Zhou Yi suddenly passed the football to an angle he couldn't see at all, which greatly exceeded the expectations of Javi Garcia, who was marking him.

He never expected Zhou Yi to pass the ball like that.

When he looked back at the football, he realized there was a huge gap there!

Reus received the ball in that gap.

With no one defending him at all, he used his chest to control the ball passed by Zhou Yi, and then faced Manchester City's goal directly!

Zhou Yi's feint had deceived the entire Manchester City defense into thinking that the left side was Dortmund's main attacking direction, so that now on the opposite side, they had no defensive forces at all.

"Reus! Great ball! This is an excellent opportunity!"

Marcel Reif shouted.

In his shouts, Reus stopped the football, took another touch forward, and entered the penalty area.

Manchester City's players turned and rushed back, but it was too late.

The gap was too big, and it wasn't easy for them to make up for it now...

After Reus entered the penalty area, he decisively shot, and the football flew along the grass towards the far corner of the goal.

This made goalkeeper Joe Hart, who had just returned from the far corner, very depressed. He had to stop suddenly and shift his center of gravity while rushing back, and then rush back again, which was impossible to do.

He slipped in the process, completely losing the possibility of making a save, and could only lie on the ground and watch the football fly past his hand and then... hit the net in the goal!

"tooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!" Marcel Reif shouted with his arms raised. "Dortmund scored a goal away from home! 1:0!"

"Reus! Beautiful shot! Goal!" Although it wasn't Zhou Yi who scored, He Ping was also very happy, because it was Zhou Yi who passed the ball, and he passed it very beautifully. If Reus hadn't scored this goal, wouldn't Zhou Yi's beautiful pass have been wasted?

Now Zhou Yi's pass can compete for the best assist in the Champions League this season...

Reus was very excited after scoring. He ran to Zhou Yi to hug and celebrate the goal.

He was able to score this goal, and of course the person he should thank the most was Zhou Yi. When he ran to that gap, it was only out of an attacking player's instinct to use the gap when he discovered it, but whether he could really use the gap depended on whether someone could pass the football to him.

At that time, Zhou Yi was facing away from him, and he didn't take this opportunity too seriously, thinking that since Zhou Yi was facing away from him and couldn't see him, he shouldn't pass the ball over.

Who would have thought that the football would fly towards him in the end? Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise he might not have been able to catch the ball...

Although he only returned to Dortmund this summer and hasn't played with Zhou Yi for very long, Reus has fully experienced Zhou Yi's power. This kind of power wasn't felt so deeply when he was his opponent...

When the football flew into the goal, Mark Lawrenson said, "Oh dear, Manchester City lost a goal! But it doesn't seem to be Manchester City's fault, who would have thought that Zhou Yi could send the football to a place he couldn't see at all?"

After speaking, he leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face.

That's what he expected.

This game, and the Chinese team's games at the London Olympics he had commentated on before, further strengthened the guess in his heart.

That is, Zhou Yi must have extraordinary talents, he can see things that ordinary people can't see.

Generally speaking, the human eye's viewing angle is 124 degrees, and when focusing, this angle will be greatly reduced to 25 degrees, which is why people are more likely to ignore many things when they are nervous.

But in Mark Lawrenson's view, Zhou Yi's viewing angle may be 360 degrees.

This is incredible, how can the human eye see the scene behind its head?

But the fact has proved this point time and time again, Zhou Yi can see many places that others can't see or don't notice.

Mark Lawrenson felt that this may be related to Zhou Yi's frequent head movements when playing football. His head is like a radar, constantly scanning the surrounding situation, and can record the situation around his body.

So Zhou Yi certainly didn't see that gap with the back of his head, but scanned it before and left it in his mind. When needed, he would think of this gap and pass the football over.

In fact, the situation on the field is changing rapidly, so even if some gaps appear at the time, it cannot be guaranteed that they will still be there after a while.

But Zhou Yi can still accurately find those gaps.

This is what fascinates Mark Lawrenson.

Watching Zhou Yi play football gives the feeling of watching God play chess. He knows everything that happens in any corner of the "chessboard" of the stadium.

If this is Zhou Yi's talent, then this is a very, very, very amazing talent, simply put, it is a "heaven-defying talent."

As a former main center back in Liverpool, who was invincible in Europe and England, and a senior commentator who has commentated on countless games since retiring, Mark Lawrenson certainly knows the value of Zhou Yi's ability.

Zhou Yi's assist helped Reus score a goal, and Reus's goal helped Dortmund take the lead away from home.

Seeing that the first half was about to end, the home team Manchester City lost a goal and became the lagging side.

This situation made Manchester City really depressed.

Obviously, they had a higher ball possession rate in the first half, and they had more shots, and even more shots on target.

But the team that scored was Dortmund.

It goes without saying that they lost to Real Madrid away from home. If they can't win against Dortmund at their home ground, it will be difficult to qualify from this group...

So after the game restarted, Manchester City did not shrink back to defend, but launched a frenzied counterattack, wanting to equalize the score before the end of the first half.

But how is this possible?

Dortmund's defense is not made of paper. If they were equalized by the opponent immediately after scoring a goal, it would simply be a disgrace to Dortmund's defenders.

So until the end of the first half, the score did not change, and Dortmund led 1:0 away from home at the end of the first half.

During the half-time break, commentators and guests were discussing Dortmund's goal, and the first-half review was also repeatedly playing this goal, especially Zhou Yi's wonderful pass to Reus.

Many people marveled at why Zhou Yi could see the gap behind him. It should be known that after he took the ball and turned to the left, he didn't turn his head to look at other places at all. All his attention was on the football under his feet and confronting Javi Garcia.

In the locker room, Dortmund's coach Klopp was arranging how his players should play in the second half.

He was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. They withstood Manchester City's aggressive offensive on defense, and also scored a goal on offense.

The goal in the second half is to strive to continue to expand the lead. After all, a one-goal lead will always make Manchester City feel that they have a chance and hope, so they will continue to put pressure on Dortmund's defense, which is a very dangerous thing.

If Dortmund can score a goal at the beginning of the second half and make the game a two-goal lead, then the pressure on the defense will be greatly reduced.

However, listening to Klopp's arrangement, Zhou Yi had different views.

For most people, a one-goal lead is a very unsafe score. Zhou Yi also agrees with this view, but unsafe is not always a bad thing. Unsafe means unstable, and unstable means full of variables, and these variables may contain opportunities.

So thinking about this kind of insecurity in reverse is actually an opportunity.

When Manchester City is unwilling to lose the game at their home court, they will definitely go all out to attack in the game, and many gaps that can be used will be left behind them. In Zhou Yi's eyes, these gaps can be transformed into goals.

So when the second half was about to begin, Zhou Yi gathered his teammates on the field and told them his thoughts.

That is, at the beginning of the second half, don't rush to attack, defend first.

"But this is different from what the coach said..." Sven Bender was a little worried.

"It's okay, listen to me." Zhou Yi didn't explain much. Explaining one question will lead to more questions. It's not that he doesn't want to explain these questions, but mainly because he doesn't have time to explain them now. The second half is about to begin. If he and his teammates form a circle to have a meeting, it is obviously impossible.

So he simply and forcefully said to listen to him. His teammates didn't feel anything wrong with his kind of forcefulness. Anyway, it wasn't the first time to listen to him in the game, and the key is that the effect was very good, so everyone didn't question it.

Since Zhou Yi said to listen to him, then listen to him.
