Chapter 379: It's No Problem
Although there is a lot of speculation out there now, some of them are already terrifying, and they are panicking Dortmund and Zhou Yi's supporters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Zhou Yi seemed very calm and didn't worry about any problems.
Because he got the same answer from both Cortana and Dr. Braun.
And he himself did feel that his body was improving, and it was getting better very quickly.
So when Zhou Yi went to the training base the next day, when he was surrounded by fans and reporters, he said that his injury was not a big deal.
"I'm sure I won't miss the two legs against Real Madrid, just a slight strain. But to be on the safe side, I don't train with the team for the time being. ”
Facing everyone's concerned gazes, Zhou Yi said, his expression was relaxed.
Hearing Zhou Yi's explanation and looking at Zhou Yi's expression, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't look like Zhou Yi is lying.
Later, the club's official statement also came out, which said that Zhou Yi's muscle strain was the least slight, so it would not have any impact on the next games and Zhou Yi's future career, and if everything went well, Zhou Yi would not miss a single game. Whether it's the league match with Hannover 96 or the Champions League quarter-finals with Real Madrid.
Zhou Yi's own answer, coupled with the official statement, finally made everyone's heart fall back to the stomach temporarily.
However, there will still be some people who are always worried, they are worried that the club and Zhou Yi are covering up the real injury. They have a point, as the next crucial moment for Borussia Dortmund is the Champions League to reach the quarter-finals and the league is in the sprint.
At this time, the importance of Zhou Yi is self-evident.
So if Zhou Yi is injured, I am afraid it will also affect the morale and confidence of other Dortmund players, which will affect the performance of the entire team.
For such considerations, it is not impossible for Dortmund officials to conceal Zhou Yi's true injury......

No matter what the outside world speculated about Zhou Yi's injury, Zhou Yi himself was proceeding step by step according to the rehabilitation training plan given to him by the team medical team.
Five days later, he didn't feel any muscle discomfort at all, so he was cleared to go back to the team and train with the team.
When he first started training, Zhou Yi himself was still very concerned and tried not to make too many movements in training.
Two days later, Zhou Yi felt that his body should have almost recovered, and then he began to gradually increase the amount.
Training also tends to be normal.
However, I also have to thank that there was no game for two weeks to allow Zhou Yi to recover so calmly.
In training, Zhou Yi gradually regained his form, and Klopp had no worries about letting Zhou Yi play in the next league game.
So on April 2, in the 28th round of the league, Dortmund hosted Hannover 96, and Zhou Yi appeared in the starting list.
Before the game, the Chinese media paid special attention to what Zhou Yi would be in this game, whether he would be a starter or a substitute. Some people analyze that Klopp may not let Zhou Yi start, after all, he was injured before and did not train with the team for a full week, and the subsequent training was gradually returned to normal.
Considering the training and just recovering from injury, Zhou Yi should be put on the bench list and wait for the right time before coming off the bench.
Unexpectedly, Klopp actually put Zhou Yi directly in the starting lineup!
I don't know if Dortmund is really inseparable from Zhou Yi, or if Zhou Yi's state has really recovered......
The final answer is that Dortmund really needs Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi's form has indeed recovered.
Zhou Yi provided an assist in the game, helping the team beat Hannover 96 4-0. He played 75 minutes in the game and when he was substituted, the Dortmund crowd stood up and applauded him for his performance.
Zhou Yi's performance is indeed worthy of such treatment from the fans.
Although he only has one assist, there are two other goals that are indirectly related to him.
And his most important role in midfield is to sort out the team's attack, so that Dortmund has a clear direction when attacking, and everyone involved in the attack knows what they have to do and how to do it.
It's a hassle-free feeling. It's as if the most complex things have been solved for them by powerful supercomputers, and all they have to do is click a mouse.
This supercomputer is Zhou Yi.
After this game, the local media in Dortmund hailed Zhou Yi's perfect return.
Now they have the confidence to face Real Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund beat Hannover at home, while Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich also beat their opponents in their respective competitions, so the league situation has not changed much, with Dortmund still in top of the table with five points and Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich not far behind.
Now, Dortmund are looking to focus on the Champions League.
In the first leg of the quarter-finals, they are away to Real Madrid.
The away and then the host is a good schedule for Borussia Dortmund.
But Klopp is not optimistic.
Real Madrid have been reborn under Jose Mourinho this season, especially in the Champions League, or to put it more clearly - especially at home in the Champions League.
Real Madrid have won all of their home games in the Champions League this season without conceding a single goal!
In the group stage, they defeated Ajax 2-0, AC Milan 2-0 and Auxerre 4-0 in the three home games, and in the quarter-finals, they drew 1-1 away to Lyon in the first leg, and returned to their home stadiums to beat their opponents 3-0 and knock out the Champions League sufferers for many years.
Such a perfect performance turned Real Madrid's home stadium into the devil's home stadium.
In the league, Mourinho has not lost at home to Real Madrid so far.
This shows how dangerous Dortmund's challenging journey is.
In the face of such an opponent, Klopp was given only three days to prepare, which he felt was too short......
Despite this, he gave the players who participated in the match against Hannover a half-day off so that they could come to the team for training in the morning and come back in the afternoon.
Then, two days before the game, the team arrived in Madrid by plane.
The media also reported on the arrival of the entire Dortmund team in Madrid, and Zhou Yi was the core of the team, with the most close-ups.
If it had been left on hold, this treatment alone would have been enough to excite the Chinese media and fans.
But now, no one will think that Zhou Yi has nothing to make a fuss about enjoying such treatment, what is there to show off, this is what Zhou Yi deserves.
They're more concerned about the practical stuff now, which is what the next game will look like.
The big battle with Real Madrid is already on the verge of breaking out.

Borussia Dortmund's away game against Real Madrid was the first of the Champions League quarter-finals.
At the same time, Schalke 04 played away to Inter Milan.
At the pre-match press conference, a reporter mentioned Zhou Yi's previous injury and asked Klopp if it would affect Dortmund's performance in this game.
In this regard, Klopp gave a negative answer: "Zhou Yi's injury is very slight, and now he has fully recovered from his injury, which will not affect this game." He's also in great form, just look at the last game against Hannover. ”
What about Zhou Yi himself?
"I don't think there's anything wrong with my physical condition. Zhou Yi said the same.
So, in the match against Real Madrid, Zhou Yi naturally appeared in the ...... in the starting line-up of the game.

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid are known for playing defensive counter-attacks, and their quick counter-attacks are jaw-dropping.
But that's when you're dealing with a strong team, and when you're not playing against a team that's not as strong as them, they don't use counter-attacking tactics.
This team can also press the opponent to play positional battles.
In this game, Real Madrid did not choose to play defensive counterattacks from the beginning of the game, but decisively pressed on, constantly pressuring Dortmund's penalty area, and launched a fierce offensive like a tide.
They entered the game so quickly that the Dortmund players did not expect it.
In the cheers of Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu, in just five minutes, Real Madrid's center forward Adebayor, who is on loan from Manchester City this season, opened the scoring for Real Madrid, giving Real Madrid a good start!
