Half a month later, Dortmund ended their training camp in Spain and returned to Dortmund to continue training, after all, the weather in Spain and Dortmund is very different, and they still have to come back to adapt, they participate in the Bundesliga, not La Liga......

During this period of training, Klopp gradually discovered something strange to him - Zhou Yi seemed to have consciously strengthened his shooting training......

This is not common in previous training, Zhou Yi is a midfielder, the main task is to organize the attack, shooting and scoring is not his first task, training time is limited, he will naturally focus on increasing his passing ability, getting rid of the ability, rather than shooting.

So why is Zhou Yi stepping up his shooting now?

After Klopp felt strange, he decided to ask Zhou Yi directly.

Now Zhou Yi is the most important player of the team, the most relied on player, the most important and indispensable player, his every move, the coaching staff is very concerned, and even can't wait to know his every thought.

Zhou Yi was approached by Klopp and asked why he practiced shooting, and he was a little confused - the head coach has nothing to do with this......

He thought it was a trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to be noticed by the manager, and he came to ask him why.

Why?

He can't tell Klopp that it's because he's going to propose to Cortana with a hat-trick, right?

However, this kind of thing has always been difficult to help the wise Zhou Yi.

In the face of Klopp's question, Zhou Yi answered very sincerely: "This, as a midfielder, in fact, I have a lot of opportunities to shoot back in the game, I hope to strengthen my scoring ability to provide more help to the team." The current situation of the team, as you know, the coach needs players to be multi-talented...... If I can score more goals, won't I be able to take the pressure off the team?"

After hearing this, Klopp pondered for a moment and felt that what Zhou Yi said made sense.

After getting a reasonable explanation, Klopp's curiosity was gone, and he just told Zhou Yi that although it was a good thing to think about the team, he should not let himself be too stressed and burdened, after all, his physical health is the first ......

For Klopp's kindness, of course, Zhou Yi sincerely accepted it.

On the afternoon of 25 January, Borussia Dortmund host Augsburg in the first match of the second half of the season.

A day earlier, the second half of the Bundesliga season had already begun, with Bayern Munich beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 away.

Pep Guardiola's side have been as consistent and strong as ever.

Borussia Dortmund's other rivals, Bayer Leverkusen, kicked off at the same time as Borussia Dortmund.

They are away to Freiburg.

Augsburg have had a good season, finishing eighth after 17 league games. However, this team is definitely inferior to Dortmund in terms of strength, so Dortmund fans hope that the team can beat Augsburg at home and do not think that it is too difficult.

As a result, just two minutes into the game, an accident occurred on the court.

Kuba, who started the game, injured his knee in the opening two minutes when he fell to the ground unable to get up, covering his face with his hands and a painful expression.

When everyone saw this, they chuckled and realized that the situation was not good—if it was a minor injury, it would be impossible for Kuba to sit down like this.

The TV broadcast was replaying the slow motion of the Kuba shovel just now.

After his left foot was shoveled out, the right leg supporting his body was subjected to tremendous pressure, and then suddenly, his right leg lost all support, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground......

"Look at it like this, it's probably a knee ......," Marcel Leif guessed. "If it's really a knee, Kuba's injury is serious...... Borussia Dortmund were unlucky, it was the first game of the second half of the season, and it was only two minutes into the game......

The TV broadcast quickly gave Klopp a close-up, in which Klopp spread his hands, but instead of anger and dissatisfaction on his face, he was helpless, as if to say, "What can I do?

Immediately afterwards, the camera gave Yan Min who got up from the bench.

Yan Min was a substitute in this game, and Kuba started, but he didn't expect that he was only on the bench for two minutes, and he was about to get up......

It was probably the shortest bench experience he'd ever experienced......

"Yan Min is going to play, this is really unexpected...... In just three minutes, he only stayed on the bench for three minutes......" Duan Xin also felt that this thing was too magical.

Yan Min, who got up to warm up, was still a little confused on his face, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Kuba was on the sidelines when he was injured, so when he was treated, it didn't delay the game to continue.

Dortmund, who have one man less, did not choose to recycle and defend solidly, but continued to attack.

Reus forced a foul on Augsburg when he broke down the left and Dortmund won a free-kick wide in front.

At the same time, after Dr. Braun's examination, Coopa was carried directly onto the ambulance on a stretcher. Lying on the stretcher, he covered his eyes with one hand, frustrated.

The Dortmund fans in the stands all stood up and gave him a round of applause.

Although Kuba has been replaced, Yan Min is still warming up on the sidelines and has not had time to play.

With one man less, Borussia Dortmund should have slowed down a bit, with this free-kick being a good opportunity to stall for time.

But Zhou Yi didn't do this, he ran to the foul spot as soon as possible, stepped on the football under his feet, and then looked up at the right side of the penalty area diagonally in front of him.

There's a huge void there.

At the same time, Mark Wagner also looked up at Zhou Yi in front, and when he noticed Zhou Yi's action, he immediately realized something.

He turned and ran to the right.

Seeing Mark's running, Zhou Yi took a step back, and without waiting for the Augsburg players to line up the human wall, nor waiting for his teammates to step forward in place, let alone waiting for the referee's whistle to sound, he directly kicked the football to the right side of the penalty area!

"Free kick quick!" Marcel Leif had just been talking about Kuba's injury, but now seeing a new situation on the pitch, he quickly interrupted the previous conversation.

When Zhou Yi kicked the football to the right side of the penalty area and the back point of the goal, Mark also quickly stepped forward and burst into the penalty area!

When the Augsburg players looked back and saw where Mark was, they all raised their arms and thought Mark was offside.

But neither the referee nor the linesman made any indication of this, and the referee simply rushed in, running forward with the football, which means that Dortmund's free kick is no problem, and the referee has approved it!

Completely unmarked, Mark jumped high in the corner of the six-yard box and shook his head to hit the goal!

Augsburg's goalkeeper Hitz dropped the shot, but it was too late and he was caught off guard.

He couldn't keep out Mark's header and the ball flew into the back of the net behind them......

Dortmund fans were just feeling sad and depressed about Kuba's injury, but they didn't expect the surprise to come!

"Oh, oh, !! Dortmund take the lead!

"Mark understands Zhou Yi's intentions!" Duan Xin sighed when he saw the slow-motion replay of the goal, and he saw the scene where Mark and Zhou Yi looked up and looked at each other. "After Kuba's injury successfully attracted everyone's attention, Zhou Yi took advantage of this and launched a fast attack, and the tacit understanding between Mark and Zhou Yi was the key to the goal scored!"

The goal immediately diluted the frustration of the Dortmund fans caused by Kuba's injury, and the cheers at the West** stadium erupted, and Klopp also waved his fists in celebration on the sidelines.

At times like these, scoring goals is especially valuable as it can greatly boost morale and prevent the players from getting depressed by Kuba's injury.

Zhou Yi's quick free kick fully shows his sober-mindedness, when many people have not figured out the situation, he is keenly aware of the opportunity to score and put it into practice.

Mind is also the trick for Zhou Yi to become a world-class midfielder at such a young age.

※※※

The combination of Zhou Yi and Mark brought goals to Dortmund and stabilized the mood of the Dortmund players.

Yan Min then came on the pitch and Dortmund continued to put pressure on Augsburg.

After playing well against Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Yan Min is now playing more and more confidently, daring to completely let himself go on the pitch, giving full play to his strengths, and constantly harassing the Augsburg defence with explosiveness and flexible change of direction.

Every time he performs, he wins the cheers of the fans in the stands.

The current Dortmund fans also like Yan Min as a young man, because he is full of energy and can always give them a pleasing performance on the pitch.

Under continuous pressure, Augsburg's goal was conceded again in the 34th minute.

It was Reuss who scored this time, taking advantage of a direct free-kick to get the ball flying around the wall and into the back of the net.

Two set-pieces gave Dortmund a two-goal lead.

Without Kuba's injury, the start of the second half of the league would have been perfect for Borussia Dortmund......
