Champion’s Heart

Chapter 171: Paper Tiger!

Guo Nu can't respond to Zhou Yi's words because of lack of confidence, after all, he can't play.

But other Inter Milan players will not remain silent when facing Zhou Yi.

The team's main midfielder Sneijder expressed his views on the game.

The last game was really surprising, and we didn't expect it to end up like that. But it also sounded the alarm for us, so that we don't underestimate the enemy. Dortmund is a good team, we will Go all out.

What Ned said sounded polite.

Central defender Lucio's words were not so pleasant: West ****? I've been there more than once, it's no big deal. Their home game advantage is not as great as they think. As long as we don't underestimate the enemy, You can defeat them!

Lucio has played for Leverkusen and Bayern Munich for many years before, and he is very familiar with Dortmund, and his attitude towards Dortmund will definitely not be much better, because when he played in the Bundesliga before, Dortmund were all His enemy, he would naturally not be polite.

Before the game, the war of words between the two sides started. It's just that people didn't expect that Zhou Yi started this war of words...

※※※

In the war of words, Inter Milan came to Dortmund's home court, the West**** Stadium.

During the warm-up before the game, Lucio heard boos directed at him. But he didn't feel anything about it, he was used to it.

It is not the first time he has come to this stadium as an opponent.

The important thing is to play well.

Every Inter Milan player firmly believes that as long as they don't underestimate the enemy, even in the away game, they can beat their opponents.

For this reason, they are fully prepared, how can the boos in the stands affect them?

So when Inter Milan conceded a goal in the 18th minute of the game, they were a little unresponsive—what's going on?

Oh! Sven Bender! This is his first Champions League goal this season! Bender is not the kind of player who is good at scoring, but facing such a good opportunity. It seems unreasonable not to score !” cried Marcel Leff. Dortmund are now leading 1-0!

Such a good opportunity was created by Zhou Yi. After he and other teammates attracted Inter Milan's defensive attention, they suddenly passed the football to Sven Bender who advanced forward. Bender didn't even have a single defender when he got the ball at the paint line. As Marcel Leff said, how could such a good chance not score?

So Sven Bender took a low shot without hesitation, and the football lifted the turf past Cesar's fingers and flew into the goal...

The West **** stadium shook, as if an earthquake had occurred only here!

In stark contrast to the elated Dortmund players. It was the stunned expression of the Inter Milan players.

They never expected that their team would concede a goal in the first 18 minutes...

Didn't you agree that if you don't underestimate the enemy, you won't lose to them?

※※※

Dortmund relied on this ball in the first half,

Leading Inter Milan at home.

Inter Milan also tried to counterattack, but there was no way to break through the defense line composed of Hummels, Subotic, Piszczek and Schmelzer, let alone threaten the goalkeeper Lan who came on as a substitute Weidenfeller. Gluck is gone.

Until the end of the first half, they failed to score and could only return to the locker room with hatred.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the second half of the game, Inter Milan's performance did not change.

Their offense seemed disjointed. Everyone relies more on simple routines and personal performance to attack.

...this Inter Milan team seems to be less able to deal with difficulties when they encounter difficulties. What was impressive last season was their home in Barcelona. They lost one man shortly after the start, and in the end they were united and blocked. Barcelona's attack finally eliminated their opponents and entered the Champions League final. The Inter Milan team seemed to be completely unafraid of any accidents. But now... encountering a little difficulty, Inter Milan seems to have no idea how to play...

Marcel Leif commented.

He pointedly pointed out the problem of Inter Milan.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because Inter Milan lacks the desire to win and lacks the motivation to forge ahead in adversity. This all stems from their already successful enough last season. Of course, without a charismatic head coach, players are unwilling to work hard for a coach like Benitez. It is also one of the important reasons.

However, Inter Milan themselves may not be aware of such a problem. The players still think that they are the defending champions, that they are very strong, and that they are strong contenders for the Champions League this season.

Marcel Leff suddenly thought of what Zhou Yi said before the game. He said that at Dortmund's home court, Inter Milan will be in a difficult battle.

Now it seems that is true.

Inter Milan has fallen into a hard fight!

Moreover, it seems that Zhou Yi discovered the truth of Inter Milan's weakness under its seemingly powerful appearance earlier than they all...

Some people think that what Zhou Yi said before the game was a psychological warfare, but now it seems that he just told the truth. It's a pity that the truth is hard to stop, no one believes it...

Fifty-third minute. Benitez was the first to make adjustments, replacing Muntari with young Nigerian midfielder Obiola Nwankovo.

However, this substitution was questioned by the Italian commentator: It is right for Inter Milan to make a substitution when we are behind. But Benitez's adjustment made it completely unintelligible...he used a defensive A defensive midfielder for another defensive midfielder, what does he want to do?

Not to mention that the narrator felt strange, Muntari who was replaced was very puzzled.

After leaving the field, Muntari didn't even shake hands with Benitez, he walked directly back to the bench, and then sat down.

In fact, Enwankovo ​​may not know why the head coach changed him to play, although the head coach let him play to mark Zhou Yi.

But this does not solve the problem that the team is now one goal behind.

And... Zhou Yi is really not something this young general can keep an eye on.

He has a wide range of activities, and the big Jean Enwankovo ​​didn't know whether he should follow him or not.

In the 61st minute, just ten minutes after Benitez's substitution adjustment. Zhou Yi ran to the wing to instigate an offensive, he passed the football to Gotze, Gotze kicked a cross, followed up in the middle, and DeMarco's deft flash between Lucio and Samuel grabbed the point , and then shook his head to attack the goal!

2:0!! Mark Wagner!! His fourth goal in the Champions League this season! Dortmund leads Inter Milan 2:0 at home!

Oh, what Zhou Yi said is really good, this Inter Milan team is a 'paper tiger'... Watching Dortmund's players embrace and celebrate the goal, Yang Muge said in the group.

Damn, I really didn't expect Inter Milan to be so weak! Sun Pan was also surprised.

It's normal to lose motivation after winning the championship. In addition to various internal strife. He Ying said.

Guo Nu didn't say a word. He also watched the match on TV in his apartment. Now he doesn't want to talk, and he doesn't know what to say.

This result was really beyond his expectations. He secretly saved so much character for Inter Milan in the group, but now it seems that it has no effect at all...

Is Inter really... a paper tiger?

※※※

The Italian commentator pointed the finger at Benitez: I know why the Spaniard replaced Nwankovo. It's very simple, because Nwankovo ​​was transferred from the youth team to the first team, and he wanted to focus on it. The 'direct descendants' cultivated. But unfortunately, the performance of the Nigerian teenager did not give Benitez the confidence! This goal was caused by his lax marking of Zhou Yi!

Poor Enwankovo ​​just became a victim of factional struggles within the team...

After Dortmund's second goal, Benitez made another substitution, replacing forward Biabiani with playmaker Coutinho. Still in the midfield to control the context chapter.

Obviously, Benitez believes that although Inter Milan has midfielders such as Sneijder and Zanetti, they still cannot take control of the midfield away from Dortmund...

He wasn't very happy about it.

In the 71st minute, he made another substitution, this time using striker Milito for another striker Pandev.

Continue to strengthen the attack.

At this time, Klopp did not replace Zhou Yi again, but chose to let Zhou Yi continue to play, because with him, Dortmund's midfield control is as stable as Mount Tai.

Klopp has experienced this in the previous games. As long as Zhou Yi is replaced in advance, Dortmund's control will plummet.

Therefore, in the league against Mainz, Klopp did not let Zhou Yi take a rest when the opponent launched a counterattack, but kept him on the court.

The result, of course, was that Dortmund defeated Mainz 2-0 in the away game and won the first place in the league.

In this situation, Klopp is of course even more unlikely to let Zhou Yi end.

Zhou Yi also knows how to play. After leading by two goals, in order to ensure that his physical strength is enough to last until the end of the game, Zhou Yi himself rarely goes forward. He is in the position of the midfielder and uses long passes to organize the attack. Use short and medium distance passes to schedule and control the tempo.

In this way, his running range is reduced, and his physical strength is naturally saved. And because it is difficult for the opponent's defensive players to rush up to defend him at the midfielder position, he does not need to rely on a wide range of running to get rid of the defense...
