Chapter 132 The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers
Yan Min stood on the sidelines, waiting for his teammate Shahin to come off the court. He also recalled what his assistant coach Bouvach said to him just now: "...Play it out and use your breakthrough to cause trouble for Bayern Munich's defense line!"
He likes this kind of pre-match instructions and plays it to his fullest, which is so compatible with his appetite.
He remembered the first game he had just arrived in Dortmund, which was Dortmund's German Super Cup match against Bayern Munich at home.
That game opened his eyes, a rustic guy who went abroad for the first time, fully appreciated the highest level of Germany, and made him realize how correct he chose to play football abroad.
And now, he finally had the opportunity to get rid of his identity as a "spectator" and personally be in such a high-level showdown.
Yan Min was ready to beat his hands and couldn't wait.
He kept sitting on the sidelines with his legs raised, just like a racing car that was about to burn tires at the starting point.
Shahin didn't walk down the court, he knew that time was precious to Dortmund. He trotted all the way, came to the sidelines, and then slapped Yan Min to the high-fives.
Before he could put his hands down, Yan Min beside him had already lowered his body and rushed to the court.
"Yan Min! He replaced Shahing. He performed very well in the Champions League against Arsenal, with one goal and one assist, and almost one goal. In the game, his excellent explosiveness and speed, as well as his dribbling at high speed, all left a deep impression on us. I wonder what kind of performance he will perform when facing Bayern Munich this time... "
Marcel Leif is introducing Yan Min to German TV audiences.

After Yan Min came on the court, he immediately found Zhou Yi, told Zhou Yi about Klopp's adjustment in Chinese, and then conveyed it to other teammates through Zhou Yi. His German is fine now, but it is still a bit difficult to speak. In such a tense game, there is no time for him to slowly organize grammatical vocabulary to explain to his teammates.
So he adopted a very clever approach.
"Push Aubameyang to the front line?" Zhou Yi confirmed to Yan Min.
Yan Min nodded: "Yes, I'll play on the left, Aubameyang will play forward and double striker with Mark."
Zhou Yi thought a little in his mind, then nodded: "I understand."
He understood what Klopp was thinking.
Let Aubameyang play the forward, which increases the team's contact point in the penalty area. When the team needs to open the situation from the wing, there is only one mark in the penalty area, which will always affect the team's offensive efficiency.
Although Aubameyang played on the wing at Dortmund, he played as a striker in the Ligue 1 league, and he is not unfamiliar with this position.
So next, Zhou Yi conveyed Klopp's instructions to Aubameyang.
Aubameyang did not raise any objections and changed his position, while Yan Min occupied his original position.
Dortmund completed the substitution adjustment.
※※※
Everyone knows why Klopp is making such a substitution. He hopes to use offense instead of defense. However, the risk of doing so is too great, and there are still questions about whether Yan Min can take on such an important task after being replaced.
In the face of general trend, the player's personal performance does not necessarily determine the outcome of the game.
Yan Min didn't think so much, so he remembered what assistant coach Buvac said to her: "Play it all the way."
Since you are doing your best, what else can you consider?
When Yan Min touched the ball for the first time after he came on the court, he firmly implemented this idea.
After receiving Zhou Yi's pass, he did not take the ball away immediately. Of course, he probably couldn't do it immediately, because right in front of him was Bayern Munich's defensive player. If he did this, he would probably hit the ball directly.
He stopped the football at his feet and his whole body was almost still.
For a fast player, the threat will drop significantly if he can't run.
Yan Min is also a fast player, so of course he should apply this rule.
So when he slowed down and even stopped completely, Bayern Munich right-back Rafinia, who was defending him from the front, relaxed his guard slightly.
But just as Rafinia relaxed her vigilance, Yan Min, who had already stopped, suddenly poked the football forward with her toes, and then started the acceleration on the spot!
Rafinia was completely caught off guard. He was slower than Yan Min in terms of reaction time and startup speed.
When he turned around and chased, Yan Min had already rushed to a place several meters behind him.
"Good ball! Beautiful breakthrough!"
"The startup speed is so fast! The explosive power is too strong!"
The commentators exclaimed one after another.
After the breakthrough, Yan Min sent the football to the middle and Mark formed a shot, but Mark missed it.
No one paid attention to the shot of Mark's shot, but the moment Yan Min broke through Rafinia was returned twice afterwards.
Yan Min went from stationary to activation, and in the blink of an eye, he threw away Rafinia and fully reflected his explosive power.
Klopp and Bouvage looked at each other and both saw joy in each other's eyes.
Yan Min is a very strange player. He is young and has little experience. Logically speaking, such a player should be low-key. However, after several months of contact with him, everyone found that this person was not like this. He always showed confidence and ambitious appearance. This appearance is not always pleasing, but sometimes his shortcomings become advantages.
For example, at this time, he can be free from external factors, such as the hatred between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, the problem of wounded soldiers full of camp... they all put aside and devoted themselves to the game.
Such people can often burst out with huge energy at this time.
Just like the last time I played against Arsenal.
At this stage, Aubameyang should be the starter for most of the time. It is difficult for Yan Min to completely steal Aubameyang's starting position. However, when he comes on as a substitute, he can play a greater role.
On the one hand, because he is physically healthy and fast, the other party's physical fitness declines after dozens of minutes of hard work, so he naturally cannot keep up with Yan Min's rhythm.
On the other hand, letting him play as a substitute can also increase tactical change, making it difficult for opponents to guard against.
※※※
In the 67th minute of the game, Bayern Munich besieged Dortmund in the frontcourt, and they kept looking for opportunities.
But while they were looking for opportunities, Zhou Yi was also looking for opportunities, looking for opportunities to intercept the ball.
He is not good at defense, but it does not mean that he has no contribution to the team's defense.
As long as he chooses the right method, sometimes he can transform into an interceptor master in an instant...
Just like now.
Tony Cross saw that Gotze had already run into the gap in the Dortmund defense line, so he immediately sent a straight pass!
But the football was blocked by Zhou Yi who suddenly came out!
"Zhou Yi! It's so beautiful!"
When Kros saw that his pass was cut, he rushed up and counterattacked.
But Zhou Yi's movements were faster than him. He stopped the ball with his left foot and swung his right foot with one kick!
The football was directly passed by him to the center circle.
Yan Min received a pass from Zhou Yi in a horizontal position, but he did not stop the ball. Instead, he directly wafted the ball in front of the ball with one kick while running, and then accelerated the diagonal line to chase the ball.
This caught Martinez, who was planning to come up to intercept him, was caught off guard. He was preparing to intercept Yan Min head-on, but now he became Yan Min directly waving the football behind him. He had to turn around, and this speed was far short of...
So he reached out to pull Yan Min.
But it didn't pull it!
Yan Min was very fast, and he only grabbed a burst of air.
Yan Min, who forcibly broke through Martinez by speed, accelerated to catch up with football.
However, at this time, Bayern Munich's entire defense line was ahead of Yan Min.
Rafinia and Boateng came up to defend Yan Min together. There was an angle between the two people, one in front and one behind, and the distance was not far, so they could assist each other in defense.
It is not easy for Yan Min to break through such a defense.
When faced with such defense, most people choose to slow down and wait for their teammates to come up to pick them up.
But Yan Min did not do this. Instead, he accelerated the ball and rushed towards Rafinia. When he was approaching Rafinia, he stopped suddenly and changed direction, lifted his right foot and kicked the football outside instep, which meant changing direction and cutting inward.
Rafinia also adjusted her focus and turned around.
But Yan Min's right foot did not really touch the football, but suddenly stopped when he was about to touch the football, and then plucked the ball from the outside instep to the inside of the foot!
He buckled the football to the left again!
At the same time, his body was tilted greatly and almost losing balance, relying on the support of his left foot, he turned toward the original direction of his advance again!
Then he took a quick step and left Rafinia who had no time to adjust her center of gravity!
Yan Min, who passed Rafinia, caught up with the football again, and used his left foot to push the football inward. Boateng came over and planned to stop him.
At the same time, Rafinia hurriedly turned around and chased him back.
If Yan Min hesitated a little, he might be surrounded by two people again.
Facing Boateng, the main central defender of Bayern Munich and the German national team, Yan Min, who was a fledgling, was not afraid at all. He didn't even look up at the opponent. When he lowered his head to ride the ball, he suddenly raised his left foot and drove to the cross.
But when he swung his foot down, he did push the ball to the right.
A fake move!
Boateng was not fooled. When he saw him spiking, he turned his body back and continued to stand in front of him, forcing him to slow down and prevent him from breaking into the penalty area.
Rafinia is approaching him, too.
Yan Min had just dunked the football to his right foot. This time he finally looked up and observed the penalty area. He saw Aubameyang trying desperately into it from outside.
So he swung his right foot again. This time he probably made a cross?
Seeing him swing his feet, Boateng also stretched out his feet and blocked Yan Min's cross.
He believed that Yan Min should make a cross this time, because if he didn't make a cross, he would concede the ball.
But he made a wrong judgment...
Yan Min actually dunked his right foot and dunked the football back!
At the same time, he turned around and broke through again!
Just bye bye Boateng, he rushed into the penalty area!
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!" When Yan Min succeeded in breaking through, a huge scream sounded in the stands.
Chapter completed!
