After Zhou Yi came off the court, the Chinese team's midfield control also declined.

Anxious to score a equalizer, Syria began to counterattack all the counterattacks, and in the seventy-seventh minute, using the Chinese team's backcourt mistakes, pulled back a goal.

After that, Gao Hongbo also adjusted the team's tactics to become a contracted defense.

Strive to hold the lead of this ball.

Because in the first round, the Chinese team lost to Syria 2:3 on the road. They have two away goals. As long as this game can win 2-1, it will take advantage of the away goal in the group ranking, ranking ahead of Syria and ranking first in the group.

In the end, the Chinese team successfully defended the victory.

After this game, the Chinese team and Syria shared the same points, but because of the advantage of scoring away goals, ranked first in the group.

As long as the final round of the group stage, the Chinese team can defeat Vietnam on the road, they will complete the goal set by Gao Hongbo "out of the group as the first".

And Zhou Yi played a vital role in the process of accomplishing this goal.

He can even be called "fire fighting" when he returns to China this time. Without him, the Chinese team may not be able to beat Syria at home.

After the game, Zhou Yi did not go back to the hotel with the players, but drove directly to the airport. He will fly back to Germany directly to participate in the preparation of the league in Dortmund.

After returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi did not return to training immediately. Klopp gave Zhou Yi a day off, giving him a good rest and also jet lag.

So one day later, Zhou Yicai returned to training.

During the training, Klopp found that besides being a little tired, Zhou Yi showed no signs of jerking with the team. He was very satisfied.

Before Zhou Yi participated in the national team's game, Klopp's biggest concern was Zhou Yi's physical fitness, and the second is that Zhou Yi did not participate in the team's training during the winter break, and it might not keep up with the team's training rhythm.

But from the perspective of Zhou Yi's training. There is no second problem.

Zhou Yi's physical fitness did not recover. Therefore, Klopp modified Zhou Yi's training plan to allow him to follow the physical coach for physical recovery training, without having to practice with the team.

At 0:30 am on January 18th, Beijing time, Dortmund's away challenge to Cologne started.

Zhou Yi, who participated in the national team competition, was also the starter.

This was his fourth consecutive start in Dortmund.

Because of participating in the national team competition. Zhou Yi played only half of the game this time and was replaced at halftime.

He had neither goals nor assists in the first half.

But Dortmund's contribution to leading Cologne with two goals in the first half is not small.

He has no direct assists. It helped Dortmund to control the situation.

In the end Dortmund defeated Cologne 3:2 away.

A few hours before this game, the Chinese team also defeated Vietnam 2-1 away, and finally determined to get the group first. Advance to the Asian Cup finals.

After playing against Cologne, Sahin recovered from his injury. Start training with the team.

The Dortmund media has already begun to look forward to the scene of Sha Xin and Zhou Yi appearing on the court at the same time.

"Dual controlled midfielder, Dortmund will become the team with the strongest midfield control in the Bundesliga!"

A week later, the nineteenth round of the league. Dortmund vs. Hamburg.

In this game, Zhou Yi did not affect his starting because of Sha Xin's injury. He still made his debut.

After full rest and training Zhou Yi, his physical fitness has recovered, so this time he played for 70 minutes before he was replaced.

And he had an assist before being replaced. Help Dortmund defeat Hamburg at home 2:0.

The person who changed Zhou Yi happened to be Sha Xin.

This is Sahin's first appearance after being injured in the game against Hoffenheim. After playing, Sahin performed generally. However, after two months of injury, the most important thing for Sha Xin is not to have any wonderful performances. To be able to step on the court again is already a victory for him.

As for the status or something, slowly find it back.

In the twentieth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Stuttgart away.

This game, Zhou Yi continued to start, although Sha Xin came back from injury, and came off the bench in the last game.

But this does not mean that Sha Xin must grab Zhou Yi's starting qualification after he can play.

Although Sha Xin has been the team's main force and midfielder before this.

But now Zhou Yi has performed better in the time of replacing him. In any way, there is no reason to replace him to make way for Sha Xin.

So even if it was the core, it must now be honest from the bench, and regain the main position with its excellent performance.

In the final match, Dortmund drew Stuttgart 1:1 away.

Zhou Yi didn't have assists and goals, but he did a very good job of tandem in the midfield. Otherwise, Dortmund will lose if this game is not good.

Shaxin replaced Zhou Yi again in the 66th minute. After playing, the performance was better than after the bench came out in the last game. It can be seen that he is gradually finding the state.

Next, Dortmund played against Frankfurt at home. As in the last match against Stuttgart, it was still Zhou Yi starting and Sahin came off the bench.

In the first half, when Zhou Yi was full of energy, he performed well and dedicated an assist to the team to help Dortmund lead Frankfurt 2-1 at home. This is also Zhou Yi's fifth assist in the first team in Dortmund this season.

After his physical decline in the second half, his performance was not as active as in the first half. However, Klopp did not worry about the decline of the team's midfield control, and he replaced Zhou Yi with Shaxin in the 65th minute.

Shaxin also completed an assist soon after his appearance, helping Dortmund to lead Frankfurt 3-1.

"Sahin! Nice return! Both Saxin and Zhou Yi are in excellent condition. I think this must be a happy worry for Klopp!" Marcel Leff said.

He was right. When celebrating the goal, Klopp said to assistant coach Bovac: "It seems we need to find a way as soon as possible so that both of them can play at the same time, Zelico."

"No problem." The team's assistant coach, tactical master Jericho Bovac said.

In the end Dortmund defeated Frankfurt 3-1 at home and won again after a draw.

Advance towards the Champions League qualification next season.

In the next game, they will challenge a strong opponent-Bayern Munich.

After the game against Frankfurt, Dortmund players found that their training content has changed.

The coaching staff is experimenting with a new tactical idea, which is to let Sha Xin and Zhou Yi play at the same time.

The players were not surprised by this change. Zhou Yi was able to play because Sha Xin was injured, so when Sha Xin comes back from injury and performs well, he will return to the starting lineup sooner or later. However, Zhou Yi's performance is also good, it is impossible for Sha Xin to return to the starting lineup, let Zhou Yi as a substitute, this is also unfair to Zhou Yi.

So the two of them will definitely play at the same time.

As for how to play at the same time, this is what the coaching staff has to consider.

Through training, the players saw some clues.

During the period when Sahin was injured, Dortmund changed from 442 to 4231. The original starting forward Qi Dan lost his starting qualification and became a substitute. This is to give Zhou Yiteng a position. Before 442, there were two midfielders in the midfield, one was Sahin, the other was Sven Bend and Kyle back and forth. This combination ensures the defensive hardness and organization ability of the midfield.

After Sha Xin was injured, although Zhou Yi successfully replaced Sha Xin's organization, Zhou Yi couldn't help much in defense. If he continues to play 442, there are only four players in the midfield and only one midfielder, Klopp is worried that the team's midfield defense is not hard enough.

So he changed the team’s formation from 442 to 4231, starting with Sven Bender and Kyle in the midfield. Two defensive midfielders ensured midfield defensive stiffness, while also allowing the midfield Zhou Yi can organize attacks with confidence and without fear of losing the ball in the confrontation.

This formation worked well. In the case of Sahin's injury, Dortmund has achieved consecutive victories.

The players have basically adapted to this formation, so adjust on this basis.

Sha Xin returned to the back waist position, responsible for rhythm control and scheduling, while Zhou Yi continued to stay in the front waist position~lightnovelpub.net~Being closer to the restricted area, responsible for more elaborate offensive organizations, such as the deadly last pass .

The two keep in touch with each other and have a clear division of labor.

At the same time, he can also switch back and forth, Zhou Yi can retreat to the lower back to go down, Sha Xin can also go forward to organize an attack, after all, Sha Xin also has a certain fatal pass ability.

This is the dual core Klopp equipped Dortmund.

This is equivalent to double insurance.

When any core performs poorly, the other core can continue to work.

Now even computers are multi-core, and playing multi-core on the football field is naturally an inevitable product of the development of the times.
