After the second half of the game started, Arsenal, who had to win, continued to attack Dortmund's goal.

Ten minutes later, a keen person discovered changes in Dortmund.

Shinji Kagawa retreated more, but Zhou Yi did not go forward most of the time, but stayed in the backcourt...defense!

"Let Zhou Yi participate in the defense?" Marcel Leif felt strange. "But we all know that Zhou Yi's defensive ability is not outstanding..."

"It seems that Sven Bend's injury has a great impact on Dortmund. Even their organizational core has to be forced to turn into defense..." The British commentator was a little gloating. Sven Bend's injury was a complete accident. Unexpectedly, this accident led to such a result that was beneficial to Arsenal. Sven Bend's injury not only caused Dortmund to concede a goal, but also completely restrained Dortmund's offensive organizational core, making it impossible for them to threaten Arsenal's goal.

He Ping was also surprised that Zhou Yi would participate in the defense: "...In fact, instead of changing to Kyle, it would be better to replace Gundogan. Gundogan is a player with balanced offense and defense, and can both attack and defend. When Zhou Yi was there, he focused on defense... As now, letting Zhou Yi defend was really useless, and it also made Dortmund's offense lose its threat..."

Almost everyone has no doubt about Klopp's decision.

The live game broadcast also gave close-up shots to Klopp, who was sitting on the sidelines.

Klopp in the camera stares at the stadium with expressionless face.

No one knows what he is thinking.

※※※

Klopp was thinking nothing, he was observing the game, observing very seriously and attentively.

Through observation, he found that although Zhou Yi had figured it out, his body was not very adapted to the transformation of this role.

At least in the first ten minutes, Zhou Yi did not perform well in defense. He was running non-stop, looking very hard and actively trying to participate in defense, but he just ran and did not contribute to defense.

This is also the main reason why the commentators think Klopp's adjustment is a nonsense. Zhou Yi is not adapted to defense, and his actions on defense are of no significance.

But Klopp believes in Zhou Yi and his own vision. The latter has been proven many times.

He still remembered the scene when Zhou Yi's eyes lit up during the intermission, as if there was a flame ignited in his heart.

He believed that this young man would find the right path, and it might not take long...

※※※

Ten minutes after the second half, since Zhou Yi did not play any role in defense, Dortmund was still beaten by Arsenal.

Zhou Yi became Arsenal's key breakthrough point. They believe that based on Zhou Yi's performance, he is simply the weakest point on Dortmund's defense line.

Everyone plays the ball towards him.

In the 14th minute of the second half, in the 59th minute of the game, Zhou Yi was powerless in the face of Walcott's unreasonable speed breakthrough. Although he ran up to intercept, he was easily thrown away by the opponent. Zhou Yi could only watch and even if he wanted to foul, there was no chance. The speed gap between him and the opponent was too big. Walcott was famous for his speed, and speed has never been Zhou Yi's advantage.

However, after Walcott broke through, Kyle, who was caught up, destroyed the football. When he broke through Zhou Yi, Walcott was a little big. The football was slightly away from his control range and was destroyed by Kyle.

Zhou Yi turned around and saw Kyle helping him to clear the siege. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the captain: "Thank you, Captain!"

Kyle waved his hand to him: "You're welcome, Zhou Yi. Don't think too much. If you don't, just leave the defense to me. I've gradually found the feeling. You should focus on organizing the offense..."

Zhou Yi knew that Kyle was of course kind, but when he figured out what advantages he had in defense in the locker room, his defense was not just for completing the tasks assigned by the head coach.

Because he felt that there seemed to be a new world that opened the door in front of his eyes...

This is a new world worth entering.

When he thought of this, Zhou Yi felt excited and ready to go in and try it.

So although someone may laugh at his embarrassment and incompetence in front of Walcott, this will not affect Zhou Yi's beliefs.

Some people are indeed mocking Zhou Yi for his performance in facing Walcott.

For example, the British commentator laughed after Zhou Yi was broken through by Walcott: "In the face of Walcott's speed, Zhou Yi acted like a scarecrow! He just stuck in the field, motionless, hoping to drive away the birds. But this was destined to be just a delusion!"

He compared Zhou Yi to a clumsy scarecrow.

Even Marcel Leif covered his face with his hands when Zhou Yi was broken through and moaned: "It's simply terrible..."

※※※

Although many people think that his participation in defense is simply a mess, Zhou Yi is still doing his own thing.

He is constantly looking for opportunities. Although he can judge the opponent's passing route evenly, it does not mean that he can successfully intercept the ball. At least he cannot wait directly on the other person's passing route. The opponent is not a fool. When he sees someone stuck in the passing route, he will definitely pass the route and change the target, so his own position will be meaningless.

So he couldn't just run to the other person's passing route and wait for the other person to bump into him.

He must keep in a very delicate position so that he will not arouse the opponent's vigilance, and can quickly reach the pass route to intercept the ball.

At the same time, if the opponent passes the ball too fast, even if he arrives on the pass route, it will probably be too late.

This requires skills and luck. Not every time can you succeed.

Before this, Zhou Yi was trying to get closer to the target pass route without attracting the opponent's attention, and was waiting for an opportunity.

※※※

In the 61st minute of the game, two minutes after Zhou Yi was "humiliated" by Walcott at speed, Walcott made another comeback.

This time, Kyle took the lead to meet him and he had to want Zhou Yi to be the target of being teased by Walcott again.

At the same time, Gotze also retreated to assist in the defense.

Kyle's active confrontation made Walcott's speed unable to increase, so he had to slow down.

After slowing down, Gotze forced himself up from behind again.

Seeing that Walcott was about to fall into a siege of front and back attacks, Walcott had to consider passing the football, which made him a little annoyed. He originally wanted to find Zhou Yi to use the same trick again, break through from him, and then disrupt Dortmund's defense line.

As a result, Kyle's reaction was faster than he thought.

Faced with the attack of the two people, Walcott vaguely saw a figure wearing a red and white jersey in front of him. Based on his experience, he judged that it should be his teammate Van Persie. Although he did not see a clear number and face, Walcott also decided to pass the football over, and then cut the running position by speed, and throw away the pursuers to intercept it.

Walcott guessed right, that person was Van Persie. He was originally on the wing. After seeing Walcott dribbling on the wing, he moved to the middle and formed a diagonal line with Walcott, so that Walcott could see him and also have a passing angle.

Walcott did pass the ball, passing the ball to him.

But the football did not end up at Van Persie's feet, but was stopped by one foot in the middle.

Zhou Yi stretched out his left foot forward and blocked the rolling football. The force of the football hitting the inside of his foot did not dissipate, but made the football bounce upwards. When it fell down, he used his right foot to tweak the ball to the right and took the ball away!

From interception to activation, it was completed in one go, and suddenly many people didn't react.

I didn’t expect that the person who appeared in that position turned out to be Zhou Yi!

After blocking the ball, Zhou Yi did not continue to lead the ball. His dribbling speed is definitely not as good as Walcott. Continuing to dribble at this time will give Arsenal time to react.

So Zhou Yi dribbled the football out, caught up with the ball and passed it directly, transferring the football to the frontcourt, and the football fell at Shinji Kagawa!

"Bortmond's counterattack!" Marcel Leif came to his spirits. After the second half, Dortmund finally had a attack that could threaten the Arsenal goal!

After Kagawa Shinji stopped the ball, he handed the ball over to Goze who was plugging in the wing.

Gotze passed the football to the middle again, and the person who followed Lewandowski in the middle!

He won the ball and shot directly!

"Robert Lewandowski!!"

Amid the roar of Marcel Lef's long voice, the football was thrust firmly by the Polish shooter's front foot.
Chapter completed!
