On August 19, 2o12, the new La Liga season kicked off, and this season's La Liga started earlier than in previous years. √

The opening match was Celta against Malaga, and Malaga eventually defeated Celta 1:0 in the away game.

After He Ying stayed in Barcelona's first team, Chinese media and fans began to look forward to the "China derby" in the La Liga. The Bundesliga already had a "China derby", and now it is La Liga's turn.

However, they have to wait until the early morning of December 17, Beijing time, in the 16th round of the league, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid at home, and that will be the "China derby".

In the first round of the league, at 3 a.m. on August 20, Beijing time, Barcelona faced Real Sociedad at home. At 5 a.m., Atletico Madrid challenged Levante away.

Sun Pan has been confirmed to be unable to participate in this game due to injury. According to Atletico Madrid's team doctor, Sun Pan may not return in mid-September.

So what everyone is most looking forward to during this period is He Ying.

But what disappointed Chinese fans and reporters was that He Ying was not included in the Barcelona roster for the first round of the league, which means that he could not even come on as a substitute.

After Barcelona announced the roster, He Ying was interviewed by a Chinese reporter and said that he missed the team's pre-season training, so it was difficult to enter the roster in the first game. However, he did not suffer any blows. He will continue to work hard and use his performance to impress the head coach and strive to enter the roster as soon as possible.

This game has nothing to do with most Chinese fans. Except for Barcelona fans who will also be in front of the TV at 3 a.m., everyone else took a shower and went to bed.

In the end, Barcelona, ​​the powerful Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad 5-1 at home. Messi scored twice, Pedro scored one goal and one assist, and two assists that appeared on the field. Villa, who came on the bench, scored one goal. He Ying's competitors performed very well on the front line.

Atletico Madrid, who had no Sun Pan, was tied 1:1 by Levante away.

The players all missed their respective games, but the reasons for absence were different, so their future was a little different.

The La Liga has started and the Bundesliga has not started yet.

When Zhou Yi just finished the Olympics and returned to the club, Dortmund and Bayern Munich played a German Cup.

Bayern Munich, who changed head coach this season, defeated Dortmund, who lacked the core Zhou Yi 2-1 in the Cup, and Guardiola won his first championship trophy to Germany.

By defeating Dortmund and winning the championship, Guardiola's Bayern Munich got a very good start. The football he showed also made many Bayern Munich fans and media excited. They all confirmed this time that after Dortmund monopolized the Bundesliga championship for two seasons, Bayern Munich finally woke up from his sleep. Once this giant wakes up, it will surely pose a huge threat to Dortmund, and even directly lifted Dortmund off the throne of the league!

For a time, the media and public opinion were full of optimism about Guardiola's Bayern Munich. Everyone hoped that Guardiola could move his successful system in Barcelona to Bayern Munich and also build Bayern Munich into a "cosmic team" like Barcelona.

It seems that the era of Dortmund is about to be over.

The situation on Dortmund is indeed not very good. Shinji Kagawa left, and the core Zhou Yi almost failed to catch up with the team's pre-season training camp. Dortmund did not introduce it in the transfer market. In total, four people were introduced, only one Reus was finalized at the beginning of the year, and there were three left. The nineteen-year-old attacking midfielder Bitencont transferred from Cottbus, with a transfer fee of 2.7 million euros. Kirich was introduced from Kaiserslautern, 350,000 euros, and forward Siberian from Stuttgart, 5.5 million euros.

This transfer is really different from Bayern Munich's.

This summer, Bayern Munich spent more than 61 million euros in the transfer market to introduce eight players. Javier Martinez's transfer fee alone is enough to top Dortmund's full transfer expenses this summer...

After winning the league championship for two consecutive seasons, Dortmund's championship cycle seems to be coming to an end. Shinji Kagawa's departure is a sign.

After all, it is already amazing to be able to win the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive seasons. In history, only two teams have achieved three consecutive championships. One is Bayern Munich, and the other is Mönchengladbach. Mönchengladbach has only this time. Bayern Munich has won three consecutive championships, namely 1972-1974, 1985-1987, 1999-2oo1, an unprecedented "hat trick" for three consecutive championships.

So whether from the current situation or from history, it is almost impossible for Dortmund to win three consecutive league titles.

After the Cup, the Munich Daily believed that if Klopp was smart, he should put all his bets into the Champions League in the new season. If he could make a historic breakthrough in the Champions League, then this would still be a successful season for Dortmund and him.

But it is impossible to achieve good results when fighting on both sides.

"...The Chinese are celebrating the first Olympic men's football gold medal in their history, and Zhou Yi has also become a hero of their country by leading the weak Chinese team to win the gold medal. But I think while Zhou Yi enjoys this cheer, maybe he would not realize that his performance in the national team will make his club difficult... Absent from the entire pre-season training, anyone who understands the ball knows... It can be said that Zhou Yi's Olympic gold medal is likely to be the price of Dortmund falling into the abyss!"

Finally, the reporter of the Munich Daily said confidently.

In response, Zhou Yi said in an interview with local media in China and Dortmund: "... After we won the first league championship, they said we would encounter a rookie wall, so it is impossible to defend the title successfully. As a result, we defended the title successfully, and now they have found a new reason. To be honest, I admire them very much. I have nothing to say, because they have talent bonuses in terms of stubborn words."

The media have always believed that Zhou Yi was missing Dortmund's pre-season training camp, so he would definitely not be able to play in the first round of the league. He might have just come to rest, and football games cannot be played with physical strength. His cooperation with the team is still a problem. After leaving Kagawa Shinji and Royce, Klopp will definitely make some adjustments to the tactics. However, Zhou Yi was not there at this critical period of adjustment, which is a hidden danger for him and the team.

But when there were four days left before the league round, Zhou Yi said to the reporter: "My body has almost recovered, and I look forward to playing in the league round against Werder Bremen."

His words surprised the reporters, how could he recover so quickly?

Even if he is not training at all, it will take at least ten days. Zhou Yi came to the team to participate in training after playing the Olympics. He has always been known for his poor physical fitness, so why did he recover almost?

What surprised the reporters even more was that Klopp also said in an interview later: "I am optimistic about his (Zhou Yi) playing in the first round. Of course, all this depends on the decision of our team doctor group. If they think it is OK, then that is OK. If they think it is not OK, then Zhou Yi and I must wait patiently."

The words of the two people aroused various speculations and speculations among reporters and fans.

After Zhou Yi left the suspense to others, he still trained step by step in Bracker. He had already conducted tactical training with the team, no longer just doing solo physical training.

From this we can see that what he said was not a mystery.

However, neither the reporter nor the fans can see it because this part of the training is not open to the public...

If someone thinks that Zhou Yi and Dortmund are both making a fool of themselves and acting again, let them think so. (To be continued.)8
