British netizens opened their minds after this report came out - if Arsenal had signed Zhou Yi, what would it be like now?

Arsenal are likely to end an embarrassing run of titles that haven't won a title since 2005. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

League winners, FA Cup winners, League Cup winners, and even Champions League winners...... Zhou Yi can always help Arsenal get one or two, right?

Take a look at his performances at Borussia Dortmund, who couldn't even finish in the top six in the league before Zhou Yi became a first-team player for Dortmund, winning only one German Cup. After Zhou Yi became a first-team player, three league titles, a German Cup winner and a UEFA Champions League title!

All of a sudden, Dortmund went from being a mid-table team in the Bundesliga to becoming a ruler.

An old hegemon like Bayern Munich is firmly pressed under Dortmund and cannot move.

With Zhou Yi at Arsenal, can Arsenal get rid of the embarrassing title of "Fighting for the Four" and become the "favorite to win the championship"?

Of course, there are also people who disagree with this assumption, they believe that Zhou Yi's outstanding performance at Dortmund does not mean that he can also perform like this at Arsenal. Quite simply, the style of the Premier League is completely different from that of the Bundesliga, where the Premier League emphasizes more physical confrontation, and the same physical contact may be whistled for a foul in Germany, but in the Premier League, the referee will not even look at it.

It's no news that the Premier League celebrates physical contact and confrontation.

In such a situation, it is difficult to say what outstanding performance Zhou Yi can have. After all, his body is not strong, and although his physical strength has increased, his physical confrontation ability has not. If he is at Arsenal and becomes the core, he will inevitably become the target of the opponent's key defense, and in frequent physical confrontations, he can't even hold the ball, so what can he talk about organizing attacks?

Such a view has also aroused opposition from some other people, who believe that Zhou Yi is not a fool, and there are many physical confrontations in the Bundesliga, and there is nothing bad about Zhou Yi's performance.

The two sides argued.

But no matter how much the two sides argue, it can't change Arsenal's determination to "make amends".

Soon, the English media broke the news that Arsenal had decided to spend a huge amount of money to bring in Zhou Yi.

But Arsenal face very difficult rivals, in addition to Barcelona, in England, their rivals include Manchester United and Manchester City.

Prior to the rise of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Manchester United had been the most recognizable football club in the world, especially in East and Southeast Asia. Manchester City, on the other hand, is backed by petrodollars and has deep pockets.

Arsenal don't have any clear advantage over them.

In the early years, Arsene Wenger could also be a golden sign for Arsenal to attract young players. But after so many years, after failing to win the championship and not producing any too good young players, the halo above Wenger's head seems to have faded.

Looking at it this way, it is very difficult for Arsenal to introduce Zhou Yi.

The report of "Transfer Market" detonated the speculation and attention of major media about the whereabouts of Zhou Yi's transfer.

It also put a lot of pressure on Borussia Dortmund FC.

Because Dortmund and Zhou Yi's contract renewal was not fully negotiated, Schulze is a difficult agent to deal with, and he actively fights for Zhou Yi's rights and interests, almost not giving an inch.

At the same time, Schulze also admired Zhou Yi's decision to insist on negotiating with Dortmund after the end of the season, in his opinion, Zhou Yi was not blinded by the feelings between him and Dortmund, and when it came to interests, his head was very clear, knowing what he should do and what he wanted.

There are many players whose minds are not as clear as Zhou Yi, so they are either deceived by their agents or deceived by their clubs......

In Schulzer's view, Zhou Yi insisted on waiting until the end of the season to talk, and the pressure exerted by the club was because Zhou Yi was very confident in himself.

Sure enough, at the end of the season, Dortmund won the league championship and the Champions League, especially the Champions League, which had a great impact on Zhou Yi. At this time, Schulze also had the confidence to ask the club Lions, and he was confident that Dortmund would agree to his terms.

On the one hand, it is because of Zhou Yi's current fame and status.

On the other hand, there is the movement of the rest of the team in the Dortmund team.

Gotze's departure allowed Dortmund to start work on a contract extension for Zhou Yi ahead of schedule.

And now, the latest news is that Lewandowski is clamoring for a transfer, and he is very tough and resolute.

As the top scorer in the Bundesliga last season and Dortmund's top scorer in the Champions League, Lewandowski will be a very heavy blow to Dortmund if he leaves the team......

In such a situation, the Dortmund club will definitely stabilize Zhou Yi at all costs.

Zhou Yi's contract with Dortmund has not yet expired, and it is different from Lewandowski's situation, but if Zhou Yi himself is unhappy, it is not impossible to leave Dortmund this summer.

Zhou Yi won't use such a drastic method as a strike, but who knows if he will not work the court?

Even if he doesn't do this subjectively, as the core of the team, affected by the transfer incident, his state will definitely not be stable, and if he is absent-minded, it will be impossible to exert all his energy.

His performance will inevitably affect the team's overall performance.

At that time, it will be Dortmund who will be unlucky.

In order to keep Zhou Yi from thinking about leaving, their best choice is to renew the contract with Zhou Yi, and then give Zhou Yi a contract that can give him peace of mind to stay at Dortmund for another two or three years.

What makes them happy is that Zhou Yi himself did not refuse to negotiate with the club to renew his contract, which shows that Zhou Yi has not yet decided that he wants to leave the team. That's Borussia Dortmund's chance.

Originally, Dortmund FC adhered to their tradition of frugality in recent years, and planned to slowly grind the terms of the contract with Schulze one by one.

But now the previous article of "Transfer Market" has made Dortmund's wishful thinking come to naught - in this article, Zhou Yi made it clear under what circumstances he would consider leaving Dortmund, now that the Champions League has been won, there is nothing to stop him from leaving, and the other giants are sharks, how can they not come to pursue Zhou Yi frantically when they smell blood?

At that time, the suitor's crazy actions will shake Zhou Yi's original determination that is not very strong, what if he really wants to leave Dortmund?

Gotze has left, Lewandowski is still making trouble, if Zhou Yi makes trouble again...... I'm afraid that no one at the top of Dortmund will want to sleep well this summer, no, let alone sleep, they may not even dare to go out of the door......

Of course, it's probably not safe to stay at home, and angry Dortmund fans can't afford to rock their glass windows.

Therefore, the management of Dortmund FC is very clear that after the unexpected loss of Gotze, they can no longer withstand the blow of losing Zhou Yi.

And this is not only from the perspective of satisfying the fans, from the perspective of the club's image, a team that has just won the Champions League, there are three main core players leaving, what will others think of Dortmund?

From this question leads to a new question, and it is a fatal question - in the eyes of investors and sponsors, what is the value of a club like Dortmund that is losing key players?

※※※

For the top management of Dortmund club, if there is to prioritize things this summer, then Zhou Yi should be the highest priority, and Zhou Yi's problems must be solved first, and the possible danger must be stifled in infancy.

But in fact, if you have to talk about the facts, Lewandowski may be their biggest problem......

Lewandowski has performed well in the league and Champions League this season and has been one of the key contributors to Dortmund's ability to win the league and Champions League. In particular, his big four in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid dominated almost an entire week of pages in various European media.

Lewandowski's excellent form and performance this season may not have been expected by the Dortmund club management when they allowed Lewandowski to find a home in advance, right?

Of course, the last thing I expected was that Götze was forcibly poached by Bayern Munich......
