Chapter 485: Abandoned Ones

Kyle looked at Lin Yi's expression and knew that he was fine, and he was relieved.

In fact, the more famous the player is at a young age, the more affected he will be when he encounters some setbacks and blows.

Just like Pogba in the game just now, the abnormal performance in this game is likely to affect his performance in the future.

"That's right. Just now I looked at the mobile phone push and said that Michelle had already dealt with Mark Baltra. Is this guy doing things so thrilling right now? At first, I thought it was going to be yellow. I didn't expect him to get a hand to press the whistle out. ”

"At first, I thought it was going to be yellow, but fortunately, Michelle's ability to operate is still very powerful. But then again, you also have credit for this. Kyle suddenly said something like this.

Lin Yi is really a little confused now, what credit do I have? I don't know Baltra, I don't know him, I don't have the possibility of convincing him or trying to win him, it's impossible for a player, let alone to influence FC Barcelona and the hierarchy.

"Because Barcelona is still thinking about the possibility of bringing you in, so selling Baltra to us can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill."

Lin Yi was speechless, this is also my credit? But when I think about it, it seems that this is also the case, and there are indeed many clubs that have formed a very friendly and stable cooperative relationship with this back-and-forth of player sales, and they have exchanged information in terms of players.

"I'll have to take a good look at the kid's current form when I go back, because Pique and Mascherano are too stable, so he has not played very much this season, and although the physical reserves must be very gratifying, it's hard to say how good he is."

After Kyle said this, he couldn't help frowning, the consumption that this game brought to Dortmund must be huge. But the next meeting is coming in two weeks, so should we take a break in the next round of the league?

The 22nd round of the league is against Bayer Leverkusen, although there is no Son Xingmin, but Leverkusen still retains a certain competitiveness. Such an opponent must not be underestimated...... But then it's the Champions League.

Lin Yi looked at Kyle's expression, as if he understood the coach's concern, "My physical fitness is fine, I can play." ”

Kyle nodded, "Now I finally understand why February is a fixed time for a lot of teams to collapse. ”

"Osman is also in good shape, so he can play a dozen." Lin Yi couldn't help but give Kyle a word of advice.

"That's for sure, although it didn't cost too much transfer fee, but I was also thoughtful in buying this kid."

Kyle pondered how to deal with the next extremely dense schedule, and understood the reason why those giants were competing for Lin Yi.

Looking at the whole of Europe, the core superstar with such physical fitness, apart from Lin, is probably only Real Madrid's Cristiano.

The rest of the fixtures are very unfriendly for Borussia Dortmund, not only because they have a lot of games, but more importantly, most of the games are played away from home.

After returning to Dortmund and meeting with Baltra to join, the team immediately threw themselves into the preparation of the league.

The very handsome centre-back has settled into his new club quite well, and his defensive skills are solid and young, and he is very much favored by Kell. Of course, Kyle bought him for a very large reason.

In the words that Kyle said to Lin Yi in private, "Mats really thinks that I don't know about the eyebrows between him and Bayern Munich? ”

In practice, Baltra not only defended well, but also scored a header from a corner kick with his excellent positioning, which strengthened Kyle's determination to reuse him.

Almost non-stop, after two days of training and a day of rest, the whole Dortmund team went to the away side.

Bayer Leverkusen have fallen outside mid-table in the league table at the moment, and they have not yet fully overcome the pain of missing Son Heung-min in attack, so they have lost their way this season.

Still, when the game started and fans saw Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up, everyone felt that the line-up was a bit too rudimentary.

Many people even feel that this game should not be given up by Kyle, right? It's only been about 20 rounds to give up, isn't it a bit too early?

The goalkeeper is Weidenfeller. Schmelzer on the left, Grosskreutz on the right, and Baltra, who had been with the club for less than a week, was already in the starting line-up with Ginter. In the midfield position, the teenager Weigel partnered with Shahin, who has been suffering from minor injuries, and Shinji Kagawa finally returned to the long-lost starting list. On the offensive line, only Lin Yi is the main stable force, and the fans feel very uneasy when they see Ji Dongyuan, who is sitting on the bench and was almost bought by the German Second Division. Fortunately, Ousmane Dembele on the other side has been performing well since he joined.

Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, clearly did not give up their chances of winning because they were at the bottom of the rankings.

They arguably fielded their strongest squad and tried to break Borussia Dortmund, who had won all of their games so far, in the second half.

In this state of the opponent, Dortmund started very hard, and was suppressed by the opponent for the first ten minutes.

Kiessling was up front, and he used his height and strength to threaten the Dortmund backline time and time again.

Fortunately, it was Baltra who started today, a candidate who surprised everyone, and was called by the media after the game as Kyle's genius in arranging the lineup.

Not very strong and of average height, Baltra has been relying on his positioning and defensive skills to interfere with Kiessling. So much so that Kiessling, who has been looking for opportunities, is just constantly making all kinds of mistakes.

Borussia Dortmund played very badly today, and Shinji Kagawa was almost completely unable to control the midfield.

This chaotic situation continued until the final ten minutes, and the score of the two teams was still 0-0, while Bayern Munich, for their part, had already won the game by beating their opponents.

Fortunately, these were not understood by the Dortmund players on the field, and did not add too much psychological pressure to them.

Lin Yi, who was restricted to death by his opponent, didn't have a chance today, and the sequelae of the last fierce battle were reflected, although Lin Yi's running was still very positive, but the new concept could feel that he was a little unrefreshed.

The situation was so deadlocked, it was not until Kiessling was cut off by Baltra that Dortmund, who had been dormant for the entire half, finally formed an attacking opportunity.

Baltra is different from the average La Masia-born central defender, in addition to the basic skills of short passes, he also has a long pass, which can fly over most of the field and assist the striker directly.

Today's scene seems to be very suitable for such a kick to try it.

Baltra, who had the ball to break the ball, looked up at the front court while blocking Kiessling with his body to prevent him from winning the ball.

Today, Lin Yi appeared in the same position that Royce used to be, so the best choice should be, left?

But after a quick observation, Baltra found that Lin Yi had always been the focus of the opponent's defense, and several people were all staring at him, as long as he begged to pass over, Lin Yi would definitely face an encirclement that formed very quickly.

If that were the case, Baltra didn't have time to hesitate at all, and after a little observation, he kicked the ball towards the right side of the field.

Dembele, who started the game, did not win enough attention from his opponents because of his wonderful performances in the first few games, because Lin Yi has been wonderful for two seasons after all. With a limited number of defenders, limiting Lin Yi will always be the first choice for Dortmund's opponents right now.

But it is precisely because of this mindset that Ousmane Dembele has been given a chance to get the ball comfortably.

After lifting his foot to cushion the ball forward, Dembele quickly followed the ball.

Kyle is most satisfied with him not only because of his youth and speed, but more importantly, because he has the same characteristics as Lin Yi.

He is very fast, and his ball control skills are not rough, on the contrary, they are very delicate. So his dribbling speed is also very prominent.

Dembele, who received the pass, didn't even have a single defender around him, and he didn't go down when he found it empty, but very decisively took the ball to the middle.

Ji Dongwon's appearances this season are very limited, but after all, he played in the main team last season when Dortmund was short of major generals, although his strength is not outstanding, but it is not very bad.

Seeing that the young teammate cut inside decisively, Ji Dongwon made a quick reverse run in the hope of helping him open up space.

Unfortunately, like Dembele, he has not received enough attention from the Bayer Leverkusen backline, with only one centre-back by his side.

Most of Leverkusen's defenders' attention is focused on Lin Yi, and Dembele, although he dribbles first-class, his shooting footwork is not very good, so instead of worrying about him, it is better to guard against when he will pass the ball to Lin Yi.

Dembele is really thinking about whether he should make a pass, because whether it is Lin Yi's position or Ji Dongyuan's position, as long as their pass can be in place, they can get a very good chance to hit the goal.

But can my pass have that effect, can my pass penetrate the opponent's backline?

Thinking of this, Dembele simply gave up this entanglement, since you don't guard against me, then I will play by myself, if I don't shoot, the opponent may always think that I will pass the ball to the captain and Ji Dongyuan, but if I hit the goal, maybe in the middle of another attack, I can help the captain attract a certain amount of defensive firepower?

Thinking of this, Dembele slowed himself down, and the moment he brought the ball to the left side of the box, he quickly picked up his left leg and fired the ball hard into his right-hand side.

It's extremely easy to score a shot from the opposite corner in this kind of swoop, as the goalkeeper doesn't necessarily make that judgment.

Dembele played a very high-quality shot, and as a player with a very balanced left and right feet, he also had a lot of confidence in his left foot at that comfortable angle just now.

If there is any indication of Dortmund's bad luck recently, it must be that the opponent's goalkeeper is in excellent form.

As the third goalkeeper of the German national team, young Leno did not ignore the danger of Dembele.

Although he also knows how powerful Lin Yi is, and he has also suffered a lot of losses from Lin Yi, the goalkeeper must pay attention to any player who holds and holds the ball around the penalty area.

Dembele's decisiveness was not without its rewards, forcing Leno to make a good save and helping his side win a corner.

Much of the season has been dominated by Mechtayan in Dortmund's corners, as Lin can also use his header ability to create a threat.

But today's corner kick was taken by Lin Yilai, because there is such a high point as Ji Dongyuan in the penalty area, Lin Yi can find him with his own pass very accurately.

Baltra and Ginter also pressed up, but Weigl and Shaheen stayed at their back to prevent a sudden counter-attack.

Lin Yi was stepping back, raising his right hand to signal his teammates, while also observing the opponent's position.

Kyle on the sidelines paced back and forth, in fact, he was also very nervous, he had been biting with Bayern Munich's points for so long, if he was pulled away at this time, it would be really difficult to chase.

Now Kyle also regrets the big rotation he made this round, if this game is lost, will the team's morale be affected in the next game against Juventus?

Kyle is worried, but he also has a little hope in his heart, because Lin Yi's corner kicks are very accurate, and he can always score goals in training. This time the corner kick was taken by him, maybe something would be different?

Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area was overcrowded, and even their high school striker Kiessling had returned to defend in the box.

They have been defending this game for so long, and now they definitely don't want to lose the night, this defense is really dead.

The referee had already signaled that Lin Yi was okay, but Lin Yi didn't find any good teammates who received the ball.

Just when the referee thought that Lin Yi wanted to delay time and was about to urge him, Lin Yi, who had been watching intently in the penalty area, suddenly lit up.

It's worth the 20 million dollars. Not to mention being able to defend the opponent, you can also have such a sense in the attack.

Lin Yi, who was still thinking of a jogging run, suddenly accelerated and rushed as if he was dribbling on the field.

The three-meter distance of the exit was almost finished by him, and Lin Yi, who stepped on his left foot, quickly crossed with his right foot.

While the inside of the foot was pumped on the football, the ankle shook and the flying football was rubbed into an arc.

Baltra, who completed a reverse run, watched Lin Yi's pass fly, although he had joined for a short time, he also understood Lin Yi's skills, and he also took a few steps back and jumped up.

"Good shot!"

Kyle, who was still worried about a draw on the sidelines, jumped up, and if it weren't for the leg squatting, he might have rushed to the field.

Baltra ran to Lin Yi to celebrate his maiden goal.
