The next morning, Zhou Yi got up and found that breakfast had been set on the table. He thought it was Cortana's, but after he washed up, he found that Cortana brought out another plate of identical breakfast, and then sat opposite him and prepared to eat.

He was stunned.

There was an unlikely thought that came to his mind.

Seeing that he was standing still, Cortana said to him, "Come for breakfast when it's done."

The impossible thoughts in Zhou Yi's mind became reality...

He said to Cortana in surprise: "This...when have you become so good?"

Cortana rolled her eyes and reached out to Zhou Yi's plate: "Forget it if you don't eat it."

Zhou Yi rushed up quickly and wanted to hold the plate, but unexpectedly he held Cortana's hand.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go of his hand and said, "No, I want to eat, I want to eat... I'm just surprised. You made dinner for me last night and made breakfast for me this morning..."

Then he wanted to speak but stopped.

But Cortana stretched out her hand and said to Zhou Yi: "Do you think this is all free? I'm going to charge."

When Zhou Yi heard Cortana say this, he breathed a sigh of relief - this was Cortana's normal behavior, and he finally dared to have this meal with confidence.

Otherwise, he would be afraid that Cortana would make any requests that made him embarrassed after he ate it.

Money is nothing to Zhou Yi. Although his salary is at the bottom of Dortmund, Zhou Yi can still afford the labor fees for Cortana.

After dinner, Zhou Yi carried his bag, left his residence, and went to the training base for a new day of training.

It was different from the same mood as before as rushing to the execution ground. After eating the delicious breakfast prepared by Cortana, Zhou Yi felt that he was full of strength, especially when he thought that he might be able to eat delicious meat chops when he came back in the evening, he felt that the day would not be so difficult.

During training, physical coach Bartlett was surprised by the state Zhou Yi showed today: "Hey, Zhou Yi, I think you are more active today, what's going on?"

Zhou Yi smiled but said nothing.

He really doesn't know how to explain the reason to his coach.

But anyway, he is in a good mood, so the training effect is naturally good.

In this way, the training continued day by day, and Zhou Yi could eat breakfast and dinner made by Cortana every day. With energy supplements, Zhou Yi's training effect became better and better. Not only did the physical fitness, but also increased a lot compared to before, which may also be due to the delicious meat chops he ate every night.

However, such a wonderful day did not last long. A week later, Cortana moved back.

But Zhou Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was normal for her daughter to quarrel with her mother, but if she ran away in anger, she would never go again, which would be abnormal. So now it is just a sign that Cortana is normal. If she can go home, it means that the anger between her and her mother has been vented and she can make peace as before. Isn't this good?

As for the issue of eating by yourself, it is actually not that important...

While training in Zhouyi, a major event in the world football world in 2010 also began at the southernmost end of the distant African continent.

This World Cup still has nothing to do with Chinese football, because the Chinese team had been eliminated long ago. At the beginning of the World Cup, some Chinese fans couldn't help but YY. If there were Zhou Yi, would the Chinese team have entered the World Cup?

This topic has caused a large-scale debate on the Internet.

Especially in the summer of 2010, Weibo appeared on the Internet in China and became an important place for everyone to socialize online. This debate took place on this emerging social network.

Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their views on Chinese football.

The Weibo official also knows how to cater to this hot topic, and has launched an official vote, which has ignited everyone's enthusiasm for participation.

The final voting results show that there are more pessimistic people.

They don't think that the Chinese team can enter the South African World Cup with one more Zhou Yi.

Let’s not talk about the various chaos in the management of the national team at that time, but only from the perspective of football competition, Zhou Yi is a player who is good at making balls for others, but no matter how good his pass is, someone needs to be able to convert his pass into goals?

Many fans believe that no one can cooperate with Zhou Yi in the national team, and they will only waste the opportunities created by Zhou Yi again and again.

To put it bluntly, there was a genius like Zhou Yi suddenly appeared in Chinese football, but there was still a lack of more geniuses to match him. No matter how good Zhou Yi performed, it was useless.

So even with Zhou Yi, we will still be a lively audience this summer.

This is really a sad result, as if Chinese football will never make a debut.

Zhou Yi is in Germany. Although he focuses on training every day, the atmosphere of the World Cup still affects him all the time.

On the streets of Dortmund, there are posters of the German national team everywhere, and people pass by him in the German national team jerseys.

At this moment, there is no Dortmund here, only the German national team.

After the day of training, Zhou Yi returned home. Although he was tired, he still had to turn on the TV to watch the World Cup.

As a professional player, watching high-level games is also a way to accumulate experience.

During the training the next day, the coach would discuss with him the first day's game. Of course, the main thing is about physical fitness. For example, how many kilometers a player ran in yesterday's game, such a running helped him and his team perform.

Through realistic examples, we will tell Zhou Yi what the standard of running requirements of modern football is.

I used to think that if a player can run ten kilometers in a game, he is already considered a super capable person.

But now it seems that a player, especially a midfielder, is just generally excellent in running ten kilometers in the game and cannot be considered outstanding at all. And which of those midfielders who are particularly capable of running are not up eleven and twelve kilometers?

In the virtual world, Zhou Yi found that as his physical strength improved, long passes became more important.

In the past, because his physical fitness was not very good, his running range was extremely limited. Although he was always running, his range of activities was basically in the middle of the court, and at most he moved up and down. He rarely went to the side because his cross was not good. If he went to the side, he could not send out a high-quality cross. At the same time, he still had to go to the middle, so Zhou Yi rarely went to the side in the game.

However, as his physical fitness increased, his range of movement in the competition also increased.

The enhanced running ability means he can go to more places on the court.

But no matter how strong his running ability is, he cannot surpass football, so there are always some places where football can go, but he cannot go. For example, when he is in front of his back line, he has a chance in the opponent's penalty area. What should he do?

Like before, sending the football with short distance transmission and running connections? Then the opportunity will be gone. The situation in football games is changing rapidly, and some opportunities are fleeting, and if you can't catch them, then it will be gone.

At this time, if Zhou Yi has a precise long pass, he can directly send the football to the target area in the backcourt, allowing his teammates to seize this opportunity.

Therefore, the need for long passes is proportional to the increase in running ability.

After realizing this, Zhou Yi worked harder and harder in the virtual world to train long passes.

In the real world, he constantly hones his body, while in the virtual world he can conduct technical training with all his heart.

This is a good way to combine virtuality and reality.

In the past, when people described how hard a person worked, they would say, "When others were sleeping, they worked hard." Zhou Yi is now really worthy of such an evaluation.

On June 30, when Zhou Yi finished his strength training today in the gym, Bartlett and Wanler appeared in front of him together.

"Congratulations, Zhou Yi. You have completed the special training we specially prepared for you, and you have come out of the eighteenth level of hell."

When Bartlett smiled and said this to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi was stunned.

"So you won't use it tomorrow. You can rest well before the team reports." Wangler also grinned.

Zhou Yi then realized that he showed joy on his face and wanted to cheer.

But his knees became weak and he sat on the mat in the gym.

He had the energy to stand after the training just now, but now he felt exhausted and could not move.

Seeing him like this, both coaches were shocked: "Are you okay, Zhou Yi?"

"No, no." Zhou Yi waved his hand quickly, "I was so excited that I couldn't react at once... Ha!"

Seeing that Zhou Yi could chat and laugh normally, the two coaches felt relieved. Then Bartlett extended his hand to Wanler: "Take it."

"Tsk, do you have to mention this at this time?" Wangler curled his lips.

"Of course, I'm afraid you won't admit it later. You won't dare to do this in front of the players." Bartlett hooked his hand.

Then Wanler reluctantly took out a stack of banknotes from his pants pocket, then pulled out a hundred euros from it and slapped it into Bartlett's palm.

Zhou Yi was confused: "What are you doing, coach?"

"Haha, that's it, Zhou Yi. We made a bet when we were formulating this training plan. Florian thought you could not stick to such a training plan." Bartlett said and pointed at Wanler.

"Who believed you could persevere at that time? We were all ready to give up halfway. After all, such a training plan is really too difficult, otherwise why would we call this 'hell'?" Wangler was also quite aggrieved, "But who knew that you, a kid, contained such a terrible energy in your body! You actually persisted in practicing! You didn't give up halfway! It was incredible..."

Wanler shook his head and exclaimed.

"That's right, that's right. Your performance made us look at you with admiration. I am now full of longing for your future. Zhou Yi, I think you can reach a height that no one of us had imagined before..." Bartlett also tried his best to praise Zhou Yi who won him a hundred euros.

However, Zhou Yi grasped the point and asked the two coaches: "Wait, coaches. What do you mean... this training can be stopped halfway from the beginning?"

Wanler looked like "Are you stupid?": "Of course, any training plan is risky. We will evaluate the risk based on your physical condition. If you think your body cannot persist, or you think your body cannot persist, then the training will stop. Otherwise, what if you fail to practice?"

Zhou Yi was confused: "So if I think I can't do it anymore, can I apply to stop training?"

"Yes." Barthlett said, then turned his head and said to Wanler, "But now that I think we are lucky enough. Zhou Yi's small body made us so hard, but it was a miracle...

"Yes, yes. Now when I think about it, I feel scared. I won't play like this in the future... But don't you think this fully shows that human potential is infinite, Oliver?"

"Well, it makes sense for you to say that, Florian. It is indeed very fulfilling to fully develop a person's potential and see how he can achieve in the end..."

Listening to the conversation between them as if no one else was around, Zhou Yi was crying without tears - what was the profession that he had agreed to be! Professional! Why doesn't this sound professional at all!

Also... "Why didn't anyone tell me that I could give up this halfway!" he asked loudly.

The two people who were chatting turned their heads and looked at him and said, "If you tell you, you might give up the next day."

"Am I such a person without perseverance?" Zhou Yi was dissatisfied.

"Yes." Wanler answered firmly.

"If we don't force you into a certain dilemma, we really may never see how great your potential is, Zhou Yi." Bartlett said with a smile.
