After a short break, the two sides returned to the pitch again for extra time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first half of extra time, it was basically the Japanese team besieging the Chinese team's goal, and the Chinese team players were all recycled, and even the center forwards became central defenders.

Gao Hongbo no longer expects his team to beat Japan in overtime, this kind of thing, the semi-finals have been played once, and if the final comes again, it is unlikely.

As long as he can drag the game into a penalty shootout, he wins.

In the first half of extra time, the Chinese team did not concede a goal, and the score was still 0:0.

The second half began after the two sides exchanged venues directly.

Unfortunately, just two minutes into the second half, Japan scored. And the person who scored for the Japanese team was Zhou Yi's teammate Shinji Kagawa in Dortmund!

When Shinji Kagawa scored, there was a deafening cheer in the Khalifa Stadium, and the game, which had been slightly oppressive and dull, finally had its first bright spot......

When Shinji Kagawa was frantically celebrating the goal, the TV broadcast cut the camera to Zhou Yi in the box.

Zhou Yi leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, his expression not captured by the TV camera. But judging from this action, it can be seen that Zhou Yi is still quite regretful.

It's a pity that the game was played to this point, and in the end it was scored by the Japanese team......

The Japanese team finally defeated the Chinese team with this goal and won the Asian Cup.

It was supposed to be a game with no suspense, but I didn't expect the Japanese team to win so hard in the end, which was really unexpected by many people.

In the absence of the core Zhou Yi, the tenacity shown by the Chinese team is really impressive.

After the game, the Chinese team received the silver medal, and Zhou Yi also got a piece. In addition, wearing a suit, he also received the trophy symbolizing the best player of this Asian Cup.

Although the Chinese team was not able to win the championship, Zhou Yi's performance in the Asian Cup is obvious to all, and without him, the Chinese team would not have reached the final. It can be said that he has single-handedly improved the strength of the Chinese team by two grades, and such a performance is not unacceptable to the best players.

So even if the Japanese team wins the championship, the best player is not selected from their team.

Neither the Japanese media nor commentators disagree on this.

The Japanese team's victory can be said to be a reflection of the overall strength of Japanese football, and it is logical.

The Chinese team was able to break into the finals, which was really unexpected by everyone, and it can be said that Zhou Yi did it on his own.

Because Shinji Kagawa plays for Dortmund, the Japanese media often report on Dortmund's games, and they are very clear about Zhou Yi's level, and Zhou Yi deserves this award.

After the game, Shinji Kagawa, as the biggest contributor to the Japanese team's victory, was surrounded by reporters, among whom the Japanese reporters excitedly said to Shinji Kagawa: "Congratulations, Kagawa! Your performance in this game is really outstanding, and you deserve to be the best on the spot! Do you think that this championship has established the king of Japanese football in Asia? Asian football has opened the era of Japan?"

The Japanese reporter was also so excited that he asked such a question, and he could hear the sideways glances of reporters from South Korea, Iran, and other countries around him, while the Chinese reporter was particularly unhappy, glaring angrily at the Japanese reporter, thinking that he was a villain.

However, the Japanese reporter didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his question, and he looked at Shinji Kagawa and waited for Shinji Kagawa's answer.

Unexpectedly, Shinji Kagawa shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so." Speaking of this Asian Cup, I don't think that our victory will mean anything. Because we defeated a Chinese team without Zhou Yi in the final, if Zhou Yi can participate in the final, the result is not easy to say. I don't think the Japanese team has any absolute advantage in front of the Chinese team with Zhou Yi. ”

Shinji Kagawa had a serious expression, and it didn't look like he was joking at all when he said this.

His serious expression and words frightened the proud Japanese reporter, and he was stunned, not knowing how to answer Kagawa Shinji's words.

The Chinese reporters next to them, who were still glaring at the Japanese reporter, were very surprised, but they didn't expect Shinji Kagawa to say such an answer!

Judging from his words, he ...... The evaluation of Zhou Yi is quite high!

Of course, it is not surprising that Shinji Kagawa has a high opinion of Zhou Yi, everyone is the one who covers the Dortmund game, and Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa still know what the relationship is.

To the surprise of the Chinese reporter, when the Japanese reporter behaved proudly, he came out to remind him not to be like this is not Chinese, but a Japanese, a Japanese player, a Japanese star player!

This is not a big deal, at most it is an episode of this interview, but this episode can show Kagawa Shinji's attitude towards Zhou Yi to some extent......

And his words also made Chinese reporters a little sad - yes, if Zhou Yi can play this game, the result may not be that the Japanese team wins!

What does Zhou Yi think of this result?

Outside the stadium, Zhou Yi held the trophy of the best player and a silver medal around his neck, and said to reporters with a smile: "Congratulations to Kagawa for winning the Asian Cup." Now I'm going to ask him to keep it for me for four years, and I'll ask him again after four years!"

Before the final, he only said that he would be able to reach the final in four years, and after the final, he had already set his sights on the championship.

It seems that this final still brought him excitement, is there really no regret? Of course it is a lie!

On the second day of the finals, the Chinese team and the Japanese team will return home, but the foreign players in the team will not act with the team.

From here they will go straight back to Europe.

Hao Junmin, Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa took the same flight, arrived at Düsseldorf Airport, and then returned from Düsseldorf.

Klopp also gave two players who played in the Asian Cup a day off. When they arrived in Dortmund, they didn't have to follow the team training, but could rest at home for a full day before going back to training.

In this Asian Cup, Shinji Kagawa won the Asian Cup, and Zhou Yi won the best player, but Dortmund was a little unlucky.

In their absence, Borussia Dortmund have played three league games, drawing two and losing one, with their most recent league game drawing 1-1 away at Wolfsburg.

Although Borussia Dortmund are currently in first place, they are only three points off Bayer Leverkusen, who are second in the league.

From a 10-point lead to a three-point lead, it feels like you've fallen from heaven to hell all at once.

This shows how much the departure of Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa had an impact on Dortmund. Especially Zhou Yi, as the only core of Dortmund, his departure made Dortmund's attack seem to be unable to find a direction.

In the 21st round of the league, Dortmund will face Schalke 04 at home against Ruhr derby opponents.

In such a situation, Schalke 04 certainly don't mind letting Dortmund lose another game and directly pull them off from the top spot in the league.

At this time, Dortmund urgently needs Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa to return to the team.

However, although they have all returned to the team, they have been playing in the Asian Cup for almost a month, and the players must be very tired both physically and psychologically, and it is difficult to say how much form they can have.

So it's not like the two of them came back and everything was fine, and the alarm was not lifted.

※※※

In fact, for Zhou Yi, even if Klopp gave him a day off, he couldn't rest at all.

Because he hasn't come back to live in it for more than a month, the locked room will definitely be dirtier than when there are people living for a long time, and those things on the bed have to be changed, so he can't rest at all, and his time and energy have to be used to clean.

Early in the morning, he got up and started to change things like bed sheets and quilt covers.

While he was busy in his room, Cortana appeared at the door and asked in a very rare way, "Do you want to help?"

Zhou Yi was surprised and turned his head to look at her blankly.

"Looks like I don't want to. Cortana turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Yi, who reacted.

"Eh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

Cortana turned and walked in, then frowned, "It's smelly." ”

"I haven't lived in it for more than a month...... Zhou Yi explained with some embarrassment.

"It's good that I haven't lived there for more than a month, otherwise the smell is even bigger. Cortana waved her hand.

"Hey!" Zhou Yi protested. "That's what men smell like, just like your women's rooms smell too?"

"But we smell better. Cortana was disgusted and began to help Zhou Yi disassemble the bedding.

Her movements were very quick and skillful, Zhou Yi couldn't intervene even if she wanted to, and in the end she was kicked out by Cortana on the grounds that she was in the way.

Cortana said she was here to help, but she did it all by herself......

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa in the living room and watched Cortana busy in and out, and couldn't help but sigh: "The food is delicious, and the hygiene is so cleaned...... Is this the ability to live independently by arguing with my mother often and then coming out to live?"

Cortana gave him a blank look.

"But it's really thanks to you, I can have a good rest......" As he spoke, Zhou Yi stretched his waist and lay on the sofa on his back.

Then he stopped moving.

And when Cortana stuffed everything that should be washed into the washing machine and cleaned it for a living, she came back and looked again, only to find that Zhou Yi didn't know when...... Fall asleep!

I just came to help him, but he didn't care about anything, and he fell asleep!

For a moment, Cortana wanted to rush up and pull Zhou Yi up.

But the thought that he had just finished the Asian Cup, that he had only come back last night, and that he would have to play a Ruhr derby three days later......

She let him go and let him sleep on the couch.

He turned and went back to his room.
