Chapter 82 Rival Arsenal

In the evening, Zhou Yi and his parents sat in front of the TV to watch the live game.

But at this time, the competition has not started yet. The TV is still very lively, with reporters in front sending reports and analyzing and commenting in the studio behind.

Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun still don’t understand German. For them, it is difficult to learn English now, let alone speak German.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi was next to them and gave them a simple translation.

"Are they talking about you?" Zhou Jianliang could barely hear a "Zhou Yi", because it was repeated several times on TV.

Zhou Yi nodded: "It will be a lot of the impact of Tymond if I don't go."

"Then I know what they said, it's so bad." Zhou Jianliang said.

Zhou Yi laughed when he heard his father say this.

Because that's what it means.

The German studio behind the scenes were not very optimistic about Dortmund's away game this time, because Zhou Yi did not go to London with the team.

"...Wenger said before the game that Zhou Yi did not participate in this game, and he was very sorry... I think he was lying, and his true thoughts in his heart must be happy! I am happy that Zhou Yi did not go to London!" said the guest on the TV.

The host laughed too.

"But I don't think Dortmund fans need to worry too much. At least after this game, the chance of Zhou Yi returning will be greatly increased..." After laughing, he comforted Dortmund fans.

Zhou Jianliang was actually a little worried, and he asked his son: "I said that you defended the champion this season, won't you not even be able to get out of the group stage, right?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said confidently: "How is it possible? The Champions League group stage has just begun..."

"Don't think I don't understand. After playing this game against Arsenal, half of the Champions League group stage will be over. If Dortmund loses the away game, it will be two games. It will be difficult to qualify in the end." Zhou Jianliang, as a senior fan, sneered at his son's comfort.

"Of course there is difficulty, but we will qualify in the end." Zhou Yi was very confident. "I don't know if I can defend the title, but I will never go home after the group stage. Besides, the game against Arsenal has not started yet. What if we win in the end?"

"I think it's hard..." Zhou Jianliang hummed. His son is so important to the team. He doesn't care about it. Of course, he doesn't think much of Tymond's away win. Arsenal is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually...

When Yan Min warmed up before the game, he noticed that his teammates around him were not in a very high mood.

On the one hand, this is a away game, and on the other hand, it may be because Zhou Yi did not come.

Zhou Yi had already practiced with the team before, and everyone was very happy and was waiting for Zhou Yi to return to the stadium. They were very optimistic about Zhou Yi participating in this Champions League match.

As a result, news suddenly came that Zhou Yi did not go to London...

Yan Min could understand their feelings - a person who had always been placing hopes on the other hand suddenly stopped going, and everyone's hopes were not known where to place them.

But Yan Min cannot agree with this concept.

He respected Zhou Yi very much, especially after coming to Dortmund, he personally experienced Zhou Yi's help to him.

But he never regarded Zhou Yi as a savior.

Zhou Yi cannot decide whether he can play, it depends on his personal training and warm-up performance.

Zhou Yi cannot decide whether he performs well on the court. If he is in a low state and sleepwalking, even if Zhou Yi passes him more, he will probably be squandered...

So when you come to the court, whether you can win or not and how you perform depends entirely on yourself, not others.

You can’t think you will lose just because Zhou Yi is not here.

His fighting spirit was not affected by Zhou Yi's absence.

But unfortunately, no matter how high Yan Min's fighting spirit is, he did not get the chance to start in this game.

When the game started, he sat on the bench with his teammates to watch the game.

Dortmund played well at the beginning of this game.

In the 16th minute, Mark assisted and Mkhitaryan scored the first record for the team.

He took the lead away!

The bench was full of excitement and the atmosphere improved a lot.

However, Hummels then received a yellow card in the defense. As a central defender, he took a yellow card in less than half an hour after the game started, which was definitely an unfavorable factor.

Sure enough, in the 41st minute, Arsenal opened the gap from Hummels. Hummels, who had a yellow card, was obviously more cautious when making moves while defending, which gave Arsenal a chance.

When Arsenal center Giroud jumped in the air, Hummels didn't even dare to make moves below.

He was suspended for a red card in the league. If he also got a red card in the Champions League, he might become the culprit of losing...

Although I haven't lost yet, I can't ignore the possibility...

As a result, Giroud completed an excellent header over his head, Weidenfeller failed to save and the football flew into the goal.

Arsenal tied the score!

When Arsenal scored, Yan Min could feel everyone's emotions on the bench being down, and everyone held their heads and said nothing.

※※※

"Ah!" Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV sighed regretfully. As the first half was about to end, Arsenal equalized...

"Hummels dare not do any moves..." On TV, commentator Marcel Leif was criticizing Hummels' defense just now. "Sometimes he seems too reckless, such as when he was just taking cards. Sometimes he seems too careful, such as losing the ball now!"

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and said nothing. As a Dortmund player, he certainly did not want to see his team lose continuously.

Although this can prove his importance to the team... Zhou Yi feels that his importance does not need to be proved through such a thing!

He still hopes that the team can win Arsenal away.

During the halftime break, Yan Min did not enter the locker room. He and other substitutes were taken outside by assistant coach Buvac, and he did not know what adjustments Klopp had made in the locker room.

After the second half began, Dortmund did not substitute.

Arsenal was the first to substitution.

Wilshire was injured in the fifty-seventh minute, and one minute later he was replaced by Casolla.

"...This should be good news for Dortmund. Wilhel performed well this season, starting seven times in the league and scoring two goals. His injury will definitely have a bad impact on Arsenal's midfield strength..." Marcel Lef said hopefully.

However, Arsenal, who was forced to make an early substitution due to Wilshire's injury, scored another goal later!

In the 64th minute, Dortmund gave Arsenal a chance to have a free kick in the frontcourt in defense because Mark fouled on Ozil.

Ozil came to take the free kick himself.

"Ozil..." Marcel Leif briefly introduced the football in the German midfield. "He joined Arsenal at the last moment before the transfer window closed this summer. He was considered by Arsenal fans as the key figure in Arsenal's embarrassing record for eight years without a championship..."

After he finished speaking, Ozil also set up the football, and then he stepped back and prepared to run.

This is a free kick on the left, about 33 meters away from the goal.

From the perspective of position, this ball should be passed to teammates better.

Arsenal players also gathered on the penalty area line and were preparing to rush in to grab the spot.

There are three people in Dortmund's wall blocking in front of Ozil. There are not many people in this wall. Everyone's defense focuses on the penalty area to defend those Arsenal players who are preparing to grab the points.

Ozil, who took the free kick, had a left-footed player, and the free kick was on the left side, so Ozil should pass the football to the front of the goal with his left foot.

However, after the referee whistled, Ozil did not kick the football into the crowded crowd. After his left foot kicked the football, the football went around from the outside of the wall and rushed straight to the near corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper Weidenfell, who was standing at the far end, was caught off guard. When he saw the football around from outside the wall, he hurriedly rushed out.

As a result, the football flew into the goal before he could pounce, and then he almost hit the post!

The ball has entered!
Chapter completed!
