While Zhou Yi was training for long passes in the virtual system, the real world was also passing day by day, and at the national team level, the Chinese team went to the East Asian semi-finals in Japan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, this time, Zhou Yi was not recruited into the team by Gao Hongbo. Gao Hongbo's explanation for this is that Zhou Yi has a heavy game task in the club, and no one has recruited players to play overseas in the East Asian semifinals, and the Chinese team naturally has no need to recall Zhou Yi.

The Chinese media also believe that Zhou Yi does not need to come back to participate in the East Asian semi-finals, which are not international A-level events, because these chicken rib games have affected his future in Dortmund, and that is more than worth the loss.

You must know that after Shaheen returned from injury, he performed well, which has given the Chinese media a sense of crisis. If the main position in the club is snatched away because of returning to China to participate in the inconsequential East Asian semifinals, it is really a sesame seed and a watermelon.

It is not without precedent for this before.

After Yang Chen's outstanding performance in Frankfurt, he was frequently called back to China to participate in the national team, which eventually led to him losing his main position in Frankfurt. Such a tragedy cannot be repeated in Zhou Yi.

At the same time, the national team without Zhou Yi also gave the Chinese people a surprise, they drew 0:0 with the host Japan in the first game, and then ended the "Koreanophobia" of 32 years of undefeated South Korea with a 3:0 victory against the South Korean team!

On the club side, Dortmund is getting closer and closer to their away game against Bayern Munich.

However, Dortmund's preparations did not go well - their main goalkeeper, Weidenfeller, was injured during training.

Goalkeeper injuries are inherently rare, and injuries in training are even rarer.

But such a rare thing still happened to Dortmund.

Weidenfeller, as the team's main goalkeeper and the last line of defence, is very important for Dortmund.

His injury is definitely bad news.

So Klopp, who was on the sidelines of the training ground at the time, looked ugly.

You know, just a day before Weidenfeller's injury, the team's captain Sebastian Kyle was also injured.

Losing two people in a row, Dortmund's luck is really back.

When Kyle was injured, Klopp's face was not as ugly as it is now.

After all, after Shaheen returned from injury, Kyle is no longer the main force. And Kyle has always been accompanied by injuries in recent years, and injuries have become commonplace. He was uninjured during the time when Shaheen was injured, and he stepped on in time to exceed Klopp's expectations.

The impact of Weidenfeller's injury is definitely incomparable to that of Kyle's injury.

When Weidenfeller was injured, the whole team's training was suspended, and everyone frowned as they watched the team doctor, Dr. Clouen, examine Weidenfeller - they were well aware of how important Weidenfeller was to the team.

Someone couldn't help but sigh.

Weidenfeller's injury came suddenly, the day before the team was scheduled to leave for Munich.

In this way, Dortmund's starting goalkeeper can only be replaced by Ziegler, who has not played a minute this season.

Then with such a lineup, the whole Dortmund team flew to Munich.

With injuries to their goalkeeper and a new tactic that has only been practiced for a week, Dortmund have not bargained much on the road.

They ended up losing 1-3 to Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund took the lead in the opening five minutes with a goal from Subotic.

But the good times were short-lived, and then Bayern Munich scored three goals in a row.

Borussia Dortmund were beaten away from home with no temper.

This is the first time that Zhou Yi and Shaheen have started at the same time this season, and the first start of two players who have been in good form of recent times is arguably highly anticipated.

When Shahin returned from injury, some local Dortmund media believed that Shahin could coexist with Zhou Yi at the same time, which would greatly strengthen Dortmund's control and passing ability in the midfield.

But after both started at the same time, the team lost.

And in the game, they didn't show that one plus one is greater than the sum of its parts.

This seems to have been one of the reasons for the team's defeat away from Bayern Munich.

However, Jurgen Klopp did not think so, saying in his post-match press conference that the defeat was due to the team's bad luck.

Such an explanation is clearly not accepted by the media.

"Bad luck? Dortmund took the lead in the first five minutes! If that's bad luck, what is good luck?" the local media in Munich scoffed.

As for Zhou Yi and Shahin's performance at the same time but not as good as everyone thinks, Klopp also thinks it's normal: "You also said that this is the first time that two people have started at the same time this season, and it is normal that there is some lack of tacit understanding between the two people, I don't think there is any need to pay special attention to this." ”

In fact, Klopp knows in his heart that there is only one reason why Dortmund lost to Bayern Munich, that is, Dortmund's strength is not strong enough compared with Bayern Munich.

But he can't admit it publicly, and that would be a demoralisation blow to his own team – what would the Dortmund players think if they knew that their manager thought they were inferior to Bayern Munich? That's when the foundation of trust between the players and the manager breaks down.

So Klopp can only put all the blame for the loss on bad luck.

In fact, in the years when Dortmund had good results, they were strong challengers for Bayern Munich.

However, as Dortmund's results declined and the financial situation deteriorated, the gap between Dortmund and Bayern Munich was widened.

Instead, some other teams have taken up the banner of "Bayern Munich Challengers".

For example, Werder Bremen, such as Stuttgart, such as Schalke 04.

But before this game, Dortmund's momentum was strong, and everyone was full of anticipation for this match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich. It will be interesting to see if Borussia Dortmund can re-emerge as a challenger for Bayern Munich.

But reality has given those who are so fantasizing a slap in the face.

After the game, some media commented that although Dortmund's performance was much better than at the beginning of the season, there was still a long way to go to threaten Bayern Munich.

There are also media who disagree with the view that Klopp's loss was bad luck and believe that Klopp should be responsible for the team's loss to Bayern Munich.

The successive injuries of Weidenfeller and Kyle are the responsibility of Klopp's training intensity.

Because both of them were injured in training.

Even Shahin's injuries, they were counted on Klopp's head. It is believed that Shaheen was overtired in training, which caused him to be unable to better protect himself during the game.

However, Klopp did not respond to this voice.

Some media also believe that Klopp's "dual-core" tactics of wanting Shaheen and Zhou Yi to coexist look "beautiful" in theory, but there are many difficulties in practical operation and it is not as promising as imagined.

“...... Dual cores aren't that fun. The England national team should be a lesson for Jurgen Klopp, with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard at the heart of their respective clubs, but the England midfield, with these two world-class midfielders, has been a disarray and has struggled in international competitions. This is because the two cores are in conflict with each other, the division of labor is not clear, and the responsibilities are confused...... Now Dortmund face the same problems as England...... The confusion between Shaheen and Zhou Yi in their interaction was already reflected in the game against Bayern Munich......"

As for the doubts about the new tactics, Klopp also did not defend himself.

Regardless of what the outside world says, he just wants his new tactics to take shape as soon as possible.

In the match against Bayern Munich, it can be seen that there are still some problems with the cooperation of Shaheen and Zhou Yi.

For example, theoretically, two people should keep in touch during the game, have a clear division of labor, and at the same time can switch positions.

This requirement is actually quite vague.

How can we keep in touch and have a clear division of labor? Is it contradictory that a clear division of labor and mutual transposition are contradictory? When should we have a clear division of labor and when can we transpose each other?

These are all difficult to figure out in a game, and only by constantly training and cooperating can you cultivate enough tacit understanding.

It takes time and patience.

Jurgen Klopp is patient with this, he is willing to give the two young men enough time, and he also believes that the two young men will live up to the patience and expectations he has given.

But not everyone has this patience.

Zhou Yi actually didn't.

Waiting for his chance to play in the first team, he was patient.

Because this matter is something he can't decide, he can't help but wait patiently.

But for now, he hopes that through his own efforts, he can reduce some of the waiting time.

Especially after the loss to Bayern Munich.

Originally, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, and his attention was on the long pass that week. But after the defeat away at Bayern Munich, he realised that long balls take time to improve and that a week of hard work is limited. His short pass has been practiced non-stop for a year to achieve the results he has now.

Now it seems that he and Shaheen are more urgent in midfield.

So Zhou Yi adjusted his training weight in the virtual system, and the long pass is still practiced every day, but not only the long pass like last week, he now spends one-third of his time training for long and short passes, and the remaining two-thirds of the training time is used to practice with Shahin for the whole team's offensive and defensive joint practice.

The main thing is to improve the tacit understanding with Shaheen in the new tactical system, which is manifested in the continuous repetitive training to explore the timing and degree of "keeping in touch, having a clear division of labor, and transposing with each other".

In fact, this is not Zhou Yi's business alone, after all, it is a dual-core.

Zhou Yi's training can only improve his familiarity with the new tactics, but not Shahin's proficiency in this style of play.

So it seems that Zhou Yi's special training is actually useless.

After a day of training, Zhou Yi also had such doubts.

Because no matter how he trains in the virtual world, the next day in the real training, everything seems to be the same as before his special training, and if it gets better, the improvement is very, very small......

It's not okay to go on like this, but you can't just leave it alone, you have to think of a solution, right?

After thinking about it for ten minutes, Zhou Yi came up with a solution.

Since he can't conduct special training for Shahin, he can only train himself, so let Shaheen continue to play in the way he is familiar with, and cooperate with Shahin himself.

In this way, it is only necessary to train yourself.

This is the only way to match the most obvious and fastest effect increase in the current dual-core tactics.

It is also the only feasible way of special training.
