Chapter 471: A Straight Plug That Caught You Off Guard
Zhou Yi ...... Straight over the top!!" In Marcel Leif's exclamation, the football was kicked up by Zhou Yi, and then flew high, over the heads of all the players, and fell behind Schalke 04's backline!
All this came too suddenly, everyone didn't react, Schalke 04's back line didn't even retreat at all, and suddenly a young player in a yellow jersey burst out of the blue defense line, it was Gotze!
"Mario Gotze!!"
Gotze looked back at the flying football, then stretched out his foot to unload the ball in the air, the linesman did not raise the flag, and the referee did not blow the whistle, so he let Gotze stop the football and face Schalke 04's goalkeeper Annestal in the penalty area!
"Single Knife!"
Annestal didn't expect Dortmund to break through the Schalke 04 back line so casually, he didn't attack in time for a while, and when he attacked again, it was too late, Gotze stopped the football steadily, he even had enough time to adjust the preparation, and then ...... Kick and shoot!
The ball scurried past the attacking Anesthal, who did not pounce on the ball and could only watch as it rolled into the net......
"Tooooooo!
"The ball went in!!Gotze! It was Zhou Yi who assisted him! A beautiful assist, in a flash, the football hit the midfield to Schalke 04's penalty area! What a precise kick over the top straight stop!" Duan Xin also accurately found the highlight of this goal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, although Gotze stopped beautifully and shot accurately, if you want to talk about the biggest hero of this ball, of course, it should be Zhou Yi!
If there was no Zhou Yi's sudden and accurate through ball, how could it be possible to catch the Schalke 04 back line off guard?
You must know that this is a Ruhr derby, normally speaking, the Schalke 04 backline is unlikely to make any mistakes like lack of concentration, they will be tense all over the game, how can they not be concentrated enough?
It's just that no matter how tense your nerves, no matter how concentrated your attention, no matter how hard you wait, you can't do anything in the face of Zhou Yi's idle cloud and wild crane, and there is no trace of the straight ball.

After Zhou Yi scored a goal, he turned his head to Yang Muge next to him and said, "Don't keep up this time, Old Yang!"
With that, he ran to GΓΆtze, who had scored the goal, and went to celebrate with him and the other players.
Leaving Yang Muge in place and looking at his back, he was distracted.
He really didn't expect Zhou Yi to send a through ball directly, he looked at the other side of the court when he watched Zhou Yi catch the ball, he thought that Zhou Yi was going to transfer the football to the other side, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to send a through ball, and in the whole process of passing, he didn't even look in front of him!
Although Yang Muge already knew a lot about how powerful Zhou Yi was, he was still surprised by Zhou Yi's performance in the game - this is okay?
If you don't look at the direction of the pass, you can still pass the ball so accurately?!
At the same time, in the group, everyone is also discussing Dortmund's goal, of course, mainly discussing Zhou Yi's pass.
"If you don't watch the ball, you just pass it like this, is he Ronaldinho!" Guo Nu exclaimed in the group.
"Zhou Yi is really ...... How can this kid progress so fast?" Sun Pan was also speechless. "After looking at him every once in a while, I found that he had a new trick. β
"Talent. He Ying commented simply. What he is sure now is that in fact, if Zhou Yi had chosen to go to Barcelona at the beginning, with his ability, I am afraid it would not be difficult to play in the first team. But if he had gone to Barcelona in the first place, would he still have the opportunity to go to Barcelona himself?

The TV is constantly replaying Dortmund's goal just now, and Zhou Yi's pass is naturally the focus of everyone's attention, because the essence of this ball is actually on this pass. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's unexpected through ball, Dortmund's attempt to penetrate Schalke 04's defense would definitely not be as simple as it is now.
It can be said that Schalke 04's backline is a little bit forward, which is their only weakness, but this weakness is actually easy to compensate, as long as Dortmund controls the ball in the front court for a little longer, Schalke 04's backline will fall back. Schalke 04 had been doing well before conceding the goal.
But who would have thought that Zhou Yi's kick was so fast and accurate?
Not giving the Schalke 04 backline a chance to react at all......
The commentators lamented that although it was far away from the goal, Zhou Yi could still launch such a deadly attack directly.

Gotze's goal brought the game back to the starting point, and from the point of view of the score, no one took advantage, but in terms of morale, Dortmund, who had just equalized, was of course higher than Schalke 04, who had just conceded a goal, so it was actually Dortmund who had a slight advantage.
Dortmund, who had the upper hand, launched a fierce attack on Schalke 04's goal after the game restarted.
And despite being very unwilling, Schalke 04 was still pressed back into his own half by Dortmund, and he couldn't even lift his head after being beaten.
During this time, the stadium was full of boos, booing the Dortmund players, booing Zhou Yi.
And during this time, Yang Muge was also very busy, he was responsible for defending Zhou Yi, and he was like a shadow to Zhou Yi. The conceded goal just now didn't seem to have any negative impact on him, he was even closer than before, if Zhou Yiyi turned his head, he could almost kiss Yang Muge's face......
Zhou Yi took the time to complain: "Lao Yang, you just hold my arm and kick the ball." β
Yang Muge smiled slightly: "I want to too, but I will foul." β
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.
However, Yang Muge's stubborn defensive method did cause a little trouble to Zhou Yi, it was still difficult for him to send a threatening ball forward, the ball he gave to Gotze just now needed a lot of factors to come together, but such opportunities don't come often. Schalke 04 strengthened the protection behind the defense line after conceding the goal, which is why Zhou Yi insisted on killing with one blow just now - if it was unsuccessful, now Schalke 04's adjustment is to be taken aback. And after success, now their adjustment is just a remedy......
Just now, after Zhou Yi assisted Gotze, Duan Xin spared no effort to praise Zhou Yi, and now it is his turn to spare no effort to praise Yang Muge, after all, they are all Chinese players, you can't favor one over the other, right?
In his opinion, although Yang Muge is not as beautiful as Zhou Yi, it is very important for Schalke 04.
β...... Yang Muge looked like Zhou Yi's shadow, and when the angle was special, he couldn't even see him at all, because he was blocked by Zhou Yi in front of him. But if Dortmund's players think that Zhou Yi has no one to mark and pass the football over, Yang Muge will suddenly appear...... I don't think Yang Muge is a player who can please most people, but he is a very important player. His experience at Schalke 04 really illustrates that...... Under his defense, Zhou Yi actually sent fewer lethal passes in this game than in a draw game, but not many people can notice this......"
In fact, there is one thing that can explain Yang Muge's contribution - under his defense like Zhou Yi kraft candy, the high-spirited Dortmund did not succeed in chasing Schalke 04 after the goal, and they found that they could not score quickly after attacking for a while, so they slowed down the tempo. After all, they are also worried that the space behind them will be caught by Schalke 04 and fight back, and Julian Draxler is capable of this.
After Borussia Dortmund's recovery, a stalemate in midfield began.
Until the end of the first half, no one scored again, the score was 1:1, and the two teams went into halftime.
As a local derby, this first half is normal, and there are still 45 minutes left in the second half, which is enough for them to decide whether to win or lose.

In the locker room, Schalke 04's head coach Stevens praised Yang Muge's performance, he was a little worried that Yang Muge had some psychological fluctuations because of the lost goal, in fact, Yang Muge's performance in the first half was really good, if it weren't for him, Schalke 04 would definitely play harder than now, and he only gave Zhou Yi a chance in the entire first half. This can't be said to be Yang Muge's fault, but Zhou Yi is too strong......
However, in fact, Yang Muge did not.
He has always had a very clear understanding of himself in his heart, he is not a savior, nor is he the kind of superstar who can change the outcome of a game on his own, he is a role player, he does whatever he does in any position, and he can't take care of other things. He has no ambition, and at the same time knows his own pounds, so such a loss of a goal will not have any impact on him, he doesn't need others to comfort him, and he knows that it is not his own fault, football is a collective sport, in addition to him, Schalke 04 has ten people, a loss of a goal to let him be responsible alone, how can he bear this responsibility?
Winning is not his fault, and neither is losing either.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Yang Muge can always work on the court.
In fact, there are not many people who can realize themselves as clearly as him now......
On the Dortmund side, Klopp made adjustments, asking other players to take on more tasks, and Zhou Yi can't be expected to comb the midfield and control the rhythm while frequently sending a fatal pass, he can see that the Chinese midfielder of Schalke 04 knows Zhou Yi very well, and the defense is also very tight, Zhou Yi will use more energy to get rid of his entanglement, the burden is already very heavy, and it is not appropriate to have more requirements for him on this basis.
