Chapter 130: The Red-Clothed Gertze
When Borussia Dortmund scored the goal of Bayern Munich, it was not only the Bayern Munich players who were surprised, but also the commentators. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They thought that Dortmund's attack, as in the first half, was nothing more than a death throes.
Unexpectedly, the trapped beast was still fighting, and even let Dortmund, the trapped beast, really bite Bayern Munich hard!
They equalised!
The TV broadcast is replaying the goal just now.
What everyone is most concerned about is how Zhou Yi passed the football to the feet of Royce under a tight defense.
He was forced by Martinez to turn around and protect the ball with his back to the attack.
At this time, everyone, like Martinez, Boateng and others, felt that Dortmund's attack was going to slow down for a while.
But just when they were thinking so, the football was suddenly passed from Zhou Yi's feet to Royce.
Because it was so sudden, there was no warning beforehand.
Ordinary people will look up to observe when passing the ball, but Zhou Yi has been competing with Martinez all the time, and basically has not looked up, how does he know that after the heel knocks the football out, there will be his teammates there?
The slow-motion replay did not answer everyone's questions, but made everyone feel even more incredible.
Because Zhou Yi really didn't observe it in slow motion, but he passed the football so firmly. If he wasn't absolutely sure, his kick would be no different from an irresponsible random pass, and he would simply give the ball to others.
But Zhou Yi really passed the football to Royce's feet, and Royce really ran to the empty field to receive the ball.
"Zhou Yi's pass...... It's whimsical! And it worked! No one knows if he was blindsided or on purpose...... It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Dortmund equalised because of his assist!"
The television broadcast took time out to give Guardiola a close-up, in which Guardiola was surprised to be equalised by Borussia Dortmund.
But in fact, it was not Reuss's goal that made him show an incredible expression, but Zhou Yi's pass.
That ball pass was quite difficult.
Pep Guardiola used to be the manager of Barcelona, and Barcelona has no shortage of passing masters, whether it is Xavi or Iniesta, the passing is very good.
So Pep Guardiola will naturally compare the players he has worked with with Zhou Yi, and then find that Zhou Yi's passing ability has even surpassed Xavi and Iniesta...... You must know that Zhou Yi is only twenty-two years old this year, and he already has such strength and achievements at such a young age, as long as he is not troubled by injuries in the future, it is simply limitless......
When Zhou Yi came to Barcelona to participate in the youth team competition, and was also valued by La Masia, Guardiola only learned about it later. What if he had known about this in the first place? Unless Guardiola knew about Zhou Yi's achievements in the future, I am afraid that nothing would have changed.
A 16-year-old boy who has never received professional football training at all wants to guarantee the club a chance to play in the first team in the future...... It's a bit too far ahead. Even Pep Guardiola can't agree to this condition, Messi has never enjoyed such treatment!
Besides, even if he is allowed to the first team, how can he compete with Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets? Later, Barcelona became interested in Zhou Yi because Xavi was old and wanted to find a successor for Xavi.
However, until Pep Guardiola left Barcelona, Xavi had not found a suitable successor, and could only continue to shine.
Then, Guardiola came to Bayern Munich and once again became an opponent with Zhou Yi.

Reus's goal gave Dortmund an equaliser and boosted the morale of Dortmund's players.
In the first half, they besieged Bayern Munich for ten minutes without scoring, which made many players doubt the effectiveness of this tactic.
And in the second half, with the same tactics, they scored and the players' confidence in the tactics came back immediately.
So when the game started again, the Dortmund players continued to launch a fierce attack on the Bayern Munich goal.
With the home fans cheering on, their offensive really threatened the Bayern Munich goal.
Faced with such a dire situation, Guardiola intends to make adjustments.
He asked assistant coach Herman Grande to hand over Götze.
Gotze knew he was going to play, and he looked at Pep Guardiola, expecting his idol to have a chat with him and ask him something. But Pep Guardiola didn't do that, standing on the sidelines, with his back to Gotze, watching the situation closely.
The specific tactical arrangement was handed over to "Tiger" Hermann Grande.
The white-haired veteran coach Herman saw that Gotze's eyes were focused on Pep Guardiola, so he coughed and reminded Gotze to come to his senses.
Hearing his cough, Götze withdrew his gaze.
Herman took the tactics board and said to him, "I know this game means something different to you, Mario. But you still have to concentrate on the game after you get on the field, you have a lot of work to do......"

When Herman finished his tactical arrangements, he took Gotze to the sidelines and put him on as a substitute.
Seeing Gotze standing next to the fourth official, everyone realized that he was going to play.
So there was a huge boo over Wester** Stadium. It made the players of both sides who were fighting on the pitch stagnant.
Zhou Yi passed the football out, then turned his head to look at the sidelines, and he saw Gotze standing there, wearing the red shirt of Bayern Munich.
"The red jersey of Gotze is really a little uncomfortable......" Duan Xin sighed.
In the past, when commenting on Dortmund's games, Götze always wore a yellow and black jersey, and Dortmund did not have a red color scheme whether it was home or away, or the second away shirt. So today's Götze is indeed a bit unfamiliar.
"The boos are so loud, I can barely hear myself!" Marcel Leif said, raising his voice. "This is the 'gift' that Dortmund fans have carefully prepared for Götze! The former Dortmund hero, now returning to the West** Stadium, has become Judas in the eyes of Dortmund fans, which is really embarrassing...... I wonder what kind of performance Götze can come off the bench in such an unfriendly environment?"
When there was a dead ball on the pitch, the fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines.
Gotze was about to come on and he was replaced by another former Borussia Dortmund player, centre-forward Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski missed a couple of chances in this game, and his performance was not too good, and it is not known if it was influenced by the unfriendly atmosphere......
Lewandowski could also be heard booing him when he picked up the ball on the pitch. Although when he left Dortmund this summer, it was even more unreasonable for Dortmund FC. But die-hard fans are amazing creatures, they often don't care about right and wrong, and they care more about never letting the interests of the club they support hurt. Lewandowski's approach angered them.
Lewandowski thought he should be unpopular at Westfield, but when he was replaced by Gotze, he realized how wrong he was in his previous thinking......
The overwhelming, wave-like boos came at them, such terrible boos that he had never felt in all the time he had been playing.
Compared to the boos that Gotze experienced, his own boos suddenly seemed to tickle him.
When he used to play for Borussia Dortmund, he was proud and excited about the frenzy of the Dortmund fans and the support they had for them. But now, after the change of status, the frenzy of the Dortmund fans has become a headache for them......
※※※
Götze ran onto the pitch with a huge boo, and he didn't look changed and was not affected by the boos.
But who knows if he's trying to keep his composure?
Those neutrals looked at Götze with pity, and they took it for granted that anyone who played in such an environment would be a stressful affair, and that it would be pitiful and worthy of sympathy.
They thought Götze was just an ordinary transfer, like a company employee had jumped ship. He made his choice and should not be treated like this.
There are many people online who criticize Dortmund fans for being too narrow-minded, and when they booed Gotze, they completely forgot that they had also cheered for Gotze in the first place. Their self-contradictory approach is nothing short of ironic.
Unlike those fans who lament the fate of Gotze, professional commentators are now more concerned about replacing Lewandowski, Bayern Munich after replacing Gotze, there is no longer a real center forward, how can they break Dortmund's goal?
Could it be that Pep Guardiola is going to play a strikerless tactic at Bayern Munich?
This is really Pep Guardiola's style......
