Chapter 66 Misunderstanding

Zhou Yi did not pass the football forward, but chose to pass it back. Who is the most disappointed person?

Of course, Mainz coach Tuchel sitting on the sidelines.

He was waiting for the rabbit to crash and die on the stump.

Unexpectedly, before he was about to hit a tree stump, Zhou Yi suddenly braked suddenly, turned around and passed the football back.

Tuchel was very surprised, and then he saw Zhou Yi keep passing the ball back, and even the whole person ran back, he understood it—the opponent saw his tactical intention.

But what if you see it?

Tuchel sat on the coach's bench without even moving his butt.

Even if they can see it, don't they still have to face their own iron bucket formation, can they score goals if they keep passing back?

Dortmund escaped this time, but there are still 90 minutes in the game. He doesn't believe that in these 90 minutes, Dortmund can have such good luck every time.

As long as they are patient, Mainz can always seize their opportunities.

It just took a little longer than expected.

※※※

Zhou Yi also tried to catch the ball in the frontcourt, but he was always accompanied by someone. It was difficult for him to turn around and organize an attack when the opponent was defending close to him or densely defending. Can only choose to pass back.

Zhou Yi felt that it was meaningless to always pass the ball back and forth with his teammates in the frontcourt, so he simply ran back, kept running, and ran to the position of the midfielder, directly facing his central defenders.

The opponent's personal defensive player did not keep up.

Dense defense is very particular about the integrity of the defensive formation. In this system, everyone must be in their proper position, otherwise there will be loopholes.

Those who defended Zhou Yi did not dare to follow Zhou Yi all the way up, because they were afraid that they would be taken out of his position, causing a loophole in the defense.

So Zhou Yi now has an environment where he can easily control the ball and turn around.

But at the same time, he was farther away from Mainz's goal. And the farther away from the goal, the lesser the threat. This not only applies to forwards, but also to Zhou Yi now.

Zhou Yi controlled the football at his feet. Looking at the goal in the distance, an idea popped into my mind—maybe I should practice long passes...

Before that, his training focus has always been on short and medium distance passes. He has practiced the most and passed the best in five-meter, ten-meter, and fifteen-meter passes. But a long pass over 25 meters. He rarely practiced at ordinary times, because he rarely used it in the game.

His playing style is to run while passing the ball. He will always run into the open space to catch and pass the ball. He is surrounded by his teammates, and the passing distance does not need to be too long. If he wants to transfer football laterally. It's not just kicking the football with a big foot, but passing it to a nearby teammate, running to the next open space to catch the ball, then passing it to the teammate in front, and then running, through such continuous passing and running. Horizontal transfer.

This kind of transfer speed is of course not as fast as a direct long pass transfer, but Zhou Yi can guarantee the accuracy and the football is always within a controllable range. In the process of this lateral transfer, if you find that the opponent's defense is free, you can immediately change the cross pass to a through pass. Football is like a sharp knife, piercing the opponent's heart.

So Zhou Yi never thought about practicing long passes,

He felt that he hadn't perfected his short-to-medium-distance passing, so what else should he consider? His energy and time are also limited.

But now, Zhou Yi especially hopes that he has a long pass that is as accurate as a cruise missile.

He tried a pass, trying to pass the football directly to Kinchek from behind, but the pass missed and the ball was cut off by the opponent's defender.

Zhou Yi immediately decided not to attempt a long pass in this game, otherwise he would hand over the football to the opponent again and again. The morale on his side was blown again and again. The long pass will be discussed later after practice, but now I still have to go up.

When Dortmund scored a goal, Zhou Yi cooperated with his teammates to send the football to the front, passing through the midfield. There was little resistance.

Once they reach the opponent's 30-meter area, they can immediately feel the pressure brought by Mainz's intensive defense.

Zhou Yi chose to make a cross pass. Just as he passed the football, the person on the other side who was in charge of closely guarding him leaned forward. After Zhou Yi passed the ball, he didn't stay where he was, but ran to the next receiving point.

He kept turning his head and looking around while running, observing the situation. Looking for space to pass the ball.

Mark is not idle either, he is also looking for vacancy.

But after running all the way, the two people felt the same-Mainz really played the intensive defense to the extreme this time, but they didn't find a chance to pass the ball and run!

Their defensive formation remains very complete. If one place moves, the entire defensive line follows suit. Step in step and cooperate seamlessly.

This kind of performance is easy to remind people of Mainz in the past-they have gained a foothold in the U19 league with good defense.

After Tuchel came, the team held high the banner of offense, so that people forget that they actually have defensive genes. And now Tuchel just got Mainz back to what they are good at...

But this change is really surprising. Who would have thought that Mainz, who had been playing well in offense before, would turn around a hundred and eighty degrees and play intensive defense?

Zhou Yi couldn't find an opportunity to pass the ball forward. He could only run horizontally and vertically continuously, and then passed back and forth with his teammates in the process. Under the control of my side.

Sometimes, Zhou Yi would directly pass the football back to the back line, and then run back himself, back and forth with the backs.

And the Mainz players were really calm. Watching Dortmund back and forth in the backcourt, their players just didn't come up.

Such a game is not a good one, so the Dortmund fans booed in the stands.

But their booing failed to make Mainz take a step across the halfway line.

This may be the characteristic of German football, which emphasizes discipline, so even U19 players can obey orders on the court.

This kind of tactical discipline may not be often seen in the first team, but it appeared in this game. This is indeed a severe test for the young people of Dortmund U19. If they lose their composure before their opponents and start to play casually regardless, the number of mistakes will increase, and then Mainz's defensive counterattacks will be accurate.

Borussia Dortmund's coach Yebala has been standing on the sidelines to watch the game. He was very worried in his heart, but there was nothing he could do right now.

The only thing he can be thankful for is that Dortmund's rhythm is controlled by Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi is still very calm and has no intention of panicking.

Look at the Mainz players not coming up. He was not in a hurry either, and was still passing the ball back and forth in the backcourt, without any intention of playing the football forward.

※※※

In the eyes of outsiders, Dortmund only knows how to play in the backcourt. This is not Dortmund's style of play. But now Zhou Yi is in control of the rhythm of the team, so if Zhou Yi wants to play like this, other Dortmund players have to cooperate with him. But such an approach is meaningless.

But in fact, Zhou Yi's mind was not idle when he was falling in the backcourt, and he was always thinking about how to break the deadlock.

He has considered all kinds of passing methods. Except for the long pass, which he obviously cannot do now, other methods have been killed in his mind.

Is it all right?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhou Yi's mind, and he thought of a place that he had always ignored.

Why obsess over passing the ball?

As long as you can win, isn't passing and shooting the same?

He felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking mode before, always thinking about how to pass the ball and how to instigate an attack. Finally assists teammates to score.

But I can also score myself!

I'm a striker!

Thinking of this, when the football was passed to Zhou Yi's feet again, instead of continuing to pass the ball back, he suddenly turned around and passed it forward.

Schurrle, who had been a little impatient with Dortmund's seemingly endless backcourt, was about to come up and break Dortmund's backcourt, but Zhou Yi turned around and passed him, letting him I missed it.

Once Zhou Yi passes the football forward, Dortmund will play fast pass and run.

It's just that they will definitely stop in front of each other's 30-meter area.

Mainz didn't take Dortmund's offense too seriously, anyway, they just retreated to their own defense.

When they hit the 30-meter area of ​​Mainz, Dortmund's attack really slowed down.

Gotze has pulled to the left to get the ball. Zhou Yi passed the football to him, and he didn't have a good way to get in. If he dribbled the ball and broke through, the probability of failure was very high.

So he passed the football back to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi didn't catch the ball. He just made a catch and let the ball go between his legs.

Then he turned and the football had rolled towards Mark.

Mark also pulled out of the restricted area. He didn't have a fixed position, and he didn't say that he must be in the restricted area.

The football rolled towards Mark, and Zhou Yi also accelerated towards Mark.

Mark while catching the ball. Zhou Yi ran to his side, and had no intention of stopping, and continued to run forward.

When running past Mark, he didn't wink or gesture to Mark, nor did he make a sound to remind Mark.

But Mark knew what to do. He knocked the football behind him with his heel, and it just passed to the front of Zhou Yi's running!

Zhou Yi suddenly accelerated to chase the football. This acceleration was so sudden that the Mainz players who followed him were a little unexpected-before Zhou Yi always ran slowly and leisurely, and rarely accelerated suddenly. The marking players who were used to his previous running rhythm naturally also maintained a slow running speed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi sped up and threw him away.

Zhou Yi, who got rid of the defensive player, faced the football knocked by Mark, and swung his right foot directly!

At the front of the penalty area, he chose a long shot!

Boom!

Zhou Yi's straight instep hit the football hard, and the football flew towards the goal.

This long-range shot was very sudden, and the goalkeeper of Mainz was a little caught off guard. He jumped a beat late to catch the ball, so he couldn't catch the football. He could only watch the football...fly into the goal!

Ten minutes into the game, Dortmund took the lead!

PS, there is something I must tell everyone.

Because there are only six chapters in the archived manuscripts, and the annual meeting I will be attending in Shanghai from today to the 7th, the time for coding is not fixed or guaranteed, so in order not to run out of archived manuscripts, the update will be interrupted.

For the next period of time, I can only update once a day.

I will be able to resume the rhythm of two updates a day when my manuscripts are restored to more than ten chapters.

In fact, I don’t want to do this, but there are too few manuscripts saved, and I feel very panic. In order not to let the problem of saving manuscripts disrupt my writing rhythm, I have no choice but to do so...

I'm so sorry!
