Chapter 119 Continuously hitting the wall
Facing Real Madrid's fierce attack, Dortmund recovered at all, and even center Lewandowski returned to his half to participate in the defense. At some point, he even had to retreat inside and outside the penalty area.
Many times when other Dortmund players are forward, there is no one in front of them, and the ball ends up falling to the feet of Real Madrid players.
Logically speaking, these are all mistakes, but in such a situation, they cannot be considered mistakes. It can only be said that Dortmund wants to keep football away from his penalty area as much as possible.
But as imagined, in the next ten minutes, there will be a scene where Real Madrid bombarded the penalty area around Dortmund. If Dortmund can withstand these ten minutes, they will get a draw. But if they can't... it's not really important.
Because in the last game, Dortmund defeated Real Madrid 2:1 at home. Even if Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 3:2 in this game, the two teams (no-win-loss relationship and goal difference between each other are the same. In this case, we need to compare the number of goals scored in the away game when fighting each other. In this regard, Dortmund scored one more away goal than Real Madrid. If they scored the same goal with Real Madrid, Dortmund will also beat the opponent with this away goal and become the first in the group.
So as long as Dortmund does not concede two goals in the next game, the situation will be beneficial to them.
And is it possible that they will concede two goals in a row?
Of course there is, but now it seems that the probability is relatively small.
Real Madrid also knows what the situation is now. If you only defeat Dortmund 3:2, it will actually not make much sense, it will take 4:2.
There is actually not much time left for them.
Zhou Yi also knew that Real Madrid was very anxious, so at this time, he had to do the opposite. The more his opponent wanted to do, the less he could let them do anything. What he did would make the opponent uncomfortable, then do whatever he did.
So as long as he gets the ball, he will slowly deal with the football, or use the method of passing the ball back, using the pass to fully mobilize Real Madrid players and let them run.
On the one hand, it consumes their physical fitness, on the other hand, it hopes to create some space and opportunities in such mobilization, and on the third hand, it is to make Real Madrid players feel anxious and lose their calmness. The more impatient they are, the more beneficial it is to Dortmund.
Under such circumstances, booing against Zhou Yi and Dortmund sounded over the Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid fans believed that Dortmund was deliberately delaying time, especially for Zhou Yi. They believed that the culprit of Dortmund playing like this was Zhou Yi, and naturally they did not have a good impression of Zhou Yi...
Zhou Yi doesn't care what the visiting team fans think of him. He concentrates on playing his own ball.
He kept running from one point to another on the court, receiving the ball from the opponents, and then passing the ball he received. This was actually very physically exhausting, but Zhou Yi showed no sign of not being able to run.

The game time passed minute by minute, but the score was still not rewritten, and it was still 2:2, and the two teams tied.
"I don't have enough time left for Real Madrid!" He Ping was happy and used a meme that was almost household name among Chinese fans.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV all laughed, and of course Real Madrid fans in China might not be able to laugh.
In the 83rd minute, with more than ten minutes left before the end of the game, Zhou Yi received the ball from Sven Bend. He turned around while receiving the ball, and while turning around, he used his outer instep to push the ball out, stopped the ball, turned around, and passed the ball in one go, and the connection was very natural and hidden.
Essin, who was defending against him, had never expected that Zhou Yi was so agile and had already passed the football over. He followed Zhou Yi and was unmoved. It was a good defensive approach to remain unmoved in normal times, but when facing Zhou Yi, the effect of "unmoved" was not good...
Because this will make him look like a bluffing scarecrow in front of Zhou Yi.
Essin did not expect that Zhou Yi's kick would allow Zhou Yi to pass the football easily, and the football fell to the feet of Lewandowski, who was at the forefront. The Polish shooter took advantage of his physical advantages and skills to protect the football firmly under his feet.
After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not stay in place, but accelerated and rushed forward.
Essin's reaction was slower than him, so he could only chase Zhou Yi's back and run back.
Except for Zhou Yi, no one else rushed up. They may be because they lacked energy, or because they were worried that the space behind them would be used after going up, or because they felt that even if they went up, it would not work and mean nothing... In short, everyone else stayed behind, and only Zhou Yi rushed to Real Madrid's halftime.
As soon as Lewandowski looked up, he saw Zhou Yi running forward, so he quickly knocked the football back to Zhou Yi, and then turned around and ran forward.
At this time, the two of them were involved in the attack.
Such an offensive can be described as "short".
So Real Madrid did not return to defense, just let the players who were originally acting in defense against them. Everyone else stayed in the frontcourt and waited for their teammates to intercept the ball before attacking. Even the full-back Ramos did not return to defense at this time, but stayed in the front. His current position looked more like a winger than a full-back.
"Dortmond launched an attack, but not many people participated in the attack, only Zhou Yi and Lewandowski... At this time, Dortmund really didn't need to invest more troops to counterattack. If the ball was lost, it would be troublesome." He Ping said. "So Dortmund's counterattack may be more aimed at delaying the game time."
In his vision, Lewandowski and Zhou Yi should have hit the football to the other party's corner flag area, and then use the two people's passes and protects each other to delay time.
Although it's a bit sloppy to play like this, it's also a normal tactic...
But what happened on the field seemed to be different from what he expected.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, he did not hesitate at all, nor stopped to observe, and did not even slow down. Although he knew there was an obstacle in front and a pursuer in the back, he still resolutely drove the ball to the penalty area of Real Madrid.
His move attracted the attention of Real Madrid defensive players.
