When Mark was discharged from the hospital, the match between Dortmund and Hertha Berlin also began. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I don't know if it's Mark's serious injury that has affected the mentality of the players, or if it's because the players are tired from back-to-back international games, or because Dortmund will face Arsenal, the seeded team in this group, in the next Champions League group stage......

In short, in this game, Dortmund lost 1:2 at home to Hertha Berlin.

Zhou Yi did not start in this game and did not come off the bench until the 80th minute. He was not able to help Borussia Dortmund equalise at home, let alone beat them.

At this time, everyone's focus is not in the league, but in the Champions League.

Three days later, Borussia Dortmund host Arsenal in their first game of the group.

This season, Borussia Dortmund have been relegated to Pot 3 due to their impressive performances in the Champions League last season. And the first round of the group stage against the seeded team is the special treatment of the third-tier team.

In this group, in addition to Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, there are also Marseille from France and Olympiacos from Greece.

Olympiacos are the weakest team and will be the target of the other three teams to steal the goal difference.

In order to gain the upper hand in qualifying from the group, they will surely have a clean sheet against Olympiacos.

When Dortmund was about to play Arsenal, an old story was also turned over by the media.

This matter is about Zhou Yi and Arsenal.

Zhou Yi relied on a talent reality show to stand out and attract the attention of Dortmund Club, and everyone knows the story. Zhou Yi has never been able to hide his experience when he was interviewed, nor has he hidden his past as an amateur player.

But I'm afraid not many people know that Zhou Yi, who participated in the reality show, was not only valued by Dortmund, but also by Arsenal and Barcelona.

But in the end, why didn't Zhou Yi choose these two clubs?

That's not what these two clubs want to talk about......

The media disclosed that Zhou Yi was not resistant to joining Arsenal at the beginning, and he just hoped that Arsenal could make a commitment to him, that is, the commitment to play in the first team. But Arsenal were unable to meet his demands and were reluctant to sit down and make such a commitment – and of course, in the circumstances, Arsenal certainly made sense.

At that time, Zhou Yi was an amateur player, who had never received professional training, nor had he proven himself in any professional field, and he just performed well in a few reality TV games. It is too arrogant for such a person to ask for any first-team commitment.

But it makes sense, for young talents, any club has to take some risks, there is no such thing as absolutely no risk in this world, there is no young player who can see through the future at a glance.

So in fact, this kind of scouting all over the world to find young geniuses and then bring them to their own clubs is similar to gambling. It's up to you to bet.

Obviously, Arsenal didn't dare to bet on Zhou Yi.

So they missed Zhou Yi like this.

Dortmund's head coach Jurgen Klopp flew to Barcelona to negotiate with Zhou Yi, prompting Zhou Yi to make up his mind to join Dortmund's academy, and finally became Dortmund today.

Jurgen Klopp was right and Borussia Dortmund benefited greatly.

The media that exposed the matter asked: "...... Seeing Zhou Yi, who is now performing well in Dortmund, I wonder if Wenger has a little regret?"

After this incident was revealed by the media, it quickly aroused everyone's interest, because the story is so legendary......

No one thought that Zhou Yi would almost join Arsenal?

As a result, more media outlets have joined the team to dig up stories.

Some people ran to ask Zhou Yi, and some people ran to ask Wenger.

Zhou Yi: "There is such a thing. ”

"Was it really because Arsenal were unwilling to commit to the first team?" the reporter asked.

"It's just one of the reasons......" Zhou Yi said, he didn't want to talk too much about the topic. Speaking of which, when someone says that he is black Arsenal, how wronged is he?" "I have my considerations, Arsenal must have had their considerations at the time, and it is normal that they were not able to come together in the end. The point is that I'm having a good time at Dortmund right now, so I'm not going to think about Arsenal. ”

So what did Arsenal say?

Wenger, who faced the reporter's question, frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes." We came close to signing him at the time, but we didn't work out. ”

"Do you regret it now?" the reporter asked

Wenger shook his head: "No." We've got some good players as well. ”

In this regard, Wenger's attitude is very resolute, he does not regret that Zhou Yi was not able to join Arsenal, he has more trust in his players.

A reporter asked: "Then do you know what made Arsenal not be able to sign Zhou Yi in the end?"

"I don't know about that......" Wenger smiled and shook his head.

Wenger doesn't know?

Then keep digging.

According to the situation at the time, if Zhou Yi really wanted to come to Arsenal, then the person in charge of this matter should definitely not be the head coach of the first team, Wenger, so it is normal for Wenger not to know the specific situation. Like Klopp, he went to Barcelona to dig up Zhou Yi, which was a special case.

The person in charge of this should be Arsenal's head of academy.

So they turned to Liam Brady, Arsenal's head of academy.

Brady was still very impressed with Zhou Yi because a seventeen-year-old amateur player dared to ask Arsenal for the club to bring in him with a special talent clause...... There are so few such people that they are bound to make a very deep impression on Brady.

That time in Barcelona, long after they didn't grab Zhou Yi, this Chinese teenager had a place in his mind, and occasionally when he thought about it, he felt that this kid was stupid and cute, arrogant and cute. I don't know if he will regret that he missed the great opportunity to join Arsenal because of his arrogance in the future?

I thought that this teenager would only exist in his memory, and then slowly disappear.

But when he heard this person's name again, he found out that he was already the absolute main force of Dortmund's first team!

It was a surprise to him - this kid really played at Dortmund, and Dortmund really gave him a chance to play in the first team so quickly!

He felt as if he was watching a fairy tale, which was so unrealistic......

But when he was approached by reporters and wanted him to talk about Zhou Yi, he was reluctant to talk more.

"Zhou Yi made his request, but we couldn't meet his request, so he didn't come...... Isn't that normal?"

I don't know for what reason, but there was a voice deep in his heart that told him not to go into too much detail about the past.

So he is no longer interviewed on Zhou Yi's question, his reason is that this is a matter of the past, and now it is malicious hype.

Arsene Wenger didn't know, Brady knew but didn't want to say.

What to do?

There will always be people who know and are willing to say it......

The ability of English tabloids to dig up news is still very strong.

It was not long before they revealed the exact circumstances of the time.

To put it simply, Arsenal took the initiative to find Zhou Yi, expressing their appreciation for his talent and optimism about his future, hoping that Zhou Yi would join Arsenal. As a result, Zhou Yi made a first-team commitment, but this involved labor certification, so Zhou Yi wanted Arsenal to use a special talent clause to bring him in, a request that Arsenal refused.

And then there was no then......

After this inside information is revealed, everyone can have their own judgment.

Is Zhou Yi's request too much, or is Arsenal too stingy?

Everyone will have their own interpretation, and some people will think that Zhou Yi is arrogant and arrogant, blindly asking for and asking for a price before proving his ability. However, those who support Zhou Yi will think that this is a talented player with the confidence and respect that he should have for his own strength, but Arsenal is too stingy, and as a result, they missed Zhou Yi as a talented player.

But it doesn't really matter who is right and who is wrong.

However, when the reporter asked Brady if he would regret not signing Zhou Yi, Brady and Arsene Wenger answered exactly the same.

"No regrets," he said. Why regret it?"

He also left a rhetorical question for the reporters.

Yes, Arsenal, with so many talented people as dense as a forest, why should they regret missing a tree?
