Chapter 65 1 Ma Pingchuan

Freiburg coach Streich sat on the bench and watched the game.

He carefully studied Dortmund before the game, and also studied Zhou Yi who suddenly appeared in Dortmund this season. He was lucky that Dortmund found such a midfield playmaker. Can restrain Dortmund. There is no need to do any targeted training.

He just needs to walk on the coaching bench and watch Freiburg use their best cage to trap the beast of Dortmund.

From this ten-minute game, it can indeed be seen that Freiburg's high-position pressing made Dortmund exhausted in the midfield and the backcourt, and it was difficult to play football to the frontcourt.

This proves that the tactics are successful and effective.

The next thing is that Freiburg want to score a goal as soon as possible.

After all, no matter how much advantage you have on the scene, if it can't be converted into a goal, it's useless.

And scoring goals is precisely what Streich is most worried about.

I don't know when Freiburg's first goal will come...

※ ※ ※

In the first ten minutes, Dortmund made some attempts against Freiburg's tactics, and they found that the opponent was really pressing high and pressing very hard.

If they hadn't done targeted training a week ago, they might really be at a loss now.

But it's different now.

They have targeted training, and at the same time they have a trident.

Now is the time for a dead ball, Zhou Yi, Gotze, and Mark get together.

"How do you feel?" Zhou Yi asked the other two people.

"I feel that the 'game' in training is not as difficult to deal with." Gotze truthfully expressed his feelings.

"Uh, it's really not as difficult as I imagined..." Mark also said.

"It seems that the three of us feel similar. Our usual special training is just used to deal with them, so let them see how good we are!" Zhou Yi said. "Quick pass and run!"

"Okay!" Mark replied.

Then the three quickly separated and returned to their respective positions.

The game resumed, and the football was quickly passed to Zhou Yi.

And Zhou Yi was followed by a Freiburg defensive player.

This is Streich's tactical arrangement.

Someone must defend Zhou Yi closely so that he cannot receive and pass the ball comfortably.

But Streich must not have known that in Yebara's usual training, the two of them followed Zhou Yi closely...

So Zhou Yi, who is used to the kind of treatment in the game, now finds it really easy to follow him alone...

He didn't wait to catch the ball on the spot, but ran towards the football. The Freiburg player responsible for following him caught up with him.

Zhou Yi didn't stop the ball. The football that was directly in the future was passed sideways.

Passed to Gotze who was not far from him.

Then he turned and ran forward.

The Freiburg player who followed him had just turned around and chased after he had just run.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Gotze pass the football back to Zhou Yi who was advancing forward, so he accelerated towards Zhou Yi.

But before he got there, Zhou Yi passed the football again...he passed it to Mark who was in front.

Mark's back is facing the attacking direction, and behind him is Freiburg's central defender Solger. It's hard to turn around.

He didn't mean to turn around with the ball, but directly passed the football back to Zhou Yi.

Then he turned and ran forward.

Sorge, who was in charge of supporting him, did not follow him back, but ran forward, rushing towards Zhou Yi.

Put Mark completely behind.

He wasn't worried at all about passing the football to Mark later, or rather. He can't wait for Zhou Yi to pass it like that, because it means that Dortmund's attack will end here!

He ran forward, which was requested by the head coach. Because of Freiburg's high-position pressing tactics, their back line is often very far away from the goalkeeper, which requires them to use more offside tactics when defending.

In this way, once the opponent is anxious to fight back, it is easy to fall into Freiburg's offside trap.

With offside and a goalkeeper with a wide range of activities, Streich has made up for the weakness of high-position pressing as much as possible. From the perspective of the league, the effect is not bad.

Sure enough, when Thorge went up to grab it. Seeing Zhou Yi pass the football behind him, he raised his arm high, signaling Dortmund's No. 25 player to be offside.

But he didn't hear the referee's whistle... Looking back, the football didn't fly to the Dortmund No. 25 in the middle, but flew to the ribs, and Mario Gotze caught the ball!

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands!

Thorge was stunned-even if it was for Goetze, Goetze was offside!

※ ※ ※

Freiburg coach Streich, who has been sitting on the coaching bench, was going to see how Dortmund was trapped by the cage he prepared.

But now he saw Zhou Yi pass the football behind Thorge!

Football fell to Götze's feet!

He also thought he would hear the referee's whistle.

But no, he turned his attention to the line judge and found that the line judge did not raise the flag either. Instead, they are running!

Streich was so startled that he stood up from his seat!

The ball was...not offside!

※ ※ ※

"Strong goal, the midfielder from Dortmund, Zhou Yi's wonderful pass, not offside!" said the commentator Marcel Leif who was in charge of explaining the game.

He saw it clearly in the commentary booth. If Zhou Yi passed the football to Mark, of course it would be offside, but Gotze stepped in behind. After Mark attracted the attention of the Freiburg defender, he suddenly cut in from the wing and ran diagonally. bit. Avoid putting yourself in an offside situation.

This series of consecutive passes from the Dortmund midfielder made his eyes shine. As a commentator who usually explains the Bundesliga and Champions League games, he has seen many beautiful cooperation. In his opinion, Dortmund's offensive cooperation this time is no worse than those played by the first-team players.

These three little guys from Dortmund caught Leif's attention.

※ ※ ※

Gotze didn't hesitate after receiving the ball. Although he is not sure whether he is offside, but whether it is offside or not is a matter for the referees to decide. As long as the referee's whistle does not sound, he will keep running forward with the ball until he hits the football into the goal.

He raised his head and glanced at the front—it was endless, like a vast grassland...

What is there to hesitate about?

Let's gallop freely!

Gotze dribbles towards Freiburg's goal!

The horrified boos of the Freiburg fans in the stands were quickly drowned out by the chants of Dortmund fans.

When Gotze dribbled the ball, Freiburg goalkeeper Oliver Baumann also chose to abandon the goal.

In fact, when Zhou Yi passed the football, Bowman rushed straight out of the goal.

Regardless of whether the ball is offside or not, this is what he must do. If it is offside, it is nothing more than a false alarm. But what if it's not offside? His move may buy him a little more time. After all, wait until you see the opponent's player catch the ball before attacking, the opponent will be very calm.

Bowman's habit can effectively increase his defensive range, allowing him to clear the balls missed by the back line in time.

But this time...

Even if he strikes out in time, he is still a bit powerless...

Goetze, who received the ball, saw that Bowman chose to abandon the goal, so he directly chose to lob!

When Bowman ran near the penalty spot, Gotze took a shot!

He rubbed the football into a parabola and flew from the air to the goal.

Bowman quickly retreated, then rose into the air, raised his arms, trying to hold Gotze's lob shot out...

It's a pity that he didn't touch anything. The football shot by Gotze went over his palm and chased directly into the goal!

1:0!

Twelve minutes into the game, Dortmund U19 already took the lead in the final by one goal!

※ ※ ※

Seeing the football fly into the goal, Gotze turned and ran to the coach's bench.

Zhou Yi stood on the spot, raised his arms high, Mark turned and rushed forward, and the two hugged together.

"Good job!"

Zhou Yi wasn't too surprised by this goal. In the games simulated in the virtual system, Zhou Yi still found it difficult to deal with at first, but after getting used to the opponent's high-position press, Zhou Yi felt that entering Freiburg The ball is no problem.

There is so much space behind the opponent's defense line, even a through ball is empty...

However, scoring so early still made Zhou Yi a little unsatisfactory - the final opponent of the Youth German Cup was so unbearable...

He felt more and more that he could no longer stay in the youth team. He had to go to the first team as soon as possible. Only there could he continue to improve his strength. Otherwise, staying in the youth team would not increase his strength much.

Therefore, although he completed another assist, Zhou Yi was not too excited, far less than Gotze and Mark. He raised his arms, more like a ritual that had to be done.

But his teammates were very excited. They surrounded him and ran to the coach's bench, joined the teammates and coaches on the sidelines, and everyone celebrated together.

Originally thought that the opponent was a tough nut to crack, and this game may fall into a hard fight.

They are ready.

But who would have thought that they would take the lead after only twelve minutes into the game.

Dortmund's U19 players were completely surprised and delighted.

※ ※ ※

The Dortmund players who scored the goal were celebrating, while the Freiburg players who lost the goal surrounded the referee and protested to him.

They thought it was an offside kick and Gotze's goal should have been disallowed.

But both the referee and the linesman insisted on their own judgment.

They saw very clearly that when Dortmund's No. 23 was passing the ball, the No. 25 player was indeed offside, but Gotze was not.

The timing of the pass or the movement is just right.

So no matter whether the Freiburg players accept the reality that "Gotze is not offside", they must accept another reality, that is...they fell behind in the final!
