Chapter 305 Finally Coming on Stage

"Mark! Mark! Beautiful spoon penalty! He equalized the score again for Dortmund! This is also his eighteenth league goal this season! He tied Lewandowski, two people in the league They are neck and neck on the scorer list!”

The voice of announcer Marmarcell Leif came from the television.

Silence fell again in Guardiola's room.

It took a while before someone said: "Well, a draw would be a good result for us too..."

Because Dortmund was originally only one point ahead of Bayern Munich, if Dortmund's game is a draw, then Bayern Munich, which wins, will overtake Dortmund again, leading Dortmund by one point and becoming first in the league.

With only two rounds left in the league, even if Bayern Munich is only one point ahead, it is impossible to lose the league championship again.

On the TV, Marcel Leif was still saying: "...I think Lewandowski would be very unhappy if he knew the news, because in the just-concluded game against Werder Bremen, he But he was put on the bench by Guardiola. Bayern Munich scored five goals in that game, but it had nothing to do with him..."

When Mark kicked the penalty kick into the goal, Dortmund's bench and coaching bench were once again jubilant.

"Being behind twice and equalizing twice, Dortmund performed very tenaciously in this game! Although Zhou Yi did not start, Dortmund's fighting spirit has not been weakened..." Duan Xin was also happy with Dortmund's performance.

As a Chinese commentator, he certainly hopes that Zhou Yi can get enough rest and that Dortmund can win the game. It is best that Zhou Yi does not need to play in this game...

Mark ended his celebration. As he walked back, he turned to look at the bench. He saw Zhou Yi and waved his fist at him.

Zhou Yi naturally saw Mark's action, and he responded with a thumbs up.

Mark was asking for credit from Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi gave him a thumbs up to praise him.

The two friends just communicated through the air with tacit understanding.

※※※

Dortmund's equalizer boosted their morale, and in the 40th minute, Mkhitaryan almost helped his team overtake the score.

At that time, Mkhitaryan successfully stole the ball in the frontcourt.

Got a chance for a one-on-one shot, but Leno struck out in time to block his shot from the bottom line.

Not long after, the first half of the game was over.

"...The first half is over! Leverkusen temporarily tied with Dortmund at home at 2:2!" Marcel Leif said. "When Wolfsburg was tied 2:2 by Freiburg at home, Leverkusen had a good opportunity to consolidate their fourth place in the league, but now they have a draw with Dortmund. For this draw I'm afraid both teams are dissatisfied. So there will definitely be changes and adjustments in the second half. What we are most concerned about is...will Klopp let Zhou Yi play during the halftime break?"

Perhaps many Chinese fans hope that Zhou Yi can play early, but Klopp has no intention of doing so.

During the halftime break, he praised all the players in the locker room and thought they performed very well, especially after falling behind twice and quickly equalizing the score.

Klopp encouraged his players to keep up their efforts in the second half and strive to win against their opponents.

On the other side, Leverkusen coach Sasha Lewandowski is also encouraging his players to fight Dortmund in the second half.

※※※

After the second half started, neither team made any personnel adjustments. Zhou Yi was still sitting on the bench and was not substituted.

This makes many Chinese fans feel disappointed and worried.

Of course I was disappointed that I couldn't watch Zhou Yi's game, but I was worried that it was too dangerous for Klopp to play with fire. He didn't even let Zhou Yi play in the second half, leaving him not enough time. If anything happens by then, I would like to I'm afraid he is powerless to ask Zhou Yi to turn the tide...

After the second half of the game started, the two sides continued to tremble together.

In the 47th minute, Mark kicked down Spasic and received a yellow card. In the 52nd minute, Spasic also received a yellow card for fouling Mark.

In the 54th minute, Son Heung-min shot a long shot from 25 meters away from the goal, and the football was confiscated by Weidenfeller. Four minutes later, in the 60th minute, Son Heung-min took another long shot from 20 meters away from the goal. As a result, the football missed the goal post...

As the game approaches sixty minutes, Dortmund and Leverkusen are still entangled, and the situation is still unclear.

At this time, Klopp finally decided to make the first substitution adjustment.

He asked assistant coach Buvac to call Zhou Yi back.

Zhou Yi was called to warm up a few minutes ago, but he did not go alone, but with other substitute players.

This kind of warm-up has no special significance. It is just to prevent the substitute players from having poor blood circulation and getting cold after sitting on the bench for a long time.

At the same time, this kind of warm-up is of course also to be ready to come on as a substitute. When he needs to be substituted, he no longer needs to warm up.

Such as this time.

Zhou Yi was quickly called back, and the TV broadcast captured the scene immediately.

Marcel Leif immediately said excitedly: "Hey! It looks like Dortmund is going to make a substitution! Klopp can't hold his breath. If he wants to change the situation on the field at this time, of course the first person he can think of is It’s Zhou Yi! After resting for half the game, Zhou Yi will come on as a substitute! Can his appearance change the current situation of the game between the two sides? "

Duan Xin was also very excited: "Zhou Yi is about to play. Whenever Dortmund encounters difficulties, Zhou Yi is the one who will have high hopes. But there are not many times when he comes off the bench to save the team like this, because most of them At that time, Zhou Yi was always the starter..."

※※※

When Zhou Yi stood on the sidelines and listened to assistant coach Buvac assigning tasks to himself, players on both sides of the court also noticed him.

When the Dortmund players saw that Zhou Yi was about to play, they felt a little regretful - they still could not defeat this opponent without Zhou Yi.

The Leverkusen players were a little nervous.

They stepped up their offensive, hoping to rewrite the score before Zhou Yi came on the court and turn the raw rice into cooked rice. Even if Zhou Yi comes on the court by then, I believe there will be nothing he can do against Leverkusen's shrinking defense.

Facing Leverkusen's fierce attack, how could the Dortmund players not know what they were thinking?

At this time, of course, we must try our best to prevent them from scoring goals.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi didn't have to warm up now, which saved a lot of time.

Buvac didn't have that many tactical details to explain to him.

Soon, Zhou Yi appeared on the sidelines, ready to be replaced.

At this time, the football just fell to the feet of Dortmund player Yan Min. He directly kicked the football to the left side of the front court with a big kick. After the football landed, it flew out of the sideline. The game entered a dead ball state and Dortmund could make substitutions.

"Dortmund makes substitutions! Number 23 Zhou Yi comes on, number 10 Mkhitaryan goes off!"

The fourth official raised a substitution sign on the sidelines, and the referee also signaled that substitutions could be made.

"Zhouyi is still on board..."

Someone in Guardiola's room let out a sigh.

If possible, they hope Zhouyi will not play in this game. Although Zhouyi's appearance may not necessarily help Dortmund win, it will at least increase Dortmund's chances of winning.

"There are still thirty minutes left, which is not a lot of time left for him..."

As for Zhou Yi's ability, as Dortmund's rival, Bayern Munich's coaches usually study him a lot, so they naturally know it very well.

They all know what it means for Zhou Yi to play.

He definitely didn't go up there to warm up.

※※※

Mkhitaryan was replaced and he hugged Zhou Yi on the sidelines.

After moving to Dortmund this season, he only became the team's starter for more than a month when Zhou Yi was injured, and was Zhou Yi's substitute at other times.

But now he has no temper for being a substitute.

Being Zhou Yi's substitute is not a shameful thing, and it is also a shameless thing. Zhou Yi's performance was so good that he not only convinced his opponents, but also convinced Mkhitaryan, a competitor in the team.

Of course, Klopp did not forget to pat Mkhitaryan on the shoulder and praise his performance.

After Zhou Yi came on the field, he made a gesture of pressing down with both hands to his teammates, indicating to his teammates not to be anxious and to be steady.

Although everyone is not satisfied with the draw, if we must accept this result, Leverkusen is obviously more acceptable than Dortmund.

If things go wrong, Leverkusen can shrink back and play defensive counterattack.

Anyway, Wolfsburg was tied by Freiburg, which allowed Leverkusen to get a draw without affecting their ranking.

However, Dortmund cannot accept a draw. If this game is tied, they will be surpassed by Bayern Munich.

So Dortmund must win.

If Leverkusen knew this, they would know how to deal with Dortmund.

Zhou Yi does not want the team to be eager to attack and allow Leverkusen to seize the opportunity to counterattack - Son Heung-min is very active in counterattacks and has threatened Dortmund's goal many times.

The score is now 2:2. Zhouyi does not need Dortmund to launch an indiscriminate offensive against Leverkusen's goal. In this case, there is no need to pay attention to the quantity of the attack, but the quality of the attack.

Just one goal was needed.

There were thirty minutes left in the game, enough to score a goal, so there was no need to rush.
