Chapter 101 The last round
The game continues, and Klopp and Bouvage's observation of the game continues.
In their eyes, Dortmund's midfield runs smoothly.
Dortmund's players seem to have no adaptational obstacles to whether Shahin is the core or Zhou Yi is the core.
At first they were a little surprised, but soon they found that Zhou Yi was really actively doing what the core should do, and they were willing to cooperate with Zhou Yi. Besides, Shahin didn't say anything, so what do they have to say?
So they quickly passed the football more to Zhou Yi, allowing the team's offense to revolve around Zhou Yi.
If you think about it carefully, it is quite normal.
After all, during the period when Shahin was injured, Zhou Yi was always the one-single core player, and the players cooperated with him happily and efficiently.
It is logical that before a new core emerges, the coaching team needs to do a lot of work and practice enough in daily training.
But Zhou Yi didn't have this opportunity. He was rushing the duck to put it on the shelves at that time. However, Zhou Yi's performance was beyond everyone's expectations and he did a very beautiful job.
He fits into the team completely seamlessly.
So during the period when Shahin was injured, Dortmund's performance was very good and stable.
Later, after Shahin returned from injury, the team went through a very short period of adjustment.
So in fact, the players are very adaptable to Zhou Yi as the core.
Seeing this scene, Klopp has increased some confidence in the team's prospects after the lack of Shahin next season.
Although I don't understand why Zhou Yi suddenly became proactive in this game and snatched Shahin's command, and Shahin didn't say anything, it seems that the team is operating normally and Klopp is not so anxious.
Freiburg originally set up defensive tactics against Shahin in this game.
But what they didn't expect was that at the beginning of the game, the core of Dortmund suddenly became Zhou Yi, and Shahin was like an auxiliary!
Now, Freiburg's defense preparations were all gone a week before the game...
But Zhou Yi became very active.
In the 27th minute, he instigated an offense and passed the football to Groschloitz, Groschloitz assisted Barrios to score.
Dortmund led his opponent 1:0 away.
Then through the transmission of Zhou Yi and Shahin, Dortmund firmly controlled the midfield rhythm at his feet, mobilizing Freiburg to run away.
When Buvac saw this scene, he suddenly sighed: "This is the dual-core I want to see. Anyone can take the lead alone or play others as wedding dresses. When leading the way, the dual-core can also help stabilize the ball control... but a pity."
Klopp naturally knew what his pity meant.
After this game, you can't see such a dual-core.
After working hard for half a season, the tactics that had just been formed were forced to be suspended due to the strategies in the team's transfer market. For a tactical coach, this both hurts him and makes him helpless.
But there is no way, German football coaches and English football coaches are different. In Germany, the most responsible persons in football clubs are club general managers, such as Bayern Munich's Henes and Dortmund's Zorke.
In England, the head coach has the final say. He has the most critical transfer personnel rights.
※※※
After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Freiburg significantly strengthened the offense.
Although they have succeeded in relegation one round ahead of schedule, they did not say goodbye to this season with a loss in their last game at home.
In the 60th minute, Freiburg's striker Idrisu equalized the score for the team.
Then both sides fell into a stalemate, with opportunities but no one was sure of them.
After seventy minutes, the score was still not rewritten.
In fact, for both parties, this last game is without desires.
It doesn't have to fight too fiercely.
Especially in Dortmund, many people are thinking about how to go on vacation and where to go on vacation, rather than competition.
So gradually, they were suppressed by Freiburg's more striking style of play on the scene.
For safety reasons, Dortmund adjusted himself. They gradually regained their defense and gave up space in the midfield, while Freiburg took advantage of the victory to pursue Dortmund and suppressed Dortmund.
It seems that Freiburg is bombing around Dortmund.
Freiburg's home court, Mag Solar Stadium, was cheering from Freiburg fans, hoping that the team can defeat Dortmund after a smooth relegation and end the season.
In fact, in Zhou Yi's opinion, Freiburg was eager to win, and they were too pressured to pass the exam, and there was a lot of room to use in the backcourt, especially in the counterattack after Dortmund intercepted the ball.
But that requires accurate long passes.
After all, that is not a problem that can be solved by passing a five to fifteen-meter game.
When it comes to long-term transmission, Zhou Yi thought of the projects he had been practicing recently.
Although I have been practicing in the virtual space for more than two months, this is still far from Zhou Yi’s goal.
Originally, Zhou Yi felt that he didn't plan to take the risk before he practiced well.
But now...
Since there are so many opportunities, why not try it?
Anyway, it is the last game of the league, and the team has no specific goals now. Even if they lose this game, it will not affect the team's ranking.
Is there any better opportunity to do experiments than this?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to use long passes to create opportunities. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t pass well. If he can pass well once, he will make a profit.
※※※
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and Zhou Yi soon got a chance. At that time, when Freiburg's offense was intercepted by Sven Bend when he was reaching the 30-meter area of Dortmund, he was intercepted by Sven Bend. Then, Sven Bend passed the football to Zhou Yi.
As soon as Zhou Yi turned around, he saw the endless space in Freiburg's halftime...
At the same time, I also saw Barrios standing in front.
Because Freiburg was very pressing, even if he was at the forefront, Barrios was only on the center line at this time.
After Zhou Yi saw the direction of Barrios, he directly passed the ball!
This is his first long pass over thirty meters in this game!
The direction was right, but the power was a bit strong. Barrios ran two steps and saw that the football was far ahead of him. He would definitely not be able to catch up, so he gave up running. At the same time, he did not forget to give Zhou Yi behind him a thumbs up and signaled that he would pass it well.
In fact, Zhou Yi’s pass was not good, but this is the basic etiquette on the court.
Zhou Yi frowned and shook his head, obviously not satisfied with his performance.
Since joining the Green Heirs program to Europe to participate in the recording of a reality show, and now he has worked hard in the first team of Dortmund for one season, Zhou Yi has learned a truth. That is, others can be tolerant of themselves, but he cannot be tolerant of himself.
Otherwise, they will be eliminated in this highly competitive world.
He carefully recalled in his mind how he felt when he was practicing long passes in a virtual space.
The way of exerting force, the angle of exerting force, the part of the touch ball, and how much force is applied...
Zhou Yi started to simulate in his brain.
Because Freiburg was pressing Dortmund to attack, there were actually not many opportunities for Zhou Yi to pass the long distance. He could not spend every hard-earned opportunity, but had to simulate several times in his brain.
※※※
In fact, when Dortmund was beaten by Freiburg, Shahin's long pass could play a role.
However, in this game, Shahin did not mean to help Zhou Yi, but fulfilled his task as an assistant, but would never go beyond the line.
On the contrary, during the game, he turned his attention to Zhou Yi many times, all with a meaning of interest in his eyes.
It seems to be trying to see how Zhou Yi will solve this problem.
In the past, when Dortmund fought back, Zhou Yi ran forward with football and relied on running to cooperate with his teammates. But in the counterattack that pursued extreme speed, it would appear slower...
At this time, a long pass that is as accurate as a cruise missile is the most suitable.
Shahin's left foot has such ability, but Zhou Yi does not have such ability either on both the left and right feet.
In the past, when the dual-core operation was running, Shahin basically played this kind of long passes by himself, and Zhou Yi was responsible for passing in the middle and short distances, especially short distances.
But next season, after he is not in the team, how will Zhou Yi be the core?
Shahin wanted to see if Zhou Yi had the ability to take the lead.
※※※
After Shahin and Sven Bend joined forces to cut off Freiburg's attack, the football reached Shahin's feet.
In fact, at this time, Shahin can directly pass the ball to the front with a long pass.
But he didn't do this, or he didn't do it in the end. He did swing his left foot, look up and look into the distance, and make a long pass. However, when he was about to fall, his ankle shook and he transferred the football to Zhou Yi not far away.
This is one of his countless passes to Zhou Yi in this game.
Zhou Yi received the ball in a not-so-large space.
Because Freiburg besieged Dortmund's penalty area, there are many people at the forefront of Dortmund's penalty area. It is not easy for Zhou Yi to find a gap, and this gap will be fleeting.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, other Freiburg players rushed towards Zhou Yi.
There is not much time left for Zhou Yi to think and deal with the ball.
Zhou Yi gently tweaked the ball he received to his right side. Next, he took a step behind the football with his left foot and next to the football. At the same time, he swung his right leg, turned his right foot outward, and kept his ankle fixed and locked, pulling the football from behind to forward.
The front end of his right foot accurately hit the football, and the football flew into the air and flew towards Barrios in front.
When the football left his feet, a light lit up in Zhou Yi's mind.
Rhythm!
During this passing process, he experienced a rhythm.
The rhythm of starting from the right foot trolling to the end of the football passing out is very smooth and completed in one go.
As soon as the football went out, Zhou Yi felt infinite confidence in his heart, thinking that this ball must have!
His eyes followed the football in the air and flew towards Barrios.
Chapter completed!
