Chapter 999 Point Against Point
Fortunately, He Ying was quickly pulled up by his teammates, and he seemed to be fine. He breathed a sigh of relief and praised He Ying's performance: "He Ying was very decisive in that breakthrough just now. In this state, he will probably continue to make Dortmund's defense feel uncomfortable… It's good to make Piszczek get a yellow card, at least in the next game, Piszczek will be more cautious when defending him, so he won't make such a dangerous move again…"

Only twelve minutes into the game, a Dortmund player received a yellow card, which shows how embarrassed they are playing…
It wasn't until the eighteenth minute that Dortmund had their first shot of the game—after Yan Min dribbled the ball inside, he didn't choose to pass, but instead took a curved shot from the edge of the penalty area. The football was pressed to the ground by Paris Saint-Germain's goalkeeper, Sirigu.
Marcel Reif shook his head at his choice: "He should have passed the ball, with Reus at the far post… or passed it horizontally to Zhou Yi…"
But this is Yan Min's style of play. Sometimes you see him just focusing on dribbling the ball with his head down, wasting opportunities, which can make you itch with hatred. But sometimes, his unreasonable breakthroughs can create miracles and make you applaud him.
At least when most of the Dortmund team's players are not in good shape, Yan Min still maintains his usual level…
Seeing He Ying performing so well, Yan Min naturally refused to be outdone. Although he is not considered one of the "Five Little Dragons Abroad," the desire to challenge masters has always been Yan Min's creed.
He Ying's excellent state also aroused Yan Min's competitive spirit.
He was not affected by the save at all. He turned his head to look at He Ying, his eyes shining.
Zhou Yi noticed Yan Min's movement, followed his gaze, and found He Ying, so he knew what was going on.
Now the team's other players are too tired, not excited enough, and they were stunned by the early goal conceded, unable to get into the game for a long time.
If you want to compete against Paris Saint-Germain, Yan Min is a very suitable candidate.
Zhou Yi himself was heavily marked by Paris Saint-Germain in this game, with Matuidi and Motta taking turns to stick to him, not giving him much space to get the ball.
※※※
Yan Min can indeed be regarded as the most active person in the Dortmund team in this game so far.
He even retreated to the edge of the penalty area to defend, and this position is actually not his…
In the twentieth minute, he was defending in the middle, facing Verratti's possession of the ball.
Verratti originally wanted to pass the ball, but found that there were no good passing points ahead, so he pulled the ball back, intending to turn around and find another way.
As he pulled the ball back and half-turned his body, Yan Min suddenly stepped forward with lightning speed, poking the ball away from the unprepared Verratti's feet.
The poked ball happened to land at Zhou Yi's feet next to him.
Yan Min, who had intercepted the ball, did not stay where he was, but immediately accelerated and started, surpassing Verratti and rushing forward.
Zhou Yi made a slight adjustment, and after Yan Min opened up the angle, he passed the ball diagonally, sending it to his front.
Yan Min received Zhou Yi's pass in the center circle. At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain defender Alex rushed up, wanting to intercept the ball.
Yan Min once again used his advantage of fast foot frequency, took the lead, and poked the ball forward. The ball窜passed Alex's side, and then he planned to rush past Alex's other side for a beautiful nutmeg.
Alex couldn't stop at this time. The foot that was originally intended to intercept the ball directly stepped on Yan Min's foot, causing Yan Min to lose his balance and roll to the ground, rolling several times before stopping…
The referee's whistle sounded again, and this time, there were no boos in the Parc des Princes stadium…
This foul was uncontroversial. Alex himself did not make any excuses for it. The Dortmund players were too far away to rush up.
And the referee had already decisively showed Alex a yellow card.
Alex himself was also very well-behaved and did not argue with the referee.
※※※
"Alex's foul was too bad!" He Ping was still worried about He Ying just now, but now it was Dortmund's Yan Min's turn to worry him. Who told them that both of them are Chinese players, and both are important figures for the Chinese team to play in the World Cup?
He doesn't want He Ying to be injured, nor does he want Yan Min to be injured. He hopes that all Chinese players will be safe and sound in this season's games, and welcome the arrival of the Brazil World Cup in the best physical condition.
Fortunately, although Yan Min was stepped on hard by Alex, he quickly got up from the ground, and it seemed that he should be fine. He tried to run two steps, and at first it was a bit painful, and his face showed a grimace. Soon he returned to normal and was able to run at a normal pace, indicating that it should be a hard injury and did not hurt the joints and ligaments.
Dortmund took advantage of this free kick opportunity to organize an attack, and it reached the right side of the frontcourt.
On the right side, Reus and Mark sought cooperation between them. Reus cleverly passed the ball on the side to Mark, who pulled to the edge of the penalty area to meet him, and then he插inserted into the penalty area. Mark tried to pass the ball to him with his heel in the situation of facing away from him.
But he didn't pass accurately, and passed the ball directly to Matuidi next to Reus.
Matuidi took the opportunity to pass the ball to Cavani, who returned to the outside of the penalty area. Cavani passed the ball back to Verratti, Verratti passed it to Motta, and Motta then passed the ball forward to Ibrahimović.
After Ibrahimović received the ball, he turned around, looked up at the situation in front, and decisively sent a through ball of more than twenty meters!
Passed the ball to He Ying, who was at the front left side!
"Good ball, Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack idea is very clear, as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water!"
In fact, when Ibrahimović passed the ball, Dortmund's center back Sokratis Papastathopoulos was still sticking to He Ying. But Ibrahimović's ball was well passed, not directly to He Ying's feet, but to his front.
This allows He Ying to bring out his speed advantage.
So He Ying accelerated and used his speed to force past Sokratis.
Sokratis is a tall center back with excellent frontal defense ability. He is not He Ying's opponent at all in terms of speed. After only one round of confrontation, he was defeated and left behind by He Ying's speed. Sokratis could only reach out and pull He Ying, but he didn't dare to keep pulling him. Piszczek had already received a yellow card for this kid, and if he received another yellow card, it would be a big trouble…
This pulling and tugging allowed He Ying to break into the penalty area.
Because He Ying is Paris Saint-Germain's player at the very front, when he breaks into the penalty area, there is no target he can pass to, so He Ying chose to shoot directly!
The football flew past Weidenfeller's hand and hit the side netting…
Although he didn't score, it scared the Dortmund fans a lot.
He Ying didn't score. After he finished shooting, he complained to the referee who followed him back, tugged at his jersey, and gestured that Sokratis had been constantly pulling his jersey throughout the whole process, interfering with his shot. Shouldn't this be a foul?
But the referee didn't think so. With no way to appeal, He Ying could only accept it and shook his head back to his position.
Although he didn't score, He Ying's performance was still very outstanding in the commentator's mouth.
The TV broadcast changed the angle to replay He Ying's counterattack just now.
The commentators praised He Ying's speed: "When Ibrahimović got the ball, He Ying was still behind the center line, and then he started to accelerate… Look! Sokratis has no way to deal with his sudden acceleration!"
"I think Sokratis had pulling movements on his hands… Strictly speaking, it can be judged as a foul. He Ying's performance is impeccable, he brought his speed advantage to the fullest…"
"What a pity… If He Ying scored this counterattack, Dortmund would be in hell… Dortmund has escaped a disaster now, but if He Ying continues to rush like this, he may continue to concede goals…"
