Chapter 118: Fresh Wind

No matter what everyone thinks of Klopp's substitution adjustment, it can't change the fact that Yan Min is about to play. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When some Dortmund fans saw Yan Min standing on the sidelines, they couldn't help but hold their heads in their hands and lament: "Isn't it?

Yan Min's performance against Arsenal last time was condensed in many people's memories as "forcing a shot, missing a good chance to shoot, and being ashamed to say no regrets after the game".

As long as Yan Min is mentioned, everyone will think of "the culprit that caused us to lose to Arsenal away".

Coupled with some hype in the media, no one has a good impression of Yan Min.

At the beginning, when Yan Min joined the team, everyone still had expectations and hopes for him because he and Zhou Yi were compatriots. But after the match with Arsenal, Yan Min's image in the hearts of fans who are not Odortmund almost collapsed.

When he replaced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, there wasn't much cheering in the stands.

Yan Min replaces Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang...... Klopp's substitution was very ...... Uh, bold. Marcel Leif said. Replacing a famous star and a newcomer, Klopp and Yan Min have to be under a lot of pressure. If Yan Min doesn't play well, people will surely question after the game whether Klopp's substitution is appropriate.

"I don't know why Jurgen Klopp made such a substitution, but now it seems that the situation is gradually turning in our favour......" The England commentator was a little confused, and at the same time relieved.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's speed advantage is a strong guarantee for Dortmund to play counter-attacks. Although he squandered several chances in this game, he will always be a threat to the Arsenal goal as long as he is on the pitch.

And now, Jurgen Klopp has replaced that threat with a rookie who squandered a golden opportunity to equalise in the last meeting. This, of course, will make Arsenal supporters breathe a sigh of relief.

In the face of everyone's unfriendly and sarcastic eyes, Yan Min ran onto the court with his head held high.

Replacing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he will be deployed at left wing-back, or left winger, in a positional substitution and he has no instructions for his team-mates to make changes.

He just walked across the pitch and appeared in his place.

When the game restarted, everyone's attention to Yan Min quickly passed.

After all, it's the competition that attracts the most attention.

How can Dortmund get out of their current predicament?

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, as for Yan Min, it doesn't matter.

However, as soon as Yan Min came on the court, he actively participated in the game, and people couldn't ignore him.

In the 69th minute, Royce passed diagonally, Yan Min ran into the empty space with all his might, stretched out the ball from Royce, and padd the football to Mark in front.

Mark then turned and shot at goal, and the ball flew past Szczesny with his arms raised and into the back of the net.

The Dortmund fans burst into cheers. Soon, however, their cheers came to an abrupt halt as they all saw the referee's raised arm – which meant offside!

Who's offside!?

Slow motion shows that Mark is not offside, but when Royce passes, Yan Min is offside, although he is only half offside, but it is offside after all. Because he passed the ball to Mark in an offside position, even if Mark was not offside, the goal would have to be disallowed.

"It's that kid again!"

Some fans complained.

They felt that if Yan Min didn't touch the ball, Mark would have no problem catching the ball.

However, if Yan Min doesn't touch the ball, they don't care much about the question of whether Mark can still receive the ball......

In their opinion, Yan Min is very positive, but he is also very reckless, so they would rather Yan Min not be so positive, otherwise the ghost knows what trouble will be tossed...... When the time comes, like this time, Dortmund's goal will be ruined, and they will definitely not spare him!

Especially seeing that Yan Min did not apologize at all for his offside position this time, it made many people more and more dissatisfied with him.

But there are people who disagree with them.

※※※

"Hey, Yan Min!" Zhou Yi shouted Yan Min's name loudly on the court, and when Yan Min turned his head to look at him, he gave the other party a thumbs up. "Just run!

Zhou Yi uses words and body language to encourage his fellow countrymen.

He didn't know if Yan Min would be affected by this offside, but he didn't want Yan Min to have any scruples because of this.

Receiving Zhou Yi's encouragement, Yan Min grinned.

Because of Yan Min's offside, Mark's goal was invalidated. Arsenal kick a free-kick at the back where Yan Min was offside.

They took the opportunity to attack and hit the 30-metre zone of Dortmund until they were fouled by Dortmund.

Arsenal were awarded another free-kick on the flank.

Cazorla whipped the free-kick straight in front of goal, and Arsenal's tall German defender Mertesacker jumped to head home.

The football was slightly above the crossbar, which shocked many Dortmund fans into a cold sweat.

Arsenal, who equalised, were in a state of flux, having not had a single shot on goal in the previous 61 minutes, but now they have a series of shots on goal and can still threaten the Dortmund goal.

In the 74th minute, Arsenal once again hit the ball into the 30-meter area of Dortmund, and in the face of Arsenal's aggressive attack, Dortmund seemed to have little choice but to use fouls to contain the opponent.

This time, they gave Arsenal another free-kick.

The free-kick was replaced by Mesut Ozil.

Mesut Ozil kicked the ball towards Dortmund and Weidenfeller came in to get it straight out of the air.

But when he jumped up, he found that the situation was different from what he thought, there were still two people between him and the football, and he was not sure that he would take the football off directly......

So he switched to batting and wanted to hit the ball.

But the change was too hasty, and he didn't touch football.

The football made the Arsenal defender Koscielny at the back point to the top!

"Header!

At Marcel Leif's exclamation, the ball went wide of the left post......

"During this time, it was replaced by Dortmund...... there was a lot of noise in front of the goal," He Ping said. "If Borussia Dortmund lose this game at their home stadium, it's a bad situation......"

※※※

Arsenal's morale is high now, and when Dortmund got the ball at the back, they started pressing in front, hoping to use the front to launch a counterattack on the spot and catch Dortmund off guard.

Under the frantic pressing of the Arsenal players, Dortmund can only go back and forth at the back, but it is also dangerous, as if Arsenal will break the ball at any time......

At this time, Yan Min did not retreat to participate in the team's inverted feet, he pulled to the side and hung in front, hoping that his teammates would find him and pass the football to him.

Zhou Yi found him, and the place where he was was was indeed a vacancy.

So when his teammates turned the football upside down again, Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but stepped forward, grabbed in front of Flamini, and then passed the football directly with one kick.

The ball arced through the air, bypassing the players on both sides who were separated from him and Yan Min.

fell to the side, in front of Yan Min.

At this time, Yan Min had already seen Zhou Yi's pass, and when the football flew in front of him, he did not stop the ball, but stretched out his foot to move the football passed by Zhou Yi forward while running!

He took advantage of the situation to speed up and catch up.

Just run along the side roads!

"Yan Min! he's fast!" He Ping shouted, his voice uplifting.

When Dortmund was surrounded by Arsenal and compressed in the backfield, suddenly a ball hit the football out, and then a Dortmund player ran wildly with the ball, like a sprinting cavalry, this scene was really morale-boosting.

In the face of Yan Min's dribbling, Arsenal also reacted quickly.

Their centre-back Koscielny quickly leaned down to the flanks to compress Yan Min's space.

But Yan Min is the best player to move in tight spaces, because he is a real wide attacker!

Facing Koscielny, who came up to compress his space, Yan Min made a gesture to continue to break through along the sideline, and his left foot stretched out, but he only dangled a shot, and after stepping over the football, he suddenly flicked the football inward with the inside of his foot!

At the same time, he stops and changes inward!

It's a common change, but it's very effective for players who are tall and slow to react.

Yan Min threw Koscielny aside like this, and then cut inside to the Arsenal penalty area!

His move caused an uproar at West** Stadium.

The Dortmund fans, who had been cold when he played before, cheered for Yan Min unreservedly at this moment.

"Yan Min's change of direction breakthrough is very beautiful!!" He Ping shouted.

In the middle, Mark and Reus are desperately chasing Yan Min's footsteps with the ball.

Yan Min also saw two people, but he didn't pass the football out immediately, but continued to take it into the penalty area, which forced another central defender, Mertesacker, to also lean over, making the penalty area look more empty!

When Mertesacker pressed up, Yan Min also ran to the edge of the big penalty area, and he finally passed the football out!

The ball was sticking to the turf and moving towards the goal, very fast.

Mark couldn't catch up at the front of the ball and could only watch the ball roll past him.

Reuss in the back shoveled towards the ball, hoping to make a tackle.

But it was still a step slower and didn't touch the football......

"Yan Min's cross! Oops! a little bigger...... It's a pity, it's a pity!" He Ping regretted as if he had missed this opportunity.

There was a sigh of regret from the stands at Wester** Stadium, but soon the exclamation was replaced by applause - although the ball did not go in, the attack was indeed beautiful. In particular, Yan Min's indomitable rush on the wing and the series of performances of cutting inside to throw off Koscielny are really exciting.

In the case of Dortmund being forced by Arsenal to be a little embarrassed, Yan Min's performance is like a fresh wind that has somewhat blown away the anxiety in the hearts of Dortmund fans.
