Champion’s Heart

When Zhou Yi got the ball at the Allianz Arena, there were some boos in the stands. The boos were not loud, but they were there.

This is normal.

Because Zhou Yi is the most threatening person to Bayern Munich.

It was at this stadium last season that Zhou Yi defeated Bayern Munich with two goals.

So it's normal for Bayern Munich fans to have opinions about him.

However, apart from defeating Bayern Munich, Zhou Yi seems to have no other black spots, so even if Bayern Munich fans don't like him, they must respect him, so there are not many boos.

Amid sporadic boos, Zhou Yi passed the football around and directed Dortmund's offensive and defensive rhythm.

Bayern Munich in this game is more difficult to deal with than Bayern Munich last season.

This is not what Zhou Yi experienced in this game, but in a virtual game.

The reason is also very simple. Bayern Munich ended their chaotic state last season. After Van Gaal resigned, Bayern Munich's locker room returned to calm. They invited a respected old coach Hein who was not as strong as Van Gaal. kes.

After solving the problems in the locker room, Bayern Munich's own strong strength can be brought into play.

Therefore, if a strong team has problems, it must be because of internal problems. Because with their strong strength, it is very rare for outsiders to make them make mistakes.

Every time Bayern Munich loses the league title in the Bundesliga, it can almost be considered that there was an internal problem first.

This is why they are said to be the boss of the Bundesliga, because as long as they perform well, other teams basically have no chance.

Dortmund's league title last season, that's it. Bayern Munich had a big problem of its own. Van Gaal and the entire team had a falling out. The team's mind was not on the game. Dortmund took advantage of the situation and stole the league championship.

This story happened again and again in previous seasons when Bayern Munich failed to win the championship.

But this time, Bayern Munich's own performance didn't have any big problems.

After Heynckes took charge, Bayern Munich reached the top of the league in the fourth round of this season.

After that, it never came down again, and it has always been first in the league.

If they can beat Dortmund in this game, they will also be first in the league.

Zhou Yi has played against Bayern Munich many times in virtual games. He knows that this team is now stronger than last season.

Therefore, in the real game, he did not direct the team to violently attack Bayern Munich's goal at the beginning, although some people may still have the impression from the match between the two sides last season that Dortmund can easily defeat Bayern Munich on the road.

But Zhou Yi knew that this was a very dangerous idea.

If Dortmund really thinks that Bayern Munich is easy to bully and presses hard, Bayern Munich may launch a defensive counterattack. You must know that Robben and Ribery, the two fast wingers, are both on the court.

Therefore, he controlled Dortmund to play steadily and did not make aggressive advances when attacking.

Of course, this approach will make the game less enjoyable, but winning is the most important thing.

Heynckes stood on the sidelines and directed the game.

However, before the game, he arranged a countermeasure against Dortmund after they pressed the attack, which was to counterattack.

Make full use of the super speed and super personal abilities of Ribery and Robben.

Therefore, after the game started, Bayern Munich's posture was very low, as if it was not playing at home.

But Dortmund were not fooled.

Heynckes set his sights on Zhou Yi, and he certainly knew why Dortmund was not fooled.

Because this young Chinese is the clearest person in the room.

He saw through his intentions.

As a Bundesliga coach, Heynckes is no stranger to Zhouyi. He had already played against Zhou Yi when he was coaching at Leverkusen. He knows Zhou Yi very well, because Dortmund and Leverkusen competed for the championship last season. How could he not study his direct competitors?

With his understanding of the Book of Changes, he would still find it incredible - how could such a young child be so experienced and seasoned?

He has been coaching for thirty-two seasons since the 1979-1980 season. During these thirty-two seasons, he has seen many players of all kinds, but he has never seen anyone like Zhou Yi.

This is a mysterious figure, elusive.

Under Zhou Yi's intentional control, Bayern Munich had no chance to counterattack.

So the game turned into a stalemate position battle between the two sides. When Dortmund attacked, Bayern Munich's defensive formation remained intact, and when Bayern Munich attacked, Dortmund's defense had no obvious loopholes.

Moreover, both sides, relying on their own super strength, can also get some opportunities to threaten the goal under such conditions.

It’s just that the goalkeepers of both teams played well.

Dortmund's goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, and Bayern Munich's goalkeeper has undergone tremendous changes compared to last season. This summer, Schalke 04's main goalkeeper Neuer joined Bayern Munich and became Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper. goalkeeper.

At that time, this transfer transaction caused huge controversy among Schalke 04.

This is actually the tragedy of the entire Bundesliga team. The players they worked hard to train originally thought they could become legends of their own clubs, but in the end they became Bayern Munich stars...

Bayern Munich has not been able to find a stable and reliable goalkeeper since Kahn retired. They have tried the young goalkeeper Lensing and the veteran goalkeeper Bute introduced from Hamburg. These people have indeed had outstanding performances, but they are not stable enough. Bayern Munich's performance has been ups and downs in the past few seasons, which is also related to the fact that their goalkeeper has never been fixed.

So this summer, they hired Neuer from Schalke 04 at any cost, the most popular young goalkeeper in German football today.

Neuer's arrival had an immediate impact. After twelve rounds of the league, Bayern Munich only conceded four goals, making it the team that conceded the fewest goals in the league. This has a lot to do with Neuer.

With the goalkeepers of both teams playing well, no one scored in the first half and the score was 0:0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and both teams began to speed up the pace.

Especially Bayern Munich, this is their home court, if they can't win in the end, it will be unjustifiable.

As for Dortmund, their mentality is slightly better. After all, it is an away game. Even if they end up playing 0:0 with Bayern Munich, it is not unacceptable.

However, although Bayern Munich has strengthened their offense, their defensive strength has not been weakened much. Heynckes still pays great attention to defense.

The game was very stalemate, with Robben and Ribery constantly attacking Dortmund's penalty area from both wings. Dortmund relied on Zhouyi's overall passing and controlling style to compete with them.

The game lasted until almost seventy minutes, and the score was still 0:0.

If they continue playing like this, Dortmund seems to be really going to take a point from the Allianz Arena.

Especially as the game time went by, Dortmund still played unhurriedly under the leadership of Zhou Yi, and they frequently made mistakes in the midfield and backcourt. Sometimes when you watch in the stands or in front of the TV, you obviously have a chance. As long as you can pass the football, you can make a shot.

But as long as the ball is at Zhou Yi's feet, he will always take a false shot and then pass the football elsewhere.

So it seemed that Dortmund just missed a scoring opportunity.

But in fact, Zhou Yi did this for a reason. It was not that he didn't see the openings. We have just finished two national team games. Everyone is very tired and their bodies are not in the best condition. In addition, the game lasted for almost 70 minutes. This is a bottleneck period for the physical fitness of the players on the court. It is at this moment that they are most likely to tire.

If you try more through balls at this time, which are very risky and have a low success rate, then your teammates may not be able to catch the ball, and you will only waste offensive opportunities.

When your physical condition is not very good, don't take risks and choose those high-risk play styles.

Zhou Yi also experienced this in virtual competitions. Although there will be no physical penalties for consecutive games in the virtual game, in a single game, the physical loss will still have a relatively real response.

About seventy minutes of each game is when the players feel most tired. At this time, Zhou Yi chooses to pass the ball, even if he sees the space and accurately passes the football into the space, his teammates He doesn’t always catch the ball. The success rate of through balls is already low, but in this case the success rate is even lower.

If you do this in a virtual game and lose possession of the ball, it will have no impact on reality. After all, if you don't win one game, you can still play again. As for the limited-time competition, for this one opportunity, if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. After the midfield whistle, everything was finalized. Therefore, in the virtual game, Zhou Yi can try as many as he wants. This kind of offensive combination, that kind of offensive routine, as long as he has an idea in his mind, he can try it.

But when it comes to real games, he has to be cautious. His choices in real games also make sense, his caution makes sense, and his risk-taking makes sense.

Seeing that Dortmund was losing ground frequently and seemed unwilling to make progress, the boos at the Allianz Arena became louder and louder.

Bayern Munich fans hope to use this method to stimulate Dortmund players and make them make passing errors.

But Zhou Yi was unmoved. How he played before was how he played now.

In this way, the game reached the 75th minute.

The score is still 0:0.

Zhou Yi kept turning his head to observe on the court. He was not watching the ball, but watching the people. Sometimes the football was on the left, but he didn't even look at it, just looking at the situation on the right.

What is he looking at?

He's watching the players' movements and looking at their physical condition from their running movements.

After passing the bottleneck period, everyone's physical performance is better than before.

Of course, some people will say that this is just a return to the past, not a real improvement in physical fitness. Some people firmly believe that after breaking through the bottleneck period, their physical fitness will indeed be at a stage where they will not feel tired no matter how hard they use it.

But no matter which situation it is, it is the same for Zhou Yi, that is, his teammates have regained some running ability.

At this time, you can consider taking risks! (To be continued.)
