Chapter 98 Two goals lead
At the beginning of the second half, neither team made a substitution. Especially for Dortmund, Zhou Yi was not replaced.
This result was not surprising to Keller.
This made him even more determined to make his judgment - Dortmund must have wanted to take the lead as much as possible in the first half, but failed, so they could only let Zhou Yi continue to play in the second half.
In this way, Zhou Yi must be close to being exhausted and exhausted. He shouldn't last long. It was correct for him to let Neusttet continue to guard Zhou Yi during the halftime break. With Neusttet's physical advantage, Zhou Yi has almost no room for activity...
Under such circumstances, Keller began to look forward to equalizing the score in the second half, then overtake the score and reversed the victory...
But the reality is a bit cruel.
The second half only started six minutes and Dortmund got a very good offensive opportunity.
At that time, Schalke 04 was besieging Dortmund's goal, they took the ball from the left side of Dortmund's penalty area and wanted to pass it in.
However, their pass was blocked by Sven Bend and fell to Zhou Yi's feet.
Zhou Yi turned his back to the attack direction at that time.
Seeing him get the ball, Neustte rushed up quickly and planned to stick to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi, who had no time to turn around, directly knocked the football behind him with his heel.
Behind him, Aubameyang received his pass and then dribbled forward with great strides!
This is a good opportunity for Dortmund to fight back!
"Aubameyang! He is very fast!"
Without Marcel Lef's reminder, Schalke 04's players are very clear.
Yang Muge rushed towards Aubameyang when he received the ball, but was still left behind by Aubameyang at speed.
Yang Muge was not discouraged. He was chasing him back. In front of him, Hovedes was already blocking Aubameyang's way forward. Yang Muge believed that as long as he could attack Hovedes from the front and back, he would still have the chance to cut off Aubameyang's ball.
Aubameyang also saw Hovedes. He didn't want to give Hovedes a chance to stop him. So when facing Hovedes, he not only did not slow down, but instead tried hard to push the football under his feet forward, and then accelerated over Hovedes!
Behind Hovedes is a huge gap - except for Hovedes in the entire backcourt of Schalke 04, there is only one goalkeeper Hildebran. With Aubameyang's speed, it is too easy to throw away Hovedes!
Yang Muge, who was behind, saw Aubameyang speeding up and rushed out, quickly shook himself away. He did not continue to chase Aubameyang, but this did not mean that he gave up. He just changed the direction of his pursuit - he ran directly to the penalty area.
"Aubameyang! Ahha! His speed is so fast!"
※※※
After Aubameyang used his speed to catch up with football, other Schalke 04 players also returned to defense.
Among them, right back Atsuto Uchida finally caught up with Aubameyang in front of the penalty area and blocked him.
Aubameyang did not continue to force breakthroughs by speed, and now there is not much room for him to perform his speed.
He slowed down and looked up at the current situation inside and outside the penalty area.
Reus had already taken the lead in killing the penalty area, but at the same time he was also entangled by Yang Muge who returned to defense.
Reus did not stop, but continued to run into the penalty area. He took Yang Muge away as soon as he ran.
At the same time, the other Schalke 04 players who returned to defense were all coming to Aubameyang who was holding the ball. Now Aubameyang is the most dangerous person.
But far away from the penalty area, there is a blank space!
Aubameyang quickly passed the football sideways, and Mark, who arrived later, received the ball there!
No one was on guard against him at all!
He calmly stopped the ball, then swung his right foot, rubbed the ball into an arc, bypassed the attacking goalkeeper Hildebran, and flew into the goal from the inside of the near post!
"Ohhhhhhhh! Mark Wagner! 2:0! Dortmund took a two-goal lead!"
"What a typical Dortmund-style quick counterattack! It's so fast!"
Amid the cheers of the commentators, Dortmund's players celebrated their goals at Schalke 04 for the second time.
Zhou Yi also accelerated and joined the celebratory army.
When Mark scored the goal, he had just run to the center circle. In this counterattack, he first passed the ball and then didn't participate.
However, this goal can still be considered to be his instigation.
The commentators also noticed this.
"Zhou Yi launched this fast counterattack with a clever heel pass. If he had not passed the ball decisively with his heel, but had to turn around and pass the ball again, I'm afraid he had been entangled by Neusttet?" Marcel Leif said.
"It should have been a stalemate Ruhr Derby, because after the Zhou Yi, everything seemed to be simple..." Duan Xin praised it even more numb.
※※※
Yang Muge, who ran back to the frontcourt and chased to the front of the goal, slipped to the ground when Mark shot. He didn't get up, just lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
He has tried his best, but there are some things that he can't change alone.
Around him, the other Schalke 04 players also seemed very frustrated.
After the penalty kick was not scored in the first half, it was a big blow to the team and the impact has not yet dissipated.
Jens Keller on the sidelines was very angry. He hoped that the team could equalize the score as soon as possible in the second half, so he allowed the team to strengthen the offensive. But who thought that the result of strengthening the offensive was a counterattack from Dortmund... Now that one ball behind has become two balls behind, how should Schalke 04 turn the tables?
As for Dortmund, after falling behind two goals, replace Zhou Yi and achieve their tactical goals...
etc!
Keller suddenly thought that if Klopp really wanted to replace Zhou Yi, it might not be a bad thing for him.
Isn’t Dortmund, who lost the Zhou Yi, just a tiger without teeth? What’s there to be afraid of?
I’m afraid that it will be Schalke 04’s chance at that time!
So he turned his head to look at Dortmund's coaching seat and found that Klopp really asked assistant coach Buvac to warm up on the bench. It was the one who warmed up... Mkhitaryan!
When Zhou Yi was injured, Mkhitaryan replaced him as the team's starting midfielder. In this game, he became a substitute because Zhou Yi started. Isn't it obvious what it means to warm up now?
Klopp is going to replace Zhou Yi, so he uses Mkhitaryan!
Thinking of this, Keller was excited.
There are still opportunities, there are still opportunities!
So he walked to the sidelines and shouted to the players on the court: "Don't panic! The second half has just begun! This is the Roulder derby! We must not surrender!"
※※※
Although the second half has just begun, Klopp is indeed considering replacing Zhou Yi.
They are all leading by two goals, why not replace Zhou Yi?
You know, this is a Roul Derby. The game is very intense. What if Zhou Yi gets injured again?
So he asked Buvac to warm up with Mkhitaryan and gave him five minutes.
※※※
The TV broadcast also noticed the adjustment, and they quickly gave Mkhitaryan a close-up shot of him who had been to warm up.
Marcel Leif said: "It seems that Klopp is already considering preserving his strength... He must have felt completely successful when he is able to lead two goals in the Roulder derby. So he began to consider replacing Zhou Yi..."
Although Duan Xin also wanted to see Zhou Yi have more playing time and better performances, such as assists and goals. Zhou Yi instigated two goals in this game, but none of them were directly assisted by him. However, he also knew very well that under the current circumstances, Zhou Yi had just recovered from injury and was replaced early.
"In order to avoid injury and to give Zhou Yi a better rest opportunity, Klopp is going to replace him..."
Of course, this scene was also seen by Schalke 04 fans. They are not fools, so they naturally know what this means.
Klopp plans to replace Zhou Yi in advance. He believes that the overall situation is decided and Dortmund is determined to win!
This angered Schalke 04 fans.
The reason why the Ruhrderby is intense is that no matter how different the strength of the Lyon ball is, it can always be evenly matched when they collide.
Now that Dortmund is leading by two goals, you feel that you can win the game! You don’t take our Schalke 04 seriously at all!
Schalke 04 not only has to endure the pain of falling behind two goals, but also has to be ridiculed and humiliated by the derby rival. How could they bear it?
So Schalke 04 fans in the stands responded quickly to Dortmund's approach.
First, the boo is given to the arrogant Dortmund, and then the singing and roar are used to inspire the team. I hope Schalke 04 can cheer up quickly and give the arrogant Dortmund a headache!
In fact, there is no need to remind Schalke 04 fans that some Schalke 04 players also saw Mkhitaryan running to warm up.
Dortmund has just led two goals here, and Klopp can't wait to replace Zhou Yi... There are not many players in Schalke 04 that can tolerate.
Chapter completed!
