Vol 4 Chapter 86: He saw it!

When Dortmund got the offensive opportunity, football once again reached Zhou Yi's feet.
This time Zhou Yi did not wait in place, but ushered in football and was ready to catch the ball.
Harvey Garcia, who defended him, also ran up, wanting to stick to Zhou Yi and not let him turn around.
But Zhou Yi didn't even think about turning around. When he ran in front of the football, his feet diverged and he directly leaked the football!
The football just drilled between his legs, rolled past the unpredictable Harvey Garcia, and then fell to the foot of Lewandowski who retreated.
Zhou Yi then turned around and ran ahead to meet Lewandowski.
When Lewandowski saw Zhou Yi coming up, he passed the football to him, and Xavi Garcia followed Zhou Yi.
While catching the ball, Zhou Yi suddenly stopped abruptly, intending to turn away from Harvey Garcia.
This emergency stop turn was indeed beyond Harvey Garcia's expectations, but Garcia's reaction was also quick. When he was about to be thrown away by Zhou Yi, he decisively stretched his foot and stopped behind Zhou Yi. If he does, he will definitely kick the football behind him, so that his feet just get stuck on Zhou Yi's turn.
However, Zhou Yi did not turn the football around, but left the football in place and turned around. His turn just happened to hit Harvey Garcia's leg. Naturally, his body leaned back sharply and was tipped to the ground.
The picture looked very visually impactful, as if Zhou Yi had been hit by a forklift coming from behind.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
In front of Dortmund's coach seat, Klopp roared angrily: "This is a foul!"
At the same time, German commentator Marcel Leff also shouted: "This is Harvey Garcia's kick from behind, a very bad foul! He should pay for it!"
He Ping said: "The referee should show a yellow card. If you continue to let it go, I'm afraid the game will get out of control!"
After landing, Zhou Yi did not immediately get up from the ground, but lay on the ground, covering his ankles with his hands, his expression painful.
Harvey Garcia raised his hands to signal that he was innocent, but this time he could not escape.
After all, the visual impact of Zhou Yi's fall just now was too great, and his foot was just cutting the tree.
Sure enough, after the referee Kralovitz whistled, he ran to Harvey Garcia and showed him a yellow card.
In the thirty-fifth minute, Xavi Garcia also received a yellow card.
There are now two players in Manchester City who have received yellow cards, but this situation has not attracted people's attention when Manchester City has an advantage.
Zhou Yi was surrounded by his teammates and cared about his body.
"I'm fine." Zhou Yi had already sat up from the ground. After falling, he fell directly on the ground and looked upset and miserable. At that time, he didn't get up from the ground for the first time, but covered his ankle with his hand, which made people worry about his ankle injury.
"Really okay?" Goetze was not at ease.
"It's okay, I hid at the critical moment, otherwise why would I fall a bit exaggerated?" Zhou Yi said.
He did hide. When he had an emergency stop before, it was expected that Harvey Garcia might be waiting for him behind him, so at the moment of contact, Zhou Yi took the initiative to lean back and kick his leg forward. This made him fall and looked a bit exaggerated, but it protected his ankle well. If Xavi García hits this foot well, Zhou Yi may be lying on the ground for a while. Even so, the ankle still hurts.
"Zhou Yi, do you still reduce the number of balls?" Royce worried for Zhou Yi. "Kick it like this, the opponent's foul will all come towards you..."
Zhou Yi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as we can get the ball close to their penalty area, they will not dare to foul."
A foul in a sensitive zone will give Dortmund a free kick, and free kicks in these positions are likely to directly threaten Manchester City's goal.
"But we must first advance to their 30-meter area." Goetze said. "But now their marking on you makes it difficult for you to control the ball?"
Zhou Yi was pulled up by Lewandowski, and then said to his teammates around him: "So I need your help, try not to be too far away from me, let us spread the football."
"It's no problem." Gotze nodded. He knows what Zhou Yi wants to do.
The other teammates nodded.
After Footbonaut's special training, the Dortmund players have greatly improved their ability to pass. They can already keep up with the passing rhythm of Zhou Yi.
※※※
After the game restarted, Dortmund's side obviously accelerated the passing speed. Dortmund's players kept running and passing.
Zhou Yi as Dortmund's offensive hub, the ball will always pass under his feet, but whether it is Harvey Garcia, or other Manchester City players, it has become increasingly difficult to stop Zhou Yi.
Because Zhou Yi's passing speed is getting faster and faster, he always waits for the football to stop, and immediately passes it again. He didn't need to observe the situation or look up. He was looking back to see if Manchester City's defensive players were posted, but at the same time he passed the football in another direction.
This is really confusing.
Through continuous rapid transmission, Dortmund recovered the situation little by little.
Originally, before Harvey Garcia received the yellow card, Manchester City had always had the upper hand, and Dortmund could not even hold his head up.
But now, the situation is reversed, Dortmund's offensive gradually rises, and in the face of their offensive, Manchester City has shrunk back a little bit.
"Dortmund has taken the initiative in the game!" Marcel Leif was very happy.
Mark Lawrence looked at this scene with relish. Zhou Yi did not look at the pass of the passing goal many times, and it really made him fascinated.
As if the entire court was in his mind, he didn't need to observe at all to know where to pass the football.
※※※
Forty-first minutes, four minutes before the end of the first half, Manchester City haven't attacked Dortmund in a while.
Dortmund got another chance to attack.
Zhou Yi did not push to the front, he caught the ball in the back. Because he didn't go up, Harvey Garcia could not rush to defend him. Mancini chose regional defense instead of man-to-man defense when formulating defensive tactics, and did not arrange for a certain person to follow Zhou Yi incessantly.
So in the back, Zhou Yi can take the ball relatively calmly.
But he is also relatively far from Manchester City's goal.
After Zhou Yi took the ball, he didn't directly pass a long pass in the back to pass the football, but took the ball forward.
As he moved forward, he entered the Harvey Garcia zone.
Harvey Garcia greeted him quickly.
Seeing the greeted Harvey Garcia, Zhou Yi used his right foot to buckle the football to the left, and at the same time, his body also turned left, as if he wanted to develop to the left.
Seeing Zhou Yi's move, Manchester City's rear line also adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, biased to this side, and quickly made up the left side of the free, so that Zhou Yi did not have a shot. At this time, Harvey Garcia posted it again so that Zhou Yi could no longer pass the football forward. If he doesn't want to be intercepted, he can only pass back. Then Manchester City's defense was successful.
Mark Lawrence was high on the commentary and saw the whole picture of the stadium. He noticed that Manchester City's defense had blocked Zhou Yi's offensive direction, but he also saw the blind spot in Zhou Yi's vision, In fact, there is a huge empty space-because Manchester City has shifted the center of gravity of the defense line to the other side, so there is naturally a free space there.
The emptiness was so obvious, not only that he saw it, he believed that some players in Dortmund and Manchester City also saw it, but what about it?
The football is now under Zhou Yi’s feet, and Zhou Yi turned his back to that direction, he couldn’t see the emptiness at all, and the football wouldn’t be passed there.
But in the eyes of Mark Lawrence, he had always looked forward to the empty space with anticipation.
He felt that Zhou Yi could "see" it.
So he said: "On the right side of Manchester City's defense, there is an empty, this is the opportunity for Dortmund to attack!"
The Manchester City fans in front of the TV will certainly be dissatisfied with his remarks, thinking that Mark Laurenson is talking nonsense with his eyes-how can the empty sight that Zhou Yi cannot see be a chance for Dortmund to attack?
But at this time, Zhou Yi, who was originally facing the left, suddenly turned around and kicked his foot towards the football!
Harvey Garcia, who was next to him, hadn't reacted yet, and the football had flew from his front... behind him!
The football flew to the right side of Manchester City's defense line, that huge empty space!
"Zhou Yi passed the ball!" Mark Laurenson exclaimed excitedly. "He saw it!!" (To be continued.)
