Zhou Yi, who was surrounded by his teammates, could actually feel a change in everyone's attitude towards him.●⌒,

He understands and understands this change in attitude.

Although I got along with everyone before, I could talk and laugh and joke together. But more of that kind of pleasure made Zhou Yi feel like the care and politeness of the first-team brothers to the younger generations from the youth team.

They don't hate themselves, and some people are happy to be friends with themselves off the court. Just like the stars have many friends who don't play football.

But when the training class ended, the situation was different.

The intimacy between his teammates and his teammates changed a little. Behind the care and politeness of his seniors, there were some more things.

They looked at themselves differently.

There is something called "recognition" inside.

Zhou Yi felt that they began to truly treat themselves as a first-team player and accepted him as their real teammate.

Instead of like before, many people must feel that they play well in the youth team, so as a reward, they come to the first team to participate in the pre-season training with the team. But everyone knows that the youth team and the first team are completely different worlds.

If you play well in the youth team, it does not mean you play well in the first team. If you are the core of the youth team, you may not even be able to play in the first team.

This is normal. For example, Real Madrid, their youth team's top scorer, the striker Portino, who broke Raul's record in youth team, couldn't even play the main player in Real Madrid, and in the end he lost his position and could only go far away.

The captain of Real Madrid B team, central defender Messia, cannot even play in the Real Madrid defense line, which relies on local youth training. She performs poorly occasionally and is simply unbearable.

Such examples abound in other teams.

The difference between the youth team and the first-line team is not only age and health, but also a lot of things.

Therefore, the players of the Dortmund first-team team will think that Zhou Yi is just here to participate in training with the team, and will return to the youth team after the new season begins. It is normal for him to come to the first-team to play in the game.

You know, even Mario Gotze couldn't play a game after he first came to the first team, and he could only play in U19 in the end. If he continued to stay in the first team, he might be useless.

Therefore, in the fantasy and longing of many youth team players, the first team is like heaven. But in fact, it is full of sweet traps. It is not necessarily a good thing to come to the first team too early.

In the eyes of these knowledgeable first-team players, Zhou Yi is probably no different from those young people who have gained a lot of knowledge from the first-team leader.

They didn't feel that they were going to fight side by side with such a guy in the future official competition.

But Zhou Yi won their different opinions with his performance in a training class.

Before this, they were also a little curious about Zhou Yi. I heard that he played well in the youth team, but how could he do it? No one has seen it.

Now that they saw Zhou Yi's actual performance in training, they also realized that it makes sense that they can play in Youth Team A.

This kid does have two tricks!

Zhou Yi likes this change in his teammates' attitudes. His embarrassing image in physical training was replaced by his outstanding performance in offensive training.

Zhou Yi felt that if he continued to perform like this, it would be no problem to stay in the first team after the pre-season training camp.

Now he thinks further. He hopes to play official games on the first team as soon as possible.

After the morning of training, Zhou Yi was stopped by Chinese reporters outside the training ground.

About six or seven Chinese journalists were pulling him and wanting to interview him.

It is not the first time for Zhou Yi to accept an interview, but it is the first time that he has been interviewed by Chinese journalists after coming to Dortmund.

However, Zhou Yi was not surprised because Fang Shuai told him that domestic media had reported on his entry into the first team of Dortmund.

So isn’t it normal to see reporters from China outside the training ground?

These Chinese journalists were also off-court during the morning training, and saw Zhou Yi's performance in their eyes.

In the eyes of these professional football reporters, Zhou Yi performed very well in the morning training.

This made them very happy, although they all saw the video of Dortmund's U19 match against Freiburg U19 in the Youth German Cup final, and saw Zhou Yi's performance.

But the youth team is completely different from the first team. There are too many players who perform well in the youth team that cannot gain a foothold in the first team.

So before they saw Zhou Yi's first team performance, they did not dare to make any estimates about Zhou Yi's future.

After reporting that Zhou Yi joined the Dortmund first team and trained with the team, domestic fans exploded, but the media could not produce new news. Dortmund's closed physical training camp did not give reporters a chance to find out the news.

Domestic media also held it in for half a month. After Dortmund finished its physical training, they immediately flew to Switzerland to catch up with the first public training class in Dortmund.

They came this time and did not miss Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the first training session.

After the training, everyone couldn't hide their excitement and surrounded Zhou Yi immediately, and had many questions to ask him.

"Zhou Yi, I have watched the program "Green Heirs"." A reporter successfully attracted Zhou Yi's interest with this beginning, and he turned his attention to it. "I still remember that you have a shortcoming in the program, which is that your physical fitness is not good. So how are you doing now?"

Zhou Yi, who had just experienced the physical training of 15 days like hell, can now be described as a result of this problem with confidence. Although his tone sounds quite modest, his words are not humble at all: "The physical training intensity of Dortmund's first team is really very strong, I have never heard of it, but I have insisted on completing it!"

He didn't brag, he did finish it.

"You have performed well in the youth team and helped the team win the Youth German Cup and Youth League championships. Is this the main reason why you can enter the first team?"

"Of course." Zhou Yi answered very confidently. He did not answer with an ambiguous answer like "I think it should be."

In fact, Zhou Yi's confidence can be seen everywhere in this interview.

A reporter asked him what prospects he had for the first team, and Zhou Yi directly answered that the goal was to stay in the first team after the training camp, and then strive to play in the first team as soon as possible.

This left a very deep impression on the Chinese reporters interviewing him. In the past, Chinese players who studied abroad, even international players like Sun Hai and Yang Zhen, who have become famous for a long time, will appear very modest when talking about their prospects and self-ability evaluation in the team. Whether this is a habitual humility or their true understanding of their own strength.

But Zhou Yi didn't have it, and he showed great confidence.

An 18-year-old player who has never played in the first team has come from where his confidence comes from?

Chinese journalists are very curious.

However, it was the first time I had a contact with Zhou Yi. Such a question was really hard to ask, and maybe they wouldn't answer it after asking.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was still sweating, the reporters also knew that they could not interview for too long to avoid a cold.

So a reporter said there was no problem and asked Zhou Yi to go back and take a shower as soon as possible.

His proposal was echoed by all reporters.

Zhou Yi thanked the reporters for their concern and waved to them goodbye.

Looking at Zhou Yi's back, the reporters talked: "A pretty good kid is just a little too confident..."

“Isn’t it a good thing to be confident?”

"It is a good thing to have strength, but no strength..."

"This is hard to say, everyone. Anyway, from this training class, Zhou Yi's confidence makes sense. Although it was his first time to practice with this team, he was not at all afraid and did not show any confusion in training. I think I am optimistic about this kid's future just because of this." A reporter who was a little older said. "I think the most difference between Chinese players and European football is not technology. Technology can be practiced. Our youth team players did not have official selections of hope stars when they participated in the World Youth Championship. I think the most difference between us and others is psychological quality."

The older reporter's words were immediately agreed: "That's right. Not to mention young players, just say why our international players can't make it out of Asia? I think the main reason for poor psychological quality!"

"If the leader holds meetings every day, it would be strange if the psychological quality is good." Some people couldn't help but complain about the system.

But after saying this, everyone also thinks that if Zhou Yi had such psychological qualities, his future is indeed worth looking forward to...

"It's quite a good seedling. I hope he won't be the second Dong Zhuofang..."

However, during the afternoon training, Chinese journalists quickly discovered that Zhou Yi was not without shortcomings...

During defensive training, Zhou Yi was asked to press in the frontcourt, but Zhou Yi ran a little slower and went on the snatch late, resulting in the team's frontcourt pressing encirclement not being formed.

Klopp didn't even blew the whistle. Before he could stop training, he rushed directly to the court. He roared at Zhou Yi with great momentum: "Zhou Yi! What are you doing! Don't be lazy! Don't be lazy!"

Zhou Yi was stunned by the sudden storm. He looked up at Klopp.

Klopp, who is 1.93 meters tall, gave him a great sense of oppression at this time.

"Defense is a very disciplined job. Any mistake and negligence in any link can have fatal consequences! You must keep this in mind!"

Zhou Yi finally realized it. He nodded quickly, like a little chick muttering: "Yes, yes, yes, sorry, coach, sorry..." The apology fell quickly.

The teammates next to him all looked at him with sympathy. In Dortmund, if anyone had not been scolded by Klopp, it would have been the eight generations of ancestors who had accumulated virtue, so everyone empathized with Zhou Yi's feelings at this time.

Klopp is a coach who is happy to joke with everyone outside of training and gets along with the players, but once training begins, he will become like a tyrant, and no one is allowed to disobey him, otherwise he will die.

Although Zhou Yi accepted Klopp's criticism, Klopp did not go on. Instead, he once again emphasized the importance of defense to the players by criticizing Zhou Yi: "Guys, our defense starts from the forward line and is a whole. So I require everyone to devote themselves to their full attention when defending. Once someone runs one step less in the defense and runs one step later, then everyone else has to run more and faster to make up for that person's loopholes! This is an attitude of irresponsible to themselves and teammates!"

His loud voice echoed over the training ground, all the players looked at him, and the reporters and fans on the sidelines also calmed down.

Goce secretly glanced at Zhou Yi. He felt that being regarded as a negative example by the head coach in such an occasion was a very embarrassing and embarrassing thing. If it were him, he would have lowered his head and wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

But what about Zhouyi?

He stood beside Klopp, as if he was not talking about him.

Does this kid... have excellent psychological quality or has he not taken the head coach's words to heart?

※ ※ ※

After emphasizing the importance of discipline, Klopp signaled that Bouvac could start training again. At the same time, he walked off the field with great strides, stood on the sidelines, and returned to watching with his hands on his chest.

The whistle of Buvachi sounded and training continued.

Although he seemed like he was fine before, when the training started again, Zhou Yi was still quite positive. Regardless of whether he would let go or not, at least he had a good attitude and kept running around to assist in defense or intercept him head-on.

Fortunately, his physical fitness has improved significantly during previous physical training, otherwise he might not have been able to run.

Zhou Yi also deeply felt why defense is more tiring than offense, because the initiative is not in his own hands, and he can only passively follow the opponent's rhythm, so he will naturally become tired.
