Vol 3 Chapter 246: Moving scarecrow

After the start of the second half of the game, Arsenal, who had to win at home, must continue to attack Dortmund's goal.
After ten minutes of play, a keen person noticed a change in Dortmund.
Kagawa Shinji retraced more, but Zhou Yi did not go forward most of the time, but stayed in the backcourt...defense!
"Let Zhou Yi participate in the defense?" Marcel Leif was surprised. "But we all know that Zhou Yi's defensive ability is not outstanding..."
"It seems that Sven Bender's injury has really had a great impact on Dortmund. Even the core of their organization has to be forced to turn into defense..." The British commentator was gloating. Sven Bender's injury was an accident entirely. Unexpectedly, this accident caused such a result in favor of Arsenal. Sven Bender's injury not only caused Dortmund to lose a ball, but also completely restrained the core of Dortmund's offensive organization, so that they could not threaten Arsenal's goal.
He Ping was also surprised that Zhou Yi would participate in the defense: "...In fact, instead of changing to Kyle, it is better to change to Jing Duoan. Jing Duoan is a balanced player who can attack and defend. Zhou Yi At that time, he was devoted to defending... like now, let Zhou Yilai defend is really overkill, and also made Dortmund's offense threatened..."
Almost no one questioned Klopp's decision.
The live game broadcast also gave close-up shots to Klopp's face sitting on the sidelines.
Klopp stared blankly at the stadium.
No one knows what he is thinking.
※※※
Klopp didn't think of anything. He was observing the game, observing it very seriously and intently.
Through observation, he found that although Zhou Yi's brain wanted to understand, his body was still not very adapted to this role change.
In the first ten minutes at least, Zhou Yi did not perform very well on defense. He is running non-stop, and he seems to work very hard, and he actively wants to participate in the defense, but he just runs, and does not make any contribution to the defense.
This is also the reason why the commentators believe that Klopp's adjustment is the most important cause of nonsense-Zhou Yi is not suitable for defense, and his actions on the defense are not meaningful.
But Klopp believed in Zhou Yi and his vision-the latter has been proven many times.
He remembered the scene when Zhou Yi's eyes lit up during the halftime break, as if a flame in his heart had been ignited.
He believes that this young man will find the right path, which may not take long...
※※※
After ten minutes of the second half of the game, because Zhou Yi did not play a defensive role, Dortmund was still pressed by Arsenal.
Zhou Yi has become a key breakthrough for Arsenal. They think that according to Zhou Yi's performance, he is simply the weakest point on the Dortmund defense line.
Everyone hit the ball with him.
In the fourteenth minute of the second half and the fifty-ninth minute of the game, Zhou Yi was helpless in the face of Walcott’s unreasonable speed breakthrough. Although he ran up to intercept, he was easily thrown away by the opponent, and Zhou Yi could only watch. Looking at it, even if he didn't want to foul, he didn't have a chance. The speed difference between him and the opponent is too big. Walcott is famous for speed, and speed has never been Zhou Yi's advantage.
However, after Walcott broke through, Kyle caught up and ruined the football-just when he broke through Zhou Yi, Walcott was a bit big, and the football was slightly away from his control. It was destroyed by Kyle.
Zhou Yi turned around and saw Kyle help himself out, he quickly thanked the captain: "Thank you captain!"
Kyle waved to him: "You're welcome, Zhou Yi. Don't think too much, if you can't, just give me the defense, I have gradually found the feeling. You still concentrate on organizing the offense..."
Zhou Yi knew that Kyle was of course kind, but when he figured out his advantage in defense in the locker room, his defense was not just to complete the tasks assigned by the head coach.
Because he felt that a new world seemed to open the door in front of his eyes...
This is a new world worth entering.
At the thought of this, Zhou Yi felt agitated, rubbing his hands, and could not wait to get in.
So although some people might laugh at his embarrassment and incompetence in front of Walcott, this will not affect Zhou Yi's beliefs.
Someone is indeed laughing at Zhou Yi's performance against Walcott.
For example, the British commentator smiled after Zhou Yi was broken by Walcott: "In front of Walcott's speed, Zhou Yi behaved like a scarecrow! He just stuck in the field, motionless, hoping to be able to Drive away the birds. But this is destined to be delusional!"
He likens Zhou Yi to a clumsy scarecrow.
Even Marcel Leif covered his face with Zhou Yi when he was breached, and groaned, "It's terrible..."
※※※
Although many people think that his participation in defense is just a mess, but Zhou Yi is still doing his own thing.
He is constantly looking for opportunities, although he can judge the opponent's passing route closely, but it does not mean that he can successfully intercept the ball-at least he cannot directly wait on the passing route of others , The opponent is not a fool, seeing someone stuck in the pass line, he will definitely change the pass and change a goal, then his own card position will be meaningless.
So he can't go directly to the pass line of others to wait and wait for others to hit him.
He wants to stay in a very delicate position, so as not to cause the opponent to be vigilant, but can quickly rush to the pass to intercept the ball.
At the same time, if the opponent passes the ball too fast, he may be too late even if he rushes to the pass.
This requires skill and luck. Not every time you can succeed.
Prior to this, Zhou Yi had been trying to get closer to the target pass without getting the attention of the opponent, and was also waiting for an opportunity.
※※※
In the sixty-first minute of the game, two weeks after Zhou Yi was "humiliated" by Walcott's speed, Walcott made a comeback again.
This time, Kyle took the lead in welcoming him-he must not want Zhou Yi to be the object of being teased by Walcott again.
At the same time, Goetze also withdrew to assist the defense.
Kyle's initiative to challenge Walcott's speed, he had to slow down.
After slowing down, Goetze pushed back from behind.
Seeing that Walcott was about to fall into the encirclement of the front and back attack, Walcott had to consider passing the football, which made him a little annoyed. He was originally looking for Zhou Yi, so he reapplied, broke through from him, and then disturbed Dortmund line of defense.
As a result, Kyle responded faster than he thought.
Facing the double attack, Walcott vaguely saw a figure wearing a red and white jersey in front of him. According to his experience, he judged that it should be his teammate Van Persie, although he did not see A clear number and face, but Walcott also decided to pass the football, and then he used the speed to cut the position and throw away the chasing.
Walcott guessed right. That person was Van Persie. He was originally on the side. After seeing Walcott blocked the ball on the side, he moved to the middle and formed a line with Walcott. Slash, so that Walcott can see him, and also has a pass angle.
Walcott did pass the ball, passing the football to him.
But football did not end up at Van Persie's feet, but was stopped by a foot in the middle.
Zhou Yi's left foot extended forward, blocking the rolling football. The power of the football hitting the inside of his foot did not dissipate, but caused the football to bounce upward. When it fell again, he used his right foot Turn the outer foot to the right and take the ball away!
From interception to start-up, all at once, suddenly made many people unresponsive.
Unexpectedly, the person who appeared in that position turned out to be Zhou Yi!
After stopping the ball, Zhou Yi did not continue to take it. His dribbling speed is definitely not as good as that of Walcott. At this time, if he continues to take the ball, it will give Arsenal time to react.
So after Zhou Yi took the football out, he caught the ball and made a long pass~EbookFREE.me~ transferred the football to the front court, and the football fell to Kagawa Shinji's feet!
"Dortmund's counterattack!" Marcel Leif came in spirit, and after the second half, Dortmund finally had an attack that could threaten the Arsenal goal!
After Kagawa stopped the ball, he handed the football to Goetze who inserted it on the sideline.
Goetze passed the football to the middle again, and the man who followed up was Lewandowski!
He directly won the volley!
"Robert Lewandowski -!!!"
In the roar of Marcel Lefra's long voice, the football was sturdy by the Polish archer's forefoot.
The football broke through the ten fingers of Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny and hit the net behind him! (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please read. )
