Chapter 187: A Fresh Man
Zhou Yi, who was surrounded by his teammates and asked questions, could actually feel a certain change in everyone's attitude towards him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He knows and understands this change in attitude.
Although I had a good time with everyone before, we could talk and laugh together, and we could joke. But that kind of happiness is more often than not, which makes Zhou Yi feel like the care and politeness of the big brothers of the first team to the descendants of the youth team.
They don't hate themselves, and some of them are happy to be friends with them off the court. Just like football stars will have a lot of friends who don't play football.
But when the training session was over, things were different.
There have been some changes in the affection of his teammates in the state, and behind the care and politeness of his seniors to his back, there is something more.
They look at themselves differently.
There's something called "recognition" in it.
Zhou Yi felt they were starting to really see themselves as a first-team player and accept him as their true team-mate.
Rather than being the case before, many people must have felt that they were playing well in the youth team, so as a reward, they came to the first team to participate in the pre-season training camp with the team. But everyone knows that the youth team and the first team are two completely different worlds.
Just because you play well in the youth team doesn't mean you play well in the first team. You're at the heart of the youth team, and you probably won't be able to play in the first team.
This is all very normal. For example, Real Madrid, their top scorer in the youth team, striker Portino, who broke Raul's record in the youth team, couldn't even play the main team in Real Madrid, and in the end he didn't even have a position, so he could only go away.
And the captain of Real Madrid's B team, central defender Messia, can't even play games in the Real Madrid backline that reuses local youth training, and occasionally plays poorly, and is simply overwhelmed.
Such examples abound in other teams as well.
The difference between the youth team and the first-line team is not only age and body, but also a lot of differences.
Therefore, the players of the Dortmund first team will think that Zhou Yi is just here to participate in training with the team, and he will return to the youth team after the start of the new season, and it is normal to not know when he will actually come to the first team to play.
You know, even Mario Gotze couldn't play a game when he came to the first team, and he could only play in the Under-19s in the end, and if he continued to stay in the first team, maybe it would be useless.
So the first team is like heaven in the fantasy of many youth team players. But in reality, it is full of sweet pitfalls, and coming to the first team too early is not necessarily a good thing.
In the eyes of these well-informed first-team players, Zhou Yi is probably no different from those young people who come to the first-team captain to see him.
They didn't feel like they were going to fight alongside such a guy in the official tournament in the future.
But Zhou Yi's performance in a training session somewhat won them a different eye.
Before that, they were also a little curious about Zhou Yi, I heard that he played well in the youth team, but how is it a good method?
Now after seeing Zhou Yi's actual performance in training, they also understand that it makes sense for others to play in the Youth A team.
This kid does have two brushes!
Zhou Yi liked the change in the attitude of his teammates, and his embarrassed image in physical training was replaced by his excellent performance in offensive training.
Zhou Yi felt that if he continued to perform like this, it should not be a problem to stay in the first team after the pre-season training camp.
Now he's thinking further ahead and he wants to play in the first team as soon as possible.

After the morning of training, Zhou Yi was stopped by Chinese reporters outside the training ground.
He was pulled by about six or seven Chinese journalists who wanted to interview him.
It was not the first time for Zhou Yi to be interviewed, but it was the first time he had been interviewed by a Chinese journalist since coming to Dortmund.
However, Zhou Yi was not surprised, because Fang Shuai told him that the domestic media had reported that he had entered the Dortmund first team.
So isn't it normal to see journalists from China outside the training ground?
These Chinese reporters were also on the sidelines during the morning training, and they watched Zhou Yi's performance in their eyes.
In the eyes of these professional football journalists, Zhou Yi's performance in the morning training was very good.
They were delighted, even though they all saw the footage of Borussia Dortmund's U19 match against Freiburg U19 in the German Youth Cup final.
But youth teams are completely different from the first team, and there are too many players who have excelled in the youth team to find their place in the first team.
So before seeing Zhou Yi's first team performance, they didn't dare to make any estimates about Zhou Yi's future.
After reporting that Zhou Yi joined the Dortmund first team and trained with the team, the domestic fans exploded, but the media couldn't come up with new news.
The domestic media also held back for half a month, and after Dortmund finished its physical training, they immediately flew to Switzerland to catch up with Dortmund's first public training session.
They came at the right time this time, and they did not miss Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the first joint practice.
After the training, everyone couldn't hide their excitement and surrounded Zhou Yi for the first time, and there were many questions they wanted to ask him.
"Zhou Yi, I watched the program "The Inheritor of Green". A reporter used this beginning to successfully attract Zhou Yi's interest, and he set his sights on it. "I remember you had a shortcoming in the show, which was that you didn't have good fitness. So, how are you doing now?"
Zhou Yi, who has just undergone fifteen days of physical training like hell, can now be described as bursting with confidence in the face of this problem, although his tone sounds quite modest, but what he says is not modest at all: "The physical training intensity of the Dortmund first team is really high, I have never heard of it, but I have insisted on completing it!"
He's not bragging, he's done it all.
'You did really well in the youth team, helping them win the German Youth Cup and the Youth League, is that the main reason why you were able to break into the first team?'
"Of course. Zhou Yi replied very confidently, and he didn't use ambiguous answers such as "I think it is" and "it should be".
In fact, Zhou Yi's self-confidence can be seen everywhere in this interview.
A reporter asked him what his outlook was for the first team, and Zhou Yi directly replied that the goal was to stay in the first team after the training camp, and then strive to play in the first team as soon as possible.
This left a very deep impression on the Chinese reporters who interviewed him, and the Chinese players they interviewed abroad in the past, even if they were long-established international players such as Sun Hai and Yang Zhen, would be very modest when talking about their prospects in the team and their self-evaluation of their abilities, whether it was a habitual modesty or their true understanding of their own strength.
But Zhou Yi didn't, he was very confident.
Where does the confidence of an eighteen-year-old who has never played in the first team come from?
Chinese journalists are curious.
However, the first time I contacted Zhou Yi, such a question is really not easy to ask, and maybe people will not answer it if I ask.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was still sweating, the reporters also knew that they couldn't interview for too long, so as not to catch a cold.
So a reporter said that there was no problem and asked Zhou Yi to hurry back to take a bath.
His proposal was echoed by all journalists.
Zhou Yi thanked the reporters for their concern and waved goodbye to them.
Looking at Zhou Yi's back, the reporters discussed: "It's a good child, but his self-confidence is too much......"
"Isn't it a good thing to have enough faith?"
"Confidence with strength is a good thing, but ...... without strength"
"That's hard to say, guys. Anyway, judging from this training session, Zhou Yi's self-confidence is reasonable, although it is the first time he has practiced with this team, he has no stage fright, and he did not show that kind of dazed discomfort in training, I think I am very optimistic about this kid's future alone. A slightly older reporter said. "I think the biggest difference between our Chinese players and European football is not technology, technology can be practiced, and our youth team players are not without official selection of hope stars when they participate in the World Youth Championships. I think the most thing that is worse than others is our psychological quality. ā
The older reporter's words were immediately agreed: "That's it." Not to mention the young players, let's just talk about why our international players always can't break out of Asia? I think the poor psychological quality is the main reason!"
"Leaders hold meetings every day, and it's strange that this psychological quality can be good. "Some people can't help but complain about the system.
However, having said this, everyone also thinks that if Zhou Yi has such a psychological quality, I am afraid that his future is indeed worth looking forward to......
"It's a good seedling, I hope he won't become the second Dong Zhuofang......"
ā» ā» ā»
However, during the afternoon training, the Chinese reporters quickly discovered that Zhou Yi was not without shortcomings......
In the defensive training, Zhou Yi was required to press in the front court, but Zhou Yi ran a little slower and grabbed late, resulting in the team's front court forcing encirclement not formed.
Klopp didn't even blow the whistle, and before the training stopped, he rushed directly to the court from the sidelines, and roared at Zhou Yi menacingly: "Zhou Yi! What are you doing! Don't be lazy! Don't be lazy!"
Zhou Yi was stunned by the sudden storm, and he looked up at Klopp blankly.
The one-meter-ninety-three Klopp gave him a very great sense of oppression at this time.
"Defense is very disciplined work, and any mistake or negligence in any link can bring fatal consequences! You must keep this in mind!"
Zhou Yi finally reacted, he nodded hurriedly, like a chicken: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, coach, I'm sorry......" Apology fell quickly.
The teammates next to him all looked at him with sympathetic eyes, in Dortmund, if anyone has not been scolded by Klopp, it is really eight generations of ancestors who have accumulated virtue, so everyone empathizes with Zhou Yi's heart at this time.
Jurgen Klopp is a coach who likes to joke around and mingle with the players outside of training, but once training starts, he becomes like a tyrant and no one is allowed to disobey him or die.
Although Zhou Yi accepted Klopp's criticism, Klopp did not go down, but took the opportunity to criticize Zhou Yi to once again emphasize the importance of defense to the players: "Guys, our defense starts from the forward line, as a whole. That's why I ask everybody to be fully committed when defending, and if someone runs one step less and one step late, then everyone else has to run more and faster to make up for that person's hole!
His loud voice echoed over the training pitch, with all the players looking at him and the reporters and fans on the sidelines quiet.
Gotze glanced at Zhou Yi secretly, he felt that it was super embarrassing and embarrassing to be treated as a negative example by the head coach on such an occasion, if it were him, he would simply lower his head and want to get into the cracks in the ground.
But what about Zhou Yi?
He stood next to Klopp, as if nothing had happened, as if he were not talking about him.
This kid...... Is it because of the excellent psychological quality, or did you not take the manager's words to heart at all?
ā» ā» ā»
Jurgen Klopp stressed the importance of discipline and signaled Bwach to get back to training, and he strode off the pitch and stood on the sidelines, back in shape with his hands on his chest.
The Bouis whistle sounded, and training continued.
Although he looked like he was okay before, when the training started again, Zhou Yi was still quite positive, regardless of whether he would let go or not, at least he had a good attitude, constantly running around, assisting in defense or intercepting head-on in person.
Fortunately, his physical fitness has improved greatly in the previous physical training, otherwise he may not be able to run.
Zhou Yi also deeply felt why defense is more tiring than offense, because the initiative is not in his hands, and he can only passively follow the rhythm of the other party, so he will naturally be tired.
And after Zhou Yi's training attitude improved, although he still had a lot of problems in defense, at least Klopp didn't yell at him alone.
Poor defense can be a matter of ability or attitude, and Klopp allows a player to have a problem with his ability, but not a player with a problem with his attitude. He showed that in this training session to the newcomers who only joined the team this summer.

After the Chinese reporters outside the venue saw this scene, they also had a new understanding of Zhou Yi.
There are advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages and disadvantages are actually obvious.
But fortunately, this kid's training attitude is quite correct, and after being criticized by the coach, he also knows how to work hard. If this trend can be maintained, then his future is indeed worth looking forward to.
"Actually, I'm really not afraid of shortcomings, but I'm afraid of shortcomings but don't change them......" The oldest reporter spoke again.
"Yes, yes. People are not saints, who can be infallible? It is a saint who does not make mistakes, but he is not a human being. Zhou Yi is very good like this, just keep working hard!"
Zhou Yi himself probably didn't expect that his popularity in the media would be so good......
The reporters have already figured out how to write the manuscript through this day's training of Zhou Yi's completely different performance in the morning and afternoon.
A Zhou Yi with shortcomings, but more advantages, I believe that fans will be more interested in such a vivid Zhou Yi, right?
