Champion’s Heart

v5 Chapter 191: A bitter start

Half a month later, Dortmund ended the training in Spain and returned to Dortmund to continue training. After all, the weather in Spain and Dortmund is very different. They still have to come back to adapt. They participated in the Bundesliga, not La Liga...

During this period of training, Klopp gradually discovered a place that made him strange-Zhou Yi seemed to consciously strengthen the shooting training...

This is not common in the previous training. Zhou Yi is a midfielder. The main task is to organize offense. Shooting is not his first task. Training time is limited. He will naturally focus on increasing his passing ability and getting rid of it. Ability, not shooting.

So why does Zhou Yi step up the shot now?

After Klopp felt strange, he decided to ask Zhou Yi directly for a clear question.

Zhou Yi is now the team's most important player, the most dependent player, the most important and indispensable player. His every move, the coaching staff are very concerned, and even wish to know every one of his ideas.

Zhou Yi was approached by Klopp and asked why he was shooting, he was a little ignorant-the head coach is all right to pay attention to this...

He thinks this is a trivial thing, but he didn't expect it to be noticed by the head coach, and he specifically asked him why.

why?

He couldn’t tell Klopp because he wanted to marry Cortana with a hat trick?

However, this kind of thing has always been susceptible to the quick-witted Zhou Yi.

Facing Klopp's question, Zhou Yi answered very sincerely: "This, as a midfielder, in fact, I have a lot of opportunities to shoot after the game. I hope to strengthen my scoring ability to serve the ball The team provides more help. Now the situation of the team, you also know that coaches need players to have more skills... If I can score more goals, can I reduce the pressure on the team?"

Klopp thought about it after hearing it and thought that Zhou Yi made sense.

After getting a reasonable explanation, Klopp's curiosity is gone. He just told Zhou Yi that although it is a good thing to think about the team, he should not put too much pressure and burden on him. After all, his health is only good. Is the first...

As for Klopp's kindness, Zhou Yi certainly accepted it sincerely.

On the afternoon of January 25, Dortmund faced Augsburg at home, which was the first game of the second half of the season.

A day ago, the second half of the Bundesliga season has already begun, Bayern Munich defeated Mönchengladbach 2-0 away.

Guardiola's team has been as stable and strong as ever.

And another competitor of Dortmund, Leverkusen and Dortmund's game kick off at the same time.

They challenged Freiburg away.

Augsburg has performed well this season, with seventeen rounds in the league and they ranked eighth. However, this team is definitely not as good as Dortmund, so Dortmund fans hope that the team can beat Augsburg at home, and do not think it is too difficult.

As a result, just two minutes after the game started, an accident occurred on the court.

Kuba, who started the game in the first two minutes, suffered a knee injury due to a shovel on the wing. At that time, he could not fall to the ground, covering his face with his hands, and his expression was painful.

Everyone saw this scene and shuddered in their hearts, realizing that the situation was not good-if it was a minor injury, it was absolutely impossible for Kuba to take this action.

The slow motion of the Quba shovel just replayed in the TV broadcast.

After his left foot was shoveled out, the right leg supporting the body was under tremendous pressure. Then suddenly, his right leg lost all the support, causing his body to lose balance and fall to the ground...

"Look like this, it should be the knee..." Marcel Leif guessed. "If it's a knee, Kuba's injury is serious... Dortmund is really unlucky. This is the first game of the second half of the season, and this game only started two minutes..."

The TV broadcast quickly gave Klopp a close-up shot. Klopp opened his hands, but there was no anger and dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he was helpless. It seemed to be like: "What can I do? I also Very desperate!"

Immediately afterwards, the camera gave Yan Min who got up from the bench.

In this game, Yan Min is a substitute. Kuba started. Unexpectedly, he only made the bench for two minutes. He didn't sit up and was about to get up...

This should be the shortest bench experience he has ever experienced...

"Yan Min is going to play, this is really an accident...In only three minutes, he only stayed on the bench for three minutes..." Duan Xin also felt that this was too magical.

Yan Min, who was warming up, was still a little stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Quba was on the sideline when he was injured, so he did not delay the game when he was receiving treatment.

Dortmund, who is one less person, did not choose to recover and solidly defend, but continued to attack.

Royce forced a foul on the Augsburg player when he broke through on the left and Dortmund scored a free kick on the sideline.

At the same time, after Dr. Braun's inspection, Quba was directly lifted onto the ambulance with a stretcher. He was lying on the stretcher, covering his eyes with one hand, frustrated.

The Dortmund fans in the stands all stood up and gave him applause.

Although Kuba has been replaced, Yan Min is still warming up on the sidelines and has not had time to play.

Dortmund, who is one less person, logically should slow down the pace, for example, this free kick is a good opportunity to delay time.

But Zhou Yi did not do so. He ran to the foul spot for the first time, stepped on the football under his feet, and then looked up to the right of the penalty area diagonally ahead.

There is a huge empty place.

At the same time, Mark Wagner also looked up at Zhou Yi in front. When he discovered Zhou Yi's action, he immediately realized what he was doing.

He turned and ran to the right.

Seeing Mark's running position, Zhou Yi took a step back, not waiting for the players in Augsburg to line up, or waiting for his teammates to be inserted in place, and did not wait for the referee's whistle to sound. The football kicked to the right of the penalty area!

"Fast free kick!" Marcel Leif just said that Kuba's injury, and now see the new situation on the court, quickly interrupted the previous topic.

When Zhou Yi kicked the football to the right side of the penalty area, and the point was behind the goal, Mark also quickly moved forward and burst into the penalty area!

When the players in Augsburg turned back to see Mark's position, they all raised their arms and thought that Mark was offside.

However, neither the referee nor the referee made any representations about it. The referee rushed in. With the football running forward, this means that Dortmund’s free kick is no problem. The referee approved it!

In the case of completely unmarked, Mark jumped high in the corner of the small penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal!

Augsburg goalkeeper Hitz gave up, but it was too late and he was caught off guard.

He failed to stop Mark's header and the football flew into the goal behind them...

When Dortmund fans were still sad and frustrated by Kuba's injury, surprise came!

"Oh! Oh! Oh oh oh oh!!! Dortmund is ahead! Mark Wagner!!!! A beautiful free kick quickly sent off and caught Augsburg by surprise!"

"Mark understands Zhou Yi's intention!" Duan Xin said with emotion when he saw the slow-motion replay of the goal. He saw the scene where Mark and Zhou Yi looked up and observed each other. "After Kuba's injury successfully attracted everyone's attention, Zhou Yi used this to launch a fast break, and the tacit understanding between Mark and Zhou Yi is the key to the goal!"

The goal immediately diluted the frustration that Kuba's injury brought to Dortmund fans. The cheers of Westfield burst out and Klopp also excitedly celebrated on the sidelines.

At this time, goals are particularly valuable because they can greatly boost morale and prevent players from being depressed due to Kuba’s injury.

Zhou Yi's free kick quickly showed that his mind was clear. When many people hadn't figured out the situation, he was keenly aware of the chance of scoring and realized it.

Mind is also the know-how that Zhou Yi can become a world-class midfielder at such a young age.

The cooperation of Zhou Yi and Mark brought goals for Dortmund and stabilized the mood of Dortmund players.

Later, Yan Min came to the scene~lightnovelpub.net~Dortmund continued to put pressure on Augsburg.

After playing well against Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Yan Min is now more and more confident in playing, daring to fully release himself on the court, giving full play to his strengths, and constantly harassing Austria with explosive and flexible changes The defense line of Gersburg.

Each of his performances can win the cheers of the fans in the stands.

Now Dortmund fans also like the young man Yan Min because he is full of vitality and can always dedicate his pleasing performance on the court.

Under continuous pressure, Augsburg's goal fell again in the 34th minute.

This time it was Royce who took advantage of a direct free kick to allow the football to successfully bypass the wall and fly into the goal.

Two positioning **** helped Dortmund to achieve a two-ball lead.

If there is no injury to Kuba's departure, the start of the second half of the league will be perfect for Dortmund...
