Although Zhou Yi is very confident, everyone still has another interpretation of the confidence he showed - they think that Zhou Yi is deliberately showing confidence, but in fact, he is strong on the outside and on the inside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because no one will believe that Zhou Yi can still be in good shape, he may not even have much time to train with the team, and the targeted training is even less sufficient.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly be in good shape?

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is of this view.

He didn't think Zhou Yi was really as confident as he said.

No matter how it is analyzed, the situation is not favorable to Zhou Yi.

It was a good opportunity for Chelsea and for himself.

Back at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho hopes to put on a 'return of the king' with a title.

He was injured at Real Madrid and Chelsea were willing to accept him, and of course he wanted to bring title and glory to Chelsea.

In the pre-match interview, he was very confident.

"We didn't come all the way to Prague for tourism. He said so.

The implication is that they are here for the Super Cup.

Jurgen Klopp's side also made corresponding arrangements for Zhou Yi's special situation, and his countermeasure was to maintain the original tactical policy unchanged, and did not make some special arrangements for Chelsea because of this game. In this way, there is no problem of re-running-in for the team, and there can be a seamless connection between others and Zhou Yi, which minimizes the impact of Zhou Yi's lack of time to practice together and adapt to the venue.

Of course, there is also a risk in doing so, that is, if Chelsea makes a targeted arrangement, Dortmund will appear to be inadequate, and can only respond to changes with no change, and it is difficult to say whether they can withstand it at that time......

Klopp was worried, but there was no better way.

No one knew that Zhou Yi didn't say big things, nor did he bluff.

Because he's played Chelsea dozens of times in his sleep every night, he's all too familiar with the opponent.

That's what he meant by "sleeping well."

The UEFA Super Cup kicks off at 2.45am on 31 August, the same time as the Champions League starts.

Chinese fans who stay up late to watch the Champions League and La Liga are used to it.

The local time is 8:45 p.m. in Prague - Prague is in the East 1st Zone, and there is a seven-hour time difference between Prague and the East 8th Zone, and now Prague has daylight saving time, so the time difference has been reduced to six hours. For Europeans, this is a suitable time period for watching football.

At 8:45 p.m. in summer, the temperature is not so high, which is suitable for outdoor sports.

This game, because Chelsea eliminated Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 2011-2012 season, is also considered by some media to be Dortmund's revenge battle.

At the beginning of the new season, Dortmund performed well, winning four consecutive games in the league and ranking first in the Bundesliga standings.

Borussia Dortmund, who have gone away from Gotze and Robert Lewandowski, look unaffected, with new signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan also doing well.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have played three league games in the new Premier League season, with two wins and one draw, and are second in second place with seven points.

In the league game that just ended, they drew 0-0 away at Manchester United.

At this time, the "Red Devils" Manchester United had changed its head, and the legendary manager Alex Ferguson retired and was replaced by former Everton manager David Moyes.

Both Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea are unbeaten in their respective leagues and have maintained a decent level of competition.

So before the game even started, everyone was expecting a high-level matchup, just like last season's Champions League final. The confrontation between Dortmund and Bayern Munich made the fans enjoy watching.

However, due to injuries, neither team's starting line-up was at their strongest.

Chelsea captain John Terry rested for the game and Brazilian centre-back Ruiz returned to the starting line-up. While Germany international Schurrle started as a right winger for this game, Mourinho is clearly hoping that Schurrle, who has played in the Bundesliga, can help Chelsea face Borussia Dortmund better.

Borussia Dortmund's side, Gundogan and Piszczek both missed the game due to injury. Although Zhou Yi did not get enough rest, he was still arranged to start. Another Chinese player, Yan Min, is in the bench lineup, but the hope of wanting to play is very slim - this game is not a league, there is no regulation on the number of substitutes, theoretically, both teams can move the entire first team over, so many substitute players, but there are only three substitutions, so Yan Min wants to play, the probability is not large.

Now the Chinese media is not very concerned about whether Yan Min can play in this game. They have seen the reality in a few games – Yan Min is not on Klopp's list of mind, and he is far from being a part of his requirements...... Being able to train at a high level in Dortmund is already very good for Yan Min.

Players from both sides walked out of the pitch to the cheers of the fans, and then lined up to take pictures, shake hands with each other, and guess sides......

After all the necessary procedures, they stood in their positions and waited for the game to begin.

With the referee's whistle, the UEFA Super Cup began.

Just two minutes into the game, Grosskreutz, who had replaced the injured Piszczek as the starting right-back, crossed from near the touchline on the right, and the starting Mark headed in the box just wide.

"Marc, alas!" exclaimed Marcel Leff. 'As soon as the game started, Borussia Dortmund had a chance to threaten the Chelsea goal directly!

Mark, who didn't push in, was also annoyed, and he slapped him hard.

However, Chelsea were quick to change colour and in the fourth minute, Eden Hazard fired a low right-footed shot from outside the box that went straight off the line.

Both sides had a shot that didn't hit the woodwork.

Both teams were in shape from the start of the game, which means it certainly won't be a slow pace. This delighted the commentators and the fans.

In the sixth minute, Ruiz and Aubameyang clashed in the scramble, but fortunately, the two were pulled away by the referee in time when they were in a verbal altercation, otherwise they would have been bullish......

"The players on both sides have to control their anger, the game has just started to clash, if there are fewer people, the excitement of this game will be greatly reduced......" CCTV commentator He Ping said. Since it is a Chinese derby, of course he has to abide by neutrality, at least when he shows it.

From a neutral point of view, we certainly don't want to make the game unbalanced.

Thankfully, the clash between Ruiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did not escalate or extend, and the game was back on track.

Shortly after the clash, in the seventh minute, Zhou Yi won the ball in midfield, when he was facing the right flank, and Chelsea midfielder Ramirez rushed up to break the ball.

Zhou Yi pulled the football to the left with his right foot, and dodged Ramirez's foot, and at the same time, Zhou Yi's left foot flicked the pulled football to the left and turned around. From the right side of the face to the left side, and at this time there was a huge gap on the left side, and Royce was cutting forward at high speed!

Zhou Yi didn't hesitate, got up with his right foot and passed the football diagonally.

The ball sped forward against the turf, but it didn't roll directly to Royce's feet. Zhou Yi sent the football to the corner of the penalty area, and as long as Royce can receive the ball, he can directly turn this attack into a one-knife meeting!

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yi's pass, Royce cut inside and accelerated to catch up with the football!

"Zhou Yi! Beautiful Escape and Transfer! Royce has formed a single knife momentum!"

Reuss, who received the ball, shoots from inside the box!

It was a moment that really scared a lot of Chelsea fans, because Dortmund's attacking opportunity was so good......

Sun Pan decisively abandoned the door and attacked.

And just when Sun Pan abandoned the goal, Royce also shot with his feet - he obviously didn't want Sun Pan to seal his shooting angle, it was originally an oblique angle, and the angle was not as big as when he was facing the goal, if Sun Pan blocked him, there would be no shooting angle.

In the Champions League last season, Reus and Sun Pan played each other, and he knows very well the strength of this man, if he hesitates a little, he may lose the best opportunity.

The ball shot by Royce went to the far corner, but it didn't finally reach its destination, and halfway through, it was knocked away with his fist by Sun Pan, who was pounced sideways!

The football that was played by Sun Pan flew far out of the penalty area, just past Dortmund striker Mark who stepped in front of him, Mark jumped up and wanted to make up for the ball, but the difference was too far and he didn't reach the top at all......

The ball flew out of the box and fell to Frank Lampard's feet and the crisis was lifted.

That's why Sun Pan chose to play with his fists instead of using his palms like other goalkeepers - he noticed Mark's forward insertion when he attacked, and he was worried that if his palm could not fully touch the football, if he didn't exert force during the save, he might leave the ball in the penalty area, which would give Mark a chance to make a follow-up shot. So he simply chose to hit outward with his fists.

Of course, this is also risky, after all, the contact area of the fist is smaller than the palm, and in order to exert force, there is also a striking action, in that moment of lightning, this striking action seems a little redundant, and it is possible to make the fist miss the football. This is not a very safe plan, the safe way is to block directly with your hands, it is very good to be able to block the first blow, as for the possible second strike, many goalkeepers don't think about it that much at all......

But the artist is bold, Sun Pan accurately judged that Royce was going to hit the far corner, and when he saw Royce shooting, he pounced outward, and his body drove his arm to rush outward, without waving the arm itself, it could have the effect of hitting, so Sun Pan succeeded!

"Sun Pan! Great save! His movements are so fast!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

As a Chinese commentator, he was both happy and entangled in this game, of course because he could see the duel between two high-level Chinese players, and he was entangled because he didn't know who he should hope to win......
