Champion’s Heart

v5 Chapter 303: Seize first

Not long after the match between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, the match between Dortmund and Leverkusen began.

This match is obviously more worthy of attention than the match between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen.

Bayern Munich has won the victory, and now it is Dortmund's turn to face the pressure.

Zhou Yi's lack of a starter makes everyone very pessimistic about Dortmund's prospects, and wonders why Klopp did not rotate Zhou Yi anyway. Why did he want to rotate Zhou Yi in such an important game this time.

After the game started, the television broadcast shot quickly reached Dortmund's bench.

Zhou Yi wore a coat and sat on the bench.

"This scene is really rare..." Marcel Leif didn't know whether it was emotion or vomiting. "But Klopp is indeed bold enough. In this game, Zhou Yi is sitting on the bench. I don't know if it is because of the physical fitness as the media guessed. But because of physical fitness, it is better than injury. ?"

Zhou Yi sat on the bench and watched his teammates play on the court.

Regarding why he was sitting on the bench, in fact, this time the media guessed right, not so conspiracy, for one reason-physical fitness.

After many consecutive high-intensity matches against the starting lineup, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is nearly exhausted. Especially for the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid, Zhou Yi's physical fitness requirements are very high. In order to help the team win, he also tried his best.

Under such circumstances, catching up with a week of double matches, if you keep this rhythm game, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is difficult to recover, then at the most critical time, there may be problems.

After full discussion with the team medical team and fitness coach, Klopp thought that Zhou Yi should be given a proper rest.

So he communicated with Zhou Yi, saying that he will put Zhou Yifang on the bench in Dortmund's game against Leverkusen so that he can rest.

At the same time, depending on the specific situation, decide whether to let him play in the game against Leverkusen.

If Dortmund's team performed well, firmly suppressed Leverkusen, and scored the lead, then Zhou Yi can rest on the bench with a rest of the game.

But if the situation is not good, Dortmund and Leverkusen are inseparable, or even at the disadvantage, then Klopp must consider using Zhou Yi.

Regarding this point, he and Zhou Yi said well in advance.

Zhou Yi has no objection to this.

Although he also hopes that he can play 90 minutes, so that the team has a greater chance of winning. But he also knows that the next schedule is still very difficult. Without rest at this time, the subsequent game will be unsustainable.

Cortana also warned him that it is best to take a proper break to avoid increasing the chance of injury.

It's the World Cup soon. Zhou Yike doesn't want to be injured before the World Cup and miss the World Cup.

This is a big dream of his life.

Champions League, League, Domestic Cup, Super Cup, World Club Cup... He has won the team honors in a club. What games have not participated?

I also played in the Asian Cup of the national team, just one World Cup.

So Zhou Yi obeyed the coaching staff's arrangement for him.

But deep down, Zhou Yi is ready to play at any time.

Because of the games simulated in the virtual space, Zhou Yi has been very clear about what this game will be like.

Leverkusen is not easy to deal with, especially Leverkusen who wants to keep the top four positions in the league.

In the simulation game, Zhou Yi put himself on the bench, and then simulated the game, he watched as a spectator.

Without him, Dortmund and Leverkusen played very tightly, and it was difficult to take advantage.

In dozens of simulated games, most of the cases are the same. The two sides have wins and losses, and there are many draws.

The actual game is exactly as Zhou Yi has simulated.

Just after the game began, Leverkusen showed an aggressive offensive.

Since the start of Dortmund, Leverkusen players have been pressing along the way. In the face of this situation, Dortmund players can only continue to pass back.

Even if it reached the goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Leverkusen’s players did not mean to give up, and continued to rush to Weidenfeller in the penalty area, even if Weidenfeller took a big foot to open the football, They turned their robbing into useless work, and they did not hesitate for half a second.

It's one thing to grab it or not, but the key is to show oppression.

This kind of action can only cause a little psychological pressure on the opponent players, but even a little accumulation will also cause quantitative changes and qualitative changes.

In the fifth minute, Dortmund launched an attack.

Yan Min made a shot from the left side of the big penalty area line and was saved by Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno.

The football did not fly out of the bottom line, but fell into the penalty area and was released by Leverkusen's defender.

Leverkusen took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and hit Dortmund's door.

Sun Xingming took a long shot and was dragged out of the beam by Weidenfeller, Leverkusen scored a corner.

The Korean star punished the corner kick.

Before this matchup, the Korean media did not re-hype the Asian derby. No one compared Sun Xingming with Zhou Yi, because no one could tell that the two were not in the same grade. What's more... Zhou Yi didn't start the game. The two didn't compete on the same stage. It's hard to compare.

Sun Xingming kicked the corner kick. When Humels and top defender Toprak competed for the top point, they rubbed the football and the football flew directly to the middle of the penalty area!

Then Kisling shook his head there and rubbed the football towards the goal!

Hummels was equivalent to ferry to Kiessling...

The football was kicked out of a parabola by Kiessling. The football bypassed Weidenfeller’s ten fingers and fell from the air, hitting the beam!

But the football did not fly out of the bottom line, but fell down and bounced back to the goal.

Leverkusen's captain, Lars Bender, appeared wisely at the landing point, shook his head a little, and pushed the football towards the goal in close proximity!

Weidenfeller had just jumped up to pounce on Kisling's header. It was too late to make a second reaction at this time.

Football flew into Dortmund's goal!

"nice shot!!!"

There was a burst of cheers in the coach of Bayern Munich.

On the TV screen of the bus, a live broadcast of the match between Dortmund and Leverkusen is playing.

This is a game that the Bayern Munich team also pays close attention to.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that they hadn't returned to the hotel yet. Dortmund lost the ball. It was a bit too fast...

But losing the ball is always a good thing for Bayern Munich.

They have won Werder Bremen, and if Dortmund loses, Bayern Munich will return to the league first.

After the cheers, players discussed the game enthusiastically.

"... Where did Dortmund come from with confidence, thinking they could put Zhou Yi on the bench and win the game?"

Although it is a mortal enemy, Bayern Munich's players still highly praise Zhou Yi. At the very least, Zhou Yi will be regarded as the most indispensable figure in Dortmund.

"Klopp is obviously a faint move, what did he think?"

"No matter what he thinks, we are good anyway..."

Guardiola sat in the front of the bus, and naturally heard the players' comments.

Based on his knowledge of Klopp, he now feels that Klopp made this decision with no surprise. Because he is a gambler... he must be betting this time, and Dortmund without Zhou Yi can also beat Leverkusen on the road.

But from now on, he may have to gamble...

There are no gamblers in the world who have always won and will not lose, and Klopp cannot escape this pattern.

※※※

"Lals Bender! He made his first record for Leverkusen! Only seven minutes into the opening, Leverkusen scored a goal lead! Dortmund is in trouble!"

Huge cheers rang throughout the Bayer Arena.

In this cheers~lightnovelpub.net~ Lars Bender and his Leverkusen teammates hugged together to celebrate the goal.

Zhou Yi sat on the bench and leaned his head against the back of the chair. He was not surprised by this start. In simulating so many games, he also saw Leverkusen scored at the opening...

So it’s not really surprising to lose the ball, the key is what Dortmund will do after losing the ball.

Klopp got up from the seat and walked to the side of the court, shouting to Dortmund players on the court: "Don't panic! Hold on!"

Without Zhou Yi on the court, he had to do more.

After the game restarted, Dortmund players did not show confusion, which made Klopp and Zhou Yi relieved.

Although he lost the ball, as long as he doesn't mess up, there is still a chance to pull it back.

In the next game, the two sides fell into a tug of war. Everyone had a chance, but none of them had a particularly good chance, and neither goal was scored.
