Chapter 463: What to Do?
Messi was standing in the penalty area, already with the football in place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info as if the chaos and hustle and bustle behind him had nothing to do with him, he just looked at the goal, as if in a daze.
Zhou Yi didn't go up to the referee, because he knew that it was useless, and the decision made by the referee was impossible to change.
He set his sights on Messi's back.
Barcelona's number 10 stood in front of the ball with his hands on his hips, waiting for a penalty.
If nothing else, there is a good chance that the penalty will fly into the net and Dortmund will go from a draw to a trail.
Such a situation, to be honest, he has encountered it in virtual competitions. After all, it's Barcelona's home stadium, and if they are allowed to have some home advantage, it's not a surprise to take a penalty or something.
But......
He searched his memory carefully and it seemed that Dortmund had never won a game since Barcelona had won the penalty and scored.
That said, for Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona's penalty in this game is a must-lose.
This is evidenced by a large amount of head-to-head data - although it is all virtual data, but these virtual data are based on the analysis of real data. In other words, the results of this data analysis are based on facts, not made up.
In the face of such data, Zhou Yi has a different understanding.
He always thought that data was a reference thing, but it didn't decide anything.
Because data is a summary of the past, not a predictor of the future.
The probability of Dortmund losing away to Barcelona in the past is 100%, and it does not mean that the probability of Dortmund losing away to Barcelona in the future will be 100%.
Every future is new and random, and even if there is more evidence that Dortmund will lose to Barcelona away from home, it doesn't mean that it will happen.
So under what circumstances does this happen?
In a situation where you are so frightened that you raise your hands in surrender because of the past 100 percent data.
Zhou Yi did not intend to surrender.

No matter how dissatisfied the Dortmund players protested, they could not change the decision made by the referee.
After manager Jurgen Klopp was sent off and Subotic was shown a yellow card for protesting, they had to accept the result.
Players from both sides gathered outside the penalty area and watched Messi's back.
Weidenfeller was on the back guard at the goal line.
The referee blew the whistle, Messi ran and then shot with his feet.
Weidenfeller pounced to the left, but the ball flew to the right, and he was completely deceived.
Half a second later, the ball hit the net and the Camp Nou was filled with loud cheers.
"Messi takes the lead !! Barcelona!2:1!And now Dortmund has one less man!" GolTV's Hodson climaxed again. Messi's performance in this game once again proved why he is the best player in the world! What kind of difficulties the team faces, he can always stand up and force!
I felt like I was almost crying......
※※※
After the goal, Messi and the Barcelona players excitedly ran to the bottom of the stands to celebrate the goal with the Barcelona fans in the stands.
The Borussia Dortmund players, on the other hand, were a bit distracted.
The 1:2 scoreline gives them little advantage in their away goals.
"Barcelona took the lead with a penalty kick and Dortmund were in trouble...... Chinese commentator He Ping said in a low tone. Zhou Yi's luck was indeed too bad, he met Real Madrid last year, and this year he met the defending champion Barcelona.
With Dortmund's strength, as long as they don't meet these two teams, they can definitely go further in the Champions League, but these two teams have overcome them and let them meet.
※※※
After Barcelona celebrated, he returned to his own half, the TV broadcast kept the close-up camera firmly aimed at Messi, and GolTV's commentator Hodson was still praising Messi, and all kinds of beautiful words popped out of his mouth, making the audience wonder why he was able to find so many flattering words, and even Messi's fans felt a little blushing when they heard it, and in front of this professional "Mei Blow", even brain-dead fans were ashamed of themselves......
Marcel Leif is worried about Dortmund's fate: "With one less centre-back, they are behind the scoreline, Dortmund are in dire need of adjustment, but their manager has been sent to the stands, it is almost ......"
He's right, Dortmund is chaotic right now. The players don't know what to do anymore.
When the score is down, are we going to attack?
But when we attack, will Barcelona score more goals?
But if we defend, how can we equalize?
Now that there is one less person at centre-back, who will go back to the top for the time being, until a substitution?
All sorts of problems arise in everyone's mind, but they are not solved.
At this time, Zhou Yi suddenly spoke.
He ran up to Sven Bender, pulled him and said, "Sven, you withdraw for the time being and make a cameo at centre-back." ”
Then he slapped his hands and shouted to his players: "Don't be passive, we have to keep the football under our feet!"
After the goal, there was a huge cheer at the Camp Nou, which is now much quieter, after all, the voices of the Barcelona fans also need to rest.
And at this relatively quiet time, Zhou Yi's voice appeared a little abruptly.
In addition to goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who was too far away, the Dortmund players who gathered near the center circle and were ready to kick off all heard Zhou Yi's voice. The Dortmund players, who were still depressed and a little at a loss, all looked up at Zhou Yi at this time.
Zhou Yi raised his voice and continued to shout: "Pass the ball up! Pass the ball quickly! Think about how we train these days! Everyone runs! Anyway, it's only more than 20 minutes, use up all your physical energy!"
Hearing his words, many Dortmund players had a light in their eyes.
yes, how did we forget about it?
Why is the "little black house" that we have been practicing for almost a month?
Remember what Klopp said?
- This is the secret weapon to defeat Barcelona!

After Jurgen Klopp was kicked into the stands, the man in charge of the team became assistant coach Jerrico Bouácchi.
He knew he had to make a substitution right away, and he made that adjustment, telling Filipe Santana to warm up before the penalty was even kicked.
But on the question of who to replace, Bwach couldn't make up his mind for a while.
If a central defender is sent off, it stands to reason that he should not replace any defender in order to strengthen the defense, in that case, what is the point of replacing a central defender and then replacing a defensive player? Under normal circumstances, an attacking player will be replaced at this time, at the expense of the attack, to stabilize the defense.
But the current situation does not simply mean this. Because if you replace an attacking player, you will weaken the strength of the attack. And now Dortmund is still one goal behind, weakening the attacking force, what is the difference between this and suicide?
But what if you don't replace the attacking player and maintain the attacking momentum, and replace a defender, what if the opponent scores another goal before the equaliser?
Bwach wasn't sure to pay attention.
In the past, it was Jurgen Klopp who took the idea, he was the one who made the choice, and if Dortmund won because of it, then he enjoyed the praise, and if he failed because of it, he had to bear all the criticism.

By the time Bouas couldn't make up his mind, things had changed on the pitch. Sven Bender dropped back to centre-back and made a cameo appearance at the back.
In the midfield, Zhou Yi and Gundogan formed the back.
It stands to reason that this midfield combination is not as tough defensively as Sven Bender and Gundogan. Barcelona only need to step up their attack to be able to blow up this defensive combination in midfield.
After Barcelona attacked, they faced Dortmund, who were shrinking across the board. Once the ball changes hands, Barcelona will not retreat to the half, but will start an active siege directly in front.
This kind of siege, combined with the momentum of their goal, was enough to make Dortmund feel overwhelmed and make mistakes. And they took advantage of Dortmund's mistakes to directly threaten Dortmund's goal.
But when the ball did change hands, everyone found that the situation was not quite what they had imagined.
Messi, who was in good form, burst into a cold shot from outside the box, and the ball grazed the outside of the post and flew off the line, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller was unable to touch the football.
Borussia Dortmund won the goal kick.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, however, did not directly kick the ball in front of him - many teams do this when facing Barcelona, on the one hand, hoping to attack directly in front of the goal and avoid entanglement with Barcelona's strongest midfield. On the other hand, it is considered that even if the offense can't be played, it can keep the football away from your goal by opening your big foot directly, so it is safer.
But this time Dortmund didn't.
They chose what was considered the most unwise thing to do - short passes.
Anyone who knows that Barcelona are good at tackling up front would not think that the goalkeeper's short pass off the ball is a good thing.
But now Dortmund is doing just that.
The football was quickly passed to Zhou Yi's feet.
Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund, and he will naturally be taken care of by Barcelona. As soon as the football reached his feet, the Barcelona players pressed up.
But the football had just reached his feet, and he passed it out again.
This is normal, Zhou Yi often plays like this, he is to avoid the habit of playing on the field by defensive players.
But then, a little bit out of the blue, it was the rest of the players at Dortmund.
After they receive Zhou Yi's ball, they will quickly pass the football out as soon as possible. It's very fast, and the key is that it's accurate!
It's not the same as before.
The speed and accuracy of the pass are inversely proportional, and the faster the pass and the catch, the less accurate it is. It's not just for Borussia Dortmund, it's pretty much the same for any team. That's why Pep Guardiola's Barcelona caused such a stir when they came out, because Barcelona can pass the ball quickly and accurately.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that they usually pass no more than 15 meters away, and the closer they are, the more accurate their passes are.
Barcelona's ability to pass the ball with such fluidity is based on their football philosophy that they have adhered to for more than two decades. So they can do it.
But why can Dortmund?
When the Barcelona players went ahead as planned, they found it difficult for them to snatch the football.
Although many of Dortmund's passes are short passes of no difficulty.
But they were able to guarantee that they kept the ball at their feet through passing, which was really amazing.
In the face of Barcelona's siege, Dortmund's players did not look like they had just conceded the ball, they were calm and composed, and they used to pass back and forth to lead Barcelona's nose to run.
And Barcelona's players struggled to grab the ball no matter how much they cried around.
This scene really stunned many people.
That includes Borussia Dortmund assistant coach Bouist Bouácz on the sidelines.
