Chapter 173: Poor Naples
The whole process of Zhou Yi's goal just now was being broadcast on TV, and the commentators were analyzing why Galatasalets suddenly conceded the goal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
“...... Dortmund suddenly accelerated the pass in the frontcourt, and the one-two of Zhou Yi and Yan Min disrupted Galatasaray's defensive rhythm. It can be said that this sudden acceleration made the Galatasaalez players a little dizzy, and they lost the other, otherwise they really shouldn't have missed Zhou Yi in the penalty area......"
"Zhou Yi's pass to Mark is actually very good, Mark wants to shoot directly, it is possible to score. That's why Galatasaray's players are so nervous and desperate to pounce on Mark. This gave Zhou Yi the opportunity to insert the vacancy, and Mark was not greedy, and cleverly passed the football to Zhou Yi, who was in a better position than him, which led to this goal......"
But no matter what these commentators and professional commentators say, it's actually very simple, and one sentence can explain why Dortmund were able to score - "because they have Zhou Yi!"
Zhou Yi, who was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, was already covered in mud and water, and there were a lot of mud spots on his face, which looked a little embarrassing, and there was no glorious image of a goalscorer at all.
But the smile on his face makes people automatically ignore the less beautiful image.

Borussia Dortmund's goal not only frustrated the distant Napoli fans, but also demoralized Galatasaray's players.
Deep down they began to have doubts -- wasn't it God's arrangement, why are we still lagging behind?
This suspicion may not be obvious at first, and it is only in the minds of everyone.
But once this kind of thought is generated, it will be like a seed, planted in everyone's heart, and then wait for the right time to break through the ground.
As the Borussia Dortmund players celebrated their goals, there was a dead silence on Galatasaray's side.
It was the head coach Trim who reacted quickly, and he realized the blow to the team's morale and confidence from conceding the goal.
So he quickly stood on the sidelines and kept shouting at the players on the field, giving orders to cheer them up.
When Zhou Yi scored the goal, it was the sixty-first minute of the game, and there was still half an hour before the end of the game, and it was not the time to give up.
Galatasaray is still going on the offensive!
In other words, there is only one way to go on the offensive now.

Generally speaking, in a situation like Borussia Dortmund, they regain the lead on the road, and against an aggressive home team, the leading away team should shrink their defense and play a counter-attack.
However, when the game resumed, Dortmund did the opposite, once again showing the world their unorthodox style.
Dortmund, who regained the lead, did not shrink back to defend, but continued to attack!
They collided head-on with Galatasaray's attack, and the attack was even faster than the home team's Galatasaray!
This really caught Galatasaray off guard.
Originally, after Galatasaray conceded the goal, there was a situation of shaking confidence and unstable morale, relying on the authority of head coach Trim to force a boost, but the situation of weak foundation has not been improved.
Then in the game, it collided with Dortmund's surging offensive tide, and under the collision of the two sides, Galatasaray's side was immediately torn apart, turning into countless water droplets and being blown into the air by the wind.
Dortmund, on the other hand, took advantage of the momentum of the goal and regained the initiative in the game.
They began to launch wave after wave of attacks towards Galatasaray's goal in an attempt to score another goal.
If you are only one goal ahead, you will always give hope to the opponent and create a risk for yourself.
So Dortmund intends to completely kill the hopes of their opponents and their own risks!
In the 64th minute, Yan Min, who moved to the right side, sent a cross, and Reus grabbed the goal near the penalty spot in the penalty area, but unfortunately under the interference of the defenders, the ball went high.
However, he still gave a thumbs up to Yan Min for the first time, praising his cross for being accurate and beautiful.
Yan Min was valued by Klopp at the beginning, in addition to the ability he showed in that game, there is another important reason, that is, his diversity. On the left, Yan Min can cut inside and threaten the goal directly, and on the right, he can break through the cross, and his cross is very threatening.
Such a player who can play multiple positions on the right side is certainly something that every manager wants to have in his squad.
Although Reus's shot went high, Dortmund's attack did not stop there.
The snow is still falling, but it doesn't affect the Dortmund players at all.
No one has the leisure to care about the weather now, they just think about scoring goals and scoring goals.

As Borussia Dortmund laid siege to the Galatasaray goal, the temperature inside the Ali Samyan stadium also seemed to be gradually decreasing, and the cheers of the Galatasaray fans in the stands became smaller and less frequent. Only a handful of die-hard fans are still struggling to hold on.
But their support is also of little use.
In the 76th minute, Borussia Dortmund launched another dangerous attack, Yan Min again sent a precise cross from the right to find Mark Wagner in the box.
Mark didn't shoot directly in the middle, because he already had the close defense of the Galatasaray defenders around him, he jumped up and swung the ball to the left side of the box with his head, followed by Reuss with a bow and arrow, and directly volleyed with his foot!
The ball flew into Galatasaray's goal like a whistling cannonball!
"3:1! Dortmund is stable!" He Ping happily announced.
"Reuss! Beautiful world wave! Dortmund played a smooth combination in the front court! In the face of such an attack, Galatasaray can only parry, and has no power to fight back!" Marcel Leif is particularly excited, Dortmund is still playing at a level in the face of all kinds of adverse conditions, and as a German, he is of course very happy.

Reus's goal sent the temperature at the Ali Samyan Stadium almost freezing, sending chills even to Napoli fans as far away as Italy – something that is not common for Napoli in the warm south......
What does this score mean?
Anyone who watches the game and sees this time, as long as they have a little sense, will think that Galatasaray will almost impossible to equalize again.
And if this score is maintained until the end, it means that Napoli will be eliminated from the competition.
In the TV broadcast, the commentators from all sides also mentioned Naples at this time.
"If the game is over, Napoli will set a record - they will be the team with the most points when they are eliminated from the group after the Champions League restructuring...... It's not a glorious record, it's a bit pathetic......"
Napoli have 12 points from the Champions League group stage this season, which is enough points in any group to qualify, or even top of the group, except in Group F...... This season's Group F is the most perverted group of death in history...... "Marcel Leif lamented.
He's right, not an exaggeration at all.
Napoli's 12 points are very high in other groups, but in Group F, they are about to be eliminated, which is really ironic or pitiful.
Top of Group A is Manchester United with 14 points. Second place is Bayer Leverkusen, 10 points. The group qualified.
Group B group winners Real Madrid, 16 points. In second place is Juventus, with seven points, and they have qualified from the group.
Paris Saint-Germain, who won Group C, have 13 points, followed by 10 points from Olympiacos, both teams qualified.
The top two teams in Group D are tied on points, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City tied on 15 points. Bayern Munich overtook Manchester City by a win-loss tie and finished in first place.
Group E group top Chelsea with 12 points, group 2nd Schalke 04 points.
Group G, Atletico Madrid first, 16 points. Group 2nd Zenit St. Petersburg...... Six points!
The first place in Group H is Barcelona with 13 points, and the second place in the group belongs to AC Milan with nine points.
Looking at such a result, Napoli must feel more wronged than Dou E.
Their points can be placed in Group A, Group B, Group C, Group E, Group G, and Group H. Juventus, who are second in Group B, have seven points, just one point above Marseille in third place. Group G is even worse, with Zenit St. Petersburg on six points, while the two teams in third and fourth place, Porto and Austria Vienna, both have five points......
This scene made Naples watch, it was heartbreaking.
That is, in the two groups of D and F, Napoli can't get out of the line. If it's in Group D, the top two are very perverted, fifteen points. But in Group F, there are a total of four teams, three of which are 12 points, and everyone has the same points, just because of the relationship between winning and losing and goal difference, Napoli is going to be gloomy, and I can't be angry no matter how I think about it.
But it can't be helped, who let Napoli be put into a group of death?
In fact, when the results of the grouping came out, Group F was considered to be the group of death. However, the basis for this determination is that the four teams are close in strength, and there is a theoretical possibility of a group of death.
At that time, everyone was more of a prediction, after all, the specific performance could not be seen by the strength on paper alone.
Now this result has made the "Group of Death" in Group F a veritable name. The three teams have 12 points, and they can all be eliminated, what is not the group of death? There is simply nothing more dead than this, which fits the definition of "group of death" very well.
It's not easy to get to that point, so it's never been the case in the Champions League's nearly 60-year history.
It's very, very difficult to get to happen.
The three teams are tied on 12 points, with four wins and two defeats in all six games, and all of them have lost to the other two teams in addition to themselves and Galatasaray, which makes them all one win and one defeat in terms of wins, and they need to compare more things.
With so many conditions to be met, this extreme situation can occur, and this year's Champions League group stage is really a once-in-a-decade occurrence.

After Reuss' goal, Dortmund led Galatasaray by two goals and were still in control.
This left Galatasaray's players in despair.
Although they also tried to fight back in the next game, it did not pay off.
The minutes ticked by.
Jurgen Klopp began to make last-minute substitutions to stall for time.
Reus was replaced by Kuba and Mark was replaced by Piszczek.
He didn't use up the two substitutions in one go, but one every few minutes, and the intention to delay time was very obvious.
Galatasaray protested against these grinding substitutions, pointing to the Dortmund players who had left the pitch and shouting to the referee to signal them to deliberately delay the time.
Despite the displeasure of the Galatasaray players, they could not afford to make substitutions. They can only blame themselves for making the game like this.
However, Galatasaray's players may not agree with this, they have worked hard, they have equalised, even God is on their side, but they still lose the game in the end......
