Chapter 227 Draxler

Every Ruhr derby will be packed with people in the stands, not to mention that today’s Ruhr derby may also be related to the ownership of the league championship for a season.

If Bayern Munich's game hadn't kicked off at the same time as Dortmund's game, maybe some Bayern Munich players would have watched the game in front of the TV.

The Westfield stadium was already full, and as far as the eye could see, it was almost a sea of ​​yellow and black.

There are Schalke O4 fans, but they are very inconspicuous. They are at the top of the stands and the farthest away from the stadium.

Although the two cities are very close to each other, fans of the two teams do not like to go to the other side's home games to watch games, so the visiting team in the Ruhr derby is often more difficult to play.

In the history of the Bundesliga, the two teams have met a total of 83 times. Dortmund is slightly ahead with 30 wins, 24 draws and 29 losses, which shows how fierce the Ruhr derby is.

At home, Dortmund still has the advantage. Their home results are 18 wins, 12 draws and 11 losses. This also proves that the Ruhr derby is indeed more difficult to play away from home.

It was thought that in the first round of the Ruhr derby between the two sides, Dortmund's extreme fans threw fireworks into the stands. Fans from both sides also clashed after the game, so the atmosphere was already tense before the game even started. In order to maintain the safety of the stadium, Dortmund dispatched a total of 3,000 police officers on duty inside and outside the stadium to ensure that no unexpected situations occur.

Since Dortmund fans have caused trouble many times this season, the club is actually very nervous now. If the situation occurs again, it is very likely that the German Football Association will impose a ban on home spectators.

Dortmund fans have always been the pride of Dortmund. Dortmund fans are the most fanatical and loyal group in Europe. But while the Dortmund club enjoys the support and benefits brought by fanatical fans, it also has to bear the trouble and pressure brought by fanatical and extreme fans.

Because the two teams were so familiar, there was no process of testing each other after the game started.

Only four minutes into the game, Huntelaar received the ball ten meters in front of the goal and shot directly. The result was slightly higher, shocking the Dortmund fans.

At the same time, it also shows the determination of Schalke O4. Although it is difficult to play away from home, they still have to pursue victory.

Of course, Dortmund is not a dumb person without any reaction. After a threatening attack from the opponent, Dortmund will naturally respond in kind.

Two minutes later, Royce made a pass from the wing, and Mark grabbed the ball in the middle, but he was completely unguarded and missed the ball.

Two minutes later, Schalke O4's Goretzka took a long shot in front of the penalty area and was directly confiscated by Weidenfeller.

Yan Min and Royce changed positions and passed a curve ball from the right. Sven Bender headed the ball from the center and the football missed the right post again...

"After the game started, the two sides did not play conservatively at all. They were completely attacking! It is only in this kind of very familiar opponent that we can see such a game. Although it is such a crucial game, both sides are very competitive. I don’t want to lose momentum..." Marcel Leif said.

As the attack progressed, the smell of gunpowder on the field gradually began to grow stronger.

In the 23rd minute, Royce raised his arm during a header and made an elbow movement. He was fouled and received a yellow card.

Dortmund has already received yellow cards, and Schalke O4 is naturally not to be outdone. In terms of popularity, the Ruhr derby ranks first in Germany. Soon, Draxler fouled while making a tackle in the backcourt and also received a yellow card. The one he overthrew was Zhou Yi. Although Draxler received a yellow card after overturning Zhou Yi, he didn't even intend to pull Zhou Yi away. He didn't even mean to send a friendly signal, so he turned around and ran away.

Zhou Yi was helped up by his teammates.

"Are you okay, Zhou Yi?" His teammates asked Zhou Yi with concern.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's okay.

I hid in time. "

"That kid is here just for you!" Someone glared at Draxler in the distance fiercely.

Draxler didn't care about the angry looks from the Dortmund players and was even a little complacent.

"It's okay." Zhou Yi patted his teammates and comforted them in turn.

The game continued. When the ball was dead, Draxler came up to Zhou Yi, covered his mouth and said viciously to Zhou Yi: "Did you feel pain from the fall just now? Don't mind, this is the Ruhr derby. If you can't stand it, , just apply to be substituted!"

After Zhou Yi heard what Draxler said, he turned helplessly to Yang Muge next to him, and deliberately said to Yang Muge in German: "Old Yang, why is your good friend so childish?"

Yang Muge was speechless, but Draxler was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "Who are you calling naive?"

Zhou Yi smiled at him and said nothing.

Seeing his two friends tit for tat on the court, Yang Muge didn't know what to do.

When he was in the youth team, he knew that Draxler was "hatred" towards Zhou Yi, and he had always disliked Zhou Yi.

But that is their own business, and Yang Muge has nothing to do with it. Draxler is his friend, and Zhou Yi is also his friend, but there is no need for him to force these two friends to become friends. We are all adults, don't be so childish.

The game continued, and few people noticed the altercation between Draxler and Zhou Yi.

However, someone soon noticed a small change in Zhou Yi's position on the court - he and Sven Bender changed positions.

Originally, Zhou Yi's position was relatively flexible. When standing with Sven Bender, he would not be fixed on the left or the right.

But after the game restarted, Zhou Yi has been fixed on one side and rarely goes elsewhere.

After adjusting his position in this way, he changed from playing against Yang Muge to playing against Draxler.

After being noticed by others, this small change in position could only be regarded as Zhou Yi's plan to get rid of Yang Muge's defense against him.

This is also normal.

In every Ruer derby, Yang Muge defended Zhou Yi very tightly. Zhou Yi always tried his best to get rid of Yang Muge's defense. In the last round of the Ruderby, Schalke O4 head coach Jens Keller gave up on this approach and asked young midfielder Neustadt to defend Zhou Yi.

As a result, that game was a disaster for Neustadt. The tall Neustadt could not guard against the short but flexible Zhou Yi. Neustadt's physical advantage had no chance to be used in front of Zhou Yi.

At that time, Schalke O4 lost the ball in the first fourteen minutes, and the loss started from Neustadt, who lost his defense against Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi scored the goal that sealed the victory in the game, and he also shot it after getting rid of Neustadt.

In that game, Schalke O4 lost to Dortmund 1:3 at their home court, and Neustadt's performance was definitely not outstanding. Neustadt didn't even finish the game before he was replaced by Jens Keller.

After the game, Schalke's media criticized Jens Keller's formation and tactical arrangements during the game, believing that his biggest problem was using the Neustadter ball to defend Zhou Yi. In front of the flexible and cunning Zhou Yi, Neustadt is like a rusty tin can.

This time in the Ruderby, the head coach of Schalke O4 is still Jens Keller. This time he finally did not make the same mistake as last time. Although Neustadt also played, before the game he planned to let Yang Muge defend Zhou Yi. From the position of the court, the two people also matched up.

After the opening, Yang Muge's restriction on Zhou Yi was successful. Although both sides fought fiercely, at least he did not let Zhou Yi send the final fatal pass.

But now after such a change of position, Zhou Yi is closer to Draxler.

Draxler is an offensive player, but when the team is defending, he also needs to assume certain defensive tasks. Otherwise, why did he knock down Zhou Yi just now?

When Zhou Yi got the ball again, he did not pass the football out immediately, but tried to dribble forward.

On his route with the ball, he happened to be Draxler who was returning to defense.

Facing Zhou Yi, he was eager to give Zhou Yi another profound lesson.

When the two met, Zhou Yi's left foot pulled the football to the right, showing signs of breaking through to the right, and Draxler naturally shifted his focus there.

But just when he tilted his center of gravity, Zhou Yi pulled the ball with his left foot and suddenly knocked the football back to the left with his outer instep!

At the same time, Zhou Yixun changed direction and planned to break through from the left!

At this time, it was too late for Draxler to change his focus.

But he didn't want to watch Zhou Yi get through to him. In desperation, he stumbled under his feet and pulled on his hands, forcing Zhou Yi to stay with him when he was about to break through.

Seeing that Zhou Yi could not compete for Draxler's "magic clutch", he stopped struggling and stopped directly, spreading his hands and letting the football slip away from him.

He didn't believe that the referee of this game would not see such an obvious pulling foul.

Sure enough, the whistle sounded soon behind him, followed by boos in the stands, which were given to Draxler by Dortmund fans.

"Draxler committed two consecutive fouls in a short period of time! He should be careful, he has a yellow card!" Marcel Leif reminded. "The referee may have also taken this into consideration. This time he only gave a verbal warning and had no intention of playing a card. But in any case, Draxler should be careful..."

Draxler did not have the arrogant attitude after the last foul this time. Faced with the referee's verbal warning, he could only nod his head and admit his mistake.

He is not a fool and knows not to anger the referee.

Fortunately, the referee let him go.

When he turned around, he saw Zhou Yi beside him, smiling at him.

Draxler's positive attitude of admitting his mistakes in front of the referee immediately disappeared, and he glared at Zhou Yi fiercely.
