Chapter 20: The joint practice begins

On the first day after the match between the Chinese and the Netherlands, the Chinese team began their training as usual, and it was open to the media for fifteen minutes before the training.

Journalists from China and some Spanish journalists gathered outside the training ground to wait to watch the Chinese team's training begin.

As an opponent in the next game, Spanish fans are of course concerned about the situation of the Chinese team, especially whether Zhou Yi can make a comeback.

For Spain, they have been eliminated from the World Cup in advance. So now there is only one thing left, that is, they must not leave the World Cup with all losses in three games. They must win a victory. This is a battle of honor, a World Cup champion, and they must maintain their dignity.

So they are also very concerned about whether Zhou Yi can play. If Zhou Yi cannot play, of course it is best.

When Chinese players appeared on the training ground one after another in training equipment, the reporters saw Zhou Yi.

During the previous training, Zhou Yi was with the team during the warm-up period, but after the heat, he went to the side to train alone, and a special coach came to take him.

Will this still be the case today?

Soon, when Lipi brought all the coaching staff to the training ground, physical coach Li Tie and assistant coach Madaloni began to lead the Chinese team players to warm up.

Photographers began to take photos and videos of the Chinese team's warm-up training.

The text reporters gathered together to discuss whether Zhou Yi could train with the team.

"... Actually, I think Zhou Yi has not yet practiced with the team. Even if he can practice together today, so what if he has done it? The time left for him and the Chinese team is too tight. If I remember correctly, the next game between us and Spain will be on June 23rd, and today is the 19th. There are only four days, what is enough for?"

After the reporter finished speaking, many people next to him nodded silently.

They also felt that even if Zhou Yi was able to practice with the team today, time would be too tight.

He was able to play with this team completely? They started training more than a month in advance to be able to combine the team into shape. How could there be training for four days before the game started?

But there are also different views: "No matter what, as long as Zhou Yi can play, it is of great significance. The most important influence after he plays is not reflected in tactical, but psychologically. With him or not, it is completely two feelings for other international players."

This person's statement has also been approved by many reporters and thinks it makes sense.

Zhou Yi is the tactical core of this team and also the spiritual leader, so if he can play, the encouragement of other players will inevitably be different.

But no matter which view it is, it is agreed that Zhou Yi has little effect on tacticality.

After all, the objective law of time cannot be changed.

As he was talking, the warm-up on the field was over.

Then the players gathered again to listen to coach Lippi's lecture.

The conversation didn't take long, and the next step was formal training.

At this time, the fifteen-minute media opening time has not ended, and there are still a few minutes left.

All reporters outside the training ground turned their attention to Zhou Yi.

They wanted to see if Zhou Yi would stay in the team, or leave the team as usual, and go to the other half of the court to train themselves.

The answer was revealed soon.

Lippi directly pulled Zhou Yi by his side and announced to the whole team: "Today Zhou Yi trains with us. The team doctor team believes that he has reached the level of being able to conduct confrontational training. Despite this, I hope everyone will be a little gentler to Zhou Yi."

There was a burst of applause and cheer among the Chinese players.

The reporters couldn't hear what Lippi said, but they could hear applause and cheer.

The slow-responsive reporter was still asking: "What happened?"

The smart reporter has already guessed the answer: "Zhou Yi is going to practice with the team!"

Chinese journalists also heard a series of cheers of efforts and suppression. No matter how effective Zhou Yi will be in the next game, everyone still hopes to see Zhou Yi come back.

The Spanish journalists immediately gathered together and whispered.

A reporter who could not wait to take out his cell phone and began to post this news on his respective social network accounts.

"Most important! Zhou Yi trains with the whole team! He is expected to participate in the next World Cup group stage against Spain!"

"Before the national football team's life and death battle, the hero Zhou Yi returned! The training ground heard applause and cheers for him!"

"When the Chinese team is most critical, their core is back!"

"Hurry news! Zhou Yi practices with the team! Our reporter will continue to send the latest reports to you at the forefront!"

Now is the Internet era. When traditional media reports breaking news, their timeliness can no longer keep up with the Internet's speed.

Soon, through the Internet, fans in China all knew what was happening in the training ground in Brazil.

"Zhou Yi makes a comeback!"

"Zhou Yi practiced with the team together! This is his first step in his successful comeback!"

"Great! Great! In the first two games, the Chinese team played so embarrassedly without Zhou Yi... Finally, we waited for our core!"

"The gods return to their posts! The strongest form of the Chinese team is coming soon!"

"Spain is trembling! Our Zhou Yi is back!"

"So what if you win the World Cup? With Zhou Yi, you'll be able to show you the same!"

...

Although the game is still several days away, Chinese fans seem to feel that they are sure to win. They are excited and are starting to look forward to the knockout stage game.

And not only the Chinese fans are optimistic about this, but the bookmakers in Europe and Macau have also adjusted the odds of the Chinese team and the Spanish team. In terms of odds, Spain was even more optimistic about the Chinese team. But now after the adjustment, although Spain is still more optimistic, the odds of the Chinese team are no longer as bad as before.

The reporters have left the training ground and the opening time has long ended.

But these reporters did not leave completely, but waited outside, waiting for the Chinese team's training to end. They couldn't wait to know how the Zhou Yi's joint training was effective.

They could not see the training scenes, but could only hear vague whistles, kicks, and occasional laughter.

"There is laughter again... It seems that the Chinese players are in a good mood..."

"That's right, just laughter is right. It means that the training of the Chinese team is going well. Otherwise, how could everyone laugh?"

"It makes sense!"

"If you say that, Zhou Yi's joint training must be effective?"

In order to learn the latest situation, a group of reporters turned into Sherlock Holmes, Detectives Conan and Kaneda Kane... without missing any clues, he inferred the truth of the matter from the pitiful clues.

It's really hard to report news.

※※※

In fact, Zhou Yi's joint training effect is indeed very good.

On the side of the training ground, Lippi was communicating his views on the current training with his translator Wen Shudang.

"Zhou Yi is really a magical person, it's incredible..." Lippi sighed. "Can you imagine that he had missed normal training for almost a month before today's training class?"

Wen Shudang shook his head: "It's really incredible. His performance is like he is training with the team every day, without any sense of strangeness. Although there are many people in this national team that have cooperated, but now it is different, and everyone's condition is different, and even the head coach has been changed."

He also teased Lippi.

"When Klopp called me, he said that Zhou Yi would surprise me. I thought it was a tactical surprise, but now it seems that I still underestimated him..." Lippi murmured.

"Isn't this good? Zhou Yi can integrate into the team seamlessly, so we will worry."

"Of course, of course. We're worry-free..." Lippi smiled.

What they both said was what everyone saw just now.

Whether it is offensive and defensive routine training or group confrontation training, Zhou Yi and the team are very well integrated. They are not at all uncomfortable. From the moment he stepped onto the training ground, he has integrated into this team. Just as Wen Shudang said, he seems to train with the team every day.

At first, the Chinese players were shocked. Later, they didn't care about surprise and devoted themselves to training.

Since Zhou Yi has no adaptation problems, they should not waste their time.

No one knows why Zhou Yi is so adapted to Lippi's training class. You should know that this is the first time he has participated in the team training in the whole team after Lippi coached the Chinese team. But why does he seem to be completely familiar with the training requirements of Lippi's coaching team?

In the end, everyone can only attribute the reason to Zhou Yi's amazing talent and tactical understanding ability far exceeds that of ordinary people.

As a genius, of course, you can't measure it by the standards of ordinary people...

No one knows that Zhou Yi has been practicing with the team before this, but it is just in the virtual space. If we calculate it based on the time there, he has been practicing with everyone for more than 170 days!

How could you still be uncomfortable?
