After watching the game, the constant admiration has become a compulsory course for Lin Yi every day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Eva pointed to Shibasaki, who was looking sad on the TV screen, "Are you lamenting his strength?" β
"If he comes to a club in Europe, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself. I just don't know when he'll come. β
"That's it! There's nothing to see, it's estimated that Australia will win the championship this year, and South Korea is a little worse than Australia. β
Lin Yi casually made predictions as he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
The holiday will officially end tomorrow, and the training will return to normal, Lin Yi, who has not participated in ball training for more than two months, is actually a little looking forward to it, for Lin Yi, who regards football more as a love, he will really feel very nostalgic if he hasn't played football for two months.
The elder Zola has already completed the formalities of joining in Madrid, and it seems that the cooperation with Zidane will be very pleasant.
And Zidane didn't know whether he was explicitly or implicitly saying anything to the old Zola, in short, after the old Zola talked to his daughter one day, he suddenly called Lin Yi to listen to the phone, and asked him what he thought of Real Madrid, and asked him if he had any intention of joining.
Lin refused without thinking about it, it's really not that he has any opinion of Real Madrid as a Barcelona fan, it's just that he feels that even if he wants to transfer, Real Madrid will not be the first choice, not to mention that he just told Reus, if you don't go, I won't go.
Lying on the bed, Eva pillowed Lin Yi's arm and suddenly asked, "You won't leave Dortmund, will you?" β
"At least I'm not going to leave when they don't chase me away. What's wrong? Why do you ask? β
"It's nothing, it's just that I like it here, especially the stands at West-*** Stadium, and it's fun to watch there."
"Then we'll be here all the time, okay? As long as you can play here, you won't leave. Lin Yi touched Eva's long hair.
"Okay, you're the star player of the team and the captain, why can't you play here." Eva laughed.
Lin Yi, who was finally able to train with the team normally, just like every training day he had done before, got up early, then went to the training ground a little earlier, did a very complicated and time-consuming warm-up by himself in advance, and then trained some very special content.
As the team's No. 1 free kick taker, Lin Yi, who was able to touch the ball with both feet for the first time in two months, carried a bag of soccer balls on the field, and he always had a hidden killer move, that is, his free kicks are the same as his usual shots, he can shoot left and right, no matter what the angle, he can do these to the opponent's goal, which even his teammates don't know.
Maybe at some point in the moment, I'll do it with my left foot all of a sudden, but it's definitely not a league or anything like that.
After the winter break, Jurgen Klopp was in a slightly better mood as spring approached, as the team returned to the healthy form they had at the start of the season, and there were no injuries in the whole team, even Reus and Kaka were ready to go.
What's more, Lin Yi, the captain he relied on the most this season, finally returned, giving him hope for the second half of the season.
Lin kicked the ball one by one, all of them bounced back on the post around three obstacles, and played like this for five minutes in a row, and the assistant coach Kyle, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help it, and finally shouted hello.
Lin looked back and saw that it was him, knocked the ball down, and swept it into the air to Kyle, who had been wearing more suits and leather shoes than sports equipment lately.
However, on the training ground, Kyle was still dressed in sportswear, and when he saw Lin pass the ball, he raised his foot and stopped the ball at his feet.
The movements are definitely not as coherent and good-looking as Lin Yi's, but they are also very solid and practical after all.
After unloading the ball, Kyle pushed the inside of his foot and passed the ball back to Lin Yi's feet, Lin Yi didn't stop the ball and directly twisted his foot to hit the goal, and the ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal accurately.
"Looks like the injury doesn't have much of an effect on you, lad." Kyle said in a little surprise.
"Of course, Sebastian, you don't think I'm going to have to get back into form after two months of injury, do you?"
Kyle smiled silently, but he did have this concern in his heart at first, and now it seems that this worry is really unnecessary.
Lin Yi turned a soccer ball upside down, tried not to get too far away from him, and then kept speeding up the frequency of his movements.
Kyle walked up and stretched out his foot to grab the ball, Lin Yi hooked his toes, and the football flew directly to the side away from Kyle, and then Lin Yi's supporting foot changed, and knocked the ball back with the heel of his left foot.
"Try it! See if I can still break your balls? Kyle said suddenly, immediately attacking.
didn't wait for the football to fall, just watch Lin rub his thigh, the football was unloaded to his feet, Kyle stretched out his foot to grab it, Lin Yi stepped on his left foot, and then a small bull's tail kicked the ball out between Kyle's legs, and before Kyle turned around, Lin Yi had already twisted and shook from his side and stepped on the ball at his feet.
"Hey, I'm really old, and I can't do anything about you kid."
"Say it like you had a way when you were younger?" Lin Yi touched his nose and said so.
"Yoh? Praise you for two sentences, and you are still proud! Again! See if you can get past me? β
The facts showed that Lin Yi was still capable, and in the next five minutes, Kyle saw Lin Yi's more comprehensive skills than last season.
Maybe he neglected to exercise after retiring, or maybe he simply retired because he was out of shape, but in short, five minutes later Kyle was sitting on the court, gasping for breath, "I can't kick, I can't kick." Hey, I'm getting old. β
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, "You're going to be done too quickly, brother, even if you retire and don't exercise so diligently, it won't be like this." β
Kyle waved his hand, "You, when you're my age, you'll understand, but it's not as easy as you think." β
Lin Yi stood next to Kyle and stepped on the ball, not knowing what he was thinking.
Kyle got up and went to get a bottle of water, "But you're a freak too, I've never seen anyone with such good physical training, it seems that Eva's level is indeed excellent,"
As the two of them were talking, the other teammates also came to the training ground one after another.
Kaka and Royce didn't come with Lin Yi, who came earlier than before, today because they really couldn't get up.
Watching his teammates arrive one after another, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little mixed in his heart.
Although there is one less Immobile than at the beginning of the season, everyone's mental state is obviously not as good as it was then.
Maybe you lost too much in the first half? Feeling like you can't see hope? Or is the opponent too strong?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that he should say something as the captain, and then before he could speak, Klopp arrived.
Lin Yi was a little surprised, Klopp, who has always given people a wild and uninhibited feeling, looked very sluggish today.
"Everyone's here, alright, let's get ready for training now." Klopp has even saved the usual mobilization today.
Lin Yi also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so he simply didn't ask anything, turned around and called his teammates to warm up.
Royce followed Lin Yi when he ran laps, and Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
"By the end of the first half, was JΓΌrgen so sluggish?"
"How can it be, if you just look at his state at that time, you don't know and think that we are half-way champions."
"It's strange what happened during the winter break to make him so worried."
"Who knows? Could it be that the club put some pressure on him? β
"It shouldn't be, Michelle has been partners with him for so many years, what pressure can you give him?"
Royce listened to Lin Yi's words and shook his head, "This is professional football, it's not as humane as you think." β
Lin Yi was stunned, then nodded, and continued to warm up in silence.
The training session that followed was uneventful, with the only difference being that Klopp's very wild shouts could hardly be heard.
Taking advantage of the break, Lin swayed to the side of the head coach, "Jurgen, why do you feel that your mood is not right?" β
"Is there one? Your feelings may be inaccurate, Lin. Klopp smiled deliberately when he spoke, but Lin could see at a glance how reluctant he was smiling.
Seeing that Klopp was reluctant to speak, Lin Yi had no way to continue to ask, so he could only shake his head and get up to beckon his teammates to continue training.
After a winter break, Hummels' form has finally recovered a bit, and although it is not yet at the level of the previous season, it is finally no longer a hole.
On 1 February 2015, Borussia Dortmund will play their first game of the second half against Bayer Leverkusen.
The good news is that Leverkusen's main striker Son Heung-min will be absent because of the Asian Cup, and as the sixth-ranked winger in the Bundesliga scorer list this season, Son's attacking firepower can be seen.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Leverkusen is a tiger with its teeth extracted without him, and it should not be a problem to deal with.
Lin Yi is even more energetic and ready to score a few goals, on the one hand, to strive for a half-way start to stabilize the morale of the army, and on the other hand, to announce his return and put a little pressure on Lewandowski.
After the day's training, Lin Yi took everyone to a meal together, as to make up for his regret of missing the club's Christmas dinner. To his surprise, several teammates directly rejected his invitation.
And among them, there are many Gundogans who have a very good relationship with Lin Yi, and they all politely declined his kindness.
In the end, only Kaka and Reus remained, as well as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sven Bender, as well as Subotic and Durm plus backup goalkeeper Langelk.
Lin Yi didn't think much about it, and a few people set off to go to a restaurant where they had often gone to dinner before.
A few people ate and talked about the team's situation, and in the end, Lin Yi took the initiative to mention Klopp's abnormality.
Sven Bender sighed, "Hey, when the team is doing poorly, both the media and the management like to find the reason from the coach, in fact, it's not fair at all, we are in this situation, Jurgen has done this is already very good." Far from it, everyone thinks that we have Kaka in the team and have increased it, but is that really the case? Kaka himself has told me that his current state in all aspects is not as good as before. Besides, after Sebastian retired, the pressure I faced with Ilka and Nuri in the midfield was actually very high, I used to defend at the top, Sebastian retired and I had to change my style of play, but I think I did really average, at least far worse than Sebastian did before. Not to mention the striker, no matter how good you are, Lin is from the front midfield, the newly bought people are so weak, you and Pierre have attracted almost all the defense, so many problems, all of them are piled up in front of Jurgen's eyes, how can it be so easy to solve. β
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "That's what I said, but no one except the players really understands Jurgen." What's more, I don't think a lot of players understand it either, right? β
It was supposed to be a meal with a very lively atmosphere, but while eating, the atmosphere became sad.
Bender seemed to open up the conversation today, "Although I am not very old, I have also played under Jurgen for some years, and I have been a stable main force from the small substitute when I defended the league title at the beginning, no matter what happens in the future, I can only say that I must support Jurgen." I heard that during the winter break, the club approached Jurgen, and the current meaning should be to set a target for him, as for what the goal is, I don't know, anyway, I hope we can play better in the second half of the season, and there will be no other situation. β
Lin picked up a sausage, "Of course, I can't say the game I can't play, but the game I can play, my goal has always been to win." β
After the meal, Lin Yi went home with Kaka and Royce, and Kaka drove without drinking.
The three men were silent all the way, apparently thinking about what Bender had said.
Lin Yi, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, suddenly turned his head and looked at Kaka very seriously.
"In the second half, you must come on, Kaka, otherwise ......"
Kaka nodded, he naturally understood the meaning of Lin Yi's words, he originally signed a short-term contract.
"If there is really any change in the position of coach, then we will definitely suffer quite a few seasons in the next few seasons."
Unbeknownst to Lin, Klopp and Kyle, who had rejected his invitation, were having dinner with Zolke at this time.
In addition to Zolke, there is also their boss, Watzke.
These four people can be regarded as old acquaintances and partners, and since they have known each other, it seems that they have never eaten a meal together that is so uncomfortable as today.
It doesn't take too long for any team to fall, not to mention that some situations have been foreshadowed, but they just haven't been noticed.
