Chapter 295: Simple, Straightforward, and Deadly
Simeone was a little happy when he saw Dortmund still using the same tactics as he did off the pitch.
Atletico Madrid hope that they can compress Dortmund's passing space by shrinking the defense, causing them to make mistakes in passing. That's Atletico Madrid's chance to counter-attack.
In general, the idea is correct and makes sense.
But Dortmund has a "supercomputer".
Zhou Yi is responsible for processing this information, the football is at his feet, and he can always send the football to the place where it should go right away.
Although most of the time it was a transfer of the ball, Dortmund's attack became smooth in his transfer.
Soon, Dortmund hit Atletico Madrid's 30-meter zone.
At the same time, after a series of passes, the three lines of Atletico Madrid are also very compressed, and the distance between each line is very close.
Zhou Yi tilted his head left and right to observe, imprinting a bird's-eye view of this area in his mind.
He then analyzed many paths and possibilities, but not all of them were useful. Because if you just see it yourself, and your teammates don't see it, then no matter how good the path is, it is meaningless.
At this time, the football was picked up by Piszczek on the wing, and after taking the ball, he dribbled along the wing, but was soon blocked by the Atletico Madrid players.
Royce showed up to meet him in the flanks, and Piszczek passed the ball to Royce while continuing to move forward, as if to make a one-two with Royce.
But Reus didn't pass the ball back.
Zhou Yi ran towards Royce at this time, and at the same time motioned for Royce to pass the football to him.
Royce was facing away from the offensive direction when he received the ball, and it didn't make sense for him to take the ball, so he didn't hesitate to pass the ball over when he saw Zhou Yi coming up to respond.
Originally, Piszczek did want to make a wall collision with Reus, but when he stepped forward, Reuss did not pass the football to him, which made him hesitate a little and wanted to stop the sprint.
But at this time, he saw Zhou Yi.
When Zhou Yi was about to catch the ball, he didn't look at the football at all, but stared at himself.
Although he didn't speak, he didn't make any expressions, but it was just that look, and Piszczek understood.
Zhou Yi asked him to continue to step forward.
Although he didn't know what Zhou Yi was going to do, he still decided to listen to Zhou Yi.
So he kept his pace at his feet and rushed behind the Atletico Madrid backline.
At this time, the football was also passed to Zhou Yi's feet.
Zhou Yi still did not look at the football at his feet, but continued to stare at Piszczek, and when he was about to reach the last line of defense of Atletico Madrid, Zhou Yi pushed the football out of his left side with his right foot.
He had just passed the ball when he was knocked to the ground by Gabi who was following him.
Referee Eriksen put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow for a foul on Gabi.
But he took one look at the football and saw that it had passed through the first line of Atletico Madrid's defence and rolled towards Godin's location.
Running for the principle of attacking advantage, Eriksen did not blow the whistle and continued to stare at the football.
If the Atletico Madrid player breaks the ball, then he immediately blows the whistle and gives Dortmund a free-kick chance.
Godin's attention was all on the ball, not even noticing the space behind him and Felipe, or that Piszczek was already hurtling towards it.
He lifted his foot to kick the football out, only to find that the distance was not enough...... His feet were already raised, which caused his body to have a brief state of stiffness.
At this moment, Piszczek swept past him.
Felipe's attention was also on Zhou Yi at the beginning, and he only noticed that there was a other party when he knew that Piszczek ran in front of him.
But at this time, I noticed that it was actually too late......
He didn't even have time to make Lapiszczek's jersey.
He could only watch as Piszczek rushed behind him.
At the same time, football has rolled behind the entire Atletico Madrid back line!
Piszczek was behind them and received the ball!
"Piszczek! Good ball! Zhou Yi's wonderful pass! No offside!" He Ping shouted very excitedly.
"Zhou Yi's straight stopper! beautiful!!" Marcel Leif also roared excitedly.
The other Atletico Madrid players who had not yet reacted looked back and saw Dortmund player Piszczek receiving the ball behind them, so they took it for granted that Piszczek was offside, and their first reaction was not to defend back, but to raise their hands to signal to the referee.
But referee Eriksen really saw it, how could this goal be offside?
He ignored the complaints of the Atletico Madrid players.
The race continues!
Piszczek, who got the ball behind the Atletico Madrid back line, now has Courtois in front of him only as the goalkeeper.
Kurtur decisively abandoned the goal when Piszczek was in an offside position, and now the two are very, very close!
Dortmund have swept Liuhe in the league in recent seasons and won the league title for three consecutive seasons, and Piszczek, who plays at right wing-back, is also considered the best right wing-back in the Bundesliga.
But I'm afraid few people know that the "best right wing-back in the Bundesliga" was born as a striker.
Piszczek, who started as a striker, did not play very well, and later switched from the striker position to a winger. At Hertha Berlin he played in that position.
In 2010, Hertha Berlin was relegated and he moved to Borussia Dortmund.
At Dortmund, Klopp asked him to switch to full-back, but he didn't expect that in this position, he became a blockbuster, found his best and most suitable position, and became an important member of Dortmund's league and Champions League championships in recent years.
Although he didn't play as a striker or winger as a full-back, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to shoot and score.
After all, I have been training and cultivating as a striker since I was a child......
So in the face of the attacking Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Courtois, Piszczek did not round his leg and shoot vigorously, but quickly stretched out his foot and stabbed it!
Stabbed the ball towards the goal as fast as he could.
The soccer ball clings to the turf towards the goal.
Courtois saw the ball rolling over and quickly fell to the ground to make a save.
Because the two sides were so close, Courtois couldn't make a save with his hands even if he fell to the ground, so he could only spread his legs apart as he fell to the ground, hoping to block the football with his legs......
But Piszczek's stab was quicker than Courtois's reaction.
By the time he made this move, the ball had slipped under his crotch......
He fell to the ground, but he didn't touch the football at all!
The ball rolled from behind him into the goal!
"Oo!!oo
When the ball rolled into the goal, the decibels of their cheers reached their peak.
"Oh, oh, !!," Marcel Leif exclaimed. "3:0!3:0!3:0!! Dortmund rewrote the score to 3:0 in the opening fifteen minutes! This is probably something that many people would never have imagined before the game! Dortmund can complete a three-goal lead in the opening fifteen minutes! Doesn't it mean that this is a close game!?"
Marcel Leif was a little crazy with excitement, and he shouted such a sentence, which really fully revealed his surprise.
He Ping was also very excited: "Piszczek...... Good goal! Good goal! Good goal! Dortmund scored another goal! 3-0 lead over Atletico Madrid! This is really a start that no one could have imagined...... Borussia Dortmund's three-board axe completely stunned Atletico Madrid!"
※※※
Piszczek, who scored the goal, ran to the South Stand and celebrated with the Dortmund fans below.
His teammates rushed up from behind and surrounded him.
The Dortmund fans responded with the biggest cheers from the players.
The whole stadium was jubilant.
Jurgen Klopp in front of the dugout was even more excited, even more excited than the first ball.
He was so excited because he really didn't expect that the players on the pitch would be able to bring him a goal when he thought a two-goal lead was good enough to start thinking about slowing down!
Of course, a three-goal lead is better than a two-goal lead......
He is now even more glad that he didn't intervene directly and let the team make adjustments immediately. Instead, it gave the players on the field full autonomy, especially to Zhou Yi.
It was also under the leadership of Zhou Yi that Dortmund took advantage of a quick attack opportunity to break through Atletico Madrid's goal for the third time.
In the end, the through ball sent by Zhou Yi really made Klopp amazed, penetrating the two defenses of Atletico Madrid in one breath, crossing a distance of nearly ten meters, stunned that it was not touched by an Atletico Madrid player, and then accurately sent to the feet of Piszczek.
You know, it's still the ball that he passed when he was in Gabi's close marking. Some players may not be able to pass the ball like this when they are unmarked......
With Zhouyi, it really makes things a lot easier!
