In the next game, Xavi did not forget to observe Zhou Yi while combing the Barcelona midfield. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was really curious about this young man who was said to have the same style of play as him.

In today's highly media-driven society, it's not that hard to see a person play. So Xavi also knows Zhou Yi, and has seen some of Zhou Yi's game video highlights, and he also thinks that Zhou Yi's playing style is indeed somewhat similar to his own.

But is this an elaborate imitation, or is it the result of pure nature?

Harvey thinks it's hard to understand through the TV screen, and I'm afraid it's better to get up close. Then playing against him is naturally the best way to observe.

Because he can experience Zhou Yi's football in person in the closest place to Zhou Yi.

With the observation, Xavi felt more and more that Zhou Yi knew Barcelona very deeply, he was very familiar with Barcelona's tactical play, and understood the characteristics and styles of almost every Barcelona player.

This level of understanding surprised Harvey.

He has been training and playing with this team for so many years, and he has been educated and trained in the philosophy of Barcelona football in La Masia's academy since he was a child, and the philosophy of Barcelona football has been integrated into his genes, and it is normal for him to know Barcelona well.

But why does Zhou Yi know so much?

Whether it is for Zhou Yi or for Barcelona, they should be strangers to each other.

Because this is the first meeting between the two sides.

Zhou Yi is a rising midfield star who is becoming more and more famous in European football, and he can be regarded as quite famous. But in fact, before Barcelona players met Dortmund in the Champions League, they didn't know much about Zhou Yi, and they were limited to some rumors. After all, no one will have nothing to do with a player who has nothing to do with them, and they are not fans of Zhou Yi......

The name of "Cosmos Team" Barcelona is naturally thunderous. There are many people who know and understand Barcelona, but those who can understand such a degree, except for themselves, the rest of the people are probably counted on two hands, and Zhou Yi is one of these very few.

Xavi couldn't understand the situation at all, and he felt that there was only one reason why Zhou Yi knew so much about Barcelona - and that was that Zhou Yi had really put a lot of effort into studying Barcelona.

And that kind of kung fu shouldn't happen to a player. It's normal to appear in a coach, such as Real Madrid's current head coach Jose Mourinho, he must have put a lot of effort into studying Barcelona, that's because he is now the head coach of Real Madrid, as Barcelona's rival, in order to beat Barcelona, of course he must have a deep enough understanding of this team. Mourinho also worked for FC Barcelona when he was younger, he knows and is familiar with Barcelona's football philosophy and philosophy, and he is even regarded as a "traitor" by some radical Barcelona fans.

But Zhou Yi is an ordinary player, he has not been trained in Barcelona at all before, why does he know so much about Barcelona?

Thinking about it, there is only one reason that makes sense - Zhou Yi likes Barcelona's football style and philosophy too much, and studies and understands it because of his love. It's like a fan who will always try his best to know all the circumstances of his idol, and he can't wait to know the details of what position he sleeps in and whether he snores or not.

Zhou Yi's approach is very much in line with a fan's performance in the face of idols.

After coming to such a conclusion, Harvey suddenly thought about a few years later. Although his recent form has been quite good, he is still 32 years old, and as a player, he will definitely leave this stadium, whether it is retirement or transfer, he must leave. At that point, who will be their successor and who will fit perfectly into Barcelona's football system?

Harvey already has a candidate in mind.

He thinks that as long as the two clubs of Barcelona and Dortmund can agree on the transfer fee, then there is no obstacle for Zhou Yi to transfer to Barcelona?

You said he rejected Barcelona before the game?

When that kind of sensitive, if you don't say no, it's a problem, right?

But this rejection does not mean a real rejection, which is completely different from rejecting Barcelona in the transfer market.

Xavi is a pure Barcelona man who thinks more than he is a player for the future of Barcelona......

However, Harvey still misestimated Zhou Yi.

Because Zhou Yi's understanding of Barcelona is definitely not because he is a fan of Barcelona football philosophy and crazy research on Barcelona football.

It's because Zhou Yi has a very powerful simulation system, he has played more than 100 games with Barcelona in this virtual space, and he can also intuitively understand the player's ability by looking at the opponent's player data.

So how could he not know Barcelona?

Just like the previous moment, although Messi is on the right side of the field, he will often move to the middle, and in the process of lateral dribbling, if he encounters an interception, he will have three options - passing, shooting and passing.

Gundogan's collision just now left Messi with only one option: passing. If he were going to pass the ball, nine times out of ten he would pass the ball to his left Iniesta.

This "Messi corridor" is almost tired of watching in the virtual match between Zhou Yi and Barcelona......

So this understanding has nothing to do with Zhou Yi's appreciation of Barcelona's football philosophy.

Regarding football with Barcelona, Zhou Yi can't talk about loving or hating it. Although his style of play is very similar to Barcelona's pass-and-control football, Zhou Yi does not take Barcelona football lightly.

He believes that Barcelona's football philosophy is just one of the many football philosophies that have actually been built up to date, and there is nothing special about it.

For him, the most beautiful thing about the world of football is that there are many teams with different styles, playing different football tactics, and all of them can succeed, not saying that only Barcelona football in this world can win the championship. Teams that insist on counter-attacking, all-out offense, and bus-up tactics can also succeed through hard work.

Just like nature, if this world only allows flowers of one color, then how boring and boring spring must be......

In fact, Zhou Yi showed his familiarity with Barcelona, not only Xavi, but even the commentators.

Because on several occasions in defence, he was in the right position at key moments, intercepting Barcelona's passes. It was like a dam that blocked the narrowest part of the river in Barcelona and controlled the flow of the city......

It was very uncomfortable for Barcelona.

After seeing Zhou Yi's performance, He Ping said: "For Zhou Yi, Barcelona seems to have become their 'most familiar stranger', and his understanding of Barcelona is amazing!"

Marcel Leif was also surprised by Zhou Yi's performance: "Zhou Yi is almost like a Barcelona player in a Borussia Dortmund shirt......"

The Catalan commentator was even more speechless and did not know how to explain the phenomenon.

Guardiola saw Zhou Yi's performance off the field, and suddenly thought of the report, saying that Zhou Yi and La Masia passed by.

Now it seems that Garcia, the technical director of La Masia, really has a vision. Such a player, it is really a good fit for us Barcelona.

He was born to play for Barcelona.

But alas, now he is wearing the Dortmund shirt and is Barcelona's enemy on the pitch......

At this time, he was somewhat concerned that La Masia did not sign Zhou Yi in the first place.

In the Dortmund coach's bench next door, assistant coach Bouist was also surprised by Zhou Yi's performance: "He didn't have such a performance in the last leg, how did he do it?"

Klopp shrugged: "Hell knows, but I'm glad he had such a performance in this game. ”

With his understanding of Zhou Yi, if he wants to ask why for every performance of him, then I am afraid that he will not even be able to sleep well.

※※※

Because Zhou Yi's defensive performance greatly exceeded the expectations of the Barcelona players, now the Barcelona players have to choose long passes or fast passes more amusemently in order to get rid of Zhou Yi's interception of their passes. First of all, long balls are not in line with Barcelona's football philosophy, they are not proficient. Second, increasing the speed of passing means increasing passing errors, which is inevitable even for a team like Barcelona that has the advantage of passing the ball.

So in the first half, Barcelona's attack in the first half was very unfluent, very not "Barcelona".

As a result, they were unable to open the Dortmund goal and equalise until the end of the first half.

When the first half ended with Barcelona trailing by one goal, many people were surprised. Before the game, everyone expected Barcelona to take the lead in the first half at home, but now the reality is completely opposite to their prediction, which really shatters the glasses of many people......
