Chapter two hundred and thirty-one temporarily indistinguishable
Gotze didn't know what Dortmund's Ruhr derby was like at another stadium. He is now only focusing on the game with him.
Originally, Bayern Munich had already led two goals, but a penalty kick suddenly made Bayern Munich in danger.
Of course, Gotze would not be willing to accept such a result. With little game time left, he would have to secure the victory for the team.
Almost while Zhou Yi missed a great opportunity, Bayern Munich broke the football off the frontcourt, and they got a quick counterattack opportunity.
After getting the ball, Gotze did not pass the ball, but chose to dribble and break through. He drove the ball straight in. After dribbling past one of the opponent's players' tackle, he did not drive the ball forward, but passed the ball directly on the left because he saw Ribery being diagonally inserted at high speed.
If his pass was received by Ribery in the air, he would have entered the penalty area at this time. Facing Hamburg goalkeeper Craft who was attacking, he had a light shot. After the football passed over Craft, he rushed into the goal close to the post!
"Ribery! Ribery! He once again expanded the lead for Bayern Munich!"
After Ribery scored, he turned around and found Gotze and hugged him to celebrate the goal.
"Although this goal was scored by Ribery, it came from Gotze's sharp breakthrough and accurate pass in the frontcourt! After several rounds of this game, Gotze returned to the front position. He performed very well, scoring one goal and assisting in the game... I think Guardiola should think carefully and fix Gotze in this position, right?"

"Bayern Munich scored a goal, Ribery, 3:1..." In the coaches' coaches' seat, the coaches quickly conveyed a key message.
Klopp just curled his lips when he heard the news, which was not surprising.
Bayern Munich is actually in good shape today. Hertha Berlin should not have many better opportunities except for that penalty kick. With Bayern Munich's strength and condition, it is not incredible that they won the game away. From the beginning, he did not expect Hertha Berlin to hold Bayern Munich's pace of progress towards the championship throne.
His eyes are still on the game in front of him, and this is the key. Dortmund only leads one goal, and this advantage is not stable and may be reversed at any time.
Although Zhou Yi's shot did not score, Dortmund still suppressed Schalke 04, and Zhou Yi is still active. Now when Yang Muge defends him, on the one hand, he must be careful of his deadly pass, and on the other hand, he must be careful of his shot... The difficulty of defense has doubled compared to before, so it will be even more difficult to defend.
In the 80th minute, when Zhou Yi faced Yang Muge, he picked the football out of his steal and wanted to break through with the trend.
Yang Muge could no longer stop him normally, so he had no choice but to reach out and pull Zhou Yi down.
Lying on the ground, Zhou Yi spread his hands and smiled on his face.
Yang Muge got up from the ground, turned around and ran away, without intending to pull him up.
Even a good friend in private is not a time to talk about friendship in such a fierce and hot Ruhr derby.
The referee did not let Yang Muge go. After all, the place where he fouled was already a dangerous area. If he had not fouled just now, Zhou Yi, who had broken through, could choose to pass the ball to his teammates, create murderous intent, and shoot by himself.
The referee showed Yang Muge a yellow card as punishment.
Zhou Yi was pulled up by his teammates in Dortmund.

Schalke 04 didn't get a good chance until the 84th minute. Boateng, who was replaced in the second half, shot hard on the right side of the frontcourt, 25 meters away from the goal. The football was knocked to the ground and saved from the baseline by Weidenfeller...
Next, Schalke 04 launched a desperate counterattack. After Schalke 04's corner kick was taken, Yang Muge grabbed the spot in the penalty area, but his header shot was high.
Yang Muge did not return to defend his half, not only him, but other players of Schalke 04 also stayed in the frontcourt, intending to grab the ball directly from the Dortmund players and launch a counterattack directly.
For Schalke 04, they are only one goal behind. Even if they cannot beat Dortmund away, it will still be a good result if they can tie the opponent.
Although this point does not help Schalke 04 consolidate their third place in the league, nor is it more likely to help them win second in the league. But this is a Roulderby, which is independent of the entire league system.
Faced with Schalke 04's crazy counterattack, Dortmund did not completely recover from the 30-meter area to defend. They continued to use their control in the midfield to fight Schalke 04 in the midfield, try to keep the football around the midfield area, stay away from the penalty area, and reduce the threat to their goals.
This is quite effective.
Schalke 04 is difficult to stop a decent attack. Their counterattack can only rely on personal abilities, such as Draxler's breakthrough and Boateng's long-range shot...
However, these single fights are not a big threat to Dortmund's defensive system.
Until the referee blew the end of the game, Schalke 04 was unable to equalize the score. Although the gap between one ball was indeed not big, Schalke 04 just couldn't get over it.
Marcel Leif said: "The game is over, Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 1-0 at home. They won a key victory. But in fact, the strength gap between the two teams is not big. In today's game, Schalke 04's performance is much better than when the two sides met in the first leg. Otherwise, they would not have lost only one away goal... But Schalke 04 has performed so well, but still has not been able to win the away game. I think this is related to their lack of an offensive organizer who is as good as Zhou Yi."
"...In fact, Schalke 04 is not without offensive opportunities, but their offensive quality is not only less than that of Dortmund, but also very unstable. Most of the offenses are more like trying a chance... Even they themselves don't know whether this offense can threaten Dortmund's goal... and Dortmund has Zhou Yi, so they continue to attack Schalke 04's goal. What's more uglier and valuable is that he can not only organize attacks for the team, but also play in person when necessary... So we can say that the gap between Schalke 04 and Dortmund is not the same ball, but the same Zhou Yi..."

After the game, Zhou Yi took the initiative to go to Yang Muge to exchange jerseys to comfort his injured heart.
While exchanging jerseys, Yang Muge held Zhou Yi's jersey and asked him: "Zhou Yi, is it true that you said about the World Cup ambition you said in the game... Want to win the championship?"
Zhou Yi grinned: "Of course it's fake! Win the World Cup? How is it possible! I'm not so arrogant. If I don't say it's so scary, how can I disturb you? Ha!"
Yang Muge rolled his eyes: "Then what is your real goal in the World Cup?"
"Apart from winning the World Cup, it's all true." Zhou Yi waved his hand and went to celebrate the victory with his teammates.
Yang Muge looked at his back and recalled Zhou Yi's words.
Then he came to his senses-that was still...a big ambition!
※※※
The match between Dortmund and Schalke 04 has ended, and the match between Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin has also ended.
Bayern Munich beat Hertha Berlin 3-1 away.
Both teams won the ball, so their score difference was still four points.
After the Bayern Munich game ended, Bayern Munich players couldn't wait to find the coaching staff and substitute teammates to inquire about the score of the other Ruld Derby.
When I heard that Dortmund beat Schalke 1-0 04, some of the players sighed regretfully.
In their opinion, this game is the best chance to widen the score gap before they talk directly with Dortmund.
It's a Ruldby after all.
And how is Schalke 04's recent condition?
In the end, I still didn't win.
So who scored the only goal for Dortmund?
"It's Zhou Yi again... Has this kid cheated recently? Have you scored consecutive goals?"
"He's in this state, right?"
"What a hard opponent..."
Everyone was talking, but Gotze did not participate.
He heard Zhou Yi's name and hid himself.
It’s Zhouyi again!
He felt that he had scored a goal in this game and had another key assist, which was already very good.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi was no less than himself. He scored the only goal in the game, helping Dortmund win a key victory.
Chapter completed!
