Chapter 157 Another Solution
Son Heung-min, who had no goal, seemed very regretful and upset. He originally held his head with both hands, then squatted down and slapped on the turf. He was very dissatisfied with his missed this great opportunity.
There is a reason why he is so dissatisfied with his performance.
Son Heung-min also felt that his condition is really good today. Although he scored five goals in the first three games, his condition is already very good. But Son Heung-min felt that his condition today can be described as "explosive".
He is confident of winning this battle with Zhou Yi - many people think that the so-called "Zhou Yi and Son Heung-min" is just a hype by the boring Korean media, but in fact there is no such thing at all.
But that's not the case. Son Heung-min actually attaches great importance to this game. He also wants to defeat Zhou Yi in the game. Of course, his idea does not come from boring patriotism, inferiority complexity, etc., but the natural strong competitive spirit of a young and talented football player - since everyone recognizes that Zhou Yi is the peak of Asian players now, then of course he has to challenge such a peak. Otherwise, if he doesn't challenge Zhou Yi, would he challenge A Cat and A Dog?
This is what Son Heung-min thought to defeat Zhou Yi in the game, so he turned a blind eye to the media hype.
In this game, he did not want to give Zhou Yi any chance to turn the tables, which means he had to seize every opportunity, so he was so upset and dissatisfied with missing this opportunity.

Zhou Yi knew that he had become the key target of Leverkusen's defense in the game, and Leverkusen would not be stingy with using foul tactics on himself. Of course, these foul tactics are not the kind of foul that is very bad and directly tackled. Zhou Yi has not encountered it yet. Many of them are pulling the jerseys or holding him with both hands to delay Dortmund's offensive. Most of these fouls will not be stingy, but they can really affect their own organization of attacks.
When other players encounter such a thing, they may find ways to get rid of this situation.
But Zhou Yi doesn't think so. Instead of trying his best to deal with his opponents, it's better to change his thinking.
So he took advantage of the opportunity to die, and found his compatriot Yan Min.
"Hey, Yan Min, it turns out that you are really a 'super substitute'..."
Yan Min grinned: "It's time now, do you still have the intention to joke?"
Zhou Yi smiled: "I'm serious, you really have no performance yet. I think there is still some truth to external analysis - you think more when you start."
Yan Min didn't say anything, staring at Zhou Yi, not knowing what Zhou Yi sold in the gourd.
"I want me to say, don't think so much. The ball is at your feet. What do you think is best to do. For example, if you can break through, why pass the ball? Or are you not confident enough in your feet's skills?" Zhou Yi covered his mouth with his hands and said to Yan Min, because he smiled and his eyes were bent.
Yan Min's eyes lit up, and he knew what Zhou Yi was going to say.
"I was entangled by them. It was a little trouble for me to get rid of their entanglement in a short period of time. At this time, if you have the chance, don't pass the football to me and dribble the ball yourself. Their defense focus is on Aubameyang and me, and they are not very strict with your defense. This is your opportunity." Zhou Yi continued to cover his mouth and said. "Seeking cooperation when it is time to seek cooperation, but don't be afraid when it is time to be a lone hero."
After saying that, he patted Yan Min, turned around and ran away.
Yan Min stared at Zhou Yi's back and recalled what he said just now, especially the last sentence.
A lonely hero.
Not to mention, he often seems to be in a state of fighting alone, whether it is playing football or something else... so he is really familiar with this matter, and he is very familiar with it.

The first half has already started for thirty minutes, and everyone is still discussing Son Heung-min's single shot that failed just now, believing that Leverkusen has an advantage, and Dortmund, who plays at home, may still be considering the Champions League match next week, which leads to their poor form today.
Some people have begun to analyze what it would mean if Dortmund lost to Leverkusen.
"... Actually, I think it's not a bad thing for Dortmund to lose to Leverkusen - this matter should be seen this way. With Dortmund's current personnel reserves and state, it is undoubtedly difficult to fight on multiple fronts. Bayern Munich's performance this season is very stable. Now this Dortmund wants to repeat the championship process of last season, which is unlikely. After all, the Dortmund team did not have so many wounded soldiers last season..."
"If you lose to Leverkusen, you should help Klopp make up his mind to give up one and focus on the other. The league championship, Dortmund has won three consecutive championships in the past three seasons. If they are more pragmatic this season, they should be able to participate in the Champions League next season. It would be better to devote more energy to the Champions League this season. You should know that they may be eliminated in the group stage now..."
"Although it's not that you can definitely go further in the Champions League by giving up the league championship. But at least you won't get both the Champions League and the League in the end, right? Faced with the cruel reality, and still maintaining fantasies is not something worth encouraging. Dreams have, but fantasies are best to be eliminated sooner..."
No one realizes that inside Dortmund, change may be happening.
Zhou Yi was surrounded and tried hard to pass the football. Of course, it was impossible to deliver the football to a fatal place with one kick. If he wanted to advance layer by layer, he would continue to participate in the transmission to organize the offense.
He just passed the football to Yan Min, who was very close to him. This was a very ordinary cross-border pass. He didn't pass Shi En in advance, nor did he pass it to the space.
Such a pass may happen hundreds of times in a game, and not every time it has any special significance.
The same seems to be true for this pass.
After Zhou Yi passed the ball, he continued to run forward, turning his head to look at Yan Min.
He seemed to hope that after he could get into the air, he would let Yan Min pass the football back.
Of course, his obvious intention was seen through by Leverkusen's players, so he immediately followed Leverkusen's captain, the midfielder Rollfers.
For such a huge threat, Rollfies, the vice captain of Leverkusen, has no choice but to defend.
In addition to Rollfies, Lars Bend was also eyeing Zhou Yi, ready to come up to help Rollfies solve the problem. Just as the two of them solved the internal problems of the team in the locker room, the cooperation between the chief and deputy captain has always been very good.
But in this way, Yan Min, who took the ball, found that he only faced the defense of one Leverkusen player - Gonzalo Castro. It was the midfielder who received Friedrich's "pass" and assisted Son Heung-min in the 18 minutes of the game.
Facing Castro's defense, Yan Min chewed it again in his heart, then accelerated to dribble and rushed to the side.
When Castro saw Yan Min dribbling the ball, he naturally leaned on it. But before he met Yan Min, he saw Yan Min catch up with the football. While catching up with the football, Yan Min did not try to control the ball, but directly rushed the football out with one kick!
This trip drifted the football from within the range Castro could control, while Yan Min accelerated while dribbling!
It was like a sports car that stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. He roared out, making Castro even unable to touch it...
Yan Min, who caught up with the football, did not speed up the ball. Facing Emre Jan in front of him, he braked suddenly. While braked suddenly, he also gently pushed the football inside with his left instep. At the same time, he jumped up and moved horizontally, avoiding Emre Jan's stretched legs!
"Yan Min! Good ball! Beautiful get rid of it!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly.
Yan Min, who jumped up and avoided Emre Zhan, landed on the ground and kicked out again, and caught up with the football with one step.
At this time, after two people in a row, he finally successfully attracted Leverkusen's attention.
Lars Bend, who was originally vigilant about Zhou Yi, saw this and didn't bother to look at Zhou Yi, so he quickly turned around and pounced on him.
Other Leverkusen players also began to move closer to Yan Min, intending to block him and strangle him to death outside the 30-meter area.
The situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable for Yan Min. But at this time, Yan Min felt excited from the bottom of his heart - wasn't he just coming to Europe for such a scene and challenge?
Don't be timid, just do it!
Yan Min tapped the football to the right with his left foot, and then changed direction and gently pushed the football to the outside with his right foot.
The tap made him avoid Lars Bend's foot, and the push made him dodge Spasic's steal.
Then I saw him suddenly swing the football forward, and this time he swinged the football directly into the penalty area!
After the football went out, he followed the football out, killing out of the encirclement like a bullet!
Before, seeing Yan Min blocked his way by several players from Leverkusen, everyone thought that his most correct way at this time should be to pass the ball, but who would have thought that Yan Min would pick it up like this?
The only problem may be that his sprint is a bit big, and the chances of football being given by Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno are greater, or it is far greater than the possibility of being caught up by himself. Leno did indeed decisively abandon the goal and attack the football after he dribbled out.
Other Leverkusen players looked back and saw that Yan Min had traveled so far away, and they gave up the idea of chasing back. They thought Yan Min would definitely not be able to catch up with the ball, and Leno would get the ball one step ahead of him.
But Yan Min did not give up chasing the ball because of his big hit. He accelerated to blow towards the football, as firm as a golden eagle who was diving and catching a rabbit.
Everyone thought Yan Min could not catch up with football, but was just struggling to death. But after Yan Min took two steps, the distance between him and football was greatly shortened! Yan Min seemed to have a technique of shrinking the ground!
Leno also realized the danger. He gave up his balance and slid out on his side, reaching out to the football... With his huge defensive area, he could almost say that he built a dam before the football. Unless Yan Min lifted the football up, he would most likely let the football hit Leno - no matter which part.
Yan Min still had no intention of giving up, or he had no turning back when he opened his bow. It was absolutely impossible to give up now. In front of everyone, he stretched out his foot to poke the football. As long as he could poke the football away from Leno, there was still a chance.
He really got the ball first!
Really, I poked football before Leno!
He stabbed the football at the goal, but soon the football hit Leno's palm and was blocked by Leno!
And what about Yan Min himself? He couldn't stop the car, or he didn't think about brakes at all, followed and ran into Leno's arm. Under the influence of inertia, he turned around and fell to the ground...
When he saw Yan Min fall in the penalty area, the Dortmund fans in the stands cheered together - this is a penalty!!
However, the referee's whistle did not sound. If someone thought his whistle was drowned, he could look at his gesture - he pointed to the corner flag area.
The lineman also ran to the corner flag, waved the flag in his hand, and pointed it cleanly at the corner flag area - corner kick!
