Chapter 41 Physical Decline

The Chinese team celebrated their goal wildly again, but on the Dortmund youth team side, they were stunned by the second goal.

If they were still unconvinced when they were the first to concede the ball, they felt that if their teammates hadn't fallen, they would not have conceded the ball.

Now, they have no excuses.

No one fell to the ground in this fumble, and they had nothing to look for.

So the goal hit them hard - they realized that the first goal wasn't their bad luck...Goetze was standing in the back of the center circle, he chased here and made a symbolic interception After Zhouyi, there was no further pursuit. He still wanted to wait for a counterattack, but he didn't expect that it was the team's second conceded goal.

The players of the Chinese team flocked to He Ying who scored the goal. As the player who scored twice, he was naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

But Gotze's eyes fell on Zhou Yi who was assisted by He Ying. He had a "competition" with Zhou Yi in the back defense. Of course, his defense was symbolic, and Zhou Yi's escape was also timely. The two of them didn't even have physical contact, so this contest must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

But precisely because of this "competition", Goce had a different view of Zhouyi in his heart.

They were also midfielders, and Gotze could see clearly that although the Chinese team's No. 10 scored the goal, their No. 16 was probably the real protagonist of the ball. He was the one who instigated the attack. That move down the middle was smart and bold.

The No. 16 has already assisted two goals, but Gotze's teammates still have nothing to do with him.

Gotze thinks this person is not simple. Is he a player of the Chinese National Youth Team?

※※※

Everyone around was celebrating the goal, but Liang Qiqi and Yang Fei were extremely embarrassed, especially Liang Qiqi.

It was also said before that Zhou Yi's assist was just luck, and the blind cat hit a dead mouse.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi immediately assisted another goal, and this goal was also lucky?

Two consecutive assists is good luck?

They probably wouldn't even believe it when they said it.

They had no choice but to sit in their seats in silence, in stark contrast to the cheery teammates around them.

At this time, they had already forgotten that this was a reality TV show, and there were cameras facing them. Maybe their out of place performance was recorded by the cameras?

※※※

After the initial passionate celebration, Hao Dong and Xu Yang had calmed down, and they looked at each other.

"When you decided to let him replace Liang Qiqi in the starting lineup, would you have thought that he would give you such an answer?" Xu Yang asked Hao Dong.

When Hao Dong decided to let Zhou Yi start, he was a little worried, but now he is not worried at all.

Zhou Yi may indeed be inferior to Liang Qiqi in terms of technique and body, but his brain is much better than Liang Qiqi, and his golf quotient is higher.

As an organizing midfielder, this is the most important quality.

Hao Dong shook his head: "He has surprised me more than once."

During the audition finals, Zhou Yi surprised Hao Dong.

This seems to be a child who can perform miracles.

Now, he is looking forward to what Zhou Yi can do during this trip to Europe.

※※※

After the game restarted, the morale of the Chinese teenagers who led the Dortmund youth team for the second time was boosted, but this time they did not attack as frequently as before, and the opponent counterattacked.

After assisting his teammates to score twice in a row, Zhou Yi's prestige in the midfield has also greatly improved.

He doesn't even need to raise his hand to ask for the ball. Everyone will consciously return the football to him and let him handle it.

Judging from the scene, the Chinese team is very rare to have an advantage on the scene.

They look like they have more control over the ball than Dortmund.

If you can control the ball, you can control the situation.

For the team, what is possession?

It is not that someone controls the football at his own feet from beginning to end, but lets the football be under the control of his own players as much as possible.

Such a scene has never appeared in the previous four games. The Chinese team is no different from a set of loose sand in the midfield. The offense and defense have no rules, and it all depends on individual ability. Compared with the geniuses who came out of the rich youth training camp, the personal ability of these players is naturally inferior. So from the scene to the result It was all horrible.

But now the situation has changed drastically.

Zhou Yi contributed a lot to this.

He moves, catches, passes, moves, catches, passes in midfield.

Although there is no through ball that can directly threaten the opponent's goal, through his receiving and passing, football is converted at the feet of Chinese teenagers most of the time.

Liang Qiqi, who had been silent for a long time, finally found a vent. He sat on the bench, folded his arms around his chest, crossed his legs and said disdainfully, "Hmph! I know what's the point of flipping back and forth!"

There was a time when the Chinese team could not find a chance to go forward during the game, so they could only keep playing in the backcourt. Therefore, some public opinion criticized the Chinese team for playing in the backcourt as a passive style of play, which is meaningless , is a symbol of the backwardness of Chinese football.

Liang Qiqi obviously equated Zhou Yi's dominance with the symbol of backwardness.

※※※

From Liang Qiqi's point of view, Zhouyi's transmission is only the most basic, and it doesn't show its awesomeness at all.

But Klopp's eyes are getting brighter and brighter outside the field.

what did he see

Take the pass between No. 16 and his teammates just now as an example.

He saw that No. 16 was not staring at his teammates when they were catching the ball, but was looking around. It looked like he was distracted, but it wasn't.

He looked left and right, and the head on the neck was swinging like a radar antenna.

He is not at all like other players who spend most of their time watching football, afraid of losing it if they don't see it for a second.

But Sixteen didn't.

He spends more time looking at his surroundings, shaking his head left and right.

While graying, while moving, are jogging, or pacing, just like walking, seemingly casually came to a place.

This place is an empty space with no one around. There are no teammates of their own, and no players from the Dortmund youth team.

And because No. 16 came over casually and slowly, it didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

Finding vacancy and running vacancy, these are all done on purpose by him.

After finding the space, he motioned for his teammates to pass him the ball.

When his teammates passed the football, he was still shaking his head left and right to observe the surrounding situation, especially the situation behind him. He not only shook his head, but also quickly turned around to look.

The bobbing doesn't stop until he catches the ball.

He is fast or slow, passing the football, but he will not observe before passing the ball. It seems that he already knows where his teammates will receive his ball, and his pass is about five to ten meters. In terms of distance, there are very few mistakes.

Of course, when he passed the ball, almost no Dortmund youth team players came up to interfere with him and press him. He can pass the football calmly, and the accuracy rate is naturally high.

This way of playing made Klopp think of someone.

The midfield core of the Barcelona football team and the Spanish national team, the strongest brain on the field-Xavi.

The same stature is not tall, but they also stand at the height of the overall situation to coordinate the whole team.

It makes a lot of sense...

Klopp stroked his unshaven chin and narrowed his eyes.

※※※

It was not until the end of the first half that the Dortmund youth team seized the opportunity to equalize the score.

It was still Goetze who scored the goal, and he also scored twice in this game.

After the equalizer, Gotze was a little excited. You must know that when he scored the first goal, he didn't do any celebration. His teammates came up to celebrate the goal with him, and he didn't have any expression on his face.

At that time, he thought it was very easy to score a goal against the Chinese team. Why should he celebrate such an easy thing?

But after China took the lead for the second time, I don't think it will be an easy game to win by a big margin.

The equalizer became the priority, not the goal of winning a few goals.

So after tying the score again, Gotze was unavoidably excited. He waved his fist vigorously and deliberately roared loudly at the players of the Chinese team to vent his emotions.

Although the score was equalized before the end of the first half, the Chinese team did not blame the conceded goal. Because the 2-2 draw in the first half was already the best forty-five minutes for the teenagers to come to Europe - with two goals and not yet lost.

After the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half, the Chinese team still dealt with Dortmund for about ten minutes, and then Dortmund took the upper hand.

After all, the strength gap between the two sides is still quite large.

The Chinese team's control in the midfield is getting weaker and weaker.

The fundamental reason is that Zhou Yi's physical fitness has declined, and the decline is getting faster and faster.

He can't run anymore, even if he can see the gap, but he can't run to the gap, just seeing is useless.

The Dortmund youth team took advantage of this opportunity and scored three goals in a row in the next ten minutes, rewriting the score to 5:2, not only taking the lead, but also securing the victory.

The fifth game of the Chinese teenagers in Europe will be another defeat.

"It's a pity..." Xu Yang shook his head and sighed on the coach's bench.

When the Chinese team took the lead for the second time, he did have a little bit of fantasy, fantasizing that the Chinese team could defeat the proud Dortmund youth team and get their first victory in Europe.

But in the end, the gap in strength between the two sides was still expressed in the form of scores.

"If Zhou Yi is a kid who has been systematically trained in professional football for ten years, maybe we can win." Hao Dong next to him said. "But he was just a student before, and his performance is already very good, there is no way to ask for more from him."

"Should I replace him?" Xu Yang asked Zhou Yi, who could only "walk" on the court.

"No." Hao Dong shook his head. "How to handle the ball and how to control the game when his body is exhausted, I think this is also very valuable experience for him."

"As you said, he is just a student, and this kind of experience accumulation is meaningless to him, right?" Xu Yang always felt that Hao Dong had a higher standard of requirements and expectations for Zhou Yi, and thought too far.

"I think after the experience and what he saw in Europe in the past two months, he shouldn't want to continue to be a student, right?" Hao Dong smiled, "Unless he doesn't like football."
