Playing at home, but falling behind, it was a blow to Valencia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

While Klopp applauded his disciple's performance, Emery was thinking about what to do.

In order to contain Zhou Yi, he kept the formation compact, which was no problem.

The only problem is that Zhou Yi's ability to find space is too powerful, and just the occasional negligence allows him to seize the opportunity to send such a deadly pass.

Now it seems that although the space is compressed, it is not enough.

After the restart, Emery is yet to make a decision. Players on the field can only play according to the previous arrangement.

During this time, Dortmund, who had just scored a goal, was in high spirits again, and the players were in better shape than before, daring to make moves and dare to fight.

As a result, Dortmund gradually suppressed Valencia on the field.

And several successive attacks threatened the goal guarded by César Sanchez.

Valencia was very passive during this period and was completely suppressed by Borussia Dortmund on the field.

The Spanish commentators were all in danger.

"Valencia look like they're going to concede again in a short period of time!

Fortunately, Unai Emery made a quick decision and continued to defend as before, but was more aggressive when defending against Zhou Yi and a few of Dortmund's main attacking players.

In the past, after Zhou Yi received the ball, there were Valencia players who pounced. After the adjustment, it was Valencia's players who pounced on Zhou Yi with the football.

As soon as Zhou Yi received the ball, he was knocked by the opponent, and he had the opportunity to pass the football forward, but in the end it became a return pass. Because only to ensure that the ball is not lost, any other way needs more adjustment, and at that time, the opponent would have already snatched the ball.

Zhou Yi can only send back for security reasons.

Grosskloitz and Götze, who cut in front of the wing, ran for nothing.

Zhou Yi can't help it, the referee will blow a foul, but what's the use of blowing it? If it blows, it doesn't play cards, and Valencia has already interrupted Dortmund's attack anyway, and the goal has been achieved.

Because Zhou Yi's position on the field is a midfielder, most of the time the first time to get the ball is in the backfield, so the place where Valencia fouled is also here, too far away from their goal, it can hardly be called a threatening attack was stopped by a foul. For fouls in such places, as long as it is not the kind of foul with particularly bad circumstances such as back tackles and elbow strikes, the referee will generally not give cards.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi is not in a rut, of course he will not want to exchange his serious injury for a red card for the other party, isn't that a brain disease?

It's still the most important thing to stay on the pitch, as long as you can stay on the pitch, you can contribute, and if you get off the pitch, no matter what the reason is, then everything that happens on the pitch has nothing to do with you.

Now it seems that he is very limited by the opponent's foul tactics, and it seems that he can only pass back and horizontally, but Zhou Yi never felt that there was anything wrong with doing this, he was just waiting for the opportunity to appear in his heart.

When he can't send a fatal pass forward, Zhou Yi will not be in a hurry, he will do his job as a midfield conversion hub, passing the ball from his teammates to other teammates, it's as simple as that.

Originally, in football, a midfielder could not have made every shot a lethal threatening pass that could create a shooting opportunity.

The important thing is the mentality, not to be provoked by these small actions of the other party.

A midfield commander, if he loses his composure and loses his rational judgment of the development of the situation, then he is not worthy of being a commander, because he will only lead his team to the ditch and go to destruction.

So although his passing will always be interfered with by the opponent, and his organizational offense will always be interfered with by the opponent with fouls and small actions, when the live TV shows Zhou Yi a close-up, no one can see a trace of anger and dissatisfaction on his face.

At most, he will spread his hand to the referee, which is helpless and a civilized protest.

Although Emery's tactical tweaks did not quite fit everyone's definition of "beautiful football", they were effective.

Dortmund's arrogance, which had just been arrogance, was immediately subdued.

Having stabilized the situation, Valencia began to think about an equaliser and did not want to go into the break with a goal down.

You know, this is their home turf!

However, just as Valencia had an idea and started to fight back, their control of the midfield defense dropped with it.

The chains that bound Zhou Yi loosened slightly, and Zhou Yi immediately sent a beautiful through ball forward, and if it hadn't been for Grosskloitz's shot over the crossbar, Dortmund would have taken a two-goal lead in the 41st minute.

Although they did not concede a goal, Borussia Dortmund's attack was a wake-up call for Valencia to realise that the danger was not over.

So then Valencia went back to their previous form, first of all, to make sure that they didn't concede goals, as for scoring goals or something...... I'll think about it later.

In this way, the first half of the game came to the end in a stalemate.

The referee blows the whistle and the game ends.

The Valencia players walked off the pitch a little depressed.

Jurgen Klopp praised his team's performance at 15 minutes of the break, but also asked his players to stay focused in the second half and not get carried away because they are now one goal ahead.

"I have to remind you again, guys, it's the Champions League. You know what the name means, but it's not the same league as usual. In the league you may think it's safe to be one goal ahead in the first half, but in the Champions League, you can go from leading to falling behind in a matter of minutes. The opponents here are not easy to deal with, so be careful. ”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Valencia's manager Unai Emery is making detailed tactical adjustments, which are much more detailed than the few words he yelled on the sidelines.

The main thing is an offensive improvement.

As for the defense, in the final stages of the first half, Valencia could already do a good job of containing Zhou Yi.

The crux of the matter is that after Zhou Yi is contained, there is no extra energy to attack.

This is not good, if it continues like this in the second half, even if you don't concede any more goals, the score of 0:1 behind can't be rewritten.

Or to attack.

For this reason, Emery asked everyone to run more and run faster.

In addition, when switching between offense and defense, attention should be highly concentrated. The goal conceded was actually the team's distraction in the continuous offensive and defensive transitions, and it was caught off guard by Dortmund.

After a half-time break, the two sides returned to the pitch.

The second half began.

Valencia faithfully executed the tactics that the manager had arranged at half-time.

While they defended Zhou Yi very tightly, they also actively strengthened their offense.

However, Klopp is not a vegetarian either, and he made adjustments at half-time.

The opponent is now obviously putting the focus of defense on Zhou Yi. Then don't let Zhou Yilai organize the attack, let Shinji Kagawa retreat a little, let Gotze lean a little closer to the middle, and the two of them can send lethal passes.

Positioning becomes a scheduling that controls the rhythm, but it doesn't need to make the last pass.

The adjustment paid off quickly, as Valencia put their defensive focus on Zhou Yi and lacked care for the rest of Borussia Dortmund's players.

In the 69th minute, Zhou Yi retreated to the back line to ask for the ball, widening the distance between him and the Valencia player, and after receiving the ball, he directly turned around and sent a 20-meter pass to find Shinji Kagawa, who retreated.

Shinji Kagawa stopped the ball and passed the ball to Gotze, who came up to pick him up, and then turned and ran forward. Gotze sent the football out again, and the two of them made a one-two.

Shinji Kagawa received the ball and pretended to shoot from a distance, but gave the football to Barrios, who was in a flexible position.

Barrios fired a shot from the edge of the box and the ball arced past goalkeeper César Sanchez and into the back of the net.

2：0！

"It's in! Beautiful goal!" exclaimed Marcel Leif excitedly. "Borussia Dortmund are two goals ahead on the road!"

"Good shot! Barrios scored twice!" He Ping shouted, "Although this goal was not directly assisted by Zhou Yi, but he initiated it! After receiving the ball, he decisively found Kagawa Shinji, and took advantage of Valencia's defense to adjust the defensive focus to Kagawa Shinji in time......"

As a qualified Chinese commentator, the most basic quality is to be able to find an angle to praise Zhou Yi no matter who scored the goal or who assisted.

And because of Zhou Yi's outstanding performance, even if he blows it like this, no one will be disgusted.

After the goal, Barrios and Shinji Kagawa hugged each other. Zhou Yi, who was in the backcourt, was also hugged by Sven Bender, and the two of them ran to the front court with other players to participate in the celebration.

Watching the Borussia Dortmund players in yellow jerseys celebrate at the Mestalla Stadium was a sight to behold.

Before the game, everyone thought that Dortmund, who participated in the Champions League for the first time in seven years, lacked experience, and challenged Valencia away, so it was a good result not to lose, and Klopp should adopt a relatively conservative tactical strategy away from home.

Unexpectedly, Dortmund's performance was surprising and impressive.

Instead of being conservative, they stuck to their style of play and instead led Valencia by two goals away from home!
