When Klopp finished his explanation, the blackboard was already filled with dense lines, shoulders and circles.
The second half is about to begin.
The players left the locker room and walked towards the stadium.
As soon as he walked out of the locker room, Zhou Yi was stopped by Hummels: "Zhou Yi, what did you feel when you saw the team lose eight goals in the first half? Have you ever thought about giving up?"
When everyone heard Hummels's question, they slowed down and focused their attention on Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi turned around and spread his hands to Hummels and said, "Sorry, Matz. I can't answer your question, because I was a substitute at that time and had no chance to play at all, so my thoughts couldn't decide the game at all. If I want to say no to give up, you will definitely feel that I was standing and talking without a pain in my back."
"So you didn't play in that game?" Subotic asked.
Zhou Yi nodded: "I sat on the bench and watched that game."
"That last game, the one you won..." Subotic asked.
"I played for ninety minutes." Zhou Yi replied.
"Ah..." Subotic suddenly understood. "So the difference is because you did not play..."
"No, Newen. The difference is that in the last game, no one in our team gave up."

After falling behind by four goals in the first half, Zhou Yi still had the time to tell stories to his teammates in the locker room. This is not his show-off.
But he really didn't think there was anything to be sad about falling behind by four balls.
On the contrary, he had another emotion deep in his heart.
That's excitement.
Yes, his team was behind four goals and one less person on the scene, not only did he not get frustrated, but instead felt excited.
Why excited?
Because the competition is finally a bit new!
It’s like a top student taking an exam. A question that goes beyond the syllabus suddenly appears in the test paper. Usually, students will be frowning and scold the teacher for not playing according to the rules. However, the top student will only feel excited. Challenging the unknown and impossible can always arouse the fighting spirit of such people.
Zhou Yi is in this mood now.
How boring would it be if every game always knows the general direction of development in advance?
It always takes a little surprise to be fun.
Fun, this is what Zhou Yi thought.
He didn't think the game was over, and there were still 45 minutes left, which was enough for him to do a lot of things. Only such a game was challenging.
That's what he really thought.
For a person who can simulate and repeat dozens of times in a game, being able to meet a game that he has simulated and has not encountered even dozens of times is indeed enough to surprise him.
There are always many accidents in football games. Some people regard accidents as disasters, while others think accidents are cute.

"Okay, players from both sides will play, the second half will begin..." He Ping said with a boost of spirits.
During the intermission, he and the commentator Zhang Lu analyzed the situation in Dortmund, but it was not optimistic no matter how they analyzed it.
Zhang Lu believes that in this game, it would be great if Dortmund could score a away goal in the end. It would save face, which is more than losing too badly.
Don't think too much about the others.
The TV broadcast gave many close-up shots of Dortmund players, but you can see that the expressions of Dortmund players seem to be different from those at the end of the first half.
When it fell on Zhou Yi's face, there was no difference, because no matter when he ended in the first half or now, there was no change in his expression on his face, and he looked calm.
He just turned his head and looked around.
Then the referee blew the whistle to the start of the game.
Inter Milan fans in the stands kicked off the second half with huge cheers.
※※※
After the second half, because Inter Milan kicked off, they could continue to attack Dortmund when they took possession of the ball.
However, Inter Milan's attack ended soon. When he hit Dortmund's penalty area, he saw that Dortmund's back line was still intact, and Sneijder directly shot with a long shot.
The football missed the goal, and Inter Milan's offense ended.
I don’t have the patience to pass the ball, nor do I frequently run and intersperse.
Inter Milan's attack is very simple.
When Sneider chose to shoot, Zhou Yi was ten meters behind him. Seeing Sneider shoot directly, he narrowed his eyes.
He was wondering if this was a signal that Inter Milan had relaxed?
※※※
Sneijder's kick, whether it was the player himself, Guo Nu sitting in the stands, the audience in front of the TV, other players in Inter Milan, coaches, commentators, reporters in the media table, all Inter Milan fans in the stands... No one thinks that there is anything wrong with him doing this.
Anyway, they are leading four goals, and they still have the advantage in terms of numbers. Is there anything wrong with playing like this?
Players can only play like this when they relax. It seems casual, but in fact they can perform better.
Well, everyone thinks so.
But Zhou Yi has different opinions.
When Langgrak was about to pass the football to the front court with his big feet, he saw Zhou Yi pressing his palm down at him, signaling him not to worry.
Then he ran back into the back line and stood on the same line with Subotic and Hummels.
Langrak knew what this meant, so he asked him for the ball.
So he passed the football over.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, because the position was too far behind, no one came up to force him. Of course, even if he was in his original position, there would be no one to force him, because if Inter Milan really wanted to force him, they would have forwards Biabiani and Etoo, and they were actually not far from Zhou Yi.
But the two forwards stood on one side, just looking at Zhou Yi, and no one wanted to come up to intercept them.
Zhou Yi calmly took the ball and turned around, then led the football forward.
Knowing that Etoo rushed up after seeing him take two steps.
At this time, Zhou Yi passed the football away and passed it to his partner Sven Bend in the midfield.
After Sven Bend received the ball, there were no Inter Milan players coming up to press him.
He can stop the ball calmly and observe again.
Zhou Yi used this time to penetrate him diagonally and made a gesture to him for the ball.
Sven Bend passed the football over.
Before Zhou Yi received the ball, he had his back to the offensive direction. While receiving the ball, he pulled the ball back with his right foot, turned around and faced the offensive direction.
But there were still no Inter Milan players who rushed up immediately. There were actually two people around him, Stankovic and Coutinho, but they were both just watching and not coming up.
Since they didn't come up, Zhou Yi would drag the ball forward.
It was not until Zhou Yi dribbled the ball that Stankovich forced Zhou Yi.
Of course, Zhou Yi passed the football away again.
Then he continued to pass with his teammates continuously, and passed it in one lap. Zhou Yi went to all three areas of the midfield left, center and right, and found that Inter Milan's defense was indeed quite slack in the midfield.
Many times, Zhou Yi could easily catch the ball and then adjust it calmly.
This is a very difficult treatment to enjoy in the first half.
And not only Zhou Yi himself, but other Dortmund players face much less defensive pressure.
However, so far, Inter Milan's defense in the 30-meter area is quite decent. He just tried it a little and discovered this, so he returned the football to ensure that the football was controlled at his feet.
Then find a way to find a gap and catch loopholes.
If there was no good opportunity for a while, Zhou Yi would direct the football to pass it back, constantly, and even pass it to goalkeeper Langrak, and then pass it up.
But he doesn't always have to catch the ball and pass the ball, and sometimes he doesn't have to pass it through him.
At this time, he ran straight forward and observed the situation at the same time and found that Inter Milan had no intention of strengthening his defense.
Maybe they think they are running around?
※※※
Dortmund passed the ball again, but did not find a good opportunity. At this time, Zhou Yi had already run to the frontcourt, but he did not ask his teammate for the ball, but pointed directly backwards and shouted the name of Shinji Kagawa, signaling him to pass the football back directly and stop passing it to himself.
Shinji Kagawa turned around and passed the football back to the midfielder Sven Bend.
Inter Milan's formation followed.
Sven Bend originally wanted to pass the football to Zhou Yi, but found that Zhou Yi was still in front and had not come back. He was too far away from him, and there were players from Inter Milan between him. He could not guarantee that he would not be cut off after passing the football.
And if he wants to pass the ball to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi will definitely catch the ball with his back to the offensive direction. After he receives the ball, he is likely to pass the ball back to him, which is meaningless.
To be continued...
