Champion’s Heart

Chapter 115 Total Suppression

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!! What a great shot! It looked so relaxed and comfortable, but it pierced Arsenal's heart!" He Ping was very excited. "In the first Champions League game after returning from injury, I scored a goal! This is really the best return of the king!!"

In the stands, Dortmund fans jumped high and launched into thunderous cheers. They waved their arms and chanted Zhou Yi's name, setting off a storm in the stands of the West Stadium.

Amid their cheers, the Arsenal fans fell silent.

"Ah... we finally conceded the goal! In fact, when Arsenal was being beaten all the time, the situation was already very dangerous..." The British commentator sighed. "But I really didn't expect that this goal would be scored by Zhou Yi..."

Marcel Leif felt pity for the result of the last round: "It is conceivable that if Klopp had taken Zhou Yi to London when they were playing Arsenal away from home, would there have been a last-minute siege against Arsenal? What about not scoring a goal?"

This is something that many Arsenal fans are worried about.

But no matter what, the last game is over, and no matter how upset you are, it can't change the result.

Let’s enjoy the joy now…

Zhou Yi's goal helped Dortmund take a one-goal lead, and many Dortmund fans' hearts dropped into their stomachs. This game can be said to be a key battle that Dortmund cannot afford to lose. Now that Zhou Yi has scored and Dortmund is leading, many fans are looking forward to a victory.

After the game restarted, Dortmund did not relax just because they were ahead. They continued to besiege Arsenal's goal, hoping to score more goals in a short period of time.

In the 30th minute, Zhou Yi distributed the football to the right wing. After receiving the ball, Royce attracted Arsenal's defensive attention and then passed the football to Grosskreutz, who was in the penalty area. A pass from the right into the penalty area. Aubameyang volleyed a shot from nine meters in front of the goal, and the football missed the right post.

The Arsenal fans in front of the TV were so shocked that they broke into a cold sweat.

In the 37th minute, Dortmund launched a quick counterattack. Zhou Yi directly passed the football diagonally from the backcourt to Mark who was pulling to the right. Mark had just received the ball and planned to take the football forward, so he passed the football forward. When he went out, he was knocked to the ground by Arsenal's defensive players...

This was originally a foul action, and there were loud boos in the stands.

But the referee didn't say anything, because Royce had already stepped in at high speed, passed around the fallen Mark, and caught up with the football in front.

In this case, of course we should adhere to the principle of offensive advantage and let the game continue to flow smoothly.

After Royce received the ball, it was almost a one-man attack, so Arsenal's defensive focus naturally shifted towards him. Immediately, two Arsenal players pounced on him, trying to stop Royce or force him to the wing so that he could not directly threaten Arsenal's goal.

Royce is also smart and knows that if he continues to dribble forward, he is not completely sure that he can get rid of Arsenal's defense. It did attract two Arsenal defensive players, which means that Arsenal's defense cannot be as tight elsewhere. So he decisively passed the football to the center.

Aubameyang, who cut inside to the center, received Royce's pass and put the football into the penalty area!

At this time, there were no Arsenal players around him!

"Aubameyang! Chance for Dortmund!"

Aubamey raised his foot and shot amid chants from Marcel Leif.

Szczesny jumped sideways and did not touch the football, but the football did not fly into the goal, but missed the left goal post...

"Ahhh! Aubameyang! He missed an excellent opportunity!" He Ping held his head in his hands in the studio behind and shouted with great regret.

Aubameyang himself felt regretful, covering his face as he watched the football fly out of the goal.

Klopp also seemed dissatisfied with Aubameyang's missed opportunity. He waved his fist vigorously off the court and complained endlessly: "He should be calmer! He can definitely do better. !”

Although Dortmund's situation is very good now, Klopp always has a faint worry, which may be due to his professional habits. He knows that just one goal lead is not enough. In this kind of master matchup, the gap of one goal is not a huge gap. If Dortmund does not seize the opportunity to score more goals, it may give Arsenal a hard time. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Don't look at the game so far, Arsenal haven't even had a shot. But who knows if they will penetrate Dortmund's goal with their first shot?

As the head coach of Dortmund, Klopp has to think more and imagine some worse situations.

However, Dortmund fans at this time absolutely cannot understand the mood of their head coach. Even if Aubameyang wastes this opportunity, they will just sigh and continue to cheer for the team.

Dortmund's performance at their home court made them very happy. They completely suppressed Arsenal and prevented Arsenal from even taking a shot. What a huge advantage!

With such advantages, what else do we have to worry about?

Dortmund has the advantage on the court, and Dortmund's players also feel that they are in good condition, and everyone is fighting very actively on the court. Even Mark, the center, constantly intercepts opponents on the court and steals the ball at their feet. This kind of counterattack in the frontcourt further consolidates Dortmund's advantage on the field.

In the 42nd minute, Mark even received a yellow card for intercepting the ball from Ramsey's feet.

This shows how excited the Dortmund players are now.

In the 44th minute, it was Aubameyang again. After receiving a pass from Svend on the left wing, he suddenly cut inside, and then took a long shot from 30 meters away from the goal!

The football missed the near post.

Not long after that, the first half was over.

Although no more goals were scored in the second half of the first half, Dortmund fans still gave warm applause to the team's performance in the first half.

Even the commentators thought Dortmund's first half was perfect.

"The first half is over! Dortmund completely controlled the situation, continuously formed threatening shots, and Zhou Yi opened the scoring for the team. In this first half, Dortmund performed very well. If they can show it in every game With such a performance, how could he be ranked third in the Champions League group stage?"

"Dortmund's performance in this game can be described as completely transformed compared to before. Their only change is Zhou Yi's return. This shows how important Zhou Yi is to the team..." He Ping's focus is of course still on Zhou Yi. On the body. "With one goal and many threatening attacks, Zhou Yi's return to the Champions League was very successful! If they can play like this in the second half, then it's not a question of whether Dortmund will win or not, but how many goals they win. thing……"

The Dortmund players came off quite relaxed, while the Arsenal players frowned and were worried, even their head coach Arsene Wenger.

If Arsenal lose to Dortmund away from home, their hopes of qualifying early will be dashed.

The British commentator is also worried about Arsenal: "Arsenal's performance in the first half can be described as sleepwalking as a team. The team did not have a shot in the entire first half and was completely suppressed by Dortmund. I don't know How Wenger arranged the tactics before the game, but judging from the actual results, at least his restrictions on Zhou Yi had no effect. Zhou Yi, who returned from injury, showed amazing performance. He had no adaptation period at all. It’s back to its peak state...and Arsenal seems to be a little unprepared for this..."

In a match of the level between Dortmund and Arsenal, one side cannot even take a shot, which can indeed be said to be an advantage.

In turn, Arsenal's performance was indeed too bad.

Now looking back at the first half, all I can think of are clips of Dortmund besieging Arsenal... Under such circumstances, Arsenal only conceded one goal, which was so lucky.

In the dressing room, while Dortmund's players were delighted, the smile on Klopp's face was not evident.

He is telling his players not to be happy too early.

"You only lead by one goal, what's there to be happy about? Yes, yes, we didn't let them have a shot in the first half, but wait until you don't let them have a shot in the whole game. Then you'll be happy. The football game is It is divided into two halves. No matter how good you perform in the first half, it cannot determine your performance in the second half. So don't be too happy. In the second half, you must also perform like the first half and concentrate 100%. Absolutely Don’t give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of you!”

At the same time, in the dressing room next door, Wenger was also encouraging his players.

"...We were just one goal behind. We were beaten by them in the first half, but only conceded one goal. This is a good thing. Of course our performance in the first half was very bad, but thinking about it the other way around, the opponent will definitely lose because of the above. We had a poor performance in the first half and let our guard down. In this way, the second half is our opportunity. So don't give up, things are not beyond redemption yet..."
