After the league, everyone's attention was naturally focused on the Champions League.

The current situation is that the Bundesliga has ended, but the last round of La Liga remains, and Real Madrid has missed the league championship. So in fact, they can also devote all their energy to preparing for the Champions League final.

The protagonists of the last round of La Liga are Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

These two teams are currently ranked in the top two in the league. In the last round of the league, it is another direct conversation between these two teams.

Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid at home.

As long as Atletico Madrid does not lose to Barcelona, ​​they will win the league championship.

For those teams who don't participate in the Champions League final, they can have a holiday after the final league round.

But since there is a World Cup this summer, players who want to participate in the World Cup cannot rest yet. They have to go directly to the national team to report from the club and participate in the final training camp.

This year's World Cup started on June 12th, and the major European leagues ended in mid-May, leaving less than a month for national teams to prepare for the World Cup.

The Bundesliga and Premier League ended at the earliest, and the last round of the league was ended on May 10 and 11.

For the Chinese team, Yang Muge, who played for Schalke 04, has left Germany, returned to China, and reported to the national team.

However, because Dortmund reached the Champions League final, Zhou Yi and Yan Min had to wait until May 25 before returning to the national team at the earliest.

This is not good news for the Chinese team.

When the team's absolute core returned to the team, there were only twenty days before the start of the World Cup, which would have a very adverse impact on the preparations of the entire Chinese team.

Yang Muge is the first international player to join the team to join the team.

The next person to return to China is goalkeeper Sun Pan who plays for Chelsea.

The Premier League ended one day later than the Bundesliga, and Chelsea beat Cardiff City 2:0 away. Chelsea did not win the league championship this season, but they eventually ranked third in the league and still qualified for the Champions League next season.

A week later, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A were all over.

In La Liga, Atletico Madrid tied Atletico Madrid 1:1 away and won the league championship.

In the Serie A, Inter Milan, where Guo Nu is located, lost 1:2 to Chewo, and finally only won fifth place in the league, qualified for the UEFA Cup, but still missed the Champions League.

Unless Guo Nu transfers to a team that can play in the Champions League, Guo Nu will be the only Chinese overseas player who has not participated in the Champions League next season.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Montpellier 4-0 at home in the last round of the Ligue 1. This season, Paris Saint-Germain won the league championship in advance, and they eventually led Monaco, which was as many as nine points.

He Ying also won the Ligue 1 championship for two consecutive seasons, but this season is his first full season at Paris Saint-Germain.

He scored fifteen goals in the Ligue 1 this season, ranking seventh in the Ligue 1 scorer list. The Ligue 1 Golden Boot belongs to He Ying's teammate Ibrahimovic, who scored twenty-six goals, far ahead of the others.

There were as many as five players in the second place, and they tied for second place, all scoring sixteen goals. They were Lille's Carau, Toulouse's Yedel, Lorient's Abu Bakar, Paris Saint-Germain's Cavani, and Marseille's Zenac.

He Ying and Lyon Dilacazette scored fifteen goals together, tied for third place.

Although he did not get the Golden Boot, He Ying still scored fifteen goals with the team's two scoring weapons, Ibrahimovic and Cavani, and his performance was already very outstanding. This was the season he scored the most goals in the top league.

He also scored four goals in the Champions League, making him the second scorer in the Champions League, second only to Ibrahimovic.

Such performance will help improve his position in the team, and I believe he will play a more important role in Paris Saint-Germain next season.

After He Ying and Guo Nu returned to the team, the Chinese national team had basically completed the assembly, leaving only Zhou Yi and Yan Min.

Most of the attention of Chinese fans has also been shifted to the national team.

The Champions League final is of course very important, but Zhou Yi has already won it, and it is too difficult to defend the Champions League title, so no one has much hope.

However, the World Cup is more important than the Champions League.

The last time the Chinese team participated in the World Cup was twelve years ago.

As a football event all over the world, the World Cup is of course more worthy of attention than the Champions League.

According to the announced preparation plan, the Chinese team's training camp was divided into three parts. First, the domestic training camp, which was mainly participated by players playing football in China, and it started before the European League ended. In order to make way for the national team to prepare for the national team, the domestic league has been temporarily suspended. Zheng Zhi, who had a high call for returning to the national team, also got his wish this time. Of course, whether he really wanted to take him to Brazil in the end is not necessarily the case. It depends on his performance during the training camp, but he finally had a chance.

Next, on May 15, domestic national team players will set off for Europe for training.

Why choose to train in Europe? On the one hand, it is to take care of overseas players participating in European leagues in Europe, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to arrange warm-up games. In Europe, they have two warm-up games to play. Another reason is that they consider the distance. Anyway, from China to Brazil, they also have to transfer in Europe. Therefore, when training in Europe, when flying to Brazil, you can fly a little less distance, save time, and reduce the energy and physical loss of Chinese players on the journey.

The third part is naturally to go to Brazil for training, where they still have a warm-up match waiting for them, and then the training will continue until the start of the World Cup.

After the Champions League final, Zhou Yi and Yan Min will go directly to Spain to meet with the national team to participate in the national team training camp.

This summer will be very busy for Zhou Yi.

There is only a break after the World Cup.

If the Chinese team enters the knockout stage, then Zhou Yi and Yan Min will almost certainly miss Dortmund's training camp in the new season.

※※※

Dortmund has been preparing for the Champions League final since May 12th.

For Zhou Yi, in addition to preparing for the Champions League final, he has another thing to participate in.

That is to shoot a documentary with him as the protagonist.

This project was actually proposed a year ago. At that time, he led Dortmund to win the Champions League. After that, in China, a company contacted Zhou Yi’s agent Shurtze through various channels and proposed to him the intention of filming a documentary related to Zhou Yi.

Shurtze is quite interested in this proposal. After all, being able to make Zhou Yi appear on the big screen is also very helpful for improving Zhou Yi's personal image.

However, at that time, it was just an intention. The company that was looking for Zhouyi had nothing but intention. They hoped to get Zhouyi's authorization and consent before they could carry out the follow-up work.

Zhou Yi did not object to the filming of documentaries, but he had his own business to be busy, so he left it to Shurtze to do it.

Later, Zhou Yi met the other party several times, and each time the other party would bring different people.

Some are said to be the investor, some are said to be the director.

I came to Germany to meet several times, and the two sides negotiated countless times, and there were differences and arguments. I also repeated several times during this period. When Zhou Yi was almost unable to remember this matter, one day Shurtze told him that the matter was finalized.

It is said that this is an international team, not only Chinese, but also British and German teams.

This is also what Shulce asked. At first, domestic companies in China just wanted to shoot a documentary and then broadcast it in China. But Shulce felt that it would be a pity to play it only in China. He hoped to be released globally, and of course it was still mainly in China, but internationalization of the team was inevitable.

At the same time, this documentary also records Zhou Yi's performance in the World Cup, which requires approval from the Chinese Football Association and can follow the Chinese team to compete in the World Cup as a team photography team, starting from the training camp and shooting until the World Cup matches.

At the same time, they will also be allowed to enter the locker room of the Chinese team to shoot unknown pictures and stories within the team.

Negotiations with the Chinese Football Association are very difficult, after all, there has never been such a thing in the history of Chinese football.

Even in the history of Chinese sports, it has set a precedent.

The producer uses various public and private relationships to present outstanding sports documentaries in the history of European and American sports to convince the Chinese Football Association.

For example, the documentary "A Summer Fairy Tale" of the German national team at the 2006 World Cup.

In the end, the producer promised to shoot a documentary during the World Cup for the Chinese national team for free, which was why they were qualified for shooting.

At that time, they will participate in training at all stages with the team. The team coaching team, locker room, dormitory, and hotel will turn on the green light to them. At the same time, the shooting team must also promise not to leak the shooting content privately. All shooting activities must be carried out without interfering with or affecting the team's preparation. If the coaching team does not allow the shooting, then it cannot be taken.

I originally wanted to shoot a documentary about Zhou Yi, but now it has changed from one to two documentaries. The manpower needs to be increased, and the time and money investment are far beyond the initial expectations. More companies have to be introduced to participate.

For these reasons, the preparation work takes a lot more time than expected.

Fortunately, the documentary can be filmed before the World Cup.

Now the filming team responsible for the national team has entered the training base of the Chinese national team in China and has started filming.
Chapter completed!
