Chapter 280 German Blitz
When Dortmund kicked off, Zhou Yi did not stand in the middle circle because he is not the front midfielder now, so he doesn't have to go in and participate in the kickoff.
Dortmund's kickoff was completed by forward Lewandowski and front midfielder Shinji Kagawa.
Zhou Yi stood outside the middle circle, waiting for the football to be passed over.
As the referee whistled, Lewandowski knocked the football out, and Shinji Kagawa followed and turned around and passed the football back.
The football really fell at Zhou Yi's feet.
When Shinji Kagawa passed the football back, Goze started running forward.
However, at first hesitated and looked back, he found that Zhou Yi did not pass the football directly, but continued to pass it back, knowing that Zhou Yi wanted to leave enough time for himself. So he did not dare to neglect, no longer looked back at the situation behind him, and began to accelerate forward.
After Zhou Yi pushed the football back, he quickly looked back at the front and saw Goce running back.
So he turned around again and signaled Subotic, who was receiving the ball, to pass the football to himself.
Before the game, Zhou Yi greeted Subotic, and Subotic immediately passed the football back.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, he did not turn around and pass it forward, but passed it horizontally to Sven Bend.
After kicking the football out, he quickly turned his head and looked ahead and determined Gotze's position. At the same time, although he did not look at Sven Bend, his hand had already made a pass to Sven Bend.
When Sven Bend passed the football to him, his head had turned back and he happened to see the football rolling towards him.
He raised his foot to catch the ball, and completed the turn.
After Dortmund kicked off at this time, including the pass that Shinji Kagawa gave Zhou Yi, he only had five passes in total.
Five passes, the time is no more than six seconds.
For a ninety-minute game, six seconds is just a very short moment.
What is this very short moment doing?
Barcelona's attacking player had just moved to the 30-meter area of Dortmund. Fabregas planned to come up and attack Zhou Yi, cut off his ball, and then launch a direct attack.
But just as he rushed up, Zhou Yi, who was holding the ball, suddenly made a long pass and kicked the ball straight towards Barcelona's defense line, or to be precise, it was the gap behind Barcelona's defense line!
The football crossed all obstacles in the air, like a precisely guided missile, flying towards the space behind the Barcelona back line.
Six seconds is enough for a player who is not well-known for his speed to bypass the defensive player, cross several defense lines, and arrive at his destination.
While the football was flying in the air, Gotze passed through a space between Barcelona central defenders Mascherano and Alves.
He broke through the formation and became the leader!

"Mario Gotze!" exclaimed Marcel Leif.
Valdes originally wanted to attack, but he hesitated just now - Zhou Yi passed the ball very terrible. Although it was a strong long pass, he controlled the football's landing point very accurately. After the football landed, it was outside the penalty area and it would be closer to Goze, so Goze would be taken earlier by him.
Of course, it is not impossible if Valdes insists on attacking, so he rushed to Gotze in one breath to block his shooting angle.
But Valdes paused for a moment, and this pause gave Goze the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Gotze, who rushed through the back line, turned around and saw that the football had fallen to him, so he adjusted his pace and prepared to catch the ball.
He lifted his foot and removed the football in the air, stopped the ball perfectly, and the football landed directly in front of his body!
"Getze's beautiful stop! This stop is awesome!" Marcel Leif couldn't help but praise.
In this kind of counterattack, an excellent stop is almost half the success of the goal.
Gotze stopped the ball and looked up to observe Valdes.
Valdes was just at the penalty point at this time, and he was in a very embarrassing position - he wanted to continue rushing forward? There was not enough time and the distance was too far. Before he could rush to Gotze, the opponent might just drop the ball and retreat. This increased the angle of Gotze's shot, allowing him to calmly shoot...
After only a little hesitation for half a second, Valdes chose to attack - he retreated halfway through the attack. It was so stupid. He didn't want to make such an amateur mistake. So at this time, it was like a pawn crossing the river. Valdes could only move forward, not backward.
He rushed towards Gotze.
After Gotze observed Valdes' position, there was only one voice in his mind, which came from Zhou Yi's words before the game: "Shot if you have the chance!"
Isn’t this an opportunity?
Gotze shot decisively!
He did not choose to shoot a lob, but chose to shoot a low shot. The football rushed forward quickly against the turf, not far from Valdes.
However, such a shot made Valdes feel uncomfortable because the goalkeepers fear the most was to slam the ball, and what made them most uncomfortable in the ground was the kind of ball that was close to their bodies or not. Because the goalkeepers fell to the ground was slower than their speed of getting into the air, and the closer position to their bodies could be regarded as a blind spot for saving with their hands, which was determined by the structure of the human body.
Therefore, those who are more thrifty will choose to kick this position.
Valdes was indeed half a beat slower on the ground. Before his hand could touch the football, the football had already rushed past him!
All he can do now is pray to God, hoping that the football can be blocked by the goal post, or simply biased...
He turned around and looked at the football, then watched the football... rolled into the net!

"Ah! Ah! The ball is in!!!" Marcel Leif was stunned for a moment and shouted. "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Getze! Shot - the ball entered!" He Ping was also very excited. He was not a fan of Dortmund, nor was he a fan of Goetze, but he hoped that Dortmund could go further and further so that Zhou Yi's performance in the Champions League can continue.
"It's incredible! It's incredible! The first goal was Dortmund, and it was just eight seconds before the opening!" He exclaimed. "The fastest goal in the Champions League this season was born!"
Marcel Leif kept shouting after a long neigh: "Before the game, everyone thought that Barcelona had an absolute advantage in their home court. But just eight seconds into the game, Barcelona's goal was lost, which must have been beyond the expectations of most people! But I don't think it's a surprise, because this is football, everything is possible!"
The Catalonian commentator was stunned after losing the ball, and he kept asking: "Is this true? Why did this happen?"
You can't blame him for making a fuss, but in fact, the Barcelona players are not much better.
After conceding the ball, he was confused. He never expected that Dortmund scored a goal just now...
What the hell is this!
Gotze was running wildly to celebrate the goal, and Dortmund's players rushed up, including Zhou Yi.
They walked through the stupid Barcelona players and caught up with Gotze under the North stands at Camp Nou to celebrate the goal with him.
Goce turned around and hugged Zhou Yi, thanking him for his assist.
Then he said in his ear: "I found our fans!" He hugged Zhou Yi and turned around, then pointed to the top of the north stand.
Zhou Yi followed him up and looked up. There was a small yellow area in the inconspicuous corner at the top of the North Stand.
That is the Dortmund fans who came from afar.
They were jumping in that place, waving their arms, and celebrating the goal with the distant Dortmund players.
"Awesome, you found it!" Zhou Yi also said to Goce happily. "Yes, they look a little hidden..."
"It's not just a bit concealed, I doubt whether they can see the game there..." Gotze looked up.
"We can't see our faces and numbers, but at least we can still see our goals." Zhou Yi patted Goce on the shoulder.
"Yes, we can see our goal!" Gotze was very happy.
※※※
While Dortmund players were still celebrating the goal, the TV broadcast was replaying the goal just now.
It was obvious that this ball was initiated by Zhou Yi. After passing back and forth twice in the backcourt, he suddenly passed the ball with a long pass and accurately found Gotze and completed a sneak attack.
The game has only started for eight seconds, and Barcelona players may not have entered the game yet.
So was this ball confusing a blind spot for a while after being very lucky, or was it planned carefully and planned?
Thanks to the developed TV broadcast, the camera was recorded when Zhou Yi and Gotze discussed before the game. Now the director of the game broadcast quickly cut this shot out.
So you can see Zhou Yi communicating with Goce. After saying that, he went to find several other teammates. Among these teammates are Subotic and Sven Bend who passed the ball to him.
Well, it’s obvious that Dortmund’s ball has been planned for a long time!
Chapter completed!
