Zhou Yi had just gotten the ball, which was Dortmund's chance to counterattack, but before he could turn around, he was pushed to the ground from behind by Atletico Madrid's player Koke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dortmund's counter-attack was not successful.

Referee Thomson's whistle blew and awarded Koke a foul, but he was not shown a yellow card, only a verbal warning, which caused displeasure among the Dortmund players.

They gathered around to find Thomson's theory.

"This isn't the first time they've done this!"

Borussia Dortmund's players yelled at the referee.

Zhou Yi got up from the ground, but he didn't get involved. He patted the grass clippings on his body.

He wasn't angry about Cork's foul. He was not unhappy that the referee had only verbally warned Koke.

Their team-mates are right, this is not the first time that an Atletico Madrid player has fouled himself like this, and Koke is not alone.

In these ten minutes of competition, Zhou Yi has been targeted four times.

Sometimes it's an Atletico Madrid player, and sometimes it's two or three people around Zhou Yi.

As the heart of the team, it's normal to be targeted by the opposition during the game. But today's Atletico Madrid players are a little bigger than usual when defending Zhou Yi.

Of course, Zhou Yi knows why.

It should have been his and Sun Pan's bet that angered the Atletico Madrid players.

This is really not his intention, he just made a bet with Sun Pan, whether he made a bet with the whole Atletico Madrid team.

But that's good, it's clear that Atletico Madrid are more serious about themselves than they are on his team-mates, and that's Dortmund's chance.

Zhou Yi uses himself as a magnet to attract as much attention as possible to Atletico Madrid's players and provide space for his teammates.

Although you put yourself in danger, the opportunity lies in these dangers.

When the game resumed, Dortmund had lost the opportunity to counterattack, but the pressure on Zhou Yi's side did not lessen.

No matter where he gets the ball, players wearing Atletico Madrid jerseys quickly appear around him.

For Zhou Yi's marking, Simone's team really worked hard to not give Zhou Yi a chance.

So in fact, even if Zhou Yi didn't bet with Sun Pan, or if his direct bet with Sun Pan was not known by the Atletico Madrid players, the pressure on Zhou Yi would not be less at all.

When Simeone assigned his players how to mark Zhou Yi's task before the game, he repeatedly emphasized that Zhou Yi must not be allowed to turn around, and Zhou Yi, who turned around and was facing the goal, was the biggest threat.

That's why Cork didn't wait for Zhou Yi to turn around just now and pushed Zhou Yi to the ground.

Dortmund's counterattack did not succeed, and naturally it was not able to threaten the goal guarded by Sun Pan.

After Atletico Madrid regained possession, they continued to launch a fierce attack on the Dortmund goal, still hoping to score another goal in the shortest possible time.

Dortmund can only recycle the defence once again.

It can be seen from this that Atletico Madrid's key defense against Zhou Yi has a big effect.

But the ball can't always be at the feet of an Atletico Madrid player, it will always change hands.

Two minutes later, Dortmund were again in possession.

Instead of running straight back and retreating to their own half, the Atletico Madrid player pressed high up.

This defensive strategy, on the one hand, can increase the difficulty of Dortmund's possession of the ball in the midfield, so that Dortmund can not calmly organize counterattacks, on the other hand, if they can cut off the football directly in the front, then they can directly launch a counterattack on the spot, and catch Dortmund off guard.

The high-level pressing requires the players to keep running and grabbing, not one person to grab, but the whole team to rush up together, so as to form a wave after wave of pressing like a tide, causing the opponent to make mistakes in a hurry.

It's very physical, but Simeone's Atletico Madrid is so good that they don't have to worry about it.

Atletico Madrid's high pressing did cause a lot of problems for Dortmund's players, who didn't know how to play the ball when they switched from defending to attacking and counter-attacking. If you hesitate a little, the perfect opportunity to fight back may be gone.

At this time, it is necessary to hand over the football to Zhou Yi and let Zhou Yi decide what to do.

And Atletico Madrid has made a defensive arrangement to keep an eye on Zhou Yi against Dortmund's countermeasures.

Atletico Madrid's players are almost in front of Zhou Yi with football.

This made it difficult for Zhou Yi to handle the ball.

Marcel Leif was unhappy that referee Thomson did not show Koke a yellow card: "Thomson is a kind of connivance, he has sent a signal to the Atletico Madrid players - you can play whatever you want, as long as you don't kick people, it doesn't matter...... Thomson's appeasement is the root cause of Atletico Madrid's rampant away game!"

Without home advantage at home, Marcel Leif struggled for Borussia Dortmund.

But no one can change the referee's style of enforcement, and just complaining about the referee's lenient penalty scale will not help win the game.

Despite being deeply encircled, Zhou Yi still made a gesture to Subotic who had the ball.

But when Subotic passed the football to him, there was no chance to turn around, so he could only pass the ball back to Subotic and continue to run forward.

While running, he continued to ask for the ball from Subotic.

Subotic wanted to kick the ball directly, but he couldn't catch the ball when he kicked it, so it was meaningless.

He had no choice but to pass the football to Zhou Yi again.

This time on Zhou Yi's side, there are as many as four Atletico Madrid players, they are far from Zhou Yi, but in general, it is a situation of encirclement of Zhou Yi, as long as Zhou Yi stops the football, someone will stick it.

But this time Zhou Yi did not choose to stop the ball, he ran to the football, and when the football rolled over, he directly knocked the ball with his heel to Sven Bender, who was behind his side. He then ran forward, but as he ran, the Atletico Madrid defenders also retreated en masse, forming a wall of four defenders in front of him, which not only prevented him from rushing forward easily, but also prevented Sven Bender from passing the ball forward.

Sven Bender couldn't force the ball to the front, could he?

In desperation, he opted to pass the ball back to right-back Piszczek.

Continuously returning the pass, seeing that Dortmund's counterattack could not be played, He Ping felt sorry for Dortmund: "Atletico Madrid's high pressing is very good, so that Dortmund can't find a good point to play the ball...... If they continue to play like this, it will be difficult for Dortmund to turn the tide of being pressed by Atletico Madrid......"

Zhou Yi had rushed forward, but when he looked back, Sven Bender had passed the football back again, and he also turned around and ran back.

Again, the asking gesture was made.

Piszczek knew that Zhou Yi was being targeted by the opposing player, but apart from Zhou Yi, could anyone else have any way?

Zhou Yi turned his back to the direction of the attack and received the football, and Cork immediately rushed up again, intending to stick to Zhou Yi and prevent him from turning around.

But before he could post it, Zhou Yi once again passed the football with his heel.

The ball rolled past the feet of Coke, who pounced, and landed at the feet of Lewandowski, who retreated to pick up.

"Good ball!" He Ping applauded Zhou Yi's heel pass.

After passing the ball, Zhou Yi turned around and rushed forward.

Lewandowski, who had his back to the attacking direction, used his body to withstand the pressure from the Atletico Madrid player behind him, and after waiting for Zhou Yi to rush up, he sent the football sideways.

Then he turned and ran forward.

This is the first time that Zhou Yi has been able to catch the ball in the direction of the attack in this attack, and there was a huge cheer from the stands.

In the midst of huge cheers, the defenders of Atletico Madrid rushed towards Zhou Yi.

This is based on the principle of "whoever has the ball is the biggest threat", and it is also due to the bet made by Zhou Yi and Sun Pan before the game, and the Atletico Madrid players regard Zhou Yi as the highest priority.

Almost in the blink of an eye, two lines of defense with depth and hierarchy were formed in front of Zhou Yi, and it became extremely difficult for Zhou Yi to shoot or break through. He would have to choose to return with his heels, as there would be no Dortmund players and no space to take advantage of in his field of vision.

Simeone, who saw this scene from the sidelines, had confidence in his players, and he believed that as long as Zhou Yi stopped the football, then the attack of Dortmund would end there.

In fact, Simeone's estimate is good, as long as Zhou Yi stops the football, whether it is dead at his feet or in front of his feet, the encirclement will shrink in an instant, turning into a shackle stuck in his neck, making him breathless.

But it's ...... Zhou Yi didn't intend to stop the ball, he picked up his right foot, met Lewandowski's sideways pass to the ball, and shoveled it. The ball then flew straight into the air and made an arc of external spin, bypassing the Atletico Madrid players who were crossing him and turning to the right side of the penalty area.

Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin jumped up and tried to push the ball out, and he started to rise to the top, he miscalculated the height of the ball, and the flight arc was higher than he thought!

The missed ball fell and was picked up by Royce who was inserted into the box!

"Royce-!!," Marcel Leif shouted in an excited voice.

Inserting into the penalty area, Reuss picked up his right leg on the run, bent his bow and kicked it out of the far top corner of the goal!

With a bang, the falling ball was struck in the middle by his forefoot, and then the ball drew a parabola and flew towards the back corner of the goal.

In the face of Royce's powerful and self-contained shot with the nature of a falling leaf, although Sun Pan jumped up and made a save, he couldn't touch the football - the apex of the parabola just bypassed the tips of his fingers!

Sun Pan, who didn't touch the football, raised his head and stared at the football, but he didn't see the scene of the football flying out of the goal, but saw the football grazing the junction of the goalpost and the crossbar and falling into the net......

"Ahhhh "Marco Reuss, Marco Reus!! a great world wave, he equalized for Borussia Dortmund!!"

The entire Wester** Stadium was ignited by the goal, and all the Dortmund fans jumped to their feet, and when they fell, the stadium shook as if it had been shaken.

"Marco!!!" shouted Norbert DiCole, DJ in the room, in a long voice.

Immediately afterwards, the Dortmund fans in the stadium responded to him with a loud voice: "- Reuss !!!"

That's the atmosphere at Borussia Dortmund's home, and it's what every Borussia Dortmund player dreams of. (To be continued.) )
