Champion’s Heart

In the first warm-up match of the Chinese team, the opponent was Iran, and the venue was Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province.

Fans in Henan have given great support to the Chinese national team.

This is not only because the Chinese team has Zhou Yi, but also because Gao Hongbo has led the team's achievements since taking office.

Especially in the last major competition, the East Asian Final Four, also known as the East Asian Cup.

The Chinese team performed very well in the East Asian Cup early this year. Because Zhou Yi was not called in, so few people had confidence in them.

However, when the game started, the Chinese team's performance surprised everyone-they tied the host Japan in the first game, and then defeated South Korea by 3-0 at Ajinomoto Stadium, ending Thirty-two years of Chinese team fear of Korean disease.

Especially in this second game, the Chinese team played sullenly. Deng Zhuoxiang's goal was even more amazing.

This is the best game the Chinese national team has played since Gao Hongbo took office.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Hong Kong, China and won the East Asian Cup. This is after 2006, the Chinese team once again won the championship of this event.

In the warm-up match before the World Cup in South Africa, Deng Zhuoxiang kicked a beautiful free kick on the elevator, allowing the Chinese team to defeat the world champion France 1-0.

These few games have brought great satisfaction to Chinese fans.

Therefore, Gao Hongbo has a high reputation among Chinese fans, and this national team is also well received.

In the previous game of the national team, there was no one in the stands, there were few spectators, and the ball market was bleak.

Now, the national team's game can also overwhelm the stands.

After the darkest moments of Chinese fans, it is actually very easy to meet now-as long as the players struggle hard in the game, even if they do not win, they are very happy and play a wonderful football.

Even if it is a friendly match, if you can win. They are very happy.

A few warm-up matches before the World Cup. Zhou Yi did not participate, because he wanted special training, no time and energy to fly around to participate in the competition.

To this end, Zhou Yi also specifically passed the team coach Gao Hongbo. Gao Hongbo's understanding and support.

Externally, Gao Hongbo said that Zhou Yi played a successful season. But he was tired and needed rest, so he would not be recruited in these warm-up games.

His decision of course also aroused doubts from domestic media and fans. But Gao Hongbo still withstood the pressure. The Chinese team without Zhou Yi performed well in the warm-up game, which also made the doubts disappear.

The first warm-up match against Iran. Zhou Yi only played in the first half and started the game. He was replaced at halftime. The whole team of the Chinese team is absent. Zhou Yi is useless no matter how powerful he is.

In the end, the Chinese team lost to Asian powerhouse Iran 1:3.

The second warm-up was dead against Paraguay. Zhou Yi did not enter the starting list and came off the bench in the second half.

The Chinese team's mental appearance or individual play. They are better than the last game, and they eventually tied the World Cup quarter-finals Paraguay 1:1.

Zhou Yi launched an attack in the game. He passed the football to Feng Renliang. Feng Renliang inserted the ball and then passed it. Gao Lin, who was followed in the middle, headered the goal and the ball was scored.

This goal hit the kind of pass-through football that Gao Hongbo has always emphasized.

It also ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

The commentator Liu Hong is very excited: "This is the Chinese team we want to see! This is the football we want to see!"

After playing two warm-up matches, Zhou Yi left China by plane that night and returned to Germany.

Next there is a league, and then the Champions League.

Because there will be a Champions League next, plus just participated in the national team game, Zhou Yi has not been scheduled to start in this game.

And not only Zhou Yi, but also many players were put on the bench by Klopp, or did not enter the big list at all.

It can be seen that this time, Dortmund's focus has shifted to the Champions League.

After a lapse of seven seasons, Dortmund will return to the Champions League, of course, will pay more attention.

Dortmund, who gave up the league, eventually lost to Wolfsburg 0:2 at home in the third round of the league.

Zhou Yi did seventy-five minutes on the bench. He only played in the last fifteen minutes and was unable to return to the sky. At that time, Dortmund had fallen behind by two goals.

For the failure, the media did not blame, everyone knows that Dortmund's mind is not in the league at all, their hearts have flew to the Champions League in midweek.

In fact, not only the team, the media fans' minds have also gone to the Champions League. The outcome of a league is not important. Compared with the Champions League, the league is nothing.

Everyone looked forward to Dortmund's debut in the Champions League after seven years.

Especially... Chinese media and Chinese fans.

They seemed more excited than the German media and fans.

After all, this is Zhou Yi's debut in the Champions League and the first Chinese player to play in the Champions League since Sun Xiang.

The UEFA Champions League, as the highest level in European football and even in the world, has always been unattainable for Chinese players.

Before Zhou Yi, there were two Chinese players who appeared in the Champions League. The first was Sun Xiang, who played for PSV at the time. He was also the pinnacle of Chinese players in the Champions League performance-played a total of four Champions League games, played 168 minutes, and represented the team in the Champions League starting Played, played the whole game... these are the records of Chinese players in the Champions League.

His pinnacle was on March 7, 2007. Eindhoven made an 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. He started and played the entire game. At the 82nd minute, the team had not created a free kick in the frontcourt, and PSV used it to equalize the score.

In addition to Sun Xiang, is another Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo. On December 12, 2007, he came off the bench in the 72nd minute of the Champions League game against Manchester United, making him the first Chinese player to represent the giants like Manchester United in the Champions League.

Next, no Chinese player can make his debut in the Champions League.

In this regard, Chinese players and Japanese players compared to the general gap.

But now Zhou Yi has changed the awkward aspect of Chinese football.

Not surprisingly, he will start the game in Dortmund to challenge Valencia away. He will be the second Chinese player to start in the Champions League after Sun Xiang.

And he will be more expected than Sun Xiang, because he will not just create a free kick for the team and make the media and fans excited. If Zhou Yi is just that performance. Is disappointing.

Dortmund's team left Dortmund two days in advance and flew to Valencia.

While at the airport, Zhou Yi, as the core player of Dortmund, was under the care of Spanish journalists. They have thrown their questions to Zhou Yi.

Facing reporters who flooded up like tide, Zhou Yi dealt very calmly and calmly. Quite a general style, no stage fright.

He faced a series of tongue-twisted sounds, and calmly repeated in English: "Sorry. I_don\\t_understand (sorry, I don't understand)."

When Spanish journalists discovered that Zhou Yi would respond to them in English. The wind of dispute was changed to English questions, but still with a strong Spanish accent.

In this regard, Zhou Yiyi should be constantly changing. Say in Chinese: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying..."

Spanish journalists were completely dumbfounded.

Taking advantage of the dumbfounded opportunities of reporters. Zhou Yi passed through them calmly.

People always say that learning one more language has advantages. But for Zhou Yi at this moment, less knowledge of a language is less troublesome.

And Zhou Yi really does not understand Spanish...

He did not play in Spain. Naturally, there is no need for Spanish. How is it possible to learn?

In the evening, the Spanish media commented on Zhou Yi’s performance: “Zhou Yi was very cautious in facing the reporters’ questions. Obviously, after seven years of joining the Champions League again, Dortmund had no idea. And, we should also pay attention to one thing , That is, as the core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi is the first time in his life to participate in the Champions League..."

The Spanish media's comments are naturally in Spanish, and Zhou Yi will not be okay to turn on the TV and watch Spanish programs in Spanish hotels, so it should be reasonable to say that he should never know how the Spanish media commented on him.

But he still knew...

Because, he has a group called "Exclude Old Guo"!

At night in the hotel room, Zhou Yi turned on his computer, logged in to QQ, and showed off his Champions League tour in the group.

After all, he is the first person in this group to play the adult team Champions League.

Zhou Yi: "He Ying He Ying, I am playing in Valencia the day after tomorrow, don't you come here and hold a show?"

He Ying: "Sorry, I am in Barcelona."

Zhou Yi: "Isn't that all in Spain!"

He Ying: "Then you and Lao Yang are in the Ruhr area, and you haven't seen you to give him a support?"

Zhou Yi: "Why am I relying on you, are you stupid? Dortmund and Schalke 04 are dead enemies! How can I go to give Lao Yang? You won't go to give Real Madrid, right? Valencia and Barcelona are not always dead enemies. Come? Come, come and witness my heroic appearance!"

Facing Zhou Yi’s “arrogant” arrogance, He Ying responded with humility: “Zhou Yi, the Spanish media can say you are a coward, and they dare not answer their questions at the airport~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is obviously guilty. Performance. Are you really guilty?"

Zhou Yi's "arrogance" has aroused the indignation of everyone else in the group. This time even Sun Pan was on He Ying's side. Everyone laughed at Zhou Yilai, and Sun Pan seemed extremely happy and exaggerated.

"Fuck, who said? I don't understand Spanish!" Zhou Yi retorted in a mockery.

"Oh, is it? But the Spanish media also said that they later changed to English, and you didn't answer it. Do you understand English?" He Ying didn't let Zhou Yi spend time with them in this group. For a long time, his image on the Internet is much more lively than offline...

"Ahahaha!" Everyone laughed again.

In this regard, Zhou Yiyan said without change of color: "Of course I can understand English, but I really can't understand English like the Spanish with a big tongue."

For Zhou Yi's strong words, everyone can only report "hehe".

Zhou Yi, of course, thinks that they are "envying, jealous, and hating". (To be continued.) Activate new URL
