Chapter 154 Have you experienced despair?(1/2)
When the fourth goal appeared, there were almost four "..." in the group at the same time.
Everyone watching the game was speechless.
If a game is played like this, they don’t know what to say.
This is already a little beyond what they can accept.
This is true for those who watch football, let alone those who participate in it personally.
That's why Klopp was so angry. He put in so much effort before the game and made such a detailed arrangement, and finally got such an ending?
He doesn't accept it!
※※※
But in the end, regardless of whether Klopp was willing to accept it or not, when the first half ended, the score on the field was 4:0, and the home team Inter Milan led Dortmund with four goals.
"This score is enough to kill the game. The next forty-five minutes is just a process that must be followed for Inter Milan, and it will be a painful torture for Dortmund!" the Italian commentator said with a slight smug look.
Marcel Leif calmly analyzed: "Even if this game is destined to lose, I hope that the boys of Dortmund will not give up on the game in the second half. Even if they can score one or two goals, it is good. In this way, when they need to make a goal difference with Inter Milan, they may be able to play a role... and the loss of 0:4 and 1:4 will give the players a different feeling."
When the players left the court, the TV broadcast gave several players close-up shots.
In the close-up, Inter Milan players all had relaxed smiles on their faces, talking and laughing to the point.
The Dortmund player, with a frown expression, lowered his head and hurriedly got off the field.

During the intermission, all broadcast stations were analyzing the first half, and almost everyone's reaction was "unbelievable".
Because judging from the state and strength shown by Dortmund in the first two Champions League group stages, Dortmund did not perform like a rookie in the Champions League.
Judging from their last few league games, they are in excellent form.
Before the game, everyone thought that this game was evenly matched. Benitez's team might be able to win at home, but it would never be easy to win. Because Klopp's team is very aggressive and tenacious.
But who would have thought that Dortmund was completely defeated just fifteen minutes into the game.
In the end, everyone can only think that this may be attributed to Dortmund's lack of experience in playing the Champions League. After winning two consecutive group matches, they became a little overly optimistic, which led to the players relaxing from the bottom of their hearts.
"...The victory in the first two group matches made everyone ignore that they are actually a real Champions League rookie team. If they want to go further in the Champions League, they actually have a lot of work to do and a long way to go."
At the same time, in the group that "excluding Lao Guo", four partners were also discussing the first half.
"Borthmund's overall strength is still too poor. To be honest, they don't even have a superstar in the formation now..." He Ying insisted that it was Dortmund's weak overall strength that dragged down Zhou Yi. "Although superstars cannot decide everything, in such an occasion, it is still necessary for a superstar who can stand out..."
Sun Pan often sings opposite to He Ying. He Ying agreed to oppose it, and He Ying opposed it, and he supported it. But now, he couldn't even sing the opposite to He Ying. The scores are here, and the scenes are also seen. He Ying said everything makes sense. If he disagrees, would he still say that it was Zhou Yi's responsibility to Dortmund's poor performance in the first half? That is to tell lies with his eyes open.
Yang Muge, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "I just kept thinking, what would I do if I had encountered Zhou Yi's current situation? I didn't think it out, I felt it was simply torment..."
When Sun Pan heard Yang Muge say this, he thought for a while. Then he had a cold war. He felt that this was too annoying: "Fortunately I don't have to experience such torture..."
※※※
Almost every Dortmund player entering the locker room lowered his head and remained silent without saying a word.
This may be the worst first half they have ever experienced. Even if they lost to Bayern Munich 1:5 at home last season, at least both sides would still be 1:1 in the first half. In this game, Dortmund was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back.
They only had two shots in the first half, but they didn't hit the goal frame yet.
Team head coach Klopp was the last one to come in. After he came in, he closed the door to the locker room.
All eleven people appeared in the locker room. The remaining substitutes were warmed up on the court under the leadership of assistant coach Buvac.
Klopp looked at them silent for a minute, and he didn't say a word, and in the locker room he could only hear everyone's ups and downs.
While Klopp didn't say anything, he also looked at every player.
Almost all the players were looking down. But when he saw Zhou Yi, he found that Zhou Yi was also looking at him.
A pair of eyes reflected the lights in the locker room, bright.
He was the only player who dared to look at him even though he lost like this. Klopp felt his heart moved and suddenly asked him: "Zhou Yi, do you have anything to say?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yi seemed very surprised. He didn't expect the head coach to ask him suddenly.
"Come on, stand up." Klopp made up his mind to listen to Zhou Yi's words. He raised his hand and said, "Tell me what you think of this first half. What do you think? How do you feel?"
Mark next to him secretly swallowed, then buried his head a little lowered.
The other players were even more silent, and they all felt that the head coach was very unhappy, so they treated Zhou Yi as a punching bag and wanted to kill the chicken for them to show...
The smartest way to do this is to lower your head and be honest.
But unexpectedly, Mark felt that Zhou Yi beside him actually... stood up!
Is he crazy?!
Mark's heart was about to jump out.
Could it be that Zhou Yi couldn't hear the anger in the head coach's tone?
He really wanted to raise his hand to pull Zhou Yi's clothes and let him sit down, but he was afraid that his move would be seen by the head coach and would become his target for diverting his firepower.
Just when Mark was extremely anxious, he heard Zhou Yi say, "Well, I actually have no opinion."
"Don't have any opinions?" Klopp was surprised and asked back.
Not to mention others, the teammates in the locker room looked up at him with surprise.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yi nodded and repeated: "Yes, I don't have any special opinion. Because I have experienced a game that was worse than this time. And more than one game. Of course, I was not on the court at that time, but I was on the bench. But I completely empathized. It was normal for the opponent to score six or seven goals in one game..."
Gotze touched Mark next to him and asked him in a low voice: "Is it the matter of u17?"
Mark glared at him: "How is it possible? Dortmund's u17 has never lost as badly!"
"That's..." Gotze couldn't figure it out.
Shinji Kagawa looked at Zhou Yi and suddenly knew what he was going to say, because he heard Mr. Tim Kister say it when he was in Japan.
After the conversation started, Zhou Yi simply took two steps forward, stood in the center of the locker room, looked around his teammates, including head coach Klopp, and then asked: "Have you ever experienced despair?"
No one can answer Zhou Yi’s inexplicable question.
Zhou Yi continued: "I've experienced it."
The doubts in everyone's eyes became even stronger.
“There was one game where we conceded eight goals in just the first half.”
Zhou Yi's words caused a small commotion in the locker room, and many people took a breath.
Eight goals were conceded in the first half? Is this possible in a professional game?
This is indeed... quite desperate.
But in fact, Zhou Yi was not talking about this. When he was scored eight goals in the first half, he was actually numb. What really made him desperate was that when he lost to Lamacia youth team again and again in the virtual game, he lost 0:17 in the first game. This was the case in the following dozens of games. It was already very good to lose less than ten games.
The feeling that you can't defeat the opponent in front of you no matter how hard you try. It really makes people desperate and can completely give up on your efforts, and just want to give up.
But he still challenged powerful opponents in the virtual world one after another.
"In the second half, maybe the opponent felt that the game against us was too easy. In short, thank you for your mercy. I only scored four of us, and we lost to them with a score of 0:12. Yes, this is not a professional game, but a youth team-level game, but it is not an insignificant friendly game. We challenged our opponents with the desire to win and score goals... Oh, I forgot to introduce that we were a team composed of under 17 players in China at that time, and I was the only amateur player among them. A student who was still in high school. And our opponent in that game was... Lamacia's u17."
Zhou Yi's tone was plain and he said these words lightly, but many people in the locker room were moved.
Because they all know how strong the U17 in Lamacia is.
"Our strength is hugely different from them, so it's not surprising that we lost twelve goals at all. So I don't think it's a big deal to lose four goals in the first half." Zhou Yi spread his hands and curled his lips, as if he didn't really take the first half of the game to heart.
He then continued: "There is a finale in this story. A month and a half later. When we returned to Barcelona, we defeated La Macia u17 2:1."
After saying that, he turned back to his seat and sat down.
His story was finished, but the people in the locker room fell into silence.

"You guys did a good job!" Benitez's face turned slightly red, this was the blush he showed when he was excited and happy.
Being under tremendous pressure, he urgently needs such a refreshing victory.
When he just took over Inter Milan, he was facing a team that had just won the triple crown. His predecessor not only left a very dazzling honor to this team, but also left a very profound mark on this team.
So you can imagine how Benitez came to this team in the shadow of Mourinho.
He was desperate to break the traces of his ex on this team.
Unfortunately, his actions were criticized and resisted.
And... he was really unconvincing in his results on the court.
After Barcelona won the triple crown, they added three new championships in the second half of the year, thus winning an unprecedented six championship, creating a record of renowned success.
Inter Milan also has such an opportunity to tie Barcelona, making Barcelona less lonely in history.
But unfortunately, Benitez screwed everything up.
After leading the team to defeat Roma and won the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan lost to the League Cup champion Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup. He said goodbye to the honor of the six-champion.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, he was tied by the dead team Twente, which further increased the pressure on Benitez's shoulders.
Fortunately, Inter Milan then defeated Valencia 4-0 at home, turning the trend around.
To be continued...
