After Zhou Yi's departure, Dortmund did slow down the tempo significantly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the first half, they were pushed by Zhou Yi, without stopping, without respite, and scored four goals like crazy.

They did deserve to be relieved after the second half.

Of course, after relieving yourself, you must also be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Borussia Dortmund allowed Wolfsburg to score a goal in the second half, but fortunately Dortmund were still very strong, so they came back from the goal they conceded.

In the end, the match ended with Borussia Dortmund beating Wolfsburg 5-1 at home.

After the game, the media was concerned about why Zhou Yi was replaced so early. It stands to reason that even if they lead by four goals in the first half, they can't replace Zhou Yi at halftime, right? This approach is more like humiliating Wolfsburg, and Dortmund's subtext is "Our core can completely defeat you in just half the court!"

In his post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp answered everyone's confusion about the question.

"We have discussed with the Chinese Football Association, considering that the Chinese national team has a very important game next, they want us to let Zhou Yi rest for a while, and after asking the player's consent, I replaced him at halftime. Klopp said.

I see.

When the media reporters heard this, they suddenly realized. For the German journalists, they only got an answer, but when the Chinese reporters heard it, they were a little moved - the Dortmund club also took into account the interests of the Chinese national team.

Indeed, the next national team matches are very important for Chinese football.

If China loses away to Iraq, the situation will be difficult.

Since Chinese football broke into the World Cup finals in 2002, it was eliminated early in 2006 and 2010, not to mention the World Cup finals, and even the top ten in the final stage of the Asian qualifiers were not able to participate.

If this time, it is still the case, it will be a very heavy blow to Chinese football.

Of course, they hope that Zhou Yi can perform well in the national team and help the Chinese team defeat Iraq, at least not away from Iraq.

And Dortmund are willing to do this, and they are very happy. It means a kind of respect.

Of course, how did this respect come about, and everyone is not an idiot, and this is certainly not because of the friendship of the Dortmund club to the Chinese, nor because Dortmund attaches great importance to the Chinese market - without Zhou Yi, the huge Chinese market does not mean much to Dortmund. And because of Zhou Yi, all this has a basis for discussion.

To put it bluntly, people are willing to do the convenience of the Chinese Football Association, just because Zhou Yi is the core of the team, and they don't want to offend this core, after all, Zhou Yi is a Chinese player, so Klopp emphasized that they made this decision after seeking the consent of the player himself. This shows that they attach great importance to Zhou Yi, if they don't pay attention to Zhou Yi, they don't need to ask for any opinions, and the club will directly refuse.

Therefore, in this world, whether it is football or any other field, one's own strength is the key to winning respect. Some people feel that they can lower their profile, deliberately please the other party, and meet the other party's requirements almost unconditionally, so as to gain the favor of the other party and win respect. This is a very wrong idea.

After the game, Zhou Yi did not return to the training base like other teammates and then go home, but was sent to the airport by his agent Schulze at the West**** Stadium, and he will go directly to Qatar to meet the national team and prepare for the match against Iraq.

In order to fully rest, Zhou Yi chose to provide a first-class flight with a separate bedroom, so that he could directly get a better quality rest experience as if he was in a hotel.

This money, of course, was paid by himself. It's all just so that he can rest well and stay in good shape.

It can be seen how much Zhou Yi attaches importance to the World Cup qualifiers of the Chinese team.

※※※

Due to the internal war in Iraq, their national team is not in its own country, whether it is training or playing, but in Qatar, which is also a Middle Eastern country.

Zhou Yi is no stranger to Qatar, because the Asian Cup at the beginning of this year was held in Qatar, and the Chinese team won the runner-up here, which is already the best result of the Chinese team in the history of the Asian Cup.

So this is actually a blessed place for the Chinese national team. Due to some superstitious considerations that everyone can understand, the Chinese national team originally wanted to stay in the same hotel in Qatar as when they participated in the Asian Cup, hoping that returning to the old place would bring them good luck.

But the Qatari side was sorry to tell them that due to the temporary decision to renovate the hotel, they could not stay in this hotel and had to change to another one.

But isn't it really being renovated? I'm afraid everyone knows it in their hearts.

When Zhou Yi arrived in Qatar, Cao Wei, the leader of the Chinese national team, came to pick him up in person. On the way from the airport to the hotel where the Chinese team was staying, they passed by the hotel where they had stayed in the Asian Cup.

"Huh?" Zhou Yi turned his head to look out of the car window, the outer wall was scaffolded, and the door was closed, and he was surprised: "It's really being renovated?"

"How is that possible?" Cao Wei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, snorted. "It's just for show, in order to keep the media from finding flaws, don't you see that there are no workers? But this hotel is really closed for the past few days, and it doesn't accept any guests. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yi continued to look at the hotel outside the car. He is very familiar with this hotel, because the Chinese team lived here throughout the Asian Cup, and the occupancy rate of this famous hotel in Doha was very high in the past, but now the door is closed, and there is no one to be seen.

"For such a luxurious hotel, how much loss should it be if it is not open for a day?" Zhou Yi said with emotion.

"Yes, but it seems that the Qatari side has reached an agreement with the hotelier, and the hotel will be compensated...... These are all things we heard after we came to Qatar, and none of the media reported on it because of the lack of evidence. Cao Wei said. "In order not to let us stay in this hotel, Qatar has really taken great pains. ”

The opponent of the Chinese team in this game is not Qatar, but because Iraq and Qatar are both Arab League countries, and the relationship was once very good in history, Qatar is naturally willing to support Iraqi football. The Iraqi national team's victory in the 2007 Asian Cup is also considered a victory for Arab football.

This is also the reason why the Iraqi national team cannot choose Qatar as its home stadium when playing in its own country.

It has to be said that in terms of unity, West Asia is indeed stronger than East Asia, and Middle Eastern countries are often prone to cooperation in groups. In East Asia, China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are often sworn enemies of each other...... Of course, there are very complex historical and political relationships in this, and it has little to do with football.

So although this is not the actual home stadium of Iraq, the Chinese team may have more trouble in this place than in Iraq......

"Do they think that if they don't let us stay in the hotel during the Asian Cup, they will let us lose to Iraq?" Zhou Yi asked.

"I think that's what they think......" Cao Wei hasn't said anything yet, in fact, the Chinese Football Association also thinks so, otherwise why did he propose to live in the same hotel at the beginning, not only because he is more familiar, but also because he is more familiar, but only because he is superficial. They are also a little superstitious, hoping that this hotel can bring good luck to the Chinese team.

As a result, their ideas were seen through by the Qatari side...... People have fully demonstrated what is called "the home advantage of the rich man", which is really rich and generous.

Hearing Cao Wei say this, Zhou Yi laughed: "Hey, I think they think too much, and the victory or loss of the game does not depend on which hotel to decide." ”

As he spoke, the car drove across the road in front of the hotel, and Zhou Yi also withdrew his gaze.

Zhou Yi's arrival in Qatar and joining the Chinese team is an important news, not only the Chinese media, but also the local media in Qatar.

For the Qatari media, Zhou Yi is not a strange face. In the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, Zhou Yi was selected as the best player in the Asian Cup, except for the finals, he started every game and performed very well. And at that time, the Chinese team and Qatar were also divided into a group, and the Chinese team had a direct confrontation with Qatar, in which Zhou Yi played well and forced the host directly to a dead end, how could the local media in Qatar not be impressed by him?

But to say that the impression of him is good or bad, it is not necessarily. After all, if the Chinese team didn't have Zhou Yi, Qatar, the host of the Asian Cup, should have been able to qualify from the group, but because of Zhou Yi, Qatar, as the host, was eliminated in the group stage, which is a revenge for Qatar.

In the news of Zhou Yi's return to the team, the Qatari media positioned Zhou Yi as "the only European-level star of the Chinese team". Although it is true, it is still a bit embarrassing to highlight it so separately - except for one Zhou Yi, your Chinese team is all scum!

In an interview with local media in Qatar, Zhou Yi talked about his impression of this country: "I like Qatar very much, I like the city of Doha. Because this is our blessed land. Zhou Yi smiled.

"Here, we ended up runners-up in the Asian Cup without being favoured. It was my first Asian Cup, and it left a good impression on me. Secondly, I am also very grateful to the hotel that has accepted us, this time I heard that they are decorating, it is a pity not to be able to stay, I hope we will have the opportunity to stay during the top 10 competition......"

Regarding Zhou Yi's answer, Sun Pan hit the nail on the head in the group: "Damn, Zhou Yi is disgusting again!"

Does that mean that the Chinese team will be in a group with Qatar in the top 10?

Contacting the good memories that Zhou Yi said before, it can't help but remind people of the "beautiful past" when Qatar was eliminated by China in the Asian Cup......
