Chapter 219: Adjustments Required
When Dortmund's away game against Hoffenheim officially began, Zhou Yi sat on the bench, and the broadcast did not give the bench a shot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Duan Xin happily reported the list of both sides, because there was Zhou Yi in this list.
But he's not done yet......
Borussia Dortmund scored!
"Kuba shoots--the ball is in!oops, the ball is in!" Duan Xin shouted. That oops, I don't know if I was happy or sorry for Dortmund's goal......
But Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV slapped his thigh: "Oops!"
He made no secret of his frustration at the goal.
Borussia Dortmund scoring so early means they will definitely have the upper hand in this game, and it seems impossible for their son to play......
Li Cuiyun saw Zhou Jianliang's appearance, and she guessed a little, she asked: "Is it difficult for her son to appear again?"
Zhou Jianliang let out a weak "um".
Li Cuiyun didn't continue to ask why she couldn't play.
※ ※ ※
Zhou Yike, who was on the bench in front, didn't have the same mind as his parents, and after Kuba scored, he rushed out of the bench with his teammates, raising his arms and shouting to celebrate the team's lead.
Marcel Leif said: "Borussia Dortmund took the lead after just two minutes, which was a fantastic start for them!"
Neither side was able to score again in the first half, with Dortmund ending the first half with a one-goal lead and the two sides going into the break.
At half-time, the starting eleven were in the dressing room, while the players on the bench were all led by the assistant coach to warm up on the pitch.
Zhou Yi is also among them.
There were fewer people in the stands than there were during the game, but there were still quite a lot of people.
Zhou Yidu found it hard to believe that a team from such a small village as Hoffenheim could appear in the Bundesliga, and the fans of a team in a village with a total of 3,000 people could sit in a stadium of 30,000 people......
That's the charm of football, the charm of football in Europe.
Football is a grassroots sport rooted in the people at the bottom of the ladder and is based on the communities in which the team is located. To be honest, Zhou Yi has been in Germany for a whole year, and what he sees and hears every day makes him particularly envious of German fans. These things that they are very daily are all things that Zhou Yi dreams of in China but cannot get.
Football in China is far from being rooted in the grassroots and relying on the community. It's more like a game for the bigwigs, if you like it, you will vigorously develop it, and if you don't like it, you will enter the cold palace. How powerful football was in Dalian back then, the city leaders also made football a city card, and cities across the country followed suit for a while.
But what about now?
Many cities have discarded the business cards they once prided themselves on. Even the current football team of Dalian, a football city, is declining and no longer has lost its former glory.
Football in China still relies more on the rule of people, rather than relying on the football culture rooted in the grassroots to achieve its own development.
China still has a long way to go in this regard......
While warming up on the field of the Bundesliga, he thought of Chinese football, and Zhou Yi's habit of wandering was indeed quite speechless.

In the second half, the two sides changed places and fought again, and Hoffenheim, the lagging side, took the lead in making substitutions. Weiss replaces Eichner and Vossa replaces Comper. It's all defensive substitutions, and it's clear that Hoffenheim coach Rangnick is looking to improve the defense to improve the offense - if the defense is consistently shaky, the team's offense is unlikely to improve.
At the beginning of the second half, two substitutions were used up in one go, and Rangnick was a desperate gamble.
Borussia Dortmund's form has been inconsistent in the new season, and Rangnick will not be willing to lose to such an opponent on his home turf.
The succession of substitutions had an immediate effect, and most importantly, Rangnick's imposing substitution also gave a positive signal to the Hoffenheim players on the pitch, and the manager worked so hard to give them confidence and a concerted effort.
In the 49th minute, Hoffenheim received a pass from Carlos Eduardo by Demba Ba and scored!
"1:1! Hoffenheim equalize!"
There were huge cheers in the Rhine-Neckar arena and the Hoffenheim fans cheered and raised their arms and chanted.
It was a spectacular scene.
"Sure enough, there's one problem that Dortmund haven't been able to solve since the beginning of the season, and that's their defence! Even if they score first, they're going to be in the middle of an equaliser!" said Marcel Leff.
Jurgen Klopp also looked furious at the goal, and he rushed out of the dugout and roared onto the pitch.
After yelling, he returned to the coach's box, still looking angry, and his hands clutched the water bottle as he drank the water.
Assistant coach Bwach sat next to him, also looking depressed, frowning and not saying a word.
Taking the lead in the opening two minutes was a very good start. However, such a good situation did not hold, but was equalized by the opponent just four minutes into the second half.
Once or twice is enough, and it has always been repeated throughout the season, and for the Dortmund players there has even been a reflex - as soon as they concede a goal, they lose confidence.
That's it for now.
After conceding a goal, the team was significantly worse than after scoring in the first half. On the contrary, Hoffenheim's morale was boosted and Dortmund was suppressed from the field.
It looks like Borussia Dortmund are likely to concede another goal and end up losing this game.
※ ※ ※
After Hoffenheim's equaliser, there was a rush of mourning on the bench at Borussia Dortmund.
It's like this every time, and it really reminds them of a lot of not-so-good things.
They've drawn two games in a row, so are they going to draw a third game in a row?
Zhou Yi was among them, and he also frowned.
He played against Hoffenheim in his virtual games, and it makes sense that this team was able to win the halfway league title last season and finish fourth in the league this season.
The strength of the players is not weak, the head coach Rangnick has ideas, and Hoffenheim plays a bit like "pressing around" in layman's terms.
The players were running aggressively, they were fighting hard up front, everyone was running.
In fact, it is a bit similar to Klopp's set. It's all about running ability and pressing in midfield.
It's just that the morale of the Hoffenheim players is now higher than that of Dortmund, and the tactics are better executed.
And now, Dortmund are under pressure from Hoffenheim and the midfield is a little out of control...... Relying on Shaheen alone, it is difficult to support the overall situation.
※ ※ ※
In the game, Shaheen was forced by Hoffenheim defender Gustavo after receiving the ball.
In fact, Shahin's position on the pitch is the midfield, and the opponent's back can directly force Dortmund's back, which shows how crazy Hoffenheim's pressing is. But it was this madness that allowed them to equalise just four minutes into the second half, and it was that madness that gave them the upper hand now.
Under Gustavo's pressing, Shaheen conceded the ball, and Hoffenheim took the opportunity to launch a counterattack in front.
He almost put the ball in the back of the net, if it weren't for Weidenfeller's brilliant play and the one-handed drag of the ball off the line......
"What a risk!" Weidenfeller made a brilliant save!"
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands let out a loud sigh and regretted that the team had not been able to extend the score.
At this time, Klopp also stood up again from the coach's bench, and he said to Bovac: "Go and call Zhou Yi to warm up!"
Bwach was stunned for a moment.
"Go!" Klopp urged.
Only then did Bwach get up and go to find Zhou Yi.
"Zhou Yi, go warm up!" he waved his hand at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was also stunned for a moment.
"Go!!" this time it was Bouch's turn to urge Zhou Yi.
After reacting, Zhou Yi hurriedly grabbed a training vest and went to warm up and run, and he almost tripped over......
Bwach, who saw Zhou Yi's embarrassment behind him, shook his head, turned back to Klopp: "Are you serious, Jurgen? Let him play at such a time? The huge pressure will crush him! Isn't there still Folner sitting on the bench?"
'As a professional footballer, sooner or later you have to come under pressure, and it's more pressure than you have now. If you can't perform well because you're under pressure, you can't be a professional. So that's not a reason not to let him play, Gerlico. Klopp said seriously. 'From a tactical point of view, Forner is not the kind of midfielder who can control the tempo, but Zhou Yi is. We're in Hoffenheim's rhythm right now, and we have to re-tempo and get back on our own track. ”
Klopp had a point, and Bouács had nothing to say.
In terms of the technical characteristics of the players, Forner is really not the man Klopp needs right now.
"Everybody has a first time, Gerlico, you don't have to worry too much. Klopp comforted Bwach.

Zhou Yi, who was warming up, realized that he was likely to get the opportunity to play this time, and he was ecstatic in his heart, but he still did the warm-up action very seriously, and he did not perfunctory because he was happy.
His heart was ecstatic, but his mind was still clear.
Zhou Yi, who was warming up, didn't know that the TV broadcast suddenly gave him a shot.
The broadcast level of the Bundesliga game may be the first in the five major European leagues, and the live director is good at capturing any interesting details, and is a person who understands the ball, so he will use the lens language to tell the audience and the commentator some information.
In fact, Zhou Yike was not captured by the camera after the warm-up, but entered the broadcast camera when assistant coach Bwach went to ask him to warm up.
"Zhou Yi went to warm up!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly.
In fact, when Hoffenheim equalized and Dortmund was in an emergency, Duan Xin had been discussing the possibility of Zhou Yi playing with Tao Wei.
Now that Zhou Yi really got up to warm up, they were all very excited. After waiting for almost half a season, do you finally have to wait for Zhou Yi's debut in the Bundesliga?
"Son!It's our son!!" Zhou Jianliang said excitedly.
Li Cuiyun, who was originally a little drowsy, was also shocked and looked at the TV screen again. Sure enough, she also saw the picture of Zhou Yi putting on a vest and running to warm up.
"Great! I have a chance to play!" Zhou Jianliang said excitedly next to him.
"But he also warmed up in that game...... "Li Cuiyun, who doesn't understand football, wondered why her husband was so excited.
"That's different! It's a lot of people warming up together, just to keep the players on the bench too long, to keep their bodies warm. That kind of warm-up is usually done by a lot of people. But this time it's different, this time the coach called our son out to warm up alone, which means that he may have to be replaced!
Zhou Jianliang, who was in a good mood, also began to take the trouble to popularize football knowledge to his wife.
