Chapter 161: New Discoveries
"Mario Gotze, beautiful, Borussia Dortmund U19 take the lead, they take the lead in this final!" shouted Leif. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He rarely plays for the youth team, but he knows a little bit about Gotze, a kid who is now the talent that the whole of Germany is watching.
Leif has followed Götze's performance at last summer's Under-17 European Championships, and compared to Gotze's back then, Mario is now more mature and growing rapidly.
'It's a bit of a surprise that Dortmund took the lead so quickly. After all, in the field of youth training, Freiburg's level is very high, and Streich is also a coach who is good at youth training. Freiburg was also the Under-19 national winner last season. Compared to last season, Streich's training of the team is also more perfect. But against Borussia Dortmund, they conceded the goal in the opening 12 minutes...... "Leif said. "Obviously, it's not just Freiburg that has made progress. Borussia Dortmund's performance this season can also be described as a rebirth. ”
Leif set his sights on Zhou Yi, the goal was scored by Götze, but it was assisted by Zhou Yi.
If it's just a through ball, it's just a good ball.
It doesn't get the attention of Leif, an experienced commentator.
He remembers Dortmund's series of successive passes before Götze scored.
Starting from Zhou Yi, the ball was passed directly to Gotze, and then Gotze passed directly to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi passed to No. 25 Mark, and Mark passed back to him, and then Zhou Yi faced the football and passed the ball directly without stopping the ball again.
The ball flew in the direction where Götze was.
Do you see it?
In this attack that led to Dortmund's goal, Zhou Yi was the one who touched the ball the most, and the football was always passed to his feet.
He is at the heart of the Borussia Dortmund Under-19 team.
Leif already knew this when he was preparing for the game.
At that time, he was quite surprised, why was the core of Dortmund's U19 not Gotze, but a little-known Chinese child?
Now he understands a little bit.
Freiburg's main goalkeeper, Oliver Baumann, is considered to be a mature and calm goalkeeper who does not match his age.
But now Leif believes that Zhou Yicai has a maturity and calmness that does not match his age.
Generally speaking, a midfield playmaker will inevitably be a little flustered when faced with someone who is being closely marked against him, especially young people. They are significantly less resilient to pressure than their first-team players, which also has to do with the fact that they have experienced fewer complex scenes.
And in the ten minutes of this game, Leif did not see a trace of greenness from Zhou Yi.
Whether it was in the attack that led to the goal, or in the stalemate phase of the ten minutes before that, Zhou Yi did not show that panicked performance.
In the face of Freiburg's high pressing, he seemed to be at ease. He's very fast on the ball, and he doesn't have the process of receiving the ball and then watching it and passing it out.
Instead, after receiving the ball, you can send the football out right away, without delaying at all.
So although Freiburg arranged a person for Zhou Yi to keep an eye on him, the effect was not very good.
So why can Zhou Yi do it?
Through observation, Leif also found that Zhou Yi would often turn his head around during the game, which reminded Leif of Xavi, the current core of Barcelona's midfield.
What he didn't know was that this was a young man like Zhou Yi deliberately imitating an idol, or was he himself like this......
But it's not too important.
What interests Leif is that he originally thought that Dortmund's youth team would only have a Mario Gotze, but he didn't expect to comment on such a game, but he found a little talent.
Mario Gotze's goal came from an assist from Borussia Dortmund midfielder Zhou Yi of No.23, a young Chinese man...... It's really rare to have a Chinese player in the academy of a German club, and he can play the main and core!"

Jurgen Klopp sat in front of the TV and laughed when he heard Marcel Leif say this about Zhou Yi.
Although he only watched the game for more than ten minutes, Zhou Yi already had an assist.
It seems that Ricken is right about what he said, after having Zhou Yi, Gotze's performance is much better.
When there was no Zhou Yi before, Gotze had to take on too many tasks, which would distract him and affect his form and performance.
Klopmore rubbed his chin and began to think about things further afield......

Streich stood on the sidelines, staring blankly into the court.
He didn't expect that it should have been Dortmund's nemesis's high-position pressing tactics, but it was broken so easily by the other party......
Freiburg only lasted twelve minutes before conceding the goal!
The other party's number 23, their core, is even more powerful than they imagined!
The continuous transmission between him and Götze, as well as the number twenty-five, penetrated Freiburg's "cage" with great speed.
Originally, he thought that Dortmund would use a direct long pass from the back to find Kincek to deal with his high pressing, so he asked the players to create an offside position, second, the goalkeeper to attack as soon as possible to expand the range of control, and third, to strengthen the pressing in the front court and interfere with Dortmund's central defender Russell Sobiech.
Although Sobiech is a central defender, he has a solid style of play on the pitch and has a high pass success rate, so if Dortmund are to play a long ball, the point of play will almost certainly be Sobiech.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi, who he thought would be easy to be targeted, performed extremely well.
The continuous passing cooperation between the three of them caught themselves off guard.
However, Streich was not knocked down by the conceded goal, and he frowned and began to think about what to do.

"It's twelve and fifteen......" Li Cuiyun glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, "It's been fifteen minutes since the game started, and we haven't figured out how to look at it yet...... Old Zhou, do you say that we can still take a look at our son before the end of the game?"
"Surely, surely......" Zhou Jianliang wiped the sweat from his forehead with paper and continued to squint his eyes to study on the screen.
Seeing her husband so focused, Li Cuiyun didn't say anything, but got up to leave, and after a while she turned back, holding Zhou Jianliang's teacup in her hand, which was already filled with water.
She didn't speak, just put the teacup where her husband was used to putting it, and then sat down again, quietly watching her husband busy.

After the restart, Streich did not change his tactics, and Freiburg continued to play their high press.
Because there was no need to adjust, Freiburg didn't play a shrink defense before, they needed to press out after conceding the ball, and they had to press it out.
The only adjustment is that Freiburg's midfield is more fierce, especially against Zhou Yi and Gotze.
Fouls on the field began to mount, and the referee continued to blow the whistle infrequently to stop the game.
There were also disgruntled boos from the Dortmund fans in the stands, who felt that the Freiburg players had played too savagely.
"Idiot, kicking people is not kicking football!!" Mrs. Wagner stood up in the stands and waved disapprovingly into the stadium as she complained about Zhou Yi, who had just been kicked down.
Cortana sat next to her, frowning and silent.
"Hey, Zhou Yi, how are you?" Mark ran over to care about Zhou Yi.
"I'm fine, Mark. Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to Mark, "Pull me up, thank you." ”
Mark pulled Zhou Yi up.
"Don't run back to care about me next time, Mark. After getting up, Zhou Yi said to Mark, "At this time, you should stay in front, what if we have a chance to play a quick attack?"
"Ah...... I'm anxious when I see you getting kicked...... Didn't bother to think about anything else. ”
Zhou Yi touched his head: "Winning is the most important thing, if we can lead them by two goals in the first half, we will win." Don't you see that they are pushing more and more fiercely now, but the space behind them is also getting bigger and bigger? They are so foul, maybe it's still our chance. ”
"I see, Zhou Yi. Mark nodded, but he didn't forget to ask again, "Are you really okay?"
"Nonsense. Zhou Yi pushed him away, "Go up!"

The game continued to start without any change from Freiburg's high pressing tactics and ferocious defense against Zhou.
It wasn't long before Götze was knocked to the ground by them this time.
Götze, who fell to the ground, looked in pain, rolled a few times, and covered his calf with his hand.
The referee's whistle also sounded, and the Freiburg player was again awarded a foul.
Boos from the Dortmund fans sounded again in the stands, and the boos of more than 2,000 people still sounded quite stressful......
Borussia Dortmund's U19 players are complaining to the referee, signaling that the Freiburg players have committed too many fouls during this time, should the referee give a card?
The Freiburg players were saying that Götze was a fake.
"I'm a reasonable collision, but he's covering his calves!" Sorge was also aggrieved, or rather aggrieved.
Gotze was lying on the ground, and the football was not far from him.
Zhou Yi stepped forward, glanced at Ge Ce who was still rubbing his calves, bent down to pick up the football, and put it down.
On the other side of him, players from both sides were arguing around the referee about whether it was a foul that should have been given a card, or an exaggerated fake fall by Gotze.
Then Zhou Yi got up, took a step back, stepped forward again, and kicked towards the football!
Boom!
The football was kicked in front by him!
And listening to Zhou Yi's words, Mark, who didn't come back to care about Gotze, saw that the ball was actually coming towards him, and he suddenly understood in his mind that this was his chance!
He immediately turned and ran forward!
"Good game!Mark!!!!" exclaimed Mrs. Wagner, and the rest of the Dortmund fans around her shouted loudly.
Their shouts were heard by the referee, who noticed that the football had been kicked out.
He didn't blow the whistle to stop the game and get the football back to where it was, but ran out of the encirclement and ran with it.
This action, as long as a fan understands - this is a tacit approval of Zhou Yi's kick!
"Free kick quick!" shouted Leif excitedly.
