Chapter Ninety-Six: The Pillars of Dortmund
Jurgen Klopp was happy, but Jens Keller next door was not at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Originally, Zhou Yi's sudden start made him very surprised and passive, and letting Neustadt mark Zhou Yi was also a temporary measure, and now Zhou Yi even instigated such a beautiful team goal......
Keller also felt that Zhou Yi played before, and he might not be able to perform anything.
Now it seems that a thought suddenly popped into his mind - he was not deceived, right?
Deceived by whom?
Keller doesn't believe that Yang Muge will deceive himself, he has been coaching this team for almost a year, and he still knows a lot about what Yang Muge is.
After thinking about it, it is of course Dortmund's side that may deceive itself in the end.
If Dortmund were to deceive themselves...... It's so easy!
Keller recalled what he had learned from the media about Zhou Yi's injury this week, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem.
Especially what Zhou Yi said to Yang Muge in person...... At the time, I didn't think there was a problem. But now that he thinks about it, if he really wants to deceive the honest Yang Muge, wouldn't it be too easy?
However, Keller had never doubted the friendship between Zhou Yi and Yang Muge before, thinking that Zhou Yi would not deceive his good friend. But now...... That cunning wizard of the East, what can't he do?!
It's so damning!
Take advantage of your friend's friendship!
The angry Keller didn't think at all that when he asked Yang Muge to get Zhou Yi's information, he was actually taking advantage of the friendship between Yang Muge and Zhou Yi......
"What do we do now?" asked the assistant.
"What to do, what to do! It's a derby! A goal can't break us!" Keller gritted his teeth. He is also a coach who has coached a Ruhr derby, and he thinks he has never seen any storms and waves?

When the game started, Jens Keller didn't make any adjustments, Neustadt continued to mark Zhou Yi, and Yang Muge continued to sweep.
Neustadt was angry about his defensive mistake just now, and he made a lot of moves in the defense of Zhou Yi.
Duan Xin was very dissatisfied with Neustadt's approach: "This kind of action is already a foul, right? Shouldn't the referee protect Zhou Yi, who has just returned from injury? If he is injured for the second time in the game, I am afraid that he will not be able to recover after a month's rest......"
Zhou Jianliang said even more politely, he directly burst out and cursed: "Fuck this turtle grandson! Fuck! Is this fucking kicking football? This fucking kicking!"
Before he spoke, Zhou Yi had just been kicked to the ground by Neustadt, and although referee Kirshire awarded Neustadt a foul, he did not show any color of the brand, which made Zhou Jianliang particularly unhappy.
It's also thanks to the fact that this is Schalke 04's home stadium, and if it were Dortmund's home stadium, referee Kirshir would probably have been drowned in the spit of Dortmund fans...... Of course, if this was Dortmund's home turf, maybe Kirshire wouldn't have ruled that way?
Neustadt's defense of Zhou Yi was not able to stop Dortmund's attack. Dortmund is not Zhou Yi alone, but when Zhou Yi was not on the field before, everyone was a little uncertain. Now that Zhou Yi is back on the court, even if he doesn't do anything, his teammates will be more confident. Not to mention that he had just completed a brilliant offensive move.
In order to share the pressure on Zhou Yi, other Dortmund players also worked hard.
Zhou Yi's performance after playing made the team's morale high.
In the twentieth minute, Mark broke through with the ball and split the ball, Schmelzer crossed, and Aubameyang headed the ball in the penalty area!
The football was picked up by Hildebrand.
Immediately after, Dortmund made a comeback. In the 24th minute, Reuss passed the ball diagonally from outside the box, and the ball passed through the Schalke 04 defenders and fell into the box. Mark cleverly intervened and fired a half-volley eleven meters from goal!
It was a quality shot but Hildebrand made a brilliant save as he sideways to save the ball.
The ball he threw didn't roll off the line or the sideline, but flew into the box and landed at the feet of Aubameyang.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who scored a goal, was in good form and full of confidence, and even though he was still a little far from goal, he shot straight at goal!
The soccer ball flies straight to the goal!
Hildebrand had just made a brilliant save and showed what he could do again - he saved Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shot too!
"Oh, Hildebrand!!, great saves, he made consecutive saves from Borussia Dortmund's players, but during this time, Schalke 04 was clearly passive, and after conceding the goal, they were demoralized and were pressed by Dortmund to ......," said Marcel Leif. 'It's been a rare time for Borussia Dortmund to see this in the last month, they played with confidence and discipline after taking the lead...... And amazingly, these attacks may not all come from Zhou Yi's feet, Zhou Yi didn't even participate in these attacks, but Dortmund's offensive quality improvement is very obvious. So I think that the importance of Zhou Yi to Dortmund is not only reflected in specific tactics, but more often, it may be reflected in spiritual support. As long as he is on the pitch, his Dortmund team-mates will feel at ease and will be able to play normally. And if he is not there, he will take the lead first, and I am afraid that he will not be able to hold the ......"
Marcel Leif's analysis was recognized by many people, and the Dortmund fans in front of the TV set thought so, and some fans on the Internet expressed support for Marcel Leif's conclusion.
Zhou Yi is not the captain, and he may not be regarded as a bigwig in the locker room. But even if he doesn't say anything, he has a very important place in the team.
This important position was not earned by his rambling tirades, but by constantly saving the team and helping his teammates in game after game.
Therefore, although the captain of the team is Sebastian Kyle and the captain on the field is Weidenfeller, everyone knows that the spiritual pillar and power tower of this team is this Chinese player who is not outstanding.

Although Dortmund's offensive during this period is fierce and threatening, after all, this knows the Ruhr derby, not to mention that this is the Ruhr derby at Schalke 04's home stadium, how can Schalke 04 allow Dortmund to keep pressing them?
Schalke 04 also fired back.
In the 29th minute, Schalke 04 snatched a chance on the touchline.
At that time, Grosskreutz made a mistake in possession of the ball on the sideline, giving Yang Muge a chance.
Yang Muge turned around and kicked the football back to the field, which happened to fall next to striker Sholoy, who did not stop the ball, but directly stretched out his foot and stabbed the football to the front side.
Fuchs, who played to the full-back, grabbed ahead of Hummels and lifted his foot to pick the ball over Hummels' head!
At the same time, he quickly changed his way inside, went around behind Hummels, and smashed into the box!
"Fuchs! beautiful breakthrough!" Marcel Leif shouted.
There were loud cheers in the Schalke stadium, and the Schalke 04 fans, who had been a little silent before, became active.
Amid loud cheers, Subotic chased back into the box and then shoved at Fuchs...... Soccer ball at your feet.
He was trying to ruin the ball at Fuchs' feet. But Fuchs was quicker than him, swooping the ball down the middle with the outside of his right foot!
In fact, Fuchs himself didn't know if the kick would be passed to his teammates, but he knew very well that if he didn't, the ball could be ruined.
After he passed the ball, he was tackled to the ground by Subotic!
The ball flew outside the box and none of the Schalke 04 players received the ball.
But that doesn't matter anymore......
The referee's whistle sounded!
"Penalty!?penalty!yes, penalty!" Marcel Leif confirmed, then got excited - this is the Ruhr derby!
No fouls, no penalties, what kind of Ruhr derby?!
Although the Dortmund players ran to the referee Kirsher to complain, the slow motion showed that Subotic did kick him after Fuchs kicked the football out, regardless of whether Subotic was going to rush people or not, but he did kick Fuchs, which could not run.
So the referee didn't have a problem awarding the penalty at all.
The Dortmund players also quickly gave up on their intention to besiege the referee.
The Schalke 04 players hugged Fuchs in celebration.
After being down by one goal, a penalty was awarded and the two sides were about to return to the same running line, and the Schalke 04 players were naturally happy and their confidence began to improve.

There really wasn't much to say about the penalty decision, and even Zhou Jianliang didn't complain about the referee's decision, he just stared at the TV screen a little nervously.
The penalty was taken by Kevin Prince Boateng, who spent 13 million euros from AC Milan this year.
Weidenfeller stood in front of the door, his center of gravity lowered, his hands slightly stretched forward.
Weidenfeller has been playing well and steadily in recent seasons, and Dortmund was able to win the Champions League last season, in addition to the goals of Zhou Yi and Mark, Weidenfeller's outstanding performance in front of goal is also indispensable.
Marcel Leif lowered his voice and said: "This is the eighth penalty Wedenfeller has faced in the Bundesliga, and he saved three of the previous seven penalties. This time......"
Before the words fell, referee Kirshir blew a whistle, Boateng ran up, and then shot!
It was a powerful shot, but he shot a goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball, and the angle was not very awkward!
Weidenfeller swooped down to his right almost as soon as Boateng's shot was taken, and then he blocked Boateng's shot with his hand without any suspense!
"Weidenfeller -- he saved! He saved the fourth out of eight penalties! Fifty percent success! That's amazing!"
