Champion’s Heart

When Dortmund broke through Bayern Munich's goal, it was not only the Bayern Munich players who were surprised, but also the commentators.

They thought that just like the first half, Dortmund's offense was nothing more than a desperate struggle.

Unexpectedly, the trapped beast still fights, but Dortmund, the trapped beast, really bites Bayern Munich!

They equalized the score!

The TV broadcast was replaying the previous goal.

What caught everyone's attention the most was how Zhou Yi passed the football to Royce's feet under tight defense.

He was forced by Martinez to turn around and face the attacking direction to protect the ball.

At this time, everyone, like Martinez, Boateng and others, felt that Dortmund's offense would temporarily slow down.

But just when they were thinking this, the football was suddenly passed from Zhou Yi's feet to Royce.

Because it was so sudden, there was no warning beforehand.

Most people would look up when passing the ball, but Zhou Yi was competing with Martinez the whole time and basically never looked up. How did he know that after his heel knocked the football out, his teammates would be there to respond?

The slow-motion replay did not answer everyone's questions. On the contrary, it made everyone feel even more incredible.

Because Zhou Yi really didn't observe it in slow motion, but he passed the football so firmly. If he hadn't been absolutely sure, his kick would have been no different from an irresponsible pass. It was simply giving possession of the ball to someone else.

But Zhou Yi really passed the football to Royce's feet, and Royce really ran into the space to catch the ball.

Zhou Yi's pass... was so whimsical! And it was successful! No one knows whether he was fooled or did it on purpose... It's not important. What's important is that because of his assist, Dortmund equalized the score!

The TV broadcast took the time to give Guardiola a close-up shot. In the shot, Guardiola was in disbelief at the fact that Dortmund equalized the score.

But in fact, it was not Royce's goal that made him look incredulous, but Zhou Yi's pass.

That ball was quite difficult to pass.

Guardiola used to be the head coach of Barcelona.

Barcelona also has no shortage of passing masters. Whether it is Xavi or Iniesta, they pass the ball very well.

So Guardiola will naturally compare the players he has worked with with Zhou Yi, and then find that Zhou Yi's passing ability has even surpassed Xavi and Iniesta... You must know that Zhou Yi is only 22 years old this year. With such strength and achievements at such a young age, as long as he is not troubled by injuries in the future, there is simply no limit to what he can do...

Guardiola only found out later that Zhou Yi came to Barcelona to participate in the youth team competition and was valued by La Masia. What would have happened if he had known about this right away? Unless Guardiola knows Zhou Yi's future achievements, I'm afraid nothing will change.

A sixteen-year-old boy who has never received any professional football training actually wants the club to guarantee a chance to play in the first team in the future... He is thinking too far. Even Guardiola cannot agree to this condition. Messi has never enjoyed such treatment!

Besides, even if he is allowed to join the first team, how can he compete with Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets? Later, Barcelona was interested in Zhou Yi because Xavi was old and wanted to find a successor for Xavi.

However, until Guardiola left Barcelona, ​​Xavi had not found a suitable successor and could only continue to shine.

Then, Guardiola came to Bayern Munich and once again became an opponent of Zhou Yi.

Reus' goal allowed Dortmund to equalize the score and boost the morale of the Dortmund players.

In the first half, they besieged Bayern Munich for more than ten minutes without scoring a goal, which made many players doubt the effectiveness of this tactic.

In the second half, using the same tactics, they scored a goal, and the players' confidence in the tactics came back immediately.

So when the game started again, Dortmund players continued to launch a fierce attack on Bayern Munich's goal.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, their offense really threatened Bayern Munich's goal.

Faced with such a severe situation, Guardiola plans to make adjustments.

He asked assistant coach Hermann Grande to talk to Gotze.

Gotze knew that he was about to play. He looked at Guardiola, thinking that his idol would chat with him and give him instructions. But Guardiola didn't do that. He stood on the sidelines with his back to Gotze, paying close attention to the situation on the court.

The specific tactical arrangements were handed over to Tiger Herman Grande.

The white-haired old coach Hermann looked at Gotze and focused his eyes on Guardiola, so he coughed to remind Gotze to regain his consciousness.

Hearing his cough, Gotze withdrew his gaze.

Herman took the tactical board and said to him: I know this game has a different meaning to you, Mario. But you still have to concentrate on the game after playing. Your task is very heavy...

When Hermann finished the tactical arrangements, he took Gotze to the sidelines and arranged for him to come on as a substitute.

Seeing Gotze standing next to the fourth official, everyone realized that he was going to play.

So there was a huge booing above the Westfield Stadium. Let the players from both sides who are fighting on the court be stranded.

Zhou Yi passed the football with one kick, then turned to look at the sidelines. He saw Gotze standing there, wearing Bayern Munich's red jersey.

Gotze in the red jersey is really uncomfortable... Duan Xin said with emotion.

In the past when commentating on Dortmund games, Gotze always wore a yellow and black jersey. Dortmund did not have a red color scheme whether it was home or away, or the second away jersey. So the current Gotze is indeed a bit unfamiliar.

The boos were so loud that I could hardly hear my own voice! Marcel Leif said, raising his voice. This is the 'gift' carefully prepared by the Dortmund fans for Gotze! The former Dortmund hero has now returned to the West ** Stadium, but has become a Judas in the eyes of Dortmund fans. It is really embarrassing... I don't know how to do this... In an unfriendly environment, what kind of performance can Gotze perform as a substitute?

When a dead ball situation occurred on the field, the fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines.

Gotze is about to come on, and he will be replaced by another former Dortmund player, center Lewandowski.

Lewandowski missed several opportunities in this game and his performance was not very good. I don’t know if he was affected by the unfriendly atmosphere...

When Lewandowski picked up the ball on the pitch, boos could also be heard directed at him. Although when he left Dortmund this summer, it was the Dortmund club that was even more unreasonable. But die-hard fans are very magical creatures. They often don't care about right and wrong, and they care more about not harming the interests of the club they support. Lewandowski's approach offended them.

Lewandowski thought that he should be unpopular at the West End Stadium, but when he was replaced by Gotze, he realized how wrong his previous thinking was...

The overwhelming boos came towards them like a huge wave. Such terrible boos were something he had never felt at all during the time he played in the game.

Compared with the boos Gotze experienced, his own boos suddenly seemed to scratch his itch.

When he played for Dortmund before, he was proud and excited about the enthusiasm and support of the Dortmund fans. But now, after changing their identities, the enthusiasm of Dortmund fans has become a headache for them...

Gotze ran onto the field in the face of huge boos. He seemed calm and unaffected by the boos.

But who knows if he is forcing himself to be calm?

Those neutrals cast pity on Gotze. They took it for granted that anyone playing in such an environment would be under great pressure and must be pitiful and worthy of sympathy.

They thought Gotze was just an ordinary transfer, just like a company employee changing jobs. He made his own choice and shouldn't be treated like this.

Many people online criticized Dortmund fans for being too narrow-minded. When they booed Gotze, they completely forgot that they had also cheered for Gotze. Their contradictory approach is a profound irony.

Unlike those fans who lament Gotze's fate, professional commentators are now more concerned about replacing Lewandowski with Gotze. After replacing Bayern Munich, they have no real center at all. How will they break Dortmund? Where's the goal?

Is it possible that Guardiola wants to play a strikerless tactic at Bayern Munich?

This is really Guardiola's style...
