Chapter 192: Willing to Gamble and Lose
Before Zhou Yi's goal, Wolfsburg had pulled a goal back, and the score was 3:2, and Dortmund only led by one goal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the warm-up game, I don't really care about the result of the game, but it is nonsense to say that the team can lose casually.
If you can win, who wouldn't want to win?
Wolfsburg also wanted to win, so they attacked fiercely after pulling back a goal, and during this time, Zhou Yi walked on the pitch again, and Dortmund did have some difficulty.
But this predicament has now been shattered by Zhou Yi's ball!
Seeing Zhou Yi score, the players on the field were stunned.
The Wolfsburg players froze because they didn't expect a player who had lost his stamina to score a goal.
The surprise of the Dortmund players was frightened by Zhou Yi's tenacity - didn't he run can't run, how could he still rush up to score?
Sha Xin looked at Zhou Yi's back from behind, stunned, this kid ......
He thought that Zhou Yi would be replaced at any time, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yi was not only not replaced, but also had a goal!
Gotze off the field was even more surprised, judging from the individual performance of this game, Zhou Yi had surpassed him with one assist and one goal, and the sense of crisis in his heart was getting heavier and heavier......
※ ※ ※
While the players on both sides of the pitch were surprised by the sudden goal, the Chinese reporters on the sidelines collectively cheered, and their cheers were obvious and eye-catching at this time.
At this time, they don't look like professional journalists at all, but more like professional fans......
"Beautiful! beautiful goal!"
"One assist, one goal, and almost 60 minutes, perfect!"
"I have a hunch that when we send the situation of this warm-up game back to China, the domestic fans will definitely explode!"
"Is this kid really only eighteen years old, is he really training with the first team, and why do I think he's like a seasoned veteran......?
Everyone praised and sighed.
I didn't expect to see a good show in the first game.

The Dortmund players who reacted ran to Zhou Yi and surrounded him.
"Well done, boy!"
"Can you still run?"
"So your kid was rebuilding his strength for the walk just now?"
Everyone patted him on the shoulder and back and congratulated him.
Zhou Yi laughed but did not say anything in everyone's praise.
Of course, this is not because he is deliberately pretending, but because he has no strength to speak now. After the goal, he didn't run to celebrate, he didn't yell, he just stood there without even raising his hands - he just didn't have the strength to do the celebration.
※ ※ ※
Because it was a warm-up game, the goal celebration would not be too intense, and it would not last too long, so the players just came up to pat Zhou Yi, congratulated him, and ran back to their own half, and there was no one around Zhou Yi soon.
At this time, Zhou Yi did not walk towards his own half, but made a somewhat surprising action - he made a substitution gesture to the sidelines!
Klopp was a little surprised when he saw this action.
He didn't expect Zhou Yi to take the initiative to propose a substitution.
After seeing Zhou Yi score, he thought that Zhou Yi would definitely persevere. You must know that when Zhou Yi was walking, he really thought that this kid would do anything to win the bet with himself......
But now he is asking to be replaced, which is tantamount to taking the initiative to admit defeat!
It seems that Zhou Yi really can't run. Assistant coach Bwach said from the side.
Klopp nodded: "Let Tinga play." ”
Tinga, who was born in '78 and is 31 years old, is a Brazilian midfielder who came on to replace Zhou Yi.
When Zhou Yi was substituted, the Chinese reporters on the sidelines applauded, and they really looked more and more like fans......
Zhou Yi, who slowly walked off the field, came to Klopp, and the head coach smiled and said to him: "I thought you were a person who never gave up, why did you take the initiative to admit defeat?"
"I don't want to give up, Coach. But I really ...... I can't run......" Zhou Yi gasped, and his waist couldn't straighten.
"The doctor said that your physical recovery ability is very good, and you are the best in the team. ”
Dr. Marcus Braun has a team-wide nickname, "The Doctor".
"I still have such an evaluation?" Zhou Yi heard Klopp say this, and suddenly became energetic, and his speech was coherent, and he didn't even stumble in one breath.
Seeing Zhou Yi like this, Klopp couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you panting when you speak?"
"Didn't the doctor say that my physical recovery ability is good?" Zhou Yi immediately found a reasonable reason.
Klopp didn't expect that the words he had just used to ridicule him would be used by him as a weapon to refute him, and he was speechless for a while, but he also had a way to make Zhou Yi speechless. So he said to Zhou Yi: "Okay, hurry up and go down and rest." But don't forget, you are willing to gamble and lose, and you have to keep your promises. ”
When Zhou Yi heard this, he sighed deeply and said in frustration: "I know, coach, I know ......"
He then walked to the bench dejectedly, not at all like he had been sent off with a goal and an assist.
However, back on the bench, the congratulations and congratulations of his teammates still made Zhou Yi return to normal.

"Jurgen, did you make a bet with Zhou Yi?" Bwach heard what Klopp said to Zhou Yi and leaned in curiously.
"Hmm. Klopp nodded. 'He wanted me not to replace him at half-time before the game, he wanted to play the whole game. ”
"This ...... Why?" Bouachs wondered.
'He wants to show me that he is fit to play the whole game and has no problem. That way, I don't have to leave him alone with a much different level of physical training than the other players. ”
"So that's because of this?" Bwach froze for a moment, then laughed. "But now it seems that he lost, and what punishment does he have for losing?"
"The daily morning exercise has increased from an hour to an hour and a half, and the intensity has increased. Klopp said.
Bouch laughed: "No wonder he is so depressed. ”
As a member of the coaching staff, everyone knows what Zhou Yi is like in training, and he is very reluctant to accept this kind of training, but now he is facing a situation that he is unwilling to bear.
"If you want to gamble or lose, it's all this kid's own choice. If he hadn't started this gamble, he wouldn't be where he is now. Young man, if you want sweetness, how can you not suffer first?" Klopp shrugged.
Bwach turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yi, who was chatting with his teammates.
"But his performance on the court was really surprising, and I thought his performance in the first warm-up game was at best mediocre, because the youth team game is different from the senior team game...... I didn't expect a goal, an assist, and eight other scoring chances......," Bouas shook his head.
The so-called creation of scoring opportunities, that is, the passing caused a teammate's shot, and the shot is a "scoring opportunity", which is a very important statistic for the offensive playmaker to measure his performance. If a player consistently creates a lot of scoring opportunities in a game, he is definitely an excellent offensive playmaker.
Zhou Yi's eight scoring chances in this game are already the highest in the team, and his performance is indeed very good.
"What's the use of that, Gerlico, his fitness still restricts his performance, and he only played 57 minutes before he had to be substituted. It's just a warm-up game, not the kind of official game and key game that requires a lot of hard work, and his fitness can't meet my requirements at all. To put him on the pitch would be to waste a substitution in advance. Klopp said, spreading his hands.
"Physically, Jurgen. But his talent is difficult to practice. This time we really dug up the treasure. ”
"Of course. Klopp said this in a proud tone.
I found this kid myself!
He said in his heart.

After Zhou Yi left the game, the two sides scored another goal, and finally ended with a score of 5:3, with Dortmund winning by two goals.
After the game, Zhou Yi was surrounded not only by Chinese journalists, but also by German journalists.
Zhou Yi's performance in this warm-up match was seen by everyone, and he was the player with the longest game time in the whole team of Dortmund, even if Wolfsburg is counted, he is also the longest. The performance is very outstanding, and it will naturally attract the attention of the media.
The most important thing to know is why all the other players only play half the game, and only he can play the full 60 minutes.
Zhou Yi can't tell everyone that this is because he made a bet with the head coach to talk about it...... It's a shame because he lost the bet.
So he kicked the football to Jurgen Klopp: "This...... I don't know, it's the manager's arrangement, I'm just going to do it. ”
Journalists who want to know the answer to this question will have to go to Klopp.
A German journalist asked: "We all know that you have also performed very well in the youth team in Dortmund, so in your experience, what do you think is the difference between the youth team and the first team?"
Zhou Yi thought for a while and said: "The intensity of the confrontation is greater, and the running requirements are higher......
Another German journalist asked: "We know you're being drawn to the first team for the first time, it's your first game in the first team. But we've noticed that you and your first-team team-mates are working well together and there doesn't seem to be any rust, so why is that?"
"I've been training with you for more than half a month, we know each other very well and are very familiar with each other, everyone is very good to me, and we get along very well. So isn't it normal to have such on-field performance?" Zhou Yi asked rhetorically. Of course, he couldn't tell the other party because he had been training with this group of teammates in the virtual world for I don't know how many days, of course he was very familiar.
When the Chinese reporters saw Zhou Yi answering the questions of the German reporters fluently in German, they all sighed in their hearts that this kid really had the demeanor of a general, who was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of interviews with foreign reporters, and answered all kinds of questions politely and politely.
Most importantly, be confident and take it easy.
It doesn't look like an eighteen-year-old kid, but more like a seasoned veteran!
Why does this kid have such a personality?
He's doing better with the media than many of his domestic internationals......
"I'm getting more and more fond of this kid. A Chinese journalist announced.
"I'll just say it, there is a reason why he was the most popular contestant in the "Green Reality Show" program and not He Ying......" This reporter knew that he was very concerned about the "Green Inheritor" program at the beginning.
"I'm looking forward to the new Bundesliga season now! I think if this trend continues, we will soon see him playing in official matches! After Shao Yijia, there is finally another Chinese player in the Bundesliga!"
The reporters excitedly looked forward to that day.
