Chapter 150 The quagmire
After the "China Derby", Chinese fans were still talking about this showdown, and supporters from He Ying and Sun Pan started arguing over who won.
He Ying's supporters believed that He Ying broke through Sun Pan's goal and slapped Sun Pan, who was provocative before the game with practical actions. Moreover, this away goal is worth a thousand gold, which is likely to lay the foundation for Paris Saint-Germain's promotion in the future. Such performance is of course considered to be He Ying's win.
Sun Pan's supporters believe that the team's score is Atletico Madrid's lead, that is, Sun Pan won. As for whether He Ying's away goal is an advantage and whether it can help Paris Saint-Germain laugh to the end, it is uncertain, and it cannot be used to declare He Ying's victory.
However, in China, such a quarrel is not a big deal. Most people's attention angle is not so weird. They believe that no matter the winner of this game, the winner is Chinese players. The two Chinese players performed well, showing their level to everyone on the top stage in Europe, and attracted more attention from European media and fans. Their outstanding performance is the best advertisement. In the future, more powerful Chinese players may be able to go abroad and play football in Europe more easily.
The day after Atletico Madrid's home game against Paris Saint-Germain, Chinese media and fans will wait for another Chinese player in the Champions League.
Dortmund, where Zhou Yi is located, is going to challenge the Donetsk Miners away.
Unlike the last game, there is no suspense in this game. In the right form, Dortmund, which is in a strong state, can't beat Donneske Miners even if it is a away game?
Even the German media think so.
At that time, Dortmund was drawn with the Donetsk miners, and it was considered to have drawn the top draw.
※※※
Sun Pan and He Ying, who were fighting to the death on the court the day before, also logged into QQ today, and watched live TV with everyone in the group while discussing in the group. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Like everyone else, they thought Dortmund would definitely win this game easily.
But after the competition began, the situation did not develop in the direction people thought.
In the heavy snow in Donetsk, Ukraine, Dortmund fell into a tough battle, just like this field, they struggled.
On slippery turf, they have difficulty controlling the football, and pass mistakes have increased significantly.
Although it also snows in winter in Germany and the snow is not small, all Bundesliga stadiums have super efficient geothermal facilities, so there will be no snow on the turf of the stadium and the stadium can be kept relatively dry.
But the geothermal facilities at Donbas Arena, the home court of the Donetsk Miners, seem to be inefficient in work or useless at all. There is even snow in some places on the field, the field is muddy and slippery, and Dortmund's players are very uncomfortable on it.
In contrast, the players of the Donetsk Miners are at ease. They use their active running and fierce defense to make Dortmund's players uncomfortable.
The game started thirty minutes, and no one could break the deadlock, and most of the football was in midfield.
But in the 31st minute, the deadlock was broken. It was not the powerful Dortmund who scored the goal first, but the home team Donesque Miners!
"Srnner!! Beautiful free kick! He scored the first record for the Donesque Miners!"
Amid the cheers of the commentator, Serna, the captain of the Donetsk Miners, jumped and dived, gliding on the snow. His teammates followed suit and rushed over to find him to celebrate the goal.
Behind them were Dortmund players who were confused and came to the away game with the intention of easily defeating their opponents. Unexpectedly, they fell into a hard battle in the game and were scored first!
At this time, the confused Dortmund players heard Zhou Yi's voice. He slapped his hands in the snow and shouted: "It's no big deal! This is a away game after all!"
After attracting everyone's attention, Zhou Yi continued to shout: "Set a small goal first, for example, strive for a away goal first. Keep a calm mind and allow others to score goals in their home court!"
After he said this, many Dortmund players realized that they were too optimistic before. After all, this is the home court of the Donesque Miners. Is there anything wrong with them leading the goal in their home court?
In preparation for the competition, you should be mentally prepared like this.
Since you have lost the ball, try to equalize the score. Not only can you equalize the score, but you can also get a away goal, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
※※※
So after the game started again, Dortmund's players quickly adjusted their mentality and began to pay more attention to this opponent.
Zhou Yi also adjusted his organizational offensive strategy on the slippery turf.
He tried to pass fewer balls that looked cool and thoughtful but made it harder for his teammates to catch. The kind of pass looks beautiful but would risk losing balance when he catches the ball.
He uses some very ordinary passes, but he can guarantee his teammates to receive the ball.
Under such harsh venue conditions, being able to catch the ball is the highest requirement.
And only after you can catch the ball, you can talk about offensive opportunities. If you can't even get the ball, no matter how good the opportunity is, it is just a possibility.
Dortmund changed his mentality and took steady steps, but he actually got back his disadvantage in the situation.
And in the 41st minute, the tenth minute after conceding the ball, Dortmund reached the wing after a series of passes and handed it to Gotze to cross. Then Lewandowski headed the ball in the middle and pushed the ball into the goal of the Donetsk Miners!
"Lewandowski! He equalized the score for Dortmund! 1:1! Dortmund won a valuable away goal!"
※※※
The first half ended shortly after Dortmund equalized the score.
Although he conceded a goal, he also scored a goal. For Dortmund, the final result of the first half was acceptable.
After fifteen minutes of halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The two sides continued to fight in the midfield and were unable to break the deadlock any longer.
For Dortmund, when facing such harsh climate and venue conditions away, the last 1:1 was completely acceptable to them. During the halftime break, Klopp warned his disciples to be patient and to win a draw away is an acceptable result, so don't worry.
Under such circumstances, the Donesque miners took the lead in making adjustments.
In the 62nd minute, their head coach Lucescu replaced Brazilian midfielder Douglas Costa with forward Tyson Baross Freda, who was also from Brazil.
Replacing a midfielder and removing a forward is to consolidate the defense while strengthening the control of the midfield. Because both sides were basically entangled in the midfield before, if they could control the midfield, they could create more opportunities.
This substitution from the Donetsk Miners had an immediate effect.
In the 68th minute, Donetsk Miners' defender Yaroslav Rakitsky assisted Douglas Costa, who had just been on the court, who took the lead for Donetsk Miners!
"Douglas Costa! Douglas Costa!!" The Ukrainian narrator was excited, and he kept shouting the names of the goal player repeatedly. "We took the lead again!"
Over the Donbas Arena, cheers from the fans of the Donnesque Miners were heard.
Amid the huge cheers, Klopp shook his head helplessly.
This ball should not be lost if the court and weather are good, because Hummels slipped at a critical moment while defending...
His fall left Douglas Costa, who was in the front, unmarked, and of course he could easily score the football into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.
Regarding such a goal loss, Klopp could only sigh that God was standing on the side of the Donesque Miners.
※※※
After the Donesque Miners took the lead 2:1, everyone in the group of excluding Lao Guo was sighing about the tenacity of the Donesque Miners.
"If Dortmund loses to Donetsk Miners away, it would be embarrassing!" Sun Pan said.
"Before the game, everyone thought Dortmund could win easily, but now after watching the game for almost 70 minutes, I think it would be completely acceptable if Dortmund could win 1:2 in the end..." Guo Nu said.
※※※
But Klopp did not think that 1:2 is acceptable. If it is 1:1, he can accept it, and 2:2 he can accept it, but 1:2 cannot.
So he replaced Captain Kyle with Mark in the 70th minute.
This is a signal to strengthen the offense.
Since Mark returned from injury, Dortmund has no longer been an unstoppable main force. Before he was injured, he was the best candidate on the front line. At that time, Lewandowski had not yet appeared completely.
During his severe injury for a year, Lewandowski broke out completely and became the team's number one scorer. It would be difficult for Mark to regain the main position from him. In addition, with the introduction of Reus, Mark became a rotation player in the team.
However, Mark had no complaints. He was a loyal Dortmund fan. He was actually very similar to Groschloitz. He could only play for his beloved team. He didn't care whether it was right or where to play.
As long as he is allowed to play, he will play seriously and faithfully perform the tasks given to him by the head coach.
In fact, the head coach likes such players very much because he does not cause trouble and has strength. Such players are indispensable to any team.
After playing, Mark ran hard on the court and created opportunities for the team. He was not greedy for the ball, nor did he have to control the ball in a muddy and slippery field.
After more than 70 minutes of running and trampling back and forth by players from both sides, the stadium's turf was actually overwhelmed.
The movement of football on the ground is becoming more and more irregular, so it is naturally more difficult for players to control the ball.
Why can the Donesque Miners take the lead? Because they play very simply. After getting the ball, they drive forward with one big foot. If they can get the ball, they have a chance to shoot. If they can't get the ball, they can't get the ball. At worst, they will be a waste of time.
Such an offense is actually not good-looking and may not be efficient, but it is very practical in this weather and venue.
On the contrary, Dortmund's offense is a little more complicated.
Seeing that the game time was getting less and less, Zhou Yi realized that some changes must be made.
Chapter completed!
