Chapter 293: I Heard There Is Retribution for Wasting an Opportunity?
Zhou Yi is not surprised by this performance of the Atletico Madrid players, and he is not surprised by the performance of the Atletico Madrid team.
His game footage wasn't for nothing.
In addition to the tactical stuff, he certainly also focused on the mental stuff.
The success of this Atletico Madrid team is, of course, not just tactical.
Tactical execution depends on the player, and how well the player can execute the tactics depends largely on the player's willpower.
He doesn't care what the Atletico Madrid players look at right now.
Dortmund, of course, took this kind of thing into account when preparing for the game. They didn't think that just a one-goal lead could make Atletico Madrid be defeated and collapsed, so it would be too underestimating Atletico Madrid, right?
Every Borussia Dortmund player knows this, and if that surprises them and catches them off guard......
Zhou Yidao welcomes Atletico Madrid to try.
Atletico Madrid is a good touchstone, if Dortmund can pass the test of Atletico Madrid, then whether it meets Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the final, Zhou Yi feels that Dortmund can fight and win.
※※※
Because of the tactical requirements of quick passing, Weidenfeller did not kick the ball up front with a big kick, but passed it to centre-back Hummels, who was picking up from outside the box.
At the same time, Dortmund's three lines remain compact so that everyone can pass the ball quickly and accurately.
Borussia Dortmund once again used the goal.
Hummels passed to Sven Bender, Sven Bender passed to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi passed back to Durm, Durm passed to Yan Min who retreated, Yan Min passed to Aubameyang, Aubameyang passed back to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi then transferred the football to Reuss on the right side, Reus carried the ball forward, and after encountering obstacles, he did not hesitate, did not make any unnecessary struggles, and immediately passed the football back to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi passed the ball directly without stopping the ball, and handed the football to Yan Min on the left.
By this time, Dortmund had advanced into the 30-meter zone of Atletico Madrid.
Although Atletico Madrid put in heavy reinforcements in the central midfield, they didn't even touch the ball in Dortmund's advance......
The Atletico Madrid players have been pressing hard to break the ball, but every time the Dortmund players have been able to get the ball out before them.
After Yan Min got the ball, he first made a gesture to break through from the side and go to the ground, but after a feint, he suddenly changed to cut inside.
In the process of cutting inside, shoot directly with your feet.
The ball arced slightly over the crossbar......
"Yan Min! Oops! It's a pity that the goal didn't go in! Almost! Although it didn't score, it was still a very dangerous shot! Dortmund's attack was very fluid...... Advancing from the back to the front, continuous passing, although Atletico Madrid grabbed the ball fiercely, it couldn't touch the ball...... "Marcel Leif saw some clues.
But in Simeone's view, this is caused by his players not pressing hard enough and sticking up fast enough, so he kept waving his arms on the sidelines, asking the players to increase their pressing efforts, not to hesitate and cower, to rush forward decisively and boldly.
※※※
When Dortmund got the ball again and attacked, Atletico Madrid's pressing did increase.
For example, as soon as Zhou Yi passed the football out, Gabi bumped into him, knocking him so that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
This was not done before, and after Gabi saw Zhou Yi pass the football out, he would not continue to rush forward. Now he is doing so, apparently under the influence of Simeone.
Referee Eriksen noticed this, but the football was passed to the front by Zhou Yi, and now Dortmund is in attack, so he adheres to the principle of "attacking advantageously" and does not stop the game.
Zhou Yi was not distressed by Gabi's change, on the contrary, he was quite happy.
Gabi's approach means that once he has pounced, there is no turning back, and it is not just Gabi alone, but also other Atletico Madrid players, who do not listen to the pressure and have more space behind them.
He ignored Gabi and ran straight to the front to support his teammates.
※※※
Dortmund's quick passing did give Atletico Madrid more holes in the defense.
In this attack, Reuss crossed from the bottom, Mark and Aubameyang attracted the attention of Atletico Madrid's defense at the front point and the key point respectively, and Yan Min was unmarked at the back point.
However, Yan Min is not very good at heading, and his header is high......
"Yan Min! I missed a great opportunity! It's really worrying to squander the opportunity like this...... You must know that if you waste an opportunity, you will be punished......" He Ping was a little worried.
Borussia Dortmund started the game very well, scoring a goal and creating two good scoring chances, but Yan Min squandered both. This naturally worries those who care about and support Dortmund.
Such a good opportunity, one after another, is it wasted, will there be another one in the future?
People are always subconsciously worried about wasting opportunities, because they all think that such opportunities are difficult to repeat, and if you miss one, you will lose one.
But the actual situation may be a little different from what everyone thinks......
In the fourteenth minute, eleven minutes had passed since the last goal, and the score was still 1:0, and Dortmund, who were playing at home, took the lead.
On the field, Atletico Madrid still tried very hard to use their high pressing tactics to deal with Dortmund, and Dortmund's fast passing and non-stop passing were dazzling to watch, and also made Atletico Madrid a little dizzy.
At this time, Dortmund advanced the ball to the 30-meter area of Atletico Madrid, and Zhou Yi was ready to receive the ball.
Gabi and football came almost at the same time.
Zhou Yi jumped up to dodge Gabi's outstretched foot, and at the same time, he didn't forget to use the sole of his foot to flick the football behind him, which made Gabi shovel into the air, and the person didn't touch it, and the ball didn't touch it.
The football was allocated by Zhou Yi to Mark Wagner, who was very close to him.
Mark was on the line of the penalty area with his back to the attack. After receiving Zhou Yi's pass, he also did not stop the ball, but directly used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football to the outside.
Football was passed to Yan Min again!
Yan Min opened the angle and ran to the outside of the penalty area, ready to catch the ball.
Atletico Madrid's left wing-back Felipe hurriedly rushed up to block Yan Min.
Yan Min picked up his foot, he didn't stop the ball, he didn't have time to stop the ball, if he stopped the ball, Felipe forced it.
He didn't wait for Felipe to force him in front of him, and passed the football directly to the middle!
Because of this series of kicks, Atletico Madrid's defense in the penalty area has been a little too busy to take care of itself, and there is a vacancy!
When Yan Min passed the football into the penalty area, Aubameyang jumped high and he was completely unmarked!
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heads the goal!!"
Amid Marcel Leif's shouts, Aubameyang pushed the ball towards goal.
Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a world-class save at this time!
He swooped down towards the far corner, rubbing the tips of his fingers against the ball, causing it to go off the crossbar and into the crossbar!
However, the football did not pop up on the bottom line, and it rebounded back in twenty minutes!
The chaos created by Borussia Dortmund's string of passes has not yet fully subsided, and Aubameyang's header has added to the chaos.
There was a mess in front of the door.
In the midst of this chaos, Mark Wagner stretched out his foot and stabbed the football towards the goal!
Courtois had just hit the ground and could no longer get up to make a save, and he could only watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding for the second time......
"Oh my God! Unbelievable! Dortmund had a two-goal lead in less than fifteen minutes!
There was a huge cheer again at West** Stadium.
With cheers, Mark Wagner got up from the ground, went around the goal, ran to the south stand behind the goal, and waved his fist at the Dortmund fans there, who responded with fist waving.
For a moment, the gathered fists in the stands looked like a forest of guns.
Everyone is trying their best to make the loudest noise.
Borussia Dortmund's other players also flocked to join Mark in raising their fists, not only in response to their own fans, but also in a show to Atletico Madrid.
