Champion’s Heart

Chapter 54 Taking Advantage

Although Zhou Yi's volley did not score a goal, it played a role in boosting morale.

This was the response of Dortmund, or Zhou Yi, when Chelsea had just taken the lead - if you think you have an advantage just because you are one goal ahead, you are wrong!

Even a fool can see this ball. If Zhou Yi can hit it within the goal frame, then even Sun Pan will not be able to save the ball. He will definitely score!

The fact that he didn't save the ball just now was not because the football missed the target, but because he was slow.

The same ball, if Zhou Yi shot within the goal frame, Sun Pan still couldn't stop it.

So who says Chelsea are invincible as long as they lead by one goal?

Although Sun Pan is the moving Great Wall, it cannot be crossed?

As long as you have the will and want to do something, you can always succeed.

This naturally sets a good example for other Dortmund players, and to a certain extent can even be regarded as breaking the myth.

So in the next game, the performance of Dortmund players did not fall into chaos due to conceding the ball early as some people expected.

On the contrary, it made the offense more vigorous and more threatening...

In the 11th minute, Zhou Yi picked up the ball near the center circle. Without even raising his head, he turned around and sent a diagonal pass to the left.

When the football rolled past, Aubameyang used his speed to catch up with the football, and then led it towards Chelsea's penalty area.

Then a pass was passed, and Mark received the header in the middle.

Under the personal interference of Ruiz, the top was lifted.

In the 16th minute, Zhou Yi himself took a long shot from the top of the free throw arc outside the penalty area. It was not a powerful and heavy long shot, but a shot with an obvious arc. The football drew an arc and circled It passed the Chelsea defender in the penalty area, and also bypassed the fingertips of goalkeeper Sun Pan's shot. Of course, because the arc was too big, it also bypassed the right goal post, missed the goal, and then touched the side net!

Although he didn't score a goal, this kick scared the Chelsea fans, because the scene when the football touched the side net and lifted the net was really like a goal...

Zhou Yi himself felt very sorry and held his head in his hands.

Sun Pan got up from the ground, cursing: Damn! You really fucking covered me when you saw me!

Although he said this, in his heart, Sun Pan knew that his heartbeat was a little fast... It was always dangerous to let the other party continue to bombard like this.

In the 22nd minute, Mark got the ball in the penalty area and responded. Royce followed up with a long shot from outside the penalty area. This was a long shot with strong power and a tricky angle.

But the football was saved by Sun Pan bravely.

Sun Pan! It's like one man is in charge, and ten thousand men can't stop him! He Ping, the narrator of Poet, couldn't help but read two lines of poetry.

These are two sentences from The Road to Shu is Difficult by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. For Dortmund, the goal guarded by Sun Pan is indeed as difficult as the Road to Shu.

Marcel Leif reminded Dortmund: Although Chelsea have not played very conservatively now. But I believe that as the game time goes by, when there is not much time left in the second half, if the score has not been rewritten, Murry Neo will definitely not mind putting a bus in front of the goal. When the time comes, coupled with Sun Pan's outstanding personal ability, it will be difficult for Dortmund to score...

Dortmund also knows very well that they know enough about Mourinho and Sun Pan - they played against both in the Champions League last season.

Therefore, Dortmund also stepped up its offensive, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible and bring the game back to the same starting line.

In the 26th minute, Zhou Yi sent an overhead pass outside the penalty area. Royce succeeded in countering offside and received Zhou Yi's pass in the ribs of the penalty area. Then he turned around and volleyed, this time the shot was too straight, and Sun Pan hugged him directly.

In the 29th minute, Aubameyang used his speed to dribble the ball from the left and suddenly cut inside. Then he shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area, but it missed the goal...

Chelsea took full advantage of Dortmund's opportunity to strengthen their offense and beat Dortmund's counterattack, and this is exactly the offensive routine that Mourinho is good at.

In the 31st minute, Schürrle used his speed to get rid of Schmelzer from the wing and made a pass. Torres received the ball in the middle and turned around to shoot. The football flew against the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

In the 34th minute, Chelsea intercepted Aubameyang's pass to Zhou Yi in the backcourt, and then launched a counterattack. Oscar dribbled the ball through the half at high speed and passed the football directly to Torres who was on the right.

Torres, who scored the goal, was very active in this game and always appeared in the right position.

After receiving the ball, Torres hit the far corner of the penalty area and the ball missed the baseline...

Facing Chelsea's counterattack, Dortmund did not show any hesitation. They did not shrink and solidify their defense just because Chelsea's counterattack was sharp. The solution given by Zhou Yi on the court was to continue attacking and attack more violently. to suppress Chelsea's counterattack. He led Dortmund to launch wave after wave of attacks towards Chelsea's goal.

In the 38th minute, Royce passed the football to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi caught the ball in the middle and tried to take a long shot. Ruiz jumped up and turned his back, intending to use his body to block Zhou Yi's long shot. .

It turned out that Zhou Yi was just a fake move. After his right foot landed, he didn't shoot. Instead, he sent a through ball and passed the football into the penalty area! Mark cleverly stepped in, received the ball and kicked the ball!

Sun Pan made a save, but it did not work because the football was knocked to the ground by another central defender Gary Cahill and blocked the bottom line with his legs...

What a danger! Dortmund's offensive during this period has been very fierce! They even formed a tendency to besiege Chelsea's goal... the British commentator said with some fear. Before the game, everyone analyzed that Dortmund's state in this game should not be very good. This has something to do with their core Zhou Yi running back and forth to receive the award... But judging from the actual game, Dortmund didn't feel like they had anything at all. In poor condition... As for Zhou Yi? He is still the core of Dortmund, the engine and catalyst of Dortmund's offense... Chelsea imposed some restrictions on him, but those restrictions did not achieve the expected effect. He ran actively on the court. , he can be found in almost every corner of the midfield and frontcourt. His ubiquity allows Dortmund to launch attacks anywhere on the field, making it difficult for Chelsea to defend...

The British commentator was on to something.

Dortmund in this game was indeed not as tired and out of shape as people thought. On the contrary, they performed very aggressively. In the first two minutes of the game, they created a threatening shot. So far, both in terms of the number of shots and the number of shots within the goal frame, Dortmund has more. Not to mention the ball possession rate, Dortmund has an absolute advantage.

This was even when Dortmund conceded a goal...

There was not much time left in the first half, and everyone was surprised to find that Dortmund did not adapt at all. As the core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi was functioning normally and showed no feeling of fatigue. His lack of adaptability to the field did not affect him. He ran freely on this pitch and handled the ball just like he did at Westminster Stadium, as if he had secretly adapted to the pitch in the middle of the night yesterday...

Of course these people don't know that the virtual world in Zhou Yi's mind can perfectly simulate the real world, including the turf condition of a stadium in the real world.

Unless someone was changing the turf overnight the night before the game, but who could be that bored? Not everyone is Tony Twain...

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, frowning. If you just look at his expression, you will think that Chelsea is behind now, but in fact Chelsea is the one-goal lead. But Mourinho will not feel relaxed because he is ahead.

He was a little confused about Zhou Yi. How could he perform like this even after flying thousands of kilometers back and forth and not sleeping well?

His assistant, friend and Chelsea fitness coach Rui Faria saw Mourinho standing motionless on the sidelines, like a statue. Faria, who knew him well, knew that Mourinho must be in trouble. So he walked up to him.

Although he didn't speak or move, Mourinho knew that there was an extra person beside him, and he also knew who it was.

Rui, I think we misjudged Zhou Yi. Mourinho frowned and said, Obviously, there was no fatigue on him. We were deceived by Klopp, and he deliberately We released some wrong information, such as Zhou Yi going to attend the award ceremony and not having a good rest...

Faria said: I think this may not be Klopp's idea. I was observing Klopp just now and found that he was also a little surprised by this situation. Maybe he did not expect that his team was falling behind. The more you play, the better.

Hearing this, Mourinho turned his head and glanced at the Dortmund coaching bench strangely. He saw Klopp sitting on the coaching bench covering his mouth and talking to his assistant Buvac.

That's really interesting... Mourinho snorted.

※※※

This is really interesting. Klopp sighed to his assistant coach Buvac, covering his mouth.

It's really interesting. Zhou Yi's performance is simply beyond our imagination, and he can also drive the whole team to perform very well... Buvac also nodded in admiration.

But Buvac would clearly be mistaken.

So Klopp shook his head: No, I'm not saying this is very interesting. I have never doubted Zhou Yi's ability. I am not surprised at all that Zhou Yi has such an ability to adjust his state. What is interesting to me is Zhou Yi's performance in this game The offensive idea he chose... Facing Chelsea, he played more cleanly, whether he was handling the ball himself or driving the rhythm... Did you notice? He made more forward passes in this game, and There weren’t many cross passes or back passes.”

Buvac heard what Klopp said, thought about it carefully, and found that it was true. Dortmund's so many shots and attacks in the first half are related to Zhou Yi's continuous delivery of shells forward. At the front of Chelsea's penalty area, he rarely leads his teammates to pass back and forth to look for opportunities. Instead, he uses a simple and direct method to threaten Chelsea's goal, either passing the football to his teammates to form a shot, or taking a kick himself.

At halftime, I'm going to let Zhou Yi come and talk about why he did what he did. Klopp said.

I'm curious too. Buvac smiled.

He didn't seem surprised or surprised by Klopp's actions.
