Chapter 231 Provocation

British commentators believe that Zhou Yi's body is the most important obstacle restricting his development in the Premier League, because even if his small body comes to Arsenal and plays in the first team, he will not be able to adapt to the rough style of play in the Premier League. He will often fall into In the cycle of injury.

Therefore, he felt that Arsenal had nothing to regret for not signing Zhou Yi. On the contrary, Wenger also made a good deal.

You must know that in the Arsenal first team, there is actually a midfielder who is not inferior to Zhou Yi in talent, Jack Wilshere. But people like Wilshere will be troubled by injuries, let alone Zhou Yi.

Song himself is also very satisfied with his performance.

Before the game, Wenger also told them very solemnly that the core of Dortmund is Zhou Yi and he is very important. As long as his performance can be contained, Dortmund's performance will be reduced in half.

Song thought he was such a powerful character.

As a result, he was able to get it done so easily, and his evaluation of Zhou Yi plummeted.

I originally took a high look, after all, it can make Wenger so nervous.

Who would have thought... maybe Wenger also made mistakes in judgment...

When Zhou Yi was knocked to the ground by Song for the third time in this game, the referee blew the whistle and sentenced Song to a foul.

This time, Song seemed to feel aggrieved. He made a diving gesture towards the referee, and then said: "This is obviously his diving, referee. I was a reasonable collision!"

However, the referee ignored his defense, so Song turned around and said to Zhou Yi: "Hey, boy, do you only know how to dive?" After hearing his words, Zhou Yi, who was about to get up, looked up at him .

"Why, do you still have any opinions?" Song Jian saw Zhou Yi looking at him. "I think with a body like yours, it's better not to play football. I don't want to hurt you, kid."

Zhou Yi still looked at him, didn't speak, just stood up, then looked at Song, just looked at him, and walked past him.

Not to be outdone, Song stared back at Zhou Yi and yelled at him: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Yi glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and ran forward. And Song was still chattering behind his back.

"What did Song Zai say to Zhou Yi?

There seemed to be some verbal entanglement between the two..." Marcel Leif said.

Everything that happened between Zhou Yi and Song was recorded by the camera and then presented to everyone.

"Alexander Song should be scolding Zhou Yi for diving... but it's so funny. Looking at his action just now, it was obviously a foul. The referee also made a penalty. He was still nagging Zhou Yi... Maybe he wanted to Are you going to arouse Zhou Yi's anger?" He Ping guessed.

"I'm afraid Zhou Yi is not so easy to provoke anger, right?" Zhang Lu, the guest commentator next to him, said.

"Look at Zhou Yi's performance just now. He didn't talk back, he just looked at the other party. It should be like this..."

"Zhou Yi is a player who is calm and mature beyond his years..."

If Cortana could hear what the two Chinese commentators were saying, she would probably roll her eyes - where did that kid get the calmness and maturity beyond his years? It's obviously very childish!

Mark, who was sitting at home watching TV, saw Zhou Yi being violated by Song one after another, and he was also very angry: "That Song is just trying to destroy people! Looking at his defensive actions, if Zhou Yi doesn't hide and hurry up, he will probably be over!"

Having just been injured, he is now particularly sensitive to fouls that may lead to injury. He didn't want Zhou Yi to follow in his footsteps.

"Don't stand up." Cortana said coldly, sitting next to her.

"But that black man seems to be really capable..." Mrs. Wagner was a little worried. "Zhou Yi's body is indeed not very strong. This is his only shortcoming..."

Because Mark just had surgery a few days ago, and now he has to use a wheelchair when going out, it is inconvenient to watch the game live, so Mark and his family watched the game live on TV at home.

"No, Zhou Yi must have a way to deal with him!" Mark said firmly. "I believe him, that Song is no match for him at all!"

In fact, Zhou Yi is really no stranger to Song's playing style. After all, he has played against Arsenal in the virtual space for three nights.

However, there are some things in the real world that cannot be simulated in FIFA OL3's virtual space.

Things like trash talk.

Some players always like to talk nonsense during games, provoke opponents, anger them, make them lose their minds, and thus lose their fighting ability.

The most famous example is probably the scene in the 2006 World Cup final, when the French national team and the Italian national team were inextricably tied and fought all the way to overtime.

The two sides were about to enter a penalty shootout.

Italian center back Materazzi, who was guarding Zidane, suddenly said a few words to Zidane.

At that time, the expression on Zidane's face was quite normal, and he seemed to be smiling. But after saying that, his expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly headed towards Materazzi, knocking the Italian defender to the ground.

This obvious intentional foul caused Zidane to be sent off with a direct red card. The French team, with one less player, eventually lost the championship in the penalty shootout.

The conflict between Materazzi and Zidane has become the focus of everyone's attention. There are many versions of speculation about what Materazzi said to Zidane that made him so angry.

Materazzi's provocation against Zidane ultimately determined the World Cup champion.

Therefore, this kind of trash talk is very common as a defensive strategy and tactic. However, in football games, the role of trash talk is not as prominent as in basketball games. After all, the basketball court is small, and players from both sides are more often entangled with each other, making it easier to trash talk each other face to face.

It is said that basketball legend Michael Jordan is a master of trash talking...

Zhou Yi knew that Song wanted to anger him, but if he just fell into his trap, wouldn't it be too shameful? I will be angry if you make me angry?

But it is impossible to say that he calmed down in the face of Song's provocation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to look at Song, and he would simply slap his butt and run away.

No one can be happy after being looked down upon or insulted.

Zhou Yi couldn't do it either.

Physically, he was indeed no match for Song, but that didn't mean that he had nothing to do when facing Song.

Because football is not just about the body...

※※※

Dortmund attacked again. This time when Zhou Yi ran to the center circle, Sven Bender from behind passed the football.

Zhou Yi raised his foot to stop the football, and then made a gesture to pass the ball, but he seemed to have made a mistake because his toe touched the football first and pushed the football forward. The football rolled forward about two meters.

Song rushed forward quickly, trying to grab the ball.

Naturally, Zhou Yi was not willing to lose possession of the ball just like that, so he also rushed towards the football.

However, judging from the previous confrontation between him and Song, it was difficult for Zhou Yi to take advantage of such an opponent who was purely physical.

Zhou Yi was closer to the football than Song, so he got to the football a little ahead of Song, but he was really just a little ahead... because Song was already chasing him right behind him.

Zhou Yi kicked the football with his feet, as if he wanted to kick it out before Song. This is also the choice of most players when facing this kind of pressing. They must clear the ball first and not let the ball be lost to them.

So seeing Zhou Yi swinging his feet, Song accelerated and rushed in front of Zhou Yi, trying to intercept the pass.

But when he rushed past Zhou Yi, the football didn't hit him.

Didn't you stop it?

No!

It's because they didn't play football at all!

He looked back at the football that Zhou Yi left behind Zhou Yi, and his body continued to rush forward according to the inertia... He couldn't believe that Zhou Yi was actually making a fake move!

You must know that if most people want to play football falsely, they will stand still, so that they can continue to control the ball after completing the fake action. But just now, Zhou Yi clearly rushed towards the football without slowing down at all. This was clearly a posture of trying to kick the football out at all costs.

Who would have thought that this could also be a fake move? !

Song could not help but rush past Zhou Yi, causing a gust of wind and some grass clippings...

"Oh! Beautiful! Book of Changes!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.

"Zhouyi Zhouyi Zhouyi!! Beautiful escape!" He Ping was even more excited.

Zhou Yi, who had shaken off Song, turned around, grabbed the football, and rushed forward with the ball!

"Well done, go for it, Zhou Yi!!" Mark in front of the TV wanted to stand up and cheer for Zhou Yi, but he thought of his sister again, so he only raised his butt slightly and then fell down again.

Zhou Yi's escape is very fatal for Arsenal.

Because in Arsenal's 433 formation for this game, Alexander Song is the only player in the midfield who can defend. Not to mention the three forwards, Van Persie, Theo Walcott, and Gervinho. The other two of the three midfielders, Arteta, are organizing midfielders. Their defensive abilities may not be much different from Zhou Yi's, and so is Benayoun. A player who is strong on offense and defense.

After Zhou Yi got rid of the only defensive player in Arsenal's midfield, he went straight to the middle!

Arsenal really never expected that Song, who could suppress Zhou Yi to death before, would be thrown away by Zhou Yi so easily...

They were like bees attracted by the stamens of a flower, swarming towards Zhou Yi.

The defensive intensity in other positions has dropped...

So when Arteta pounced on him, Zhou Yi passed the football to the feet of Shinji Kagawa who ran behind him.

After receiving the ball, Shinji Kagawa turned around, adjusted, and faced Arsenal's goal. He chose to shoot directly!

"Kagawa——!" the Japanese TV commentator screamed in a long voice, hoping to use his voice to help Shinji Kagawa and help him score the ball!

But it's a pity that Shinji Kagawa's kick hit the thigh of Arsenal center back Koscielny who rushed to block the eye-catching shot. It bounced high and flew out!

"Ah, what a pity!" Marcel Leif put his head in his hands. Zhouyi created a good opportunity for Shinji Kagawa, but unfortunately Shinji Kagawa failed to seize it.

Zhou Yi did what he could, but he obviously couldn't take over all the work of other teammates, which is a pity... (To be continued.)
