Chapter 339: Patient Sniper

The televised broadcast also took a special pause to replay the goal, and at the moment of Bale's pass, Cristiano Ronaldo was not offside.

Of course it wasn't offside and there was nothing wrong with that goal.

The game then resumed, and Real Madrid took advantage of their momentum of scoring two goals in a row to continue to attack the Dortmund goal.

Soon it was the same routine again, but this time Bale switched to the left, used his speed to break through to the edge of the box, and then fired a left-footed cross that Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high behind the goal and headed home!

When the ball flew towards the goal, it scared the Dortmund fans out of the box, because from a broadcast point of view, it was like a goal.

But in reality, Cristiano Ronaldo's header flew off the line just outside the back post......

"Ronaldo's header ——! a pity!

"Real Madrid's offensive is very fierce, if it goes on like this, Dortmund will be finished......"

"If Real Madrid scores one more goal, the game will be over......"

"The reason why a spell is a spell must make sense. Why didn't any of the defending champions succeed? Post-mortem analysis certainly finds reasons and reasons for this, but why did they happen to the defending champions and not to the challengers?" "Of course, we can figure out some of the reasons why it sounds scientific, but it's actually because it's a 'curse'!"

※※※

Borussia Dortmund didn't take as much of a blow when they conceded the first goal.

Conceding goals in a row is a heavy morale blow for any team.

From leading to lagging behind, many Dortmund players are unstable and absent-minded.

This can be seen from Cristiano Ronaldo's header that almost went in just now.

Dortmund's backline has fallen apart under the onslaught of Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, and the only explanation for not conceding further is Real Madrid's bad luck.

If this situation is allowed to develop, Dortmund will definitely collapse. When the time comes, it's really all over.

Zhou Yi is very clear about this.

But he didn't give up, he's watching the game and thinking about what to do.

Real Madrid, who had taken a one-goal lead, were in high spirits and had no intention of stopping there.

They want to crush Dortmund completely, as their supporters hope.

On the one hand, this will make Real Madrid's victory more secure. On the other hand, Zhou Yi guessed that it should be related to Real Madrid's four encounters with Dortmund last season, but only won one, and Real Madrid wants revenge. No matter how much they deny it, that deep emotion doesn't really exist because of their denial.

Real Madrid's attack is fierce, and in the eyes of Dortmund supporters and professional commentators, this is a dangerous and unfavorable situation for Dortmund.

But in Zhou Yi's eyes, it is the opposite, which means that Dortmund has an opportunity.

Real Madrid will play fast attack, and so will Borussia Dortmund!

Real Madrid have the likes of Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema up front, while Borussia Dortmund also have the likes of Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Yan Min.

If Real Madrid retreats immediately after taking the lead and holds firm, Zhou Yi really doesn't have a good chance.

Zhou Yi constantly looks at his teammates, observes them, understands their game situation, observes and analyzes their state, and selects suitable candidates to fight back.

He quickly locked his eyes on Yan Min, in fact, there was nothing to choose, Yan Min would almost always be the first person Zhou Yi would think of at such a time. Because of his personality traits, he can always maintain a strong fighting spirit no matter what difficulties he faces.

It is this kind of strong fighting spirit that allows him to play better than others in the face of difficulties.

Although the candidate has been chosen, Zhou Yi is not in a hurry to pass the football forward.

He is still waiting, waiting for a better opportunity.

He was like Vasily, a sniper lying in the ruins, with a gun already aimed at the German soldiers, but he was not in a hurry to pull the trigger, but waited patiently.

What are you waiting for?

Waiting for the moment when the explosion sounds, you can cover up the gunfire and not expose yourself.

Zhou Yi is also waiting, waiting for a more suitable opportunity. If you pass the football casually, you will not only waste the opportunity, but also cause alarm on the part of Real Madrid.

Even when the ball looked like it had a chance to counter-attack, he held back and chose to cross the ball horizontally rather than with a straight kick.

This kind of waiting is actually risky, because it is very likely that Real Madrid will score again before a good chance arises, so even if there is a chance in the future, I am afraid that there is no point.

But Zhou Yi has no choice, he must now trust his teammates, and at the same time he himself has to contribute to the defense.

Although he does not have an advantage in physical strength, he is not as good as his teammates who specialize in defense. But he has his own advantages in defense.

That is, his judgment of the situation is more accurate than others, and naturally there is a high probability of advance or the opponent's passing route......

※※※

In the 66th minute of the game, Real Madrid launched an attack in front.

Luka Modric takes the ball.

Sven Bender pressed on, but Modric didn't pass the ball right away.

Because there is no good connection point - this Zhou Yi has already seen, when Modric gets the ball, he simulates in his mind what he would do if he got the ball himself.

He looked at Modric as he adjusted his position.

Modric, who was posted by Sven Bender, has three options, one is to pass back, which is the safest, but Real Madrid's attack has to be reorganized.

The second is a cross to Coentrão on the left. Why on the left and not on the right? Because Modric has been forced to face to the left by Sven Bender, and behind him on the right, there is also a Sven Bender, who does not know the situation and does not dare to pass the football rashly.

The third option is to force the ball forward. It seems that this is the worst option, but Zhou Yi feels that Modric is very likely to do so, because it is not without chance.

He jumps and faces to the left, but also sideways to the attack, and he can pass the ball as long as there is a suitable contact point......

Zhou Yi shook his head over there, and he saw Benzema.

Benzema withdrew from the front line, apparently noticing Modric's troubles and ready to pick him up.

Luka Modric can not pass the football to him, he can pass it in the direction that is right for him, where there is Coentrão. But Coentrão is near the touchline, a little far away from him, and there is also Dortmund player Reus on that line, if the pass is interfered with by Sven Bender, the power and accuracy of the pass are affected, then once such a ball is broken by Dortmund, it will cause a direct counterattack.

What if he passes the football to Benzema?

Benzema is of course holding the ball with his back, but Modric can immediately run without the ball to get rid of Sven Bender's defense, and then pull away to pick up Benzema, Benzema passes the football to him, and then he can cut the empty run, and Real Madrid's wave of attacks can continue without dying halfway.

In Zhou Yi's mind, this is how he planned for Modric.

If he were Luka Modric, he would probably be willing to take that risk, and the risk of passing the ball forward is not impossible, but the benefit is also the greatest of the three options.

If you handle it well, you can quickly threaten the Dortmund goal.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi slowly adjusted his position again, he is now in the blind spot of Modric's observation, behind Modric's diagonal back, before him and Modric, there is still a Sven Bender. Modric couldn't see himself even if he turned his head to observe.

Next, all he had to do was wait.

Wait for Modric to pass the ball as he wishes.

Under pressure from Sven Bender, Modric finally couldn't bear it and wanted to pass the ball.

As Zhou Yi predicted, he flicked a shot towards Coentrão and passed the football to Benzema!

Just when Modric was about to pass a shot to Coentrão, Zhou Yi moved, he didn't care if it was a feint or not, he only knew that if he wanted to break the ball successfully, then he had to start it now, and he couldn't catch it if it was too late!

On the way to roll the football against the turf towards Benzema, Zhou Yi stretched out his foot and intercepted the football from Modric.

"Zhou Yi successfully broke the ball!"

Zhou Yi, who successfully broke the ball, did not hesitate, and after adjusting it, he directly sent a long pass on the spot!

The patient sniper finally pulled the trigger and shot that bullet!

The ball flew straight to the left side of the pitch.

There, Yan Min turned around and ran forward after seeing Zhou Yi break the ball - he didn't have the ability to predict the future, he didn't know if Zhou Yi would pass the football to him, he only knew that Zhou Yi took the ball, and he should immediately rush forward to prepare for Dortmund's counterattack, if Zhou Yi really passed the football over, he would be able to catch up and receive the ball. If he sees Zhou Yi pass the football to himself and then start it, it will be over, Zhou Yi will not sacrifice the opportunity to fight back in order to take care of him, if he doesn't run in advance, he will definitely not be able to catch up!

Sure enough, Zhou Yi's ball pass is very powerful, the football flies far away, looking at the posture, it is not impossible to fly directly out of the sideline......

In fact, the football was indeed stopped by Yan Min on the sideline......

"Yan Min !!," He Ping shouted excitedly in the commentary seat. 'He's got the ball on the wing, it's half-time, it's Dortmund's chance to counter-attack!'

The Dortmund fans in the stands cheered. 10
