Chapter 277: A Seamless New Season
Barrios, who had been hovering in the middle line, saw Shahin looking up for him and picking up his left foot at the same time, so he thought that Shahin was going to make a long pass directly to him this time, so he first moved sideways along the middle line, and then suddenly changed direction to the folded line and ran to the front!
At this time, he turned around to watch football, but saw Zhou Yi's long pass. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He was startled - why did the football go to Zhou Yi's feet again?
If it weren't for the fact that he had just started and it wouldn't have been easy to brake hard, Barrios would have wanted to stop directly, because he knew it meant that he would have to run for nothing again......
Zhou Yi is not good at long passes, which does not have to wait for this game, in the previous team's training, Barrios was very clear.
But the running has started to run, and it's not good to give up halfway.
Barrios didn't slow down, but ran towards the goal he had set out to set in the first place.
Behind him, the ball was in the air, spinning and flying towards him.
Approaching Barrios, the ball fell and landed not far in front of Barrios.
Barrios didn't expect the ball to land so well, he accelerated a little, and stopped the ball as soon as he raised his foot!
After stopping the ball, Barrios looked up and found himself not far from Freiburg's goal, and in front of him there was only a Freiburg centre-back and a goalkeeper.
This couldn't be better!

"Zhou Yi's long pass!" Duan Xin shouted as Zhou Yi passed, but he didn't actually have any hope in his heart.
But when he saw that Barrios actually stopped Zhou Yi's pass, he was shocked, and then shouted: "Beautiful long pass! Accurate long pass! He found Barrios accurately! This is a great counterattack opportunity for Dortmund!"
Marcel Leif also shouted in the commentary box: "Zhou Yi's long pass is very accurate! Dortmund have a great opportunity!"
The sky above the Mag Solar Stadium resounded with the exclamations and boos of the Freiburg fans.
The rest of the Freiburg players are desperately trying to get back on the defensive.
Zhou Yi didn't run up again, at this time Barrios was too far away from him, with his physical fitness, he couldn't do anything and just wasted his physical strength.
He chose to watch from the back and see what Barrios would do with the ball he passed to him.
Barrios stopped the ball and took two steps forward. But perhaps it may have been due to the decline in fitness after playing for more than 70 minutes, he did not choose to break through the defender, but only made a feint, shook off the angle, and shot directly outside the penalty area.
However, this time, Barrios shot slightly off the standard and the ball ended up going over the crossbar......
"Oops!!!" Duan Xin exclaimed in regret. How he hoped that Zhou Yi's long pass could cause a goal!
You must know that this is a rare opportunity for Zhou Yi to pass the long pass accurately!
It's a pity that Barrios wasted this opportunity.
This is probably the problem with being a midfielder, and no matter how good your passing is, it can be squandered by your striker team-mates.
But it can't be helped, that's football, mistakes and regrets are part of football.
If you want to make mistakes and regrets better, you can only make yourself stronger and create more opportunities.
Marcel Leif also felt sorry for Zhou Yi: "What a good counterattack opportunity for Dortmund, but Barrios missed it......!
Barrios, who lost his balance after the shot, fell to the ground and watched the whole process of the ball flying off the crossbar, and he rolled over, covering his face with regret.
Then he got up from the ground and gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up again.
This is not any court etiquette, he is really applauding Zhou Yi's pass.
The ball was really good.
Zhou Yi waved his hand at Barrios, seemingly not caring that he wasted this opportunity.
But Sha Xin, who was behind Zhou Yi, looked even more regretful than Zhou Yi, as if this ball was passed by him. Watching Barrios shoot the ball high, Shaheen clasped his head in both hands.
What a beautiful long pass...... What a pity!

"What a pity!" Bwach exclaimed from the sidelines. "Barrios is too hard!"
Klopp shook his head: "He may be out of energy." Replace him. β
Five minutes later, Barrios was replaced by ValdΓ©s.
It was Zhou Yi who played the whole game.
In the end, Dortmund drew 1:1 with Freiburg away from home. If Barrios hadn't wasted Zhou Yi's pass, many Temund would have taken all three points away from home to end a tumultuous season with a victory.
But that's football.
Sometimes, it won't always roll and fly the trajectory you want, it will be a little off.
So in order not to let football always deviate a little bit at critical moments, you need to put in more effort to train.
After the game, when a Chinese reporter asked Zhou Yi if he regretted that Barrios had wasted that opportunity, Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "There is nothing to regret." β
"But if Barrios scores this goal, you can win this game......," the reporter asked.
'Well, we have some other chances that if we can score as well, we don't need to rely on Barrios to win the game. Zhou Yi's answer made the reporter not know how to continue asking.
Seeing that the reporters didn't ask any questions, Zhou Yi waved to them and left.
In this way, Zhou Yi ended all his official matches in the 209-2010 season.
His season is over.

However, just when Zhou Yi was looking forward to returning to his hometown in fine clothes, he had just entered the locker room, but he was poured a basin of cold water on Klopp's head.
"Hi, Zhou Yi. Klopp pulled Zhou Yi.
"Hello, coach. What's the matter?" Zhou Yi stopped.
"That's right...... Do you have any plans for your vacation?"
"I'm going home. β
"Well, you really should go home. Klopp nodded, and then the conversation changed. "But can you postpone your plan to go home any longer?"
Zhou Yi looked at him in surprise, not understanding what Klopp meant by this.
"Well, the coaching staff gives you a special training plan that takes time to complete. This training is used to improve your physical fitness, including fitness and strength. We intend to use the holiday time to train you......"
"But my fitness is already improving, don't you see that I have played ten minutes in this game, and I'm not very tired......" Zhou Yi spread his hands and said, his breathing was very even.
"Yes, but after you've played one game with all your strength now, can you still play the same 90 minutes in the next game?" Klopp asked.
Faced with Klopp's question, Zhou Yi didn't know how to answer. He is well aware of his physical fitness, he really can't, but he doesn't want to admit it publicly, he really wants to go home, from November 2008 to now, a year and a half, he hasn't been home, he can only see his parents through online video calls.
After the initial novelty of leaving home and coming to Germany, the feeling of missing my parents back home has been accumulating. It was originally planned to go home after the season. As a result, he was suddenly told that he might not be able to go home, how could he accept it?
"Next season, we will not only be in the domestic league, but also in the Champions League. But with your current fitness, it's hard to play the full 90 minutes in a league in a row, let alone play on both fronts. Or do you want me to exclude you from the registration list for one of these competitions? So do you choose one, not in the league or not in the Champions League?"
Klopp made a killer move.
The Champions League is a dream stage for Zhou Yi. When he was just a student fan, he could only watch the Champions League live on TV and online. For him, the Champions League is the club's top stage, the highest honour for a professional footballer outside of the World Cup.
To be able to play in the Champions League? It's exciting to think about it, how can you give up?
The league must not be abandoned, the league is the foundation, and how many games a year is there in the Champions League? The league is 34 games......
More importantly - why should I choose one and give up the other?
Since neither of them wants to give up, Zhou Yi may have to accept Klopp's arrangement.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was still a little hesitant, Klopp lowered his voice and said to Zhou Yi: "Let me tell you a message, next season, Shahin is leaving." β
But Zhou Yi was not surprised.
"You got it?" Klopp was surprised.
"I guessed it. Zhou Yi said. "Before this game, Nuri suddenly said to me that he wanted me to be the main core in this game, and he would be the secondary. β
Klopp rubbed his chin when he heard this: "No wonder......"
The answer to what you saw in the game is all there.
"So do you know why Shaheen did this?" he asked.
Zhou Yi nodded.
'Next season we're single-core and you're going to be the heart of the team. If the core of a team can't even make consecutive starts, such a core and a team with such people as the core will only be ridiculed. Klopp said while the iron was hot. "Borussia Dortmund need a physical core on two fronts, so that's why I'm going to put together an extra training plan for you in the summer. β
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was speechless, what else could he say?
Can he refuse?
No.
He can't say to the manager who believes in him: "I'm sorry, I can't be the core, I just want to go home and see my parents, so you better find another person." β
Isn't that?
What did you come to Dortmund for?
Isn't it just to fulfill your ambitions in professional football?
Now that the opportunity is in front of you, how can you not seize it?
Under Klopp's gaze, Zhou Yi sighed: "Okay, coach, I'll listen to you, stay and train." β
Seeing that Zhou Yi agreed to his training plan, Klopp excitedly hugged Zhou Yi into his arms: "I like children like you, Zhou Yi! I promise that this vacation will benefit you for a lifetime!"
Zhou Yi was almost out of breath in Klopp's arms...... He struggled and said, "But...... Next summer, coach you must ...... You want to let me go home!"
He spoke as pitifully as a prisoner in a prison, and combined with his breathless struggles, I was so pitiful......
Klopp laughed and patted Zhou Yi on the back and said, "Of course, no problem!"
So just like that, Zhou Yi's 2009-2010 season ended, but his 2010-2011 season had already started early......
