Chapter 194: A stab
When the game resumed, Augsburg launched a fierce attack on the Dortmund goal, hoping to take advantage of the momentum of the equaliser, score another goal, and completely take the initiative of the game into their own hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of Augsburg's aggressive attack, Dortmund shrank their defence.
This is also a very normal adjustment, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
But in defense, Zhou Yi always kept turning his head, looking around and observing the situation on the field.
He imprints everything that happens on the pitch in his mind, constantly updating the data and analysing it.
Looking for the best chance to counter-attack.
The reason for this caution is that Zhou Yi doesn't want to surprise the snake - if Augsburg realizes that they will concede goals by attacking like this, then he will probably shrink the defense. Dortmund then lost their best chance to score.
For Augsburg, it's an away game, and even if they don't win in the end, it's not unacceptable to get a point.
But Dortmund can't accept it, they have to win, they can only win.
When the time comes, after the mentality of both sides changes, the initiative will fall into the hands of Augsburg again.
Therefore, Zhou Yi must be cautious to ensure the success rate.
Originally, if he was pressed by the opponent, there would be few offensive opportunities, and he didn't have many opportunities to squander and waste.
Besides, Yan Min can't be at the front and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, as a fullback, or winger, he not only has to attack, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of returning to defense. At the peak of the Augsburg offensive, Dortmund's whole team had to defend back, otherwise it was difficult to say whether the goal could guarantee not to concede the goal, and how could he stay in front alone?
In this way, it naturally makes Dortmund's counterattack opportunities less and more wasteful.

Zhou Yi is looking for an opportunity to fight back, and Yan Min is also looking for it.
He is also very aware of the current situation - others are defending in the back, wanting Zhou Yi to directly send the football behind the opponent's defense with a long pass, and then take the ball in an offside position, run to the opponent's penalty area with the ball, directly face the goalkeeper, and easily hit the ball into the goal, such a thing will almost never happen.
If he rushes too far forward, the defensive formation of the whole team will be incomplete, and it will also cause the opponent to be vigilant.
So he can only maintain the status quo, defending at the back while waiting for opportunities to counterattack.
In this way, I'm afraid he will have to break through a few people with the ball.
Yan Min doesn't find it difficult to do this, breaking through with the ball is like eating and drinking, it is common for him, and he is the best at doing this.
What is needed now is opportunity.
He's waiting for an opportunity.

In the 75th minute, Augsburg attacked, this time all the way to the Dortmund goal, but their cross was picked straight into the air by the onrushing Weidenfeller.
When he landed, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yi.
The tacit understanding of playing football together for so many years made him not need to wait for Zhou Yi's signal at all, so he directly threw the football out and threw it to Zhou Yi outside the penalty area.
Zhou Yi used his chest to cushion the football and completed the turn at the same time.
Then he lifted his foot and bounced the ball that had fallen from the air straight to the feet of nearby Sven Bender.
After passing the ball, he quickly ran forward and opened the angle to respond.
Sven Bender was quick to get the ball back.
Zhou Yi, who received the ball, suddenly became the focus of attention on the field, especially the Augsburg players.
Zhou Yi's awesomeness doesn't need to be repeated.
As soon as he got the ball, an Augsburg player immediately pressed up and wanted to block Zhou Yi's ball.
And it's not just as simple as stopping a Dortmund attack, but also taking the opportunity to catch Dortmund off guard, maybe you can score?
Facing the Augsburg players who came up to rush him, Zhou Yi did not pass the football out at the first time, but paused, then changed direction slightly and went to the middle. It looked like a dodge move, but it put him in the encirclement of Augsburg - and his change of direction awaited him not just one Augsburg player, but three Augsburg players.
Seeing Zhou Yi change direction with the ball, the Augsburg players who were still retreating did not retreat, but pounced, intending to work together to surround Zhou Yi here.
"Zhou Yi is still dribbling the ball...... Marcel Leif said worriedly, in his opinion, Zhou Yi should pass the ball quickly, counterattack, play a fast, if the pace is slowed down, then what is the threat of such a counterattack?
Just when everyone thought that Zhou Yi was going to be surrounded by Augsburg players, Zhou Yi's left foot suddenly glanced outward, and the toe of his left foot unknowingly poked the football out. At the same time, he picked up his right leg and made a gesture to kick the ball. Compared with the hidden left toe poke ball, he picked up his right leg with a greater range of movements, which naturally attracted more people's attention, and no one expected that at the same time as he slammed his foot, his left foot had already poked the football out.
And not casually, he passed the ball to his left, where there was a noticeable gap as he turned right. And this vacancy was left to Yan Min, who was plugged in later.
At this time, Zhou Yi's right foot also completed the action of picking his legs, and he kicked a false kick, but he didn't kick anything except air.
After the kick, he spread his hand at the defender in front of him and made a very innocent expression.
And at this time, Yan Min had already rushed up!
Zhou Yi ...... Yan Min! Zhou Yi's pass is so imaginative! A master-like feint!" Duan Xin picked up Zhou Yilai, who was really from the heart and unpretentious.
In front of Yan Min, there was still half a court away. Zhou Yi passed the football to him near the center circle, and there were still Augsburg players in front of him, not an open field.
At this time, those Augsburg players also reflexively pounced and intercepted Yan Min, especially in front of Yan Min and Augsburg's right-back Paul Wilhager, who was still in a position where he could jam Yan Min's forward path.
But in Yan Min's opinion, this is not a problem.
Zhou Yi's pass was not only concealed and accurate, but also fully took into account Yan Min's technical characteristics, and did not pass the football directly to Yan Min's feet, but passed it to his side, so that Yan Min could take advantage of the opportunity to fully raise the speed.
Yan Min did not disappoint him, running faster and faster, and his two legs were like Hot Wheels.
Then just as he was about to receive the ball, he glanced at the position of Verhag in front of him.
There are still about five or six meters away from him, and if you catch the ball yourself, whether you adjust or continue to dribble, your speed will be affected, which will give the opponent a chance to take advantage of.
Look behind him, there is a vacancy, thirty meters of Augsburg.
Yan Min knew what to do.
He picked up his left foot and made a direct pass, but when his foot landed, he slammed the ball in front of him, behind Verhag!
The ball flew past Verhag.
Along with the football start, Yan Min is also launched!
Directly he accelerated wildly, and instantly narrowed the distance between himself and Verhag.
At this time, Verhagrid's body was only halfway turned......
"Oh my God! He rushed past Verhag like a high-speed train. Poor Verhagrid...... He stretched out his hand to pull Yan Min, but he didn't hold anything, but instead let himself lose his balance and fall to the ground...... Oh my God! Augsburg's backline was completely crushed by Yan Min's rush!"
At this moment, the West** Stadium resounded with a tsunami-like cheer.
Zhou Yi saw Yan Min's speed, and he didn't run forward - he knew that he couldn't catch up when he ran, and he couldn't answer Yan Min's pass.
And at this time, he believes that Yan Min must be confident that he will shoot by himself.
He was once criticized by the media fans for his shots, but that didn't change him, he is the kind of person who makes what he thinks is the right choice and doesn't regret it.
Isn't that nice......
Zhou Yi honestly cheered for Yan Min in the back.
※※※
Yan Min pierced the Augsburg backline like a shock, and then caught up with the football, at this time he was basically facing the goal directly. Despite Aubameyang's mid-range involvement, he has two Augsburg players around him, and even if Yan Min passes the ball, it will be difficult for him to make a difference.
In fact, he is also aware of his role, at this time, all he can do is to attract some Augsburg players for Yan Min and create better conditions for Yan Min's single knife.
"Yan Min, Dortmund's chance!" Duan Xin's heart ran to his throat, passing the ball or shooting?
The scene of the original game against Arsenal appeared in front of Duan Xin's eyes, and it seemed to overlap with the current scene.
While Duan Xin was thinking wildly, Yan Min had already entered the Augsburg penalty area.
He didn't think about it that much, he only had football in Augsburg in his eyes now.
With such momentum, how can you not have a wonderful ending in the end?
Otherwise, he would be sorry for Zhou Yi's pass!
Yan Min finally slowed down when he entered the penalty area, made a sharp stop and changed direction, turned into the middle, and threw aside Augsburg defender Carlsen Braque, who had been stuck in front of him, and then picked up his right foot.
As a right-footed player, he played on the left side, in order to cut inside and shoot this time!
Just like Robben will play on the right side with his left foot, the whole world knows that he has to cut inside when he plays on the right side, and he has to shoot after cutting inside, but you just can't prevent it!
Yan Min hit the soccer ball with his right foot and shot the ball into the back corner!
Augsburg goalkeeper Hitz, who had just pounced on this side, had to turn around and pounce back, and two consecutive changes of direction made him unbearable, this aerial action was not strong enough, the height was too low, and the distance was not enough, and he did not touch the football.
The ball arced and drilled into the back corner of the goal!
A perfect full stop!
