Champion’s Heart

Vol 5 Chapter 331: UEFA Champions League Final Preview

Once again, Zhou Yi was surrounded by Chinese reporters after finishing his training. Although the Champions League final was just around the corner, the Chinese reporters were obviously not concerned about the Champions League final.

This time, Zhou Yi pulled Yan Min behind him and told him to shut up and stop talking.

Lest he accidentally say what he shouldn't say, and then get hyped by the media.

At this time, it is best to keep the team calm.

Zhou Yilai is the spokesperson.

"I also just heard about this news. I don’t have any opinion on the high guidance and Lippi. The most important thing now is not this, but whether the team’s preparation work can be carried out smoothly. Everything is in the interests of the team. It is good to allow the team to successfully prepare for the World Cup opening."

Zhou Yiyi said seriously.

The reporters certainly won't give up, and they asked: "Do you think Lippi will be the coach than Gao Hongbo, the Chinese team has a brighter prospect in the World Cup?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I never predict the future."

This is nonsense with his eyes open. He has never predicted the future before, otherwise how could he have the nickname "Wizard"? Isn't it just to predict that Barrios will score a goal and become famous in one battle?

But even if everyone knows that Zhou Yi is talking nonsense, but they take such a nonsense Zhou Yi, there is no way... because Zhou Yi's temper everyone knows that no one he wants to say can't force him to say, he wants to say No one can stop him. Everything depends on whether he wants or not, to put it plainly, depending on his mood.

So a reporter asked from another direction: "There are rumors that Gao Hongbo has some hidden feelings after class, not resigning but being forced to resign, may I ask..."

Zhou Yi spread his hands and looked innocent: "I am not the client, I am not on the scene, how do I know what the inside story is. Shouldn't you ask the client about this? Why ask me?"

The reporter who asked Zhou Yi in a sentence opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Yeah, Zhou Yi is not on the scene, how could he know the truth of those rumors?

Facing the reporter, Zhou Yi finally said: "I hope to see the national team's coaching change smoothly and prepare for the training can return to normal. This is my wish. Then the more important thing for me now is the Champions League final, after all, the distance It's not been two days since the final... I will go to the national team after the final, and then we will discuss the national team."

He directly blocked all the reporters who followed.

It is true that everyone has been involved in the national team's news during this time, and almost forgot that the Champions League final is close...

Perhaps Klopp did not want to see Chinese reporters at this time. The Champions League final is already imminent. These Chinese reporters will come to disturb Zhou Yi and Yan Min...

※※※

The Champions League final is indeed imminent. One day later, the whole team of Dortmund left Dortmund by plane and set off for Lisbon, Portugal, where the Champions League final was held, where they will have the last two days to adapt to the venue and adjust their status. Madrid.

In recent years Dortmund and Real Madrid have faced each other.

After returning to the Champions League in seven years, they met Real Madrid in the knockout stage.

At the time, Dortmund and Zhou Yi were both slightly immature, facing Mourinho's Real Madrid, they played very passive. The first round lost 1:4 away. Zhou Yi scored the only goal for Dortmund.

In the second round, he returned home and scored a 1:1 draw with Real Madrid. Zhou Yi dedicated one assist.

In the end, the overall score of 2:5 was eliminated.

This is Zhou Yi's first UEFA Champions League experience. His result is the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Although only reached the quarterfinals, but accumulated experience for Zhou Yi in the Champions League, Zhou Yi knows what the Champions League game looks like.

The following season, he and Dortmund went one step further and reached the semifinals. And after a hard fight, they eliminated Barcelona, ​​but in the semifinals they lost to the Champions League champion Chelsea.

Zhou Yi's third Champions League season created a miracle-he helped Dortmund to win the Champions League!

And this season, he and Dortmund and Real Madrid actually confronted four times...

In the group stage, they were divided into a group with Real Madrid. The group claimed to be the deadliest group after 1999.

Indeed enough to "death", Premier League champions Manchester City have been eliminated.

In the group stage, Dortmund first defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home and Zhou Yi dedicated two assists.

Then they beat Real Madrid 3:2 away, Zhou Yi had one goal and one assist.

The two victories against Real Madrid helped Dortmund to stand out as the first group in the death group.

Then the two teams met again in the semifinals.

In the first round, Dortmund defeated Real Madrid 4:1 at home, Lewandowski staged a senior fourth, and Zhou Yi scored twice.

It was like a revenge of 1:4 two years ago.

Although Dortmund lost to Real Madrid 1-2 away in the second round, they still eliminated Real Madrid with a total score of 5:3, advanced to the final, and Bayern Munich joined the new Wembley Stadium.

As everyone knows the final story, Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League final of the "German National Derby" and won the Champions League trophy for the second time in history.

There is no need to look at the record of confrontation that is too long in the past, and it has no reference value.

But the frequent confrontation between the two sides in recent years has been able to illustrate some issues.

From the record of confrontation in recent years, it is obvious that Dortmund is dominant.

The two teams played a total of six times, Dortmund three wins, one draw and two losses.

Especially last season, Dortmund met Real Madrid four times, double-played the opponent in the group stage, eliminated the opponent in the semi-finals, and some media said "It is not the German team that is Real Madrid’s nemesis, but Dortmund is Real Madrid’s nemesis." .

This season, Real Madrid broke two Bundesliga teams in one breath, especially the elimination of Bayern Munich, and it was a hearty fight.

For a time, the curse of "Real Madrid cannot beat the German team on the road" has been completely shattered.

This also made them encounter Dortmund in the Champions League final, a little more confidence and confidence.

But in comparison, Dortmund is more confident and confident.

The current situation is that the supporters of both sides feel that they have more confidence and confidence in facing each other and have a psychological advantage.

But the situation is not so simple.

First of all, Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo is injured. In the 34th round of La Liga on May 7th, the Portuguese left the game with only nine minutes of injury, and then he missed the last two rounds of the league.

However, everyone believes that Cristiano Ronaldo can definitely participate in the Champions League final, and he is absolutely eager to help Real Madrid win the championship.

Ronaldo currently leads the UEFA Champions League shooter list with sixteen goals. The second and third places are Ibrahimovic and Messi and Diego Costa, scoring ten goals and eight goals respectively. However, none of these three players have played, so in fact Cristiano Ronaldo has already won the Champions League golden boots in advance. He still maintains the highest number of goals in a single season in the Champions League. As long as there are goals in the finals, he will continue to rewrite the record .wuxiaspot.com~ At the same time, Real Madrid also has a hidden danger that their midfield commander Xavi Alonso will miss the Champions League final because he received a yellow card in the semi-finals and was automatically suspended for one. Field, which just made him miss the Champions League final.

This is a tragedy for Xavi Alonso. For Real Madrid, it is a huge hidden danger.

Xavi Alonso's importance to Real Madrid is self-evident. He is the team's commander, commander and engine.

Without him, the strength of Real Madrid's midfielder will inevitably be damaged. In the competition with Dortmund midfielder led by Zhou Yi, I don't know what will happen...

Dortmund's back line will be the most concerned place, because until now, Subotic has not come back, they can only use the residual lineup to deal with Real Madrid's forward line.

And Real Madrid's attacking power is the strongest in the Champions League this season, so far they have scored 37 goals. With such a strong offensive firepower, can Dortmund's back line withstand?
