Zhou Yi did not pass the football forward, but chose to pass it back. Who was the most disappointing person?

Of course, Mainz head coach Tuchel was sitting on the sidelines.

He was just waiting for the rabbit to hit and die on the tree stump.

But unexpectedly, before he was about to hit the tree stump, Zhou Yi suddenly had an emergency brake and turned around and passed the football back.

Tuchel was surprised. Then he saw Zhou Yi keep passing the ball back and even running back. He understood it - the other party saw his tactical intention.

But what if you see it?

Tuchel sat on the coach's seat without even moving her butt.

Even if they can see it, they still have to face their own iron barrel formation. Can they score the goal by keeping the pass back?

This time, Dortmund escaped, but there are still ninety minutes left in the game. He doesn't believe that Dortmund will have such good luck every time in these ninety minutes.

As long as you are patient, Mainz will always seize opportunities.

It's just that I spent more time than I had expected.

Zhou Yi also tried to catch the ball in the frontcourt, but there was always someone around him. With the opponent's close defense and dense defense, it was difficult for him to turn around and organize the attack. He could only choose to pass back.

Zhou Yi felt that it was meaningless to always play back and forth with his teammates in the frontcourt, so he simply ran back and ran, running to the midfielder position, and directly facing his central defenders.

The opponent's close defensive player did not keep up.

Intensive defense pays great attention to the integrity of the defensive formation. In this system, anyone must be in the position they should be, otherwise there will be loopholes.

The people who defend Zhou Yi dare not follow Zhou Yi to keep coming up because they are afraid that they will be taken out of his position and lead to loopholes in the defense line.

So Zhou Yi now has an environment where he can easily control the ball and turn around.

But at the same time, he is farther from Mainz's goal. The further away from the goal, the smaller the threat. This statement applies not only to the forward, but also to the current Zhouyi.

Zhou Yi controlled the football under his feet, looked at the goal in the distance, and had such an idea in his mind - he might have practiced his long passes...

His practice focus has always been on passing in the medium and short distances. He has practiced the most and the best passes in five meters, ten meters, and fifteen meters. However, he rarely practices long passes over twenty-five meters because he rarely uses them in games.

His style of playing football is to pass the ball while running, and he will always run into the air to catch the ball. He is surrounded by his teammates, and the passing distance does not need to be too long. If he wants to transfer the football horizontally, he does not kick the football directly with a big foot, but pass it to nearby teammates while running to the next air to catch the ball, and then pass it to teammates in front, and then run, and use this continuous transmission and running position to carry out horizontal transfer.

Of course, this transfer speed is not as fast as a direct long pass, but Zhou Yi can ensure accuracy, and the football is always within a controllable range. During this horizontal transfer, if you find that there is a time on the opponent's defense line, you can immediately change the horizontal pass to a direct pass, and the football will penetrate directly into the opponent's heart like a sharp knife.

So Zhou Yi never thought about practicing long passes. He felt that he had not yet mastered his passing in the medium and short distances. What else should he consider? His energy and time were limited.

But now, Zhou Yi especially hopes to have a long pass from a cruise missile.

He tried to pass a pass, trying to pass the football directly to Jinchek from behind, but the pass missed and the football was cut off by the opponent's defender.

Zhou Yi immediately decided not to try long passes in this game, otherwise he would give the football to the opponent again and again, which would hit his morale again and again. After practicing the long passes, he would still have to go up now.

When Dortmund scored, Zhou Yi and his teammates cooperated with their teammates to send the ball to the front. When passing through the midfield, the resistance was minimal.

Once they reach the other party's thirty-meter area, they can immediately feel the pressure brought by the intensive defense of Mainz.

Zhou Yi chose to pass the ball. As soon as he passed the football, the opponent was responsible for keeping close attention to him. After Zhou Yi passed the ball, he did not stay in place, but ran to the next response location.

He kept turning his head and looking around while running, observing the situation, and looking for a space where he could pass the ball.

Mark was not idle either, he was still searching for space.

But after a trip, the two of them felt the same - Mainz really took the intensive defense to the extreme this time, but he couldn't find an opportunity to pass the ball and run!

Their defense line formation is very complete, with one place moving, and the entire defense line moving in the same pace and cooperation without interruption.

Such performances can easily remind people of the former Mainz - they gained a foothold in the U19 league based on their defense.

After Tuchel came, the team held high the offensive banner, so that people forget that they actually had defensive genes. Now Tuchel just asked Mainz to pick up the set they were good at...

But this change is indeed surprising. Who would have thought that Mainz, who had been in a prosperous attack before, would turn 180 degrees and play intensive defense?

Zhou Yi could not find the opportunity to pass forward. He could only keep running horizontally and vertically, and then pass back and forth with his teammates in the process. When he could not break through the opponent's goal, he would at least ensure that the football was under his control.

Sometimes, Zhou Yi would pass the football directly back to the back line, and then run back and forth with the defenders.

Mainz players were really calm. Seeing Dortmund fall back and forth in the backcourt, their people just couldn't come up.

Such a game is not good-looking, so Dortmund fans in the stands booed.

But their booing did not allow Mainz to push forward and take a step beyond the center line.

This may be the characteristic of German football, which attaches importance to discipline, so even U19 players can implement orders on the court.

Such tactical discipline may not be seen frequently in the first team, but it appears in this game. This is indeed a severe test for the young people at Dortmund U19. If they can't hold back their anger before the opponent and start to play casually, the mistakes will increase. At that time, Mainz's defensive counterattack will be accurate.

Dortmund's head coach Yebala has already stood on the sidelines to watch the game. He is very worried inside, but now he has no good idea.

The only thing he was grateful for was that Dortmund's rhythm was controlled by Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi is still very calm and does not mean to panic.

Seeing that Mainz players didn't come up, he was not in a hurry. He was still passing back and forth in the backcourt, and there was no intention of playing the football forward.

※※※

In the eyes of outsiders, Dortmund only knows how to fall in the backcourt. This is not Dortmund's style of playing football, but now Zhou Yi is controlling the rhythm of the whole team, so if Zhou Yi wants to play like this, other Dortmund players have to cooperate with him. But this approach is meaningless.

But in fact, Zhou Yi was not idle when he was in the backcourt and was always thinking about how to break the deadlock.

He has considered all kinds of pass methods. Except for long passes that he obviously cannot do now, other methods have been killed in his mind.

Is there no way?

Zhou Yi suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, and he thought of a place that he had always ignored.

Why should you be obsessed with passing?

As long as you can win, won’t it be the same for passing and shooting?

He felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking before, always thinking about how to pass the ball, how to instigate the offense, and eventually assisted his teammates to score.

But I can score points myself!

I'm a striker!

Thinking of this, when the football was passed to Zhou Yi again, he did not continue to pass the ball back, but suddenly turned around and passed it forward.

Xuerle, who had already been a little impatient by Dortmund's seemingly endless backcourt down, was about to come up to cut off Dortmund's backcourt down, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yi turned around and passed by him, making him lose.

Once Zhou Yi passes the football forward, Dortmund plays quickly.

But they will definitely stop in front of each other's thirty-meter area.

Mainz did not take Dortmund's attack seriously, anyway, they just needed to retreat to their own defense.

When he hit Mainz's 30-meter area, Dortmund's attack indeed slowed down.

Gotze had already pulled to the left to get the ball. Zhou Yi passed the ball to him, and he had no good way to go in. If he dribbled the ball and broke through, the chance of failure was very high.

So he passed the football back to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi did not catch the ball. After he just made the action of catching the ball, he let the football pass through between his legs.

Then he turned around and the football had rolled towards Mark.

Mark also pulled out of the penalty area. He had no fixed position and did not say that he had to be in the penalty area.

The football rolled towards Mark, and Zhou Yi also accelerated toward Mark.

When Mark was receiving the ball, Zhou Yi ran to him and had no intention of stopping, so he continued to run forward.

When he ran over from behind Mark, he did not wink or gesture, nor did he speak to remind Mark.

But Mark knew what to do. He knocked the ball directly behind him with his heel, and just passed it to the front of Zhou Yi's running!

Zhou Yi suddenly accelerated and chased the football. The acceleration was very sudden, which made the Mainz players who followed him unexpectedly - Zhou Yi's running was always slow and leisurely, and there were few sudden acceleration and sprints. The players who were used to his previous running rhythm naturally maintained a slow running speed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi accelerated and threw him away.

Zhou Yi, who had thrown away the defensive player, faced the football that was knocked over by Mark and swung his right foot directly!

At the front of the penalty area, he chose to shoot a long shot!

Bang!

Zhou Yi's straight instep hit the football hard, and the football flew towards the goal.

The long shot was very sudden, and Mainz's goalkeeper was caught off guard. He jumped and saved the ball one beat later, so he could not catch the football. He could only watch the football...fly into the goal!

Ten minutes into the game, Dortmund took the lead!

PS, there is something that I have to tell you.

Because there are only six chapters of manuscripts, and from today to the 7th, I attended Qidian's annual meeting in Shanghai, and the typing time is not fixed and there is no guarantee, so in order not to use up any updates to save manuscripts.

I will only be able to update one day for the next period of time.

I can only restore the pace of two updates a day when my manuscript is restored to more than ten chapters.

Actually, I don’t want to do this, but I really have too few manuscripts to save, and I feel very panicked. In order not to let the problem of keeping the manuscripts disrupt my writing rhythm, I had to do this...
Chapter completed!
