Chapter 251: Volley
After a very short break, the coaches each gave a few words, and the referee urged the players to hurry back to the field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Yi threw down the water bottle and walked back slowly.
All his movements are slow.
It's completely different from his usual self.
Mark came up and patted him on the shoulder with concern: "Are you okay, Zhou Yi?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Mark. Oh, Mark, you're a little bit more thief when the time comes. Zhou Yi took the opportunity to pull Mark and said.
"Okay, I understand. Mark nodded.

After the start of the second half of extra time, Klopp did not make a substitution for Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi remained on the field.
This made the Chinese fans in front of the TV temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.
It also reassures the Dortmund players.
Although Zhou Yi looked as if he was about to hang up, the Dortmund players still wanted Zhou Yi to stay on the pitch. It doesn't matter if he can't run, others help him run, and use more runs to make up for Zhou Yi's inability to run.
Zhou Yi helped them so much before, and now it's their turn to help Zhou Yi.
"With a whistle from referee Rizzoli, the second half of extra time began!"
※※※
As general experience shows, Borussia Dortmund were significantly more active in the second half of extra time than in the first.
This had to do with the fact that they got a certain amount of rest in the first half of extra time.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, also had fitness problems and had to slow down.
Of course, the more important reason is that Bayern Munich is already ahead, so naturally there is no need for them to continue attacking. What if the opponent counterattacks after pressing?
Bayern Munich are now leading the way, and they have good reason to be conservative and if they can hold on to that scoreline, they will win the Champions League.
In Dortmund's attack, Zhou Yi found that he didn't have to receive the ball frequently, and his teammates would not have to pass the football to him every time, and he would organize the attack.
Zhou Yi doesn't think that this is because his teammates don't trust him, he can see that this is his teammates' care and help for him.
They want to give themselves more rest and use their energy at critical moments.
Zhou Yi thanked his teammates for their kindness and had no intention of changing their approach.
Since his teammates have liberated him to some extent, he is not pretentious and just does what he has to do.
Because he doesn't have to be a "dispatch center", Zhou Yi's running position can be more free and flexible, and he doesn't have to appear near the football anytime and anywhere, he can stay away from the player in possession and appear where he thinks he should be.
With such a flexible running position, he can even run to the penalty area to grab points - this kind of thing he rarely did before, but it doesn't mean that he can't do it, you must know that in that virtual world, Zhou Yi can see his own data, and his off-ball running data is very high.
If you don't run well without the ball, you can't always find openings, and his ability to find openings is not only reflected in his ability to receive passes from teammates in midfield, but also to grab points in front of goal.
A good striker has to have excellent off-ball movement.

In fact, Dortmund's attack in the second half of extra time could not go through a series of passes as before, and find a breakthrough in the pass or something.
Borussia Dortmund don't have that much time.
Fifteen minutes doesn't seem short, but it's not too long.
When it is necessary to make a last-ditch effort, we tend to take a simpler and more direct approach, which may not be efficient, but there are enough times and quantities, and it may lead to qualitative changes.
Borussia Dortmund's simpler and more straightforward approach was to cross from the wing.
Hummels had already rushed to the front under Jurgen Klopp, acting as a central striker, threatening Bayern Munich's goal with his height and header advantage.
The two full-backs rushed up as wingers, constantly raising the ball and sending it towards goal.
Although it looks simple and crude, it is not technical, but it is just as terrifying for Bayern Munich fans.
There is no way to make a cross from the wing, and a kick out has a feeling of "resignation" to both the defending and attacking sides. A lot of people were dismissive of the late cross from the wing, believing it was a waste of opportunity.
But if you think about it, why do teams all over the world choose to play wide crosses when they need to fight to the death in the end? Is it because the managers of teams all over the world have problems in their brains and don't know if this is a waste of opportunity?
Since everyone uses it this way, there must be a reason for using it this way.
Wide crosses can waste a lot of chances, but they can also create a lot of chances, and if you let the attacker catch just one of those chances, it could be fatal......
That's exactly what Dortmund is trying to achieve now.
Because Hummels stepped forward, Bayern Munich's focus on the two tall men of Hummels and Lewandowski when defending.
As a player cultivated by Bayern Munich's youth system, Hummels has become the main force of Dortmund and has made very famous unfriendly remarks towards Bayern Munich. In the minds of many Bayern Munich fans, he is no different from the traitor Judas.
Now he is acting as a vanguard who wants to beat Bayern Munich, and the friendship that Bayern Munich cultivated him may have long forgotten him. Bayern Munich fans are even more unpleasant, as long as he has the opportunity to get the ball, there will be a shrill boo in the stands where Bayern Munich fans gather.
The Borussia Dortmund players don't care about the boos, and when they cross, they do go for Hummels or Lewandowski.
It's just that Hummels and Lewandowski are under the close marking of the other party, and the effect of jumping up and fighting for the top is not very good.
Zhou Yi discovered this through his own observations. He tried to run into the box to grab a point, but found that he was not well marked.
He wasn't surprised by this.
In German football, and even in European football, there is a widely circulated opinion about him Zhou Yi, which believes that Zhou Yi is not the kind of player who is closer to the goal, the greater the threat.
Outside the box, his level of threat to goal has little to do with his distance from goal.
And when he gets into the box, the closer he gets to goal, the less dangerous he is.
This view is based on Zhou Yi's weak physical confrontation ability.
Zhou Yi has never been a very strong player, and he looks skinny in the Dortmund team and is not bumped at all. He didn't win many physical duels in the game.
From his small body, it can certainly be concluded that he is not suitable for finding any opportunities in the penalty area with limited space and frequent physical confrontations. Not to mention fouls, people have normal physical contact, Zhou Yi may not be able to bear it, how can he grab the position?
Zhou Yi was not surprised by such a view, but he thought it was incorrect.
Some people say that physical confrontation is fierce and frequent in the penalty area, and it depends on the situation, which is true at set-pieces, where almost everyone on both sides has physical contact. But in sports warfare, that's not necessarily......
In addition, who said that there must be physical contact when entering the penalty area to grab points?
However, Zhou Yi never defended himself, people are willing to misunderstand, so let's misunderstand. Zhou Yi doesn't think there's anything wrong with being regarded as "weak" by others.
Because sometimes, he can profit from this preconceived view......
Like now.
※※※
When Reuss pulled to the right to cross, Zhou Yi ran from outside the box to the box, but he didn't run straight to the goal to grab the point - it wasn't where he was going at all, he ran straight to the back post.
Reuss used his technique to shake off the angle and then crossed with his feet, and he didn't even look at the situation in the box before the cross - he didn't have the time to pass the ball through with his sense and experience.
As for who can be topped in the end, it is not up to him to control.
It was only after passing the ball that he looked up into the penalty area.
Hummels and Lewandowski jumped one after the other to fight for the top.
Jumping with them were the Bayern Munich defenders.
But none of them got to the ball.
The ball from Royce made a clear outside arc, went around their heads, and then headed straight for the back of the box.
Everyone's eyes and attention turned with the football, and only then did they see Zhou Yi appear at the back point!
He shifted his posture sideways, then supported the pillar with his left foot and picked up his right foot!
This is a volley!
At this time, no one dared to ignore Zhou Yi's shot, because in regular time, it was Zhou Yi's shot that equalized Dortmund.
Just because he doesn't have the physicality in the box doesn't mean he doesn't have a crosshair......
So two Bayern Munich players in the penalty area suddenly pounced on Zhou Yi, and in addition, Neuer also reflexively pounced back, intending to block Zhou Yi's shot.
Zhou Yi saw everything in front of him clearly, not only the situation in front of him, but also the situation around him was basically in his mind.
He knows exactly where the players on both sides are.
So he knew what he should do next.
When the football flew to his feet, Zhou Yi's right foot did not shoot the football towards the goal, and the wonderful volley that everyone expected to see did not happen.
Zhou Yi just shook his ankle, and his right foot bounced the football in the air to the middle of the penalty area!
It's not a shot, it's a ...... Pass!
"Huh?!" Seeing that it was not a shot, He Ping was surprised.
Then an idea popped into his head - was this a mistake?!
No!
After He Ping's thinking ability recovered, he felt that this kick could not be Zhou Yi's hit, but a deliberate pass!
※※※
"Mark!!!" Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice, almost getting up from his seat.
In his roar, everyone realized that near the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area, Mark Wagner stepped up with an arrow, then supported his body with his right foot, and picked up with his left foot!
His movements were similar to Zhou Yi's movements just now, but in opposite directions, and the two of them seemed to be looking in the mirror.
Because Bayern Munich's defensive strength was first taken away by Lewandowski and Hummels, and the remaining part was attracted by Zhou Yi, so Mark is now in an unmarked situation, he can calmly bend the bow and arrow, store his strength, and then twist his body, the waist and hip drive the left leg, and the left leg drives the left foot, just like a whip, all the power is finally transmitted to the instep of the left foot through various parts, that is, the end of the whip.
The whip struck the soccer ball flying in the air!
With a bang, the grass clippings splashed everywhere, and the football rushed to the goal like a meteor, rubbing the surrounding air, penetrating the human wall in front of the penalty area with lightning speed, and flying into the goal from Neuer's side!
And Neuer, who was put on a swing by Zhou Yi, couldn't turn over and pounce at all, his body was still moving backwards according to inertia, and his arms were swinging back in vain, without touching the football at all......
