Chapter 232: "Zhou Blow"

After the game, some media were very interested in the conversation between Zhou Yi and Yang Muge on the court, and they ran to interview the two parties.

But neither Zhou Yi nor Yang Muge avoided talking about it.

Yang Muge just said that Zhou Yi was trying to interfere with himself with some meaningless nonsense.

But he declined to say what Mr. Zhou had said.

Zhou Yi did not disclose the specific content, but half-jokingly said that he was catching up with Yang Muge.

The two of them don't say whether they live or die, and neither do the reporters. However, because of this, a lot of jokes were born on the Internet, and some people specially made videos to dub these two people, imitating the conversation between them, which is hilarious.

So Zhou Yi set off another round of spoof craze on the Internet......

※※※

After the Ruhr derby, Dortmund is only four points behind Bayern Munich, and has not fallen behind, and still has the hope of winning the league title.

This came as a surprise to many people.

You know, just before the winter break, when Dortmund continued to be caught in a wave of injuries to players, many people said that there was no suspense about the league title this season.

How could Dortmund win the league title with a group of remnants?

It's good for them to win three consecutive league championships, but it's impossible to dream of four consecutive championships.

In the history of the Bundesliga, there has never been a team that has been able to complete the feat of four consecutive titles.

The longest has been a treble of titles by Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

If anyone can break this record, in everyone's opinion, it must be Bayern Munich, the natural king of the Bundesliga. Instead of relying on a group of people, one coach, one breath of Dortmund.

After Borussia Dortmund won the league three times in a row and the Champions League, that breath was gone. This team will inevitably enter a period of decline, accelerating from the peak to the bottom, before stopping, and then starting to rebuild and start a new cycle.

The departure of Gotze and Lewandowski was just a few pieces of snow falling from the mountain before the avalanche began, but it foreshadowed an even more terrifying future.

Borussia Dortmund players continued to be injured, Gundogan played only one league game and never played again, and Subotic was also out for the season...... At its worst, Dortmund couldn't even put together a complete backline.

These seem to be all manifestations of avalanches.

But what no one expected was that after the winter break, the avalanche in Dortmund suddenly stopped, and the avalanche with huge energy was actually stopped!

I was stopped by force!

There were occasional injuries, but they couldn't break through the dam and continue to pour down thousands of miles.

It's magical, it's incredible.

Now let's review one game at a time, Zhou Yi's name must be unavoidable.

With one assist after another, one goal after another, he helped Dortmund cross one seemingly insurmountable mountain after another.

After the Ruhr derby, Zhou Yi's photo and name once again appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, appeared in the pictures of major sports programs, and was one of the most mentioned names on the Internet, and his social networks also poured into countless fans after the game, many of them Dortmund fans, but also many fans of other teams, including Chinese fans and non-Chinese fans.

Everyone was impressed by Zhou Yi's performance during this time.

Some media commented that Zhou Yi was the main reason why Dortmund was still standing this season: "Although FIFA's Ballon d'Or Zhou Yi did not even enter the top three, this caused controversy at the time. But Zhou Yi himself was not affected by this incident...... He has been in excellent form since 2014 and fully deserves the European Player of the Year award he won at the start of last season......

"Borussia Dortmund is enjoying the benefits of Zhou Yi, and if it weren't for Zhou Yi's excellent performance this season, I bet Bayern Munich would have won the championship in advance. But because of Zhou Yi, Dortmund can bite Bayern Munich to the death...... Zhou Yi's performance in the league was so good that I started to look forward to what the Chinese team would do at the World Cup in Brazil - I was not a fan of the Chinese team, and I knew almost nothing about Chinese football before, but Zhou Yi made me interested in Chinese football. I'm really curious about what kind of performance Zhou Yi can perform in the World Cup......"

In addition to the direct blowing by the media, there are also players who interviewed Dortmund to listen to how they blow Zhou Yi in a fancy way.

Grosskreutz: "We're used to Zhou Yi always scoring goals in key moments and games. Didn't he have a nickname called 'The Wizard'? Don't you think it's just a joke?"

Hummels: "Every time I go to Schalke 04's home game, Zhou Yi will be the one who receives the most boos. But I think that's the highest compliment for him – if you can make your opponents hate you to the core, you mean that you are the most dangerous to them. This game just proves that. ”

Kyle: "Zhou Yi is amazing, I've never seen a player as young and so mature and experienced as he is. In Zhou Yi, it makes me feel like my experience is wrong......"

Sven Bender: "Zhou Yi can be reassuring on the pitch, and as his midfield partner, sometimes he feels that playing football is a very easy thing to do......

Royce: "Zhou Yi is a genius, absolutely. I'm very happy to play with him. We've had some difficulties this season, but luckily we still have Zhouyi. I hope he will always be healthy. ”

Mark Wagner: "I've been playing with Zhou Yi since I was in the youth team and I was impressed by his ability very early on. Who is his number one fan? Of course it's me! Do you think Zhou Yi is so powerful now? No! He was very powerful from the beginning!"

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: "I haven't played with Zhou Yi before, but since coming to Dortmund, it's been an eye-opener. I remember the first day I came to training with the team – he was like he had been playing with me for years, he was very familiar with my characteristics, and he was always able to pass the ball to my feet comfortably in training, and I was shocked!

Yan Min: "He is the best player I have ever seen! I think he is more powerful than Messi and Ronaldo!"

......

For a while, touting Zhou Yi has become a trend, and what domestic fans are most concerned about when they go online every day is whether there is a new "Zhou Blowing" coming out.

※※※

Of course, the outside world can keep blowing about Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi can't really immerse himself in this emotion.

He didn't take the praise he had from the outside to heart.

It was just a Ruhr derby victory, which was not a great result for him.

If he can't lead Dortmund to the title, then all the hard work of a season will be wasted, and that's what he cares about the most.

Until he wins the championship, he will not let up his demands.

Sweating and doing his best on the training ground every day, he had to ask Cortana to give him a good massage to relax his body when he got home, so as to avoid strains in training or games due to fatigue.

Cortana's therapeutic massage is also the key reason why Zhou Yi has not had a muscle strain so far.

The break between the Ruhr derby and the next round of the league is very brief.

After playing the match with Schalke 04 on the evening of the 25th, Dortmund will go to challenge Stuttgart away on the afternoon of the 29th.

There are only three days in between, and this is still an away game, so you will inevitably have to travel a long way.

These can have an impact on the fitness and fitness of the players.

But despite the tight schedule, Klopp gave a day off on the 26th to all the players who played in the Ruhr derby.

Yes, a whole day off, no training in the morning or afternoon, the players can rest at home, they can go shopping, no one cares about them, they do whatever they want.

Despite such a busy schedule, Klopp is so extravagant because the players really need to rest at this time.

The rest of the game was basically a double game. After the 28th round of the league on March 29, Dortmund will play Paris Saint-Germain away on the evening of April 2, Dortmund will face Wolfsburg away on the evening of April 5, then Dortmund will host Paris Saint-Germain on April 8, and Bayern Munich will travel to Bayern Munich on the evening of April 12.

Fortunately, Borussia Dortmund have already given up on the German Cup, otherwise there will be the semi-finals of the German Cup on April 15 and 16.

In such a dense schedule, if the players are not allowed to get enough rest, the team will appear in the final sprint moment of the league, and the situation of having more than enough strength to exert force can only watch the opponent widen the gap with themselves.

After a day's rest, the main players returned to the Brackel training base to train with the whole team for the upcoming league match against Stuttgart.

After 27 rounds of league play, Stuttgart has 24 points and is in 17th place and second from bottom.

This means Borussia Dortmund will face another relegation team.

Towards the end of the season, relegation teams tend to be harder to beat than title contenders.

In the same round of the league, Bayern Munich hosted Hoffenheim, who are ranked 10th.

The battle for the league title between the two teams seems to have reached a watershed moment again......
