Just a few hours after the match between China and Jordan, at 9:45 p.m. Beijing time, Iraq's match against Singapore kicked off in Qatar. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Jordan lost to China by two goals, their goal difference advantage with Iraq was only three goals.

Therefore, as long as Iraq can win Singapore by more than four goals in this game, it will squeeze out Jordan and advance to the top 10.

In the end, Iraq did not disappoint, beating Singapore 7-1 at home, earning six goals and the same number of points as Jordan, while having three more goals than Jordan to advance to the last 10.

But all this has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

I thought that the match between the Chinese team and Jordan was at four o'clock in the afternoon, so after the game, Zhou Yi still had time to catch the plane back to Germany.

He went straight from the stadium to the airport and then took a long-scheduled flight to Germany.

Although Zhou Yi hurried to catch up, he was already absent from a league game in Dortmund.

In the 23rd round of the league, Dortmund defeated Hannover 96 3:1 at home. At that time, Zhou Yi was preparing for the match against Jordan in China, so he was not able to participate in this match.

This time, Dortmund's performance without Zhou Yi was better than the previous round of the league, and the whole team of Dortmund proved with practical actions that the media's so-called "Zhou Yi dependence" is completely false.

After Zhou Yi returned to Dortmund, due to the fatigue of long-distance travel and jet lag, in the 24th round of the league, Dortmund hosted Mainz, Zhou Yi did not start, but sat on the bench.

Considering that the crucial decisive battle with AC Milan will follow, it is only natural that Klopp should let Zhou Yi rest.

And Dortmund did not disappoint everyone, and finally defeated Mainz 2:1 when Zhou Yi did not start.

Zhou Yi was not substituted until there were ten minutes left in the game, and the purpose was not to win, but to let him find a feeling for the game.

Since the 16th round of the league, Dortmund have won nine consecutive games, giving them a whopping 59 points now. And what are Bayern Munich's points? Forty-eight points.

In the league standings, Borussia Dortmund are eleven points ahead of them!

With such a huge lead, the German media thought that Dortmund could basically lock up the league title. Unless there is an accident, such as ...... Borussia Dortmund are further and further away in the Champions League, and the better they are in the Champions League, the more they will be affected in the league.

However, it now looks like Dortmund will be knocked out of the Champions League last-16 – depending on their performance in the second leg of the quarter-finals.

※※※

After the match against Mainz, the whole Dortmund team turned to the preparation of the Champions League.

AC Milan also flew to Dortmund the day before the game. The score of 3:1 made the AC Milan players look quite relaxed when they were interviewed at the airport.

In the just-concluded 26th round of Serie A, AC Milan only defeated Palermo 4-0 away from home, and they were in great form. In the league standings, they are also two points ahead of Juventus.

At the same time, as their opponents, Borussia Dortmund's core Zhou Yi has not played well in three league games, because of his participation in the national team, he has missed two of the last three league games, and the third game is only a substitute, and he has only played ten minutes in total in the three games.

How do you keep it in shape?

Coupled with the fact that he went back to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, running back and forth, and the journey was tired, his physical condition and condition must also be a problem.

Therefore, AC Milan feel that as long as they do not make mistakes in this game, it will not be difficult to win Dortmund away.

But when the game actually started, they realized that it was not what they had imagined......

Borussia Dortmund's core Zhou Yi did not show up at all.

His performances on the pitch are hard to believe that he has only played ten minutes in his last three league games.

Only five minutes into the game, Zhou Yi allowed Van Bommel to receive a yellow card.

As the team's main defensive midfielder, Van Bommel was shown a yellow card in the opening five minutes, which is really not a good thing.

Some superstitious people may still think that this is a bad omen.

Although there is no basis for saying that superstition is such a thing, there are some things on the football field that are evil......

Two minutes after Van Bommel received the yellow card, Dortmund scored in the seventh minute of the game.

The scorer was the team's main centre-forward, Robert Lewandowski.

And the person who assisted him was Zhou Yi!

"Borussia Dortmund leads AC Milan 1-0! it was Robert who scored—" shouted Norbert Diccol on the live broadcast, and countless fans in the stands responded with a chorus of shouts.

"Lewandowski !!"

After the goal, Lewandowski ran to hug Zhou Yi.

Commentator He Ping was very happy: "Zhou Yi's condition is very good, although he has only played ten minutes in the past three league games, and it seems that there is a lack of games, but he has surprised everyone......! Van Bommel received a yellow card in the opening five minutes, assisted Robert Lewandowski in the opening seven minutes, and now Dortmund is only one goal behind AC Milan on aggregate, and there are away goals!"

Marcel Leif is also analyzing the situation for everyone: "Beautiful! 1:0! Dortmund is behind AC Milan 2:3 on aggregate, but they have an away goal, so they only need to score one more goal, 2:0 to eliminate AC Milan!

Lewandowski's goal left AC Milan a little stunned - they really didn't expect Dortmund to find their goal so quickly.

This was a big surprise to them.

What's next?

When the game resumed, the whole AC Milan team played a bit chaotic, this confusion is not because of the tactics, the tactics are actually clear, conceding the goal so early, there is a choice - attack, try to score an away goal, offset Dortmund's away goal advantage.

The confusion of the AC Milan players comes from their mentality. Borussia Dortmund scored in the opening seven minutes and the aggressiveness they showed from the first minute of the game to the point where the AC Milan players panicked.

Although they tried to counterattack, their attack did not advance smoothly under Dortmund's tough defense.

Borussia Dortmund also paid the price in order to stop AC Milan's counterattack. In the thirteenth and fifteenth minutes, in just two minutes, two full-backs, Piszczek and Schmelzer, received a yellow card.

The yellow cards for the two defenders are arguably worse than the yellow cards for Van Bommel as a midfielder.

But Dortmund didn't care.

They're players on the back side, they don't think about what they have.

For them, if they can't advance to the next round, it doesn't mean anything if they don't have a yellow card at all.

In this regard, Dortmund thinks less than AC Milan, and on the football field, the more you think about it, the worse it is, and sometimes the less you think about it, the better it is.

AC Milan's comeback after conceding the goal was forced back by Dortmund's tough defense.

Borussia Dortmund began to re-press AC Milan.

And in the 26th minute, after Gotze dribbled horizontally outside the penalty area, he suddenly shot with his feet, and the football penetrated the ten fingers of AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati!

"Well done 2:0!! Gotze!" Marcel Leif shouted. "3:3 on aggregate, but Dortmund still have an away goal! If the score can be maintained until full-time, Dortmund will qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the second consecutive season!"

"Gotze, this ball is beautiful!" He Ping was also very happy. Borussia Dortmund can go further in the Champions League, and he will be able to explain more of the game.

The south stand of West**** Stadium was about to collapse after Götze's goal, and the violent shaking would make people think that there was an earthquake. But that was only caused by the jump of the die-hard Dortmund fans in the stands......

All Borussia Dortmund fans are already looking forward to their team's next move, beating AC Milan at home, scoring more goals and sealing the win. Which team will we meet in the quarter-finals?

※※※

The Dortmund players on the pitch also seem to be starting to think about their quarter-finals opponents.

When they lost the first leg 1-3, they were heavily criticized. Yes, they didn't do well in the first leg. But now they've proven that they can turn things around without being favored!

This is a result that all Borussia Dortmund players will be proud of.

But everything has two sides.

When the game resumed, the Dortmund players, who were still basking in the joy and excitement of equalising the equaliser, soon found that the opponent in front of them seemed to be different......
