Chapter 279: Assist King

Shahin's transfer from Dortmund naturally affected Zhou Yi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Last season, he was the central player of the team's playmaking role with Shahin, but now that Shaheen is gone, what will he do?

Will he be the sole leader, or will there be another person with whom he will share the pressure and responsibility?

This is a question that is of great concern to everyone, especially Chinese fans and journalists.

As Chinese, they certainly want to see Chinese players take the lead in a big team. But reason told them that with Zhou Yi's current physical fitness problems, it was a little unrealistic to take the lead alone.

So there were reporters who were more familiar with Zhou Yi and called directly to ask relevant questions.

"I don't know what the coach thinks, but I listen to the coach. ”

Zhou Yi's answer could not satisfy the reporter, he asked: "Then what do you think yourself? Don't you want to take the lead alone?"

"Absolutely. But it doesn't make sense if I don't want to, I still want the Chinese team to win the World Cup, I think it's useful?" Zhou Yi said.

"Uh......" The reporter who called to ask was speechless.

"In short, it depends on what the manager arranges, I will do what he arranges, and I will naturally know when the time comes, so I am not in a hurry now. In fact, Zhou Yi knew how Klopp arranged it, but he didn't tell these reporters, but chose to hide it.

That's what he thought.

Whether I can really improve my physical fitness level through the special training of this holiday to the point where I can take the lead on my own, I don't know yet.

If you put out the idea that I want to be the core alone next season, but I don't practice well, won't it be a joke at that time?

Cunning...... No, how could the smart Zhou Yi let such a thing happen?

So he chose to hide it now, and it would be convenient to pretend to be forced when the time came.

Hanging up the phone, Klopp looked at Zhou Yi: "Is the call over?"

"It's over, coach. ”

"Put your phone in your bag and don't answer the phone while you're training. Klopp pointed to the backpack that Zhou Yi was carrying.

"Okay, Coach. Zhou Yi hurriedly ran over and stuffed his mobile phone into his schoolbag.

Next, the physical trainer Bartlett said to Zhou Yi: "Get ready, Zhou Yi, this training may be different from the training you have received before......

"What's different?" Zhou Yi asked.

Bartlett didn't answer the question, but asked Zhou Yi rhetorically: "What do you think of last season's pre-season training?"

Zhou Yi glanced at Klopp standing next to him, and then said, "Can you tell the truth?"

"Of course. Bartlett smiled.

"Uh, hell......" Zhou Yi said, curling his neck.

Last season's pre-season training camp really left a very deep impression on Zhou Yi, and it was unbearable to look back on......

Hearing Zhou Yi give an answer that was not surprising, Bartlet and Klopp glanced at each other, and both of them smiled.

Then Klopp straightened his face and said to Zhou Yi: "Hell? That's just the first five layers of hell." Now get ready to see the tenth layer of Hell. ”

Hearing Klopp say this, Zhou Yi opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened: "This, is it too late for me to give up now, coach?"

Klopp's eyes widened: "What do you want? hell is a place where you can come and go when you want?

He kicked Zhou Yi's ass, and Zhou Yi jumped up with his butt as if he had been really kicked, and ran onto the court.

"Warm up!" Klopp shouted behind him.

In this way, when Zhou Yi's teammates left Dortmund one after another to start their holiday journey, Zhou Yi's special training during the holiday also began.

※※※

While Zhou Yi was undergoing his unknown special training, the Bundesliga season officially ended.

Borussia Dortmund's performance this season can be described as ups and downs, and at the beginning of the season, the performance was very bad, and everyone once thought that Dortmund would play in the Bundesliga next season.

But the sign of the change was Shahin's injury, and after Shahin's injury, Zhou Yi took his place and led the team to a wave of winning streaks. Then Shaheen returned from injury, and Klopp took the opportunity to launch a dual-core strategy, and after a short run-in, the dual-core functioned normally, helping the team to win one after another.

In the end, Dortmund fixed their season ranking at second place.

They qualified for next season's Champions League!

You know, at the beginning of the season, Klopp's goal for the team was only to qualify for next season's Europa League.

Unexpectedly, the final result was far better than he imagined.

And the reason why Dortmund can have such a change in performance is inseparable from one person.

Zhou Yi, as a young player who has been drawn to the first team this season, has had a fantastic season.

Halfway through, he performed well beyond expectations.

Since the 14th round of the league, away to Hoffenheim, no matter whether he started or substituted, he has not missed any of the next league games of Dortmund, making 21 league appearances, scoring two goals and assists...... Fourteen times!

This number also makes Zhou Yi the assist king of the Bundesliga this season!

Behind him is a large number of famous players, Ozil, Misimovic and Marin, all of whom rank second in the assist list with 12 assists.

So after the end of the season, Zhou Yi also received a lot of attention.

Borussia Dortmund's local Ruhr News newspaper believes Zhou Yi is the Bundesliga's "biggest discovery of the season".

"Kicker" also has a very high evaluation of Zhou Yi, "...... In him (Zhou Yi), we can see the shadow of those great passers in history, this young Chinese has a talent far beyond ordinary people, he may still lack in technical and physical aspects, but his mental quality allows him to have more room for improvement in the future......"

"Bild" called Zhou Yi's final results "incredible": "He only played 21 games, and many of them were replaced in advance at the age of 60 or 70 minutes, but even so, he still made 14 assists! If he could be given a full season, he would be able to play the whole game in every game...... It's hard to imagine what he will achieve in the end! Dortmund can have the last result of the season, and Zhou Yi is inseparable!"

For Chinese fans, after the end of the season, what they like to see most is the evaluation of Zhou Yi's performance this season in these media.

The Chinese media are naturally very clear, so they have translated the evaluation of Zhou Yi by foreign media, and at the same time they have also evaluated Zhou Yi's performance.

Of course, the Chinese media may be accustomed to inferiority, even when praising Zhou Yi, they do not forget to "be prepared for danger in times of peace", and make an outlook for Zhou Yi's performance in the next season, and this prospect is full of worries.

“...... While we are happy with Zhou Yi's performance this season, we must not forget that this result is based on Zhou Yi's first appearance in the Bundesliga, and everyone is not very familiar with him. Many rookies have had a great performance in their first season, but their performance has dropped in the second season, which is commonly known as the 'rookie wall'. Of course, we don't want Zhou Yi to encounter the 'rookie wall', but we must also see that Zhou Yi's current shortcomings are still very obvious, that is, his body and technology.

Physically, Zhou Yi's physical fitness and strength are obvious shortcomings, and Dortmund will have to fight on two fronts next season, which requires very high physical fitness. In addition, the Champions League is different from the Bundesliga, in the Champions League, the physical confrontation is more intense, which also puts forward higher requirements for Zhou Yi's strength......

In terms of technology, Zhou Yi's short passing technology is very good, but it seems too simple. Only short passes, long passes are not good. Aside from passing, his other abilities are very average, and he is rarely seen dribbling away from people, and his speed is not very fast...... These are the problems that Zhou Yi does have.

If such a problem cannot be effectively solved, once the opponents have thoroughly studied Zhou Yi's characteristics, he may be targeted by the opponent in the game, and his performance will fluctuate...... Of course, we all hope that Zhou Yi's career will be smooth sailing, but to be honest, such a possibility is very small, and anyone has to suffer setbacks and failures to become stronger. Therefore, I sincerely hope that Zhou Yi will not be carried away by the excellent performance in the first season, soberly recognize his shortcomings, and work hard to improve. You know, he's not playing for himself, behind him, there are tens of millions of Chinese fans watching him......"

Zhou Jianliang slapped the newspaper the table.

Li Cuiyun next to her wondered: "What's wrong?"

"Hmph, dare to look down on my son!" Zhou Jianliang said indignantly.

Li Cuiyun picked up the newspaper and read it, and then said, "What people say is also the truth." Zhou Yi does have these problems. ”

"Yes, there is, but isn't my son trying to solve these problems now? Otherwise, he won't even be able to return home!" Zhou Jianliang was still not convinced.

The reporter didn't know. Li Cuiyun is still relatively calm.

"Okay...... Wait until the new season surprises them!" Zhou Jianliang snorted. "It's a shame I won't be able to see their expressions then......"

Li Cuiyun grinned when she saw that her husband was still competing with the media: "Childish." ”
