Chapter 35 The Truth

Barrios' goal excited the Chinese fans in front of the TV because they saw Zhou Yi for the first time in the live broadcast of the game. Barrios hugged Zhou Yi after scoring, which also made everyone very happy to show that Zhou Yi gets along well with his teammates in the team. Otherwise, why would they not hug others after scoring, but just hug Zhou Yi?

However, for Chinese fans who have been waiting in front of the TV, this is the most happy scene in this game.∽↗∽↗,

Until the end of the game, Zhou Yi was unable to play. Although he had left the bench to warm up, he finally returned to the bench after the warm-up and was not sent to the court.

The Bundesliga TV broadcast only gave Zhou Yi a few shots, which was disappointing the Chinese fans who had been waiting for Zhou Yi to appear.

Of course, it's not all bad news.

The good news is... Dortmund finally won their first victory in the last seven league rounds!

1:0, Dortmund won the away game with some difficulty and thrillingness, winning the second victory in the eight-round league.

"Klopp can breathe a lot! Barrios can breathe a lot!" At the end of the game, Marcel Leif said. "But we can still see that winning has a lot of luck..."

"Oh." Seeing the game over, Zhou Jianliang sighed in front of the TV. After waiting for 90 minutes, his son only showed his face in a few scenes and did not appear at all.

He wasted his time. Even if he was a fan, he didn't watch all teams' games or all games. As he got older, he rarely stayed up late to watch football. He was crazy when he was young, which doesn't mean he would be crazy now.

He just waited for ninety minutes in vain, and he couldn't stand it mentally and physically.

He felt very disappointed before he could see his son appear.

When he pulled all his energy out of the game, he realized that his shoulders were heavy. When he turned his head, he saw that his wife had fallen asleep on his shoulders at some point.

It wasn't just that he waited for ninety minutes in vain. His wife also waited for ninety minutes in vain...

He turned his head to look at the TV screen.

Son, if you don’t work hard to play the game, you won’t say sorry for your dad and me, and you will be sorry for your mom who never watches football!

After the game, Zhou Yi celebrated his teammates with his teammates and walked to the locker room.

But in the mixed area, he was stopped by a group of Chinese journalists.

Because Zhou Yi entered the roster in this game, more Chinese journalists went out with the team than usual. They all hope to witness Zhou Yi's first official appearance in the first team in Dortmund.

As a result, they waited for a game in vain, like Zhou Yi's parents and countless fans in front of the TV.

But they still have questions to ask Zhou Yi.

"Why did Barrios come to hug you after scoring the goal, Zhou Yi?"

This is the most concerned issue for everyone, because it means whether they have the material to write this game.

Zhou Yi did not hide this issue, nor did he feel embarrassed to talk about it. He said honestly: "Maybe it was because I told him after this morning that he would score a goal in today's game..."

Only then did the Chinese journalists realize it.

Some reporters took the opportunity to ask if it was a pity that Zhou Yi was unable to appear.

"Of course. Everyone hopes to play in the roster. However, whether to play or not and when to play is the head coach's business, he must have his own considerations. As a player, all he can do is train hard and wait patiently." Zhou Yi answered quite well, not like an impatient young man at all, but more like a veteran who is used to the storm and waves...

But to the reporters, Zhou Yi's words were more like scenes. Of course, they did not say so to listen to Zhou Yi's words. Moreover, Zhou Yi was mature and had a negative comment, that is, he was so worldly and could not speak the truth...

"It's the truth, Zhou Yi! We know that this is definitely not your truth!" a reporter shouted.

He immediately received the approval and echo of other Chinese journalists: "That's it. We all know what you said, whether to play or not is decided by the coach, but we want to hear the truest voice in your heart."

Zhou Yi looked at these reporters who were making fun of him and thought of his parents at home. Although he had not contacted his parents after the start of the game, he knew in his heart. In this game, his father and mother must have been waiting in front of the TV during the game, hoping that he could play.

Although before the game, Zhou Yi repeatedly emphasized to his parents that the possibility of him not being able to play in this game is very high, so they should not waste time and wait.

But after the real game, he didn't want to play for a moment.

If a player doesn't care about whether he can play, then the player must be unqualified.

Zhou Yi is obviously not such an unqualified player.

Even if it is not for himself, but for his parents waiting in front of the TV, he hopes to appear.

After the reporters started to cheer, they saw Zhou Yi suddenly fell into silence and knew that there was a chance. So they all calmed down one after another, waiting for Zhou Yi to say what he was thinking.

But what they were waiting for was Zhou Yi's grimace: "I won't tell you! Otherwise, you will write randomly to attract attention!"

After saying that, Zhou Yi made a face to the reporters, turned around and ran away.

A group of reporters did not expect that Zhou Yi would give them such an answer, and they suddenly felt like they were being fooled.

"Hey! This kid!"

"But he has told us, didn't he?" said an older reporter, reminding everyone.

Others thought about it carefully and found that Zhou Yi didn't say it directly, but his attitude had already shown that he clearly hoped to appear...

It's just that he doesn't want to make it clear. In order not to leave any handle, he chose this method.

He is really a smart person who plays football with his head!

Everyone praised Zhou Yi for his intelligence, but they didn't know that Zhou Yi didn't think so much at all. He really didn't want to tell the reporters what he really thought. It's just that these reporters are used to being creative and have good association skills. So they guessed it...

When Barrios came, a Chinese reporter stopped Barrios and asked him about embracing Zhou Yi and confirmed each other with Zhou Yi's statement, so that they would not report Zhou Yi's statement. Some people who deliberately seek faults would say that it was Zhou Yi's statement, and Zhou Yi was forcibly bragging.

So they need to get the testimony of Barrios.

Barrios was very happy to see that he was a Chinese journalist. Because of Zhou Yi, he felt very friendly when he saw Chinese journalists now. So he was happy to stop and accept interviews from Chinese journalists.

"First of all, congratulations, Lucas, you broke the goal drought. What we are very emotional is why do you take the initiative to find Zhou Yi to hug after scoring?"

"Ah, this is to express my gratitude to him. Because it was Zhou Yi who encouraged me before the game and told me that I could score in this game. When I really scored in the game, I naturally thought of him first." Barrios replied with a smile.

When Chinese journalists heard that they had obtained the evidence, and now they praise Zhou Yi, there is probably nothing to say about those who pick the bones in their eggs.

Although it was just a narrow victory, it was always a pleasure to win. So after the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Dortmund players were very happy.

Barrios was the happiest one, with a constant smile on his face.

This joyful atmosphere also makes everyone have a good appetite when they taste delicious food in the car.

As mentioned before, players often cannot eat too much before the game, so it is very important to replenish energy during the halftime break. Good replenishment can even help with excellent performance in the second half.

But a good time to replenish energy is not just an intermission, but also a post-match. Even after the game is more important than an intermission.

Cyp Herberg, the head coach of West Germany in 1954 World Cup, has a famous saying, "The game begins after the game." What he said may be relatively unfamiliar, and fans have not heard of it very much. Then you must be familiar with the other sentence he said, and everyone knows that "football is round."

Herberg's sentence "The game starts after the game" is not a slip of the tongue that Bobby Charlton said, "The most important thing about the game is the ninety minutes before the game." Herberg means that the supplement and recovery after the game are very important.

Because Herberg is a legendary player in German football, his philosophy is very popular in German football. Many coaches of Bundesliga teams attach great importance to post-match energy replenishment.

For example, Duisburg's former head coach Kohler once said: "After the body consumes a lot of exercise, the lost carbohydrates must be retrieved. So I will definitely bring all the players together for a good meal after the game."

The same views include former Hamburg coach Dore and former Hertha coach Goetz.

"It's better to eat something right after the game, so we prepared a lot of snacks and drinks in the locker room."

And now it is not only after the game, but after the daily training, the team will also provide some snacks and snacks in the locker room for players to enjoy. Especially in a team like Dortmund, which is also very exercised during training, exhausted players must eat something when they return to the locker room.

This time at home at Mönchengladbach, after playing the game, Dortmund players enjoyed the fried pork chops specially ordered by the team's coaching staff on the bus.

Although Zhou Yi did not appear, he also ate one.

Groschloitz joked and said to Zhou Yi with a stern face: "Hey, Zhou Yi, have you played in the game? There is no physical energy consumption. How can you eat like us?"

Zhou Yi stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and bit it down. The gravy filled with tender meat splashed everywhere, instantly filling the entire mouth. The fragrance even came out of his nostrils. Zhou Yi took a deep breath and sucked the fragrance back.

After doing all this, he said to Groschloitz: "I got up and warmed up four times in the game, and celebrated the goal once. Is it also consumed bad physical fitness, okay, 'Master'."

Groschloitz didn't expect how Zhou Yi would answer him, and was speechless: "Hey!"

Hummels, who was beside him, laughed so hard that he almost squirted out the drink in his mouth. Fortunately, he held it in his arms and covered his mouth with his hands, his face turned red.

The other team members laughed when they heard the conversation between Zhou Yi and Groschloitz, and the carriage was filled with laughter.

The coaching staff sitting in the front seats also heard laughter coming from behind the carriage.

"It's great to win the ball, the atmosphere of the team has improved..." Assistant coach Buvac sighed.
