Chapter 191 The Pioneer Who Tests His Strength

This interview was very relaxed. Qi Ce and Guo Zhibin chatted for a long time, and the response they received was huge.

Guo Zhibin and Qi Ce have a good relationship, which allows Guo Zhibin to dig out more news about Qi Ce, which is of great help in promoting Qi Ce's image and is very helpful in creating an international sports icon born in China.

Coincidentally, just a month ago, CCTV held an annual sports man of the year awards ceremony. As the two most dazzling stars in the Chinese sports world, Liu Xiang and Yao Ming undoubtedly attended the ceremony, and the two were selected Selected as the guest of honor for the Best Newcomer Award.

Of course, being selected as an award presenter is a status symbol, but from another perspective, it also means that you have reached your age.

Although they haven't really aged yet, the Chinese sports scene obviously needs a new international idol to take over.

Qi Ce is favored by more and more people.

He is strong, young, has achievements, image and style, style of conversation, and the sports he is engaged in are popular. These are the advantages of Qi Ce. In the opinion of many experts, Qi Ce is also the most suitable Chinese sports star to take over.

The end of the last round of the East Asian Cup also coincides with the Lunar New Year. The New Year’s gift that Qi Ce gave to the fans is also inspiring. Even the skits for the Spring Festival Gala have prepared lines related to the national football team, which is different from previous years’ Mai Tai. , added interesting lines this year, making fun of Japan and South Korea.

After the interview, Zize boarded the flight back to Germany.

It is always a pity for Chinese people not to be able to go home for the Chinese New Year. However, after two years, Qi Ce has gotten used to it to some extent. After the decision to come to Europe was made, Qi Ce was mentally prepared.

Participating in the East Asian Cup this time has little impact on the league. Zize only missed one game against Hannover 96. This game belonged to Shinji Kagawa who returned from injury. He helped the team break through in the 66th minute when he came off the bench. After a stalemate, Zidan sealed the victory in 90 minutes and helped the team score three points without any risk.

When the plane took off from Narita Airport, Qi Ce looked at the business card that Shinji Kagawa gave him, feeling regretful.

well!

...

"Qi Jun, congratulations on winning the championship!" Back in Dortmund, Shinji Kagawa congratulated Qi Ce on winning the championship generously. This time, Qi Ce stepped on the Japanese team to win the championship in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately.

Of course, it is impossible for the Japanese team to say that they have no idea about the East Asian Cup championship, but in fact, the goal of Japanese football is no longer in Asia, and Japan's goal is to achieve good results in the World Cup.

This made Zize still a little envious.

Under the influence of Qi Ce, Chinese football has indeed improved to a certain extent, but there is still a gap compared with Japanese football. Even though they just defeated the Japanese team, sensible fans know that the national football team is still far behind Japan.

For example, many of the players in the Japanese team are very young, and Zize knows that many of these players will go to Europe in the future, and they will have their own positions in the top European teams. Shinji Kagawa is one of them.

Shinji Kagawa is not even the most famous player in Japan now, but just one of the relatively outstanding players. If there is no Qi Ce, Shinji Kagawa, who is the main player in Dortmund, may be able to do so if he is in China. You can count it as a big brother.

The first two games back in Dortmund have been a daunting task.

The first is the Europa League knockout round, and the opponent is Everton in the Premier League.

Then there is the Ruhr Derby, Dortmund will challenge Schalke 04 away!

Everton has been quite satisfactory this season, currently ranked tenth in the Premier League, and ranked second in the group with the Portuguese super giant Sporting Lisbon, which is not surprising, and of course it is not much better.

However, the British media still attach great importance to this game.

Since winning the Golden Boy Award, many Premier League clubs have paid more attention to Zice, and this trip is the first time Qice has played in the British Peninsula. Many British media also want to see how much the golden boy weighs .

Everton became the vanguard to test Qi Ce's strength.

The other is the mortal enemy in the Ruhr area, Schalke 04.

In the smooth first half of the league, Dortmund's only defeat was against Schalke 04. What made the fans even more unacceptable was that this defeat was still at home, at the Westerly Stadium.

So Dortmund fans want to win even more!

Overall this season has been very smooth, but losing to Schalke 04 is like making the fans eat flies. Some diehard fans even said that even if they won the championship this season, losing to Schalke 04 is still a shame. An absolute disgrace.

And Shakhtar fans have not forgotten that in the 2006-2007 season of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 lost the chance of the first Bundesliga salad plate in history because of the loss to Dortmund, and this season, they saw the chance of a turnaround .

Although Dortmund lost to Bayern Munich two weeks ago, they still defeated Hannover 96 in the last round of the league and continued to maintain a 1-point advantage over Bayern.

What Schalke has to do is very simple.

Let Dortmund also lose the chance to win the championship!

There are still more than a dozen rounds in the league, but at this time, giving Dortmund a duck egg is bound to have a great impact on the championship situation at the end of the season. There is still more than a week left in the game, but Schalke 04 has already rubbed shoulders and is ready. Good game against Dortmund.

Only two days after returning to Germany, Zize's game mission came again. First, he challenged the Premier League powerhouse Everton in an away game.

In fact, after the previous disastrous defeat at Allianz, many German media are not too optimistic about Dortmund's next game in England.

Germany is still immersed in the match between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, who had a match between Mars and Borussia Dortmund, who ended up playing King Kong and the actress. Dortmund left Germany in a low-key manner and took a flight to the UK. This time, the destination was Liverpool.

When it comes to Liverpool, one has to mention the Beatles, the greatest rock group in the UK and even the world. After coming out of Liverpool Airport, Zize knew that the airport was named John Lennon Airport, which is the deceased former Beatle. The name of the lead singer of the band, this airport is also the first and only airport in the UK to be named after a person.

It was not too cold in the UK in February, and the temperature was not much different from that in Germany. However, when the plane landed at John Lennon Airport, there were light rain in the sky. It seemed that the weather was not very good.

In this game, Klopp was actually hesitant.

After the Allianz fiasco, Klopp's attitude towards this game has also changed. As he said, the league is not the end of the world, but at least the top position is in jeopardy. Whether to make efforts in the league or break through in the European war , which became a multiple-choice question.

But there is another meaning to this game.

After facing a defeat, what is Dortmund's answer.

The defeat at Allianz was the most helpless game in Klopp's coaching career. The opponent was too strong, which was fundamentally different from the days in Mainz he mentioned in the locker room.

Most of the voices before the game, including Klopp himself, thought that there was no obvious gap between Dortmund and Bayern, but reflected in the game, it seemed that the situation was different, and finally lost 0:3. Losing games are different.

In Mainz, even in the most difficult period, when he first took office, Klopp lost most of the games because the team was really inferior to the opponent. At that time, Mainz was in the Bundesliga The bottom team, out-and-out belly.

It was similar in the season when the Bundesliga was relegated. Mainz itself is not a strong team. Klopp will have many countermeasures for losing. In fact, the last game was the same. Of course he won't put victory in his plan.

It's just that the reality still caught him off guard, a complete fiasco.

In this case, it is even more necessary for the team to respond. The last game against Hannover 96 did not cause any disturbances in Germany, because the opponents were weak. It is not surprising that Dortmund defeated them.

Under such circumstances, playing against Everton has become Dortmund's real response on the court, and giving up the game is also an option, but in the case of this kind of league that is considered hopeless by the outside world, does Dortmund want to do something? Do you want to do something in the Europa League.
