Chapter 12: The Second Opponent
Although there is no Zhou Yi, the players of Dortmund still firmly grasp the initiative on the field. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is not so easy for Hengyuan to turn over, and the difference in strength between them and Dortmund is not just a week.
In the end, Dortmund scored another goal and defeated Hengyuan 4:0.
This is the result of the contest between the Chinese champion and the German and European champions, but it is not a real difference in strength, because this is a commercial game, and the Dortmund players have not done their best, at least Zhou Yi has not played a full 90 minutes, otherwise, the final score is definitely not like this, and Hengyuan will concede more goals.
Those who are unhappy with Hengyuan are quite happy with this result -- aren't you called China's hegemon? You were beaten back to your original form by Dortmund!
After the match with Hengyuan, the whole Dortmund team left Guangzhou by plane the next day and arrived in Shanghai.
Here, they will play against a club from Shanghai, which is not an old Shanghai powerhouse, but a young team, Shanghai Chongming.
This team is a complete underdog in Shanghai football, and they were in the Chinese League last year, which is China's second division.
This year they are the new team of the Chinese Super League.
As for why Dortmund's opponent in Shanghai is such a team, and not the traditional Shanghai Shenhua. There are many rumors on the Internet, and there are Shenhua fans who are unhappy with Dortmund, believing that Dortmund FC is discriminating against Shanghai football because they did not choose the Shenhua club that best represents the history of Shanghai football.
But in fact, the reason is very simple - people in Shanghai Chongming give money!
One gives money, one doesn't, or one gives more money and one gives less. The Chinese organizers responsible for organizing the Dortmund China tour will naturally choose Chongming, Shanghai, which is generous.
And what other history, heritage, derby, grievances...... It doesn't matter, it's just a word of money.
What everyone analyzes is useless, can Dortmund understand Chinese football? Do they know the difference between Shanghai Chongming and Shanghai Shenhua? How can they possibly know which team represents Shanghai football?
For Zhou Yi, there is no difference between the game with Shanghai Chongming and the game against Shenhua, it is a game anyway.
He's a player, not a club owner, so he can't decide on this kind of commercial arrangement.

When Wu Lei passed behind his teammate Yan Min in Chongming, he glanced at the iPad_Mini he was holding in his hand and found that Yan Min was not playing a game, nor was he watching an American drama, but watching...... A football game!
Curiosity made him stop and lie behind Yan Min to take a few more looks, which made him even more surprised.
"Hey, Yan Min, what are you doing watching the match between Dortmund and Hengyuan?" he patted Yan Min on the shoulder curiously. "Didn't you watch the live stream at the time?"
Yan Min turned around and saw Wu Lei, and hurriedly took off his headphones and said, "I've seen it, I want to see more, and I finally found the complete game video again, and the rest are all highlights." ”
"What are you looking at this thing for?" Wu Lei couldn't understand.
"I want to study the game at Borussia Dortmund. Yan Min replied.
"What are you doing studying their games?"
"I want to find a way to beat Borussia Dortmund. ”
Yan Min's words alarmed the surroundings, and other teammates heard the conversation between him and Wu Lei, and they all gathered around.
"Defeat Dortmund?"
"Yan Min, you kid is daydreaming again!"
"Poof, Yan Min, are you serious?"
Everyone laughed around him.
Wu Lei also felt that Yan Min's idea was too whimsical, but he didn't tease Yan Min like other teammates, but shook his head and said, "Then I won't bother you, come on!"
With that, he left.
He wasn't interested in studying how to beat Dortmund, like a schoolboy trying to figure out how to crack Goldbach's conjecture.
Besides, if you really have to study the opponent, that's what the coaches do. As a player, you just need to execute the tactics arranged by the coach on the pitch.
Wu Lei left, and other teammates surrounded him and continued to tease Yan Min.
"Hey, Yan Min, have you found a way?"
Yan Min shook his head solemnly and replied, "Not yet." ”
Everyone laughed and laughed happily. Yan Min is the pistachio in the team, because he often does some very two-way things, which makes everyone feel funny. Like this time.
Some people kindly reminded Yan Min not to waste time: "Don't look at it, Ren Hengyuan has lost 0:4, and Dortmund hasn't used all his strength yet." The difference in strength is too big, we want to win against Dortmund?
Yan Min obviously didn't listen to these sounds, he put on his headphones again, didn't care what other teammates thought, and continued to watch the game video.
The other teammates saw that Yan Min was stubborn again, and they also knew that it was useless to persuade him, so let him continue to immerse himself in his fantasy world.
So they withdrew.

Dortmund's schedule in Shanghai is also very tight, in addition to training, the team also has to participate in some business activities, of which Zhou Yi is the most popular. Almost every press conference has to be brought along.
At the pre-match press conference, a Shanghai reporter provoked trouble and asked Zhou Yi how he saw that Dortmund's opponent in Shanghai this time was the Chinese Super League newcomer Chongming, not the old Shanghai team Shenhua. Whether Chongming can't represent Shanghai football.
Zhou Yi shrugged: "You asked me the wrong question, how do I know how they choose their opponents? Whether it is Chongming or Shenhua, they are both Shanghai teams, I don't think there is a question of who can represent and who can't." As a player, I only care about playing against opponents, but I don't care about who we are. ”
He was smart not to get involved in the football feud in Shencheng.
Of course, it really has nothing to do with him. What does the grievances and hatred of Shanghai football have to do with an outsider like him?
His image and reputation as fans in China are excellent, and he can't afford to trap himself in order to satisfy some people's infighting.

On the eve of the game, Yan Min finally let go of the iPad_Mini he had been holding for the past few days, and his brows were tightly locked.
Seeing him like this, his teammate Wang Chao, who lived in the same room with him, persuaded him to want to open a little: "I'll just say it, who are they, it's Dortmund! What about the Champions League winners! We want to beat them? That's a toad that wants to eat swan meat! Don't get into the horns of the bull." It's also great to know yourself correctly......"
"I've changed my goals. Yan Min said suddenly, which made Wang Chao a little baffled.
"Change what, what goal?"
"It's a bit too hard to beat Dortmund......"
"It's just impossible!"
"But we can score their goals in the game, Hengyuan didn't score, if we can score, isn't it different?" Yan Min asked rhetorically.
Wang Chao originally wanted to habitually persuade Yan Min to be realistic, but when he opened his mouth and the words came to his lips, he reacted - this goal is not very exaggerated!
It was impossible to beat Borussia Dortmund, but to score them a goal in the game...... If this is impossible, then it is too much to look down on yourself, right?
"Look, you agree with me!"
"This ......" Wang Chao actually wanted to say that he disagreed, but he couldn't speak with his conscience.
"I think as long as we can score their goals in the game, they will not be underestimated by us!" Yan Min was very interested.
"Then what did you frown just now?" Wang Chao asked.
"Because even if you want to score, it's still difficult......" Yan Min sighed.
Wang Chao smiled: "Isn't that normal? If we score a goal casually, how can people still be European champions? Okay, don't think so much, there will be a game tomorrow, let's rest early." ”
Yan Min wanted to say something, but seeing that Wang Chao had already gone straight to the bathroom to wash, he had no choice but to say no more.
Tomorrow's game......
The thought of this clenched his fists.
Tomorrow, he has to give his best performance.
He doesn't care about Dortmund's opponent, but Zhou Yi - this is a rare opportunity for him to compete with Zhou Yi!
Since the reality show parted, he has made great progress, he wants Zhou Yi to see his progress, and he also wants to see how far he is from Zhou Yi.
Although I watched a lot of games, I also trained with the national team. But nothing speaks for itself better than a real match!
