Chapter 169 Two strategies
A 0:0 away game with Atletico Madrid means that Dortmund's hope of advancing to the semi-finals is more than 50%.
Chinese commentator He Ping was a little disappointed because neither team played well in the first half, and neither Chinese players had much highlights. Zhou Yi was more likely to pass the cross and return, and there were not many wonderful passes ahead, and Sun Pan also had few wonderful saves.
If this is the highest level of China derby, it would really disappoint the Chinese fans who stayed up late in front of the TV.
As a Chinese fan, of course I hope everyone will play more openly in this game, Dortmund will attack more, and be more inverted from now on. In this way, Zhou Yi can contribute more exciting passes to us in the offense, and Sun Pan also has more opportunities to perform.
But unfortunately, the views of neutral fans are often no one cares about. Dortmund and Atletico Madrid cannot give up their established tactics in order to satisfy the wishes of Chinese fans.
During the halftime break, Klopp praised the team's performance in the first half. In his opinion, the team played well in the first half and still played like this in the second half. But he added that if there is a better chance in the second half, then he will fight back firmly. If he can steal a away goal and a victory in the away game, who wouldn't want to?
Of course, he didn't explain what a "better opportunity" is. Anyway, how to judge this opportunity is left to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi has proved that he has extremely high talent and ability in this regard with countless games, so I believe that Zhou Yi is the only one.
If Zhou Yi thinks the opportunity is good, of course he will not be able to fall back in the backcourt.

The atmosphere in the locker room here in Dortmund is relatively calm, and the atmosphere in the locker room at Atletico Madrid is a little nervous. After all, this is their home court, and they have wasted half-game time at their home court. There are only 45 minutes left for them to do something, and they must score goals, and the earlier they score, the better.
Simeone kept encouraging his players in the locker room, asking them to give it a try in the second half and show their courage.
How come this is like being in your own home game?
It's like a desperate attempt on the away game...
When walking from the locker room to the court, Sun Pan also told his teammates that they would push up with confidence and boldness, and not worry about defense. He was there behind him. He said that if he didn't let the opponent score, he would definitely not let the opponent score. In this way, the defenders could be left and used in the offense.
Sun Pan is a goalkeeper, and he actually can't put in much effort to the team's offense, which is the only way he can help the team's offense.
Although he is friends with Zhou Yi, since he meets on the court, he is the enemy. If he is the enemy, who cares about the enemy's feelings and thoughts? Of course, he has to defeat the other party and let him go home.
And I believe Zhou Yi must have the same idea.
No matter how many relationships you have off the court, as long as you see them on the court, it will be just a word!
Defeating the other party with all your might is the best respect to the other party.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Dortmund still looked slow, while Atletico Madrid's offensive became even more fierce.
In the minds of many Atletico Madrid players, Zhou Yi is completely equated with "fake fall"...
But in fact, every time I watch the slow-motion replay, I can tell that the Atletico Madrid player's foul is fine, and Zhou Yi's fall makes sense.
