Chapter 262 Away Goal
After accurately sending the football in front of Shinji Kagawa with his heel, Zhou Yi did not just stop, but accelerated and ran forward.
"This is Dortmund's counterattack!" Marcel Leif roared excitedly. In this game, he was slightly silent. This may be the most excited he has ever been in the game.
Shinji Kagawa rushed forward and caught up with the ball passed to him by Zhou Yi.
However, AC Milan still has someone behind him, and now there is AC Milan center back Thiago Silva in front of him.
This is a Brazilian central defender with excellent abilities. Although he is not tall, he has outstanding defensive ability.
Kagawa Shinji is facing a very difficult opponent to deal with, and it is very difficult to break through him one-on-one.
Kagawa Shinji made a fake move to break through to the left, but then moved the football to the right. Thiago Silva was unmoved, followed up, and stretched out his foot to steal the ball.
Shinji Kagawa quickly stretched out his right foot to hook the football back, thus avoiding being snatched away by Thiago Silva.
He tried to pass the ball again, but Thiago Silva didn't take it.
Shinji Kagawa was forced to slow down, he was forced to a stop by Thiago Silva, and Dortmund's quick counterattack was blocked.
Just when Shinji Kagawa didn't know what to do, Zhou Yi's voice sounded on his left side.
"Kagawa!"
The Japanese midfielder was excited and turned around to see Zhou Yi.
But I also saw Van Bommel behind Zhou Yi.
But he still passed the football.
After Thiago Silva saw Van Bommel behind Zhou Yi, he did not follow to block Zhou Yi. He believed that Van Bommel could stop Zhou Yi.
Sure enough, I saw the football being passed to Zhou Yi by Shinji Kagawa. Van Bommel accelerated and tried to get in front of Zhou Yi to steal the ball.
Even if it can't be broken, you can still take the opportunity to stick up and make Zhou Yi unable to move forward.
Zhou Yi raised his left foot and faced the football, as if he was about to knock the football to the right. Van Bommel stretched out his hand and pulled his left shoulder, overtaking from the left, intending to get ahead of Zhou Yi and break off the football that he knocked to the right. .
But Zhou Yi's move was just a fake move.
His left foot met the football and then went directly around the football...
The football passed across his feet and continued to roll to the left.
Van Bommel missed the mark!
When he rushed to the right, Zhou Yi dodged and turned to the left!
The two people passed each other and parted ways!
"Zhou Yi! Beautiful escape!" He Ping shouted excitedly.
Zhou Yi, who got rid of Van Bommel, took the football to the penalty area.
Another central defender, Mexes, came up to him.
Van Bommel circled around and pounced again.
Thiago Silva did not join in the fun. He was still staring at Shinji Kagawa. The Japanese player had already rushed in and raised his arms. This was obviously asking Zhou Yi for the ball.
If Silva also follows to defend Zhou Yi, Shinji Kagawa will be unmarked. Zhou Yi only needs to pass the ball to give Shinji Kagawa an excellent opportunity.
Thiago Silva is not stupid.
※※※
Facing the frontal obstruction of Mexes and Van Bommel who might appear from the side at any time, Zhou Yi entered the penalty area without any hesitation. He had already made a decision.
With his head lowered, he seemed to be controlling the ball seriously.
He seemed completely unaware of what was happening around him.
But at this moment, his right foot suddenly swung forward, and his toe hit the football!
The football flew past Mex's legs against the turf. The ball came very suddenly, catching Mex off guard. When the football passed through his crotch, he suddenly retracted his legs. It's like the internet speed is delayed...
But because he retracted his legs too quickly, the 1.90 meter tall man lost his balance, then fell backwards and fell to the ground!
After he fell to the ground, he looked back from the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of the goalkeeper Abbiati who fell to the ground and jumped sideways, as well as the football passing by Abbiati's hand...
"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!" Marcel Leif raised his arms and shouted. "Zhou Yi!! Zhou Yi!! He keeps hope for Dortmund!"
The football passed by Abbiati's hand, hit the goal post and hit the net! Zhou Yi did not choose to use the inside of his foot to create a far corner, but unexpectedly poked the near corner!
Because the action of stabbing is very concealed, and the distance is closest when shooting into a close corner, as long as the football is faster, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to react.
He made the right choice again.
Because Zhou Yi chose to play at the near corner, even if Van Bommel rushed up, it had no effect at all. He could only turn around and watch the football go into the net. He can be regarded as a witness to this goal...
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Beautiful! The ball is in!!!" He Ping was very excited. "This goal is crucial for Dortmund. In the situation of 0:3, Zhou Yi scored an away goal for Dortmund and evened the total score to 1:3! Now Dortmund is only two goals behind Yes! This is not an insurmountable chasm!"
※※※
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi wanted to find Shinji Kagawa who assisted him, but Shinji Kagawa had already found him first. When he just turned around, he was knocked to the ground by Shinji Kagawa who was jumping in the air - he was in football. When he crossed the goal line, he was already running towards Zhou Yi.
"Well done, Zhou Sang!!" Shinji Kagawa roared in his ear.
"Hahaha!" Zhou Yi laughed happily.
Next, more Dortmund players rushed from the backcourt and joined in the crazy celebration.
On the sidelines, Klopp grinned and ran along the sideline for more than 20 meters, then jumped high, waved his arms vigorously, and vented his emotions at the San Siro Stadium.
Although Dortmund is still two goals behind, anyone who knows football knows how important Zhou Yi's goal is.
That's an away goal worth thousands of dollars!
The AC Milan players were a little dumbfounded as they watched Dortmund celebrate the goal so excitedly.
Just a minute ago, what they wanted was to score one or two more goals to make the next round of the game lose suspense.
As a result, the suspense has not disappeared now, but has become even more suspenseful!
Damn it!
※※※
Dortmund's players celebrated until the referee reminded them that they should return to their own half.
The Dortmund players then turned around and returned to their own half.
Zhou Yi and his teammates jogged back while waving to the Dortmund fans who came with the team in the stands. The Dortmund fans in the stands naturally responded to them with the warmest cheers.
After the game restarted, Dortmund still tightened its defense.
But this time, AC Milan did not dare to press hard - they saw the quality of Dortmund's defensive counterattack through this conceding goal. If Dortmund scores another goal, AC Milan might be the one who is eliminated in the end...
So although AC Milan is still besieging Dortmund's penalty area, the intensity of the offense has been significantly weakened.
Under such circumstances, they were never able to break through the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.
Of course, it would be impossible for Dortmund to succeed in a sneak attack.
So, when the referee blew the final whistle, the score of the game was fixed at 3:1.
AC Milan defeated Dortmund at home, but this is not considered a revenge success.
Because they haven't eliminated Dortmund yet.
After the game, AC Milan fans sang and danced in the stands to celebrate the victory. AC Milan players were also celebrating. They had won after all. Although a goal was scored in the end, they still had a two-goal lead.
The Dortmund players quickly left the field.
If it weren't for Zhou Yi's goal, this game would be a complete failure for them.
They have to go back and sum up the experience and lessons of this game, and then fight AC Milan to the death at their home court.
Zhouyi's away goal is the reason why they can still do this.
However, although Zhou Yi scored such a key goal in the game.
But not everyone thinks his performance is good.
Many media, especially the Italian media, believe that the reason why Dortmund lost in the end was closely related to Zhou Yi's performance. If Zhou Yi's performance in the first half was better, maybe Dortmund would not collapse in the first half.
Some reporters believe that Klopp relies too much on Zhouyi, which will cause the team to run poorly once Zhouyi is restricted. This problem was vividly reflected in this game. Some people may say that there is nothing wrong with relying on people who are trustworthy, but who can guarantee that Zhou Yi will always be stable in his career and never lose his track? No matter how high the odds are, as long as they exist, there is always concern.
In short, except for the Chinese media and the German media, the media from other countries criticized Zhou Yi's performance in this game more than they praised it.
Although Zhou Yi also scored a goal, the media believed that it was just Zhou Yi making up for it, and he hadn't finished it yet. He only scored one goal after conceding three goals... and still had two goals to go.

"The media reporters are just talking nonsense, they know nothing!" In the group, Sun Pan was angry. He was angry about Zhou Yi.
Because he saw the Spanish media reports.
During a Champions League match between a German team and an Italian team, the Spanish media also joined in the fun and made wild remarks, which made Sun Pan very unhappy. After all, they are criticizing their good friends.
Although they usually quarrel with each other in the group and bicker when they meet, this is a symbol of their close relationship. It does not mean that they can tolerate people outside criticizing their friends.
"The goal lost has nothing to do with Zhou Yi. It's already good for Zhou Yi to score an away goal. I think if it were someone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it..." Guo Nu also felt that the reporter's requirements were too harsh.
"So I think these criticisms are unreasonable and somewhat inexplicable... To say that the performance was not good, of course there were people in Dortmund's team who did not perform well in this game, but it was not Zhou Yi's turn to be criticized by name, right?" Yang Pastoral is weird.
"I think it's because Zhou Yi is becoming more and more famous now, and the chance of being attacked has also increased. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind." He Ying explained. "But don't worry, Zhou Yi's mentality is much better than ours!" (To be continued.)
