Chapter 216 A Gap Is Enough
Schalke's overall offensive efficiency is not high, which is supported by data.

In nearly seven and 10 minutes of the game, there were a total of six shots. Of course, this is barely passable. Dortmund has only seven shots so far, one more than Schalke. It reflects the high confrontation of Derby, but only two of the six shots are on target. , that is, the two times that Weidenfeller made a double attack.In other words, Schalke only had one wave of offensive that really threatened Dortmund's goal.

In addition, the ball possession rate has risen to 59%, and the pass success rate has reached 88%, but none of these can be converted into a real advantage in the scene. It was brushed up.

Generally speaking, the second half was lackluster and there were not many wonderful offensive and defensive rounds, which made fans on both sides somewhat dissatisfied.

I've got my emotions ready, my adrenaline ready, my throat cleared, you show me this?
Dortmund fans booed frantically in the stands, especially the diehard fans in the South Stand. With the intermission of singing "You'll Never Walk Alone", they must have sent all kinds of obscenities to Schalke 04.

"The descendants of lowly coal workers are indeed cowards without eggs, haha!"

"There's absolutely no way you'll get a second chance here, biaos"

"It's an insult to German football that you can win the championship."

Neuer, who was standing in front of Schalke's goal, could completely hear the curses close at hand. He now regrets that he is a goalkeeper, otherwise he could slap these people in the face with a goal.

The Schalke Expeditionary Forces are also somewhat dissatisfied with the team's performance.They all clamored: "Offensive attack! We need to score! To score!"

"Is Magath's goal 0:0? It seems that he still needs to make up lessons to understand what Ruderby is."

"If I knew I didn't score a goal, I might as well watch the post-match news. I was transferred to the late shift. It's really disappointing!"

Fans on both sides do not accept a draw. In their perception, there is no draw in the Ruhr Derby, and a draw is a failure.

At this time, Kuranyi, who was sitting in the box on the field, was in the most complicated mood. He really didn't want to miss this derby. For this reason, he cooperated with rehabilitation after being injured. Even if it is closed, but Lajota rejected it with a serious expression: "If you don't want to miss the entire season, don't have that idea."

Kuranyi was very anxious during most of the watching time. If he had been on the field, the situation would not have been so deadlocked. If Zhou Tiancheng appeared in the midfield he is used to passing the ball to himself, he might have already taken the lead now. ... He really hated the injury on his foot.

But Rakitic, who is mainly responsible for controlling the rhythm on Schalke's side, has only one season of derby experience, so he is not so anxious to win, and only wants to implement the coach's intentions.

In the last 15 minutes, Dortmund's physical fitness was the first to show fatigue.The obvious sign is that captain Kyle's defensive strength against Rakitic has weakened. He can only stand one step away and wait for an opportunity.

Rakitic felt that the pressure was reduced, and he was overjoyed. He accelerated the speed of running and passing, and began to increase the forward passing. This forced Kyle's energy to always follow him, and he could wear down the opponent as much as possible.

Dortmund captain Sebastian Kyle is not yet 30 years old this year, but suffered a serious injury in the 2006-07 season. He collided with Bayern full-back Salihamidzic and caused serious injuries. Injuries turned him into a "glass man" on the court, and his physical fitness is also declining year by year.Kelker had been Dortmund's most solid defensive midfielder until that season.

……

It is not difficult for fans to see that Schalke 04's midfield advancement has become smoother, and Zhou Tiancheng's position has begun to be closer to the forward line, nailing between Hummels and Subotic, suppressing the opponent's entire defense line uplift.

And what about Sven Bender?He breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Tiancheng left his defense zone, and he began to help defend Rakitic.

But Rakitic's long possession of the ball has allowed him to find his form, and he used a light pick to pass Kyle before Sven Bender's defense was in place.

"Oh--Rakitic, it seems that Zhou is the biggest beneficiary of going to play as a striker. It was rare for him to show his extraordinary skills on the court before."

Kyle has no other choice but to interfere from behind, but now he is facing Rakitic who has fully displayed his state and confidence.

……

No. 805 minutes, when there are still 5 minutes before the regular time, it is such a one-on-one midfielder, Rakitic made a gesture to provoke the ball, Kyle in front of him immediately raised his leg, and was passed twice He had already become a frightened bird, and responded with conditioned reflexes, but Rakitic immediately put down his legs, dribbled the ball directly from Kyle and accelerated past, broke through to the midfield, and passed a ground ball about 20 meters away, giving it accurately. At Zhou Tiancheng's feet, Zhou Tiancheng was facing the goal at this time, and just took a step horizontally when Subotic had already defended him as quickly as possible. Zhou Tiancheng was the most skilled big man they had ever seen, so at this time the two Everyone is facing an enemy.

Zhou Tiancheng took a step horizontally with the ball, and the two immediately followed closely, but they paid great attention to the movements of their hands. They still remembered Klopp's repeated warnings: Do not foul near the penalty area.

So when Zhou Tiancheng couldn't find a suitable passing route and was about to swing his leg to shoot, the two stretched out one leg reflexively, Hummels stretched out his left leg, and Subotic stretched out his right leg to form a cross, but both of them Didn't notice a seam under the foot.

Zhou Tiancheng noticed it, and hooked the corner of his mouth, such a slit is enough!
Observing Weidenfeller's position from this gap, Zhou Tiancheng slightly pushed the arch of his foot, and the ball passed under the legs of the two.Roll straight to the goal.

Hummels and Subotic suddenly failed to stop the ball, which gave them a bad feeling in their hearts, and they hurriedly looked back - Weidenfeller had fallen to the left side of the goal, but The speed at which he reached out was still slower than the speed of the ball, and the ball rubbed against his fingertips and hit the snow-white net.

The two were so shocked that they stared at the goal with wide-eyed eyes, unable to speak, and heard Weidenfeller throwing his fists and roaring after getting up: "You two bastards! What are you doing blocking me? I can't see anything! Damn it! !"

The hearts of the two young men in their early twenties were broken.

The situation suddenly changed. At this moment, some players in the stadium were happy and others were sad, and the commentators went completely crazy.
