Chapter Eighty-Eight: What Really Matters
The domestic Internet has turned the sky upside down, and even Yan Min has heard a little rumor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So the next day, when Zhou Yi went to the Bracker training base to train, Yan Min took the initiative to find him and said to Zhou Yi with an apologetic attitude: "Zhou Yi, did I say the wrong thing?"
Zhou Yi glanced at him: "The words are right, the occasion for speaking is wrong." ”
Yan Min looked at Zhou Yi incomprehensibly.
"You shouldn't say that in front of a journalist. Zhou Yi said. "It's up to you to shoot or not, no one can decide for you, if you feel right and you are confident, then shoot, even if it's from a zero angle, it doesn't matter. But in front of the media, you just lost the game, so you better clamp your tail a little bit......"
Yan Min scratched his head, he really didn't think about it that much when answering those questions, he just said what he thought. Losing is really unpleasant, but he does not regret his original choice, shooting is a very risky thing, if you succeed, you will become famous with a goal, but if you fail, you may be scolded, this is a risk that must be taken to become famous......
"Then do I need to explain it to the reporter again?" Yan Min hesitated.
"Not really. Zhou Yi waved his hand. "It's good that you keep the current stunned setting, haha!"
After laughing, Zhou Yi said: "Okay, don't worry about this, it doesn't matter what the outside world says, the most important thing is your performance." If you can show a persuasive performance in the future, the people who scold you now will sing praises for you, and it's not a big deal. So you still have to follow the previous rhythm and train well. ”
"Oh, oh, good!" Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Yan Min became happy again.
Although Zhou Yi asked Yan Min not to explain, Zhou Yi felt that he still had to explain this matter, but he had to come forward to explain it himself. Because of Yan Min's mouth...... The more you explain it, the worse it gets.
But before he could go to the media, the media found him first.
There are two main concerns about the first is whether he can start the Ruhr derby at the weekend - after losing the Champions League, some people think why Klopp didn't take Zhou Yi to London, because the next thing is the Ruhr derby, and in Klopp's opinion, the Ruhr derby may be more important than a Champions League group stage. But if Zhou Yi can't play in the Ruhr derby, won't it be pointless to lose to Arsenal?
The second question is naturally related to Yan Min, asking him what he thinks of Yan Min's choice to shoot instead of passing the ball at the last minute of the game, and how he thinks of Yan Min's answer when he returned to the reporter's question at the airport.
Regarding the first question, Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "I don't know if I can play in the Ruhr derby, I hope I can, but this matter is not up to me, it is the coaching staff and the team medical team." I obey the coaching staff's arrangement, I will play if I am allowed to play, and I will not make trouble if I am not allowed to play. ”
It's all said in a thoughtful style - it sounds right, but it's all nonsense. It doesn't attract journalists at all, and gives the media room for hype. This kind of scene can only be repeated by reporters according to the script, and they can't interpret it.
On the second question, Zhou Yi shrugged his shoulders and gave a surprise answer to reporters: "I don't think there's anything wrong with what Yan Min said. ”
"Huh?" A group of people were stunned -- Zhou Yi openly supported Yan Min's statement and practice? Didn't he always emphasize the overall situation and collective interests? How did he support Yan Min?
But everyone thinks about it, they are all Chinese players, and it's normal to maintain each other, right? In private, Zhou Yi may have already drenched Yan Min's scolding dog, but in front of media reporters, he still has to give his little junior brother a little face......
But they were wrong, Zhou Yi didn't scold Yan Min, but came to scold them.
"What's wrong with shooting as an attacking player?" he asked reporters. "What would you think if an attacking player didn't even dare to shoot the goal when facing the goal? If he passed the ball in the end, but no one else scored, would you still be able to criticize Yan Min for passing the ball as shirking responsibility and not taking responsibility?"
A group of reporters didn't expect Zhou Yi to scold them, and they couldn't say anything when they were asked.
"It's the responsibility of the whole team to lose, it shouldn't be one person. I thought everyone understood this truth......" Zhou Yi said with a smile. But in the eyes of reporters, this smile is a bit sarcastic in it. But they dared to scold Yan Min in person, but they didn't dare to scold Zhou Yi in person, there were reporters who did not believe in evil in the past who wanted to anger Zhou Yi and become famous, but they were embarrassed by Zhou Yi and thrown abroad, and since then they have walked around when they see Zhou Yi, they don't want to follow in his footsteps......
"No one in the team's locker room accused Yan Min of making the wrong choice in the end, and no one felt that Yan Min was responsible for losing. I wasn't busy wiping Yan Min's ass either. I appreciate your concern for me, but the reality is that what you feared is not happening. Of course, Zhou Yi still saved some face for the reporter, and he didn't say too much.
"I hope you don't listen to the wind and the rain, it's not a big deal. It's his freedom whether Yan Min shoots or not, and it's also his freedom whether he shoots next time, and I think he can clearly judge when he should and shouldn't, and you don't have to worry about this kind of thing - I don't worry about it. We lost two of our three games in the Champions League group stage, so it's true that the situation is not in our favour, but with three more group games, we still have chances, so I'm not pessimistic. ”
"I know there are concerns that Yan Min's last shot will affect his opinion of Klopp and make it difficult for him to get another chance to play...... I can understand your feelings, but I don't think that's going to happen. Jurgen Klopp is a great manager and he knows how to manage young players in particular. ”
In the end, Zhou Yi also patted Klopp's ass, if this interview report would be seen by Klopp, maybe he really wouldn't be wearing colored glasses to look at Yan Min......
In fact, there is no need for Zhou Yi to pat himself on the back, and Klopp does not intend to put the pot of losing on Yan Min's head.
In the post-match press conference, he said that the loss was not the responsibility of any one person.
He also did not continue to delve into the question of whether Yan Min should shoot or not.
The loss puts him under pressure, but there are more important things waiting for him to deal with than caring about such trivial things.
The next game is the Ruhr derby against Schalke 04.
With the current state of the whole team of Dortmund, this time to challenge Schalke 04 away, it is not the result of more than one luck.
If you lose two in a row, you're in big trouble.
And the most crucial problem in defeating Schalke 04 is...... Can Zhou Yi play.

"Can Zhou Yi appear this time?" Zolke asked, staring at Dr. Braun as if he could eat Braun if he didn't give him an answer that satisfied him.
Dr. Braun didn't look at Zolke, but nodded and said, "This time." ”
When Zolke heard this, he laughed, and his eyes softened much more.
But instead Klopp stared at Braun.
Braun raised his hand, "I know what you want to ask." Rest assured, I was not pressured by Zolke to make a decision against my will. Because he didn't go to London, Zhou Yi got enough rest, and his physical condition was already enough to meet the requirements of playing. But if he had gone to London, he might not have been able to catch up with Schalke 04......"
"Will he be able to start?" Klopp didn't look relaxed, and he continued to ask.
"You can start, but you can't play the whole game. Braun replied.
"Good. Klopp nodded.
With the professional advice given by the team leader, he knew what to do.
Zorge is still happy, even if he can't play the whole game, it's okay. This is undoubtedly good news for Dortmund, who have just lost the Champions League group stage.
He couldn't wait to announce the news: "Then I'll ask the official website to send a press release saying that Zhou Yi will make a comeback against Schalke 04?"
"No problem. Dr. Braun nodded.
But Klopp objected: "No, don't do it yet. ”
"Why?" Zolke was surprised.
Isn't that a good thing? Shouldn't a good thing be publicized?
"I've noticed that the media is now speculating about whether Zhou Yi can participate in the derby, and there are a lot of worried voices, and it seems that Zhou Yi and Gundogan are linked together, thinking that they are both in the same trouble...... Klopp said. "I think if these media reports can make Schalke 04 really think that Zhou Yi will be difficult to play in the derby...... That's good, let them report it like that. ”
Zolke rolled his eyes and understood what Klopp was going to do: "Are you going to cast a little smoke bomb on Schalke 04 before the game?"
Klopp nodded: "Yes." So I hope everyone will cooperate and unify the voice to the outside world - let's just say that we don't know if Zhou Yi will be able to make a comeback in the match against Schalke 04......"
"There's a problem. Braun interjected. "What about training? I can't let Zhou Yi ...... in training."
"Training is the same as usual, he's been training with the team for more than a week. ”
"What should I do when the team is in a group game? I always have to run in the main lineup, right? At that time, everyone can see which side Zhou Yi will be divided into. There are so many people on the team, do you want to gag the whole team?"
"Why not?" Klopp asked rhetorically.
"Uh......" Braun was speechless.
"Shut them all up if they want to win. Of course, the intra-team group stage is not important, and there is no fixed main group. So it's hard to see if Zhou Yi will play on this. Even if we put Zhou Yi on the bench, does that mean he won't play?" Klopp further explained.
In order to be able to defeat Schalke 04, he also took great pains. If it's the first two seasons, you don't have to be so troublesome at all, just train normally, and you don't have to engage in these intrigues.
But now, Dortmund is not in a good situation, and Klopp has to be a little more cautious, use his brain more and think of a way.
He's already feeling the team dipping from the top......
