After Zhou Yi returned to China, he and his teammates of the national team trained at the Chongming Island training base in Shanghai, and a week later, they will set off from here to Tokyo, Japan to challenge the Japanese national team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning to the national team, Zhou Yi was welcomed by his teammates. In this team, although he is young, he has a very high prestige, which is not earned by colluding with team leaders and coaches, by forming gangs and factions, and by playing with power tricks, but by his performance in training and in games.

And this training and game performance is not his performance in Dortmund, to be honest, Dortmund's Zhou Yi is very far away from the national team players, and how he performs in foreign clubs is not necessarily related to his status in the national team.

If a player behaves like a god at the club and becomes a soft-footed shrimp when he arrives in the national team, he can't stand up when he is needed. How can such a player be trusted by his teammates? Even if the head coach supports it, he is afraid that it will cause the players to rebound.

So Zhou Yi really conquered everyone with his performance in the national team and won everyone's trust.

Everyone knows that although he is young, he is a person who can be relied on at all times.

In last year's Asian Cup, if it weren't for him, the Chinese team would not even have the possibility of qualifying from the group, let alone reaching the final.

In this year's Olympic Games, if it weren't for him, the Chinese team would never have won that precious gold medal.

And the other new Olympic players who joined the national team did not enjoy Zhou Yi's treatment in the national team, although the big brothers of the national team also welcomed their arrival, but that kind of welcome was polite, and their heartfelt love for Zhou Yi was still a little different.

The young players of the national Olympic team won the gold medal in the Olympic Games, which is the pride of Chinese football, but their resume in the national team is still zero, and they need to prove that they are worthy of this collective. Before training with them, many people in the national team will probably look at them with suspicion, but they will not show it directly.

Not to mention that these people are still stealing their old people's positions, if anyone can really open their hearts and accept them unconditionally, it is really a model of moral imitation.

However, it cannot be said that there is a phenomenon of seniority within the national team, because this is not a seniority ranking, but an ability (strength) ranking. If these newcomers come in and perform very well in both training and games, then the international players of the national team will accept them, just as they did when they accepted Zhou Yi. When Zhou Yi first came to the national team, many people were also looking at him with curiosity and suspicion, but Zhou Yi conquered everyone with only one training session......

At the Chongming Island training base, everyone was engaged in training for the Japanese team, and in addition to training on the field, the coaching staff also showed the players the videos of the last few games of the Japanese team, through which they understood and analyzed the opponent.

There are a large number of reporters who report on the training of the Chinese team, after all, this is the first time that the Chinese team has participated in the top ten after missing the top ten matches of the two World Cup qualifiers.

The media that reported on the Chinese team's training hoped to see the traces of the Chinese team's tactics and lineup against the Japanese team in the training.

But unfortunately, the Chinese team is only open to media reporters for 15 minutes in each training session, and 15 minutes is basically some inconsequential warm-up training or shooting training, and does not involve any tactical content.

The internal teaching competition is also completely closed and cannot be seen at all. In order to prevent reporters from spying on intelligence, Gao Hongbo even asked the staff of the training base to fence off the training ground with curtains to prevent reporters from peeping in.

With such strict precautions, the reporters can get very little information, and it is no wonder that the Chinese media are not particularly friendly to Gao Hongbo -- he really does not care about the feelings of the reporters.

However, because of such a tight defense, Chinese and Japanese reporters could not get more information about the Chinese team. In the Chinese team that challenged Japan away, will the starting lineup be much different from the previous two games? Will all the newly recruited National Olympic players start their debut?

After finishing the training camp in Shanghai, the Chinese team left for Japan, and at the airport, many fans came to see them off.

In fact, in this group, the Chinese team, which has won two games and two wins, is in a good situation, ranking second in the group with six points. At the top of the group are Japan, who have two wins and one draw with seven points, but the key point is that Japan have played one more game than them and are only one point more than them.

As long as the Chinese team does not lose to the Japanese team away, it will be considered to have completed the task.

After bidding farewell to the fans at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the Chinese team arrived at Tokyo Narita International Airport by plane.

From here, take a bus to your hotel and start preparing for the race two days later.

The Chinese team only had one game in this matchday, so they had relatively more time to prepare. There is only one week of training in the country, which is a rare occasion for arranging the national team's match day in the Europa League.

The news of the arrival of the Chinese team in Japan has also become a high-profile news in Japan.

At Narita Airport, at the door of the hotel where they stayed, the players of the Chinese team saw the most not Chinese reporters, but ...... Japanese journalists!

This shows how much attention is being paid to this game in Japan.

In the Olympic Games that just ended, the Chinese Olympic team defeated the Japanese team in the final to win the gold medal. The craze hasn't passed yet.

In China, some media have claimed revenge for the defeat in last year's Asian Cup final. At the same time, there are also media clamoring in Japan for revenge for the defeat in the Olympic final.

Both sides feel that the other is an enemy and has revenge to be avenged, how can this game not attract attention?

In Japan, the most popular Chinese player is Zhou Yi, because he has been a partner with Shinji Kagawa in Dortmund for two years, and the relationship between the two on and off the field is also very good, which Japanese reporters know. When he was in Dortmund, Zhou Yi would also be interviewed by Japanese reporters, so he and some Japanese reporters were old acquaintances.

In the eyes of Japanese media reporters and Japanese fans, Zhou Yi is the most familiar Chinese player to them, and he has the most people around him in places where there are interviews.

Of course, Japanese reporters also use honorifics when facing Zhou Yi, which is a treatment that other players in the Chinese team do not enjoy.

Although the two sides were already tense before the game, Zhou Yi was still quite polite to the Japanese opponent.

"Japan is one of the best teams in Asia, and we still have a certain gap with them. This time it's an away game again...... The situation is not in our favor. But we'll give it our all. Zhou Yi said very modestly and low-key, if he had not just led the national Olympic team to defeat the Japanese team in the Olympic finals, many people might really believe that the Chinese team would have had difficulties away from home.

But now, everyone doesn't believe that Zhou Yi and his Chinese team are really so harmless.

Shinji Kagawa is the name that is most mentioned to Zhou Yi in Japan.

"This match will be the first time that you and Kagawa will face each other on the court, do you have any expectations for this matchup?"

"Everyone is at their best. Zhou Yi said.

"Did you communicate with Kagawa about this game in private?"

'No, he's at Manchester United now and we don't have a lot of opportunities to talk privately. ”

Kagawa said he was looking forward to the fight against Zhou Sang. ”

"I'm also looking forward to playing against him, after all, I've never played against him before. ”

"So can you predict the outcome of this game?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Football is round, and predicting the result is a very meaningless thing." All we can do is give it our all on the pitch and as for the result, don't think too much about it before the game. ”

The Japanese media have a very good evaluation of Zhou Yi's performance in the face of Japanese reporters -- neither humble nor arrogant, the kind of confidence that naturally exudes, rather than forcibly pretending, shows that he is a person who has really seen big scenes.

The Japanese media also believe that after Hidetoshi Nakata, there is another star in Asia who is truly world-class--they do not think that Park Ji-sung is a world-class star, which may be due to the hostility and prejudice of Japanese football towards South Korean football.

And whether their evaluation of Hidetoshi Nakata is too high is also debatable.

However, the Japanese media's evaluation of Zhou Yi made the Chinese media and fans sound very cool - being able to get the recognition and respect of the enemy shows that Zhou Yi's strength and charm are outstanding. (To be continued.) )
