Chapter 436: Flames
After Zhou Yi filled in the answer, Klopp on the sidelines also made his choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Let the team shrink defensively......" he told assistant coach Bouque.
"Understood. Bouist nodded and was about to go to the sidelines to deliver the order, he was a little anxious because the current situation is very unfavorable for the team, and it is difficult for anyone to concede three goals. At this time, if the team's thinking is not unified and people's hearts are unstable, it is not uncommon to concede another goal in a short period of time.
However, as soon as he got up, he was stopped by Klopp: "I haven't finished yet." ”
"Isn't it a solid defense?" Bouache wondered.
"It's about defending solidly first, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Klopp said.
Bouist looked at Klopp with some surprise, this is the case, he is still thinking about scoring away goals?
"0:3 and 1:3 are completely different, Gerlico. Klopp looked at him and said.
"Okay, but I don't think we should risk attacking without a good chance......" Bouacchi said.
"Don't worry, in terms of timing, Zhou Yi's kid is more accurate than all of us. Klopp smiled.
He can still laugh when he is three goals behind, maybe only when he talks about Zhou Yi......
Bwach was soon on the sidelines yelling and waving his arms to get Jurgen Klopp's latest tweaks onto the pitch.
He first waved his hand to the team to recover, which is what defense meant, and then he pointed to his temple, which is not the meaning of staying calm, this action may mean that everywhere, but not in Dortmund, within Dortmund, this action represents a special meaning - listen to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi is Dortmund's brain, so pointing to the action of the brain is to listen to Zhou Yi's meaning.
This is also a kind of code.
If Zhou Yi's name is shouted directly, I am afraid that the opponent will also know what Dortmund is going to do.
Despite this game, Zhou Yi was a bit disappointing when he was closely watched by other AC Milan players such as Van Bommel and Boateng.
But within Dortmund, they know that the more times like this, the more they should trust Zhou Yi. Because this kid ...... It cannot be taken by common sense.
After Bouácki's baring and clawed roar, everyone saw that Dortmund began to recycle in the face of AC Milan's aggressive attack, which was a clear defensive signal.
However, commentators around the world who broadcast the game had mixed reviews of Klopp's choice.
'Borussia Dortmund are starting to shrink their defence and obviously they don't want to concede any more goals. AC Milan was crazy in this game, maybe it was going to be a slaughter...... Shrinking the defence and stabilizing the back is the right choice......"
"It wasn't long before the second half started, and Dortmund were going to pull it all in, do they think they can hold on for 40 minutes against an in-form AC Milan side?"
"I think Dortmund should be brave instead of defending, press out and attack, surprise AC Milan, and maybe disrupt the rhythm of the opponent. It's much better than a passive shrink defense. And maybe you can score another goal while you're in trouble...... And the scores of this game are like this, Dortmund is more than lucky. Anyway, if you want to die, it's better to choose to die bravely than to be suffocated to death......"
Everyone has their own interpretation and opinion about the game, and if they are put in a studio, they will probably be able to quarrel.
Fortunately, Dortmund still maintains unity within the body, the players are used to it, and when they don't know what to do, they just listen to Zhou Yi's command, and his presence can make everyone think less about a lot of problems and focus more on dealing with opponents.

Zhou Yi was given high hopes in this way, and on and off the field, the eyes of all his teammates would fall on him, forming an invisible pressure.
However, Zhou Yi didn't care about taking on this kind of pressure, his performance was no different from before, constantly shaking his head to observe the game.
At the same time, the brain is running at high speed, analyzing the form of the game and thinking about countermeasures.
Obviously, the current situation of AC Milan is not a small good, but a big good, and in a good situation, almost every AC Milan player will want to be more involved in the attack, be the icing on the cake, and score in the Champions League.
Especially...... Boateng.
Zhou Yi has played against Boateng many times in the simulation game, and fully understands what kind of player Boateng is.
Unlike his younger brother, who played as a centre-back at Bayern Munich, he did not choose to play for Ghana instead of football. From this choice, it can be seen that this person is not going down the ordinary path.
In fact, Boateng is an attacking midfielder who has a strong attacking force. However, in this game, he was arranged by Allegri to defend Zhou Yi with Van Bommel, of course, Van Bommel is the main defensive force, and Boateng's job is more to assist.
This may be because Boateng has the advantage of strength, which can bring a lot of pressure and trouble to Zhou Yi.
He's actually doing a pretty good job, but it's hard to get such an unruly character to defend.
But Zhou Yi knew that Boateng should be unwilling to defend himself all the time.
Because there is a flame called "Attack" in his heart that is burning all the time, like lava in the center of the earth, and it will erupt when the right time comes.
In the first half, Boateng opened the scoring for AC Milan with a long-range shot.
This shows that Boateng's offensive feeling in this game is very good, but later in order to limit Zhou Yi, he sacrificed ...... In other words, I suppressed my desire for this aspect.
But now that AC Milan have a three-goal lead, so to speak, what else can stop Boateng from turning and attacking?
At such times, curbing Zhou Yi becomes less important.
And in this way, Zhou Yi can also get a relatively relaxed environment, he does not require that there is an AT force field around him, no one can get close to a radius of five meters, as long as there is a slight gap, he may be able to create opportunities.
If some people don't perform well in the game, it can mean that he is not in good shape in this game, then he may not play too well in this game, and it will even affect his psychology.
But Zhou Yi is not such a person, no matter how his own performance is, this will not affect his mood, and it will not have any inevitable impact on his next performance...... It's not ashamed to say it's ugly, and it's a big heart to say it's good.
Although Zhou Yi's performance in the first half of this game could not be described as "good", Zhou Yi did not lose his cool.
He waited patiently for the flames in Boateng's heart to erupt.
The heat and flames could have been the impetus for Boateng to take off, or it could have burned Boateng before he could take off.
It's a probable thing, but it's worth a shot.

As Zhou Yi analyzed, after taking a three-goal lead and Dortmund shrinking the defense at the same time, Boateng's position is getting higher and higher, and sometimes it can't even be said that he is a striker, but simply a striker......
His addition to the attack did put a lot of pressure on Dortmund's defence.
Boateng, Ibrahimovic, plus Robinho, who was in good form in this game and scored twice, for a while, Dortmund's goalkeeper was in a hurry.
In the stands at the San Siro Stadium, cheers rose and went, and AC Milan fans seemed ready to celebrate the goal.
Although Zhou Yi was pushed up and became a forward midfielder, he still often retreated to defend, even Lewandowski came back, Dortmund really recovered all the way, hoping to withstand AC Milan's rapid offensive in the rest of the game.
"As I said, it was wrong for Dortmund to recycle so thoroughly so early. This handing over possession will only make AC Milan's attack more unscrupulous, and how long can Dortmund's defence survive this red-black storm?"
"Even if Dortmund has the intention of counterattacking, now that their formation is compressed so far back by AC Milan, it is difficult to fight back......

Boateng completed another burst from inside the box. However, this kick was too positive, and he was hugged by Weidenfeller.
Weidenfeller, who hugged the football, raised his head, and was the first to find Zhou Yi, his gaze crossed the dense crowd in the penalty area, and saw Zhou Yi outside the penalty area, and he was also looking back at himself.
The two men looked at each other, and Zhou Yi ran sideways while making a gesture for him to throw the football over.
So Weidenfeller made an arrow and threw the ball out with his hand.
The ball flew high above the heads of everyone in the penalty area and flew to the side where Zhou Yi was running.
But at this time, by Zhou Yi's side, there was also an AC Milan player - Van Bommel.
Although Boateng's inner offensive blood could no longer be suppressed, Van Bommel still followed Zhou Yi inch by inch, faithfully executing Allegri's tactical instructions.
While running with Zhou Yi, he also used his physical advantage to constantly squeeze Zhou Yi, so that he had to fight with himself, and all his energy had to be focused on maintaining balance, and it was difficult to concentrate on receiving and controlling the ball and passing the ball.
In such a situation, Zhou Yi let alone pass forward to counterattack, it will become difficult for him to even stop the ball.
However, this is made up by outsiders according to what they have seen, in fact, for Zhou Yi, after Boateng is not around, the pressure he faces is actually much less.
Of course, there won't be too many opportunities, not too good, but it's better than no chance at all, right?
Who says you have to stop the ball before you pass it?
Zhou Yi accelerated to the side, and even gave up the football behind him. But just when he was about to miss the football, his right foot suddenly lifted back, and a scorpion swung its tail forward, knocking the flying football forward with his heel!
The football flew from behind him and Van Bommel to the front, straight in front of Shinji Kagawa!
It's a no-man's-land for AC Milan's half-time blockbusters!
