When the coaching bench at Real Madrid was quiet, in the Dortmund coaching bench next door, Klopp hugged and celebrated with the people around him, he did not continue to be happy, but turned his attention to Zhou Yi on the court.

During the warm-up stage before the start of the game, Zhou Yi observed Casillas' unstable reception of the high ball, and then told him the situation and then told the whole team.

So if you actually have to make a contribution to this goal, although Hummels scored the goal, the one who made the most contribution was Zhou Yi.

The reason why Zhou Yi chose to send the football into the penalty area with a high kick was probably because he wanted to take advantage of Casillas's weakness of receiving the high ball.

He really took advantage of it.

It is a blessing for him and Dortmund to have such an excellent player.

However, the better Zhou Yi performed, the more uncertain Klopp was about how long Zhou Yi could stay here.

With his performance, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Dortmund to retain him.

Originally, when last season was about to end, Klopp had similar ideas, but at that time this idea was not as strong as it is now.

Moreover, due to Gotze's sudden departure and Lewandowski's insistence on going to Bayern Munich, Dortmund lost two generals in a row, and Klopp would never let Zhou Yi leave no matter what.

At that time, Zhou Yi did not propose to transfer, as it seemed to consider the team's difficult situation at that time.

So he completed the contract renewal with the club.

But if you renew your contract, will you stay?

Klopp wouldn't be so naive.

He stayed to help Dortmund with a perfect transition, and then what?

What other reasons are there to ask him to stay?

emotion?

To be honest, this is the most powerless.

Zhou Yi does not owe Dortmund anything. He has brought this team an unprecedented honor, including four consecutive seasons of league titles, a Champions League champion, a Club World Cup champion, a European Super Cup champion and a German Cup, and a German Super Cup... These are all obtained by Zhou Yi after he played in Dortmund.

He gave Dortmund so many honors, and it was not true to use his feelings to keep him. With Klopp's understanding of Zhou Yi, this young man usually thought it was easy to talk to, but in fact he had his own ideas in his heart and was very firm. If he made a good decision, he would not be shaken easily.

This is someone who knows clearly what he wants to do and how he does it.

There are so few young people who have such abilities among them today.

How could he stay in Dortmund so young, only twenty-three years old?

In fact, Dortmund is already very lucky to have him for five seasons. If he hadn't gone to Barcelona to convince him by himself, he might have gone to Arsenal or Barcelona...

In addition to feelings, Dortmund lacks persuasiveness in more practical money. Dortmund's financial resources are not as good as Bayern Munich. Klopp doesn't believe it, which is too unreliable.

honor?

Zhou Yi has already won all the honors he deserves in Dortmund. What else is he who has not won in Dortmund? Is the Deutsche Telekom Cup?

So everyone around was celebrating this lead excitedly, but Klopp suddenly felt a little sad and sad. He had a premonition that he was going to lose such an excellent player...

Dortmund's players ended the goal celebration and jogged back to their half.

Real Madrid players have been waiting for them in their positions.

Although they were depressed by losing the ball first, they did not defeat them.

Especially after Ancelotti let them watch the video of Dortmund's game at home playing Atletico Madrid, everyone should have this understanding - being scored by Dortmund is not unacceptable and incredible.

The key is not whether to lose the ball or not, but what to do after you lose the ball.

How to do it?

Of course it's a turnaround!

Through the previous attack, Real Madrid can find that Dortmund's defense line is not a solid piece of iron, and Dortmund's defense line without Subotic can also be regarded as a remnant lineup.

Papastasopoulos's frontal defense and air defense capabilities are not bad, but his biggest problem is his tall and big horses and slow speed.

But Real Madrid is not short of fast players.

For example, the three players in the BBC group are all very fast players.

When the Dortmund player returned to his position, the referee Quepes blew a whistle and the game started again.

Real Madrid launched a fierce offensive against Dortmund's goal.

Considering the issues on Dortmund's defense, the Real Madrid midfielder led by Modric gave up the approach of passing and controlling, and chose a simpler and more direct approach, using more straightforward passes to hit the Dortmund's defense behind, and then fully utilized the speed advantage of the offensive players in the frontcourt.

Real Madrid did play like this.

This style of play is more suitable for them. After all, since the Mourinho era, Real Madrid has established a fast attack style. Ancelotti continued this style and made some adjustments. But overall, this style has not changed. Real Madrid's current staffing configuration is also very suitable for this style of play.

Faced with the simple and crude impact of Real Madrid, Dortmund's difficulty in defending has increased and looks a bit embarrassed.

Where is the embarrassment reflected?

In the 37th minute, Dortmund full-back Pisczek made a fatal mistake when passing back in the backcourt. His passing power was too small, and Gareth Bale intercepted the football with speed and then drove the ball forward!

Cheers and cheers from Real Madrid fans were heard at Stadium Light.

Bale broke through straight and threw away the defensive players, but Dortmund's back line also responded quickly. He immediately formed a line of defense in the penalty area and bet on Bale.

Despite this, Bell has a great opportunity.

He dribbled the ball to the penalty area line, and both of Dortmund's defenders approached him, so he didn't care about Real Madrid players in other positions.

In fact, Benzema had already reached the point of leaving at this time, and there was no Dortmund player around him.

But when Bale faced two Dortmund defenders intercepted, he chose to shoot with his left foot.

As a result, during the high-speed running, he had no way to stabilize his body well and complete the shot. In the end, the shot was slightly hasty and slipped out of the door...

"Bell shot—Oh! He was off! This is a great opportunity!"

"He should have passed it to Benzema. Benzema ran out of time, but he didn't see it..."

"Bell's chance wasted is too bad!"

There was a sigh in the commentary seat.

He Ping breathed a sigh of relief, feeling scared just now.

Zhou Yi also noticed the trouble the team is currently facing.

Real Madrid obviously needs to raise the rhythm, so many Tymonds have to do everything possible to prevent them from succeeding. They have to slow down the rhythm.

When Dortmund was in possession of the ball, Zhou Yi changed his previous approach to playing against Real Madrid and began to pass the ball.

Force slow down the speed with more cross-passes and back-passes.

However, Piszczek made a mistake in the return pass just now, which will somewhat affect the mentality of some Dortmund players, including Piszczek himself, when passing the ball and down, and lack confidence.

In response to this situation, Zhou Yi kept running, responding to his teammates, and using his steady reception and passing to improve his teammates' confidence.

Under his leadership, the Dortmund players' hearts finally settled down and the passing was more stable.

However, Zhou Yi naturally became the target of Real Madrid.

In the 44th minute, when Zhou Yi passed the football, he was kicked to the ground by Khdira.

Referee Quepes blew his whistle and paused the game, then showed Khedira a yellow card.

Some people on the Real Madrid coaching staff on the sidelines were dissatisfied with this.

But there is actually nothing to be dissatisfied with. If you are dissatisfied, you should be dissatisfied with Khdira.

As a defensive midfielder, before the first half was over, he received a yellow card. How should he play in the next half?

Zhou Yi, who was kicked to the ground by Khedira, did not get up immediately, but lay on the ground with his calf in his arms for a while. It was not until the referee finished playing cards for Khedira and asked him if he needed a stretcher after the record was finished. He waved his hand and slowly got up from the ground.

When he got up and the game resumed, the regular time of the first half was over.

Two minutes after injury time, referee Quepes blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

"The first half ended! Dortmund led Real Madrid 1-0 in the first half with Hummels' header!"
Chapter completed!
