Chapter 443: The Situation Is Upside Down

When Borussia Dortmund scored two goals in 26 minutes to equalise on aggregate, it shouldn't have been a good thing for AC Milan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But AC Milan suddenly found that they were no longer chaotic and didn't have to think too much.

Because the situation is very critical now, and it is very simple.

AC Milan will have to score if they are to avoid elimination.

This goal is equivalent to waking up the AC Milan players who were still a little flustered before - we have nothing more to lose, so let's fight!

So when the game resumed, AC Milan suddenly reverted to the same form they had in the first leg, catching the Dortmund players off guard when they were heading to score another goal and seal the win completely.

Borussia Dortmund's attack was not only defended by AC Milan, they also took advantage of the situation to get back in front of the Dortmund goal. If it hadn't been for Weidenfeller's brilliant performance, the goal might have gone in.

This dangerous attack also boosted the morale of AC Milan, and in the rest of the game, it became AC Milan to dominate.

Marcel Leif also noticed this, exclaiming: "AC Milan at the beginning of the game was like a sleeping lion, and now AC Milan reminds us of the AC Milan team we played in the first leg!"

Borussia Dortmund found their attack ineffective and the opposition attacked violently, so they had to contract slowly and slow down the pace of the game.

During this period, after AC Milan's attack came up, Dortmund's 30-meter area did not look very peaceful.

On several occasions, it caused the Dortmund fans to scream - they thought AC Milan was going to score.

Fortunately, Dortmund's defense still withstood and did not concede a goal.

But if you can withstand it for a while, you may not be able to withstand it for a lifetime. If you defend so passively, you will always lose the ball.

The relaxed and joyful atmosphere over the West**** Stadium was swept away and replaced by a tense air.

If AC Milan scores a goal, it's over.

Both sides have scored away goals, and both have the same number of away goals, with AC Milan one goal ahead of Borussia Dortmund on aggregate.

Even if Dortmund scored another goal to level the aggregate score, they could not rely on this score to eliminate AC Milan. They will continue to play extra time with AC Milan, and if they can't score again in 30 minutes of extra time, it will be a penalty shoot-out.

At a time like this, Dortmund must change the current situation, at least they can't afford to be beaten by AC Milan's attack, right?

So what can be done to change the current situation?

Many people choose to focus on Zhou Yi.

※※※

Zhou Yi didn't play very actively during this time, and after getting the ball, he was more about control than sending cannonballs forward.

Because he has nothing to pass the ball forward, everyone has been suppressed by AC Milan, and if he still thinks that he is pursuing some counterattack, he is afraid that he will give up control of the ball to AC Milan in vain.

So during this time, after Zhou Yi took the ball, he mainly passed horizontally and inverted his feet, and was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward.

And this kind of inverted foot is to leave time for his teammates to plug forward, and only after there are enough contact points in front of him, Zhou Yi will consider transporting the football forward.

Although this will lose some counter-attacking opportunities, it will reduce the number of attacks that AC Milan can play, and in fact, reduce the threat of AC Milan to the goal.

However, this does not mean that Zhou Yi is unenterprising and passively backward in the backfield, hoping to kill time by falling on his feet, he is always paying attention to the changes in the situation on the field, scanning and recording the position of each player, and observing their running. Looking for and waiting for opportunities.

Now AC Milan are attacking fiercely and they have the initiative. But that doesn't mean they're in control, there's always some space on the football pitch.

Zhou Yi kept scanning and found these vacancy, some large and some small, but not every vacancy was able to launch an attack.

However, it is not enough to wait, and sometimes it is necessary to create opportunities.

When the ball was passed to Zhou Yi again, he began to try to direct the movement of the players on both sides, thus making a potential gap that he had already seen a little bigger.

He first crossed back with his teammates, just like before.

AC Milan's players responded to Zhou Yi's style of play and launched an active siege in the front court - they thought that Zhou Yi's inverted foot was delaying time, after all, the score was maintained until the end of the game, and Dortmund would eliminate the opponent with the advantage of away goals.

If AC Milan does not press in front, but quickly retreats to their own half after Dortmund has the ball, sets up a defensive line, and waits for the opponent to attack, then it is possible that Dortmund may not be able to attack after five minutes in the backfield - they think Zhou Yi can definitely do this kind of thing!

Then then the game time will pass in Dortmund's back-and-forth foot. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to press up front. On the one hand, it can put pressure on Dortmund and increase their chance of mistakes in possession, and on the other hand, it is hoped that they can press forward and directly counterattack.

As long as they can break the ball, they are very close to Dortmund's goal, which is less time to talk than from the back, and it is also more sudden, which can catch Dortmund off guard.

AC Milan's pressing up front further intensified the tension that hung over the West**** stadium. The Dortmund fans in front of the TV and in the stands were terrified, and Marcel Leif said: "Dortmund is very dangerous during this time!"

But who knows, this is exactly the result that Zhou Yi wants?

Because if AC Milan doesn't come up to scramble, the space behind them won't become more and bigger. He believes that as long as the void becomes bigger, it is not only himself who can see the vacancy, but his teammates, no matter who it is, will always find out......

After passing back and forth, the vacancy that Zhou Yi found at the beginning was getting bigger and bigger.

But it seems that none of his teammates have been able to detect this vacancy.

If we continue to wait, this gap will be obvious if it is a little bigger, and after it is obvious, AC Milan will definitely take precautions. They're not fools either.

In such a situation, Zhou Yi has two choices - either give up this opportunity and continue to wait for the search, which is more secure, at least the formation of the whole team will not be chaotic.

Either choose to attack and seize this opportunity to make a fuss. But there will be a great risk in this way, if other teammates cooperate with Zhou Yi to go up, but this attack is not successful, what if the opponent plays a counterattack?

Zhou Yi had to make a choice.

However, as I said before, Zhou Yi is a person who is good at doing multiple-choice questions......

With the ball, he made a move to pass the ball forward, as if he was going to attack with a long pass.

Van Bommel saw this and pressed up to interfere with his pass.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi's pass was just a feint, and after his right foot was picked up, he swept over the football, and then retracted it, and pulled the football back with the sole of his foot, avoiding Van Bommel's foot.

Then he knocked the ball back to the left with his right foot, dodged away from Van Bommel, and went forward with the football!

"Good ball, Zhou Yi got rid of it beautifully!"

He can't just get his teammates to run forward, but he can run on his own!

Got rid of Van Bommel's Zhou Yi with the ball and moved forward with the ball.

In fact, in the game, Zhou Yi is rarely able to take the initiative to take the ball for a long run, most of the time his dribbling is two or three steps, and after encountering the interception of the opponent's defender, he will directly pass the football out. He wouldn't try to make a living, because that would delay time.

So when Zhou Yi moved forward with the ball, Nocerino, who came up to stop him, also thought that as long as he blocked in front of him and made a defensive posture, Zhou Yi would pass the football out by himself.

But now there is only one Lewandowski in front of him, and he is still being stuck by Thiago Silva, and there is no space to receive the ball at all, so where can Zhou Yi pass the football to?

He can only pass it back.

However, when Nocerino crossed in front of Zhou Yi with such an idea, Zhou Yi used an unexpected action to pass Nocerino.

"Croquettes!" exclaimed narrator Marcel Leif.

Kicking the ball with his right foot and blocking it with his left foot, the ball turned forward and slipped past Nocerino's side.

Zhou Yi then swept past Nocerino and caught up with the football.

It was such a simple passing action, but Nocerino froze in place, like a chicken, watching Zhou Yi pass him.

Zhou Yi didn't choose to pass, but passed!

This was a big surprise to everyone.

By the time the AC Milan players reacted, Zhou Yi had already rushed across the halfway line and stepped into the AC Milan half.

And Zhou Yi's sudden forward insertion also drove the players of Dortmund, Gotze, Shinji Kagawa, and Kuba rushed forward one after another to support Zhou Yi.

Lewandowski is also starting to get restless up front, trying to get rid of Thiago Silva.

For a while, it didn't seem like a very good opportunity, but suddenly there were many more opportunities.

Zhou Yi has more passing options.

And Zhou Yi did not continue to dribble the ball to AC Milan's goal, but decisively divided the football.

He passed to Lewandowski up front, who had his back to the attack and couldn't turn around when Thiago Silva was pressing.

But that doesn't mean he can't get involved in the attack.

Unable to turn around, he pushed the ball back and passed it diagonally to Shinji Kagawa, who came up. After passing the ball, he turned and cut in to goal.

Shinji Kagawa paused slightly after receiving the ball, seemingly unsure of who to hand over the ball.

After a while, he turned his head to look to his left, and Götze was already running into place, and he hurriedly sent the football over.

Gotze received the ball on the flank, and AC Milan's defense was almost in place, and under this series of attacks from Dortmund, the Doac Milan back line was pressed back in front of their goal, and it was pressed very deep.

It stands to reason that Götze should next pass the ball to the goalkeeper and let Lewandowski fight for the top.

However, when Gotze turned his head to observe the situation in the forbidden area, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yi out of the corner of his eye.

He's almost in the box.

And he's right in the middle of an empty space!

What's there to hesitate about?

Gotze picked up a kick and passed the ball out.

The ball rolled against the turf towards the penalty area, but not towards Lewandowski in front of goal. Instead, the diagonal line wants to roll back...... An inverted triangle pass!

When everyone's eyes shifted with the football, they happened to see Zhou Yi, who ran into the penalty area, picking up his right foot against the football.

"Zhou Yi—!!!" Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice.
