Chapter 418: Stalemate

When Zhou Yi picked up the ball at the Allianz Arena, there were some boos in the stands of the stadium, the boos were not very loud, but they were there. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is normal.

Because Zhou Yi is the most threatening person for Bayern Munich.

It was in this stadium last season that Zhou Yi beat Bayern Munich by two goals.

So it's normal for Bayern Munich fans to have an opinion about him.

However, in addition to defeating Bayern Munich, Zhou Yi doesn't seem to have any other black spots, so even if Bayern Munich fans don't like him, they must respect him, so there are not many boos.

Amid sporadic boos, Zhou Yi passed the football around, directing Dortmund's offensive and defensive rhythm.

Bayern Munich in this game will be more difficult to play against than Bayern Munich last season.

This is not what Zhou Yi experienced in this game, but in a virtual game.

The reason is also simple, Bayern Munich put an end to their chaotic form last season, and after the departure of Louis van Gaal, Bayern Munich's dressing room returned to calm, and they brought in a veteran coach Heynckes who was not as strong as Van Gaal.

After solving the problem in the dressing room, Bayern Munich's own strong strength can be brought into play.

Therefore, if a strong team has problems, it must be because of its own internal problems. Because with their great strength, it is rare for the outside to want them to make mistakes.

Every time Bayern Munich loses the league title in the Bundesliga, it can almost be considered that there is an internal problem first.

That's why they're the Bundesliga bosses, because as long as they play well, the rest of the teams have no chance.

Borussia Dortmund's league title last season, that's it. Bayern Munich had a big problem of their own, Van Gaal and the whole team fell out, the team's mind was not on the game, and Dortmund took advantage of the situation to steal the league title.

This story has been repeated again and again in previous seasons when Bayern Munich did not win the title.

And this time, Bayern Munich's own performance is not too much of a problem.

After Heynckes took charge, Bayern Munich reached the top of the league in the fourth round of the season, and since then they have never come down, and have been at the top of the league all the time.

If they can beat Borussia Dortmund in this game, then they will also be top of the league.

Zhou Yi has played many times with Bayern Munich in virtual games, and he knows that this team is now stronger than last season.

So in the real game, he didn't direct the team to storm Bayern Munich's goal in the opening game, although some may still have the impression that the two sides played each other last season, thinking that Dortmund could easily beat Bayern Munich away from home.

But Zhou Yi knew that this was a very dangerous idea.

If Dortmund really thinks that Bayern Munich is easy to bully and presses hard, it is possible to be counterattacked by Bayern Munich, knowing that Robben and Ribery, the two fast Marco wings, are on the field.

So he controls Dortmund and doesn't rush when attacking.

Of course, this will make the game less enjoyable, but the victory is the most important thing.

Heynckes stood on the sidelines, directing the game.

However, he arranged the countermeasure after the attack against Dortmund before the game, which was to play a counterattack.

Take advantage of the speed and individual abilities of Ribery and Robben.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Bayern Munich's posture was very low, and it did not seem like it was playing at home.

But Dortmund were not fooled.

Heynckes set his sights on Zhou Yi, and of course he knew why Dortmund was not fooled.

Because this young Chinese is the most sober-minded person in the audience.

He saw through his intentions.

As a Bundesliga coach, Heynckes is no stranger to Zhou Yi. When he was coaching at Bayer Leverkusen before, he had already played against Zhou Yi. He knows Zhou Yi well, because Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen were competing for the title last season, how could he not study his direct rivals?

With his understanding of Zhou Yi, he still felt incredible-how could such a young child be so experienced and sophisticated?

Since the 1979-1980 season, he has been coaching for 32 seasons now, and in these 32 seasons, he has seen many different players, but he has never seen anyone like Zhou Yi.

This is a mystery-like character, unpredictable.

Under Zhou Yi's deliberate control, Bayern Munich has no chance to fight back.

So this game turned into a stalemate positional battle between the two sides, when Dortmund attacked, Bayern Munich's defensive formation remained very intact, and when Bayern Munich attacked, Dortmund's defense did not have any obvious holes.

And both sides can get some opportunities to threaten the goal under such conditions with their own super strength.

It's just that the goalkeepers of both teams played well.

Dortmund's goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, Bayern Munich's goalkeeper has changed dramatically from last season, and this summer, Schalke 04's main goalkeeper Neuer joined Bayern Munich and became Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper.

At the time, the transfer deal was also controversial on Schalke 04's side.

This is actually the sadness of the entire Bundesliga team, the players they worked so hard to cultivate, who originally thought that they could become legends of their own clubs, ended up becoming famous names for Bayern Munich......

Bayern Munich have not found a consistent goalkeeper since Kahn's retirement, and they have tried the young young Lensing and the old goalkeeper Bout brought in from Hamburg. These people have indeed had their highlights, but they have not been consistent enough, and Bayern Munich's ups and downs in recent seasons have also had something to do with the fact that their goalkeepers have not been fixed.

So this summer, they did whatever it took to poach Manuel Neuer, the hottest young goalkeeper in German football today, from Schalke 04.

Neuer's arrival was immediate, with Bayern Munich conceding only four goals in twelve league rounds, the fewest goals conceded in the league, which has a lot to do with Neuer.

With both teams' goalkeepers playing well, in the first half, no one scored, and the score was 0:0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and both teams began to pick up the tempo.

Especially Bayern Munich, this is their home stadium, and if they can't win in the end, it must be unjustifiable.

On the Dortmund side, the mentality is slightly better, after all, it is an away game, even if it is a 0:0 match with Bayern Munich in the end, it is not unacceptable.

However, although Bayern Munich has stepped up their attack, their defensive strength has not weakened much because of this. Heynckes is still very defensive.

The game was a close affair, with Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery constantly attacking the Dortmund penalty area on both flanks. Dortmund, on the other hand, relied on Zhou Yi's overall pass-and-control style to compete with them.

The game lasted until almost 70 minutes, and the score was still 0:0.

If they continue to play like this, it seems that Dortmund will really take a point from the Allianz Arena.

Especially as the game time passed, Dortmund's side was still playing unhurriedly under the leadership of Zhou Yi, and they frequently fell in the middle and back. Sometimes you're in the stands or in front of the TV and you have a chance, as long as you can pass the ball, you can get a shot.

But as long as the ball is at Zhou Yi's feet, he will always make a false shot and then pass the football to another place.

So it looked like Dortmund had just missed a chance to score.

But in fact, Zhou Yi did this for a reason, it was not that he didn't see those vacancies. Just finished two national team matches, everyone was already very tired, and their bodies were not in the best condition. In addition, the game has been played for almost 70 minutes, and this time is a bottleneck period for the physical fitness of the players on the field, and it is the easiest to get tired at this moment.

If you try more risky through balls with a low success rate at this time, your teammates may not be able to receive the ball, and they will only waste their attacking opportunities.

If you're not in great fitness, don't take the risk of playing with a high level of risk.

Zhou Yi also experienced this in the virtual competition. Although there will be no physical punishment for consecutive games in virtual games, there is still a more realistic response to the loss of physical energy in a single game.

In the seventy minutes or so of each game, it is the time when the players feel the most tired, at this time, Zhou Yi chooses to plug the ball through, even if he sees the empty and accurately passes the football into the empty field, his teammates can not always receive the ball. The success rate of the through ball is low, and the success rate in this case is even lower.

Doing this in a virtual game, losing possession and losing the game, has no effect on reality, after all, if you don't win a game, you can do it again. And in the limited-time game, just this one chance, if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. After the half-time whistle, everything was closed. Therefore, in the virtual competition, Zhou Yi can make all kinds of attempts as he likes, this kind of offensive combination, that kind of offensive routine, as long as he has ideas in his head, he can try as much as he wants.

But when it comes to real games, he has to be cautious. His choices in real matches are also justified, his caution is justified, and his risk-taking is justified.

Seeing Dortmund frequently falling on their feet and looking a little unenterprising, the boos on the Allianz Stadium became louder and more numerous.

Bayern Munich fans will be hoping to provoke Borussia Dortmund players in this way, causing them to make mistakes in passing.

But Zhou Yi was unmoved, how he should have played before, and how he still played now.

In this way, the game was grinded to the seventy-fifth minute.

The score was still 0:0.

Zhou Yi kept turning his head on the field to observe, he was not watching the ball, but looking at people, sometimes the football was on the left, but he didn't look at it at all, just looked at the situation on the right.

What is he looking at?

He's watching the players' running positions and looking at their fitness from their running.

After getting through the bottleneck period, everyone's physical performance is better than before.

Of course, some people will say that this is just a return to the light, not really good health. And some people will be sure that after breaking through the bottleneck period, the physical fitness will indeed be in a stage where no matter how you use it, you will not feel tired.

But in either case, it's the same for Zhou Yi, that is, his teammates have regained some of their running ability.

And at this time, it's time to think about taking risks!
