“...... In the just-concluded 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final, Dortmund, played by Chinese players Zhou Yi and Yan Min, defeated La Liga giants Real Madrid with a score of 4:3 after a fierce game and successfully defended the Champions League. Breaking the curse that no team has been able to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured...... But Zhou Yi was tackled by his opponent at the last moment of the game......"

“...... After Zhou Yi's injury, his injury quickly touched the hearts of fans and media across the country. When the World Cup was coming, as the absolute core of the Chinese team, it suffered an injury...... We don't yet know how serious the injuries are. But it can be seen from the live broadcast of the game that in the end, Zhou Yi was raised by the unit price...... I hope there won't be too many problems, and I hope Zhou Yi won't miss the World Cup finals because of this......"

Carvajal said in an interview after the game that he didn't mean to hurt anyone, and he was very sorry for Zhou Yi's misfortune, and he also said that he had called Zhou Yi to apologize and was forgiven by Zhou Yi...... But despite this, Carvajal's social media accounts were flooded with angry Dortmund and Chinese fans, who denounced Carvajal's needless tackle in the final moments......

“...... Zhou Yi, who was tackled by Carvajal at the last moment of the Champions League final, has come out with a diagnosis of the fifth metatarsal bone of his left foot - fortunately it is not a fracture, nor is it a bone crack, otherwise Zhou Yi will say goodbye to this World Cup completely. Unfortunately, doctors predict that even if Zhou Yi can return from injury, he will be able to play in the third group stage or knockout stage...... And when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether the Chinese team, which lost Zhou Yi, will be able to enter the knockout round of the World Cup. In addition, Zhou Yi will also miss all the preparation and training time, which also means that he will not be able to cooperate with his teammates and strengthen the tacit understanding. If you can't train and play for a long time, what kind of form will you be ......able to show even if you play?

“...... Lippi had already flown to Portugal immediately after the Champions League final to meet Zhou Yi. The two of them had a secret conversation behind closed doors, and no one knew what they were talking about...... Later, when Lippi was interviewed by reporters, he said that he and the national team would not give up Zhou Yi, although it is not yet known how long Zhou Yi will return to the field, but he has decided to take Zhou Yi to Brazil. And he said that Zhou Yi also agreed to this arrangement......"

“...... Lippi said he would wait with the team for Zhou Yi to pay, and as if to prove his resolve, he has decided to hand over the captain's armband of the Chinese team to Zhou Yi. According to the state's insiders, the decision was also endorsed by the entire team......

“...... Some people are worried that Zhou Yi's absence from the training camp and warm-up matches before the World Cup will affect the team's preparations. Lippi did not respond positively to this. There are indeed a lot of such concerns online right now. The Chinese team's previous tactics were obviously built around Zhou Yilai, but Zhou Yi was unable to participate in the training camp and warm-up matches because of injury, so should the Chinese team's tactics be adjusted and should the personnel arrangements be reconsidered...... It can be said that Zhou Yi's injury caught Lippi off guard. Of course, it also caught all our Chinese fans off guard......"

“...... Zhou Yi appeared at the national team's training camp in Spain today, he was dressed casually, but the crutches in his hands were very dazzling...... The left foot is wearing a special protective shoe, so you can't see what's inside. But it's really heart-wrenching that he's like this...... The only consolation is that Zhou Yi's mood looks okay, not as bad as everyone thinks, and he even smiled and waved at the reporter's camera. On the sidelines of the training pitch he chatted with Lippi for a while, and then with his teammates from the national team, and from the look on his face, it was completely impossible to tell that he was injured......"

“...... Later, Zhou Yi was interviewed by the media, and he said that he would reunite with the team when it went to Brazil. As for whether he can catch up with the World Cup, Zhou Yi expressed confidence in this. At the same time, he also responded to the opinions on the Internet, and some netizens believed that Zhou Yi's injury was related to Dortmund's high-intensity and high-load use of him this season. In this regard, Zhou Yi expressed his gratitude to netizens for their concern for him, but he did not agree with this statement, this injury was just an accident, and accidents can happen under any circumstances, and it has nothing to do with the club's use of him......"

“...... He Ying said in an interview that Zhou Yi's injury will definitely have some adverse effects on the team, but he is also confident in his teammates. said that they will definitely hold on until Zhou Yi returns......"

Sun Pan joked that after Zhou Yi was injured, it would be his turn to be in the limelight...... However, the Chinese team did rely on Zhou Yi very much after losing him. There are signs that Lippi is studying the counterattack of the Chinese team on defense...... After losing the core of the organization, playing defensive counter-attacks is indeed the most likely tactic for Lippi to implement at the moment...... When Zhou Yi returned to the stadium, whether he was facing his last game in this World Cup really depended on Sun Pan's performance......"

“...... Zhou Yi's injury is not only a concern of the domestic media and fans, but also a foreign media. Especially the three countries in this World Cup and the Chinese team are divided into a group. The training camp of the Chinese team happened to be in Spain, so there were suddenly a lot of Spanish reporters outside the training camp these days. The Dutch media also followed up and reported on Zhou Yi's injury...... It can be seen that they are very concerned about Zhou Yi being able to catch up with the World Cup games, especially the games against them......"

“...... Today, the Chinese national men's football team announced the final list of 23 people who will go to the finals of the World Cup in Brazil, and Zhou Yi is among them...... At the same time, due to Zhou Yi's accidental injury, Zheng Zhi, who was not sure whether he could go to Brazil, also remained on the list, and in Zhou Yi's absence, he may have to take over the responsibility of organizing the attack......"

“...... Today, the Chinese team will fly to Brazil, where they will do their final training camp and have a warm-up match waiting for them. We saw Zhou Yi at the airport, who was on crutches with his teammates and wearing a uniform uniform. In addition, we also saw his girlfriend Cortana next to him, who will also be traveling to Brazil with the team. It is said that after Zhou Yi was injured, the Chinese Football Association and the national team coaching staff discussed and approved it, and she will be responsible for Zhou Yi's injury recovery and treatment...... Because Cortana is an excellent physiotherapist and team doctor at Dortmund Club, and she is also Zhou Yi's lover, with this relationship, I believe that under her loving care, Zhou Yi's injury should improve faster......"

“...... The Chinese team has arrived in Victoria, their training camp in Brazil...... The Chinese team who got off the plane was warmly welcomed by the local delegation of overseas Chinese at the airport, and they presented wreaths to the players of the Chinese team. Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters again at the airport, and he was full of confidence that he would be able to catch up with the World Cup. He said: '...... We're here to make history and I'm sure my team-mates are not going to go home early after playing two group games......'"

“...... The Chinese team has been in Brazil for almost a week, and the opening of the World Cup is getting closer and closer. Zhou Yidu has been training alone in the gym for the past few days, accompanied by the physical trainer of the Chinese team, Li Te, and his 'personal physiotherapist' Cortana...... Although he can't touch the ball yet, he can do physical training and maintain his physical condition...... It's just that everyone is still inevitably worried, Zhou Yi, who has not trained with the ball and practiced with the whole team until now, what kind of state will he be able to show even if he comes back?"

"The good news is that we don't see the protective shoe on Zhou Yi's left foot anymore, and there is almost nothing unusual about Zhou Yi's walking, and it seems that Zhou Yi's injury is recovering at a pace that makes us happy. But just because you're okay when you're walking doesn't mean you're okay when you run and kick the ball, after all, the little toe of your left foot is the part that needs to touch the ball frequently, and if it hurts when you touch the ball in that place, it's obviously impossible to play......"

“...... There are five days to go before Brazil's World Cup opener and six days to go before China's first match at this World Cup. Zhou Yi has not trained with the ball until now, which makes people have to put a big question mark on whether he will be able to catch up with the World Cup...... We interviewed several players from the national team, and they avoided talking about whether Zhou Yi could catch up with the game, and Zhou Yi's injury seems to have become a sensitive topic for the national team......"

"Lippi said in an interview with us that he still has full confidence in Zhou Yi, but he hopes that reporters will not pay too much attention to Zhou Yi's injury, because it is not fair to other national team players......

“...... The Chinese team has just finished their final warm-up match, which has attracted much attention, and the performance of the Chinese team in this game can give people a little insight into how they will perform in the World Cup. In the case that it has been determined that Zhou Yi will miss at least two group games, what performance the Chinese team without Zhou Yi can show directly determines whether the Chinese team can go further in this World Cup...... This warm-up game may give you some clues. The opponent of the Chinese team in this warm-up match was Costa Rica, the opponent in the same group in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea...... In the end, with He Ying's goal, the Chinese team shook hands with Costa Rica 1:1. This result is not satisfactory, but in the game, we can still see Lippi's thoughts, but he wants to play a counterattack based on defense, and the Chinese team has repeatedly used direct passes and long passes to launch an attack, but the error rate is very high. It can also be seen that this team has not yet run in well for this new set of tactics. After all, they've always played pass-and-control tactics before......"

"With only three days to go before the start of the World Cup, the Chinese team ended their last warm-up match. A total of three warm-up games, two losses and one draw, it is difficult to find a win. Coupled with Zhou Yi's injury, these have dealt a blow to the morale of the Chinese team, and the warm-up game did not win, so naturally there is no way to find self-confidence through the warm-up game...... In addition, the results of the group are very unfavorable to the Chinese team, and now many people are very pessimistic, thinking that the Chinese team will not escape the fate of failing in the three group stages...... Some people even think that Zhou Yi should simply not play with injuries and withdraw from the World Cup directly to avoid leaving any hidden dangers. Let's take a long-term view and think about the World Cup in Russia in four years' time. After all, the 'Five Little Dragons'...... No, the 'six little tigers' are still very young, and they are far more than this World Cup...... But if you force yourself on the pitch at this World Cup and the injury gets worse, the impact will be great......"
