Chapter One Hundred and Thirty: Beautifully Spread
Everyone thinks that Dortmund should be uncomfortable with the Champions League, and Zhou Yi should be even more so.
But there was no such manifestation in Zhou Yi at all.
He ran actively during the game, had a large range of activities, and was quick to pass and catch the ball, and did not think that he was hesitant and procrastinated after getting the ball.
The most important thing is that in this kind of quick and neat pass, he can also pass a threatening pass instead of just simply returning and crossing.
Zhou Yi's performance surprised many people and looked at him with admiration.
"Zhou Yi is probably the best player in the Dortmund team now. It's not that other Dortmund players perform poorly, but that Zhou Yi performs better." He Ping said. "Bortmund's offense almost all started from here. He constantly uses various passes to create attacks and threaten Valencia's goal."
"Valencia's austerity tactic is to limit Zhou Yi's space, but instead creates more space elsewhere, so we can see that Zhou Yi constantly uses long passes to transfer the football out..." Marcel Leif also said.
Of course, Valencia can also threaten Dortmund's goal, and both sides have many opportunities. After all, the two teams are not conservative and are very open.
Now it depends on whose forward can seize these opportunities first.
In other words, whose midfielder has better skills in feeding cakes, making the forward more comfortable?
※※※
"Barrios! His shot was too straight!"
"Soldado! Oh, I'm cheating! Mata's pass is very beautiful! But unfortunately, Soldado was unable to seize this opportunity!"
"Kagawa Shinji's shot--didn't!"
"Alberda's long shot! Oh! So dangerous!"
The commentators kept showing off passionate commentary, which was when the teams of both sides were shooting and approaching the goal.
But no one has ever scored first.
However, everyone thinks that the goal is definitely not far away, because both sides are playing so openly that if they still can't score, there will be a ghost.
In the 27th minute, Valencia got an offensive opportunity. They formed a cross space by cooperating on the sideline by hitting the wall, and then Joaquin completed the cross.
The quality of this cross is very high and the height is not high. However, it is fast, has a large arc, and has an obvious inner arc, which is just convenient for the forward to rush to the top.
Soldado flexibly ran in the penalty area. Suddenly, he stepped forward and jumped high before Subotic, and headed to attack!
When he was hitting the football, Subotic had not even had time to jump up, and could only watch Soldado shook his head gracefully in the air!
That scene must be as beautiful as a picture in the eyes of many Valencia fans...
Many Valencia fans in the stands have raised their arms and are ready to cheer.
Although Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfell jumped up, no one thought he could save his head at such a close distance.
But at this moment, the football hit the crossbar of the goal!
With a bang, it was like the sound of shattering the hearts of Valencia fans...
"Ahhhhhhh!" The Spanish commentator shouted. "Hongliang! Hanliang ruthlessly rejected Soldado's goal! Valencia missed a good opportunity to take the lead!"
But no matter how regretful he was, he said next: "But I believe that as long as Valencia continues to play like this, he will soon score a goal! I think in terms of morale, they have gradually suppressed Dortmund!"
While he was talking, the football hitting the crossbar bounced back to the court. Then Sven Bend kicked a big kick to the frontcourt.
Barrios jumped up and competed with Mathieu for the top, but did not compete for the top. The football was pushed back by Mathieu.
Then it fell to...Zhou Yi's feet.
After Zhou Yi received the ball in the midfield, the situation on the court was in a very delicate stage. Valencia was attacking and Dortmund was defending. As a result, Valencia did not score a goal in one offense. Dortmund wanted to make a quick counterattack, but the quick counterattack was not achieved. The football kicked in the frontcourt and was pushed back by the opponent. So it was said that Valencia should attack again. But the football fell at this time at Zhou Yi's feet, which was embarrassing...
During the previous wave of attacks, most of Valencia's players were still in front. They had not made the ball and planned to return to defense, but after only two steps, they saw Mathieu beat Barrios in the header. He pushed the ball back. Well, don't go back to defense, continue to attack, continue to put pressure on Dortmund's goal, and take advantage of the momentum of hitting the post just now. Maybe he scored this time the offense?
The plan was so beautiful, but the football fell to Zhou Yi's feet.
Then, when they saw Zhou Yi not hesitating or being surprised, they swung his feet and passed them with one foot!
The football did not fly to Barrios, but flew to the left and gave Mario Gotze the highway!
Now it is no longer an embarrassing problem, but a danger! For Valencia, it is too dangerous!
"Zhou Yi's long journey—" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
There was a huge booing sound over the Mestalia stadium, which was directed at the Dortmund players.
However, Goze was not affected by the booing. He stopped the ball given by Zhou Yi steadily and dribbled the ball to Valencia's goal.
Barrios, who had been entangled with Mathieu, quickly turned around and stepped forward, responding to Gotze in the middle.
For a moment, the situation on the court changed drastically! Valencia was only one post away from breaking the Dortmund goal, but now it was Dortmund's turn to directly threaten Valencia's goal!
"Dortmond got an excellent opportunity! Zhou Yi's long pass accurately found Goce who was in front of the ball! This was a one-on-one strike!" He Ping shouted excitedly.
His voice echoed in the living room in the middle of the night. Zhou Jianliang clenched his fists in front of the TV, and blue veins were rising from his neck.
※※※
Valencia's goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez chose to abandon the goal and attack - he could only do this at this time. If he continues to stay in front of the goal, he will be unable to block such a large shooting angle.
As for the fact that after he attacked, Barrios, who might be followed up in the middle, had the chance to shoot in the empty goal, he didn't care about it.
He is a goalkeeper, but not a god. He cannot cover everything and do everything.
Facing the Valencia goalkeeper who was attacking, Gotze chose to shoot a lob.
The football was rubbed out a parabola and flew upwards. Sanchez jumped up during the attack and tried to stretch his arms as much as possible to block the football like a volleyball player's blocking action.
But the football flew over from above his fingertips!
Then he fell into the goal behind Sanchez in a parabolic manner.
Barrios, who had just run to the penalty spot, raised his arms and cheered for the goal!
"tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. "tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!tor!!! Mario Gotze! He scored the first record for Dortmund! This is the first goal in the Champions League after seven years! Beautiful! Perfect! Assisted from Zhou Yi!"
Marcel Leif finally emphasized that this was Zhou Yi's assist.
"The ball is in! Good ball! Gotze's spoon shot!" He Ping's voice on the TV was drowned by Zhou Jianliang's shouts.
"pretty--!"
Li Cuiyun glanced at him: "It's not our son who entered, what's so exciting about you?"
"I mean the ball was passed beautifully! Who said it was beautifully entered?" Zhou Jianliang retorted.
Li Cuiyun didn't know how to respond to him...
※※※
After scoring the goal, Gotze ran to the corner flag area excitedly to celebrate his goal.
Zhou Yi and other players ran towards him. Gotze turned around and hugged Zhou Yi. Everyone rushed forward to celebrate together.
Mestalia's stands were relatively quiet at the beginning, and it was obvious that they could not accept the concealment of the ball. But then, a huge boo sounded, all of which were given to the Dortmund players celebrating the goal.
But the Dortmund players don't care, they are all immersed in their own world.
※※※
"Zhou Yi's long pass is very accurate and very fast!" After simply praising Goce's beautiful goal, He Ping began to praise Zhou Yi. "When everyone might not have reacted, he made a decision, and he did not hesitate at all. He sent the football to the place where he should go very accurately. In fact, in the game, this kind of situation where the football fell to his feet due to accidental football. But most opportunities were wasted, because not only the defense did not expect it, but the offensive party also did not expect that the decision made hasty without preparation was not necessarily correct. Zhou Yi did not make such a mistake. He passed the ball quickly and courageously and correctly, creating this goal!"
Zhou Jianliang heard the commentator praise his son so much, and although he had heard it many times, he still laughed.
On the Internet and Weibo, it was also in an uproar at this time.
Although it was not the goal scored by Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi's long pass was indeed very beautiful, and the most important thing was that from the beginning to the present, Chinese fans have not seen the "negative" and "discomfort" of media analysis in Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi seemed very calm and adapted to the rhythm of the game.
※※※
The Dortmund players ended the celebration and returned to their half. The TV broadcast pointed the close-up shot at Gotze. He was the one who scored the goal and of course he could enjoy such treatment. However, he has always been running side by side with Zhou Yi. So Zhou Yi has also been painted.
The two of them ran back to their half side by side.
This scene is also quite interesting. Marcel Leif said: "These are two young geniuses trained by Dortmund's youth training camp. They may represent Dortmund's future and hope. With such excellent young people, it is only a matter of time before Dortmund's revival... Since Klopp coached Dortmund, he has insisted on giving young players opportunities. He believes that Dortmund's future belongs to young people, and he has bet right."
The camera then turned to Klopp, who was clapping on the sidelines with a smile on his face.
Obviously, he was also very satisfied with the performance of his young men.
