Everyone applauded and cheered for Yan Min's performance, but Yan Min himself was extremely regretful. After seeing Mark and Reus miss the ball one after another, he held his head in his hands and almost knelt on the ground.

He had almost drawn all of Arsenal's defensive forces to his side, but the ball was still passed a little too far…

The game broadcast was replaying the footage of his breakthrough just now. Starting from when Zhou Yi passed the football to him, instead of choosing to stop the ball, he directly poked the ball passed to him by Zhou Yi with one foot. This was a very risky move, but of course the benefits were also great. If he hadn't poked it well, and the ball had been poked too far away from him, or if he hadn't poked the ball at all, letting it roll out of bounds, this attack would not have been possible at all.

The generally safe approach would be to stop the ball first and then dribble through.

But doing so would cost time and speed.

In order to save time and not slow down, Yan Min chose to poke the ball directly. This was very risky, but after success, he would reap great benefits. Like the successful breakthrough just now.

This choice is quite in line with Yan Min's character traits—bold, regardless of cost, somewhat crazy.

However, at this point in the game, Dortmund needed Yan Min's characteristics, needed Yan Min to go crazy.

Zhou Yi has been completely surrounded by Arsenal fans, who are sparing no expense to contain him.

At this time, Yan Min, a fresh force who has just come on the field, naturally has to shoulder more tasks.

As for Yan Min, as a crowd-pleaser, this situation will not only not put pressure on him and cause him to perform abnormally, but will instead make him more energetic.

The game continued, and Dortmund quickly got another chance to attack. Zhou Yi passed the ball to Yan Min, who was waiting for an opportunity on the wing.

As the football rolled towards Yan Min, Arsenal defender Sagna also rushed up.

Yan Min received the ball at the same time that Sagna rushed in front of him.

As Sagna lunged at Yan Min, Yan Min's left foot gently nudged the football forward with the inside of his foot, flying past the outside of Sagna. At the same time, Yan Min twisted his body to the right and slipped in, a through-ball!

"Good ball!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

Yan Min, who had executed the through-ball, broke free from Sagna, who had lunged too fiercely, and quickly caught up with the football.

At this time, Özil also chased back. Facing Özil's defense, Yan Min swung his left foot, pretending to cross the ball.

Özil quickly jumped up and stretched his leg to block.

But Yan Min's was just a feint. After his left foot landed, he hooked the football to the right side, and at the same time turned around, swinging his right foot, this time it was not a feint!

He passed the football towards the goal!

Mark failed to head the football under Mertesacker's close interference, and the football was cleared out by Mertesacker's head.

Although this attack still did not result in a goal, Yan Min had already made two beautiful breakthroughs in a row, and his performance had won the love of more and more people.

Football is like this. As a newcomer, when you don't perform well, everyone will naturally criticize you. But if you are not knocked down by criticism, but stand up tenaciously and then perform well, then you will reap a large number of supporters.

Yan Min is now using his tenacity and excellent performance to attract more people's attention and love.

Although he didn't head the football, Mark still gave Yan Min a thumbs up, praising his performance.

The TV broadcast was replaying Yan Min's series of breakthroughs just now, from getting rid of Sagna to hooking the ball and shaking off Özil. His movements were completed in one go, with a wonderful sense of beauty.

"Good kid!" He Ping praised Yan Min's performance, he was sincerely cheering for Yan Min. Because when Yan Min came on the field, He Ping was very worried, but in just a few minutes, Yan Min dispelled the worries in his heart.

This kid was not crushed by the pressure, nor was he drowned out by the voices of criticism. Even when everyone thought he had been overturned and sunk by the huge waves, he suddenly pierced out from the crest of the wave!

The TV broadcast gave Yan Min a close-up shot, and Yan Min in the shot had a somewhat reckless look between his eyebrows, which made He Ping really happy the more he looked at it.

As a newcomer, he didn't show any timidity at all. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could make him feel scared. This kind of vigor was really great.

Looking at Yan Min, He Ping couldn't help but think of his own youth.

Young people should be so unbridled!

"What did I say? My aggressive tactic worked!" Assistant coach Željko Buvač said triumphantly.

"Isn't it my aggressive tactic?" Klopp unceremoniously stole his assistant's credit.

"Okay, no matter whose credit it is, at least now we all see the hope of winning!" Buvač was in a good mood and didn't care about such a small thing as his credit being stolen by Klopp. As long as we can win, who cares whose credit it is!

After creating scoring opportunities twice in a row, Yan Min naturally also attracted Arsenal's attention.

As long as Yan Min was ready to receive the ball, an Arsenal player would immediately appear next to him to interfere with him and defend him.

When Zhou Yi got the ball in the backcourt, he saw Yan Min turn around to ask for the ball. The movement of raising his arm was quick and decisive, full of confidence, without any hesitation, as if he didn't take the Arsenal players behind him seriously at all.

So Zhou Yi also decisively passed the football over…

The area where Yan Min asked for the ball was a little behind the center line, which was still in Dortmund's half. Behind him, Sagna was almost glued to him.

He could only stop the football, then try his best to protect the football, and then pass the football back to his teammates—generally speaking, it should be like this.

But Yan Min seemed to be a person who could not be predicted by "general common sense". Facing the rolling football, he took the initiative to meet it. Sagna also followed and ran forward.

Just as Yan Min was about to receive the football, he slowed down, leaned back slightly, and opened his arms, making a gesture to protect the ball.

Sagna also believed that Yan Min was indeed going to stop and protect the ball, so he also slowed down.

The football rolled over, rolling to the side of Yan Min's left foot, and he gently nudged the football to the right with the inside of his left foot. Up to now, it was still a very ordinary ball-receiving action.

But when the football rolled towards his right foot, the heel of his right foot suddenly poked the football behind him! At the same time, with his right foot as the axis, he completed a turn!

After turning around, his left foot pushed off the ground, suddenly exerting force, and rushed past Sagna!

As for Sagna, he was still stunned in place, not understanding what was going on.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!" This time it was Marcel Reif who shouted for Yan Min. "Beautiful and agile turn to get rid of him! Yan Min's feet are like magic! Sagna was completely used as the background prop for his magic performance!"

After getting rid of Sagna, Yan Min accelerated to chase the football. Now was not the time to celebrate, because in front of him, Koscielny was chasing the football, trying to block his path forward.

※※※

Seeing this, the Dortmund fans in the stands all stood up from their seats and leaned forward to look into the stadium.

They saw Yan Min get the ball in front of Koscielny, and many people let out a burst of suppressed cheers.

Why suppressed? Because it wasn't over yet.

Getting the ball first was just the beginning. How would Yan Min get rid of Koscielny, who was already close to him?

The tall Arsenal defender was like a giant in front of the petite Yan Min. He could knock Yan Min away even if he only relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen.

Once Koscielny got close, it would not be easy to get rid of him. Although Yan Min was half a body ahead now, Koscielny was right behind him, and his hand could naturally be placed on his shoulder. Yan Min was probably using more strength to deal with the pressure exerted by Koscielny, and it would be difficult to get rid of him by speed.

However, the problem that the fans were worried about did not seem to be what Yan Min was worried about.

After rushing to the football in front of Koscielny, his left foot pushed the football to the inside. At the same time, he, who was already half a body ahead, suddenly braked!

Koscielny didn't brake in time and rushed past Yan Min. Then he adjusted his direction slightly and chased the football rolling to the inside.

Although speed was not his forte, he believed that stopping suddenly and then starting again would take Yan Min more time than usual. And his advantage was that he didn't have to slow down. He could directly chase the football. With one plus and one minus, even if Yan Min caught up in the end, he could use his physical advantage to squeeze Yan Min away. At that time, neither of them would have completely controlled the football, so there would be no talk of a charging foul.

In Koscielny's opinion, Yan Min made a mistake when he kicked the football hard and then stopped suddenly.

But he didn't see Yan Min, who had just stopped suddenly, completing the action of accelerating and starting in an unbelievable instant, rushing past the inside of Koscielny and chasing the football.

Koscielny didn't see it, but the other Arsenal players who were retreating saw it.

When Yan Min suddenly accelerated and started again after stopping suddenly, many people couldn't believe their eyes—this explosiveness was too terrifying!

If stopping suddenly and then starting again was compared to a car's gearbox shifting gears, then Yan Min's "shifting gears" just now could be described as "smooth", so smooth that people couldn't feel any frustration at all!

So when Koscielny saw Yan Min suddenly emerge from outside his field of vision and catch up with the football first, he was shocked—where did he come from?!

He reached out to pull Yan Min, but Yan Min lowered his body and accelerated again, escaping from his control range. Instead, Koscielny himself was disrupted by this action, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground… Although he barely maintained his balance in the end, he could no longer stop Yan Min.

He could only watch this Dortmund youngster dribble into the penalty area!
