Vol 4 Chapter 174: Royce's World Wave

Zhou Yi just got the ball, this is Dortmund's chance to fight back, but he hasn't turned around yet, was pushed down by Atletico Madrid player Cork from behind.
Dortmund's counterattack failed.
The referee Thomson's whistle sounded, and Cork was fouled, but he did not show him a yellow card, but only a verbal warning, which caused dissatisfaction among Dortmund players.
They gathered around to find Thomson's theory.
"This is not the first time they have done this!"
The Dortmund players shouted to the head referee.
Zhou Yi got up from the ground, but did not participate. He patted the grass scraps on his body.
He was not angry about Cork's foul. He was not dissatisfied with the referee who only verbally warned Cork.
His teammates are right. This is not the first time that Atletico Madrid players have fouled themselves this way, nor is it only Cork.
Zhou Yi has been targeted four times in these ten-minute games.
Sometimes it's an Atletico Madrid player, sometimes it's two or three people who rob Zhou Yi.
As the core of the team, it is normal to be marked by opponents in the game. But today's Atletico Madrid players are more active than usual when defending Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi certainly knows why.
It should be his and Sun Pan's bet angered Atletico Madrid players.
This was really not his intention. He just bet against Sun Pan, did he bet against Atletico Madrid?
But this is also very good. Obviously, Atletico Madrid has attached more importance to itself than to his teammates. This is Dortmund's opportunity.
Zhou Yi regards himself as a magnet, attracts the attention of Atletico Madrid players as much as possible, and provides space for his teammates.
Although putting yourself in danger, chances are in these dangers.
※※※
When the game continued, Dortmund had lost the opportunity to fight back, but the pressure around Zhou Yi did not alleviate it.
No matter where he takes the ball, players wearing Atletico Madrid jerseys will quickly appear around him.
For Zhou Yi's marking, Simone's team really made great efforts to fight for Zhou Yi's little chance.
So in fact, even if Zhou Yi did not bet against Sun Pan, or he and Sun Pan's direct game was not known to Atletico Madrid players, Zhou Yi faced no pressure on him.
When Simone gave his players how to mark Zhou Yi's mission before the game, he repeatedly emphasized that Zhou Yi should not be turned around. One turned around and was the biggest threat to Zhou Yi.
So Cork just pushed Zhou Yi to the ground without waiting for Zhou Yi to turn around.
Dortmund's counterattack was not successful, and naturally it did not threaten the goal guarded by Sun Pan.
After Atlético Madrid regained control of the ball, they continued to launch a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal and still wanted to score another goal in the shortest time.
Dortmund can only recover the defense again.
It can be seen how Atletico Madrid plays against Zhou Yi's key defense.
But the ball cannot always be at the feet of Atletico Madrid players and will always change ownership.
Two minutes later, Dortmund once again gained possession.
Atletico Madrid players did not run back and retreated to their own half, but took a high position to grab.
This defensive strategy on the one hand can make it more difficult for Dortmund to control the ball in the midfield and backcourt, so that Dortmund can't calmly organize a counterattack. On the other hand, if they can cut the football directly in the frontcourt, then they can just The ground directly launched a counterattack and hit Dortmund by surprise.
High-level robbing requires the players to keep running, rushing to the ground, not rushing alone, but everyone on the team is rushing up together, so as to form a wave of rushing like a tide, causing opponents to be busy. Make mistakes under yourself.
This is very physically demanding, but Simone’s Atletico Madrid’s physical fitness is very good, and they don’t have to worry about it at all.
Atlético de Madrid's high-level did indeed cause a lot of trouble for Dortmund's players, so that they did not know how to get the ball when they turned from the defender to take the ball back. With a little hesitation, the perfect opportunity to fight back may be gone.
At this time, it is necessary to give the football to Zhou Yi and let Zhou Yi decide what to do.
Atletico Madrid made a defensive arrangement that focused on Zhou Yi in response to Dortmund's countermeasures.
Atlético de Madrid players almost always come to Zhou Yi with football.
This makes Zhou Yi difficult to handle the ball.
Marcel Leif was dissatisfied that the referee Thomson did not show Cork a yellow card: "Thomson’s approach is a kind of indulgence. He revealed a signal to Atletico Madrid players-you can play whatever you want, as long as you don’t It doesn’t matter if you kick your life... Thomson’s appeasement is the fundamental reason that makes Atletico Madrid so rampant on the road!"
In his own home but without home advantage, Marcel Leif was unfair for Dortmund.
But no one can change the referee's enforcement style. If he only complains that the referee's punishment scale is too lax, it will not help to win the game.
※※※
Despite the deep siege, Zhou Yi made a gesture of asking for the ball to Subotic who took the ball.
However, after Subotic passed the football to him, there really was no chance to turn around. He could only pass the football back to Subotic again, and then continue to run forward.
While running, he continued to ask Subotic for the ball.
Subotic wanted to kick the football directly, but it didn't make sense to catch the ball.
He had to pass the football to Zhou Yi again.
This time around Zhou Yi, there are as many as four Atlético de Madrid players. They are very close to Zhou Yi, but in general, it is a siege to Zhou Yi. As long as Zhou Yi stops the football, someone will post it. .
But this time Zhou Yi did not choose to stop the ball. He ran towards the football. When the football rolled over, he used the heel to give the football kick to Sven Bender on the back of his side. Then he ran forward, but as he ran, the defensive players of Atletico Madrid collectively retreated, forming a wall of four defensive players in front of him, which not only prevented him from rushing forward easily, It also made Sven Bender unable to pass the football forward.
Sven Bender was fine, he couldn't force the football to the front? In that way, possession of the ball is likely to change ownership.
In desperation, he chose to pass back, passing the football to right back Piszick.
After passing back continuously, seeing Dortmund's counterattack could not be beaten, He Ping felt sorry for Dortmund: "Atletico Madrid's high position did a very good job, so Dortmund couldn't find a very good shooting point... It’s difficult for Dortmund to reverse the situation of being crushed by Atletico Madrid..."
Zhou Yi had rushed forward, but when he looked back, Sven Bender passed the football back, and he turned around and ran back.
Made the required gesture again.
Pishcek knows that Zhou Yi is heavily marked by opponents, but besides Zhou Yi, is there any other way? The more this time, the more he believed in Zhou Yi's ability, so he passed the football.
Zhou Yi turned his back on the offensive direction and received the football. Cork rushed up again, intending to stick to Zhou Yi and prevent him from turning around.
But before he posted it, Zhou Yi once again used his heels to pass the football.
The football rolled over Cork's feet and fell to Lewandowski's feet.
"Good shot!" He Ping applauded Zhou Yi's heel pass.
After the pass, Zhou Yi turned and rushed forward.
Lewandowski, who turned away from the offensive direction, used his body to support the pressure of Atletico Madrid players. After waiting for Zhou Yi to rush up, he sent the football sideways.
Then he turned around and ran forward.
This was the first time Zhou Yi was able to catch the ball while facing the offensive direction in this attack. There was a huge cheer from the stands.
In the huge cheers, Atletico Madrid defenders rushed to Zhou Yi.
This is based on the principle of "whoever takes the ball is the biggest threat". At the same time, due to the bet that Zhou Yi and Sun Pan played before the match, Atletico Madrid players made Zhou Yi the top priority.
Almost in a blink of an eye, two deep lines of defense were formed in front of Zhou Yi. Whether Zhou Yi wanted to shoot or break through, it became extremely difficult. Passing? Then he can only choose to use the heel to pass back, because in his field of vision, there will be no Dortmund players who can respond to him and available space.
Seeing this scene off the court, Simone had confidence in his players. He believed that as long as Zhou Yi stopped football, Dortmund's attack would stop here.
In fact, Simone's estimate is good. As long as Zhou Yi stops the football, whether it is dead at his feet or in front of his feet, the encirclement will shrink instantly and become a yoke on his neck, making him breathless.
However, Zhou Yi didn't intend to stop the ball. He lifted his right foot to meet Lewandowski's horizontally passing football and shoveled it down. Then the football flew directly, and an external arc was drawn in the air, bypassing the Atletico Madrid players in front of him and turning to the right of the penalty area.
Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin jumped up and tried to push the football out. At the beginning he came to the top. He incorrectly estimated the height of the football. The flying arc is higher than he thought!
The leaked football fell down and was received by Royce who was inserted into the penalty area!
"Royce--!!!" Marcel Leff yelled in excitement.
Royce, who inserted between the penalty areas, lifted his right leg while running, bent his bow and arrow, and kicked out at the far corner of the goal!
With a loud bang, the falling football was firmly drawn into the middle by his forefoot, and then the football drew a parabola and flew towards the back corner of the goal.
In the face of Royce's so vigorous sinking~EbookFREE.me~ also brought a deciduous shot, although Sun Panyue made a save action, he failed to touch the football-that parabola The apex of is just around the tip of his finger!
Sun Pan, who was not able to touch the football, looked up and stared at the football, but instead of seeing the scene where the football flew out of the goal, he saw the football fall into the net nest while rubbing the border between the goalpost and the beam...
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Marcel Leff screamed excitedly. "Marco Royce! Marco Royce!!! An amazing world wave, he evened the score for Dortmund!!!"
The entire Westerly Stadium was ignited by this goal. All Dortmund fans jumped up. When they fell, the stadium was shaking like an earthquake.
"Marco--!!!" DJ Norbert Decor at the scene shouted with a long voice.
Immediately afterwards, Dortmund fans responded loudly and uniformly to him: "--Royce!!!"
This is the atmosphere of Dortmund at home, is the dream treatment of every Dortmund player. (To be continued.)
