Chapter 169: A Familiar Rhythm
Dortmund had been passing back and forth before, making people drowsy, and they would have thought that time had passed in this kind of inversion, but in fact, since the beginning of the game, Dortmund encountered resistance in the first attack, and the game was only ten minutes old.

Zhou Yi's sudden long-range shot woke everyone up, and it made them realize that it wasn't long before the game started!
The situation that Dortmund was unable to open the situation in the first ten minutes made them mistakenly think that Dortmund was in a hard battle, so now Zhou Yi's kick pulled everyone back to reality - Dortmund took the lead in the opening ten minutes, and the scene was not as difficult as some people thought!
When the ball flew into the goal, the Mainz players were stunned, looking back at the ball in the goal, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Mainz Under-19 manager Thomas Tuchel also looked at the pitch in shock.
Hasn't Dortmund's attack been contained?
Why did the other party score first?!
Next door, Yebara jumped to his feet, raised his arms and shouted, looking very excited.
After the start of the game, Yebala was worried about his team after discovering that Mainz had adopted a highly targeted contraction defence.
He didn't know how to adjust to make the team break the deadlock, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to solve this problem for him first......
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't rush onto the court, he would have wanted to go up and hug Zhou Yi and kiss him fiercely.

Zhou Yi saw the football fly into the goal, so he ran straight to the back of the Mainz goal, waved to the few Dortmund fans in the stands, and celebrated the goal with them.
And his teammates swarmed from behind, surrounding Zhou Yi.
"Awesome, Zhou Yi!"
"Beautiful! Well done, Zhou Yi!"
They patted Zhou Yi's shoulders, back, and even the top of his head, cheering.
Schurrle looked at the Borussia Dortmund players celebrating their goal and didn't come back to his senses ā why are we falling behind?
His gaze lingered on Gotze's body for a short time, and finally fell on Zhou Yi's body.
The tall Chinese who was not strong.
Schurrle only then remembered that when he shook hands before the game, the Chinese repeatedly emphasized his name to himself.
What's it called?
Zhou Yi?
Yes, it's Zhou Yi.
Schurrle thought that this final would be a contest between himself and Gotze, but he didn't expect to kill a Zhou Yi and steal everyone's limelight.
ā» ā» ā»
Tuchel frowned in surprise.
There are many accidental factors in Zhou Yi's goals, but a goal is a goal, and the change in the score cannot be ignored, nor will it be reflected on the scoreboard because of accidental factors.
Tuchel now has to think about what to do after his side conceded a goal.
One of the drawbacks of shrinking the defence is that you can't concede the ball first.
After conceding the ball first, you can't hold it. If they continue to hold back, Dortmund could have fallen to the back and kept the scoreline until the end, as they have done before, and Dortmund will have a narrow one-goal win over Mainz.
But if you don't shrink the defense and press out and attack with Dortmund...... Isn't it just in the hands of Dortmund?
Tuchel is now in a dilemma.
The situation in football is really changing.
A minute earlier, Tuchel had been sitting in the dugout, watching Dortmund find himself in a predicament. Now it's his turn, and he doesn't know what to do.
To press out or not to press out?
It's not just Tuchel who is caught in a dilemma, it's Mainz's players as well.
Before the game, the manager told them to hold on and be patient.
But now that we've conceded the ball, what should we do?
Offense or continue to defend?
ā» ā» ā»
When the game resumed, the anxious man on the sidelines was replaced by Thomas Tuchel, while Yebala retreated to the dugout and sat down to watch the game.
Zhou Yi's goal was completely unexpected, but he was happy to see such an "accident".
Now that the ball and the problem have been kicked to Mainz, it's up to them to deal with it.
If Mainz continues to hold on, Dortmund is not in a hurry, just wrestling with them until the end of the game, Yebala is completely acceptable with the 1:0 result.
If Mainz opts to attack and play the attacking football they are good at, the game will return to what Yebarra had expected before the game, with Dortmund being the happiest to play against each other.
And what to do, Yebala didn't have to shout from the sidelines to remind his players, he knew that Zhou Yi, as the team commander, would make the right choice.
In this regard, he really didn't let himself down.
ā» ā» ā»
Mainz were in disarray, and with no new directives from manager Thomas Tuchel, they could only continue to stick to counter-attacking tactics.
And when Dortmund controlled the ball, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, he deliberately slowed down the tempo, passed slowly backwards in the backfield, and was not in a hurry to attack forward.
Zhou Yi's approach simply made the backward Mainz players anxious and hated him so much that they gritted their teeth.
But there was nothing they could do, they didn't dare to press it.
Schurrle, who is at the front, is very hard, chasing with football, and wants to break the ball, but this kind of activity similar to grabbing a circle is an indispensable part of any team's training, and the players of Dortmund are very familiar with it, so they are not afraid of Schurrle's pressing alone, they pass the ball back and forth, so that Schurrle consumes his physical strength in vain in the turnaround run.
Seeing this, Tuchel finally made a decision on the sidelines - in youth football, the most important thing may not be the tactics, but the tone.
Dortmund must not be allowed to continue to play Schurrle like this, that would definitely be a heavy blow to Mainz's morale.
Schurrle's operations must be supported.
Tuchel waved his arms on the sidelines and yelled for the team to press up.
It is still back to the most played and mature tactics of Mainz this season.
It's a bit risky, but young players sometimes need that kind of head-on mentality. Because the most important factor in the outcome of a youth team game is often not the correct tactical arrangement, but the morale of the players.
Morale is high, even if the strength is not strong enough, you can win. On the contrary, if morale is low, even if you are strong, you will lose.
Tuchel made his choice.

Sure enough, when Dortmund was still on the back of the field, Mainz suddenly pressed hard, and it was not only Schurrle who went up to grab the ball, but also other Mainz players.
In fact, this wave came very quickly and suddenly, if Dortmund is not careful, it may be directly cut off by the opponent in the backfield, and then play a counterattack.
But the person who controls the rhythm of Dortmund is Zhou Yi, and his vision is ninety-nine.
The movement of the whole team in Mainz, he saw it immediately. When Mainz pressed hard, he changed his previous strategy and suddenly turned to attack forward, connecting with Gotze and Mark, who had already retreated to meet him.
Spread and run!
The three played tactics that they had been practicing all this time and had grown accustomed to.
Mainz was caught off guard and could only rely on a single foul to stop Dortmund's attack.
Zhou Yi was pushed to the ground by the opponent, and the referee's whistle sounded, but no yellow card was given to the Mainz player.
Zhou Yi sat on the ground and spread his hands, this was a helpless expression, but with a smile on his face, he was not angry that this attack was not successful, his mood was very relaxed.
The foul on the other side shows that they have nothing to do but foul, so there is nothing to worry about.
After Mainz started attacking, Zhou Yi felt that the game had returned to the normal track predicted before the game, and the experience he had accumulated from those games in the virtual world was also useful.
He's cracked Mainz's dense defense, what else can't be relaxed?
The only thing to worry about now is that Mainz will quickly equalise and get the game back to its previous state.
So it's still about trying to score. A two-goal lead is always more reassuring than a one-goal lead.

As mentioned before, the Borussia Dortmund Under-19s are not afraid to play against any team, let alone if they are one goal ahead.
The leading Dortmund players appeared to be more relaxed than the Mainz players and naturally played better on the pitch.
Mainz players are a bit impatient, less patient with the ball in attack, and tend to choose the easiest way to handle the ball when they encounter some resistance.
On the other hand, on Dortmund's side, the trident is the core, which can play the attack, because there is no routine for the three people to cooperate and run, and it is impossible to guess in advance how they will play next, whether it is forced to penetrate the wall in the middle, or is it suddenly assigned to the side?
On the pitch, Borussia Dortmund had the upper hand. The dilemma after the opening looked like a flash in the pan.
In the 37th minute, Borussia Dortmund's trident came into play, reaching the edge of the Mainz penalty area through a series of quick passes.
After passing the ball, Zhou Yi continued to cut forward and ran into the penalty area.
And Gotze, who was originally receiving the ball, was deeply surrounded by Mainz at this time, and he sent the football out and to Zhou Yi's feet.
Zhou Yi got up and shot again, and the football stuck to the turf and drilled into the goal, but the goalkeeper of Mainz couldn't save it, so he could only fall to the ground and watch the football roll into the goal......
Zhou Yi, who has always made wedding dresses for others, scored twice in the game!
This time, there is finally no need to add an "assist" in front of the "brace......
