Just six minutes into the game, Schalke 04 organized an offense and hit the front of Dortmund's penalty area. Draxler, who had broken through the ball, was knocked to the ground by Sven Bendra. Referee Kissier awarded Schalke 04 a free kick and verbally warned Sven Bend.

The referee at the Ruldby is very difficult to be a good match. No matter how fair your judgment is, it will bring boos.

Just like now, he just verbally warned Sven Bend, and was booed by Schalke 04 fans without playing cards...

But if he really gets a yellow card, he may be booed, maybe he was booed by Dortmund fans, or maybe he was booed by Schalke 04 fans - they think they should give Sven Bend a red card and send him off...

Schalke 04 won a free kick that was slightly to the right from the goal 34 meters away.

Boateng ran to take the free kick.

Home fans were excited and cheered for Boateng with rhythmic applause.

Boateng has made five appearances in the league since transferring to Schalke before the summer transfer window closed, scoring three goals.

Such a good performance made Schalke 04 fans have high hopes for him. I hope he can perform well in Schalke 04 and help Schalke 04 rise again.

Boateng himself is also full of confidence. After joining Schalke 04, he said that he came here for the championship. He believes that Schalke 04 is an ambitious giant team and will definitely make a difference in the league and the Champions League.

The free kick he took out hit the wall and refracted it, which made Schalke 04 fans even more excited!

There were already impatient cheers at the scene.

But this refraction is not particularly exaggerated, so the football changed backwards still allowed the agile Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller to take over.

"Weedenfeller! He made a wonderful save! Although Boateng's free kick failed, it may be a good omen... Both sides will definitely contribute a wonderful game for us!" Duan Xin said fairly and objectively.

He is really fair and objective. Because there are Chinese players in these two games, and both of them are the main players of their respective teams. So whether Schalke wins 04 or Dortmund wins, Duan Xin can regard it as a victory for Chinese players.

In the sixth minute, Boateng's free kick changed direction, threatening Dortmund's goal.

Three minutes later, Dortmund also regained his color.

In the ninth minute, Reus shot hard with his left foot from 22 meters in front of the goal, and was taken into his arms by Hildebran.

However, what everyone is most concerned about is actually the performance of Zhou Yi.

Not only Chinese fans, but also German audiences are very concerned.

Everyone wants to see what Zhou Yi, who returns to the court after more than a month of injury, can perform.

After the game started, Zhou Yi took the ball a lot, but he chose more conservative pass options, and did not control the ball for a long time after getting the ball to attract opponents' defensive players, and then split the football out.

Judging from these ten minutes of games, he is more in the midfield, but not directly organized.

Marcel Leif said: "After all, it is the first game in more than a month, and Zhou Yi may still need to find the feeling..."

Duan Xin tried hard to find the highlights of Zhou Yi's performance in these ten minutes: "Zhou Yi quickly passed the football, and he could pass it accurately, which shows that Zhou Yi's control over the stadium situation is as outstanding and stable as ever..."

As for Zhou Yi's passing ball forward, he kept silent.

Jens Keller is also paying close attention to Zhou Yi's performance. Through the observation of these ten-minute games, he believes that his judgment is correct. Zhou Yi's physical condition has indeed not met the requirements of being able to play in the game. The reason why Klopp let him start was either under pressure from senior management or wanted to take a gamble.

There is a great possibility of a gambler, after all, Klopp is a gambler...

But this is good news.

Keller gave a little snack.

※※※

Klopp was also paying attention to Zhou Yi's performance. He was not surprised or incredible during these ten minutes.

Any player who has just finished a long-term injury and returns to the court for the first time will be likely to show this.

Physically and mentally need to adapt to the rhythm.

In Klopp's view, Zhou Yi is slowly looking for the rhythm.

He didn't expect Zhou Yi to perform well as soon as he came up. Although he knew that Zhou Yi would always surprise him, he was still a little conservative.

Moreover, judging from Zhou Yi's passes, he had been resting for a month and had only two weeks of training together. Zhou Yi was not unfamiliar with his teammates, and his passes were still very fast and accurate.

This is enough.

Zhou Yi's precise pass on the court not only satisfies Klopp, but also surprises others.

Of course they didn't know that although Zhou Yi was injured, he had not given up training for more than a month. He was just training in the virtual world. But that could also help him maintain a certain state.

Yang Muge was not responsible for defending Zhou Yi in this game - it was not that Keller believed that Zhou Yi did not need a dedicated person to guard it, but that Keller did not consider the possibility that Zhou Yi would appear, so he did not arrange a task for Yang Muge to defend Zhou Yi.

Who would have thought that Dortmund would actually let Zhou Yi start!

It completely caught Keller off guard.

During the temporary adjustment, Keller asked Yang Muge's midfielder, Neustte, to defend Zhou Yi in this game.

In Keller's opinion, Neusttet has a strong enough body, and it is really suitable to deal with Zhou Yi who has just recovered from injury. Using his body's crushing has caused great psychological pressure on Zhou Yi, forcing him to be unable to perform at his true level.

As for Yang Muge, because his body is not very strong, his visual impact is not strong, and his excellent running ability, Keller gave him the task of sweeping the midfield - he is not limited to guarding a certain person, but appears in any place where he is needed. This arrangement is actually quite in line with Yang Muge's characteristics. If Yang Muge, who has such excellent running ability, is indeed a waste if he is just used to limit one person...

However, Yang Muge looked at his teammate's tall figure, 1.90 meters tall, 83 kilograms of weight, and close to Zhou Yi, and his physical advantage was indeed very obvious.

But Yang Muge knew that Zhou Yi was not the kind of person who could be overwhelmed by a simple body. On the contrary, will Neustte's tall height and such a heavy weight become a shackle that makes him less flexible when defending Zhou Yi?

Neusttet made a free transfer from Mönchengladbach to Schalke 04 last summer. In the 2011-2012 season, Mönchengladbach performed well, winning fourth in the league under the leadership of Swiss Faford, and qualifying for the Champions League play-offs. Reus made great contributions to the team in terms of offense, who joined Dortmund last summer.

In terms of midfield defense, it was a tough iron gate formed by Neustet and Norwegian iron waist Nordwit, which helped Borussia Mönchengladbach consolidate its defense and achieved outstanding results.

After that season, when the contract expired, he attracted the attention of many wealthy families, and eventually he chose to join Schalke 04.

Last season, he partnered with Yang Muge at Schalke 04 and became the main midfielder. He made thirty-one appearances in a season and scored three goals.

However, this is the first time for him to let him guard Zhou Yi in the game.

Neusttet didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement. He himself was full of confidence and wanted Zhou Yi to see his power.

Ten minutes into the game, he had not suppressed Zhou Yi head-only. But he was not in a hurry. On the contrary, he was quite proud and happy for his successful defense against Zhou Yi - isn't it? Under his defense, Zhou Yi could not even transport shells forward and organize the attack. After getting the ball, he did not dare to control the ball too much and quickly passed the football out. This was clearly avoiding himself!

This is not the first time that Neustte has participated in the Ruhr derby, nor is it the first time to fight Zhou Yi. He knows very well what Zhou Yi can perform under normal conditions.

Today's Zhouyi is obviously different from the normal Zhouyi.
