Chapter 130: Red Gotze
When Dortmund broke through Bayern Munich's goal, it was not only the Bayern Munich players, but also the commentators.
They thought that like the first half, Dortmund's offensive was nothing more than a dying struggle.
Unexpectedly, the trapped beast was still fighting, and even made Dortmund, the trapped beast, really bit Bayern Munich hard!
They equalized the score!
The TV broadcast is replaying the goal just now.
What everyone's most concerned about is how Zhou Yi passed the football to Reus's feet under tight defense.
He was forced to turn around and protect the ball by Martinez.
At this time, like Martinez, Boateng and others, everyone felt that Dortmund's offense would be temporarily slowed down.
But just as they were thinking this way, the football was suddenly passed from Zhou Yi's feet to Reus.
Because it was too sudden, there was no sign in advance.
Most people will look up and observe when passing the ball, but Zhou Yi competed with Martinez throughout the whole process, and basically never looked up and looked up. How could he know that after the heel knocked the football out, his teammates would be there to respond?
The slow-motion replay did not answer everyone's questions, but instead made everyone even more incredible.
Because Zhou Yi really had never observed it in slow motion, but he just passed the football so firmly. If he hadn't been absolutely sure, his kick would be no different from irresponsible random passes. He would have given up the ball to someone else.
But Zhou Yi really passed the football to Reus's feet, and Reus really ran to the air and received the ball.
"Zhou Yi's pass... is really whimsical! And it's successful! No one knows whether he was fooled or intentionally... This is not important, what's important is that Dortmund equalized the score because of his assist!"
The TV broadcast took the time to give Guardiola a close-up shot. Guardiola in the camera was incredible about being equalized by Dortmund.
But in fact, what made him show an incredible expression was not Reus' goal, but Zhou Yi's pass.
The ball is quite difficult to pass.
Guardiola was once the head coach of Barcelona, and Barcelona is not short of passers-by masters. Both Xavi and Iniesta, the passes are excellent.
So Guardiola will naturally compare the players he has worked with with Zhou Yi, and then find that Zhou Yi's passing ability has even surpassed Xavi and Iniesta... You should know that Zhou Yi is only 22 years old this year, and he has such strength and achievements at such a young age. As long as he is not troubled by injuries in the future, it is simply unlimited...
Guardiola only found out about what Zhou Yi came to Barcelona to participate in the youth team competition and was valued by La Macia later. What would have happened if he had known about this at the first time? Unless Guardiola knew about Zhou Yi's future achievements, there might not be any change.
A 16-year-old boy who has never received professional football training actually wants the club to guarantee his future appearance in the first team... It's too far to think. Even Guardiola cannot agree to this condition, and Messi has never enjoyed such treatment!
Besides, even if he was allowed to join the first team, how could he compete with Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets? Later, Barcelona became interested in Zhou Yi because Xavi was old and wanted to find a successor for Xavi.
However, until Guardiola left Barcelona, Xavi had not found a suitable successor, so he could only continue to shine.
Then, Guardiola came to Bayern Munich and once again became opponents with Zhou Yi.

Reus' goal allowed Dortmund to equalize the score and boosted the morale of Dortmund players.
In the first half, they besieged Bayern Munich for more than ten minutes and scored no goals, which made many players doubt the effectiveness of this tactic.
In the second half, with the same tactics, they scored goals, and the players' confidence in the tactics came back immediately.
So when the game started again, Dortmund players continued to launch a fierce offensive against Bayern Munich's goal.
With the cheers of home fans, their offensive really threatened Bayern Munich's goal.
Faced with such a severe situation, Guardiola intends to make adjustments.
He asked assistant coach Herman Grande to send Gotze.
Gotze knew he was going to play, so he looked at Guardiola, thinking that his idol would chat with him and give some instructions. But Guardiola did not do that. He stood on the sidelines, with his back facing Gotze, and was closely monitoring the situation on the field.
The specific tactical arrangement was handed over to the "tiger" Herman Grande.
The old coach Hermann, with white hair, looked at Gotze with a focus on Guardiola, so he coughed, reminding Gotze to come back to his senses.
Hearing his cough, Gotze withdrew his gaze.
Hermann held the tactical board and said to him: "I know this game has a different meaning to you, Mario. But after playing, you still have to focus on the game. Your task is very heavy..."

When Hermann finished his tactical arrangements, he brought Gotze to the sidelines and arranged for him to come on as a substitute.
Seeing Gotze standing next to the fourth official, everyone realized that he was going to appear.
So a huge boo sounded over the West** field, causing the players on both sides to be strangled.
Zhou Yi passed the football out with one kick, then turned his head to look at the sidelines. He saw Gotze standing there, wearing Bayern Munich's red jersey.
"Geze in the red jersey is really uncomfortable..." Duan Xin sighed.
In the past, when commenting on Dortmund's games, Gotze always wore yellow and black jerseys. Dortmund did not have a red color scheme in home, away, or second away jerseys. So now Gotze is indeed a bit unfamiliar.
"The booing is so loud that I can hardly hear my voice!" Marcel Leif raised his voice and said. "This is the 'gift' carefully prepared by Dortmund fans for Gotze! The former Dortmund hero has now returned to West** Stadium, but has become Judas in the eyes of Dortmund fans. It's really sad... I wonder what kind of performance can Gotze, who came on as a substitute in such an unfriendly environment?"
When the dead ball occurred on the field, the fourth official raised the substitution sign on the sidelines.
Gotze is about to play, and he is replaced by another former Dortmund player, center Lewandowski.
Lewandowski missed several opportunities in this game, and his performance was not too good. I don’t know if it was affected by the unfriendly atmosphere...
When Lewandowski took the ball on the court, he could also hear booing at him. Although he left Dortmund this summer, he was even more unreasonable. But the die-hard fans are magical creatures. They often don’t care about right or wrong, but they care more that they must not let the interests of the clubs they support. Lewandowski’s actions angered them.
Lewandowski thought he should be a person who was not popular at West** Stadium, but when he was replaced by Gotze, he realized how wrong his previous thoughts were...
The boo sounded overwhelmingly, like a huge wave, and such a terrible boo sound was something he had never felt during the game.
Compared with the booing that Gotze experienced, his booing sounded like he was tickling him.
When he played for Dortmund, he was proud and excited about the fanaticism and support of Dortmund fans. But now, after changing his identities, the fanaticism of Dortmund fans has become a headache for them...
※※※
Gotze ran onto the field with a huge boo. He looked unchanged and was not affected by the boo.
But who knows whether he is forcibly calming down?
Those neutrals turned their sympathy to Gotze. They naturally believed that any person playing in such an environment would be a huge pressure, and they would inevitably be pitiful and worthy of sympathy.
They think Gotze is just an ordinary transfer, just like a company employee has changed jobs. If he makes his own choice, he should not be treated like this.
Many people online criticized Dortmund fans for being too narrow-minded. When they booed Gotze, they completely forgot that they had cheered Gotze. Their contradictory approach was simply a great irony.
Unlike those fans who feel the fate of Gotze, the professional commentators are more concerned about now. Bayern Munich, who replaced Gotze, has no real centers at all. How do they break through Dortmund's goal?
Could it be that Guardiola wants to play the strikeless tactic in Bayern Munich?
This is really Guardiola's style...
