After Zhou Yi went off the field, the Chinese team's midfield control also declined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Syria, eager to score an equaliser, began to fight back desperately, and in the 77th minute, took advantage of a mistake in the back of the Chinese team to pull a goal back.

After that, Gao Hongbo also adjusted the team's tactics and changed to shrink defense.

Fight to hold on to the one-goal lead.

Because in the first leg, the Chinese team lost to Syria 2:3 away. They have two away goals. As long as this game can be won 2-1, it will have an advantage in the group standings with away goals, ahead of Syria and top the group.

In the end, the Chinese team successfully held on.

After this game, the Chinese team and Syria were on the same score, but because of the away goal advantage, they ranked first in the group.

As long as the Chinese team can beat Vietnam away in the final round of the group stage, they will complete the goal set by Gao Hongbo to "qualify as the top of the group".

And Zhou Yi played a vital role in the process of accomplishing this goal.

His return to China this time can even be said to be "fighting fires". Without him, China might not have been able to beat Syria at home.

After the game, Zhou Yi did not go back to the hotel with the players, but rushed directly to the airport by car, and he will fly directly back to Germany by flight to participate in the league preparation in Dortmund.

After returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi did not return to training immediately. Klopp gave Zhou Yi a day off to let him rest and rest, and at the same time reversed jet lag.

So a day later, Zhou Yi returned to the team for training.

During training, Klopp found that Zhou Yi was not showing any signs of jerkiness in his cooperation with the team, except for being a little tired, and he was very satisfied with this.

Before Zhou Yi participated in the national team competition, Klopp's biggest concern was Zhou Yi's physical fitness, and the second was that Zhou Yi did not participate in the team's training camp during the winter break, and he would be a little unable to keep up with the team's training rhythm.

But judging from Zhou Yi's training, there is no second problem.

Zhou Yi's physical fitness did not recover, so Klopp modified Zhou Yi's training plan and asked him to follow the physical coach for physical recovery training, so that he did not have to practice with the team all the time.

At half past 0:00 a.m. on January 18, Beijing time, Dortmund's away game against Cologne began.

Zhou Yi, who participated in the national team competition, still started.

It was his fourth consecutive start for Borussia Dortmund.

Because of his participation in the national team competition, Zhou Yi only played half of the game this time and was replaced at halftime.

He had neither a goal nor an assist in the first half.

However, Dortmund was able to lead Cologne by two goals in the first half, and Zhou Yi's contribution was not small.

He didn't have a direct assist, but he helped Dortmund to take control.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund beat Cologne 3-2 away.

A few hours before this game, the Chinese team also defeated Vietnam 2:1 away from home, and finally won the group and advanced to the Asian Cup finals.

After the match against Cologne, Shaheen recovered from injury and began training with the team.

The Dortmund media are already anticipating the presence of Shaheen and Zhou Yi on the pitch at the same time.

"With a two-control midfield, Dortmund will be the team with the strongest control in the Bundesliga!"

A week later, in the 19th round of the league, Borussia Dortmund hosted Hamburg.

In this game, Zhou Yi did not affect his start because of Shahin's injury, he still started.

After sufficient rest and training, Zhou Yi's physical strength has recovered, so this time he played for seventy minutes before being replaced.

And he had an assist before being substituted to help Borussia Dortmund beat Hamburg 2-0 at home.

The person who replaced Zhou Yi happened to be Shahin.

It was Shaheen's first appearance since he was injured against Hoffenheim and he was average after the game. However, after two months of injury, the most important thing for Shaheen is not to play and have a good performance, to be able to step on the pitch again is already a victory for him.

As for the state or something, slowly get it back.

In the 20th round of the league, Dortmund challenged Stuttgart away.

In this game, Zhou Yi continued to start, although Shaheen returned from injury and came off the bench in the last game.

But this does not mean that Shahin must snatch Zhou Yi's starting qualification after he can play.

Although Shaheen has been the team's main force and the heart of the midfield until then.

But now that Zhou Yi has performed better in the time he has been replaced, there is no reason to replace him in any way and make way for Sha Xin.

So even if it was the core of the past, now we must honestly start from the bench and regain the main position with our outstanding performance.

The match ended with a 1-1 draw away from Borussia Dortmund.

Zhou Yi did not have an assist or a goal, but he did a very good job in the midfield, otherwise, Dortmund would have lost this game.

Shahin replaced Zhou Yi again in the 66th minute, and after coming on the field, his performance was better than after coming off the bench in the last game. It can be seen that he is gradually finding his form.

Next, Dortmund played Eintracht Frankfurt at home, and as in the previous game against Stuttgart, it was still Zhou Yi who started and Shahin was substituted.

In the first half, when Zhou Yi was full of energy, he performed well and provided an assist for the team to help Dortmund lead Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at home. It was also Zhou Yi's fifth assist for Borussia Dortmund's first team this season.

After his fitness dropped in the second half, he was not as active as he was in the first half. However, Klopp was not worried about the loss of control in the midfield as a result, and he replaced Zhou Yi with Shaheen in the 65th minute.

Shaheen also provided an assist soon after coming on to give Borussia Dortmund a 3-1 lead over Eintracht Frankfurt.

"Shaheen! Saheen and Zhou Yi are both in excellent form, I think it must be a happy worry for Klopp!" said Marcel Leif.

He was right, and as he celebrated the goal, Klopp told assistant coach Bwach: "It looks like we have to come up with a way as soon as possible so that both of them can play at the same time, Gerlico." ”

"No problem. The team's assistant coach, tactician Gerliko Bouácz.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 at home to regain victory after a draw.

Towards Champions League qualification next season.

In their next game, they will face a strong opponent - Bayern Munich.

After the game against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund's players noticed some changes in their training content.

The coaching staff is experimenting with a new tactical idea, which is to have Shaheen and Zhou Yi play at the same time.

The players were not surprised by the change. Zhou Yi was able to play because Shahin was injured, so when Shahin returned from injury and performed well, he would return to the starting lineup sooner or later. But Zhou Yi's performance is also good, and it is impossible to let Zhou Yi go as a substitute because Shahin wants to return to the starting lineup, which is also unfair to Zhou Yi.

So the two of them will definitely play at the same time.

As for how to play at the same time, that's what the coaching staff has to think about.

Through training, the players saw some clues.

During the period when Shaheen was injured, Dortmund changed from 442 to 4231, and the striker Zidan, who was originally the starter, lost his starting qualification and was reduced to a substitute, which was to make room for Zhou Yi. Before 442, there were two midfielders in the middle of the midfield, one was Shahin, the other was Sven Bender, and Kyle switched back and forth. This combination ensures defensive hardness and playmaking in the midfield.

After Sha Xin's injury, although Zhou Yi successfully replaced Sha Xin's organizational work, Zhou Yi couldn't help too much defensively. If he continues to play 442, with only four people in the midfield and only one midfielder in the middle, Klopp is worried that the team's midfield defense is not hard enough.

So he changed the team's formation from 442 to 4231, starting Sven Bender and Kyle in the midfield position, and the two defenders with excellent defensive ability ensured the defensive hardness of the midfield, and at the same time allowed the forward midfielder Zhou Yi to organize the attack boldly and without worrying about conceding the ball in the confrontation.

The formation worked well, and with Shaheen injured, Dortmund managed to win back-to-back victories.

The players are basically used to this formation, so they will adjust on that basis.

Shaheen returned to the midfield position to control the tempo and organise the movement, while Zhou Yi remained in the midfield position as he was closer to the penalty area and was responsible for more delicate attacking organising, such as the lethal final pass.

The two people are both in touch with each other and have a clear division of labor.

At the same time, it can also be reversed back and forth, Zhou Yi can retreat to the back position to reverse the foot, and Shahin can also go forward to organize the attack, after all, Shahin also has a certain lethal pass ability.

That's the duo that Klopp has equipped Dortmund.

In this way, it is equivalent to double insurance.

When any core doesn't perform well, the other core can continue to work.

Nowadays, even computers pay attention to multi-core, and playing multi-core on the football field is naturally an inevitable product of the development of the times.
