Vol 4 Chapter 89: Good popularity

The previous match between Manchester City and Dortmund reminded many old fans of the 2004 European Championship in Portugal and the match between Sweden and Denmark.
Before the final round of the group stage, Sweden had four points, five goal difference, Denmark four points, two goal difference, Italy two points, zero goal difference, and Bulgaria had zero points.
According to the rules, Denmark and Sweden can be promoted hand in hand as long as they get a tie of 2:2, 3:3, but 1:1 is not good.
As a result, the game was really played 2:2, so no matter what the result of Italy, they will be eliminated. After 2:2, the players of Sweden and Denmark played very conservatively. In the final stage of the game, no one was willing to attack the half and fell in their own backcourt. Don't come up to force the gun.
Just worry about something unexpected.
This scene is a bit similar to the start of the second half between Manchester City and Dortmund.
But now it's okay, if the game continues to play that way, boos must be indispensable.
And now, Manchester City has made active adjustments and changes, and their offense has become more threatening.
The Manchester City fans in the stands also think the team is back on track and they can expect the team to win the game at home.
But reality is called "cruel" because it does not develop according to people's subjective wishes.
In the sixty-ninth minute of the attack on Manchester City, Dortmund got an offensive opportunity.
Zheke's shot was confiscated by Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and then Weidenfeller did not kick the football out of the big foot, but threw it directly to Sven Bender outside the penalty area.
Sven Bender gently tapped the football with his head to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi directly passed the football across to the side.
On the side was the inserted full-back Schmelzer. Although Schmelzer received the ball on the side, he did not continue to take the ball forward. In the face of the Manchester City player's block, he passed the football diagonally. To the middle road.
It was the center center Lewandowski who caught the ball.
Lewandowski turned away from the offensive direction when receiving the ball, but he didn't need to worry about how to turn around. He just needed to pass the football directly back.
Football has fallen to Zhou Yi's feet.
Zhou Yi did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the ball from Lewandowski. The football flew to the left, where Goetze had already inserted at a high speed.
And there is also a free time in Manchester City's defense line!
Manchester City, in a series of indiscriminate bombings around Dortmund's goal, forgot that his back line was incomplete, and now the space was caught by Zhou Yi.
A series of quick passes from Dortmund not only made the fans in front of the TV and the stands feel overwhelmed, but also made the Manchester City players on the court somewhat unresponsive. Dortmund's attack was first in the middle, but was quickly transferred to the left.
After Manchester City's defensive focus shifted to this side, football was passed back to the middle.
So the Manchester City players have turned their attention to the middle. How could Zhou Yi pass the football back to the left side? In order to prevent Schmelzer from taking the ball forward, Manchester City’s defense line here is relatively more The front, anyway, compared to their left defender, Manchester City’s right defender Sabaletta has already crossed the center line, he originally wanted to block Schmelzer, but Schmelzer did not bring the ball to kill. Instead, he passed the football to the middle. His attention also turned to the middle. He ignored the fact that he was actually free behind him.
But Zhou Yi didn't ignore it. A very fast and accurate transfer of the ball passed the football behind Sabaletta.
When Goetze took the ball, because the other Manchester City defenders were still behind, even though he was behind Sabaletta, he was not offside!
"Good shot! Getze!"
In Marcel Leif's exclamation, Goetze drove the ball to Manchester City's penalty area.
And the Dortmund players who have invested in the offense are still not too many. Lewandowski and Royce rushed up first, and Zhou Yi is also running forward, but the speed is not fast, and he does not intend to take the lead.
His action naturally did not attract the attention of Manchester City players, so the Manchester City players who were constantly defending accelerated to run past him, but no one turned his head to look at him. Their eyes were firmly locked in the grid with the breakthrough of the ball. Strategize...
As a result, the distance between Zhou Yi, who runs slowly, and Manchester City players, who run fast, is getting bigger and bigger, and he is almost unmarked.
When Goetze rushed to the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester City and found that there was nothing too good to pass the goal forward, he naturally chose to knock back and pass the football to Zhou Yi.
Only then did people find out that Zhou Yi had no one to watch!
So those Manchester City players who had defended Lewandowski and Royce near the penalty area turned back to Zhou Yi.
Facing the first Xavi García who rushed up, Zhou Yi made a long shot fake and tricked him to jump up and turn around to try to block it with his back.
But Zhou Yi just took a buckle, buckled the football to the left, and then flashed past Harvey Garcia, dribbling to the penalty area of ​​Manchester City!
"Zhou Yi! Beautiful fake, he took the ball forward!" He Ping was very excited.
Zhou Yi, who got rid of Harvey Garcia, had a short space where he could shoot, but he did not, but continued to take the ball forward.
So he quickly hit Manchester City's back line.
It was at this time that he used a very concealed motion during the run-picking up on his toes-to pick up the football, and the football passed the Manchester City defenders and fell behind them. At this time, Lewandowski appeared behind them, and also at the landing point of the football. He gently put the football on the pad!
Although a Manchester City player raised his arm and signaled that the referee Lewandowski was offside, neither the referee nor the referee said anything.
Especially the lineman, he can clearly see that at the moment of Zhou Yi’s passing, in fact, Manchester City’s back line did not remain consistent. Clichy took a step a little later and dragged the last, and he also let Lewand Nevsky happens to be in an offside position!
"No offside! Good shot! Lewandowski--!" Marcel Leff pulled out with a growled voice.
In his roar, the Polish shooter who stopped the ball kicked his leg directly into the football, and volleyed half a volley!
The football slammed towards the goal.
Due to the short distance and the great strength, even Joe Hart couldn't stop it completely. He rose into the air, stretched out his hand, and blocked the football, but the football stubbornly flew into the goal!
That's it!
2: 0!
Dortmund has two goals ahead!
"Lewan! Beautiful volley volley! Stopping the ball to the shot is really easy!" He Ping is also very happy, because of Zhou Yizai's sake, he naturally supports Dortmund.
※※※
After the goal, Lewandowski greeted Zhou Yi to come and celebrate with himself, while running to the stands where Manchester City fans gathered, and then made a "shut up" gesture.
This is a celebration action full of provocation.
But Lewandowski actually had no guilt with Manchester City fans. When he took the ball in the game, he did not hear the boos of Manchester City fans.
Why did he still do this?
It's very simple, he's fighting for Zhou Yi!
He didn't boo when he took the ball, but Zhou Yi had boos when he took the ball, every time it was deafening boos, this is the response of Manchester City fans to Zhou Yi playing that ball before the game.
As a teammate ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lewandowski certainly has to take the lead for Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi is the one who everyone likes on the team. He is wronged, and others will naturally come out to fight for him.
So not only Lewandowski, but other Dortmund players who came to celebrate the goal, also made a gesture of shutting up.
"This celebration may tell us how good Zhou Yi's popularity is in Dortmund, ha!" He Ping laughed.
Although Manchester City once had Chinese player Sun Hai playing again and had a group of fans in China, compared with Dortmund who has active Chinese players, their popularity is still far behind. So He Ping's ridicule will not cause too many people's dissatisfaction.
Of course, Zhou Yi's popularity is good, even if he doesn't care about his personality, his good fame is that he returned with selfless assists again and again.
Who wouldn't like such a person who always sends nanny assists to teammates and meets their demands when teammates need goals most?
Some Chinese fans always think that Zhou Yilao assisted others and scored few goals, thinking he was too virgin. But it is not the dedication that is called the "Virgin." (To be continued.)
