After Zhou Yi's fate, Schalke 04 made a substitution adjustment.

Keller breathed a sigh of relief at Zhou Yi's end. Although he was still two goals behind, as long as Zhou Yi was not on the court, there was nothing to worry about. The rest of the time was spent on the offensive and trying to equalize the score before the end of the game. At this time, Keller no longer considered the victory, as long as he could not lose to his mortal enemy at home.

He replaced Neustte with Clemens and replaced Kolashinatz with midfielder Jones.

There are more than twenty minutes left for Schalke 04. If you only score one goal, this time is not short.

But if Schalke 04 wants to score two goals in a row... Dortmund is not a vegetarian.

Dortmund, who replaced Zhou Yi, also adjusted his tactics and launched a defensive counterattack. Anyway, there are fast players like Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, and Reus in the frontcourt, so it is very easy to fight back.

Sure enough, Dortmund's counterattack caused great trouble to Schalke 04, making them afraid to easily press the attack on the entire line.

Even when they need to take a gamble, they dare not do this, and they still have to retain some defensive forces in the backcourt.

In the end, no matter how hard Schalke 04 tried, they could not break through Dortmund's goal again.

When referee Kishill blew the whistle to the end of the game, Zhou Yi and his teammates stood up from the bench, applauded and cheered together, celebrating the 143rd Ruhr Derby victory.

"The game ends! Dortmund beat Schalke 04 3-1 away! They won the Roul Derby again! They have never lost to Schalke 04 since 2010! This is an amazing result!"

"... Compared with winning the Ruttery, I think what is more important is Zhou Yi's performance after returning from injury. This is his first game after returning from injury. In his limited playing time, he scored one goal and instigated two goals. Such a performance is simply perfect!" Duan Xin's focus was on Zhou Yi. "I think for the fans of Klopp and Dortmund, a Zhou Yi with excellent health is something that makes them happier than winning the Ruttery..."

The TV broadcast footage also pointed at Zhou Yi, telling all TV viewers that this person is the real protagonist of the game.

Zhou Yi was taken for granted after the game.

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi, you played a very good game, and this is the first game since you returned from injury. Does this mean you have fully recovered?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I don't know if it's considered a complete recovery. Doctor Braun has the final say? But I'm quite satisfied with my performance. It's great to be able to play like this in the first game after returning from injury."

"In another game ended at the same time, Bayern Munich beat Hertha Berlin 3-2 at home and is still ranked first. Bayern Munich performed very well this season. They are the only team in the league that remains unbeaten, while Dortmund is deeply troubled by injuries. Do you think Dortmund still hopes to defend the league championship this season?"

"Last season, Bayern Munich also had the advantage most of the time, but in the end we won the league championship. I think what is important in the competition for the league championship is not a temporary lead, the most important thing is never giving up. We will not give up easily. And now we are not much behind them, it seems that the difference is just one point, right?"

The reporter nodded.

Bayern Munich now has eight wins and two draws to earn 26 points, while Dortmund has eight wins and one draw and one loss to earn 25 points. The gap between the two teams is not as big as people imagine.

"So it's said. Now the league has only played ten rounds, and the whole season has been thirty-four rounds. Now it's too early to talk about the ownership of the league championship. It's too early for us, and it's probably too early for Bayern Munich." Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head, his tone was very plain, but he was very confident.

He just returned from injury and performed very well, helping the team win the Ruld Derby. Zhou Yi is certainly qualified to be so confident.

After the game, Zhou Yi, who only played 67 minutes in the media, was given a high score of 1.5 points.

The scoring criteria for the Bundesliga are formulated by the magazine "Kicker". Unlike the ten-point system in other countries, the Bundesliga is in a five-point system. But it does not mean 0-5 points, but 1-6 points, so it is impossible to have a ridiculous situation where zero points are the highest score.

The highest score is one point, the lowest score is five points, and six points is equivalent to a negative score, which means "negative score is rough". In between, 0:5 points is a unit. Generally speaking, being able to be scored to 1:5 points is considered a relatively rare high score. It is very, very difficult to get one point - in the key battle for the Bundesliga championship last season, Zhou Yi defeated Bayern Munich at the last minute, and was only rated 1.5 points.

Zhou Yi has not scored a full score of one point, but in the Champions League final last season, two goals and one assist, helped Dortmund beat Bayern Munich 3-2, winning the Champions League trophy again historically. After the game, Zhou Yi's "Kickers" magazine scored a full score.

The media's evaluation of Zhou Yi's performance in this Ruhr derby was: "... Considering that Zhou Yi suffered an injury and missed more than a month of games, and considering that this was a fierce Ruhr derby, Zhou Yi was able to show such a decisive performance, which fully proves that he is the most indispensable person in Dortmund."

Yang Muge, who scored the only goal for Schalke 04 in the game, also scored 2.5 points, which was the highest score of Schalke 04's team. The media comments read: "Schalke 04's failure has nothing to do with Yang Muge. His defense in the midfield is as stable as ever, and what's even better is his performance in offense. His smart forward shot once made Schalke 04 see hope. The reason why Schalke 04 lost this game was related to head coach Jens Keller's insistence on arranging Neustet to defend Zhou Yi. The strong Schalke 04 iron gate was very clumsy in front of Zhou Yi. Just look at his performance in this game, you will definitely doubt why Löw recruited him into the national team..."

Neusttet scored five points after the game, with the lowest score in the team, but he was not alone. Boateng, who lost the penalty in the game, was also scored five points.

Yang Muge, who scored the only goal for Schalke 04 in the game, also accepted an interview. During the interview, he seemed a little depressed and congratulated the reporters on his first goal in the Ruhr derby.

"What I care more about is the team's victory. If my goal can be exchanged for a victory, I am willing to exchange it." Yang Muge shook his head and said.

A reporter maliciously wanted Yang Muge to evaluate the coach's tactical arrangements. Although Yang Muge was honest, he was not stupid. He was also a person who often interviewed reporters, so he naturally knew the routine. So he said: "As a player, I am not qualified to judge whether the coach's approach is right. I just completed my own tasks."

He doesn't want to push himself to the forefront at this time.

As for whether head coach Jens Keller can continue to coach Schalke 04 after losing this game, Yang Muge doesn't care. He has become accustomed to it. Since he played in Schalke 04's first team, he has seen how Schalke 04 frequently changes head coaches.

Anyway, no matter who is the head coach, he will perform well and train hard.

※※※

The Ruhr derby, which was full of topics and fog before the game, ended, and Dortmund won again. After the game, Klopp seemed cautious when attending the press conference. Just like Zhou Yi's answer, he was aware of whether he was healthy or not. He had to listen to the opinions of the team doctor. So he didn't know whether Zhou Yi can start and play the whole game in the next game.

Dortmund's next game is the 11th round of the league, with them playing Stuttgart at home. The next game is the fourth group stage in the Champions League, and they will welcome Arsenal at home.

Since Dortmund is now behind in the league, the league is also very important to them. They cannot easily give up the match against Stuttgart, which has affected their preparations for the Champions League match against Arsenal.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi finally made a comeback at this time and was in good condition, which made many people less anxious.

This can be seen from the answers from other Dortmund players who were interviewed after the Rulder game.

Reus gave very high praise to Zhou Yi's comeback performance: "I'm very happy that Zhou Yi was able to catch up with this derby. Everyone has seen his performance on the court, which is simply shocking. It's hard to believe that this is a performance that someone who hasn't played in the game for more than a month before..."

Mark, who scored goals in the game, was simply a brainless fan of Zhou Yi: "It's unbelievable! Zhou Yi's performance shows how important he is to us! We need him very much! I'm glad he's back!"

Aubameyang: "Before I joined Dortmund, I heard about Zhou Yi's name. I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with such an excellent player. His appearance made each of us feel at ease and happy..."

Even Mkhitaryan, who sat on the bench because of Zhou Yi's comeback, was convinced by Zhou Yi's performance: "After he came on the court, everything seemed to have become simple. Everyone knew what to do. This feeling was wonderful, and it didn't seem to be true..."

After the game, German media began to win the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball Award for Zhou Yi:

"...Zhou Yi's timely comeback and outstanding performance in the Ruhr derby will provide strong support for him in the competition for the Golden Globe Award. Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in this game is impressive. I believe that no one can ignore his performance during the selection..."

After winning the European Best Player Award at the beginning of the new season, Zhou Yi's supporters set their sights on the Golden Globe Awards jointly organized by FIFA and French Football.

When Zhou Yi was injured before, some of his supporters were worried that Zhou Yi would be injured for too long, which would affect his ranking in this annual awards.

You should know that the selection methods of FIFA's Golden Ball Awards and UEFA's European Best Player Awards are different. Professional media voting accounts for too small and does not affect the final result. On the contrary, the voting of the national team captain and head coach is more important, and their references when voting are more recent media reports.

If Zhou Yi can show more in the media during this period and show his presence, perhaps they will consider writing Zhou Yi’s name in front of them when voting...

At the end of October, it was time for French Football to announce the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball Awards 23. Before that, Zhou Yi made such a wonderful performance in the Roul derby, which of course would have a positive impact on him in the voting selection.

However, Zhou Yi himself was very frank about this. When he was asked by reporters after the game, he shook his head and smiled: "It's certainly good to win the Golden Globe Award, but it doesn't matter if you can't win it."
