"...In a friendly match that ended last night, Dortmund, who visited China, defeated Shanghai Chongming team 5-0 at the 80,000-person stadium in Shanghai. However, the game was not as easy as the scores... The game climaxed in the last fifteen minutes... Yan Min, a young winger in Chongming in Shanghai, performed very actively in the game. First in the 76th minute, after a successful breakthrough, he shot and was rejected by the post..."

A highlight of the game last night was being played on TV, and the news announcer provided an explanation.

"Then in the 85th minute, Chongming got another great chance to score. Yan Min still created a murderous intent after breaking through the side... When he passed the football to the middle, Wu Lei followed up with the header, but he was over..."

"In the 88th minute, Chongming got a good opportunity to counterattack again. Yan Min received Wu Lei's pass and dribbled the ball forward along the side road at high speed, but when he approached Dortmund's penalty area, he was tackled to the ground by Dortmund's central defender Hornshu. This foul brought a yellow card to Hornshu, which also aroused Yan Min's strong dissatisfaction... In the end, Dortmund defeated Shanghai Chongming team 5-0 and won the second victory in their trip to China..."

"...If you want to say that Zhou Yi and Reus are not the most popular in this game, the one who is not well-known before the game is a young player. Yan Min, born in 1994, threatened Dortmund's goal many times after making a substitute, creating many opportunities for Chongming. If it weren't for his bad luck, Chongming should have scored at least three goals..."

"In a commercial game last night, Yan Min, a young player in our city, performed well in the game and stole the limelight from world stars such as Zhou Yi and Reus! His performance in the game is remarkable, and his speed and delicate foot skills are his trump card. It is precisely with these two weapons that he made Dortmund's defense line dizzy after he appeared on the bench..."

"...After the game, Zhou Yi took the initiative to find Yan Min. After communicating with him, he took off his jersey and exchanged jerseys... This is the first time Zhou Yi took the initiative to find someone to exchange jerseys. I think this is also a kind of encouragement from Zhou Yi to Yan Min who performed well..."

...

Unlike the previous game, Chinese media also reported on the game on a large scale after the game, but the protagonists reported were Dortmund and Zhou Yi. This time, the protagonists reported became Yan Min.

Yan Min, a well-known player in Shanghai, became popular all over China overnight. Through a commercial game, everyone realized this boy who was quite a bit newborn calf and not afraid of tigers.

The Internet is also full of discussions about Yan Min. Fans in Chongming, Shanghai took the opportunity to introduce Yan Min to everyone. After all, the majority of Chinese fans are still quite unfamiliar with Yan Min. Even if he was selected for the national team, he had a brief appearance in the national team. But this does not mean that he is a star, he is still far from it.

As for who can represent Shanghai Chongming or Shanghai Shenhua, which is so boring, no one will pay attention to it after the game...

※※※

Chinese media and fans are excited and excited about Yan Min's outstanding performance, while Dortmund is very calm inside. They are finished with one game. After all, this is a commercial game and does not mean anything. What happened in the game will lose its influence after the game and will not let Dortmund players remember it for too long.

The next day they left Shanghai and flew to the next city of competition, Beijing, the capital of China.

On the plane, Mark, who was sitting next to Zhou Yi, woke up in a daze and suddenly found someone standing beside him - the team's head coach Klopp.

Seeing Mark open his eyes and looking at him, Klopp grinned and smiled, "Hi, Mark, do you mind changing positions with me for the time being?"

Although Mark didn't understand what was going on, he nodded habitually at the request made by the head coach.

"Very good." Klopp hooked his hand, and Mark stood up, while Klopp sat down.

Until this time, Mark was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on, so he turned around to find Klopp's position. As soon as he turned around, he saw the team's sports director Zorke blocking him.

Zorke said nothing, but just smiled at him, and Mark quickly turned sideways and gave way to Zorke.

Zorke nodded and said "Thank you", then came to Klopp. At this time, Klopp had woken up Zhou Yi, who was also sleeping.

"?" When he woke up, he found that someone had changed around him, and Zhou Yi was also a little confused.

Klopp said to him straight to the point: "Hi, Zhou Yi, let's talk about yesterday's game."

"?" Zhou Yi looked confused.

Zorke was even more direct: "What do you think of the opponent's No. 28, Zhou Yi? After the game, you went to talk to him for a few words and exchanged jerseys with him..."

Zhou Yi then understood what was going on. He turned around and did not answer the question directly, but asked the two people: "Is the team interested in him?"

Zorke smiled and said nothing. Klopp asked without comment: "What do you think of him?"

"It's pretty good." Zhou Yi gave a positive answer. "Having speed, skill, and courage, even if the body is a little weaker, but I don't seem to be a big deal. At least I'm much stronger than I did at the beginning." He even laughed at himself.

Klopp grinned, and he also remembered Zhou Yi's physical condition at the time. At the same time, he felt that Zhou Yi might be using his own example to hint him - I have practiced such a body at the beginning, and No. 28's physical fitness is better than Zhou Yi, so what else can't be practiced?

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, he touched his chin and did not speak, and fell into deep thought. Yan Min's performance yesterday did leave a very deep impression on him, and his speed was not inferior to those star players in Europe who were famous for their speed. Yan Min is not the kind of player who is very tall, and it is estimated that he is similar to Zhou Yi. His legs are naturally not very long, but his swing frequency is very fast. In this way, the number of touches on the ball becomes more than those players with longer legs, making it easier to achieve various control of the ball.

However, what impressed Klopp the most was not Yan Min's speed or technology, but his mental state.

After being blocked by Hornshu with a foul, he has not given up on finding a goal. As long as there is a ball under his feet, he will attack Dortmund's defense and cause trouble for Dortmund's defenders. Although he has suffered three blows in this game, he seems to have not been affected at all.

From the beginning of competing with Piszczek, the whole audience booed him, to the end, all the fans cheered him up.

Klopp saw these changes.

This young man who seems to never know how tired or depressed is really interesting...

※※※

While Klopp touched his chin and pondered, Zorke stood on the backrest of the front seat and asked Zhou Yi more questions about Yan Min: "I think you are quite familiar with him?"

"Well. He came to Dortmund as a member of a reality show to record a show. He met at that time..."

Zorke was shocked: "Has he been to Dortmund?"

"I played against Dortmund Youth Team. Just like I did at the time..." Zhou Yi explained.

"Then what are our scouts doing!" I heard that Yan Min and Dortmund were anxious at that time, and Zorke was a little dissatisfied with his subordinates' performance.

Zhou Yi quickly explained: "Yan Min's performance at that time was not good. Compared with yesterday, he only had the advantage of being high in fighting spirit. The others... were all complaints."

"Okay..." Zorke accepted Zhou Yi's explanation and asked another question. "Then what did you say to him after the game yesterday?"

※※※

Yan Min put Zhou Yi's Dortmund jersey on a hanger and hung it on the wall.

He took a step back and stared at the yellow and black jersey. The jersey was aimed at him on the back. The most eye-catching one was of course Zhou Yi's jersey number "23" and the name "ZHOU" on the number.

Zhou Yi's number in the club is 23, and when he first joined the national team, he was also 23. Later, after the national team established its core position, everyone thought he would wear the No. 10 jersey. After all, No. 10 symbolizes the core of a team, ace, and is the number that every player dreams of.

But Zhou Yi did not, so he still chose No. 23.

At that time, a reporter asked him if he was so obsessed with No. 23 because he was a fan of Michael Jordan, the "basketball player". How did Zhou Yi answer at that time?

Yan Min still remembers it.

Zhou Yi Reality praised Jordan's achievements in basketball, and then modestly stated that he did not dare to compare with Jordan. He chose No. 23 because when he participated in that football reality show, he ranked last among the 23 people in the audition finals, that is, the 23rd place.

So he used No. 23 just to remind himself not to forget that he was the last one back then and was not an amazing person.

At that time, the media also praised Zhou Yi as a representative of "only forgetting his original intention can he achieve his whole life."

Although Yan Min always wanted to prove himself in front of Zhou Yi, he actually liked Zhou Yi very much and even admired him a little. Otherwise, he would not have really listened to Zhou Yi's persuasion to him.

He was very happy that the players he liked had this attitude, and he had always secretly asked himself to learn from Zhou Yi and "not forget his original intention."

Although I lost yesterday's game, Yan Min felt that he deserved his original intention. This jersey might be a reward.

He thought of what Zhou Yi said when he exchanged jerseys with him yesterday.

"Okay, I've turned us into villains." Zhou Yi smiled and said to Yan Min. "It's not bad, it's the same as before."

Yan Min naturally knew what year it was and what it was like, and he laughed embarrassedly. He was really a second-class man back then... Of course, he is also very second-class man now, but he has never noticed it.

"It's a pity that those few opportunities failed to score." Zhou Yi shook his head again.

"We are not lucky." Yan Min's tone was still a little dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi did not refute him, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, I'm not lucky."

Then he took off his jersey and handed it to Yan Min: "For compensation."

...

Yan Min, who stared at the jersey for a long time and was still naked on her upper body, took off the jersey and put it on her body.

Then he walked to the mirror and looked at himself wearing a Dortmund jersey in the mirror. He seemed to be quite good?
