Chapter 194: Shocking Stab
When the game restarted, Augsburg launched a fierce offensive against Dortmund's goal. They just hoped to take advantage of the momentum of the equalizer to score another goal and completely take the initiative of the game into their own hands. .
Facing Augsburg's aggressive offensive, Dortmund tightened its defense.
This is a normal adjustment and nothing unusual.
But during defense, Zhou Yi kept turning his head and looking around to observe the situation on the court.
He keeps everything that happens on the court in mind, constantly updating data and analyzing it.
Looking for the best opportunity to counterattack.
The reason for being so cautious is that Zhou Yi does not want to alert the enemy - if Augsburg realizes that their attack will lead to conceding goals, then he is likely to shrink the defense. By then Dortmund had lost its best scoring opportunity.
For Augsburg, this is an away game. Even if they don't win in the end, getting a point is not unacceptable.
But Dortmund can't accept it, they have to win, they can only win.
When the mentality of both parties changes, the initiative will fall into Augsburg's hands again.
Therefore, Zhou Yi must be cautious to ensure the success rate.
Originally, if he was pressed by his opponent, he would have fewer opportunities to attack, so he didn't have many opportunities to squander it.
Besides, Yan Min can't be at the front waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. As a full midfielder, or winger, he not only has to attack, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of returning to defense. When Augsburg's offensive was at its peak, the entire Dortmund team had to return to defense. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether the goal would be able to keep the ball away. How could he stay in front alone?
In this way, Dortmund's counterattack opportunities will naturally be reduced, and they cannot afford to waste them.
※※※
Zhou Yi was looking for an opportunity to counterattack, and Yan Min was also looking for it.
He is also very aware of the current situation - others are defending from behind, and they want Zhou Yi to directly send the football behind the opponent's defense with a long pass, then he will get the ball offside, dribble the ball into the opponent's penalty area, and face directly The goalkeeper can easily hit the ball into the goal. This kind of thing almost never happens.
If he rushes too far forward,
The team's defensive formation will be incomplete, and it will also arouse the opponent's vigilance.
So he could only maintain the status quo, defending in the backcourt while waiting for opportunities to counterattack.
In this case, I'm afraid he will have to dribble the ball through a few people.
Yan Min doesn't find this difficult. Breaking through with the ball is like eating and drinking. It's normal for him. He is best at doing this.
What is needed now is opportunity.
He is waiting for his chance.
※※※
In the 75th minute, Augsburg launched an attack. This attack went all the way to Dortmund's goal, but their cross was picked directly from the air by Weidenfeller.
When he landed, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yi.
The tacit understanding of playing together for so many years allowed him to throw the football directly to Zhou Yi outside the penalty area without waiting for a signal from Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi used his chest to cushion the football and completed his turn at the same time.
Then he raised his foot and bounced the football that fell from the air directly, and landed at the feet of Sven Bender next to him.
After passing the ball, he quickly ran forward and opened the angle to receive the ball.
Sven Bender also immediately passed the football back.
After receiving the ball, Zhou Yi immediately became the focus of everyone on the court, especially the Augsburg players.
There is no need to elaborate on the power of Zhouyi.
As soon as he got the ball, Augsburg players immediately came up to block Zhou Yi's ball.
And it's not just as simple as stopping Dortmund's attack, but he can also take the opportunity to catch Dortmund off guard and maybe score a goal?
Facing the Augsburg players who came up to press him, Zhou Yi did not pass the football out immediately, but paused, then changed direction slightly and went to the center. It seemed like an evasive action, but it caused him to fall into the encirclement of Augsburg. With his change of direction, waiting for him was not an Augsburg player, but three Augsburg players. Players.
Seeing Zhou Yi change direction with the ball, the Augsburg players who were still retreating did not retreat. Instead, they rushed forward, intending to work together to surround Zhou Yi here.
"Zhou Yi is still dribbling the ball..." Marcel Leif said worriedly. In his opinion, Zhou Yi should pass the ball quickly and counterattack. He only plays fast. If the rhythm is slowed down, then such a counterattack will still be possible. What's the threat?
Just when everyone thought Zhou Yi was going to be surrounded by Augsburg players, Zhou Yi's left foot suddenly glanced outside, and the toe of his left foot unknowingly poked the football out. At the same time, he swung his right leg as if to kick the ball. Compared with the hidden left toe to poke the ball, he raised his right leg with a wider range of motion, which naturally attracted more people's attention. No one expected that while he was swinging his foot, his left foot had already Stab the football out.
And it wasn't a casual poke. He passed the football to his left, where there was an obvious gap because he turned to the right. This gap was left to Yan Min who stepped in from behind.
At this time, Zhou Yi's right foot also completed the leg swinging action. He gave a false kick and hit nothing but air.
After the kick, he opened his hands to the defensive player in front of him and made an innocent expression.
At this time, Yan Min had already rushed forward!
"Zhou Yi... Yan Min! Zhou Yi's pass is so imaginative! A fake move like a master!" Duan Xin played Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart, without any pretense.
In front of Yan Min, he faced half a stadium. Zhou Yi passed the football to him near the center circle. The front was not a flat open space, but there were still Augsburg players.
At this time, those Augsburg players also turned around and intercepted Yan Min, especially in front of Yan Min was Augsburg's right back Paul Verhaeg, who was still in a position to block Yan Min's progress. location on the route.
But in Yan Min's opinion, this is not a big deal.
Zhou Yi's pass was not only concealed and accurate, but also fully took into account Yan Min's technical characteristics. He did not pass the football directly to Yan Min's feet, but passed it in front of him, allowing Yan Min to take advantage of the opportunity to advance forward. Fully increase the speed.
Yan Min did not disappoint him. He ran faster and faster, his legs like hot wheels.
Then when he was about to receive the ball, he glanced at Verhaig's position in front of him.
There are still about five or six meters away from him. If you catch the ball, whether you adjust or continue to dribble, your speed will be affected, which will give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.
Looking behind him, there is a gap, a thirty-meter area in Augsburg.
Yan Min knew what to do.
He raised his left foot and made a move to pass the ball directly, but when his foot came down, he kicked the football hard in front of him and behind Verhaig!
The football flew past Verhaig.
Also starting with football is Yan Min!
He immediately accelerated like crazy, instantly closing the distance between himself and Wilhaige.
At this time, Verhaige's body had just turned halfway...
"Yan Min! Oh! God! He was like a high-speed train, rushing past Wilhaige unreasonably. Poor Wilhage... He stretched out his hand to pull Yan Min, but nothing happened. He didn't hold on, but instead lost his balance and fell to the ground... Oh, my God! Augsburg's defense was completely overwhelmed by Yan Min's charge!"
At this moment, the West ** Stadium was filled with cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Zhou Yi didn't even run forward when he saw Yan Min's speed - he knew he couldn't catch up if he ran up, and couldn't catch Yan Min's pass.
And at this time, he believed that Yan Min would have the confidence to shoot the ball himself.
He was once criticized by the media and fans for his shooting, but this did not change him. He is such a person. He makes the choice he thinks is right and does not regret it.
Isn't that pretty good...
Zhou Yi honestly cheered for Yan Min from behind.
※※※
After Yan Min penetrated Augsburg's defense like a giant, he caught up with the ball. At this time, he was basically facing the goal directly. Although Aubameyang responded in the middle, there were two Augsburg players beside him. Even if Yan Min passed the ball, it would be difficult for him to make a difference.
He actually knows his role. At this time, all he can do is to attract some Augsburg players for Yan Min and create better conditions for Yan Min's solo play.
"Yan Min! Dortmund's chance!" Duan Xin's heart rushed to his throat. Pass or shoot? Hero or sinner?
The scene from the game against Arsenal appeared in front of Duan Xin's eyes, and it seemed to overlap with the current scene.
While Duan Xin was thinking wildly, Yan Min had already entered the Augsburg penalty area.
He didn't think so much. He only had Augsburg football in his eyes now.
With so much momentum, how could it not have a wonderful ending?
Otherwise, he would be sorry for Zhou Yi's pass!
Yan Min, who entered the penalty area, finally slowed down. He made an emergency stop and changed direction, turning to the middle, leaving Augsburg defender Carlson Brack aside who was blocking him in front. Then he He raised his right foot.
As a right-footed player, he plays on the left, just to cut in and then shoot!
Just like Robben playing with his left foot on the right wing, everyone around the world knows that when he plays on the right wing, he has to cut in, and after he cuts in, he has to shoot, but you just can't prevent it!
Yan Min's right foot hit the football and shot it towards the back corner!
Augsburg goalkeeper Schitz, who had just pounced here, had to turn around and pounce back. Two consecutive changes of direction were too much for him. The force of this flying movement was not enough, the height was too low, and the distance was not enough, so he did not touch the football.
After the football drew an arc, it got into the goal from the back corner!
The perfect ending!
