Chapter 17 A person who won't give up easily(1/2)

At the end of the intermission and walking from the locker room to the court, Gotze came to Zhou Yi's side: "Hey, Zhou Yi, why haven't you been replaced?"

Zhou Yi raised his head and hummed proudly: "Didn't I say it? The head coach values ​​me! Otherwise, do you think those trainings are just to torture me?"

This time, after hearing Zhou Yi's words, Gece did not roll his eyes, but fell into silence, and even slowed down without realizing it.

When he first heard Zhou Yi say this, he thought it was Zhou Yi who was joking and bragging.

But again and again, after combining what he saw in his usual training with Zhou Yi's words, his heart began to shake.

Now in this game, everyone was replaced in the first half, but Zhou Yi stayed on the court, which was simply the "iron proof" of Zhou Yi's speech!

Now Gotze probably doesn't believe it, but he has to believe it.

Zhou Yi did not notice Goce's changes. He stepped onto the court with his beautiful vision for the future and prepared to welcome the second half of the game.

※ ※ ※

During the intermission, Chinese journalists gathered together to communicate in their native language and discuss Zhou Yi's performance in the first half.

"No, I'm good at it!"

"More than that? It's simply excellent!"

"Yes, yes, it can be clearly seen that his importance in this Dortmund midfielder, and his teammates also trust him and are willing to pass the football to him... I think this is the most important thing. The teammates' approach shows that Zhou Yi has won their trust and support. This is very important for Zhou Yi to integrate into the team..."

"That assist is really beautiful. Have you noticed Zhou Yi's running position? It's normal to run forward after passing the ball. Many players will choose this way, but in fact, that will make themselves trapped in intensive defense. Zhou Yi just did the opposite, using a fake move as a way to open up the gap... Tsk tsk, it's so smart!"

"In the "Green Reality Show" program, didn't Hao Dong say that Zhou Yi was a player who played football with his brain? This evaluation is very accurate. I think our Chinese football lacks players like Zhou Yi who played football with his brain!"

Everyone praised Zhou Yi's performance in the first half. Basically, a player only played halftime in the warm-up match. So now he can rate Zhou Yi's performance. In their hearts, if the 10-point score is full, Zhou Yi's first half can be at least 8:50.

Some journalists have even started to write drafts for the manuscripts they want to write in their minds.

But what surprised them was that... Zhou Yi actually appeared on the court wearing a jersey. He did not change his clothes and sat on the bench!

What does this mean?

He still wants to continue playing in the second half?

But look at the Dortmund players who were with him in the first half, they are now sitting on the bench!

The Chinese journalists were surprised, but were also very happy to see more of Zhou Yi’s performance, so they were naturally happy.

※ ※ ※

After the second half of the game began, Zhou Yi thought he would play like the first half, but after only ten minutes of playing, he felt a little overwhelmed.

When the Wolfsburg player saw that Zhou Yi, a Dortmund player who was active in the first half, was still on the court, he naturally regarded him as the target of his focus. In order not to allow him to continue to instigate threatening attacks, as soon as Zhou Yi got the ball, at least one Wolfsburg player would rush up, and more often, there were two people.

Zhou Yi had to mobilize all his strength to fight them physically, and try to keep the football as much as possible under the opponent's close press.

But most of the time, he fails, and he will be knocked to the ground by the opponent and then throw away the possession of the ball.

Some fallen referees will call Wolfsburg fouls, while others fall to the ground, while the referee will remain indifferent because it is a reasonable collision.

Soon Zhou Yi felt a little breathless. During these few minutes, he spent all his energy on confronting the opponent's players, and he couldn't organize the attack well.

Fortunately, Dortmund had a commander on the court. Shahin controlled the team's offensive rhythm, so that Dortmund would not know how to attack after Zhou Yi was restricted by the opponent.

Later, Zhou Yi had to speed up the handling of the ball, but he could pass the football out as fast as possible, but he couldn't run into the space with the fastest speed. He threw away the opponent's players who were guarding him.

Because he is out of energy.

The second half had just begun ten minutes, and he felt a little unable to run, which shocked Zhou Yi very much. He did not perform like this when he was in the youth team!

He also did not perform like this in a simulation competition in a virtual space!

※ ※ ※

"Zhou Yi seems... can't run anymore?" Assistant coach Buvaci also saw Zhou Yi's current dilemma.

Klopp nodded: "Of course."

"Do you want to replace him?"

"No, wait." To Buvac's surprise, Klopp shook his head and refused the suggestion of replacing Zhou Yi.

"But he can't run."

"You can walk if you can't run, Gerlico."

Bouage didn't understand why Klopp said that.

However, Zhou Yi seems to think so on the court.

Because he really started strolling on the court!

This kid really has to take a walk until the end of the competition...

Klopp saw this scene off the court and complained in his heart. It seemed that he really wanted to win a bet with himself.

But...even if you leave, you may not last long.

Klopp is sure to win the bet with Zhou Yi.

※ ※ ※

Shahin found that his midfield partner's activity had dropped a lot. After he passed the football to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi passed it back directly to him, and then stood there without going forward.

The Turkish young man saw that Zhou Yi's physical energy was almost exhausted and he couldn't run anymore.

So Shahin passed the football to the other side, thinking to himself that the head coach might soon replace him.

In fact, it is already very good that he was able to hold on for so long before being replaced. There is nothing to regret about being replaced at this time.

Next, Shahin was very careful and tried not to pass the football to Zhou Yi. With his current physical condition, giving the ball to him would cause the team to lose possession. And such a problem was not to worry about when Zhou Yi was in full physical fitness...

But almost five minutes passed, and there was no point in replacing people on the sidelines.

Shahin was a little surprised what the coaching staff was thinking? Didn’t you see Zhou Yi’s physical fitness no longer work!

He looked to the sidelines, and Klopp stood on the sidelines. It seemed like a sculpture, without any intention of replacing people.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Yi again. The boy put his hands on his hips and slowly paced on the court.

Shahin couldn't figure out what the head coach was thinking.

※ ※ ※

When Shahin received the ball again, he habitually wanted to pass the ball to the side. At this moment, he suddenly heard Zhou Yi shouting from behind: "Nuri, here! Pass to the right!"

At the same time, Shahin swept the figure of Zhou Yi running up from the corner of his eyes.

Can this kid run away?

Seeing that Shahin was hesitant, Zhou Yi shouted again: "Give me the ball. No one looked at me!"

Shahin woke up like a dream and passed the football over.

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he still passed the ball, but what was different from the previous few minutes was that he passed the ball and continued to run forward!

※ ※ ※

"Huh?" Klopp, who was watching the game on the sidelines, couldn't help but say in surprise. "Is this kid physically strong again?"

A burst of cheers came from the Chinese journalists outside the venue.

Zhou Yi was walking on the court before, and they really thought Zhou Yi would be replaced in a few minutes.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi was not only not replaced, but also rushed up again!

※ ※ ※

Zhou Yi accelerated and ran forward. His body was like a smartphone with a battery exhausted, constantly using soreness, fatigue and difficulty breathing to his brain, saying that "the battery is too low and the power is about to turn off."

But Zhou Yi ignored this and just opened his mouth wide. It was like an oxygen-deficient fish struggling dyingly, trying to jump from the dry riverbed into a small puddle.

As he ran forward, the football fell between the Dortmund players and then fell to Cuba's feet.

When Kuba was getting the ball on the wing, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether it was a cross or a breakthrough. In front of him, a Wolfsburg player was stuck. If he wanted to break through, it would not be that easy. The success rate would not be high, and there was a high possibility of conceiving the ball.

But if the cross...

Kuba also felt that Nelson Hedo Valdes was alone in front of the goal, which was not very good. The direct crossing could not pose any threat to Wolfsburg's goal.

At this moment, Zhou Yi also saw the dilemma facing Kuba. He was almost unable to run and turned towards Kuba, and shouted: "Kuba!"

This throat almost made him breathe.

Kuba turned his head and saw Zhou Yi running towards him, and at the same time made the move to pass the ball to him.

Zhou Yi's ability has been reflected in daily training. Kuba did not doubt whether Zhou Yi could take on a great responsibility. He passed the football without hesitation.

Zhou Yi's sudden forward insertion completely disrupted Wolfsburg's defense line in their previous defensive plan. Zhou Yi did not consider it, because Zhou Yi had been walking for several minutes and it was completely impossible to threaten Wolfsburg's goal. So when Zhou Yi ran forward, the Wolfsburg players did not notice him at all.

So now when Zhou Yi suddenly received the ball at the front of the penalty area, there was no Wolfsburg player by his side!

After Zhou Yi received the ball, the Wolfsburg players didn't know if they should rush up to defend him, because they still remember how Zhou Yi assisted Barrios in the first half. Didn't he just use them to rush up to defend the gap behind him?

Zhou Yi, who received the ball, had no intention of continuing to dribble the ball in. He swung his right leg a little outside the top of the penalty area!

Long shot!

With no one to guard and rob, Zhou Yi calmly completed the shooting action, just like in the team's shooting training. His right foot was firmly hit the middle and upper part of the football, and the football rushed forward quickly against the turf!
To be continued...
