Chapter 123 Tangled Vidal
After the start of the second half of the game, Vidal still followed Zhou Yi closely and did not give Zhou Yi a chance.
During the intermission, Heynckes specifically praised Vidal. I think his restriction on Zhou Yi at the end of the first half was very successful. Let him continue to play like this in the second half.
As long as Zhou Yi can be restrained, Dortmund's offensive threat will be greatly reduced.
Zhou Yi saw that Vidal was still following him as before the end of the first half, so he simply stayed in the midfielder position and didn't go forward much.
And Vidal still followed him, and didn't mean to retreat.
Zhou Yi also turned his head to look at Vidal strangely, and asked him, "Why are you following me?"
Vidal felt that Zhou Yi asked this question very stupidly, did I let you run away if I didn't follow you?
He didn't bother to answer such a stupid question, so he just snorted and didn't speak.
"I advise you to go back to your own position." Zhou Yi still said.
Vidal was about to laugh. He had never seen such an idiot. Do you think you can be fooled by just saying a few words?
It's a fool to go back!
Seeing that Vidal was unmoved, Zhou Yi spread his hands: "I'm doing this for your own good, since you don't accept it... okay."
Vidal looked at Zhou Yi sympathetically with a neurotic look.
I think this kid must have a problem with his brain, why is there so much nonsense?
※※※
Because Zhou Yi was pegged by Vidal, Dortmund's offensive threat during this period was not so great. On the contrary, Leverkusen took advantage of this opportunity to increase their offensive.
Ten minutes into the second half. They have completed three shots. One of those shots forced Weidenfeller into a brilliant save.
The few Leverkusen fans in the stands were very excited. They thought the goal was not far ahead, and they would come back soon!
Leverkusen's third shot was created by Ballack. He shot a cold arrow at the front of the penalty area, and the football went out. Although it didn't go in, it also shocked many Dortmund fans into a cold sweat.
The ball boy threw the football in. Weidenfeller prepares for goal kick,
But he saw Zhou Yi standing outside the penalty area and gesturing at him, which meant to ask Weidenfeller to pass the football to him.
Weidenfeller originally planned to kick the football directly to the frontcourt, but since Zhou Yi took the initiative to ask for the ball...Of course Weidenfeller believed in Zhou Yi. It must be his idea to ask for the ball so actively.
So he pretended to have a big foot, and after several run-ups. But he passed the football directly to Zhou Yi.
When Zhou Yi received the ball, his back was facing the attacker first. He used the outer instep of his right foot to pass the football horizontally to the left back Schmelzer.
Then he turned and ran forward, waving to his partner in the midfielder, Sven Bender, and shouted: "Forward, Sven! Forward!"
Then he turned to Schmelzer for the ball.
Vidal continued to follow him, unmoved. After Schmelzer passed the football over. He also rushed towards Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi stopped when he was catching the ball, his legs were in a horse stance, his body center of gravity was lowered, and he abruptly withstood Vidal's body collision.
Although his body swayed and his footsteps were a little staggered, he still protected the football. Then he quickly passed the football to Sven Bender who advanced forward.
Then he just stood there and didn't move forward, as if what happened next had nothing to do with him. At the same time, he turned his head and asked Vidal beside him: "Are you sure you don't want to go back?"
Vidal acted as if he hadn't heard it.
Zhou Yi pouted, and cast his eyes on Sven Bender.
When Sven Bender suddenly advanced, Shinji Kagawa also retreated slightly from the front midfielder to meet him. Bender passed the football to Kagawa. Did not stop, but continued to run forward.
This run made Leverkusen suddenly uncomfortable.
Because there are only so many people in their midfield, everyone has their own defensive tasks, and Gotze and Gross Kreutz are not vegetarians.
Ballack sits in the middle and wants to contain Shinji Kagawa, so now that Sven Bender suddenly advances, he is left unmarked.
And he is now very close to Leverkusen's penalty area!
This scene is really embarrassing for Leverkusen. Should we defend him or not?
Zhou Yi also glanced at Vidal next to him. It could be seen that Vidal didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. Who would have thought that Zhou Yi was dragged behind, and it was the engineer Sven Bender who rushed forward instead? !
Seeing that Sven Bender was unmarked, Shinji Kagawa also passed the football to him.
When the football rolled towards Sven Bender, there was still no one to defend him. Leverkusen's defense is now in a brief chaos. Who should defend this sudden appearance of Sven Bender? If I go to defend him, then who will help me defend the target I was originally responsible for marking?
If this problem is not clear, everyone dare not go up easily.
Seeing that no one came up to defend him for a while, Sven Bender simply shot a long shot about 30 meters away from the goal!
"Sven Bender shoots from a distance!!"
Accompanied by Marcel Leff's loud roar, the football, like a fired shell, smashed through the dense rain line in the air and flew towards the goal.
Leverkusen's goalkeeper Adler saw Sven Bender suddenly kicked and shot, and quickly jumped sideways.
Sven Bender's shot was very sudden, and the football would become heavy and slippery after it got wet, making it more difficult to save, so Adler didn't dare to neglect.
We must know that in the rain battle, the scoring rate of long-range shots is very high...
He pounced on the football, but he couldn't hold it in his arms, he could only lift the football out of the crossbar with one palm!
"Adler! Great ball! Great save!" Marcel Leif shouted. "Sven Bender shoots very well, too!"
There was a huge exclamation from the stands, and it was a pity that Sven Bender missed the goal.
Sven Bender himself regretted that the goal had not been scored. He thinks he feels good when he shoots. He is actually not the kind of midfielder who is good at scoring goals from the back. He is an honest defensive midfielder, so his number of goals is very, very low.
So far, he has only scored one goal in his career, and that was when he played for Munich 1860. In the 2007-2008 season, he played 27 times for Munich 1860 in the Bundesliga. a ball.
Since then. He never scored again.
After moving to Dortmund last season, he played 19 times and scored zero goals.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to score goals.
Does anyone not want to score goals?
Even goalkeepers wish they could score a goal.
So the goal was missed, which made Sven Bender very sorry. He put his head in his hands and sighed deeply.
※※※
Seeing Sven Bender hugging his head in regret, Zhou Yi shouted at him from behind: "It's okay, Sven! It's okay! There are still opportunities, come back later!"
He did not forget to give Sven Bender a thumbs up.
Vidal next to him glanced at him. Before he remembered, he had to let himself go back to defense...
I stayed by his side, and as a result, there was one less player in the backcourt, giving Sven Bender a chance to shoot forward.
This time Sven Bender is shooting, so what if he passes the ball next time?
The thought of the countless possibilities of leaving Sven Bender unmarked was terrifying for Vidal.
Only then did he understand why the kid had to let him go back to defense, it turned out he wasn't teasing him. If you don't defend yourself. There will be problems!
At the same time, in the commentary booth, Marcel Leff also said: "It was really dangerous just now. If it weren't for Adler's outstanding performance, Leverkusen would have conceded the ball again...in Sven Ben When De went forward, no one went up to defend at all. This is wrong. Vidal is responsible for defending Zhou Yi. There is no problem, but when Zhou Yi stays in the backcourt, is it necessary for Vidal to continue to stay by his side? It is a questionable arrangement. I think Vidal should actively return to the defense, after all, there are only so many people in the midfield. One less player, on such a large stadium, is still very obvious..."
※※※
Although Sven Bender did not score in this attack, it seemed to provide Dortmund with a new way of attacking.
Soon, Dortmund got another chance to attack. Under the close defense of Vidal, Zhou Yi once again gave the football to Sven Bender who was going forward.
After passing the ball, he still didn't run forward.
At this time, Vidal rushed towards Sven Bender without looking back, leaving Zhou Yi behind.
Zhou Yi laughed when he saw this scene behind him.
You were asked to return to prevent you from not returning, are you in a hurry now?
late!
Sven Bender passed the football forward to Shinji Kagawa who dropped back to meet him, and everything seemed to be exactly the same as before.
After passing the ball, Sven Bender continued to run forward, wanting to participate more deeply in Dortmund's offense.
Ballack sticks to Shinji Kagawa, not letting him hand over the football to Sven Bender easily.
And Vidal accelerated to catch up with Sven Bender and prevented him from taking the ball.
Everyone's eyes were on these four people, but they ignored that Zhou Yi had quietly run up from behind.
When he had just passed the middle circle, Shinji Kagawa passed the football back to him!
When the football fell to Zhou Yi's feet, Vidal turned around and saw Zhou Yi.
For a moment, he seemed to see a mocking smile on Zhou Yi's face...
But this must be his illusion, because now Zhou Yi can't care less about mocking Vidal.
After he catches the ball, the opportunity is fleeting. He must seize the opportunity in the shortest possible time and send the football to where it should go, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to cheat Vidal away.
Zhou Yi had already found a space, he just passed the middle circle and directly kicked...a long pass!
The football slashed to the side!
※※※
"This ball...is transferred beautifully!" Duan Xin shouted happily when he saw Gotze run to a position where there were basically no Leverkusen players and stopped the football with his feet.
"Gotze!" Marcel Leif's shout was instantly drowned in the cheers of Dortmund fans at the Westerly Stadium.
Amidst the huge cheers, Gotze unloaded the football beautifully, pushed the football into the penalty area, and then inserted it diagonally into the penalty area!
This is the reason why there were huge cheers and screams at the scene. Zhou Yi's long pass directly penetrated Leverkusen's carefully arranged defenses, and directly found Goetze who was inserted behind the opponent!
Now Gotze can face the goal directly!
Leverkusen's players hurried back to defense and quickly rushed towards Gotze.
However, Gotze didn't mean to create Longtan himself. When the opponents moved closer to him, he pushed the football to the middle.
Barrios followed up in the middle and arrived in time. The small penalty area in front of the goal has been trampled by players from both sides. Basically, there is no vegetable skin here, only yellow-brown soil, and it is difficult to control the balance. Barrios simply lost control of his balance, slid out, and made a shovel shot!
Although Adler made a save, it was still a bit slow to turn around and pounce back...
The football was scooped into the goal by Barrios!
"2:0!" Marcel Leff shouted, "Dortmund has further expanded their lead! Unlike the slow start of the league last season, this season's Dortmund has been on full swing from the beginning !"
"Good goal! It's a beautiful goal!" Duan Xin also shouted, "Although it was not directly assisted by Zhou Yi, it is obvious that this goal was initiated by Zhou Yi, and he played an indispensable role in this attack! Then The transfer of a long pass was decisive and sudden, and most importantly... very accurate!"
Regardless of whether Zhou Yi scored or assisted, as a Chinese commentator, he must find out the part related to Zhou Yi from every goal, and then praise it. This is the commentary that the people like to hear.
At least Zhou Yi's father, Zhou Jianliang, felt comfortable when he heard Duan Xin's explanation. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
