Chapter 242: The Nationals

In fact, about Zhou Yi's entry into the national team, since Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the first game, it has set off a discussion in the Chinese media. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Not everyone supports Zhou Yi to enter the national team, everything is controversial, and it is impossible to win everyone's approval.

Those who agree believe that Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in Dortmund proves his ability, such a good player deserves to enter the national team, and Gao Hongbo's national team is already famous for its love of young people, isn't it logical to select Zhou Yi into the national team?

Opponents believe that Zhou Yicai played a professional game at Dortmund, and he also came off the bench, and although his performance was good, there was also an element of chance. A performance in one game doesn't say anything, and it's too early and too hasty to say that he should be recruited for the national team now.

In fact, what the opponents say is quite reasonable, and it is indeed too arbitrary to say that Zhou Yi should be selected for the national team based on the dozens of minutes of games he played as a substitute.

But then, Zhou Yi played, and changed from a substitute to a starter, and his performance was as good and stable as ever.

The voices of opposition are also getting smaller and smaller, because they also feel that their reasons are not convincing.

When Zhou Yi played three games, it happened that Gao Hongbo's national team was in trouble in the Asian Cup qualifiers, so the call for Gao Hongbo to recruit Zhou Yi into the national team began to rise again.

However, the Chinese Football Association did not express any opinion on such a voice, but Gao Hongbo was blocked by reporters to ask questions about Zhou Yi during the interview, and he said that he was concerned about Zhou Yi's performance in Dortmund and would consider it as appropriate. But it didn't say whether or when to recruit.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi's entry into the national team came so suddenly......

When they didn't expect it, suddenly, they found out that Zhou Yi was already a member of the national team's training list!

Although it is not yet known whether he will be able to finally represent the Chinese team...... But the training list is in, isn't it a matter of time before the competition is made?

What excites Chinese fans is that the addition of Zhou Yi is very urgently needed for the national team in front of them.

Although the Chinese team's frontcourt offense is much better than before, and it has played a technical flow, it still lacks a strong offensive organizer and scoring means.

Zhou Yi is not a scorer, but he is a very good playmaker, as he has proven at Borussia Dortmund, with four appearances so far, three starts and one substitute, four assists and one goal.

Such a performance naturally deserves more hope from everyone.

Zhou Yi entered the national team, which also made fans who were originally a little disappointed in Chinese football also refocus on the Chinese national team.

Domestically, the composition of fans is complex. There are fans who only watch the ball and don't play it, there are fans who only play the ball but don't watch it much, and there are fans who watch the ball and play it. At the same time, among the fans who watch the game, they only watch the European League and international competitions, such as the World Cup and the European Cup, and there are fans who only watch the World Cup and the European Cup, but do not watch the European League at all. In addition, there are also some fans who are die-hard fans of the domestic league and also watch the games of the Chinese national team, and the number of these people is relatively small.

Zhou Yi made his debut in Dortmund and performed well, attracting the attention of many Chinese fans, not all Chinese fans care about and support the Chinese national team. If there was no Zhou Yi, they would just be looking at the Europa League.

But because of Zhou Yi, their eyes also turned to the national team.

This is what a lot of people have discovered - me, how can I ...... this national team I don't know anyone anymore?!

In addition to the fact that these people are old, the memory of the national team is still stuck in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan eight years ago. It is also related to Gao Hongbo's reuse of young people.

Gao Jiajun has many players who have not been selected for the national team before. In his first batch of 31 national team training lists, more than one-third of the new international players were selected for the national team, some players were not even the main players in the club, and there were players in the lower leagues like Yu Hanchao.

So it's normal for his national team list to feel unfamiliar. Not to mention those who haven't followed the national team for eight years, even fans who have been following the national team will feel a little confused.

However, after more than half a year, they have gradually become accustomed to such a national team coach who dares to use young people, but can completely not sell the face of the old players.

After Zhou Yi was selected for the national team, the excited Fang Shuai published an article written by himself in the post bar.

The article gives you an analysis of Zhou Yi's future in the national team.

As a senior fan of Chinese football, Fang Shuai is naturally very clear about the bullshit of the national team before. But this time he was optimistic.

Because he believes that the anti-crime and anti-evil in the general environment has the effect of deterring some people who want to use their brains. In the past, the national team was chaotic because it was chaotic from the top level of the Football Association.

But now, all those corrupt senior officials of the Football Association have been arrested, not to mention what the results will be, at least the atmosphere in the national team will be much better, and there will be fewer related households that rely on money stuffed in.

In terms of small environment, Gao Hongbo's national team reuses young people, but does not like to use veterans, and the former captain of the national team, Li Weifeng, has not been selected for the national team since Gao Hongbo took office. Another veteran, Zheng Zhi, played in Gao Hongbo's first few games, but his position was very embarrassing. In the last few games, I didn't even enter the training camp.

In the past, the deepest impression of the Chinese national team was that in addition to the failures, there were many factions in the team, such as the Dalian gang and the ******, the northern faction and the southern faction, and everyone formed an intricate and opposing factional relationship based on their club and place of origin.

The legends between various big brothers and little brothers are talked about in the mouths of Chinese fans.

If a newcomer wants to enter the national team, if you don't worship a mountain and recognize a big brother, then don't want to mix up in the national team, and if you don't pretend to make mistakes in training, you will be very conscientious.

But now, it can be said that Gao Hongbo's national team is the most faction-free and mountain-free national team in history.

Because everyone is basically a newcomer to the national team for the first time, or a marginal figure in the previous national teams.

They haven't had time to make any of the mountains out there.

The atmosphere in the national team is the most relaxed for Zhou Yi, he doesn't need to be the younger brother of any big brother, and he doesn't need to mix with the previous dirty factional struggles, he just needs to play well.

Therefore, Fang Shuai believes that now is the best period for Zhou Yi to join the national team. This is true both from a technical and tactical point of view and from a dressing room political point of view.

He is very optimistic and optimistic about Zhou Yi's prospects in the national team.

Although the reporters wanted to be able to interview Zhou Yi, no one knew what flight Zhou Yi took to Shanghai to meet the team, so in the end, everyone could only take pictures of Zhou Yi and Gao Hongbo shaking hands outside the training ground of the Chinese team.

At this time, Zhou Yi had already changed into the training uniform of the national team, and he looked no different from the players of the other national teams, but his figure was still slightly thin among his teammates. Standing in a large group of teammates, it is not very prominent. If you only look at his current appearance, it is easy to mistake this for a student in school, not like a teenage genius who can make waves in the Bundesliga.

In fact, not only the reporters on the sidelines have this feeling, but even Zhou Yi's new teammates in the national team are looking at Zhou Yi with slightly puzzled eyes - how does this look like a student baby, how did he become a new star in the Bundesliga who has recently become red and purple?

Gao Hongbo's Chinese national team reuses young people, and also reuses players from the domestic league - of course, the latter is because there are almost no Chinese foreign players who are now mixed, and Zhou Yi is the only seedling.

Zhou Yi is the only player in the current team to stay abroad, coupled with his legendary experience, in the eyes of his teammates, he seems to have another layer of mystery.

This skinny little kid is really ...... Is it that powerful?

Zhou Yi's game has also been followed by people in the national team, but the feeling of being through the TV screen may be different from experiencing it in person.

Chinese reporters on the sidelines also worried about whether Zhou Yi would be able to adapt to the slightly slower-paced style of Chinese football after getting used to Borussia Dortmund's fast-paced football.

Everyone looked at him with huge question marks in their heads.

Even though he has achieved initial success in the Bundesliga, he is still unknown in the eyes of many.

After the training began, both the reporters on the sidelines and the players on the field looked at Zhou Yi with wide eyes, wanting to see what he was capable of.

After watching the reporters outside the field for more than ten minutes, new doubts arose in their minds - Zhou Yi's performance in training was still good, and there was no problem with receiving and passing the ball, and it could even be said that it was very smooth.

But it went so smoothly that the reporters felt that it was wrong.

They imagined that Zhou Yi came back from Germany, a developed country in football, with the current advanced football concept, not to mention how his personal strength compares with the strength of these players in the national team, just talk about the understanding of football, he should be completely different from the international players who have only received training in China, because Zhou Yi has not received Chinese football training in China before, so it is a blank slate, and he directly became a professional player in Germany.

Just to say the simplest example, the Bundesliga is definitely faster than the Chinese Super League, and Dortmund's rhythm is faster than the average pace of the Bundesliga, so Zhou Yi, who has been training with Dortmund, must also be accustomed to the fast-paced style of play, and he will definitely not be able to adapt to the slow style of play of the national team.

In the imagination of the reporters, Zhou Yi's first training session must have gone very badly, and he and his teammates should have all kinds of mistakes.

But they didn't see what they imagined.

Zhou Yi and his teammates cooperate normally in training, and there is no difference.

Is it that the level of the national team is too high, and it can already be directly and seamlessly connected to European football?

None of the journalists believed in this reason.

Could it be that Zhou Yi's level is not as high as we think?

This is also not true.

Everyone is professional, and after watching half an hour of training, it can still be seen that it makes sense for Zhou Yi to play as a starter in Dortmund.

His strengths lie in passing and finding openings.

In this regard, Zhou Yi did a good job in training.

So why did he fit into this team so smoothly?

Isn't he the first time he has been selected for the national team? This is not at all the performance of a newcomer who has been selected for the national team for the first time!

Although Zhou Yi's first training performance of the national team was not bad, the question marks in the minds of reporters have not been eliminated at all.
