Chapter 90: Retirement
The celebrations at Dortmund were over, the players were back in their own half, and the boos in the stands were still loud – and the City fans didn't shut up at the gestures of the Dortmund players. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is also very normal, it is never a gesture that can silence the opponent, but a goal.
Coming from two goals down has Manchester City in a hurry, how could they possibly lose on their own home turf?
So after the restart, the City players were noticeably bigger and more aggressive on the pitch.
Especially Zhou Yi, who was "taken care of" by the opponent in all aspects, as long as he got the ball, the Manchester City players would rush up and grab the ball with aggressive movements, if Zhou Yi didn't want to be injured, he had better obediently give up possession.
But Zhou Yi didn't do it.
When Yaya Toure's leg swept towards him, he had just pushed the ball away and jumped up, but it was still half a step too late, and Toure's leg rubbed against his toes.
Zhou Yi, who was in the air, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded and Toure fouled!
Yaya Toure didn't see it that way, he appealed to the referee, signaling that Zhou Yi was a fake fall, because he felt that his strength should not make Zhou Yi fall so hard, and Zhou Yi's fall was suspected of performance.
"There's nothing to complain about, is it?" said Marcel Leff. Looking at the slow motion, Toure's foot kicked Zhou Yi's toe firmly. It's also Zhou Yi who is smart, jumping up in advance to dodge and dodge, if he doesn't jump, I'm afraid Toure's kick will kick directly on his calf bone, and then Zhou Yi's calf will not be fractured, even if it is lucky!"
Mark Laurenson, the British commentator, also thinks that Toure's kick is with the purpose of venting his emotions, which is not very wise: "Don't argue with the referee, be careful to say too much to provoke the referee to give you another card, if I were Toure, I would immediately show favor to Zhou Yi just now......"
In the end, the referee, Krárowitz, did not give Toure a card, but gave him a verbal warning.
This penalty caused He Ping's dissatisfaction: "At least you should have received a yellow card, right? But the result was nothing...... Even if it is a Premier League team, such a physical contact must be a very bad foul! Don't say that Zhou Yi faked a fall or something, if Zhou Yi doesn't hide, I'm afraid that this time I will suffer even worse!"
Fake falls are hated by almost everyone because this kind of deception is against sportsmanship and is a very dirty tactic. Therefore, the media will never say that fake falls are a good thing, and if a player is labeled as "loving fake falls", many things will become more unfavorable to him.
But in Zhou Yi's case, it seems unfair to criticize him for faking a fall.
He is not a fake fall of subjective will, although it seems that the fall is a bit exaggerated, he just wanted to dodge but did not dodge, and according to Newton's second law, once his small body falls, it will naturally look a little exaggerated......
※※※
The foul did not allow Toure to receive a yellow card, and referee Kralowitz was merciful at the critical moment, only giving him a verbal warning. But this didn't make Yaya Toure have any scruples, he still went his own way, and even decided that Zhou Yi was a despicable and shameless fake wrestler, so in the next game, he became even more aggressive with Zhou Yi.
Only three minutes later, in the scramble with Zhou Yi, he raised his arm, and his elbow just poked Zhou Yi's face.
When Zhou Yi covered his face and fell to the ground, the whistle of referee Krárowitz sounded again.
"This time we should have given the cards!" shouted Marcel Leff.
"This is an elbow blow!" He Ping is also quite dissatisfied, the top ten match of the Chinese national team against the Australian national team is close at hand, if the core of the Chinese team Zhou Yi is injured in the game, there is something long and two short, unable to participate in the national team competition, it is a very heavy blow to the Chinese team, not only the head coach of the Chinese national team Gao Hongbo does not agree, but the fans of all China may not agree!
Yaya Toure ...... He's going to be careful!" Mark Laurenson also tactfully criticized. Since he discovered Zhou Yi's talent, his ass has been completely crooked - although he is a British commentator, he is resolutely on Zhou Yi's side when it comes to Zhou Yi.
Because he was impressed by Zhou Yi's talent, he believes that the entire football world should protect Zhou Yi as he did to protect Messi, and if a genius like Zhou Yi falls due to injury, it will be a great loss for the entire world football.
Zhou Yi covered his face and fell to the ground, attracting the anger of the Dortmund players, who quickly rushed up to surround Yaya Toure, who raised his hands to show his innocence.
He explained to the Dortmund players who surrounded him and denounced him: "...... I didn't mean to, I really wasn't, I just habitually spread my arms, I didn't want to hit him......"
The Manchester City fans in the stands let out a huge boo, and their boos were certainly not for Yaya Toure, but for Zhou Yi, who thought that Zhou Yi was faking a fall - anyway, as long as Zhou Yi fell to the ground in physical contact with a Manchester City player, it must be Zhou Yi's fake fall.
That's the simple logic of the fans.
However, the referee saw it clearly and he ran up and gave Yaya Toure a yellow card.
As soon as the yellow card was revealed, the boos over the Etihad Stadium were even louder, with City fans believing the referee's decision was unfair.
It's not just Manchester City fans who think the penalty is unfair, but Dortmund fans as well.
Marcel Leif said: "Actually, Yaya Toure's foul should have been given a red card directly!"
He Ping was also disappointed: "It's just a yellow card? If such fouls are all yellow cards, do you have to break Zhou Yi's leg to give a red card?"
Amid the arguments and boos, Gotze pulled Zhou Yi up from the ground and asked him with concern, "How is it?"
"It's fine. Zhou Yi removed the hand covering half of his cheek, and could see that near his cheekbones, there was a red spot, which was the mark left by Yaya Toure's elbow after intimate contact with Zhou Yi's face.
Some players were bleeding after being elbowed, which looked very scary, and Zhou Yi just left a red spot on his face, which can really be barely regarded as "okay". But this is not Yaya Toure's "elbow" mercy. It's because when his elbow was about to poke over, Zhou Yi subconsciously tilted his head to the side, which just made Yaya Toure's elbow rub against his cheekbone, if he didn't dodge, Yaya Toure would definitely hit his temple or the corner of his eye firmly, then half of his face was stained red with blood......
It doesn't look like he's hurt seriously, but the action of falling to the ground is terrifying, can you say that Zhou Yi faked a fall?
Except for Manchester City supporters, I'm afraid no one will think that Zhou Yi is a fake fall.
※※※
Jurgen Klopp saw signs off the pitch that the game was getting out of hand, and the City players looked like bulls in a hurry, looking at the Borussia Dortmund players in yellow jerseys as red cloths.
Especially Zhou Yi, in just six minutes, has been violated by Manchester City players three times and fell to the ground.
Although he alone has left three Manchester City players with yellow cards, he is himself in danger.
Thinking of this, Klopp decided to replace Zhou Yi.
Although there are fifteen minutes to go before the end of the game, replacing Zhou Yi could put Dortmund's midfield and backline under great pressure, but Klopp would rather take that risk than let Zhou Yi get injured in the game.
Now Dortmund can leave anyone, but they can't leave Zhou Yi.
So in the two-minute dead ball, he decisively replaced Zhou Yi with Grosskreutz.
When Zhou Yi found out that he had been replaced, he limped to the sidelines. It was a move that made many people worry - he must have been injured in the previous game.
A Manchester City player ran up and asked Zhou Yi not to delay time, Zhou Yi simply stopped and explained to him very seriously that his ankle was a little painful and he couldn't walk fast, and if he was willing to carry himself down, he wouldn't mind.
The other party will certainly not agree to such a request - dragging him down is almost ......
Other Manchester City players protested to the referee about Zhou Yi's alleged delay in the game.
So the referee Kralovitz came to communicate with Zhou Yi again.
Zhou Yi just limped two steps, and when he saw the referee running up, he stopped again......
Boos erupted in the stands – and City fans were convinced that he must have been deliberately delaying the game.
Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, and his expression was calm and calm in the face of the boos from all over the sky. Even if he gets a yellow card for delaying, it doesn't matter to him, and he hasn't received a yellow card in the Champions League this season anyway.
Referee Kralowitz ran up, and Zhou Yi explained to him that his foot hurt and he couldn't run.
Look at the color of Zhou Yi's jersey, and then look at the scratches on his arms and legs, you can know that he is not lying.
So Kralovitz accepted his explanation, allowing him to use his walk, and at the same time turned around to tell the disgruntled Manchester City players that Zhou Yi was indeed unable to move.
No matter how unhappy the Manchester City players were, and no matter how heartbreaking the boos of those Manchester City fans in the stands, Zhou Yi limped like a lonely but stubborn walker, and walked slowly to the sidelines. The distance of less than twenty meters was as long as a century under his feet.
The thought that he was so dragged with his injured leg to assist his teammates in two goals and helped the team to take a two-goal lead has to be awe-inspiring.
But many people frowned, worried about Zhou Yi's next game.
Grosskloitz, who was waiting for Zhou Yi to come down on the sidelines, leaned into his ear and asked, "How is the injury?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi smiled slightly, and said in his ear: "I pretended." ”
Grosskloitz, who had already run out, stumbled and almost fell, he turned his head and saw Zhou Yi striding towards the same anxious head coach Klopp, that steady pace, how could there be the slightest shadow of limping?
At this moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, Grosskloitz felt that the boos over the Etihad Stadium seemed to suddenly increase a little...... (To be continued.) )
