Chapter 11 Worth the Fare

In fact, when the match against Dortmund, the Chinese Super League was in progress as scheduled. For Guangzhou Hengyuan, they did not get more rest time just because they wanted to play against Dortmund. They just squeezed out the usual weekly rest time to play a game with Dortmund. So, they didn't have to face a weekly double match now.

Hengyuan had just finished a away game in the Chinese Super League and returned to Guangzhou without stopping. The whole team was engaged in training preparing for Dortmund.

Although this is very hard, Hengyuan is still looking forward to this game.

"We hope to compete with the top European teams. Only by fighting against strong teams can we improve ourselves." This is the common voice of almost all Hengyuan players interviewed.

Lippi did not send a substitute to the bench just because it was an unplanned game. For his team, this is a rare learning opportunity, and it would be a waste to use substitute players to deal with it.

Therefore, in the starting list announced before the game, Guangzhou Hengyuan has made all the main players.

Although Beijing TV once used world stars like Ronaldo and Inzagi to mock Guangzhou Hengyuan's unsuccessful nouveau riche transfer concept, in fact, there is no such world-class star in Hengyuan today.

There was a Barrios who transferred from Dortmund that year, which was the Bundesliga Golden Boot. However, his performance in Hengyuan was very poor. In the end, he had an unhappy relationship with Hengyuan Club in order to leave China. According to the team, it spread rumors that Hengyuan owed his salary. In the end, Hengyuan Club sold him 7 million euros to Sparta, a Russian Super League giant.

Currently, there are many domestic international players in this Hengyuan team, but in terms of foreign aid, the most famous one is the core Conca of the Argentine midfield organization.

The midfielder of the former Brazilian League best player came to Hengyuan in 2011 with a transfer of $10 million. At that time, everyone was frightened by Hengyuan's wealth, and some people thought Hengyuan had become Kaizi again, who was "silly and has a lot of money".

However, after joining Hengyuan, Conca quickly won the love of fans. With his outstanding performance, Hengyuan helped win the Chinese Super League championship for two consecutive seasons. He was also named "King of the Heavenly River".

Although this player has never been selected for the Argentine national team and has not been favored by European teams, he is the well-deserved number one superstar in the Chinese Super League.

In addition to Conca, Hengyuan's famous frontcourt South American Trident also has two strikers from Brazil, Muric and Elkeson.

They are much smaller than Conka, but their strength cannot be underestimated.

Muric is a very fast striker. He is a top-notch player in the entire Chinese Super League and Asia.

Elkeson was once selected for the Brazilian National Youth Team, with comprehensive skills and outstanding speed.

The two of them charged in front, and there was Kongka behind them to deliver shells. Hengyuan's trident operated smoothly and swept across the Chinese Super League. It is currently in good momentum in the AFC Champions League.

The three of them are also the reason why others always rely on foreign aid to attack Hengyuan.

In terms of offense, Hengyuan is indeed very dependent on these three South Americans. Although the Chinese international Gao Lin is also the main player in Hengyuan, he can only give Muric and Elkeson a goal, and he doesn't score many goals.

※※※

At 8 o'clock in the evening of Beijing time, Tianhe Stadium was full and crowded. The referee whistle sounded, and the match between Guangzhou Hengyuan and Dortmund began.

Zhou Yi also started in this game.

At the beginning, when Dortmund faced Hengyuan, most players might not take Hengyuan's players seriously, after all, the strength gap between the two sides was very big.

But at the beginning of the game, Hengyuan used Conka's organization and Muric's speed to create several opportunities in succession, which caused cheers from Guangzhou fans in the stands to burst into cheers.

One of them, it was even close to scoring a goal.

The camera captured the scene where Zhou Yi shouted loudly to his teammates on the field.

"I think Zhou Yi must be reminding them not to underestimate the enemy..." CCTV's commentator guessed. "I don't know what he was calling..."

In fact, Zhou Yi shouted: "They are Chinese champions! You should be serious!"

Hengyuan's continuous offensive made Chinese fans feel very happy. Although they are fans of Zhou Yi, when playing between domestic clubs and foreign clubs, unless they are fans of Dortmund and not Hengyuan's fans, they will support their own national teams.

Reasonably, it is unlikely to expect Guangzhou Hengyuan to defeat Dortmund, but they hope that Hengyuan can score at least one goal in the game, and the style and level of the game are achieved.

So when Hengyuan's offense was very exciting, the Guangzhou fans in the stands were all excited.

But they weren't able to be happy for long.

After several consecutive attacks but failed to score, Dortmund finally came back to his senses and realized that if they underestimated the enemy, they might really lose the game, which would be embarrassing...

Once Dortmund starts to take it seriously, there will be basically no chance of eternity.

Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund, but when he fights Hengyuan, he doesn’t have to make any effort, and Dortmund doesn’t have to rely on him as his core, and others are enough.

Before the game, Hengyuan also arranged special people to guard Zhou Yi. In the actual game, he realized that they were actually thinking too much - Dortmund could easily defeat them without Zhou Yi...

Of course, Zhou Yi can't walk on the court and play soy sauce. The first Chinese fans don't want to do it - they came to see Zhou Yi's performance.

His several wonderful passes attracted cheers from the fans in the stands.

In the past, this level of cheer would only sound after the goal appeared, but now it appears frequently when Zhou Yi passes the ball.

In the 27th minute, Zhou Yi made a wonderful straight pass in the midfield and sent the ball to Hengyuan's ribs. Kuba received the ball there and then passed it across the cross immediately.

Mark Wagner followed up in the middle and easily pushed the ball.

Although Zengcheng tried hard to pounce back and made a save move, it was too late.

After scoring, Dortmund played even more easily.

Before the end of the first half, Dortmund won another goal and rewritten the score to 2:0.

During the halftime break, Zhou Yi was not replaced. He continued to stay on the court in the second half. Guangzhou fans applauded Klopp's approach - they didn't want to watch Zhou Yi's halftime game.

Dortmund, who had already led two goals in the second half, began to control the rhythm under the leadership of Zhou Yi.

They passed on and cooperated continuously, just like they played in Europe, and it was difficult for Hengyuan players to break the football no matter how they ran.

Even Guangzhou fans were impressed by the skillful passing and cooperation between Dortmund players, and cheers rang out in the stands.

Just as Hengyuan became impatient due to Dortmund's continuous transmission, Dortmund suddenly changed its rhythm.

Zhou Yi sent the football forward and quickly stepped forward.

Mark passed the football to Zhouyi who had already run to the empty local area.

After receiving the pass from the penalty area line, he directly shot a long shot. The football was rubbed into an arc by him, bypassed Zengcheng's high-stretched arm, hit the lower edge of the crossbar, and bounced into the goal!

"Zhou Yi!!! Good goal!!! World Wave!!!" CCTV's commentator shouted excitedly - Dortmund depends on Zhou Yi's performance in this game. Now Zhou Yi has scored the goal, which is simply perfect!

When Zhou Yi scored a goal, there were also huge cheers in Tianhe Stadium, which were more than any previous one.

Both Dortmund scored goals, but the first two goals definitely did not have such momentum.

Zhou Yi, who scored the goal, did not celebrate the goal in front of his national teammates. He just waved to the Chinese fans in the stands.

Klopp also applauded Zhou Yi's goal on the sidelines, and then prepared to replace Zhou Yi - let Zhou Yi score the goal, which was also an explanation. Now, for the interests of the team, he wants to replace Zhou Yi to avoid injury and excessive fatigue.

Two minutes after Zhou Yi scored a goal, Zhou Yi was replaced by Shahin.

Zhou Yi applauded and thanked the fans of the audience, and everyone stood up and applauded him to cheer.

At this time, no one cared about the outcome of the game. Zhou Yi started and performed well, and scored a world wave. They felt that the ticket price was worth the price.
