Chapter 87 One-on-one
After the game started over, Zhou Yi did not run much, and the feeling was that his physical fitness was really small. He had no other effect on staying on the court except for walking and watching the show.
Even if his teammates pass the football over, he will pass the football over quickly, but instead of running forward, he will walk up slowly.
How can we organize an attack?
Seeing Zhou Yi's performance, Schalke 04's players gradually shifted their attention from Zhou Yi.
Shahin was besieged by more Schalke 04 players.
Originally, in Schalke 04's original plan, after Dortmund replaced Zhou Yi, Shahin was going to become the target of Schalke 04's focus on taking care of.
Although Zhou Yi has not been replaced now, depending on his performance, it is no different from being replaced when he stays on the court. Naturally, he still sieges Shahin as planned.
Shahin struggled to support him while being besieged. At first, he didn't want to pass the football to Zhou Yi because he felt that Zhou Yi's physical fitness was not useful. Although Zhou Yi greeted him, Shahin still had some distrust of Zhou Yi deep in his heart.
But later, I couldn't hold on any longer.
So he finally passed the football to Zhou Yi.
This is the 76th minute of the game.
Generally speaking, in the first team games I played before, 76 minutes was a game time that Zhou Yi had never experienced before, and he was replaced before that.
When Zhou Yi received the ball, he turned sideways and made an action to pass the football to Groschloitz on the wing.
This led Schalke 04's defensive player to turn the center of defense slightly toward that side.
But Zhou Yi shook his ankle and passed the football to Sven Bend, who was behind him.
Then he waved his head left and right to observe the situation around him, and moved horizontally to the other side.
In the process, he asked Sven Bend for the ball.
Sven Bend passed the football back to him.
This time, Zhou Yi gave the football to Kuba with his back to the offensive direction.
Next he turned around and ran forward, still jogging, not fast. He didn't seem to intend to actively participate in this attack.
Kuba took the football and developed on the sidelines, and Barrios also pulled out of the penalty area to pick him up.
After encountering an obstacle, Kuba passed the football to Barrios. After receiving the ball from the wing, Barrios also faced Schalke 04's tight defense, and it was difficult to lead the football into the penalty area. If it was directly crossed, there would be no one in front of the goal. This would be the disadvantage of a single striker.
He had to pass the football back to Kuba.
Zhou Yi was still running forward slowly, not in a hurry.
After Barrios passed the football to Cuba, he quickly inserted it into the goal, and Cuba was also ready to pass the football over.
However, there are two defensive players from Schalke 04 between the two. In addition, Barrios is also surrounded by a Schalke 04 defender, passing the ball in this way is not a good choice.
He happened to see Zhou Yi "walk" coming to the front, so he passed the football to Zhou Yi.
Although Zhou Yi walked up after walking, he did not miss participating in the attack...
When Zhou Yi was catching the ball, he was only one step away from Schalke 04's thirty-meter area.
In this place, Schalke 04's defensive hardness has been significantly enhanced.
Zhou Yi did not intend to fight with the opponent here. After receiving Kuba's pass, he immediately transferred the football out.
He gave another core Shahin who was inserted from behind.
After Shahin took the ball, he did not pass the ball immediately, but protected the football.
After all, his physical fitness is better than Zhou Yi.
While Shahin was protecting the football, Zhou Yi trotted two steps, pulled horizontally and appeared on the other side of Shahin.
Shahin, who was protecting the ball, also found Zhou Yi in the gap, so he passed the football over again.
When Zhou Yi received the ball, he turned his back to the offensive direction. He swept the ball horizontally and swept the ball to Groschloitz.
Groschloitz, who received the ball, did not develop on the wing like Kuba, because it can be seen that Schalke 04's defense on the wing was still very strict. Before, neither Kuba nor Barrios found any opportunity on the wing.
So this time Groschloitz simply moved horizontally to the middle after receiving the ball.
Zhou Yi flashed and let Groschloitz pass through the space in front of him. Then he did not stop and continued to move slowly towards the side.
However, he did not notice his movement at this time, because first of all, he moved too slowly, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to pick up Groschloitz.
On the other hand, it is because the Big Cross was very determined and decisive in the middle, which attracted the attention of almost all Schalke 04 defenders.
Two Schalke 04 players rushed up to block Groschloitz.
Groschloitz had to slow down or he might have hit him.
Barrios raised his arm in the penalty area and asked Groschloitz for the ball.
Behind him was Schalke 04's central defender Bolton, and it was very difficult to turn around and get a shot.
But Groschloitz still passed the football over, and at the same time he ran without the ball, quickly jumped into the penalty area.
He knew that Barrios could hardly turn around when the opponent was close to the defense, so he did not want to assist Barrios, but planned to cooperate with Barrios from the beginning, and then break into the penalty area and shoot.
However, Schalke 04's players are not fools. How could they not be careful when they see such obvious intention to hit the wall?
So immediately, Rakitic followed Groschloitz into the penalty area.
If Barrios passes the football now, there is a high chance that he will be destroyed by Rakitic.
So what should I do?
Just when Barrios was a little confused, he suddenly caught a yellow and black figure from the corner of his eyes.
Just on the right edge of the penalty area, in a corner that was not very noticeable. Zhou Yi ran slowly...come in!
And beside him... there is not a Schalke 04 player!
What are you waiting for?
Isn’t this an opportunity?
Barrios has always enjoyed the assists Zhou Yi gave him, but now it is his turn to repay him!
He passed the football without hesitation!
Instead of passing it to Groschloyz who was rushing towards the middle, he passed the football to Zhou Yi on the corner of the penalty area!
"Zhouyi!"
When the football rolled towards Zhou Yi, Duan Xin shouted excitedly.
Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV was also excited: "What a great opportunity!"
He shouted, slapped his thigh.
Zhou Yi did not wait for the ball on the spot. He was like walking on the court but suddenly started to face the football!
This step was very powerful, not like a person with very little physical strength at all. He rushed to the front of the football in just one step!
Schalke 04's goalkeeper Neuer decisively abandoned the goal and attacked when he saw the football being passed to Zhou Yi. He reacted a little faster than other Schalke 04 defenders.
This bought him about a second. He opened his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and rushed to the football and Zhou Yi, trying to block Zhou Yi and shoot the shot angle.
Zhou Yi, who was facing football, also swung his feet.
At the same time, Groschloitz, who had just stepped forward into the penalty area, also made a pass in the middle in front of the goal. After Barrios suddenly passed the football to Zhou Yi, Rakitic's attention was attracted by Zhou Yi and slowed down, which led to him losing Groschloitz.
However, in Neuer's eyes, he didn't care whether anyone was behind him was in line. As a goalkeeper, at this moment, he only had Zhou Yi who was swinging his legs and the football under his feet!
Neuer fell down and slid out, his hands spreading out, like a hunting falcon that spreads his wings and dives.
As a goalkeeper, Neuer's pounce is not only fast, but also full of momentum!
In the one-on-one process between goalkeepers and offensive players, sometimes momentum is more important than technology. An excellent goalkeeper must have the momentum of moving forward and never returning when attacking. Only in this way can he shock the opponent's offensive players!
I believe that even a world-class striker will be trembling when he sees Neuer who suddenly appears in front of him at this moment...
Not to mention that when Neuer attacked and saved the ball, he did not forget to yell and put pressure on Zhou Yi: "Put the ball"
※※※
"This ball is gone!" Draxler in the stands shouted excitedly after seeing Neuer spreading his wings.
When Barrios suddenly passed the football to Zhou Yi, he was actually very nervous. But when he saw Neuer attacking in time and quickly appeared in front of Zhou Yi to block his shooting angle, his heart that was lifting fell back.
Judging from Neuer's current posture, even if Zhou Yi wants to cross, it will be difficult for football to be touched by Neuer's feet!
Yang Muge next to him did not say anything, but stared at Schalke 04's door with all his attention.
※※※
Everyone focused their entire eyes on Zhou Yi and Neuer, waiting for the final decisive moment to appear.
At this moment, Zhou Yi's swinging foot finally fell and hit the ball.
But he did not draw the middle or lower part of the football, but instead inserted his right foot into the gap between the football and the turf like a shovel.
Then he did not exert force, but fixed it there.
But the football was shoveled up by the upper!
Or more accurately, it was rubbed!
The football jumped up on the spot, drew an arc in the air, and happened to bypass Neuer who was sliding on the ground!
Neuer, who was sliding on the ground, looked up at the football. He opened his mouth slightly in surprise. The roar when he attacked had already stopped abruptly. The remaining half choked in his throat and never made it again.
The eyeball rotates with the trajectory of the football. When the eyeball has reached its limit, the football continues to fly.
As soon as he turned over, his neck turned, and he rushed to continue tracking the flight of the football. Even if he knocked down someone, he didn't care.
His sight finally locked in the football again.
