Chapter 131 Unexpectedly

It was obviously a home game but was behind, which was a blow to Valencia.

While Klopp was applauding his disciples, Emery was thinking about countermeasures.

In order to curb Zhou Yi, he kept the formation compact, and there was no problem.

The only problem is that Zhou Yi's ability to find space is too powerful, and his occasional negligence can allow him to seize the opportunity to send such a fatal pass.

Now it seems that although the space is compressed, it is not enough.

After the game restarted, Emery had not made a decision. The players on the court could only play according to the previous arrangement.

During this period, Dortmund, who had just scored a goal, was in a high morale, and the players were in better shape than before, and they dared to make moves and fight.

The result was that Dortmund gradually suppressed Valencia on the scene.

And several consecutive attacks threatened the goal guarded by Cesar Sanchez.

Valencia was very passive during this period and was completely suppressed by Dortmund on the scene.

The Spanish commentators kept calling for danger.

"Valencia seems to be losing the ball in a short time! In that case, this game will be difficult!"

Fortunately, Emery made a quick decision and still had the previous defensive strategy, but it was more aggressive when defending Zhou Yi and several of Dortmund's main offensive players. The chapter on the 未嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗嗗�

In the past, after Zhou Yi received the ball, Valencia's players rushed over. After adjustment, Valencia's players rushed towards Zhou Yi with the football.

Zhou Yi just received the ball, but the opponent staggered from the ball. He had the opportunity to pass the ball forward, but finally turned into a return pass. Because only by ensuring that the ball is not lost, any other method requires more adjustments. At that time, the opponent had already snatched the ball.

For security reasons, Zhou Yi can only send it back.

Groschloitz and Gotze who were in front of the wing ran away in vain.

Zhou Yi had no choice. The referee would call a foul, but what's the use of playing? He didn't play the cards, and Valencia had interrupted Dortmund's offense anyway, and the purpose was achieved.

Because Zhou Yi is the midfielder on the court, most of the time he gets the ball in the backcourt, Valencia's foul is also here. It is too far from their goal, so it is hard to call it a threatening attack blocked by a foul. In such a foul, as long as it is not a foul with particularly bad circumstances such as shoveling people behind the back, elbow strikes, etc., the referee generally will not give cards.

Zhou Yi has no choice but to do this. Of course, he would not want to exchange his serious injury for the opponent's red card. Wouldn't he be mentally ill?

It is the most important thing to stay on the court. As long as you can stay on the court, you will make contributions and end up. No matter what the reason is, everything that happens on the court has nothing to do with you.

Now it seems that he is very restricted by the opponent's foul tactics. He seems to be able to pass back and cross over, but Zhou Yi never thinks there is anything wrong with doing this. He is just waiting for an opportunity in his heart.

When he was unable to send a deadly pass forward, Zhou Yi would not be in a hurry. He would do his job as a midfield conversion hub and pass the balls passed by his teammates to other teammates. It was that simple.

In a football game, it is impossible for a midfielder to be a fatal pass that can create a shot opportunity.

What is important is mentality and you cannot be angry with these small actions of the other party.

If a midfield commander loses his calmness and rational judgment on the development of the situation, he is not worthy of being a commander, because he is so blinded that he will only bring his team into the ditch and move towards destruction.

So although his passes are always interfered by the opponent, and his organizational offense is always interfered by the opponent with fouls and small movements, when the live TV broadcasts the close-up of Zhou Yi, no one can see a hint of anger and dissatisfaction on his face.

At most, he would spread his hands to the referee, which was helpless and a civilized protest.

Although Emery's tactical adjustments do not quite match everyone's definition of "beautiful football", they are very effective.

Dortmund's arrogant arrogance just now immediately restrained.

Valencia, who stabilized the situation, began to think about equalizing the score, and they didn't want to enter the midfield with a goal behind.

You know this is at their home court!

However, just as Valencia had some ideas and started to counterattack, their control in the midfield defense decreased accordingly.

The chains tied to Zhou Yi's body were slightly loosened, and Zhou Yi immediately made a beautiful straight pass forward. If Groschloitz's shot was not above the crossbar, Dortmund would have led two goals in the 41st minute.

Although they did not concede the ball, Dortmund's attack sounded the alarm for Valencia again, making them realize that the danger had not passed.

So Valencia then returned to her previous state, first of all, ensuring that she did not concede the ball, as for scoring goals, etc., then consider it later.

In this way, the first half of the game reached the end in a stalemate.

The referee blew the whistle and the game ended.

Valencia's players walked off the stadium with some depression.

※※※

During the fifteen minutes of the break, Klopp praised the team's performance, but also asked the players to continue to focus in the second half and not be complacent just because they are leading one ball now.

"I have to remind you again, guys, this is the Champions League. You know what this name means, it is completely different from the usual league. In the league, you may think it is safer to lead a goal in the first half, but in the Champions League, it may turn from leading to falling behind in minutes. The opponents here are not easy to deal with, so be careful when you play twelve points."

At the same time, on the other side, Valencia's head coach Emery is making detailed tactical adjustments, which is much more detailed than the few casual yellings he had on the sidelines.

Mainly on offensive improvements.

As for defense, Valencia can already do a good job of curbing Zhou Yi in the last stage of the first half.

The key to the problem is that after curbing Zhou Yi, there is no extra energy to attack.

This is not possible. If this continues in the second half, even if the goal is not lost, the score behind 0:1 cannot be rewritten.

Still have to attack.

To this end, Emery asked everyone to run more and faster.

In addition, when changing offense and defense, you should be highly focused. The loss of the ball is actually because the team was distracted in the continuous offense and defense conversion and was caught off guard by Dortmund.

After the intermission, both sides returned to the court.

The second half of the game began.

Valencia faithfully carried out the tactics the head coach arranged during the halftime break.

While they were defending Zhou Yi very closely, they also actively strengthened their offense.

However, Klopp is not a vegetarian either, and he also made corresponding adjustments during the intermission.

The opponent is obviously focusing on Zhou Yi now. Then don’t let Zhou Yi organize the attack, let Shinji Kagawa retreat a little, let Goce lean a little towards the middle, and they can also send a deadly pass.

What about Zhou Yi? Positioning becomes a scheduling that controls the rhythm, but there is no need to make the last pass.

This adjustment worked quickly because Valencia focused her defense on Zhou Yi and lacked care for other Dortmund players.

In the 69th minute, Zhou Yi retreated to the back line to ask for the ball, widened the distance with Valencia's player. After receiving the ball, he turned around and sent a twenty-meter pass, and found Shinji Kagawa who was retreating.

After Shinji Kagawa stopped the ball, he passed the football to Gotze who came to pick him up, and then turned around and ran forward. Gotze sent the football out, and the two made a two-pass and one cooperation.

After receiving the ball, Shinji Kagawa pretended to shoot from a long time, but he gave the football to Barrios, who was flexibly running.

Barrios shot on the edge of the penalty area, and the football drew an arc, bypassed the goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez's fingers and flew into the goal.

2:0!

"The ball is scored! Beautiful goal!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly. "Bortmond leads two goals in the away game!"

"Good ball! Barrios scored twice!" He Ping shouted, "Although this ball was not directly assisted by Zhou Yi, he initiated it! After receiving the ball, he decisively found Shinji Kagawa, and took advantage of Valencia's defense not yet timely adjusting the center of defense to Shinji Kagawa..."

As a qualified Chinese commentator, the most basic quality is that no matter who scores the ball or who assists, you must find an angle to praise Zhou Yi.

And because of Zhou Yi's outstanding performance, even if you brag like this, no one will be disgusted.

After scoring the goal, Barrios and Shinji Kagawa hugged each other. Zhou Yi in the backcourt was also hugged by Sven Bend, and the two ran to the frontcourt with other players to participate in the celebration.

It was unexpected to watch Dortmund players wearing yellow jerseys celebrate at Mestalia Stadium.

Before the game, everyone thought that Dortmund, who participated in the Champions League for the first time after seven years, lacked experience and challenged Valencia away. It was a good result to not lose. Klopp should adopt a relatively conservative tactical strategy away.

Unexpectedly, Dortmund's performance was shocking and he looked at him with admiration.

Instead of conservative, they insisted on their own style of play, and instead led Valencia two goals away! (To be continued.)
