Champion’s Heart

Chapter 96 The Pillar of Dortmund

Klopp is happy, but next door Jens Keller is anything but happy.

Originally, Zhou Yi's sudden start made him very surprised and passive. Asking Neustadt to mark Zhou Yi was also a temporary measure. Now Zhou Yi actually instigated such a beautiful team goal...

Keller previously felt that Zhou Yi might not be able to perform well when he came on the court.

Now it seems that a thought suddenly popped up in his mind-could he have been deceived?

Who was deceived?

Keller didn't believe that Yang Muge would deceive him. He had been coaching this team for almost a year, and he still knew very well who Yang Muge was.

After thinking about it, the one who might deceive myself in the end is of course Dortmund.

If Dortmund wanted to deceive themselves... it would be too easy!

Keller recalled the news about Zhou Yi's injury that he had learned from the media this week, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong.

Especially what Zhou Yi said to Yang Muge himself... I didn't think there was any problem at the time. But now I think about it, if he really wanted to deceive the honest Yang Muge, wouldn't it be too easy?

However, Keller had never doubted the friendship between Zhou Yi and Yang Muge before, thinking that Zhou Yi would not deceive his good friend. But now... what can't that cunning Eastern wizard do? !

How abominable!

He actually took advantage of his friend’s friendship!

The angry Keller never thought that when he asked Yang Muge to obtain information from Zhou Yi, he was actually taking advantage of the friendship between Yang Muge and Zhou Yi...

What should we do now? the assistant came up and asked.

What to do? No what to do! This is a derby! One goal can't defeat us! Keller gritted his teeth. He is also a coach who has coached a Ruderby before. What kind of big storms does he think he has never seen?

※※※

When the game started, Jens Keller did not make any adjustments. Neustadt continued to mark Zhou Yi, and Yang Muge continued to sweep away.

Neustadt was very upset about his defensive mistake just now, and made a lot of moves in his defense against Zhou Yi.

Duan Xin was very dissatisfied with Neustadt's approach: Such an action is already a foul, right? Shouldn't the referee protect Zhou Yi, who has just returned from injury? If he is injured a second time during the game, I'm afraid it is not a break. It will take a month to recover...

Zhou Jianliang was even more rude. He directly cursed and cursed: Fuck this turtle grandson! Damn it! Is this a fucking football game? This is a fucking kick!

Before he spoke, Zhou Yi had just been kicked to the ground by Neustadt. Although the referee Kihir sentenced Neustadt for a foul, he did not show any color sign, which made Zhou Jianliang particularly unhappy.

Fortunately, this is the home court of Schalke 04. If it had been the home court of Dortmund, the referee Kihir would have been drowned in the spit of the Dortmund fans... Of course, if this was the home court of Dortmund, maybe Kihir Wouldn't you judge it like this?

Neustadt's defense against Zhou Yi was not able to stop Dortmund's attack. Dortmund is not Zhou Yi alone, but in the past when Zhou Yi was not on the court, everyone felt a little unsure. Now that Zhou Yi is back on the court, even if he does nothing, his teammates will be more confident. Not to mention that he just completed an excellent offensive plan.

In order to share the pressure with Zhou Yi, other Dortmund players also worked hard.

Zhou Yi's performance after his appearance boosted the team's morale.

In the 20th minute, Mark personally broke through with the ball and then distributed the ball. Schmelzer made a pass and Aubameyang headed the ball in the penalty area!

The football is caught by Hildebrand.

Immediately afterwards, Dortmund made a comeback. In the 24th minute, Royce passed the ball diagonally outside the penalty area. The ball passed the Schalke 04 defenders and fell into the penalty area. Mark cleverly stepped in and fired a semi-volley from 11 meters away from the goal!

It was a high-quality shot, but Hildebrand made a great save as he turned sideways to save the ball.

The football he threw out did not roll out of the baseline or sideline, but flew into the penalty area and landed at Aubameyang's feet.

Aubameyang, who had scored a goal, was in good condition and full of confidence. Even though he was still a little far from the goal, he shot directly!

The football flies straight towards the goal!

Hildebrand had just completed a wonderful save, and at this time he showed his ability again - he also saved Aubameyang's shot!

Oh! Hildebrand!! Beautiful save! He saved consecutive shots from Dortmund players! However, during this period, Schalke 04 was obviously a little passive. After losing the ball, they were demoralized and were beaten by Dortmund. ... Marcel Leif said. It's been rare to see Dortmund like this in the past month. After taking the lead, they played very confidently and attacked in a systematic way... And what's amazing is that these attacks may not all come from Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi didn't even do anything. Participating in these attacks, the quality of Dortmund's offense has improved very obviously. So I think the importance of Zhou Yi to Dortmund is not only reflected in specific tactics, but more often, perhaps in mental support. . As long as he is on the court, his Dortmund teammates will feel at ease and can perform normally with ease. But if he is not there, everyone will not feel confident and will take the lead. I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on...

Marcel Leif's analysis has been recognized by many people. The Dortmund fans in front of the TV all think so. There are also fans on the Internet who have expressed support for Marcel Leif's conclusion.

Zhou Yi is not the captain, and he is probably not a big shot in the locker room. But even if he doesn't say anything, he still has a very important position in the team.

This important status is not earned by his endless tirade, but by his continuous efforts to save the team and help his teammates in game after game.

Therefore, although the captain of the team is Sebastian Kyle and the captain on the field is Weidenfeller, everyone knows that the spiritual pillar and tower of strength of this team is this Chinese player who is not outstanding in stature. .

※※※

Although Dortmund's offensive during this period is very fierce and threatening, after all, they know the Ruerderby, let alone the Ruerderby at Schalke 04's home court. How could Schalke 04 allow Dortmund to keep pressing? What are they fighting?

Schalke 04 also fought back.

In the 29th minute, Schalke 04 grabbed a chance on the sideline.

At that time, Grosskreutz made a mistake in controlling the ball on the sideline, giving Yang Muge a chance.

Yang Muge turned around and kicked the football that was about to qualify back to the court, and it landed right next to forward Shaoloi. Shaoloi did not stop the ball, but directly extended his foot and poked the football to the front wing.

In this game, the winger Fuchs got ahead of Hummels, raised his foot and picked the football over Hummels' head!

At the same time, he quickly turned inside, got behind Hummels, and entered the penalty area!

Fuchs! Nice breakthrough! Marcel Leif shouted.

Huge cheers rang out in the Schalke Stadium, and the Schalke 04 fans, who had been somewhat silent before, became active.

Amid huge cheers, Subotic returned to the defense and chased into the penalty area, then shoveled Fuchs...the football at his feet.

He wanted to destroy the ball at Fuchs' feet. But Fuchs moved faster than him, and used the outside instep of his right foot to flick the football toward the center!

In fact, Fuchs himself didn't know if the kick could be passed to his teammates, but he knew very well that if he didn't pass it, the ball might be destroyed.

After he passed the ball, he was tackled to the ground by Subotic!

The football flew outside the penalty area, and no Schalke 04 player received the ball.

But that's no longer important...

The referee's whistle sounded!

Penalty kick!? Penalty kick! Yes, it's a penalty kick! Marcel Leif confirmed and then became excited - this is the Ruderby!

No fouls, no penalties, what kind of Ruderby is it? !

Although the Dortmund players ran to the referee Kihir to complain, the slow motion showed clearly that Subotic did hit Fuchs after he kicked the football out, regardless of subjective will. Qi didn't rush towards someone, but he did hit Fuchs, which couldn't be run away.

So there is no problem at all in the referee awarding a penalty kick.

The Dortmund players quickly gave up their plan to besiege the referee.

Schalke 04 players hugged Fuchs in celebration.

After being one goal behind, a penalty kick was awarded, and the two sides were about to return to the same starting line. The Schalke 04 players were naturally very happy, and their confidence began to increase.

There really wasn't much to say about this penalty kick. Even Zhou Jianliang didn't complain about the referee's decision. He just stared at the TV screen nervously.

The person who stepped forward to take the penalty kick was Kevin-Prince Boateng, who spent 13 million euros to transfer from AC Milan this year.

Weidenfeller stood in front of the door. He lowered his center of gravity and stretched his hands slightly forward.

Weidenfeller has always performed well and steadily in the past few seasons. Dortmund was able to win the Champions League last season. In addition to Zhou Yi and Mark's goals, Weidenfeller's outstanding performance in front of the goal was also indispensable. of.

Marcel Leif lowered his voice and said: This is the eighth penalty Weidenfeller has faced in the Bundesliga. He saved three of the seven previous penalties. This time...

Before he finished speaking, referee Kihir blew the whistle, Boateng took a run and then shot!

This kick was very powerful, but he shot the goalkeeper's favorite half-high kick, and the angle was not very tricky!

Weidenfeller pounced to his right almost at the same time as Boateng shot, and then he blocked Boateng's shot with his hand without any suspense!

Weidenfeller——! He saved it! He saved the fourth penalty kick out of eight! Fifty percent success rate! It's amazing!
