Chapter 1023 Zhou Yi's Response
Who would have thought that Aubameyang would quickly pass the ball to the front right of the penalty area?
There, Zhou Yi caught up and used his foot to block the ball, taking possession!
"Zhou Yi!!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly.
At this moment, there wasn't a single Bayern Munich player around Zhou Yi!
As Zhou Yi stopped the ball, he gently nudged it forward, so the ball didn't stop directly at Zhou Yi's feet, but changed direction and rolled forward, allowing Zhou Yi to enter the penalty area without stopping!
Seeing Zhou Yi dribble into the penalty area, Neuer quickly abandoned his goal and charged out.
His teammates hadn't had time to surround him yet, and if he didn't come out, there would be no one to block Zhou Yi's shot.
But how could Zhou Yi let Neuer get his way?
Without waiting for Neuer to reach him, he caught up with the ball and shot with his right foot!
He curled the ball with a subtle arc, flying over Neuer's diving body and into the far corner of the goal!
Goal!
"Zhou Yi—GOAL!!!" Duan Xin shouted.
"Wow wow wow wow!!!" Marcel Reif also shouted excitedly. "In the nineteenth minute of the game, Borussia Dortmund, who haven't had many good chances, broke the deadlock with a counterattack! Zhou Yi's agile forward run earned him an excellent shooting opportunity! And he didn't waste it, steadily shooting the ball into the goal! Zhou Yi's foot was very steady at the moment of the shot! In fact, the difficulty of that shot was not as low as everyone thought, after all, the angle wasn't great, and there was Neuer's interference. But Zhou Yi still calmly shot and scored!"

When the ball flew into the goal, the boos in the Allianz Arena paused slightly, but quickly resumed, all aimed at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi didn't care.
After scoring, he didn't run too far, but stayed in Bayern Munich's penalty area, opening his arms to his teammates who were running over to celebrate the goal with him.
He wasn't as ecstatic as people imagined.
Even the smile on his face was just a smile, not a big laugh.
On the other hand, his teammates and coaches were much more excited than he was.
Klopp jumped three feet high on the sidelines, and after landing, he waved his fist hard, as if he was beating Bayern Munich, the "punching bag."
Then he turned around and high-fived each of the coaching staff colleagues and substitute players who came out to celebrate.
His movements were very large and his strength was very strong when he high-fived, and some people shook their hands next to him after high-fiving him to relieve the pain…

While Borussia Dortmund players were celebrating the goal, the Bayern Munich players who had conceded the goal were a little dazed—they had been on top before, so how did two consecutive goals turn into an opportunity for Borussia Dortmund to counterattack? And why was Borussia Dortmund's counterattack efficiency so high? The first shot of the game, and it went in!?
Götze, who was returning to defense, had just run to the arc outside the penalty area when he saw Zhou Yi complete the scoring shot, and he held his head in his hands, feeling very depressed.
He had just issued a challenge to Zhou Yi, saying that he must defeat him.
In the blink of an eye, the guy scored!
Could there be anything more depressing than this?
Looking at Zhou Yi surrounded by his teammates, Götze was speechless with pain.
Guardiola wasn't much better, clutching his bald head with both hands when the goal was conceded.
But he didn't lose his temper after all.
Because if he wanted to lose his temper, he didn't know who to lose it at. Aimless venting was meaningless.
Was Bayern Munich not doing well enough on this goal?
They were hit by a counterattack during the corner kick, and Rafinha's timely clearance was already excellent. In theory, Borussia Dortmund's counterattack should have ended there.
Who would have thought that Borussia Dortmund would even quickly throw in the free kick, continuing the rapid counterattack that had already been interrupted.
It could only be said that Borussia Dortmund's timing was really too good, that Borussia Dortmund played well, not that Bayern Munich played badly.
When your opponent plays better than you, you have nothing to say.
You can only hold it in and suffer internal injuries.

"This is really surprising... In Bayern Munich's home stadium, Bayern Munich also had the advantage after the game started. But in the end, Borussia Dortmund took the lead in scoring..." Marcel Reif said with emotion. "They scored on just one counterattack. This is still Borussia Dortmund's first shot of the game. Listen to the sound in the Allianz Arena after the goal, it's much quieter. Bayern Munich fans probably didn't expect it, it's like being doused with a bucket of cold water..."
In fact, Marcel Reif's description was not accurate enough.
What Zhou Yi splashed out was not just cold water, it was ice water.
When the game restarted, Bayern Munich's players seemed to be frozen by the ice water, and they looked like they had lost their souls.
Not long after Borussia Dortmund scored, Borussia Dortmund launched another attack.
Zhou Yi dribbled the ball past the midfield line and, facing the pressing Bayern Munich defense and the huge open space behind them, he passed the ball straight to the left wing.
There, Aubameyang pulled to the wing to respond.
Zhou Yi chose to send the ball behind Bayern Munich's defense, which could give full play to Aubameyang's speed.
Aubameyang successfully received the ball, took two steps and then made a bicycle kick feint, shaking Rafinha so he didn't dare to stretch his foot, and then suddenly cut inside, rushing to the edge of the penalty area.
This was a very sensitive position, and Rafinha dared not stretch his foot even more, what if he made a mistake in the busy schedule and committed a foul?
Seeing Rafinha's concerns, Aubameyang also knew that this was a good opportunity for him to shoot!
At least Rafinha didn't dare to come up and stretch his foot to block it.
So he suddenly shot while dribbling horizontally!
The ball drew a downward arc and flew towards the near upper corner of the goal.
Fortunately, Neuer was guarding there, and he jumped high and used one hand to push Aubameyang's very sudden shot over the crossbar!
"Wow! That was close!" Marcel Reif was also taken aback.
Aubameyang's shot was very sudden, and the quality was also very good. At first, it looked like it was going to be high, but in front of the goal, there was a very sudden drop, like a falling leaf ball.
If Neuer wasn't focused, or thought that the ball was going to be high anyway, and just jumped symbolically, the ball might have really gone in...
Although the ball didn't go in, Guardiola looked very angry, shouting and waving his arms on the sidelines, reminding his players to cheer up.
Aubameyang's shot did sound the alarm for Bayern Munich players.
They had been in a daze since conceding the goal, but Aubameyang's shot woke them up.
Borussia Dortmund's corner kick didn't pose a threat to Bayern Munich's goal, and was directly headed out by center back Dante.
Subsequently, Bayern Munich gradually showed their advantage in ball control and controlled the situation on the field.
In the twenty-fifth minute, Ribéry easily broke through Borussia Dortmund's right back Großkreutz on the left wing and then crossed the ball, but the ball was headed out of the baseline by Sven Bender, who returned to defense.
The subsequent corner kick did not pose a threat to Borussia Dortmund's goal.
But Bayern Munich still relied on their strong ball control ability to dominate the game. More possession meant that they could control the ball more, and could organize more attacks.
In the twenty-eighth minute, Ribéry once again broke through Großkreutz on the wing, caught up with the ball near the baseline, and then desperately passed the ball into the penalty area.
The ball flew to the edge of the penalty area and was poked by Sven Bender first, snatching the ball to Zhou Yi who was responding nearby before Lewandowski.
Zhou Yi was preparing to receive the ball with his back to the direction of attack, and Götze rushed up behind him, intending to block Zhou Yi's path to get the ball.
As a result, Zhou Yi, who was completely focused on the ball, seemed to have eyes behind his head, and gently hooked the ball back, dodging Götze who was trying to block him, and also allowing himself to complete the turn.
"Good ball!" Duan Xin couldn't help but cheer when he saw Zhou Yi's escape.
Next, Zhou Yi dribbled the ball forward and passed the ball to Reus next to him before Schweinsteiger rushed up.
At the same time, he accelerated and ran diagonally forward, straight into the gap behind Bayern Munich's left back Alaba. Reus also saw Zhou Yi's run, so he planned to pass the ball to him, which was a good opportunity for Borussia Dortmund to counterattack.
But Reus's forward pass was blocked by Alaba, who stepped up to intercept.
The rebounding ball happened to land near Götze, who had been passed by Zhou Yi and was desperately returning to defense.
Götze used his head to tap the bouncing ball to the side, giving it to Alaba who had stepped in.
Alaba dribbled the ball and pretended to break through from the wing, but Borussia Dortmund quickly formed a defensive formation of four people on the wing.
So Alaba passed the ball back to Götze.
As soon as Götze received the ball, he stepped on the ball to the side, while using his body to hold off Reus who came up to defend him. Reus stretched his foot to try to steal the ball, but because of Götze's series of actions, he failed to touch the ball.
At this time, Zhou Yi also rushed back, wanting to sandwich Götze with Reus and steal the ball at his feet.
As a result, Götze very deftly pushed the ball between Zhou Yi's legs, while accelerating and starting, drilling out from the gap between Zhou Yi and Reus!
Nutmeg, dribbling past the player!
Just now Zhou Yi cleverly escaped from Götze, and now Götze immediately returned the favor!
