As Zhou Yi thought, being eliminated from the German Cup did not actually have a big impact on Dortmund. For the Offenbach Kickers, this game is probably worth bragging about for a season, but for Dortmund, they can forget about it after a week.

Because compared with the Bundesliga and the Champions League, the German Cup is nothing worth mentioning. The team has more important games to prepare for, so I don't have the heart to feel sad and unwilling to be eliminated from the German Cup here.

Play another league game, and they will welcome Inter Milan at home.

Dortmund is now ranked first in the group and Inter Milan is second in the group. If Dortmund can beat Inter Milan at home, then their first place in the group will be more stable.

Compared with the German Cup, this is a game worthy of Dortmund's all-out efforts.

In the league before this game, Dortmund challenged Mainz away.

Mainz is currently ranked first in the league, and their state is surprisingly good.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Mainz would fall from the top of the league table after four league rounds. Unexpectedly, they are still at the top of the league after nine rounds. This is really a remarkable performance.

Mainz is also the former club of Dortmund coach Klopp. He was chosen by Dortmund because of his excellent coaching performance in Mainz.

Today, he is replaced by the former Mainz youth coach Tuchel in Mainz.

This game is not only a contest between the second and first in the league, but also a contest between Klopp and Tuchel's master and apprentice.

Zhou Yi, who had a full rest in the German Cup, returned to the team again.

After the German Cup match, he received calls from many media reporters. Among them, the Chinese reporters asked him about Sun Pan, while the German reporters asked him about the team's opinion of not participating in the game and losing.

Zhou Yi is naturally on the side of the collective at this time. He said that no one wants the team to lose the game, but this is football, and there will always be some surprises. And he doesn't think it's because of his teammates' poor performance. He thinks everyone performed very well, but the opponent's goalkeeper is really too good.

In the end, he didn't forget to add that even if he participated in this game, it might be difficult to help the team beat the opponent.

...I feel like we're not shooting a goal, we're shooting a wall.

In fact, this is of course Zhou Yi's modest statement. He could not be very arrogant and said that it was because Klopp did not take himself to the away game that led to the team's loss.

He's not stupid, why should he be a public enemy?

But back to the team lineup, Zhou Yi had to face Mainz.

For Mainz, Zhou Yi can be regarded as familiar.

Because when he played for Dortmund U19, he was competing with Mainz U19 for the league title.

At that time, the head coach of Mainz U19 was Tuchel.

And there are players in that Mainz U19 team who have also been promoted to the current Mainz first team.

The most prominent and famous, the one who impressed Zhou Yi the most is probably their striker Xu Erle.

Before the match between Dortmund U19s and Mainz U19s, everyone thought that this game would be a contest between two German talents. The representative of Mainz U19 is of course Schurrle, and the representative of Dortmund U19 is Gotze.

But in that game, it was neither Schurle nor Goetze who finally stood out, but Zhou Yi.

He scored a hat-trick in the final, helping Dortmund U19 defeat Mainz U19 with a score of 4:1, and won the U19 National League Championship of the season.

The face-saving goal for Mainz U19 was scored by Schurrle.

Although Mainz U19 lost to Dortmund U19 in the final, Schurrle became the team's top scorer in that youth league. Therefore, in July of that year, the club signed a professional contract with him .

And in the first game of the 2009-2010 season, he completed his Bundesliga debut. Soon, he completed his first assist in Mainz's upset victory over Bayern Munich.

The first goal was in Mainz's away game against Bochum, scoring twice and scoring twice.

Although in the youth team, he lost to Zhou Yi in the end. But in the first team, he was famous earlier than Zhou Yi.

Last season was Schurrle's first season in the Bundesliga. In the end, he played 33 times in that season and scored five goals. As a young player, he performed very well.

He also attracted the attention of the top Bundesliga teams.

In September of this year, the Mainz club reached an agreement with the Leverkusen club, and Schurrle will move to Leverkusen after one season.

In other words, this season will be his last season in Mainz.

He has played nine rounds this season. He has started three times, played five times as a substitute, and scored four goals. He is currently the top scorer in the Mainz team.

In the next game, Schurrle was on the list announced by Tuchel.

However, it is not yet known whether he will be a starter or a substitute in the end.

Although Xu Erle played in the professional league earlier than Zhou Yi, but now in terms of fame, Zhou Yi is still better.

Because Zhou Yi is already the main core of Dortmund Ray, Schurrle has more substitutes than starts in Mainz this season...

Zhou Yi went to Mainz with the team, and his experience in the youth team will naturally be revealed by the reporters.

He completed a hat-trick against Mainz U19 that year, and he was the biggest contributor to helping Dortmund U19 defeat Mainz U19 and win the Youth League Championship.

So some Chinese media can't wait to put Zhou Yi on the hat of Mainz nemesis.

There is also the media expecting him and Schurle to continue their grievances in this game.

But to the disappointment of the hype-loving media, Schurrle once again made it to the bench in this game...

But Zhou Yi started the game.

After the start of this battle for the top spot in the league, Dortmund turned away from the guest and launched a fierce offensive against Mainz.

They seem to want to vent all their grievances about being eliminated by a third-tier team in the German Cup on Mainz.

The German Cup has been lost, and the league championship has become their only domestic honor.

I have to say that the current Dortmund is indeed much stronger than before, as long as they don't underestimate the enemy...

Although it is an away game, Dortmund can also suppress Mainz at home.

This is naturally inseparable from the Zhouyi Juzhong dispatching organization.

Therefore, some German media believe that Dortmund's loss to Offenbach Kicker in the German Cup in midweek has a lot to do with Zhou Yi not playing. This statement is not unreasonable...

Because Dortmund's offensive performance is indeed different with Zhouyi and without Zhouyi. With Zhouyi, Dortmund is obviously at ease when attacking, and the players are also confident in running positions.

And without Zhou Yi's offensive performance...Just refer to the performance against the Offenbach kicker in the last game. If everything goes well, it's okay, the problem can be solved by the player's personal ability. But if you encounter some resistance, what you need is an organized attack with a backbone. However, Zhou Yi didn't even make the squad in that game. Dortmund, who has no backbone, can only rely on the individual abilities of the players and has not formed a good formation. An organic whole, coupled with the goalkeeper Sun Pan who opened the door and the players of the Offenbach Kickers who are united and determined to drag the game into a penalty shootout...

It is not surprising that there is such a result in the end.

Now this Dortmund away game against Mainz is simply a negative example of that German Cup.

Under Zhou Yi's organization, Dortmund's offense is only methodical and more blooming, as if they can threaten Mainz's goal everywhere.

In the 25th minute, after Dortmund continued to attack, Gotze scored.

Mario Gotze! He scored! Last time against Mainz U19s, he didn't score despite the high-profile, and this time he finally scored!

Although this goal was not assisted by Zhou Yi, it was initiated by Zhou Yi. He also had a key transfer in it, which finally opened up the situation for Dortmund's attack.

This is the difference between Zhou Yi's presence and absence! Duan Xin started the Zhou Chuan mode. Zhou Yi gave Dortmund's offense direction, inspiration and creativity!

In his praise, Zhou Yi was running with his teammates to hug Goetze who scored the goal.

Dortmund is back on the right track! Marcel Leff said the same when he saw this scene, fully affirming the significance of Zhou Yi to Dortmund.

In the first half, Dortmund took a temporary lead with this goal. After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides will change sides and fight again.

At the end of the first half, it was not Goetze who scored the most close-up shots, but Zhou Yi.

This shows that Zhou Yi was the key figure in the first half and played the best.

Looking at Zhou Yi's performance in this half of the game, will Klopp regret not taking him to Offenbach?

Klopp will not regret it, because a well-rested Zhouyi will have a very obvious effect on the team's next league and Champions League...
