Chapter 211 Counterattack
"Sergio Ramos——!!!" the Spanish commentator roared, "He did it! Beautiful goal! Now the total score is 3:4! Real Madrid is only 3 points away from Wembley. One goal away!”
"Ah, be careful!" As soon as Marcel Leif finished speaking, Ramos kicked the football into the goal. He leaned back on his chair. What he had been worried about happened. In the 88th minute of the game, Real Madrid caught up with only one goal. Although there is not much time left, Real Madrid only needs to score one more goal. And for them, whose morale is now high, it doesn't seem to be difficult to score another goal.
Chinese fans in front of the TV are also very worried. So far, no Chinese player has ever appeared in the Champions League final in history. As the most valuable and technical event, the absence of Chinese players was nothing before. What people care about is that after all, the level of Chinese football at that time was low, and there were no good Chinese players. The overseas players were completely incomparable with those from Japan, South Korea, and Iran. But now that we have so many players who can play the main role or even the core of European teams, it is natural to hope that they will appear in the Champions League final.
After He Ying, Yang Muge and Sun Pan were all eliminated, Zhou Yi shouldered the expectations and sustenance of all Chinese fans.
Everyone hopes that he can become the first player in the history of Chinese football to appear in the Champions League final.
At this time, even if some people are Real Madrid fans, I am afraid they will cheer for Zhou Yi.

As the earth shook at the Bernabeu Stadium, Ramos, who scored the goal, rushed into the goal, fished out the football, and then turned around and ran back. They didn't want to waste a second of their time.
Around him, most of the Dortmund players were stunned. Unexpectedly, they had been on the defensive for more than 80 minutes, but were on the verge of collapse in the last six minutes...
Real Madrid players hope that the Dortmund players' stunned state will last as long as possible, preferably until the end of the game, allowing them to score a few more goals.
But that doesn't mean that all Dortmund players are in a state of confusion.
At this time, Zhou Yi found Gotze and Royce.
Both of them were still feeling the pain of losing the ball, but Zhou Yi took their arms and said, "Hey, wake up. If we continue to defend like this, I guess we will still lose the ball."
The two people who were originally in pain because of losing the ball, when they heard Zhou Yi say this, the expressions on their faces were simply desperate - they want to lose the ball again? Wouldn’t that mean he would be eliminated?
"So we have to think of something,
At the very least, Real Madrid cannot be allowed to attack so unscrupulously. "
The two finally came to their senses. Royce asked Zhou Yi: "What can you do, Zhou Yi?"
"After the kick-off, I will kick the ball first in the backcourt to attract their players, and you two will be waiting on the wings, standing at the front. As long as the time is right, I will pass the football to you. , if you get the ball, you can directly counterattack. At that time, Real Madrid may only have their goalkeeper in the backcourt..."
Zhou Yi told everything about his thoughts.
This plan is fine in theory, but Gotze and Royce are worried about one thing, that is, before Zhou Yi passes the football to them, he has to pass it back and forth in the backcourt, facing Real Madrid's madness in the frontcourt. When pressing, will the ball be intercepted by the opponent before the ball is passed over?
Gotze and Royce looked at each other, and then Royce expressed this concern to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Of course there is a certain risk, but this risk is borne by our backcourt passers. Don't worry so much. Just run to a good position and pay attention to the rules. Once you are offside, you will It's all screwed. We don't have much chance."
Seeing that Zhou Yi was so confident, the two of them naturally couldn't say anything else. Anyway, Zhou Yi was always reliable at critical moments.
※※※
Real Madrid did not give Dortmund much time to breathe. They quickly placed the football in the center circle and waited for the Dortmund players to kick off.
Because Lewandowski had been replaced, Gotze and Royce were taking the kick-off. Zhou Yi stood outside the center circle and signaled Gotze and Royce to slow down and take the kick-off. . Walk slower, slower still, it would be better if you can crawl and walk without taking any cards...
Of course this is impossible.
Gotze and Royce couldn't be as shameless as Zhou Yi, so even though they wanted to delay for a little longer, they quickly came to the center circle and prepared to kick off.
Even so, the Real Madrid fans in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium still booed harshly.
After the two men stood up, Weber blew the kickoff whistle.
This is the 89th minute of the game.
Gotze rubbed the football out, and Royce followed up with a kick and passed the football to Zhou Yi outside the center circle. The boos at the Bernabeu finally stopped and were replaced by cheers for Real Madrid.
At the same time as Gotze kicked off, Real Madrid players rushed out in a swarm, directly passed the center line and rushed to Dortmund's Ben Achang.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema even rushed to Zhouyi, intending to attack from both sides.
Faced with such a battle, Zhou Yi did not pass the football out, but paused and waited for the opponent to get closer to him before he used his heel to pass the football back.
Just when he passed the football back, Ronaldo rushed to him... If it had been a little later, Zhou Yi might not have been able to pass the ball.
So after Zhou Yi passed the ball, there was a burst of exclamation in the Bernabeu stands - because the pass was too close to Cristiano Ronaldo's attack, many Real Madrid fans even thought that the ball was The Portuguese poked it away...but the end result was just that they were happy in vain.
After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not run forward, but stretched horizontally, found an opening and asked for the ball.
His teammates passed the football to him again, and he quickly passed the football away, then ran to the next place and continued to prepare to meet his teammates.
Zhou Yi is not the only one who will face the pressing of Real Madrid players, other Dortmund players will also face the pressure, so this is not only a high requirement for Zhou Yi's passing and receiving ability, but also for other Dortmund players.
However, this requirement cannot be considered high, because in Dortmund's Brackel training base, the small black room called "Footbonaut" trains this ability.
After two seasons of continuous training, Dortmund players have greatly improved their passing and receiving abilities in high-intensity and fast-paced confrontations.
Especially later, Klopp upgraded the "Footbonaut" training method. It was no longer just one person passing and receiving the ball, but also added defensive players, which greatly increased the difficulty.
The Dortmund players trained in this way have significantly improved their passing and receiving abilities when facing pressing situations, and they have also developed their psychological quality very well.
The value of the training received by Dortmund's players showed in the final minutes against Real Madrid.
Facing the pressing pressure of Real Madrid players, their passing and receiving were very stable.
While Zhou Yi was participating in this kind of reverse kick, he did not forget to turn his head to observe the situation in the frontcourt.
He saw Real Madrid players gradually pressing forward as Dortmund fell behind. After Coentrao left the field, Essien, Varane and Ramos formed a three-back defense. But in the final stage of the game, Ramos moved forward to become a center forward, and Essien moved forward to form a double midfielder with Khedira. This freed up Modric and allowed him to move further forward. , supporting the attack with Ozil and Di Maria. Khedira often rushes to the frontcourt to defend Zhou Yi, so in fact, Essien is the only real midfielder most of the time.
But in this case, Real Madrid's only serious defender is Varane...
Although Varane is a very talented young player, no matter how powerful one person is, he cannot cover the entire second half.
If Varane dominates the center circle, there will inevitably be a lot of space on both sides.
This is why Zhou Yi asked Gotze and Royce to pay attention to their activities on the wing.
During the observation, Zhou Yi also noticed that Gotze and Royce would occasionally participate in counterattacks, but their positions were relatively advanced. If they wanted to fight back, they could quickly get involved.
The time has come.
Zhou Yi ran to the next contact point. When he got to the back, he did not ask for the ball immediately. Instead, he adjusted his body from back to the offensive direction to side to the offensive direction, while his front was facing Royce's right wing position. Why not Gotze? Because Zhou Yi is now on the right side of Gotze, there is a space here. If he catches the ball after running over, this will definitely become the focus of the defense of the Real Madrid players. Although the football is now on the right, when the football is passed to the left When the road comes, everyone in Real Madrid will also move to the left, so that there will be space on the right.
Zhou Yi was waiting for this opportunity.
After adjusting, he raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Gundogan quickly passed the football over.
Sure enough, as he expected, with the transfer of football, Real Madrid's defensive focus is also shifting towards him. Among them, Khedira ran particularly fast. He almost came to Zhou Yi with the football.
Zhou Yi's left foot made a movement to catch the ball. When he was about to touch the ball, he suddenly buckled his ankle and gently bounced the football back to his right foot. At the same time, Khedira's foot also When he reached it, he missed it!
After Zhou Yi knocked the football back with his left foot, he quickly jumped up and avoided Khedira's rush.
He is trying to get rid of Khedira!
How could Khedira easily let Zhou Yi get his wish?
Although the man rushed over due to inertia, his hand was still trailing behind, grabbing Zhou Yi's clothes and preventing him from dribbling the ball away.
But Zhou Yi had no intention of dribbling the ball at all. After dodging Khedira, he directly took off his right foot and passed the football to the right!
The football jumped into the air and flew to the right wing, where Royce was advancing at high speed!
The football landed not far in front of Royce. It slowed down a bit and bounced again, even slower. Royce caught up with the football like a gust of wind and drove the ball towards Real Madrid's goal!
"Reus!!! Well done! Dortmund's counterattack! Real Madrid's goal is in danger!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
