Zhou Yi agreed to play the back so quickly because whether it is in a real game or a virtual game, he will occasionally make a cameo appearance in the back midfield, such as when the opponent pressed him too tightly in the front court, he had to retreat, and at this time he was actually a back midfield.

And in modern football, the division of positions is not so obvious.

Perhaps the clearest time for a player to have a position on the field is when he appears in the lineup played by the game broadcast.

When the game starts, the position of the players is not very fixed, especially the players in the midfield, they always have to change positions and keep running.

Modern football is not like before, it is said to be a midfielder, then it is fixed in the back, responsible for defending full-time, and nothing else. At that time, the midfielders were powerful and fierce in defense, but their offensive ability was not worth mentioning, and they rarely participated in the attack.

In the past, the division of labor in football was clear, the center forward was responsible for scoring goals, the winger was responsible for crossing, the forward was responsible for organizing the attack, and the back was responsible for defense. At that time, as long as you know the position of a player, you can basically know what he is good at.

But now, it's different.

Modern football is becoming more and more comprehensive in terms of players' abilities, and the meaning of position is becoming more and more ambiguous. The center doesn't have to score goals, but he has to play the ball back. The winger doesn't have to cross, but he has to cut inside to shoot. The midfielder may not be able to pass the ball, but he must be able to score points in front of him. The midfielder may not be good at defending, but he must be able to organise the attack...... Even the goalkeeper is now gradually starting to rush out of the small penalty area, expanding the defensive area to the big penalty area, and even the entire second half, which is called "expanding the defensive area with high ball control".

So it's not that playing at the back means you're getting farther and farther away from creating a threat. It's not that playing the back doesn't have the scenery of the front waist.

Since Andrea Pirlo redefined the midfield, more and more of the organization's core has been playing in the midfield.

For example, Xavi in Barcelona, for example, Xavi Alonso, who played for Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The classic forward midfielder who relied on passing to organize the attack has gradually withdrawn from the stage and has become history. Now the midfielders are demanding to play like shadow strikers, even ...... Center.

After deciding what position to play in the new season, all that's left is how to play in the back and then train.

Unlike physical training, tactical training is only open for the first 15 minutes of each training session, and fans and journalists can watch and shoot outside.

But when the fifteen minutes were over, the training ground was closed. Not for anyone except the journalists of the official Dortmund website.

But even the photos and videos taken by the reporters on the official website have to be reviewed by the coaching staff, and some inconsequential things can be released, such as the players practicing shooting and joking together between training...... Such a picture.

The part involving specific tactical drills should be kept strictly confidential.

Any coach attaches great importance to his team's tactics and cannot easily leak them.

If a leak happens, it's a serious problem.

So after the tactical training began, no one in the outside world knew that Zhou Yi was playing at the back.

However, the team members were a little surprised.

"You're playing as a midfielder in the new season?" Grosskloitz looked Zhou Yi's still not strong body up and down, "What does Klopp think?

"Hey, Kevin, don't say that......" Mark stood up again to defend Zhou Yi. "Zhou Yi's body is indeed very weak, and he is really not good at defense......" When he said this, he paused, he wanted to say "but" next, but he didn't think of anything to follow, after a pause, he had to say: "Okay, in fact, I don't know why the head coach wants you to play the back ......"

"In China, there is a saying that explains why I play at the back. Zhou Yi looked like a man and his tone.

"What colloquialism?"

"Take a step back and open the sky. Zhou Yi said in German.

For Zhou Yi, it's really like this, the position is retreated, and the sea and sky are wide.

He went back to his room that night and experimented with kicking the midfielder in the virtual world. It feels a little different from playing in the midfield, but it doesn't get to the point of turning the earth upside down. And the defensive pressure is really less.

It would have been awkward if he didn't know how to play long balls, but now that he has long ball skills, it's no different from playing as a midfielder.

And no one has a rule that he can only use long passes to play at the back, he can also use short- and medium-distance passes to organize attacks, and he himself can also step forward at any time to participate in the attack, put pressure on the opponent's backline, and become the key person to break the deadlock and balance.

Since it was confirmed that Zhou Yi would play at the back, Klopp has been paying close attention to Zhou Yi and wants to see how Zhou Yi performs in this new position.

It takes some time for any player to settle into a new position, more or less long or short.

But Zhouyi's adaptation cycle seems to be extraordinarily short......

Even if there were some newcomers in the team, he didn't seem to show any strangeness. It's still like I've been training with them for a long time.

This belongs to Zhou Yi's characteristics, and Klopp is not surprised. I just think that with such an incredible talent, I am afraid that there are few people in the world...... Is this talent a "self-cooked" VIP platinum upgrade?

In the position of the back midfield, Zhou Yi also had time to adapt, but it was soon clear that he had begun to play decently.

Although the position is different from before, the work is still the same, all about organizing the attack and controlling the tempo.

In the midfield position, Zhou Yi still showed his strong ability to read the game, analyze the game and process this information.

In fact, these abilities, those veteran players in Dortmund know it, and they saw it last season. However, in the new position, Zhou Yi is still doing so well, and they are also a little surprised--should this kid be playing at the back in the first place? Otherwise, why is he like a fish in water in this position?

Even more surprising were the new players who had only joined Borussia Dortmund this season.

They were surprised that Zhou Yi was young, but he acted like a veteran with a lot of experience on the court. And from the front waist to the back waist, the transition is so natural and seamless, which also makes their booth pay attention.

When Shinji Kagawa was interviewed by a Japanese reporter, he talked about his impression of Zhou Yi.

“...... Although I have heard Kirsson talk about Zhou Yi frequently before. But when I came here, I realized how powerful Zhou Sang was. Although he is young, he has talents and abilities that are beyond ordinary people. I think it takes him more time to watch and read the game than all of us, and he can immediately move the ball to the next place without having to look at it, and it's the right choice...... It's incredible!"

The Japanese reporter couldn't believe it at first, thinking that Shinji Kagawa was exaggerating.

No matter how powerful Zhou Yi is, he doesn't deserve such an evaluation, right?

It doesn't feel like an ordinary human anymore, is his brain so powerful?

But after analyzing it, what reason does Shinji Kagawa have to brag about a Chinese player to them? What good does this do to him? In order to curry favor with Zhou Yi?

So Japanese journalists were skeptical of Kagawa's words.

On the one hand, I think Zhou Yi is really powerful, but on the other hand, I think Zhou Yi is not so powerful - you say that they are not entangled.

In fact, the Japanese reporters are a little selfish in their entanglement: they hope that Shinji Kagawa can play the main force in Dortmund. But in the position of the front midfield, Shinji Kagawa faces a very strong opponent, that is, Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's performance in the team last season is no longer enough to be described as "amazing".

Zhou Yi is deeply valued by Klopp, and it is not easy for Shinji Kagawa to challenge Zhou Yi.

If these reporters knew that Zhou Yi had changed to the back waist, I don't know what they would think in their hearts......

Everyone was full of expectations for Zhou Yi's performance in the new position, but Zhou Yi himself looked at it very indifferently.

Because he can test his performance in this area in advance through virtual training and competitions, it is not surprising that he is doing now.

Compared to himself, he cares more about his good friend Mark.

Mark has been training with the first team since he was drawn from the second team.

Zhou Yi hopes that Mark can finally stay in the first team.

However, it now appears that Mark is struggling to cope with the intensity of training with the first team and he may have to pay more to stay here......

Mark obviously knew this, so despite the harsh training and the harsh coach, he didn't complain, but gritted his teeth and participated in the daily training, trying to complete the training requirements set by the coach in training.

To be able to be a real Borussia Dortmund player and play for the first team at the Wester**** Stadium was his childhood dream.

Although this dream has been sealed in the dust for a while.

But it is precisely because of this experience that he now cherishes this opportunity even more and is unwilling to give it up.

In any case, in the end he must stay in the first team and be registered in the squad!
