After the game, Zhou Yi was surrounded by reporters. As the best in the game, he deserved such attention.

When asked if the result of beating Real Madrid away was a bit unexpected, Zhou Yi nodded: "It's true. We thought it was good to win a draw at the beginning. But I think it's normal to win in the end, after all, we also have the strength in this area. The strength gap between us and Real Madrid is not so big that they can beat us as long as they can win at home. It's normal for each other to win and lose. We are in good shape recently."

What he said is not humble, but no one accused him of being arrogant when he said that. He is the best player in the game, and he is qualified to say that.

A reporter asked Zhou Yi to predict Dortmund's performance in the Champions League this season. Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not a charlatan. How do you predict such a thing? I can only say that we will do our best to go further in this event..."

"Is it further than last season?" the reporter asked.

"If possible, why not?" Zhou Yi's answer was unscathed.

"Sun Pan had a meal with you before the game. Have you ever had any communication about Real Madrid? Did he provide you with some information about Real Madrid?" Chinese journalists are most concerned about the interaction between the two Chinese players.

Zhou Yi smiled: "The greatest help he has given me is to treat me to a meal. I still have to thank him for his generosity when I can win this game, haha!"

Although Zhou Yi said that Dortmund beat Real Madrid away, in the eyes of many people, the result is quite unexpected. Everyone thinks that Mourinho's Real Madrid is very strong. After experiencing the running-in of the first two seasons, the final result of this season is at the end. This team has won the King's Cup and the league championship before, just one Champions League champion. Everyone hopes that Mourinho can repeat his glory in Inter Milan in Real Madrid.

Therefore, everyone has high hopes for Real Madrid's results in the Champions League this season.

In fact, Real Madrid is indeed very strong, but unexpectedly, in the strong dialogue in this group, Real Madrid lost and was double-killed by Dortmund at home and away!

This result is really something that many people think of. First, they didn't expect Dortmund to be so strong, and second, they didn't expect Real Madrid to not have a convincing performance at home.

It seems that this death group is indeed a bit unworthy of its name, and the strengths of the four teams are not similar.

After the game, Madrid's media reported that Mourinho was facing a crisis of trust, saying that Florentino was considering changing coaches. Some media also reported internal conflicts within Real Madrid, saying that the players' factions were constantly fighting...

In short, if you win, you have no problem, and if you lose, you have nothing to do.

Leaving Real Madrid a mess, Dortmund's entire team returned to Germany with the victory and the joy of qualifying from this group in advance.

In another group match that was played at the same time, Manchester City was tied 2:2 by Ajax at home.

This result led to Dortmund, who had won four games and gained 12 points, qualifying from this group early, because Ajax, ranked third, only had four points, and with two rounds left in the group stage, it was impossible to surpass Dortmund in any case. Dortmund qualified from the group of death in advance. The "death group" that should have been difficult to distinguish until the last round has turned into a "travel of heaven" for Dortmund...

Moreover, they not only qualified from the group early, but also won the first place in the group early. Because of four wins in four games, Dortmund accumulated 12 points, and Real Madrid won two wins and two losses in four games, and six points. In the last two rounds of group matches, even if Dortmund lost, Real Madrid won. The two teams had the same points, but in the relationship between each other, Dortmund completely suppressed Real Madrid and won all the two games against Real Madrid. With this relationship of victory and loss, even if the two teams scored at the same time, Dortmund would be ahead of Real Madrid.

So this also means that no matter what the final two rounds look like, Dortmund will become the number one in this group.

In the next two Champions League group stages, Klopp doesn't have to pay much attention to it, but instead focuses on his energy in the domestic leagues, catching up with Bayern Munich, who has won nine wins and one loss in ten league games.

Thanks to Leverkusen, they gave Bayern Munich the only defeat so far this season.

This has somewhat affected Bayern Munich's pace of running wildly on the road to winning the championship.

Now after ten rounds of the league, they have nine wins and one loss and twenty-seven points, while Dortmund has seven wins and two draws and one loss and twenty-three points.

A four-point gap is not an insurmountable gap.

It has helped Dortmund a big favor to qualify as the first in the Champions League group stage two rounds in advance. If they are going to fight with three other opponents in the death group until the last round, then they may have to give up certain games, and the mentality of the players of the team will also change. They will definitely care more about qualifying for the Champions League, rather than the winners and losses of a game in the league.

On the afternoon of November 10, Dortmund challenged Augsburg away.

In this game, Klopp rotated the lineup. He replaced some of the main players who fought with Real Madrid in the middle of the week, but Zhou Yi was not rotated.

He still went away and helped the team beat Augsburg 3-1.

He was replaced by Klopp in the 66th minute and completed an assist in the game.

The days that followed would be a severe test for Zhou Yi.

Because he has to travel back and forth for tens of thousands of kilometers in a week.

After playing against Augsburg, he set out from Germany with Yang Muge the next day and rushed back to China to participate in the top ten Asian World Cup qualifiers in the Chinese team at home on November 14.

After playing this game, we will set off and fly back to Germany as soon as possible to participate in the Bundesliga where Dortmund will play against Fert at home on November 17.

Within a week, you will be able to fight in three places, form more than 10,000 kilometers, and play three high-level games. This is a severe test for any player's physiology.

But now, Zhou Yi doesn’t have to go through such troubles, and Klopp doesn’t have to worry about losing this main core that he must never lose.

Because before, the Chinese team had informed Dortmund club that the Chinese national team would not call on Zhou Yi to participate in the qualifiers of the Chinese team's home match against Qatar.

With the same notice, the Chinese team also sent Schalke 04 Club, Atletico Madrid and Siena Club respectively.

They all told them that the Chinese internationals in the team would not be recruited to participate in the match against Qatar.

This certainly made these clubs feel relieved, but at the same time they were also a little confused about why the Chinese team was so reasonable this time?

Everyone is engaged in football. They have also contacted the Chinese team and the Chinese Football Association before, so they naturally know how important the right to qualify for the World Cup is to this country.

The clubs were prepared to lose the main players, but they still couldn't help but complain about this idiot-like schedule. After all, at this time, the whole world has no national team competition except Asia, and the European League does not have to make way for the national team competition, but it is carried out normally. The club teams did not consider being affected by the national team competition at this time.

But Asia has arranged such a World Cup qualifier on a day when it is not an international A-level event. Who can accept it in European clubs?

These people are the main players of their team. Who would be willing to make their lineup hurt? And this delay is not a matter of a game. Continuous long-distance running in such a short period of time will have a great impact on the players' physical fitness and condition. After all, it will have a jet lag.

In fact, European clubs don’t quite understand that the Chinese team recruited these players back, and they didn’t even have time to prepare for the game. What’s the point of playing such a game? Before the players even hit the jet lag, they can play in the game. What can they do if they don’t get injured? Even if they complete the task...

But now, the Chinese team announced that it would not recruit four overseas players, including Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Yang Muge and Guo Nu.

This worry no longer exists, but the clubs began to wonder why the Chinese team did not recruit players and they could not understand them. They still couldn't understand them if they didn't recruit players...

He Ying was the only player who was summoned to participate in the national team competition. He even returned to China a week in advance to prepare for this game.

Because in Barcelona, ​​he still can't play the game. Since he can't play the game, where can he stay? He simply applied to return to China in advance to prepare for the national team competition. Barcelona is reasonable, or he doesn't pay much attention to He Ying at all, so he agreed as soon as he applied.

He Ying can't play in Barcelona now, but his mentality is pretty good. He will no longer feel anxious or angry about this.

In Barcelona, ​​he focused on training and kept his form for the national team competition.
