Chapter 137

After the game started, Schalke 04, who played at home, took advantage of their home game and launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal.

Judging from the scene alone, this Schalke 04 seems to be really different from the Schalke 04 in the previous games. The players are more active and full of fighting spirit.

This is a derby after all.

Derby is a special game and cannot be compared with ordinary games.

Experience in ordinary games does not apply to games like the derby.

Anyway, the fans of Schalke 04 are full of hope for the team.

Marcel Leif also said that Schalke 04 is finally going to sweep away the decline.

But it was Dortmund who scored first!

In the 20th minute, Gotze assisted Shinji Kagawa to open the scoring for Dortmund!

"Beautiful! Shinji Kagawa!" Marcel Leif shouted.

After the goal, Shinji Kagawa ran to Gotze who passed the ball to him, and other Dortmund players also flocked to the two of them.

This is the first Ruhr Derby that Shinji Kagawa participated in, and he scored a goal unexpectedly...

What makes Duan Xin a little depressed is that this goal was scored by a Japanese player, but it has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

The kick to Gotze was not from Zhou Yichuan, and this goal is not considered to be instigated by him.

But Zhou Yi himself didn't have any ideas, he didn't think that all the team's goals had to be related to him.

It would be wrong if the whole team had to count on themselves.

"I really didn't expect that it would be Dortmund who scored the first goal! After the opening, Schalke 04's advantage on the field could not be converted into a goal..." Marcel Leff said, as a neutral commentator, he It's because watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, so in fact, Dortmund can take the lead in the away game, which is what he hopes to see.

Because of this, the Schalke 04 players can be stimulated, let them break out, and make the game better.

※※※

Actually.

The next game did develop according to this rhythm.

Schalke 04, who fell behind at home, were clearly irritated. Falling behind, they launched a fierce offensive towards Dortmund's goal.

Generally speaking, the team that has just scored a goal will have great morale, and then press down on the side that lost the goal and chase hard.

But in this Ruhr Derby, it was the exact opposite.

Schalke 04, who was behind, launched a pounce. The leading Dortmund did not dare to press the offense-they were afraid that the goal they had just scored would be equalized by the opponent, which would be too demoralizing.

So Dortmund had to reclaim the defense.

But even though Dortmund has shrunk its defense. But in the face of the fierce Schalke 04, their defense is still a bit embarrassing.

Full-back Owomoyela received a yellow card in the 30th minute before Shinji Kagawa tackled Rakitic two minutes later. Also got a yellow card.

In a short period of time, Dortmund had two yellow cards. It can be seen how critical the situation is in defense.

But Dortmund fans feel that this should be the referee's problem. Because the game has been played so far, Dortmund has two yellow cards, but Schalke 04 has no yellow cards.

"Black whistle!" Mrs. Wagner shouted dissatisfiedly waving her hands.

beside him. Dortmund fans are shouting so.

They thought the referee Huckle was too partial to the home team.

They have reason to think so. At the beginning of the game, the movements of both sides were quite big. After all, this is a derby. It has the smell of gunpowder added.

It stands to reason. It doesn't matter if the two sides of this kind of derby move slightly bigger, the referee generally won't blow it. This ensures the fluidity of the game while retaining the fiery and intense nature of the derby. Unless it goes too far. The referee will intervene.

In fact, it doesn't matter, it's okay to be strict.

The most important thing is to keep a bowl of water level.

It is also a defense with relatively large movements, calling Dortmund players for fouls, but ignoring Schalke 04 players, don't blame Dortmund fans for being dissatisfied.

※※※

After the referee issued two consecutive yellow cards to Dortmund players, Dortmund really had to be more cautious when defending.

This just gave the players of Schalke 04 a chance.

They took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal.

And in the 41st minute, Huntelaar received a pass from Christopher Moritz and scored!

"Hunterel!" Marcel Leff shouted excitedly, "He equalized the score for Schalke 04! Now the score is 1:1! That's right! This is the Ruhr Derby!"

The live broadcast was also chanting: "Beautiful goal! The man who scored it was Klaas Young—"

Arriving proudly in the Schalke Stadium, the fans of Schalke 04 shouted in unison: "—Hunterel!!"

Amidst the cheers, Huntelaar ran with his arms outstretched, enjoying the moment to the fullest.

※※※

At the moment when Huntelaar scored a goal, the Schalke Stadium roared and trembled like a volcanic eruption. The fans who can set the decibel record in European stadiums are really extraordinary!

At that moment, Mark, who was sitting on the bench, seemed to have a sense of suffocation and was out of breath. He hastily inhaled heavily, like a drowning man about to drown.

It took several deep breaths in a row before Mark could feel the air entering his body again.

And his heart was still beating rapidly... as if it was about to jump out of his throat, he had to bite his lower lip tightly.

I just sat on the sidelines and felt so much pressure, what about the people on the court?

He set his sights on Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

Mark is no stranger to this expression. He and Zhou Yi played together in the youth team. If someone was in the game, his team was behind, or the situation was unfavorable, the others would frown more or less and feel restless. But Zhou Yi didn't, just looked calm.

In fact, a calm face is a good way to say it. If it is not good, you can say "a dull face", "a sleepy face" and "a bewildered face".

But no matter how you describe it, there will be no expression on Zhou Yi's face at this time anyway.

Seeing Zhou Yi showing such an expression again, Mark's heart, which was still beating wildly just now, suddenly became much quieter.

※※※

"Good job! Good job!" Draxler jumped up from his seat when Huntelaar scored, waving his fists and yelling into the field.

Yang Muge and Hao Junmin also stood up from their seats, clapping their hands excitedly.

They weren't as excited as Draxella, but they were happy nonetheless. After all, they are all Schalke 04 players, so they naturally hope that their team will win.

At this time, no matter how good the relationship with Zhou Yi is, it has to be put aside.

※※※

After Schalke 04 equalized the score, their morale was boosted and they began to besiege Dortmund's penalty area in turn.

Dortmund, who played away, could only be forced to shrink their defense.

In this way, there was a dangerous situation in front of their door.

If Dortmund's defenders and goalkeeper hadn't been doing well... maybe they would have conceded a goal at the end of the first half.

However, Dortmund fans are also very dissatisfied with this situation. They think the referee is the culprit. If the referee hadn’t given the Dortmund players two yellow cards in a short period of time, how could Dortmund shrink back when defending, no Dare to make moves?

If this were Dortmund's home court, the Dortmund fans would have booed the referee to death.

But...if this is Dortmund's home court, the two yellow cards may not happen in a short period of time, and it is not certain.

Dortmund retreated across the board, and finally kept the 1:1 score until the end of the first half.

At half-time, Klopp criticized the team's performance in the first half.

"The referee gave two yellow cards and stopped defending? Is there such a reason? Do what you should do! Kill them cleanly!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, you were blocked by the other party in the first half, and you have to change this situation in the second half."

He didn't say how to improve Zhouyi. He thought Zhouyi could solve this problem, and he still had some trust in that.

And Zhou Yi also nodded, there is no question what the head coach should do, and he thinks that there is no need to ask the coach for help with such a problem.

Mark has been secretly observing Zhou Yi's performance.

Even if he was equalized by the opponent, returned to the locker room, and was "tactfully" criticized by the head coach for his performance in the first half, Zhou Yi's face was still very calm.

Mark sometimes wondered whether this kind of calm was the reason why Zhou Yi was always not nervous and could solve all kinds of problems?

He was a little envious of Zhou Yi, and he might not be able to be as calm as Zhou Yi in his life.

But I'm not jealous, because...my idol is amazing! (To be continued.) Enable new URL
