Chapter 65: The First Game of the League

Zhou Yi came to the gym of the training base to continue his physical recovery training. Although he has been training with the team in terms of technique and tactics now www.biquge.info he still needs to train alone.

Every day I take a little time out to strengthen my body.

As he walked into the locker room, he heard a heavy wheezing sound coming from inside.

"Hey, Mark, are you tired again?" Zhou Yi said, bypassing a row of equipment, and came into view of Mark Wagner lying on the floor in large characters.

Hearing Zhou Yi's voice, Mark Wagner didn't even raise his head, nor did he answer him immediately, because he was panting now and his words were incoherent.

After a while, he said, "I want to go faster......"

"Hey, there is an objective law, Mark, it's not that you can come back early if you practice yourself in the gym every day, I think you should be calm and don't be too anxious. And, in case your sister finds you, you're going to be scolded again. Zhou Yi said as he got on the equipment and prepared for training.

"I know, Zhou Yi, what you said makes sense, but I just can't help it......" Mark lay on the ground, his chest rising and falling much more relaxed than before.

In fact, at the end of last season, Mark had already recovered from injury, but he still needed to do restorative training before he could return to play.

So when everyone was on vacation, he went back to the Bracker training base for recovery training.

This time, without the help of his good friend Zhou Yi, he has to fight fate alone.

Recovery training is very long, because his body has not been active for ten months, and it is necessary to increase the amount little by little, so that the body can slowly adapt and familiarize, and a slight mistake in this process may lead to a second injury to the body, so that the recovery of the injury is far away, and it may also cause more serious damage to the body.

Listening to the clattering sound of the instrument, Mark sat up from the ground, supported his leaning body with both hands, and looked at Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi, can you really play in the next game?"

"Of course. ”

"Didn't you say to be calm and not be in a hurry?"

"I'm not hurt. Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, he was forcefully lifting the instrument pressed on his ankle.

"But...... You haven't practiced much with the team, so if you play......"

"Don't worry, Mark. I think the coaches know very well whether I can play or not, and if they think I can, then I can play. ”

While the two of them were talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the gym door.

Then Cortana, wearing a Dortmund sports jacket and a ponytail, appeared in front of the two people.

Seeing that her brother was also there, Cortana said with a cold face, "Mark, you shouldn't have come here." You've already done your physical training today. ”

In front of his sister, Mark seemed very obedient, he bent his neck and bowed his head silently.

The elder sister taught the younger brother, and Zhou Yi watched the excitement beside him, always with a smile on his face.

However, Cortana quickly noticed him and gave him a blank look: "What are you laughing at!"

"No, I just feel that my sister loves my brother, it's so warm. Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile.

Cortana glanced at Zhou Yi suspiciously, unsure whether he was telling the truth or being sarcastic.

Of course, Zhou Yi guessed what Cortana's glance meant, and he waved his hand: "Don't think about it, what I said is just a literal meaning." ”

Cortana then turned to Mark and said, "Go, Mark." ”

Mark waved his hand to Zhou Yi: "Goodbye, Zhou Yi." If you can play, I wish you a great performance. ”

"Thank you Mark and I wish you an early match. ”

Mark and Cortana left the gym, and Zhou Yi was the only one left in the huge room, and he began to grit his teeth and compete with the fitness equipment......

※※※

At half past two in the morning on August 25, Beijing time, the new season of the Bundesliga will kick off, and the opening match will be the match between Dortmund and Werder Bremen.

The day before this game, Dortmund announced the eighteen-man squad for this game, and Zhou Yi's name was impressively listed.

As he said, there is a real chance that he will play in this game!

However, some media believe that this is Klopp's insurance measure, and he actually doesn't plan to really let Zhou Yi play, this is to put him on the bench. It's really impossible to let Zhou Yi play again, and in fact, most of the time, Zhou Yi may be on the bench until the end of the game......

What the Chinese media and fans are concerned about is whether Zhou Yi will start?

People want him to start, but they don't want him to start.

Wanting him to start naturally wants to see him play more, and not wanting him to start is because I feel that his fitness has not fully recovered, and if he starts, it will affect his fitness......

However, at the same time as the squad was announced, Dortmund did not announce the starting line-up for the next day's game, which should not be available until about two hours before the game.

Two hours before the game the next day, the starting list finally came out, and it was released for the first time on the Chinese Internet.

Zhou Yi started the game!

"I'll go!, is Zhou Yi really recovering?"

"It seems that Dortmund can do without anyone, but it can't be without Zhou Yi! The core is well deserved! But will there be some ...... Too tired?"

"It turned out to be a starter, it seems that the impact of the Super Cup loss to Bayern Munich is not as small as Klopp said......"

On the Internet, everyone is talking about it.

The fans were surprised, and so were the journalists.

In the media booth of the West **** Stadium before the start of the game, the reporters who were already in place were also discussing the matter of Zhou Yi's start.

"Is Zhou Yi's physical fitness really okay?"

"Actually, two weeks of physical training is about the same time as the team's pre-season training time, so fitness may not be an issue. But even if he is physically fine, how much time does he have to train with the team? He is the core of the midfield, and after he comes on the pitch, he has to connect with the whole team, so how can he connect with him in this situation?"

"yes, yes, even if the fitness is fine, his coordination with the team is also a problem. Shinji Kagawa is gone, and another Royce is here, and it's obviously impossible to say that last season's tactics are still being used......"

"Could it be because of Sven Bender's injury that Zhou Yi was allowed to start?"

After the Super Cup match against Bayern Munich, Sven Bender picked up an injury in training and was checked to be out for almost a month.

"But Zhou Yi and Sven Bender are completely two types of midfielders, and the person who wants to replace Sven Bender should not be him......"

Journalists don't understand.

There are two main doubts now, one is whether Zhou Yi's physical fitness is enough for him to cope with continuous combat immediately after the end of the Olympics 22 days. This is not the game he is up against, as Borussia Dortmund travel to Nuremberg on the night of September 1 in the second round of the league. Then on September 11, he will return to China to participate in a key battle of the World Cup Asian qualifiers top 10 - the Chinese team away to challenge Japan, how important this game is needless to say, the Chinese media and fans are worried about whether Zhou Yi still has the fitness and condition to play this game after the previous two consecutive games, after all, he has to fly back from Germany before this, and the journey will also affect the physical condition of the players.

The second question is that even if Zhou Yi's physical fitness has reached the requirements for playing, what about his state? What about the cooperation between him and his teammates? Dortmund has made tactical adjustments this season, but Zhou Yike has not been training with the team for long. When Shinji Kagawa was there, he played the front midfield, and Zhou Yi retreated into the back midfield. Now that Shinji Kagawa is gone, Royce is not the material to play in the front midfield, so in the position of the front waist is equivalent to an empty person, Zhou Yi's position is to the premise, or continue to stay in the back waist? This is not a simple change in the position on the court, but also involves a whole set of offensive and defensive operations, how much time does Zhou Yi have to practice with his teammates, and are he and his teammates already familiar with it?

And the first of these two questions may not be visible now, but the second may be known in this game.

ps, sorry, I miscalculated the time when I wrote the last chapter, and I advanced the time when Guardiola came to Bayern Munich by one season, which is a major mistake, I have modified it in the previous chapter, and the next Bayern Munich is still coached by Heynckes, so I am very sorry for the trouble! )
