Chapter 562: The Martial Saint Arrives in Westphalia (1)

"In this game, Dortmund's starting lineup was a 4231.

The lone striker Aubameyang, this striker has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal and is very smart in his positioning, a perfect opportunist.

Behind him are young players Dembele, Gotze and Reus.

The double defensive midfielders are Weigl and Rod.

Four defenders, Schmelzer, Bartra, Papastathopoulos, Piszczek.

Goalkeeper Burki. "

Gotze and Reus, once the twin stars in Klopp's team, made Bayern dizzy with their youth storm.

They won the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive years and reached the final of the Champions League, fighting with Bayern Munich for 1 minutes but ultimately lost 2:.

If Gotze had not announced his joining Bayern Munich in advance, causing instability in Dortmund's morale, Dortmund might have had a chance to win its first Champions League title since the new century.

Gotze is considered a traitor by many Dortmund fans.

It is undeniable that Götze played a very important role in Dortmund's revival.

After transferring to Bayern, his condition deteriorated seriously due to physical problems.

This season, he returned to Dortmund, but his form is average.

He performed well in the Champions League and started again in this game.

"For Manchester City, Guardiola likes to play in a 433 formation recently, and this game is no exception.

Three forwards, Zhao Yi, Aguero and Sterling.

The three midfielders are De Bruyne, Kante and David Silva.

Four defenders, Delph, Kompany, Stones, Kyle Walker.

The starting goalkeeper is Ederson. ”

With his outstanding performance, Ederson has grown into the team's first goalkeeper.

Previously, Bravo would start in cup matches, but now Guardiola prefers to use Ederson even in cup matches.

Bravo's passing and receiving ability is far inferior to Ederson's.

Zhao Yi and Royce need to guess the side of the coin.

Zhao Yi attaches great importance to this link.

Determining the kick-off party will make countless brothers cheer.

Dortmund chooses the side and Manchester City has the ball.

When the kick-off party was determined, many guys had already come ashore and gone into the sea.

"Okay, the competition between the two sides has officially begun!"

Aguero passed the ball directly to goalkeeper Ederson.

Then the battle was launched.

Westfalen, the passionate north stand, cheered from the very beginning.

They gave Zhao Yi enough respect at the opening.

Of course, it also gave him a big warning.

They acknowledged that Zhao Yi's skills were unparalleled.

He is the martial arts saint and god of war on the court.

But even the Martial Saint can be defeated sometimes. Today, Westphalia will be Zhao Yi's Maicheng!

Piszczek and Rod's defense on Zhao Yi was very effective.

The two men surrounded Zhao Yi, preventing the ball from reaching Zhao Yi's feet.

Manchester City began to look for opportunities from the right and the center.

Zhao Yi would also run out of the encirclement to provide support.

In the third minute of the game, Manchester City got a good chance.

After Zhao Yi received the ball with his back, he cooperated with De Bruyne and Silva.

Silva finally passed the ball horizontally to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took a long shot towards Rod, but the ball was saved by Burki.

The fans in the entire north stand booed loudly.

It puts enough pressure on Manchester City players.

Dortmund has always been known for its offensive strength, and their attack was equally sharp in this game.

In the eighth minute, Reus received a pass from Gotze and rushed forward with the ball.

A precise cross was made from the bottom line, and Aubameyang jumped high and headed the ball into the stands.

Aubameyang held his head in frustration.

Dortmund missed a great chance.

"Both sides had strong offensive firepower. Dortmund did not retreat at all at home. Facing Manchester City, they did not choose to defend to the death!"

Both sides played at a fast pace.

Zhao Yi likes this rhythm.

As a forward, he did not retreat to his own half to defend in this game.

At most, he would return to the midline to assist in defense.

This put a lot of defensive pressure on Dortmund.

Full-back Piszczek did not dare to make an assist easily.

Dortmund's offensive efficiency on the right was a little lower.

Dembélé on the left is still young and his talent is obvious, but unfortunately his strength is still far from his peak.

Kyle Walker easily handled the ball several times.

In the 29th minute of the game, Götze made a mistake while dribbling the ball in the middle.

Kante forcibly intercepted the ball and then passed it to David Silva.

Manchester City advanced quickly.

Silva accurately guided the ball behind Piszczek.

Piszczek tried his best and failed to catch up with Zhao Yi who had started running.

Zhao Yi forced an overtake on the wing, broke into the inside, pushed Piszczek behind him, and rushed into the penalty area.

"Piszczek! He is indeed much slower in speed!

Zhao Yi, single-handed shot! "

Stepping into the penalty area, Zhao Yi met the hesitant Burki with a powerful kick.

The football rushed to the upper right corner!

Manchester City takes the lead 1:0!

Zhao Yi did not celebrate passionately.

Instead, he ran to the sidelines and stood still.

Made a new celebration gesture towards the Dortmund fans in the stands.

Hold your right hand loosely and stroke your beard with your left hand.

(Here the Sword King has a winning smile)

Westphalia booed loudly.

"Zhao Yi! This celebration action is imitating Guan Yu's image!

The goal was impressive, the pose was cool, but the smile was a little…"

It's a bit vulgar and hard to put into words.

Manchester City's teammates surrounded Zhao Yi, they didn't quite understand what this action meant.

Are you imitating your grandfather?

Is it not okay to mock Dortmund’s defense?

Zhao Yi finally felt the enthusiasm of the Westfalen fans.

Angry roars and curses were heard.

These fans gave Zhao Yi everything he wanted.

As the game continued, Dortmund's number of attacks was no less than Manchester City's.

But Aubameyang disappeared in this game.

Apart from the first opportunity, it was never seen again.

This star player is an expert at bullying weak opponents and likes to hide when facing strong teams.

Dembele and Reus started to exert their strength on the left and right sides, with consecutive shots from both sides.

In ten minutes, Dembele had two shots and Reus had one.

However, all of Dembele's shots went wide. Under the influence of Kyle Walker, his shots were forced and were not aimed at the goal at all.

However, Reus was able to handle the ball with ease under Delph's defense, but his shot was strongly saved by Ederson.

There was another beautiful pass, and Götze followed up with a shot, but was blocked by Kompany with his back.

In the 39th minute, De Bruyne made a fatal pass and passed the ball to Aguero through two people.

Aguero scored with a powerful shot!

Manchester City leads 2:0!

Just when Manchester City fans felt that the game was secured, team star Reus broke out, set sail from the right, broke into the penalty area in injury time in the first half, shook off Kompany and made a lob shot.

The football hits the far corner!

Dortmund scored a goal and the suspense arose again!

The cry of Westphalia made the enemy's heart palpitate and also inspired the friendly forces.

In the last minute of stoppage time in the first half, Dortmund launched a quick counterattack.

Dembele was young and energetic. He did not choose to pass the ball to Aubameyang in the middle, but went straight to the goal himself, but was blocked by Ederson.

Aubameyang was very unhappy.

He was invisible for forty minutes, and when he finally had a chance, his teammates didn't pass the ball.

However, he had a good character and did not yell at Dembele.

I was just unhappy and turned away.
