Chapter 275: The midfield should be strengthened
"Huh, do you have something to tell me?" Zhou Yi was surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, there is not much communication between him and Shaheen, and it can even be said that it is very good.
In the team, Zhou Yi has a good relationship with Grosskreutz, and he also has a good relationship with Gotze, after all, the two have played together in the youth team.
He also has a friendly relationship with most of his teammates.
And Shaheen is naturally the same.
But not all friendly teammates are good friends.
The same is true for him and Shaheen.
He doesn't have any problems with Shahin, but he doesn't usually get too close.
If nothing happens, there will be almost no communication.
The only time was when Shaheen was not performing well, and Zhou Yi had to tell him his experience tactfully.
Just that once.
In addition, they usually meet each other to say hello, and they rarely even chat.
So he was surprised that Shahin would take the initiative to talk to him about something.
Shaheen didn't talk nonsense, nodded, and got straight to the point.
"Actually, both of us know that the so-called dual-core tactics still have priorities, right?" he asked.
Zhou Yi nodded. This fact is clear to everyone. It's just that the name of this set of tactics is dual-core.
"All along, it's been my lord and you. But in the next game, I want to change ......," Shaheen said, "and in the next game, I'll help you." ”
Zhou Yi looked at Sha Xin in surprise.
"But that's not how the coach arranged it......" he said, reacting to it.
"It doesn't matter. Shaheen waved his hand. "Originally, the two of us could be the master or the other. We'll just have to discuss it ourselves. That's it, you are the core in the next game, and I will assist you. ”
With that, Shahin was about to get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, behind him, Zhou Yi suddenly asked, "Are you going to Madrid?"
Shahin stood still and looked back at Zhou Yi.
"Good luck, Nouri. It's not a good place. Zhou Yi said to Sha Xin with a smile.
"Thank you, Zhou Yi. ”
With that, Shaheen opened the door to the locker room and walked out.
Looking at the door that had been closed, Zhou Yi dragged out his voice as if he was singing, and muttered: "Once you enter a wealthy house, it is as deep as the sea~~~"

"We've got an agreement with Spain and we'll announce it at the end of the season. Zolke said to Klopp in his office.
"Hmm......" Klopp nodded, but there was a slight melancholy in his heart.
Shaheen was recalled from Feyenoord after his own stay in Dortmund. At that time, the Turkish kid was doing very well at Feyenoord, and the Dutch club was going to buy out Shahin, and Shahin was a little tempted.
After all, although he debuted very early in Dortmund, he never had too many opportunities, and his performance was not stable.
It was Klopp's personal phone call to Shaheen to tell him how important his new plans were, which made Shaheen dismiss the idea of leaving Dortmund and return to Dortmund.
And under his tutelage, he successfully became the core of the team.
Originally, in Klopp's own plan, Shaheen, a young man, was the core of Dortmund for the next decade, and would eventually become the captain of the team.
He hoped so.
But in football, there are so many accidents that you can't go on with your plan.
If Shaheen hadn't been injured in that game against Hoffenheim, then Zhou Yi would not have been able to get a chance to play.
If Zhou Yi does not play, then Klopp may not be able to find the shining point in Zhou Yi until next season.
If it weren't for Zhou Yi's performance so well, he probably wouldn't have finally made up his mind to use Shahin to get a large amount of transfer fees.
And at the beginning, if he hadn't happened to see Zhou Yi's game outside the youth team training ground, I'm afraid all the stories after that would not have happened.
Shaheen will remain at Borussia Dortmund as the heart of the team and lead them to challenge Bayern Munich's supremacy in the Bundesliga.
Now, Shaheen got a transfer fee of 16 million euros in exchange for it, and then left, making room for Zhou Yi.
This is the renewal of the team, the metabolism. If it weren't for Zhou Yi, Klopp would never have let Shahin go until he found a suitable replacement.
"How is Zhou Yi over there?" Zolke asked Klopp again.
But Klopp didn't understand that selling Shahin needed to think about Zhou Yi?
"We're going to play in the Champions League next season, but with Zhou Yi's fitness, will he be able to handle the two-front battle?"
"Shaheen is all sold, are you just starting to think about it?" Klopp laughed, teasing Zolke before Klopp explained. 'I've thought about Zhou Yi's fitness, but on the one hand, he's getting better and on the other hand, we have other players to choose from in midfield. After Shaheen left, in fact, it was not Zhou Yi who benefited the most, but Gotze, who will have more opportunities to play. ”
'Well, but we should continue to strengthen in midfield. Zolke said.
"I agree. Klopp raised his hands.
"And what do you think of this person?" said Zolke, pushing a folder in front of Klopp.
Klopp picked it up and flipped the first page, revealing the face of an Asian player.
"Chinese players again?" he asked, looking up.
"Nope. Of course not. It's a Japanese player. ”
"Oh, good and cheap. Klopp teased Japan casually, then continued to scroll down and saw the player's name.
Kagawa ...... Silk?" he struggled to spell out the strange romanized names of the Japanese.
"Shinji Kagawa. Zolke corrected Klopp's pronunciation and said, "We scouts in Japan have been watching him for a long time and he's a very good young player. In fact, half a year ago, many European teams were interested in him, but he stayed in Japan because he wanted to be able to participate in the World Cup in South Africa. It had previously been rumored that he was going to Real Madrid and Barcelona for trials...... But he seems to be more inclined to join us now. ”
When Zorke introduced Shinji Kagawa, Klopp was looking through his profile, including scouting reports and specific performance statistics.
After reading it, he asked Zolke: "How much is the transfer fee?"
"If we wanted it, I estimate it could be done under 400,000 euros. Zolke put pen to four fingers.
"It's a bargain......" Klopp grinned. The international of the Japanese national team, the young talent who has the potential to participate in the World Cup, is so cheap......
"Well, I'm okay with that. I just hope that he can be as good and cheap as made in Japan. Klopp spread his hands.
"I have a lot of trust in the vision of our scouts in Japan, knowing that he has spotted another talented player before. Zolke laughed.
"Who?" Klopp asked.
"Zhou Yi. ”
Klopp was stunned for a moment before he realized who the scout in Japan was. "Tim Keyter?"
"Yes, that's him. Zolke nodded.
"Ah, I also believe in his vision. Klopp was about to get up and take his leave, but before leaving, he said to Zolke: "But I still have to correct it, Michelle." Zhou Yike didn't find out to Tim, but me. ”
He pointed to himself and said proudly.

On May 8, 2010, at half past nine o'clock in the afternoon of local time, the last round of the Bundesliga kicked off at the same time.
Borussia Dortmund travels to Freiburg.
In this game, Zhou Yi and Shaheen continued to start at the same time. However, slightly different from previous games, from the beginning of the game, Zhou Yi seemed very proactive and kept asking his teammates for the ball.
In the past dual-core matches, Zhou Yi was not active in this regard, he put himself in the role of a supporter, let Shahin control the rhythm of the game first, and only when Shahin needed his support, he would step up.
There is still a big difference between the two ways of playing and attitudes, so it didn't take long for those who knew the ball to see it.
Marcel Leif wondered: "Zhou Yi behaved today...... Very positive, as a sub-core of the dual-core, he does it a little bit...... Dominate the crowd, huh?"
Duan Xin is also saying: "Zhou Yi seems to have stolen Sha Xin's limelight and work, he has gone deep into the guard line many times to request, this is Sha Xin's territory......"
Tao Wei also felt strange: "In fact, Zhou Yi has always given people the feeling that he is a player with a strong sense of the overall situation, he can sacrifice himself for the overall situation, and if the coach assigns different responsibilities of the two cores, he will rarely cross the line." But now...... He crosses the line so often, what will Klopp think?"
Before the words fell, the game broadcast cut to a close-up of Klopp.
Klopp in the camera is really frowning, sitting in a chair and talking to his assistant.

"Zhou Yi's performance today is very strange. Klopp tilted his head to Bwach.
'You can see that he has dropped back to the midfield position several times, but that hasn't been the case in the previous games. Bwach nodded.
"Why is that? And Shahin doesn't seem to care......" Klopp frowned, which was what puzzled him the most.
Zhou Yi robbed Shahin of his job, but Shahin didn't seem to care.
This is completely different from his pre-match arrangement!
"I don't know, but Jurgen, do you think this situation is going to jeopardize the team's performance?" asked Bouáczy.
"I don't know, it's just started and I need to watch. ”
"Then we'll see. "As the assistant coach in charge of tactics on the team's coaching staff, Bwach is in no hurry to make a decision.
"Hmm. Klopp nodded, staring more intently at the pitch.

ps, note: In the driver's license chapter before, Zhou Yi's agent Tino Schultze was written as Tim Kitter, and now it has been modified...... The names of these two buddies are indeed a bit similar!
