Champion’s Heart

After the Chinese Derby ended, Chinese fans were still talking about the showdown, and supporters of He Ying and Sun Pan quarreled over who won.

He Ying's supporters believe that He Ying broke through Sun Pan's door and slapped Sun Pan for provoking before the game with practical actions. Moreover, this away goal is worth thousands of dollars and is likely to lay the foundation for Paris Saint-Germain to advance in the future. Such a Of course, He Ying's performance was the winner.

Sun Pan's supporters believe that Atletico Madrid is in the lead based on the team's score, which means Sun Pan has won. As for whether He Ying's away goal is considered an advantage and whether it can help Paris Saint-Germain have the last laugh, those are uncertain things. One possibility cannot be used to declare He Ying's victory.

However, in China, such quarrels are not a big deal. Most people do not pay attention to such a strange angle. They believe that no matter whether they win or lose in this game, the winner is the Chinese player. The two Chinese players performed outstandingly and showed their level to everyone on the top stage in Europe. They also attracted more attention from European media and fans. Their outstanding performance is the best advertisement. In the future, perhaps more capable Chinese players will be able to go abroad more easily and play in Europe.

The day after Atletico Madrid's home game against Paris Saint-Germain, Chinese media and fans will be waiting for another Chinese player in the Champions League.

Dortmund, where Zhou Yi is located, will challenge Shakhtar Donetsk away from home.

Unlike the previous game, there was no suspense in this game. Even if Dortmund, who is in good shape and strong, is playing away from home, how can it be possible that they cannot beat Shakhtar Donetsk?

Even the German media thinks so.

At that time, Dortmund was drawn together with Shakhtar Donetsk, and it was considered that they had received the top lottery.

※※※

Sun Pan and He Ying, who were fighting to the death on the court the day before, also logged into QQ today and watched the live TV broadcast with everyone in the group and discussed in the group. The atmosphere is very harmonious.

Like everyone else, they believed that Dortmund would win this game easily.

But when the game started, the situation did not develop in the direction people thought.

In the heavy snow of Donetsk, Ukraine, Dortmund was locked in a tough battle, and just like this place, they struggled.

On the slippery turf, it was difficult for them to control the football, and passing errors increased significantly.

Although it also snows in Germany in winter, and the snow is quite heavy. However, all Bundesliga stadiums have ultra-efficient geothermal facilities, so there will be no snow on the turf part of the stadium, and the stadium can remain relatively dry.

But the geothermal facilities at the Donbass Arena, home to Shakhtar Donetsk, seem to be not working efficiently enough or are not working at all. There is even snow in some places on the field, making the field muddy and slippery. Dortmund players are very tired on it. Not adaptable.

On the other hand, the players of Shakhtar Donetsk were at ease. They used aggressive running and fierce defense to make it difficult for the Dortmund players.

Thirty minutes into the game, no one was able to break the deadlock. Most of the football was played in the midfield.

But in the 31st minute, the deadlock was broken. The first goal was not the powerful Dortmund, but the home team Shakhtar Donetsk!

Srna!! Beautiful free kick! He opened the scoring for Shakhtar Donetsk!

Amid the cheers of the commentator, Srna, the captain of Shakhtar Donetsk, dived and slid on the snow. His teammates followed suit and swooped over to celebrate his goal.

Behind them were the confused Dortmund players - they came to the away game with the expectation of easily defeating their opponents, but unexpectedly they fell into a tough fight during the game and were scored first!

At this time, the confused Dortmund players heard Zhou Yi's voice. He clapped his hands in the snow and shouted: It's no big deal! This is an away game after all!

After attracting everyone's attention,

Zhou Yi continued to say loudly: Set a small goal first, such as trying to score an away goal first. Calm down and allow others to score goals at your home court!

When he said this, many Dortmund players reacted - they had been too optimistic before. After all, this is the home court of Shakhtar Donetsk. Is there anything wrong with them taking a goal lead at their home court?

In preparing for the game, you should be mentally prepared like this.

Since you lost the ball, try to equalize the score. Not only can it equalize the score, but it can also score an away goal, killing two birds with one stone. Why not?

※※※

So after the game restarted, Dortmund's players quickly adjusted their mentality and began to pay more attention to this opponent.

Zhou Yi also adjusted his offensive strategy on the slippery turf.

He tries to avoid passing the ball that looks cool and thoughtful but makes it more difficult for his teammates to catch it. That kind of pass looks beautiful but puts his teammates at risk of losing their balance when catching the ball. .

He uses some very ordinary passes, but he can ensure that his teammates receive the ball.

In such harsh field conditions, being able to catch the ball is the highest requirement.

And only after you can catch the ball can you talk about offensive opportunities. If you can't even get the ball, no matter how good the opportunity is, it is just a possibility.

Dortmund changed their mentality, played steadily, and actually regained the disadvantage in the situation.

And in the 41st minute, ten minutes after conceding the ball, Dortmund reached the wing after a series of passes and handed it over to Gotze for a cross. Then Lewandowski headed the ball from the center and pushed the football into the goal of Shakhtar Donetsk!

Lewandowski! He equalized the score for Dortmund! 1:1! Dortmund got a valuable away goal!

※※※

The first half ended not long after Dortmund equalized.

Although one goal was conceded, one was also scored. For Dortmund, the final result of this first half was still acceptable.

After fifteen minutes of intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The two sides continued to fight in the midfield, unable to break the deadlock.

For Dortmund, facing such harsh weather and field conditions in the away game, the last 1:1 was completely acceptable to them. During the halftime break, Klopp warned his disciples to be patient. A draw in the away game is a completely acceptable result, so don't be anxious.

Under such circumstances, Shakhtar Donetsk took the lead in making adjustments.

In the 62nd minute, their head coach Lucescu replaced forward Tyson Baroces Freda, also from Brazil, with Brazilian midfielder Douglas Costa.

Replacing a midfielder and removing a forward is to consolidate the defense while also strengthening the midfielder's control ability. Because the two sides basically struggled in the midfield before, if they can control the midfield, they can create more opportunities.

This substitution by Shakhtar Donetsk had an immediate effect.

In the 68th minute, Shakhtar Donetsk defender Yaroslav Rakitsky assisted Douglas Costa, who had just come on, and the latter gave Shakhtar Donetsk the lead!

Douglas Costa! Douglas Costa!! The Ukrainian commentator was very excited. He kept shouting the name of the goal scorer repeatedly. We're ahead again!

Over the Donbas Arena, the cheers of Shakhtar Donetsk fans rang out.

Amid huge cheers, Klopp shook his head helplessly.

This ball should not have been conceded if the venue and weather were good, because Hummels slipped at a critical moment while defending...

As soon as he fell, Douglas Costa, who was advancing forward, was left unmarked. Of course, he could easily score the football into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

For such a conceded goal, Klopp could only lament that God was on the side of Shakhtar Donetsk.

※※※

After Shakhtar Donetsk took a 2:1 lead, everyone in the crowd lamented the tenacity of Shakhtar Donetsk.

It would be really embarrassing if Dortmund lost to Shakhtar Donetsk away from home! Sun Pan said.

Before the game, everyone thought Dortmund could win easily, but now after watching the nearly 70 minutes of the game, I feel that it is completely acceptable if Dortmund can get 1:2 in the end... Guo Nu said.

※※※

But Klopp doesn't think 1:2 is acceptable. If it's 1:1, he can accept it. He can also accept 2:2, but 1:2 is not acceptable.

So he replaced captain Kyle with Mark in the 70th minute.

This is a signal to step up the attack.

Since Mark returned from injury, he is no longer an immovable main force in Dortmund. Before he was injured, he was the perfect choice on the front line, and Lewandowski hadn't fully emerged at that time.

A year after he was seriously injured, Lewandowski broke out completely and became the team's top scorer. It would be difficult for Mark to regain the main position from him. Coupled with the introduction of Royce, Mark became a rotation player in the team.

But Mark has no complaints. He is a die-hard Dortmund fan. He is actually very similar to Grosskreutz. As long as he can play for his beloved team, he doesn't care whether he is a starter or what position he plays. .

As long as he is allowed to play, he will play seriously and faithfully carry out the tasks assigned to him by the head coach.

In fact, the head coach likes such a player very much because he doesn't cause trouble and has strength. This kind of player is indispensable for any team.

After coming on the field, Mark ran hard on the court and created opportunities for the team. He was not greedy for the ball, and he would not necessarily control the ball in the muddy and slippery field.

After more than 70 minutes of players from both sides running back and forth, the turf of this stadium was actually overwhelmed.

The movement of football on the ground is becoming more and more irregular, and it is naturally more difficult for players to control the ball.

Why Shakhtar Donetsk can take the lead is because they play very simply. After getting the ball, they drive forward with a big kick. If they can get the ball, they have a chance to shoot. If they can't get the ball, it will be a waste of time.

This kind of offense is actually very ugly and not necessarily very efficient, but in this kind of weather and field conditions, it is very practical.

On the contrary, Dortmund's offense is slightly more complicated.

Seeing that the game time was getting shorter and shorter, Zhou Yi realized that some changes had to be made.

Many people can accept the score of 1:2, but Zhou Yi is definitely not among those who can accept it. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
