Champion’s Heart

Vol 4 Chapter 121: The undeserved death group

After the game, Zhou Yi was surrounded by reporters. As the best in the game, he deserves such attention.

When asked if it was a surprise to beat Real Madrid on the road, Zhou Yi nodded: "It's a bit, we initially thought it was a good draw. But I think it's normal to win in the end, right? After all, we also have the strength in this respect. The strength gap between us and Real Madrid is not so great that they can win us as long as they are at home, and it is normal for us to win and lose each other. Our recent state is really good."

It’s not modest to say it, but he said that no one would accuse him of arrogance. They are the best players in the game, they are qualified to say so.

A reporter asked Zhou Yi to predict Dortmund's performance in the Champions League this season. Zhou Yi repeatedly shook his head: "I am not a magic stick. How can I predict this kind of thing? I can only say that we will do our best to fight in this tournament Farther away..."

"Is it farther than last season?" the reporter asked the question.

"If it's possible, why not?" Zhou Yi answered with no dripping.

"Sun Pan had a meal with you before the game. Have you ever had any communication about Real Madrid? Has he provided you with some information about Real Madrid?" Chinese journalists are most concerned about the two Chinese players. of interaction.

Zhou Yi smiled: "He helped me the most by inviting me to a meal. We still have to thank him for his generosity, haha!"

Although Zhou Yi said it was normal for Dortmund to beat Real Madrid away, but for many people, this result was quite unexpected. Everyone thinks that Mourinho’s Real Madrid is very strong. After the running-in of the previous two seasons, this season is the final time. This team has already won the King's Cup and the league championship before this, just one Champions League champion. Everyone hopes that Mourinho can repeat his glory in Inter Milan at Real Madrid.

So for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season, everyone has high hopes.

In fact, Real Madrid is indeed very strong, but I did not expect that in the strong dialogue of this group, Real Madrid lost the battle and was killed by Dortmund at home and away!

This result is what many people think of. One was that Dortmund was so powerful, and the other was that Real Madrid did not show a convincing performance at home.

It seems that this group of deaths is indeed not true, and the strengths of the four teams are not similar.

After the match, Madrid's media reported that Mourinho had suffered a crisis of confidence, saying Florentino was considering changing coaches. There are also media reports on the contradictions within Real Madrid, saying that there is constant struggle between player factions...

In short, there is nothing wrong with winning, and everything is wrong if you lose.

Leaving Real Madrid alone, Dortmund returned to Germany with the victory and the joy of qualifying from this group early.

In another group match that was going on at the same time, Manchester City were tied 2:2 by Ajax at home.

This result led to Dortmund's four wins and four points with 12 points ahead of the group, because the third-ranked Ajax had only four points, with two rounds remaining in the group stage, anyway Nor can it surpass Dortmund points. Dortmund made the advance from the death group. The "death team", which should have been inseparable to the last round, became a "journey of paradise" for Dortmund...

And not only did they qualify from the group in advance, they also got the group first in advance. With four wins and four wins, Dortmund scored twelve points, and Real Madrid scored six points with two wins and two losses. In the last two rounds of the group stage, even if Dortmund lost, Real Madrid won. The two teams have the same points, but the win-loss relationship between them. Dortmund completely suppressed Real Madrid and won the two games against Real Madrid. With this win-loss relationship, even if the two teams have the same score, Dortmund will also rank In front of Real Madrid.

So this also means that no matter what the last two rounds are, Dortmund will be the first in this group.

In the next two UEFA Champions League group matches, Klopp can not put too much emphasis on it, but put all his energy in the domestic league, trying to catch up with Bayern Munich with nine wins and one loss in ten leagues.

Thanks to Leverkusen, they gave Bayern Munich the only defeat so far this season.

This has somewhat affected Bayern Munich's pace on the road to winning the championship.

Now after ten rounds of the league, they have nine wins and one loss with 27 points, and Dortmund have seven wins, two draws and one loss with 23 points.

The gap of four points is not an insurmountable chasm.

In the Champions League group stage, two rounds ahead of the qualifying, which helped Dortmund a lot. If they are going to fight with the other three opponents in the death round to the final round, then they may have to give up some games, the mentality of the team players will also change, they will definitely care more about qualifying for the Champions League than The outcome of a match in the league.

On the afternoon of November 10, Dortmund challenged Augsburg away.

In this game, Klopp rotated the lineup. He replaced some of the main starting players who died in midweek with Real Madrid, but Zhou Yi was not rotated.

He still went away and helped the team beat Augsburg 3-1.

He was replaced by Klopp in the 66th minute and completed an assist in the game.

The following days would have been a severe test for Zhou Yi.

Because he has to travel tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth in a week.

After playing the game with Augsburg, the next day he set off from Germany with Yang Muge and rushed back to China to participate in the Asian World Cup qualifiers for the Chinese team at Qatar on November 14.

After playing this game, we must set off for the first time to fly back to Germany to participate in the Bundesliga at Dortmund vs. Fürth on November 17.

Within a week, he moved to three places, formed more than 10,000 kilometers, and played three high-level games. This is a severe test for the physiology of any player.

But now, Zhou Yi doesn't have to go through this kind of toss, and Klopp doesn't have to worry about losing his core core that can't be lost.

Because before that, the Chinese team had informed the Dortmund club that the Chinese national team would not call on Zhou Yi to participate in the World Cup qualifier against Qatar at home.

The same notice, the Chinese team also sent to the Schalke 04 club, Atletico Madrid club, Siena club.

They all told them that they would not call on the Chinese nationals in the team to participate in the game against Qatar.

This makes these clubs relieved, but at the same time they also have some doubts-how can the Chinese team be so reasonable this time?

Everyone is engaged in football. They have also contacted the Chinese team and the Chinese Football Association before. Naturally know how important the World Cup qualifying is for this country.

The clubs were all prepared to lose the main players, but they couldn’t help but complain about this stupid schedule-after all, the world did not arrange a national team game except the Asian region at this time, and the European League was not necessary. In order to make way for the national team game, it is carried out normally. The club team didn't even consider being affected by the national team's game at this time.

Only in Asia, such a World Cup qualifier was arranged on a day that is not an international A-level event. Who can accept the European club?

These people are the main players of their team. Who wants to hurt their starting lineup? Moreover, this delay is not a matter of a game. The continuous long-distance running in such a short time has a great impact on the player's physical fitness and state. After all, there is still a time difference.

In fact, European clubs don't quite understand the Chinese team's recruiting of these players. They don't even have time to prepare for it. What's the point of playing such a game? If the players haven't played the jet lag yet, what can they do in the game? Even if they are not injured, they will complete the mission...

But now it is good~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Chinese team announced that it will not recruit the four overseas players Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Yang Muge and Guo Nu to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

This worry no longer exists, but the clubs are starting to wonder why the Chinese team is not recruiting anymore-they can’t understand the recruiting players, and they still can’t understand it if they don’t recruit the players...

He Ying is the only player called back to participate in the national team game. He even returned to China one week in advance to prepare for the game.

Because in Barcelona, ​​he still can't play the game. Since he can't play, where else do he stay? He simply applied to return to China to prepare for the national team game in advance. Barcelona was reasonable, or he didn't pay much attention to He Ying at all, and he agreed as soon as he applied.

He Ying can't play in Barcelona right now, but his mentality is quite good, he will not feel anxious and angry for this.

In Barcelona he concentrated on training, leaving the state to the national team game.

As for the future? Wait until January next year to decide. (To be continued.)
