Zhuo Yang lay on the turf with his back to the sky and breathed heavily, he didn't get up in a hurry, he wanted to take the opportunity to rest and relax.

The game has entered the second half, the score on the field is 1:1, and Zhuo Yang suffered the most painful game since his debut. Yes, it's pain.

From the moment he stepped onto the court, he felt very bad, his steps were unusually heavy, and his joints were a little stiff. Zhuo Yang knew that he was in the bottleneck period, but he never expected that his bottleneck period would be so terrifying.

After the match against Bayern Munich a month ago, Zhuo Yang felt the bottleneck the next day, according to Robert Baggio's analysis, this is because he has encountered extremely strong opponents, and the football has improved by leaps and bounds, and this growth rate exceeds the law of human motor function, which caused the bottleneck.

In that game, Zhuo Yang successively played against Hargreaves, Ballack, and Piggy Schweinsteiger, and these three are all first-class strong players in today's football. Such a high-intensity continuous confrontation allowed Zhuo Yang to make great progress under pressure, and also caused various body functions to be upgraded in order to adapt to Zhuo Yang's progress.

But what Robert Baggio can't explain is why Zhuo Yang's state is declining day by day, and it is a sharp decline.

The bottleneck period for everyone is just a slump, but this slump is not serious, it is definitely not to the point of not being able to play, and even many games can still have outstanding performances. During the six-month to one-year slump, everyone just dropped one level, 100 points became 90 points, Baggio became Piero, Maradona became Platini, but Piero and Platini are still very good stars.

No one has had a second ups and downs during the downturn, and no one has been falling like Zhuo Yang.

If Zhuo Yang can score 90 points against Bayern Munich, then he will only have 80 when he plays Mainz, and Nuremberg can have 75 at most. It's all the way down, and when you face AEK Athens today, it's a 50 points at best.

At first, it was only the feeling of the ball, and then there was a problem with the timing of the attack. At that time, Zhuo Yang was not worried, because his technical movements and defensive ability were not a big problem, and passing and intercepting were not a problem. But then, Zhuo Yang lost inspiration on the pitch and found it difficult to fully mobilize the team. However, this is not the most terrifying, to this day, Zhuo Yang found that his technical movements have become stiff, and the speed of his movements has dropped by several grades, which was originally the foundation for him to break into professional football to survive, as long as his personal skills and action frequency do not decline, Zhuo Yang will always be a first-class player.

But now it's a big problem!

The sluggishness in these aspects caused Zhuo Yang not only to have no improvement in attack, but also to start to struggle in defense.

The only thing Zhuo Yang could do was to keep running, running desperately, trying to make up for the slump with running. However, the bottleneck also seemed to affect his fitness, and it was only seventy minutes in the second half, and although he was not exhausted, he was already exhausted. And his fitness has not been in this situation since last year's second division.

However, although these are troubles, they will make Zhuo Yang worry and make him anxious, but they cannot make him miserable. What pained Zhuo Yang was that he didn't know when it would all come to an end.

Baggio has said that all breakthroughs are done inadvertently on the court, but now it is the last game before the winter break, and it must be impossible to break through here, because the bottleneck is too short to start, less than forty days away. But if you can't break through this game, at the rate of your decline, after more than a month of winter break, it will be enough for you to play in the Bundesliga, and you can only go to Mr Tuchel's B team for the time being.

But if you are still like this bear a month or two after the start of the second half of the season, by that time, not to mention the third division, the original fifth regional league may not be able to play.

If it's really like Baggio said, it will never break through for a year, hehe, Lao Tzu will simply announce his retirement in a few days of Christmas, and he can't afford to lose that person.

Although it is almost impossible to achieve a bottleneck breakthrough in this game, Zhuo Yang did not give up the possibility of that eventuality. He tried to shoot at every chance in the game, to see if he could suddenly 'wake up', shoot from distance if he couldn't break through, shoot as much as he wanted, like a stinky hooligan, anyway, he has unlimited right to fire at Madiburg. However, all the shots were either flying high, mistaken or not fully impacted, and were easily confiscated by AEK Athens' two-metre-tall goalkeeper Konstantinos.

Fortunately, AEK Athens is indeed not a strong team, and the tactical style of play is relatively rough, long passes and rapid attacks are the mainstream, and headers are played more. Madiburg, who has a technical flow, is more restrained in this style of play and does not intimidate the opponent's wide opening and closing. AEK Athens has a tough style and even moves very rudely to get a high winning bonus in order to win, but the Madiborg boys are also-for-tat, and they don't lose to them at all.

Although the captain Zhuo Yang was mediocre and scored all over the field, the young players of Madiburg have grown up quickly and can support them in their respective positions. It's just that the experience brought by AEK's general age of ten years older than Athens is beyond the reach of the boys.

As a result, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and both sides are evenly divided both on the field and on the score.

AEK Athens scored a goal at the beginning of the second half, when their core player Kachulanis took advantage of the lack of attention of the whole team in Madiburg and suddenly went straight into the penalty area, Handanovic did not touch the football but brought down the opponent's striker Ribeilopoulos.

When Kachulanis took the penalty, Zhuo Yang, who had lost his inspiration, naturally could not give Handanovic guidance, which made the man full of expectations messy for a while, and Karachunis was like hitting an empty goal.

However, just five minutes later, Khedira intercepted the ball overhead from Bulgaria international M. Petkov in midfield, and Rehamsik quickly went down the ground with his cross reversed to the 12-yard line, and the returning musketeer Gomez understood it, stepped back and swept the ball back to the back post, and the disappointed Ibisevic comfortably picked up a big bargain.

Next, the backlines of both sides showed a high standard, and the field was vigorous but could not create a substantial threat to the opponent, and it was clear that no one could help anyone. But just then, Madiburg received very bad news.

In another match of Group H of the UEFA Cup, which was held at the same time, at the Petrovsky Stadium in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the cold wind and snow, Zenit's Igor Denisov scored a goal from distance in the 61st minute of the second half to give Zenit a 1-0 lead over Sevilla.

Madiburg is in danger!
