Chapter 52 Happiness and Confusion

Although Zhou Yi was very confident, everyone still had another interpretation of the confidence he showed. They believed that Zhou Yi was deliberately acting confident, but in fact he was tough on the outside but tough on the inside. ． Fastest update

Because no one believes that Zhou Yi can still be in good condition, he probably doesn't even have much time to practice with the team, and there is even less targeted training.

How could he be in good condition under such circumstances?

Chelsea head coach Mourinho holds this view.

He didn't think Zhou Yi was really as confident as he was.

No matter how you analyze it, the situation is not good for Zhou Yi.

This is a good opportunity for Chelsea and myself.

Returning to Chelsea, Mourinho hopes to use a championship to stage a "return of the king" show.

He was injured at Real Madrid, Chelsea is willing to accept him, of course he must bring championships and glory to Chelsea.

When being interviewed before the game, he appeared very confident.

"We came all the way to Prague not just for tourism." He said.

The implication is that they are here for the Super Bowl.

Klopp also made corresponding arrangements for Zhou Yi's special situation. His response was to maintain the original tactical policy unchanged, and did not make any special arrangements for Chelsea because of this game. In this way, there will be no problem of re-integration of the team, and there will be a seamless connection between others and Zhou Yi.

Minimize the impact of Zhou Yi not having time to practice together and adapt to the venue.

Of course, there is a risk in doing so. That is, if Chelsea makes targeted arrangements, Dortmund will appear to be unable to adapt and can only respond to changes by staying the same. It will not be good whether they can withstand the situation by then. Already...

Although Klopp is worried, there is no better way.

No one knew that Zhou Yi had no big words or bluffs.

Because he has played against Chelsea dozens of times every night in his sleep, he is very familiar with this opponent.

That's what he meant by "sleeping well."

The European Super Cup will kick off at 2:45 a.m. on August 31, which is the same time as the Champions League.

Chinese fans are very used to staying up late to watch the Champions League and La Liga.

The local time is Prague's kick-off at 8:45 pm. Prague is in the East District 1, and there is a seven-hour time difference from the background in the East District 8. Now that Prague has implemented daylight saving time, the time difference has shrunk to six hours. For Europeans, this is a good time to watch football.

At 8:45pm in the summer, the temperature is not that high, making it suitable for outdoor sports.

This game, because Chelsea eliminated Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-finals in the 2011-2012 season, was also considered by some media to be Dortmund's revenge game.

At the beginning of the new season, Dortmund performed well, winning four consecutive league games and ranking first in the Bundesliga standings.

Dortmund, who lost Gotze and Lewandowski, seemed unaffected. The newly introduced foreign aid Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan also performed well.

Mourinho's Chelsea played three rounds of the Premier League in the new season, with two wins and one draw, ranking second with seven points.

In a league game that just ended, they tied 0:0 with Manchester United away from home.

At this time, the "Red Devils" Manchester United had changed their heads. Legendary coach Ferguson retired and was replaced by former Everton coach Moyes.

Whether it is Dortmund or Chelsea, both teams remain undefeated in their respective leagues and maintain a good level of competition.

So before the game even started, everyone was expecting it to be a high-level showdown, just like last season's Champions League final. The battle between Dortmund and Bayern Munich was very enjoyable for fans to watch.

However, due to injuries, the lineups of both teams are not at their strongest yet.

Chelsea captain John Terry is rested for this game, and Brazilian center back Ruiz returns. The German international Schurrle played as a right winger in this game. Mourinho obviously hopes that Schurrle, who has played in the Bundesliga, can help Chelsea face Dortmund better.

For Dortmund, Gundogan and Piszczek both missed the game due to injuries. Although Zhou Yi did not get enough rest, he was still arranged to appear. Another Chinese player, Yan Min, is in the substitute lineup, but the hope of playing in the game is very slim. This game is not a league, and there is no regulation on the number of substitutes. In theory, both teams can use the entire first team They all moved here, there are so many substitute players, but there are only three substitutions, so the probability that Yan Min wants to play is not high.

Now the Chinese media is not paying much attention to whether Yan Min can play in this game. They have recognized the reality through so many games that Yan Min is not in Klopp's top priority. He is still far away from the requirements for playing... Being able to receive high-level training in Dortmund, everyone feels that Yan Min is not a top priority. It's been great to come.

Players from both sides walked out of the field amidst the cheers of the fans, then lined up to take photos, shook hands with each other, and guessed...

After a series of necessary procedures were carried out, they stood in their respective positions, waiting for the game to begin.

With the referee's whistle, the European Super Cup began.

Just two minutes into the game, Grosskreutz, who replaced the injured Piszczek as the right back in this game, made a cross near the right sideline. Mark headed the ball in the penalty area, but the result was slightly wide.

"Mark! What a pity!" Marcel Leif exclaimed. "The game has just started and Dortmund has a chance to directly threaten Chelsea's goal!"

Mark, who didn't push in, was also very upset, so he slapped her hard.

However, Chelsea also changed colors quickly. In the fourth minute, Hazard shot a low ball with his right foot from outside the penalty area. The missed ball rolled directly out of the baseline.

Both sides had a shot that did not hit the goal frame.

Both teams were in the game right from the start, which meant that the game certainly wasn't going to be a slow game. This made the commentators and fans very happy.

In the sixth minute, Ruiz and Aubameyang clashed during the fight. Fortunately, the two were pulled away by the referee in time during the quarrel, otherwise they might have been bullied...

"Both players need to control their anger. There was a conflict just after the game started. If there were less players, the excitement of the game would be greatly reduced..." CCTV commentator He Ping said. Since it is a Chinese derby, of course he must abide by his neutrality, at least when it comes to showing it.

From a neutral perspective, of course we don’t want to unbalance the game.

Fortunately, the conflict between Ruiz and Aubameyang did not expand or extend, and the game returned to normal.

Not long after the conflict ended, in the seventh minute, Zhou Yi picked up the ball in the midfield. At that time, he was facing the right wing, and Chelsea midfielder Ramirez rushed up to steal the ball.

Zhou Yi pulled the football to the left with his right foot and dodged Ramirez's foot. At the same time, Zhou Yi pulled the football to the left with his left foot and turned around. From facing the right wing, I adjusted to facing the left wing. At this time, there was a huge gap on the left wing, and Royce was driving forward at high speed!

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yi took up his right foot and passed the football diagonally.

The football flew forward quickly against the turf, but it did not roll directly to Royce's feet. Zhou Yi's kick sent the football near the corner of the penalty area. As long as Royce can catch the ball, he can directly turn this attack into a solo attack!

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yi's pass, Royce cut inside and accelerated to catch up with the football!

"Zhou Yi! Beautiful escape and transfer! Royce formed a single-handed attack!"

Royce received the ball and shot in the penalty area!

At this moment, many Chelsea fans were really frightened, because Dortmund's offensive opportunity was so good...

Sun Pan decisively abandoned the goal and attacked.

And just when Sun Pan abandoned the goal, Royce also took a shot. He obviously didn't want Sun Pan to block the angle of his shot. It was originally an oblique angle, and the angle was not as big as when he was facing the goal. If Sun Pan was allowed to shoot, If Pan is blocked in front of him, there will be no shooting angle.

In the Champions League last season, Royce and Sun Pan played against each other. He knew this person's strength very well. If he hesitated a little, he might have lost the best opportunity.

The ball shot by Royce headed towards the far corner, but it did not finally reach its destination. On the way, it was knocked away with a fist by Sun Pan, who was throwing himself sideways!

The football hit by Sun Pan flew far out of the penalty area and happened to pass by Dortmund forward Mark who was rushing forward to connect. Mark jumped up and tried to top the ball for a follow-up shot, but the difference was too far and he didn't hit it at all. …

The football flew out of the penalty area and landed at Lampard's feet, and the crisis was averted.

This is why Sun Pan chose to play with his fists instead of hitting the ball with his palms like other goalkeepers. When he struck out, he noticed Mark's forward thrust. He was worried that if his palms could not fully contact the football, he would not be able to make a save when he was saving. Once the ball is not exerted, the football may be left in the penalty area, which will give Mark a chance to make a supplementary shot. So he simply chose to punch outwards with his fists.

Of course, this is risky. After all, the contact area of ​​​​the fist is smaller than that of the palm, and in order to exert force, there is also a hitting action. In that electric moment, this hitting action seems a bit redundant and may cause the fist to Missing football. This is not a very safe plan. The safe way is to block it directly with your hands. If you can block the first blow, it is very good. As for the possible second blow, many goalkeepers cannot think that much at all...

But talented people are bold. Sun Pan accurately judged that Royce was going to hit the far corner. When he saw Royce shooting, he threw himself outwards. His body drove his arms to rush outwards without waving his arms. By itself, it can have the effect of hitting, so Sun Pan succeeded!

"Sun Pan! What a great save! His movements are so fast!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

As a Chinese commentator, he is both happy and confused about this game. The happiness is of course because he can see the duel between two high-level Chinese players, but the confusion is because he doesn’t know who should win...
