Chapter 95: Monday's Foot
The game lasted for another four minutes, and the pace of offense and defense conversion between both sides was still very fast.
Schalke just now attacked Dortmund's penalty area front 04, and now it's Dortmund's turn to attack.
Subotic led the football forward in the backcourt. When he was about to lead it to the center line, he encountered an interception from the opponent's player, so he passed the football to the side and passed it to the forward full-back Groskreuz.
However, the pass was not very good. It was not directly at Groskreutz's feet, but was a little forward. Groskreutz had to rush forward to reach the football. If you want to stop the football well, that was almost impossible.
Groskreuz knew that he could not control the football, so he chose to pass the football directly.
Before defending the player, he fell to the ground and poked the ball, poked the ball to Royce on the side.
Reus ran up from the highway behind. Originally, Zhou Yi was the one who was following Groskreuz in the middle, and Zhou Yi accelerated to the ribs.
But Reus ran up.
Before Reus received the ball, Zhou Yi noticed his position, so he took a step back and moved to the middle.
After receiving the pass from Groskreuz, Reus did not stop the ball or continue to dribble the ball. Instead, he swept the ball into the middle with his right foot and passed it across!
He passed the football to Zhou Yi!
Neusttet originally followed Zhou Yi toward the ribs, but Zhou Yi suddenly changed his running route halfway through. Neusttet also wanted to stop and change direction quickly, but his height of 1.90 meters and 1.78 meters and 1.78 meters, the inertia was a bit high. This sudden stop and change direction were not flexible enough. In addition, he was a passive change direction, and Zhou Yi was actively changed direction and prepared more fully.
With just such a time difference, Zhou Yi got rid of Neustte's relentless pursuit behind him!
"Zhouyi!"
Zhou Yi, who got rid of Neusttet, caught up with football horizontally. At this time, he and football were almost at the top of the free throw arc.
Schalke 04's central defender Hovedes could no longer stay in the penalty area and ignored Zhou Yi's ball. He rushed straight towards Zhou Yi.
Seeing this, Yang Muge secretly complained that something was wrong!
The central defender was pulled out, but both fullbacks were still behind... This is the most feared in the defense, which means there will be a huge gap in the middle!
So, who was originally responsible for the sweeping, he hurriedly accelerated to the penalty area. He stopped guarding Zhou Yi, but rushed to make up for the gap behind Hovedes. He had already seen Aubameyang penetrate into the gap!
As long as Zhou Yi stuffs the football over, it will be a one-on-one shot!
At the same time, the attention of another defender Fuks, who was supposed to follow Reus, was also attracted by Zhou Yi, who had the ball. Although he was still running back, his speed was not fast. Moreover, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, and he didn't see any movements behind him.
All this happened in a very short second. Zhou Yi caught up with the football, and then he quickly passed the football with his left foot!
Before Hovedes tackled himself, he passed the ball diagonally through the gap between Fux and Hovedes!
He did not pass it directly to Aubameyang because he saw that Yang Muge had already chased him back. Instead, Reus was even more empty and had no one to guard him!
Sure enough, Reus accelerated suddenly at the moment when Zhou Yi passed the ball, threw Fux away and received the football!
Yang Muge originally wanted to save Aubameyang, but now he saw that Reus got the ball in the penalty area and faced goalkeeper Hildebran directly. That was even more dangerous!
So he continued the momentum of sprinting and accelerated towards Reus, intending to block Reus's shot.
In this way, Aubameyang was completely empty...
Reus was not greedy for merit. Although he could shoot by himself, he still rushed to the middle before Yang Muge shoveled.
Aubameyang changed his running route when Reus got the ball and pulled horizontally towards the back of the goal.
This also creates space for Reus' pass.
Goalkeeper Hildebran attacked and planned to intercept Reus' cross, but he was a little slower. The football passed by him first, and Aubameyang scored a tackle behind him!
The football rolled into the net.
"Aubameyang -!! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh he is such a lucky guy! He scored the goal in the first time he participated in the Roul derby!! Assisted by Reus! But the most exquisite pass from this offense came from Zhou Yi! He contributed a familiar straight pass in the first game of his return from injury!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
"Aubameyang! This goal is here! Beautiful! Dortmund used the team in the frontcourt to tear open Schalke 04's defense line, and they took the lead in the first fourteen minutes of the game!" Duan Xin also shouted. "Zhou Yi instigated this goal! He first used the running position to throw away Neusttet who followed him, and then gave a exquisite pass, creating an opportunity for Reus! Although it was not a direct assist, this kick could already let us see the Zhou Yi before the injury! This is really great!"
He was not ecstatic about Dortmund's lead. What made him so excited was Zhou Yi's performance. He was injured for more than a month and sent such a straight pass when he returned to the court. Is there anything better than this that he has recovered completely?
After scoring the goal, Aubameyang ran to the corner flag area to find Reus. The two of them hugged and celebrated when the Dortmund fans just threw signal flares down. At the same time, they turned around and waved to Zhou Yi, signaling him to come up.
Both of them knew how the attack was made just now.
Zhou Yi's passing is the ability to penetrate the opponent's direction!
Zhou Yi and Mark and the others ran towards Reus and Aubameyang, and in the bottom of the stands where Dortmund fans gathered, they celebrated together.
And behind them is the lost Schalke 04 player.
Hovedes was still sitting on the ground - he had already put the shovel in, but he still couldn't stop Zhou Yi from passing the ball.
Yang Muge returned from the back to defend from the front of the door, which was useless.
Neustte stood outside the penalty area and stared at all this - he actually let Zhou Yi slip away from under his nose!

"Good ball! Good ball!" Zhou Jianliang slapped his thighs hard in front of the TV and shouted excitedly. There is only one house on one floor in this high-end apartment, and the sound insulation upstairs and downstairs are also very good, so he can yell in front of the TV without worrying about disturbing the neighbors nearby. Besides, it is afternoon now, and no one will sleep...
"It's not my son's assist, why are you so happy to do?" Li Cuiyun gave him a blank look.
"You don't understand! Even if it's not my son's assist, if they didn't have this kick, they wouldn't be able to score at all!" Zhou Jianliang said proudly. "Think about Dortmund before, how could there be such a simple and clear offensive routine? After my son came on the court, the situation was different! One kick! Just one kick can instigate a goal! This is the core function!"
"Yes, yes, you know, you know..." Li Cuiyun knew that when she talked about football, her husband was a lunatic, so it would be better not to compete with him at this time. Moreover, she herself was happy about Zhou Yi's performance after her comeback.

"This is why Dortmund cannot do without Zhou Yi. Why did Dortmund's performance fluctuate in the more than a month when Zhou Yi was injured, which made people feel insecure..." Duan Xin was still chattering and emphasizing the importance of Zhou Yi, but Chinese fans in front of the TV loved to listen to him, and no one thought he was long-winded. "After having Zhou Yi, Dortmund was equivalent to having a brain and knowing how to play. Every player returned to their familiar rhythm, and this was not possible before. Look at this ball..."
The slow motion of the goal just now is playing on the TV. After changing the panoramic angle, each player's running position can be seen more clearly.
"Reus went forward from the center circle at high speed. After receiving the pass from Groskreuz, he passed the football across to Zhou Yi and continued to go forward. Why can he be so determined? Because he knew that he had time in front of him, Zhou Yi would definitely be able to see this time and pass the football to him, so he ran away and ran forward without hesitation. Sure enough, Zhou Yi's pass came!"
When talking about this, Duan Xin's tone was unpredictable, which was exactly the same as Zhou Jianliang's tone when he talked about his son. As a Chinese commentator, of course, he would be proud and proud of the wonderful performances of Chinese players.

"Before the game, everyone was speculating whether Zhou Yi would play in this game. Even if he appeared on the starting list, some people were worried that Zhou Yi's appearance was only symbolic than actual effect... Now it seems that Zhou Yi used that pass to announce the answer for us - his physical condition may not have recovered to the best, but his brain is 100% ready!" Marcel Leif also praised Zhou Yi's performance.
Although this ball was Aubameyang passed by Reus, the most rare part of the work was completed by Zhou Yi.
When he gets the ball in the middle of the penalty area, he has many choices. How to make the best choice is a test of a player's ability. He can shoot by himself, so Hovedes will rush forward to block Zhou Yi. He can also pass the ball, so there are many ways to pass the ball. He can pass it to Reus, but also to Aubameyang, and even to Mark on the other side, but not every pass choice can bring goals.
Judging from the results, Zhou Yi undoubtedly made the most correct choice.
"Looking at Klopp's smiling face, I was so happy. Of course, because Zhou Yi is back!" Marcel Leif smiled.
