Chapter 82 Rival Arsenal

In the evening, Zhou Yi and his parents sat in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast of the game.

But at this time, the game has not started yet. The TV was still very lively, with reporters from the front sending reports and analysis and comments from the studio behind.

Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun still don’t understand German. It’s difficult for them to learn English now, let alone speak German.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi was around to give them a simple translation.

"Are they talking about you?" Zhou Jianliang could barely recognize "Zhouyi" because it was repeated several times on TV.

Zhou Yi nodded: "If you say I don't go, it will have a lot of impact on Dortmund."

"Then I know what they said, it's more bad than good." Zhou Jianliang said.

Zhou Yi laughed when he heard his father say this.

Because that’s what it means.

The German backstage studio is not very optimistic about Dortmund's away trip. The reason is that Zhou Yi did not go to London with the team.

"... Wenger said before the game that Zhou Yi did not participate in this game. He was sorry... I think he was lying. His true thoughts deep down must be happiness! I am happy that Zhou Yi did not go to London!" TV The guest inside said.

The host also laughed.

"But I think Dortmund fans don't have to worry too much. At least after this game, Zhou Yi's chances of coming back will be greatly increased..." After he finished laughing, he comforted the Dortmund fans.

Zhou Jianliang is actually a little worried.

He asked his son: "I said that if you defend the championship this season, you won't even be able to get out of the group stage, right?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said firmly: "How is it possible? The Champions League group stage has just begun..."

"Don't think I don't understand. After this game against Arsenal, half of the Champions League group stage is over. If Dortmund loses the away game, it means two defeats. It will be really difficult to qualify in the end." As a senior fan, Zhou Jianliang sneered at his son's comfort.

"Of course it's difficult, but in the end we qualified." Zhou Yi was very confident. "I don't know if we can defend the title, but I definitely won't go home after the group stage. Besides, the game against Arsenal hasn't started yet. What if we win in the end?"

"I don't think so..." Zhou Jianliang snorted. His son was so important to the team, so he said nothing. Of course he was not optimistic about Dortmund winning away games. Arsenal is not just a soft persimmon...

When Yan Min was warming up before the game, he noticed that his teammates around him were not in a very high mood.

On the one hand, this is an away game, and on the other hand, it may be because Zhou Yi is not here.

Zhou Yi had already practiced with the team before, and everyone was very happy, waiting for Zhou Yi to return to the court. They are very optimistic about Zhou Yi's participation in this Champions League game.

As a result, news suddenly came that Zhou Yi would not go to London...

Yan Min could understand their feelings - a person whom they had placed their hopes on suddenly disappeared, and everyone's hopes no longer knew where to place them.

But Yan Min does not agree with this concept.

He respects Zhou Yi very much, especially after coming to Dortmund and experiencing Zhou Yi's help to him personally.

But he never regarded Zhou Yi as a savior.

Zhou Yi cannot decide whether he can play, it depends on his personal training and warm-up match performance.

Zhou Yi cannot decide whether he performs well on the court. If he is in a sluggish state and is sleepwalking, even if Zhou Yi gives him more passes, they will all be squandered...

So when you get to the court, whether you can win or not and how you perform depends entirely on yourself, not others.

Don't think you will lose just because Zhou Yi is not here.

His fighting spirit was not affected by Zhou Yi's absence.

But it is a pity that no matter how high Yan Min's fighting spirit is. He didn't get a chance to start in this game.

When the game started, he and his teammates sat on the bench and watched.

Dortmund played well at the beginning of this game.

In the 16th minute, Mark assisted and Mkhitaryan opened the scoring for the team.

Taking the lead on the road!

The bench was excited and the atmosphere was much better.

But then, Hummels received a yellow card in defense. As a central defender, he received a yellow card less than half an hour into the game. This is definitely a disadvantage.

Sure enough, in the 41st minute, Arsenal opened a gap from Hummels' side. Hummels, who had a yellow card, was obviously more cautious in his actions when defending, which gave Arsenal a chance. .

When Arsenal center Giroud jumped in the air, Hummels didn't even dare to make a move underneath.

He was suspended for one game because of a red card in the league. If he also gets a red card in the Champions League, he might be the main culprit for losing...

Although we haven’t lost yet, we can’t help but consider the possibility…

The result was a superb header from Giroud, which Weidenfeller couldn't save and the ball sailed into the goal.

Arsenal equalized the score!

When Arsenal scored, Yan Min could feel the mood of everyone on the bench falling. Everyone held their heads and said nothing.

※※※

"Ah!" Zhou Jianliang sighed with regret in front of the TV. Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, Arsenal equalized...

"Hummels didn't dare to make any moves..." On the TV, commentator Marcel Leif was criticizing Hummels' defense just now. "Sometimes he seems too reckless, like when he took the card just now. Sometimes he seems too cautious, like this time he lost the ball!"

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and said nothing. As a Dortmund player, he certainly does not want to see his team lose consecutive games.

Although this can prove his importance to the team... Zhou Yi feels that his importance does not need to be proven through such things!

He still hopes that the team can win Arsenal away from home.

During the halftime break, Yan Min did not enter the locker room. He and other substitute players were led by assistant coach Buvac outside to continue warming up. They did not know what adjustments Klopp had made in the locker room.

After the start of the second half, Dortmund did not make any substitutions.

Arsenal was the first to make substitutions.

Wilshere was injured in the 57th minute and was replaced by Cazorla a minute later.

"...This should be good news for Dortmund. Wilshere has performed well this season, making seven starts in the league and scoring two goals. His injury is a positive sign for Arsenal's midfield strength. It’s a bad influence…” Marcel Leif said hopefully.

But Arsenal, who was forced to make early substitutions due to Wilshere's injury, scored again later!

In the 64th minute, Dortmund gave Arsenal a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt because Mark fouled Ozil in defense.

Ozil personally took the free kick.

"Ozil..." Marcel Leif briefly introduced as the football was placed in the German midfield. "He joined Arsenal at the last moment before the transfer window closed this summer. He is considered by Arsenal fans to be the key figure in ending Arsenal's embarrassing record of eight years without a championship..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ozil also placed the football, and then he stepped back and prepared to run.

This is a free kick to the left, about thirty-three meters away from the goal.

From a positional point of view, this ball should be more effective when passed to teammates.

Arsenal's players also gathered on the line of the penalty area, ready to rush in and grab points.

There are three people in the Dortmund wall in front of Ozil. There are not many people in this wall. Everyone's defensive focus is on the penalty area to defend those Arsenal players who are preparing to grab points.

Ozil, who takes the free kick, is left-footed, and the free kick is to the left, so left-footed Ozil should pass the ball to the goal with his left foot.

But after the referee blew the whistle, Ozil did not kick the football towards the crowded crowd. After he kicked the football with his left foot, the football circled around the outside of the wall and went straight to the near corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who was standing at the far end, was caught off guard. When he saw the football coming around the outside of the wall, he rushed out.

As a result, the football flew into the goal before he could pounce on it, and then he almost hit the goal post!

The ball went in!

Arsenal overtook the score 2:1!
