Chapter 80 This is the Ruhr Derby(2/2)
"I'm worried that he will be restricted by the other party's playing style and will not perform well!" Zhou Jianliang shouted. His son performed poorly, and his father was in a bad mood. In front of his wife, it was rare for a man to get up.

Zhou Yi fell to the ground again, this time not in his own backcourt, but in the opponent's backcourt.
"Borton!" said Marcel Leif. "The attack he gave Zhou Yi was so cruel. He hit Zhou Yi's hips! It hurts even if he looked! The referee didn't give him a yellow card, so he showed mercy..."
The referee did not give Bolton a yellow card, which also made Klopp very dissatisfied. He jumped up on the sidelines and shouted to the field: "Give the card! Such an obvious intentional foul!"
Fourth official Troutman came up and just signaled Klopp to retreat to the dotted line, but did not express anything about Klopp's words.
This is the Ruhr derby, the hottest derby in Germany. It is normal for the head coaches of both sides to vent their emotions on the sidelines, so there is no need to pay too much attention. Experienced referees, even the fourth official, know how to control the situation.
The referee on duty in this game, Manuel Grafi, did not hear Klopp's roar, or did not take it seriously.
Seeing that the referee ignored him, Klopp had to turn around and complain to his assistant coach Buvac: "Damn home advantage!"
He was worried that Schalke 04's rude playing style would destroy Zhou Yi, both physically and psychologically.
Including today's game, it is Zhou Yi's eleventh game in the Bundesliga. For a professional player, he lacks experience. In the past ten games, Zhou Yi has never suffered such a level of physical confrontation.
Other teams also had some physical confrontations against Zhou Yi, but compared with the Ruhr derby, it was nothing.
Zhou Yi had never experienced such a scene, which made Klopp worried.
Faced with Klopp's complaints, Buvac couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to comfort his boss.
Or, he also had the same concerns as Klopp.

The TV broadcast gave Schalke 04's head coach Magath a shot.
The devil coach is now sitting on the coach's seat with a calm expression on his face, watching the game with his legs crossed.
It looks quite leisurely.
It seems that the competition on the court is not fierce at all.
No one knows that Magath is recalling the arrangements he made to the players before the game.
"...Dortmond still insists on what they call dual cores, but in this game we want to make their dual cores completely fail. We use double teams against Shahin. Shahin just recovered from injury. He must be very worried about injury now, so as long as you are tough in defense, it is enough to make him retreat. The next focus is Zhou Yi. This Chinese man has excellent passing accuracy and vision, but he has a fatal flaw, which is that his body is too thin."
In the locker room, Magath emphasized the tactics of the game to his players, while Schalke 04 players listened carefully.
"Remember to use your body reasonably and master the degree of collision, it is not so easy to foul. Keep putting pressure on him, disrupting his rhythm, and making him unable to play football normally. I think as long as you keep playing like this, Klopp will have to replace the Chinese boy..."
He is now very satisfied with the performance of the players, who faithfully performed their tactical tasks.
And so far, the defense against Zhou Yi was the first foul. The game started nine minutes and he was already very satisfied.

Groschloitz pulled Zhou Yi up and asked with concern: "Is it okay?"
Zhou Yi grinned and shook his head: "It's okay."
This expression doesn't seem convincing.
Groschloitz looked at Schalke 04 players and said angrily: "They are too bullying! Those Schalke bastards!"
Dortmund and Schalke 04 have always been mortal enemies. Groschloitz, who has grown up in the Dortmund youth training camp since childhood, is naturally also a staunch anti-Schalke.
However, Zhou Yi seemed very calm about this. He comforted Groschloitz in turn: "This is the Ruhr derby, uncle."
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Groschloitz looked at Zhou Yi with some surprise: "Have you just been hit in the head?"
Zhou Yi knew what he meant, rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking? Don't worry, uncle."
Groschloitz was still a little suspicious. He threw mathematical questions to Zhou Yi to test whether Zhou Yi's head was normal: "Thirty-six plus sixty-four and then multiplied by seventy-eight is equal to what!"
"Seven thousand eight hundred. Is there any problem?" Zhou Yi gave the answer in less than a second.
Groschloitz was stuck.
"Do you need a calculator, uncle?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Forget it!" Groschloitz waved his hand, "I feel relieved when I see you are fine, goodbye!"
