Chapter 55 Moving the Great Wall

Klopp wanted to listen to Zhou Yi's tactical choices. In theory, the right to explain tacticals is in the hands of the head coach or assistant coach.

But Buvac's approach to Klopp was not surprising.

Because he's used to it...

Thinking back to the beginning, he and Klopp had discussed tactical issues with Zhou Yi...

Klopp has an absolute trust in Zhou Yi that is almost "supercredible" - this is more than any other player on the team. In terms of offensive strategy and tactical choices, Klopp will leave enough space for Zhou Yi on the court to allow him to perform a certain degree of freedom. Although there are not any restrictions, it is definitely much more tactical space than other players.

In return, Zhou Yi led Dortmund to win the Bundesliga championship for three consecutive seasons and a UEFA Champions League championship trophy. Klopp treated him with "absolute trust", of course he must be worthy of others' trust. The so-called "a soldier dies for his confidant" is not as superficial as feudal loyalty...

After Dortmund won the Champions League, many people are analyzing and studying the "why".

Why can Dortmund maintain excellent competitive form and results for three consecutive seasons, and why can Dortmund suppress Bayern Munich in both the domestic league and the Champions League?

They came to conclusions from many aspects, but few people mentioned this "weird" cooperative relationship between Klopp and Zhou Yi because not many people know about it, and even if they know it, they don't take it seriously and don't take it seriously enough.

So from this perspective, it is actually difficult to replicate Dortmund's success, whether it is other teams or Dortmund himself.

If one day Klopp or Zhou Yi leaves Dortmund, then the set of things built on this basis will lose their meaning.

There will be no head coach who will give a player such great trust and respect. There will be no player who will have such clear tactical mind as Zhou Yi.

Buvac sometimes even wondered why Klopp could do this. He believed that even himself would not be able to give Zhou Yi such great power. It would be fine to say that Zhou Yi is the invisible tactical coach in the team.

How many head coaches can allow this to happen? They always want to be the only authority in the team, and all the right to explain is in their own hands, and the players only need to follow their arrangements. Of course, they will listen to the players' voices, but that comes more from personnel and relationships, rather than tactical ones.

If a player says to the head coach: "I think we should change our tactics in the next game and change our playing style..."

Then he will most likely anger the head coach because he is provoking himself.

But Klopp, a crazy man, gave Zhou Yi such freedom. It really fits the setting of "crazy people doing crazy things"...

"There is not much time left in the first half, and it seems that it is difficult to change the score again... In view of the situation shown in the first half, I think the two head coaches will definitely make corresponding arrangements and adjustments during the halftime break..."

When commentator He Ping said this, the game time displayed on the TV screen was 44 minutes and 25 seconds.

Just before he said this, the fourth official raised the sign of injury stoppage time on the sidelines. Except for the conflict between Aubameyang and Ruiz at the beginning, the first half was very smooth, so the injury stoppage time was only one minute.

What can I do with one minute and thirty-five seconds left?

Even at this time, Dortmund was taking the ball to attack.

Zhou Yi received the ball in front of the penalty area, but his back was facing the attack direction... At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly put the ball into the penalty area behind him with his heel!

He wants to pass the football to Mark.

Ruiz was wary of this, and they studied Zhou Yi a lot before the game... so they stretched out their feet and blocked the football.

The football got out was received by Shahin. Dortmund controlled the second landing point, just like snatching a frontcourt rebound, and could continue to organize the offense. Because there was not much time left in the first half, most Chelsea players returned to the 30-meter area to help defend. He also felt how fierce and crazy Dortmund's offensive was in the first half, but he didn't want Dortmund to equalize the score at the end of the first half...

At this time, Zhou Yi had retreated, about thirty meters away from the goal. He adjusted the direction and turned directly to the goal.

Shahin passed the football to him.

Zhou Yi used his left foot to step on the football sent by Shahin, and then swung his right foot directly and shot it at the football without running aid!

This shot was really sudden because there was no meaning of running-up. Zhou Yi swung his foot directly on the spot, with no warning before shooting!

"Zhou Yi's shot--!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.

Zhou Yi aimed at the back corner of the goal, and Sun Pan also moved his foot and was about to snatch it. As a result, the football flew to the middle of the flight but hit Ramirez's calf who jumped up to defend, and a line refraction occurred!

Football is in a close corner instead!

It's finished!

Many Chelsea fans and some Chelsea players saw this scene and this idea came to their minds.

Ramirez felt even more heartbroken - if this ball is in, it will definitely be his own fault...

Mark couldn't wait to raise his arms and prepare to cheer for the goal.

But at this moment, Sun Pan rushed over from behind the crowd, and he, who should have gone to the far corner, rushed to the near corner!

Then he poked the football open with his fingertips!

The football deflected and flew out of the bottom line!

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!" The British narrator raised his arms and shouted. "Sun Pan! Sun Pan! He is the mobile Great Wall that makes Dortmund insurmountable!! After missing Sun Pan for two seasons, Chelsea finally made the right choice this time! They kept Sun Pan at all costs and have received corresponding rewards now!"

This time the camera shot was given to Cech, and Cech off the field also made a fist waving action. Obviously, he was also excited and happy for Sun Pan's save.

Sun Pan, who made an incredible and wonderful save, rolled up after landing, jumped up from the ground very casually, and waved his fists vigorously.

His teammates rushed up to hug him and snatch him up, thanked Sun Pan for the key save he made just now.

When most people gave up and felt it was impossible to escape, Sun Pan played the role of God.

"Sun Pan! He resolved Zhou Yi's shot! He saved Chelsea's goal again!" He Ping cheered for Sun Pan's outstanding performance. Sun Pan, who changed the team and the environment, did not show any discomfort. He was still very stable, which made He Ping very happy.

In front of the TV, Chinese fans on the Internet were also frightened by Sun Pan's save.

"Damn it! Who is the protagonist?"

"Damn it, can you save this ball?!"

"I found that every time Sun Pan met Zhou Yi, he was like he was injected with chicken blood..."

"Did anyone notice the exchange between Zhou Yi and Sun Pan before? Zhou Yi ran away after saying that, and Sun Pan seemed very angry behind him... It's no wonder Sun Pan. I think it must be what Zhou Yi said that angered Sun Pan. Everyone knows that Sun Pan is a Hulk, and the more angry he is, the better his condition..."

"Bortmond is still one goal behind in this game. If Mourinho deliberately sets a bus in the second half, what will Dortmund do when I see it..."

※※※

Mark's raised hands finally clamped on his own head, and the ball could be saved, and he began to feel a little unbelievable about science.

Zhou Yi was also very sorry, but he was not as exaggerated as Mark showed.

Because it occurs when hitting the opponent's player... This kind of shot cannot be called a "world wave" no matter what.

So this did not shake his judgment on Sun Pan.

After celebrating with his teammates, Sun Pan also winked at Zhou Yi and shouted in Chinese that only the two of them could understand: "Don't think of scoring a goal!!"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes back and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Panpan. Since you have a conservative character, don't lose it casually."

※※※

Dortmund's corner kick did not pose any threat to the goal guarded by Sun Pan. In order to prevent Chelsea from counterattacking, Dortmund's corner kick was not directly sent to the goal, but instead played a tactical corner kick.

Reus kicked the football to Zhou Yi who came to pick him up. Zhou Yi led the team to pass the ball, but he did not find any better opportunities or space.

The first half ended quickly, with the score being 1:0, with Chelsea leading the way.
Chapter completed!
