Champion’s Heart

After the league, everyone's eyes naturally locked in the Champions League.

The situation is now that the Bundesliga is over, but the last round of La Liga is left, and Real Madrid has missed the league title. So in fact, they can also put all their energy into the preparation for the Champions League final.

The protagonists of the last round of La Liga are Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

The two teams are currently ranked in the top two leagues, and the final round of the league is a direct dialogue between the two teams.

Barcelona will play Atletico Madrid at home.

As long as Atletico Madrid does not lose to Barcelona, ​​they will win the league title.

For those teams that do not participate in the Champions League final, after playing the last round of the league, they can take a holiday.

But because of the World Cup this summer, players who want to participate in the World Cup can't rest. They have to go directly to the national team to report from the club to participate in the final training.

This year’s World Cup started on June 12, and the major European leagues basically ended in mid-May, leaving the national teams less than a month to prepare for the World Cup.

The earliest end of the Bundesliga and the Premier League ended the final round of the league on May 10 and 11.

For the Chinese team, Yang Muge, who played for Schalke 04, has left Germany, returned to China, and reported to the national team.

However, Zhou Yi and Yan Min, because Dortmund reached the final of the Champions League, the earliest to wait until May 25 before returning to the national team.

For the Chinese team, this is not good news.

When the absolute core of the team returns to the team, it is only twenty days from the start of the World Cup, which will have a very negative impact on the preparation of the entire Chinese team.

Yang Muge is the first international player to return to the team.

Next came back to China is Chelsea goalkeeper Sun Pan.

The Premier League ended one day later than the Bundesliga. Chelsea defeated Cardiff City 2-0 away. This season's Chelsea failed to win the league title, but they eventually ranked third in the league and still qualified for the Champions League next season.

A week later, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A were over.

In La Liga, Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 away from Atletico Madrid and won the league title.

In the Serie A league, Guo Nu's Inter Milan lost to Chievo 1:2, and finally only won the league fifth, qualifying for the UEFA Cup, or missed the Champions League.

Unless Guo Nu transfers to a team that can play in the Champions League, next season Guo Nu will be the only Chinese overseas player who has not participated in the Champions League.

The last round of Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain beat Montpellier 4-0 at home. This season, Paris Saint-Germain won the league title in advance, and they ended up leading Monaco by as much as nine points.

He Ying also won the Ligue 1 championship for two consecutive seasons, but this season is his first full season in Paris Saint-Germain.

This season he scored 15 goals in the Ligue 1 league, and he ranked seventh in the Ligue 1 scorer list. The Ligue 1 Golden Boot belongs to He Ying's teammate Ibrahimovic, who scored 26 goals, far ahead of others.

As many as five in the second place, they tied for second and all scored 16 goals. They are Carau in Lille, Yardre in Toulouse, Abu Bacar in Lorient, Cavani in Paris Saint-Germain, and Zignac in Marseille.

He Ying and Lyon Lacazette scored 15 goals together, tied for third.

Although he didn’t get the golden boot, He Ying still scored 15 goals with the two scoring weapons Ibrahimovic and Cavani. The performance was already very good. It was the season where he scored the most goals in the top league.

He also scored four goals in the Champions League, making him the second scorer in the Champions League in Paris Saint-Germain, second only to Ibrahimovic.

This performance will help to improve his position in the team, I believe he will play a more important role in Paris Saint-Germain next season.

After He Ying and Guo Nu returned to the team, the Chinese national team basically assembled, only Zhou Yi and Yan Min.

Most of the attention of Chinese fans has also shifted to the national team.

The Champions League final is of course very important, but Zhou Yi has already won it, and the difficulty of defending the Champions League is too great, and everyone has little hope.

The World Cup is more important than the Champions League.

The last time the Chinese team participated in the World Cup was twelve years ago.

As the world's football event, the World Cup is certainly more worthy of attention than the Champions League.

According to the announced preparation plan, the Chinese team's training is divided into three parts. The first part is the domestic training part. This part is mainly attended by players who play in the country, and it has started before the European League has ended. In order to prepare for the national team to make way, the domestic league has been temporarily suspended. Zheng Zhi, who had returned to the national team very loudly this time, also got his wish to enter the training list. Of course, in the end, it is really necessary to take him to Brazil. .

Next, on May 15th, the domestic national team players will set off for Europe for training.

Why choose to train in Europe? On the one hand, it is to take care of the foreign players participating in European leagues in Europe. On the other hand, it is also convenient to arrange warm-up matches. In Europe, they have two warm-up matches to play. There is another reason to consider from the distance. Anyway, going to Brazil from China is also a transit in Europe. Therefore, when training in Europe, when flying to Brazil, you can fly less distance, save time and reduce Chinese players. Loss of energy and energy on the journey.

The third part is naturally to go to Brazil for training, where they still have a warm-up match waiting for them, and then training until the World Cup begins.

Zhou Yi and Yan Min will go directly to Spain to join the national team after the Champions League final to participate in the national team training.

This summer will be very busy for Zhou Yi.

Only after the World Cup will there be a break.

If the Chinese team enters the knockout stage, Zhou Yi and Yan Min will almost certainly miss Dortmund's training in the new season.

※※※

Dortmund has been preparing for the Champions League final since May 12.

For Zhou Yi, in addition to preparing for the Champions League final, he has one more thing to participate in.

That is to shoot a documentary film featuring him.

This project was actually proposed a year ago. At that time, he led Dortmund to win the Champions League. After that, in China, a company contacted Zhou Yi's agent Shultze through various channels and proposed to him. The intention of shooting a documentary related to Zhou Yi.

Shultzer is very interested in this proposal. After all, it is possible to make Zhou Yi appear on the big screen, which is also very helpful for the improvement of Zhou Yi's personal image.

But at the time, it was just an intention. Looking for the company of Zhou Yi, there was nothing but the intention. They hoped to get Zhou Yi's authorization and consent before they could carry out follow-up work.

Zhou Yi did not object to the shooting of the documentary, but he had his own affairs to be busy, so he left it to Shultzer to do it.

Later, Zhou Yi saw each other several times, and each time the other party brought different people.

Some are said to be investors, and some are said to be directors.

I met in Germany a few times, and the two sides negotiated for many times, and there were disputes and disputes. During the period, I repeated several times. When Zhou Yidu could not remember this, Shultzer told him one day that this Things were finally settled.

It is said that this is an international team, not only the Chinese side, but also the British and German teams.

This is what Schulze requested. In the beginning, companies in China just wanted to make a documentary and then broadcast it in China. But Schultzer felt it was a pity if it was only broadcast in China. He hoped to be able to release it globally. Of course, it was still mainly China, but the internationalization of the team was inevitable.

At the same time, this documentary also records Zhou Yi's performance in the World Cup, which requires the approval of the Chinese Football Association to be able to follow the Chinese team in the World Cup as a team photography team. From the beginning of training, it has been shot to the World Cup.

At the same time, they will also be allowed to enter the locker room of the Chinese team to shoot the unknown pictures and stories inside the team.

Negotiations with the Chinese Football Association are very difficult. After all, there has never been such a thing in the history of Chinese football.

Even in the history of Chinese sports, it is a precedent.

The producer used various public and private relationships to come up with excellent sports documentaries in European and American sports history to convince the Chinese Football Association.

For example, in the 2006 German World Cup, the German national team's documentary "A Summer Fairy Tale".

In the end, the producer promised to shoot a documentary film for the Chinese national team for free during the World Cup, which made him eligible for shooting.

At that time, they will participate in various stages of training with the team~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The team coaching staff, locker room, dormitory, hotel will turn on the green light to them. At the same time, the filming team must also promise not to disclose the content of the film privately. All filming activities must be carried out without disturbing or affecting the team’s preparations. If the coaching staff does not allow the filming, it cannot be filmed.

Originally I just wanted to shoot a documentary about Zhou Yi, but now it has changed from one documentary to two documentaries. The manpower needs to be increased, and the time and money investment is far beyond the original expectations. I have to introduce more companies to participate.

For these reasons, preparations are much longer than previously expected.

Fortunately, the final documentary can be filmed before the World Cup.

The film crew responsible for the part of the national team has entered the training base of the Chinese national team in China and started shooting.

The film crew responsible for Zhou Yi rushed to Germany. On the one hand, Zhou Yi was preparing for the Champions League final. On the other hand, they also had a task-they will reveal the secrets of Zhou Yi’s magical performance on the court to the world in a documentary. .
