Chapter 203 No problem

Although there are many speculations outside now, some of them are already scary, which makes supporters of Dortmund and Zhou Yi panic.

But Zhou Yi seemed very calm and was not worried about any problems.

Because he got the same answer from both Cortana and Dr. Braun.

And he himself did feel that his body was improving, and it was getting better very quickly.

So the next day when Zhou Yi went to the training base and was surrounded by fans and reporters, he said that his injury was nothing serious.

"I believe I will definitely not miss the two rounds of the match against Real Madrid, just a slight strain. But for the sake of security, I won't train with the team for the time being."

Facing everyone's concerning eyes, Zhou Yi said, his expression was very relaxed.

After hearing Zhou Yi's explanation and looking at Zhou Yi's expression, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Zhou Yi is not lying.

Later, the club's official statement also came out, which stated that Zhou Yi's muscle strain was the slightest level, so it would not have any impact on the next game and Zhou Yi's future career. If everything goes well, Zhou Yi will not miss any game. Whether it is the league with Hannover 96 or the next Champions League quarter-finals with Real Madrid.

Zhou Yi's own answer and official statement finally made everyone's heart temporarily fall back into his stomach.

However, there are still some people who are always worried, they are worried that the club and Zhou Yi are covering up their real injuries. It makes sense for them to think so, because the next step is the most critical moment for Dortmund. The Champions League entered the quarterfinals and the league entered the sprint stage.

At this time, the importance of Zhou Yi is self-evident.

So if Zhou Yi is injured, it may also affect the morale and confidence of other Dortmund players, thereby affecting the performance of the entire team.

For such considerations, it is not impossible for Dortmund to conceal Zhou Yi's true injuries...

※※※

No matter how the outside world speculates about Zhou Yi's injury, Zhou Yi himself proceeds step by step according to the rehabilitation training plan made by the team doctor team.

Five days later, he could no longer feel the muscle discomfort, so he got approval and returned to the team to train with the team.

When he first started training, Zhou Yi himself was still very concerned and tried not to do too big moves during training.

Two days later, Zhou Yi felt that his body should have recovered almost, so he began to gradually increase his meter.

Training also tends to be normal.

But I have to thank you for not having a match for two weeks to allow Zhou Yi to recover so calmly.

During training, Zhou Yi gradually regained his form, and Klopp had no worries about letting Zhou Yi play in the next league game.

So on April 2, in the 28th round of the league, Dortmund faced Hannover 96 at home, and Zhou Yi appeared on the starting lineup.

Before the game, Chinese media paid special attention to what Zhou Yi will be in this game, whether it will be a starter or a substitute. Some people believe that Klopp may not let Zhou Yi starter, after all, he was injured before and did not train with the team for a full week, and the subsequent training was gradually restored to normal.

Considering his training and just recovering from injury, Zhou Yi should have been placed on the bench list and waited for the right time before making a substitute.

Unexpectedly, Klopp actually put Zhou Yi in the starting lineup!

I don’t know if Dortmund is really inseparable from Zhou Yi, or if Zhou Yi’s state has really recovered...

The final answer is that Dortmund really needs Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi's state has indeed recovered.

Zhou Yi contributed an assist in the game, helping the team beat Hannover 4-0 96. He played for 75 minutes in the game. When he was substituted, all Dortmund fans stood up to applaud him and expressed their gratitude for his performance in this game.

Zhou Yi's performance is indeed worthy of such treatment as fans.

Although he only had one assist, there were two other goals that were indirectly related to him.

Moreover, his most important role in the midfield is to sort out the team's offense and give Dortmund a clear direction when attacking. Everyone involved in the offense knows what they want to do and how to do it.

This feeling is worry-free. It seems that the most complicated things have been solved by powerful supercomputers, and all they have to do is click the mouse.

This super computer is Zhou Yi.

After this game, local media in Dortmund cheered Zhou Yi for his perfect return.

Now they have the confidence to face Real Madrid.

※※※

Dortmund defeated Hannover at home, and Leverkusen and Bayern Munich also defeated their opponents in their respective games, so the situation in the league has not changed much. Dortmund ranked first with a five-point advantage, while Leverkusen and Bayern Munich followed closely behind.

Now, Dortmund is going to focus on the Champions League.

In the first leg of the quarter-finals, they challenged Real Madrid away.

The first away and then host is a good schedule for Dortmund.

But Klopp would not be optimistic.

Real Madrid has been transformed under Mourinho this season, especially in the Champions League, or to be clearer - especially in the Champions League home court.

Real Madrid won all home games in the Champions League this season, and did not concede a single goal! At the same time, they also scored eleven goals!

In the group stage, the three home games defeated Ajax 2:0, AC Milan 2:0, and Ausser 4:0. In the first leg of the eighth-final, he returned to home to defeat his opponent 3:0, and eliminated the miser of the Champions League for many years.

Such a perfect performance turned Real Madrid's home court into a devil's home court.

In the league, Mourinho has not lost at home at Real Madrid so far.

This shows how dangerous this challenging journey of Dortmund is.

Faced with such an opponent, Klopp only gave him three days of preparation time, and he felt that it was too short...

Despite this, he gave the players who participated in the Hanover game half a day off, so they didn't have to come to the team to participate in training in the morning and come back in the afternoon.

Then two days before the game, the whole team arrived in Madrid by plane.

The media also reported on the arrival of Dortmund in Madrid. Zhou Yi, as the core of the team, had the most close-up shots.

If it were in the past, this treatment alone would be enough to make Chinese media and fans excited.

But now, no one thinks that Zhou Yi has something to make a fuss about and what to show off when he enjoys such treatment. This is what Zhou Yi deserves.

They are more concerned about something practical now, that is, what will be the next game.

The battle with Real Madrid is about to break out.

※※※

Dortmund's away challenge to Real Madrid was the first in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Schalke also played a away game against Inter Milan in 04.

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter mentioned Zhou Yi's previous injury and asked Klopp if this would affect Dortmund's performance in this game.

In response, Klopp gave a negative answer: "Zhou Yi's injury is very mild and has been completely healed now, which will not affect this game. He is in good condition, just look at the last game against Hannover."

So what about Zhou Yi himself?

"I don't think my physical condition is wrong." Zhou Yi also said so.

So, in the match against Real Madrid, Zhou Yi naturally appeared in the starting list of the game.

※※※

Mourinho's Real Madrid is famous for playing defensive counterattacks, and their quick counterattacks are jaw-dropping.

But that is when dealing with strong teams, and when facing teams that are not as strong as theirs, they will not use defensive counterattack tactics.

This team can also fight against their opponents.

In this game, Real Madrid did not choose to fight a defensive counterattack from the beginning of the game, but instead pressed forward decisively, constantly putting pressure on Dortmund's penalty area, and launched a fierce offensive like a tide.

Their form of the game was so fast that Dortmund's players were unexpected.
