When Zhou Yi was preparing for the second round of the league at Bracker's training base, reporters also flocked to hear what he, the core of Borussia Dortmund, had to say about the team's inclusion in the group of death, and some reporters came to interview him about his feelings about being on the list of the best players of European clubs. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Regarding the list of the best ten, Zhou Yi seemed very calm, and even a little indifferent.

"The strongest ten? I've never stopped saying that, and there are only three people who can attend the awards ceremony every year, so the 'strongest ten' is a gimmick you make up, right? Doesn't make much sense. ”

Zhou Yi's words are tantamount to breaking a basin of cold water for those excited reporters, but this is a normal practice for people who have high requirements for themselves. If he is complacent about entering the so-called "strongest ten" list, his achievements will end here.

Only some Chinese journalists pay attention to the so-called "strongest ten", and many more people still pay attention to the grouping of the group stage.

Regarding this matter, Zhou Yi seemed very self-conscious, and he asked reporters rhetorically: "Do you know the Champions League Group D in the 1989-1999 season?"

How could these professional football journalists not know about the 1989-1999 Champions League Group D?

So what does Zhou Yi's answer mean?

Is it said that Dortmund could be Bayern Munich or Manchester United that year? But the problem is that first Dortmund will qualify from this group......

It's not that easy to get out of this group.

Klopp also looked as confident as Zhou Yi in an interview with reporters: "We know that the opponent is strong, but Dortmund is also a strong opponent in the eyes of the opponent. We're going to fight against any team that stands in our way. ”

After being placed in the Group of Death, Dortmund did not show any negativity, which made Dortmund fans feel a little relieved......

And there was a change that made Dortmund fans happy.

Dortmund returned to the Champions League after a seven-season hiatus in the 2009-2010 season, where they were drawn in a group with defending champions Inter Milan, Valencia and FC Twente.

What did the media think of the results of this grouping at the time?

They all think that Dortmund's qualifying situation is worrying, and it is not easy to grab a qualifying place, and they have to rely on luck. I think the most practical thing for Dortmund is to have a correct mentality, focus on accumulating experience, and don't expect any group to qualify.

At that time, Dortmund was really despised in the European arena.

And this time, it was also divided into the group of death, and the degree of death was better than the previous one, but everyone's evaluation of Dortmund was not a decline, but that Dortmund was an important part of the group of death, and that Dortmund could wrestle with any opponent in this group stage, and no one was sure that they would be able to win Dortmund.

This is the result of Dortmund's two consecutive seasons in the knockout stages of the Champions League, one in the quarter-finals and one in the semi-finals.

In the world of football, respect and recognition are earned on strength.

After the Champions League group draw ceremony, Borussia Dortmund welcomed the second round of the Bundesliga, where they took on Nuremberg away.

Zhou Yi only played half of the game in this game, started the game, and was replaced at halftime. In the end, Dortmund drew 1-1 away from home to Nuremberg.

Zhou Yi was replaced early because he was going to return to China to participate in a very important World Cup qualifier.

In the past, the Chinese Football Association and Dortmund continued to communicate, because there had been similar things before, and the two sides also had good communication and cooperation, so this time an agreement was also made to let Zhou Yi only play half of the league to retain more physical fitness for him to return to China to compete.

Fortunately, there is only one national team game in September, and Zhou Yi can come back after playing, so there is no need to delay too much, and the losses suffered by the club are relatively small.

However, Zhou Yi has such a privilege, and Yang Muge does not have such a good treatment. After all, Zhou Yi is the core of the club, and the head coach will also consider the mood of the players, and if he is more willing to play for the country, the club will also be accommodating.

Although Yang Muge is Yang Muge's main player, he has no core treatment, and Schalke 04 will never let Yang Muge return to China to compete, so he will only play half the game.

In this game, Schalke 04 defeated Augsburg 3:1 at home, and Yang Muge played the whole game.

Fortunately, Yang Muge's physical fitness is much better than Zhou Yi's, so even if he plays forty-five minutes more than Zhou Yi, it's not a big deal.

In Spain, Sun Pan was not recruited into the national squad for this competition due to injury, and he will stay in Spain to continue to recuperate. But he's already started training and he's not far from coming back.

He Ying does not have a physical problem, because in the third round of the league, Barcelona defeated Valencia 1-0 at home, he still did not be able to enter the squad for the game, and he did not play the game, how could he not be physically fit?

Guo Nu, a central defender who plays for Siena in Serie A, also played the whole game, but Siena lost 1-2 away to Sampdoria.

In addition to Sun Pan, four of the five Xiaolong have been selected for the national team and will return to China to prepare for the match against the Japanese team.

In the entire national Olympic team, it is not only the four of them who have been selected for the national team, striker Wu Lei, fullback Cao Yun, also with their outstanding performance in the Olympic Games, was selected into the national team's squad, but Wu Lei is not the first time to be selected for the national team, as early as the 2010 East Asian Cup, he was selected for Gao Hongbo's national team, but he has always been a marginal international player, and his position in the national team is not stable.

During the London Olympics, the media reported the news that the national team head coach Gao Hongbo was watching the game in London, and some people speculated that Gao Hongbo was here to observe the outstanding players in the national Olympic team, and maybe after the Olympics, they will be recruited into the national team one after another.

Unexpectedly, after the Olympic Games, Gao Hongbo moved almost half of the national Olympic team into the national team.

This is a very bold move, after all, so many people come in, it means that there are the same number of former national team players to be out, this kind of drastic adjustment is actually very risky, because to offend people, to destroy the original vested interest structure, after all, it is not easy to enter the national team, no one wants to be out.

Although the national Olympic team won the Olympic gold medal, it does not mean that they are necessarily suitable for the national team, after all, the tactical system of the national Olympic team and the national Olympic team is different.

If the grades are good, that's it, even if someone is dissatisfied, there is no excuse to vent. But once the results are not good, then for Gao Hongbo and the young players of the National Olympic team, the pressure will be overwhelming.

The first game of the players of the national Olympic team was against Japan, the strongest team in the group......

Still away!

If Gao Hongbo loses this game, I don't know if he will face pressure from some people in China? Will the players of the National Olympic team also become victims?

In fact, Gao Hongbo has no need to recruit so many players from the national Olympic team in one go, not to mention that it is an impact on the national team players, but also to let the newcomers adapt to the tactics of the national team again.

But Gao Hongbo has recruited so many people, it's useless to say anything, Gao Hongbo is sometimes stubborn and unbelievable, and he can't understand how this thin and shy man's physical fitness can contain such explosive power......

He was also so stubborn when he was coaching the Changchun team, and his stubbornness allowed him to lead the "civilian team" of Changchuan Yatai to win the Chinese Super League championship historically. But it was also because of stubbornness that he had irreconcilable conflicts with the players after the championship, and was finally dismissed by the club. But the Changchun team, which lost Gao Hongbo, was never able to regain its lost glory.

Gao Hongbo is not a head coach who is good at handling his relationship with the media, when he first became the head coach and coached Guangzhou Songri Club, after a clash with Sichuan Quanxing led by Tavares, Gao Hongbo, who lost the game, scolded the other party at the press conference for relying on the referee, and then got up and left without giving reporters a chance to ask questions.

Because of these personalities, Gao Hongbo has not been very popular in the media. When Wanda Group sponsored the Football Association last year, it was rumored that he was going to be replaced by a well-known foreign coach, and there were some criticisms of Gao Hongbo in the media at that time, believing that he could not bring long-term progress to Chinese football, and his strength was limited, and he was not the best candidate needed by the Chinese team.

Before the Asian Cup, his "Asian third-rate theory" and "Asian Cup training theory" also aroused criticism from many fans and the media, and the public opinion environment was very unfavorable to him.

As a result, the runner-up of the Asian Cup and the team's performance in the entire Asian Cup were really amazing, and the public opinion praised Gao Hongbo more.

In everyone's eyes, Gao Hongbo is still sitting in the position of head coach of the Chinese national team.

At this time, some media commented again: Gao Hongbo is still a big gap with the world-class head coach, he is not the best one compared with all the Chinese and foreign coaches who coach in China, but he is the most suitable one for Chinese football, which is enough.

For Chinese football, which is accustomed to being ambitious, it doesn't matter whether Camacho or Lippi is really good, the world's famous coach is really good and has a high rank, but let university professors teach primary school students, this is not a waste of resources, this is not a problem at all.

With the current level of Chinese football, it is useless to invite Mourinho and Pep Guardiola to come, or Gao Hongbo, who was born and raised, understands Chinese football better and is more motivated to change the status quo of Chinese football.

However, football is a sport that pays more attention to results, if it weren't for the Chinese team winning the runner-up in the Asian Cup, Gao Hongbo would have to get out of class no matter how much he understands Chinese football.

Similarly, now that he has recruited six players from the national Olympic team to join the national team in one go, such a risky move, if the national team loses too badly in Japan in the end and touches the self-esteem of the Chinese people, I am afraid that his position will be unstable again.

Just at the London Olympics, Blazevic, who led the national Olympic team to win the gold medal, is now in high prestige, and it seems logical for him to replace Gao Hongbo, and it may not be suitable......

Gao Hongbo's fate can only depend on how this team performs. (To be continued.) )
