Chapter 255 Bad Luck Comes Again

Dortmund really picked up the pace from the beginning of the game.

This is completely opposite and completely different from the first round when they were unable to enter the game.

Dortmund had a chance in the first four minutes. At that time, Royce made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Mark grabbed the ball from the front point and shot. As a result, PSG's Brazilian center back Thiago Silva used his body to block the goal.

Then a corner kick was taken, and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sirigu punched the football out.

The football fell to the outside, and Sven Bender followed up with a long shot, but the football was played high...

Then Paris Saint-Germain launched an attack and the football was passed to He Ying's feet.

As soon as He Ying took the ball, Yan Min slammed into it.

If He Ying hadn't been physically fit enough, Yan Min might have been knocked to the ground this time.

But even so, He Ying staggered and needed to readjust his football. He was unable to take advantage of the situation and attack Dortmund's defense with the ball.

Paris Saint-Germain lost the opportunity to play fast break.

He Yingzhihao stabilized the football and then passed the ball out.

Then he looked back at Yan Min.

This person should be considered his back-up, but he was promoted very quickly in Dortmund, just like riding on the Rockets, and now he is considered a main player in the national team.

He and Yan Min only had contact with the national team.

However, I have heard Zhou Yi talk about this person in private, and I know that he is a person with high fighting spirit and seems to be easily immune to attacks.

So energetic...

From this collision, He Ying can be seen.

He remembered that in the last game, Yan Min mainly played on the left wing, right?

Today I switched to the right wing...Is this specifically to deal with myself?

In the ninth minute, Dortmund once again got a good offensive opportunity.

Zhou Yi made a long diagonal pass and transferred the football to Royce.

In this game, Yan Min has a heavier task in defense, so Dortmund mainly plays Royce's side offensively.

Royce also lived up to the team's trust in him.

After getting the ball, he took a feint and then suddenly waded the football into the penalty area.

Then he took a shot directly!

The football was touched by Ya Lai who was returning to defense. He changed the line and passed goalkeeper Siligu, but also crossed the crossbar...

"Oh! It's so dangerous!" The French commentator let out a sigh of relief. "Since the start of the game, Dortmund's offensive has been very fierce. Paris Saint-Germain can only passively defend. This is not going to work..."

Marcel Leif praised Reus's state: "Judging from the few attacks since the start of the game, we can see that Reus's state should be very good today. His activity is definitely a blessing for Dortmund." Good news. Such a fierce offensive depends on offensive players like Royce..."

Reus's outstanding performance really made Paris Saint-Germain dangerous in front of the goal, and also excited the Dortmund fans, who sang the song dedicated to Reus.

I hope Royce can help the team attack the city in their cheers.

But just when everyone was looking forward to it, an accident happened on the court!

In the seventeenth minute, Royce broke through with the ball from the wing. He accelerated, opened the space, and passed the football to the goal.

This was originally a very ordinary action, and everyone's attention shifted to the center along with the football.

Mark did not hit the ball in front of the goal, and the ball was pushed out of the baseline by Thiago Silva who was returning to defense.

The next step should be a corner kick, right?

No.

Zhou Yidong looked around and saw Royce suddenly sitting on the ground, covering his calf, frowning, and raising his hand.

Zhou Yi immediately realized that there must be something wrong with Royce's body.

So he quickly signaled to the referee and reminded the referee to look at Royce's position.

After hearing his reminder, the referee also discovered this situation.

So he blew the whistle to pause the game, indicating not to take the corner kick yet. Then he ran towards Royce, lowered his head and asked about Royce's situation.

"Well... Royce suddenly sat down on the ground after making the pass. Looking at the way he was rubbing his calf... could it be that he had a strained calf muscle?" Marcel Leif said worriedly.

The West ** Stadium, which had been extremely lively before, also became quiet. Many Dortmund fans looked at each other and then looked at the stadium with concern.

Klopp also looked very nervous. He jumped out of his seat and rushed to the sideline. If he hadn't been a team doctor, he would have wanted to rush onto the field right now, run to Royce on the other side, and ask him what was wrong.

At this time, Dortmund's team doctor Dr. Braun and his assistant Cortana had already ran onto the field.

This isn't the first time Cortana has appeared in a game.

I still remember that when Cortana first appeared in the game, various commentators introduced whether she was Zhou Yi's girlfriend or Mark Wagner's sister. Zhou Yi once stayed at Mark's home for a year. Maybe the two of them were together. That's when sparks flew...

The introduction is very detailed, which fully shows that even sports commentators have a gossipy mind like an entertainment reporter.

Cortana is often seen at games, sometimes running onto the court with Dr. Braun like this to assist him in examining and treating players. But most of the time she just sits on the coaching bench, and close-ups will take care of her from time to time. Who made her look beautiful? It is also a beautiful scenery on the sidelines of the competition...

However, every time the camera scanned, the commentator would not say anything. At most, he would say "Cortana, Zhou Yi's girlfriend" to the audience who may be watching a Dortmund game for the first time.

As for more information, I won’t say much.

Because there is no point in talking about those gossips over and over again.

After Braun came on the field, he asked Royce about the specific situation, and Royce gave the answer: "Calf muscle pain..."

Braun frowned and felt that it was most likely a muscle strain.

The same problem as Ibrahimovic in the last game.

This game should definitely not last.

So he asked Cortana to make a substitution gesture to the sidelines.

"Ah, the Dortmund team doctor made a substitution gesture... Dortmund wants to make a substitution! Royce can't hold on anymore..."

"No player in Dortmund has been injured for a while. Everyone seems to think that Dortmund has finally turned a corner... Now it seems that injuries have not let Dortmund go..."

"I don't know the extent of Royce's injury. I guess it's a muscle strain. Then based on Ibrahimovic's situation, he may have to miss four games. With only five rounds left in the league, this It's no different than being reimbursed for the season. What's especially terrible is that the next game is Dortmund's game against Bayern Munich, and Royce is likely to miss that game. That is the biggest bad news for Dortmund..."

"Reus' performance this season has been outstanding. After Gotze and Lewandowski both left the team, he continued to create threats on the wing and helped the team win. He is a key player in Dortmund's attacking lineup. An indispensable force..."

Commentators felt sorry for Dortmund and Reus.

Let’s not talk about the game against Bayern Munich, let’s talk about the current one. When Dortmund needed a goal, Reus came off due to injury in the first 18 minutes. This is definitely a heavy blow to Dortmund’s offensive strength. of blow.

What to do next?

Many people are worried about this.

※※※

Soon, Royce stood up from the ground with Braun's help, then tried to take two steps and shook his head at Dr. Braun.

So Dr. Braun helped him and walked to the sidelines together.

At the same time, Dortmund assistant coach Buvac is assigning tasks to Nouri Sahin who is about to play.

Since Kuba was also injured, Dortmund basically has no backup force on the wing. Originally Grosskreutz could also play this position, but in this game he has already played as Piszczek's right back, so it is naturally impossible for him to play as a right midfielder again. It can be said that there is no wide player on the bench.

Therefore, Klopp can only make a big move within the existing lineup.

He put Shaheen on the field and added a defensive midfielder who seemed to be completely unrelated to Royce's position.

But what this does is allow Aubameyang to go wide.

When Aubameyang first came to Dortmund, he did play on the wing. However, as Yan Min's performance got better and better and he took up the main position, it was impossible for Aubameyang, who also performed well, to be a substitute. Have a seat? So Klopp asked Aubameyang to play forward and partner with Mark. In this way, Dortmund changed from 4231 to 442.

Now, it's just a return to the previous formation.

If Shaheen and Sven Bender play as a defensive midfielder together, Zhou Yi will be pushed up and become an attacking midfielder closer to the opponent's goal and penalty area.

This position is no stranger to Zhou Yi. Before Shinji Kagawa came, he had always played in this position. Later, after Shinji Kagawa left, he also returned to the midfielder position. If Yan Min hadn't performed well, he wouldn't have partnered with Sven Bender to play as a defensive midfielder.

※※※

As Royce limped off, Shaheen ran onto the court from the other side.

He called his teammate Aubameyang's name and then made a gesture for him to go to the wing. Aubameyang knew what was going on.

"Reus was replaced by Shaheen due to injury, and Klopp replaced him with a defensive midfielder. It seems that even the team's formation needs to be adjusted..."

"I don't know now whether Royce's injury will be a turning point that affects the final result of the game, but if it is, it must be turning in a direction that is not conducive to Dortmund..."

Commentators have expressed their concerns about Dortmund's future and fate.
