Everyone off the court was worried about Dortmund, but Zhou Yi on the court did not have such concerns.

He does not think the current situation is very unfavorable to Dortmund.

Both sides have a chance, which is a normal pace of a normal game.

During this period, Naples' offensive was of course very strong, and it also posed a threat to Dortmund's goal. But on the other hand, when Naples attacked so fiercely, were they still playing defensive counterattacks?

There will naturally be some gaps behind them... and this can be used by Dortmund.

So not long after, Dortmund launched an attack on the left. In a small space, the three players quickly passed back and forth, found a gap, and then passed by Zhou Yi directly, Dulm made a forward pass. Unfortunately, when Mark was fighting with someone in the penalty area, he pushed and shoved his hands, and the referee called an offensive foul. Otherwise, this was also a threatening attack.

Naples took advantage of the momentum of Callehon's shot hitting the post and launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal again.

Their cross-stepping kick at the front of the penalty area was cut off by Sven Bend, who suddenly rushed from the back line. Then Sven Bend immediately passed the football forward, and Dortmund launched a counterattack.

Sven Bend passed the football forward to Mark who was retracing.

Mark did not stop the ball, and did not try to drive the ball when he was facing the attack direction. Instead, he directly pushed the ball horizontally to the side and passed it to Zhou Yi's feet.

Because it was a quick counterattack, there are a lot of room for the midfield and frontcourt, but Zhou Yi did not pass the football out immediately. Although there were too many room for it, there was no good opportunity.

He chose to drive the ball forward by himself.

Mark was running forward, and Aubameyang first stepped forward on Zhou Yi's left. As he ran, he stepped diagonally into the middle, hoping to break the gap for Zhou Yi.

However, Naples' defense did a very good job in retreating this time, and the formation was maintained very well. It was not pulled away by Aubameyang's running, and Aubameyang did not run into the air because of this.

Zhou Yi still couldn't pass the ball.

Since he could not pass the ball, Zhou Yi did not hesitate. He accelerated to the penalty area, and acted like he wanted to ride alone to pass the level.

Originally, in order to prevent Zhou Yi from passing the ball, Napoli's defense line was relatively backward, and no one dared to come up to grab Zhou Yi's ball, because in that case, he rushed forward and his teammate dragged behind him to defend Aubameyang. Wouldn't that be empty behind him? If Zhou Yi kicked the ball directly, it would be another threatening attack.

So Napoli's defenders were not very close to Zhou Yi, which allowed Zhou Yi to drive the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, this gave Zhou Yi the opportunity to shoot directly!

Zhou Yi slightly tweaked the football to the left, accelerated the ball, shook the angle away, and then swung his left foot to shoot!

This is a powerful shot!

Napoli goalkeeper Reina didn't even dare to catch it with both hands, so he chose to use his fists to hit the football out!

Even so, he failed to hit the ball, but rubbed the ball, causing the ball to fly behind him. Fortunately, the football ended up being above the crossbar and did not cause the ball to be lost...

"Reiner made a key save! Zhou Yi's direct shot! When Napoli was guarding against him to pass the ball, he unexpectedly chose to shoot directly! He almost succeeded!" The Italian commentator was still scared when he praised Reiner.

Look, so for Zhou Yi, the attack that Callehon hit the post just now did not affect him at all. It seems that Napoli's offensive is very strong and may break through Dortmund's goal at any time. Zhou Yi can turn the unfavorable situation into a powerful situation for his team.

※※※

After Dortmund's corner kick was taken, Reiner jumped up and punched the ball again. This time he hit the ball directly, and punched the ball directly out of the penalty area with both fists.

Almost all of them fell into the middle circle and were won by the player who was dragged by Dortmund.

After receiving the ball, he passed the football forward to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi moved horizontally and then ran to the next place. While running, he did not forget to turn his head left and right to observe the situation. He saw that the Naples players who were originally defending in front of the Naples goal rushed out in a swarm.

This is a fixed action after every corner kick defense - the defensive players desperately press forward, leaving behind those offensive players who didn't have time to react or had a little slow reaction. At this time, if the offensive player who got the second landing point wanted to start an attack and pass directly into the penalty area, then most of the teammates who received the ball would be offside.

Zhou Yi, who observed this situation, hooked his hand at the teammate who was receiving the ball and made a gesture to ask for the ball.

The teammate obediently passed the football over. Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but swung his left foot towards the football. When the football rolled over, his left foot kicked the football out.

The ball drew an arc in the air and flew towards the front right!

This was a completely opposite pass, which was far beyond the expectations of the Napoli defensive players. They looked at Zhou Yi facing the front left, but unexpectedly, he turned his body while passing the ball and passed the ball to the right!

There, it was a gap that Napoli players did not notice.

Mark came out of the crowd and stopped the football sent by Zhou Yi!

Naples players looked back and saw this scene, all raised their arms reflexively, signaling Mark to offside.

But neither the referee nor the lineman had any signs from the Naples players...

"No offside! Beautiful straight pass! Beautiful anti-offside forward!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.

Amid the cheers of Dortmund fans throughout the game, Mark shot!

Reina, who was abandoning the goal, fell to the ground conditioned reflex, then stretched out his legs to expand the defense range, and the football was blocked by his feet!

"Oh! What a pity!" He Ping shouted regretfully. "Renner made another wonderful save, and he stopped Mark's excellent single shot!"

Mark, who had not scored a goal, held his head in both hands and looked at Renner with incredible eyes. He couldn't believe that his shot was saved. In order to increase the chance of scoring, he also pressed the football down to the near corner of the goal, so that the football rolled against the grass to the near corner of the goal. It can be said that he had grasped it just right in terms of angle and strength.

But unfortunately, Reina's reaction speed was faster than him, or Naples' luck was better...

After Mark did not score a goal in this offense, the first half was coming to an end. In the 45th minute, Napoli player Almero broke through from the left and shot a long shot. The football was beaten out by Weidenfeller.

This was also the last shot of both sides in the first half.

Referee Carvalho quickly blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

"The first half ended! Dortmund temporarily led Napoli with a score of 1:0. However, looking at this score alone is not satisfactory, because Dortmund's goal is to win four goals against Napoli in this game. In the whole first half, they got many excellent opportunities, most of which were created by Zhou Yi, but Dortmund only seized it once. If Dortmund could lead Napoli 2:0 in the first half, it would be much easier for them in the second half..." He Ping said.

"Naples played very poorly in the first half and only conceded one goal. When Dortmund was unable to score a goal in the second half, they would definitely push the attack at all costs. Then it would be Napoli's opportunity. As long as they could counterattack and score a goal, they could completely destroy Dortmund..." The Italian commentator looked forward to the second half. In his outlook, Napoli was already invincible.

In the locker room, Klopp did not criticize the team for scoring only one goal in the first half. Instead, he encouraged them.

"We have the advantage in the scene. As long as our mentality remains calm, we will have many opportunities in the second half. Remember, don't be anxious, be patient! We are fully capable of scoring three goals in forty-five minutes!"

Although there are only forty-five minutes left for Dortmund, Klopp still has to say that. Once the players get panicked, no amount of time is enough.

In the visiting team's locker room, Benitez also emphasized patience to his players: "This game is a game of patience. Whoever is more calm will be able to laugh to the end!"

In the midfield commentary of various TV stations, the hosts and guests did not have much opinion on Dortmund's analysis of the game format.

Klopp said Dortmund has the ability to score three goals in forty-five minutes. Many people will not agree with this view.

In any game, it is difficult to score three goals in ninety minutes. Not to mention reducing the unit time by half, the difficulty will not be as simple as double.

Moreover, if Dortmund wants to score three goals in the second half, he must do his best in the offense and even sacrifice his defense completely. In this way, Napoli will naturally have many opportunities to counterattack.

As long as Napoli scores a goal, Dortmund will basically collapse.

It is hard for the guests to imagine how Klopp should adjust to score three goals in the second half, and to ensure that his defense does not concede the ball...

And in the home team's locker room, Klopp is making substitution adjustments.
