Champion’s Heart

Facts have proved that in fact Dortmund's away game against Bayern Munich was indeed one of the key games to decide the league champion.

Because after Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich away, in the final game of the current round of the league, Leverkusen played a 2:2 draw with Werder Bremen.

Originally, the difference between the two teams was six points, and now the difference between the two sides has been further widened, and the gap between the eight points is close to ten...

Eight points is the gap between the three games, which is already a relatively safe point difference.

After Bayern Munich lost to Dortmund, news came out that Bayern Munich executives are already seriously considering Van Gaal's position.

In the 25th round of the league, Dortmund welcomed Cologne at home. Since three days later is the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with AC Milan, so this game, Klopp has rotated.

Even Zhou Yi did not appear in the starting list.

In the end Dortmund beat Cologne 1-0 at home.

For Dortmund today, there is no difference between a small win and a three-goal win in the league, as long as three points are achieved.

Zhou Yi came off the bench in the final ten minutes of the game to complete the warm-up before the match against AC Milan.

The next day, the AC Milan team arrived in Dortmund.

In an interview at the airport, AC Milan's top star Ibrahimovic said AC Milan will laugh to the end.

"We now have ninety minutes to fish for an away goal, so their one away goal is no big deal." The Swede pouted.

Before the match against AC Milan. Klopp arranged the tasks for his players in the locker room: "Don’t think we won them on the road, we can definitely advance to the quarterfinals. In fact, even the probability is not necessarily higher than the opponent. After all, we only won them one goal. Don’t think Ibrahimovic’s words are annoying, that’s the truth, now they have a full ninety minutes to score an away goal. If we let them score a goal , Then our advantage on the road is in vain."

Klopp's expression was very serious when he said these words, making people think he would emphasize the importance of defense.

But then he turned around and said: "So we have to score earlier than them in this game, as long as we can score more than them, no matter how many goals they end up in, they will be eliminated!"

Allegri is still densely drawn on the tactical board. It looks messy.

He is continually explaining the tactical characteristics of Dortmund to his players, to curb their side, to curb their middle, to pay attention to their core, to pay attention to their Geze and Mark...Thanks to Kagawa Injured, he no longer has to say "pay attention to Kagawa Shinji".

Although AC Milan has ranked first in Serie A this season. But Allegri knew that for AC Milan, a club with a Champions League gene, the results in the Champions League are equally important.

If it was eliminated in the first round of the knockout, it would be too disgraceful...

When the game started, AC Milan, who was back in the water, launched a violent attack on Dortmund's goal.

At their worst offensive, Dortmund could not even be compressed through the half.

Marcel Leif was exclaiming who was at home.

Of course, AC Milan also paid a price.

Their full-back Jankulovski received a yellow card in the opening 28 minutes.

At the thirty-second minute. The midfielder Flamini was late for a foul on Zhou Yi, and the yellow card he received in Zhou Yi last round, even if AC Milan can break into the quarterfinals, he will miss a quarter. The first round of the final.

At the end of the first half, striker Pato also got a yellow card because he moved too much in the fight...

In the first half, AC Milan took the cards with three people, all of them in front, middle and back. This can be reflected in the data. What is not reflected in the data is that the defensive actions of AC Milan players are very large.

But they have no choice.

With Zhou Yi, Dortmund is a team that is very good at controlling football and rhythm. If they want to break the rhythm of Dortmund, the most effective way is to foul...

Fouls can frequently interrupt Dortmund's ball-control rhythm.

Of course, they will also bring themselves a very high risk of eating. After all, this is Dortmund's home court. The referee will be more or less biased towards the home team.

At this time, in order to advance, AC Milan could not care so much.

Faced with AC Milan's siege, Dortmund struggled a little, but he didn't lose the ball anyway.

Zhou Yi frequently uses passes to control the situation, but he has also become a key defense object for AC Milan players. Both Flamini and Pato's yellow cards are eaten by him.

Allegri apparently washed away his lessons from the failure of the first game, he surrounded Zhou Yi in all aspects.

Of course, he also knows that it is impossible to make Zhou Yi completely useless, so he chose to limit Zhou Yi's role in a certain part, such as offense...

His siege forced Zhou Yi to only pass back or cross, but could not pass the ball forward, so Dortmund could not play a threatening attack. This allows AC Milan's rear line to gain temporary security, so that AC Milan can concentrate on the offensive and strive to advance the ball before Dortmund's goal and reverse the situation.

Standing on the sidelines of Allegri, with his hands in his pockets, staring at the stadium very attentively, closely watching the development of the game.

He believes that as long as AC Milan can advance the ball, it will change the trend of the whole game and pave the way for the final reversal to win...

But until the end of the first half, he did not see the goal appear. Although Dortmund seems to be struggling to cope with it, they didn't lose the ball. Their defensive toughness is greater than Allegri thought...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and played again. It was still AC Milan's anti-guest attack on Dortmund. Dortmund was compressed to his own half and rarely could attack the AC Milan half.

This scene really saw the AC Milan fans bloody, if they are at their home, I'm afraid the cheering sound has already resounded through the sky.

But it's a pity that this is at Dortmund's home ground, so all that is over the stadium is...boos.

In the boo, AC Milan desperately charged Dortmund's goal.

Not every time their offense threatens Weidenfeller's goal.

Some attacks will be intercepted halfway.

At this time, Dortmund's players will choose to kick the football forward, leaving Dortmund's goal temporarily away from danger.

But there are always exceptions.

For example, this time, when Subotic intended to take the football straight out, he glanced at Zhou Yi's gesture to ask for the ball.

He looked at the situation around Zhou Yi, because Zhou Yi withdrew to the wing, so there is no AC Milan player around him at the moment, this is a chance to get the ball...

So he passed the football.

But when he just passed the football, he saw AC Milan midfielder Boateng rushed to Zhou Yi!

But when he observes himself, he is still far away!

This kid is like a black panther lurking in the grass. He has been carefully hiding his body, and then waited for the opportunity to leap to the prey again!

Obviously, Zhou Yi is his prey!

The key is that Zhou Yi, who turned his back on him, can't see him at all, and it's impossible to know that a murderous black panther has rushed to him behind him.

Subotic wanted to remind Zhou Yi, just opened his mouth, the football has reached Zhou Yi, he must be too late.

So he quickly set up a defensive posture, ready to meet AC Milan's counterattack.

But at this time, he saw that Zhou Yi raised his foot against the football and knocked the football sideways to Sven Bender. At the same time, he turned quickly, as if he had eyes behind him, bypassing Boateng!

And when he turned around, Boateng was still a bit dazed-he didn't expect to be so abruptly attacked!

Seeing this scene, Subotic yelled excitedly in his heart: Good thing, Zhou Yi!

※※※

"Zhou Yi! Beautiful turn! He avoided Boateng's persecution!"

Sven Bender did not stop the ball, but passed the football passed by Zhou Yi diagonally to the front, the goal is Zhou Yi who has turned and rushed up!

Zhou Yi thus bypassed Boateng with a two-on-one collision.

Seeing Zhou Yi throw away the defensive player, the other Dortmund players naturally knew what they should do.

Goetze, Grosskreuz, Mark, and Lewandowski quickly moved up ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some people ran forward, others approached Zhou Yi, ready to respond to him.

Dortmund's offensive system suddenly worked after being silent for half a game, not jerky at all, smooth and smooth.

And the core component of this system is naturally Zhou Yi who takes the ball.

After catching the ball, without raising his head to observe, he raised his foot again for a long pass.

The football flew directly to Goetze's feet on the other side.

When he had just passed the ball, Flamini killed him in front of him-AC Milan's player defense is indeed very fast. If Zhou Yi stops the ball and observes it, or takes one more step, Flamini Stop right here...

But as if he knew this in advance, he perfectly avoided this risk!

After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not stay in place and accelerated to run forward.

Dortmund's counterattack continues! (To be continued.)
