When the game resumed, Hoffenheim went from shrinking their defence to rushing all over the field. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That's Rangnick's instructions, of course.

Rangnick was quick to adjust and didn't give the players time to be at a loss on the pitch.

In the face of Hoffenheim's pressing, Dortmund's countermeasure was to strengthen the connection between Zhou Yi and Shaheen, and open up the space and liberate Shaheen through the passing and running cooperation between the two of them.

Zhou Yi is equivalent to taking on part of Shahin's work.

Dortmund's overall response was to counter-attack after controlling the ball, taking advantage of Hoffenheim's pressing and playing their counter-attack.

It also really threatened Hoffenheim's goal a couple of times. If it weren't for Hieldebrand's normal performance, Dortmund might have scored again.

That didn't hold Hoffenheim back, though, as they pressed more aggressively up front.

After all, they are only one goal behind, and this one goal gap can still be made up.

There are still ten minutes left in the game, and there is still a chance.

In response to this situation, Shaheen and Zhou Yi slowed down the pace and tempo with Dortmund's midfield, and began to reverse their feet frequently, on the one hand, hoping to pull Hoffenheim's defenders out more, and on the other hand, hoping to consume some game time by inverting their feet.

How could Hoffenheim not see Dortmund's intentions?

Whenever a Borussia Dortmund player was on the back foot, the stands were booed by the Hoffenheim fans.

At the same time, Hoffenheim's players also grabbed harder, and there was an emotion in this kind of pressing.

The reluctance to lag behind and the anger at Dortmund so downhill.

In the 81st minute, Hoffenheim midfielder Maksuel, who had just come on as a substitute for five minutes, maliciously fouled Shaheen who had the ball, and Shahin, who was tackled, was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

Klopp, who was on the sidelines, jumped up and cursed the German national curse.

As the core of the team, Shahin will inevitably become the focus of each team's defense, but he didn't expect this to come so quickly!

Shaheen is injured!

A foul on Maximuel caused a wave of chaos on the court. In the confusion, Grosskloitz pushed a foul Maksuel, but he was also pushed back by Gustavo.

In the end, the referee of this game, Komptel, showed a red card to the foul Maksuel and expelled him directly from the field!

But Grosskloitz also received a yellow card.

Although Hoffenheim are one man less, Dortmund may not want to be one more man than their opponents at all, as Shaheen can no longer hold on to the game.

When the two players clashed, Borussia Dortmund's team doctor, Dr. Marcus Braun, ran onto the pitch to check on Shahin.

He then made a substitution gesture to the sidelines.

Shaheen couldn't keep playing and had to be substituted.

The stretcher also quickly ran onto the field and lifted Shaheen onto the stretcher.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Klopp, who had finished scolding, was making adjustments.

Another midfielder, Faulner, will come on to replace the injured Shaheen and he will bring the manager's latest instructions.

※ ※ ※

Soon, Forner was substituted.

"Borussia Dortmund lost a big player, and although they got one less opponent, I don't think Klopp would want to make such an exchange. Marcel Leif said. "Hopefully Shaheen won't get hurt too badly, otherwise the next game will be a problem for Dortmund......"

As he spoke, Forner ran onto the court, and he ran straight to Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi. The coach asked you to replace Shahin. ”

"Let me play the back back?" Zhou Yi was surprised, he didn't know how to hit the back back.

"No, let you be the heart of the team's midfield. ”

Zhou Yi has always believed that the heavens will descend on him, but he didn't expect this great task to come down so suddenly...... This is the first time he has played in the league, and he is about to be the core of the midfield!

This league is really informative when it debuts......

However, he did not refuse or evade, but nodded: "Okay." ”

At the same time, assistant coach Bouach yelled from the field to the court: "Let Zhou Yi handle the ball!!"

The other players also understood that Zhou Yi was going to end Shahin's gun.

However, they were not too surprised by this, because Zhou Yi had been training with them for five months, and they had already had a clear understanding of Zhou Yi's ability in these five months of training. In terms of ability, Zhou Yi has this qualification.

Grosskloitz gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up and encouraged him, and Zhou Yi gave Grosskloitz a thumbs up.

Because the place where Maksur fouled Shaheen was at the back of Borussia Dortmund, the first thing Dortmund did after the restart was that Dortmund would take a free-kick from the back.

Centre-back Hummels stood behind the ball and wanted to kick it straight forward, which was also a safer approach. But at this time, he saw Zhou Yi running back directly from the midfield, running ten meters in front of him, and took the initiative to make a gesture to ask for the ball.

The manager asked him to take over Shahin's work, and he was really not polite at all, and he instantly had the style of the core of the team.

Hummels changed his mind about a big kick to the front and instead passed the football to Zhou Yi.

At the same time that the football was passed to Zhou Yi, Hoffenheim's striker Demba Ba also rushed to Zhou Yi from behind.

As long as Zhou Yi's movements are slow, he may be stuck by Demba Ba.

But Zhou Yi didn't slow down and wait for Demba Ba, and at the same time as the football came, he kicked the football out directly. This time he passed to another centre-back, Subotic.

Then he ran away from the spot and ran into the void left behind by Demba Ba's rush up.

And Demba Ba pounced.

Zhou Yi, who ran to the vacancy, made a gesture to Subotic again to ask for the ball, so Subotic handed the football to Zhou Yi again.

It seems that Dortmund's stars are willing to listen to Zhou Yi, here I have to mention the good impression that Zhou Yi left on everyone when he first entered the first team, he slapped the sycophants of everyone in the team, everyone likes this smart and clever young man, he wants the ball, then give it to him, it's not a big deal. No one is going to deliberately go against him.

Zhou Yi was still a one-kick pass, and he passed the football to right wing-back Owomoyela. After passing the ball, he did not let Owomoyela pass the ball to him, but let Owomoyela carry the ball forward, and he himself ran forward, but not very fast, and leaned towards the middle.

Soon Ovamoela encountered Hoffenheim's interception on the way forward, and he saw Zhou Yi at the first time, so he passed the football to Zhou Yi, who was on the side to meet him.

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he passed the ball back to central defender Subotic.

After a round and round like this, the football seems to be back to square one......

And Zhou Yi, who was originally playing in the front midfield, has been moving in front of the back line, looking more like a back midfielder.

How could the Hoffenheim fans in the stands not see what this series of passes led by Zhou Yi meant?

They booed again.

Marcel Leif felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Yi and his team-mates: "Dortmund went back and forth at the back, controlled the football at their feet, and as the minutes ticked by, they were getting closer and closer to victory!"

Hoffenheim's players didn't think about increasing their movements to defend Zhou Yi, such as adding some physical contact - just look at Zhou Yi's small body size, you know that he is not good at physical confrontation.

But they basically don't get the chance.

Because Zhou Yi's passing is very, very ...... Fast!

He didn't even stop the ball and didn't adjust, the football came over, and he immediately passed the football again!

At such a fast pace, Hoffenheim's players had no chance to get up to it.

※ ※ ※

Rangnick stared at Zhou Yi, who was running back and forth on the court to receive the pass, and was a little distracted.

It's not that he hasn't seen a player who passes the ball quickly, and it's not that he hasn't seen this kind of backcourt inverted foot, but he hasn't seen much of Zhou Yi's inverted foot......

Why?

Because Zhou Yi hardly stops the ball and doesn't adjust, he can pass the football directly. Although the targets of his passes are all defenders, most of them are back passes, and there are occasional horizontal passes, and there is no ball that passes forward. But it still surprised Rangnick.

At first, he thought that how could a player pass the ball without adjusting every time?

Later, Rangnick found out that Zhou Yi was not unadjustable, but the way he adjusted was different from ordinary players. Most people use their feet to adjust the ball after receiving the ball, and then pass the football out, which is the so-called "three-legged touch": one foot stops the ball, one foot adjusts, and one foot passes.

But in fact, the higher requirement is to "touch the ball with two feet": one to stop the ball and one to pass the ball.

In Rangnick's view, Zhou Yi is a model of two-foot touching.

So how did he do it?

On the one hand, when Zhou Yi chooses a passing target, he tries to be the easiest object to pass in front of him, so that he doesn't have to adjust the football, and he can pass directly.

Another reason is that Zhou Yi will adjust the posture of his body when he is about to receive the ball, and he uses the posture of his body to replace the step of adjusting the ball with his feet, so that when the football comes, he can directly change the football out......

Rangnick touched his chin, he felt that he had really despised this nobody. Now it seems that this kid is really a bit capable of passing!

But it's still dangerous to just keep kicking the ball at the back, because no one can guarantee that every pass and catch will be accurate and without the slightest accident. And as long as there is, there is a possibility of being caught......

So Rangnick didn't stop the players from pressing.

※ ※ ※

This period of time is really a feast for the eyes of Zhou Jianliang, Li Cuiyun and other Chinese fans in front of the TV, because the TV broadcast camera is basically centered on Zhou Yi, and it will always return to Zhou Yi.

It's just that they still have some regrets - it's a little boring to always fall like this, it's a little hypnotic......

They still want to see Zhou Yi's performance in attack.

And they will still feel worried in their hearts, worried that Zhou Yi will pass on like this, in case they play with fire and burn themselves, and the opponent will directly break the ball to fight back, causing the team to lose the goal. Isn't that the credit for the previous goals all wiped out?

Commentator Duan Xin also has this concern: "Dortmund keeps falling in the middle and back, it can be seen that they want to delay time, after all, there are not even ten minutes before the end of the game." But it's still dangerous. Knowing that Borussia Dortmund are now one goal ahead will always give Hoffenheim hope. As the game time approached, Hoffenheim was only going to get even crazier. Look at what they're doing now...... Danger!"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Xin exclaimed.

Because he saw that when the football was worn to Zhou Yi again, Zhou Yi already had a person by his side in advance - Ibisevic, and another Hoffenheim player Obasi also rushed up. Hoffenheim is obviously going to fight too, and this time they are two people!

It looks like the ball passed to Zhou Yi will be broken!

This scene was heart-wrenching, and Duan Xin couldn't help but cry out.

But just when the Hoffenheim players were about to stab Zhou Yi's ball first, Zhou Yi passed the football back again!

Subsequently, Zhou Yi, who was returning the pass, leaned on Ibisevic, who was pasted up, turned around directly, and suddenly went forward diagonally.

And the central defender Subotic, who received Zhou Yi's return pass, also saw the opportunity and passed the football diagonally to Zhou Yi!

He used a little bit of the ball and passed the football to Zhou Yi's body, Zhou Yi stretched out his foot and hooked it, and the football went to the front, without delaying the speed at all, he took the ball forward to kill!

In the blink of an eye, Dortmund suddenly turned from a state of falling in the backfield to an attacking forward!

Such a quick change caught Hoffenheim off guard!

ps, at the beginning of this book, I said that I was going to write a book that felt different from the previous books, so there will be a lot of details in this book, and I will not only focus on the main character, I will write about the people around him, the stories of the people related to him. Otherwise, why would I make up five young players instead of having one protagonist like before?

So this book is not the kind of book that can climax and keep you cool until you get bored.

It's a book that's a little slower, but I'm a firm believer that the better quality is more worth reading repeatedly.

The subscription results from the beginning of the novel to the present also prove that I have a reason to do this, and the subscription results are much better than I imagined, and even the results in the same period are better than my best book "The Winner is King". Only the monthly pass didn't break out and I didn't fight, so they were all half-dead.

However, I don't expect a monthly pass for this book, I just want to write it slowly according to the rhythm and direction I set at the beginning, write it well, write it completely, and it is enough.

Also, because the book is a collaboration with a reality show, it won't be too long. Neither the number of words nor the time span in the book can be too long. If I had deleted all the details of what some people said about "water", the book might have been written in 500,000 words, but then it would not be a novel, it would be called an outline, a synopsis.

Some people are willing to read the synopsis, but I'm sure many more are willing to read the novel.

So I stuck to my approach and just wrote like that. I also believe that eating too many large meals and occasionally eating porridge and side dishes is also unique.

Of course, if you don't want to read novels with this rhythm, you want to read pure and cool, I respect your choice, you can read the books I wrote before, "The Winner is King" and "The Hero of the Forbidden Zone" are all completed books with good results, and "The Light of Champions" also meets your definition of "no water", all of which are dry goods, ensuring that there are no details of off-the-field life - Chapter 46 of "The Light of Champions" A rookie has become the savior of São Paulo, and "The Heart of the Champion" It's 800,000 words, and the protagonist has just played in the first official league.

Finally, "The Heart of a Champion" is a competitive novel of different styles, don't use the previous standards to say how many words should be how many words should be how many chapters should be used. I wrote the novel, and I have my own sense of proportion. I am happy to see it come true, but in the end, I am the one who makes the decision, I accept it if it makes sense, and if I don't accept it, I must have my own considerations. If you have to ask me to write according to your opinion, if you don't write like that, it's water, it's garbage, it's something, then I'm sorry, I'm like Tony Donn, I've always eaten soft rather than hard.

Finally, my next book may have a different style, maybe I haven't played a professional league until the end of the book, I wonder if some people can stand it?
