Chapter 433: The First Group
Reuss' transfer success is a big deal for Borussia Dortmund fans and a big deal in the Bundesliga winter break transfer news, but it's more common in the European transfer market as a whole. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the impact on Dortmund's internal team, it is basically minimal at the moment.
It's just Grosskloitz, who has been teammates in Red and White Allen and Royce, and he's excited.
Others have their own things and problems to solve in addition to training.
For example, Shinji Kagawa.
He was a little annoyed during the winter break because his contract renewal negotiations with the club were not going very well.
The two sides have always been at odds on the issue of annual salary.
How bad are the negotiations?
In January 2011, Borussia Dortmund planned to renew the contract with Shinji Kagawa.
As a result, a year has passed, and the contract renewal has not been completed, which shows how big the differences between the two sides are......
In addition, Lewandowski's contract extension negotiations are also underway.
Since the departure of Barrios and the injury to Mark Wagner, Lewandowski has become Dortmund's only scorer to count on up front.
Of course, he didn't disappoint the team either. He made 16 starts in the first half of the season, scored 10 goals and was the team's top scorer.
After the importance became apparent, Dortmund also began to renew his contract.
The contract extension will significantly boost Lewandowski's salary package.
But it is not known whether this will satisfy the in-form Lewandowski......
As for Zhou Yi......
Neither the transfer nor the renewal of his contract has anything to do with him, no matter what happens this summer, but at least during the winter break, he is unlikely to leave Dortmund. In terms of contract, he has just completed a contract extension with the club, and his salary has risen to three million euros, and the club is unlikely to start a new round of contract renewal negotiations with him immediately, unless the club really has too much money to spend......
In addition to completing the normal training in the team's training camp, he is also continuing his physical training to strengthen his physical fitness, further improve his running ability and expand his range of activities.
As a midfield playmaker, it is not enough to be able to see far and pass far, but also to be able to run far, to be able to appear anywhere on the pitch in time for 90 minutes of play, which requires physical support that cannot be dying.
Don't look at Zhou Yi's development from his debut to the present, it seems that his development is quite smooth - his vision is very good, his short passes are accurate, and after such a long time of hard training, he has also improved significantly, and he is still training his dribbling and breakthroughs. Ahead seems to be the sea and the sky, let him fly and gallop, his future is limitless.
But in fact, Zhou Yi himself had a sense of crisis in his heart.
Although he didn't hit any rookie wall, he seemed to have hit a bottleneck.
This bottleneck is physical fitness, because Zhou Yi himself is not the kind of player who can't run, so his physical fitness is not too good. With plenty of fitness, he can play well. However, with the retirement of game time, the number of dangerous balls he delivered in the final stages of the game decreased significantly, and he used his passing more often on the pitch to control the tempo than to attack.
In this way, if you need to fight back at the last moment, Zhou Yi will be powerless.
Of course, this is not too much of a problem, after all, there are so many professional players, and not everyone can keep their physical condition energetic from the first minute to the end of the game. After all, such people are in the minority.
So if Zhou Yi is satisfied with the status quo, he can continue to be the core of Dortmund and be a first-class player in the Bundesliga. Anyway, the mix will not be too bad, and it will continue to be a well-deserved core in the Chinese national team.
But Zhou Yi is an ambitious person, and he will not be willing to maintain his current level.
In order to make a breakthrough, he must continue to improve himself.
Physical fitness is the foundation of modern football, although Zhou Yi's current physical fitness is much better than when he first debuted, but it is still a little far from the goal in Zhou Yi's own heart...... He wants to be able to charge from the back to the front to participate in the attack, whether it is to deliver a lethal assist or score himself, even if it is 120 minutes, there is no pressure.

After fifteen days of training in Mallorca and three warm-up games, the entire Dortmund squad returned to Germany for final preparations for the second half of the league season.
In the eighteenth round of the league, the first teams to appear were Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Bayern Munich travels to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
As a result, Bayern Munich lost 1:3 away to Borussia Mönchengladbach!
During the winter break, Reuss, who officially announced his move to Borussia Dortmund in the summer, opened the scoring for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 11th minute of the game.
In the 71st minute, he set up team-mate Hermann to score Borussia Mönchengladbach's third goal of the game.
Bayern Munich only scored a face-saving goal in the 76th minute through "Piggy" Schweinsteiger.
Duan Xin, the commentator in the game, also joked: "This must be Royce's vote for the new club!"
The next day, Schalke 04 hosted Stuttgart, and Yang Muge, who trained with the team during the winter break, appeared in the starting line for the fourth consecutive league game and helped Schalke 04 defeat Stuttgart 3:1 at home.
A day later, Borussia Dortmund travelled to Hamburg.
Zhou Yi used two assists to help the team win 5-1 away from Hamburg.
Borussia Dortmund are now four points ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings.
In the 19th round of the league, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Schalke 04, as well as Borussia Mönchengladbach, all defeated their respective opponents.
The top four teams in the league all won and remained unchanged.
Borussia Dortmund is first with 44 points, Bayern Munich is second with 40 points, and Schalke 04 has also caught up with a wave of consecutive wins, with 40 points, but is third on goal difference. And Reus's Borussia Mönchengladbach can be said to be a dark horse this season, they are fourth with 39 points.
These four teams can be considered the first group, as they are all close to each other in terms of points, and each has a chance to overtake their opponents.
The gap between fifth-place Werder Bremen and the top four is a bit wider. Werder Bremen currently have 31 points, a full eight points behind Borussia Mönchengladbach.
But next, Schalke 04 will lose their main defender Yang Muge. Because Yang Muge is going to participate in the Olympic qualifiers, the Chinese Olympic team will challenge the Qatar Olympic team away.
Yang Muge also participated in the Olympic qualifiers before, but at that time Yang Muge was only a fringe player in the Schalke 04 first team, he was not there, and it had no impact on the team, and Stevens never felt that there was anything to do with it.
But now it's a different story.
Yang Muge is the main midfielder of Schalke 04, although watching the game, you won't feel how dazzling he is, most of the time he seems to be invisible. But Stevens knows very well that the presence of Yang Muge has indeed improved the team's defense. This can be seen from the goals conceded by Schalke 04 in recent games.
In the first fifteen league games without Yang Muge, Schalke 04 conceded twenty goals, an average of 1.43 goals per game. In the five games that Yang Muge played, Schalke 04 only conceded four goals, with an average of 0.8 goals per game.
The numbers don't lie, although Yang Muge is not a player on the pitch that the broadcast camera likes to pay attention to, but the improvement he brought to Schalke 04 is real.

After the match against Cologne, Yang Muge left Schalke 04 and flew to Qatar, where he will join his teammates, while Sun Pan, He Ying and Guo Nu will also join the team there to prepare for the group stage in a few days.
This game is very difficult for the Chinese Olympic team, because this is people's home stadium, and everyone knows the home advantage of West Asia.
In the end, the national Olympic team drew 2:2 with Qatar away.
In the game, the Qatar Olympic team scored the first goal and took the lead.
In the first half, the Chinese team equalized by He Ying.
In the 75th minute, He Ying scored twice to take the lead for the Chinese Olympic team.
At that time, Chinese fans thought that this game could be won, but who knew that in the last 86th minute, the referee on duty awarded Qatar a penalty!
At the critical moment, the home advantage was really vividly played.
In the end, Qatar relied on this penalty to draw 2:2 with the Chinese Olympic team at home.
failed to win Qatar, which made many Chinese fans sweat for the national Olympic team.
But God is fair – the Chinese team suffered unfair treatment in the match against Qatar, and the luck was so bad that the good luck made up for them in the match between South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
The South Korean Olympic team was forced to draw 1:1 by the Saudi Arabian Olympic team away!
Everyone is drawn, and the two sides are still one point apart.
Next, as long as the Chinese team defeats the South Korean team at home, they can overtake them and become the first team in the group, taking their fate into their own hands.
And the game will start on February 22.
Fortunately, none of the teams played for the Four Dragons participated in the Champions League, otherwise it would be hard to say whether the club would let go of people at that time...... Because it was the second matchday of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals......
