As if to reassure Jens Keller, Matthias Dysse soon published a report in the Ruhr News newspaper on Zhou Yi's availability in the Ruhr derby. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

“...... We know from within Borussia Dortmund that it is uncertain whether Zhou Yi will be available in the Ruhr derby. There is still controversy and disagreement within the club. Sports director Zork wants Zhou Yi to play, and he believes that even if Zhou Yi does nothing after he plays, just standing on the pitch, it will be an encouragement and promotion for other players in Dortmund. But the people led by the team doctor team leader Dr. Braun opposed this approach, and they thought that if Zhou Yi's body was not 100 percent in shape, then he should not be allowed to play. Zhou Yi's injury can't be turned into a long-term injury. It's like Gundogan......"

“...... Gundogan's injury is now up to date and he may need to rest for a longer period of time. And his lower back injury is more serious than expected, and it is likely to develop into a long-term injury...... Obviously, Dortmund's coaching staff and team doctor don't want Zhou Yi to become like Gundogan......"

"So according to my speculation...... It is very likely that Klopp will not let Zhou Yi risk in the Ruhr derby, and even if Zhou Yi's body has fully recovered, he will not let Zhou Yi play in this game. The Ruhr derby has always been intense, with a lot of physical confrontations, and if Zhou Yi is injured again in this game, it will be more terrible for Dortmund than losing the Rulderby......"

The analysis of this article is well-founded and convincing.

Matthias Daisch is also a correspondent in the Ruhr Zeitung who follows Dortmund and is the editor-in-chief of the Dortmund section.

He has a good relationship with a lot of people within Borussia Dortmund and he can often get some inside information, especially when it comes to transfers. So his sources are credible.

With the endorsement of this person's article, Keller believes that his judgment is correct, and Dortmund really can't afford to let Zhou Yi come out and take this risk, compared with the victory or defeat of a Ruhr derby, the victory or defeat of a season is more important.

In order to ensure that Zhou Yi would not play, Keller showed his "confidence" in a subsequent interview with reporters.

"I don't care if Zhou Yi can play or not, whether he plays or not, we are all ready and will use our way to deal with them!"

The reporter asked, "In what way?"

Keller smiled: "This is the Ruhr derby!"

He didn't say it explicitly, but anyone who knows the "Ruhr derby" will understand what he's talking about.

Although in the history of German football, Bayern Munich has always been a well-deserved hegemon.

Although the contest between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is considered a German national derby.

But in Germany, the hottest, most intense and high-profile derby has nothing to do with Bayern Munich, but the Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04.

The popularity of the Ruhr derby is ranked in the top 10 or even the top 5 in the world. The "old derby" that did not lose to Glasgow at all, as well as the Argentine national derby of Boca Juniors and River Plate......

In the wake of Matthias Dyce's article, there is another indication that Zhou Yi may not be featured in the Ruhr derby, where Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 players routinely shoot video clips before the derby to stir up the atmosphere. Although the derby is serious for fans, it is also a good opportunity for businesses to make money.

Having players from two teams shoot short videos together to stir up the atmosphere is also a means of commercial marketing.

In some cases, the video clips are one-on-one, with one person from each side. Sometimes it's many-to-many, with a few people from each side.

For example, this time, there are five players from both sides leaving the country.

But Zhou Yi is not among them.

Although this is not a very conclusive evidence, Zhou Yi's absence is reverie - does Zhou Yi's absence from video shooting also mean that he will miss the game?

※※※

The day before the game, it was time for Dortmund to announce their 18-man squad.

Everyone stared at it, wanting to see if Zhou Yi really had no chance to miss the 143rd Ruhr derby in history.

But in the eighteen-man list announced by Dortmund, Zhou Yi's fame is impressive!

The Chinese reporters were surprised when they saw Zhou Yi's name, and then they became excited.

So does this mean that Zhou Yi can play in the game against Schalke 04?

Klopp did not say dead in an interview with reporters: "We just put him in the squad for the game, but whether he can play or not, it's still uncertain." It depends on the situation......"

In fact, at this time, there is no need for camouflage, and if you disguise it before, so that Schalke 04 is unprepared, even if it is a success. Now there is only one day before the game, even if the picture is poor, Schalke 04 has no time to make adjustments.

Still, Klopp kept his words ambiguous.

"Zhou Yi is on the list?!" Jens Keller looked at his assistant in surprise and saw that the other party nodded.

"Hell!" Keller hurriedly snatched Dortmund's eighteen-man squad from him - Zhou Yi was indeed inside!

"Starters?" Keller asked again.

The assistant coach shook his head: "It hasn't been announced yet......"

Keller also reacted, he was also too anxious. How could Dortmund announce their starting line-up the day before the game? This is the Ruhr derby, and Dortmund will never give away their information easily!

Seeing that Keller was a little flustered, his assistant coach comforted: "Just getting into the squad, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to play." Klopp also said that it is not certain whether Zhou Yi will play, it depends on the specific situation......

"That means he won't necessarily start, but if Borussia Dortmund get into trouble, Jurgen Klopp could play him?" Keller asked rhetorically.

The assistant coach nodded.

"Hmm...... It's better to let him out of the game!"

In the evening, in the group of "squeezing out Lao Guo".

Yang Muge was surprised: "Zhou Yi, aren't you not going to play?!"

Zhou Yi made an expression of spreading his hands: "When did I say that I won't play? I mean I don't know if I can play." Besides, just because you're in the squad doesn't mean you're guaranteed to play, right?"

Yang Muge has nothing to say, Zhou Yi really didn't say that he would definitely not play, and being in the squad at the same time does not mean that he can play......

But now Yang Muge can't believe that Zhou Yi won't play-the squad is all in, can he still not play? If he doesn't play, what will he do with Schalke?

Although Zhou Yi may play, making Yang Muge worry about the team's performance, he still expressed his joy.

"Anyway, if you can enter the tournament squad, it definitely means that your body has recovered to a state that can play, right, Zhou Yi?"

"Well, as I said before, I think I'm almost recovered. ”

"That's a good thing. ”

"Hey, Lao Yang, are you what your opponent should say?" Sun Pan, who was next to him, couldn't stand it. "I'm anxious for you, Zhou Yi is up, can you still win?"

"You can't say that, Zhou Yi can't go up, we all have to win. Isn't it possible that I still have to feel sorry for Zhou Yi's comeback?" Yang Muge said.

Looking at Yang Muge's words, Zhou Yi sighed with emotion: "Old Yang, you are really a good person......

"Don't send me a good person card, Zhou Yi. I know you're definitely trying to imply that we're going to lose, right?" replied.

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment - his emotion was purely because he had "deceived" Yang Muge, but Yang Muge still thought about him, so he said that Yang Muge was really a good person. I really don't think about it in the direction of "good guy card......

However, when Yang Muge said this, Zhou Yi thought about it carefully, and really felt that way......

So he said in the group: "Old Yang, your heart is really dirty now, you misunderstand your friends so much, I feel very sad for you - where did the shy and shy Yang Muge go?"

Guo Nu couldn't help but let out a vomiting expression, and He Ying typed a string of ellipses.

Sun Pan: "Zhou Yi, are you embarrassed to say that Lao Yang, on the heart, who can be dirty than you!"

However, Yang Muge's answer also made everyone else in the group laugh.

"No way, Zhou Yi, I am the closest to you here, although it is more than twenty kilometers away, it is still polluted by you. ”

Now it's Zhou Yi's turn to play the ellips......

"Aha! Well done, old Yang!"

"That's right, the one who is close to the ink is black! Zhou Yi, you are the lump of ink!"

“23333333”

The group resounded with everyone's happy laughter.
