Chapter 231 Provocation
British commentators believe that Zhou Yi's health is the most important obstacle to his development in the Premier League, because even if he comes to Arsenal and plays in first-team games, he cannot adapt to the rough style of the Premier League, and he will often fall into the cycle of injury.
So he felt that there was nothing wrong with Arsenal not signing Zhou Yi at the beginning. On the contrary, Wenger also made a good deal.
You should know that in the first team of Arsenal, there is actually a midfielder Jack Wilhel who is not inferior to Zhou Yi. But people like Wilhel will be troubled by injuries, let alone Zhou Yi.
Song himself is also very satisfied with his performance.
Before the game, Wenger told them very seriously that the core of Dortmund is Zhou Yi, and he is very important. As long as he can curb his performance, Dortmund's performance will be discounted.
Song thought he was such a powerful character.
As a result, he was dealt with so easily, and his evaluation of Zhou Yi in his heart plummeted.
Originally, I was so nervous when I looked up, after all, Wenger was so nervous.
Unexpectedly... Maybe Wenger also made a mistake in judgment...

When Zhou Yi was squeezed to the ground by Song for the third time in this game, the referee blew the whistle and ordered Song to be fouled.
This time, Song seemed to feel wronged. He made a dive to the referee and said, "This is clearly his fake fall, the referee. I am a reasonable collision!"
However, the referee ignored his defense, so Song Hui turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Hey, boy, are you just going to make a move to fall?" Hearing his words, Zhou Yi, who was about to get up, looked up at him.
"What, do you have any objections?" Song Jian Zhouyi looked at him. "I think you should not play football with such a body. I don't want to hurt you, a child."
Zhou Yi still looked at him, without saying a word, just got up, then looked at Song, just looked at him, and walked past him.
Song stared at Zhou Yi without being outdone, and shouted at him in his mouth: "What are you doing? What are you looking at me?"
Zhou Yi glanced at him, then turned his gaze back and ran forward. Song was still chattering behind him.
※※※
"Song was saying something to Zhou Yi, the two seemed to have some verbal entanglement..." Marcel Leif said.
Everything that happened between Zhou Yi and Song was recorded by the camera and presented to everyone.
"Alexander Song should be scolding Zhou Yi for pretending to fall... But this is so funny. Judging from his actions just now, it was obviously a foul, and the referee also made a penalty. He was still talking to Zhou Yi... Maybe he wanted to arouse Zhou Yi's anger?" He Ping guessed.
"Zhou Yi is probably not so easily provoked, right?" said Zhang Lu, the commentator next to him.
"Looking at Zhou Yi's performance just now, he didn't say anything back, he just looked at the other party, it should be like this..."
"Zhou Yi, a player, has a calmness and maturity beyond his age..."
If Cortana could hear what these two Chinese commentators were saying, she would probably roll her eyes, where did the boy get the calmness and maturity beyond his age? He was obviously very childish!
Mark, who was sitting at home watching TV, was also angry when he saw Zhou Yi being violated by Song one after another: "That Song is just a waste of people! Judging from his defensive actions, if Zhou Yi doesn't hide quickly, he will probably be over!"
He was just injured, and he is now particularly sensitive to fouls that may lead to injury. He doesn't want Zhou Yi to follow in his footsteps.
"Don't stand up." Cortana sat next to her and said coldly.
"But that black man seems to really beat Zhou Yi..." Mrs. Wagner was a little worried. "Zhou Yi's body is indeed not very strong, and this is his only shortcoming..."
Because Mark had just had a few days after the operation, he still had to take a wheelchair when going out, so it was not convenient to watch the football on site, so Mark's family watched the live broadcast at his own home on the TV.
"No, Zhou Yi must have a way to deal with him!" Mark said firmly. "I believe him, that Song is not his opponent at all!"

In fact, Zhou Yi is really familiar with Song's football style. After all, he has played with Arsenal in the virtual space for three nights.
However, there are some things in the real world that cannot be simulated by the virtual space of fifaol3.
For example, something like trash talk.
Some players always like to spit out loud during the game, provoking their opponents, angering them, making them lose their minds, and thus losing their combat effectiveness.
The most famous example is probably the scene in the 2006 World Cup final. At that time, the French national team and the Italian national team were in a difficult position to get apart, and they fought all the way to overtime.
It was almost time for both sides to enter a penalty shootout.
Italian central defender Matrazi, who was defending Zidane, suddenly said a few words to Zidane.
At that time, Zidane's expression was quite normal and seemed to be still smiling. But after saying that, he suddenly changed his face, and then he suddenly turned his head toward Matrazi, turning the Italian defender to the ground.
This obvious intentional foul made Zidane directly sent off the court with a red card, and the French team, which was one less, eventually lost the championship in the penalty shootout.
The conflict between Matrazi and Zidane has become a focus of everyone's concern. There are many versions of the speculation that Matrazi said to Zidane, which made him so angry.
Matrazi's provocation against Zidane ultimately determined the ownership of the World Cup championship.
Therefore, this kind of trash talk is often used as a defensive strategy and tactic. However, in football games, the role of trash talk is not as prominent as that of basketball games. After all, the basketball court is small, and players on both sides are more entangled with each other, making it convenient to spray trash talks face to face.
It is said that basketball swimmer Michael Jordan is a master of trash talk...
Zhou Yi knew that Song wanted to anger himself, but if he just kept saying this, wouldn’t that be too shameless? I’ll get angry if you make me angry?
But it would be impossible for him to be calm in the face of Song's provocation. Otherwise, he would not be able to look at Song, and he would just pat his butt and run away.
No one is looked down upon and can still be happy after being insulted.
Zhou Yi can't do it either.
Physically, he is indeed not Song's opponent, but it does not mean that he has no choice when facing Song.
Because football is not just about the body...
※※※
Dortmund launched another attack. This time when Zhou Yi ran to the middle circle, Sven Bend, who was behind, passed the football up.
Zhou Yi raised his foot and stopped the football and then made a gesture to pass the ball, but he seemed to make a mistake because his toes touched the football first, poked the football forward, and the football rolled forward about two meters.
Song accelerated and rushed up, trying to grab the ball.
Zhou Yi was naturally unwilling to give up the ball possession just like this, so he rushed towards football.
However, judging from his previous confrontation with Song, it is difficult for Zhou Yi to gain any advantage in this kind of pure physical competition.
Zhou Yi is closer to football than Song, so he is a little ahead of football than Song, but he is really a little ahead... Because immediately, Song has already reached the goal.
Zhou Yi kicked the football with his feet, as if he wanted to kick the football out directly before Song. This is also the choice of most players when facing such pressing. They cleared the ball first and could not let the ball be thrown away by themselves.
So seeing Zhou Yi swing his foot, Song accelerated and rushed towards Zhou Yi in an attempt to stop the pass.
But when he rushed over in front of Zhou Yi, the football did not hit him.
Didn't stop it?
No!
It's because they didn't play football at all!
He looked back at the football that Zhou Yi left behind Zhou Yi, and his body continued to rush forward according to inertia... He couldn't believe that Zhou Yi was actually a fake move!
You should know that if ordinary people want to play football without silence, they will stand still so that they can continue to control the ball after doing fake moves. However, just now, Zhou Yi obviously rushed towards the football without slowing down. This is clearly the posture of kicking the football out of the game regardless of everything.
Who would have thought that this could be a fake action?!
Song could only rush forward unwillingly in front of Zhou Yi, stirring up a gust of wind and some grass chips...
"Oh! Beautiful! Zhou Yi!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.
"Zhouyi Zhouyi Zhouyi!! Beautiful get rid of it!" He Ping was even more excited.
Zhou Yi, who had thrown away Song, turned around and snatched the football over, drove the ball forward!
"Good, rush, Zhou Yi!!" Mark in front of the TV wanted to stand up and cheer for Zhou Yi, but he thought of his sister again, so his butt just lifted slightly and fell down again.
Zhou Yi's escape this time is very fatal for Arsenal.
Because in the 433 formation Arsenal has arranged in this game, Alexander Song is the only player who can defend in the midfield. The three forwards, Van Persie, Walcott, and Gervinho, will not talk about it. The other two of the three midfielders Arteta are the organizational midfielders, and their defensive ability may not be much different from Zhou Yi. Benardon is also a player with strong offensive and defensive offensive skills.
After Zhou Yi left the only defensive player in Arsenal's midfield, he headed straight to the middle!
Arsenal really never expected that Song, who could suppress Zhou Yi before, was so easily thrown away by Zhou Yi...
They were like bees attracted by the stamens, rushing towards Zhou Yi in a swarm.
The defense in other positions has decreased...
So when Arteta rushed towards him, Zhou Yi passed the football to Shinji Kagawa who ran behind him.
After receiving the ball, Shinji Kagawa turned around and adjusted it. He chose to shoot directly against Arsenal!
"Kagawa!" The Japanese TV commentator screamed in a long voice, hoping to use his voice to help Shinji Kagawa with his help and help him score the ball!
Unfortunately, Shinji Kagawa hit the thigh of the rushing Arsenal central defender Koscheerney, bounced high and flew out!
"Ah, it's a pity!" Marcel Leif held his head in his hands. Zhou Yi created a good opportunity for Shinji Kagawa, but unfortunately Shinji Kagawa failed to seize it.
Chapter completed!
