Chapter 232 Zhou Blowing
After the game, some media were very interested in the conversation between Zhou Yi and Yang Muge on the court, and they went to interview the two parties.
But neither Zhou Yi nor Yang Muge avoided talking about this.
Yang Muge just said that Zhou Yi tried to interfere with some meaningless nonsense.
But he refused to reveal what Zhou Yi said specifically.
Zhou Yi did not disclose the specific content, but just half-jokingly said that he was talking to Yang Muge about the past.
The reporters didn't know what to say about the two of them, but because of this, many jokes were born on the Internet, and some people specially made videos to voice the two of them and imitated the conversation between them, which was hilarious.
So Zhou Yi set off another round of online spoof craze...
※※※
After passing the Ruldbeat, Dortmund was only four points behind Bayern Munich, and did not fall behind, and still had hope of winning the league championship.
This really surprised many people.
You know, just before the winter break, when Dortmund was constantly trapped in the wave of injury caused by players, many people said with confidence that there was no suspense for the league championship this season.
How could Dortmund win the league championship with a group of remnants?
It is already great to have them win three consecutive championships in the league historically. I still want to win four consecutive championships? It is impossible.
In the history of the Bundesliga, no team has ever been able to achieve the great achievement of four consecutive championships.
The longest is nothing more than three consecutive championships created by Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
If someone can break this record, in everyone's opinion, it must be Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga's natural king. Instead of Dortmund, who relies entirely on a group of people and one coach, he will breathe a sigh of relief.
After Dortmund won three consecutive league titles and the Champions League, his breath was leaking. The team will inevitably enter a period of decline, speeding down from its peak, until it falls to the bottom, before stopping, and then starting to rebuild and start a new cycle.
The departure of Gotze and Lewandowski was just a few pieces of snow falling from the mountain before the avalanche began, but it foreshadowed a more terrifying future.
Dortmund players were injured in the future. Gundogan only played for one round of the league and never played again. Subotic was also reimbursed for the season... At the worst, Dortmund couldn't even get a complete defense line.
These seem to be all manifestations of avalanche.
But no one expected that after the winter break, Dortmund's avalanche suddenly stopped, and the huge energy avalanche was actually stopped!
Being stopped!
There are occasional injuries, but I cannot break the blocking dam and continue to flow down.
It's amazing, incredible.
Now let’s review one game after another, and Zhou Yi’s name must be unavoidable.
He used assists and goals one by one to help Dortmund cross one mountain after another that seemed difficult to climb.
After the Ruhr Derby, Zhou Yi's photos and names once again appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, appearing in the pictures of major sports programs. It is also one of the most mentioned names on the Internet. After the game, countless fans also flocked to his social network. Many of them are Dortmund fans, but there are also many fans of other teams, including Chinese fans and non-Chinese fans.
Everyone was impressed by Zhou Yi's performance during this period.
Some media commented that Zhou Yi is the main reason why Dortmund can stand firm this season: "Although Zhou Yi did not even enter the top three in the FIFA Golden Ball Awards, this caused controversy at the time. But Zhou Yi himself was not affected by this matter... He was in very good shape after entering 2014, and he deserved the honor of the best player in Europe that he won at the beginning of last season..."
"Bortmond is enjoying the benefits of Zhou Yi. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's outstanding performance this season, I would bet that Bayern Munich would have won the championship ahead of schedule. But because of Zhou Yi, Dortmund can only bite Bayern Munich... Zhou Yi's performance in the league is so good that I began to look forward to what the Chinese team will perform in the Brazil World Cup - I am not a fan of the Chinese team, and I knew almost nothing about Chinese football before, but Zhou Yi made me interested in Chinese football. I am really curious about what kind of performance Zhou Yi can perform in the World Cup..."
In addition to the media's direct blow, there are also interviews with Dortmund players to listen to how they play Zhou Yi in a fancy way.
Groskreuz: "We are already accustomed to Zhou Yi's goals at critical moments and in games. Don't he have a nickname called 'wizard'? Do you think this nickname is just a fun one?"
Hummels: "Every time I go to Schalke 04's home game, Zhou Yi will be the one who gets the most booings. But I think this is the highest praise for him - if you can make your opponent hate you to the core, it means that you are the most threat to them. This game just proves this."
Kyle: "Zhou Yi is really amazing. I have never seen a player who can be as young as him but so mature and experienced as him. In Zhou Yi, it makes me feel that my experience has gone wrong..."
Sven Bend: "Zhou Yi can feel relieved on the court. As his midfield partner, sometimes he thinks playing football is a very relaxing thing..."
Reus: "Zhou Yi is a genius, absolutely. I'm very happy to play football with him. We encountered some difficulties this season, but fortunately we still have Zhou Yi. I hope he can always be healthy."
Mark Wagner: "I started playing football with Zhou Yi since the youth team, and I was impressed by his ability very early on. Who is his number one fan? Of course it is me! Do you think Zhou Yi is so powerful now? No! He was very powerful at the beginning!"
Aubameyang: "I haven't played football with Zhou Yi before, but since I came to Dortmund, it's really an eye-opener. I still remember the scene when I came to the team for the first day of training - he seemed to have played with me for several years, and was very familiar with my characteristics. During training, he was always able to pass the football comfortably to my feet. I was shocked at that time! I really wanted to ask him where we played football together before? But I didn't do that, because if there was such a powerful guy around me at that time, I wouldn't have known his name!"
Yan Min: "He is the most powerful player I have ever met! I think he is better than Messi and Ronaldo!"
...
For a time, praising Zhou Yi has become a trend. What domestic fans pay most attention to when going online every day is whether there are new "Zhou Biao"s.
※※※
Of course, the outside world can keep blowing Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi cannot really immerse himself in this emotion.
He did not take the praise he had faced with him to heart.
It was just a win in the Roulder derby, which was not a great achievement for him.
If he cannot lead Dortmund to the championship, then all his efforts in a season will be wasted, which is what he cares most about.
He will not relax his demands on himself until he wins the championship.
He sweats on the training ground every day and tries his best. After returning home, he also asks Cortana to massage him and relax his body to avoid strains caused by fatigue during training or competitions.
Cortana's physiotherapy and massage are also the key reason why Zhou Yi has not had muscle strain so far.
The break from the Roulder derby to the next league round is very short.
After playing against Schalke 04 on the evening of the 25th, Dortmund will challenge Stuttgart away on the afternoon of the 29th.
There are only three days in the middle, and this is still away, so you have to travel a long distance.
These will have an impact on the players' physical fitness and condition.
But despite the tight time, on the 26th, Klopp gave all players who played against the Ruhr derby for one day.
Yes, there is no need to go to training in the morning and afternoon. Players can rest at home or go shopping. No one cares about them and do whatever they want.
Despite the intensive schedule, Klopp is so extravagant because the players really need rest at this time.
The next round will basically be a weekly double match. After the 28th round of the league on March 29, Dortmund will challenge Paris Saint-Germain away on the evening of April 2. Dortmund will face Wolfsburg away on the evening of April 5, and then Dortmund will face Paris Saint-Germain at home on April 8, and Bayern Munich away on the evening of April 12.
Fortunately, Dortmund has given up on the German Cup, otherwise there will be a semi-final of the German Cup on April 15 and 16.
In such a intensive schedule, if the players cannot get enough rest, the team will be in a situation where they are willing but not strong enough. They can't even exert force if they want to exert force, and can only watch the opponent widen the gap with themselves.
After a day of rest, the main players returned to Brakel's training base again and started training with the entire team to prepare for the next league with Stuttgart.
After twenty-seven rounds of the league, Stuttgart scored 24 points, ranking seventeenth and second to last.
This means Dortmund will face another relegation team.
As the season is approaching its end, relegation teams are often harder to play than championship teams.
In the same round of the league, Bayern Munich faced Hoffenheim, the tenth-ranked one-on-one.
The competition between the two teams for the league championship seems to have reached a watershed again...
