Chapter 198 Big talk ahead

After Zhou Yi broke into the penalty area, he knocked the football to Reus with his heel, allowing Reus to easily score a goal.

After scoring the goal, Reus ran towards Zhou Yi, hugged him, and thanked him for his assist.

This goal allowed Dortmund to lead Werder Bremen 4-0.

The TV broadcast is replaying Reus' goal, with the focus on Zhou Yi's heel passing.

When he inserted into the penalty area to catch the ball, he kept his head down and did not observe the surrounding situation at all, but he was very decisive and determined to knock the football behind him.

Everyone has become accustomed to Zhou Yi's behavior, which is not too surprising. But it still makes people praise it.

"Zhou Yi's wonderful legend! He is like he has eyes behind his head!"

"Zhou Yi's sudden forward and dribbling attracted the attention of most Werder Bremen defenders, which instead created a chance for Reus' back insertion, and ultimately allowed Reus to shoot without anyone to guard the ball! Not only using passes, Zhou Yi is also using his own running to mobilize the opponent and organize the attack..."

"Leading 4:0, this game can be said to have ended early... Dortmund showed their level last season in this game. If they had always been at this level this season, even Guardiola's Bayern Munich, I'm afraid there would be no chance? Unfortunately... this can only be a flash in the pan..."

※※※

Werder Bremen did not get a better scoring opportunity until Dortmund led four goals. They got a one-on-one chance, but Weidenfeller made a timely attack and blocked Peterson's shot.

Not long afterwards, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi tried his best in this game. When he was substituted, although he had only been seventy minutes, he had already run nearly 12,000 meters. You should know that the game had only been seventy minutes, and there were still twenty minutes left before the end of the game. If Zhou Yi kept running like this, he might be able to run to 14,000 meters by the end of the game...

This is also a very rare running distance for Zhou Yi.

From this running data, we can also see how hard Zhou Yi is.

Klopp naturally saw it, so he replaced Zhou Yi in advance and let him rest well. Anyway, Dortmund is now leading Werder Bremen 4:0 away. Even if Werder Bremen scores one or two goals, it will not hurt Dortmund's victory.

Since that's the case, why do you still leave Zhou Yi on the court and waste your energy unnecessary and increase the risk of injury?

Ineffective signings during the winter break, if Dortmund wants to achieve good results in the second half of the season, he must protect Zhou Yi.

※※※

After Zhou Yi's fate, Werder Bremen became a little more active.

Winning this game at home seems unrealistic now, they hope now

But in the 80th minute, Dortmund pierced the goal for the fifth time.

At that time, Mark received a one-on-one opportunity after receiving a long pass from the backcourt in the frontcourt. He drifted past the goalkeeper who attacked and then easily pushed the football into the empty goal.

"5:0!! Oh oh oh! It's incredible! Dortmund was able to play such a game away! It's really a long time since we were gone..." Marcel Leif shouted in disbelief with his head in his hands.

The Wissel Stadium was silent.

"If Dortmund can maintain the momentum of this game, with the current four-point gap between them and Bayern Munich, it would be... anything is possible!"

Werder Bremen finally got a goal back at the last moment of the game, but this was because Dortmund no longer cared. They were absent-minded and were scored by Werder Bremen's midfielder Echchek, allowing Werder Bremen to avoid the misfortune of being shaved by the opponent at his home court.

After the game, Klopp also praised the team's performance in this game: "As we all know, we have encountered many difficulties. So I am very happy to see the team performing like this in this game. We were not scared by the difficulties. Half of the league is over. What will happen then? It's too early to say the conclusion now. Let's take a look!"

Klopp was naturally inspired and infected by winning such a beautiful away game.

He had been hesitating before whether to give up the league and specialize in the Champions League. It would be great if he could qualify for the Champions League next season in the league.

But now it seems that the team's combat effectiveness is still stronger than he imagined.

Zhou Yi also directly challenged Bayern Munich in an interview after the game: "It's just a four-point advantage. Dortmund won't give up so easily, we will fight to the end."

After the game, this game naturally attracted widespread attention from the media.

Especially the "harsh words" released after the game by Zhou Yi made the media care very much.

As a core player of Dortmund, Zhou Yi's every word and deed will certainly be valued and amplified in the media. However, Zhou Yi's image in the media has always been very neutral, neither good nor bad, and has a sense of proportion. He rarely says those sensational words.

However, recently, Zhou Yi has made very tough statements twice in a row.

Once on social networks, and once this time, I simply declared war on Bayern Munich when facing reporters.

This made everyone feel strange because it did not conform to Zhou Yi's traditional image in the media...

Zhou Yi’s changes have caused heated discussions. Everyone is wondering why Zhou Yi suddenly became so aggressive and so proactive in provoking trouble?

Not only the fans and media are curious, but Dortmund's teammates are also curious.

Why did Zhou Yi do this?

They have been playing football with Zhou Yi for several years. They are very familiar with who Zhou Yi is. When will Zhou Yi frequently make tough statements in the media like this?

This is usually done by Groskreuz...

"Hey, Zhou Yi, what's wrong? You stole my job recently..." Groskreuz said to Zhou Yi in the locker room where he resumed training.

Everyone also turned their curious eyes to both of them.

Zhou Yi smiled and spread his hands: "Because I want to force myself into a dead end."

Everyone in the locker room was shocked. What does Zhou Yi mean?

"Forcing it to... a dead end?" Groskreuz couldn't understand.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I've said all the big talk, and it's known to everyone in the whole country. It's hard to retreat at the last minute, right?"

"Big talk? Retreat at the last minute?" Not only Groskreuz, many Dortmund players felt that they were not smart enough and could not understand Zhou Yi's words.

"Now it seems that our hopes for winning the championship are actually quite slim. After all, Guardiola's Bayern Munich performed very stably this season, and anyone would feel desperate. So is me." Zhou Yi said. "But the league has only been halfway through. Isn't it too early to give up now? It's just that it's really difficult to catch up with this Bayern Munich. I need some courage, so I did this - when the whole world knows that I challenged them, I have no way out. At this time, I can only try my best to get back what I say."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, a silence fell into the locker room.

No one expected that Zhou Yi would do this in order to force himself, nor did he expect that the current situation would force Zhou Yi to this point...

Yan Min was the first to jump out to support Zhou Yi: "I don't think this is a big talk!" He said in not very standard German.

"Since we could reverse them last season, why can't we do this time?" Mark Wagner is also a permanent supporter of Zhou Yi.

Reus raised his hand: "I think Zhou Yi is right. It's difficult, but it's not the reason we gave up. Think about the game we just finished, how great we played away! I don't believe such a game is just a flash in the pan."

Then more and more people came out to express their support for Zhou Yi.

The locker room reunites.

Although they are facing many difficulties now, the just ending of the game against Werder Bremen has indeed given them confidence and fighting spirit.

The most important thing is that the source of strength in their team said they would not give up, which gave others confidence.

With Zhou Yi here, there is always a way!

His performance in two key matches against Bayern Munich last season is proof of this.
