Chapter 314: Accident
At half-time, Schalke 04 fans were in a good mood as they equalised before the end of the first half, and now the two sides are back on the same page, with 45 minutes to go, and Schalke 04 have great hopes of victory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The happy Draxla invited Yang Muge and Hao Junmin to drink beer.
"If I want to say that my only grievance is this half-time whistle!" Draxler said as he said, but the expression on his face was quite relaxed, "If we give us a little more time, we can go into halftime with the lead score!"
Hao Junmin also said to Yang Muge: "It is indeed not a good thing to enter halftime just after equalizing. Disrupted our rhythm, but ...... Let's see how Magath adjusts at halftime. β
Yang Muge nodded.
On this issue, he and the two people are in agreement.
In front of the counter to buy beers, in the long queue waiting to go to the toilet, there were Schalke 04 fans who were excitedly looking forward to the second half of the game.
Dortmund fans are almost nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Dortmund fans were basically still sitting in their positions, surrounded by layers of police, and they couldn't change places casually.
It's a derby after all, and the fans on both sides have a grudge, so what if there is a clash?
For safety reasons, these Dortmund fans are confined to this area.
They were a little disappointed with the result in the first half.
After taking the lead, I was expecting to continue to expand the lead, but I didn't expect to let the opponent equalize in the end.
Cortana also sat in her seat and didn't go anywhere.
She barely made a sound in the first half, so she didn't have to moisten her throat with beer at halftime. The surrounding positions were empty, the fans of Schalke 04 were excitedly leaving, and Cortana could finally be quiet for a while.
She was almost on the runway for the entire first half, with the roar of jetliners taking off.
She doesn't like to come to the stadium to watch the game, and such a noisy environment is one of the reasons.
Half-played, Dortmund were levelled by their opponents after taking the lead, while her younger brother sat on the bench except for getting up and warming up with his team-mates once.
Cortana doesn't think Mark will be able to get a game.
It's a waste of your time.
Ruhr derby, even if you are not a fan and do not watch the game, you know the significance of this game somewhat.
With such an important and crucial game, how could an inexperienced rookie be given a chance?
Not to mention that now the score has been equalized, the opponent has the advantage in the field, and the morale is high.
How brain-dead does Klopp have to be to replace Barrios and give his younger brother a chance to play?
So no matter how you analyze it, how you guess it, Mark can't have a chance to play in this game.
Even if he does play, it will be in a game that is not too important in the future, such as the German Cup against those weak opponents......

The fifteen-minute half-time break was soon over and the players from both sides were back on the pitch.
For Schalke 04's players, they may still think that 15 minutes is too long and can't wait to get the second half started.
After the players from both sides stood still, the referee blew the whistle and the second half began.
In the second half, as in the final stages of the first half, Schalke 04 pounced and struck hard as soon as possible, trying to overtake the score as soon as possible.
And Dortmund did not panic in the face of Schalke 04's pounce, but contracted the defense first and played steadily.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
Five minutes passed in a stalemate.
Five minutes into the second half, neither side had a better chance on goal.
In the 53rd minute, Dortmund won the ball and the ball was passed to Zhou Yi's feet.
This time, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but directly passed the long ball out to avoid being surrounded by Schalke 04 players.
His long pass, although a little rushed, was in the general direction and found Barrios.
Barrios stretched out his foot to stop the ball and dribbled forward.
Schalke 04's defender Hevedes pressed up and pushed him outside.
Barrios naturally had to respond, making a quick stop and slamming the ball back in an attempt to change direction and shake off his defenders.
He did get rid of Hevedez with that slam off, and then he kicked the ground hard, caught up with the football, picked up his right leg and fired a powerful shot!
"Barrios!"
At Marcel Leiff's shouting, the ball went over the crossbar......
"Oh, that's a pity! It was probably the best chance Dortmund had so far in the second half!"
"Barrios...... Alas!" Duan Xin held his head in his hands in the studio in Beijing and sighed. "How great is Zhou Yi's long pass! He didn't grasp it! I can't help but think that in the last game of last season, Zhou Yi also made such a beautiful long pass, and found Barrios, who was almost single-handed, but he lost the ...... at that time."
Duan Xin complained. Otherwise, Zhou Yi successfully brushed another assist......
The Schalke 04 fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they were escaping death.
Barrios, who had finished the goal, did not express any regret, he bent over and squeezed the muscle in the back of his right thigh with his hand.
The expression is a little ...... Dignified.
"Huh, Barrios seems to have been injured in this shot?" Duan Xin keenly noticed this.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Barrios sat directly on the ground and lay down again.
His move immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Barrios suddenly lay down after checking his thigh muscles, apparently he had strained his muscles in the shot he had just taken, and in short, he seemed to need a team doctor to play......
After Marcel Leif finished speaking, the referee motioned for Dortmund's team doctor to come on.
Dr. Braun ran up to the field with a medical kit.
He went up to check it out and quickly made a ...... off the field Substitutions!
β»β»β»
When Mrs. Wagner saw Braun's action in the stands, her body suddenly tensed upβshe tensed.
This is to ...... Substitution?
Changing strikers?
Dortmund is now the only one on the bench who can play as a striker, her son Mark Wagner!
Don't......
She didn't dare to think about it, but she couldn't help but think about it.
β»β»β»
After seeing Dr. Braun's action on the sidelines, Klopp couldn't help but curse the German national curse: "Scheise!"
Then he turned to the dugout and said to assistant coach Bouach: "Prepare for a substitution." β
Bwach was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go and call Mark to warm up......"
Hearing him say this, Klopp frowned.
In this game, Dortmund's starting XI was 4231, with Zhou Yi and Sven Bender in the back, Shinji Kagawa in front, Gotze and Grosskloitz on both sides, and Barrios in front as a single arrow.
Now that the striker is gone, the striker has to be replaced.
In this game, Dortmund only brought one substitute striker, Mark Wagner.
So there was no choice, Dortmund had to replace Mark.
However, after watching Mark's comical and clumsy performance in the pre-game warm-up, Klopp couldn't expect much from the rookie.
"Wait, Gerlico. That rookie?"
"Yes. Boitch nodded and repeated, "That rookie." β
"Can we change people?"
'If you're going to change strikers, no, we've only got this one striker. β
"What about letting the Japanese play as strikers?"
"He's a midfielder and a winger, he can't play as a centre-forward, Jurgen ......"
After a confrontation, Klopp retreated in defeat: "Okay, you have the final say......"
Bwach turned to Mark on the bench and shouted, "Boy, you're ready to play, go warm up!"
Mark Wagner looked up, looked at the assistant coach with some confusion and some shock, and did not react for a moment.
"What are you doing in a daze?!Get up, go warm up!" Klopp, who was next to him, really couldn't see a player's confused expression, so he yelled angrily.
That's when Mark yelled off the bench and he put on his tank top and ran to the warm-up area, all the while feeling a little excited - the first time he stayed in the first team, the first time he was in the first team squad, the first time he was ...... Even a chance to play for the first team?
This happiness has come too quickly!
Behind him, Klopp's brow never furrowed. He is in a very bad mood now, the team was equalized by the opponent, the situation is unfavorable, there should have been a chance to overtake, but he didn't grasp it. And the striker who didn't take advantage of this opportunity was also injured...... He didn't know whether to feel that this was retribution for Barrios not being able to take his chance, or whether he wanted Barrios to stay on the pitch.
In short, he is annoyed right now.
Looking at this stupid boy with a confused face, who hasn't figured out the situation yet, Klopp really doesn't think that his play can make any difference. If he hadn't brought a substitute striker, he wouldn't have let this rookie play at such a time!
β»β»β»
When Barrios was limped off the pitch by the team doctor, Dr. Braun, Zhou Yi set his sights on the bench, and sure enough, he saw Mark running towards the warm-up area.
The opportunity really came, but whether he could seize the opportunity or not was up to Mark's own.
Zhou Yi glanced at him and took his gaze back.
No matter who plays, Zhou Yi has to play his own game.
Now, before Mark comes on, Borussia Dortmund have one less man on the pitch, and as the heart of the team, he can't afford to be distracted and think about other people's things.
After the restart, when the football fell on Dortmund's side, Zhou Yi began to use passes and catches frequently to control the situation and stabilize the pace of the game.
Schalke 04, on the other hand, desperately wanted to pick up the tempo, hoping to take advantage of Borussia Dortmund's lack of a man to score their goal.
However, in the face of Zhou Yi and his teammates' tacit passing, Schalke 04 was not able to grasp this opportunity of one less.
If you don't pass the ball forward much, if you are back and forth, there is no pressure on Zhou Yi. No matter how hard the opponent pressed, he didn't panic at all, and still passed back and forth calmly.
Seeing Dortmund with Zhou Yi as the core, passing the ball back and forth and inverting their feet, there were boos against them over the Schalke Stadium, mainly for Zhou Yi. Because it was Zhou Yi who dominated such a situation.
Draxler booed and shouted, "Negative game!"
What a typical Schalke 04 supporter does.
But the commentators don't think so.
Needless to say, Duan Xin, as a Chinese commentator, he must be on Zhou Yi's side.
Marcel Leif also thinks Zhou Yi's approach is clever: "Try not to let possession change hands when there is one less person, Zhou Yi is very right. It's not pretty, but it's a big need for Dortmund. In a few minutes, Dortmund made a substitution and they didn't have to play like that......"
