Chapter 191: A Man Who Won't Give Up Easily

At the end of the intermission, on the way from the locker room to the court, Gotze came to Zhou Yi's side: "Hey, Zhou Yi, why haven't you been replaced?"

Zhou Yi held his head high and snorted triumphantly: "Didn't I say it? The head coach attaches great importance to me! Or do you think that all those trainings are just to torture me?"

This time, after hearing Zhou Yi's words, Ge Ce did not roll his eyes, but fell into silence, and even his pace slowed down unconsciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he heard Zhou Yi say this for the first time before, he thought that Zhou Yi was joking and bragging.

But again and again, after he combined what he saw in his usual training with Zhou Yi's words, his heart began to waver.

Now in this game, everyone was replaced at half time, but Zhou Yi stayed on the field, which is simply the "ironclad proof" that proves Zhou Yi's words!

Now Gotze probably doesn't believe it, but he has to believe it.

Zhou Yi didn't notice the change in Gotze, he stepped on the court with a beautiful vision for the future, ready for the second half of the game.

At halftime, Chinese reporters gathered to discuss Zhou Yi's performance in the first half, speaking in their native language.

"No, you did a great job!"

"What's more, it's just outstanding!"

'Yes, yes, it's clear how important he is in this Borussia Dortmund midfield, and his team-mates trust him and are happy to pass the football on to him...... I think this is the most important thing, and the actions of my teammates show that Zhou Yi has earned their trust and support. This is very important for Zhou Yi to integrate into the team......"

"That assist is really beautiful, have you noticed Zhou Yi's running? It's normal to run forward after passing the ball, many players will choose this way, but in fact, it will make you fall into a dense defense. Zhou Yi did the opposite, using a feint to open up a gap for himself...... Tsk, that's smart!"

"In the previous "Green Reality Show" program, didn't Hao Dong say that Zhou Yi is a player who plays football with his brain? This evaluation is very accurate. I think our Chinese football lacks players like Zhou Yi who play with their brains!"

Everyone was full of praise for Zhou Yi's performance in the first half. In the warm-up game, basically a player only plays half a game, so now they can score Zhou Yi's performance, in their hearts, if ten is a full score, Zhou Yi's first half can be played at least 8.5 points.

Some journalists have even begun to work on the manuscript they are going to write in their heads.

But what surprised them was...... Zhou Yi actually appeared on the court wearing a jersey, but did not change his clothes and sat on the bench!

What does that mean?

He's going to play the second half?

But look at the Dortmund players who started with him in the first half, and now they are all sitting on the bench!

The Chinese reporters were surprised, but also happy – to see more of Zhou Yi's performance, and they were naturally happy.

※ ※ ※

After the start of the second half, Zhou Yi wanted to play like the first half at first, but after only ten minutes, he felt that he was a little powerless.

When the Wolfsburg players saw that Zhou Yi, a Dortmund player who was active in the first half, was still on the pitch, they naturally regarded him as the object of their care. In order to prevent him from continuing to instigate threatening attacks, as long as Zhou Yi gets the ball, at least one Wolfsburg player will rush up, and more often, two people.

Zhou Yi had to mobilize all his strength to fight against them physically, and try to keep the football under the opponent's close press.

Most of the time, though, he failed, and he was knocked to the ground and lost possession.

Some of the referees will blow for a foul on Wolfsburg, and some will fall to the ground and the referee will not do anything because it is a reasonable collision.

Soon Zhou Yi felt a little out of breath, in the past few minutes, his energy was used to fight against the opposing players, and he couldn't organize the attack well at all.

Thankfully, Dortmund still have a commander on the pitch. Shaheen controlled the team's attacking tempo, so that Dortmund would not know how to attack after Zhou Yi was restrained by the opponent.

Later, Zhou Yi had to speed up the speed of handling the ball, but he could pass the football out as fast as possible, but he couldn't run to the empty space as fast as possible and shake off the opposing players who were marking him.

Because he's bored.

Only ten minutes into the second half, he felt a little unable to run, which shocked Zhou Yi - he didn't perform like this when he was in the youth team!

He didn't perform like this in a simulation match in the virtual space!

※ ※ ※

"Zhou Yi seems to be ...... Can't run?" assistant coach Bwach also saw Zhou Yi's current predicament.

Klopp nodded: "Of course." ”

"Are you going to replace him?"

"No, wait. To Bouac's surprise, Klopp shook his head and rejected the suggestion to replace Zhou Yi.

"But he couldn't run. ”

"If you can't run, you can walk, Gerlico. ”

Bwach didn't understand why Klopp said that.

But Zhou Yi, who was on the court, seemed to think the same way.

Because he's really starting to walk around the field!

This kid is really going to walk until the end of the game......

Klopp saw this scene off the field and complained in his heart. It seems that he really wants to win the game with himself.

But...... Even if you go, I'm afraid you kid won't last long.

For the bet with Zhou Yi, Klopp is sure to win.

※ ※ ※

Shahin noticed that his midfield partner was much less active, and after he passed the football to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi directly passed it back to him, and then stood where he was, not moving forward.

The Turkish teenager saw that Zhou Yi's physical strength was almost exhausted - he couldn't run.

So Shaheen passed the football to the other side, thinking to himself that maybe the manager would replace him soon.

In fact, it is already very good that he was able to hold on for so long before being replaced. There's nothing to regret about being replaced at this time.

Next, Shahin was very careful and tried not to pass the football to Zhou Yi, with his current physical condition, giving the ball to him would cause the team to lose possession. And such a problem would not have been to worry about when Zhou Yi was physically energetic......

But almost five minutes passed, and there was no intention of making a substitution on the sidelines.

Shahin was a little strange - what was the coaching staff thinking? Didn't you see Zhou Yi's physical fitness was no longer good!

He looked to the sidelines, where Klopp stood like a sculpture, with no intention of changing people.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Yi again, and the kid was slowly pacing on the court with his hands on his hips.

Shaheen couldn't figure out what was going on in the manager's head.

※ ※ ※

When Shaheen received the ball again, he habitually wanted to distribute the ball to the side, but at this time, he suddenly heard Zhou Yi's shout from behind him: "Nurui, here!

At the same time, the corner of Sha Xin's eyes swept to the figure of Zhou Yi running up.

Can this kid run?

Seeing that Sha Xin was a little hesitant, Zhou Yi shouted again: "Give me the ball, I have no one to watch!"

Shaheen woke up from a dream and passed the ball over.

Zhou Yi still passed the football after receiving the ball, but unlike the previous few minutes, he continued to run forward after passing the football out!

※ ※ ※

"Huh?" Klopp, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but let out a surprised mutter. "This kid has physical strength again?"

There was a round of applause among the Chinese reporters outside the stadium.

Zhou Yi had been walking on the court before, and they really thought that Zhou Yi would be replaced in a few minutes.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi was not only not replaced, but also rushed up again!

※ ※ ※

Zhou Yi is speeding forward, his body is like a smartphone with a dead battery, constantly using soreness, fatigue and difficulty breathing to warn his brain that the battery is too low and will be shut down.

But Zhou Yi ignored this, and just opened his mouth wide, like a fish starved of oxygen, dying and trying to jump from the dry riverbed into a small puddle.

As he ran forward, the ball went back and forth between the Dortmund players before falling to Kuba's feet.

When Kuba got the ball on the wing, he was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to cross or break through, there was a Wolfsburg player in front of him who was stuck with him, if he wanted to break through, it would not be so easy, the success rate would not be high, and there was a great possibility of conceding the ball.

But if the cross is ......

Kuba also felt that Nelson Hedo Valdés was alone in front of goal, and the point was not very good, and a direct cross did not pose much of a threat to the Wolfsburg goal.

At this time, Zhou Yi also saw the predicament that Kuba was facing, and he turned to Kuba, who was already unable to run, and shouted at the same time: "Kuba!"

The sound of his voice almost made him breathless.

Kuba turned his head and saw Zhou Yi running towards him, and at the same time made a move to pass the ball to him.

Zhou Yi's ability has been undoubtedly reflected in daily training, and Kuba does not doubt whether Zhou Yi can take on the big responsibility, and he does not hesitate to pass the football over.

Zhou Yi's sudden forward attack completely disrupted the Wolfsburg defense - Zhou Yi had not been considered in their previous defensive plan, because Zhou Yi had been walking for several minutes and could not threaten the Wolfsburg goal at all. So when Zhou Yi ran forward, the players in Wolfsburg didn't notice him at all.

So now when Zhou Yi suddenly received the ball at the front of the penalty area, there was not a Wolfsburg player by his side!

After Zhou Yi received the ball, the Wolfsburg players didn't know whether to rush up to defend him, because they all remembered how Zhou Yi assisted Barrios to score in the first half, didn't they just use them to rush up to defend the space behind him?

And Zhou Yi, who received the ball, did not want to continue to carry the ball inside, and at a little outside the arc of the big penalty area, he directly picked up his right leg!

Long shot!

In the case of no one marking and grabbing, Zhou Yi calmly completed the action of shooting, just like in the team's shooting training, his right foot outside the instep of the ball sturdy and sturdy in the middle and upper part of the football, the football against the turf rushed forward!

Zhou Yi's shot was very sudden, and the previous Wolfsburg players were on guard against his passes, and Hedo Valdés was the object of their attention.

Even Wolfsburg's veteran goalkeeper Andre Lenz, who was substituted in the second half, unconsciously set his sights on Valdés.

But just when he shifted his attention to Valdés, Zhou Yi got up and shot!

By the time he noticed this and turned his gaze back again, it was too late!

The football passed through the players of both sides in front of the penalty area and appeared in front of him!

Lenz fell to the ground, but the ball fell to the ground, bounced and leaped forward in front of his hand...... Skimmed past the tips of his fingers and into the goal!

※ ※ ※

Klopp's eyes widened as he stood on the sidelines, and at this moment his mind suddenly came to the scene when he first saw Zhou Yi playing.

In the second half of the match between the Chinese team and the Dortmund youth team, Zhou Yi, who had been running for dozens of minutes in the game, was almost out of gas.

Just when everyone thought he was useless, he suddenly hit the wall with his teammates in front of the Dortmund penalty area, entered the penalty area, and then sent the football into the goal of the Dortmund youth team!

What a situation it was then!

How did I forget about this stubble - this kid is not a person who will give up easily!
