Chapter two hundred and thirty
Zhou Yi's exquisite assist helped Dortmund take the lead. After the game restarted, everyone was talking about Zhou Yi's pass just now and what happened before that pass - he threw away Alexander Song with a wonderful fake move.
Marcel Leif praised Zhou Yi without hesitation: "In front of the agile Zhou Yi, Alexander Song was like a clumsy elephant! Arsenal's goal loss began when he was recklessly swept by Zhou Yi... In the Premier League, Alexander Song was like a powerful tank, invincible. But when he met Zhou Yi, he was like a pile of broken copper and iron!"
Perhaps it was because Alexander Song was too arrogant before, so Marcel Leif was merciless in hurting him.
The commentator of the British TV station could only shake his head when facing this loss of the ball: "Song swung too hard..."
Apart from that, he didn't know what to say.
Because Zhou Yi's behavior was like a slap on his face, his cheeks were still a little burning and painful.
You know, he had also swear to say before that the thin Zhou Yi would not take any advantage in front of the strong Song, and such a player would not have any great development...
As a result, the thin Zhou Yi sent a wonderful story, while the strong Song was fooled by Zhou Yi!
What a irony!
※※※
Arsenal, who are behind, are not good at making trouble. As a veteran giant, their strength is also very strong.
In the 42nd minute, at the end of the first half, Arsenal got a chance to counterattack. Walcott used his super fast speed to dribble the ball forward, threw away the defensive player, and sent the football to the middle.
Van Persie, who followed up in the middle, pushed the ball into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller and equalized the score.
This goal made the atmosphere at West**** Stadium a little quiet.
Fortunately, the first half ended not long after Arsenal equalized the score, so the morale that Arsenal had just increased was no longer useful.
When the players on both sides left the court, the commentators summarized the first half.
"The first half was quite exciting. Both sides performed well except for their respective levels. The showdown between Zhou Yi and Song was definitely the highlight of the first half. At first, Zhou Yi was crushed by Song's body, but later Zhou Yi began to fight against Song head-on, and then he turned Song Jiao around. Dortmund's goal was created by Zhou Yi after he threw away Song..."
When Marcel Leif said this, the TV broadcast gave Zhou Yi a close-up shot.
In the camera, Zhou Yi was chatting with his teammate Shinji Kagawa while walking down the field. They covered their mouths while chatting, so the camera could not capture their mouths. In this way, experts could not know what the players said by reading the player's lips movements. This is also a trick for players to protect themselves.
So no one knows what Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa said...
However, this is not an important topic. This lens reflects Zhou Yi's ease.
Since assisting Lewandowski to score, Zhou Yi has gained an advantage in the duel with Song. Song was fooled by him, but he had no choice but to use fouls several times to curb Zhou Yi, which eventually gave him a yellow card.
Zhou Yi certainly has reason to be qualified to perform easily with such performance.

During the halftime break, Song was scolded by Wenger, thinking that he was obviously fighting against Zhou Yi in the first half. The loss of the ball actually came from his pounce too hard. But in fact, in that situation at that time, Song didn't need to pounce on it, just beside Zhou Yi and stuck in the position.
As a result, Song rushed forward directly, causing him to rush over, unable to stop, and was easily shaken away by Zhou Yi.
Song bowed his head and said nothing when he was scolded by Wenger.
He felt that he had done nothing wrong, because he had always played like this before. He believed that his aggressive momentum during defense has always been one of his magic weapons to defend, which is to be decisive and not to think too much. If he thinks too much, he may miss the best defensive opportunity.
However, with Wenger's WeChat on the team, no matter how stupid Song is, he will not show his dissatisfaction.
He could only lower his head and secretly make up his mind to show Zhou Yi good luck in the second half and prove that his method was correct.
※※※
The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Arsenal continued their momentum of equalizing the score in the first half and launched a fierce offensive towards Dortmund's goal.
Because of the overall formation, even if Zhou Yi is in the back midfielder, Song can defend him.
His mission is to prevent Zhou Yi from passing the football forward and launching a counterattack.
After all, after Arsenal presses, the space behind them will become very large, which gives Dortmund the opportunity to counterattack.
If Arsenal can block the source of Dortmund's counterattack - Zhou Yi, it can effectively reduce the threat of Dortmund's counterattack.
So Song's task is very heavy, and it is not too exaggerated to say that his performance determines Arsenal's fate.
Zhou Yi could clearly feel that Song seemed more aggressive than the first half in the confrontation with Song De. Perhaps Alexander Song would think that his approach could bring pressure and trouble to him, but for Zhou Yi himself, this was not a bad thing.
In football games, passion is important, but a calm mind is also important.
When Song loses his mind a little, that is his own opportunity.
It will be easier for you to get rid of him.
In the 66th minute of the game, Arsenal's attack hit Dortmund's penalty area again, but Walcott's pass was blocked by Subotic.
The football that was cleared fell to Sven Bend's feet.
Sven Bend quickly passed the football to Zhou Yi.
Song Ye forced him up as soon as possible.
Zhou Yi did not directly raise his foot and stop the ball, but turned around with the football.
Song turned around and looked at everything, intending to break off Zhou Yi's connection with football.
He did successfully block Zhou Yi's body behind him, but he did not block Zhou Yi's feet.
After Zhou Yi gave the football over, he handed his left foot forward, turned his ankle inward, and swept the football that was about to roll over horizontally. The football rolled over from Song, from Song's left to the right.
At the same time, Zhou Yi closed his left foot, turned to the right, and dodged behind Song.
This time, Song suffered a loss of relying too much on his body. He originally planned to use his body to squeeze Zhou Yi away, so he turned and cut across and leaned his body towards Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi wanted to break through in a straight line, he would definitely hit his strong muscle body, and it would feel like he would hit a wall.
But who would have thought that Zhou Yi had no intention of going forward at all, but dodged himself and avoided it!
So Song Xiang's body leaning back lost the force point, his center of gravity was too tilted back, and his feet lacked support, which resulted in a sudden loss of balance!
After Zhou Yi withdrew, he sat on the ground!
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Zhou Yi, beautiful! Hahaha!" He Ping couldn't help laughing, "Zhou Yi used a clever move to dodge Song, and Song fell down like a geese when his butt was coming back, haha!"
Song was still surprised when he fell down. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi was not behind him. His expression was confused when he landed on the ground... His head was once again covered with question marks...
Zhou Yi, who dodged Song, did not continue to dribble the ball. He had already looked at the direction and space and directly made a long pass!
The football flew to the right side of Arsenal's half, where Gotze was rushing forward!
"Zhou Yi's accurate long pass! Mario Gotze is chasing the ball, this is Dortmund's counterattack!" Marcel Lef shouted.
The Dortmund fans at the scene also gave deafening cheers because they have seen the future!
The football landed from the air and hit the grass. It did not accelerate and rushed forward, but slowed down, and the distance and speed of the forward rushing were significantly reduced.
This just gave Goce the opportunity to catch up with football. After all, Goce is not the kind of player who is particularly fast, so he can run away and run hard.
Two steps later, Gotze caught up with the football, then cut inside, leading the football to Arsenal's penalty area.
His incision attracted the attention of other Arsenal players, and the Arsenal defense line, which had limited numbers, immediately adjusted its defense focus here.
After successfully attracting the opponent's defensive attention, Gotze passed the football directly to the middle, giving Lewandowski who was in line!
"Lewandowski—"
Amid Marcel Lef's yelling with a long voice, Lewandowski stopped the ball, then gently tweaked the ball to the outside with his right foot, took a step forward, and shot!
The football drew an arc and bypassed the Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesni's fingers and flew into the goal again!
"The ball is in - it's - it's!! Lewandowski - he scored twice!!"
The cheers from West**** Stadium quickly rose to its peak!
"The long pass from Zhou Yi was launched, a textbook-like fast counterattack! Dortmund took the lead again!" Of course, He Ping had to focus on Zhou Yi's contribution, but to be honest, Zhou Yi did make an indelible contribution this attack.
Without his wonderful escape and decisive and accurate long passes, there would be no counterattack that resulted in a goal.
Chapter completed!
