhou Yi continued: I have experienced it.

The doubts in everyone's eyes grew stronger.

There was one game where we conceded eight goals in just the first half.

Zhou Yi's words caused a small commotion in the locker room. Many people gasped.

Eight goals conceded in the first half? Is this something that could happen in a professional game?

It's really... pretty hopeless.

But that’s not what Zhou Yi was talking about. He was actually numb when he scored eight goals in the half. What really made him desperate was when he lost to the La Masia youth team by big scores again and again in virtual games. He lost 0:17 in the first game, and it was like this in dozens of games that followed. If you lose less than ten games, it is already considered very good.

The feeling that no matter how hard you try, you can't beat the opponent in front of you is what really makes people desperate. It can completely make people give up the desire to continue working hard and just want to break the can.

But he still challenges powerful opponents in the virtual world game after game.

In the second half, maybe the opponents thought it was too easy to win the game against us. Anyway, thank them for being merciful and only scored us four goals. In the end, we lost to them with a score of 0:12. Yes, this is not a professional game. , but at the youth team level, but this is not an insignificant friendly match. We challenged our opponents with the desire to win and score goals... Oh, I forgot to introduce, we were a team from China A domestic team of players under the age of seventeen, and I was the only amateur player among them, a student who was still in high school. And our opponent in that game was... La Masia's U17.

Zhou Yi's tone was flat, and he said these words lightly, but it moved many people in the locker room.

Because they all know how strong La Masia's U17 is.

There is a huge difference between our strength and theirs, so it's not surprising to lose twelve goals. So I don't think it's a big deal to lose four goals in the first half. Zhou Yi spread his hands and curled his lips, as if he really didn't care The first half of the game was the same in mind.

Then he continued: There is an end to this story. One and a half months later, when we returned to Barcelona, ​​we beat La Masia U17 2-1.

After speaking, he turned back to his seat and sat down.

His story was over, but the locker room fell silent.

※※※

You guys did a good job! Benitez blushed slightly, which was the blush he only showed when he was excited.

Under tremendous pressure, he urgently needs such a hearty victory.

When he first took over Inter Milan, he was facing a team that had just won the Triple Crown. His predecessor not only left a very dazzling honor to this team, but also branded it left a very deep personal mark on him.

So it is conceivable how Benitez came to this team in the shadow of Mourinho.

He is desperate to break the mark of his predecessor on this team.

Unfortunately, what he did was criticized and resisted.

And... his performance on the court is really not convincing.

After Barcelona won the triple crown, they added three more championships in the second half of the year, thus winning an unprecedented six crowns and creating an achievement that will last forever.

Inter Milan also has this opportunity to tie Barcelona, ​​so that Barcelona is not so lonely in the annals of history.

But alas, Benitez messed everything up.

After leading the team to defeat Roma and win the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan lost to the UEFA Cup champion Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. So say goodbye to the honor of the six crowns.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, it was even tied by the dead team Twente, which further increased the pressure on Benitez's shoulders.

Fortunately, then Inter Milan defeated Valencia 4:0 at home, reversing the decline.

If this game can also beat Dortmund with a big score and a good momentum, then I believe many doubts about him will disappear.

Although Benitez was very happy with the team's performance in the first half, he also rarely praised the team.

However, the players didn't seem to be interested in his praise, and their reaction was mediocre, which caused a sudden embarrassing silence in the locker room...

Benitez, who is not very emotionally intelligent, didn't seem to notice the sudden silence. After praising the team, he began to talk endlessly about the tactics the team should adopt in the second half. Although he had already led by four goals, Benitez He still hopes that the team can win this game more safely, and he doesn't want to have side effects.

But the players didn't seem to listen to his words. In the first half, we led by four goals. We still have one more player than them. What suspense is there in the second half?

Just kick casually and keep the situation under control, so what's the point of making it so complicated?

whispering sound!

※※※

Klopp's applause broke the silence in the dressing room, and he said: Nice story. Now let's talk about the second half. I don't know what we will end up with. It seems that we want to win this game already. It is very difficult, but I hope you will still show fighting spirit in the second half. My request is very practical-even if you can score a goal, it is a good result. At least, we will not be shaved by them at home!

He began to make some adjustments to the team's tactics.

After all, all tactics before the game are based on 4231. But now the team has one less player, Kuba was replaced, Shinji Kagawa went to the wing, and 4231 became 4221.

He asked Mark to be more active, to retreat more, to get closer to Zhou Yi, and to connect with others.

Others have to step out and adjust accordingly. Especially when Zhou Yi is going forward to organize an attack, the back line must pay attention to maintaining the formation, and then move forward, and must be decisive and consistent when making an offside when defending.

Maybe it was the effect of Zhou Yi's story. When everyone listened to the head coach's arrangement, they all raised their heads and were very focused.

No one bowed their heads in silence any more. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
