Royce's complaints made Kagawa Shinji reluctant to show off his skills, which was not good for Norwich. Kagawa Shinji's dribbling and passing skills were top-notch, and dealing with Norwich's midfielders and defenders was not a problem at all.

He could always find Royce on the wing accurately, and Aubameyang, who kept roaming in the middle, had extremely ghostly runs and superb shooting skills.

If Norwich's defenders hadn't been blocking shots non-stop, the score would probably have been rewritten long ago.

The Norwich midfielders, who had been doing nothing, had no choice but to retreat to defend. They couldn't launch a suitable counterattack at all.

Ospina, who was at the front, was a little impatient. Not a single ball could be passed to him. As a center forward, he didn't even have a chance to shoot!

He could only keep running back and forth, wasting his energy in vain.

Zhao Gang was also taken care of by Hummels.

Facing a defender of Hummels' level, Zhao Gang lacked experience and his dribbling was even worse. When the ball reached his feet, he couldn't shoot, didn't have a decent pass, and couldn't break through.

So, he would basically lose possession.

Hummels understood Zhao Gang's playing style in less than twenty minutes.

He wouldn't dribble or break through, and he didn't have accurate passing skills to find people. He should just be the final link in the chain. In this way, defending him would be much easier.

Hummels' ability to read the game, combined with Piszczek, easily eliminated Zhao Gang's scoring opportunities!

Hummels was deeply impressed by Zhao Gang's shots in the video. At first, he was cautious, but now he realized that he could only shoot, and couldn't do anything else!

It was easy to limit this kind of single-minded forward.

Will on the stand bit his index finger. As he expected, Zhao Gang had no room to play once he faced a strong defender.

Dortmund's midfield completely blew up Norwich's midfielders. It was difficult for Norwich to launch a decent defensive counterattack!

Even if they could, Dortmund's defenders could easily destroy the ball.

Zhao Gang, this kind of forward player, seemed to only be waiting for opportunities to score.

He had no passing ability and no defensive characteristics.

It was impossible for him to gain a foothold in Manchester City.

Zhao Gang finally realized that it was useless for him to only be able to shoot.

When Norwich didn't have an advantage in other positions, his shooting ability would be weakened infinitely.

When Norwich had an advantage in other positions, even if it wasn't a disadvantage, his ability would be amplified infinitely.

Facing Dortmund, his shooting skills were almost useless. Dortmund's defenders would not easily give him a chance to shoot.

At this time, there needed to be a strong midfielder who could pass an overhead ball, allowing Ospina to counterattack and threaten the goal.

Zhao Gang thought to himself that he could use the passing experience card today!

If he could get system points, he would have to quickly put system points on passing in the future.

But what if he used it now? What about the second half?

Farke looked solemn on the sidelines, watching his players being firmly suppressed.

Sure enough, the previous victories gave many people, including himself, an illusion.

They thought they could compete head-on with strong teams.

The gap between Norwich and strong teams was too big.

The Europa League really didn't belong to Norwich!

The fans in the stands, who were originally excited, were also a little discouraged.

Norwich in their impression shouldn't be like this.

Although they hadn't conceded a goal, it was only a matter of time.

They couldn't see the possibility of victory at all.

Or rather, they couldn't see the possibility of scoring at all.

The connection between Wright and Zhao Gang was completely cut off.

Ospina was also lost in the frontcourt.

Philip and Wright were good at breaking through and short passes.

They didn't have the ability to accurately pass long balls to find the frontcourt.

So, Ospina had no chance at all.

The cheers of the fans in the stands were almost all given to the defenders, making them defend like they had been injected with chicken blood.

For more than half an hour, Norwich hadn't been able to pose a threat to Dortmund's goal once!

"Norwich is struggling a bit. Their tactics are indeed a bit simple. They use Wright and Philip's breakthroughs to find Zhao Gang in the open space, but now, it's difficult for Wright and Philip to get a chance to break through, and it's also difficult for the ball to cross the midfield. If Norwich's midfield had a midfielder similar to De Bruyne, who could directly and accurately find Ospina in the backcourt, then the situation would be much better!" Shen Jian, as a commentator, could naturally see the problem.

The key was that Norwich didn't have De Bruyne!

Facing a team like Dortmund, whether it was the tactical system or the personal abilities of the players, they were suppressed everywhere.

Farke saw almost no hope.

Zhao Gang, whom he relied on, didn't even have a chance to shoot. How could he score a goal?

Fortunately, Norwich's defenders withstood the enormous pressure. Even Aubameyang, a Bundesliga goal machine, was unable to score in the first half today.

Royce and Mkhitaryan on the left and right almost turned the wings into their own corridors!

They could do whatever they wanted. Fortunately, Norwich's center backs made up for the defense in time, and the goalkeeper performed well, so they didn't concede a goal in the first half.

But everyone could see that it was only a matter of time before Norwich conceded a goal.

The players who entered the locker room completely lost their previous passion.

Their imagination was beautiful, but the reality was too cruel.

The gap between themselves and top players was still too big.

Facing Championship teams, even a leader like Fulham, they still had a chance to fight and could win by surprise counterattacks.

But facing Dortmund, a team that ranked second in the Bundesliga and could compete with the giant Bayern Munich, they were still too far apart.

Including Farke, the entire locker room was silent.

Now, all the encouraging words were not very effective for them.

Because in the entire first half, they didn't have a shred of hope!

Even if there was a shred of hope, Farke could have cheered up his disciples!

Farke felt that he was a bit useless, and he didn't have a good solution at this moment.

"Hey!" Zhao Gang clapped his hands heavily. Everyone, including Farke, looked over.

In the previous eight games, Zhao Gang had led them to create miracles.

He used his miraculous shooting skills to help the team rejuvenate.

All the players believed that if there was a miracle, it would definitely be brought by him.

"Fifteen minutes, everyone believe me, within fifteen minutes, we will definitely score!"

"I need all of you to cheer up! There are only the last forty-five minutes left. As long as we can hold on, we can win Dortmund! And enter the Europa League knockout stage!"

"You don't need to know how I will get the ball into the goal, you just need to believe me! Give me fifteen minutes!"

"Fight for another fifteen minutes! Can you do it?"

Several defenders looked at each other, and then looked at the midfielders.

Finally, they all looked at Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang's eyes were firm and full of trust.

He stood up and held out his fist.

The players stood up, and Mendy put his hand on Zhao Gang's fist.

Everyone's right hand was together.

Mendy raised his head, and as the team captain, he looked deeply at Zhao Gang.

"Yes, sir!"
