Chapter two hundred and six not strong enough
When the game started again, Dortmund took advantage of their momentum after scoring the goal and launched a fierce attack on Real Madrid's goal. They hoped to score another goal in a short time and take advantage of Real Madrid's just conceding the goal. Although it was a good time to get a draw away, if they could win, how many people would reject such a better result?
But Real Madrid is not a vegetarian.
Faced with Dortmund's attack, they did not bother with Dortmund in the midfield, but instead regained their own half.
A defensive counterattack started!
Zhou Yi quickly saw Real Madrid's plan, but at this time the morale of the whole team was high, and he could not calm the whole team down by himself.
Moreover, he also wants to bet on the bet that he can take advantage of the situation to score a goal, so that Dortmund will be safer. Even if he is equalized by Real Madrid in the end or even defeated, Dortmund, who has two away goals, has much more confidence after returning to home court.
But unfortunately, the three-minute bombardment did not allow Dortmund to score a goal. Instead, when this fierce offensive was about to end, Real Madrid scored a goal with a classic quick counterattack!
"Dimaria!!!" The Spanish commentator was very excited, and huge cheers also sounded from the stands of the Bernabeu.
"After just three minutes of conceding the ball, Real Madrid took the lead again! A classic quick counterattack, the whole process was smooth and smooth, which was really pleasing to the eye!"
Marcel Leif and He Ping were not so excited. Seeing the ball concealed, both of them sighed at the same time.
"When Dortmund besieged Real Madrid, he obviously forgot that Real Madrid is very good at playing defensive counterattacks..."
"Next, Dortmund should quickly shrink its defense. 1:2 is not the end of the world. This score should be completely acceptable for Dortmund. Maintain this score until the end of the game, and Dortmund who returns to home still has a high chance of advancing to the semi-finals!" He Ping has already begun to consider Dortmund's next round of game.
※※※
After the game started again, Dortmund did reclaim the defense.
But how could Real Madrid let them go easily?
Zhou Yi's goal seemed to anger the giants.
They scored twice in the 67th and 79th minutes by Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, and Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 4-1 at his home court.
This score almost made the quarterfinals of the next round lose their suspense.
So at the end of the game, He Ping didn't know how to comfort the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch.
After a while, when the close-up shot of the TV broadcast was placed on Zhou Yi, he said: "...Zhou Yi has done everything he can do. He scored an away goal for Dortmund. If Dortmund still has a glimmer of hope to advance to the semi-finals, then this glimmer of hope was brought by Zhou Yi... But unfortunately, football is a team sport, and it is not something that a person can do. From the perspective of overall strength, Real Madrid is indeed stronger than Dortmund, and there is no doubt that..."
Zhou Yi in the close-up was stopped by a Real Madrid player.
Ozil called him.
They have fought in the Bundesliga.
"It's a pity to lose, Zhou Yi." Ozil said to Zhou Yi with his jersey in his hand. "Actually you performed very well."
"Thank you, Mesut." Zhou Yi also took off his jersey and exchanged jerseys with Ozil.
After taking Zhou Yi's jersey, Ozil said again: "I know I'm a little bit meddling in this way, but Zhou Yi, your performance at Dortmund is already perfect. If you want to achieve greater success, you should jump out of Dortmund and go to those real giants... Of course, you don't come to Real Madrid. What should I do if you come?"
Zhou Yi was amused by Ozil, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mesut. But I don't want to leave Dortmund yet."
"Why? You know that Dortmund team. Let me say something bad. They are teams that lack ambitions. Due to economic reasons, they always rely on selling core players to balance the fiscal budget. This is also why this team is always suppressed by Bayern Munich in China..." Perhaps because they had played in the Bundesliga, Ozil was willing to say so much to Zhou Yi.
"But this season, we are the ones who are pushing Bayern Munich, Mesut," said Zhou Yi.
Ozil was speechless.
"I still have to thank you, Mesut. Not everyone will treat others so sincerely. Thank you for your advice, but I really don't consider leaving now because I haven't won the championship at Dortmund yet." After saying that, Zhou Yi put on Ozil's Real Madrid No. 23 jersey, said goodbye to Ozil, and turned around and left.
Ozil looked at Zhou Yi's back wearing his jersey behind him. For a moment, he felt that Zhou Yi was really a player of Real Madrid. Because Zhou Yi's jersey at Dortmund is also No. 23...
Khdira approached and said, "What did you say to him?"
"I told him not to stay in Dortmund."
"Do you want to find a competitor for yourself?"
"So I told him not to come to Real Madrid."
"Then did he agree?"
"He said he is not considering leaving Dortmund now because he hasn't won the championship in Dortmund yet."
"It's too rigid..." Khedira frowned. "You and I didn't win any championship in the original team. Can you miss this opportunity for this reason?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Dortmund will win the league this season, Sammy."
"Yes. Then... there will be a good show in the transfer market!" Khdira smiled.
With Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the Champions League this season, he will definitely not lack suitors.
When those wealthy clubs waved their checkbooks to launch a gold-dollar offensive on Dortmund, will Zhou Yi and Dortmund still resist?
"But I don't want him to go to Barcelona, even though his style is quite compatible with Barcelona," said Ozil.
"I don't want him to go either." Khdira and Ozil agree on this issue.
Barcelona is already hard to deal with now. They only beat Real Madrid at home in the first half of the season. If Zhou Yi is added, would other competitors still survive?

Zhou Yi, wearing Real Madrid No. 23 jersey, was stopped by reporters in the mixing area.
"Is Dortmund's failure in this game related to your previous injuries?" asked a Chinese reporter.
"No, it doesn't matter." Zhou Yi shook his head and said.
"But the time between your injury and your injury is too short. It will definitely have some impact on your performance, right?"
"No effect." Zhou Yi continued to shake his head.
"This..." Seeing that Zhou Yi was so sure, everyone didn't know what to say.
"Our loss to Real Madrid has nothing to do with my previous injury. There is only one reason, that is, our strength is not strong enough," said Zhou Yi.
After saying that, he turned around and left the mixing area.
※※※
The 1:4 loss made Dortmund players feel depressed and frustrated. On the way back to Dortmund, everyone was silent.
Zhou Yi was also sleeping with a blindfold on the plane and did not speak.
But he is different from his frustrated teammates. He is looking for ways to win in the virtual space.
The 1:4 score allows Dortmund to return to home court as long as he can win 3:0, he can eliminate his opponent by scoring away goals.
Zhou Yi did not think this was impossible.
Thinking back to the first time, when La Coruña faced the strong defending champion AC Milan, she lost 1:4 away in the first round. At that time, everyone thought AC Milan had advanced 100%.
But who would have thought that in the second round, La Coruna really defeated AC Milan 3:0 at home!
They accomplished an incredible miracle.
Zhou Yi felt that La Coruna could do it, and Dortmund could do it too.
※※※
On this night, the two teams in the Ruhr area experienced a double-cold and ice. Dortmund lost to Real Madrid 1:4 away, while Schalke 04 finally defeated Inter Milan 5:2 after falling behind twice.
This game also basically announced the defensive champion's exit.
Even if Inter Milan beat Schalke 04 3-0 away in the second leg and tied the total score, they will be eliminated by the disadvantage of fewer away goals.
When returning to Dortmund, Klopp denied that he was going to give up the Champions League: "We will fight until the last moment."
Therefore, he rotated away against Hamburg and put more energy into the Champions League, and he planned to fight Real Madrid to the death at home.
As a result, Dortmund tied with Hamburg 1:1 away, while Leverkusen defeated Sao Paulo 2:1 at home. The gap between the first and second in the league changed from five points to three points, and the distance of one game was a game.
Dortmund didn't care much about the draw in this game. At this time, they were full of the idea of counterattacking Real Madrid at home. They only had the Champions League match.
Dortmund, who was fighting against the enemy, welcomed Real Madrid at home.
Before the game, the German media exaggerated the results of Real Madrid against German teams away, which implied that Dortmund had a high chance of winning at home.
After the game began, Dortmund also attacked desperately, hoping to score as soon as possible.
Facing the aggressive Dortmund, Mourinho made his team fight a defensive counterattack. This is the best tactics Real Madrid is good at.
Although in the 38th minute, Zhou Yi assisted Mark to score a goal, Dortmund fans saw hope.
But as the first half was about to end, Real Madrid used a counterattack to equalize the score. This goal almost knocked Dortmund down to the abyss. Not only did it defeat Dortmund's original away goal advantage, but it also turned the score gap between the two sides into three goals again.
With forty-five minutes left in the game, it became very difficult for Dortmund to score three goals in a row.
You should know that their opponent is Mourinho's Real Madrid, and this coach is best at placing buses in front of his goal...
Sure enough, after the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, Real Madrid shrank its defense and set up a bus in front of the goal. Dortmund was unable to break through Real Madrid's bus formation.
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Dortmund was eliminated by Real Madrid with a total score of 2:5, ending their first Champions League trip seven years later.
Zhou Yi was replaced in the 86th minute of the game. At that time, there was not much time left and there were still three goals left. Klopp thought that Dortmund could not turn the situation around again. It was meaningless to let Zhou Yi stay on the court. It would be better to consider the league - at this time, it is more realistic. When the elimination of the Champions League is a foregone conclusion, the league champion must certainly grasp it...
So he replaced Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's substitution also means that Dortmund has given up on this game.
"I'm going to say goodbye to Zhou Yi." He Ping said when Zhou Yi was replaced. He was responsible for commenting on the Champions League and La Liga. He no longer had the opportunity to comment on Zhou Yi's game this season, so he said so. "But it won't take long to meet again in the Champions League next season!"
After Zhou Yi in the camera came off the court, he raised his hand to applaud the Dortmund fans in the stands.
And those Dortmund fans also stood up from their respective positions and bid farewell to Zhou Yi with applause, thanking Zhou Yi for everything he has done to the team. Although it is sad to be eliminated, if it were not for Zhou Yi, Dortmund would not even have the chance to be eliminated...
With the substitution, Zhou Yi's first career Champions League trip was frozen in two goals and six assists, making him a very amazing and successful debut.
In this way, Dortmund's Champions League trip this season is over, and now they can free up their hands to concentrate on their opponents in the domestic league.
