Chapter 163: God's Arrangement
Yang Muge thought that Zhou Yi and Sun Pan must be joking, especially Zhou Yi, after being with him for a long time, they didn't know which of his words was true and which was joking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sometimes he looks at you with a sincere gaze in a serious and very serious way, and what he says to you is likely to be a joke.
He wanted to be in front of the media, how could Zhou Yi say such frivolous words?
Zhou Yi and Sun Pan's meeting in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is definitely the most attractive thing for Chinese fans in this season's Champions League.
There are gimmicks than He Ying and Sun Pan when they meet.
After all, He Ying couldn't play in Barcelona before he met Sun Pan, so he had no choice but to go to Paris Saint-Germain on loan. His state has not reached the point where he is in the Olympics as he is in the sky, which means that he is not the strongest against Sun Pan.
Zhou Yike is different, just showing his excellent form and world-class ability with two goals and an assist in the Ruhr derby.
And Sun Pan also brought his individual ability to the extreme in the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
It can be said that among the five players in China who have stayed abroad, Zhou Yi and Sun Pan are the two with the most outstanding ability and outstanding achievements.
The encounter between them can definitely be regarded as a real "strong dialogue".
The dialogue between these two people will of course be more eye-catching than the duel between Sun Pan and He Ying.
Therefore, after the results of the draw came out, both traditional media and online media in China were discussing this "China Derby".
The general view is that the meeting between these two men is not something to be happy about, but a regret, and whoever wins the game in the end is a huge loss, because it also means that the two equally good people will say goodbye to the Champions League stage this season.
At such a time, no matter what the outside world says, of course, you have to listen to what the person has to say.
So Zhou Yi and Sun Pan both received phone interview requests from reporters - reporters can't wait for tomorrow after the training is over to interview the two people in person, in that case, the timeliness will be slightly worse. Domestic fans are anxiously waiting for it at this time.
Now when everyone wakes up, goes to the website or buys a newspaper, you can see how the two parties think about the results of this lottery.
Sun Pan: "...... It doesn't matter who I draw with, they don't score anyway and Dortmund is no exception. ”
Reporter: "Are you saying you won't let Borussia Dortmund score either, just like you did with Paris Saint-Germain?"
Sun Pan: "Of course!
That's a stark point. However, due to the performance of the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, no one came back to question Sun Pan.
So what does Zhou Yi think about it?
"I know, Pan Pan has said that he will not let me and my team score a goal. What do I think? What can I think? If we don't score one goal, then we'll score two, three goals. ”
When Yang Muge saw the answers of these two, he almost squirted out - the two of them really did what they said!

In the eyes of outsiders, the "war of words" between Zhou Yi and Sun Pan has begun.
But it will be some time before the two men actually meet, with Atletico Madrid's first leg hosting Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-final on the evening of April 3. It's only March 15th, and there's still almost a month to go.
In between, they have their respective leagues to play.
Sun Pan's task in the Atletico Madrid league is not to compete for the championship, if there is no suspense in this season's league championship, it is Barcelona's. After 27 rounds of league play, Barcelona won 23, drew 2 and lost 2, ranking first with 71 points. Second-placed Real Madrid are only 58 points, and with 10 rounds of the league remaining, they are almost unsurpassable by 13 points.
Atletico Madrid's task is to try to qualify for next season's Champions League again, and it would be even better if they could finish runners-up in the league. They are now 57 points, one point less than Real Madrid, and there is still hope.
Considering that Málaga, who is fourth in the league, is 44 points, and the difference with Atletico Madrid is also as much as 13 points, Atletico Madrid's task burden in the league this season is actually not very heavy.
Dortmund, on the other hand, is a little more grim.
Their title race with Bayern Munich will gradually heat up, with each of them reaching the quarter-finals in the Champions League, and there is no room for relaxation in the league.
In the 26th round of the league, Dortmund hosted Freiburg, and Bayern Munich challenged Bayer Leverkusen away.
After a comeback win over the Ruhr derby, the morale of Borussia Dortmund was high and the win in that game was really important. Jurgen Klopp also instilled in his team the confidence and philosophy of winning while the iron was hot in his post-match training, telling them that even the Ruhr derby could not stop them, so there is no one in this world who can stop them.
With this mentality, Borussia Dortmund swept Freiburg 5-1 at their home stadium.
However, Bayern Munich were not to be outdone, beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 away in their later game.
Twenty-six rounds of league play have passed, and the two teams are still only two points apart.
If this momentum continues, I am afraid that in the end, the two teams will have to decide the championship in a situation of direct dialogue - in the 32nd round of the league, Dortmund will welcome Bayern Munich at home, and if Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich, they will surpass Bayern Munich by one point with two rounds left in the league. If they can hold on to that point lead, they will win the Bundesliga, becoming only the third team in history to win the league three times in a row.

In addition to the big win over Freiburg, Borussia Dortmund also had good news – Mark, who was injured in the draw away at Shakhtar Donetsk, was able to train with the team, meaning his comeback was just around the corner.
But there's also the bad news, which is that Hummels and Kuba are injured. This is a bad situation for Borussia Dortmund, who are chasing Bayern Munich. With more and more players injured, Klopp will not be able to arrange rotations calmly.
In the 27th round of the league, Mark appeared in the team's squad and will travel with the team to Stuttgart to challenge opponents.
The game was very intense.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Stuttgart midfielder Martin Hanik received a yellow card for a foul on Schmelzer, and Schmelzer was injured due to the foul and could not continue the game.
Because Hummers and Owomoyela were injured in the back line, Klopp did not bring a defender to the away game at all. At this time, Piszczek was injured again, what should he do?
Jurgen Klopp had no choice but to substitute Grosskloitz as a substitute for Schmelzer at left-back.
Fortunately, Dortmund still has such a panacea who can play multiple positions and work hard, otherwise Klopp would really be blind.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Dortmund to score, Zhou Yi gave the football to Reuss, Reus crossed again, and Lewandowski, who followed up in the middle, scored with a header to help Dortmund take the lead away from home.
Subsequently, Stuttgart defender Niedermeier received a yellow card for a foul on Robert Lewandowski.
In the first half, Stuttgart failed to equalise and Borussia Dortmund did not extend their lead.
If the score is maintained until the end, Dortmund will have another three points and will temporarily surpass Bayern Munich in the standings with a game in hand.
However, after the break, Stuttgart stepped up their attack visibly and midfielder Alexandro Maxim equalised for Stuttgart in the 63rd minute.
The situation began to turn against Dortmund.
Stuttgart, who equalised, was demoralized and launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's goal, which was the most difficult period for Dortmund fans, who were afraid that the team would not be able to withstand the collapse.
However, at the critical moment, God still pulled Dortmund by the hand.
In the 69th minute, when Stuttgart's offensive was at its most intense, Dortmund got a chance to counterattack, when Zhou Yi took the ball, he did not hesitate, but directly passed the football to a vacancy he was optimistic about, as long as the ball could be passed, Reuss received the ball and could form a single knife.
As a result, Stuttgart's defender Niedermeier reached out to block Zhou Yi's pass in a hurry when he couldn't rely on normal means to stop Zhou Yi's pass, so that the football was greatly deflected away from Reuss who was in front.
Such an obvious handball naturally could not escape the eyes of Atkin, the referee on duty in this game, so Atkin stopped the game and ran to Niedermeier, who deliberately handballed.
"Ah, Niedermeier is going to be out of luck!" said Marcel Leif. "He must have been well aware of that, and he wanted to run away from ...... But how can it run? It's deliberate handball! Anyone, as long as he's not blind, can see it! Deliberate handball is definitely a yellow card, and Niedermeier already has a yellow card on him -- he's going to be sent off with a red card!"
Before he could finish speaking, Atkin ran up to Niedermeier, holding two cards, one yellow and one red.
He showed a yellow card to Niedermeier, then a red card - Niedermeier was sent off!
At a time when Stuttgart's morale was high and the situation was good, their centre-back was sent off, and the momentum cooled as quickly as cold water was poured on it......
At the most critical time for Dortmund, the sudden appearance of a red card gave them a chance to breathe!
It's a coincidence that people think it's God's arrangement. (To be continued.) )
