Chapter 159 Rhythm change
Zhou Yi used the world wave to pull a goal for the team, which was very effective in boosting morale. In the following game, the morale of Dortmund's entire team was high, while Schalke 04 was obviously affected by the loss of the ball, and there were problems with passing and receiving balls, and frequent mistakes.
Dortmund took advantage of Schalke 04's mistake and launched a fierce attack on their goal, hoping to complete the equalization task as soon as possible, so that they will have more time left. They only need to score another goal in the next game.
During this period, Schalke 04's defensive players are the busiest.
Yang Muge followed Zhou Yi almost indefinitely. As long as Zhou Yi dared to cross the line, he would quickly stick it up, and would definitely not give Zhou Yi the opportunity to calmly take the ball and kick it up.
However, due to Schalke 04's own mistake, Dortmund still got some shots.
Hildebran has a very high exposure during this period and he can always appear in close-ups of television broadcasts.
Because of his save.
This genius who once set the longest record of consecutive goals in Bundesliga in Stuttgart will be given high expectations and is regarded as the successor of goalkeeper Kahn, but Kahn has Lymann afterwards. Hildebrand has always been the No. 3 goalkeeper in the German national team. In his club career, after leaving Stuttgart, he did not live a good life. He wandered in Valencia, Hoffenheim and Sporting Lisbon. He did not join Schalke 04 until the summer of 2011, but he was not the main player in Schalke 04 last season.
It wasn't until this season that he began to play more and more in Schalke 04.
"Hildebran! His performance makes us feel like we see the 2003-2204 season again. At that time, he set a Bundesliga record of not conceding goals in 884 minutes. No one can break this record yet..." Duan Xin was giving Chinese TV audience Cop Hildebran's glorious past. Although Hildebran is now unable to even enter the German national team, he thought that the famous geniuses would be highly expected.
But in the eyes of many Chinese fans who support Dortmund, they are really unlucky. Hildebran has not been in good shape in recent years, so why is he in such a good state in today's game?
All kinds of high and low blocks were met, and Schalke 04 had just lost the ball and his morale was unstable, so he tried his best to keep the goal unsuccessful!
This made Dortmund's desire to take advantage of the victory and pursue it failed.
Nearly ten minutes later, Dortmund had to slow down, take back their company, and continue to have a stalemate with Schalke 04.
This made Schalke 04 fans in the stands and Bayern Munich fans in front of the TV breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, Schalke 04 is still ahead now. Once they survived Dortmund's three-pronged axe, they had a lot of room and room for maneuver.
Time will pass minute by minute in this kind of stalemate and stalemate. When Dortmund wants to exert force, there will be less time left for them.
※※※
Klopp was a little annoyed that he was not able to score in a short period of time. He stood on the sidelines, biting his lip with a solemn expression.
He knows what this means.
Once the game is brought back to Schalke 04's rhythm, it will be troublesome.
The game on the court continued, and the game returned to a balanced state. Both sides seemed to have a chance, but no one could score.
The game is moving in the direction Schalke 04 supporters and Bayern Munich fans hoped.
Zhou Yi was entangled by Yang Muge so tight that he had no time to adjust after receiving the ball, so he had to pass the football out immediately.
In this way, the threat he can create is much smaller.
Zhou Yi knew that he had to make some changes, otherwise the situation would be worse.
Yang Muge is a very stubborn player with a straightforward look and is very resilient in defense, but this does not mean that he has no shortcomings. There are no perfect players in this world, nor is there really no airtight defense.
What is needed to deal with a player like Yang Muge who is very resilient but lacks change is a more exaggerated imagination.
There is a saying that can be said, there is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected.
Some people will not do things that they cannot imagine, because they think that such things cannot happen.
People with big brains can always come up with many ideas that seem completely unrealistic. Of course, there are many ideas that are simply impossible to achieve, but there are always some that are possible.
Zhou Yi felt that he had to take an unusual path to deal with Yang Muge.
So, when he ran without the ball again, he did not continue to stay in the middle, but directly pulled to the left.
He made a crossover with Goze, who was originally here. Goze went to the middle, and then Lewandowski, who had a hard time holding the ball on his back, handed over the football to Goze.
At this time, Zhou Yi began to accelerate and penetrate forward along the side road.
His forward insertion attracted the attention of Schalke 04 players, but with Yang Muge following them, they didn't take this matter much. Some people have counted that Zhou Yi's most threatening part is in the middle lane. In the middle lane, he can always send very imaginative and very threatening passes, while on the side lane, his efficiency will be reduced. He rarely crosses because he doesn't seem to be very good at crossing.
Yang Muge did not give up following Zhou Yi because he was not good at crossing. Even if Zhou Yi was on the sidelines, he was still with Zhou Yi. At this time, stubbornness is his advantage. No matter how others evaluate Zhou Yi, he only acted according to the initially set plan. This plan is to "Follow Zhou Yi" the task assigned to him by the head coach.
So he is still following Zhou Yi, which gives Zhou Yi a little headache: How to get rid of this "shadow" and get the opportunity?
Yang Muge's close defense will hardly give him any time to get the ball and think about it, so he must solve this problem before getting the ball.
But he doesn't have enough time to not get the ball.
Seeing that he was about to run to the front line, if Gotze saw his running position, he might pass the football over.
Yang Muge was stuck on the inside line on his side, resolutely not allowing Zhou Yi to break through.
In this case, what should I do?
Many pictures flashed through Zhou Yi's mind, which were clips of him simulating this game again and again in the virtual space, and looking for solutions in the games he had played. This is called experience. Zhou Yi is a player with very rich experience.
He suddenly thought of it.
At this moment, when Goce saw Zhou Yi's forward, he passed the football directly without hesitation.
No matter when, Zhou Yi is trustworthy.
Zhou Yi looked back at the football that came from Gece. He slowed down. Yang Muge did not rush to grab it. In that case, Zhou Yi might use the speed difference of the robbery and hit him behind him. So he honestly stayed in the penalty area, and was separated from Zhou Yi by a white line in the penalty area. The distance was neither close nor far, so it was very suitable to maintain it.
In this way, he can not only defend against Zhou Yi's breakthrough, but also against Zhou Yi's passing.
Looks like a perfect defense.
Since Yang Muge did not come up to grab it, Zhou Yi easily got the ball.
Zhou Yi, who got the ball, did not drive the ball through, nor did he pass the ball directly. He dribbled the ball along the penalty area line. His speed was not fast and his pace was very slow. If he was a speed player, it would arouse the vigilance of the defensive players at this time, because some speed players like to play this rhythm change. He dribbled the ball slowly at the beginning, and suddenly accelerated when you were not paying attention, using his speed advantage and the weakness of the defensive players' slow turn to create murderous intent.
This is how Bisheying scored the first game after joining Paris Saint-Germain on loan.
But Zhou Yi is obviously not a speed player. Even if he wants to accelerate suddenly, the biggest result is that he cannot increase his speed, and he is stuck in position by Yang Muge and loses his possession.
So Zhou Yi would not do this, so there is no need to worry about the speed changes he will slowly dribble the ball.
This analysis is theoretically correct, but there are always accidents.
Zhou Yi has no intention of speeding up the ball, or using fake moves to break through. Yang Muge just stuck in the inside line and didn't make any moves. In his opinion, there is still room ahead, so Zhou Yi will not be in a hurry, and he doesn't have to worry. When he pushes Zhou Yi to the bottom line and is about to go out of bounds, Zhou Yi will be anxious. If he is anxious, there will be flaws.
Yang Muge's strategy is to force Zhou Yi to the bottom line.
Why didn’t Zhou Yi know Yang Muge’s countermeasures?
But he also has countermeasures.
In the ball that didn't seem to be fast, Zhou Yi's right foot, which is the side foot closer to the penalty area, should have continued to push the football forward, but when the foot was swayed, he directly picked up the football with his toes!
A very casual move was not obvious at all, and it was extremely fast. Yang Muge just saw Zhou Yi kicking the football. When he found out that it was a cross, the football had already flew past him. It was beyond his reach to stop him any longer!
He turned around and could only chase the football with his eyes, but he was completely powerless.
※※※
"Zhou Yi... is crossed!?" Even Duan Xin was shocked. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi would suddenly send the crossed like this.
Schalke 04's players in the penalty area did not react, but there was a person in front of the goal, and that person was Lewandowski who was in front of the goal!
When Zhou Yi passed the football into the penalty area, he rushed to the top!
When his forehead was firmly pressed the football, Schalke 04 defenders beside him, whether it was Hovides or Matip... no one could react, even goalkeeper Hildebran, because the distance was too close, he could not react to Lewandowski's powerful rush, and just watched the football fly into the goal he guarded...
"Lewandowski!! Robert Lewandowski!!" Marcel Lef screamed excitedly. "2:2!! He equalized the score for Dortmund!! Now Dortmund and Schalke are tied!!"
※※※
Yang Muge turned his head to look at Zhou Yi. He never expected that Zhou Yi could pass the football like this. This was still a change in rhythm, but it was not the rhythm of dribbling, but the rhythm of passing the ball...
