Chapter 234 Goodbye, Muscular Man

When Gotze passed the ball to Lewandowski, Alexander Song got up from the ground.

Then he saw Lewandowski shoot the football into the Arsenal goal.

He once again became the best foil for Dortmund's goals...

He turned his gaze to Zhou Yi, with burning anger in his eyes.

Two missed goals made him a laughing stock twice!

This revenge... must be avenged!

※※※

The previous goal was replayed again and again in the TV broadcast, starting from when Zhou Yi knocked Song away. In the end, they even just replayed Zhou Yi's action of shaking Song away in slow motion.

The football rolled past him. Everyone would think that Zhou Yi was trying to pass the football, and then turned around and walked forward.

Alexander Song thought so too, so there was nothing to be picky about his choice. Everything he did was right.

It's just that Zhou Yi is more cunning than he thought...

He didn't really pass the football, but used his left foot to dunk the football to the right, passing by Song Lai who was crossing.

The key to this action is that what Zhou Yi did was not obvious and very covert. Like the previous pass to Lewandowski, it was also without warning. So it’s hard to guard against.

It was as if he originally planned to dribble the ball forward, but changed his mind temporarily after seeing Song's crosscut.

This will naturally catch Song, who is guarding him, off guard.

Compared with Alexander Song, who was aggressive and always wanted to destroy Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi rarely made such aggressive-looking moves. His moves against Song were very subtle and clever, just like... …

"Zhou Yi is like a Tai Chi master. Every punch that Song tried his best was resolved by Zhou Yi with very gentle force. The so-called four-ounce move can bring a lot of weight, which is Zhou Yi's way of playing!" He Ping hit the nail on the head. .

Yes, look at his assist for Lewandowski's first goal and his moves to get rid of Song. The amplitude is not large. At first glance, there is no sense of power, but it reveals the wisdom and skill of the Chinese people.

He really seemed like a Tai Chi master fighting Song,

His sleeves were flying, and it felt like he was beating the opponent to pieces without using any strength.

The game restarted, and Arsenal were now behind in the away game. The question before them was a bit complicated - should they try to equalize the score before the game, or should they accept the result of a small loss by one goal?

If this is the knockout stage, maybe Arsenal will accept this and take over. After all, it is only a small loss and an away goal. When they return to home, they only need to win 1:0 to advance. But now it is the group stage, and the victory of any game is related to whether it can qualify from the group and in what capacity.

Judging from the situation of this group, Dortmund is likely to be the final opponent to compete with Arsenal for the top spot in the group - Wenger does not believe those so-called experts who say that Dortmund will be thoroughly studied by their opponents in the second Champions League season. And the performance is not as good as last season's bullshit.

He has always believed that Dortmund is Arsenal's number one enemy in the group stage, followed by Marseille.

Therefore, the result of the game against Dortmund will determine the final ranking in which Arsenal will qualify from the group.

If you want to compete for first place in the group, you have to beat Dortmund.

Losing to Dortmund away from home leaves Arsenal with less room for maneuver...

So they should strive to draw their opponents away from home.

But if you attack because of this, do you still remember how you lost the ball just now?

Dortmund's counterattack is very threatening.

So now Arsenal is in a more complicated situation.

The problem faced by Arsenal player Alexander Song himself is very simple - no matter how the situation changes, he now has one idea: to do Zhou Yi!

But it was not easy for him to get to Zhouyi...

Zhou Yi hardly has any trouble dealing with him now.

For example, he received a ball from his teammate from behind near the midline. After stopping the ball and turning around, he quickly used the foot that stopped the ball to gently move the football to the inside as if he was predicting the future. Just as he passed the ball, Song The sliding shovel arrived... but of course it was all empty. Song, who fell to the ground, could only watch Zhou Yi take the football out.

Another example is when a teammate passes the football to Zhou Yi. When Zhou Yi catches the ball, his body leans back. This action is not conducive to his connection after catching the ball, so Song can confidently and boldly lean forward to put pressure on him.

But Zhou Yi didn't want to catch the ball at all. He directly poked the football passed by his teammate. The football passed between Song's legs and was given to Grosskreutz, who was responding to Zhou Yi... And Song suffered A football version of "crotch humiliation".

There are many scenes like this where the two sides are fighting. Zhou Yi basically stopped having physical contact with Song.

Anyway, Song himself is not that kind of speed player. It is impossible for him to rush up and knock Zhou Yi down before Zhou Yi catches the ball.

Time and time again, when Zhou Yi was spinning Song around, there would always be a burst of laughter and whistles in the stands of the Westfield Stadium.

When Song was arrogant before, Dortmund fans didn't know how cruel they were to him, and the South Stand was filled with all kinds of abuse against him.

Now Dortmund fans can finally have a laugh.

Their laughter made Alexander Song even more embarrassed.

"Alexander Song, who is defending Zhou Yi, is really under a lot of pressure now..." He Ping also teased Song, which simply added fuel to the fire.

Zhou Yi's one-sided crushing of Alexander Song came to an abrupt end in the 78th minute of the game.

When Zhou Yi once again used flexible movements to twist away from Song, the Cameroon international turned around and stretched out his hands to hug Zhou Yi around the waist, and then knocked Zhou Yi directly to the ground as if he was wrestling.

The referee's whistle sounded, and he ran to Alexander Song who committed the foul, and then showed him a... yellow card!

"Yellow card! Alexander Song received a yellow card! This is his second yellow card in this game! He is going to be sent off!" Marcel Leif shouted with some gloating.

"Song finally couldn't bear it anymore and applied for a second yellow card!" He Ping also continued to tease Song.

Arsenal's players surrounded the referee, hoping that the referee would be merciful, but how could the penalty be changed so easily? Not to mention that the foul that Song committed just now was completely the same as judo wrestling.

If such a foul cannot be given a yellow card, then players can do whatever they want during the game, right?

So Song's yellow card cannot be escaped.

While his teammates were still fighting for Song, Song stood outside, looking a little indifferent.

Until Zhou Yi called him: "Hey, muscular man."

Song looked back at him and saw him tapping his temple with his hand.

"Share a little bit of my life experience. Football is not just about muscles, it is also played with brains. Goodbye, muscle man." He said in English.

※※※

"Are you telling Song to calm down?" Mark asked in front of the TV. After he asked, his sister's voice sounded behind him.

"Just telling that muscle idiot to use his brain when playing football."

Mark looked back and found Cortana looking down at her own book, as if the words she just said were not hers at all.

※※※

No matter how the Arsenal players pleaded for Song, the referee still showed Song a red card, and the poor Cameroonian was sent off...

And his end was also a turning point for Arsenal. Because Song was the only player in Arsenal's midfield who could defend in this game, his dismissal meant that Arsenal had no defensive power in the midfield.

His red card also directly made Wenger make the final choice - don't think about offense, just defend.

He replaced Gervinho and replaced him with a young midfielder Frimpong.

It is hoped that the defense can be strengthened, and at the same time the entire team's formation is retracted to solidify the defense.

Although Arsenal took the initiative to recover, Dortmund did not press forward across the board in an effort to score more goals.

Because the person who specifically controls Dortmund's rhythm on the court is Zhou Yi. Seeing that Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott are still on the court, Zhou Yi knows that Arsenal still has strong strength to counterattack quickly. If Dortmund attacks too hard, , it will become an excellent opportunity for Arsenal to counterattack. Just like Dortmund's second goal.

Zhou Yi doesn't want this to happen to Dortmund in turn.

So he led Dortmund to control the ball. No matter how Arsenal recovered the defense, Dortmund was not in a hurry to attack in a big way, but slowly dealt with Arsenal in the midfield.

Time also passed by minute by minute in this circle.

Finally, when the referee blew the final whistle, Dortmund defeated Arsenal, the seeded team in this group, 2:1 at home, giving them a good start in the Champions League for the new season.

As for the rookie wall?

Sorry, in this game, neither Zhou Yi nor the entire Dortmund team could see any signs of hitting a wall... (To be continued.)
