In the expectation or doubt, the 2010-2011 new season of the Bundesliga kicked off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the opening game, Bayern Munich beat Wolfsburg 2-1 on their home turf. As analysed in the Kicker preview, Bayern Munich have struggled to win on their home turf and their players are exhausted after a World Cup. From this game, it can be seen that many Bayern Munich players are obviously out of form.

In the ninth minute, Bayern Munich took the lead thanks to Thomas Muller's goal.

However, a tenacious Wolfsburg equalised in the 55th minute through Dzeko.

Then the game fell into a stalemate. The Wolfsburg players did not hesitate to foul Bayern Munich to stop Bayern Munich, which resulted in them committing as many as 25 fouls throughout the game. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, only had six.

Although there were too many fouls, the effect was good.

Bayern Munich struggled to move an inch.

It wasn't until the 90th minute that he relied on Schweinsteiger's goal to defeat the opponent.

Bayern Munich's performance in this game seems to perfectly confirm the season preview of "Kicker", showing that "Kicker" is not nonsense, and the analysis is reasonable...... This deepened everyone's worries about Zhou Yi.

A day later, the Bundesliga was in full swing.

Hoffenheim beat Werder Bremen 4-1.

Werder Bremen, who were still fourth in the table last season, did not perform well after losing Mesut Ozil. The preview of "Kicker" is correct again!

Borussia Mönchengladbach drew 1-1 at home to Nuremberg.

Cologne lost 3-1 at home to Kaiserslautern.

Kaiserslautern, who returned to the first division, made a good debut and reminded everyone of the "Kaiserslautern myth" of the year.

Hannover beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at home.

Freiburg lost 3-1 at home to St. Pauli.

Mainz beat Stuttgart 2-0.

Hamburg beat Schalke 04 2-1 at home.

Rakitic worked hard in this game, setting up Farfan for the equaliser, but as "Kicker" analyzed, it is difficult to do it alone, and it is useless for Rakitic to perform well alone.

Whether it is the possession rate, the number of shots on goal, or the number of corners, Schalke 04 is behind Hamburg in all aspects. Losing this game is not a surprise.

All that remains is Borussia Dortmund's home game against Bayer Leverkusen.

Although Bayer Leverkusen has lost Toni Klos, who returned to Bayern Munich on loan this season, Ballack's return may bring some positive changes to the team, and everyone is still willing to be optimistic about Ballack's future at Bayer Leverkusen.

Before the game, Ballack, who arrived in Dortmund with the team, was interviewed by reporters at the airport.

As for "Kicker"'s analysis of Dortmund and Zhou Yi, Ballack does not agree.

"Borussia Dortmund haven't brought in enough signings this season, but it also shows that their squad is more consistent...... I'm sure Zhou Yi will be more mature than last season, he is a genius and if we want to beat Borussia Dortmund in the game, then Zhou Yi will have to pay attention......"

Barak seemed to attach great importance to Zhou Yi.

This is actually quite normal, no matter what the media analysis says, Zhou Yi has a chance of not performing well, but at the same time, there is also a chance of performing well. As long as that chance exists, Leverkusen can't afford to let it go.

So of course they will prepare for this game on the premise that Zhou Yi will perform well.

※※※

The day before the game, Jurgen Klopp announced the team's squad and Mark was left out.

But this is quite normal, and even Mark himself doesn't think it's a big deal.

Even Zhou Yi and Gotze didn't make the squad in the first game of being called up to the first team, let alone him.

Mark knows he still needs to keep training and improve.

In the first game of the new season, he plans to watch it with his parents in the South Stand. When he's not playing, that's how he cheers for the team.

At 11:20 p.m. Beijing time on August 22, Zhou Jianliang and his wife Li Cuiyun sat in front of the TV together, waiting for the game to start.

On the TV screen, the picture has cut to Dortmund's home stadium West**** Stadium, it is raining, and the rain is not small, you don't have to look too closely, you can see through the camera lens that dense white lines appear in the dark background of the stands. Many fans in the stands wore ponchos and braved the rain to cheer for the team.

"It's raining......" Seeing the scene of the scene, Zhou Jianliang frowned and said.

"What's wrong with the rain?" asked his wife, Li Cuiyun, strangely.

"There are too many accidents when it rains, and I don't like rain balls...... "Zhou Jianliang said. "The turf is getting slippery, the game is not very watchable, and the football has to fly around in the air most of the time......"

He explained to his wife how different weather conditions can affect a football match. What is the difference between rain and snow, the difference between artificial turf and natural turf, and by the way, some classic races in bad weather.

For example, in the classic game of Italy's current international Gianluigi Buffon's debut in the national team, in the heavy snow in Moscow, the young Buffon resisted the indiscriminate bombardment of Russian players and tried to keep the door open......

An old fan talks about these things, and he can talk about them for three days and three nights without repeating them.

However, in the eyes of Li Cuiyun, a person who has no interest in football, she is not interested at all, she responds to her husband casually and is perfunctory to him.

And Zhou Jianliang, who was in a state of self-esteem, obviously did not notice his wife's performance, but talked to himself like a river and talked endlessly. He looks like a guest commentator sitting next to the narrator on TV, with two big words "expert" on top of his head.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi appeared on the screen and rescued his mother.

"Look, son!" Li Cuiyun pointed to the TV screen and suddenly shouted.

Zhou Jianliang's endless talk was suddenly interrupted, he also stared at the TV screen, listened to the voice of the narrator on the TV, and couldn't care about popularizing science for his wife anymore.

※※※

Although it was raining, the atmosphere at the West **** Stadium was still warm and unaffected by the bad weather.

In particular, the South Stand, as the first game of the season, was watched by a large number of fans.

When the players came out, the fans in the South Stand cheered enthusiastically.

The TV broadcast gave Zhou Yi a close-up.

He was looking around, like a curious baby, looking at the wonderful world.

"Well, not nervous, not bad. Zhou Jianliang was pleased with his son's performance, and he nodded approvingly.

The close-up stayed on Zhou Yi's face longer than any other player, which may indicate that Zhou Yi will be the key figure in this game. His individual performances have a direct impact on the final result of the Borussia Dortmund team.

Such a big responsibility also means pressure, but judging from Zhou Yi's expression, he doesn't seem to feel that this is a burden......

※※※

When the referee blew the whistle, the rain was still falling, and there was no intention of getting smaller.

Zhou Yi's hair was already wet and lying on his head, and he liked to keep shaking his head to observe the situation during the game, so his hair was constantly thrown up, throwing the rain out together, and then slapping it heavily on his forehead.

"This rain battle is a test for Zhou Yi...... Duan Xin, a commentator for China Television, said after the game began. "I have the impression that Zhou Yi didn't play in such a heavy rain last season, right? ”

Commentator Tao Wei nodded and said: "There is water on the field, which is more difficult for technical players to play. But we also have to pay attention to the fact that Zhou Yi also showed his long pass in the warm-up game?"

"That's right, it seems that God is also interested in inspecting Zhou Yi's long passing ability in this game, ha!"

※※※

For this rain battle, in fact, Zhou Yi experienced the changes brought by the venue when he was warming up.

The turf becomes slippery, the layer of sediment under the turf becomes soft, the adhesion is reduced, the support is insufficient, and the soles of the feet can be felt slippery when the change of direction accelerates. Even if you wear spiked sneakers that are specifically designed for this type of field, the improvement effect is limited.

In such a situation, it becomes difficult to play a delicate and smooth offensive coordination that advances layer by layer.

So when he was warming up, Zhou Yi was already trying to warm up with a long pass to find a feeling.

After a few kicks, he didn't try any more, and it felt like he had found it.

In fact, this rain battle is also quite unexpected for Zhou Yi, although he has a virtual game that can simulate reality, but it is not that everything can be simulated.

For example, if it has been raining for the past few days, then the virtual game can indeed have a rain battle. But if it hasn't rained for the past few days, where can I simulate a rain battle?

Ahead of the match day, the local weather in Dortmund was either sunny or cloudy, but there was no rain.

The weather forecast says there could be thundershowers today, but that's just a matter of probability.

It was still cloudy from the morning to noon, and in the afternoon, the thunder rumbled for a while, and suddenly it began to rain heavily.

The rain continued to rain until the start of the game, causing some water to accumulate on the field.

This is also a very helpless thing.

However, football is not basketball, it is an outdoor game, and the weather must also be taken into account, which is indispensable.

It doesn't say that football can't be played in the pouring rain, as long as the referee thinks it's okay, then the game has to go on.

After trying a few long passes, Zhou Yi had a score in his heart.

At the same time, he was glad that he had been practicing long passes all the time - wasn't long balls used at this time?

※※※

At the beginning of the game, Zhou Yi stood in the position of the back midfield, if you didn't pay attention to the Dortmund warm-up game, seeing this scene, you can be sure that Zhou Yi is starting to play the back midfield.

However, looking at Shinji Kagawa standing in front of him, many Chinese fans were still a little unhappy - the position closer to the opponent's goal should have been Zhou Yi!

There are still many people who think that the farther away from goal, the lower the threat, the less contribution to the team, and the less likely it is to be in the limelight.

But modern football has developed in a way that is not what people thought it was at the beginning.

Dortmund kicked off first, and the football was quickly passed to Zhou Yi, who was handed over to Zhou Yi in the midfield position to distribute the football.

Zhou Yi began to receive the ball more frequently than when he played the front midfielder - this is a change that is visible to the naked eye.

Because there was a real core in the team last season - Shaheen.

Zhou Yi is at most an auxiliary core, or a second core.

The rhythm and direction of Dortmund's attack must be controlled by Shahin.

Now that Sha Xin is gone, Zhou Yi has changed to play in the back, and he naturally has to take over Shahin's task and lead the team.

For Zhou Yi himself, he likes this feeling.

It's not that he doesn't like to support others, he was happy with Shaheen last season.

It's just that if he chooses by himself, that way can best bring his ability to the extreme, and Zhou Yi chooses this now.

He doesn't need to assist anyone, he just has the final say, so his ability to observe the nuances on the court and quickly read and analyze the game can be maximized.

It's like a Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle, driving around the city like an SUV without any problems.

But that's far from its limits. On the road, over a speed bump or something is not off-road at all for such a hard-core off-road vehicle, only to go to the limit of the place, to go to the place where there is no road, in order to squeeze out all the potential of this car.

And that environment is where this car should be.

After adapting and training in this summer training camp, as well as warm-up matches, Zhou Yi felt that letting him play as a midfielder and control the overall situation was the most suitable way for him to play.

He's the only one in this team who calls the shots.

To be honest, after experiencing it once, Zhou Yi fell in love with this feeling.
