Chapter 151: The tacit understanding lasts forever
As the game entered the 80th minute, the score remained unchanged as Shakhtar Donetsk led Dortmund 2-1 at their home stadium. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the last ten minutes, Shakhtar Donetsk have given up on attacking and are all in the hope of holding on to that point advantage in the final ten minutes.
Dortmund was faced with a more complicated situation.
Another five minutes passed, and in those five minutes, Dortmund added four shots on goal, but the score was still not rewritten.
In the 86th minute, Dortmund again organized an attack, hit in front of the Shakhtar Donetsk penalty area, and then fell into the mud again.
Shakhtar Donetsk defended tightly and barely gave Borussia Dortmund any gaps.
Dortmund could only pass the football sideways, and Shakhtar Donetsk could not come up to grab it, they were afraid that Zhou Yi would seize the opportunity to send a fatal pass after grabbing.
For Zhou Yi, they are still very jealous.
So even if Zhou Yi kept taking the ball outside the penalty area, no one came up to grab him. They think that as long as there are no holes in their defense, even if Zhou Yi is allowed to take the ball, he can't do anything.
This is the right thing to do, especially if the venue is bad. Even if Zhou Yi or other Dortmund players want to break through with the ball and only be in the air, it will be difficult to achieve it on such a bad field. In a situation where you can only pass the ball to organize the attack, there are very few paths to attack, which will also make it easier for the defender to defend.
There is one exception.
There are no absolutes in anything.
There are always loopholes in tight defenses, and it is impossible to really splash water without entering.
Zhou Yi's head turned around, like a radar antenna, taking in the situation around him, and then formed a bird's-eye view in his mind.
On the bird's-eye view, the distribution of players on both sides is clear, and Zhou Yi carefully searched in this bird's-eye view, looking for a channel where opportunities can be formed.
He searched and searched, and he really let him find one!
A very hidden pathway, but it does exist. As long as it can be exploited, it can be a threat.
But the problem is that if he sees it, it doesn't work if no one else sees it, because if no one plugs in and runs to the right place, even if he passes the football, it's useless. No one can receive the ball, so how can you threaten the opponent's goal?
He needs someone to cooperate with him, but time does not allow him to inform others, after all, the situation on the court is changing rapidly, and if there is a slight delay, this access may be gone.
Besides, if the signal is too obvious, it will only increase the vigilance of the other party.
So Zhou Yi can only hope that someone in his team will also see this channel. He can't wait for a sure pass before passing, he's going to pass the ball right now and hope someone gets in the space to catch the ball.
It's like a door that's closing, and a little later, the door will be completely closed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi raised his arm to ask for the ball from Gotze.
Gotze was taking the ball on the side, and when he saw Zhou Yi raising his hand to ask, he hurriedly passed the football over.
In order to avoid affecting the trajectory of the football rolling on the muddy field, Gotze kicked the football up, and the football flew low and flew towards Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi ran up to the football, but did not stop the ball, but directly stretched out his right foot and rubbed the flying football into the penalty area with the outside instep of his right foot.
The football drew an arc and changed direction to fly to the penalty area!
This kick was somewhat unexpected by the players of Shakhtar Donetsk, none of them expected that Zhou Yi would pass the ball directly without stopping the ball, but rubbed such an arc with the outside instep!
All the Shakhtar Donetsk players were caught off guard as the ball flew over their heads and into the far corner behind them......
Someone looked back and saw that the football did not fly directly towards the goal, but turned around in the air.
Flying almost parallel to the goal, he flew behind the defensive line, where a yellow-black figure struck out like lightning!
※※※
"Mark!" to Marcel Leif's exclamations, Mark Wagner leaps high in the middle of the sprint and makes a powerful dash to the top of the football!
The ball was hit by a solid forehead and flew into the far corner of the goal!
The goalkeeper of Shakhtar Donetsk, Pyatov, who had just turned and pounced, was powerless in the face of this football that was pushing behind him, and he could not turn around and pounce again, which would be against the laws of physics.
Inertia froze him in place, and he could only turn his head and watch the ball fly into the goal......
"Ahh "Beautiful, beautiful, Mark Wagner, he equalised, two away goals, Dortmund can go back to Germany with this result!"
"Mark Wagner!!" He Ping also shouted. "The decisive goal! He equalized Bife for Borussia Dortmund!"
※※※
After the goal, Mark landed and ran to Zhou Yi to celebrate the goal, but before he could run to Zhou Yi, he was stopped by Lewandowski and hugged him, and then overturned to the ground.
Next, Reus pressed up, Zhou Yi ran over and stacked on Royce's body, Gotze jumped up again, and more Dortmund players flocked to him, completely crushing Mark in the mud......
The Borussia Dortmund players celebrated wildly, but the Shakhtar Donetsk players were a little unacceptable - they were about to win the game, and Mark scored in the 87th minute of the game...... Not only was the score equalised, but Dortmund scored two away goals!
This is simply the second worst result after a home loss.
Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp, who was on the sidelines, smiled when he saw the result, and he made no secret of his joy in his heart, and came to a slippery kneeling on the slippery field.
※※※
The frantic celebrations of the whole Dortmund team ended with the intervention of the referee, and everyone returned to their positions, after all, the game was not over.
Zhou Yi and Mark ran back to the half of Dortmund side by side, and Zhou Yi asked Mark: "How did you come up with the ball just now?"
"I think that's going to be a big deal for you, and you're probably going to pass the ball, so I'm going to try to go up......," Mark explained.
Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder happily, sure enough, Mark knew him best, although Mark hadn't played for a long time, but this tacit understanding between them has always been there.
※※※
It was a pleasure to equalise and for Borussia Dortmund they could be satisfied.
Squeezing out Lao Guo Qunli, Sun Pan also had to admit that Dortmund was hard, and he could even equalize the score in such a difficult situation.
"Zhou Yi's pass is really beautiful," Yang Muge said with emotion, he was really convinced of Zhou Yi'......s ideas and vision. Many people can't even think of passing, but Zhou Yi can pass such an imaginative and impossible ball.
"Maybe it's blind?" Sun Pan poured cold water.
"It's okay to be able to get out!" Guo Nu said.
He Ying said: "I think that Mark's running position is better, he seems to know exactly how Zhou Yi will pass." It's a great way to move. ”
is also a striker, and is also a striker who is good at running without the ball, He Ying naturally pays more attention to Mark.
"Mark used to be a very good striker, and if he hadn't been injured, he probably wouldn't have had Lewandowski any problems. Yang Muge said that as Dortmund's derby opponent, Yang Muge knows Dortmund players very well. Coupled with the fact that Mark has also performed well in the Ruhr derby, the impression is naturally deeper.
"That's a shame......"
Injury is the enemy of all professional players, and all players don't want injuries to find themselves, so when Yang Muge said this, everyone sighed.
The TV broadcast gave Mark a close-up, although the ball was beautiful by Zhou Yichuan, but it was Mark who scored the goal after all, so Mark was the focus of everyone's attention.
Marcel Leif said: "Marc has been in good form since returning from injury, but Borussia Dortmund have so many attackers up front that Mark can only be used as a substitute. However, despite being a substitute, Mark has been very good, and I think that's a good thing for Klopp, because Dortmund have been using a rotation strategy to deal with the two-line play this season, and he needs more depth on the bench, and Mark's performance has made him more confident in rotation. ”

With three minutes left in regulation time and about six or seven minutes of stoppage time, is that enough time for both sides to score another goal?
It was an acceptable result for Borussia Dortmund, but not so much for Shakhtar Donetsk.
So after the restart, Shakhtar Donetsk launched a fierce attack on the Dortmund goal, hoping to take the lead again in the final moments of the game.
In the face of Shakhtar Donetsk's onslaught, Dortmund contracted to play defense, passed the ball forward when they had the opportunity, and destroyed the opponent's attack with a big foot if they didn't have the opportunity.
The game could have ended in this case.
However, in the 92nd minute, something unexpected happened on the pitch - Dortmund won the ball and launched a quick counter-attack. Zhou Yi made a long pass to find Mark who stayed in front. Because Mark was the last to play, his physical fitness was relatively better, so when he counterattacked, he was the only one at the front.
When Mark saw the ball coming, he sped up and ran forward to chase it.
But just as Mark was chasing the ball, he suddenly stopped and watched as the football in front of him was snatched away by Shakhtar Donetsk defenders.
"Hey, what's going on?" Marcel Leif was surprised, not understanding why Mark had stopped.
But then he knew why......
Mark, who stopped, covered the muscles behind his right thigh with his hand, his expression a little pained. Then he simply sat down, rubbing the muscles on the back of his thighs with his hands.
"Looks like there's something wrong with Mark's muscles...... Marcel Leif didn't even know what to say about this .......
Zhou Yi saw that Mark was in a situation, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal for the players of the Shakhtar Donetsk team to kick the football out of bounds.
But the Shakhtar Donetsk team will not miss the opportunity to continue the siege of Dortmund, ignoring Zhou Yi's gestures, and only treating Zhou Yi, who is waving his arms, as a ball of air, to continue to attack.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi didn't continue to signal, rushed forward, and directly hugged the Donetsk Shakhtar players with the ball with both hands, preventing the opponent from continuing to dribble the ball.
It was a clear foul and the referee finally blew the whistle and stopped playing.
Now Mark can get the team doctor to come on for treatment.
And Zhou Yi also received a yellow card because of this deliberate foul.
However, Zhou Yi didn't care, he threw down the referee who showed him a yellow card, and the very dissatisfied Shakhtar Donetsk players, as well as teammates who defended him, ran straight to Mark in front.
"How?" he asked, a little anxiously.
"The muscle is strained...... Mark heard Zhou Yi's voice, turned back to Zhou Yi and said, he still had a smile on his face, but this smile seemed a little bitter to Zhou Yi.
"!" Zhou Yi scolded in his native language. (To be continued.) )
