Chapter 253: Good Luck

Jurgen Klopp used up two substitutions in one go, replacing Mkhitaryan with Yan Min and Grosskreutz with Reuss. Obviously, this is Dortmund going to attack, but will it be a little late to make another substitution at this time? Wouldn't it be better to be ten or twenty minutes earlier?" Duan Xin said worriedly.

In his opinion, Klopp was too bold to play this kind of rotation in such an important game, and he didn't make any substitutions until the last fifteen minutes of the game.

If the final adjustment doesn't work out, who's to blame?

Isn't the league safer than the ethereal Champions League game, and what does Jurgen Klopp think?

Duan Xin couldn't figure it out.

And not only he, a Chinese, can't figure it out, but also many Germans, including Marcel Leif.

In fact, there is nothing to figure out, and there is no conspiracy hidden in Klopp's actions, and it is not "everything under control".

Klopp was gambling, like a red-eyed gambler.

He wants both the league and the Champions League, so he can only bet that he can still beat Wolfsburg at home and still bite Bayern Munich after his rotation.

Now it seems that he still has a chance to win......

This is quite in line with the characteristics of Klopp as a gambler.

When you don't know how to choose, don't know whether to give up or not, then don't think about who to give up and who not to give up, gamble.

After Yan Min and Reus came on the field, they brought some improvements to the team, especially the attack on the two wings became more active, and they helped Zhou Yi share some of the defensive pressure.

In the 79th minute, Durm dribbled up from the full-back position, and after facing Wolfsburg's interception, he passed the football to Zhou Yi.

And Zhou Yi quickly passed the football to the empty space on the left side, where Yan Min was inserting forward.

Zhou Yi accurately found Yan Min.

After Yan Min stopped the football, he made a feint to break through, but he dunked the football back with his left foot, and then crossed with his right foot.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang jumped up in front of goal to fight for the ball.

Goalkeeper Marcos Green also came out to get the ball.

With three men in the air, Marcos Green made the wrong move – he wanted to take the ball off instead of playing it when he was separated by two people.

So he didn't touch a soccer ball at all.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, on the other hand, also failed to reach the ball – it hit his shoulder and bounced off the other side.

At that place, Zhou Yi just happened to arrive at the horse, and when he saw the football falling from the sky, when there were people around, he didn't care about stopping and adjusting, and directly kicked the football!

Zhou Yi's body is not strong enough, and his legs are not long, so he basically can't take advantage of anything in the forbidden area where there are many long people.

But Zhou Yisheng has a stronger sense of the overall situation, and he has a sharper grasp of the rapidly changing situation on the field than others, so he really grabbed everyone's attention with this kick!

The ball kicked by him flew straight towards the Wolfsburg goal.

At this time, Wolfsburg goalkeeper Marcos Green had just landed and had no time to react again - he probably didn't even know where the football was......

The football flew into the Wolfsburg goal under everyone's gaze......

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Good ball! Good ball! Zhou Yi He took the lead for Dortmund!"

Zhou Yi also turned his head to look at the referee and linesman after the shot, and found that they had no objection to his action, so he ran to the South Stand with open arms and celebrated the goal there.

The other Borussia Dortmund players followed suit.

Only the Wolfsburg players stayed to ask the referee for an explanation – on the one hand, they believed that Aubameyang was suspected of ramming the goalkeeper during the aerial battle, and on the other hand, they believed that Zhou Yi had stepped on it.

However, the referee did not accept these two complaints.

At that time, the three of them collided together, and there was also a Naldo between Aubameyang and Marcos Green, if there was direct physical contact, it was also between Green and his teammate Naldo.

Not to mention the pedal, Zhou Yi was playing the ball at that time, and there was no Wolfsburg player in front of him, so Zhou Yi did not constitute a dangerous action.

So the goal works!

After the football flew into the goal, the West** Stadium was like a volcanic eruption, all deafening cheers, and the stands seemed to be shaking.

It was a goal that was too important for Borussia Dortmund.

The television broadcast was quick to give Klopp a close-up, showing him flailing his fists desperately and celebrating the goal.

This gambler's gambling luck seems to have been quite good......

After Zhou Yi's goal, the latest standings of the league were played on TV.

Borussia Dortmund were four points behind Bayern Munich at the top of the table, but now they have a two-point gap again.

As long as Dortmund can hold on to their current scoreline, they can keep the pressure on Bayern Munich.

However, Wolfsburg are not the kind to throw in easily, and now they are only one goal behind, not two goals behind.

So after conceding the goal, Wolfsburg still did not change its strategy, and continued to attack Dortmund's goal and attack Dortmund.

Klopp also did not replace the goal-scorer Zhou Yi, although Zhou Yi continued to fight, Klopp obviously intended to let Zhou Yi play the whole game.

Zhou Yi is too important to Dortmund now. If he makes a substitution, Dortmund will let Wolfsburg equalise in the last minute after the midfield gets out of control.

Although Zhou Yi himself is not the kind of player who specializes in defense and is good at defense, his presence will indeed make Dortmund's defense more stable.

At this time, Klopp can only hope that after a few years of training, Zhou Yi's qualitative change in physical fitness can help him.

In the final moments of the game, Wolfsburg's counter-attack was really strong, such as De Bruyne's free-kick high, Perisic's powerful volley from a tight angle near the bottom line on the left side of the netting......

Despite this, Dortmund withstood Wolfsburg's attack.

The score of 2:1 was held to the end.

"It's over! Borussia Dortmund won the game with a hard time! They continue to be just two points behind Bayern Munich in the league standings! Jurgen Klopp insisted on a rotation break in a difficult situation, and I wonder if this arrangement will help the team to knock out Lyon at home in the Champions League in the middle of next week......"

Dortmund, who won the game, walked under the south stand and collectively thanked the Dortmund fans for their support.

The Dortmund fans also applauded and cheered for them.

It's tough and thrilling, but it's a beautiful game to win.

Isn't there a saying that says?

"What turns out to be good is good. ”

On the way to the league title, as long as you can get three points, you don't have to worry about how to get them.

After this game, Dortmund will prepare for the Champions League match against Lyon.

After losing 3-1 in the first leg, they had to beat their opponents by two goals at home and not allow them to score.

There is good news for them – Paris Saint-Germain's staple Roman Zlatan Ibrahimovic was forced off with a muscle strain in the previous leg of the Champions League, which left him out of the recently concluded Ligue 1 tie and is likely to continue to miss the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.

However, looking at the just-concluded Ligue 1 match, Paris Saint-Germain still beat Lens 3-0 at home without Ibrahimovic and with a large number of rotations.

It can be said that the whole team is in good shape.

In the face of such a team, Dortmund may not have any certainty of victory.

Not to mention, this game was followed by Borussia Dortmund's away game against Bayern Munich. That was the most crucial game of the season, and it was bound to affect Borussia Dortmund's match against Paris Saint-Germain.

After the game, when Zhou Yi was interviewed, he was asked this question.

"Will the match against Paris Saint-Germain affect the league?" Zhou Yi asked rhetorically to confirm the question, and then shook his head, "No, I don't think so. The opportunities are equal. We have Champions League games and Bayern Munich have Champions League games as well. They will also be at home to Manchester United. ”

"But Bayern Munich played 1-1 away in the first leg. A reporter reminded him. "So they're going to be a little bit more relaxed. ”

'I don't think so, if Bayern Munich really think that way and think they are 1-1 away and it will be easier to come back at home, then I will be happy to see them knocked out of the Champions League. Zhou Yi said seriously. "Every game deserves to be taken seriously, we will take PSG seriously and we will take Bayern Munich seriously......"

However, some reporters still objected to Zhou Yi's remarks: "But I'm afraid some people won't think that you take Wolfsburg seriously......"

Zhou Yi smiled: "How can it be? I played the whole game, isn't this called taking it seriously?"

The reporter who asked the question opened his mouth, but he didn't make any more sounds, and he was stammered by Zhou Yi's rhetorical question.

Because in fact, everyone agrees that this is the case - as long as Zhou Yi is not rotated, it means that Klopp still wants to win this game. Regardless of the actual odds of winning, at least in terms of subjective will, it cannot be said that Dortmund does not value their opponents......

However, this is all public opinion, which has never been officially confirmed by Dortmund, and Dortmund FC has never said such a thing. So everyone thinks it's just a conventional unspoken rule.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi directly used the media's praise for him today to scold reporters, and the reporters were speechless.

Looking at the back of Zhou Yi leaving, some reporters shook their heads vigorously.

They still felt that Zhou Yi was just quibbling.

The two games against Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are crucial and they may see the season finale next week.
