At noon the next day, Zhou Yi returned to Bracker's training base from Borussia Mönchengladbach with the whole team. The others www.biquge.info drove back to their respective homes, and only Zhou Yi ran back to his residence by himself.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by Hannah, but Zhou Yi's first reaction was...... I was taken aback.

Because he saw Hannah in a cheerleading outfit with two plastic tassel balls in his hands, as soon as he opened the door, Hannah jumped up and shouted to him as she danced the balls in her hands, "Welcome to Triumph!"

"Wow!" Zhou Yi leaned back against the door frame in fright, looking frightened.

"What's your expression?" Hannah saw that Zhou Yi was not happy, put down the plastic ball in his hand, and pouted.

"Look, I just said it doesn't make sense for you to do that. Cortana, who was next to her, spread her hands.

"Uh, no, no...... Hannah, I was so surprised, you can welcome it, you can't dress up like this, right?" Zhou Yi, who reacted, hurriedly explained.

"Isn't it pretty?" Hannah turned around, her short skirt was raised, and the sharp-eyed Zhou Yi noticed that the pants under Hannah's short skirt were ...... White.

"Hey, where are your eyes looking?" Zhou Yi's very small movement was still captured by Cortana.

Zhou Yi coughed a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's safety pants. Hannah threw a wink at Zhou Yi, "But if you want, Zhou Yi, it's okay if I don't wear safety pants!"

"Hey!" Zhou Yi was embarrassed and waved his hand again and again.

Seeing Zhou Yi's face flushed, Hannah laughed happily, and then said to Cortana: "The more he looks at it, the cuter he gets, Cortana!"

Then she smiled and went back to her room to change her clothes, and before closing the door, she didn't forget to tease Zhou Yi again: "I'll take off my safety pants!"

Zhou Yi couldn't even speak in front of such an open and vegetarian German girl......

After Hannah closed the door, Cortana looked at Zhou Yi and smiled, "Do you want to see it?"

Zhou Yi waved his hand again and again: "No!"

"Pretend!" Cortana snorted, "And what did you just glance at?"

"That's instinct. Zhou Yi explained.

"Hush. Cortana pursed her lips, disdainful of Zhou Yi's explanation.

"Hey, don't look down on you. Zhou Yi protested. "It is precisely because of this instinct that human beings can continue to multiply, and the human population can grow and develop. I know you hate men with sperm brains, but if it weren't for those men, how could humans be the overlords of the earth now! If humans weren't interested in reproduction like giant pandas, we would have been kept in cages by rats as rare animals!"

"Strong words. Even Cortana, who is eloquent, can only respond with these four words in the face of Zhou Yi's words.

With that, she turned back to the house and closed the door.

Zhou Yi frowned at the back of the closed door and grimaced, but at this time, the door was suddenly opened again, Cortana poked her head out of the crack in the door, and Zhou Yi made a straight face again, looking serious, as if he hadn't done anything before.

"Hannah said I'm going out to dinner in a moment to celebrate for you. You see how nice she is to you. Cortana said.

"I didn't say she treated me badly......" Zhou Yi said. "It's ...... you"

"What's wrong with me?" Cortana tilted her head slightly to look at Zhou Yi.

"It was better for me. Zhou Yi looked serious.

"Hush. Cortana rolled her eyes, "Who's rare." With that, she closed the door to her room again.

Facing the door that had been closed, Zhou Yi made another grimace. Cortana didn't open the door again this time.

Looking at the closed door, Zhou Yi licked his lips, because he suddenly thought of the dinner that Cortana had made for himself just now, and the steak grilled was not far behind the fried steak he had eaten in Mönchengladbach last night......

After Borussia Dortmund's vs Borussia Mönchengladbach, their victory and Barrios' goal were the focus of German media coverage.

“...... Borussia Dortmund won the game......?

Borussia Mönchengladbach's head coach Fronzek was unhappy with the defeat after the game, believing that his team had done well but had been unlucky. 'Barrios only had two chances in this game and he took one of them, which doesn't mean that our defense is bad, it just shows that they were lucky......!'

At the end of the eighth round of the league, Dortmund moved up to 12th place with nine points. They escaped the relegation zone temporarily, although they were also only four points above the relegation zone......"

'Barrios can also breathe a sigh of relief, the controversy that has been going on for a while can disappear for a while, and his goal gave Dortmund a valuable three points and bought him more time for himself......

Zhou Yi, who went to train the next day, saw Barrios in the training base, Barrios took the initiative to give him a hug, and it could be seen that his joy had not passed.

The ninth round of the league starts a week later, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Bochum. In this game, Zhou Yi was taken out of the eighteen-man squad.

Of course, he wasn't alone, because there was Gotze with him......

After the list was announced, Barrios took the initiative to find Zhou Yi to comfort him: "It's a pity, but it doesn't matter, Zhou Yi, as long as you train hard, you will always be able to enter the squad again!"

"Thank you, Lucas. Zhou Yi smiled at Barrios, and then he thought about the last game, so he encouraged Barrios by the way, as a reward for comforting him. "You're going to score tomorrow!"

When Barrios heard this, he also thought about the last game, so he smiled and said, "Are you dreaming again?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Of course." ”

He's not talking nonsense, he's played Bochum a number of times in the system this week, and Barrios did score in those simulated games.

"Thank you for your good words. Barrios patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder.

Coming out of the training base, Zhou Yi called his parents as soon as possible. Since the last game was in the squad, Zhou Jianliang told Zhou Yi that he should inform them in time before each game whether they were in the squad for the next game. If he enters, then no matter what time the game is, and no matter what the chance of Zhou Yi playing, he and his wife will wait.

But if you don't make the list, then you don't have to waste time, it's time to sleep, it's time to work.

"Oh, are you not on the list?" asked Zhou Jianliang on the other end of the phone.

"Hmm. Yes. After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he heard his father sigh. So he comforted: "It's not good if you don't enter, so that you don't have to wait for another game in vain." The day after tomorrow it's Monday in China, right? If you don't have a good rest, what should you do with your mother and go to work?"

"It's not too late to start the game at half past eleven in the evening, it's always earlier than the previous game, right?" Zhou Jianliang was still unwilling.

"Okay, Dad, you can rest in peace. Don't worry about it so much, I feel like you're harder than Klopp. ”

"How's that? I don't care about you kid!"

"Okay, Dad, you're breaking your heart for your son. Can you worry about your son's long-distance phone bill?"

"You're making so much money now, and you're still worried about phone bills? Okay, I'm hanging, but you have to work hard, son!"

"I know, I'm working hard every day!"

The nagging dad finally hung up the phone.

Zhou Yi can naturally feel how disappointed he is from his father's attitude, but he really can't call the shots in this matter, he can't run to threaten Klopp: "If you don't let me play in the first team, then loan me out!"

He is well aware of his current problem, and his lack of fitness will make his performance on the pitch be compromised.

Especially under Jurgen Klopp, who has high defensive requirements, so he must be actively involved in defending in the game, otherwise he will not want to be in the squad even if he is barely up to the fitness standard. And if he wants to defend aggressively, then his fitness is not up to par.

This is a contradiction.

But it's also very simple to solve - just improve your physical fitness.

But it takes time to improve his fitness, and he has been improving his fitness since he came to Dortmund, and he has only met the requirements for entering the first team, and he still has a long way to go before he can compete in the first team.

He also wanted to play as soon as possible, and occasionally he would fantasize that he would be a miracle overnight, and when he woke up, he found that he was physically strong enough to run a full game for 120 minutes tirelessly......

But he knows that fantasy is fantasy after all, and there is no shortcut in terms of physical fitness, only down-to-earth training.

Loading his mobile phone, Zhou Yi tightened his schoolbag and ran towards his residence.

Zhou Yi didn't miss any opportunity to improve his physical fitness, so he is still running to train and running home, just to be able to train his physical fitness to the standard earlier.
