Not long after the match between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, the match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen began.

This match is clearly more interesting than the match between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen.

Bayern Munich have already won and now it's Dortmund's turn to face the pressure.

Zhou Yi's lack of a start made everyone very unoptimistic about Dortmund's prospects, and they couldn't understand why Klopp didn't rotate Zhou Yi in any case before, so why did he rotate Zhou Yi in such an important game this time.

Once the game began, the TV camera quickly cut to Dortmund's bench.

Zhou Yi wore a coat and sat on the bench.

"This scene is really rare...... "Marcel Leif doesn't know whether to sigh or complain. However, Klopp was really bold enough to let Zhou Yi sit on the bench in this game, I don't know if it was really because of physical fitness as the media speculated. But fitness is better than injury, right?"

Zhou Yi sat on the bench and watched his teammates play on the court.

Regarding the question of why he sat on the bench, in fact, the media guessed correctly this time, and they were not so conspiracy and conspiracy, and there was only one reason - physical fitness.

After playing a number of intense high-intensity games in consecutive starts, Zhou Yi's physical fitness was close to exhaustion. Especially the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, the physical requirements for Zhou Yi are very high. In order to help the team win, he also did his best.

In such a situation, if you keep playing at this pace, it will be difficult for Zhou Yi's physical fitness to recover, and then at the most critical time, there may be problems.

After a full discussion with the team doctor team and the physical coach, Klopp believes that Zhou Yi should be allowed to take a proper rest.

So he communicated with Zhou Yi, saying that he was going to put Zhou Yifang on the bench in the Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen game, so that he could rest.

At the same time, it depends on the situation and then decides whether to let him play against Bayer Leverkusen.

If Dortmund perform well as a team, firmly suppress Bayer Leverkusen, and take the lead in the score, then Zhou Yi can rest the whole game on the bench.

But if the situation is not good, and Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen play inseparable, or even have the upper hand, then Klopp will have to consider using Zhou Yi.

Regarding this, he also talked to Zhou Yi in advance.

Zhou Yi has no objection to this.

Although he also hopes that he can play the full 90 minutes so that the team has a better chance of winning. But he also knows that the next game is still very difficult, and if he doesn't rest at this time, the rest of the game will be difficult to continue.

Cortana also warned him that it was best to take a proper rest so as not to increase the chances of injury.

The World Cup is coming soon, and Zhou Yike doesn't want to be injured before the World Cup and miss the World Cup.

This is a big dream in his life.

Champions League, League Champions, Domestic Cup Winners, Super Cup Winners, Club World Cup Winners...... He has won all the team honors he can win in a club, but what competitions have he not participated in?

I have also played in the Asian Cup of the national team, and I am one World Cup away.

So Zhou Yi listened to the coaching staff's arrangement for him.

But deep down, Zhou Yi is ready to appear at any time.

Because through those games simulated in the virtual space, Zhou Yi already knew very well what this game would look like.

Bayer Leverkusen are not easy to deal with, especially if they want to retain their top-four position in the league.

In the simulation game, Zhou Yi specially put himself on the bench, and then simulated the game, and he watched the game as a spectator.

Without him, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are very close, and it is difficult to take advantage of anything.

In the dozens of matches simulated, most of them were like this, with both sides winning and losing each other, and there were many draws.

The actual game is indeed like what Zhou Yi has simulated.

As soon as the game began, Bayer Leverkusen showed an aggressive attack.

From the start of Dortmund's kick-off, the Bayer Leverkusen players pressed all the way, and in the face of such a situation, the Dortmund players could only keep passing back.

Even if it will pass to the feet of goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Bayer Leverkusen's players have no intention of giving up, and continue to rush to Weidenfeller in the penalty area, even if Weidenfeller kicked the ball out with a big kick and made their pressing useless, they did not hesitate for half a second.

It's one thing to grab it or not, but the key is to show an oppressive momentum.

Even if this kind of action can only cause a little psychological pressure on the opposing players, it will also cause qualitative changes if it accumulates little by little.

In the fifth minute, Dortmund launched an attack.

Yan Min's powerful shot from the left penalty area was saved by Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno.

The ball did not fly off the line, but fell into the box and was cleared off by a Bayer Leverkusen defender.

Bayer Leverkusen took advantage of the situation and launched a counter-attack to reach Dortmund's goal.

Son Heung-min shot from distance and was dragged off the crossbar by Weidenfeller and Bayer Leverkusen won a corner.

The South Korean star went to punish the corner.

Before this showdown, the Korean media did not re-hype the Asian derby, and no one compared Sun Xingmin with Zhou Yi, because everyone could see that the two were not on the same level at all. Moreover...... Zhou Yi didn't start in this game, neither of them competed on the same stage, it's really not good to compare.

Son Heung-min kicked out the corner kick and rubbed the football when Hummers and the opposing central defender Toprak were fighting for the top at the front point, and the football flew directly to the middle of the penalty area!

Then Kiessling shook his head there and slammed the ball towards the goal!

Hummels ferried Kiessling......

The ball was rubbed out of a parabola by Kiessling, and the ball bypassed Weidenfeller's ten fingers, fell from the air, and crashed into the crossbar!

But instead of flying off the line, the ball fell and bounced back in front of goal.

Bayer Leverkusen's captain Lars Bender, who was clever enough to appear at the landing point, shook his head a little and headed the ball towards the goal!

Weidenfeller had just jumped up to save Kiessling's header, and it was too late to react again.

The ball flew into the Dortmund goal!

"Good Ball !!"

A burst of cheers erupted from the Bayern Munich bus.

On the TV screen of the bus, a live broadcast of the Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen match is being broadcast.

This is a game that the Bayern Munich team is also highly concerned about.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that before they returned to the hotel, Dortmund conceded the goal, which was a little too fast......

However, conceding a goal is always a good thing for Bayern Munich.

They have already won against Werder Bremen and if Borussia Dortmund lose, Bayern Munich will be back at the top of the league.

After the cheers, there was a lively discussion about the game.

“...... Where did Dortmund get the confidence that they could let Zhou Yi sit on the bench and win this game?"

Although they are mortal enemies, Bayern Munich's players still have a high evaluation of Zhou Yi. At the very least, Zhou Yi will be considered the most indispensable figure in Dortmund.

"Klopp's obvious trick is a stupid trick, what does he think?"

"It doesn't matter what he thinks, we're in ...... anyway"

Pep Guardiola sat at the front of the bus, and naturally heard the players' discussions.

With what he knew about Klopp, he now felt that it was not surprising that Klopp had made this decision. Because he's a gambler...... He must also be betting this time, betting that Dortmund, who are without Zhou Yi, can also beat Bayer Leverkusen away.

But from now on, he may have to gamble and lose......

There are no gamblers in the world who win and never lose, and Klopp can't escape this law.

"Lars Bender!!He opened the scoring for Bayer Leverkusen! Bayer Leverkusen took a one-goal lead just seven minutes into the game!

The entire Bayer Arena resounded with loud cheers.

Amid the cheers, Lars Bender and his Bayer Leverkusen team-mates hugged and celebrated the goal.

Zhou Yi sat on the bench and rested his head on the back of the chair. He wasn't surprised by this start. In so many simulated games, he has also seen Bayer Leverkusen score in the opening game......

So it's not surprising to concede a goal, it's about what Dortmund do after conceding a goal.

Jurgen Klopp got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and shouted to the Dortmund players in the stadium: "Don't panic!

Without Zhou Yi on the field, he had to do more.

After the restart, the Dortmund players did not show any panic, much to the relief of Jurgen Klopp and Zhou Yi.

Although he lost the goal, as long as he didn't mess up, he still had a chance to get it back.

In the next game, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, and everyone had a chance, but neither of them had a particularly good chance, and neither of them resulted in a goal.
