Chapter 276: The Last Round
The game went on, as did Klopp and Bouvac's observations of the game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In their eyes, Borussia Dortmund's midfield is running smoothly.
Borussia Dortmund's players don't seem to have any adaptation barriers to whether Shaheen will be the core or Zhou Yi will be the core.
At first, they were a little surprised, but soon they found out that Zhou Yi was really taking the initiative to do what the core should do, and they were willing to cooperate with Zhou Yi. Besides, the other core Shaheen didn't say anything, so what did they have to say?
So they soon passed more football to Zhou Yi, and let the team's offense revolve around Zhou Yi.
When you think about it, it's normal.
After all, during the period when Shaheen was injured, Zhou Yi had always been the core of the single, and the players were very happy and efficient in their cooperation with him.
It stands to reason that before a new core emerges, the coaching staff needs to do a lot of work and practice enough in their daily training sessions.
But Zhou Yi didn't have this opportunity, he was chasing ducks to the shelves. But Zhou Yi's performance was beyond everyone's expectations, and he did a very beautiful job.
He integrated into the team completely seamlessly.
So during the period when Shaheen was injured, Dortmund's results were very good and consistent.
Later, after Shaheen returned from injury, the team went through a very brief period of adjustment.
So in fact, the players are very comfortable with Zhou Yilai as the core.
Seeing this, Klopp has added some confidence to the team's prospects next season without Shahin.
Although I don't understand why Zhou Yi suddenly became proactive in this game and snatched Shahin's command, and Shahin has not said anything yet, but now it seems that the team is functioning normally, and Klopp is less anxious.
Freiburg's game was supposed to be a defensive tactic for Shaheen.
But what they didn't expect was that at the beginning of the game, the core of Dortmund's side suddenly became Zhou Yi, and Shahin was like an assistant!
Now, Freiburg's defensive preparations in the week before the game were all in vain......
And Zhou Yi became very active.
In the 27th minute, he instigated an attack, and after passing the ball to Grosskloitz, Grosskloitz set up Barrios to open the scoring.
Borussia Dortmund lead 1-0 away from home.
Then, through the passing of Zhou Yi and Shahin, Dortmund firmly controlled the rhythm of the midfield at their feet, mobilizing Freiburg to run tired.
Bwach suddenly sighed when he saw this scene: "This is the dual-core I want to see, anyone can pick the lead alone, or they can kick others as a wedding dress, and when they are ahead, the dual-core can also help stabilize the ball...... But alas. ”
What his pity meant, Klopp naturally knew.
After this game, there will be no such duo to be seen.
After half a season of hard work, the newly formed tactics were forced to be suspended due to the team's strategy in the transfer market, which was both heartbreaking and helpless for a tactical coach.
But it can't be helped, German football coaches are different from English football coaches, in Germany, the most responsible football club is the general manager of the club, such as Bayern Munich's Hoeness and Dortmund's Zorke.
In England, it's all about the manager. He has the most crucial transfer rights.

After the break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Freiburg significantly intensified its offensive.
Although they have already managed to avoid relegation one round ahead of schedule, their last game is on their home turf, and they don't look like a defeat to say goodbye to the season.
In the 60th minute, Freiburg striker Idrissu equalized for his team.
Then the two sides fell into a stalemate, and both had opportunities, but they didn't grasp them.
Seventy minutes later, the score was still not rewritten.
In fact, for both participants, this last game is desireless.
Don't fight too fiercely.
Especially in Borussia Dortmund, many people are now thinking about how to go on holiday and where to go on vacation, rather than playing.
So gradually, they were suppressed by Freiburg's more aggressive style of play on the field.
Dortmund adjusted themselves for safety reasons, gradually recovering their defence and ceding space in midfield, while Freiburg took advantage of the win to chase down Dortmund.
It looks like Freiburg is bombing Dortmund indiscriminately.
The stands of Freiburg's home stadium, the Mag Solar Arena, resounded with the cheers of Freiburg's fans, hoping that the team could win Dortmund after a smooth relegation and end the season.
In fact, in Zhou Yi's view, Freiburg was eager to win, they were too pressed, and there were a lot of gaps in the backfield to take advantage of. Especially on the counter-attack after Borussia Dortmund broke the ball.
But that requires accurate long passes.
After all, that's not something that a five- to fifteen-meter pass can solve.
When it comes to long passing, Zhou Yi thinks of the project he has been practicing recently.
Although I have been practicing in the virtual space for more than two months, this is still far from the goal in Zhou Yi's mind.
Originally, Zhou Yi felt that he didn't plan to take the risk of using it before he practiced well.
But now......
With so many opportunities out there, why not give it a try?
Anyway, it's the last game of the league, and the team has no specific goals now, so even if this game is lost, it won't affect the team's standings.
Is there a better opportunity to experiment than this?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to use a long pass to create opportunities, it doesn't matter if he doesn't pass well, if he can pass it well, he will earn it.
※※※
As soon as he thought of it, Zhou Yi got a chance, when Freiburg's attack was intercepted by Sven Bender when it hit the 30-meter area of Dortmund, and then Sven Bender passed the football to Zhou Yi.
As soon as Zhou Yi turned around, he saw the endless space in Freiburg's half......
At the same time, I also saw Barrios at the top.
Because Freiburg pressed very high, even Barrios, who was at the front, was only on the middle line at this time.
After Zhou Yi saw the direction where Barrios was, he directly made a long pass!
It was the first time he had made a long pass over thirty meters in this game!
The direction was right, but the power was a bit great, and Barrios ran two steps and saw that the ball was far in front of him, and he must not be able to catch up, so he gave up running. At the same time, he didn't forget to give a thumbs up to Zhou Yi behind him, signaling that he passed well.
In fact, Zhou Yi's pass was not good, but this is the basic etiquette on the court.
Zhou Yi frowned and shook his head, obviously not satisfied with his performance this time.
Since joining the Green Heirs program and coming to Europe to participate in the recording of reality shows, and now working hard in the first team of Dortmund for a season, Zhou Yi has learned a truth. That is, others can be tolerant of themselves, but he himself cannot be tolerant of himself.
Otherwise, you will be eliminated in this competitive world.
He remembers in his mind how he felt when he practiced long passes in the virtual space.
The way the force is exerted, the angle at which the force is exerted, the part where the ball is touched, and how much force is exerted......
Zhou Yi simulated it in his brain.
Because Freiburg is pressing Dortmund to attack, in fact, Zhou Yi does not have many opportunities to make long passes, and it is impossible for him to squander every hard-won opportunity, but to simulate it in his brain several times first.
※※※
In fact, when Dortmund was pressed by Freiburg to beat the opponent, Shahin's long pass could play a role.
But in this game, Sha Xin did not want to come out to help Zhou Yi, but dutifully completed his task as an assistant, but never crossed the thunder pool by half a step.
On the contrary, he set his eyes on Zhou Yi many times in the game, all with a sense of interest in his eyes.
It seems that he wants to see how Zhou Yi can solve this problem.
In the past, when Dortmund played counterattacks, Zhou Yi ran forward with the football, relying on running to cooperate with his teammates. But then in the counterattack in pursuit of extreme speed, it will seem slower......
At this time, a long pass as accurate as a cruise missile is the most suitable.
Shahin's left foot has such ability, but Zhou Yi does not have this ability with either left or right foot.
In the past, when the dual core was running, this kind of long pass was basically played by Shahin himself, and Zhou Yi was responsible for short- and medium-distance passes, especially short-distance passes.
But next season, after he is not in the team, what will Zhou Yi do with this core?
Sha Xin wanted to see if Zhou Yi had the ability to take the lead.
※※※
After Shaheen and Sven Bender teamed up to cut off Freiburg's attack, the ball was at Shaheen's feet.
In fact, at this time, Shaheen himself can directly play the football in front with a long pass.
But he didn't do it, or he didn't do it in the end, he did pick up his left foot, looked up into the distance, and made enough posture to make a long pass, but when he came to his head, he shook his ankle and dialed the football to Zhou Yi who was not far away.
This is one of the countless passes he has given to Zhou Yi in this match.
Zhou Yi received the ball in a space that was not too big.
Because Freiburg is besieging Dortmund's penalty area, there are many people in the front of the Dortmund penalty area, and it is not easy for Zhou Yi to find a vacancy, and this vacancy will be fleeting.
When Zhou Yi received the ball, the other Freiburg players rushed to Zhou Yi.
There wasn't much time left for Zhou Yi to think and handle the ball.
Zhou Yi's right foot gently flicked the ball to his right, and then, his left foot took a step behind the football, and he went next to the football, at the same time he picked up his right leg, skimmed his right foot outward, and his ankle remained fixed and locked, and pulled it towards the football from back to front.
The front end of the inside of his right foot hit the ball with precision, and the ball took off into the air and flew towards Barrios in front of him.
When the football left his feet, a light lit up in Zhou Yi's mind.
Rhythm!
He felt a rhythm in this pass.
Starting from the adjustment of the right foot to the rhythm of passing the football out at the end, it is very smooth and in one go.
As soon as the football went out, Zhou Yi felt infinite confidence in his heart, feeling that there must be this ball!
His eyes followed the ball in the air and flew towards Barrios.
"Zhou Yi's long pass!" Duan Xin shouted.
