Chapter 33 Patience is a traditional virtue

Genki Boy is training every day with full vitality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The team is also actively preparing for the new season.

After the German Super Cup, the Bundesliga is not far away.

Because there is a World Cup next summer, the national team will train before the World Cup, so the league must leave enough time for the national team to train, so this season's league starts earlier and ends earlier, and the mid-season schedule is relatively more intensive.

The new Bundesliga season kicks off on 9 August, with defending champions Borussia Dortmund taking on Augsburg in the first match.

The opponent is not very strong, but Dortmund is playing away, plus the first league game, what kind of form the players can show, it is still unknown.

However, since the Super Cup with Bayern Munich, the voices in Germany have been much less skeptical and critical of Dortmund, and only the Munich media are still insisting that the performance and results of the Super Cup do not say anything.

Before the Super Cup, the same media believed that the Super Cup victory would be able to foreshadow the different prospects of Dortmund and Bayern Munich this season......

Guardiola, on the other hand, admitted more than his media friends that after losing the Super Cup, he admitted in an interview with reporters that his team's performance was not as good as Dortmund's, and it was normal to lose games. At the same time, he admits that he is still learning about this new league and everything about this league.

August 9, the first round of the league.

Borussia Dortmund travel to Augsburg.

The day before, Klopp announced the eighteen players who will travel with the team, and there is no Yan Min among them. Although Chinese journalists and fans are concerned about the issue and want Yan Min to be in the 18-man squad, Klopp told the delusional Chinese media and fans with the harsh reality that they are thinking too much.

Mr. Zhou was then surrounded by Chinese reporters who wanted him to talk about Yan Min's failure to make the list of 18.

This time, Zhou Yi, who has always been polite to the media, unceremoniously criticized the bad attitude of the media: "...... Yan Min has only just arrived at Dortmund, and he hasn't even been training with the team for two weeks, and he hasn't played even a minute of warm-up games for Dortmund, so isn't it normal that he wasn't selected for the league's eighteen-man squad?"

"Your attention, I don't think it's about caring for and supporting the players, it's more like a kind of pressure, like parents who say in their children's ears all day long, 'If you don't study well, you're sorry for our parenting', it's useless, or it's only counterproductive. What kind of child have you ever seen who can learn well because his parents say this kind of thing all day long? Whether a player can play or not is an objective law, even if the training state is good, it depends on the coach's tactical arrangement, how can there be such an absolute thing?

"I remember when I was in the first team of Dortmund, you were like this, right? I don't think Yan Min can live under the spotlight and magnifying glass of the media and the public now, if you really support Yan Min, you should give him more space and patience, don't care when he enters the 18-man squad, when he comes off the bench, when he starts these issues, it comes naturally, and he will naturally play when he should play, just like I did at the beginning. I really don't want you to ask me and the coach similar questions in the future, and of course, don't ask Yan Min - I know what you want to do, Yan Min's temper, what he said is good material for your hype. But that's not good for the players, it's very bad. ”

Zhou Yi's expression was very serious when he said this, and there was no hippie smile, which made the reporters a little uncomfortable and embarrassed - they really didn't expect Zhou Yi to be able to train people with a straight face.

But think about it again, with Zhou Yi's current status and achievements, it seems that he has been trained by him...... There's nothing wrong with that.

After Dortmund lost Gotze and Lewandowski successively, Zhou Yi's position in the team has become more and more stable.

After saying these words with a straight face, Zhou Yi regained everyone's familiar smile, and then said: "I said so much to you today, I hope that the players and reporters can maintain a good relationship in the future, we have cooperated very well in foreign countries over the years, everyone has been stationed abroad for a long time, and it is very hard to see your family, if you don't do well in your work, isn't it a loss? When I was promoted to the first team, there were a lot of people who were anxious about me and kept asking the coach questions about when I would be able to play. I know it's all for my good, but I'm well aware of myself that as a player, waiting is a must. If you don't have patience, impetuousness won't help players seize their chances and succeed. You also interviewed Yang Muge, in my opinion, Lao Yang is an excellent representative of patience. As a result, they are now in Schalke 04 and are the main force that cannot be beaten. No matter which coach he changes, I'm sure he can get a foothold in Schalke 04. ”

Zhou Yi's words were really published by the media, but some media published the original text without changing a word, and some media were excerpts. But either way, they all wrote a commentary article based on Zhou Yi's words, reflected on their own practices, and the media vision was larger, reminiscent of the current situation of Chinese football.

“...... China's domestic league is thriving, and there is a trend of surpassing the Japanese and Korean leagues. We have a lot of money to burn, world-class stars who couldn't have thought of it before, and the league attendance is rising, topping Asia...... The Chinese national team also entered the World Cup finals again in history, and the national Olympic team won the Olympic gold medal...... Everything looks very good, like flowers blooming and cooking oil on fire. But all these beautiful scenes seem to make us impetuous, and lose our normalcy and patience.

I think there is a lot of chance in the performance of Chinese football today. Not to mention the league, let's talk about the achievements of the national team, Zhou Yi's rise is like a meteor suddenly appearing in the night sky, although it is brilliant and dazzling, but everyone knows that this cannot be eternal, their group of 'golden generation' appeared very suddenly, and after their peak period has passed, what awaits us? If we are only immersed in the dream brought by a group of talented players, then Chinese football will never be able to get out of the bottom.

I think it's time to calm down and do some 'reforestation' work. Thanks to Zhou Yi and them, they have brought more attention to Chinese football, because of Zhou Yi and them, the image and reputation of football in China are getting better, and maybe more parents will want their children to play football in the future. But by that time, will we football workers be ready? Will we have more football fields? Will we have more principals who are willing to let football into schools? Will we have more high-level football schools? Will we have more grassroots coaches who are willing to devote themselves to youth football training? Will we have football people like Xu Genbao who are willing to work an island for ten years to sharpen their swords?

If there is no these, then Zhou Yi and them are shooting stars, and after crossing the sky, what is left for Chinese football is still the dark night sky. After enjoying a period of pleasure, Chinese fans will endure endless pain - there is a precedent, think about 12 years ago when we reached the World Cup, when the whole country celebrated, everyone thought that the spring of Chinese football had arrived, but the reality was very cruel. Enjoying joy without being prepared for it is destined to be temporary.

Therefore, I call on our football people, not only journalists and fans, but also administrators, to take this opportunity to vigorously improve the football environment in our country, to implement policies that are conducive to the development of football in primary and secondary schools, and to let football culture take root in this society. In this way, Chinese football can 'rely on the strength of the wind to send me to the clouds'......"

Zhou Yi himself probably didn't expect that his words would lead to such a strategic commentary article, and this article was not published in the general media, but in the "People's Daily", which is a commentator's article of the People's Daily!

This specification is so high that it is not Zhou Yi's influence alone that can decide to make the People's Daily do this.

Maybe Zhou Yi is just an introduction, a medicine introduction, and really behind the scenes, some people in the upper echelons want to take this opportunity to say something, to try the domestic public opinion reaction, and to explore the way for other new policies in the future.

After all, in today's China, everyone knows that the new one likes football......
