Chapter Ninety-Five: Monday Feet
The game went on for another four minutes, and the pace of the transition between attack and defense between the two sides was still fast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Schalke 04 just attacked the front of Dortmund's penalty area, and now it is Dortmund's turn to attack.
Subotic brought the ball forward at the back, and when he was about to halfway through the line, he was intercepted by an opposing player, so he passed the ball to the side and to the forward full-back Grosskreutz.
It's just that the ball is not particularly good, it doesn't go directly to Grosskreutz's feet, but it passes a little forward, and Grosskreutz has to work hard to rush forward to get to the football, and if you want to stop the ball, it's almost impossible.
Grosskreutz knew he couldn't control the ball, so he chose to pass it out.
He got ahead of the defenders, fell to the ground and stabbed the ball to Royce in the ribs.
Royce ran up from behind at high speed, and it was Zhou Yi who was supposed to pick up Grosskreutz in the middle, and Zhou Yi accelerated to the ribs.
But Royce ran up.
Before Reuss received the ball, Zhou Yi noticed his position, so he stepped back and moved to the middle.
After receiving a pass from Grosskreutz, Reus did not stop the ball or continue to dribble, but swept the ball to the middle with his right foot and crossed it!
He passed the football to Zhou Yi!
Neustadt originally followed Zhou Yi to the ribs, but Zhou Yi suddenly changed his running route halfway through the run, and Neustadt also wanted to stop and change direction, but his height of 1.90 meters was compared with Zhou Yi, who was less than 1.78 meters, and the inertia was a little large, and this emergency stop change direction was not flexible enough, plus he was a passive change of direction, and Zhou Yi was actively changing direction, and he was more prepared.
With such a time difference, Zhou Yi got rid of Neustadt's relentless pursuit behind him!
"Zhou Yi!"
Zhou Yi, who got rid of Neustadt, caught up with the football sideways, and by this time, he and the football were almost at the top of the free throw arc.
Schalke 04's central defender Hovedes could no longer stay on the line of the penalty area and ignored Zhou Yi's ball, and he rushed straight towards Zhou Yi.
Seeing this, Yang Muge secretly screamed that it was not good!
The centre-backs were pulled out, but the two full-backs were still behind...... This is the most feared inverted horseshoe shape in the defense, which means that there will be a huge gap in the middle!
So he was originally in charge of the sweep and hurriedly accelerated to the penalty area, and he didn't go to defend against Zhou Yi, but rushed to make up for the vacancy behind Hovedes. He'd already seen Aubameyang slashing into that gap!
As long as Zhou Yi stuffs the football over, it will be a single knife!
At the same time, the attention of Fuchs, another defender who was supposed to follow Royce, was also attracted by Zhou Yi who was holding the ball, although he was still running back, but the speed was not fast, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, and he didn't see what Royce was moving behind him.
All this happened in a very short period of a second, Zhou Yi caught up with the football, and then he quickly passed the football diagonally with his left foot!
Before Hovedes tackled himself, he slid the ball diagonally through the gap between Fuchs and Hovedes!
He didn't pass it directly to Aubameyang, because he saw that Yang Muge had already chased back, but Royce's side was more empty and completely unmarked!
Sure enough, at the moment of Zhou Yi's pass, Royce accelerated violently, shook off Fuchs, and received the football!
Yang Muge originally wanted to save Aubameyang, but now when I look at it, Reus got the ball in the penalty area and faced goalkeeper Hildbran directly, which is even more dangerous!
So he picked up the momentum of the sprint and accelerated towards Reuss, intending to block Reuss' shot.
That's what makes Aubameyang completely empty......
Royce was not greedy, although he could shoot on his own, but he still rushed to the middle before Yang Muge shoveled it.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang changed his course as soon as Reus had the ball, pulling sideways towards the back of goal.
This also creates space for Reuss' passes.
Goalkeeper Hieldebrand came out to intercept Reus's cross, but he was a little slower, the ball passed him one step ahead of him, and Aubameyang fired a shovel shot behind him!
The ball rolls into the net.
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang——!!! Oobameyang, oh oh,
Dortmund used a team play up front to tear apart Schalke 04's defence, and they took the lead in the opening fourteen minutes!' Duan Xin also shouted. "Zhou Yi instigated this goal! He first used his running position to shake off Neustadt who was following him, and then sent a delicate through ball to create a chance for Reus! Although it was not a direct assist, this kick can already show us the Zhou Yi before the injury! This is really good!"
He was not ecstatic about Dortmund's lead, what made him so excited was Zhou Yi's performance, he was injured for more than a month, and just returned to the pitch to send such a straight kick, what could be more indicative of his full recovery?
After the goal, Aubameyang ran to the corner flag area to find Reus, and the two hugged and celebrated just where the Dortmund fans had thrown flares down. At the same time, they turned around and waved to Zhou Yi and motioned for him to come up.
Both of them knew exactly how that attack had just been made.
Zhou Yi's passing is the ability to penetrate the opponent's direction!
Zhou Yi and Mark ran to Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang together, and they celebrated together under the stands where Dortmund fans gathered.
Behind them is the lost Schalke 04 player.
Hovedes was still sitting on the ground - he had just let go of the tackle, but he still couldn't stop Zhou Yi's pass.
Yang Muge went all the way back to the front of the door from the back position, but to no avail.
Neustadt stood outside the forbidden area, watching all this in a daze-he actually let Zhou Yi slip away from under his nose!

"Good ball, good ball!" Zhou Jianliang slapped his thigh hard in front of the TV and shouted excitedly. This upscale apartment has a family on the first floor, and the upstairs and downstairs are well soundproofed, so he can yell in front of the TV without worrying about noisy neighbors. Besides, it's afternoon, and no one is going to sleep......
"It's not your son's assist, why are you so happy?" Li Cuiyun glanced at him.
"You don't understand! Even if it wasn't for his son's assist, but if it wasn't for his son's kick, they wouldn't have scored the ball at all!" Zhou Jianliang said triumphantly. "If you think about Dortmund before, how could there be such a simple and clear attacking routine? After my son came on the field, the situation was different! One kick! It only takes one kick to instigate a goal! This is the role of the core!"
"Yes, yes, you know, you know......" Li Cuiyun knows that when it comes to football, her husband is a madman, and it is best not to fight with him at this time. And she herself is also happy for Zhou Yi's performance after his comeback.

"That's why Dortmund can't do without Zhou Yi, why in the more than a month when Zhou Yi was injured, Dortmund's results were up and down, which made people feel very insecure......" Duan Xin was still chattering about the importance of Zhou Yi, but the Chinese fans in front of the TV loved to listen to it, and no one thought he was verbose. "With Zhou Yi, Dortmund has a brain and knows how to play clearly. Every player went back to the rhythm they were familiar with, which wasn't possible before. Look at this ball......"
The TV was playing slow motion of the goal just now, and the panoramic angle was changed, so that each player's movement could be seen a little more clearly.
Reuss cut forward at high speed near the centre circle, and after receiving a pass from Grosskreutz, he passed the ball to Zhou Yi and then continued to cut forward. Why can he be so resolute? Because he knew that there was a vacancy in front of him, and Zhou Yi would definitely be able to see this vacancy and be able to pass the football to him, so he ran away and ran forward without hesitation. Sure enough, Zhou Yi's pass came!"
When he said this, Duan Xin's tone could not hide his smugness, which was exactly the same as Zhou Jianliang's tone when he talked about his son. As a Chinese commentator, of course, I will be proud and proud of the wonderful performance of the Chinese players.

"Before the game, everyone was speculating whether Zhou Yi would play in this game, and even if he appeared in the starting list, some people were worried that Zhou Yi's appearance was only symbolic than practical...... Now it seems that Zhou Yi used that pass to reveal the answer for us - his physical condition may not be at its best, but his brain is 100% ready!" Marcel Leif also praised Zhou Yi's performance.
Although this ball is Aubameyang passed by Reus, the most rare part of the work is done by Zhou Yi.
He has a lot of options when he gets the ball in the middle of the box and how to make the best choice is a test of a player's ability. He can shoot on his own, so Hovedes will rush up to stop Zhou Yi. He can pass the ball as well, so there are a lot of ways to pass the ball, he can pass to Reus, but he can also pass to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and even to Mark on the other side, but not every passing option can lead to a goal.
Judging from the results, Zhou Yi undoubtedly made the most correct choice.
"Look at Klopp's smiling face, it's really happy, of course, because Zhou Yi is back!" Marcel Leif laughed.
Klopp and his assistant are seen on TV footage laughing brightly.
