Chapter 211 Counterattack
"Sergio Ramos--!!!" the Spanish commentator roared in a long voice, "He did it! A beautiful goal! Now the total score is 3:4! Real Madrid is only one goal away from Wembley!"
"Ah, be careful!" As soon as Marcel Lef finished speaking, Ramos kicked the ball into the goal. He leaned his head back on the back of the chair. What he had been worried about still happened. In the 88th minute of the game, Real Madrid caught up with only one goal. Although there is not much time left, Real Madrid only needs to score another goal. For them now, they are very motivated, it seems not difficult to score another goal.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were also worried. So far, there has never been a Chinese player in history in the Champions League final. As the most valuable and technical event, no one cared about the absence of Chinese players before. After all, the level of Chinese football was low at that time, and there were no Chinese players who could show off. Foreign players were completely incomparable to Japan and South Korea and Iran. But now that we already have so many players who can play the main and even core players in European teams, it is natural to hope that they will appear in the Champions League final.
After He Ying, Yang Muge and Sun Pan were eliminated one after another, Zhou Yi shouldered the expectations and sustenance of all Chinese fans.
Everyone hopes that he can become the first player in the Champions League final in Chinese football history.
At this time, even if some people are Real Madrid fans, I'm afraid they have to cheer for Zhou Yi.

In the midst of the earth-shaking of the Bernabeu Stadium, Ramos, who scored the goal, rushed into the goal, took out the football, and then turned around and ran back. They didn't want to waste a second.
And beside him, most of the Dortmund players were stunned. Unexpectedly, they stayed for more than 80 minutes, but in the last six minutes they were on the verge of collapse...
Real Madrid players hope that Dortmund players will continue to be as dull as possible, and it is best to continue until the end of the game, so that they can score a few more goals.
But it is not said that all Dortmund players are in a daze.
At this time, Zhou Yi found Gotze and Reus.
Both of them were still feeling pain for losing the ball, but Zhou Yi pulled their arms and said, "Hey, wake up. If we continue to defend like this, I guess we will still lose the ball."
Two people who were originally very painful because of losing the ball, when Zhou Yi said this, the expression on his face was simply desperate - he still wanted to lose the ball? Wasn't he eliminated?
"So we have to think of some way, at least we can't let Real Madrid attack so unscrupulously."
The two finally came to their senses, and Reus asked Zhou Yi: "Do you have any solutions, Zhou Yi?"
"After the kick-off, I will fall down in the backcourt first and attract their people. You two will cruising on the sidelines and stand by at the front. As long as the time is right, I will pass the football to you. If you get the ball, you can directly counterattack. At that time, the only goalkeeper in Real Madrid may be in the backcourt..."
Zhou Yi revealed his thoughts.
Theoretically, this plan is fine, but both Gotze and Reus are worried about one thing, that is, before Zhou Yi passes the football to them, he has to pass it back and forth in the backcourt. Facing Real Madrid's crazy pressing in the frontcourt, will he be cut off by his opponent before he passes the football?
Gotze and Reus looked at each other, and then Reus expressed this concern to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Of course there are certain risks, but this risk is something that our backcourt passer has to bear. Don't worry so much. Just run to a good position and be careful not to make a reservation. Once offside, it will be completely ruined. We won't have too many opportunities."
Seeing that Zhou Yi was so confident, it was naturally hard to say anything else. Anyway, Zhou Yi was always reliable at the critical moment.
※※※
Real Madrid did not give Dortmund too much breathing time. They quickly placed the football in the middle circle and waited for the Dortmund players to come and kick off.
Because Lewandowski had been replaced, the kick-offers became Gotze and Reus. Zhou Yi stood outside the middle circle and signaled Gotze and Reus to kick off the ball slowly. Walk slowly, and then slower. It would be better if he could climb and walk without taking the cards...
Of course this is impossible.
Gotze and Reus couldn't be as shameless as Zhou Yi, so even though they wanted to delay a little longer, they soon came to the middle circle to prepare for the kickoff.
Even so, Real Madrid fans in the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium still booed harshly.
After the two men stood up, Weber blew the tee whistle.
This is the 89th minute of the game.
Gotze rubbed the football out, Reus followed and passed the football to Zhou Yi outside the central circle. The booing at the Bernabeu Stadium finally stopped, and it was replaced by the cheers of cheering for Real Madrid.
Just as Gotze kicked off, Real Madrid players rushed out in a swarm, directly over the center line, and rushed to Dortmund's Big Ben Achang.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema even came to Zhou Yi, intending to attack left and right.
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Yi did not pass the football, but paused for a moment. After waiting for the opponent to get closer to him, he used his heel to pass the football back.
Just as he passed the football back, Ronaldo rushed to him... If it were a little later, Zhou Yi would probably not be able to pass the ball.
So after Zhou Yi's pass, a burst of exclamations rang out in the Bernabeu stands - because the pass was too close to Cristiano Ronaldo's pounce, many Real Madrid fans even thought the ball was stabbed by the Portuguese... but the final result only made them happy in vain.
After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not run forward, but pulled it horizontally, and after finding the gap, he asked for the ball.
The teammate passed the football to him again, and he quickly passed the football away, then ran to the next location, and continued to prepare to pick up the teammates.
It is not only Zhou Yi who will face the pressing of Real Madrid players, but there will be other Dortmund players, so this is not just a high requirement for Zhou Yi's passing and receiving ability, but also for other Dortmund players.
However, this requirement is actually not high, because in the Bracker training base in Dortmund, the small black room called "Footbonaut" practices this aspect of ability.
After two seasons of continuous training, Dortmund players have greatly improved their passing and receiving abilities in high-intensity and fast-paced confrontation.
Especially later, Klopp upgraded the "Footbonaut" training method, no longer just passing and receiving the ball alone, but also increasing the defensive players, greatly increasing the difficulty.
The Dortmund players trained in this way have significantly improved their passing and receiving abilities when facing pressing, and have also trained their psychological qualities well.
In the last few minutes against Real Madrid, the training that Dortmund players received showed value.
Faced with the pressing of Real Madrid players, their passes and receiving are very stable.
While participating in this process of turning his head around, Zhou Yi did not forget to turn his head to observe the situation in the frontcourt.
He saw Real Madrid players gradually pushing forward with Dortmund's backcourt. After Cointran got out, Essin, Varane and Ramos formed the three central defenders' defense line. However, in the final stage of the game, Ramos rushed to the front and turned into a center. Essin's position was also on the front and formed a double midfielder with Khedira, which liberated Modric and allowed him to step forward and support the attack with Ozil and Di Maria. Khedira also often rushed to the frontcourt to defend Zhou Yi, so most of the time, the real midfielder was Essin alone.
But in this way, the only defender of Real Madrid is left with Varane...
Although Varane is a very talented young player, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot cover the entire second half.
Most = When Varane overwhelms the middle circle, there will inevitably be a lot of gaps on both sides.
This is also why Zhou Yi asked Goze and Reus to pay attention to activities on the sidelines.
During the observation, Zhou Yi also noticed that Gotze and Reus would occasionally participate in the back foot, but their position was relatively high. If they wanted to fight back, they could be involved soon.
The time is ripe.
Zhou Yi ran to the next contact point. Since then, he did not ask for the ball immediately, but adjusted his body, adjusting from the back-to-offensive direction to the side-to-on attack direction, while the front faces the right side of Reus. Why not Gotze? Because Zhou Yi is now on the right side of Gotze, there is a gap here. If he runs over and receives the ball, it will definitely become the center of focus for Real Madrid players to defend. Although the football is now on the right side, when the football passes to the left, everyone in Real Madrid will also move to the left side, so there will be gaps on the right side.
Zhou Yi is waiting for this opportunity.
After the adjustment was completed, he raised his hand to signal the ball.
Gundogan quickly passed the football over.
As he expected, as the football shifted, Real Madrid's defensive focus was also shifting towards him. Among them, Khdira ran especially fast, and he almost went to Zhou Yi with football.
Zhou Yi's left foot made a catch-up action. While he was about to touch the ball, he suddenly tapped his ankle and gently bounced the ball back to his right foot. At the same time, Khedira's foot also reached and he threw it away!
After Zhou Yi's left foot knocked the football back, he jumped up quickly and avoided Khedira's snatch.
He is trying to get rid of Khdira!
How could Khedira easily make Zhou Yi get what he wants?
Although the man rushed over because of inertia, his hand was still dragged behind him and grabbed Zhou Yi's clothes, preventing him from getting rid of the ball.
But Zhou Yi had no intention of dribbling the ball at all. After dodging Khedira, he directly raised his right foot and passed the ball to the right!
The football soared into the air and flew to the right road, where Reus was running in front of the highway!
The football landed not far ahead of Reus, and its speed slowed down. It bounced again and became even slower. Reus caught up with the football like a gust of wind and drove the ball to the Real Madrid goal!
Chapter completed!
