Champion’s Heart

When Zhou Yi stepped onto the court, the excitement gradually calmed down.

The voices of the fans at the scene could no longer affect him, his pores were closed again, and there was no current from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

His brain is in a calm state.

Captain Kyle ended the pick and Dortmund won the kick-off.

Because there is only one starting forward, Zhou Yi, who is the midfielder, also has to go to the center circle to kick-off. He and Barrios faced each other, and Barrios had a football under his feet.

Zhou Yi did not scan by looking around. The position at this time is meaningless, so there is no need to scan it into his mind.

Wizard, did you dream that I scored a goal yesterday? Before kick-off, Barrios was still chatting with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi smiled: Since I can play, I don't have to dream. Lucas.

Barrios understood what Zhou Yi meant and laughed too.

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Lucas knocked the football into the Nuremberg half. Zhou Yi stepped forward and kicked the football back.

Afterwards, Barrios rushed forward, while Zhou Yi ran back. The two parted ways.

After the football circled around the defense, the formations of both sides were also pulled apart, and the football returned to Zhou Yi's feet again.

This time, Zhou Yi did not lead the defenders back and forth in the backcourt like in the previous game.

After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed the football to Gross Kreutz on the wing.

Then he also ran forward.

Gross Kreutz moved forward with the ball, and when encountering difficulties, he chose to pass the football back to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi then distributed the football to Kuba on the other side.

Zhou Yi had already played many matches against Nuremberg in the simulated world.

He is very clear that the opponent in front of him is actually not strong, and in addition to the away game, their performance will be discounted.

Look at their aggressive recovery tactics after the start of the game,

Then I knew that there was no need to deal with them backwards in my backcourt.

After playing the football to the frontcourt, how to break the dense defense is what Zhou Yi should consider.

In the process of passing the ball and running positions, his neck began to turn again. like radar. Keep everything on the field in your head.

Kuba's development on the wing was also blocked by Nuremberg. He finally chose to force a cross. Barrios failed to grab the point, and the football was pushed out by Nuremberg's central defender Penola. But fortunately, the ejected football did not fall to the feet of the Nuremberg players. Instead, it was intercepted by Sven Bender.

Zhou Yi asked Sven Bender for the ball, and he already knew how to organize the offense.

In this game, because Dortmund only has Barrios as a striker, there are too few points in front of the goal. Crossing is actually not a good choice. However, crossing from the wing still plays a very important role in Klopp's tactics, so Nuremberg will naturally focus on defending the wing. This is why both Gross Kreutz and Kuba were hindered by each other on the wing after the game started.

Nuremberg obviously didn't expect that because of Zhou Yi's appearance, Dortmund's double forwards became a single forward, and there were fewer points in the penalty area. So they are still playing according to the original plan.

Now it seems. Such defense seems to be more beneficial to them.

But what if it changes a little bit?

Zhou Yi already has an idea, but football is a team sport after all. Just being alone is useless most of the time, and someone needs to cooperate with him.

Let's see if anyone else can see the same.

※ ※ ※

Gross Kreuz was on the wing and the ball didn't reach his feet. But he is also observing the situation. He found that the four players on Nuremberg's defense line were relatively wide apart, which may be to take into account the wing defense.

At this moment, Zhou Yi passed the football over.

After Gross Kreutz received the ball, he wanted to open a breakthrough on the side at first, but he found that the opponent's side defense was very strong and it was not easy to break through.

So he was forced to develop horizontally.

Just like in the previous game, when he cut in and dribbled horizontally, in order to avoid being intercepted by the opponent, he passed the football back to Zhou Yi.

After the pass, he didn't continue to go sideways to grab the position with Zhou Yi in the middle, but changed to cut in, intending to run into the penalty area.

This scene is really similar to the previous game. As for Marcel Leff, he couldn't help but say after seeing it: Will Gross Kreutz complete another assist? Will Zhou Yi choose to shoot directly? ?!

Nuremberg has indeed studied Zhou Yi, at least they must have watched Zhou Yi's last game for nearly half an hour.

So when Gross Kreutz passed the football to Zhou Yi, immediately a Nuremberg midfielder Jajs forced him up to prevent Zhou Yi from easily shooting.

But this time, Zhou Yi didn't intend to shoot. He swung his right foot directly at the football passed by Gross Kreuz, turned his ankle across, kept it fixed, and then put it like a golf putter. Football is pushed forward again!

The football went right past Nuremberg's two centre-backs, Penola!

Panola wanted to disrupt Zhou Yi's sudden pass, but due to lack of preparation, he did it too hastily. Instead of touching the football, he fell to the ground!

And Gross Kreuz? After Penola went down, he had little defensive pressure left.

While passing through the Nuremberg back line, he received a football from Zhou Yi. Not offside!

The ball was passed beautifully!! Duan Xin shouted.

Brilliant pass! This is Marcel Leif's shout.

At the same time, there was also a huge cheer from the South Stand.

Amidst their cheers, Gross Kreuz stretched his foot and slid the football forward into the penalty area in one go.

He now only faces Nuremberg goalkeeper Stefan!

For Gross Kreutz, this is an excellent opportunity, he has not scored a goal this season!

Facing Stefan, he swung his left foot, made an arc, bypassed goalkeeper Stefan's ten fingers, and then... flew into the goal!

The ball went in!

Kevin Gross Kreuz!!! Marcel Leif raised his arms and shouted. Only four minutes into the game and Dortmund have taken the lead!

Strike! Strike! In the studio in Beijing, Duan Xin shouted the feeling of commenting the game on the spot. Good shot! What a good shot! Zhou Yi completed his second assist of the season!

Yeah! Zhou Jianliang jumped up from the sofa and waved his fists.

When Zhou Yi's pass passed the fallen Nuremberg defender Painola, He Ying in front of the TV couldn't help but slapped him. At that moment, he thought that if the ball was replaced by himself... How great it would be! As a striker, He Ying knows how good such a pass is.

Ah! Let him show off again! Sun Pan shouted, but with a smile.

From the South Stand, a storm of sound erupted at the Westfalenstadion.

If Norbert Dikle hadn't had microphones and speakers all over the stadium, it would have been impossible for him to suppress the voices of Dortmund fans all by himself.

He shouted: The goal has been scored! We have taken the lead! The goal is Kevin No. 19——!

The fans in the stands chanted in unison: Gross Kreuz!!!

Now the score is—! Dicoll continued to shout.

One! The fans followed suit.

Dicole: Nuremberg—!

Fans: Zero!!

Daddy Bruno and his Black Gold companions cheered for Zhou Yi while cheering for Gross Kreutz's goal.

Zhou Yi passed the ball beautifully! He passed the football without stopping the ball! If it was later, I'm afraid he would have no chance to pass the ball!

Yes, yes, we took the lead in the first four minutes, thanks to Zhou Yi!

※ ※ ※

Gross Kreutz does know who he has to thank, too. So after scoring the goal, he didn't go straight to the corner flag area, but turned around and ran to Zhou Yi, and at the same time pointed at him, inviting him to celebrate the goal together.

Why didn't you shoot this time? Zhou Yi asked when he ran up to him.

Master, how can I bear to see you make another trip for nothing? Zhou Yi said.

Hey! Although he rolled his eyes, Gross Kreutz still hugged Zhou Yi, I still want to say thank you!

The other teammates also rushed up and surrounded the two of them.

Marcel Leif saw the scene of Gross Kreuz and Zhou Yi hugging and said: Gross Kreuz should really thank Zhou Yi, because this is the first time since he transferred to Dortmund. A goal in an official game! He played 14 times in the league before, but failed to score a single goal. Now he has finally broken his scoring drought! And this goal is due to Zhou Yi's decisive and precise through pass!

After celebrating the scoring system on the sidelines, assistant coach Zeliko Bouac said to Klopp: Look, Jurgen. It is right to start Zhou Yi?

Klopp didn't speak either.

Zhou Yi, who started the game, looked exactly the same as Zhou Yi who came off the bench in the last game. The exciting atmosphere of Westphalia didn't seem to affect him at all, and he played as usual.

He is now very sure that he has really picked up a big treasure.

It may be his technical ability and talent level that determine the lower limit of a player's performance. But what determines the upper limit of a player, Klopp believes that it is not the so-called talent, but the psychological quality.

A player with a mature and stable mental quality can often achieve higher achievements than a player with the same ability but poor psychological quality.

In his opinion, the ceiling above Zhou Yi's career is almost unreachable. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
