Chapter 212 Dortmund’s Rhythm

Kruse's goal completely ruined Dortmund's plan to equalize before the end of the first half.

What many people were thinking about was no longer even the equalizer in the first half, but began to think about whether Dortmund could win this game.

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Marcel Leif said: "Dortmund was once again forced into a desperate situation and was already two goals behind in the first half... This is the first time Dortmund has come close. In a desperate situation?"

He couldn't help but complain about Dortmund's poor defense.

"If the defensive problem is not solved, Dortmund will always face such a dilemma, or even a desperate situation..."

"Monchengladbach has taken the absolute initiative. All they have to do in the second half is defend and then counterattack. For the entire 45 minutes, they have one goal's room for maneuver, which means they can allow one goal to be conceded in the second half. , but Dortmund’s room for maneuver is very, very small..."

Everyone is worried about Dortmund's prospects in the second half.

In the Dortmund locker room, the Dortmund players also expressed such worries, and the mood was not very high.

Klopp encouraged them.

"I think you should be used to this kind of game mode where you always want to ride a roller coaster..." Klopp got straight to the point and said it with a smile, which showed that he didn't take conceding two goals seriously at all. .

But that was not the case. When the team lost the second goal, he started roaring from the sidelines.

But now in order to comfort the players, of course he has to pretend to be indifferent.

"Think about the last game we played against Zenit St. Petersburg. We conceded two goals during the game, but we recovered both of them. So I think we should have a very rich face to concede in the game. We have experience with the ball. Yes, there are some problems with our defense this season, and I won’t pretend that I can’t see it. But this problem is not easy to solve. At present, it is not easy to make our defense impregnable. Easy. But we have another set of solutions. We have strong offensive firepower that we are proud of!" When Klopp talked about the problem, his voice was low but powerful, giving people a sense of calm and security.

Finally, when he talked about the powerful offensive firepower, his voice rose, conveying an exciting and high-spirited mood.

This is actually a kind of speaking technique, to achieve the effect he wants through speaking. An excellent head coach must also be an excellent speaker and must be able to use words to mobilize the emotions of the players.

"Winning the game is actually very simple. Remember, no matter how many goals the opponent scores, we just need to score more goals than the opponent!"

※※※

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither side made any personnel adjustments.

This surprised many people - it is normal for Monchengladbach, which is leading by two goals, not to make personnel adjustments. They are playing well and there is really no need to make substitutions.

But Dortmund, who was two goals behind, showed no sign, which left everyone puzzled. At this time, if Klopp still wants to win the game, he should make adjustments early.

Why not make personnel adjustments?

Later, some people speculated: The reason for not replacing people is because there is no one to replace them, right? Looking at the bench, there are really not many people who can be replaced. Mkhitaryan is quite capable, but he is Zhou Yi's substitute. Do we need to replace Zhou Yi? It must not be that Klopp doesn’t want to make substitutions, but that he doesn’t have much room for choice, right?

Thinking about it this way, I feel even more pitiful for Dortmund...

But not long after the second half of the game started, the situation was different from what everyone imagined - Dortmund, who had no substitution adjustments, took the initiative to attack and played very fiercely. He couldn't pass the game and was completely suppressed.

Monchengladbach seemed a little unprepared for Dortmund's rapid offensive, and I don't know how their head coach Favre made adjustments...

At fifty minutes,

Zhou Yi took a long shot from the front of the penalty area and was directly confiscated by Ter Stegen. Three minutes later, Aubameyang made a pass from the right, and Royce, who was unmarked from behind, headed the ball towards the goal. Unfortunately, it was a little too high...

During this period, Dortmund's offensive was very fierce, which made the Dortmund fans in the stands very happy. The cheers were louder and louder.

But as an offensive organizer, Zhou Yi is not optimistic.

He knew that such a fierce offensive could not last for forty-five minutes, and that sooner or later Monchengladbach would come to their senses and be ready. To prevent them from being prepared, they have to score goals as quickly as possible and create tension.

Just having a strong offensive but not scoring goals is an ineffective attack.

So we still have to turn our offense into goals.

Zhou Yi constantly creates opportunities for his teammates, but if the opportunity is right, he doesn't mind trying to score himself.

※※※

In the 65th minute, Dortmund once again made continuous passes in front of Monchengladbach's goal to create opportunities.

Zhou Yi gave the football to Yan Min in the middle, who switched to the right.

Then he did not stay outside the penalty area, but slowly moved into the penalty area. At first, he moved towards the goal, but when he saw Mark also in the middle, he changed his mind. It was useless to go up by himself. , will only make the place more crowded.

And now because of the movement of Mark and Aubameyang, it has become the place where Monchengladbach defenders pay attention, and...

Zhou Yi turned his head and saw Houdian.

When I clicked on it later, there was an empty space.

So Zhou Yi immediately changed his direction. But he didn't just run back. He was just pacing and observing the situation on Yan Min's side.

He made a pass to Yan Min.

After seeing Yan Min's pass, Zhou Yi quickly judged the landing point of the football. It was definitely not in the front because it was very powerful!

So he immediately accelerated and started running in a circle, running backwards!

In the process, the football passed by Yan Min passed over the heads of Mark and the others at the front point and flew directly to the back point!

Zhou Yi jumped up and shook his head towards the football!

"Zhouyi——!"

Amid Marcel Leif's drawn-out roar, Ter Stegen turned back from the front point and jumped into the air to pounce on the ball.

Ter Stegen's reaction was the fastest among the Monchengladbach team. The other Monchengladbach players could only turn their heads at this time, and then stared blankly at Zhou Yi jumping in the air.

But the little Lion King is still a little late...

Before he pounced, Zhou Yi had already accurately pushed the football from Yan Min into the goal!

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!!! Good goal! He got a goal back for Dortmund! 1:2! Dortmund is only one goal behind now!" Duan Xin roared excitedly.

The entire Westfield Stadium burst into flames the moment Zhou Yi pushed the football into the goal.

Everyone jumped up from their seats, then raised their arms and shouted.

Although they were still behind, Zhou Yi's goal not long after the second half started gave them hope.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi did not celebrate. After landing, he rushed directly into the goal, fished out the football he pushed in, wrapped it in his arms, turned around and ran towards the center circle.

Then in the process, he waved his fist, which was considered a celebration.

He didn't have time to celebrate, he was still one goal behind...

Other Dortmund players who wanted to come up to celebrate with him saw him like this and stopped coming to celebrate. Instead, they ran back to the half court with Zhou Yi.

※※※

After Zhou Yi scored, Dortmund did not slow down. They still maintained a very fast pace to continuously attack Monchengladbach's defense.

The entire Dortmund team was boosted by Zhou Yi's goal.

Originally, Monchengladbach planned to fight back.

But as soon as they had this idea, they were beaten back by Dortmund's fierce offensive.

Dortmund, who just scored a goal, is full of morale and feels like "their energy is as strong as a tiger."

Monchengladbach did not dare to think about scoring another goal at all. During this period, they first had to ensure that they did not concede a goal...

Not long after Zhou Yi just scored, Dortmund launched an attack. Zhou Yi made a feint and passed the football to Royce. Royce passed the ball. After Mark received Royce's pass in the penalty area, he left the ball. The goal was fifteen meters away and shot into the far corner!

This time Ter Stegen made a wonderful save and shot the football away!

"Mark Ter Stegen! Wonderful offense and defense!" Marcel Leif shouted. "Although he conceded a goal, Ter Stegen did not seem to be affected! And Dortmund's offensive is still fierce! The game has entered a fierce stage!"

The stadium was buzzing with people, and the air seemed to be really hot...
