Chapter 152 Kill This Game

When Zhou Yi suddenly passed the football into the penalty area, Park Joo-ho, who was standing in front of him and very close, did not react at all - he did not expect that Zhou Yi would pass the ball at this time without any warning.

By the time he realized it, the football had already passed between his legs. He reflexively clamped his legs, but nothing was clamped.

When the football was passed, Mainz goalkeeper Karius discovered that the football was passed to a very dangerous place by Zhou Yi, so he decisively abandoned the goal and planned to block any possible shots.

At the same time, Aubameyang also broke out of the crowd!

Aubameyang caught up with the football earlier than Karius, and then he moved the football to the left with his left foot!

Karius fell to the ground and reached out to save the ball, expanding the defensive area on the ground. But he was still shaken away by Aubameyang and did not touch the football.

Aubameyang jumped up and passed Karius, then caught up with the football, then twisted and shot!

At this time, Mainz's goal was completely open to him!

"Aubameyang——!!!!" In Marcel Leif's protracted roar, the football flew into the goal without any suspense!

"Dortmund takes the lead again! Only four minutes have passed since their last goal! They scored consecutive goals in a short period of time!"

After Aubameyang scored, he ran towards Zhou Yi who passed the ball to him, and the two hugged each other again.

This is Aubameyang's second goal in this game, and both goals were assisted by Zhou Yi. Of course, he has to thank Zhou Yi.

Although Zhou Yi's compatriot Yan Min can be regarded as a competitor of Aubameyang in a sense, Zhou Yi is evenly matched in the team and does not obviously favor Yan Min. Yan Min took over and deliberately reduced the number of passes to Aubameyang.

How to pass or how to pass, whether Zhou Yi passes the ball to Aubameyang only depends on whether Aubameyang runs into the right position.

"Dortmund has completed the reversal! Aubameyang scored twice, and Zhou Yi also assisted and scored twice!" Duan Xin said. "It seems that Dortmund will still have to come back and beat Mainz on the road in this game... They can't escape the reversal!"

The TV broadcast began to replay Aubameyang's goal just now. Zhou Yi's pass was very sudden. His first pass with a leg was a fake move, but when he actually passed the ball, the range of his movements was not so large. Just with a flick of his calf and a flick of his ankle, the football was passed very covertly. Such a concealed pass is not a very difficult skill, but the key is that it is so concealed and at the same time it can be passed accurately and the timing is just right, which is a great demonstration of one's skills.

Moreover, when he passed the ball, he did not observe the surrounding situation at all, nor did he even glance at the penalty area. He kept his head down from beginning to end, as if he was concentrating on dealing with Park Joo-ho. Who would have thought that he actually knew What about building a plank road to hide in Chencang?

"If Zhou Yi started, Dortmund wouldn't have taken the lead until almost 80 minutes..."

"Yes, the importance of Zhou Yi to Dortmund is self-evident. I think even if everyone else is rotated, Zhou Yi cannot be rotated. I hope that after this game, Klopp can fully realize this!"

"As soon as Zhou Yi came on the field, Dortmund's offense immediately had a direction, inspiration and creativity, and everyone else knew how to run. This is the value and significance of the core existence!"

On the Chinese Internet, after Aubameyang scored, there was also a lot of discussion.

Everyone is very happy that Dortmund can not only win the game, but also reflect the importance of Zhouyi. If Dortmund uses losing to feel the indispensability of Zhouyi, the price will be too high. If we lose this game again, Dortmund will be seven points behind Bayern Munich...

After Aubameyang scored, the TV broadcast not only showed the Dortmund players celebrating,

Also gave head coach Klopp a shot.

Klopp looked relatively calm on the sidelines - compared to the wildly celebrating Dortmund substitutes and coaches around him...

He was so calm not because he was dissatisfied with the result, but because he had very deep feelings for Mainz.

Klopp spent most of his career as a professional footballer at Mainz, where he played for twelve seasons and made 325 appearances for Mainz. field, scoring fifty-two goals.

Mainz has been in the Bundesliga during this period, and Klopp has never played in the Bundesliga.

After retiring from Mainz, Klopp became a coach at Mainz and coached for eight years. In just a few seasons, he led the little-known United States to successfully advance to the first division. In his second season in the Bundesliga, he participated in the UEFA Cup. Although he was eliminated by Sevilla in the first round, for Mainz, who was very weak at the time, this was still a good time worth remembering. .

After accumulating rich coaching experience in Mainz, Klopp has also won the favor of many major Bundesliga teams. Even Bayern Munich has reported that he is looking for him to coach.

But in the end, Dortmund won Klopp's favor.

Coming to Dortmund from Mainz, Klopp led this veteran team that had been in decline for many years to regain its glory.

Although he has left Mainz for many years, he has won many championships in Dortmund and has become a championship coach with unlimited glory. But he still has deep feelings for Mainz, and naturally he is not willing to celebrate wantonly here and irritate the Mainz fans who once cheered for him.

※※※

Klopp can maintain restraint while everyone celebrates, but that doesn't mean he can also lose to Mainz away from home.

He is now the head coach of Dortmund and is of course responsible for Dortmund's results.

Although Dortmund has taken a one-goal lead, in Klopp's view, this is not enough. A one-goal lead is too dangerous, especially when Mainz played very well in this game. They will definitely not be willing to lose to Dortmund at home like this. Next, they will definitely go all out, even Working hard, hoping to equalize the score or even take the lead again...

If Dortmund is not well-prepared at this time, or is not unified in thinking, the opponent may seize the opportunity to equalize the score.

So Klopp helped the team unify their thinking. After the game restarted, he stood on the sidelines and kept waving his hands to signal Dortmund to shrink its defense and counterattack.

He was worried that Dortmund would press out to attack after taking the lead, giving Mainz a chance to counterattack.

At this time, of course it is necessary to shrink the defense and fight back.

After listening to Klopp's arrangements, Dortmund quickly completed the adjustments.

Just as they completed their adjustments, Mainz also launched a fierce offensive towards Dortmund's goal.

There is not much time left for the home team, they must seize every minute and every second.

※※※

Dortmund has been playing defensive counterattacks a lot in recent years. This is what nature should do.

Zhou Yi returned to the midfielder position. When assisting in defense, he was mainly responsible for the transition between offense and defense. When a counterattack is needed, his pass is the signal flare for the counterattack. Wherever it is shot, Dortmund's counterattack will start.

As time passed, Mainz still failed to break Dortmund's goal. Seeing that the game time was getting shorter and shorter, the one-goal gap was like a chasm, making it difficult for them to overcome.

Tuchel decided to make a desperate move at the last moment and let the team press forward - at his home court, there is no difference between 1:2 and 1:3. They are both losing anyway, so it is better to rush forward and maybe create a miracle. ?

Seeing Mainz pressing forward, Zhou Yi realized that this might be an opportunity to end the game completely. Even if Dortmund stayed up for a few more minutes, the game could still be over. But football is round after all. Who knows if Dortmund can hold on for a few more minutes under Mainz's desperate attack?

So at this time, if there is a chance to directly kill the game, why not do it?

So when Mainz's attack was blocked and Dortmund had the opportunity to counterattack, Zhou Yi did not choose to directly pass the football to the front with a big long pass, but used a short-distance pass to send the football to the front. Then he suddenly thrust forward and rushed forward.

"Dortmund's counterattack!"

Dortmund used very fast speed to pass the football outside the 30-meter area of ​​Mainz in three passes and two downs.

At this time, Mainz's defensive players were all paying attention to Aubameyang who was holding the ball, and Reus and Schieber who were running without the ball. At this moment, Aubameyang moved the football to the wing. Zhou Yi appeared in the air - he finally ran up!

Because it was a quick counterattack, Mainz's defenders had not completely retreated. There were originally few defensive players near the penalty area, and now faced with this unplanned situation, they were even more stretched - Zhou Yi simply had no one to mark him!

After receiving the ball, Zhou Yi took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area.

He suddenly appeared and completely disrupted Mainz's defense. The defenders who were still staring at Aubameyang, Royce and others in the middle turned to him. At the same time, goalkeeper Karius also turned around quickly and pounced to block the near corner.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Yi very calmly made a cross pass. The football passed between the oncoming goalkeeper and defender and rolled directly to the back of the goal.

He is not greedy for merit because there are people in a better position than him.

When Royce was about to roll the football out of the goal, Royce finally hit him with a shot. He kicked the football into the goal with his spikes!

"3:1! The game was killed! Dortmund won this game early! It's over!"

Marcel Leif's voice rang out.
