When it came to proactively creating space, everyone thought of dribbling breakthroughs, because that was the most direct way.

But when it came to dribbling, that wasn't Zhou Yi's forte.

That kind of thing should be left to Yan Min, Royce, or Aubameyang.

However, with Bayern Munich's dense defense, even they found it difficult to get good enough opportunities for dribbling breakthroughs.

At this time, speed was not the most important advantage, but the ability to control the ball well in a narrow space.

In this regard, Zhou Yi had some advantages.

When he received the ball from his teammate again, he made a feint to pass the ball to the wing, but then passed the ball directly to Royce, who was very close to him.

Then, instead of moving sideways or backwards to find space, he went against the grain and rushed directly into Bayern Munich's penalty area.

This sudden move caught Bayern Munich's defense a bit off guard. And it was this little bit of surprise that allowed Zhou Yi to slip in!

When Royce saw Zhou Yi suddenly rushing forward, he knew that he couldn't just pass the ball back and forth like this anymore. Zhou Yi had made a change, and he had to keep up with Zhou Yi's change as well. Although he wasn't quite sure what Zhou Yi was going to do specifically, out of the trust and tacit understanding that had developed from playing together for the past two seasons, Royce did not hesitate to push the ball forward, passing it to Zhou Yi's feet.

Zhou Yi was different from speed-type players like Yan Min and Aubameyang. You shouldn't pass the ball several meters in front of him, but should ensure that the ball is passed as accurately as possible to his feet, even if it means he stops it dead.

When Zhou Yi received the pass from Royce, one of his feet had already stepped on the edge of the penalty area line.

If the Bayern Munich players were to foul him at this time, it would very likely be a penalty kick.

So when Zhou Yi received the pass from Royce, Javi Martínez also came up, stretching his foot towards the ball at Zhou Yi's feet, trying to poke the ball away and disrupt the play.

When Javi Martínez stretched his foot out, Zhou Yi used his right foot to pull the ball under his body. At the same time, he stepped forward with his body to the right front, and then turned around to use his back to block Martínez.

As soon as the two made physical contact, Javi Martínez raised his hands, indicating that he was innocent and had not pushed him. If Zhou Yi fell in the penalty area next, it would definitely not be his fault, but Zhou Yi's dive!

But Zhou Yi did not fall to the ground. Martínez was afraid of committing a foul, so he didn't exert much force, and Zhou Yi was not affected by the impact.

After pulling the ball under his body, he used the outside of his left foot to gently push the ball to the left front, taking advantage of the momentum to break through inside!

The penalty area was crowded with people, and even just moving forward would encounter heavy resistance.

Now he encountered the frontal interception of Bayern Munich's central defender Dante.

Facing Dante's frontal interception, Zhou Yi did not force a breakthrough, but turned around to protect the ball first.

Seeing Zhou Yi turn around, Dante breathed a sigh of relief—in attack, once the attacking player turns around, it basically means that he has lost the initiative and the advantage in attack. It meant that the threat to the goal was greatly reduced.

However, Zhou Yi, with his back to the direction of attack, was not honest. He leaned his upper body to the left, as if he was about to turn around again.

Of course, Dante couldn't let him turn around like this, so he immediately went up to him.

As a result, Zhou Yi's move was just a feint. He used the outside of his right foot to push the ball to the outside, and his upper body quickly turned back!

Just as he had completed half of his turn, Alaba rushed up to intercept the ball that Zhou Yi had pushed over.

Zhou Yi was one step ahead again, using the sole of his right foot to pull the ball to the left, while cutting across his body to block the turning Dante.

Like Martínez, Dante immediately slammed on the brakes when he saw Zhou Yi's body leaning over, raising his hands and not daring to even stretch out his foot, for fear that Zhou Yi would fall to the ground.

Now that Zhou Yi had arrived near the penalty spot, if Zhou Yi fell, it was very likely that the referee would award Bayern Munich a penalty kick!

Dante had to be careful.

But he couldn't just watch Zhou Yi complete his turn and face the goal without doing anything.

So, although his arms were raised and his feet were retracted, his upper body seemed to be pressing down on Zhou Yi from top to bottom due to inertia!

He wanted to use his body to put pressure on Zhou Yi, oppress Zhou Yi, so that he could not maintain his balance, or to make him use more strength to fight against himself, leaving him no time to do other things.

Zhou Yi did feel the pressure from Dante. His weight was almost entirely on him, forcing Zhou Yi to bend over and lower his head, and even… his center of gravity was somewhat forward, almost losing his balance.

At this time, Alaba also surrounded him again, planning to kick the ball away while Zhou Yi was unable to attend to other things.

It seemed that Zhou Yi, with his body leaning forward, was lowering his head and using all his strength to resist the pressure from Dante. Because of this posture, Zhou Yi's center of gravity had exceeded the ball, which was the most uncomfortable posture, making it almost impossible to handle the ball well.

Or rather, there was no way to kick the ball forward.

But just as Alaba rushed up, Zhou Yi suddenly shot!

Yes, a shot!

With his center of gravity leaning forward significantly and his balance almost impossible to maintain, Zhou Yi supported his body with one leg, and then kicked the ball with the other leg without being able to run up!

He poked the ball forward with his toe!

The ball flew straight to the far post of the goal!

This was a very concealed shot. Before the ball flew past, no one could have predicted that Zhou Yi would actually shoot!

Even Neuer did not expect Zhou Yi to shoot in such an unconventional way!

So, although Zhou Yi's shot was not a powerful one, it was sudden.

When Neuer saw the ball flying towards the far corner of the goal behind him, he pushed off the ground to pounce, but it was too late. He didn't reach the ball!

"Zhou Yi shoots—!" In Duan Xin's drawn-out roar, the ball flew past Neuer's hand and plunged into the goal! "Good shot!! Good shot! This goal was beautiful!!!"

"Zhou Yi is surrounded... Eh? The ball! The ball is in! Toooooooooooor!!!" Marcel Reif was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly after reacting. "Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!!!"

He was so excited that he could only repeat the name of the goalscorer.

And the entire Westfalenstadion was boiling at this moment.

※※※

After shooting, Zhou Yi completely gave up resisting, so he was unsurprisingly pinned to the ground by Dante. Lying on the ground, he didn't forget to look up and watch the ball go into the goal.

Then he got up from the ground on all fours, crawled out from under Dante, and roared, waving his fists!

And what about Dante?

He continued to maintain the posture of pressing on him, but his whole body was frozen there, like a statue…

He was also looking at the ball in the goal, with an incredulous and unbelievable expression.

How did this ball… go in?

How did this Zhou Yi… do it!

Zhou Yi had only run a few steps when he was hugged around the waist by Mark, followed by Royce, Aubameyang, Yan Min… they rushed up in a swarm, hugged Zhou Yi, pushed him to the ground, and piled on top of him.

At this moment, the entire Westfalenstadion had turned into an erupting volcano, with scorching lava and heat waves constantly gushing upwards, soaring into the sky!

"Zhou Yi's decisive goal! His goal in the final moments helped Dortmund equalize for the third time in this game! This is not a very beautiful goal, but it is a very, very important goal! This goal allows Dortmund to maintain their pursuit of Bayern Munich, so that they will not be completely left behind by Bayern Munich!" Duan Xin was excited and agitated.

"This is really a game that no one could have imagined before the game! The disaster on Dortmund's defense made everyone think that Bayern Munich would definitely be able to easily defeat Dortmund away from home! But Dortmund stubbornly equalized three times in the game! Zhou Yi! He provided an assist in this game and scored this goal! I think for Bayern Munich, the absence of Dortmund's four main defenders is not an advantage. Unless Zhou Yi is not on the field, they can really say that they have defeated Dortmund…"

"Listen to the cheers from the scene! Everyone is chanting Zhou Yi's name!"

Speaking of this, Duan Xin paused for a moment…

Through satellite signals, the shouts of the fans at the scene were clearly transmitted on the television.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!"

The Dortmund fans uniformly and continuously repeated Zhou Yi's name.

"This is the value of a star, the value of a core!" Duan Xin continued. "When the team is playing smoothly, anyone seems to be able to show their ability. But when the team encounters difficulties and adversity, some people disappear, and only those who are truly willing to take responsibility and have the ability to take responsibility can stand out, and Zhou Yi is undoubtedly such a person!"

Duan Xin's praise for Zhou Yi was truly unreserved. Before, when Yan Min performed well, he kept praising Yan Min, and even made some Zhou Yi supporters a little jealous. But now, listening to his evaluation of Zhou Yi, you can tell that his previous praise for Yan Min was really nothing…
