Sure enough, as Marcel Leif said after Borussia Dortmund conceded, when a goal breaks the deadlock, the game becomes more exciting, not just intense.
Borussia Dortmund quickly pulled one back from the penalty spot.
The goal also further stimulated Schalke 04, who did not shrink their defence after conceding the goal, but quickly fought back in the hope of taking the lead again as soon as possible.
And Dortmund did not show weakness and launched an attack with Schalke 04.
In such a situation, the scene finally looks good.
It's just that when Zhou Yi gets the ball, the boos in the stands will be particularly loud.
Draxla no longer cared about the mood of his friend Yang Muge, put his finger in his mouth, and desperately shushed Zhou Yi who was holding the ball on the court.
was able to receive such treatment, obviously because of Zhou Yi's fall in the penalty area.
Schalke 04 fans don't care whether Bordon has come into contact with Zhou Yi or not, in their opinion, as long as Zhou Yi dares to fall into the penalty area, it is a fake fall without any doubt!
It was precisely because of Zhou Yi's fake fall that Dortmund equalized, so now Zhou Yi has become the target of public criticism.
Of course, Yang Muge has no other way to deal with this except helplessness, of course Zhou Yi is not a fake fall, but the fans are irrational in the stands, just like those Dortmund fans in the south stand of West**** Stadium.
It's hard to make sense with them.
As an opposing player, sooner or later you will enjoy such treatment.
The better you perform, the sooner you can enjoy it.
So the boos of Schalke 04 fans just show how good Zhou Yi is doing now.
ā»ā»ā»
Since Zhou Yi fell in the penalty area, he found that his situation had changed somewhat.
In midfield and at the back, Schalke 04's players made more physical contact with him and more violently, which was completely unrelenting.
It was probably because they fell in their penalty area and they were awarded a penalty. So I hated it.
However, after he entered the opponent's 30-meter area, the pressure was lighter, and the opponent's defenders were a little jealous, and when defending him, they just stuck to him, but rarely used their physical advantages to directly hit him.
Obviously, they were also afraid that Zhou Yi would fall again in a dangerous and sensitive place......
In their opinion, Zhou Yi is a very cunning person who can do anything to win, and the fake fall in the forbidden area is proof!
However, this kind of close-fitting but non-collision defense gives Zhou Yi more possibilities.
In any case, he still won more room for himself to play.
Although in central midfield, he was still dirty from the batted jersey.
But up front, as long as he can get the ball, he can try to organise some attacks.
Of course, in fact, Schalke 04 still pays attention to defending Zhou Yi, and the purpose of them sticking it is to prevent Zhou Yi from turning around casually.
As an attacking player, if you can't turn around and have your back to the goal, the threat is reduced by at least 50 per cent, if not more.
So not letting Zhou Yi turn around can also limit his play.
Generally speaking, restricting an attacking player and not allowing him to turn around is to make it more difficult for him to move forward. After all, with his back to the attack, he can't see what's behind him and can't make the right judgment. At the same time, with his back to the offensive direction, he has higher requirements for passing and shooting skills, and some of the ordinary actions that are facing the offensive direction are almost impossible to do at this time.
However, this is not too difficult for Zhou Yi.
The most difficult technical action with your back to the direction of attack is actually shooting, the farther the distance, the more difficult it is, in the small penalty area you can also shoot with your heel, to the big penalty area the power of the heel shot is not enough, if you can score a goal, it will inevitably be in the headlines, which shows the great difficulty. It's almost impossible to get out of the box and still want to shoot with your heel?
But Zhou Yi didn't want to shoot, he mainly passed the ball. With his back to the goal, he has many ways to pass the ball, and his heel is just one of them.
He is not afraid of high technical difficulty, because when he conducts various short pass training in the virtual space, he also contacts various passes with his back to the offensive direction. He has technical reserves in this regard.
Finally, with your back to the attack, you can't see what's behind you...... Is this still a problem for him?
If the other party doesn't let himself turn around, he won't turn around, and Zhou Yi doesn't have to screw with the other party in this regard, wasting his physical strength and energy.
He's just watching the positions of both sides, looking for a chance to take advantage of.
Those players in Schalke 04 are willing to stick to his back and top, just let them go up, Zhou Yi won't even look at them, and he has no interest in who is behind him.
In the 61st minute, Grosskloitz won the ball in the midfield, dribbled forward, and was intercepted by the Schalke 04 player after taking two steps. So he passed the football to Zhou Yi, who was diagonally in front.
After the pass, Grosskloitz did not stop, but continued to rush forward and run towards the penalty area.
This is obviously to cooperate with Zhou Yi to hit the wall.
Schalke 04's midfielder Rakitic held Zhou Yi in the back to prevent him from turning easily after receiving the ball, while the other Schalke 04 players kept a close eye on Grosskloitz, who even followed Grosskloitz to the ribs of the box.
Zhou Yi glanced at Grosskloitz and knew that it was not a good passing target, and it was difficult to get the big cross when it was passed, and it was difficult to threaten the goal if it was obtained.
At this time, he noticed in the bird's-eye view of his mind that there was a small gap on Barrios's side, but it was much better than the situation faced by Grosskloitz.
And now that Grosskloitz's decisive forward has attracted the defensive attention of the vast majority of Schalke 04 players, now is the right time!
So Zhou Yi took a step forward and met the rolling football.
Rakitic also ran up, thinking that Zhou Yi was going to turn around.
But Zhou Yi didn't turn around, he just used the toe of his right foot to pick the rolling football back!
The football flew past Rakitic!
Rakitic was not at all defenseless against Zhou Yi's kick, he turned his head to look at the follower football, wanting to see where Zhou Yi kicked the football.
Then he saw ...... Barrios!
ā»ā»ā»
"Zhou Yi! beautiful!" Marcel Leif shouted.
He saw it clearly in the commentary seat, Zhou Yi stepped forward to meet the ball, and then picked the football back with his right foot, and the football flew accurately to Barrios on the other side!
I didn't look at the situation behind me at all, so I decisively passed the football out, and it was a very difficult kick to pick up the pass!
"Good ball! Zhou Yi's wonderful pass!" Duan Xin also cheered in the live broadcast room, "This is Dortmund's chance!"
As he spoke, the football had already flown to Barrios's side, and he raised his foot to unload the football in the air, and then shot directly at the goal!
Very decisive!
Although Neuer made a save, Zhou Yi's pass was too sudden...... Even Neuer's reaction was a little slower.
The ball sticks to the turf, grazes the near post and rolls into the goal!
ā»ā»ā»
"The ball is in!!, the ball is in!" Marcel Leif cheered. "Barrios received a pass from Zhou Yi and gave Dortmund the lead!"
In the stands, the few Dortmund fans who came to cheer for the team also cheered.
The Schalke 04 fans quickly stifled the cheers of the Dortmund fans with boos.
On the pitch, the Schalke 04 players had not yet reacted, and the centre-back Bordon had not even lowered his raised arm - when he turned his head, he saw Barrios receiving the ball, and thought Barrios was offside, so he raised his arm.
But in fact, at the moment of Zhou Yi's pass, Schalke 04's other central defender Hovides dragged at the end, and Barrios received the ball behind Schalke 04's entire back line, but at the moment of Zhou Yi's pass, he was not offside.
"There is nothing wrong with this ball, it is definitely not offside!" Duan Xin said categorically. "The timing of Zhou Yi's passing is simply wonderful!"
"If he turns around and passes again, I'm afraid Barrios will be offside. Tao Wei also said beside him. "It's amazing to be able to pass a ball like that with your back to the attack!
Listening to the narrator praising his son again, Zhou Jian's conscience was happy: "That's because he has a great father!"
Li Cuiyun grinned beside her.

After the goal, Barrios did not celebrate alone, but turned around and ran towards Zhou Yi, and when he ran to Zhou Yi, he knelt down on one knee and asked Zhou Yi to give him empowerment.
Zhou Yi had already broken the jar and broke it, so he stretched out his hand very cooperatively and put it on top of Barrios's head. The celebration of the empowerment was completed.
Then the other teammates burst up laughing and hugged the two of them.
Borussia Dortmund's players celebrated their goals on Schalke 04's turf, stimulating the eyes and nerves of every Schalke 04 fan.
"What the hell!" Draxler whispered in annoyance as he folded his head in his seat.
Yang Muge gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, Julian. It's not over yet, we still have a chance. ā
Hearing Yang Muge's words, Draxler suddenly thought of something, so he came to the spirit: "You're right, Yang. No matter how good Zhou Yi is, he can't hold on to the whole game, and when he is replaced, we will regain control of the situation!"
He regained his confidence in this game.
Yang Muge also had to admit that Draxler had found the key point.
Zhou Yi's physical fitness made him sure to be replaced around the 70th minute of the game, how could Dortmund continue to organize the attack after the substitution?
When the time comes, Shaheen will be alone, how will he face such an aggressive defense as Schalke 04?
