Buvac was surprised after seeing the team's performance on the sidelines. He did not expect that Dortmund, who was missing one man, did not look very embarrassed in the face of Barcelona's fierce offensive.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Dortmund's defense is very resilient and... not surprised by changes.

Seeing the team's performance like this, Buvac felt relieved - at least he didn't have to worry about conceding the ball soon.

Now he can do well in the exam and think about what to do next.

This substitution is very important because it will determine the guiding ideology of the team in the future.

If he replaces an offensive player, it will have a negative impact on the team's offensive enthusiasm. If he subbed out a defensive player, it might look like he was trying to burn the boat...

burn one's boats?

Suddenly a light went on in Buvac's head.

At this time, if it were Klopp, what would he do?

Buvac glanced back into the stands and saw that Klopp was also staring nervously at the pitch.

He thought about it carefully. If it were Klopp, what decision would he make?

With his knowledge of Klopp, it's not difficult.

Klopp is not the kind of coach who follows the rules, nor is he the kind of passive and conservative coach.

If necessary, he can surprise people to the extreme.

He dares to take risks and is willing to take responsibility, so he often reaps more and more generous rewards than ordinary people.

Sometimes, you have to take risks...

Thinking of this, Buvac made a decision.

He replaced Sven Bender with Felipe Santana.

This decision seemed unfathomable to many commentators.

"Replacing a defensive midfielder with a central defender, does this strengthen the defense? What is the significance of such a substitution?"

"This is the impact of Klopp being sent to the stands. If Klopp stayed on the sidelines to direct the team, he would never make such a stupid substitution adjustment!"

“It can be seen from this substitution,

Dortmund has already lost..."

Commentators from all over the world are commenting on this substitution.

Even Marcel Leif was worried: "A central defender was replaced by a midfielder. Dortmund is still thinking about attacking... But facing Barcelona, ​​there is one less defensive player in the midfield. They still have How long can it last? Once Barcelona scores another goal, this game will be completely over..."

※※※

When Sven Bender was substituted, Buvac pulled him to comfort him: "You did a good job, Sven. But now we have to attack."

Sven Bender nodded to express his understanding. At this time, as long as you don't want to lose, you really have to attack. There's nothing to say. He always obeys the coach's instructions.

After Santana ran onto the court to check in, he brought to the players acting head coach Buvac's arrangements for the team's next move.

A very simple sentence.

Santana pointed at Zhou Yi and shouted to everyone: "The coach said, how to play, just listen to Zhou Yi!"

No one objected, and no one was surprised. The coaching staff just handed over almost all power to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi just led everyone to deal with Barcelona's offense and did a very good job. Everyone believes in him.

※※※

When the game restarted, Barcelona had some changes - they saw that Dortmund replaced the only defensive midfielder, and they must have ideas.

Although Zhou Yi is a defensive midfielder, he is not good at defense. Gundogan is both offensive and defensive, but from another perspective, neither offense nor defense is particularly good. Compared with Sven Bender, who specializes in defense, Gundogan's defensive ability is indeed a bit worse.

As a result, Dortmund's midfield defensive hardness plummeted, while Barcelona's midfield was already very strong. It would not be difficult for Barcelona to score another goal.

Now Barcelona only needs to score one more goal and the total score is 3:1. The suspense of this game will be over. Dortmund will never have any chance to turn around anyway.

Therefore, when the game restarted, Barcelona's offensive became more intense, and it was Santana's point. It seemed like he wanted to overwhelm Santana while he was just coming on the scene and before he had a firm foothold.

It is true that many players have not yet entered the game state after they have just come on the field, and they are prone to making some mistakes.

But such a situation did not happen to Santana.

He was very solid.

When it was Dortmund's turn to possess the ball, they did not directly drive the football forward like other teams did when facing Barcelona, ​​keeping the football as far away from their defense zone as possible. Instead, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, he used fast and accurate passing to control the situation.

Barcelona faced Dortmund's fast passing, and their frontcourt rush didn't work. Dortmund players, including Zhou Yi, could always pass the football before they surrounded them...

In this way, the Barcelona players will turn to the next Dortmund player to receive the ball. It looks like the Barcelona players were led away by Dortmund's pass.

Although Sven Bender is gone, Dortmund's midfield defensive hardness has not dropped much...

Sometimes, Barcelona's siege allowed Dortmund players to pass the football to goalkeeper Weidenfeller, but this did not allow them to score.

If Dortmund's defense gave them the impression of a wall before, then now Dortmund's defense gives Barcelona players the feeling of a very dense net. Their offense can deform and distort this net, but it cannot break it. This net, all the power is trapped in this net.

But facing this net, Barcelona's players had an illusion - that with a little more strength, they could break through this thin net.

So they continued to siege Dortmund players in the frontcourt and midfield.

In Zhou Yi's view, clues of opportunities have appeared, but they are not the best opportunities yet. He still needs to patiently observe and wait.

Because this kind of opportunity is hard to come by, you have to pay attention to the one-hit kill. If you can't score the goal in the first time, I'm afraid it won't be easy next time. With Barcelona's ability to control the ball, as long as they control the football and don't attack, they can drag the 2:1 score to the end of the game.

But we can't wait too long. Because as the game time goes by, Barcelona is not stupid. If they see that they can no longer break Dortmund's goal, they will choose a more pragmatic approach and start to pay more attention to control and defense.

So in fact, the window period for Dortmund to score a goal is very short. If you wait patiently, you may be waiting for the opponent to recover, and you will miss the opportunity.

This is a test of Zhou Yi's brain's decision-making ability.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Yi had his own way.

If you keep waiting blindly, you may not be able to wait for a better opportunity until the end, so what should you do if you want a better opportunity?

Of course he took the initiative to create it!

Zhou Yi decided to make a more risky and bold move. He will no longer stay in the backcourt and complete the long pass. He will participate more deeply in the team's offense.

Defensive counterattack is not just a method of long pass!

When the football was passed to Zhou Yi's feet again, Keita pounced on him.

Facing Keita's aggressive tackle, Zhou Yi did not pass the football. In the eyes of outsiders, Kate rushes in fiercely, with a menacing attitude, and comes with bad intentions. But in Zhou Yi's view, there are almost flaws all over.

Maybe he didn't take himself seriously, or he felt that he could only be forced to pass the ball.

But this time, Zhou Yi has to make a slightly different choice.

Facing the rushing Keita, Zhou Yi gently pulled the football to the left with his right foot.

Keita missed the mark.

An extremely simple movement actually shook Keita away, and everyone present was surprised.

Including Keita.

But Zhou Yi didn't, and he had no time to be complacent.

After he pulled the football to the left with his right foot, he followed up with his left foot and pushed the football forward to the left. At the same time, he jumped up and got out of the way of Keita, who couldn't stop the car.

After landing, Zhou Yi accelerated and caught up with the football. He dribbled the ball forward and broke through!

Barcelona players rushed over from all directions to surround Zhou Yi.

At this time, Zhou Yi stopped dribbling the ball forward. He quickly passed the football to Gundogan not far away. After passing the ball, he did not stop, but continued to run forward.

Gundogan passed the football to Piszczek on the wing, and Zhou Yi had already run diagonally in front of Piszczek.

Piszczek passed the football to Zhou Yi again.

It was all a pass, and no one stopped the ball to adjust, so Barcelona was surrounded by a circle. Only one pass can ensure that the football is not intercepted midway.

Zhou Yi also passed the ball with one kick after receiving the ball, and passed the football to Shinji Kagawa without stopping.

Then he walked around Shinji Kagawa and ran forward.

When he went around Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Kagawa knocked the football to him with his heel. Facing the football knocked by Shinji Kagawa, Zhou Yi directly kicked the football towards the center, and Lewandowski, who retreated to support, received the ball.

At this time, Dortmund had already attacked Barcelona's 30-meter area!

In just a few passes and six seconds, Dortmund changed from defense to offense, and even threatened Barcelona's goal!

"This is Dortmund's counterattack!" Marcel Leif shouted, excitement in his voice.

"Dortmund's quick counterattack has reached the core of Barcelona!" He Ping was also very excited.

Huge boos rang out from the sky above the Nou Camp. The boos were to put pressure on the Dortmund players, but they could also be understood as... a dying struggle! (To be continued.)
