Just a few hours after the Chinese team's match against Jordan, Iraq kicked off in Qatar at 9:45 pm Beijing time.

Because Jordan lost two goals to the Chinese team, they and Iraq only had three goals left.

So as long as Iraq can win more than four goals in this game, it will squeeze out Jordan and advance to the top ten.

In the end, Iraq did not disappoint. They defeated Singapore 7-1 at home and won six goals, with the same points as Jordan. The goal difference was three more than Jordan, and they advanced to the top ten.

But all this has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

I thought the match between the Chinese team and Jordan was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so after the game, Zhou Yi still had time to catch up with the plane back to Germany.

He went directly from the stadium to the airport, and then took a flight scheduled long ago to Germany.

Although Zhou Yi rushed forward, he still missed a league game at Dortmund.

In the 23rd round of the league, Dortmund defeated Hannover 3-1 at home. At that time, Zhou Yi was preparing for the match against Jordan in China, so he was unable to participate in this game.

Dortmund, without Zhou Yi, performed better than in the last round of the league. Dortmund's team used practical actions to prove that the so-called "Zhou Yi dependence" in the media is simply false.

After Zhou Yi returned to Dortmund, due to the fatigue and jet lag of long-distance travel, in the 24th round of the league, Dortmund played against Mainz at home. Zhou Yi did not play, but sat on the bench.

Considering that the key decisive battle with AC Milan was immediately followed, it was natural for Klopp to let Zhou Yi rest.

Dortmund did not disappoint everyone. Without Zhou Yi playing, he finally defeated Mainz 2:1.

Zhou Yi was not replaced until ten minutes left in the game. The purpose was not to win, but to let him find the feeling of the game.

Starting from the 16th round of the league, Dortmund won nine consecutive games, giving them a score of up to fifty-nine points now. And what are Bayern Munich’s points? Forty-eight points.

Dortmund led them 11 points in the league standings!

Such a huge lead makes German media believe that Dortmund can basically lock in the league championship. Unless an accident occurs, such as... Dortmund goes further and further in the Champions League, the better their results in the Champions League, the greater the impact they will be in the league.

But now it seems that Dortmund may be eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals. This depends on their performance in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

※※※

After the match against Mainz, the whole Dortmund team moved to the preparations for the Champions League.

AC Milan also flew to Dortmund the day before the game. The 3:1 score made AC Milan players look quite relaxed when they were interviewed at the airport.

In the 26th round of the Serie A just ended, AC Milan defeated Palermo 4-0 away and was in great shape. In the league standings, they also led Juventus by two points.

At the same time, as their opponent, Borussia Dortmund's core Zhou Yi has not played well in three rounds of the league. Because of participating in the national team, he has missed two games in the last three rounds of the league, and only played a substitute in the third game. In total, he only played ten minutes in three games.

How to keep it in this way?

In addition, he returned to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, running back and forth, exhausted on the journey, and his physical condition and condition must be a problem.

So AC Milan thinks that as long as they don’t make mistakes in this game, it will not be difficult to win Dortmund away.

However, when the game really started, they realized that the situation was completely different from what they imagined...

The core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi, did not feel uncomfortable at all.

His performance on the court is hard to believe that he is the one who has played only ten minutes in the last three league games.

After only five minutes of the game, Zhou Yi gave Fan Bommel a yellow card.

As the team's main defensive midfielder, Van Bomel took a yellow card in the first five minutes, which is really not a good thing.

Some superstitious people may think this is an ominous sign.

Although superstition is unfounded, some things on the football field are this evil...

Two minutes after Van Bommel received this yellow card, Dortmund scored in the seventh minute of the game.

The person who scored the goal was Lewandowski, the team's main center.

And the person who assisted him was Zhou Yi!

"Bortmond led AC Milan 1:0! The goal was Robert" live broadcast Norbert Dicole shouted, and in the stands, countless fans responded to him in unison.

"Lewandowski!!!"

After scoring the goal, Lewandowski ran to hug Zhou Yi.

Commentator He Ping was very happy: "Zhou Yi's condition is in good shape. Although he only played ten minutes in the past three league games and seemed to lack games, he surprised everyone! It seems that he didn't play the league seriously, but instead gave him enough rest... The five minutes of the game gave Van Bomel a yellow card, and assisted Lewandowski in the first seven minutes. Now the total score is Dortmund only one goal behind AC Milan, and there are also away goals!"

Marcel Leif is also analyzing the situation for everyone: "Beautiful! 1:0! Dortmund lags behind AC Milan 2:3 in total, but they have an away goal, so they only need to score another goal and eliminate AC Milan 2:0! At this time, the importance of Zhou Yi's away goal in the last leg was reflected!"

Lewandowski's goal made AC Milan a little confused. They really didn't expect Dortmund to break through their goal so quickly.

This was much beyond their expectations.

What to do next?

When the game started again, the AC Milan team played a little confused. This chaos was not because of the tactics. The tactics were actually clear. If you concede the ball so early, you only choose to attack and strive to score an away goal, offset Dortmund's away goal advantage.

The confusion of AC Milan players comes from their psychology. Dortmund scored seven minutes into the game and the aggressive momentum they showed at the beginning of the first minute of the game, which made AC Milan players a little panicked.

Although they tried to counterattack, their offense was not smooth under Dortmund's tough defense.

Dortmund also paid a price to stop AC Milan's counterattack. In the 13th and 15th minutes, two full-backs Piszczek and Schmelze received a yellow card one after another.

The two defenders received yellow cards, which is actually worse than the one who received yellow cards from Van Bomel, the midfielder.

But Dortmund doesn't care at all.

They are players on the backward side, and they won't think about so much.

For them, if they cannot advance to the next round, it will be meaningless for all the players to have no yellow cards.

In this regard, Dortmund has fewer ideas than AC Milan. On the football field, the more you think, the worse you are. Sometimes the less you think, the better you are.

AC Milan's counterattack after conceding the ball was forced back by Dortmund's tough defense.

Dortmund began to resuppress AC Milan.

And in the 26th minute, Goze dribbled across the penalty area and suddenly shot, and the football penetrated the AC Milan goalkeeper Abiatti's fingers!

"2:0!!! Beautiful job! Gotze!" Marcel Leif raised his arms and shouted. "The total score was 3:3! But Dortmund still scored a away goal! If this score can be maintained until the end of the game, Dortmund will advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons!"

"Geze! This shot is beautiful!" He Ping was also very happy. Dortmund was able to go further in the Champions League, so he could explain more Zhou Yi's games.

The south stand at West**** Stadium was about to collapse after Gotze scored, and the violent vibration would make people think it was an earthquake. But that was just caused by the jumping of the loyal Dortmund fans in the stands...

All Dortmund fans have begun to look forward to their team's next, destroying AC Milan's city at home, scoring more goals, and completely locking in the victory. Then which team will we meet in the quarterfinals?

※※※

The Dortmund players on the court also seem to be beginning to consider their quarter-finals opponents.

When they lost the first round 1:3, many people criticized them fiercely. Yes, they did not perform well in the first round. But now they have proved that they can achieve a reversal without being favored!

This result really makes all Dortmund players feel proud and proud.

But everything is two-sided.
Chapter completed!
