Chapter 280 German Blitzkrieg

When Dortmund kicked off, Zhou Yi did not stand in the center circle because he was not an attacking midfielder and had no need to step in and participate in the kick-off.

Dortmund's kick-off was completed by forward Lewandowski and midfielder Shinji Kagawa.

Zhou Yi stood outside the center circle, waiting for the football to be passed.

As the referee blew his whistle, Lewandowski knocked the football away, and Shinji Kagawa followed suit and turned around and passed the football back.

As expected, football fell at Zhou Yi's feet.

When Shinji Kagawa passed the football back, Gotze began to run forward.

However, he was still a little hesitant at first. Looking back, he found that Zhou Yi did not pass the football directly, but continued to pass it back. He knew that Zhou Yi wanted to leave enough time for himself. So he didn't dare to neglect, stopped looking back at the situation behind him, and started to accelerate forward.

After Zhou Yi put the football back on, he quickly looked back and saw Gotze's running back.

So he turned back again and signaled Subotic, who was catching the ball, to pass the football to him.

Zhou Yi greeted Subotic before the game, and Subotic immediately passed the football back.

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he did not turn around and pass forward, but passed it sideways to Sven Bender.

After kicking the football out, he quickly turned his head and looked ahead again to determine Gotze's position. At the same time, although he did not look at Sven Bender, his hands had already made a pass motion to Sven Bender.

When Sven Bender passed the football to him, he had turned his head back just in time to see the football rolling towards him.

He raised his foot to catch the ball and completed his turn at the same time.

At this time, after Dortmund kicked off, including Shinji Kagawa's pass to Zhou Yi, there were only five passes in total.

Five passes, no longer than six seconds.

For a ninety-minute game, six seconds is nothing more than a very short moment.

What can this extremely short moment do?

Barcelona's attacking players had just moved near Dortmund's 30-meter area. Fabregas planned to sneak up on Zhou Yi, steal his ball, and then launch an attack directly.

But just when he rushed up,

Zhou Yi, who was holding the ball, suddenly made a long pass and kicked the football directly towards Barcelona's defense, or to be precise, the space behind Barcelona's defense!

The football passed all obstacles in the air, like a precision-guided missile, flying towards the space behind Barcelona's back line.

Six seconds is enough for a player who is not known for his speed to bypass defenders, pass through several lines of defense, and reach his destination.

As the ball flew through the air, Gotze passed the ball through the gap between Barcelona center backs Mascherano and Dani Alves.

He broke out of the formation and became the leader!

"Mario Gotze!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.

Valdes originally wanted to attack, but he just ran to the penalty spot, but hesitated - Zhou Yi passed the ball very badly. Although it was a powerful long pass, he had control over the placement of the football. But it is very accurate. After the football lands, it will be outside the penalty area and will be closer to Gotze, so Gotze will get the ball earlier.

Of course, if Valdes insists on attacking, it's not impossible, just rush in front of Gotze and block his shooting angle.

But Valdes paused, and this pause gave Gotze an opportunity.

Gotze, who rushed through the back line, looked back and saw the football was falling towards him, so he adjusted his pace and got ready to catch the ball.

He lifted his foot to remove the football from the air and stopped it perfectly. The football landed right in front of his body!

"Götze's beautiful stop! What a great stop!" Marcel Leif couldn't help but praise.

In this kind of counterattack, a good stop is almost half the success of the goal.

Gotze stopped the ball and looked up to observe Valdes.

Valdez happened to be on the penalty spot at this time, and he was in a very embarrassing situation - wanted to continue to move forward? There was not enough time, and the distance was too far. Before he could rush in front of Gotze, the opponent might just hang the door. Pull back? This increases the angle of Gotze's shot, allowing him to take a calm shot...

After only hesitating for half a second, Valdez chose to attack - it would be too stupid to step back in the middle of the attack. He didn't want to make such an amateurish mistake. So at this time, like a pawn crossing the river, Valdez can only move forward, not retreat.

He rushed towards Gotze.

After Gotze observed Valdez's position, there was only one voice in his mind, which came from the words before the Zhouyi game: "Shoot when you have the chance!"

Isn't this an opportunity?

Gotze took a decisive shot!

He did not choose a lob, but chose a low shot. The football flew forward quickly against the turf, not far from Valdez.

But such a shot makes it difficult for Valdes to throw it, because what goalkeepers are most afraid of is throwing ground balls, and what makes them most uncomfortable in ground balls is the kind that is close or far away from their body. The kind of ball that goes far. Because the speed at which goalkeepers fall to the ground is inherently slower than the speed at which they rise into the air, the position relatively close to their bodies is considered a blind spot for fighting with their hands. This is determined by the structure of the human body.

Therefore, those who are more thieves in shooting will choose to play this position.

Sure enough, Valdes was half a beat too slow when he fell to the ground. Before his hand could touch the football, the football had already passed by him!

Now all he can do is pray to God, hoping that the football will be blocked by the goal post or simply deflected...

He looked back at the football, and then watched the football... roll into the net!

"Ah! Ah! The ball went in!!!" Marcel Leif was stunned for a moment and then shouted. "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!"

"Gotze! Shot - the ball went in!" He Ping was also very excited. He is not a fan of Dortmund, nor a fan of Gotze, but he hopes that Dortmund can go further and further, so that Zhou Yi's performance in the Champions League will also be to continue.

"It's unbelievable! It's unbelievable! It was Dortmund who scored first, and it was only eight seconds into the game!" he exclaimed. "This is the fastest goal in the Champions League this season!"

Marcel Leif kept shouting after his voice: "Before the game, everyone thought that Barcelona had an absolute advantage at their home court. But just eight seconds into the game, Barcelona's goal was lost. , this must be beyond the expectations of most people! But I think this is nothing to be surprised about, because this is football and everything is possible!"

The Catalan commentator was confused after losing the ball. He kept asking: "Is this true? How did this happen?"

You can't blame him for making a fuss, but Barcelona's players weren't much better.

Everyone looked confused after losing the ball. They didn't expect that Dortmund would score just after the game started...

What the hell is this!

Gotze was running wildly to celebrate the goal, and Dortmund's players also rushed forward, including Zhou Yi.

They passed through the stunned Barcelona players and caught up with Gotze under the north stand of Camp Nou to celebrate with him.

Gotze turned around, hugged Shang and came to Zhou Yi, thanking him for his assist.

Then he said in his ear: "I found our fans!" He turned around with Zhou Yi in his arms, and then pointed to the top of the north stand.

Zhou Yi followed him and looked up. In an inconspicuous corner at the top of the north stand, there was a small area of ​​​​yellow.

That's the Dortmund fans who came from afar.

They were jumping around, waving their arms, celebrating the goal with the distant Dortmund players.

"Awesome, you found it!" Zhou Yi also said to Gotze happily. "Yes, they look a little hidden..."

"Not only is it a bit hidden, I doubt they can see the game there..." Gotze looked up.

"You can't see our faces or numbers, but at least you can see us scoring goals." Zhou Yi patted Gotze on the shoulder.

"Yes, you can see us score!" Gotze was very happy.

※※※

While the Dortmund players were still celebrating the goal, the TV broadcast was replaying the previous goal.

It was obvious that this ball was instigated by Zhou Yi. After two consecutive passes back and forth in the backcourt, he suddenly accurately found Gotze with a long pass and completed a sneak attack.

The game has only started for eight seconds, and Barcelona's players may not have entered the game state yet.

So was this ball just a lucky break, or was it carefully planned and premeditated?

Thanks to the advanced television broadcasting, the discussion between Zhou Yi and Gotze before the game was recorded on camera. Now the director of the game broadcast quickly cut out this footage.

So everyone can see Zhou Yi communicating with Gotze. After talking, he went to find several other teammates. Among these teammates are Subotic and Sven Bender who passed the ball to him.

Well, it's obvious from here that Dortmund's goal was premeditated!

"This goal proves one thing, that is, Dortmund will definitely not come to Camp Nou to go through the process and accept failure!" Marcel Leif said. "If anyone thinks Dortmund has been eliminated, then they have to watch their faces!" (To be continued.)
